For the second consecutive week, the remaining 10 contestants avoided any upsets as Houston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Buffalo and San Francisco all earned hard-fought victories.

The three contestants who backed Houston to extend their winning streak to seven games over the struggling Raiders avoided a scare as the Texans held on to beat Las Vegas, 23-21.

The Texans, who closed as 14.5-point home favorites, earned their fifth consecutive home victory despite only scoring one offensive touchdown. Derek Stingley Jr.’s first career pick-six to kick early in the game supplied Houston’s only other touchdown.

The three entrants who selected the Eagles 15 were able to enjoy a stress free Sunday after Philadelphia cruised to a 29-18 win over the Commanders.

The 7.5-point road favored ‘Birds, earned their second straight NFC East crown on the strength of 132 yards and a touchdown on the ground from Saquon Barkley.

The two contestants who backed Tyler Shough and the Saints against the Jets were rewarded with a no-sweat blowout 29-6 win.

New Orleans extended their winning streak three thanks to a monster performance by wideout Chris Olave who hauled in 10 of 16 targets for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

Finally, the one player who used Buffalo as 10.5-point favorites over Cleveland escaped with a 23-20 win, while the final entrant who had to wait til Monday night enjoyed a 41-27 win by San Francisco as 6-point road favorites over Indianapolis.

The 10 remaining players, who are each in ownership of an entry with an estimated value of $1,871,800, will have to make two selections this week 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) edge. Overall, favorites maintain a sizable 156-78-1 SU (4 pick-ems) mark, while ‘dogs hold a 119-115-1 ATS (50.9%) advantage on the year. Home teams hold a 125-107-1 SU advantage with 7 neutral-site International games, while also owning the more coveted 118-115 ATS (50.6%) edge. For the third straight week, games were higher scoring than the oddsmakers predicted with Overs posting a 9-6-1 mark. Overs now hold 124-112-4 (52.8%) 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 17 slate, it is expected that: Denver (-13) at Kansas City on Christmas Day as well as New England (-13.5) at NY Jets, LA Rams (-8) Cincinnati (-7) vs Arizona and Seattle (-7) at Carolina- will be among the most heavily chosen teams among the 10 players remaining in the contest.

Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, home to the prestigious Fantasy Football World Championship, continues to deliver world-class content from the best players to help fans win and stay informed. Stay tuned for more expert insights as the season unfolds!
