After back-to-back weeks of mass eliminations, the remaining 10 contestants enjoyed a stress-free slate, backing three double-digit favored teams that won by a combined margin of 116-44.
Jaguars Dominate Jets
The five contestants who backed Jacksonville to extend their winning streak over the hapless Jets were rewarded with a start-to-finish 48-20 victory.
The Jaguars, who closed as 12-point home favorites, enjoyed a record-setting performance by Trevor Lawrence, who became the only player in NFL history with 5+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD, and 50+ rush yards in a single game.

Eagles Shutout Raiders
The two entrants who saved the Eagles until Week 15 were handed the biggest blowout of the slate as Philadelphia blanked the Raiders, 31-0.
The 14-point home favored ‘Birds, who posted their first shutout since 2018, held a disastrous Raiders offense to a historic low of only 75 total yards—the fewest yards allowed in a game in the Super Bowl era.

Contest Update & Season Trends
The 10 remaining players, who are each in ownership of an entry with an estimated value of $1,871,800, still have to make four more correct selections as Circa’s Survivor contest makes Christmas Day its own week.
On the week, favorites went 10-6 Straight-up (SU) as well as 9-7 Against the Spread (ATS). Overall, favorites maintain a sizable 146-72-1 SU (4 pick-ems) mark, while ‘dogs hold a 110-108-1 ATS (50.5%) advantage on the year. Home teams hold a 119-97-1 SU (55.1%) advantage with 7 neutral-site International games, while also owning the more coveted 113-104 ATS (52.1%) edge. For the second straight week, games were higher scoring than the oddsmakers predicted with Overs posting a 10-6 mark. Overs now hold 116-106-2 (52.3%) lead on the season.
The Circa Survivor contest is a grueling contest which forces entrants to pick one winner every week, with no spread, with one pivotal caveat: Entrants CAN NOT use the same team more than once during the course of the season. Circa Survivor, which requires a $1,000 entry fee, will once again be a massive sweat for those who run deep into the season due to the massive winner-take-all prize pool.
As for the look-ahead to the Week 16 slate, it is expected that: Houston (-14) vs Las Vegas, Buffalo (-10) at Cleveland and Detroit (-7) vs Pittsburgh – will be among the most heavily chosen teams among the 10 players remaining in the contest.
