So this magazine here in Vegas called Gaming Today is keeping track of 65 so called bookies (they work in various sportsbooks) throughout Nevada. 8 of the guys this week went with the consensus picks so this week only 57 guys actually picked games ats.

Thought I would try to keep track at how the public in a situation like this does. It's probably worthless, but whatever.

All the numbers are frozen.

The breakdown is the team, the spread, how many of the particpants picked that team, and the percentage of guys who picked the team.

Green Bay -3.5 pts 33 0.578947
