This is an 8* ART OF THE GAME on Southern Miss.

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 numerous 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. 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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Southern Miss is 16-8 ATS in its last 24 after scoring 60 points or less, and 12-9 ATS in its last 21 after three or more consecutive SU losses, while SDSU is just 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games played in the month of December and just 4-7 ATS in its last 11 against teams with losing records.

The bottom line: We think that home side gets caught looking ahead to the Christmas break and then conference play the lowly SOUTHERN MISS EAGLES keep this one close enough to sneak in through the back door down the stretch.
