Week 15 NFL review.

Linebreakers sports handicapping

The linebreaker crew is back and talking ATS. We look at the how the trends have played out throughout the year. Maybe we have a free Saturday pick this weekend. College football Bowl season is upon us. 40 bowl games coming your way and we talk about a few of them and a couple interesting trends that you might want to know. Visit thelinebreakers.com and see who we are taking this week.

       Playoff teams beat the spread.

I was reviewing the ATS statistics and what jumped off the page was the fact that at the top of the list were all playoff teams and at the bottom are teams that are already eliminated.  Many people might not think that is significant, but trust me, it is.  That means that the better teams are not only winning but consistently beating the odds makers predictions of what number should bring equal action. 

Of the 12 teams that are above 55% ATS, only two are not in the playoff picture.  That means that for the vast majority, the better teams are covering the spread and conversely, the lousy teams aren’t.  The five teams at the bottom of the ATS are all eliminated from the playoffs.  So stay away from the crappy teams because they don’t cover.  Look at the ATS records and see where you should be putting your money.  Or better yet, visit us at www.TheLineBreakers.com and get our picks.

Last week I didn’t see the classic trap game in the Falcons v. the 9ers.  Coming off a great win at the Saints, they then lost to Falcons who are playing basically for Quinn’s job as they beat San Fran with a 19 point fourth quarter.  SMH on that one.  And the Raiders losing their final home game in Oakland by getting shut out 17-0 in second half has me still shaking my head as well, in addition to plenty of cursing.  

The playoff picture is shaping up as is the draft order.  Lots of really interesting matchups and a bunch of duds too.  Time to be very careful about betting on teams with players already loading their golfs clubs in the car.  And the Jags were called out by the Players’ Association as somewhere not to sign as a player!  Holy reverse collusion Batman.  They had more player complaints filed against them than the entire rest of the league. 

We announced last week that we have added our very first Affiliate Partner and that it is FanDuel.  (Still offering Risk-Free Bet Up to $500).  Other sites offer initial deposit matches or $100 just to sign up.  We are still in the process of adding our next Affiliate Partners so when you visit our site, we hope to have them there soon.  As we say each week, the explosion in sports betting sites has brought with it a huge number of enticements for you to join these site.  In addition to sign-up bonuses, they offer bet insurance, odds boosts, parlay insurance and others.  So when you visit our site at www.thelinebreakers.com you will see a link to click on and sign up for your account on FanDuel.com.  FanDuel is one of the original sites and the easiest sites to navigate.  It also offers plenty bonuses, betting options and props.  Recently while looking into the NBA I noticed they are offering “3rd Quarter loss insurance”.  Basically if your team is leading at the end of the 3rd quarter but goes on to lose, they will refund up to $50 of your wager.    Props are a great way to add some fun to your betting experience as well as some money to your account.   So visit us at www.TheLineBreakers.com for help making the right picks and choosing the best betting sites.

Gerrit Cole shaved his beard for $324 million and showed up for his debut presser and joked about it.  He also held up the sign he was famously holding as an 11 year old kid at Yankee stadium in 2001.
