Just like I have the past few weeks, I will detail 10 of the trickiest spots I circled after last weekend for the Week 5 Saturday college football slate.
To find these spots, one just has to look at a team’s opponents the week prior and week after to get an idea of where any potential flat spots might pop up.
Ultimately, the actual spread value still reigns supreme. No matter how great a situational spot appears on paper, you still have to factor in how much value the number holds. A good or bad spot may sway me one way or the other on a bet I’m on the fence for, however.
Motivation, injury situations and depth also come into play, especially early in the season. It’s certainly more art than science.
