With Houston's easy win yesterday, last year's Super Bowl loser has lost in game one of the following season ATS eleven years in a row!
A lot of people are on to this----the line dropped two points during the week---but it doesn't sem to matter.
For what it's worth, there's a strong (but not as overwhelming) trend going against the Super Bowl loser all September. A good chunk of the result is because of the week one numbers but even in weeks 2-4 going against the Super Bowl loser has produced solid ATS results.
The reason is pretty obvious. A Super Bowl loss has a hangover effect. In fact, Arizona last year is one of the few Super Bowl losers in recent history to make the playoffs the following year.
Trend or not, I think Indy is a bet against team right now. They're old, all of Manning's favorite coaches are gone, the offensive line has lost its heart in Saturday, and recent drafts haven't helped.
