Sports Picks & Predictions

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Louisville Cardinals + the points over NC State.  The Cardinals are 1-11 ATS this season.  We've played on the Cardinals just once this year, and that was the ONLY time they covered the spread (when they upset Western Kentucky as a 7.5-point home dog).  We'll take Louisville tonight at North Carolina State, as the Cards fit a super 172-88 ATS system of mine.  Moreover, the Wolfpack are not exactly point spread beaters, themselves, as they're 22-42-3 ATS their last 67, including 3-15 ATS at home vs. ACC conference foes (including 0-7 ATS if their foe was off an ATS loss).  Take Louisville + the points.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Santa Clara Broncos + the points over Boise St.  Santa Clara lost by 12 to Boise last year, and has been installed as a home dog this afternoon.  We'll grab the points, as Boise is a poor 36% ATS since 1990 as a favorite against a revenge-minded, non-conference foe.  Take Santa Clara.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks minus the points over Minnesota.  These two teams met two nights ago, and the T-Wolves won, 116-106.  We'll take Dallas in the rematch, as it's 114-71-2 ATS off a double-digit road loss.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the St Mary's Gaels minus the points over Wyoming.  The Gaels were upset here, at home, by Colorado St, on Sunday.  We'll take the Gaels to bounce back, as they're 19-6 ATS in non-conference games off an upset loss to a non-conference foe.  Take St. Mary's.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks minus the points over Minnesota.  These two teams met two nights ago, and the T-Wolves won, 116-106.  We'll take Dallas in the rematch, as it's 114-71-2 ATS off a double-digit road loss.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Billikens minus the points over SIU Edwardsville.  The Cougars come into this game off a 15-point win over Illinois Tech, but they're 4-8 ATS their last 12 off a double-digit win.   We played on St Louis over the weekend, and got the $$$ when it defeated Drake by 8 points.  We'll come right back with St Louis tonight vs Edwardsville, as the Billikens are 43-22-3 ATS as a home favorite, including 22-9-1 ATS vs. foes off a win by 5+ points.  And the Billikens also fall into a 260-175 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home teams favored in non-conference games.  Take St. Louis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Tulane Green Wave minus the points over Mississippi Valley St.  The Delta Devils are an ugly 11-27 ATS when getting more than 23 points.  Lay the points with Tulane.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Indiana.  The Celts have hit the skids with four losses in five games, and an 0-4-1 ATS losing streak along with it.  We'll lay the points tonight, as Boston is 13-0-1 ATS as a favorite of -2 (or more) points off back to back upset losses.  Take the Celtics.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Milwaukee Bucks.  The Cavaliers come into this game on a red-hot 4-game win streak.  And they're 21-11 on the season, two games behind the Bucks in the race for the Central division lead.  We'll lay the points with the Cavs, as they're 13-0 ATS at home off back-to-back wins, against winning teams, when not laying 8 or more points.  Take Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears minus the points over Texas Arlington.  The Mavericks come into tonight's game off a big upset win over San Francisco, as a 14.5-point underdog.  We'll fade the Mavericks, as California is 8-0 ATS its last eight (and 20-4 ATS its last 24) at home vs. foes off an upset win.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Golden Grizzlies + the points over Michigan State.  Oakland lost, 77-57, at Boise St on Sunday, and will look to snap its 7-game losing streak tonight, while Michigan State will seek its 3rd straight victory.  These two cross-state rivals have met 16 of the last 17 seasons, and the Grizz have only lost by 20+ points four times, including last season when they fell, 90-78.  I expect a relatively-close game tonight, as the Spartans are an awful 5-21 ATS at home vs. non-conference foes off a loss, when MSU is priced from -8.5 to -23.5 points.  And the Grizzlies are 15-4 ATS as underdogs off a loss by more than 15 points.  Take Oakland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Fresno State Bulldogs minus the points over Cal State Bakersfield.  The Roadrunners are a dreadful 5-20-1 ATS their last 26 games when not getting 8+ points.  Take the Bulldogs as a road favorite.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the Phoenix Suns.  The Wizards are on a 10-game losing streak, but were extremely competitive in their last two games (both single-digit losses) at the Clippers and Lakers.  Meanwhile, the Suns are on a 3-game SU/ATS win streak.  