Default Re: NFL Parlays Huge Spreads and O/Us 4-0 this weekend

This is the outcome of blindly betting this in the NFL since 1990 based on the repole numbers. The criterion was where spread >= (1/4)(total). This only counts weeks 1-9 of 2007 and the regular season only for all other years. The 3 numbers are wins-losses-halfwins. A half win is where you win half of the parlay and tie the other half.

Here are the games this year that qualified (weeks 1-9).

2007 Weeks 1-9:
Week 2: Buf(3) +10 @ Pit(26) o/u39 [loss]
Week 2: NJY(13) +10 @ Bal(20) o/u 33 [half]
Week 2: Oak(20) +10 @ Den(23) o/u 37 [win]
Week 2: KC(10) +12 @ Chi(20) o/u 34.5 [win]
Week 3: SF(16) +9.5 @ Pit(37) o/u 38 [win]
Week 3: Buf(7) +16.5 @ NE(38) o/u 41 [win]
Week 4: Stl(7) +13 @ Dal(35) o/u 47 [loss]
Week 4: KC(30) +12 @ Sdg(16) o/u 38.5 [loss]
Week 5: Cle(17) +15.5 @ NE(34) o/u 48 [win]
Week 6: Stl(3) +9 @ Bal(22) o/u 36.5 [loss]
Week 7: NE(49) -15.5 @ Mia(28) o/u 49.5 [win]
Week 8: Was(7) +14.5 @ NE(52) o/u 46.5 [win]
Week 9: Bal(7) +9.5 @ Pit(38) o/u 36 [win]

With standard payouts of +2.6 for a win, -1 for a loss and +0.91 for a half win, it looks like blindly doing this for the NFL is -EV. This year with the New England anomaly it appears to be doing well.

Edit: I was improperly counting half wins where the spread was tied. If under/dog tied, I was not counting this as a loss for over/win.
