Defense Rules
Here is a list of the Top 5 college hoops teams on the defensive front, in Defensive Field Goal percentage and Rebound Margin. Look to ‘play on’ these teams in either revenge or underdog roles:

1. Clemson 35.1
2. SMU 35.8
3. Iowa 36.2
4. San Diego State 36.3

Here is a list of the Top 5 NBA defensive teams

5. Raptors 97.1
Rebounding Margin

Not Again
NBA teams who have managed to pull an upset have been crashing back to earth with regularity this season.
That’s confirmed by the fact that teams off a SU underdog win are just 69-84-7 ATS overall, including 8-23-2 ATS when off back-to-back puppy wins.
When these same back-to-back upset winners have squared off against an opponent with a winning record they’ just about fallen off the map, going 2-13 SU and ATS.
Stat Of The Week
The Toronto Raptors are 8-0 ATS since Christmas.
