WELCOME TO THE WOODSHED
In case you showed up here by mistake, a few things you'll need to know.
First, as the title implies, the woodshed is a place where you can get a verbal ass-whoopin' or we can share a few sips of some of Kosmo's sweet but powerful home-brewed picks, pans, rants and raves. The choice is yours.
Second, I'm retired. that means I have no schedule. I do what I want when I want. That includes answering questions or posting my picks. The only thing that will make that change is sending me money. (Fat chance that'll happen.)
Finally, I'm a gambler, not good enough to make a living at it, but good enough to keep the frig full of brews and smoke a good cigar occasionally
( I'm very partial to NoCal free-rolls ).
That's it. I hope you can use some of the info here to make yourself some money.

Additional Random Notes From WalterFootball.com
ReplyDeleteDetroit is listed as a road favorite for the first time since 2008, but the stunning stat is the 0-7 SU/ATS mark since 1997 when laying points on the highway. In fact, the last time the Lions covered as a road favorite was under Wayne Fontes in 1996 at Tampa Bay.
The Steelers are 0-3 ATS the last three times when laying at least 9 ½ points away from Heinz Field, including two SU losses at Cleveland and Kansas City in 2009.
West Coast teams are 24-42 against the spread in 1 p.m. East Coast games coming off a home contest
Small road underdogs (1-2.5 points) have major issues covering the spread after a loss as a home underdog. Teams in that situation are on an emotional low, and traveling makes things more difficult, especially when they have to battle a team considered slightly worse than them. Teams in this situation are 4-16 against the spread since 2002.
Gary Kubiak is 10-2 ATS in his second consecutive road game.
Tom Coughlin is 4-7 ATS after Monday Night Football.
Tony Sparano is 17-7 ATS on the road.
The Jaguars are an underdog playing their second-consecutive road game off a loss. Teams fare well in this scenario (121-69 ATS since 2002). Jack Del Rio is 5-2 ATS in this situation.
Underdogs following a loss of 28-plus points are 55-30 against the spread since 2002 if you exclude the weird Week 17 games.
San Diego hasn't covered a spread of 14 or more this decade (0-3 ATS).
0-2 Teams that made the playoffs the previous year are 13-7 ATS in Week 3 since 2003 (7-3 as favorites).

Bears are 7-3 ATS after giving up 30 or more points in a loss since 2005.
Steelers are 2-8 ATS on the road as favorites of -5 or more since 2006.
