Some of you may have heard me talk about the Circa Survivor contest in Las Vegas.
It started with 4,080 entrants and after week 10 is down to only 173 entrants.
The way the contest works is you pick one team each week to win (no point spread) once you use the team, you can’t use them again.
The added twist to the contest is that they treat Thanksgiving Day as a separate week and the Thursday game before Christmas and the Christmas Day games as a week. So instead of needing 18 winners, you need 20.
These were my picks:
W1 - DEN
W2 - CLV
W3 - CAR
W4 - CIN
W5 - MN
W6 - KC
W7 - NE
W8 - LAR
W9 - BAL
W10 - IND
The teams I have left to use are:
AZ, ATL, BUF, CHI, DAL, DET, GB, HOU, JAX, LVR, LAC, MIA, NO, NYJ, NYG, PHI, PIT, SF,SEA,TB, TN, WAS
Keep in mind that I have to save teams for Thanksgiving and Christmas
Thanksgiving games are CHI/DET - LVR/DAL - BUF/NO
Christmas games are: SF/TN - CLV/GB - IND/AZ
I have all Thanksgiving teams at my disposal right now and for Christmas I have SF, TN, GB, AZ
Here comes week 11 and when it starts to get tough. Remember lose once and you’re out.
Tennessee is the obvious pick but I want to save them to have them available at Christmas if at all possible.
I know for certain that 172 of the 173 left have Tennessee available to them as well. It will be a popular choice this week as it should be.
What’s your play for week 11?
On a side note, I ended up for third in the William Hill College Football Contest in Las Vegas. I ended up 50-30 against the spread. The co-winners won with a 51-29 record. They won $325K each, I won nearly $67K. A huge dropoff to say the least but there is no shame on my part. It’s a very difficult contest and I’ll be back to take them on next year. First thing first, I want to get this 6 million. It’s not every week you get a 1 in 173 opportunity to strike the gold !! |
