4-12 ATS Eagles
5-11 ATS, Oakland, Kansas City,
5-10-1 ATS, Detroit
6-10 ATS, Dallas and Tennesse
Lots of Parity last year. A lot of teams were in between 6 and 9 wins ATS. The Colts and Redskins obviously beat expectations last year. Seattle and Denver lived up to the hype. Jeff Fisher kept the Rams close in enough games to go 11-5 ATS for a team many didn't predict much from.
The Eagles were a big flop. Oakland and the Chiefs lived up to their crappy expectations. Dallas was another disappointment. Detroit was an example of an offensive team that got more credit than they deserves because everybody knows they can score points.
I made good money last year playing the Rams and fading the Eagles. I knew Philly and Pittsburgh were going to disappoint.
