16-1 NFL Stat since 1991

[3ebRocks]

Hey guys, I came across this stat a few days ago and it took a little while to check out, but I did and it does stand at 16-1 since 1991.

Play on a winless DOG after week 4 coming off a bye.

Since 1991 there have only been 17 plays and none this year but we have two this week since the only two winless teams happen to both be off a bye and are underdogs. System tells us to play on Miami and St. Louis in week 10.

Track and save this one. 94% is nothing to sneeze at. If nothing else it may help you make a decision if sitting on the fence. Dont know about you, but even a strong 94% wouldnt be my only reason to take a game. But its tempting. Lets see how they go this week.

Thanks for the info bro!

Really like the Rams +11.5 in this spot, especially off the bye with guys getting healthy. Miami could win as well, Buffalo is playing well though.

Great info. Very tempting but man do those teams stink. I'd lean more toward Miami than St Louis who is running into a buzz saw with the red hot Saints...

I agree Hokie they do stink, but think about it. I think that is part of the reason why the angle is successful. Since the teams need to be at least 0-4 for the stat to be valid (and remember its not just because of byes because byes start in week 3 I believe) maybe it has something to do with a growing desperation and nothing to lose attitude on their part combined with their opponent taking them lightly after the subject team had an extra week to prepare. Ah, who knows, just my opinion.

And also they get a bunch of points too....this trend doesnt have them winning...just covering as a huge underdog....

I totally agree with your logic. And I actually didn't realize the Rams were gettin 11.5! Even against the hot Saints, that sounds pretty good to me. Hopefully Jackson's groin (ouch) holds up this weekend. That would make all the difference! I'll give em a go.

Knew it was only matter of time before frank came in here to confirm the stat....there ya have it folks...

Okay, I only found one loss, but I may have missed something. 16-2 and 91% is what it is then and I stand corrected. Sorry for the confusion.

The stat was actually for an 0-4 team and I didnt count the bye for some stupid reason. Which would add a week, thus making after week 5 totally correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

Frank is known as the stats man around here...if you ever have a question regarding a stat just ask him...

Another trend similar to this is :
winless teams (0-5 or worse) are 90-54-4 ATS as underdogs, including 55-25-3 ATS when facing a non-division opponent

Only until Frank confirms this is it true...j/k...
