2008 TRENDS & TENDENCIES NEWSLETTER

Issue # 8

Games through October 20, 2008



Welcome to Issue # 8 for 2008. Most of what you need to know about the selections in this Newsletter was covered in Issue # 1. As a rule we have very little commentary and get right to the selections each issue. If certain points arise that are worth noting we'll mention them. Otherwise, keep in mind that selections are based entirely upon historical factors involving each team, representing just one school of handicapping philosophy. These selections answer the question " Based upon the public's perception of both teams over the past several seasons, which team is better situated to exceed public expectations? "

With the preliminaries out of the way, let's get to this week's selections.
