/// I look to wager on must-win underdogs if they are usually in contention teams.
/// What I mean by a must-win underdog is a team that would be virtually out of the
/// playoff picture or placed in a very disadvatageous spot concerning the playoff
/// race with a loss. And again, the team must be one that usually makes the playoffs
/// and thus one for which a playoff absence would be a huge failure for the franchise.
/// Note: quick way to work out loss of playoff contention is if a loss would drop you
/// to 500 and we are already eight weeks on then you are then "on wood".
