It's interesting to note that six of the bottom seven ranked teams have been struggling of late to cover the spread whereas the top 14 ranked teams on this list have either maintained a steady performance or have been hot in the past two weeks (i.e. Florida State).

By far Houston has been the best of the nationally ranked teams when it comes to profiting for sports bettors as they've managed to cover in eight of their last ten games while holding onto an 18-8 season record Against The Spread.  Those who consistently bet the Cougars spread this season at $1000 a clip should be up close to $10,000 with Houston (discounting any other wagers made).  The Cougars are ranked either eighth or ninth nationally depending on the poll.

The upward trajectory right now is Florida State as they currently sit at the .500 mark Against The Spread on the season.  Assuming they continue their current trend, those betting the Noles for the remainder of this season should see at least a small profit as they've covered in seven of their last ten games overall.
