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 few different factors:

Desperation vs. complacency: WMU is just 6-8 on the season and lost its opening MAC game against Kent State on Tuesday, a very tough 87-84 setback in OT vs. Kent State. There's no question the Broncos will be eager to take out their frustrations on an Akron team which is 12-2 overall and which has won nine straight.

The bottom line: And it's as simple as that for us, we feel this sets up as a classic "letdown" spot for the home side, a perfect opportunity for us to take advantage of, this is definitely a few too many points. Play on WESTERN MICHIGAN.
