We are 3-1 with supplemental rotation playoff picks from Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com. Yes, these exploit the same metrics that have made Duffy widely accepted as the industry standard and top sports handicapper in history.
When a math total has a large enough difference to the posted total, we use the oddsmakers knowledge against them. Because we store each over and under differently in each sport, the over and under angles will have different records, but in reality one could combine them for an overall record. The under version goes under at a rate of 834-507. A somewhat similar angle is 43-19 though obviously with much tighter parameters.
Fading home teams off bad offensive efforts is 256-167-14. Fading teams off great defensive efforts is 134-93-2. Shockingly, this is the first time in history these systems combine in the same game.

Texans (-2.5, 51) at Bucs
Going against bad defenses off a win is 144-86-5 (Houston)
Opened a pick but big line moves because of injury updates
Tampa WR Mike Evans and Chris Godwin doubtful
Evans 67 catches
Godwin 86 catches
Teams that scored 28 or more points in at least six of their last seven (Tampa) are a fade of 79-49 (Houston) and go under 73-54
Houston not officially clinched division but would take a miracle
Small chance J.J. Watt could come back
The pick: Houston
Rams at Niners (-6, 45)
Teams off a loss as large favorite are 101-70 (San Francisco)
Consecutive road games, team off loss is 315-218-11 (Rams)
Late-season regression to the mean angle based on ats margin is 140-96-8 (Rams)
Go against much better running team late in season is 82-50-2 (Rams)

5 Dimes is the No. 1 choice for my highest rolling clients as they have very high limits. Also their home page has some valuable handicapping info. It’s all at 5 Dimes
Bad road teams off a loss that was not a blowout are 251-149. Consecutive road games, team off a loss is 314-217. Road underdogs off a loss in which they covered are 85-50.
Big road favorites despite splits that favor home team is 497-375-21. Rest dynamics generally benefit the home team. However, when the road team is more rested, it nullifies the normal home court advantage and creates an off line to the tune of 371-289-8. When both apply, it is 59-39-2 for 60.2 percent.
