Just like Arizona, Arizona State is prone to look ahead situations before facing their biggest rivals. They are 3-11 SU and 3-11 ATS before facing Arizona, losing last 7 SU and ATS on the road.

They dont have a true letdown opponent but they do have problems after divisional dog wins, going 0-6 ATS since 2003 after upseting a conference foe.

other than obvious rivals such as Ariz-Ariz St - how do you tell which teams qualify as lookahead or letdown teams or do they just back fit to the ones that happen to result in trends? For example....what makes Arix playing after Washington a letdown game as opposed to any other P12 team

guy, these statements mean absolutely nothing.

NOBODY from the time these games where played, 10,12, 15, 18 years ago, is even around anymore for either school involved.

unless you are a "System Bettor" exclusively, these statements mean nothing.

BOL guy

If they have been rivals for 50 years, what happens the last 12 years has some statistical significance but it is still a small sample size.

What I take from these numbers is to maybe stay away from a team or bet agianst them before and after they play their rival.

College football is largely an emotional game, and the players are inexperienced enough that they "look ahead" or "look back" to a big game.

Akron shouldn't be looking ahead to anyone, besides Akron's soccer team.

i appreciate this,

but again,

what akron did 12 years ago vs. Kent state has NO IMPACT on how the game will go this year.

i will say the same about USC vs OREGON,

FLORIDA vs FLORIDA STATE

CLEMSON vs So. CAROLINA

what happened 12 years ago means nothing because NONE of the coaches are around from that time and the players were 8 years old at the time.

"situation" betting and trends like this seem useless to me unless it is within the last 3-4 years.

im sorry but

" Army is 3-8 ATS in last 11 after playing vs Air Force and 5-12 ATS in last 17 before facing Navy."

means nothing to me.

some of these are nothing more than random variance (AZ-Wash) while others such as rivalry has some merit and are already taken under consideration in general capping....the danger in the random ones are they indicate nothing for the future...for example AZ 4-15 after UW....however the next 19 could just as easily go 15-4....for those that believe Arizona really does have an emotional letdown after UW (as opposed to post Cal, Stan, Ore St, UCLA,and the rest) then it's a valid trend...like any other stats people can decide what they want to use or not

JDM...why do you worry about what some guy writes, summarizes or just throws out some opinions? I've learned if I don't like something best choice is to just leave it alone. Now you can say I'm doing the same thing here but I've seen on here u do it a lot and I finally decided to speak up. Its ok if you have an opinion on that doesn't sound right or a number is off somewhere but to bash a guy who is has some interesting points and great facts makes no sense.

Florida State 4-8 ATS last 12 before Florida and 2-7 ATS last 9 after Miami Florida.

I disagree.  You can implement some of these situational plays into your gameplan.  These trends point to more mindsets of players in certain situations.  Yes, the players are different, but the mindsets and situations are the same.  Just one tool to use, although I wouldn't use them exclusively.

Nice! Just at a minimum one has to look at who a team played the week before and who they have the next week.
