I can hardly believe that I'm writing it's week 15! Has this season gone fast or what? So the Bookies only have three weeks left, and the Hilton mini contest kicks in. That's where the best record for the last 3 weeks of the regular season wins 10 grand.
My Gaming Today from last week disappeared, so we'll have to go with the records as they are printed, and not including MNF game this week.
As usual, Josh Pool is in first place, and it doesn't look like anyone is going to catch him barring some miracle. We have one new bookie that broke into the top 5, and it's a second bookie from Laughlin. He's Jim Garner from the Edgewater, not the former TV show. Josh Pool now leads by 7 games with a 126-81 record. Al Beal from Paris-LV is second with a 117-90 score. In 3rd place is David Snock from Planet Hollywood with a 114-93. Tied for 4th and 5th are the two guys from Laughlin, Jim Garner and Aaron Kessler from the Riverside both with 113-94 totals. Again, no MNF is included in the records.
As far as the lines that the Bookies picked against, here are the following differences. IND -1.5(3.5), NO -6.5(-8), NYJ -1.5(OFF), BAL -9.5(11), HOU_10.5(13), DEN- 10.5(13), SEA-7.5(6.5), MIN-6.5(9), NYG-1.5(3).Sooo, let's get started!

The number under the Consensus represents how many times out of 49 bookies that that team was selected.
Taking a look at what the top 5 picked vs. the Consensus, we have 7 differences. The top 5 picked, PIT, TEN, BUF, KC, OAK, TB, and WAS. The Consensus had the other side each time. Let's see if it makes a difference this week! 😉
