Around the NFL Week 7

Definitely wouldn't say the Skins have no shot. West coast teams playing 1:00 games on the east coast are definitely at a disadvantage. Could be a code red trap game for the 49ers.

Also are the niners really a 6-0 team? I just see trap as well, maybe I'm wrong

We'll find out on Sunday. Niners probably win this one, but I don't think it's going to be a gimme by any means. I look for the Skins to come out with some things on offense that they haven't shown yet...Hell we have a FULLBACK now! Can't wait to see how he is incorporated. If they can score 20 and hold Breida and Coleman in check - who knows...

I was VERY intrigued to see this. The times we experimented in preseason seemed to work out really well.

Let’s use historical NFL betting trends to analyze if west coast teams traveling east actually struggle.

From 2003 to 2018, west coast teams have gone 80-133 (37.6%) straight up when playing on the east coast. That is a 37.6% win percentage.

Let’s compare that to the against the spread records during the same time period. West coast teams are 102-105-6 ATS when playing on the road against an east coast team for a win percentage of 49.3%.

The losing ATS record confirms that historically west coast teams do actually underperform when traveling east.

Next, let’s split the data to see if that NFL betting trend has changed over time. From 2003 to 2012, west coast teams were 57-71-3 ATS when playing in the eastern time zone for a win percentage of 44.5%. However, since 2013 west coast teams actually have had a winning ATS record when playing on the east coast at 57.0% with a 45-34-3 ATS record.

That is significant because it signals two things. First, that NFL oddsmakers are leaning towards the west coast visiting team when setting the spread and/or west coast teams have learned how to travel east and win.

“Adjusting odds for travel is a somewhat antiquated method nowadays,” Odds consultant Scott Cooley told SportsInsights. “The physicality and psychology of athletes these days is far advanced from what it was a decade ago. West Coast teams traveling east for an early start time prepare all week with that in mind.”

And for as well as teams have traveled east, there’s still typically slow starts that take time to shake off. SportsInsights’ research shows that West Coast teams play better in the second half than the first half in 1 p.m. ET starts.

Also are the niners really a 6-0 team? I just see trap as well, maybe I'm wrong

I seriously doubt a team that has won 6 or less games the last 4 seasons is going to over look any opponent. Pretty sure there are plenty of guys left from the 2-14 team of a couple years ago, and they will remember all the butt whippings they took and want to dish some out.

The Niners have had some bad times too,so they won't look past us,we in trouble.

Kc loss 3 in a row? Unlikely...take kc and the points.

Flacco always this bad?

Raiders just saw a big door open

If Pat is down 4-8 weeks that would kill them
