I read an interesting article a few years ago on computer models vs Vegas odds. They ranked the top computer models and Vegas odds vs actual scores. The average of all the computer models together beat the best computer model but even that was beat by Vegas odds.

If there were a Vegas top 25, it would definitely be the most accurate.
