The three remaining contestants in Circa Sports’ Grandissimo survivor-style contest have advanced to Week 10.
The pool, which required a $100,000 buy-in and comes with a $7.7-million grand prize, has been whittled down from the original 77 entries.
Key Takeaways
- 2 selections on Seahawks, 1 on Chiefs in Week 9.
- Remaining entries own an implied value of $2.5 million each.
- 4 teams on bye in Week 10.
Entering the week, only DEGENCHAT-2, JIMMYSHIVEOVERLY-1, TWEENTHEHEDGES-1, evaded the landmines to make it to Week 9. Each remaining entry carries an implied value of $2.5 million.

Last week, the trio all took the Cincinnati Bengals and had to sweat as the Bengals needed overtime to defeat a one-win Tennessee Titans outfit.
This week, DEGENCHAT-2 played the Kansas City Chiefs and watched as they survived an early test to defeat the New York Jets 35-12.
The other two entrants selected the Seattle Seahawks, trusting in backup quarterback Drew Lock who got the start against the Arizona Cardinals with Sam Darnold nursing a quad injury. That pick was also without worry as the Hawks cruised to a 17-3 victory.
