Is there any interest in handicapping systems on this net --
i.e., systems that predict winners against the line rather than
simply straight up?

For playoffs, I'll offer two as gifts!

1) Bet on the team, regardless of the line, which gave up the
fewest points on defense during the regular season.  It's 4-for-4
in the first round games this year (and likes New England and Chicago
in this weekend's action)!

2) My personal algorithm based on comparing median performances.  It
was 3-for-4 in the first round (5-for-6 if you count the wild card
games) and likes New England +5 and the Rams +10.5 this weekend.

Anybody else got good systems for either the regular season or
the second season?
