    I had an idea last year to chase the over for the 3 prime time NFL games, thurs, sun., monday...Dan's prime time thread reminded me of it but I didn't really re-visit it.

    Anyway...I was on the under for the Pit/Balt. game last night..The loss made me take a look at it again..



    So far this year (using covers closing lines)..


    Thurs. night games the over is 7-1

    Sun. night is 7-1

    Mon. 6-3 (2 monday night games week 1.)

    20-5.

    Just something to think about. Prime time games like to go over.

    (As far as my 'system' goes..there was a loss early on last year. 8-0 so far this year...I haven't back tested it any further..But why chase when the overs are hitting.)

    For the record, when I say the system is 8-0 so far this year..I'm not actually betting it. 

    I just figured with the overs hitting at such a high %, there's something to look at or maybe someone smarter than me can turn it into a system.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I've got a good system that could be applied to this, flat betting or even a labby line.
    how do the overs look for previous years?

    In 2012 (if you did a primetime over chase) weeks 7 and 10 would have been 2 system losses.

    In 2013 week 2 would have been a loss.


    It'd be nice to have 10 yrs of backtesting to look at. And even then, going forward, 3 pretty random games all going under isn't exactly a surprise.

    But like I said if someone wants to fiddle with the idea..Cheers.

    Edit: In 2012 week 2..U- P - U...That'd be a loss, just not as expensive.

    If you kept chasing into week 3 it would have hit on the 3rd bet after the push...Whateva.

    I'm going to keep tracking this just because..

    With the Chi/GB over the 3 game chase would be 9-0.

    It'd be 10-0...Not sure why I was saying 8-0 if it was week 9 last week.

    So it was 12-0..Would have been up 12 units..A loss would cost..what..7.7 units?

    Anyway I'm done with it...Someone might come up with some parameters..The o/u has to be so many points, or avoid certain teams. Idk.
