Cavaliers vs Hawks NBA Preview
The "Bad ATS Teams, Off Another L" system identifies NBA teams that have struggled against the spread, but are poised for short-term correction after yet another disappointing performance. When a team consistently fails to cover and comes off another game in which it fell short of expectations, the market often overadjusts, shading lines too aggressively against them.
That overreaction opens value. In these situations, spreads move more on public perception than on true team quality. As the season moves beyond the early adjustment phase, these struggling ATS teams are often undervalued, especially as motivation spikes following repeated letdowns.
In these spots, public sentiment is low, pricing inefficiencies emerge, and disciplined bettors gain an edge by backing teams the market has temporarily abandoned.