We'll take Washington + the points at Phoenix, as NBA teams on 10-game (or worse) losing streaks have gone 12-1-1 ATS on the road vs. winning foes off 3 SU/ATS wins.  Take the Wizards.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Idaho St Bengals + the points over Grand Canyon.  The Bengals enter this game off back to back SU/ATS wins against St Thomas and Washington.  But they're a solid 65% as a double digit road underdog off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Grab the points with Idaho St.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers minus the points over Queens U, NC.  The Cornhuskers lost, 71-56, vs. Kansas State in their previous game.  And the Huskers are back at home tonight vs. a Queens U, NC team on a 6-game ATS win streak.  We'll fade the Royals, as the Cornhuskers are 16-4 ATS as a home (or neutral) court favorite of more than 8 points off 2+ losses.  Take Nebraska.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Hoosiers minus the points over Elon.  We played against the Hoosiers on Saturday, as we laid the points with Kansas, and were rewarded with a 22 point blowout.  That was Indiana's 2nd straight ATS loss (both away from home).  But the Hoosiers are back in Bloomington tonight, and they are 10-1 ATS their last 11 at home off an ATS loss.  Lay the points with Indiana.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Providence Friars over Marquette.  Both of these teams come into this Big East game with identical 9-3 records (and 1-0 conference records).  Providence is a solid 36-16 ATS in conference games against .750 (or better) foes, when not getting 7 or more points.  Take the Friars.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Georgetown Hoyas + the points over Connecticut.  The Hoyas lost, 102-89, at home to Xavier on Saturday, while UConn blew out Butler, 68-46.  We'll take Georgetown as a big road dog tonight, as double-digit road dogs have cashed 61% since 1990 in Big East conference games, if they were off a SU loss, and their opponent was off an ATS win.  Grab the points with the Hoyas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks minus the points over Minnesota.  The Mavs and T-Wolves will play two games here, in Minnesota, over the next three days.  We'll take Dallas in Round 1, as it comes into this game off a 1-point loss at Cleveland.  And Dallas is 14-0 ATS on the road off a road defeat, if the Mavs were rested, and not getting more than 3 points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over Orlando.  The Magic blew out Atlanta, 135-124, last week.  We'll take the Hawks, as they're 97-56-1 ATS at home when rested, and playing with revenge from a double-digit loss. Lay the points.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors + the points over Philadelphia.  The Raptors were blown out, 126-110, by Golden State on Sunday.  And that was Toronto's 5th straight loss.  We'll take the points with the Raptors, as they're 110-70 ATS in regular season games off back to back losses (including 29-12 ATS when playing without rest).  Take the Raptors + the points.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Wizards had a lead entering the 4th quarter of yesterday's game against the Clippers, but collapsed, and lost by nine points.  That was the Wizards' 9th straight defeat, overall.  We'll take Washington tonight, as it falls into a super 405-277 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams on losing streaks.  Additionally, the Wizards play with revenge from a loss to the Lakers two weeks ago, in DC.  And the Lakers are an awful 40-78 ATS at home when playing a revenge-minded opponent it defeated on the road earlier in the season.  Take Washington + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls over the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The Bulls come into this game off 3 straight losses, while Minnesota enters off an upset win at Oklahoma City.  Chicago has been installed as a road favorite over the banged-up Timberwolves.  We'll take Chicago, as NBA road favorites (or PK) have cashed 55% since 1990 if they were rested, and off back-to-back losses.  Take the Bulls.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Houston Christian Huskies + the points over UT-Rio Grande Valley.  These two teams met eight days ago, in Houston, and the Vaqueros won, 95-82, as a 3-point road favorite.  We'll take the Huskies in this rematch on South Padre Island, as they've cashed 61.1% away from home when playing with revenge, while the Vaqueros are 40% ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe.  And the Huskies also fall into a 65.1% ATS revenge system of mine.  Take Houston Christian + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears + the points over Santa Clara.  The Bears are winless, at 0-11.  That's the bad news.  The good news, though, with respect to this evening's game, is that winless teams, with an 0-11 (or worse) record, have cashed 65% since 1990 off back to back ATS losses.  Take California + the points.

