Sports Picks & Predictions

At 7 pm, our selection is on the VCU Rams + the points over Rhode Island.  The Rams have been installed as a home underdog, notwithstanding the fact that they've won 36 of their last 41 home games, straight-up (18-13-1 ATS).  VCU plays with revenge from a loss in the Atlantic 10 Tournament to Rhode Island.  And NCAA Teams have gone 46-14 ATS at home vs. .770 (or better) conference foes when playing with revenge from a Tourney defeat, if they were not favored by more than 4 points.  Take the Rams.  Atlantic 10 Game of the Week.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the St. Peters Peacocks minus the points over Niagara.  The Peacocks were upset by Siena, 59-57, in their last game, and have dropped their last six games, overall, to fall to 8-13 on the season.  Meanwhile, Niagara is 14-9, and comes into this game off back to back wins.  Yet St. Peters finds itself installed as a favorite in this game.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the underdog Purple Eagles.  But consider that teams off upset conference losses, that were on a 4-game (or worse) losing streak, have covered 16 of 17 (94.1% ATS) as home favorites vs. conference foes off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Take St. Peters.  NCAA Elite Info Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder over Denver.  The Thunder had won eight straight games before being upset in the Nation's Capital, on Tuesday.  The Wizards won that game, 102-96, as a 3-point underdog.  But I love Russell Westbrook & Co. to bounce back tonight, as they fall into a 95-35 ATS system of mine which plays on certain road teams in division games to bounce back off losses.  The Thunder are an awesome 110-75 ATS on the road since 1992 in the regular season off an upset loss.  And they're 12-3 SU and 9-5-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings vs. the Nuggets.  Take OKC.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Nashville Predators over the Los Angeles Kings.  The Preds will get left wing Filip Forsberg back in the fold tonight, which is great news since he's tied for the team lead with 15 goals.  Forsberg had missed Nashville's previous 11 games with an upper body injury.  But Nashville didn't miss a beat while he was out, as it was 6-3-2 in those 11 games.  The Preds did lose their last game -- at home, on Tuesday, to Chicago.  But they're still 16-8 in Nashville this season.  And they're 67-46 off a loss (and 27-18 off a home loss).  Take Nashville.  NHL Elite Info Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets over the Atlanta Hawks.  The Hawks upset Minnesota, 105-100, in their last game.  But we'll fade Atlanta today, as I love going against bad teams off wins (and the Hawks fall into a negative 49-108 ATS system of mine which fades certain such teams).  Also, Atlanta is an awful 4-9-1 ATS off a win this season, including 1-8-1 ATS vs. an opponent off a straight-up loss (and 0-3 vs. a foe off back to back losses).  Meanwhile, the Hornets are a super 58-30 ATS off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, when matched up against an opponent off a win.  Take Charlotte to blow out Atlanta.  NBA High Roller.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Panthers + the points over Miami.  The Panthers are not winning their games, straight-up, but they've been cashing tickets in Vegas.  Pitt has lost its last nine games, but has covered its last four.  And I love the Panthers tonight, as they fall into a 182-87 ATS system of mine, which plays on certain road teams off losses.  Even better:  ACC Conference teams, off five (or more) conference defeats, are 99-74-5 ATS since 1991.  Take Pittsburgh.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Rebels + the points over Auburn.  Ole Miss is 10-3 SU at home this season, and it's covered its last six home games in a row.  Mississippi did lose its last game, 85-72, at Texas.  But that bodes well for Mississippi tonight, as it's an awesome 44-25 ATS at home vs. SEC Conference foes if Ole Miss is off a double-digit loss, including 13-0 ATS its last 13 vs. foes with a .500 (or better) Conference record.  Take Mississippi + the points.  SEC Conference Game of the Month.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Stars over the Los Angeles Kings.  The Los Angeles All-Stars looked good over the weekend as the Pacific Division team took down the winning honors, but now it's back to reality for a team that was struggling mightily before the break.  The Kings had won just two of their last nine games heading into All-Star weekend, and if the season ended right now, they'd be on the outside looking in at the post-season (barely).  There's no question that injuries have played a major role in the Kings' recent demise as #2 C Jeff Carter continues to miss time after having surgery to repair ligament damage to his ankle.  And the Kings #1 goalie, Jonathan Quick, is on IR, although the break has done him some good and he should be ready to get back on Thursday.  The Stars lost their last game prior to the break, but they won the two before that by a combined score of 13-2 and are now 17-8 at home this season.  The Stars are 18-3 in home games after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game over the last two seasons.  Take Dallas.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Minnesota.  The Timberwolves dropped their fifth game of the last eight last night when they fell, 105-100, to the Atlanta Hawks.  And that loss lowered Minnesota's road record to 1-7 SU/ATS its last eight road games.  And its only win during this stretch was at the pedestrian LA Clippers.  But Minnesota's opponent tonight is anything but pedestrian.  Toronto owns the league's 3rd best margin of victory (7.29) and also its 3rd best net efficiency rating.  Even better for the Raptors:  since 1990, they've covered 60% at home when rested and playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season to a non-conference foe, if that foe was unrested.  Take Toronto.  NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over Phoenix.  The Suns had to play last night, and lost at Houston.  Meanwhile, Memphis has had the last two days off.  Even worse for Phoenix:  star Devin Booker is injured and is questionable to play tonight.  Since 1990, the Suns are a poor 39% ATS on the road in back to back road games, when playing without rest, and matched up against a rested opponent off back to back losses.  Take Memphis.  NBA ROADKILL WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over Oklahoma City.  Quietly, the 76ers have been the NBA's 2nd best team since Christmas.  Philly has won 10 of its last 13 games, including an upset win in San Antonio on Friday.  Not only did that victory vs. the Spurs snap a 13-game losing streak for the 76ers in San Antonio, but the 76ers also held the Spurs to a season-low 78 points.  Now, they'll attempt to snap another long losing streak when they take on the Thunder.  Interestingly, OKC owns the longest, current win streak vs. an opponent, as it's defeated the 76ers 17 straight times (12-5 ATS) since 2009.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the Thunder in this game.  But consider that teams on a 16-game (or worse) losing streak have actually done quite well over the years, as they're 49-22 ATS in the regular season since 1997.  Even worse for OKC is that it lost its best defensive player -- Anthony Roberson -- to injury in yesterday's win vs. Detroit.  Roberson is one of those players whose value cannot be overstated.  Indeed, with Roberson on the court, OKC has a defensive rating of 96.8 and a net rating of +8.5.  Without Roberson, OKC's defensive rating falls almost 11 points, to 107.7.  And its net rating decreases nine points, to -0.2.  Take Philly.  NBA High Roller Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Hoosiers + the points over Purdue.  The Hoosiers are a super 20-8 ATS as home underdogs vs. Big 10 Conference foes, provided Indiana's win percentage was .415 (or better).  That bodes well for the Hoosiers today, as does the fact that the home team is 28-19 in this rivalry.  Finally, teams (like Purdue) that have won their 15 previous games are a poor 67-92 ATS in the regular season as double-digit favorites vs. conference foes off a loss.  Take Indiana. 

