We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
It's the No. 7 seed UAB Blazers taking on the No. 2 seed BYU Cougars. UAB had a 16-2 record in the C-USA, but failed to win the tournament. BYU finished in third in the WCC with a 13-5 record. These team's overall win/loss records may be similar, but that's where it ends in my opinion. UAB is ranked 115th in the Ken Pomeroy's College Basketball Rankings, while BYU is ranked 59th overall. It was a devastating tournament run for the Blazers, who were picked by most to win the event. Instead the team fell 88-77 to Western Kentucky, getting out-rebounded 50-28. The team averages 79 points and allows 69.6. The Cougars average 83.6 PPG and allow 72.2. We simply can't see the Blazers matching pace with BYU down the stretch and think this spread should be a bit larger. Play on BYU.
