This is an older article from 2017, but I thought the percentages were interesting and shows what 3 straight road games can do to a team.

Quote:The three-game road trip is a bit of a rarity in the NFL, and so I thought I would chat with our friends at Odds Shark about the tail end of this trip. Odds Shark has a huge database of gambling information, which can give us an idea of trends. I asked them about team performance in this kind of scenario, and they got back to me with straight up and against the spread numbers for the third game of a three-game road trip.
Over the last three years, the team in the third consecutive road game is 13-23 straight up and 11-23-2 against the spread. Over the last five years, they are 20-33 straight up, and 22-29-2 against the spread. Finally, over the last ten years, they are 35-69 straight up, and 46-55-3 against the spread. It’s also interesting to note that the over hit half the time over the last ten years, while the UNDER had the edge the past three and five years.
