Las Vegas Westgate SuperContest Contestants Post Strong NFL Week 4

Tournament Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings: NFL Week 8
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Four of the five most popular NFL Week 4 selections covered in the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest and the week delivered another very positive outcome for poolsters as a whole. What happened?

The poolsters picked up the scent of a stellar Week 3 by the underdogs (11-5 ATS) and the dogs barked again as seven dogs won straight up and posted a 9-7 record (very nearly 10-6 if not for that wild Redskins-Chiefs result). Meanwhile home teams got smacked 6-10 against the spread.

Most Popular Picks Prevail and Dogs Bark Again as SuperContest Contestants Improve Records

Here’s a snapshot at the most popular Week 4 picks among the field of 2,748 in the $1,500 per-entry contest that will pay over $1 million to the winner (via FantasySuperContest):

  1. Denver Broncos (-2.5) vs. Oakland Raiders (963 picks)(Win)
  2. Los Angeles Chargers (-1.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (774 picks) (Loss)
  3. New York Giants (+3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (726 picks) (Win)
  4. New Orleans Saints (-3) β€œat” Miami Dolphins (705 picks) (Win)
  5. Cincinnati Bengals (-3) at Cleveland Browns (595 picks) (Win)

Most Popular Picks Prevail and Dogs Bark Again as SuperContest Contestants Improve Records

The top of the docket certainly delivered and the average weekly win poolwide totaled 2.79 correct picks, a marked improvement over Week 3’s 2.37 average wins. A hearty 113 contestants registered a perfect 5-0 (4.1%) with 581 at 4-1 (21.1%) and fewer than 10% scored only 1 win or less.

Two of the NFL’s three winless teams garnered heavy support (Chargers, Giants) but only the Giants delivered the cover — in a 25-23 loss, of course.

As for the leaders, last week’s frontrunner β€œPHD SPORTS” dropped into a tie with β€œSCHEMATIC ADVANTAGE,” who rode a perfect 5-0 up the leaderboard. Interestingly they did not match on a single selection in Week 4 and both enter Week 5 with a 17-3 record. “ROSEE” sits right behind at 16-3-1 as four more lurk at 16-4.

Lines for Week 5 come out tomorrow, Wednesday, live on VSiN. And the menu gets a bit shorter as bye weeks begin and the Falcons, Broncos, Saints and Redskins catch a breather.