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins + the points over Michigan St.  Maryland is 12-1 at home this season (7-2 ATS), and has also won 68 of its last 78 home games, straight-up.  The Terps are also 10-3 ATS their last 13 as home underdogs, and play this game with revenge from a 30-point defeat in East Lansing, on January 4.  We'll grab the points with Mark Turgeon's men, as revenge-minded teams with a .583 (or better) win percentage, and a home W/L percentage of at least .834, are 73.6% ATS as home underdogs of +3 or more points vs. .860 (or better) conference foes, provided our home dog doesn't have a winning conference record.  But that's not the best part:  if our home pup was playing with revenge from a loss by 16+ points earlier in the season, then our 73.6% angle zooms to 90% ATS since 1992.  Take Maryland.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Marquette Golden Eagles + the points over Villanova.  Marquette has been strong on its home court over the years.  It's 9-3 this season, and has won 34 of its last 45 at home.  Here, the Golden Eagles have been installed as a home underdog.  We'll grab the points, as home dogs of more than 5 points have covered 65% since 1993, if they've won at least 29 of their previous 40 home games, straight-up, and they're matched up against a .900 (or better) conference foe off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Take Marquette.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the UCLA Bruins minus the points over Stanford.  The Cardinal routed UCLA, 107-99, in Palo Alto earlier this month.  Unfortunately for Stanford, .583 (or worse) Pac-12 Conference underdogs are a dismal 1-24 ATS vs. revenge-minded conference foes off a win, if that foe didn't cover the spread in its previous game.  With the Bruins, indeed, off a win vs. California (but an ATS loss), we'll take UCLA tonight.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish minus the points over Virginia Tech.  We played on the Hokies this past Monday, and were rewarded when they upset the North Carolina Tar Heels, 80-69.  But I look for a letdown tonight, as Va Tech is a poor 31-46 ATS in the regular season off an upset win, including 0-7 ATS since 2009 when the line was 4 points or less.  Take Notre Dame.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons + the points over Louisville.  Wake Forest is on a six-game SU/ATS losing streak.  But road teams are a solid 75.8 ATS off six SU/ATS losses vs. .750 (or better) conference foes.  Take the Demon Deacons.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Cal Poly SLO Mustangs + the points over Cal Davis.  Cal Poly has dropped its last five games, including a loss at home to Long Beach St. on Thursday.  But we'll grab the points with Cal Poly tonight, as Big West Conference road underdogs are a super 74-39 ATS in conference games off a conference loss as a home underdog (or PK).  Moreover, Cal Poly falls into a 384-206 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back losses.  Take Cal Poly.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Bowling Green Falcons + the points over Toledo.  The Falcons were blown out, 93-62, as a 2-point road underdog on Tuesday by Northern Illinois.  And that was the Falcons' 2nd straight SU/ATS loss.  But Mid-American Conference teams are 45-20 ATS away from home as a double-digit underdog, if they failed to cover the spread by 11+ points in their previous game, and also lost SU/ATS two games back.  Take Bowling Green.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Yale Bulldogs minus the points over Dartmouth.  Yale was upset, at home by Harvard last night.  But we'll lay the points with Yale this evening vs. Dartmouth, as the Bulldogs are 15-1-1 ATS vs. Dartmouth when priced from -4.5 to -11.5 points.  And Yale also falls into a 137-76 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars + the points over Belmont.  The Cougars have dropped their last three games (both SU and ATS), while Belmont is on a 5-game SU/ATS win streak (including a 15-point win at Edwardsville 16 days ago).  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the 'hot' Bruins.  But consider that teams on 5-Game SU/ATS win streaks have only covered 32% the past 10 years vs. foes on 3-Game SU/ATS losing streaks (including just 16% vs. revenge-minded foes).  Take SIU-Edwardsville.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Tigers + the points over Cincinnati.  The Tigers are 13-7 on the season, but were blown out by 34 points earlier this year, 82-48, by these Bearcats.  We'll take Memphis in this re-match, as winning teams have cashed 69% since March 1991 when playing with revenge from a 20-point (or worse) loss earlier in the season, if they were a home dog of more than 9 points.  Take Memphis + the points.  NCAA Game of the Month.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Troy State Trojans + the points over Louisiana Lafayette.  The Trojans come into this game off a SU/ATS loss to Louisiana Monroe, and have dropped their last three games vs. the point spread.  But Troy is a fantastic 10-2 ATS off a Sun Belt Conference defeat.  And Sun Belt underdogs (or PK) are 63% ATS in conference games, if they're off a SU/ATS conference loss, and matched up against a foe off a home SU/ATS win vs. a conference foe.  Finally, Troy falls into several of my favorite systems, with records of 327-190, 502-344 and 378-231 ATS since 1990.  Take Troy St.  Sun Belt Game of the Year.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide over Oklahoma.  We played on the Sooners earlier this week and got the $$$ when they defeated Kansas, 85-80.  But I look for the Sooners have a letdown away from home this afternoon, as they're 0-3 SU/ATS their last three road games (compared to 6-0 SU and 4-1 ATS their last six home games).  And Oklahoma is an awful 0-9 ATS their last 9 as road favorites (and 3-18 ATS their last 21 away from home as a favorite).  Take Alabama.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Ball State Cardinals minus the points over Akron.  The Cardinals are off back to back SU losses (and four ATS losses), while the Zips are off back to back SU/ATS wins.  But we'll look for a reversal this afternoon, and lay the points with Ball State.  The Cardinals fall into a 71-22 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back losses, while Akron is an awful 0-9 ATS over the last year off back to back wins!  Take Ball State.  High Noon Hanging!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers come into this game off 3 straight upset wins.  But each of those games was at home.  This game, unfortunately, is on the road.  And the Lakers have won just six of their 21 road games this season.  Even worse:  the Lakers are a wallet-busting 27-57 ATS in the regular season off back to back SU/ATS wins, when playing an opponent off a SU loss.  With the Bulls, indeed, off a loss at Philadelphia, on Wednesday, we'll back Fred Hoiberg's men tonight.  Lay the points with Chicago.  NBA Roadkill Winner!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Indiana.  The Cavaliers are certainly scuffling of late.  They were upset, 114-102, by the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.  And that was Cleveland's ninth straight point spread defeat.  And, yes, it's also true that the Pacers have already defeated the Cavaliers in the season's first two meetings.  