Here are the Top-25 and Double-Digit Favorites Trends breakdown of Week 6:

Top-25 Teams
Week 6 SU: 12-6
Running Total SU: 104-28
Week 6 ATS: 8-10
Running Total ATS: 65-64-3

Double-Digit Spreads (FBS vs FBS)
Week 6 SU: 20-3
Running Total SU: 139-15
Week 6 ATS: 14-9
Running Total ATS: 84-68-2

Totals in Games with Double-Digit Spreads (FBS vs FBS)
Week 6: 8 Overs (longest streak: 2 'Over' games) 15 Unders (longest streak: 4 'Under' games) 0 Pushes
Thru 10/6: 71 Overs (longest streak: 4 games) 80 Unders (longest streak: 8 games) 3 Pushes

Overview: Well, it finally happened: The totals finally broke in a decided direction last week, much to my dismay. I had the Over in both late games of heavily favored Boise State and heavily favored Washington. I was betting on the trend that we had observed for the first 5 weeks of the season and it was finally bucked. We'll have to see if the Overs can make some noise or if the Unders continue to cash...

Note: Lines are according to Covers closing lines. Order of games is determined by time of kick-off. If time of kickoff is the same, I sort by Rotation Number... just to clarify...

I'll be back with a selection for tonight's slate.

OK, so apparently if I hit 'Enter', it will post what I was trying to 'Copy' and 'Paste'...

Here are the Top-25 and Double-Digit Favorites Trends breakdown of Week 7:

Top-25 Teams
Week 7 SU: 14-8
Running Total SU: 118-36
Week 7 ATS: 10-10-2
Running Total ATS: 75-74-5

Double-Digit Spreads (FBS vs FBS)
Week 7 SU: 20-3
Running Total SU: 159-18
Week 7 ATS: 14-8-1
Running Total ATS: 98-76-3

Totals in Games with Double-Digit Spreads (FBS vs FBS)
Week 7: 9 Overs (longest streak: 3 'Over' games) 13 Unders (longest streak: 4 'Under' games) 1 Push
Thru 10/13: 80 Overs (longest streak: 4 games) 93 Unders (longest streak: 8 games) 4 Pushes

Overview: For the second straight week, the Unders dominated in double-digit spread games. Over the last two weeks, there have been 17 Overs, 28 Unders and 1 Push. Double-digit favorites also had another winning week. They've covered more games than not in 5 out of 7 weeks so far... And look what happened last night to kick off Week 8: a double-digit favorite covered and the Under came in. In other words, more of the same...

Managed to eek out a profit last week despite going 2-5. You've got to hit your big plays. They're the cure-all...
