yeah, they're all pretty square, but there are good numbers in support of each. i'm not a huge trend guy, but i think that to the extent that they are relevant, they are most relevant with respect to win/loss SU in similar spots.
a couple of Sparty trends that Jeff Grant tweeted out:
Sparty 125-21 SU in Big Ten Conference home games under Tom Izzo at the Breslin Center
Sparty 34-8 ATS (40-2 SU) in their last 42 games as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points (yes, that's a long trend, but Izzo has been the coach the entire time)
also:
GMU 31-4 SU in home lined games last 3 years
Drexel 1-5 SU vs teams with winning record this season, 0-6 SU as medium dog (3'-6 pts) last three years, 1-8 SU at GMU
Bama 28-5 SU in home lined games last 3 years
Arky 2-13 SU at Bama, 6-25 SU as dog/3-20 SU on road last 3 years
UConn 7-0 SU as fave this year, 39-14 last 3 years
Providence 1-7 SU as dog this year, 8-26 SU at dog last 3 years
