Fade or Follow Podcast: SuperContestants looking to rally in Sunday’s Week 12 NFL games

Many who are competing in the world’s largest pro football handicapping contest -- the SuperContest at the Westgate SuperBook -- do not have a lot to be thankful for right now following a brutal Thanksgiving that saw the day’s three most popular sides all fail to cover the spread.
Many who are competing in the world’s largest pro football handicapping contest -- the [SuperContest](https://www.westgateresorts.com/hotels/nevada/las-vegas/westgate-las-vegas-resort-casino/casino/supercontest/) at the Westgate SuperBook -- do not have a lot to be thankful for right now following a brutal Thanksgiving that saw the day’s three most popular sides all fail to cover the spread.
The Detroit Lions (+3), Washington Redskins (+7) and Atlanta Falcons (+13) each came up short as underdogs on Thursday to kick off Week 12 NFL action, although none of them were selected enough to be [top-5 consensus picks](http://footballcontest.com/2018-supercontest-week-12-consensus-nfl-picks/).
Still, the Lions, Redskins, Falcons and their opponents were chosen a combined 2,409 times among the record 3,123 entrants who are making five NFL picks each week. If you do the math, that leaves 13,206 other selections to round out their cards.
This week’s most popular play is the New England Patriots (-9.5) visiting the New York Jets, as the defending AFC champions were picked 1,007 times. Count [BetChicago Frank](https://fantasysupercontest.com/team/13903/bet-chicago-frank) as one of them after he rebounded from just his third losing mark by going 3-2 in Week 11. Frank is currently tied for 68th place with 35.5 points (35-19-1).
[Owen from Iowa](https://fantasysupercontest.com/team/13904/bet-chicago-owen) won a free entry into the SuperContest right here at [BetChicago.com](https://www.betchicago.com) and went on an incredible 17-3 run between Weeks 7 and 10. Unfortunately for Owen, he proceeded to go 0-5 in Week 11 and finds himself with six straight losers after taking Atlanta on Thursday night.
Owen is on opposite sides of two of the [top-5 picks](http://footballcontest.com/2018-supercontest-week-12-consensus-nfl-picks/) in Week 12 with the Seattle Seahawks (+3.5) and Denver Broncos (+3), but he is also riding one of them in the Green Bay Packers (+3.5), who were selected 720 times.
