System: Non-conference favorites ATS

Last week, we focused on a similar system. However, that one focused solely on AFC road favorites in non-conference games. This one opens things up quite a bit.

Through the first three weeks of the season, this system only went 5-4-1. That’s not going to get things done. But, over the last four weeks, this system is 13-9-1, bringing this system’s season-long hit rate to 57.58% (18-13-2).

Here are the nine games this system applies to:

  • ATL @ TEN
  • HOU @ CAR
  • NYJ @ NYG
  • NO @ IND
  • SEA vs CLE
  • BAL @ ARI
  • SF vs. CIN
  • LAC vs. CHI
  • DET vs. LV

The Texans are my preferred play for this one. They’ve been one of the best teams against the spread to start the season at 4-2. Meanwhile, the Panthers are a cool 0-5-1 ATS.

Also since 2021, when both teams in non-conference games are coming off a bye, the favorite is 8-3 ATS when playing on the road.

System: Under on total in divisional games

Another league-wide trend is in play in Week 8, but it only applies to a handful of games with there being so many non-conference games slated.

After hitting in 56% of the divisional matchups last season, the under is 21- 13 (61.8%) those games this season. NFC divisional games have a higher hit rate (66.7%) than AFC divisional games (57.9%), but both numbers are still impressive enough to put each of the following four games in play:

  • PHI @ WAS
  • MIN @ GB
  • KC @ DEN
  • NE @ MIA

KC at DEN gets the nod here, as both teams are 2-0 to the under in divisional games this season. The Chiefs have also been heavy to the under this season (5-2) and the under is 13-8 in Denver since 2021.
