    6 Dog SU Winners
    0 Dog covers by spread
    ———————————

    For the year:
    35 Favorite covers
    28 Dog SU winners
    9 Dog covers – due to spread.

    5 WEEKS in!! -Only in 9 games – has the spread been a factor in the result!

    **Since the points are wasted in 5/6 games: Should you rarely bet money-line on favorites?


    ****So if you can just pick the SU winner– you win 5/6 NFL games******
    Questions:
    Since the points are wasted in 5/6 games: Should you mostly bet money-line if you like the dog?
    Since the points are wasted in 5/6 games: Should you rarely bet money-line on favorites?
    Is all the “line-value” talk over-rated? Only 8/60 games covered within 3 points of the line–
    Teasers not smart either
    This is not good for the bookies. They get action on favorite spread and underdog moneyline mostly. That means they are probably having a bad NFL season.

    It is my opinion that moneyline favorites will be winning this week with few upsets against the moneyline.

    Don't be so hard on yourself.

    Of the 7 games playing, the ML favorite is winning 5 of them. GB and Balt are losing, but Rogers broke a collarbone.

    For Week 6, including Thursday night's game, there have been 2 favorites that won and covered the spread.

    There have been 10 underdogs covering the number against the close with 8 of them winning outright.

    There have been 7 Overs and 5 Unders against the close.
