NFL SuperContest Week 9 Picks
Struggling with who to take in Week 9 of the NFL? Here’s a look at the top player picks in the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest.
The top five picks for Week 9 in the 2016 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest are the Broncos, Steelers, Saints, Panthers and Eagles. According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Broncos are a 1-point road underdog versus the Raiders on Sunday Night Football while the Steelers are a 1-point dog in Baltimore early on Sunday. The Saints are a 4.5-point road favorite at the 49ers while the Panthers are -3 at the Rams and the Eagles are +3 versus the Giants in East Rutherford.
Of course, it has been better to fade the top 5 this year, with an ATS record of 14-25-1. The top 5 is coming off a 3-2 week in Week 8, with the Patriots, Raiders and Saints all covering, and the Chargers and Falcons coming up short. That makes two straight weeks where the top 5 has finished with a winning record so perhaps the tide is turning.
