Margin Against the Close
The MAC system requires that a teams MAC score is either + or – 40 and if they are a fade team (score in the +) they had to have covered the prior week. If they are a PLAY ON team, they had to have not covered last week. The purpose of the MAC is to measure a team’s performance against the markets expectations.

Mac Fades
Overall 4-0 +4.00
MAC Play On
Overall 1-0 +1.00
Week 10 had 1 MAC play:
Play On: LIONS +10.5 SU WINNER

MAC plays are now 5-0 ATS this season.

Week 11 MAC plays:
Fade: KANSAS CITY (+55) L4
Play on: GREEN BAY (-46.5) L4

This week’s MAC chart splits the league down the middle. 16 teams in the negative, and 16 teams in the positive, no team sitting at 0. Moreover, we have the largest negative number in 27 weeks that I have been doing the MAC: -560. This is a product of the number of underdogs that won straight up in week 10. A bye-product of this 6 teams who had a + or – rating of 28 or more. Over or under performing against the spread by 4 TD’s or more is rare. To date there have been 512 games charted. Of those 512 games, only 18 produced a result of a under or over performance against the closing number of 28 or more.


  • Record for betting either on or against a team that posted a MAC of +/- >28: 14-9 ATS.

Not bad, but when we break it down to the Play ON (teams w/ a NEGATIVE MAC) vs Play Against (teams w/ a POSITIVE MAC), there is a significant edge:

  • ATS record betting on teams that posted a NEGATIVE MAC score of >28 the prior week (PLAY ON teams): 11-3
  • ATS record betting on teams that posted a POSTIVE MAC score of >28 the prior week (FADE teams): 3-6

Week 10 teams with a MAC > -28: PLAY ON’s
BROWNS (-28) – Bye week 11
SAINTS (-34.5) – Bye week 11
RAMS (-31) - @ Baltimore – PLAY ON RAMS



Week 10 teams with a MAC > +28: FADE’s
BEARS (+31) – Wk 11 Play would be BRONCOS
WASH (+34.5) – Wk 11 Play would be PANTHERS
STEELERS (+28) – Bye week 11

As with any system, I would not advise playing these games blind. I use them as a TOOL in my NFL capping. Working on further drilling down into the results, to identify the situation surrounding the games that make up the results you see. For example, I want to know if the teams that make up that 11-3 ATS mark were good teams coming off a bad week, or bad teams hitting bottom, and then bouncing the following week. Further investigation is required, but given the MAC system hit at a 60% clip overall last year, and is 5-0 this year, I have enough confidence in the system to incorporate into my capping model.

MAC Buy and Sell Arrows: Based on ATS runs and the corresponding MACs. Games listed in no particular order, and as always, the situation and number have to be right:

BUYS:
SD
GB
NYJ
DEN
ATL
DAL
STL
NO
CLE
SELLS:
CAR
KC
MIN
NYG
CHI
JAX

Injuries of note:
NE (Carry from last week): DION LEWIS – yeah he is a RB, in New England, which is always tough to evaluate, but Lewis was more than. He was worked his way into the offense , as a guy who has plays called specifically for him. In his absence, we will see more BOLDEN and WHITE in the passing offense. Keep in mind that both had more time as RB in NE before Lewis, and Lewis beat them both out. Expect WHITE to play more of the “Lewis” role, and Blount to stay in his role. I think this is a pretty big blow to the PATS offense.

QB Changes that moved my power rating Needle
ROMO – Slight up till see him play
HASSELBACK – down against good teams
KENNUM – Slight up tick
OSWEILER – Upgrade

CHICAGO WR’s: Alshon Jeffery just can’t right, and Eddie Royal WILL miss again.
STL – ROBERT QUINN OUT

Agree on Denver and almost pulled the trigger on SD. Just couldn't though for some reason. GL today SMH
 
Thoughts on plays I made:

CHARGERS: First component is that KC is a MAC fade. Last weeks win at Denver was a big deal for KC. SD hasn't played in two weeks. Last time we saw them they were losing 22-19 on MNF. Two weeks to stew and prepare, and GET HEALTHY. Now they have a division rival coming to town. You can bet SD will be ready. More importantly, the line looks to be inflated due to recent results.

DENVER: Have not been a fan of Denver all season, due to the play of Manning. I upgrade Denver with Osweiler in the mix. Denver brings a defense to town that is the best in the NFL. Bears w/out Jeffery and Forte. I made Denver -3, and believe that's what the line would be if not for Chicago's recent run, which I do not believe to be sustainable.

RAMS: I gave the Rams an upgrade w/ Kennum over Foles. Baltimore is inventing ways to lose, and the public is sour on the Rams given the lofty expectations last week, and their failure to deliver. Waited and got he "3"

TEASER: All about key numbers. BALT +7.5 no longer avail w/ line move. I have GB covering the numbers 3,4,6,7, and 10. Lastly I have a Cincy team that can lose by two TD's, in what will be a competitive game. The Cincy game is interesting to me as I think it is being influenced by last weeks results. Going into last week Cincy was considered the crown jewel of the AFC. Then they lost to the Texans in prime time. AZ enters off a nice prime time win.

Sea/SF UNDER 7.5 1st qtr: I don't know how SF scores.....period. Seattle always gets off to slow starts. In a game that I think goes UNDER anyway, I feel better playing the 11st qtr rather than being stung by some dumb shit late.
 
I agree with Cincinnati with a bounce back this week with the Teaser. I can see them losing, but they could also win after the embarrassment of last week. As a Steeler fan, I've watched Dalton as has everyone else. Typically he's had time to throw, but Houston really rushed him and eventually got to him and made him hurry his throws i think more than he needed. However, he did just miss some blatantly easy throws too.

I was looking at the Over/Undr at 48...part of me leans under, but after last weeks high scoring game i'm concerned about the over. I think Cincinnati's defense is better than Seattle's Defense. Could be a Good Defensive battle more so and i think the O/U reflects last weeks game. any thoughts?
 
Solid again bro.

Nice hit on the big sleazer.

Got to pay attention to these MAC plays.

When you stepping over to the NBA ?
 
Thanks Emkee and Trey.
Thought I posted my Ne/Buf UNDER 48 play last night, but dont't see it.
Emkee - will be getting in involved in NBA in about 1-2 weeks. Getting systems up.