But NBA favorites, playing with double-revenge from two losses earlier in the season, are a solid 127-93 (58% ATS) in the regular season since 1990 if they're also off an upset loss in their previous game.  Moreover, Cleveland falls into 60-24 and 90-46 ATS revenge systems of mine, as well as 85-38 and 83-37 ATS angles which play on certain teams off back to back losses.  Finally, in his career, LeBron James' teams have cashed 71% off back to back losses, when favored by more than 5 vs. teams off back to back wins.  Take the Cavaliers on Friday.  NBA Game of the Month!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Arizona Coyotes.  Arizona has the worst record in the NHL (least amount of points) and if you want to know how bad they've been this season, consider the following.  The Coyotes come into tonight having beaten the Blues and Islanders in their last two games, and that marks only the second time this season that Arizona has won two-in-a-row.  The Jackets on the other hand are in a bit of a funk, having lost three of their last four games, but if there is anything that might lift them out of their doldrums, it just might be a game against tonight's opponent.  The Blue Jackets have absolutely dominated this series lately, taking each of the last five meetings going back to November of 2015.  Also, Columbus is 8-0 when coming off of losses of three or more goals (it lost to Vegas by 6-3 in its last game).  The Coyotes are 3-13 in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.  Take the Jackets.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Wichita State Shockers minus the points over Central Florida.  The Shockers were "shocked" in their last two games, as they were upset by SMU (as a 9.5-point favorite) eight days ago, and then also lost at Houston (as a 3-point favorite) on Saturday.  I look for Wichita to bounce back at home tonight, as it is 21-8-1 ATS when favored (or PK) at home off an upset conference defeat.  Take the Shockers.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Montana State Bobcats minus the points over Northern Arizona.  It's true that the Bobcats are on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak.  But two of those three previous opponents (Portland State and Montana) owned win percentages of .687 and .722, so it wasn't a great surprise that the Bobcats lost those games.  Here, however, Montana State's opponent has won just three of its 20 games this season, and has lost its last seven in a row.  The Bobcats have done great this year against inferior opposition, as they're 5-0 straight-up and 4-1 ATS when favored by more than 5 points.  Also, the Bobcats fall into a 90-36 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Lay the wood with Montana State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls + the points over Florida International.  The Owls are on a 3-Game SU/ATS losing streak, but I love them to bounce back tonight, at home, as an underdog, as they fall into a 101-50 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Additionally, dating back to 1990, Conference USA home underdogs are an awesome 62.2% in conference games off 3 SU/ATS losses, including 70.2% if they lost by double-digits in their previous game.  With Rice, indeed, off a 69-54 loss to Louisiana Tech, we'll take the Owls on Thursday night.  NCAA Roadkill Winner!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers minus the points over Texas Arlington.  The Panthers are on a huge roll right now, as they've won their last 5, and covered their last 3.  I look for them to stay 'red-hot,' as they fall into a momentum system of mine which is 174-94 ATS since 1990.  Even better:  the Mavericks blew out Louisiana-Monroe, 71-55, last Saturday, but are an awful 5-18 ATS in conference games off a 16-point win.  Lay the points with Georgia State.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the San Diego St. Aztecs minus the points over Colorado St.  The Aztecs have lost their last three games, including an upset loss on the road to New Mexico, 79-75, on Saturday.  But I look for SDSU to bounce back, as it's 20-10 ATS as a favorite vs. conference foes, if the Aztecs were off back to back conference losses.  And the Aztecs also fall into a 136-76 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Lay the points with San Diego St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Cal Riverside Highlanders + the points over Cal Irvine.  Riverside has lost its last seven games (and has failed to cover its last three).  But we'll grab the points with the Highlanders on Wednesday, as they fall into a 384-205 ATS system of mine which plays on certain underdogs off losses.  Moreover, Big West Conference double-digit underdogs off a pointspread defeat, that don't have a winning ATS record on the season, are a super 118-82 ATS vs. conference foes.   And, finally, the Highlanders are a sensational 40-10-3 ATS as conference road underdogs when playing with at least four days' of rest.  Take Cal Riverside.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the San Jose St. Spartans + the points over Boise St.  Both teams come into this game off a loss to Nevada.  The Spartans fell, 71-54, at home to Nevada a week ago, while Boise lost to Nevada on Saturday, 74-68.  San Jose St. falls into one of my favorite systems, which is 182-86 ATS since 1990.  Also, Boise is a poor 2-9 ATS at home off a loss, if it's matched up against a conference foe also off a loss.  Take San Jose.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers minus the points over Auburn.  Missouri was blown out last weekend, 60-49, by Texas A&M.  However, Mizzou is a super 7-0-2 ATS its last nine off a conference loss by more than 10 points, if its opponent was off a win.  Take Missouri.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Illinois Illini minus the points over Indiana.  Illinois comes into this game off a loss, 87-74, as a 12-point home underdog to Michigan State.  But the Illini are a super 95-61 ATS off a straight-up loss to a conference foe, if they were an underdog in that previous game.  And Illinois also falls into a 44-12 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back conference losses.  Take the Illini.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Atlanta.  The Raptors were upset by the Timberwolves in their previous game, while Atlanta pulled off an upset of the Utah Jazz.  Unfortunately, that upset win by Atlanta has triggered several of my better NBA systems that go against certain bad teams off wins.  Even worse for the Hawks:  Toronto's a solid 29-20 ATS off back to back ATS losses, while Atlanta's a poor 0-5 ATS this season off a double-digit win.  Lay the points with the Raptors.  NBA High Roller Winner!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Los Angeles.  The Lakers are off back to back SU/ATS wins vs. Indy and the Knicks.  Unfortunately, the Lakers are a miserable 26-57 ATS in the regular season off back to back SU/ATS wins, when playing an opponent off a SU loss.  With the Celtics, indeed, off a loss (actually 3 losses), we'll lay the points with Brad Stevens' men on Tuesday.  Take Boston.  NBA Road Warrior Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Montreal Canadiens over the Colorado Avalanche.  Last night we gave out the Toronto Maple Leafs, going against the red-hot Avs who had won nine in a row.  