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.
