The consensus pick gave NFL Survivor Pool players another scare in Week 8 as it took a late touchdown from the Bengals to send their game against the Titans into overtime, where Cincinnati prevailed. With 53% of the Circa Survivor Pool on the Bengals, a loss would've taken out more than $13 million in implied value, distributing it to the remaining Survivors in the Vegas pool with a prize of more than $25 million. Ultimately, it was just the Cowboys among picks with any popularity to take out a chunk of the contest.
If there is a consensus pick this week, it's likely to be a Seahawks team that is a double-digit favorite hosting a Cardinals team that is somehow 3-2 on the road this season with wins over the Chargers, Rams and Cowboys. That's assuming a significant chunk of Survivor Pool participants didn't already use the Seahawks in Week 2 (at Arizona) or Week 4 (hosting the Chargers).
Should you back that consensus play or spend another week looking for a pivot? We'll break the slate down below.
