We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Oklahoma State is just 4-5 ATS this year off a loss against a conference rival and 0-3 ATS in its last three when playing with seven or more days rest, while Michigan is 9-4 ATS this year off a win against a conference rival and 6-0 in all tournament games this season.

The bottom line: We had Michigan in the Big Ten Conference Tournament title game and we're expecting the Wolverines to carry that momentum over here. OKS comes in on the other end of the spectrum, having lost three straight. League play began with six straight losses for the Pokes, but they'd then rebound to win ten of their next 11, before then dropping their final three, including a 92-83 setback to eventual Champion Iowa State in the first round of the Big 12 event. Michigan has played in 27 NCAA Tournaments, including in six of the last seven years. We think that experience pays off here. Lay the points, play on the WOLVERINES.
