Most Notable ATS teams
There are three undefeated teams against the spread this season: BYU (8-0 ATS), Arizona (7-0 ATS), and High Point (7-0-1). Then there’s Merrimack, Oakland, and Illinois Chicago who can be easily overlooked.
Each of those schools has been an underdog in at least five games, and they are collectively 17-0-1 ATS in the underdog position so far. San Francisco and Minnesota both hold 5-0 ATS records as favorites.
On the flip side it would be wise to either avoid or fade SE Missouri State, Grambling, and Georgia Southern, as these teams combined are 0-21 ATS. Pacific, IUPUI, and DePaul have not fared much better with a combined 3-23 ATS record. In the favorite role, Pacific is a national worst at 0-5 ATS.
A Dream For Over Bettors
Arkansas Pine Bluff is #348 in KenPom ratings but seventh in adjusted tempo and 361st in adjusted defensive efficiency. They have seen all seven of their games go over the total. UTSA and Missouri State both stand out at 5-0 to the over as favorites.
William Mary, Wofford, and Arkansas Little Rock are each 6-0 over the total when in an underdog role.

How Low Can They Go?
Oddsmakers have struggled to set totals low enough for South Florida games, as all six of their Division I games have fallen under the total, making them the only team yet to play an over.
Meanwhile, eight teams, including Houston, Towson, San Francisco, Colgate, Long Island, Michigan State, Rutgers, and Jacksonville State, combine for an 8-58 over/under record.
Finding Value In Top-25 Matchups
High-profile games attract more attention, making it harder to find an edge, but sportsbooks often set higher betting limits for these contests. Purdue excels at 3-0 ATS against ranked opponents this season, whereas Tennessee struggles at 0-3 ATS in similar situations.
North Carolina trends at 3-0 over the total against ranked foes, while Michigan State’s games against ranked opponents have gone under in each of their three contests. Hopefully, you find this helpful information and best of luck with your college basketball bets!
