To do a standard Top 25 list is incredibly difficult, but we have achieved this feat once again. And though you may be a seasoned Betoclock punter who may disagree with our rankings, please remember that this is not some random opinion rather it is the judgment of our esteemed voting panel that is composed of some of the leading experts on the sport.
