I am shocked at how many favorites are being picked this week.
The only road teams I took were Atlanta, Carolina & Houston.

You shouldn't be suprised that mostly favorites get picked. Maybe NoChance has a number on this one. Most of those voting are squares. The principal square kneejerk is picking favorite when given a pointspread line.

I took San Diego on the road, but I'm not playing it very heavy at all. I'm playing Carolina pretty heavy on the road though. Otherwise I'm feasting on all of the home dogs.

Yeah, I'd expect it from the general population but not from the voters here.

I actually think *many* of the favorites have good value this week.

Looks like the home dogs went 1-6-1 (threw Minnesota out as they ended up being a favortie.

I think a vast majority of the 2+2 sports betting forum readers are "the general public".

There's a vocal minority who are the frequent posters, who might frequently go against conventional wisdom. But its no surprise to me that our polls tend to generally mirror larger public polls / distributions.
