This is a 10* SIDE OF THE WEEK on Kent State.

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 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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Kent STate is 3-1 ATS in its last four when playing with five of six days of rest and 6-2 ATS in its last eight after scoring 60 points or less, while Texas is just 4-8 ATS in its last 12 after scoring 80 points or more and just 1-5 ATS in its last six when playing with six or less days rest.

The bottom line: We've been saddled with an early poor line (+11), but regardless, we still think this one sets up beautifully for Kent State. Texas starts league play on the weekend and we think will get caught "looking ahead" and past its lowly non-conference opponent today. Grab as many points as you can, play on KENT STATE.
