will take a look at the O/U's

Here's a weekly recap of totals to consider when looking at O/U's:
Week 1: 5-16 games went over, or 38%.
Week 2: 7-16 games went over, or 44%.
Week 3: 9-16 games went over, or 56%.
Week 4: 10-13 games went over, or 77%.

Cumulative of all NFL games to date, 31-61 games have gone over, or 51%. I'm keeping a running total of this each week for my use only. I absolutely refuse to bet an under in any capacity. If I don't like the point total, I won't bet it. I'm not saying that is the way to go, but will not watch a game with money on it and root for turnovers, long excruciating drives, and punts. Just by seeing the upward trend of the last two weeks on totals, 66% of the games to over their point totals. This means it took teams the first two weeks to get their identity and for Vegas to also pinpoint who they are.

Just a little food for thought going forward.
