It is an outsourced pick, previous called a competitor consensus, but renamed to more accurately reflect the parameters. If we have a lean one way and one of the few sports services or sources we respect has a big pick on a certain side or if we are neutral on a pick, but at least two elite sources or contacts have a bet sans any conflicting bets from said sources, it is a bet for us as an outsourced pick.

One of the sharpest minds I trade intel with definitely has a bias towards the SEC, yet here he is fading them. In fact he will fade the SEC one more time before postseason is out. We will almost certainly ride it as we agree and will pass along his bullet points once we complete picks.
