Eagles Bettors Should be Happy that Gene Steratore is Working
Steratore was assigned the Super Bowl last week and brings 15 years of officiating experience into the game (12 years as referee) and it will be his first appearance in a Super Bowl.
During the regular season, Steratore worked 15 games, with favorites going 12-3 straight up and 8-5-2 against the spread. OVERs had a slight edge in totals, going 8-6-1 in those contests. He worked two Pats games (Week 7 vs the Falcons, Week 13 at Buffalo) and one Eagles game (Week 9 vs the Broncos) with the two Super Bowl LII participants winning and covering the spread.
As far as his playoff career is concerned, this will be his 10th game as referee. So far, underdogs have made out quite well, going 4-5 SU and 6-3 ATS.
Perhaps more interestingly, though, is the Eagles’ success with Steratore working their games. The Eagles have played 13 games since 2007 with Steratore and have gone 10-3 SU and 9-4 ATS. A more recent sample size reveals a five-game SU winning streak (4-1 ATS) and a mark of 9-1 SU since December 7, 2008.
This referee data here goes back to 2012 and the Eagles’ 5-1 SU record in Steratore games is tied for the best among NFL referees (with at least five games worked) with Clete Blakeman. As far as the spread goes, Philly’s 4-2 ATS record ranks fourth behind Ed Hochuli’s 6-1 ATS, Blakeman’s 5-1 ATS and Walt Coleman’s 5-2 ATS records.
As far as the Pats are concerned, there isn’t too much that pops off the page. The Pats have a SU winning percentage of 79.0 since the start of 2007 (regular season only) and an ATS winning percentage of 60.9. In Steratore’s games, the SU percentage dips a little to 73.3 (11-4 SU) while the ATS percentage drops to 57.1 (8-6 ATS with one push).
Thursday useless trend ...
Brady 3-0 vs. bird teams in the Super Bowl
Early consensus picks:
61% OVER 48.5 (5dimes)
54% Eagles +5 (Intertops)
Nevada sportsbooks have won money on 25 of the last 27 Super Bowls.
They lost roughly $2.5 million in 2008 (Giants beat Patriots 17-14 as 12-point underdogs) and roughly $400,000 in 1995 (49ers beat Chargers 49-26 as 18.5-point favorites).
The team that has won the Super Bowl has covered the game outright 88% of the time. That’s 45 of 51 Super Bowls. The normal NFL average for teams that cover when they win is around 80%.
New England has played in two of the six Super Bowls where teams won but did not cover.
Those came in 2005 (24-21 win over Philadelphia at -7) and in 2004 (a 32-29 win over Carolina at -7).
Both were very big wins for the house of 17% and 15.3% respectively.
Since 1984, the NFC has gone 6-2 SU and ATS when No. 1 conference seeds face off in the Super Bowl (5-3 OU).
The team that won the game also covered the spread all eight times.
Yards per play is a common stat viewed by professional bettors to handicap football games.
The Eagles have a +0.5 net yards per play, which is slightly better than the Patriots at +0.3 net yards per play.
Brady has averaged 296 passing yards in his seven Super Bowls.
The OVER/UNDER on his passing yards this Super Bowl is set at 285.5 (-125 over)
New England hasn't scored in the 1st quarter of any of their Super Bowls
