monday night trend for SD / Pitt game

[3pointdog]

can any of you stat guys confirm this one... I have heard it before but wanted to make sure as it does NOT come up all that often:

[FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]unique time zone situation that plays on West Coast teams playing in night games against teams from the Eastern Time Zone that is [/FONT]11-1 ATS.[FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif] The concept of that situation is to play on teams whose body clocks are most in sync with peak performance times, while the opponents’ is not.[/FONT]

[FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]is that stat true?? i like the idea, similar to west teams going ease and playing in the morning... east to west in a night game , not as often... [/FONT]

[FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]although as i writ this, det covered last mon night at Seattle so now maybe 11-2 ... but what is the ATS really???[/FONT]

[FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]thanks in advance[/FONT]

Here's an article on it. I think West Coast teams, in general, do well in primetime vs east coast teams. Trying to find stats... if anyone has them, much appreciated if you can share.

I don't think it works as well as it once did......I know that Dallas isn't on the far west coast, but the Skins went in there last year on Monday night & won SU as a +9 point road dog.

Dallas is in the Central Time Zone?? Dallas is closer to the East Coast than it is to the West Coast, not sure how they would even remotely apply??

Texas is just a tad bit closer to the east coast than the west.

Right, so I would say excluding it from any trends specific to "west coast" teams is probably a good idea. They're no more of a west coast team than Minnesota, KC or St. Louis.
