WEEK 8: Half the Field Gone. Chaos.

10-31-2025
Week 8 in Circa Survivor was straight-up carnage. We started the week with 4,214 entries… and ended with 2,057. Yup, half the pool was gone in one weekend. 

The biggest culprits? The Falcons and Bengals. 

The Falcons absolutely nuked 32.9% of the field. Over a thousand people trusted Atlanta this week, and they went down ugly. Pain. Meanwhile, the Bengals took out another 18%, what was supposed to be a “safe” pick turned into a full-on disaster. Between those two teams alone, over 2,100 entries were wiped. 

And it hit close to home , Winners Circle Proxy clients felt it too. We started the year with 3,565 entries, and now we’re sitting at 368. The competition is thinning fast, and it’s officially crunch time. From here on out, every pick matters. You’ve got Thanksgiving games and Christmas Day games coming up, so strategy is everything. No autopilot moves anymore. 

Falcons 

The Atlanta Falcons came into Week 8 with hope, but quickly crashed back to reality. They got absolutely handled at home by the Miami Dolphins, losing 34-10 and reminding everyone how fast things can spiral. The offence looked lifeless, the defence looked flat, and with one of the biggest share of Survivor picks riding on them, that kind of beatdown spells disaster for a lot of players. 

Bengals 

Then you’ve got the Cincinnati Bengals, sitting on a 31-16 lead heading into the 4th quarter of their game vs. the New York Jets. They looked comfortable. They weren’t. The Jets exploded for 23 fourth-quarter points and stunned Cincy 39-38, handing the Bengals a collapse of monumental proportions, and taking down tons of Survivor entries in the process. 

HOLIDAY CHAOS MODE: THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS WEEKS 

If you thought things were already intense, buckle up, Thanksgiving and Christmas each count as their own separate weeks in Circa Survivor. That means extra slates, extra strategy, and no room for error. You’ve got to plan those picks weeks ahead because you can’t reuse a team you’ve already played, and these holiday games can make or break your season. While everyone else is stressing over turkey and travel plans, Survivor players are stressing over which team isn’t going to ruin their holiday dinner. 

MILLION VII: OUR CLIENTS ARE COOKING 

Over in Circa Million, a few of our clients are still absolutely rolling. HE IS THE ONE, PPW, THEMIND97, and SVIK’S PICKX are all tied for 3rd place overall with a 29-11 record. Unreal consistency. 

For the Q2 standings, 1EYEDKING is tied for 2nd at 17-3, while BILLTOWN BOYS and SVIK’S PICKX are tied for 8th at 16-4. One more week left in Q2, fingers crossed they can climb even higher. 

LOCK IN. 

This is where things get real. Survivor is down to the die-hards, Millions are heating up, and the holidays are bringing chaos to the schedule. The margin for error is basically gone, it’s time to lock in and trust your gut. 

We’re insanely proud of all our Winners Circle Proxy clients who are still standing strong. The competition’s getting smaller, but the payouts are getting bigger, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
