    This is from my website, I've been betting football like this for the last 6 years and it has worked for me.  I've ended a season at 70% but on average I'm usually between 55% and 65%. 
     
    https://sharkysden.com/index_014.htm
     
    also you should use a good bankroll management if you want to stay alive the whole season. 
     
    here's my bankroll management section. 
     
    https://sharkysden.com/index_009.htm
     
    this is not a cheap plug I just don't feel like retyping all the info.
     
     
    good luck I hope it works for ya.

    Sharky, if you hit 70 percent last year and can hit 55 to 65 percent every year, then you should be winning all the football contests in vegas like the hilton one.

    Dude, Thanks for chiming in.  I do pretty much the same as you state on your website except I use a four game formula.  Do you find that the 6 game is more accurate?  Also, just to add in on the injury front, I also look to see if the starting MLB is out as this can have an influence on the final score.

    I use 6 because once you cross out the highest and lowest scores for each team you end up with a solid average for 4 games.  If a team has a heavy running game I will also check out the Linebackers.  If a starting LB is out some teams might pound that hole with the running game. 

    Also to note, I know I state in the website that I don't use the running game stats but sometimes you get 2 teams that have excellent passing games. In that case I'll take a margin of the YPR because that gives me an idea of who will get more first downs.

    The best system to use is to come up with your own BS system, then sell it to people on the covers forums.

    eppy 224.......turnovers are turnovers lost but actually same thing, if turnover u lose the ball otherwise no turnover.......but anyway say  det has 5 turnovers combined in first 2 weeks and chi has 1.....det avg is 2.5 while chi is 0.5.....so Chi has 2 less turnovers per game and would be a play since the difference is more than 1.

    here is record  from last yr.......combined record of both angles no game counted twice and any conflict thrown out

    week 3.........8-2-1
    week 4........4-1
    week 5..........5-2-1
    week 6.........4-2-1
    week 7.........5-4
    week  8.........4-2
    week 9...........3-3
    week 10..........1-4
    week 11.........4-3
    week 12..........6-4
    week  13.......5-2
    week 14........4-3
    week 15........2-3
    week 16........5-4
    =============
    .................60-39...........61%

    made error , the records above  43-27  and 24-12 are correct but we lose some wins as some teams were plays in both angles so combined record is 60-38.........my bad, but still 61% on almost 100 games
    cooled down after week 8 but only one really lousy week (1-4) in week 10

    Sweet.  I forgot to ask you, do you use the last few weeks scores from the previous year to crank the power ratings up right from the start or do you wait until you have 6 games completed?

    OVER THE YEARS I TRIED 3,4,5,6 WEEK TOTALS AND I SETTLED IN ON PAST 5 WEEKS. I ALSO DO A 5 WEEK RUN WITH HOME AND AWAY STATS.  I KEEP  ORY,OPY,DRY,DPY FOR BOTH TEAMS. IF I GET A TEAM THAT IS BETTER IN ALL 4 STATS AND THEY ARE GETTING POINTS I HAVE A PLAY. I WROTE MY OWN DATA BASE PROGRAM IN 1985 AND KEEP MODIFYING IT OVER THE YEARS. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH STATS ANYMORE IS THE AMOUNT OF TURNOVERS THE LAST FEW YEARS. THEY JUST KILL A GOOD PLAY. I GOT BEAT TWICE BY THE RADIERS WHO HAD LESS THEN A 100 YDS TOTAL FOR THE GAME AND STILL COVERED.  I WAIT 3 WEEKS BEFORE I DUE MY NORMAL BETTING. SEE YOU THIS FALL.

    Best system I could find is this....

    Bet on the team that scores more points.  I'm not sure about the percentages, but I did alright with it last year.

    I use the last 6 games of the previous season, but I don't include week 17.  Because most games in the last week don't mean anything. 

    The 1st 4 weeks of the season I usually bet really light, sometimes I just do some cheap parlays just for the action.  In week 5 I start picking out my best 3 games.
