Default NFL Favorites of 6.5 or more are 31-6 ATS going into a bye

Just something to keep in mind this time of the year.

Makes sense too, since teams don't want to lose their last game before a bye and then think about that loss for two weeks, and bigger favorites are in a better position to avoid this.

Thanks for sharing, LT. Bye weeks can provide some good situational betting edges for sure - both going in and coming off.

Saints are only -6 now. Guess they don't qualify. What kind of time period is this trend over? 10 or 15 years? What about all the years before that? Track this trend all season and I betcha it hits about .500

Can you further break that stat down into HOME teams -6.5 VS ROAD teams -6.5 going into a BYE week ?

i'm curious as well for Home teams at -6.5 going into a bye and road favs of 6.5 going into a bye, plus how often it falls into that spread and timeframe, like how many years is that record spread over.

When you are doing your backtracking on this, are you using covers.com as your source? They only got closing lines.

Saints open at -6 and now -7. Are we supposed to look at the opening or closing line?

WinPicks software, which I believe uses Pinny closers just like Covers does.

Could we make the Twins/Tigers playoff game the first game of the MLB postseason contest? It's officially part of the regular season but it would be awfully fun to include it in the contest, what do you think?

would any team entering a bye week be a good play? I mean the motivation should be similar right?

Situation would be similar, but the bigger favorites are the better teams, so they are better equipped to get it done.

I did not have either winner today, but I "won" in the sense that I layed off the Jets, who probably would have been a play.

Yes, the Twins game will be part of contest.
