Looks like two of our top 5 that just broke into the Premium spot has decided to leave after one week. Aaaron Kessler and Caesers Jim Pedulla just couldn't take the pressure and folded with horrendous ATS records last week.
However our leader, Josh Pool still maintains his lead and is even extending it going into the last 4 weeks. He now has a commanding lead of 9 games, and it's going to be hard to catch him with only 4 weeks left. He now has a 116-76 record. That's a little over 60% folks for picking every game. Not too shabby. In 2nd place, moving up the standings, after almost being eliminated from the top 5, is Al Beal from Paris-LV with a 107-85. all these records include the MNF game. In 3rd place is David Snock with a 106-86 record. Don't mess with him or he'll knock the Snock out of you! Tied for 4th and 5th are our newbie Michael Furman from the Excalibur, and a regular Ken Spence from the Riverside_Laughlin. They both have a 105-87 record.
As a side note, I always keep an eye on Johnny "On the" Spot from Bill's Gambling Hall aka Barbary Coast, as this guy is a two time winner of this contest. He's been quietly climbing up the standings, and now stands at 103-88. With a nice "rush", he can climb back to his usual spot in the top 5.
As far as the lines go, the only two that seem out of line...off by more than a 1/2 point are WAS-2.5(-1) and ARZ -1.5 (-3.5). Not bad for a card that had almost 4 games off the board earlie in the week. Soooooo! Let's get started!

The above numbers are how many selected these teams out of 51 Bookies. Looks like we lost 4 more bookies.
There were two teams that were selected unanimously, and they were BAL and ARZ. There were 6 teams selected 4-1. They are NYJ, KC, NO, JAX, NE, and SD. There were no differences between what the top 5 Bookies took and the Consensus.