That didn't turn out to be a winning strategy as Colorado made it 10 straight in beating the Leafs by a 4-2 final.  Even though they won that game in Toronto, the Avalanche are still just 9-11 away from Denver this season, and Montreal hasn't always been a very friendly place for them.  In fact, the last time they met here, the Canadiens embarrassed the Avalanche by racking up double-digit goals in a 10-1 rout.  Now, granted, that game was in December of 2016, but it serves as perhaps a warning that a team on a 10-game winning streak just might be vulnerable in what has historically been one of the toughest places in the league for opposing teams.  The home team is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.  And Montreal's also a super 14-4 off a home loss by more than 2 goals.  Take the Canadiens.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners over Kansas.  We played against the Sooners in their last game, and got the $$$ when the Cowboys upset them, 83-81, in overtime.  That was Oklahoma's second straight loss -- both as a 2-point road favorite -- but I love them to bounce back, in Norman, tonight.  Oklahoma is 9-0 straight-up at home this season, and 37-21 ATS as a home favorite of -6 or less points (or PK).  Take Oklahoma.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders minus the points over Oklahoma State.  The Cowboys pulled off an upset of their rival, Oklahoma, in Stillwater, on Saturday.  I look for a letdown tonight in Lubbock, as Oklahoma State falls into a negative 32-72 ATS system of mine which goes against certain teams off upset wins.  Also, the Cowboys are an awful 47-74 ATS off a home conference win, while the Red Raiders are 36-20 ATS at home off a blowout loss by 15+ point (Texas Tech lost, 70-52, at Iowa State on Saturday).  Take the Red Raiders.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Arkansas Razorbacks over Georgia.  The Bulldogs were blown out by 14 points, 79-65, in their last game at Auburn.  They now return home to take on Arkansas.  Unfortunately, Georgia falls into a negative 38% ATS system of mine which fades certain home favorites off blowout losses by 14+ points.  Take the Razorbacks.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears minus the points over Kansas State.  These two teams met in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, and the Wildcats upset the Bears, 70-64, as as 4.5-point underdog.  That upset loss has triggered one of my favorite 'revenge' systems tonight, which is 94-44 ATS since 1990.  Even better:  the Wildcats are an awful 11-32 ATS away from home when priced from +3.5 to +8.5 points, including 2-19 ATS vs. .770 (or worse) opposition.  Take Baylor! NCAA Payback Payday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Colorado Avalanche.  The hottest team in the National Hockey League?  Hard to believe, but it's the Colorado Avalanche with nine straight victories coming into tonight.  But nine of the last 10 Avs games have been at home.  And now they go on the road for their next six games, five of which are in Canada, including tonight's meeting in Toronto.  At home in the Pepsi Center, the Avs feature one of the largest differentials in the league (1.12) with a 3.65 Goal-scoring average compared to a 2.54 Goals-against.  But away from Denver, that differential changes to -0.47 (2.48 vs. 3.32).  Colorado's streak began with a 4-3 overtime win against the Leafs at home but Toronto out-shot Colorado by 34-28 in that game back on December 29.  The Avalanche is 16-35 in its last 51 road games against teams with a winning home record and 14-41 in its last 55 road games overall.  And it's 1-12 on the road after scoring more than 2 goals in each of its two previous games.  Take the Maple Leafs.  NHL Elite Info Winner!  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento Kings + the points over Charlotte.  The Kings have dropped their last seven games, and have gone 1-6 ATS over that span.  That's the bad news.  But the good news is that they are catching double-digits tonight (their lone point spread win in their last seven games was when they were a double-digit underdog), and are also playing with two days' of rest.  And NBA Double-Digit underdogs have gone 147-91 ATS in the regular season off a SU/ATS loss, when they were playing with at least two days' of rest, and were also on a 3-game (or worse) losing streak.  Take the Kings.  NBA Road Warrior Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Tech Hokies + the points over North Carolina.  The Hokies have been installed as a home underdog tonight.  But I look for an upset, as they are 10-2 SU and 5-3 ATS in Blacksburg this season.  And Virginia Tech falls into a 129-60 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home underdogs with strong home courts.  Even better:  the Hokies are a solid 12-1 ATS since 2016 as home underdogs (or PK).  And they're 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings vs. North Carolina, including 8-2 ATS when priced from +2.5 to +12.5 points.  Take the Hokies + the points.  NCAA Roadkill Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Over in the Philadelphia/Minnesota game.  The Eagles have played three extremely low-scoring games in a row.  Last week, they defeated Atlanta, 15-10.  Prior to that, they were shut out by Dallas, 6-0, and won 19-10 vs. Oakland.  Those three games went 'under' their respective totals by 15, 35 and 17 points.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the 'under' in this game, but the Over falls into a 65.3% Totals system of mine which plays on certain teams off Unders to reverse course and play a high-scoring game.  Also, the Eagles have gone 'Over' 81% since 1999 off 3 or more Unders, while Playoff favorites (like Minnesota) off a high-scoring playoff game in which more than 51 points were scored, have gone 'Over' the total 64% since 1997.  Take the Over.  NFL Total of the Week.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Over in the New England/Jacksonville game.  We played on the Over last week in both the New England/Tennessee game, and the Jacksonville/Pittsburgh game, and got the cash in each.  And we'll come right back with the Over for this game.  The Patriots have now gone 8-0-1 Over in their last nine Playoff games at home or on a neutral field!  And the Jaguars are currently riding a 4-2 Over streak.  Also, since 1988, NFL Playoff teams have gone 'Over' the total 70% of the time after scoring 44+ points in their previous playoff game (and 79% if the Over/Under line was 45+ points).  Take the 'Over.'  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 3:05 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New England Patriots minus the points over Jacksonville.  Last week, we played on both Jacksonville and New England, and easily got the $$$ with both.  As I mentioned last week, in our analysis of the Tennessee/New England game, in the NFL Playoffs, road underdogs of +3.5 or more points are awful off an upset win (now 39-80-1 ATS).  That same angle applies to Jacksonville, here, off its upset win at Pittsburgh.  Moreover, the Jaguars fall into a negative 2-23 ATS Playoff system of mine, as well as a 33-88 ATS angle.  Finally, favorites priced from -2.5 to -9.5 are 37-19 ATS in the Conference Championship round since 1984.  Take the Patriots.  Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over the Philadelphia Flyers.  