Second half betting trends for Week 7
By Rob Veno
Sportsmemo.com
This week’s blog is a bit different than the previous weekly writings. I decided to go more specific this week and focused in on five Sunday NFL games that have some strong early season first half and second half betting trends. Let’s see if these continue to be money makers this weekend:
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
Tampa Bay is 1-4 ATS and 0-5 O/U in second half play this year. The Buccaneers have only had one 2H total score more than 13 points. Tampa has scored one field goal in their last three second halves combined. They lost the 2H 6-0 three weeks ago at New England, 13-0 two weeks ago at home vs. Arizona and 17-3 last week at home against Philadelphia.
Atlanta is 1-4 ATS and 4-1 O/U in the 2H this season. All four pointspread losses are either as pick ‘em or an underdog, their lone cover was as a favorite. In the Falcons last four games, the 2H totals have resulted in 27 or more points.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
Baltimore has been a tremendous second half team rattling off five consecutive straight up and ATS wins. Until last week’s 17-13 2H win and cover against Green Bay, the Ravens had won four straight second halves by double digits. The second half defense has been the difference, allowing only 26 2H points in their last five games.
Pittsburgh on the other hand has performed poorly against the second half spread going 1-4 with last week’s 10-0 victory over the Jets being their first. Of the Steelers four 2H losses, three have been as 2.5-3.5 point favorites while the other was as a 3.5 point underdog.
Buffalo @ Miami
The Bills have been a solid first half over play eclipsing the total in five of their first six games. Even with third string QB Thaddeus Lewis starting last week, the Bills-Bengals game reached 27 1H points and went over. Buffalo first halves are averaging 24.16 points per game with five of the six totaling 23 or more.
Miami has not developed much of a pattern where first halves are concerned but the second halves of their home games have been very high scoring. This will only be the third home game for the Dolphins but the first two have seen 27 & 30 points scored respectively with each game going over the 2H total.
St. Louis @ Carolina
St. Louis has had a knack for playing non-competitive first halves recently as their last five games have had double-digit score margins. The Rams have won the first half each of the last two weeks by 11 over Houston and 14 over Jacksonville but before that they went 0-3 ATS in the 1H losing by 11, 17, and 21.
Meanwhile, the Panthers have put together one of the strongest 1H trends in the NFL this year as the parlay of Carolina and the under has gone 5-0. Carolina’s 5-0 first half pointspread mark has seen their defense hold each and every opponent to 3 points or less (total of 12 points allowed in the first half this season) leading to five easy covers since the closing numbers have all been in the +1 to -2.5 range. That strong defensive effort has also been partly responsible for Carolina’s first halves averaging a total of only 10.6 points per contest.
Chicago @ Washington
The Bears have posted the league’s strongest first half totals mark by going 6-0 O/U in the first half. Every Chicago 1H has concluded with at least 24 1H points on the scoreboard and five of the six have cashed in “never in doubt” style exceeding the line by 3.5 points or more. In all, Chicago games have seen 201 first half points scored for an average of 33.5.
Washington has a perfect first half mark going as well, but theirs has to do with the point-spread as they’ve gone 0-5 SU and ATS in their contests thus far. The Redskins have lost just one game by less than four points and in four of the five they’ve missed covering by at least 4.5 points so they haven’t really been close. They have however, been a dynamic second half over team going 4-1 in that category.

PICK SIXTY SPORTS WEEKLY TIP
Following Seattle’s win against Arizona Thursday there is still a whole whack of football to get through before Minnesota (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS) hits New York for Monday’s game against the Giants (0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS). We can see that the line has already moved across a key number, though, to New York (-3.5) so for this week’s tip we will focus our attention here.
“Due factor” is the phrase around most water coolers but wasn’t New York “due” after the shutout loss to Carolina? There is another trend suggesting value on home teams following a Thursday nighter and this one makes sense. The players have had extra rest, coaches’ additional time to gameplan and without the hassle of travel the home side has no excuse for a weak effort.
This season, home teams are 7-1 ATS off a Thursday game including a perfect 6-0 SU/ATS mark when favored
But the Vikings were 3-5 straight-up on the road last year and so far Minnesota has lost both road games at Detroit and Chicago. Are they not “due?” The Vikes are 12-2 ATS off a blowout loss the past 12 years including a 5-1 ATS record on the road; that certainly adds support to the dog.
Minnesota has issues in the secondary and a new starter under center but they also have Adrian Peterson and the Giants struggle against the run. At +3.5 points or more, we like the VIKINGS to cover.

NFL Trends & Angles – Week 7
As those of you that have followed us in the past know, the majority of our angles are contrarian in nature and not for the feint of heart, as many of them point to live underdogs and live ‘unders’ whenever we have total angles. Now, we have three new angles this week to replace three from last week that have no qualifiers for Week 7, but the “favorites off of bye” angle remains the only one that is not contrarian.
