Good question. I've got some early season data from the last couple years which I'll check when I get a chance and I'll let you know. There won't be enough for any big conclusion but it's worth a look. There is some strong theory to support betting early season dogs (i.e. - lines, being driven by bettor psychology, are more based on old reputations than current reality) but I have found it doesn't work in all sports all the time.

Personally, I'm just collecting research right now and won't start betting until the season gets going. It's something I may pick up in future years though.
