This is historical data of how teams play AFTER their bye week. If you want to know how teams do BEFORE their bye week chime in, I will do another segment. Nonetheless, I see nothing but inaccurate info regarding the infamous "bye week" more often how teams think they should perform AFTER their bye week. Further...regarding any trend, system or whatever, streaks happen. Yes, it is good to be on them when they happen, ride, ride, ride, but the key is to know that everything will regress. That is anything will eventually come to an end. That is the problem. One does not know how a streak performs before the streak!

You have the info.. as you can see "the infamous bye-week" is BS overall. However there are particular situations one can play. Noted above...play on a AFC team after their bye vs. a NFC team or a road favorite after their bye.
Put this in your back pocket...