Philly comes into this game off a win yesterday afternoon vs. New Jersey, while the Capitals had yesterday off following their home loss to Montreal, on Friday.  The Caps will be playing with revenge from an 8-2 blowout loss to Philly earlier this season. That game, however, set up very well for Philly, as it was the well-rested team that night (with the previous three days off), while the Caps were unrested.  With the tables turned this afternoon, we'll back Washington, which is 20-6 off back to back losses, and 24-8 when playing with revenge from a road loss.  Take Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Sharks over the Pittsburgh Penguins.  The Sharks lost their last game on the road to the red-hot Avalanche.  You can bet that the Sharks are happy to be back home at the SAP Center after playing eight of their last nine away from Silicon Valley.  San Jose is 13-8 here at home this season vs. just 11-12 on the road, and this game represents a bit of a revenge situation for the Sharks as they lost to the Penguins in the 2016 Stanley Cup finals, four games to two.  This season's version of the Penguins appears to be a notch or two below that 2016 team which tallied 48 wins and 104 points.  The Pens are 15-8 at home this season but just 10-15 away from the Steel City.  The Pens are 3-7 in their last 10 games following a win as well as 2-8 in their last 10 vs. teams from the Western Conference.  San Jose allowed five goals in that loss to the Avs and the Sharks are 21-8 in their last 29 after allowing five or more goals in their previous game.  Take the Sharks.  NHL High Roller Winner.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte 49ers (rotation #653) + the points over Florida International.  The 49ers fall into my favorite NCAA Basketball system, which is 327-189 ATS since 1990.  Additionally, the Golden Panthers are a poor 83-113 ATS at home, including 51-74 ATS off a loss.  Take the points with Charlotte. Conference USA Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards over Detroit.  The Wizards lost at Charlotte on Wednesday, which was its seventh straight point spread defeat.  We'll back the Wizards on Friday, as road teams are 74-38 ATS off a loss, if they're rested, and are on a 7-game (or worse) point spread losing streak.  Take Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Florida Panthers over the Vegas Golden Knights.  Tonight, the Golden Knights wrap up their tour of Florida and it might be a bit of a letdown because last night's game against the Lightning in Tampa featured the top two conference teams going against each other.  But it wasn't much of a contest as the Knights steamrolled the home team in a 4-1 blowout, so they have to be wary of taking their foot off the gas on back-to-back nights against an apparent inferior opponent.  The Panthers did lose their last game at home, 4-2, to the Flames a week ago.  But prior to that they won four straight here at the BB&T Center, out-scoring their opponents by 10-4 over those games.  There's no denying that the Knights have had an incredible maiden season so far.  But at some point, the multitude of injuries will likely catch up to them.  Vegas currently has no fewer than seven regulars either on IR, out indefinitely, or questionable due to various maladies.  The Panthers are 20-8 in their last 28 games playing on three or more days rest.  Take Florida.  NHL High Roller Winner.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Santa Clara Broncos + the points over the San Francisco Dons.  Santa Clara was blown out, 84-50, at home by BYU in its last game.  But it's a super 38-13 ATS in the regular season away from home off a loss by more than 10 points.  And it also falls into a 73-26 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take the Broncos + the points.

At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Houston.  The T-Wolves were upset in their last game by the Orlando Magic, 108-102, as an 8.5 point favorite.  And Orlando had lost its last seven games going into that contest, while Minny was on a 5-game win streak!  So, it's likely the Timberwolves were looking past the Magic, and forward to this game, tonight, vs. the 2nd-seeded Rockets.  We'll play on the T-Wolves, as NBA teams off an upset loss (as a 6-point, or greater favorite) to a team on a 7-game (or worse) losing streak, have cashed 62% in the regular season since 1990, including 24-8, 75% ATS vs. foes with a .650 (or better) win percentage.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers + the points over Michigan.  The Wolves are ranked among the Top 25, with a 16-4 SU and 11-8 ATS record, but will have a tough time, tonight, in Lincoln.  Nebraska's been exceptionally strong at home this season, as it's 10-1 SU and 7-2 ATS on the year.  The Huskers are a perfect 2-0 ATS this season as home underdogs, as they lost by 1 (getting 12) vs. Kansas, and then also upset Minnesota, 78-68, as a 9-point home dog.  Since 1990, Nebraska's a super 63% ATS as home underdogs vs. conference foes with a winning ATS record, including 19-6 ATS if the 'Huskers were off an ATS loss.  With Nebraska, indeed, off a point spread defeat this past Monday vs. Illinois, we'll grab the points with Nebraska.  NCAA Roadkill Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers over South Alabama.  The Chanticleers have lost their last five games SU/ATS.  But I love them tonight, as they fall into a 383-238 ATS system of mine, which plays on certain teams with poor records.  Even better:  the Jaguars have covered just 33% at home over the past 28 years vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Take Coastal Carolina.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets + the points over Virginia.  The Yellow Jackets have won their last four games, straight-up, and have covered the spread in their last five.  That bodes well for them as a home underdog, as home dogs are 45-13 ATS off 3 SU/ATS wins if they own a winning ATS record, and their foe is also off a SU/ATS win.  Take Georgia Tech.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Dallas Stars.  The bye week couldn't have come at a better time for the Columbus Blue Jackets who had lost back to back games to two of the worst teams in the league -- the Canucks and Sabres -- back on January 11 and 12.  And those two games weren't really close (5-2 and 3-1 respectively).  So having extra time to regroup, reload, and forget about those awful defeats can only be a good thing for a team that's still just six points behind the first-place Capitals.  This will be the second meeting of these two teams already for 2018 (they didn't meet at all in 2017).  The puck usually bounces in Columbus' direction in this match-up as the Jackets are 4-0 in the last four meetings and 8-2 in the last 10.  There's another reason why the time off should serve the Jackets well:  they are 9-1 in their last 10 games when playing on three or more days' rest.  Take Columbus.  NHL Roadkill.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Fresno St Bulldogs (rotation #785) plus the points over San Diego St.  The Bulldogs are on a seven-game ATS losing streak.  But in none of those games were they a road underdog.  And that's Fresno's best point spread role, as it's 48-23 ATS its last 71 as a road dog.  Moreover, Fresno St falls into a 154-88 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 6+ ATS defeats.  