    An Interesting Stat

    A friend and I have a little wager going. Each week, one gets all the favorites and the other gets all the dogs. The loser of the previous week gets to pick. Now remember that there were a lot of games that came close to the line, and we have two that actually tied, so this stat is not set in concrete, but the fact is that if Green Bay cover tonite, we will be TIED at 95-95-2. Amazing. Talk about no difference between the favorites and the dogs. Maybe a game or two depending on what line you got. Still, unless something goes drastically different, there is going to be very little difference ATS between the favorites and the dogs.

    Disregard this post. I made a computing error. Sorry to have wasted anyone's time. I believe the favorites have won 5 more games overall.

    Wow that is a pretty neat stat. So it's pretty much the flip of a coin.

    Ya, so no clear winner, which is unfortunate
