    "Never bet the team who played great Monday Night the following Sunday"

    Cowherd yesterday, said an old sharp of his gave him advice when he was living in Vegas 20 years ago that stuck; If a team plays great Monday Night, rarely is it followed up the following Sunday with a good game. (See San Francisco week 1 & 2). So this would apply to the Jets this Sunday.

    By all means I think this is a load of crap; but thought some may like

    2014 Season

    Listing the team that "played great Monday night" followed by their performance the following week. If I list no one, it's because I don't believe either team played particularly well that Monday.


    Week 1
    Detroit: lose 24-7 @carolina


    Week 2 & 3
    No one


    Week 4
    Chiefs: lose 22-17 @sf


    Week 5
    Seahawks: lose 30-23 @home against the Cowboys. Wilson's first loss at the clink


    Week 6
    49ers: lose 42-17 @denver


    Week 7 & 8
    No one, unless you count Washington beating Dallas @dallas by three points with McCoy as qb. If you do, Washington lost the next week.


    Week 9
    Colts: bye in week 10


    Week 10
    Eagles: lose 53-20 @gb


    Week 11
    No one


    Week 12
    Bills: win 26-10 @home against Cleveland
    *not sure if this sound count, as the Monday game was never supposed to be a Monday game. Rescheduled due to weather, played in Detroit.


    Week 13 & 14
    No one


    Week 15
    Saints: lose 30-14 @home against Atlanta


    Week 16
    Bengals (sort of): lose 27-17 @pitt





    Tl;dr - only one team that "played great" the previous Monday night won, and that one was the Bills/Jets' relocated game. I'm fairly certain that all those losses also did not cover, but I'm too lazy to verify that.

    Tomlin would screw up any chance, just wait and see.
