Garbage teams that are actually good

[Beyond the Bets]

I bet that doesn't make any sense. But any completely off the map teams that will exceed expectations?

North Dakota State is 3-0 and 3-0 ATS and are ripping teams apart, mostly with their amazing defense. They beat San Francisco by 8 points as a nine-point underdog.

Valparaiso? A team that only has 1 freshman and he doesn't play. Out of conference schedule that already consisted of Arizona, also has Ohio St and a couple MAC teams. The Horizon league has an opening with Butler and Detroit battling at the top. Maybe they'll finish with single digit losses and continue to do well ATS.

I like Valpo too. Bryce Drew has something to prove after replacing his dad, so I suspect he's going to keep his guys fighting until the end of the some of these games against big, non-con opponents. See Arizona ...

Detroit may not be 'off the map' but I'm very high on them this year. If the tournament started today, I'd have them at least to the Sweet 16. I can definitely see them covering a lot of spreads this year.

You can still get them +7 tonight against a depleted ND team.
