Last week, I leaned on more unders than usual in what promised to be a grinding weekend of football. It paid off; my official plays went 5-0 and we finished the regular season with a bananas 83-40 record.
Now comes the tricky part; extending that profitability into the postseason. The playoffs are where defenses tend to clamp shut and playbooks are sorted by risk. Expecting conservative totals makes sense. Instead, after looking at the matchups, 40 percent of this week’s plays are counting on tailbacks to do damage on screen passes and wheel routes out of the backfield.
