See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities
By JASON LOGAN

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

Week 1 of the college football season has featured some close calls for BCS contenders in recent years, and this week’s slate of games will be no different. One potential stunner could come when the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners host the UL Monroe Warhawks as 23.5-point favorites Saturday. The Sooners are trying to budge their way to the front of the crammed Big 12 and have a huge game against West Virginia, which could help determine the final pecking order, in Week 2.

The Warhawks, who return 17 starters – including dual-threat QB Kolton Browning - and will contend for the Sun Belt crown, have a taste for early upsets. They started Arkansas’ 2012 tumble with a Week 1 upset and covered in three straight versus the Hogs, Auburn and Baylor to open last season. The 23.5 points are an awful lot with OU potentially looking past UL Monroe in the opener.

Letdown spot

The Montreal Alouettes can breathe a little easier after a thrilling come-from-behind win over the BC Lions last week. The Als earned just their third win of the summer and the first since firing head coach Dan Hawkins, despite missing veteran QB Anthony Calvillo as well as many other key players to injury.

That victory takes a lot of pressure off GM/interim coach Jim Popp but sets Montreal up for a big fall when it travels to Toronto September 3. The Als will likely send rookie QB Tanner Marsh out as the starter after a surprise showing versus the Lions, hoping for a repeat performance. The Argonauts spanked the Als 38-13 as 2-point road faves in early August, limiting Calvillo to 16-of-30 passing for 202 yards and an interception.

Schedule spot

The Connecticut Sun have a West Coast road trip at the worst possible time. The team has lost four straight and has just one win in its last eight outings, posting a depressing 2-6 ATS mark in that stretch. The Sun play three in a row against Western Conference foes, starting in Los Angeles Tuesday, then heading to Seattle and Phoenix before the month is through.

Connecticut is just 3-9 ATS on the road with plenty of that damage coming versus the West, who have dealt Sun backers a 2-7 ATS count this season. The Sun are scoring an average of 68.1 points away from home – almost six points less than as hosts – and have averaged 67.2 points in losses compared to a lofty 82.0 points in their seven wins.

2 UNIT = San Francisco Giants @ Colorado Rockies - ROCKIES TO WIN (-147)
Listed Pitchers: Zito vs Nicasio
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.36 units)

The Giants enter this game 58-72 on the season and 25-37 on the road. Colorado is 61-71 on the year and 36-27 on the season. Southpaw veteran Barry Zito will get the start tonight for the Giants and he is having a very rough season. He is 4-9 on the year with a 5.63 ERA, .318 OBA and 1.72 WHIP. On the road he is an awful 0-7 with a 9.45 ERA, .404 OBA, and 2.30 WHIP. In 7 appearances (3 starts) since the All Star break he is 0-2 with a 10.26 ERA, and in his latest start he went just 3.2 innings giving up 7 hits and 6 earned runs at home vs Boston. The Rockies will counter with Juan Nicasio who is 7-6 on the season with a 4.79 ERA. Despite being a hitters friendly park, Nicasio has excelled at home going 3-1 with a 3.95 ERA over 10 starts this year, with batters hitting just .212 against him. Take note that the Giants are just 8-22 in their last 30 games as a road underdog, 1-6 in Zito's last 7 starts, and 1-9 in his last 10 road starts. The Rockies are 6-1 in their last 7 home games, and 5-1 in Nicasio's last 6 starts vs divisional opponents. Colorado has won 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Giants at home. We will lay the chalk here on Colorado at home vs the Giants with Zito on the mound, who has been just awful on the road this year and overall as of late.

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: San Francisco at Colorado (8:40 PM Eastern)
Pick: San Francisco +138 (moneyline) at 5Dimes

Barry Zito is back in the rotation, and he worked seven scoreless innings here earlier in the season, and has proven he can hold down this Rockies' attack. Nicasio owns a 3.38 ERA vs. the Giants in three starts this season. The Rockies have been brutal facing left handed pitching, where they are just 25-54 in their last 79, and they have failed to win six straight times behind Nicasio on regular four days rest. Zito has gotten redemption following an ugly start where he failed to last four innings, as the Giants are 7-1 in his last eight in this spot. The Giants add to their 38-16 mark in the last 54 meetings. Play on San Francisco.
