2026 Circa Survivor Pool: Week 4 Contestants Pile On Vikings, Ravens
Circa Survivor for 2026 saw massive carnage in Weeks 1 and 2. Comparatively, Week 3 was an eye-blink. But there was still plenty of damage.
For the third straight week, the second-most-selected team lost. This time, it was the Seattle Seahawks, who blew up more than 1,100 entries. The Green Bay Packers didn't do the field any favors, either.
As Circa Survivor Week 4 arrives, the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens are hugely popular among the 6,285 remaining entries vying for the $25.017 million pot.

2026 Circa Survivor
Will Carnage Continue?
LATEST UPDATE: Circa Survivor 2026 started with 25,017 entries at $1,000 apiece, hence the $25.017 million pot. Of that, only 6,292 reached Week 3, and before we get to Sunday, that's already down to 6,285, just 25.1% of the original field.
Six entries took the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Thursday night game, and the seventh failed to submit a pick by Saturday's 4 p.m. PT deadline. Four entries took the Cleveland Browns and are already on to Week 5.
Cleveland edged Pittsburgh 27-24 on a waning-seconds field goal.
The death knell each of the first three weeks has been the second-most-selected team. It was the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 (7,585), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 (6,061) and the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3 (1,111).
That's 14,757 extinguished entries, or 59% of the original field.
Jeff Benson, director of operations for Circa Sports, summed it up well:
“Another week, another top-two team losing. You can't take for granted ever having an easy win in this league and this contest, which is what makes it so great to be a part of and to follow."
On Saturday night, Benson and Circa Sports chief Derek Stevens revealed the Circa Survivor Week 4 selections. The top five picks:
- Minnesota Vikings 2,733
- Baltimore Ravens 2,449
- Seahawks 442
- Buffalo Bills 178
- Indianapolis Colts 161
In Week 3, a total of 2,318 entries fell. That's after 8,039 entries bowed out in Week 1 and 8,368 in Week 2. After 18 entries failed to submit a pick in Week 1 and a more stunning 42 in Week 2, just three entries missed the Week 3 deadline, and only one entry didn't submit a Week 4 pick.
Circa Survivor Grandissimo
The Seahawks' upset loss smacked the field in 2026 Circa Survivor Grandissimo, as well. Of the 30 entries that reached Week 3, six took Seattle. At $100,000 per entry, that's $600,000 eliminated.
And the field is now down to 24, from 77 original entries. So $5.3 million in entries is up in smoke after just three weeks, as the final two dozen pursue the $7.7 million pot. The implied value of each entry is now $320,833.
Thankfully, none of Week 4 Survivors took the Steelers. Following are the Week 4 plays:
- Ravens 13
- Vikings 9
- Seahawks 2
Circa Million
This is Circa Sports' original picks contest, launching in 2019. Contestants make five NFL picks per week against the spread. It's $1,000 per entry, and for the third straight year, the guaranteed prize pool is $6 million.
Also for the third straight year, the contest has overlay, drawing 5,790 entries. So Circa owner Derek Stevens will pony up the $210,000 to reach the $6 million guarantee.
Through three weeks, one entry stands alone at the top of the leaderboard. Wild Terps-1 is 13-1-1, and there's a five-way tie for second at 13-2.
There's also a solo leader for the $100,000 last-place prize. Ace Frehley 1-1 is an almost perfect loser at 1-14, with 10 entries second-to-last at 2-13.
