Covers.com "headline" game. Good fade?

[ppeter]

Yesterday, Covers.com featured a headline saying that Columbia +14 was a great play since Princeton's star guard was out. Everybody and their mother jumped on Columbia because of that. Princeton blew them out wire-to-wire and Columbia lost the half and the game.

Tomorrow, Covers.com is saying a "well rested" Stanford team should blow Oregon as 14 point favs.

Question: Are Covers "headline" plays good fades?

I would say no, I am sure that the headline picks do pretty well or they will stop posting them altogether. They only post these picks in hopes that you will one day pay a tout from the site I think.

That being said, anyone laying a 14 point juice with Stanford needs to check into a hospital if that is there pick of the day!


I mean we have about 85 games to choose from and you take a favorite at over 7 points??? HAS to better game than this one if you like the favorite!

I remember the legendary GOLD SHEET featured games were always a major fade.

However, even have said that, a quality and first rate publication.

One of my all-time favs.

The wrong assumption would be that their "headline" game must be good or else they would not post it.

Track them all and let the stats show the value.
