That is almost to be expected to though as the home dog means they where the higher seed in the tournament and where not upset correct? So not that shocking of a stat cool research though AC good job

I think he is talking about being the designated home team, or the better seed.

On a site where I check my lines daily
What I see is bottom teams are the home team
top teams are the away teams it is the same for every sport
I assumed some teams were playing relatively close to home court therefore showed as home advantage.
In any case I may have explained it wrong and sorry for that but as long as I keep posting winners I could care less and I don't seem to have a problem doing that, just trying to send some info out there that may help people pick up money. Here is one of the games that would fall within the category of the above 6
AIRFORCE +1 3/27/07

So the proper way of stating this is that HIGHER SEEDS that were underdogs are now 4-1-1 ATS. This is actually an anomaly, as in past seasons lower seeded favorites usually cleaned up, much like unranked teams favored over ranked teams during the regular season.
Also Air Force really should NOT qualify because both they and Clemson were #1 seeds in their sections of the NIT.

In fact, all four #1 seeds advanced to the NIT semifinals, something that hasn't happened in the NCAAs.

In any case you cleared that up lt profits as onlooker did previous.
although air force and clemson were both #1's as you stated air force is still the dog and that is the point I was making that the dogs are currently 4-1-1.
I don't follow so much NCAAB since the teams constantly change and I am pre-occupied with NHL and currently NBA but on occcasion I sometimes see things that stand out and take them normally working out for me. Do as you all wish as for me I will be on air force +1 as long as they remain the dog if it so happens clemson becomes plus 1 then so be it I will be on them.
