Week 12 by the Numbers

In week 12 my algorithm bounced back pretty well.  Here are the results.

Betting Type Overall Result Profit
Straight Up 7 out of 12 $-106.94
Line 7 out of 11 $340.91
Over/Under 8 out of 12 $414.19

A lot of road teams won.  With respect to the Cowboys, my algorithm picked them to win, but not to cover.  For some reason, San Francisco decided not to use press cover against Owens and they paid the price.

A lot of road teams won this week.  Is Bill Simmons (The Sports Guy) right that home field advantage is not what it used to be?  Just ask the Packers.  New Orleans exploded while Tennessee didn’t let the home team woes down by getting wiped out by the visiting Jets.

I think as the weather gets colder, home field advantage will come back with a vengeance.
