Has anyone researched this?
In the NFL I generally subscribe to the theory of betting on a Home Underdog after the team achieved an upset win on the road.
Dr. Bob turned me on to this after pointing out that:
Road Upsets from Week 7:
LOU
OREGST
AUB
NAVY
GTECH
OKST
NMEX
AFORCE
TEMP
MIDTENN
ECAR
(Non-Home) Underdogs in Week 8:
AUB (+10) @ LSU
Home Underdogs in Week 8:
Navy (+3) v WAKEF
Temple (+5.5) v Miami-OH
I would think the confidence/emotional factor might be more pronounced in the College game. I picked Air Force over TCU (they won outright) after they upset Utah on the road earlier in the season, but I haven't been researching this closely enough overall to see if there is a trend.
Let's see what happens in particular with Navy and Temple this weekend.

NFL home underdogs have been pretty good bets over the years after an upset win (173-128-9 ATS since 1980) since such teams tend to play with more confidence in that situation.
