T Shoe Index men's and women's CBB futures bets to consider
It’s the first week of December. Some teams have barely played a handful of games, but what’s to stop us from seeing how those early trends could be actionable on some futures bets? As I mentioned in my introductory college basketball piece, my TSI ratings are 100% on-court data from this season; meaning, there are no recruiting rankings or “program status” bumps in the ratings. It’s purely opponent-adjusted basketball data.
The other note to mention here is that, unlike my football projections, I do not do season-long projections for basketball due to the time constraint of doing so for over 300 teams, so there won’t be any win totals bets coming from me, but the game-to-game power ratings should give us enough of an analytical perspective to make informed bets. The numbers have been good in the early going, as my men’s basketball bets have gone a respectable 14-12 so far, while women’s bets have been scoring hot at 19-5 out of the gates.
Considering those factors, let’s look at where my power ratings indicate we might find some value in the current futures markets.
