New York Giants at Washington Redskins: Week 13 NFL Pick

stevenlourie 2012 NFL Picks, 2012 Week 13 NFL Picks, Commanders, Giants

New York Giants (7-4) at Washington Redskins (5-6)

Since Tom Coughlin took over as Head Coach of the New York Giants before the 2004 season, the Giants have always been a much better 1st half of the season team than 2nd half of the season team. In the first 8 games of the season, they are 53-19 and in the 2nd half, they are 28-39. Not so coincidentally, Eli Manning’s play seems to dip in the 2nd half of the season as well, as he completes 57% of his passes for an average of 6.7 YPA and 89 touchdowns to 79 interceptions in the 2nd half, as opposed to 60% of his passes for an average of 7.4 YPA and 111 touchdowns to 61 interceptions in the first half.

The Giants definitely had a bounce back week last week, after looking their last two and losing poised to have another 2nd half slump, but that doesn’t mean everything is turned around necessarily. Of those 28 wins, 10 of them have come by 14 or more. They’ve had big wins in the 2nd half of the season in the past and it hasn’t meant their season has been turned around and I don’t think that is the case this season. In fact, after those 10 games, they are just 3-5 SU (2 of them were playoff games so I threw those out, because playoffs are a different story). They’re also just 8-8 SU, 7-9 ATS (-6.1 points ATS per game), as favorites off a win in the 2nd half of the season under Tom Coughlin.

It’s important to note that their win last week has made it so that they are publicly backed this week. Not only do they tend to have let down games when people believe in them (especially after such a big win when the public was doubting them), but the odds makers always win in the long run, so I like to fade the public as much as I can. It’s never a bad thing to be on the same side as the odds makers. It’s also important to note that they lost key safety Kenny Phillips with an injury. He returned for the Green Bay game and had a real impact, both with his play at safety and allowing Antrel Rolle to be used in his traditional role closer to the line of scrimmage, before getting hurt again.

I really don’t think the Giants will make the playoffs. They are 7-4 right now with a tough upcoming schedule. They go to Washington this week, then host the Saints, go to the Falcons and Ravens, before an easy week 17 game against Philadelphia. Every year, there are 5 new playoff teams and that can’t happen this year unless the Giants miss the playoffs. Indianapolis and Chicago look like locks to be 2 of the 5 and the only 4 other candidates really are Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Seattle, and Washington.

Because Minnesota, Tampa Bay, and Seattle can’t win their divisions and are all in the same conference, only 2 of those 3 teams can make it, which means if that’s going to happen for the 18th straight year, the Redskins basically have to make the playoffs, unless someone like Miami or San Diego can steal Pittsburgh’s spot (a long shot). Washington’s schedule down the stretch is pretty easy. If they can win here, they’d be a game back with a home game against Baltimore, road games in Cleveland and Philadelphia, and a home game for the Cowboys. I think both teams finish 9-7 and the Redskins win it on a tiebreaker. They absolutely need to win here to keep hope alive of not just winning the division, but of continuing something that’s happened for 17 straight years and counting.

I originally thought the Cowboys would take the NFC East from the Giants, but the Redskins threw themselves right back into the mix with a win in Dallas last week, something I should have seen coming. I didn’t realize the Redskins could have been where they are now if they beat Dallas. I definitely gave up on this young team too early. There’s a lot to like with them. They rank 18th in net points per game, 14th in DVOA, and 13th in weighted DVOA. Only one of their losses was by more than a touchdown and they easily could be 8-3 or 7-4 right now. Robert Griffin is really on fire right now, especially with Pierre Garcon returning from injury.

The net yards per play method of computing real line says the Giants are getting a little bit of line value here, as it says this line should be New York -4, with the Giants 6th in net points per drive and the Redskins 18th, but DVOA tells a slightly different story. DVOA is net points per drive based, but takes other things like strength of schedule into account, so I like to look at it to compare to net points per drive when computing real line. The Giants are 7th in DVOA and weighted DVOA (which weights more recent games heavier), while the Redskins are 14th and 13th in those respectively, which is a smaller gap.

