Betting on games like this are extremely frustrating.
The Jets are literally dominating this game on both sides of the ball......350 total yards to 260....5.6 yards per play to 4.3
Rushing 108 to 63 (4.3 to 3.5)
Basically a pick 6, a muffed punt and a redzone turnover was the difference in the game. Then you have that bad Pass Interference penalty and the ref blowing the whistle on that fumble return,,
This is why the NFL is so tough to beat...
For the most part it feels as tho turnovers play such a huge role in who wins the game but since they're random it's very difficult.
Taken form another board....
Yup, not surprising given the numbers I show for 1000+ games back to 2003:
Net turnover margin, SU win pct., Margin of victory
+1 69% 6 points
+2 83% 10 points
+3 91% 13 points
+4 97% 17 points
23-5 = 82% win percent. I show above just a +1 net turnover margin = 69% win rate. Assuming the 28 games of the 23-5 mentioned average out to +2 net turnover margin, the 82% falls in line with the 83% win rate for +2 turnover margin going back to 2003.
I guess I would also say that if turnovers were predictable, or easy to predict, we'd see more handicappers winning at 70+% rate since the ATS results are not far off from the SU results going back to 2003:
+1 turnover margin = 69% SU and 70% ATS
+2 " " = 83% SU and 82% ATS
+3 " " = 91% SU and 89% ATS
+ 4 " " = 97% SU and 95% ATS
Correctly predict turnover margin = world is your oyster.
