RETURNING STARTER ANGLE WEEK 7 Many years ago I received a newsletter from Mike Lee, a sports handicapper who just recently passed away in the past few years. I’m not sure if he came up with this Returning starter angle or if he was just passing it along but it has really been a nice addition to my own personal handicapping arsenal. He had said in his newsletter that the previous year the angle had hit above 70%. I was skeptical but I started following the angle and the next two years it achieved the 70%+ mark again. In recent years the angle has not been as strong but still profitable. Last week the angle only went 7-6 overall for the week in College Football but the week before the angle went a very nice 8-1 89% ATS. The Returning Starter angle is as follows: Play On: Any team returning five or more net starters against their opponent. I use Marc Lawrence’s Playbook Yearbook for returning starter information. Go down the list and compare each team’s returning starters. An example from last week would be Nebraska vs Kansas State. Nebraska has 17 starters returning for Head Coach Bo Pelini while Kansas State returns only 12 starters for Head Coach Bill Snyder. That’s a difference a 5 returning starters in favor of Nebraska. Nebraska won the game easily by a score of 48-13 last Thursday night. Let’s take a look at this week’s returning starter angle and see if it can produce us another winning week. Keep in mind several other factors should go into your handicapping methods, so be sure to use this as an addition to your overall handicapping formula. We’ll put returning starters in parenthesis. Miami Ohio (17) @ Central Michigan (11) Play On: Miami Ohio NC State (12) @ East Carolina (7) Play On: NC State Bowling Green (7) @ Temple (16) Play On: Temple North Carolina (19) @ Virginia (13) Play On: North Carolina (I realize North is missing some starters in this one) California (16) @ Southern Cal (11) Play On: California UTEP (11) @ UAB (17) Play On: UAB Air Force (10) @ San Diego State (17) Play On: San Diego State Arkansas State (19) @ Indiana (12) Play On: Arkansas State Louisiana Monroe (10) @ Western Kentucky (18) Play On: Western Kentucky Florida International (11) @ North Texas (18) Play On: North Texas Hope this helps you find some extra winners this week!