Take the Bulldogs.  NCAA Road Warrior Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Anaheim Ducks over the Pittsburgh Penguins.  It's been a rough week for the Pittsburgh Sports scene.  The Steelers were upset in their first-round playoff game at home by the Jags, while the Pirates traded two of their best -- and most popular -- players (Cole and McCutchen) virtually guaranteeing losing seasons on the horizon.  Of course , the Steel City still has the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins.  But right now a return to the post-season -- never mind a three-peat -- is far from certain for the Pens, who were very inconsistent in the first half.  They've played better of late, winning four in a row coming into tonight, but inter-conference match-ups have presented a challenge this season as they are just 6-13 vs. West teams.  The Ducks will be happy to return home after a tough, five-game road trip that saw them go just 2-3.  Pittsburgh's #1 goalie Matt Murray has missed two games due to a personal matter and is questionable for tonight.  The home team is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings.   Take Anaheim.  NHL High Roller Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Utah State Aggies (rotation #767) + the points over Boise St.  Utah State is off back to back SU/ATS losses.  But those two defeats have triggered a 382-205 ATS system of mine which plays on certain underdogs off back to back SU/ATS losses.  And the Broncos are also a poor 1-8 ATS as double-digit favorites vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take Utah St.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the TCU Horned Frogs (rotation #764) minus the points over Iowa St.  Jamie Dixon's men have suffered three straight close losses -- by 4, 1 and 5 points.  Those defeats have lowered the Horned Frogs' record to 13-4.  But I love them to rebound at home, tonight, as a double-digit favorite vs. the Cyclones, as they've covered 67% since 1990 as a favorite off back-to-back losses vs. conference foes off a SU/ATS win.  Take the Horned Frogs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the St Johns Red Storm (rotation #761) + the points over Xavier.  The Johnnies have lost six straight games, but I love them to bounce back tonight, as they fall into a 180-86 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off losses.  Also, St Johns is 24-11 ATS as an underdog of +11 or more points off a loss when playing a foe off a win.  Grab the points with the underdog Red Storm.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Billikens (rotation #758) minus the points over Duquesne.  St Louis lost, 86-81, last Saturday at George Mason.  But the Billikens generally bounce back off losses, and they're a perfect 12-0 ATS the past two seasons off a road loss.  Take St Louis.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards over Charlotte.  The Wizards have dropped their last six games to the point spread, including an upset loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.  I love Washington to rebound tonight, as it falls into a 94-36 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams in division games to bounce back off upset losses.  Also, the Wizards are a fantastic 21-10 ATS on the road in the regular season when playing with revenge, including 4-1 ATS in division games.  And they're 13-3 ATS their last 16 as underdogs.  Take Washington.  NBA Division Game of the Month.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide (rotation #746) over Auburn.   The Tigers have won 14 straight (and have covered their last four) heading into this game at rival Alabama.  But I look for the Tide to snap that win streak tonight, as it falls into a 93-48 ATS 'contrarian' system of mine which goes against certain 'hot' teams.  The Crimson Tide are also 6-0 ATS as a home underdog vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Take Alabama.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Texas A&M Aggies minus the points over Ole Miss.  Texas A&M comes into this game off five straight losses.  But the Aggies are a super 49-16 ATS off a loss vs. foes not off a SU/ATS loss, if the Aggies are at home or on a neutral court, and have a .440 (or better) win percentage.  Lay the points with A&M.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Pitt.  The Panthers have been poor over the last 28 years as underdogs of more than 16 points, as they've covered just 18 percent of the time.  Meanwhile, Syracuse is 37-20 ATS in Conference play when it didn't own a winning conference record (Syracuse is currently 1-4 in ACC play).  Finally, the Orange fall into a 68-27 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams on 4-game (or worse) losing streaks, and they're 10-2 ATS at home vs. conference foes.  Take Syracuse.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New Jersey Devils over the New York Islanders.  With a 5-4 overtime victory in Montreal last night, the Islanders have now won three games in a row after losing five straight prior to that.  The Devils on the other hand are in the midst of their worst stretch of the season, having lost six straight after dropping a home game to Flyers on Saturday.  That losing streak includes an overtime, shoot-out defeat to this Isles club about a week ago, 5-4 right here in New York.  But the Devils may have been more unlucky than anything in that loss as they put a whopping 46 shots on goal against the Isles (while facing 38) and they will win most of the time when they do that.  In fact, three of New Jersey's six losses during this streak have come in OT or SO.  The Devils will look to get the monkey off their back as they head back to Barclays Center tonight for a little revenge.  The travel from Montreal to Brooklyn shouldn't be a big deal, but this has not been an ideal situation for the Isles who are 1-4 in their last five games when playing on zero days' rest.  Meanwhile, New Jersey is 15-5 off a home game this season, including 5-3 off a home loss.  Take the Devils.  NHL Game of the Month.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Vanderbilt Commodores + the points over Mississippi State.  Vanderbilt certainly hasn't made many friends in Las Vegas this season, as it's 1-13 ATS.  On the other hand, Mississippi State has been barely much better, as it's 3-9 ATS on the year.  We'll grab the points with the Commodores, as they fall into 26-0 and 81-32 ATS systems of mine which play on certain teams off SU/ATS losses.  And it also falls into a 57-17 ATS angle of mine which plays on certain SEC Conference teams off 4+ ATS losses.  Take Vanderbilt.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Illinois Illini + the points over Nebraska, as Illinois falls into 23-1, 179-86 and 18-0 ATS systems of mine.  The Illini come into this game off three straight losses -- all in Conference play -- to Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa.  But Illinois is a fantastic 12-3 ATS on the road off 3+ losses.  And it's also 5-1 ATS this season off an ATS loss.  Meanwhile, Nebraska's covered just 36% over the past 20 years off 4+ ATS wins.  Take Illinois.  Big 10 Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Miami Florida Hurricanes + the points over Duke.  Miami comes into this game with a 13-3 record, and has been installed as a home underdog vs. Duke.  