System: Under on total when the home team is an underdog

Going into Week 9, the under is 31-20 (60.78%) when the home team is playing as an underdog. And if you waited until Week 5 to get in on this play, you managed to avoid some growing pains. Over the last four weeks, the under is 16-9 (64%) when the home team is the underdog.

Of course, 60.78% is a hard hit rate to maintain. But, this play hit 65.3% of the time in 2022 after coming through 55% of the time in 2021.

There are two games this system applies to:

LAC-NYJ is my preferred play of the two, but I expect to play both. The only reason that game gets the slight edge over IND-CAR is the Colts are 6-2 to the over this season.

System: Under on total when an AFC team is a non-conference favorite

We’re turning back to this system as one of the best on the board. Prior to Week 8, the play was 11-7, but then it popped off to bring its season-long hit rate to 65.22% (15-8). One thing that stands out big-time with this play: Week 7 was the only week in which this play had multiple misses.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, 65.22% is a hard number to maintain. However, this system play came through 64.4% of the time in 2022 and 71.1% of the time in 2021.

Here are the games this system applies to:

  • HOU vs. TB
  • NE vs. WAS
  • CLE vs. ARI
  • BAL vs. SEA
  • IND at CAR
  • LV vs. NYG

As mentioned when highlighting the other system, IND has been heavy to the over this season. Still a play worth consideration — especially since it’s a multi-system match — but it’s not my favorite of this bunch either.

The under is 3-0 when the Giants are playing as non-conference dogs. The under is 1-1 when the Raiders are in this situation, but they’re obviously going through a significant amount of change, which helps this play against an opponent that’s been a good team for this system.
