Circa Friday Football Invitational returns with 25 professional players

The Circa Friday Football Invitational is returning for its fifth season, featuring a field of 25 professional contestants. Organized by VSiN and supported by Circa Resort & Casino owner Derek Stevens, the contest aims to identify the season’s top all-around football handicapper.

The competition spans 20 weeks from early September through late January, covering both college football and NFL schedules. Participants submit seven plays each Friday using Circa Sports lines. The field includes defending champion Chris Macero and former winners Chris Fallica, Jeff Petch, and Chuck Edel. Additionally, top finishers from the previous year, including Scott Pritchard, Jason Jarvis, Matt Ste. Marie, and Kenny White, have earned automatic inclusion.

Derek Stevens is providing $30,000 in total prize money for this specific invitational, with $15,000 awarded to the winner. The contest is free to enter but requires a formal invitation from contest management.
