#8Statsational NFL 2012
Week 1
Last season we got off to a great start. 6-1 in documented plays. Week 1 is typically a tough week to handicap. We base 95% of our thoughts on what happened last season. Of the 16 games this week 15 are matchups where one team had a better record than the other. In those 15 only 3 do we see the favorite as the team with the lower 2011 record. One of those is Denver who now has Peyton Manning. So we obviously base the lines on the first couple of weeks on our perceptions from the prior season. But when we look at how things play out in the NFL we know that some teams we think are strong contenders right now will be awful and teams we think will be awful will contend. Last season Jacksonville was favored over Tennessee in week 1, Cleveland was almost a TD favorite over Cincinnati, and TB was favored over Detroit. You can go back year after year and see similar trends. If you are in a survivor pool you know how hard it is to stay alive in the first week. What the system tries to do is exploit this. I look back to last years stats and prior matchups and try and find the trends that have proven successful in the first weekend. For example if you just played against playoff teams from the prior season in week 1 you would pick 56% over the last 20 years. That's about 200 games. Not bad at all. It shows how the lines are always skewed toward the teams that were good the prior season.
Week 1 Picks
1. Dallas +4...................64%
2. Washington +9..........58%
3. Denver -1...................58%
4. Arizona +3.5..............57% (Buy .5)
5. Cincinnati +6..............57%
6. Kansas City +3.5........55% (Buy .5)
7. Indianapolis +10........55% (Buy.5)
8. NY Jets -2.5..............55% (Buy .5)
9. St. Louis +8.5..............55%
10. Tampa Bay +3.........55% (Buy .5)
11. Minnesota -3............54% (Buy .5)
12. Philadelphia -8.........53%
13. Tennessee +6..........53%
14. San Diego -1...........53%
If you can not find 3.5 on the Minn game then take it at -4 but do not buy the half point down. If you can only find +2.5 on KC then buy up to 3.
Lets start the season off right.

#14Statsational NFL 2012
Week 2 Picks
KC +3..... 90%
SEA +3..... 80%
TB +7.5.. 76%
DEN +3..... 67% MNF
TEN +6..... 63%
OAK -2.5... 62%
JAX +7.5.. 61%
CAR +2.5.. 61%
DET +6.5.. 57% SNF
BAL +2.5.. 57%
NE -13.5.. 56%
GB -6..... 54% TNF
CLE +7..... 54%
IND +1..... 54%
WSH -3..... 54%
The 90% on KC is the most I have ever seen. I have a ton of trends that all favor KC here. So I fully expect KC to cover this game. That does not mean I am going to do anything silly and risk my bankroll on one game. I mention this all the time but the key to any business (and this is a business) is to stay in business. Then make a profit. You can not make a profit tomorrow if you are closing the doors to the store today. So be smart with the money management. We had an 87% game in week 16 last year that did not win. So nothing is perfect. The strength of the system is that it will find the edges on the schedule and over time pick at a high percentage. Short term we can always get some swings either positive or negative.
Once again the rule on the half point buys is only if you are getting them at 10% juice do you make the buy. A lot of places give 20% which gives us no edge. Anything over that and it becomes a negative to us. If you can get 10% then move all games on or off the 3, 7 and 10. Since a small number can actually get the 10% I am going to post the plays as they are without any point buying. You will have to use your own judgement as to whether you are buying the half points or not.

#18Yeah these 2 weeks are tough. That being said I locked in my bet already.
6.5pt Tease
Washington +3/CIN-1
I keep hearing to beware of the STL upset but im not buying. Wsh defense is pretty good and STL D looked good but i think that was more stafford having issues. Plus WSH D has been strong in the past years, and the new tools on Offense makes me like this game. IF Garcon doesnt play then it will be a tough one and STL could outright win but with +3 (ties win 5dimes) i felt good about it.
As for CIN. With hayden out i just done see this one being much of a game. AJ green should have a monster game but if he doesnt then that speedy Hawkins will have his breakout game.Comment -

Week 3 picks
1. Kansas City +9....................72%
2. Seattle +3............................71%
3. New England +3...................70%
4. Cincinnati +3........................70%
5. Arizona +3.5.........................66%

10. Pittsburgh -4.......................57%
11. Tampa Bay +7.5..................53%
Kansas City is a top play once again. After getting destroyed in Weeks 1 and 2 this looks like suicide, and perhaps it is. But remember the oddsmakers set a line and are willing to take action on either side of that game. They know they wont have any KC bets outside of Matt Cassels dad. So without a doubt they have to inflate the line. They just can not push it too high or they will be bombarded by sharp money. Sharps do not fear betting any team at any time. Squares do. No team goes 16-0 ATS and no team goes 0-16. Will KC cover? I hope so, but even if they don't it will not deter me from taking them in the future. Last year I had a lot of emails on the Colts and Miami early on in the season. Both of those teams wound up finishing pretty strong in the second half of the year ATS.Comment -

Because we had such a big week your bankroll should now be larger. My suggestion would be to use your original bankroll all season long and the winnings are put aside. In other words bet the same amount you did in week 1 per game this week. Do not get the urge to push the bet sizes. You will find yourself having a big week, like last week, and follow it up with a not so good week and be in worse shape than you were before the big week. Then you will have to bring the bet amount down and we will have another huge week. The worst week you have will be the highest you bet. It is hard to pick winners over the course of the season like we did last year and so far this year. To screw it up with poor money management is devastating.
Having a look at this weeks card we are in a similar situation as we were last week. We have the dog in 10 of the 13 games we are taking. I have gone through the games a million times making sure there are no mistakes. The numbers are coming out with another dog heavy week. What is interesting is historically favorite leaning trends are leaning toward the dogs overwhelmingly so far this season. Part of that is the inordinate amount of home underdogs we have seen so far. 39.5% of all games have seen the home team getting points. Over the course of the season, if that continued, we would have 101 games with a home dog. The largest number of home dogs we have seen in the last 20 seasons was 88 in 2007. So far this year the oddsmakers have not gotten a handle on who are the better teams. The underdogs are winning at a 60% clip. Hopefully that trend continues this week.Comment
