The Las Vegas Hilton SuperContestants predict that Sunday will be a real turkey for bookies and underdog players.
Twelve games are scheduled on the NFL card that day and the Hilton consensus sided with the favorites on 10 of them.
The San Francisco Underdog, an unexpected winner over Matt Hasselbeckless Seattle last week, was an 84-48 pick over St. Louis.
Opinions on the twelfth game were evenly divided, with local field goal favorite Atlanta and New Orleans receiving 68 nods each.
Field goal favorite New England garnered strong 139-40 support over the 9-1 Chicago Bears, making the Pats the best bet of Week 12.
The SuperContest attracted 416 players who paid $ 1,500 each; a host of entrants have dropped out along the way, with many expected to return for a three-week mini-contest at the end of the season.
Hilton contestants make five pro picks a week, receiving one point for a win and a half point for a push.
The contest is entering its twelfth of 17 weeks and will pay out the top 20 finalists, with nearly $ 250,000 for the champion.
Another $ 10,000 bonus (added) for anyone who chooses more than 67 percent winners.
The SuperContestants took two dogs and a favorite on Thursday and won with one of each.
The consensus won with local favorite Miami, a 65-57 pick over Detroit, and Kansas City, a 115-30 pick over Denver.
He lost at Tampa Bay, which rated a 55-42 call over the 10 1/2 point favorite and winner of Dallas.
Monday night’s nod went to 10-point underdog Green Bay, a 34-23 pick over Seattle.
The New York Jets were a narrow 43-44 pick over 5 1/2 point pooch Houston, the closest decision of the week after the Falcons and Saints.
Other consensus picks, all favorites, were Jacksonville, 63-18 over Buffalo;
Indianapolis, 83-38 over Philadelphia; Baltimore, 94-32 over Pittsburgh; Cincinnati, 109-35 over Cleveland; Minnesota, 77-20 over Arzona; Carolina, 103-39 over Washington; the New York Giants, 67-46 over Tennessee; and San Diego, 41-31 over Oakland.
The consensus is 76-79-4 to date and the best plays are 7-4.
Jarhead has sole possession of the former with a 40-14-1 ledger and a 2 1/2 game lead over Chicago Pete (Ventrella) and Win Big.
Four players are half a game behind and a fifth is trailing for five complete games.
Jarhead and Chicago Pete won with the Chiefs on Thursday, while Win Big skipped T-Day issues.
