2014 Cappers NFL Database Trends

The field of undefeated teams has been winnowed down to just three heading into week four:  Philadelphia, Arizona and Cincinnati. None of these teams are considered among the elite but opinions might be changing about the likes of San Francisco and Green Bay after last weekend.

Virginia

Not much was expected from the Cavs this season but they showed well in a loss to UCLA and really well in a win over Louisville last week.

[dfads params=’groups=63738&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

They are 3-0 ATS and have a chance to improve on last year overall. In looking at their schedule there is going to be some really hard work ahead for Virginia.

Their conference slate is pretty tough in the second half, though winning at BYU might be as challenging as any of their final games, save a trip up to Tallahassee.

When you look at the numbers on Virginia nothing jumps out in terms of where to pin why they are playing better than expected.

[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

I think that the expectations might have been so low based on recent performance that modest improvement is looking much greater on the field.

More importantly this likely means that this streak of beating the number could and should end in dramatic fashion…like on Saturday.

BYU

It is hard not to be somewhat impressed with the Cougars so far. It looks like a perfect season is very possible and they played very well in their game at Texas, whipping the Longhorns yet again.

The biggest road block right now looks like a trip to play Boise State on the smurf turf.

I am not sure it will be enough but they are looking like the best potential Mid-Major playoff buster right now and Taysom Hill might be the most exciting player in the country.

Hill is second in the nation among quarterback rushing the ball and is no slouch when it comes to passing either.

[dfads params=’groups=63739&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Best of all he gives the Cougars energy and toughness as he is willing to stick his nose into the fray.

For BYU to achieve their goals he needs to keep playing well as it will mean they continue to win and gain attention.

Virginia’s strength is probably its secondary but odds are he won’t find himself in too many must pass situations.

NCAA Football Week #4 Prediction:  4* Free Play on BYU -14.5

This will be UVA’s first trip away from home and it won’t be much fun for the Cavs.

NCAAF Score prediction:  BYU 38 – Virginia 20

BYU is totally underrated in terms of their physicality and they haven’t played a team like that this season. BYU will make it hurt in an easy win.

Chicago

It will be interesting to see whether the Bears can maintain the momentum of their comeback win at San Francisco on Sunday night.

[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

They dominated on the road in the second half, aided by some gaffes from Colin Kaepernick of course but still. It was just the kind of rebound performance Chicago needed after dropping their home opener to Buffalo.

This is a real good opportunity to get another win if they are healthy enough to do so. 

It is nice to see that the receivers, the engine of this club, are not on the injured list coming into this week.

The Jets don’t have the same kind of secondary they have had in the past and I expect that Jay Cutler will be able to find some cracks on one side or the other and make some plays.

[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The fact that the Jets have a strong run defense is likely to be a complete moot issue. 

New York

The Jets may only be 1-1 but they are leading in two generally important categories – rushing yards and rushing yards allowed. Nobody considers this team a real threat so it will be interesting if that trend continues and the results are middling, yet a further indication of the NFL being all about the forward pass.

The Jets have shown to be competitive in both of their contests and that is a trend that I do expect to continue throughout the course of the season. 

The to this one for New York is going to be playing with a lead.

This is not a team built for catchup but if they are out in front they can be methodical with their offense and stay committed to moving it on the ground Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson and even QB Geno Smith sometimes.

[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The minute they have to depend on passing game they are in trouble, especially is Eric Decker can’t answer the bell. 

NFL Football Handicapping Trends

  • Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games on fieldturf.
  • Bears are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.
  • Over is 6-1 in Bears last 7 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.

  • Over is 10-1 in Jets last 11 games in Week 3.
  • Under is 4-1 in Jets last 5 games on fieldturf.
  • Bears are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

NFL Football Week 3 Over Under Prediction:  Chicago +3, Under

Love the value on Chicago here. I would have made them the favourite or at least a pick’em for this one.

NFL Total Score prediction:  Chicago 27 – New York 17

The cushion is nice but I would look strongly at the ML on the Bears as well.
