Bookies battle the point spread! Week 15 [B]Well, another shakeup in the top 5 in the Bookies contest. Bookies that were in the top five before....and then dropped out....are now back in. And vice versa. Bookies that were at the top have now fallen to 2nd. Jeff Stoneback(Mirage) who's been hovering around 3rd place, has now taken over 1st place from Zack Goldberg with a record of 119-86. I'm trying to find out if Zack has moved to the Wildfire Lanes from Palace Station, and if these are "his" picks or not. Zack now has a score of 117-88. The reason we're showing 15 games instead of 16 is because of the switch of the NYG/MIN game to Monday. Todd Fuhrman from Caesers is now back in the top 5 in with a 114-91 score. Joe Porrello (Cannery) and Duane Colucci (Rampart) now have a hold on 4th and 5th place with a 114-91 record. Fuhrman is tied with them also.
Here are the differences in the line from what the Bookies picked and the actual lines currently. STL -1.5/+2, NYG -1.5/-2.5, DAL -7.5/-6, OAK -6.5/off, NE -6.5/off and MIN -2.5/off. Sooo, let's get started!

The above number represents how many times that team was picked out of 56 bookies.
Now for the differences. These are the picks where the bookies picked one way, and the Consensus picked the other way. These should be the plays for this week. CLE, MIA, NYG, BAL, NYJ. The bookies picked WAS, DET, and NE unanimously this week.
Later on I'll start a thread showing what the losing bookies picked for this week. [/B]
