goes under over 58%
dont usually put as much on totals, b/c the two teams arent trying to work the total.
TENN loses this game over 55% of the time, 2 points does not make a difference in many games. The oddsmaker is baiting the public with the +. And the public is taking it.
I dont really care that much what happens in the past, I focus on being predictive. I dont use a database very much, the historical numbers lead to backfitting error. Teams that have won the last several meetings I generally look to fade, as the value is on the other side.
Another broad view: how many games will TENN win on the road vs. how many will INDI win at home. Two other factors: penalties and fg kicker.
A lot of the things that I look at I have been warned not to divulge, I post a lot of what I wager on and the %BR. What I do is definitely not for everyone, but if you take a lot of 54% scenarios you will see huge results.
