Briefly, for those unfamiliar with this -
Early in the 05-06 season, I noticed that teams coming off being involved
in a game that totaled 230+ points, where both teams scored 100+ points individually, had a seeming predisposition to deliver Under results in their next game. That early season Under bias evened out more as the season went on, but there remained specific spots where Under results were delivered more readily (in some cases, emphatically).
The bottom line has been teams playing first following such a game deliver Under more readily than teams playing second. It makes sense this be so since playing second usually means at least 1 days extra rest over the team playing first.
What's below are those stats from last season and the tracking of stats for this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First, the exceptions. The following teams stats I have excluded from the overall records from last season (and will exclude from this season). They have shown a clear bias to buck this trend off such games, which will come as no suprise given their playing styles....
Overall
O/U 10-4 ... Phoenix
O/U 4-1 ..... Milwaukee
O/U 3-1 ..... Golden State
O/U 5-3 ..... Washington
The following teams (their stats still included in the overall numbers) also had records with a subsequently high Over presence, but where the split between playing 1st or 2nd had a significant impact on what result they produced...
Playing 1st .. Playing 2nd .. Total
O/U 1-4 ....... O/U 5-1 ........ O/U 6-5 ... Toronto
O/U 1-3 ....... O/U 3-1 ........ O/U 4-4 ... Seattle
Looking through these 6 teams names, its easy to identify not only why they appeared so often in such games, but also why they had their share of Over results following them.
When it comes to the first 4 teams listed, its simply not worth playing Under at anytime - when it comes to the latter 2, its not worth playing Under if they're playing second off such a game, at anytime.
