Looks like. as in past years, the bookies that have been in the top 5 from week 4, continue to stay near the top. This year is no different as Josh Pool from Fiesta-Rancho is still on top with a 4 game lead. He now has a 65-38 recird even though he only went 7-6 last week. But a bookie that made a monster move with a monster week, Cavin Kishi, from the Monte Carlo, had a 12-1 week last week. Congrats Calvin. He is now 61-42, and with another great week can be on the top of the heap. Al Beal from Paris-LV, also had a nice week and now stands at 60-43 after going 10-3 last week. Ken Spencer from the Riverside in Laughlin resides in 4th place with a 59-44 record and went 8-5 last week. In 5th place, a former leader is David Snock with a 58-45 record. He went 7-6 last week. Honorable mention goes to Jim Pedulla who is tied with Snock, but we'll use Snock since he's been in the top 5 for a longer period of time.
There are three lines which the bookies picked at that are different than current lines. The most glaring difference is BUF -1.5, when the current line is HOU -3.5. The other two are DET -2.5, now 4 or off the board, and SD which they picked at 17.5 with the line now 16.5. Sooooo, let's get started!

The number under the Consensus teams are the amount of times that team was selected by the bookies out of 58 bookies.
There is only one team that is selected 5-0 by the bookies, and that's the 49ers. There are 3 teams that are selected 4-1, and they are CHI, HOU, AND MIN. Just remember that the HOU line is out of whack as they have the Bills a 1.5 point fave. So we'll throw that one out.
The only team where the top 5 bookies differ from the Consensus is the 49ers. The Consensus looks for the Colts to win.
Hope this gives you some winners this week!
