Lenses that fire

  • A closing spread a half point off a key number hands the underdog side extra backdoor- cover value that a spread sitting exactly on the key number does not.

    away side 53% on 823 graded games

  • a short turnaround degrades practice time and execution regardless of which team has the smaller relative edge; when both sides are equally short-rested there is no differential to exploit but there is a real absolute effect on combined scoring

    under side 52% on 128 graded games

  • Primetime broadcasts skew toward conservative game plans and public over-money inflates the total, so the under carries a live edge.

    under side 55% on 448 graded games

  • Primetime attention can overprice favorites, leaving value on the underdog.

    away side 55% on 448 graded games
