196.0. "Winning 60%+ in the last 8 games" by 35989::KINNEYD (All Mach, No Vector) Mon Nov 14 1994 13:36

    I recently read a lengthy article re the following:
    
    Here is a system that last year went 59-29 (67%) against the spread in
    the final 8 games of the NFL season.
    
    1. Go against any team in the second half that was 6-2 or better
    straight up in it's first 8 games
    
    2. Take any team in the second half that was 2-6 or worse straight up
    in it's first 8 games.
    
    
    Bizarre? You bet, but it worked last year. Will it work this year?
    
    
    Reasons:
    
    '... Ask yourself which teams are most likely to to be overpriced in
    November and December? A: The teams at the top of the standings will
    get the most respect from the linemakers and the public. But the
    contenders are not worried about winning big, just winning. These teams
    will get the W but play conservative late in the game and not
    cover. The teams that don't cover early will scare people away and end
    up underpriced as well. Very few teams will go 3-13 or 4-12 against the
    spread in a given season.  ...'
    
    Opinions??
    
    Dave.

	<<< Note 196.1 by SHARE::DERRY "Color me impressed..." >>> > OR you can watch for my picks in the POOL notesfile and go against > them. You're guaranteed the 60%. KD, that's been my strategy (mostly) for the Pool this year. I take your entry, and go the opposite for about 3/4 of my picks. :^) Mark.
