NFL Week 2 Poll

[NoChance]

I'm getting this post up early this week. Lines are as of Monday night.

*There was a different thread up that I had Tech delete in order to add a "no bet" option for each game. For those who already voted, please do so again. Also, do your best to pick as many of the games as possible unless you are truely undecided. The results will be better.

Bumping this up so it does not get buried.

So far there are zero games with a 70% edge to one team. Last week we had five of those games (not counting New England because that went up after the game was complete) and we would have gone 2-3 as a group winning only with Cincinnati and Indianapolis, but losing with St Louis, Denver, and Philadelphia. I think people are already getting smarter or the lines are better this week.

There are plenty of games with a 70% edge among those actually betting; it's the inclusion of the "no bet" option that makes a difference between this week and last. For example, the Washington-Dallas game is currently 13-2 among those betting, a huge disparity.

You probably already tallied this NoChance, but since I was curious, I thought I'd share the poll's success in week 1. On bets with a greater than 60% concensus, the poll came out 4-5, and on bets with a greater than 70%, the poll came out 3-3. A slow start, but that's democracy for you.

The New England game doesn't count. Most of those votes came in on Friday and Saturday, after the game was complete. At gametime, it was pretty close to 50/50.

Wow, just like a real democracy. Cool.

There are currently six teams picked greater than 70%.

Six other teams are between 60% and 70%.
