The consensus picks did pretty bad overall last season, iirc, but I think they did well Week 1. Lots of chalk with those picks though.
Not sure if this will work but I went back a few pages and saw some of the YTDs on consensus last year.
I remember the consensus sucking last year, so I took the opposite of their top 6 games and faded them in a 6 team teaser. Chi +13' Jax +12 Det +9' Oak +9' Balt +9' Cle +17
2-0 on the day just went with a couple of ML parlays: Falcons/Oakland then Carolina/Greenbay Kinda leaning Minny/LAC tonight.
Lance's lock (Roundtable) is San Diego FWIW. Hopefully, I'll wake up to free money cause it not going to make it through this game.
I'd imagine the more random people, especially the groups who just split entry between friends, the more likely contrarian plays work. At least until a couple leaders emerge to follow.
https://fantasysupercontest.com/consensus-nfl-picks-2017-week-2 Someone correct me if I am wrong but top 5: 1. TEN (-2.5) 704 26% 2. PIT (-5.5) 662 24% 3. GB (+3) 630 23% 4. NE (-6.5) 627 23% 5. DAL (-2.5) 605 22%
I read an article about Week 2 being the best time to fade the public due to over reaction. That said, ATL looked shaky on the road vs CHI and GB looked solid vs Seattle.
3-2 for the consensus it appears. After the Bradford news, I didn't bet that one at all replaced it with Washington since LAR was #6. Salvaged with WAS ML and spread and over, Denver ML and spread, then ATL 1H and game. Unfortunately I put in a panick driven SEA/OAK teaser and it didn't hit so I broke even on the day.
tried to parlay Lions and Over tonight and got denied by 5D said fuck it and did Lions and Under bc it would allow that combo jokes on you 5D parlay nazi
So I've never bought into the idea of buying picks or that real sharps exist outside of Billy Baxter and Haralabob, but I stumbled across this dude on IG razorgoat, I mean when Tony at 5D limits you to 20% max bets after a couple months (and you're not angle shooting/playing bad lines); ya gotta be doing something right, right?! I realize this guy could just be broadcasting his wins, but goddamn if he's losing more than he's winning
Looks like three entries are 9-1, then a handful of 8-1-1. Would be nice for someone to emerge by weeks 4-5
