You could argue that.

But where does it stop........ you win 2 games against two bottom teams so based on current form you will win all games going forward.

I mean.........seriously.
You could just bet every game and win all the money....

The mathematical odds on a game are based on the perceived strength of one team vs another. (with fudge factors thrown in such as H/A , travel, rest and injuries)

That is often based on as large a sample as possible (there is some drop off the further out you go)
