Bookies battle the point spread! Week 5 [B]Almost have a new bookie in the top 5, but since it's a tie, I have to go with the guy that's been there for the last 3 weeks. Just like in Championship Boxing, you have to "knock out" the champ before you can take his title. Jeff Hoose, from the Luxor tied Anderson from the Gold Coast at 36 wins. The MNF game produced the same results, so we stick with Anderson until he is erased.
But now we have two new leaders that are tied for 1st with a 38-21 record. They are Todd Fuhrman and Joe Porrello. The next two bookies in the standings are also tied with a 37-22 record. They are Zack Goldberg and Duane Colucci. William Anderson pulls up the rear with a 36-23 record.
Sooooo, let's get started.

The above number is how many times the bookies took these teams out of 63 entries.
The teams that were selected unanimously by the bookies are: IND, WAS, NYG, NO and SD. SF AND MIN were selected 4-1.
Now for the differences. These are the teams that the Consensus selected one way, and the bookies selected the other way. So far since week 3, the differences are 6-4. 3-3 week 3 and 3-1 last week.
This week there are 6 differences again. The bookies have BUF, TB, CAR, WAS, NYG, and TEN. WAS AND NYG ARE UNANIMOUS PICKS.
So there you have it for this week. Hope it either helps make you some money or save you some. [/B]
