Circa Million Week 3 odds

Think picking NFL games is easy? Try this on for size. Out of 5,274 entries in the Circa Million, only two of them are off to a 10-0 start. The prize pool with a $726,000 overlay and $6 million in the pot is going to be hotly contested as the year goes along, but picking five NFL games, even against “stale” numbers, is not an easy task.

The process for contestants will vary based on the individual, but one thing that nearly every entrant will do is look for differences between the Circa Million lines and where the betting market currently stands. While those discrepancies are magnified on Saturday when picks are due, it is still a good exercise to see what the odds team at Circa is thinking and where they believe the lines might go by the weekend.
