Favorites on fire, spreads tightening, and totals hovering in neutral territory
If you’re a dog bettor, grab the Advil — because the NBA Sports Betting Index (SBI) from ATSstats.com shows another scorching-hot run for favorites across the board. The chalk train just keeps rolling, and anybody trying to pick off underdog value is getting run over like a weak closeout on a corner three.
Let’s dig into where the market stands heading into Friday’s action.
Favorites SU YTD: 72.7% — BULLISH
If you’re waiting for the NBA parity wave, it hasn’t shown up yet. Favorites have now cashed over 70% SU for more than a month, which is an elite-level streak rarely seen this long in an NBA season.
| Time Range | % Favorites | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 67% | Bullish |
| 3 Days | 64% | Bullish |
| 7 Days | 71.6% | Bullish |
| YTD | 72.7% | Bullish |
This is a clear message: the better teams are winning, and the market hasn’t caught up yet. Books are forced to shade numbers higher, but even that hasn’t slowed favorites down.
Translation for bettors:
Moneyline hunting? Enjoy the free meals. But be smart — don’t eat chalk past -200 unless your bankroll likes pain.
Favorites ATS YTD: 58.2% — BULLISH
Even against the number, favorites continue to deliver profit. The ATS market has been just as friendly to chalk players, closing Wednesday at 67% favorites ATS, and staying well above 55% for the week and month.
| Time Range | Fav ATS % | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 67% | Bullish |
| 3 Days | 59% | Bullish |
| 7 Days | 66.9% | Bullish |
| YTD | 58.2% | Bullish |
With spreads increasingly tight, teams in strong form cycles (Bullish MVI in the Raymond Report) become the smart targets. Do NOT blindly ride every favorite; find the ones who dominate the value index and efficiency profiles.
Sharp Tip: The sweet spot right now is favorites between -3.5 and -7.5 — high cover probability without overpriced tax.
Overs YTD: 54.6% — Neutral
The totals market has been extremely balanced, showing neither a weather-driven collapse nor an offensive explosion.
| Time Range | Over % | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 67% | Bullish |
| 3 Day | 64% | Bullish |
| 7 Day | 56.4% | Neutral |
| YTD | 54.6% | Neutral |
Overs have picked up steam over the last few days, but the long-term signal is still equilibrium.
Playing the totals?
| Category | Trend | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SU Favorites | 🚀 Bullish | Top teams winning consistently |
| ATS Favorites | 💰 Bullish | Market hasn’t corrected fully |
| Overs | ⚖ Neutral | Balanced scoring environment |
We’re in a market phase where:
This cycle doesn’t last forever. When casual bettors start bragging about easy wins, the correction is usually right around the corner.
✔ Focus on efficient favorites with positive value cycles
✔ Avoid emotional dog chasing — the numbers say wait
✔ Totals require matchup research, not trend hunting
✔ Use Raymond Report systems and MVI to filter chalk from fool’s gold
Right now, riding chalk in the NBA is like shooting layups — high percentage and very profitable. The market is in a pure bullish cycle, and until we see regulation from the sportsbooks or a downtick in efficiency, the smartest money continues to stay on the strong.
