How games at these numbers have gone
- The key number. 10 is one of the numbers NFL games land on most often, so this line can push โ and a half-point move off it changes far more games than a half-point anywhere else.
- Spread 10 โ the 10-14 point band. In 675 games since 1999 the favorite covered 48.1% of the time โ a coin flip once the 95% range (44.4โ51.9%) is taken into account.
- Total 38.5 โ spread in the 10-14 point band. Games with a spread this size went over 49.0% of the time across 681 of them.
