Some coaches may agree, or disagree, but the NFLX week 3 is a dress rehersal for week 1, as the starters get a lot of minutes, and teams find out where they stand on both sides of the ball.<!--more-->I decided to take a look at 2 things, as it relates to what significance week 3 in the NFLX has on game one of the opening season, and also take a look at NFLX totals that are 40 or higher. First, let&#8217;s start with week 3 of the NFLX, and if it is a predictor of what will happen in week 1 of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/306\/Mr.%20East\/AF23_15\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO VIEW MR. EAST&#8217;S DAILY PICKS PAGE ONLINE \u2014-&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is not a lot of data, but what it does show, is their is a negative correlation to winning ATS in week 3 of the NFLX, vs winning in week 1 ATS. Last year, in NFL week 1, there were 5 matchups, of teams that won ATS in week 3 of the NFLX, playing against teams that lost in week 3 of the NFLX ATS. The results show that the losers of week 3 of the NFLX ATS, that played against winners, won the ATS battle in week one by a 3-2 score or 60%. Going back to the 2007 season, losers prevailed once again in week 1, where they went 2-1 ATS, and similar results in 2006, as the losres prevailed 3-1 ATS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x160\/250x160g-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That shows 3 straight years, albeit very few games, where the losers came out in the money, with an overall win rate of 67% (8-4). This may be meaningless based on how few games, but something to watch going forward, and if nothing else, it says beware of putting a few sheckles on the week 3 NFLX ATS winner vs a loser in game 1.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at NFLX totals, it is not very often you see them set at 40 or higher, as scoring is usually minimized.<\/p>\n<p>So is there value on any given game when the oddsmakers reach up and touch the 40 marker in NFLX games?<\/p>\n<p>There is apparently something to look at here. Games with a posted total of 40 or higher since 1996 in NFLX games have gone 58-45 to the UNDER which is 56.3%.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at strictly week 3 games, when the oddsmakers treat these games more like a regular season game, which they are not, that under percentage jumps to 58.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like something to put in your arsenol and at the very least, if you don&#8217;t like the under in the totals set at 40+, it may be a good idea to stay away from the over!
