TOM STRYKER’S FREE FOOTBALL SELECTION SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17TH
#318 NEW ORLEANS (-5′) over NY Giants at 1 PM EST
Off the home win over Carolina and with a pair of brutal road wars at Los Angeles (Rams) and Tampa Bay on deck, New Orleans needs this game like blood in order to have a chance at the playoffs. Catching the overachieving Giants off three straight wins and covers, and a short work week, only helps the Saints cause. Let’s take a look inside the numbers.
When competing against an opponent that enters off a straight up underdog win, New Orleans has been at its financial best posting a reliable 64-46-4 ATS record. In this run storming in with momentum off a SU and ATS victory, the Saints improve to a phenomenal 30-14 SU and 30-12-2 ATS including an incredible 28-4 SU and 27-4-1 ATS provided they hold a team won/loss percentage of .401 or higher. With those three parameters cranking away and the Boys from the Big Easy tackling a foe that arrives off two or more straight up wins, this trend improves to an outstanding 12-1 SU and 12-0-1 ATS.
This is a tough wagering situation for the G-Men. As a guest carrying a team won/loss percentage less than .500, New York owns a pitiful 2-11 SU and 3-10 ATS in its last 13 tries. Also, underdogs that won straight up as a home pup under the Monday night lights hold a dismal 3-12 SU and 4-11 ATS provided their opponent played in the comforts of home last. If our “play against” side is lined up against a foe that enters with confidence off a straight up win, this unique angle falls to a disturbing 1-8 SU and ATS. That spells bad news for the Giants.
The Saints have a shot at the playoffs and they need this victory in order to stay in the hunt. Take New Orleans. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
