NFL System Pick of the Week
November 4th 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 9 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 Saints.

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

›	Panthers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in New Orleans
	Not only that, the Panthers have won 7 games straight up in New Orleans. Clearly the Panthers like life on Bourbon St.
›	The Road team is 13-2 ATS in their last 15 meetings
	87% of the time the road team covers. You can hardly call this a trend anymore, it is almost a reality that the away team is going to cover.
›	Panthers are 3-0 SU when the Saints played a game on Monday Night
	Amazingly, the Panthers have faced the Saints three times after the Saints were played in a Monday Night Football game. Whatever the reason, short preparation week or a letdown after a big Monday game, the Panthers have won all 3 games.

All the trends point towards the Panthers covering the spread against the Saints.
