These stats are laughable. Like you said, you can come up with any type of stat if you're looking long enough.
There was a handicapper on one of the shows many years ago (Dr. something?) who based all his picks on this nonsense. I think he was later arrested for something.
Pete Axthelm used to use this type of nonsense on his picks when working for NBC.
I heard the Cowboys are 6-1-1 ATS if Parcells eats chicken the night before the game, but only 3-5-1 ATS when Bill eats steak.

Huh? Thus stuff means nothing and you can find winning trends on both sides of the ball ever week.
