Why favorites are on a roll in NFL \'05
Thoughts? Long-overdue correction? Short-term aberration?

Re: Why favorites are on a roll in NFL \'05
Coming into today I had the year at 59 favs, 53 dogs, 1 pick and 2 pushes. Hardly an aberration.
Dogs did take a beating today though, particularly home dogs. Well, the masses win and the books lose sometimes. Give it time and things will even out. Nine weeks is too small a sample size. |

I do think 9 weeks is too small a sample and hope you're right kdog. |

I do not believe any favored team lost today, and most covered. This week just looked to go to be true for us that primarily fade the public. The BSPs got their revenge though. |

Just some bad luck for the dogs. The record ATS for favorites is statistically not that unlikely.

Short-term aberration? [/ QUOTE ] Doesn't seem nearly as likely anymore. |
