1. What is your primary style of handicapping?
No set way to cap games. I feel you must be very dynamic in your approach. Capping is not fully science but science can be useful, there is an art to understanding human behavior. You must be able get into what motivates humans and what determines when they will perform at their highest levels.

SOS, Yards per point, yds per rush, offense and defense strength and weaknesses. Those are good starting points but its only the beginning.
