What are the 3 most important things you look for? If you can share.

Thanks

First and foremost, I check the play by plays of each game for drives that should have ended in points... If one team drives all the way down to the opponents 5 yard line with a 1st down and they fumble it, I mark down in my handicapping that if it weren't for this "freak occurrence", the team would have had 7 points.

Secondly, I check the play by plays of each game for scoring that normally wouldn't have happened. Using the example above, if the team would have fumbled it on the 1 yard line and the defense returned it for a touchdown. In my handicapping, such an occurrence is considered an anomaly and the 14 point swing that occurs because of it should be ignored.

Last, I look at penalty yardage.

The three things I anaylize in a football game I'm looking to bet...

#1 Is it on TV so I can watch it?

:wow

#2 Do I have enough beer to last through the game?

#3 How many points do I think the favorite will win by?

(and BTW the site's "just kidding" smile comes up as the "it's all good" smile once you post.)

1. Dogs with a reasonable chance of winning outright.

2. Psychological factors affecting the game (ie Manning & Foxboro)

3. Average length of time on the field.
