"teams off a SU underdog win are just 11-23 SU and 13-20-1 ATS, including 3-13 SU and 4-12 ATS if the Over/Under total in today’s game is set at more than 41 points.

So long Vikings.

In a similar vein, teams suffer from more than a sugar rush In opening round playoff games if they managed to they beat the spread by 12 or points, going just 5-15-1 ATS when on the road during this round.

The Colts look to throw a show this Sunday.

There you have it. A look at some of the more intriguing Wild Card trends and angles surrounding this year’s card." pg2

"Stun Guns

Teams in NFL Wild Card round contests playing off a straight up season ending loss as a favorite tend to bounce back up off the carpet, going 21-11-1 ATS - including 10-3 ATS at home.

This year finds the Texans and Packers return home looking to right themselves from road favorite losses last weekend.

Division Downers

Wild card road teams have a difficult time after dueling a division opponent in their season ending finale, going 20-40-1 ATS – including 0-4 ATS last year.

Send these highwaymen out as ‘dogs of more than 3 points and the task worsens as they are 4-30 SU and 9-25 ATS.

Not a good sign for the Bengals, Colts and Vikings this week.

ATS Diabetes

Like kids in a candy store, NFL Wild Card teams playing off huge regular season wins tend to crash-and-burn in these playoff openers."

"...there are elements in the stat handicapping world that emphasize yardage and yards-per-play without emphasizing the ability to hit paydirt at the end of the drive. TD’s aren’t random things that happen at the end of drives. There is a skill involved in going the distance. In college, that’s typically linked to strong running games. In the NFL, it’s more smart passing decisions from veteran quarterbacks (NFL defenses are great at forming a brick wall against a run if they know it’s coming).

When Oklahoma runs into good teams, they often move between the 20’s without getting what one would normally expect out of those drives." State Intelligence

Another system: Teams that had 220 + yards on the ground more than their opponents, and no more than 27 extra rushing attempts, and kept the ball for at least 31 minutes, are 0-15 ATS the following week. The Niners fall into the system to...fading them

"A couple observations about this: I wouldn't include the play against game being a playoff game like the one you mentioned in 1995. You're right, the criteria fits but it should also be a regular season game. I'm assuming the reason to eliminate division games is because teams have more incentive in those games, so a playoff game would give even more incentive.

Another thing, the reason this has so few plays is also because of the 30 and 12-point limitations. Just from browsing through the years 1985-1988, if the points scored parameter was reduced to 28 instead of 30, you would add a few more wins that I saw. It wouldn't be a perfect system anymore probably, but you would produce more plays and still probably at a high win rate."

The offence cannot keep scoring so many points game after game.

On the other side of the ball is even harder. Trying to hold NFL teams to under 13 points 3 weeks in a row is a pretty tall order.

The rationale for the system: If a team performs that well for two back to back games, a letdown makes sense. Especially if they are playing a game of lesser importance.

Your goal in sports betting should not be to bet the closing line but, rather, find value earlier in the week. If the line shifts against you by the close, you are probably on the wrong side

Something to keep in mind for next week: John Fox is 7-2 ATS all-time in playoffs, including 6-1 as a dog with FIVE outright victories.

"Hey guys don't forget one of the most powerfull systems know will be in effect wk17

System is really simple and makes money year after year. Bet against any wk17 dog that has already clinched a playoff spot. The system is even better if only bet against teams that are locked in place. Ie eliminate a team who is still fighting for a bye." slapshot

LONG-LINE MOVEMENT

I keep track of what you could have bet a line in week 5 and what it is now

I look at a 6 point move in the line

here is a 6 point mover

Cinn was -7.5 over Cleveland in week 5

now its Cinn -1.5

so this tells us Cleve has got better!!!

the other big move in the line

Oak was pk in week 5.... Now its -6.5

so the two game with the biggest line move of the week

Oak

Cleve

the record for this is 18-12 60%. this can be a great tool or another view of the game

If the home team is favored less than three or getting points take the home team. If the home team is favored more than three, take the dog and stay away from 3 pt lines. I try to follow this unless it is a necessity to use three like in a contest or something like that. ... WAREAGLE
