Every year is a little different in the handicapping world. The same processes can yield very different results and take us in different directions. A year ago, game totals were connecting for us at a high rate. This year, after cooling off from a hot start, we've been getting strong results from selecting sides. Funny how that works.

But you have to self-scout, and it's definitely played a role in how we've attacked some of these games and where we've decided to spend our money. There has already been some movement in some of the games we've played, and we anticipate more as the weekend approaches. Get the value while you still can.
