Hilton Happenings By Lynda Collins
Devils LLC went 2-3 last week and saw its lead in the Las Vegas Hilton SuperContest chopped to a single game over Maximillion and Foolish, Tormented and Blessed.
The leader has 35 1/2 points and the second-place pair 34 1/2.
BDJTW and Class Sports Service are another half-game back with 34 points, while Eaglesfans4 Stan, A.N.C. and Feral Child have 33 1/2 points apiece.
Five players are tied in fifth and two share sixth.
SuperContestants anted $1,500 per entry and pick five NFL games weekly against a pointspread that's posted on Tuesday. They get one point for a win and a half-point for a push.
The 2005 pro campaign will end on New Year's Day.
The consensus line went 8-6 to climb to 69-61-2 on the year. Outright victories by underdogs Green Bay, Minnesota and Dallas on Monday night were among the weekend's bigger surprises.
Consensus best bet Denver rolled to an easy victory over the Raiders to lift top plays to 6-4-1 on the season, including one week in which there was co-best bets.
Fifteen players had 5-0 Week 11 slates, three had 0-5 cards and 14 did not submit entries.
Among Professional Handicappers League entrants, Mike Lineback had the best week with a 5-0 and has 26 points, but the joint entry of Brian Gabrielle and Lynda Collins (3-2 last week) still paces the pack with 29 points, which is in the top 10% of the field.
Big Al McMordie was 2-3 while Big Al No. 2 was 4-1. Both have 27 points. So does Vegasvic (David Rice), who was 4-1.
Tursini Sports was 4-1 in Week 11 and Bryan Leonard was 3-2. They have 22 points apiece.
The Hilton champion will receive $303,000. Twenty contestants -- about five percent of the 505 entrants -- will cash.
