The biggest percentage of bettors for a consensus pick is 81.43% for taking Green Bay over the Chicago Bears and giving only -3. This is not a surprising pick being the Packers are undefeated and at home playing a struggling bears team that is 1-3. 75.38% is the next highest consensus percentage with the home Steelers giving 6 points to the Seattle Seahawks. Apparently the consensus bettors feel the Texans are for real with the third highest percentage of 68.85% giving 5 points to the Miami Dolphins.
