historical angles for first round? Dogs?

[Matt24]

I thought i remembered someone saying dogs have covered very well the last 5 or 6 years or whatever in the first round? Anyone have this?

i think usually 2 or 3 9 seeds beat 8 seeds.

and what they said 15/16 years a 12 has beat a 5.

MATT...I know last year there were 20-22 dogs covering in the 1st round depending on the lines you got..and i saw a print out last year showing dogs v favs in each round for each round from the last 10 years and there were trends..i do remember that 1st round went back and forth each year...last year i belive recorded the highest # of dogs covering in the 1st round EVER.. I'm pretty sure it has alternated back and forth..more dogs in 1st one year..then more favs in 1st round the next.maybe someone here has it..i'll try to find it and print it...

I think this is the year that the 5-12 upset myth becomes exposed for what it is... a myth


although cuse might be the one to prove me wrong

Honestly, I would go spend 7 bucks on the Goldsheet this week on their website. They have all sorts of past performance history for Favs/Dogs and also breakdowns of all the teams past records in the tourney ATS.

I dont read the writeups on the games until I go over them myself, but the angles and trends are some good info.

No, I do not work for them.
