This is an 8* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Niagara.

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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relative ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Niagara is 2-1 ATS in its last three as an underdog, while Cornell is just 3-5 ATS in its last eight as a favorite.

The bottom line: Niagara averages 83.4 PPG and allows 87.2. The Purple Eagles will be hungry for a victory here to move to a game above .500. The Big Red look poised for a letdown here after winning four of their last five. Cornell averages 72.3 PPG and allows 77.3. We think that NIAGARA is the "hungrier" team in his matchup.
