During the course of a long season often teams will go through a major change. This could come in the form of how the team plays or from personnel changes. Even the best teams will go through a slump and even the worst teams will go on a mini win streak. The markets are slow to react and struggle to catch up. This will give you a window of time to find value on a play on or play against mode of a particular team.
Just to mention a few events that can cause the market to go out of whack one way or the other: coaching change, major trade, injuries someone going on or off the DL, shake up of the starting roster, etc.
Every year in every sport you will find teams based on inaccurate forecasts, reputation vs. reality current results vs. year to date results that will provide you with value betting opportunities.
