Since 2016, despite winning only 43.3% of these games, these teams have generated a consistent positive ROI of 4.6%.
This trend has proven reliable across five consecutive seasons, indicating market inefficiencies in how these specific matchups are priced — likely due to lack of familiarity between leagues and public overconfidence in home and favorite teams.
