    A team’s past ATS record

    Is there any shown correlation between a team’s past ATS record and its ATS record for the rest of the year?

    In other words, if an NFL team is 7-1 ATS so far, is there any reason to think they’d be better than 4-4 ATS the rest of the year?

    ATS records are a good way of showing who was underrated or overrated by bookies earlier in the year. But wouldn’t bookies adjust their ratings so that the teams that were undervalued 4 weeks ago might not be undervalued anymore?

    No, if anything it can be bad to continue taking that side. For example, when a team ALWAYS hits the over on a total and public starts noticing, books will raise the total by a couple points over what their analytics say since they know the public will be heavy on the over next game.

    Yeah, I’ve always wondered if a team might actually become overrated by bookies after covering the spread a few times in a row. Especially if some of the covers are straight-up wins.

    Everything is factored into a line. It’s all you need to know

    You can always check for yourself. You would need to learn SDQL (not really that hard).

    IMO, more important is ats margin though I'm certain most oddsmakers already incorporate that in their ratings
