Yesterday we looked at teams who have had early season success and are riding into week #4 of the NCAAF season with a perfect 3-0 mark. Well, how about those teams that were riding high and took their first loss of the season last week? Would they be able to bounce back or is the loss indicative of just an early season easy schedule? As is most important to profit, specifically how did these teams do ATS after losing their first game of the year.

So, I decided to take a look at teams who dropped their first game of the season last week and get an idea of whether or not it would be profitable to jump on their bandwagon this week or go against them. As you see below, there are some interesting angles.

Angle #1 --Teams playing at home after losing their first game of the season last week.

Teams in this scenerio are a bankroll draining 67-87-1 ATS overall. Now, if you take same team and put them playing a team who lost ATS last week and they are now an even worse 23-37 ATS. If you really want to profit have this same opponent coming off an ATS loss and who give up 16 points or less per game and this once mighty unbeaten drops to pathetic 1-15 ATS. So, the important question is do we have any team in this role this week? Sure do! Play On: UConn over Pittsburgh.

Angle #2 --Teams playing on the road after losing their first game of the season last week.

For some reason teams in this scenerio seem to fair better producing a profitbale 87-60-1 ATS angle. Must be not having to worry about the home team getting on you after a previous loss. Anyway, do we have any teams in this role? Sure Do: Play On: Georgia Tech, Iowa, Maryland, Northwestern, Washington and Wyoming.
