Great Wild Card Fact

[roccodean]

In general in the NFL the straight up winner also covers 86% of the time.

It is even better in the Wild Card round...In Wildcard round from '93-present straight up winner is 82-8-3 ATS (91%) ATS, including 24-0 ATS in last 6 years.

Not surprising given that it is the NFL and in the playoffs where most spreads are a fg or less.

Here is another interesting fact relevant to this weekend games. 3 of the 4 games are rematches of regular season contests. The exception is the Eagles/Saints game. Which begs the question how do teams fare after defeating a non-divisional opponent during the regular season. The answer is not very good especially against the spread. Since 2001 the regular season winner is 36-29 SU but only 24-41 ATS.
