Video: Circa Survivor Strategy Show (Week 5)
Spencer Limbach and Jason Lisk run through Circa Survivor strategy for Week 5 and beyond.
The biggest decisions in Week 5 center around whether you should roll with the Arizona Cardinals or Indianapolis Colts — both favored by around a touchdown at home — or look to higher-upside options like the Detroit Lions. The Lions have one of the largest spreads on the slate, but they also carry significant future value and appearances on both holiday slates, making the timing tricky.
Another big question: Are the Los Angeles Rams a viable Thursday Night Football play against an injury-plagued 49ers team? And what about Buffalo — a team still looming as a potential survivor option despite some volatility?
