Week Two
With only one game played, teams are in two groups: 1-0 and 0-1 records. With these two groups you have four permutations for the potential matchups. The following table shows how teams have done against the spread since 1992.

Analysis: The only thing to note in this table is that in a meeting of teams with 0-1 records the away team (presumably the dog in most cases) has covered at a high rate. Not that this constitutes a great deal of meaningful data, but based on this table, a few teams might be worth closer scrutiny here in 2007.
Teams that qualify for this 70 % trend are :
New Orleans @ Tampa Bay
Atlanta @ Jacksonville
NYJets @ Baltimore
Kansas City @ Chicago

Now...from the remaining 5 teams
I'll eliminate Minnesota because there are strong candidates this week and someone has to go . Besides their trend as impressive as it may be , it is limited to head to head matchups
***********************************************************************
Now it gets harder ...but I must eliminate San Diego because Patriots have some excellent trends backing them up ...such as >>
Because of these stats/trends in their favor finding a trend pick that favors the opposing team will be difficult to vaidate ... However, it is my belief that with these long term trends favoring New England ...any opposing team that can match them or even better them makes for a stronger trend in itself . Such may be the case with San Diego's road and underdog trend . However, I will eliminate SD from contention ...
