We’re only through the early wave of games on the opening week of the NFL season, but the first big upset of the year has already knocked out nearly half of all survivor pool entrants.
The New England Patriots stunned Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon at Paycor Stadium Ohio to claim a 16-10 win. The Bengals were overwhelming favorites entering the game on BetMGM.
But with the Patriots’ win, 43.59% of entries in Yahoo Sports survivor pools were eliminated.

The Patriots jumped up to a 10-0 lead at halftime, thanks to a 3-yard rush from Rhamondre Stevenson to start the second quarter.
