Angle #1 Play on any Bad Team on the road that was an underdog in each of its last four games (96-64-2, 60.0% ATS): Playing this angle may take some courage as it often points you to the dregs of the league, and on the road no less! But that is precisely the point as these teams often offer great value with no novice bettors wanting any part of them, as evidenced by the excellent winning percentage over a nice sampling. This angle lost its only play when it last turned up in Week 8. Qualifier: St. Louis +14.
Angle #2 Bet against any home team coming off of five or more straight up wins (60-41, 58.8% ATS): Very
few angles epitomize our contrarian mindset as well as this one does!
Bettors love to play hot teams, especially at home, but the oddsmakers
know this and this angle looks to take advantage of teams that are
becoming overvalued. Yes, fading these teams may take some courage at
times, but check out the winning percentage of this angle over a
nice-sized sampling. This angle went 0-1 in Week 9. Qualifier: Houston
+2 at Chicago.![]()
Angle #3 Play on any team that lost its last game by 28 or more points (90-56-4, 61.6% ATS): This
angle combines two concepts, as professional teams in any sport do not
like to get embarrassed and oftentimes bounce back strong in their next
game, and also bettors tend to shy away from these teams, often leading
to added line value. This angle won its only play in Week 9. Qualifiers:
St. Louis +14 and Tennessee +7![]()

Angle #4 Play on any road underdog coming off of a road loss (131-73-5, 64.2% ATS): It
used to be that teams playing consecutive road games were great fades,
but as that angle became common knowledge, bookmakers started to adjust
the point spreads for teams playing on the road off of a road game.
Well, based on these long-term results, they may have over-adjusted the
lines, especially in the case of road underdogs, and this angle also
adds in the motivation off wanting to bounce back after a loss. This
angle won its only play in Week 9. Qualifiers: Buffalo +14 and Kansas
City +13-14 (Monday). (Wait as line is going up)![]()

Angle #5 Play on any conference road underdog coming off of a road game (164-106-5, 60.7% ATS): The
logic behind this angle is the same as the previous angle with two
exceptions, as it does not matter if the team playing its second
straight road game won or lost its previous game, and also it is
restricted to conference game only as now facing a familiar foe lessens
the travel effect since the team usually knows how to attack that foe
and what to expect on defense. This angle won its only play in Week 9.
Qualifiers: Buffalo +14 and Kansas City +13-14 (Monday).![]()

Angle #6 Play on any favorite coming off of a bye week (82-44-4, 65.1% ATS): NFL
teams that have had an extra week of preparation time have had a nice
advantage in recent years, and the added time off oftentimes has
resulted in any injured players the teams may have also having extra
recovery time, which is an added bonus. This angle went 2-0 in Week 9.
Qualifiers: New England -13 (contradiction) and San Francisco -12 (contradiction).![]()
