South Carolina State-South Carolina UNDER 57
Team statistics relative to the cumulative average off all of college football and current total goes under a stunning 585-337-19. 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 883-534-30.
💰💰💰Top expert pick is from Joe Duffy. Normally $249, but sales have been embraced by you in the past, so here is another. Today, Bet it Trinity 5-day is yours for a stunningly low $209! I went 4-0 yesterday and my MLB angles are tearing the sportsbooks to shreads. No sane person disputes that Joe Duffy is the single greatest football handicapper ever. 7-2 lately NFL, get TNF side.

Margin of cover is a long-time tool of original cappers used to measure the reliability of the often deceptive ATS and OU records. It is much like margin of victory, except it measures margin relative to the point spread or OU. With over-under, “overs” are listed first. Some Johnny-Come-Lately handicappers call this the sweat barometer.

NFL
Wise Guy
HOUSTON +2.5 Chicago
Road dogs in non-divisional games based on completion percentage and rushing yards per attempt are 59-16-1. Admittedly a coin flip in recent years, but as corroborating evidence, road teams off road loss are a good bet 346-296-18. Going against favorites who are almost always underdogs is 160-98-12. Houston is a weird 1-0-1 SU, losing on the road. Chicago is 1-1 SU, winning to San Francisco at home, implying Bears are the better team. But I have told you for decades straight up record is the most deceiving stat in sports. Home field is worth three points, yet Chicago, with the better record is laying less than that. When the overall and splits records both strongly imply the road team should be a much bigger dog, but are not, we weaponize that against them with a 106-67 record.
ATLANTA +2 Seattle
Road dogs in non-divisional games based on completion percentage and rushing yards per attempt are 59-16-1. Admittedly a coin flip in recent years, but as corroborating evidence, road teams off road loss are a good bet 346-296-18. Going against favorites who are almost always underdogs is 160-98-12. When the overall and splits records both strongly imply the road team should be a much bigger dog, but are not, we weaponize that against them with a 106-67 record. Yes this is a pick. We cut and pasted the Houston example by accident, but the same system applies.
GREEN BAY +2 Tampa
Betting on the more disappointing defense based on delta points allowed is 348-239-15. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the average team total. Road teams winless on the road are 191-132 under specific situations that apply in this game. Fading teams in home opener in week 3 is 60-37.
Major
PHILADELPHIA -6.5 Washington
If the home team has been better home than in the road, regression to the mean angle favors the road team 157-113-1.
DETROIT +6 Minnesota
If the home team has been better home than in the road, regression to the mean angle favors the road team 157-113-1. Betting on the more disappointing defense based on delta points allowed is 348-239-15. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the average team total.
Washington-Philadelphia UNDER 47

The under version goes under at a rate of 1550-1217-61. It is okay in playoffs, but much better in regular season.
