Circa Million III // Week 16

Happy Sunday! We hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, but it's time to get back to work! We are back with our NFL Week 16 Circa Sports Million III Pro Football Contest plays. There's not much time left in the season, so every game - and a little luck - will make all the difference. The season has been a rollercoaster ride and Covid remains (unfortunately) a part of the game, however we've had some fun and there is still a chance to get in the money. As usual, we'll start off with a quick rundown of the contest and then we'll get to our Circa Sports Million III Week 16 plays.

Each week we are picking 5 teams against the spread for a chance to win the $1 Million First Prize for best record at the end of the season. Point spreads for this contest are published Thursday mornings by Circa Sports and remain static through the week. We have three different entries in the Circa Million III contest:

Model Plays: This entry's picks are made using our Turtle Sports proprietary model. No discussion involved

Kappin' with Krista: These plays are made using group discussion as we hadicap each game and try to beat our model.

Entry formally known as Booby Plays: This entry was originally made trying to end up with the worse record at the end of the season for the $100K Booby Prize. As it turns out, we weren't in a position to hit that prize, so our focus is now on having the best record at the end of the 4th quarter of the season to get our part of the $250,000 quarterly payout.

Okay you got all that? Our records for each entry after Week 15 are below:

Model Plays: 44-30-1

Kappin' with Krista: 39-35-1

Entry formally known as Booby Plays: 33-42

So that brings us to week 16. Our Model has given us slight underdogs again - with the exception of the Browns at +7 (which we hit) and the Colts at -1 (which also hit). We're lookin' for big games out of the Chiefs (-7) and the Buccaneers (-10), however the Chiefs' offense will certainly be hampered with Travis Kelsey out due to Covid protocols, We've got two pick'em games with the Raiders and Saints, so we'll be looking for any kind of win out of both of them. There's plenty more picks for this week and you can find them all below in this post. All of our plays will be posted here each week, so join us on our journey to WIN the CIRCA MILLION III Pro Football Contest and get #InTheMoney!
