Nice summary article of what a 59-page honors thesis from a Stanford undergraduate analyzes. The analysis uses the point spread of games to see whether games that came close to that point spread ended up usually with the favorite beating or not making the spread. It found that, in games with heavy favorites, the favorite team more often didn't beat the spread when it was close to the predicted margin. Very interesting read for statistics fans.
