Bookies battle the point spread week 12 Well we now have bookies bouncing in and out of the top 5, although you'll still see the "same-o, same-o" in the top 5. But there are bookies just outside the top 5 who are begging to knock down that door and walk right in....set tight down...Daddy let your mind roll on! Ooopps! Got carried away for a moment!
We have two bookies who've been there...done that...sitting on top of the pile with 94-64 records. They are Joe Porrello from the Cannery, and Jeff Stoneback from the MIRAGE. Remember, Jeff wasn't even in the top 5 5 weeks ago, and now he's sitting tied for 1st. Only 1 point away at 93-65 is Duane Colucci from the Rampart. Filling in the last two spots tied for 4th and 5th are William Anderson from the Gold Coast, and Zack Goldberg from Palace Station with 91-67 records.
Now I don't know what we're going to do with Zack after this week as I understand he's leaving Palace Station and going to Wildfire Lanes in Henderson. Right now Joel Hampe is the "bookie" there, but his record leaves a lot to be desired at 72-86. I'm sure Zack doesn't want to take over that record, so I'll have to check who's putting in the Palace Station entry after this week. Sooooo! Let's get started!

33..46...39....34.....37....47.....35.....34....35..34....34....45.....33....38....36.....35The The above number represents how many times the bookies have taken that team out of 61 remaining bookies.
Now for the differences in the lines. They had NO at 2.5 vs. 3.5. WAS -3.5/1, HOU 1.5/6.5, CLE 10.5/9.5, MIA -2.5/+3, KC -1.5/2.5. The big differences are WAS, MIA and HOU.
And here are the differences of what the bookies picked compared to the Consensus. DET, JAX AND STL.
So we go on to next week. Here's hoping.
