Last week before everyone gets into districts, and it’s going to be sloppy out there for a lot of teams. How will that affect things? Conventional wisdom says whoever can run the ball will win. But conventional wisdom also says always double down when you have 11. But in reality, if you’re playing with the rule that the dealer always stands on 17 (including soft hands, such as an Ace and a six), then double down on a 10 or 11 when the dealer’s up card is less than your total.

And specific circumstances can turn conventional wisdom into a hockey puck. In this case, we’re talking about football which can really play havoc with conventional wisdom.
