trends not it

Las Vegas - Just a quick warning about following trends blindly. They DON'T always cash. Great example was this past Saturday when the Hawaii trend blew into the handicapping universe. The Rainbow Warriors had covered 11 of their last 12 home openers, and were getting a big fat PLUS NINE points against Vanderbilt. Easy money right? WRONG! The Commodores stormed Honolulu and didn't stop until they flew back home to Nashville with a GINORMOUS 63-10 blowout. Fortunately, we stayed away from that trend and posted a sweet W with a 1st Q OVER play.

The trend hitting this week comes from Ohio where Akron rolls into its home opener on an UGLY 0-7 run against the spread. The Zips are a 14.5 point favorite against St. Francis (PA), so we would advise you to handle with care, or, not handle at all.
