NFL teams home and away records

It's interesting in the 2013 standings the differences and imbalances within some teams overall records. some quick observations

  • New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals look strong at 11-5 but this is 8-0 at home and vulnerable 3-5 on the road
  • Tampa Bay Bucs, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders were a seeming woeful 4-12, yet all were a competitive 3-5 at home
  • Minnesota Vikings were 5-10-1 with 5-3 at home and 0-7-1 away
  • Kansas City Chiefs were 11-5 but 2-4 within their division and 9-1 outside the division

So there are some week 1 matches where this might come into play

  • New Orleans at Atlanta. looks like 11-5 vs 4-12, yet there's 3-5 road team vs 3-5 home team
  • Cincinnati at Baltimore. looks like 11-5 vs 8-8, but it's 3-5 road team vs 6-2 home team 

so when the lines come out there may be some value in the underdogs here
