**Home team is capitalized.

To read this across the top, we have Washington as a 2.5 point favorite over New England. There was 101 teams that picked the Skins which made it the most popular pick. Moving over across the top line it also tells us 43 teams picked New England which made it the 17th most popular pick. I darkened the 5 most popular plays from the contestants entered. Anyway this is just for informational purposes if anyone is interested. Good luck today men.

What's the deal here, Patrick? Would it be wise to fade the teams that everybody picks?

Generally the Top Five picks in the Hilton do well. The second set, rated by difference, is more telling to me. As you can see the first set can be contradictory - today the third highest pick is KC and Baltimore the fifth.

I'm sitting at 9th in the Hilton, 11-4 overall.

I -HATE- this weeks card. If this was a contest where you had to select a certain number of plays a year instead of 5 each week, I likely would have passed this week.

Having said that, the plays I submitted were:

Baltimore +3
Philadelphia +3
Cincinnati +5.5
Dallas +3
Green Bay -4.5


If I had to make the plays today, Atlanta would most likely be a selection.

Good Luck,
Bart

Hilton consensus has gone 3-2 each week so far...not a gold mine, but not too shabby for free.

So far if you play the top 5 picks you would have made money. I think the way Mosi did it is even better, by differential. The problem is the line's are not always the same as what we are shooting at come Sunday.

In my expereince when tracking the numbers in the NFL, I would tell you to not worry about different lines. Of course you should get the best number possible but I would not let it deter you from playing.
