Understanding spreads and how certain teams perform ATS will give you an edge to beat your friends in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.articles.runyourpool.com\/nfl-survivor-pools.cfm\">Survivor Pool<\/a>. In this series, we profile two divisions per week and offer up free tips, or identify survivor traps, in each team\u2019s 2023 schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFC North &#8211; Detroit\u2019s Division<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NFC North was 32-35-2 (47%) overall ATS in 2022. The Lions were by far the most consistent option, ending the season as a net winner in every top-line category. Green Bay was middling but better as an underdog. Chicago was terrible away but good as a \u2018dog. The Vikings were favored far too often, it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2022 Record ATS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Team<\/td><td>ATS (ALL)<\/td><td>AWAY<\/td><td>HOME<\/td><td>\u2018DOG<\/td><td>FAV.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chicago<\/td><td>5-11-1<\/td><td>2-6<\/td><td>3-5-1<\/td><td>5-2<\/td><td>0-1-1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Detroit<\/td><td>12-5<\/td><td>5-3<\/td><td>7-2<\/td><td>8-3<\/td><td>3-2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Green Bay<\/td><td>8-9<\/td><td>4-4<\/td><td>4-4<\/td><td>4-2<\/td><td>4-7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minnesota<\/td><td>7-10-1<\/td><td>3-3-1<\/td><td>4-6<\/td><td>1-4<\/td><td>6-6-1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicago Bears<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chicago was bad overall ATS (29%) but good as an underdog in 2022 (71%). They were terrible against teams in their division (17%) and only 25% vs. NFC Conference rivals. The Bears were a middling 50% in non-conference games, and an NFC North-worst 17% ATS in division games. They never won two in a row, and they usually lost three in a row. Survivor Tip: Don\u2019t pick the Bears, period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detroit Lions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detroit was the second best team in the NFL ATS in 2022 at 12-5 (71%). The Lions were the strongest ATS at home (78%) and as an underdog (73%). Strange But True: Detroit was 7-1 (88%) the week after a win in \u201822 and returns most of their coaches and starters. Survivor Tip: Pick the Lions in your Survivor Pool against division rivals (they were 6-0 last year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Bay Packers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Packers were as good as Aaron Rodgers in 2022 and he\u2019s not around anymore. Take every ATS trend for the Packers and toss it out. Jordan Love is a different guy and the Packers have the cheapest wide receiver room in town. The Pack rolls with defense and running game this season. Survivor Tip: Look for the Packers and Jordan Love to get favorable ATS lines to start the \u201823 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minnesota Vikings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minnesota was a below-average team ATS in 2022 (41%) and a bad away underdog (25%). The Vikings are poor ATS in conference games at 3-9-1 (23%) but very good in non-conference games at 4-1 or 80%. Survivor Tip: Look for Minnesota as an away favorite, when they cover ATS +5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Vikings_Football_23164724982768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12143113\/Vikings_Football_23164724982768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12143113\/Vikings_Football_23164724982768-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/12143113\/Vikings_Football_23164724982768-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson tosses a ball during an NFL football practice Tuesday, June 13, 2023, in Eagan, Minn.. (AP Photo\/Bruce Kluckhohn)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AFC North &#8211; The Away \u2018Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AFC North was 39-30-2 overall ATS in 2022 but 18-11-2 (58%) as an underdog. Cincinnati was a net winner across all ATS categories. Baltimore was bad at home but good as an underdog (67%). Cleveland was middling in all things, while Pittsburgh surprised with a win in every ATS category.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2022 Record ATS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Team<\/td><td>ATS (ALL)<\/td><td>AWAY<\/td><td>HOME<\/td><td>\u2018DOG<\/td><td>FAV.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Baltimore<\/td><td>8-9-1<\/td><td>7-3<\/td><td>1-6-1<\/td><td>4-1-1<\/td><td>4-8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cincinnati<\/td><td>13-6<\/td><td>8-3<\/td><td>5-3<\/td><td>3-1<\/td><td>9-5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cleveland<\/td><td>8-9<\/td><td>4-4<\/td><td>4-4<\/td><td>5-5<\/td><td>3-4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pittsburgh<\/td><td>10-6-1<\/td><td>6-3<\/td><td>4-3-1<\/td><td>6-4-1<\/td><td>4-2<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baltimore Ravens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just 45% ATS overall and 1 of 8 at home, the Ravens nonetheless shone as an underdog, going 4-1-1 (67%) in that role even as their starting QB was injured. There is no home advantage for Baltimore &#8212; they were one of eight in the category in \u201822. Survivor Tip: Avoid Baltimore at all costs when at home and pick them as an away underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The class of the division in both record and ATS performance, the Bengals are a solid pick two out of three weeks under any conditions. Cincinnati was 73% ATS as an away team, which is great, 64% as a favorite, and 75% as an underdog.\u00a0 Survivor Tip: If you are looking for a gap, the Bengals struggle in their own division, so consider picking against them if the opponent is another AFC North team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleveland Browns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Browns were yawn-inducing in most things in 2022, going about .500 in most ATS categories. Cleveland was terrible at stringing together back-to-back wins, going just 1-6 the week after a W, but 6-3 ATS after a loss (67%). Weird but True: Cleveland was 0-3 with a rest advantage. Survivor Tip: The only place the Browns won in \u201822 was their own division; pick them there the week after a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Steelers relied on Defense to be a great team ATS in 2022. 10-6-1 ATS overall (59%), the Steelers were net winners away (67%), as a \u2018dog (55%), and as a favorite(67%). Pittsburgh is good after a win (5-2-1 or 63%), so you can string them together for a couple of weeks in your pool. Survivor Tip: The Steelers are excellent in non-conference games at 4-1 or 80%; pick them ATS when they play the NFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AFC North should be one of the more competitive divisions in football.
