Week 5 Trends + Stuff :...

[Kramer]

BY STEVE MAKINEN


The NFL “open dates” started this past weekend and if you haven’t
ever studied the patterns that can perform regarding teams’ performances
in and out of the bye week, this article will open your eyes.


Hopefully it will expand your bankroll as well, as over the course of the
next two weeks, I will unveil 30 different powerful ATS or Over-Under trends
that you can apply over the next five weeks of the NFL season.

If these distinctive trends hold for yet another season, we’ll all be a lot richer by Thanksgiving.


I’ve decided to break this piece into two weeks to give you more time to digest the information.

Quite frankly, I was amazed at the trends I discovered in looking back at
past bye week performances of franchises.

In fact, there were so many trends with lesser sample sizes,
yet still very successful, that I had to leave out of this piece
for fear of overload.

Still, with 30 historically successful trends headed your way over the course
of the next two weeks,
this, nor next week’s continuation,
are two articles you’re going to want
to hang on to.


This first set of trends will cover games
this Sunday, October 5th, through Sunday, October 19th.

The follow-up will cover games
in the three weekends following.


Enjoy the information, and good luck.

Week 5: Sunday, October 5th

Play: OVER - Indianapolis at Houston
Reason...Prior to last year's 29-7 win at Jacksonville,
Indianapolis had gone OVER in eight straight post-bye week games.

The Colts are scoring 33.7 PPG
on their own in that span.


Play: ARIZONA SU & ATS vs. Buffalo
Reason...The Bills are on the longest
pre-bye week losing streak,
dropping nine straight games,
while going 2-6-1 ATS.


Play: KANSAS CITY ATS at Carolina
Reason...Since 2001, the Chiefs
have proven a good bet both before and after the bye week,
going 10-4 ATS combined
(5-2 ATS each) in those scenarios.

Play: TENNESSEE ATS at Baltimore
Reason...Since '02, in games
surrounding the bye week,
Jeff Fisher's Titans are a
combined 9-2-1 ATS.


Week 6: Sunday, October 12th


Play: ATLANTA SU & ATS vs. Chicago
Reason...The Falcons have been
a solid play prior to the open date,
going 5-3 SU & 7-1 ATS in L8.


Play: DALLAS ATS at Arizona
Reason...The Cardinals have lost
seven of their L9 games ATS
prior to the bye week.

Play: OVER – Dallas at Arizona
Reason...Arizona is 5-1-1 OVER in its L7 games heading into the bye week.

Play: SAN FRANCISCO SU & ATS vs. Philadelphia
Reason...Since Andy Reid took over
in 2000, the Eagles are just
2-7 SU & 1-7-1 ATS in pre-bye
week games.

Play: UNDER – Cincinnati at NY Jets
Reason...The Jets are on an
incredible run of 11-1 UNDER in the L12 coming out of the bye.

Defensively, the Jets are allowing
just 12.7 PPG in these 12 contests,
and half the opponents were held
to less than 10 points.

Play: NY JETS ATS vs. Cincinnati
Reason...The Jets have won
their L6 post-open date games ATS.

Week 7: Sunday, October 19th


Play: BUFFALO ATS vs. San Diego
Reason...Including three straight wins,
the Bills are 4-3 SU & 5-1-1 ATS
in post-bye week games since '01.

Play: UNDER – San Diego at Buffalo
Reason...The UNDER is also 6-1
in the L7 Bills’ post bye-week games.

Play: MINNESOTA ATS at Chicago
Reason...The Bears have struggled
with motivation in the game before
the bye week, going 1-8 SU & ATS
in the last nine years.

Play: OVER - Minnesota at Chicago
Reason...Totals have been the wager of choice for savvy bettors in
pre- & post bye week
Minnesota games.
Since '98, the OVER is 17-5 in those contests.

Play: HOUSTON ATS vs. Detroit
Reason...The Texans own a winning
mark of 4-2 SU & 5-1 ATS in
pre-open date games since
returning to the NFL in 2002,
far better than their overall record.
