Stoney is at a loss when it comes to predicting the Detroit Lions’ performance in betting this season.

Despite Detroit’s 0-7 record, they managed to secure a cover in their 28-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, thanks to the efforts of Matthew Stafford. Hopefully, unlike the experts, you didn’t underestimate our local NFL team.

All four selections from Detroit News, four from Detroit Free Press, the two radio hosts we monitor weekly, as well as Stoney’s Circa Millions picks, all opposed Detroit.

Everything went downwards.

It is hoped that this time, a larger portion of the Michigan sports betting public chose not to support these individuals.

Stoney goes 3-2 in Circa Las Vegas Millions Contest

Last week, we informed you about the remarkable pace at which Mike Stone, the morning show host of 971 The Ticket, has been handicapping during the early stages of the NFL season.

Despite the slight wobbling of the wheels, Stoney is managing to stay afloat.

During Week 7 of the contest, Stoney’s record was 3-2. He successfully predicted the Patriots would win by 7 points, the Raiders by 3 points, and the Colts to cover with a 4-point advantage. However, his predictions for the Rams to cover by 15 points and the Panthers to lose by 3 points were incorrect. Stoney deviated from his own rule of not choosing games involving the Lions, as he had a negative experience with Detroit’s cover in the past.

With a current record of 26-8-1 this season, there is a possibility that he might not remain in the Top 10 for the season. Stoney, who was previously tied for ninth place out of over 4,000 participants, will be heading into Week 7.

Stone achieved a tie for first place in the initial quarter pole contest, boasting an impressive record of 18 wins and only 2 losses over the course of the initial four weeks. This outstanding performance resulted in Stone winning a substantial amount exceeding $49,000.

Nevertheless, we do not consistently monitor Stoney’s selections for the weekly Wiseguys segment since they are not made public until the weekend, thereby limiting their usefulness for following purposes.

Mixed bag for the rest of the Week 7 Wiseguys

The Wiseguys we have been monitoring had a fairly good week overall.

The ups and downs:

  • James Hawkins and Bob Wojnowski finished with identical 8-5 records in their Detroit News picks. Despite this, Wojo managed to maintain his season-long lead on the leaderboard.
  • Despite all four Detroit Free Press pickers predicting a blowout win for the Rams and confidently choosing them, they were proven wrong as the team failed to cover the game-time line of 16.5 points.
  • This week, Mike Valenti achieved a 3-2 record, whereas his radio partner Rico Beard had a 2-3 record. They both experienced victories with the Bengals and Colts, but faced defeats with the Chiefs and Rams. The difference arose when Valenti chose his Giants, while Beard went with the Panthers.
