I've already posted rants on how Thursday games ruin stats, I've seen someone else call it the curse of Thursday night football. It just seems like the traveling teams on short weeks always have someone suck it up on Thursday night. See the following:
Week 1 - Omit this week, it's not a short week since its the first game
Week 2 - Chicago @ Green Bay - Marshall 2/21/0 - This game was bad for pretty much everyone on Chicago
Week 3 - NYG @ Carolina - Cruz 6/42/0 - Backups (who didn't play) lit them up
Week 4 - Cleveland @ Baltimore - Richardson was ok here, everyone else on the Browns, not so good
Week 5 - Arizona @ St Louis - Cards were terrible 45 rushing yards, no Ari touchdowns
Week 6 - Pittsburgh @ Tennessee - Brown 4/20 - Ben throws 1 TD - Although Wallace got around 100 yards, it was on 2 receptions. Pittsburgh was supposed to kill em
Some of these weeks the home teams weren't great either. Can't say all studs are going to suck it up if traveling for Thursday, but I'd consider downgrading them. Coming up:
Week 7 - Seattle
Week 8 - Tampa Bay
Week 9 - KC
Week 10 - Indy
Week 11 - Miami
Week 12 - Houston and New England
Week 13 - New Orleans
Week 14 - Denver
Week 15 - Cincy
Week 16 - Atlanta
It seems like every Thursday game never goes as the analysts predict, as a betting man I'm staying away from these games if I can.