We'll grab the points with Miami, as it falls into a 64-33 ATS "Power Home Dog" angle of mine which plays on certain strong teams when catching points at home.  Additionally, Miami's a strong 135-95 ATS as an underdog.  Take the Hurricanes + the points.  NCAA Roadkill Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Kings over the San Jose Sharks.  We're used to seeing one of both of these teams near the top of the standings in their Division.  But there is a New Kid in town this season out West as the Vegas Golden Knights not only lead the Pacific, but are out in front in the Western Conference.  But that doesn't mean a game between the Sharks and Kings won't be intense and important.  The Kings come into this afternoon having lost three straight, while the Sharks had lost three in a row before winning their last game, 6-5 at home.  And while breaking a three-game losing streak by scoring six goals may sound like a breakthrough, it should be noted that that game was against the lowly Arizona Coyotes (the worst team in the NHL) and the Sharks needed overtime to get the W.  Their biggest problem is that they have now allowed 25 goals in their last six games and that doesn't bode well against a very good offensive team like the Kings.  The Sharks are 3-14 in their last 17 road games vs. teams with a winning home record.  Take L.A.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 3:35 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat over the Chicago Bulls.  The Bulls come into this game off back to back upset wins over the Knicks and Pistons.  But those two upsets have set up Chicago in several negative systems of mine which go against losing teams off back to back upsets.  Moreover, Chicago's a poor 67-97 ATS at home off an upset win, while Miami's a solid 33-17 ATS as a road underdog.  Take the Heat.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Cavaliers minus the points over NC State.  The Wolfpack pulled off back to back upsets in their last two games -- 78-77 over Clemson (which was 13-1) and 96-85 over Duke (which was 13-1).  But both of those games were at home, in Raleigh.  Today's game is at Charlottesville.  And NC State was blown out (by scores of 78-62 and 88-58) in its only two road games this season.  Even worse:  NCAA teams have covered just 31% since 1990 (at Game 18 forward) if they upset two .833 (or better) teams in their two previous games.  Take Virginia.  NCAA Roadkill.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:40 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the 'over' in the Minnesota/New Orleans game, as it falls into 46-19, 47-15 and 96-57 Totals systems of mine.  The Saints are averaging over 28 points per game this season.  And in the NFL playoffs, teams that average more than 27.45 ppg have gone 'Over' the total 62.26% of the time when the over/under line is more than 43 points.  Additionally, New Orleans is 9-2 'Over' its last 11 when the line was between 42 and 49 points.  And Playoff games where at least one team is rested have gone 'over' the total 57% since 1980.  This will be a high-scoring game.  Take the 'over.'  NFL Total of the Year!  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:40 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints + the points over Minnesota.  The Vikings come into this game off three wins.  And they held each of their last three foes to 10 or less points.  Now, the Vikes are favored by less than a touchdown vs. the Saints.  Unfortunately, in the NFL Playoffs, home favorites priced from -4 to -7 points are 0-9 ATS over the last 20 seasons if they held each of their previous two opponents to 10 points or less.  It's true that the Saints are off back to back ATS defeats.  But New Orleans is 40-22 ATS as a road underdog of +3 or more points off an upset loss.  And Minnesota has covered just 24 of 73 games vs. foes off back to back ATS defeats, if the Vikings were off a win.  Take the Saints.  NFL High Roller.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Calgary Flames.  The Hurricanes come into this game against the red-hot Flames (no pun intended) having just split a home-and-home series with the Caps -- but not in the way you would expect.   First, the 'Canes went into DC and beat the Caps on their home ice -- breaking their 10-game winning streak there.  But then they came home and lost a close one to them the following night.  But no doubt Carolina wishes it could have the last four minutes of that one back as the Caps got two very late goals, including the game winner with under one second to play in regulation.  So the Canes will take out their frustration back home this afternoon against a Flames squad that has won six straight coming into this afternoon match-up.  The home team is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings of these two teams while the Canes are 10-4 in their last 14 home games vs. teams with a winning road record.  Take Carolina.  NHL Game of the Week. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Jacksonville Jaguars + the points over Pittsburgh.  The Jaguars come into today's game off three straight point spread defeats.  That will keep many bettors off Jacksonville.  But not me.  Indeed, since 1984, NFL Playoff teams have cashed 15 of 19 if they were on a 3-game (or worse) ATS losing streak, provided they were not favored by 3 or more points.  And if their opponent was off back to back wins, then our system zooms to 11-1 ATS.  Jacksonville also falls into 30-1 and 82-22 ATS systems of mine.  Take the Jags + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the 'Over' in the Pittsburgh/Jacksonville game.  In the Jaguars' last game, they managed to score just 10 points, in a 10-3 win.  That game's combined point total of 13 points will keep many bettors off the 'Over' here, but that knee-jerk reaction will more than likely be the wrong move.  Indeed, NFL games have gone 'Over' in 46 of 70 games, with Over/Under lines less than 43 points, if one of the teams played a game the previous week which didn't total 14+ points.  Moreover, the Steelers are 26-8 'Over' the total in the Playoffs when the line was less than 47 points, including 13-0 'Over' since Jan. 11, 1998 when they played at home, or on a neutral field.  And the Jags have gone 'Over' the total 44 of 71 when the Over/Under line was 44 or less, and the Jags went 'Under' the total in their previous game.  Finally, the Over falls into a 51-24 Playoff Totals system of mine.  Take the 'Over.'  NFL Elite Info Totals Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Denver.  The Nuggets played last night (and won), while the Spurs had Friday night off.  That sets up our play tonight, as San Antone is a perfect 16-0 ATS since February 2010, if they're not laying more than 10 points vs. an unrested foe, and the Spurs failed to cover the spread by more than 8 points in their previous game.  With the Spurs off a double-digit upset loss to the Lakers, we'll look for San Antone to rebound tonight.  Lay the points.  NBA High Roller Winner.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the 'Over' in the New England/Tennessee game.  The Patriots have played 15 home playoff games over the last 11 seasons.  And just three of those 15 games have gone 'Under' the total!  That bodes well for this being a high-scoring game.  Additionally, the 'Over' falls into a 61-29 Totals system of mine.  Take the 'Over.'  Good luck, as always…Al McMordie.