Taking into account that the Redskins are finally healthier, the Redskins are 5-2 ATS as dogs this season, the Giants are without key safety Kenny Phillips, the Giants tend to struggle in the 2nd half of the season, divisional home dogs tend to cover after a win as divisional road dogs (28-14 ATS since 1989), and that history basically mandates the Redskins win here, I like the Redskins for a significant play.

Washington Redskins: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#18)

stevenlourie 2012 NFL Power Rankings, 2012 Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, Commanders

Last week: 22 (+4)

Record: 4-6

Despite, the Redskins’ sub .500 record, they do have a positive points differential, at +3. In fact, their points differential is actually better than that of the Cowboys, their 5-5 opponent this week, who is -13. This is because the Redskins have only lost 1 game by more than a touchdown (27-12 at Pittsburgh), despite their record. Of their 4 wins, 2 have come by more than a touchdown, including a 25 point win against Philadelphia last week. In games decides by a touchdown or less, they are just 2-5.

I think Griffin is definitely the rookie of the year. Both Luck and Griffin are really working with not much of a supporting cast, but despite Luck’s 6-4 record, the Colts are actually -50. Of their 4 losses, 3 have come by 20 or more, while only one of their 6 wins was by more than a touchdown. Luck is 5-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less and he’s been better on 3rd downs, but overall, Griffin is posting much, much better stats. Stats aren’t everything, but the difference is so noticeable. Griffin’s QB rating is 101.0, while Luck’s is just 77.2. Griffin has 613 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. Luck has 163 yards and 5 touchdowns. It’s not much of a contest.

Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys: Week 12 NFL Pick

stevenlourie 2012 NFL Picks, 2012 Week 12 NFL Picks, Commanders, Cowboys

Washington Redskins (4-6) at Dallas Cowboys (5-5)

People really seem to have soured on the Cowboys after their near loss to the Browns last week. This line was at Dallas -6 last week and now it’s at -3 and the public is still pounding the underdog. The fact that the public is pounding the underdog is very important because the public has lost a lot of money over the past 3 weeks with 2 losing weeks, including a massive losing week in week 9. They’ll eventually make that money back, so I wouldn’t want to bet a public dog this week. Public dogs covering especially hurt the odds makers because they need favorites and dogs to cover evenly, but also to make money. The public tends to prefer favorites, but when they prefer a dog, it’s normally a risky bet, especially given what’s happened in the last few weeks. The odds makers always win in the long run.

I also think the line movement is a huge overreaction. Yes, the Cowboys barely beat the Browns, but so has everyone who has played them. Cincinnati beat them by just a touchdown in Cincinnati and then lost to them in the rematch in Cleveland. The Colts only beat them by 4 in Indianapolis and could have easily lost if Josh Gordon didn’t drop an easy touchdown. The Giants trailed 14-0 to them early and beat them by 14 in a game that was a lot closer than the finally score.

They went down to the final play with the Ravens in Baltimore and, then in the rematch in Cleveland, they actually scored more frequently than the Ravens, who were coming off a bye. The problem was their 5 scores were all field goals and the Ravens scored 3 touchdowns and a field goal. Still, that game was not as close as the final score. They’re not getting run out of the stadium by anyone, so I don’t understand why this line moved 3 points just because the Cowboys played them close. I know the Redskins also blew out the Eagles in the last week, but is that really that impressive? The Eagles suck. The Cowboys blew them out too and in Philadelphia. I love betting against overreactions.

Besides the fact that the Browns always play teams close, the Cowboys’ near loss last week wasn’t that surprising. The Cowboys struggle as home favorites expect for on Thanksgiving (more on that later) and teams tend to struggle as favorites before being divisional favorites on Thursday Night. It’s very, very possible they just overlooked the Browns because they had this game 4 days later. They won’t overlook the Redskins.

