I see many respected Handicappers on this thread give out picks with teams that have horrible records. I understand that the favorite doesn't always win and certainly doesn't always cover. I love betting underdogs.
However, I don't like betting on bad teams. What is a bad team? A team that is under .500? Maybe not.
A team under .450? Maybe.
A team under .400? Yes.
I played Richmond today vs. R.I. because R.I. has a horrible record. Richmond won and even covered.
Tonite I am playing Notre Dame against a Rutgers team that is 9-18.
Of course this is not the only criteria that I use.
