The biggest field in the history of the LVH’s NFL SuperContest put together one of the most forgettable collective performances the event has ever seen.
In Week 1, only three of 1,034 contest participants went a perfect 5-0, which is well below what you’d expect. As WagerMinds noted, a field this large would be expected to produce 32 perfect entries even if picking games at random.
Consensus plays went a combined 0-4-1 ATS, and the overall contest record was 1,766-2986, a win rate of just 37.2 percent. (Two people failed to submit their picks, which might be an even bigger failure.)
How’d our BettingTalk entry perform? Well, we mostly sucked.
Here was our Week 1 card:
- Chiefs -4 over Jaguars – WIN
- Bengals +3 over Bears – PUSH
- 49ers -4.5 over Packers – WIN
- Giants +3.5 over Cowboys – LOSS
- Texans -4 over Chargers – LOSS
For those interested in following along, we’ll try to provide our contest plays every Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. If you have an easy winner you’d like to share, email us at [email protected].
We’ll need all the help we can get.
