Christmas, Christmas time is here.
Yes, Jim Feist's 2008 Football Workbook has arrived at PFW world headquarters. So it has been a happy, happy day for yours truly. This contains 10 years of against the spread and Over/Under results for every NFL team and every major college football team you can think of.
I've been thumbing through the book all morning, and here's one handicapping tidbit for each of the 16 American Football Conference member clubs. I bolded the especially interesting ones:
Baltimore: The Ravens were 3-13 against the spread last season and did not cover a SINGLE road game.
Buffalo: The Bills are a robust 11-5 ATS at home in the last two seasons.
Cincinnati: Five of Cincinnati's last six games last season went Under the total.
Cleveland: The Browns were 12-3 ATS in Derek Anderson's starts last season, including a perfect 7-0 at home.
Denver: The Broncos are 5-15 ATS as a favorite in the last two seasons.
Houston: This club was 6-2 ATS at home but 2-6 on the road in '07.
Indianapolis: Colts have failed to cover in four of their last five home games.
Jacksonville: The Jaguars' last 12 games have gone Over the total.
Kansas City: Chiefs were a feeble 1-6-1 ATS at Arrowhead Stadium last season.
Miami: Dolphins are 10-29-1 ATS at home since 2003.
New England: The Pats failed to cover in their last six last season.
N.Y. Jets: They were 0-3-1 as favorites last season.
Oakland: The Raiders haven't covered as a favorite since Week Eight of the 2005 season.
Pittsburgh: The Steelers' last four games in '07 went Over the total, and all cleared the mark by double digits.
San Diego: Chargers covered their last nine games in '07.
Tennessee: Titans covered just three of eight at home last season.
