Hot Favorites in Tight Recent Games
How This System Works
This system triggers when a team has an average margin of victory or defeat of 2.725 points or less over their last 10 games, has averaged more than 116.45 points over their last 5 games, has an exponentially weighted moving average margin of -2.6896 or lower (indicating recent losses by approximately 2.7 points on average), and has won more than 53% of their games. These conditions together identify a team that has been losing narrowly in recent games while scoring at a high rate, despite maintaining a winning record for the season overall.
Backs teams with win rates above 53% that have been in close contests recently (average 10-game margin under 2.7 points), are currently scoring at a high pace (over 116 points per 5 games), but show negative momentum in their recent weighted margin.
