Finn’s top two College Basketball against the spread trends/free picks start with a late tip contest in Springfield, MA.
Friday, 12/09/2011 (853) OLD DOMINION vs. (854) FAIRFIELD
Lean: OLD DOMINION against the spread.
Fading neutral court or holiday tourney chalk teams (Fairfield) coming off two or more consecutive road wins on Friday nights has been amazingly successful, albeit obscure to the Friday variable. The situational trend has cashed at an 81% clip (26-6) over the last 15 college basketball campaigns and is already 1-0 this season.
Note of concern for this trend is the average pointspread (+8) and straight up record (12-21). Tonight Old D is a mere three-point underdog.
Play Old Dominion +3
