Question about evaluating the "strength" of a trend...

Do you guys ever look at the "avg line, avg total" and compare that to the stat breakdowns of "Team, Opp"? So, for instance, in the trend above:

p:AL and A and season=2013 and line<=8 and division!=o:division and p:line<2

We see:

ATS: 42-22-0 (0.37, 65.6%) avg line: -0.2

And then we see:

FG Pct FT Pct 3s Pct BLKS O-RBND RBND Fouls AST TOvers Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final
Team 37.03 44.9 19.52 77.0 7.91 36.1 4.16 11.12 42.98 21.41 21.45 13.86 25.2 25.6 24.7 24.8 101.5
Opp 37.25 44.8 18.67 76.6 7.70 35.3 4.06 10.91 42.92 21.48 21.81 14.48 25.8 25.1 24.8 24.0 100.9

What I'm thinking is that for the game tonight with a 4.5-pt spread, the average results don't line up with the percentages. If the games are averaging a 1-pt finish, wouldn't that suggest an underdog cover, rather than the other way around? Should we be filtering favorites & underdogs into separate trends? I'm wondering how the positive & negative numbers might be skewing results - we're looking at favorites/underdogs, not actual integers.

Use additional filters or modify the existing ones within the query to specifics of the game in question.
Take a look at the KS trend I posted earlier today.
Then see JMon's reply. He had already saved this trend with a slight modification negating the play.
I put the gun back in the holster.
Good luck.

I see your point here, but you have to understand one thing - the 'average' as such is not the same as 'most of the games', it can be pretty far from that.

It seems that the third situation was eliminated because of the line movement, but it suggested that we fade Hawks tonight. Hit rate was above 70%
2-0 on the second.
