Episode notes
Lock Contest Lines Early
- Lock lines early because contest lines close on Wednesdays and can differ from game-close lines.
- Announce any Thursday-night picks on the Thursday show or social to avoid confusion.
Respect Line Movement And Trends
- Line movement reflects public and professional reaction; don’t overreact to single-game performances.
- Use numbers and trends rather than emotion when deciding to buy or fade moves.
Check Bounce-Back Data After Blowouts
- When a team suffers a blowout loss, consider historical bounce-back rates before betting.
- Use data (e.g., since 2015 teams off 20+ point losses covered 54%) to temper reactions.
