Yesterday finished with a 4-2, 2-1 on pointspreads and 2-1 on totals.


Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers

The Niners have a good defense and their offense is also quite good, but despite playing at home tonight, they've had consistently lose all their important games against stronger teams during the current season by a 6/7 pts margin.

I don't expect them to win tonight against an Arizona team that leads their division and that has managed to win their games on the road and the Cards are showing a nice improvement on their last games too.

I think that the Cardinals offense has an edge for this game and they have enough quality to win this game by at least by a touchdown.

Have to recognize my shortcomings when it comes to SNF and MNF games...

9-18 (0-6 on the last 4 weeks) and -9.85 units lost is not a great calling card...

Was doing great until Week 10, since Week 11 it was always downhill rock bottom... :|

Brief Analysis:

Sunday and Monday Night Football games went 9-18, with 0-5 on Totals and 0-1 on Moneylines. This translated on -9.85 units lost.

Without those games, I would finish with a 54-53-3 season record and -4.33 units lost. A loss is always a loss, even if it is a small one.

Point spreads would finish 43-41 and -3.21 units lost, totals would end 6-7 and -1.5 units lost, moneylines would finish 5-5 and +0.38 units won.

Until 2009.11.29, the NFL 2009 Season record would 44-42-1, -1.99 units lost (86 units risked). Without the SNF and MNF games, the season record would be 35-32-1 and -0.14 units lost (67 units risked).

From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, the NFL 2009 Season record finished 19-29-2, -12.19 units lost (48 units risked) with a brutal 0-8 on SNF and MNF games, which if we take out of the record, would translate to a 19-21-2 record and -4.19 units lost (40 units risked).

So after all, even without the mess caused by the SNF and MNF games, my performance on NFL showed that this season I didn't showed a useful edge on any market, aside the dogs (an obvious one).

To simplify things, looking only at the underdogs market for the season, converting the ML Green Bay Packers ML +115 (2.15) The Greek (110 - Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Green Bay Packers ML +115 (2.15) The Greek (37-36: LOSS)) in the pointspread, translates to Green Bay Packers +2 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker (110 - Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Green Bay Packers +2 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker (37-36: WIN)), which can be easily verified on any odds history service like the NFL Scores and Odds of the sbrforum.

The season record on dogs would finish 17-14-1, +1.13 units won (31 units risked). Without the 4 dogs on SNF and MNF games, the record would be 16-11-1, +3.33 units won.

Until 2009.11.29, 8-6-1, +1.13 units won (7-6-1, +0.33 units won without SNF and MNF games). From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, 9-8-1, ZERO units won (9-5-1, +3 units won without SNF and MNF games).

On the last 5 weeks of the season, besides the mess on the SNF and MNF games, I also failed to navigate on the favorite picks. I've done some research and on the previous 3 seasons (2006 to 2008), only on 2007 the favs manage to cover (big) since Week 9 until Week 17. On the other 2 seasons, the dogs were kings and did a lot of damage...

I don't have any kind of lines history information that go back in time as long as possible since 2005, so if you know anything about this, please let me know, because I would like to spend some time looking at previous seasons before 2006.

BTW, until 2009.11.29 my overall season performance on all sports combined without NFL (NHL+NBA+NCAAB) was -7.95 units lost and 334 units risked.

From 2009.11.30 until 2010.01.03, NHL+NBA+NCAAB+NCAAF finished with +41.57 units won and 483 units risked. And if I took the college hoops moneylines out of the equation, my overall profits on the last 5 weeks show a great improvement: +54.72 units won and 457 units risked.

So, despite the bad NFL 2009 regular season, I've other motives of happiness, specially on the NBA. :P
