NFL System Pick of the Week
October 14th 2009 - by Computer            

In this article, we let our computer pick this week's football game. Our computer crunched all the betting statistics for week 6 and made a prediction based on trends that favored a particular team. The computer analyzed several angles in this week's matchup between the Panthers and Buccaneers.

Let's take a look at all the angles/trends:
 

›	Panthers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite
	Something has to give this week as the Panthers have yet to cover a single game in 2009 and the Bucs have only covered once as a underdog in Washington.
›	The Bucs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games
	The Bucs have also lost 9 straight games. This losing streak started back in week 14 of the 2008 season when the Bucs lost to the Panthers 38-23.
›	The favorite is 4-1 ATS in last 5 meetings between both teams
›	Bucs are 1-6 ATS as a homedog in their last 7 home games

All the trends point towards the Panthers covering the spread in Tampa Bay.
