For what it's worth, I went back and looked at the tabulated picks from the first first three weeks of the Hilton contest. Looking at the games in which the consensus of the "sharpies" favored one team by at least a 3 to 1 (75%) margin, these are the results.
WEEK NO. 3 = 4-0-0:
Cleveland over Tennessee (68 vs. 14 = 82.3%) WIN
San Francisco over Washington (62 vs. 17 = 78.5%) WIN
Philadelphia over Dallas (63 vs. 19 = 76.8%) WIN
New Orleans over Chicago (101 vs. 31 + 76.5%) WIN
WEEK NO. 2 = 4-0-0:
Buffalo over Minnesota (88 vs. 8 = 91.7%) WIN
Miami over Indianapolis (90 vs. 14 = 86.5%) WIN
New York Giants over St. Louis (67 vs. 16 = 80.7%) WIN
New Orleans over Green Bay (78 vs. 23 = 77.2%) WIN
Week No. 1 = 1-2-0:
Miami over Detroit (66 vs. 20 = 76.7%) WIN
Cincinnattii over San Diego (83 vs. 27 = 75.5%) LOSS
Arizona over Washington (75 vs 25 = 75.0%) LOSS
OVERALL = 9-2-0
WEEK NO. 4
Carolina over Green Bay (90 vs. 23 = 79.6%) ???
Not much of a surprise in that selection. At a minimum, it's an angle that might contribute to the confidence factor behind a play you arrive at on your own.
