Somebody needs to call the Jets out on all those fake injuries that slowed down the game at critical points in the Patriots' drives. On almost every injury that resulted in an "injury timeout," the injured player played in the next play after the play where he was required to sit out. Not the first time that they've done it: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14024962/newest-craze-in-nfl-cheating-hamstring-hoax |

You could wait an entire season and not find that opportunity. So I'm just trying to make the same approach more practical I suppose in the sense that the bettor would get more opportunities to bet games by lowering the standard deviation. I may just use my handicapping for the lazy technique for tonight... went 2-0 yesterday. You're right - the >108/<88 score combo/back to back is extremely rare. Like I mentioned above, it has only happened 12 times going back to 1996! Given that there's 1,300+ games per season -- well, you do the math! Even if it does come along, your chance of winning would only be 66%-70%. I understand that the % is still high by some standards, but I don't think it would compel someone to wait around to bet the farm on it. If the standard deviation is lowered, the winning % drops significantly. |

Hell, the 85 bears lost both times ATS that year when this situation happenned twice.
I think were all going to have to see more examples that argue against what we believe we've found here. Sure: 2009 Vikings vs Saints [Playoffs]: https://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nfl/teams/pastresults/2009-2010/team6.html 2004 Colts vs Titans [Week 13]: https://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nfl/teams/pastresults/2004-2005/team13.html |

I think there's only been about 12 instances of this scenario occurring going back to 1996 (surprisingly, 4 in 2010). In this case, your win % would be about 70%. |

Your chance of winning increases from 70% to over 90% when the third game in that scenario is against an opponent that's not in the same division (e.g., Chargers vs Bengals). It doesn't seem to matter if it's a home vs a road game. |

For the NBA strategy (100+ & <90), your win percentage will be a little less than 50%. Recent example is Heats vs Hornets on 12/13. Two games prior, Heats won 104-83 & 106-84. I show about 6 other instances in the current NBA season alone.

Don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but I think that the NFL strategy that's being mentioned in this thread is far from being "undefeated." Based on my count, it's 6-16 ATS going back to 1991 (includes playoff games). A recent non-playoff example is 2008 week 14 Ravens vs Redskins, where Ravens won 24-10 against a -6 line.
Two games prior to that game: 2008 Week 13: Ravens vs Bengals, score 34-3 2008 Week 12: Ravens vs Eagles, score 36-7 https://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nfl/teams/pastresults/2008-2009/team24.html This system has been around for awhile, but the original one requires that you add another condition: that the third game is against a non-div team. Even that system is not undefeated (2-19 ATS going back to 1990). |

Does the Colt's win tonight have any effects on any other team's playoff hopes?
