Bleacher Report's Jeff Glauser scribbled up a sexy post in October 2014, weighing in on Thursday night home underdogs in both college and professional football, attempting to dig up why they're so darn successful.
Betting on these home underdogs has provided a treasure trove for those that have caught on to the wave. The thing is, most have, they just haven't fully latched on to the magnitude of the trend.
Best bet is to take the underdog on Thursday night football. Didn't touch this game... didn't even care to see what the line is

I thoroughly enjoyed the read, but perhaps on the seemingly unending spectrum of sport analytics, the way a team performs on a certain day provides no answer.
