NFL System Pick of the Week
October 21th 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 7 and made a prediction based on trends that favored a particular team. The computer analyzed several angles in this week's matchup between the Jets and Raiders.

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

›	Jets are 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 visits to the West Coast
	Will the West Coast Hex continue with Rex? Mark Sanchez, a native from Long Beach California, hopes to change this trend. The Jets lost to the Chargers, 49ers, Seahawks, and Raiders in 2008 and didn't cover in any of those games. Last year, the Raiders shocked the Jets 16-13.
›	The Jets are 2-9 ATS as a favorite in their last 11 games
	Clearly, the Jets aren't comfortable as a favorite. The Titans and Rams are the only 2 teams that the Jets have covered against in the last 11 games.
›	The home team is 4-0-1 ATS in last 5 meetings between both teams
›	Jets are 0-4 ATS as a road favorite in their last 4 games

All the trends point towards the Raiders covering the spread against the Jets.
