Going to give the old contrarian angle a play for a while and see where it takes me. For those who don't know, basically you are picking against the public; if a large percentage of pickers likes team A in a game, then i bet on team B. I'm going to use two sources, Espn's contest where you pick games against spread, and the site that has wager in its name. (pretty sure i can't post it here)

Last week went 2-2, winning +.7 units for the second week in row.


Week 5 games:

ESPN- Buffalo 22.4%, Jets 24%, Chicago 24.2%

Wager******- Jets 28.4%, Buffalo 29.8%, Chicago 31%



This weeks bets...........

Buffalo +10 2.5 units
NY jets +3.5 2.5 units
Chicago +3 2 units
