Very supported by the numbers, it has been our theory that as technology has greatly increased media scrutiny, teams have more of a sense of urgency, perhaps subconsious, to rebound from suspect preseason performances. A quality outing decreases such.

Teams that scored three or fewer points in the first half of their last game playing a team off a double-digit win are 34-11. Going against home teams of a game in which they had a great turnover margin is 62-36 since 1993. Many angles deal with betting on winless teams off a loss as a favorite, etc.
