Now I have heard it mentioned before. Yesterday PeeWee reminded me that I already knew of this rule. Knowing of something and understanding the reasoning though aren't always the same thing. Hopefully someone here is willing to explain what it seems only I am missing.
I capped the MNF every which way. I crossed referenced scores from the season, home and away and common opponents. This isn't eveything I do when capping but I use this to help predict a score. No matter how I did the numbers Arizona -3 was the results. Now I already liked Arizona and would normally like the -3.5 if my numbers suggested the -3 but I wasn't super confident. So I like Arizona and I definately like the under makes sense to tease the 2 right? In doing so I broke a rule about never crossing 0 in the NFL. I have heard this before but I can't grasp the concept yet. If you like a team at a field goal or less why would you not get them plus the field goal? I know why it didn't work lastnight (7 turnovers had something to do with it as well) but why is it a rule of thumb?
This isn't a Players Talk tease. I am seriously trying to learn something here.
