Always fade ESPN, especially when Sagarin believes otherwise. (remember Yankees/Red Sox in the playoffs this year)

ESPN has probably done a fine job in the NFL this year. I'm definitely NOT arguing that you should follow ESPN - but bringing up 1 example where they were wrong is pretty weak.

A better argument is:

USUALLY fade ESPN because this is what the general public listens to. The general public is not as smart as the bookies, and thus they tend to lose more often than not. "Sharps" in general fade the public, but a true sharp is able to objectively pick the right side regardless of how the public feels.