As you can expect, we’re getting some line value with the Cowboys. It’s not a ton, but using the rate of sustaining drives differential method, we get a real line of Dallas -4 and using the yards per play differential method, we get a real line of Dallas -3. The Cowboys are the better team, but this line says they’re even (3 points for home field advantage).

Speaking of home field advantage, Tony Romo has never lost a November home game, including 5 Thanksgiving home games. He’s only once failed to cover at home on Thanksgiving (4-1 ATS). The Cowboys tend to struggle as home favorites in general (9-16 ATS since 2009, including last week), but in November and on Thanksgiving in general, they typically do really well. I also don’t really trust Robert Griffin on the road on a short week. As talented as he is, it’s really tough for young teams to travel on a short week. I like the Cowboys for a significant play. I also like the under because the under is 72-53 on Thursdays since 1989.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins: Week 11 NFL Pick

stevenlourie 2012 NFL Picks, 2012 Week 11 NFL Picks, Commanders, Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) at Washington (3-6)

This line has shifted 2 points since last week because of Michael Vick’s injury (-1.5 last week to -3.5 this week), which makes no sense because Michael Vick sucks. Nick Foles went 22 of 32 for 219 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception in relief of Vick last week. He didn’t look as good as those numbers, but he was facing a solid defense and didn’t get any first team reps all season.

This week, he gets a full week of reps with the first team and to face the Redskins’ 27th ranked pass defense. He should be able to have a strong game against them, something I don’t know if Vick could have done. Vick only led the Eagles to 13 points against the Saints’ last ranked pass defense so I don’t understand this line shifting 2 points because of Vick getting hurt.

We’re getting a little bit of line value with the Eagles now that the line has shifted. The Eagles rank 18th in yards per play differential and 16th in rate of sustaining drives differential, while the Redskins rank 20th in yards per play differential and 15th in rate of sustaining drives differential. These two teams are about even. The yards per play differential method of computing line value says that Washington should be -2.5 at home (3 points for home field), while the rate of sustaining drives differential method says this line should be -3.

This is also the exact type of game Andy Reid thrives in. He’s best when being doubted (the public is all over Washington), when he’s a road dog, when he’s coming off a losing streak, and in the latter part of the season. Since the Eagles hired him way back in 1999, he’s 8-5 ATS on a 3+ game losing streak and 4-1 ATS on a 4+ game losing streak (last week was the first time he failed to cover in this situation). I didn’t like them last week because of Vick, but now with Foles, they might actually be better off and they’re certainly going to be more undervalued and more likely to be overlooked.

Also last week, the Eagles were home dogs and Andy Reid is about .500 as home dogs in his career. However, as road dogs, he’s 37-20 ATS, including 16-8 ATS in the division. He’s also 65-42 ATS after week 10, including 22-10 ATS as road dogs after week 10. Another spot that the Eagles weren’t in last week, they’re now dogs before being favorites. Teams are 95-50 ATS in this spot since 2011, including 23-11 ATS as divisional dogs before being non-divisional favorites (they host Carolina next week). Besides, Andy Reid needs this game to keep his job. If Foles impresses down the stretch, the Eagles will keep him around to develop the quarterback he drafted, his specialty.

Meanwhile, the Redskins are divisional home favorites before being divisional road dogs as they head to Dallas next week. Teams are 14-47 ATS in this spot since 2002, an incredibly powerful trend. That game is also just 4 days after this one, on Thanksgiving. Favorites are just 23-36 ATS before a divisional Thursday Night game since 1989, 14-23 ATS before being divisional favorites. I also like that the Redskins are pretty heavily bet by the public. Not only does it mean no one believes in the Eagles (when they play best), the public always loses money in the long run. It’s a big play on Nick Foles and the Eagles.

