Add it all up, and I had 36% as my pre-kickoff projection for Dallas in Circa, but I would lean over, despite the strategic considerations, because I think the single entries likely broke heavy Dallas over 50%. Also some "all in" players with Dallas who liikely shoved.

Across all contests I am in where I can see pick rates on Dallas, the 38% in the World Championship was THE LOWEST of any pool. Median was 45% and several went over 50%, including those with higher concentrations of single entries.

The Dallas loss had the biggest impact on single entries remaining, with over 55% breaking to Dallas in the Splash Survivor World Championship. Plus, a subset of the largest portfolios that went heavy Dallas and paid the price.

2) Circa's holiday pick week, and Dallas at home on Thanksgiving, should theoretically cause more to save them for that week because of contest dynamics, not present in Splash, and spread ownership out. But

Circa actually has a higher "single bullet left" concentration that Splash. About 29% of all entries going into Week 5 were the final for a contestant, compared to 16% in Splash. And just as with Tampa in Week 2, we see the single entries breaking heavily for Dallas.

How often different types of Splash World Championship entries picked Arizona: Previously used at least one bottom-12 future value (FV) team to advance (primarily NYJ/CAR/NYG): 6.8% Hadn't used a bottom-12 FV team, but used LV or PIT in Week 1: 2.3% All other entries: 1.7%

We see similar behavior when it comes to entries that went out with the Arizona loss today, in The Big Splash. Previously used 2+ bottom 12 FV teams: 7 of 60 entries (11.7%) Previously used exactly 1 bottom 12 FV team: 3.0% All other entries: 1.4%

The Jets ran 32 offensive plays to Chicago’s 89 today. That’s the second worst ratio in a single game in NFL history, behind only the expansion Browns first game back in 1999 against the Steelers (28 to 90). (H/T @Stathead)

Single-entry players got crushed in #CircaSurvivor with Tampa Bay, as there was a definite pattern on who went heavy where, based on portfolio size.

There are 8 other contestants who had 10 entries alive and picked two or more teams in Week 2, and won with all. Team Bubba (4 different teams picked) threaded the needle with 4 different winners. There are 5 other diversifiers who need the Rams to get 10 entries through.

Of the 1,978 single entry players that entered Week 2, only 781 have advanced (39.5%), and 5 more are pending the Rams result tonight.