Our full-season angles go back to 2005, as that gives us a large enough sampling without going back too far to games that may pre-date certain changes in the game that may make using older games less than ideal.
Finally, you will occasionally see angles that refer to Good Teams and/or Bad Teams. We are not using those terms subjectively in those contexts, but rather, Good Teams are defined as teams that have won at least 10 of their last 16 games and Bad Teams are defined as teams that have lost at least 10 of their last 16 games.
So here are our NFL Trends & Angles for Week 7, with all records being for the last eight seasons since 2005 plus the first six weeks of this season.
Bet on any team that has lost at least four straight games ATS (78-56-5, 58.2% ATS since 2005): This is a contrarian angle that looks for potentially undervalued teams that most bettors tend to avoid, as they do not like betting on teams on decided ATS losing streaks.. This angle has worked even better if the team on the ATS losing streak is now on the road (43-29-1, 59.7 percent), although we are not quite comfortable enough with that smallish sample size to present it as a stand-alone angle. Home teams have still been profitable at 35-27-4, 56.5 percent ATS. Qualifier: Houston +6½.
Play on any team that failed to cover the spread by 25 points or more in its last game (77-53-3, 59.2% ATS): The reason why this angle has worked so well over the years is a combination of professional teams not liking to be embarrassed and usually bouncing back strong, and the fact that bettors usually shy away from teams that just lost to the spread so badly, thus giving them inherent value the following week. Qualifiers: Houston +6½ and Minnesota +3 (Monday).
Play on any favorite coming off of a bye week (87-50-4, 63.5% ATS): This is the one of our few angles that is not contrarian in nature. NFL teams that have had an extra week of preparation time have had a nice advantage in recent years, and the added time off oftentimes has resulted in any injured players the teams may have also having extra recovery time, which is an added bonus. Qualifiers: Atlanta -7 and Miami -8½.
Play on any conference road underdog coming off of a road game (182-117-6, 60.9% ATS): It used to be that teams playing consecutive road games were great fades, but as that angle became common knowledge, bookmakers started to adjust the point spreads for teams playing on the road off of a road game. Well, based on these long-term results, they may have over-adjusted the lines, especially when now facing a familiar conference foe, which lessens the travel effect since the team usually knows how to attack the foe and what to expect on defense. Qualifier: St. Louis +6.
Play against any favorite of -7½ or more that lost straight up as a favorite in its last game (63-39, 61.8% ATS): Teams that are favored after losing as favorites in their previous game are often overrated teams, and this becomes especially true if they are favored by more than a touchdown the following week, as you can see by the record of this angle with a sampling of over 100 decisions. Qualifier: Buffalo +8½.
Week 7 Trends from Dr. Bob
Things have gone from bad to worse for Houston, as the Texans have now lost 4 straight games and are 0-6 ATS this season after losing each of their last 3 games by 21 points or more, including last week as a 7½ point home favorite to a bad Rams team. There are a couple good contrary indicators favoring Houston this week, reminding us once again that the harder a team is to bet the better bet that team usually is.
Play on an underdog that lost their last game straight up as a favorite of more than 6 points if their opponent has a win percentage of .500 or higher. That’s 127-68-7 ATS.
If the team coming off the upset loss has a win percentage of less than .625 then the record is an even better 116-46-6 ATS.
Play on Houston.
I realize that it’s hard to play on a team that is 0-6 ATS but the value is on Houston’s side. In fact, that trend above is 5-0-1 ATS if the team has lost 5 or more consecutive games to the spread – which leads me to the next contrary angle.
Teams that have lost their last 5 games or more to the spread and are coming off a loss are 55% ATS over the last 35 years. The percentage gets much better if the opponent is a non-division opponent and if the record of the play on team is .375 or less since those would be two reasons for the opponent to take the game less seriously (teams will get up for other good teams are for division opponents). It also helps if our struggling team is not too much worse than their opponent, so it’s best to exclude double-digit underdogs. What’s left is the following.
Play on a team with a win percentage of .375 or less in a non-division game if they’ve lost 5 or more consecutive games to the spread and are not a double-digit underdog.
54-20-1 ATS, including 41-9 ATS if our play on team allowed 24 points or more in last week’s loss. That was the NY Giants last Thursday night and they covered at Chicago.
Play on Houston.
The following trend I wrote about a couple of weeks ago and it won with Dallas as a home dog against Denver and last week won again with San Diego over Indianapolis. I’m mentioning it again this week because it applies to 2 games.
Play against a road team that has scored 31 points or more and won in each of their two previous games (and played last week) if they are visiting a non-division opponent with a win percentage of less than .666 (teams with mediocre or poor win percentages are most likely to lead to a letdown).
33-76-4 ATS
Play against St. Louis and San Francisco.
