8 of last 10 stayed under 45 h2h.
Solid under play for me. They like play in defence with each other and scored not more than 48 points in last 10 their games.
Same situation as first your total.

I used the method you laid for the StL - SF game to cap all the games today. The NYG-Was game produced a over/under total that was a more than 10 point variance from the Vegas line. Seems a no-brainer. So, I bet it the over.

There has been 6 (SIX) turnovers in that game. Obviously, this killed the over. Huge, clock-killing drives, capped by ints and fumbles. How do you factor in t/o's in your capping? Based on the RPI system you devised this should have worked and based on the number of times these two have been in the red-zone it should be easily over.

Lastly, the Redskins have also had 2 (TWO) touchdowns overturned by penalty - something else I am not sure you can cap for.

Just looking for some input from the master. Thanks.


You really can't. They are the great random variance that exists in this thing we do. Its well known that year to year, turnovers tend to be random in terms of their distribution. There are a few outliers, but over time, they regress to the mean.

Thanks Kaponofor3, I figured as much.

It appears this sabermaths guy is a complete asshole.

Yeah, Kap's answer is right on.  The fact is, footballs are a funky shape.  They tend to do unpredictable things when they're thrown and bounced on the ground.  Noway to really predict a turnover battle.  Best you can do is check sack and interception rates to see if a team is prone to a disadvantage.  Whether it actually plays out in the real world is impossible to reasonably predict.  It pretty much boils down to dumb luck in the long run.

The public has not figured out the Steelers are no longer the Steelers.
Cannot run it and cannot play D.
Strong lean here to the over.

Both teams are very confident in their defence.
No way this game goes Over

I'm sure with the amount of money that the Bills spent that they're 'confident in their defense'.  Some good confidence does you if you suck.

inevitable line movement.  Definitely not unexpected as the fair value for this total is much higher than 45... 46.5....48...

I doubt it gets too much higher if anything, you might catch a better line if you wait.  I still like it at that number, obviously the lower the better though.

Seriously man - no disrespect, but Sil1y works hard on his picks and analysis.  His forums educate other handicappers so either take the time to read it then post intelligent questions or dont post at all.  He clearly gave his pick many times and even his reasoning.
