Top NBA OU teams in terms of OU. Top over teams 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.

Sean Rhea, UTRGV’s best player, is leaving the program. He averaged 15.2 points per game, 6.2 rebounds, and a block a game. They are already without Chris Freeman, who averages 7.3 points per game, 4.3 boards, and 1.7 assists. Also, coach Lew Hill tragically died last month. Yes, I’ve said teams rally around adversity, but this is a lot for young kids to overcome.
They played only 13 games because of stoppages and now down two key players go to high altitude of Utah Valley. One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate 67 percent. Accuscore has them covering 58.2 percent.

BOSTON -2 Atlanta
Play undervalued road teams to overvalued home team when using advanced analytics numbers and comparing to SU record and spread is 365-196-11 for 65.1 percent.
Away favorites off loss under specific situations that apply in this game 846-673-24. If road team wasn’t sizzling hot before the loss, it is even better 56 percent. One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate of 68 percent. Our second best simulator has Boston covering 61.5 and this is very high for said program.
Two gambling heavyweights, Barstool Sports and Las Vegas Westgate Casino are having a set-to regarding proprietorship over the cliché, “Good teams win, bad teams cover.” Barstool President Dave Portney business acumen is indisputable. Consequently, is he spewing this hackneyed canard because he believes it or is he cunning like a fox? Like Westgate, Portnoy owns his own sportsbook, Barstool. Hence, there is plenty of incentive for perpetuating this farcical hoax.
The fact-based truth is that great teams are overvalued. In the NBA teams with winning percentage of .880 or above are 600-652-26 ATS. However, when playing a horrific team, it’s even worse. If their opponent has a winning percentage of less than .410, the great team covers at an abysmal .373 at 85-143-3. When the records are not deceptive and the “great” team is the favorite by at least 1.5, the elite squad covers at a .368 clip.
Do great teams cover in NFL? If a team has a winning percentage of .900 or above and at least 11 wins, one could proclaim they’ve gained admission to the great clique. Yet said teams are 25-59-1 for .298 winning percentage all-time.
None of this is a revelation to pro gamblers. The gambling society yearns to wager on superior and hotter teams, hence betting on premium lineups comes with a premium price. Pay the piper for that façade of security of betting on great squads to cover.
I’m no atty and I’m preoccupied winning bets to play one on the computer. However, I handicap Portnoy’s claim, “By the way there is literally no chance they invented that (phrase),” to be irrelevant in a court of law. Barstool’s head honcho compared it to “Saying you invented the question mark.” Or the term “barstool” perhaps.
My reasons for making Barstool the substantial underdog are anecdotal, but personal and related to the gambling sector.
Our free scorephones were called “Sportsline.” Many years later, Sportsline was trademarked by the founders of website now owned by CBS. After getting a cease-and-desist letter demanding we stop using the name, our corporate attorney advised us to not fight it. Apparently, “Literally no chance they invented that” holds up in court as well as “Great teams cover” holds up at sportsbooks.
Anyone who believes the urban legend about a correlation between great groups of players and covering may not have invented the question mark. They just epitomize it.

pring training is underway, and oddsmakers are pushing out their projections for the 2021 MLB season.
At SportsBetting, the Dodgers were tagged with an over/under victory total of 103.5, which is highest total in the last 22 years.
The Yankees had a win total of 104.5 ahead of the 1999 season. New York was the World Series champ that year, but their total went under after compiling a 98-64 record.
Below, you will find every team’s win total for this year, as well as the 2020 season (which was obviously shortened) for comparison.
The Red Sox’s total has dropped by nine victories (88.5 to 79.5), but the largest drop comes from the Pirates after having a total of 71.5 last year and 58.5 this year.
The Rangers (79.5 to 67.5) and Rockies (74.5 to 63.5) are also notable fallers.
The biggest improvement comes from the Padres. San Diego had a win total of 83.5 last season, but is listed at 95.5 for 2021.
The Blue Jays (75.5 to 87.5) also saw a large jump, while the Tigers and Orioles are both in the 60-win tier after being in the 50-win tier last year.

DENVER -8.5 Cleveland
Denver lost two in a row both SU and ATS. Big away favorites in a losing are 265-165-11. Scorephone clients will recall that angle that has to do with teams off a loss under certain situations that we have won with literally since our debut in 1988. It works regular and postseason and applies here. Road teams playing a bad team and in a bad stretch of defensive efforts are undervalued to the tune of 133-83-1. One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate of 68 percent. Bovada is where I bet!
