[FONT=open_sansregular]After three weeks of the NFL season, there are still four teams with perfect records against the spread. This group includes defending Super Bowl champion Broncos, upstart Eagles, Vikings and Patriots.[/FONT]
[FONT=open_sansregular]Conversely, just one team remains winless against the spread entering Week 4. The scuffling Bears fell to 0-3 ATS after losing in Dallas 31-17 as a 6.5-point road underdog. Bettors know all streaks come to an end at some point; will this be the week? Chicago is installed as a 3.5-point home 'dawgagainst the Lions this week. That might be worth a look as underdogs in general have done well so far this season.

DOG ARE WINNING MORE THAN FAV THIS YEAR 26-22

points that matter in a game 7 this year out of 48 games. IT ALWAYS IS AROUND 16% over the last 20 years

About points that matter

It isn't the points that matter, its the line and the points that matter frequency:



1129 dogs lose but cover in 6510 games: 17.3% points matter



However it is relative to the line:



LINE % points matter

1.5 2.2

2 2.6

2.5 6.1

3 4.9

3.5 15.0

4 14.3

4.5 19.2

5 14.7

5.5 21.0

6 17.1

6.5 22.6

7 22.6

7.5 30.8

8 31.1

8.5 30.1

9 31.0

9.5 31.4

10 28.8

10.5 37.3

11 28.8

11.5 32.0

12 30.9

12.5 43.5

13 32.8

13.5 32.9

14 28.4

>14 49.2



AVG 17.3 but as you can see it is the line that matters, not the points that matter.

There are more upsets with lower dog lines, so the points that matter are smaller, but when the line goes up, there are fewer upsest, so the points matter a lot more.

So basically on an NFL week with many high dog lines, there will typically be a lot more games where the line matters, but at the same time of there are few big dogs on a given Sunday, the points that matter will be slim. Basic math says this:



Low line upsets 38% points that matter 12% = 50.0

High line upsets 18% points that matter 32% = 50.0

all lines upsets 32.7% points that matter 17.3%= 50.0

There is evidence that the home field advantage may be shrinking:



1989-2014 Home favorite -6.1 2015-present -5.4

1989-2014 Home dog +4.6 2015-present +4.1

1989-2014 All home -2.6 2015-present -2.1



NOTE:



There has been a recent -0.5 erosion in all home team lines. The jury is not conclusive as this covers just 300 total games, vs the previous 6530, or just a sample size of just 4.4%. It is something to watch going forward.

anyone think the same
