    LT and curious blow out experiment

    I posted a theory last week that if a team blows out their opponent in one week, they should win the next week. LT Profits ran some analysis and narrowed it down to home teams that blow out their opponent in one week should win if they are a favorite at home the next week.

    LT found two plays that match the theory for this week:

    Kansas
    GA Tech

    I said I would bet according to the theory and see what happens, so I bet:
    Kansas -25 1/2 $660 to win $600
    Ga Tech -6 1/2 $440 to win $400

    We'll see what happens.

    I really think GT is for real...I think they beat BC by at least a TD.

    I first said any team that scores more than 50 points, and wins! I remember that Miami Dolphins game where they scored 63 points and lost. LOL

    But, LT Profits, who is the one who did the analysis, said to use a team that scored 50 points more than the opponent. OUCH!!

    So, that is what we used. A team that won by 50 points or more.

    LT then refined it to be a home team that won by 50 points or more and their next game they are a favorite at home.
