Week One of Mountain West action starts tonight and that means we have an opportunity to dig into the betting trend data and see if there are any opportunities for wise wagers. At the end of today’s column I will review last week’s recommendations, but suffice it to say, Week 0 was not a good one for my predictions, going 0-3-1 with a net loss of five betting units. Week 0 can be notoriously hard to predict, especially with several teams having had tumultuous off-seasons.
Before we get into this week’s picks, for readers who are maybe less familiar with sports betting, I’ll share a little educational information where it could be helpful.
