As mentioned above, there are a handful of referees who gave a betting advantage last season. The referees who stood in particular were Clay Martin and Clete Blakeman. Both of these referees were heavily in favor of high scoring games. In addition, Clay Martin in 2020-2021 season was a referee who heavily favored road teams. Road teams were covering at 80%+ in games he officiated.

Now, let’s highlight a few referees whose trends are continuing this season.

2021/22 NFL Referee Stats & Trends

Ron Torbert

Now that we have two games under our belt for the 2021-2022 season, I wanted to see if the referees from last season who had a high variance for a trend would continue this season.

Ron Torbert has continued the Under trend thru two games. In fact, in Torbert’s first two games have gone Under the posted total averaging 36.5 points per game. As a result, Torbert is now 12-4 to the Under over his last 16 regular season games.

Shawn Hochuli

Dating back to last season, Shawn Hochuli was one of the referees in which road teams were covering at a high percentage. That trend is continuing this season. In fact, thru the first two games of the season, the road team has covered in both of his games. In Week 1, the Cowboys covered the spread against the Buccaneers, and in Week 2 the Patriots covered as a road favorite against the Jets.

Brad Rogers

Last season, Brad Rogers was the best referee to the Over. In fact, in the 11 games he was the referee, the game went over the total in 10 of those games! The games ended up averaging 57 points per game. Furthermore, this season both games Rogers has been the referee have gone over the total averaging 63 points per game.
