    Play on a home dog of 3 or less points, off a SU away dog win versus an opponent off a SU win. System is 18-4 ATS.

    Giants would be the play

    This system is to play on all home dogs off a SU away win, versus an opponent off a SU home win. These ferocious home dogs are 57-18 ATS in the past 10 years. This simple little system cranks out winners at a rate of 76%.

    Giants would be the play

    What do you think bro?

    I featured the contrarian play last week >>
    This angle is essentially  " Fade the Public"  theory >>>
     
  • Contrarian Betting - back the teams that are not getting bet in the thinking that the linemakers are smart and either laying a trap for the public, happy to take a stand on the game, as they wouldn't willingly accept exposure on a matchup if they didn't feel they had the "right side."
  • according to two minute warning ...based on 2005 year numbers only ...(not much statistical data to draw from ..) and a year of the favorite ...taking a side that draws less than 20 % of the action will be profitable .

    As for what day of the week has the most meaningful numbers, they don't have any hard research.

    However last season the teams with less than 20% of the bets on Tuesday fared very well against the spread.

    On Week 4 , based on Tuesday's percentages the team with the highest percentage of backing is :

    Houston ( the play would be on Atlanta )

    next in line were GB ( play on Minnesota )

     and Pitssburgh ( play on Arizona )

    NY Jets (1-2, 1-1-1) at Buffalo Bills (0-3, 1-2)
     
    Buffalo Bills  are 8-1 ATS as Home Dogs vs NY .
     However,
    NY  Jets are  9-4-1 ATS  as Road favs overall.
     
     Bills are 12-2 ATS off a SU division loss
     
     Bills are 11-1 ATS after playing New England since 1999

    Buffalo is 5-2 ATS vs NY Jets
    NY Jets are 3-9-1 ATS when facing teams that are under .500. 

     Home Team is 7-2 SU in this matchup
    Jets are 5-1 ATS as a favorite under Eric Mangini.
    Bills are 9-4 ATS as a dog under Dick Jauron.
     
     
    Had I gone with the SINGLE biggest trend out there
    Buffalo may have been the choice ...

    Analysis: the simulations show a very high confidence value in Kansas City covering the large spread this week. While three games doesn't provide the sample you would ideally want, we have found the UPM to be predictive this early (and in fact, it's been an excellent week two predictor).

    Favor: Kansas City +11.5


    This two punch combination maybe should have helped Kansas City take the underdog trend pick of the week ...

    this information was at least out there........

    New England Patriots (3-0, 3-0) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-2, 1-1-1)

    Cincinnati would appear to have faint hope when it hosts New England, the hottest team on Planet NFL.

    However, the Bengals have 'covered' six of eight as dogs of six points or more and the Patriots are a dismal 4-17 ATS when playing their second road game of the season.

     New England is 13-2 ATS off back-to-back SU wins and 20-5-1 ATS after allowing 10 points or less.

    The Pats are also 9-1 ATS off a double-digit division win. Cincinnati is 15-32 ATS at home in September.

    The Bengals have failed to 'cover' seven of eight versus non-division opponents when playing on Monday.

    am now  looking at the Under on MNF though as history is on the side of the under ....with no MNF matchups going over when the line is set @ above 52 since 1996 ( 3 unders )
    and no overs have been registered since 1996 for either club when the total has been set at >= 52 since 1996 ( 5 unders combined )
    The Under seems to be the right play ....
    Line is climbing as well...which I love to see
