In the last issue of Point Spread Weekly, I reported on some of the most lopsided head-to-head series in play for the rest of college basketball’s conference schedule. I find this data to be especially important in college hoops. I’m always looking for home/road and favorite/underdog trends as well, so let’s dig them up.
Here are some of the top ATS trends to consider for home teams, road teams, favorites and underdogs in conference series (most series listed have at least one game remaining this season). I’ve also listed upcoming dates when these trends apply.
As was the case last week, dates are subject to change/postponement (schedule data taken from team websites as of Monday).
