2011 NFL Over/Under Challenge - Pick Analysis and Observations

On the heels of the recent Happy Days-inspired post, the Locks follows up with some quick observations on the 21 entries that are alive and battling for O/U supremacy.  Here are some details that you may or may not find interesting as the 2011 NFL season gets under way:

All 32 NFL teams appear at least once as an Over or Under

13 teams were picked as both Overs and Unders

6 teams appeared only as Unders

13 teams appeared only as Overs

The greatest consensus came on the Unders and the most disliked teams included:

•  49ers (or FortyWhiners as they were referred to on at least one entry) – 9 entries (a whopping 43% of all entries included the Niners as an under – Alex Smith just threw up in his mouth)
• Bengals (or Bungles as they were referred to on at least one entry) – 8 entries
• Dolphins - 7 entries
• Giants and Buccaneers - 5 entries each

The Overs were much more spread out with 5 being the greatest number of entries any one team appeared on:

• Rams and Chargers - 5 entries each
• Steelers, Lions, Cardinals, Bills and Patriots - 4 entries each

The only teams that were not picked at least one time as an Over:

• 49ers, Packers, Dolphins, Chiefs, Bengals and Bears

The least selected teams overall:

• Saints and Ravens - only appear as one Over each (no Unders)

The teams that the pool is most conflicted about:

• Lions - 4 Overs and 3 Unders

• Raiders - 3 Overs and 3 Unders

GOOD LUCK!
