I've been following the small schools and seeing some real gems out there. Two teams at the top of the ATS roster are Oakland University and Summit League member IPFW. Plenty of money to be made with these two teams.
Since I started following IPFW I've been noticing a couple lines off dramatically from the result of the game. So I have been following this conference in hopes I might catch some soft lines. That is why I am posting this the night before.
The game in question is the South Dakota State Jackrabbits vs. the Omaha Mavs. You've heard it before, these are 2 teams going in opposite directions.
First the visitor (SDSU):
SDSU has a road record of 6-5 causing concern for some as to how the Jacks perform away from home. However, 1 of these losses was to Texas Tech, a much bigger school. The other 2 road losses were to North Dakota State (10-1 at home) and Weber State (9-1 at home). Since losing to NDSU on the road, SDSU is 3-0 on the road and have won their last 5 overall and now have a 19-5 record.
The home team (Omaha):
The Mavs have lost their last 2 games in dramatic fashion. Two games ago they let Western Illinois get their first conference win. Three days later they lost to 13-11 Denver at home. They have no recent injuries that would explain this slump.
I'm taking the hot team at only -3 vs. the slumping team.
SDSU -3 over Omaha
