Having Trouble Finding a Pretty Simple Stat

Anyone know where I can find the record of NFL home teams ATS last year?

that only had it through week 9, but don't worry about it. i found record through week 11 in a bill simmons article, and just did the rest on my own. for those of you who were wondering, last year's home teams were 111-136 ATS.

Pretty amazing. Road teams covering 55%. How far off the norm is that?

since 1999, home teams are 1179-1234 ATS (ties excluded from record). here is a breakdown of the last few years:

2008: 111-136
2007: 126-121
2006: 122-126
2005: 123-123
2004: 114-132
2003: 115-117
2002: 122-125
2001: 119-112
2000: 110-128
1999: 118-114

That's about 51% ATS for road teams in the long run. So last season was way off.

51%? Sounds great if you can do that forward, and bet it at matchbook...

Sounds great. Sounds dangerous too (given a 4% fluctuation for the whole of last season).
