One particular area of interest in this regard concerns teams coming off a Clutch Win.
A 'Clutch' win-by my definition-is when a team tallies the final score of a game, in either the th quarter or overtime, moving them from a tied or losing position, into a winning one.
Teams coming off this so-called 'gut-check' win are slightly worse-than-average versus the spread in the following week (- ATS since ') which in itself, is not a profitable situation when wagering at / odds.
The Clutch Win situation only becomes interesting when we add a second Primary condition that specifies that the current opponent of the team in question has a worse-than-average Starting Field Position Average Against (SFPA). The league average for SFPA is usually around and in this case, we are interested in teams that have at-least a average or higher.
SFPA basically tells us where a team's defense normally starts out on the field. Squads with a high SFPA usually have a higher-than-average number of interceptions going against them in their own half of the field and also rank near the bottom of the league in terms of how well they defend on kick-off and punt returns.
Teams with a high SFPA are also more likely to be near the bottom of the league in the ATS Wins department, but, unlike teams that falter against the number due to an ineffective offense or defense, teams that have been hurt by INT's and long run-backs on opposing returns are much more likely to bounce back in future games and provide the astute bettor with considerable line-value.
Combining this line-value with a team in position for a possible let-down (due to the Clutch win factor) gives us a formidable negative situation that is - ATS (.%) ATS since and - ATS so far in !
Rounding out this situation are Secondary conditions which weed out opponents with a weak rush defense (evidenced by a high st Quarter Rush % against) and eliminates games in the post-season or Week .
When it comes to situational handicapping, it's always best to work with trends that have as few conditions as possible and this one is very effective with only . Here are all the details:
(Notes: ASM stands for Average Spread Margin and TDIS% is the percentage of teams in the league that have been involved in this system at one time or another. WT% is the percentage of teams that are . or better and SPR is the average Spread for teams in this situation.)
