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:
Revenge factor: Both teams have been dominating lately (Stanford has won six of its last eight, while Oregon State has won six of seven), but to say this is a "revenge" game would be a bit of an understatement, as the Cardinal have won seven of the last ten in the series.
Strong and relevant ATS statistics: Note that Stanford is just 10-14 ATS in its last 24 true road games and only 8-11 ATS in its last 19 off a loss vs. a conference rival, while Oregon State is 18-11 ATS in its last 29 when playing the role of favorite.
The bottom line: The Beavers have more depth and have been playing at a higher level across the board over the last month, combined with the revenge factor, in our professional opinion all signs do indeed point to OREGON STATE as the savvy move in this contest.
