Recent Performance

Recent performance in the NFL is defined as a two to four game period for Matchup Handicapping. Another important item worth considering is the use of break points. A break point is defined as a separation point between different performance levels for a given NFL team.

Look for a team's consistency over a stretch of games to determine whether recent performance is defined as two, three or four games.

The use of break points is a valuable handicapping tool for the NFL. It helps isolate more specific “current” performance levels of the NFL combatants. Since the vast majority of NFL handicappers and bettors look for consistent patterns of play in order to gauge how well teams are playing and formulate educated opinions on the games, break points are extremely relevant in the handicapping effort. And, anything that gets the attention of cappers and bettors certainly bears consideration from the linesmaker.
