Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Oklahoma 15 was louder than a jet engine sustained for 3 hours

If you are a serious person in this industry and you aren’t aware of the ability our fan base has to be loud, you should find new work.

I see this take occasionally and I completely agree. I think that's the loudest I've ever heard it and I've been to a lot of big games over there. It was unreal.
 
I realized, you quoted two stats that contradicted each other. Nobody beating the lions covers so you don't think Minnesota covers, but teams on the road always cover. Why is one going to regress to the average but not the other?
You misunderstood. Road favorites have been 16-2 since week 5 (which means the public feasted vs the books). Vegas doesn’t lose regularly, so the public will eventually get got. The stat that teams don’t cover the spread after playing Detroit helps the theory that Vegas will correct that 16-2 public feasting

Basically, @jave36 im fading the public and riding with Vegas. The Detroit stat just helps back my theory

The public only feasted if he majority of the money was on the road favorites.

You're basically saying the road favorites will regress to the Vegas historical average of covering 50% of the time. But the trend where teams don't cover after losing to Detroit is also a trend that should be 50% to match the Vegas historical average.

Public vs Vegas is about where the money is, not whether or not road favorites are covering often or not. Right?
Yes, and the public rode the road favorites the last 2.5 weeks heavy
