Curious stat
i was revisiting a thought ive had before,
how do favs fare in week 17?
many road teams have something extra to play for in week 17
but does that necessarily result in a win or ats??
i only looked back as far as the 2010 season
as i always consider the most recent stats to be
much more significant than way bygone yrs
so, over the past 6 yrs (2010-2015) - based on CLOSING line only
HOME favs: 36-33-1 ats
ROAD favs: 8-17-1 ats
the ROAD favs have failed cumulatively in week 17
in 5 of the last 6rs - ats
over these past 6 seasons they went 20-7 su however!
heres the specific breakdown (su in parenthesis)
2015 - 2-3 (2-3)
2014 - 2-1 (3-0)
2013 - 2-3 (4-1)
2012 - 0-3 (1-2)
2011 - 1-4 (4-1)
2010 - 1-3-1 (6-0)

today, 7 teams r listed as ROAD favs (4 in meaningful games)
could b a totally useless stat. disregard as u wish.
but i havent been on this board since last yr and
wanted to contribute more than the common one sentence posts
