NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM
Last week, our winning POWER SYSTEM looked at how undefeated teams do as late-season road favorites. This week, we see how teams do after ending a SU & ATS losing streak of at least 3 games. Do they carry the momentum forward? Or do they suffer a letdown?
As it turns out, these teams have fallen back to their previous form when made a road underdog of at least a TD under the conditions outlined by this week's PRO INFO SPORTS NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM:
Play AGAINST a road underdog of 7+ points with less than 13 days rest off a SU & ATS win in its last game and 3 SU & ATS losses before that vs. an opponent not off an ATS win/push.
These teams are 0-14 SU & 0-13-1 ATS since 1998, failing to cover the spread by an even 12 points per game on average. Last year, for example, North Texas went to Louisiana Tech, having just ended a SU & ATS losing streak of 3+ games. The Mean Green were given 19' pionts, and still could not cover the spread. Ironically, Louisiana Tech finds itself on the other end of this situation this season. Last week, the Bulldogs ended a SU & ATS losing streak of their own with a victory over Utah State. Now, they are 9-10 point underdogs at San Jose State to face a Spartans teams off a spread loss at Nevada. With all conditions met for this week's PRO INFO SPORTS NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM, the play AGAINST team is Louisiana Tech vs. San Jose State. |
