Circa survivor players lost en masse again Week 3, as Browns, Bucs upsets eliminated another chunk

The most-picked teams in Circa Sports’ popular survivor pool were upset in Weeks 1 and 2, and though it’s too soon to know whether the most picked team will lose again in Week 3, the second most picked team did lose and claimed nearly the same percentage of victims.

The Cleveland Browns were picked by 24% of the remaining 3,874 participants before their upset loss to the New York Giants Sunday, eliminating more than 900 players from the contest. That number was just barely second to the Cincinnati Bengals, who were picked by 25.5% of contestants to beat the Washington Commanders on Monday night.

History is not on Cincinnati’s side after their loss to the New England Patriots eliminated the biggest chunk of contestants in Week 1. The Baltimore Ravens lost as the most picked team the following week.

Cleveland’s loss Sunday eliminated 931 players, and an additional 667 players went down with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were upset at home by the Denver Broncos as the third most picked team.

Another 515 contestants are sweating out the Las Vegas Raiders, who trail the Carolina Panthers 21-7 at halftime as the fourth most picked team.
