Welcome to the NFL Week 4 preview! As the new season picks up steam, teams are starting to show their true colors, and with the help of the Raymond Report's 80% Club stats from ATS STATS, we'll dissect some crucial trends to watch for this week.
Dominance at Home
- Dallas Cowboys:
- The Cowboys appear nearly unbeatable as a -7.0 to -9.5 home favorite before a non-division game, boasting an impressive 17-1 SU since 1996. They also show a strong trend of 9-1 SU coming off a road loss as a favorite since '96. With such commanding stats, it's evident that the Cowboys hold their ground when playing under these conditions.
- Green Bay Packers:
- September seems to be the Packers' month when playing at home. They have a 15-1 SU record over the last ten years playing at home in September.
- San Francisco 49ers:
- The 49ers as a -10.0 or more home favorite after a 1 home stand have an enviable 13-1 SU record since 1996. They also continue to dominate with an 11-1 SU when coming off a home win as a favorite in the last decade.
- Indianapolis Colts:
- The Colts as a 0 to -3.0 home favorite coming off an American Conference opponent have a strong 11-1 SU record over the past seven years, and they mirror this trend after a conference game.
Chiefs & Bills – The Traveling Titans
- Kansas City Chiefs:
- When the Chiefs play away, especially before a non-division game, they are a force to reckon with, showing a 24-2 SU in the last five years. They also have an impressive 10-1 SU record when playing away before a non-conference game in the same period.
- Buffalo Bills:
- The Bills seem to thrive after consecutive ATS wins, boasting a 10-1 SU when played at home coming off back-to-back ATS wins in the last seven years.
High Scoring Affairs and Defensive Duels

- Betting the over seems favorable when the Buccaneers are a 0 to 3 away underdog before a conference game in the last decade, with the Over being 10-1-0.

- Conversely, the Under might be the play for the Broncos as an away team before a non-division game in the last two years, showing a 1-9-0 trend.
- Giants:
- The Giants have a pronounced Under trend at home recently, with the Under being 2-11-0 when coming off a loss in the last two years and similarly when coming off a National Conference opponent.

- The Seahawks seem to thrive against the NFC East on the road, posting a 10-2 SU record over the past ten years.
