Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season is here and the famed Circa Survivor pool is down to a just three contestants.<\/p>\n

The $6.13 million winner-take-all contest started the year with 6,133 participants, and that tally was pared to 30 entering week 15<\/a>, confirming that week of NFL action wasn\u2019t hospitable to Circa Survivor contestants. With a scant three entries remaining, each has an intrinsic value of more than $2.04 million entering Sunday.<\/p>\n

Currently in its fourth year, Circa Survivor offered a hefty $6,133,000 payout for the last entry standing. The contest has consisted of up to 20 legs throughout the year, one for every week of the football season plus two special weeks. Each week, participants choose one different team to win straight up, but the player cannot pick the same team again for the duration of the season. Thanksgiving and Christmas were considered their own contest weeks,\u201d<\/strong> according to a statement issued by Las Vegas-based Circa Sports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Circa Survivor requires participants<\/a> to pick a single NFL winner each, but not against the spread. Contestants can only select a team once over the course of the season.<\/p>\n

Circa Survivor Players Running Low on Elite Teams<\/h2>\n

In an ideal scenario, a survivor pool contestant is able to remain \u201con the island\u201d over the course of the season without leaning heavily on the NFL\u2019s elite teams. However, that wasn\u2019t the case for Circa Survivor\u2019s remaining trio.<\/p>\n

\u201cFavorites in week 17 include the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. However, those teams have been used by each of the remaining competitors. Instead, teams likely to be chosen could include the Los Angeles Chargers (vs Los Angeles Rams), Detroit Lions (vs Chicago Bears) and New York Giants (at Indianapolis Colts),\u201d added Circa Sports.<\/p>\n

\n

One participant can select the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings, and there\u2019s some availability left with playoff contenders such as the Tennessee Titans and the Washington Commanders. However, other playoff contenders such as the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off the board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bottom line: Circa Survivor\u2019s three remaining aren\u2019t picking from the cream of the NFL crop this week or next, for that matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raiders Proved Costly For One Contestant<\/h2>\n

Interestingly, it\u2019s the Las Vegas Raiders that stand as the reason why the Circa Survivor<\/a> season lasted until this week. The name of the game is to survive, meaning that once one entry is left, the contest is over, regardless of how many games are left in the NFL season.<\/p>\n

Entering Christmas Eve, one of four remaining entries in the pool selected the Raiders, while the other three had the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders led for nearly all of that contest, but the team\u2019s inability to muster more than 10 points opened the door for the Steelers to win with a late touchdown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That entry went from the brink of taking home all $6.13 million to being eliminated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
