We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based entirely on strong and relevant ATS statistics:

Note that Boston is 27-22 ATS this season vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99-plus points per contest and already 4-2 ATS after playing to three or more consecutive SU losses, while Philadelphia is 0-9 ATS this year as a home dog in the 9.5 to 12 points range, just 4-9 ATS vs. division opponents and only 18-24 ATS after three or more consecutive SU losses.

The bottom line: Here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against, we look for BOSTON to take advantage of this favorable spot and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover.