Public lean: Washington (70% range)

Carolina Panthers at Washington Redskins: Week 9 NFL Pick

stevenlourie 2012 Week 9 NFL Picks, Commanders, Panthers

Carolina Panthers (1-6) at Washington Redskins (3-5)

This is one of two trap lines I identified this week. According to this line, the Redskins and the Panthers are comparable teams with Washington as 3 point home favorites. However, Washington is at 3-5 and the Panthers are at 1-6. Because of that, the action is on Washington and yet, the line is still falling as it opened at -4. As is almost always the case, when something is too good to be true with betting, it usually is. Let’s look at some reasons why this line makes more sense than it first appears to.

For one, the trends are against Washington. Favorites before being dogs off a loss as dogs are 56-81 ATS since 2008. That makes sense. This type of game tends to be a breather game. They’ve just suffered a loss to a tough opponent and they have enough tough opponent coming up. They could easily see this is an “easy win” game just to get back on track and get caught overlooking their opponent. The Redskins are coming off a loss to the Steelers and in their next game they host the Eagles and they probably will be dogs in that one.

The Redskins are going on bye next, but that doesn’t seem to have much effect on this spread. Teams in this situation before a bye are 2-6 ATS since 2008. Going back to 1989 to get more of a sample size, teams are 22-33 ATS in this spot. Anyone can win on any given Sunday in the NFL and the Redskins aren’t good enough to overlook an opponent and still win. They are really just Robert Griffin. As we saw against Pittsburgh, they live and die with him. Carolina was the exact same way last season and they still are this year, with Cam Newton. Newton is struggling this year, but you have to like his chances to get back on track against Washington’s crappy defense. If that happens, the Panthers can definitely win a shootout.

The Panthers are in a good spot as road dogs off of a road loss. Teams are 77-47 ATS as road dogs off a road loss. Off a road loss of 1-3, teams are 17-6 ATS as road dogs, including 14-5 ATS when their previous game was one in which they were dogs. If we go back to 2002 to get a larger sample size, those trends are 39-23 ATS and 32-17 ATS respectively.

Looking at the methods of calculating real line, this line makes sense. Using the yards per play differential method, this one should actually be Carolina -0.5 thanks to Carolina’s 5th place rank in yards per play differential. However, Carolina is one of the reasons I decided to create a complimentary statistic known as rate of sustaining drives to use along with yards per play to determine “real” line.

Yards per play overrates teams that get a lot of big plays, but struggle to stay on the field or don’t allow a lot of big plays, but struggle to get off the field defensively. Those are the exact same teams rate of sustaining drives differential underrates because what rate of sustaining drives differential cares about is how often you convert a given set of downs for a first down or a score in comparison to how often your defense allows the opponent to do so. Because of this, they work in tandem well together.

Sure enough, Carolina is really bad in this statistic, ranking 29th. Still, in spite of that, that metric gives us a real line of just Washington -9. If we average those two out, we get right between -4 and -4.5. We’re getting a line bit of line value with the Redskins, but not much and it still makes this line make a lot more sense. Washington is awfully banged up right now and the trends favor Carolina. I’m not going to fall for this trap line, so I’m taking the road team.

Public lean: Washington (new thing I’m adding, siding with the odds makers on bets is not a bad thing to do since they make so much money, so I’m listing this here to allow readers to “fade” the public, if they so choose, in this example, the odds makers win if Carolina covers)

Sharps lean: CAR 7 WAS 5

Final update: This is one of my only big plays that doesn’t coincidence with a heavy sharps lean, but I have no reason to change this pick. I still like Carolina.

Washington Redskins: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#18)

stevenlourie 2012 NFL Power Rankings, 2012 Week 9 NFL Power Rankings, Commanders

Last week: 18 (-1)

Record: 3-5

Robert Griffin had the worst game of his career, going 16 of 34 for 177 yards and a touchdown, last week against the Steelers, but you can’t really blame him. For one, he endured 7 drops. Two, Steelers’ defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is a ridiculous 14-1 as Steelers’ defensive coordinator against rookies. Even with a banged up defensive squad, he was able to scheme against Griffin and hold him in check. Griffin should bounce back next week, but that 15 point loss was by far their biggest of the season and it just proves how dependant they are on Griffin, still a rookie quarterback, especially with all of their injuries.
