Anyways he said That in the NFL Over the past 5 years, the team that wins the game outright has covered the spread 86% of the time!!!! Is that really true? 86% of the time That would mean the dog rarely covers and loses Mindboggling

In the NFL, for example, the favorite wins and covers, or the underdog wins outright, over 80 percent of the time. In less than one of every five games does the favorite win but fail to cover... Gear your research towards trying to determine which factors govern the winning of games." - Andrew Iskoe Owner, Logical Approach This is from a sports handicapping book and its a fact. Just have to find the winner!!!
