It?s a four-way race at the top, with TD, Tiger Wilson, TNT and Vegas Connection all with 35.5 correct selections. Only 30 possible points left and the field and the leaders are hitting just under 65 percent.
Finally, the consensus got it right! Last week, all five selections were a perfect 5-0, including San Diego, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Indianapolis. Let?s keep in mind that this was the first time this happened all season, and the favorite finished off the week 12-3-1. After the Colts and Cowboys cashed in on Turkey Day, the favorites are on a 14-3-1 (78%) run.
Often heard around the casinos, ?This is too easy!? Will the books strike back? Let?s get to the picks?
This week?s top-five consensus selections are listed below in order:
San Diego (+3): 114
Philadelphia (-7): 96
Buffalo (+5 ?): 93
Houston (+1 ?): 88
Tampa Bay (-2 ?): 87
Four of the five consensus picks are on the road, and three of the five are underdogs. Perhaps, the field is thinking that the favorites will fall? Also, the picks are pretty spread out this week, as only 114 people tabbed the Chargers in the top-spot. Usually, the first 2-3 selections have a minimum of 125 and up.
San Diego (+3) has been picked for the eighth straight week and has been crushing the number. The Chargers have covered seven straight and head to Arrowhead on Sunday to face a Kansas City. The Chiefs are off a short week after losing to the Pats (27-19) on MNF. Dick Vermeil?s team has won six straight against S.D., including four at home.
The second pick of the week is on Philadelphia (-7). The Birds look to sweep the season series against the N.Y. Giants for the second straight season. Philly has covered at a 70 percent clip on the season, while Eli Manning and the G-Men have lost three straight games at Giants Stadium.
One of the hottest teams in the league is Buffalo (+5 ?). The Bills head to Seattle on Sunday, winning four of their last six games. The two losses ? both came on the road. The Seahawks have are 3-1 SU, but 1-3 ATS in their last four games. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is expected to play on Sunday.
Houston (+1 ?) looks to snap a three-game losing streak to Tennessee on Sunday. The Texans are only 2-3 SU at Reliant Stadium, while the Titans have played better on the road (3-2). Quarterback Steve McNair is healthy and Tennessee will be looking to avenge a 20-10 loss on Oct. 17 to Houston as a six-point home favorite. The Texans have never swept a two-game set from any of its divisional opponents during its three-year existence.
I?m a little surprised by the last selection, considering you really can?t make a solid argument for either side. Tampa Bay (-2 ?) heads to Carolina on Sunday with a horrendous 1-4 SU and 1-3 ATS mark on the road. However, the Panthers are 1-4 both SU and ATS at Ericsson Stadium. The Bucs are the hotter of the two clubs, winning three of four, but the inconsistencies on both teams is clearly evident.
