NFL Weekend System Play... - Sports handicapping Forum

Any team that eliminates the defending Super Bowl champ in the Wild Card or division playoffs are 0-9 straight up the following week."

SYSTEM: Play AGAINST the team that beats the defending Super Bowl champs in the playoffs if their next game is NOT the Super Bowl.

REASONING: Beating the Super Bowl champs requires a great deal of emotional effort. Teams are not able to regroup after doing so unless they have that week off prior to the Super Bowl to reenergize. Since 1982, this situation has occured 8 times and the teams that knocked off the defending Super Bowl champs are 0-8 SU AND ATS. The most recent being 2001, when the Steelers beat the Ravens in the playoffs only to lose SU the following week to the Patriots as double digit home favorites

So since everyone thought the Colts were going, would this play well for a big Steeler Loss?

No this means to bet against Denver since they defeated the defending SB champs NE and the next game is not the SB it is against Pitt, so look for a big Pitt win

only problem is that the steelers were the ones with the more emotional win last week
