Skunked! I couldn’t have been more wrong on those 3 football games, what a dumpster fire. Not the way I hoped to end the CFB reg season.

NFL Week 12 since 2001:

HF 67
HD 31
RF 42
RD 73

Div HF 16
Div HD 10
Div RF 10
Div RD 35

//

It kinda surprises me that noone ever comes into my threads and talks about these NFL Week x specific observations I research. So I'm gonna point out how to use this stuff to your benefit.

Week 12 brings us some very revealing info.

Division Road Dogs overwhelm Division Home Favs by 35-16. And the corollary, non Division Home Favs beat non Division Road Dogs 51-38. The other stat that I can deduce from the numbers is that non Division Road Favs beat non Division Home Dogs by a 32-21 margin.

Jeez, there have been some big line changes overnight. Hate when they move against me. If I put a "?" where the line should be it's because I'm waiting on the line movement.

Sunday:

Houston -3 -108 (vs NOr)
Week 12 non Div HF are 51-38.
Career game coming up for DeAndre Hopkins. The Aints ain't got no secondary. And Drew Breese is running up against a Houston D buzzsaw just as the teeth are getting sharp. Blowout in Texas.

Atlanta (+/- ?) (vs Minny)
An old Taxi system says to play against any team off a long winning streak if they lose outright, then their next game is on the road (Minny). Kenman helped me with the numbers last week when this same angle came up against Cincy. The system missed by a point and a half last week as Arizona beat Cincy 33-30 but failed to cover the -4' spread. That leaves the record for this system since 2005 at 17-7-2. Try again. Also Week 12 (since 2001) non Div HF are 51-38 if Atlanta does indeed go off as the favorite.

Indianapolis -3 +100 (vs TBy)
So Tampa has won 3 of 4; 4 of 6. Their Defense has been turning the ball over and Jamies Winston is learning to play in the Bigs. Indy? They've only covered 5 of their last 6 including covers vs New England, Carolina, and Denver. Gimme the non Div Home Fav (51-38).

Washington +2 -105 (vs NYG)
So Washington got popped by Carolina, 16-44. Three weeks ago they lost to New England. Around those games they beat a sneaky good Tampa team, and smudged No Defense New Orleans, 47-14. I'll take my chances with the revenging Div Home Dog (Gints beat Wash 32-21 in Week 3) who is now out of the wake of the NFL's two undefeated teams. The winner here gets the Division edge as both are Div .500 going in. The Skins are 4-1 at home; Gmen 2-3 Road.

Kansas City -4 -105 (vs Buffs)
This will be the Beefalos third straight road game. I like to give an average team a quota of one win in that situation. Buff already filled that quota when they beat the Jets. Buff is also coming off three consecutive Divisional games. I'm expecting a letdown like when in Weeks 2 and 3 they had back to back games against New England and Miami and then lost outright to the Giants as 6 point favs. Kansas City has been quietly getting it together with four straight wins, four straight covers, and six straight where they haven't allowed an opponent to reach 20 points. Their run has begun. Buffalo meat for lunch in Kansas City today. Non Division Home Favs are 51-38 ATS in Week 12.
