In response to some questions on Sports Betting Prognosticating.
Only few points here.
I look also at Steelers Titans. Statistically, the Steelers are favored to win by 8.3 points. The score should be 19-10, statistically speaking. They won their previous two games. Unlike Baltimore, Pittsburgh was not supposed to win those games. Now, it is time for the Steelers to win as favorites.
Read a detailed analysis of the performance of Sports and how to take advantage of the sports betting spreadsheet:
I do not offer direct betting systems or strategies; not freebies, anyway. There is 6 weeks' worth of statistics in the 2001 NFL regular season. Based on the stats so far, I compiled the following table for Week 7, October 28, 2001. I used the spreadsheet Sports.XLS, with some adaptations.
28-Oct-01
Home(1) Visitor(2) Points(1) Points(2) Bet
Chiefs Colts 24.3 24.5 Colts by 0.2
Ravens Jaguars 22.8 10.8 Ravens by 12
Bucs Vikings 17.3 13.0 Bucs by 4.3
Lions Bengals 17.0 20.8 Bengs by 3.8
Bears 49ers 21.3 19.8 Bears by 1.5
Rams Saints 22.9 16.7 Rams by 6.2
Carolina Jets 17.8 26.8 Jets by 9
Cowboys Cardinals 16.0 16.7 Cards by 0.7
Eagles Raiders 23.3 20.3 Eagles by 3
Broncos Pats 24.2 15.0 Broncs by 9.2
Chargers Bills 27.2 14.3 Charges by 13
Dolphins Seahawks 24.5 20.2 Seahws by 4.3
Redskins Giants 13.7 22.7 Giants by 9
Steelers Titans 18.5 10.2 Steels by 8.3
I look at the game Ravens Titans. Statistically, the Ravens are favored to win by 12, according to SPORTS.XLS. The bet seems even more attractive when compared to a line that reads Ravens by 7.5. Moreover, the Ravens lost their last two games, although they were favorites. It happened before. The Ravens lost to Bengals and Broncos in consecutive games. Then, the next game, they beat the Titans by 19 (covering a 3.5 point spread).
The third time is the charm. If not, I won't mind the fourth time. I would just bet bigger...
