[QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4933956, member: 1969"]
In the past week I have been casually dabbling (as my bets always are in terms of small size) the following specific bets -- builds off the top 25 teams on the road variations.
Involves road games of the following, and picking against that school.
- Non P6 teams in top 25
- Non P6 schools that are top of their conference per KP

The rationale is that while not top 25 schools, these conference mates are targeted by fans and players when they arrive.   Even if its likely a smaller arena - those can get quite loud.
Also the thinking is that KP is still a bit wild this early in the year so thinking in general the top teams in those conferences, which might have more "schedule" pull, could be inflated a bit compared to others in those conference.  I have never seen anybody suggest this but that I would try this approach at least for the first half of January.

So far those schools are 19-8 and about to go 20-8.   Many of these games have been outright wins despite being dogs.

Here were my picks for today:

South Dakota St at Denver (+2.5)
Stone Cold Stephen Austin at Southern Utah (+6.5)
Seattle at UT Arlington (-1.5)
Southern at Florida A&M (+5)
Colgate at Bucknell (+9)
Morehead at SIU Edwardsville (+5)
Drexel at Elon (+7.5)
Oakland at IUPUI (+12.5)  
Merrimack at Lemoyne (+4)
San Diego St at New Mexico (-3.5)
Utah St at UNLV (+2.5)
Weber St at Portland St (+5.5)

EDIT - Did not include the 2 non P6 top 25 schools playing initially
EDIT - Also included Weber St the leaders of the Big Sky who I had not put in initially.  They are playing at 7:00

Let's see if this trend continues.
