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: Cincinnati has suffered three two-point losses this year, but its worst setback of the season was a lacklustre 77-70 loss to Temple on December 29th in front of the home town crowd. It was also the opener of Conference play, so there's no question that the Bearcats will be out to avenge that "brain fart."

Focus: Since the loss to Temple, no UC opponent has reached the 60-point mark: "That game was probably the game looking back on it that was ‘enough is enough,'" assistant coach Larry Davis assessed of the setback to the Owls. "We just weren't very active on the ball. We weren't pressuring the ball. After the Temple game, that's really in practice all we worked on."

Playing over their heads: There is an old saying: The sun has to shine on a dog's butt every now and then. The Owls had an exceptional game vs. the Bearcats, but that type of performance is not the norm, the team ranks last in the league in field goal percentage (.402), second last in field goal percentage defense (.414) and second last in rebounding margin at minus 0.2.

The bottom line: Cincinnati is the far superior team in every respect, it comes in focused and angry, we look for the visitors to find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. Play on the BEARCATS on the MONEY LINE.
