While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single 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 couple of different factors:

Motivation: The La Salle Explorers will be desperate today, they're trying to end a six-game losing streak. La Salle won four of its first five games, and looks to take advantage of a Fordham team which has now dropped two a row.

Strong and relevant ATS statistics: Note that La Salle is 9-7 ATS in its last 16 vs. good defensive teams which allow 64 points or less per contest and 6-4 ATS in its last ten after three or more consecutive SU losses, while Fordham is just 13-15 ATS in its last 28 after a loss vs. a conference rival.

The bottom line: It's not too hard to imagine the Rams getting caught looking past the lowly Explorers today, while we won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset, we feel that the intensity in which the visitors play with today will ultimately keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Play on LA SALLE.
