Indianapolis Colts ndash This team how now won 19straight regular season games

Using this week’s ratings with last week’s NFL results we charted how the top 10 teams would have done ATS vs the teams ranked worse than 20th. Week 11 had a ton of lopsided matchups so there is a large sampling to choose from. Favorites included New Orleans, Cincinnati, Dallas, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Arizona. The heavily favored teams from the top of our charts produced four wins straight-up but results when betting the favs reversed to just 2-4 ATS.

Over/Under results for those that like to wager on totals finished with 2 overs and 4 unders.The dogs were a good play and as the season becomes a lost cause for teams we can expect pointspreads to get even more generous for betting dogs – but it will always be just as hard pulling the trigger on a team that can’t win straight-up.Complete NFL Power Rankings for Week 121.
