Ah, the key number of -3. It’s important in all aspects — even to Saturday’s PRO System labeled “Ranked Matchups.”
We’ve found that when the spread is -3 or higher and two teams ranked inside the AP Top 25 play, betting on the home favorite has yielded a 58% win rate. Saturday’s Week 1 spread pick is on Texas A&M to cover.
Also, if the game is at a neutral site, the system pivots to simply just betting the favorite if the line is -3 or more.
Texas A&M opened -1, then ballooned up to -3 leading up to Week 1. It’s a perfect fit for our Ranked Matchups angle, and potentially a cheap grab vs. Notre Dame, who’s breaking in a brand-new offense on the road, in a night game, at College Station.