At 8:15 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the New England Patriots minus the points over Tennessee.  Last week, the Titans came back from an 18-point deficit to stun the Kansas City Chiefs, 22-21, as an 8.5-point underdog.  Unfortunately, since 1982, in the NFL Playoffs, road underdogs of +3.5 or more points are an awful 39-77-1 ATS off an upset win.  That doesn’t bode well for the Titans on Saturday.  Nor does the fact that the Patriots are 6-0 straight-up and 5-1 ATS at home in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs the past six seasons.  Finally, over the past 26 years, NFL double digit road underdogs, with a win percentage less than .700, have covered just 4 of 24 Playoff games, including 0-7 ATS the past seven seasons.  Take New England.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks (rotation #647) + the points over La Lafayette.  La Monroe was upset, 79-73, by Appalachian State last Saturday.  However, it's a super 9-1 ATS on the road off an upset loss!  It's also 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings in this rivalry.  And it falls into a 526-387 ATS system of mine which plays on certain double-digit conference underdogs off SU/ATS home losses.  Take the points with Monroe.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New Jersey Devils over the Philadelphia Flyers.  To say the the Devils have been a streaky team of late would be a huge understatement.  In their last 10 games -- going back almost a month -- the Devils have won five in a row (December 15 - 27) followed by a five-game losing streak heading into tonight.  Obviously, they're hoping to begin another string of victories, and with the Flyers coming to town they have a very good chance to do just that.  The Flyers come in having won three straight, but two of those were against the Islanders and Sabres, the two cellar-dwellers in the Eastern Conference.  Prior to the win streak, the Flyers had lost four of five.  More importantly for tonight, Philly is just 8-11 on the road this season.  And the Flyers #1 D-man, Shayne Gostisbehere, has been battling an illness and will likely not be available for this game.  The Flyers are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings with the Devils in New Jersey and the home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings, overall.  Moreover, the Devils are 53-24 at home off 3+ losses.  Take the Devils. NHL Roadkill. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Wofford Terriers (rotation #702) over Furman.  The Paladins have covered seven straight games.  But this ATS hot streak has set them up in several negative systems of mine, including one which is 25-72 ATS.  We'll take Wofford here, at home, on Saturday, as the Terriers are 25-11 ATS in their last 36 lined games.  And Wofford's also 17-6 SU and 16-7 ATS vs. Furman since 2007, including 9-2 ATS at home.  Take Wofford.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Oregon State Beavers (rotation #617) + the points over Arizona State.  We've gone against the Sun Devils three times in the past two weeks, and have won each of those three plays.  We'll go against Arizona State, once again, on Saturday, as I continue to believe it is overvalued following its 12-0 start to the season.  It's now lost three of its last four games (with 0 ATS wins in those four games).  And it falls into a negative 341-500 ATS system of mine.  Moreover, Oregon State is a fantastic 28-11-1 ATS as an underdog of more than 7 points vs. foes off upset losses.  Take the Beavers.

At 4:35 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Philadelphia Eagles + the points over Atlanta.  The Eagles are the #1 seed in the NFC, but stumbled into the playoffs with three straight ATS defeats to end the season, including a 6-0 shutout loss in their final game.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play against Philly.  But NFL teams have gone 10-0 ATS in their initial playoff game, if they lost against the point spread in their last three regular season games; they weren't favored by 3+ points; and their foe was NOT off back to back ATS losses.  Additionally, the Eagles fall into 76-16, 29-1 and 81-22 ATS systems of mine.  Finally, home underdogs are a solid 24-13 ATS in the Playoffs, while home teams are 12-1 ATS off shutout home losses, when matched up against foes off SU/ATS wins.  Take Philly + the points.  NFL Game of the Week.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:35 pm, our selection is on the 'Over' in the Atlanta/Philadelphia game.  The Falcons have gone 'Under' in six straight games.  But this should be a relatively high-scoring game, as NFL teams have gone 'Over' in 141 of 250 games off 5+ 'Unders' when the line was 42 or less points.  Take the 'Over.'

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Troy State Trojans (rotation #589) minus the points over South Alabama.  Troy is off a loss to Sun Belt Conference foe Texas State, 57-56, but I love it to bounce back this afternoon.  Troy is 9-1 ATS off a conference defeat, and 31-22 ATS away from home off back to back losses.  And it also falls into one of my favorite College Basketball systems, which is a super 325-189 ATS since 1990.  Take Troy.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Wildcats (rotation #540) minus the points over Oregon.  We played on the Ducks in their last game -- a 76-72 upset win of Arizona State, as an 8-point underdog.  But off that upset win, we'll fade the Ducks, who fall into a negative 33-71 ATS system of mine which goes against certain teams off upset wins.  Also, the Wildcats are a solid 35-21 ATS at home vs. foes off upset wins, including 13-4 ATS if such foe was an underdog of +7 or more points in its previous game.  Take Arizona.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Akron Zips (rotation #548) minus the points over Bowling Green.  The Zips have dropped their three previous games, and are 0-3 in Mid-American Conference play, but I love them to break into the MAC Conference win column this afternoon.  Indeed, MAC Conference home favorites have cashed 62% since 1991 if their Conference record was 0-3 or worse.  Take Akron.

At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over Winnipeg.  We played against the Blackhawks on Wednesday, and got the $$$ when the Wild pulled the upset here at United Center.  But Chicago had won its two previous games by a combined score of 12-3, and I look for it to bounce back tonight, at home.  Chicago and Winnipeg already met once this season in Winnipeg, and the 'Hawks walloped Winnipeg, 5-1.  The Jets are a dismal 0-7 this season when playing with revenge from a home loss, and are also 15-30 off back to back wins.  Take Chicago to snap Winnipeg's 3-game win streak tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Butler Bulldogs minus the points over Marquette.  The Bulldogs have lost their last three games -- both SU and ATS -- while, Marquette has gone 3-1 SU and 3-0-1 ATS in its last four games.  But we'll lay the points with Butler this evening, as the Bulldogs fall into a 231-146-7 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites (or PK) off 3 straight defeats.  Additionally, the Bulldogs are a terrific 10-0 ATS at home off 3 straight ATS losses, if they also lost their previous game straight-up.  Lay it.  NCAA Roadkill.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks + the points over Arizona State.  After opening the season with 12 straight wins, the Sun Devils have come back down to Earth a bit, and have lost two of their last three games (though they did win at Utah last Sunday).  I look for the Sun Devils to continue their decline tonight, as they fall into a negative 224-331 ATS system of mine.  Moreover, the Ducks are an exceptional 40-19 ATS in Pac-12 Conference games, including 11-0 ATS their last 11 vs. opponents off a SU road win.  Take Oregon.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the NC Wilmington Seahawks + the points over Elon.  Wilmington has dropped its last two games, and is off to a 1-3 start in Colonial Athletic Ass'n play to start the conference season, while Elon is 3-1 following a blowout of Hofstra last Sunday.  However, the Seahawks have been dominant as a road underdog (or PK) vs. Conference foes off a win.  Since 1991, they've gone 50-29-1 ATS, including 19-5 ATS if they lost their two previous games.  Take Wilmington.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes + the points over William & Mary.  The Tribe comes into this game off four straight wins (and five straight covers).  But their play this season has placed them in a negative 238-379 ATS system of mine.  Even worse:  William & Mary is an awful 93-129 (41%) ATS vs. conference foes that failed to cover the spread in their previous game.  With James Madison off a 13-point loss at Northeastern (as a 9.5-point underdog), we'll grab the points with the Dukes.
