Does anyone have the stats for this year and past years for teams that cover on Monday night and fail to cover the following week? This year it seems that the MNF cover teams have failed to cover every time the following week. Does it matter if the cover team is at home or on the road? I'm asking because the Packers have opened at -4.5 against the Eagles at Lambeau.

If my numbers are correct for 2014, it breaks down like this:

MNF cover teams are 2-7 the next week vs the spread.
Home teams are 2-3 the next week (Chargers & Steelers)
Road teams are 0-4 the next week.

Does anyone have these trends for the past few years?

lol, I'm trying to understand this data. My hunch is that teams that cover the spread on MNF usually fail to cover the spread the following week. It would make sense that playing on Monday night and then going on the road the following week would really impact the week of preparation for the following game. Plus an impressive showing on Monday night would inflate the public perception of that team going into the next week.

Based on watching the Eagles last night, they dominated the game with the help of special teams and turnovers. I can't see that happening again next Sunday versus the Packers and Rodgers. This is Rodgers versus Sanchez, not Newton versus Sanchez this week. I think this sets up nicely for the Packers and an early -4.5 line. I've always had a rule not to bet on a team the week after they cover on MNF.

I'm not much of a handicapper, I'm more of a follower of other good cappers but this seems like an opportunity to play on a good team at home and against a MNF cover the previous week.
