Need Stat: Home Dogs in Playoffs?

[HedgeHog]

I recall home dogs hitting better than 60% ATS in the NFL playoffs. Can someone help me out with the actual stats? Naturally I am looking at the JV/Pitt game for an angle. Thanks in advance.

good luck in that game, because the Jags have beaten the Steelers 5 times straight. They sure have their number.

I like the Jags, too, but might hedge my futures with a tease involving Pitt +7.5. Still interested in how home puppies fare in post-season if anyone has the info.

Based on covers.com data and excluding Super Bowls:

Since the 1985/86 season, home dogs have gone 9-7 ATS, while all dogs have gone 106-94 ATS (that's 53% with a standard error of 3.55%).

Thanks, Ganch.

Jacksonville should win fairly easy. I don't see this home dog pulling off an upset.

Home Dogs have always been a solid way to stay in the game and the ones on national tv are even better.
