CFB RETURNING STARTER ANGLE WEEK 13
(2011)
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.
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 the 1st
week would be Mississippi State vs Memphis. Mississippi State has 15 starters
returning for Head Coach Dan Mullen while Memphis returns only 9 starters for
Head Coach Larry Porter. That’s a difference a 6 returning starters in favor of
Mississippi State. Mississippi State won the game easily by a score of 59-14 in
the Thursday night opener.
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.
Week 1 Results only 2-6 ATS and Week 2 were 6-5 ATS and Week 3 3-5
ATS and Week 4 5-3 ATS and Week 5 4-4 ATS and Week 6 6-2 ATS and Week 7 9-5 ATS
and Week 8 5-4 ATS and 4-2 ATS in Week 9 and 7-4 ATS in Week 10 and 7-3 ATS in
Week 11 and 3-3 ATS in Week 12. We’ll
keep a running total for the season.
