Eight betting systems for college football revenge games

Some of the better and more consistent programs in recent years sport the best revenge records. Wisconsin's only revenge game this season is the finale against Minnesota. Alabama's team is 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in revenge games since 2016. Ohio State is among the worst revenge teams in the recent history. UMass has demonstrated little ability to avenge defeats, going 1-12 SU, 3-10 ATC. The data did not capture U Mass' point-spread win against Eastern Michigan last week. The Minutemen have three revenge spots left this year.

Home teams in revenge spots have covered less ground than road and neutral-field teams over the last 6+ seasons. Since 2016, the home team has won 691-837 SU and 733-765-30 ATS.

There is a 3% advantage against the spread for revenge teams playing on the road compared to at home. The edge for backing neutral-field teams is more than 11%.

Since the start of the 2016 season, neutral-field underdogs playing in revenge mode have gone 38-22 ATS (63.3%).

Teams playing as underdogs at home in revenge games have been almost automatic covers. Teams catching 30 points or more have gone 1-16 SU but 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games. Most of the revenge matches are conference games, so I wouldn't bet against a team playing in conference play.

Double-digit road favorites have been going 42-28 ATS (60%) since 2016. Most of the teams involved in revenge games are conference champions.

Teams trying to avenge outright losses in which they were double-digit favorites have struggled, going just 71-93 ATS (43.3%) since 2016.

No. 4 teams trying to avenge outright losses in which they were double-digit favorites and lost, have gone 7-20 ATS (25.9%). No. 5 teams were also double 10-figure favorites the last time out and they lost outright.

Teams seeking revenge have been successful since 2016. They have gone 70-12 SU and 54-25-3 ATS since then.

7. Better defensive teams are more successful in exacting revenge than prolific offensive teams. Since the start of the 2016 season, teams allowing 24 PPG or less have gone 489-436 ATS (52.9%) and those scoring 35 Ppg or more have went 308-339 AATS (47.6%).

Team A lost to Team B last time out. Team A is looking for revenge. Teams seeking revenge against opponents allowing 35 PPG or more on the season have been very successful, going 188-140 ATS (57.3%) since 2016.
