One and done.
A day after the Circa Survivor pro football contest shattered records with 25,017 entries and a $25.017 million prize pool, the Los Angeles Chargers eliminated almost one-third of the field on the first NFL Sunday of the season.
The Chargers, the NFL’s biggest Week 1 favorites by 9½ points over the Arizona Cardinals, trailed 13-7 at halftime and never led en route to a 26-14 loss. The stunning defeat knocked out 7,585 Survivor entries (30.3 percent) that paid $1,000 each to compete in the richest football handicapping contest in history.
LA’s loss also cost 28 of the 77 entries (36.4 percent) in the Circa Grandissimo high-stakes Survivor contest their $100,000 entry fees.
