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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Akron is 7-4 ATS in its last 11 off a win against a conference rival (including 2-1 ATS in that position this year) and 8-4 ATS in its last 12 against teams with losing records (including 3-0 ATS this season), while Miami Ohio is just 1-3 ATS at home this year and only 4-5 ATS in its last nine against teams with winning records (including just 1-2 ATS in that positoin this season.)

The bottom line: The Redhawks need to win out for a chance at a bowl, while the Zips, who come in off a 21-20 win over Buffalo last week, need just one more victory to become eligible. With the daunting task of having to "run the table" ahead of it, we think that Miami Ohio stumbles here. AKRON has several strong ATS stats working in its favor and won't be lacking for motivation.
