Some bettors interpret this as both teams being undervalued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Margin of cover is a long-time tool of original cappers used to measure the reliability of the often-deceptive ATS and OU records. It is much like margin of victory, except it measures margin relative to the point spread or OU. With over-under, \u201covers\u201d are listed first. Some Johnny-Come-Lately handicappers call this the sweat barometer.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/memphis-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19331\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcb0\ud83d\udcb0\ud83d\udcb0Top expert pick is from Joe Duffy.&nbsp;A&nbsp;<em>4-0 college basketball sweep leads us to a winning day!<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em>It starts early this week!<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>First two winners are up this week, Tuesday college football.<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Inspired by Billy Walters and the Vegas Computer Boys, Joe Duffy has been for decades the top data scientist in sports handicapping.&nbsp;<strong>NBA Wise Guy added.<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?Page=Packages\">Get the picks now<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[table id=2 \/]&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free NBA pick from the top basketball capper in history, Joe Duffy.&nbsp; MEMPHIS +3.5 New Orleans&nbsp; Going with teams off a spread loss versus an opponent off a spread win is 629-474-19 under specific situations that apply in this game.
