NCAAF HOMECOMING FADE OR PLAY?
Mr. East
There are a vast array of handicapping styles, and some adhere to part of them, but I adhere to all of them. I utilize countless systems I have developed over the years, along with emotional, situational, and motivational factors. The one thing I have been able to do with tremendous accuracy is make my own pointspreads. I make them before the next day's game, so I am not influenced by what happened in one game. I am able to spot line value, and exploit it with success. The one thing I don't do is waste selections, for the sake of having one. The only games I will ever put out, are those that I have handicapped countless different ways, and are deemed to create a high likelihood of beating the pointspread. The fact you read this, is its own compliment, and I know you have many choices. Thanks for allowing me to show you a winning approach. I'd be glad to assist you in anyway I can, and look forward to showing you my commitment, and dedication, for something I not only do for a li ving, but with passion, and success! Best wishes on a profitable year in the world of sports!

There is always a lot of talk about how Homecoming is a big game on teams schedule, and how motivated they will be to win on what is perhaps the most exciting day on the home schedule, for fans, and players, as well as family, and alums. Truthfully, it is a nightmare for the coaches, as they try to clear the path of distractions in the players minds from Saturday to Saturday, but this is one unavoidable obstacle. So what is the truth about Homecoming in NCAAF? Does it inspire a team to a better performance in front of friends, faamilies, students, etc., or is it a distraction, that just ends in disappointment. Well, here is what has happened so far this year, and since there is only 35 games worth of data, don't think that this is the "holy grail" of sports betting, but just another thought to consider when your panning through the card this weekend preparing to lay down your hard earned cash.
This is one of the biggest Homecoming weekends in football, right in the middle of the season, when the weather in most places is still good, and before the weather starts to turn ugly as we head toward late fall. Do the odds-makers put a tax on teams that are hosting a game during Homecoming weekend? Are the lines inflated toward the home team? Here is the results, that indicate there "might" be something to this, but the fool-proof conclusion can't be clear and completely drawn until the sample size becomes relevant.
This year teams hosting Homecoming games, are a horrible 12-23 ATS or covering just 34.3% of the time!!! That certainly gets my attention to do more work in this area, as their may be some "fade alert" material here, or it could just be the product of not enough games yet, and it will level off. I did some homework and see that at least 18 teams that will be hosting a Homecoming game this weekend. I will put the list here, and then next week, we can add to the 12-23 ATS mark whatever transpires this weekend, and the database of games will rise to 53, still not enough, but getting closer to confidence if a high "fade" ATS number maintains itself.
Here are the games this weekend (I may have missed some but this is what I came up with)
UAB
UCLA
KY
S. FLA
LOUISVILLE
WASH
BUFF
NAVY
N'WERN
OKLA
OKLA ST.
RUTGERS
UL MONROE
NEVADA
DUKE
GEO
PENN ST
N. ILL
Best of luck this weekend, and if your having difficulty, read my past game results, and if I can help, you know how to reach me
