ANYBODY here...... wanna win some money?
ONCE the game starts...a team's performance is fairly predictable.....
       *BEFORE.....who TF knows right?.............................
remember too.....only around 3-5X or so.....will the DOG cover....and NOT win the game too....
  *last 6 yrs : 3X > 3 > 3 > 4 > 4 > 3
$$    bet your strong dogs on the ML maybe.......and /or if you don't think the dog can win the game....maybe back off.....
     *don't forget on those bowl confidence pools as well......only take dogs you think can win.....
 $$$    SU bowl winners are  737-117-12 ATS since 1980   $$$2015 1H / 2H notes.....
  *one of the things we (usually)  see in these season ending games....is that a team is READY to play.....or they ARE NOT.....meaning what you see in the 2H...is much of what you saw in the 1H
       $  it might happen occasionally...esp with a great senior QB...but seldom POOF!...does a team 'find it' in--game 
before 12/25  *overall   Favorites were 7-5 ATS / 8 of 12 went OVER
        note:   only 2X did DOG cover...but not WIN the game (Ohio / NMX)
1H     Fav were 6-4-2 SU / 6-6 ATS / 6-6 OU >
2H     Fav were 9-3 SU / 8-4 ATS / 8-4 OU
12/26-12/30  *overall Fav were 10-6 ATS / 9-7 OU
      note:  only ONCE did the DOG cover and not WIN SU (Tulsa)
1H    Fav were 10-3-3 SU / 8-8 ATS / 10-6 OU
2H    Fav were 9-3-4 SU / 8-8 ATS / 5-11 OU
after 12/31  *overall Fav were 8-5 ATS / 8-5 OU
       note:  only ONCE did dog cover and not win (Clemson)
1H    Fav went 10-2-1 SU / 9-4 ATS / 7-6 OU
2H    Fav went 6-7 SU / 5-8 ATS / 9-4 OU 
from 2014 1H / 2H
< 12/25
1H   FAV 7-4 SU / 6-5 ATS
     O/U 6-5 ATS
  * only once in 4 games did fav come back to win game SU
2H   FAV 6-5 SU / ATS
     O/U 6-5
12/26 > 12/31
1H  FAV 7-10 SU / 6-11 ATS
    O/U 11-6 ATS
 * only one time in 10 games did fav come back and win SU
2H  FAV 10-7 SU / 8-9 ATS
    O/U 7-10 ATS  
> 1/1
1H  FAV 10-2 SU / 9-3 ATS
    OU 6-6 ATS
 *in 2 games fav did NOT come back to win SU
SO...only 2X in 16 games did fav come back to win SU
  *only ONCE did fav come back to cover GAME
ALSO...........
2015
What happened ......? 
If the favorite was up / tied at halftime?
  *  < 12/25            (8X)   8-0 SU / 6-2 ATS (they won every game / covered 6/8)
  *  12/25 - 12/30  (13)   11-2 SU / 10-3 ATS 
 *  > 12/31            (11)   9-2 SU / 8-3 ATS
How bout if DOG was up / tied?
  * < 12/25          (6)       3-3 ATS (onl/y once when up)
  * 12/25 -12/30  (6)      5-1 ATS (thart one tied when tied at half)
  * > 12/31           (3)      3-0 ATS 
      $$$    SO - ONLY ONE TIME...when the dog was up at halftime (9X)...did they not cover the game..... looking at the 6 ties (at half)....favorite covered usually (4/6)     
$$$$$   ONLY TWICE....did the FAV (if down at the half) come back to win the game
                     *really only ONCE did they come back and take charge the 2H....WKU.....down by only 4 tho.....won game by 10
                        other was App St was down by 10....won last minute by 2 seems like $$   How often does the team that covered 1H....cover 2H too? 
 * < 12/25                only 4X....outta 12 games
  * 12/25 - 12/30       8/16
  * > 12/25                7/13
         >>  suggesting the LATER / more meaningful games...you are more likely to see a consistent effort from one half to another
$$   If 1H is high / low scoring.....2H likely to be the same?
  * < 12/25              8/12  2H was the opposite (meaning if 1H went over > 2H went under / vice versa)
  * 12/25 -12/30      only 7/16  2H was different
  *> 12/31                8/13 2H was opposite
        >>  been my (casual) observation...that scoring usually flips from 1H > 2H.......  LY 23X / 41 games
