Take The Home Team 75 Percent Of The Time
When you practice document the top five home team picks against the top five road team picks, at the end of the season you should have a total of 75 picks in each category.

I believe this is because the home team is more likely to have fewer turnovers and more momentum during the game. Trust me, it works the same with underdogs….you will find the home underdogs always outperform the road underdogs. I know the line is supposed to take this into consideration, but the chances for profitable results are better with the home team.
