The Circa Survivor Contest is getting into the thick of it as we move through November. There weren’t a ton of eliminations in Week 8, and now there are even fewer in Week 9.
- Lions advance 108 entries into Week 10
- 568 correct picks heading into primetime matchups.
- One of remaining three Grandissimo contestants moves on to Week 10.
Entering the week, 610 entrants remained alive, vying for the $25-million grand prize. Contestants just have to select one team to win to advance to the next week. With just Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football to play, 568 have already moved on to Week 10.
The only elimination to this point is the lone Survivor who backed the Atlanta Falcons against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid, Spain. The Bengals won 34-17.
The Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions were the two most-selected teams in the contest in Week 9.

The Lions beat the Dolphins as road favorites in Miami in the early afternoon slate. Of the 610 entries this week, nearly one-fifth of them advanced with Detroit’s road win. The Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 17-3.
The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t too far behind with 97 selections, or 15.9% of the field, and they took care of business as big home favorites against the New York Jets with a 35-12 blowout win.
The New Orleans Saints and New York Giants advanced a total of 87 entries with their victories. New Orleans' game came down to the wire, though, as the Saints needed overtime to beat the Cleveland Browns, while the Giants won on the road in Philadelphia.
There are 41 more entrants waiting to see if the Chicago Bears can get another primetime win, this time against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to advance to Week 10.
Things will continue to get tougher as we get deeper into the season, though, especially with the Thanksgiving Day slate quickly approaching.
No eliminations in Circa Grandissimo
There are just three contestants still alive for the $7.7-million jackpot in the Circa Grandissimo contest. The field began with 77 who ponied up the $100,000 buy-in for a shot at the prize money.
DEGENCHAT-2 advanced with the Chiefs’ win over the Jets, while JIMMYSHIVEOVERLY-1 and TWEENTHEHEDGES-1 picked the Seahawks and enjoyed an easy path to the next week.
