Some say it doesn't work in the present day, but I still use it as part of my handicapping. If I like a game and I see 70% or more of the public on the other side, it makes me like my pick even more.
I don't even watch college ball, but I do well fading the public in bowl games so I think there is some value keeping track of what the public does.
NFL Week 1
NO@ATL 78% on NO (Fading)
MIN@STL 80% on MIN (Fading)
NE@MIA 78% on NE (Fading)
IND@DEN 70% on DEN (Fading)
BUF@CHI 79% on CHI (no play for me)
Thoughts?
