Apocalypse ~ Thanks for breaking down some of these numbers.

bushman ~ Thanks for stopping by.

Mike9999 ~ Thank you and I am honored that you chose this thread to make your first post on COVERS.   I must admit the time involved in gathering these numbers was more than I bargained for.

Tulsa has opened each of the last 3 seasons on the road as the favorite and gone 3-0 ATS covering each game by DD.

Va.Tech has failed to cover in each of the last 3 season openers.
