St. Bonaventure vs Dayton College Basketball Betting Preview
This game triggered one of our Action PRO betting systems, powered by Evan Abrams.
The “Good Team, Conf, Sm Fav, Both Tms Bad ATS” system identifies undervalued favorites in NCAAB who win consistently but have struggled against the spread, facing opponents with similar ATS struggles.
In conference play, where matchups are familiar and motivation runs high, the better overall team often prevails despite market skepticism stemming from prior spread losses.
When a strong team sits as a small favorite, it suggests the line has tightened due to mutual ATS underperformance rather than true competitive balance.
This system capitalizes on that overcorrection, backing reliable programs that win outright at a steady rate when the market perception has dipped too far, turning short favorites into profitable plays.
Dayton is reeling, losers of four straight. However, this could be a good bounce-back spot, given the Flyers are coming off a tough loss to the dominant Saint Louis Billikens, while the Bonnies are just 3-7 ATS in their past 10 games.
My Pick: Dayton -8.5
