About five years ago I was watching a sports show, probably on espn, and they were making predictions and mentioned a stat.
They said to pick an underdog because they were coming off a bye. I remember the stat, they said losing teams coming out of a bye week vs a winning team at home have covered the spread 48 straight times. I didn’t have to guts to tail but I continued to monitor that stat for years to come. Not religiously, but to date I don’t think I’ve ever seen it lose. It doesn’t happen often where a losing team plays a winning team at home coming out of a bye. Maybe 2-3 times a year?
anyhow, that’s my long explanation to go with Carolina this weekend.
