Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets Share Trend for Divisional Games Says Handicapping Website

Oct. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Research from sports handicapping website Vegas Experts has discovered that beating the pointspread but losing a game can lay the groundwork for success the next time the two teams meet, which is a positive development for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets.

This Sunday, the Eagles’ home game against the Dallas Cowboys as well as the Jets’ home matchup against the New England Patriots, fall under those parameters, making them viable wagering options.

The website focused on divisional games in which the previous meeting between two teams saw the winning team fail to cover the pointspread, narrowing the focus on games since the start of the 2011 NFL season.

Vegas Experts discovered that the losing team in the earlier game put together an amazing record with respect to beating the Las Vegas betting line the next time those two teams met, with those losing teams 16-2-1 against the pointspread.

In Week 13 of last season, the Eagles were 9.5-point road underdogs to the Cowboys, losing 38-33, but covering the Las Vegas betting line. Meanwhile, last month, the Patriots were 11-point home favorites against the Jets, but only managed to win by a 13-10 score.

So far in 2013, this NFL trend has won all three of its previous opportunities: in Week One, the Bills beat the 9.5-point pointspread versus the Patriots, and were followed three weeks later by an outright win from the Detroit Lions as three-point home favorites over the Chicago Bears. The final instance came the next week, when the Oakland Raiders also won outright as 4.5-point home underdogs against the San Diego Chargers.
