Survivor Consensus Plays (And Non Play) For Week 6 2026

As I usually do on a Sunday morning, I checked in to see what the consensus has opted for in Circa Sports' NFL Survivor contests.

Today's browse resulted in a couple of surprises. I'll save the best (WORST!) for last.

To start, I noticed that the majority of selections have gone for the Los Angeles Rams to beat the Cardinals later today.

L.A. Rams are Week 6 Consensus Play in Circa Sports' Survivor 

901 people are on the Rams. I know this is a straight up contest, so all the Los Angeles team has to do is win, but they are coming off a Monday night game. I would have avoided it just by that alone. Add in the fixture went to overtime as well, I would have double faded them. 

As I mentioned on Friday, I'm opposing the Rams in the spread contest. The Cardinals are +12.5 road dogs. 

There are eight hundred and twenty-one players looking for the second-best picked side in Circa's contest: The New England Patriots. They're also at home. The Jets are their opposition. 

For what it's worth, my 'Survivor Leans' play - which appears in Taylor's Pro Football Gambling Annual - was Baltimore.  The Lamar Jackson-less Ravens are three-point road favourites to Cleveland. 

Grandissimo 'No Pick' in Week 6

The second surprising story, from this morning's observation of the Las Vegas sportsbook's contests, occurred when I checked in with Circa's Grandissimo consensus.

For those unaware, the Grandissimo is a survivor contest which demands a $100,000 entry fee. One heavy-hitter didn't make a pick.

I looked further into the story and it appears that the player's proxy - a person paid to make picks for absent entrants - didn't hand the selection in in time.

That's stunning. The baddest of bad beats if ever I saw one.
