Circa Sports Million/Survivor 2022-Week 3 (standings Tue., lines Thu., consensus/leader picks Sat.)

[DaveTuley]

This the VFV Forums thread where we post the Circa Sports Million weekly lines and consensus/leader plays through the season. These threads have been very popular over the years and are what brought a lot of people to VFV for the first time (especially back when the then-Hilton was reluctant to even post the SuperContest lines and everyone's picks on their own website because they wanted everyone to come into the property). Oh, how times have changed LMEAO!

Here is the story on Circa's record-setting entries in both Circa Sports Million and Circa Survivor: https://www.vsin.com/circa-sports-mi...ntest-records/

In summary, Circa Sports Million IV drew 4,691 entries at $1,000 apiece, breaking its own record for a traditional NFL ATS contest (5 games a week vs. a contest spread) that it set last year with 4,087. Circa owner Derek Stevens guaranteed a $6 million prize pool, so there's an overlay of $1.309 million with first place -- which was won by VFV Forum member Durbify -- guaranteed at $1 million.

The big news was Circa Survivor drawing 6,133, a record for any Vegas football handicapping contest, exceeded its $6 million guarantee.

#CircaSurvivor is down to 2,012 live entries after just 2 weeks. Sunday's Week 2 eliminations were Browns (358), Bengals (192), Raiders (77), Colts (13), Ravens (5), Steelers (3), Panthers (2), Commanders (1) & Seahawks (1) -- plus the 21 entries that didn't get submitted.

#CircaSportsMillion Top 5 Most-Selected went 3-2 in NFL Week 2 (6-4 on season) w/ wins on top choice Jaguars +4 vs. Colts, Patriots -2 at Steelers & Packers -10 vs. Bears; losses on Bengals -7 at Cowboys & Saints +2.5 vs. Buccaneers. Out of the 4,691-entry field, there are 15 that are still perfect at 10-0. In addition, last year’s runner-up, Hannibal Barca, is among the 85 entries at 9-1.

Chiefs was NOT the best time to take them

Must be nice to be able to blow $1000 as easily as 11 people did this week. And seemingly happens EVERY WEEK!

It is fascianting to follow just as a spectator...as a participant, it's nerve-wracking. I survived the minefield the first 2 weeks in Circa Survivor with 2 live entries entering today, both on Vikings. I was almost relieved as I felt doomed and that I would be out of it, but somehow the Vikings rallied to pull out the win and keep me alive for at least another week (certainly don't deserve to be alive at this point, so I consider myself on a free-roll from here

GL,all live entries in Adam 1 including some VFV were rooting for Lions but your Karma pulled Vikings thru.
