Football Point Spread
"A FACT OR FICTION"
MATT B
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if either the favorite or the underdog won more games both including and excluding the point spread. To carry out this experiment, every week for 7 consecutive weeks, the winner of all games was observed and the hypothesis was checked. A conclusion was made after seeing the results. The results were that when there is a point spread the favorite won 56 out of 103 games and the underdog won 47 out of 103 games. Without a point spread the favorite won 71 out of 103 games and the underdog won 32 out of 103 games. It was concluded that the favorite was dominant in both categories.
