Bookies battle the point spread! Week 16 [B]Well we're coming down the homestretch, and things are finally starting to settle down amongst the top 5 bookies. 2 bookies that had gotten knocked out of the top five, have risen from the "dead" and are back in the top five. Fuhrman and Colucci at some point in time had dropped out, but had some good weeks and "bounced" right back into contention.
But the leader is again Jeff Stoneback who has constantly had great weeks for the last 7 weeks. Duane Colucci has made his way into 2nd place. Zack Goldberg who has left for the Wildfire Lanes is still posting his winners at Palace Station, and will do so till the end of the contest. Mark Mayer from GT told me so. Todd Fuhrman is 4th followed by Joe Porrello in 5th.
Here are the following difference in the lines that the bookies made their selections, and the actual lines currently. PIT 11.5/14.5, NE 5.5/8, KC 6.5/4.5, ATL 3.5/2.5
Soooo! Let's get started!!

The above numbers are the amount of times all bookies selected that particular team out of 56 bookies.
There are 2 teams selected unanimously and they are NE and NO. There are 10 teams selected 4-1 and they are, PIT, DAL, MIN, JAX, TB, NYJ, BAL, TEN, HOU, and SD.
Now for the differences of what the top 5 took and what the Consensus took. There are only 2 this week, and they are OAK, and NYG.
Tomorrow I'll post the losers thread. Good luck to all this week. Can't believe there is only 2 more weeks to go to the regular season. [/B]
