The Southern Strategy Angle
Now that it's Bowl season I'm going to talk about my Southern Strategy Angle. This angle is only for College Football. I have spoken about this before and believe me it's a very profitable angle so here it goes.
Always take the team that is in the South over Northern, Midwest, Eastern and Mountain teams. By South I don't just mean the SEC I'm talking all Southern states regardless of conference. If you notice I didn't include West teams. First of all let's define West for the purpose of this angle. I define West as the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon and California. I don't include Western Mountain states like Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada etc. I don't include Texas in the South. They have their own category which I will get to.
What you will find is that the Southern schools will cover and most likely beat the schools from the other regions at least 70% of the time. I don't have any hard numbers but I have been playing this angle for years and it has always been profitable. The Southern schools do have problems with West Coast schools though so I wouldn't play it or I would go with the West Coast school.
Texas schools are different. Texas schools will beat Northern, Eastern schools regularly. They give the West Coast schools problems as well. But the Texas schools can't beat the Mountain schools for whatever reason. Mountain states have an impressive record over Texas schools. In regards to the West Coast schools I have found if the game is on the West Coast the advantage is to the West Coast school. However neutral fields and games in Texas and the advantage goes to the Texas school.
This angle is by no means perfect and there will be exceptions but it's another tool in your arsenal for winning money against the books or adding to your streaks. Like I said I have been using this angle for years during the Bowl season and I have always made a profit with this angle. Remember I'm referring to point spreads but you can certainly use this angle for SU bets as well. Good Luck this Bowl season!
