    I don't see how KC can be no.1 in any PR. Point margin is a better indicator then record, the only thing KC is good at is record.

    Ave per pass margin is 6.7- 6.5 = .2 how can that be a no. 1 team ?

    Mahomes Passer Rating is 89, league ave is 91. A below league ave Passer is no. 1 ?

    I think he is giving KC to much credit for past success not how they have done this season.

I am not a fundamental handicapper, but I did uncover these nuggets which might put me on NO: There has been a lot of chatter about how good KC's DEF is this year and that it compensates for a weaker-than-usual OFF.  Comparing the passing DEF stats from NFL.com, sorting the team passing DEF stats by rating puts NO #1 at 68.0 and KC #21 at 94.2.  That is a huge gap. Mahomes is missing some weapons this year and it shows.  Checking out Mahomes at Pro Football Reference, I was surprised to see that he is the all-time career leader at PY/game with a whopping 293.3!  He is averaging just 226.0 this season with 6 TDs and 5 INTs. Good luck everybody.

     

    Yes that is a small margin, they never mentioned that.

    Here's another trend dog that will blow your mind talking about KC's defense.

    Saints QB Carr when playing a defense gives up 18 pts or fewer is 5th best ATS all-time only behind Brady, Bress, P.Manning I forget the 4th

    But when he plays weaker defenses he has a poor losing ATS record.

    All the guys I follow are on NO, when I have no info to fade them or when I have at least some information on the same team those games do pretty well.

    I would lean NO before I listen to anyone else. The trends I posted on the game came after I was already leaning NO.  They made my lean even stronger.

    Hopefully it works out here on Saints game.

    Couple more interesting trends I saw online.

    Teams lost by 17 pts or more playing a team won by 17 pts or more.

    Team that lost won 60% ATS........play on Zona

    Teams lost by 28 pts or more and are +4 or better, 62% ATS over 20 years........play on Zona

     

    Some nice regression angles. What I like to do is take these basic regression angles, do some research and make them more selective by adding in other info and hopefully make them better.

    I don't really like regression angles based on 1 game. But it can be useful info when supporting other info one might have on playing Zona.

    They should.  Do you know how your Week 1 superstars do coming off two losses?  Unfortunately I bet the sample size is small.

    I like your plays, Commandos + Pats are the only 2 teams to allow opponents over 50% 3rd down conversions 

    as far as the Chiefs, they are very average in some ways.    Their opponents have run total 6 more offensive plays this season, and yards per play is also virtually identical.    Chiefs gain an average 3 inches more per play lol.    Chiefs are also -4 in turnovers this season so far

    I Looked at turnover differential of SB winners since 2010.    Most are in the plus category, unless they had an unusually strong defense (broncos) or offense (recent Chiefs teams)

     

    SB WINNERS TURNOVERS DIFFERENTIAL

    2010 GBY +10

    2011 NYG  +7

    2012 BAL  +9

    2013 SEA +20

    2014 NEP +12

    2015 DEN  -4

    2016 NEP +12

    2017 PHI  +11

    2018 NEP +10

    2019 KCC  +8

    2020 TBY +8

    2021 LAR  +2

    2022 KCC  -3

    2023 KCC -11

    I don’t think this years chiefs team is good enough to overcome problems with giving the ball away too much.    Along with the fact that they’ve played an extra season (16 playoff games) over the past 5 years, and recent injuries, I think it’d be better to play against them.    They’re currently 3-1 ATS, I wouldn’t be surprised if they go 5-8 the rest of the season.

    @DogbiteWilliams

     Only thing is Deshaun watson is so bad and has not run the browns

    offense with the smooth efficiency he used to run the texans with.

    Their offense without a consistent running game has been a complete

    embarassment. Not saying they can't make this an ugly game and

    their defense can't take over but commanders have looked great

    the last 2 weeks and it would kind of be a waste if they didn't get

    the win at home. 

    Success is never final, failure is never fatal, and it's the courage that counts.

    All true.  Another CLV negative:  While I am not a fundamental handicapper, I did look at CLV's depth chart at ESPN.  CLV does not have a MLB active for the WAS game, so some guy will have to play at an unfamiliar position, not good facing an excellent QB.

    Two positives for CLV:  Jerome Ford's career average is only 4.1 YPRA, but this season it's 5.2, right up in Nick Chubb territory.  WAS is ranked only #30 in DEF DVOA, which means they are capable of making Watson look good.

    Yep KC is not very good right now.

    Last season when they were -11 TO'S they did right the ship before  playoffs started. The receivers were mostly responsible for TO and drops. They gave Rice more playing time al8ng with other adjustments that did work down the stretch.

    So yea -11 in TO'S is not SB calibre play.

    If you look at those teams most were +7 or better. 

    For KC to 3peat they need to turn many things around. Plenty of time for them but I doubt they do it.

    No doubt that is a concern.

    He looks pretty bad but when regression calls things just tend to workout.

    To me it's  about Wash regressing, has nothing to do with Browns. When we are talking about Wash obviously we are talking the offense regressing. The defense can't get much worse. When the QB completes the highest % ever at this point  you have to know that is not sustainable. Unless you think he be the greatest of all-time.

    If you look at any 4 game stretch not just over the 1st 4 games very likely it has been done many times. Players can have very strong moments over 4 games, it can't be sustained though.

    pretty good if they are off a 10 win or more season the year before which the Saints are not. 9-8.

    They are better off 3 ATS losses but many teams are as well.

    But not many teams get to that 3rd ATS loss because they cover after 2.

    9ers already did it off 2 ATS losses when they crushed the Pats.

    Steelers could be in that spot next week. Most likely I'd  back them if the lose ATS VS Boys this week.

    What intrigues me about the Saints in this spot is the new coach, with his pedigree very likely a very good offensive mind and the players have already commented on him putting them in position to be successful.

    That new coach might carry as much weight as coming off a 10 win season, they only needed 1 more win and he is likely worth that and more.

    Other system .........4-2 ATS

    Boys +3 (-115) over Pitt

    Only.play this week. This could be Pro's VS Joe's game with Pro's on Pitt .

    We'll  see if the system can continue with winning weeks backing the Joe's.

    This query favors NO, so I acted.

    AD and 2.2 < line < 8.7 and op:INT > 0.5 and n:HF and wins < o:wins and NDIV and n:DIV

    Away Dog, +2.5 to +8.5, opposing team's QB threw at least 1 INT in the previous game, NO will be a Home Favorite in the next game, NO has fewer wins than KC this season, this is a Non-DIV game, NO's next game will be a DIV game

    ATS:  73-39-1 (3.6, 65.2%)

    Good luck everybody.

I do have a query that favors SF, so I passed on the game.

     

    Interesting you get different numbers, one reason I don't totally trust those. Andvthey never mention the margin of covering.

    Not worth a play.

    What I'd  do is look that up and add more to it make it very selective based on past results . Something there to work with i think.

     

    I like 9ers myself but will pass on game.

    9ers being a week 1 top 3 biggest performer off a 10 win season. And 1-2 ATS since week 2. These teams don't finish with losing ATS records.

What I like to do is take these basic regression angles, do some research and make them more selective by adding in other info and hopefully make them better.

    Very nice dog. 

    I see this game as a good barometer of who the Saints will be this season. Will they live up to my top 3 week 1 biggest performers  of the past or fade away after their big win.

    Off 2 SU & ATS losses which I think is somewhat understandable after blowing out 2 opps and being with a new coach.

    But they need to settle down and play good ball and be in this game with a chance to win SU.

    If they can I think they likely make playoffs but if they  don't  I won't like them too much going forward.
