7-0 ATS wildcard angle

Question

The premise: offenses in rhythm, tend to stay in rhythm

The team who has scored 10 or more points in their last game (week 17) than their opponent did, has covered in the last 7 wildcard games

last year, 2 games qualified for this angle

The Colts scored 23 points in week 17, while the Chargers scored 52. The next week, in the wildcard round, the 1.5 pt underdog Chargers beat the Colts, 23-17

In week 17, Vikings scored 20 points, the Eagles scored 44 points. In their wildcard matchup, the visiting Eagles won and covered as 3 pt favs vs the Vikings, 26-14

If this trend continues, the Jets, Cowboys and Packers will cover this weekend

But were they in a situation where they did not have to play the last week?

Europa · Answer

Did they apply to Divisional Playoffs as well? Thanks!

Biscuit · Answer

No, I was only looking to see which teams had more productive offenses in week 17, regardless of whether or not they had already qualified for the playoffs

Biscuit · Answer

No that trend is only for the wildcard round.   Divisional round is entirely different. Home teams tend to cover because they have a huge rest advantage over the visitor

Europa · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Thanks! Yeah i know Divisional round tends to favor favs but not in recent years, many dogs came alive in 2nd rounds.

[/Quote]yeah, I used to keep track of who covered in the playoffs, but not in recent yearsFor a long time, if you took favorites in the Divisional round, you would probably go 4-0 or 3-1.   Worst case, you would split, going 2-2But that was then, this is now.   I haven&#x27;t seen stats for recent years, but you&#x27;re probably right, it seems dogs have been covering more in the Divisionals lately

Yavapai · Answer

the actual record of favorites in the divisional round is :

2008 season 1-3

2007 1-3, 2006 0-4, 2005 2-2, thats a run of 4-12

going back some more;

2004 3-1

2003 0-4 (6 season run of 7-17)

I know dogs have been barking and biting hard in Divisional Round in last few years. &#xD;&#xA;What side/total you play this weekend? Good luck!

All I can honesty say in my years of following &amp; gambling on football is always buck the trend! and you might get lucky and end up at 52%.But if your gonna take your shots than follow me free in the playoffs and always be goood to your girl with the winnings and by the way GOD BLESS THHE REV.

Biscuit · Answer

Good info, Yavapai

In spite of the recent trend, I'm inclined to believe that the Divisional favs --- Saints, Vikings, Colts and Chargers --- will do well this year, maybe cover in 3 of the 4 games.

We'll see what happens.....

veiledchameleon · Answer

or u can always just cap the game

Biscuit · Answer

JETS = streak is now at 8 gamesc&#x27;mon Cowboys keep that streak goin&#x27;

Biscuit · Answer

Cowboys win brings the streak to 9 I&#x27;m looking to the Packers to cover, to make it 10 in a rowAnd while the Ravens/Pats game doesn&#x27;t qualify for this angle, I&#x27;m leaning to the Pats to cover, because their recent offensive stats are a little better than the RavensIn their earlier meeting, Pats beat the Ravens 27-21Last week, Pats scored 27 points (at Texans), Ravens scored 21 (at Raiders)So, my prediction for today:  Pats 27, Ravens 21  GLTA today

7-0 ATS wildcard angle
