consensus pick
The popular choice
A consensus pick is a selection that most people agree on, especially in sports betting or fantasy sports drafts.
When oddsmakers, analysts, or bettors overwhelmingly favor the same outcome, that choice becomes the consensus: The consensus pick for tonight's game is the home team by seven.
The term implies broad agreement rather than a controversial or contrarian choice.
