is a dangerous thing.
For those who think what I do is easy, or can be somewhat matched by poring over AP articles, statistics, and injury reports, I submit the ATS records of the five staff writers for the USA Today sports section, whose ATS records in 2018 are 23-47-8, 35-38-5, 27-41-10, 31-42-5, and 38-34-6, for a cumulative 154-202 ATS. The consensus top five selections in the Westgate Superbook Contest are currently 11-14 ATS, which is on pace for a showing similar to 2017 and 2016.