At 3:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Orlando.  This is the 2nd of back-to-back meetings between these clubs.  Orlando took round 1 with a 117-109 victory, as a 13.5-point underdog.  We'll take Boston in the rematch, as the Celtics have covered 67% since 1990 as a home favorite in the regular season, if they were upset by their opponent in the Celtics' previous game.  Lay the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix + the points over Oregon St.  The Beavers have been installed as a huge favorite today vs. UWGB.  Unfortunately for Oregon St, it's a woeful 1-11-1 ATS as a favorite of 2+ points (and 6-21-1 ATS its last 28).  That bodes well for Green Bay tonight.  As does the fact that the Phoenix are 12-3-1 ATS in non-conference games off back to back ATS losses.  Take Wisconsin-Green Bay + the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma St Cowboys minus the points over Wichita St.  The Shockers blew out Mississippi Valley State, 71-48, in their last game.  Unfortunately, they're a dreadful 1-13 ATS off a win by 4+ points.  Take Oklahoma St minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City + the points over Memphis.  The Grizz have won their last seven (and nine of their last 10) games SU/ATS.  But we'll fade Memphis today, as OKC will be seeking revenge from a 21-point loss just 10 days ago.  The Thunder are a solid 74-51-1 ATS when playing with revenge in the regular season vs. a foe off a SU/ATS win.  Take OKC + the points.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Utah.  The Jazz are a wallet-breaking 12-24 ATS on the road when they weren't favored by 3 or more points.  And Milwaukee's a terrific 37-19 ATS in the regular season when favored (or PK) off a loss by more than 5 points.  With the Bucks in off a 142-101 blowout loss to Memphis, we'll lay the points with Giannis Antetokounmpo & Co. tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Billikens minus the points over Drake.  St Louis does enter tonight's game off back to back losses to Iona and Boise St.  However, the Billikens are 42-22 ATS as a home favorite (or PK), including 9-1-1 ATS off back to back losses.  Take St. Louis.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Butler Bulldogs + the points over Connecticut.  The Huskies are 11-0, and enter off a 53-point win over Long Island.  But UConn is 25-51 ATS on the road off back to back wins, if they won their previous game by more than 8 points.  Take Butler.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars + the points over Utah.  We'll take the homestanding Cougars in this Beehive State rivalry.  BYU has covered five of the last six meetings, including two double-digit blowouts the past two years.  The Cougars were a 1-point favorite in those two games, and the spread is also competitively-priced this evening.  Unfortunately, for the Utes, they're 1-10 ATS their last 11 in games with point spreads of 3 or less.  And BYU's 83-63 ATS here, at home vs. non-conference foes when not getting 3+ points..  Take the Cougars.

At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over Los Angeles.  The Clippers went into Washington last Saturday, and upended the Wizards, 114-107.  We'll take the Wizards + the points in this rematch, as they're 82-54 ATS when playing with revenge from a home defeat.  Take Washington.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Cornell.  After losing three straight, the Orange have rebounded to win their last four (3-1 ATS).  And they'll welcome the Big Red to The Dome this afternoon, as they seek their 42nd straight win in this upstate New York rivalry.  Cornell played another ACC team on the road in its last game, and it did cover the spread in a 2-point loss to the Miami Hurricanes.  But the Big Red are still just 17-31 ATS as a regular season road underdog of more than 4 points, if they weren't off a SU/ATS loss.  Take the Orange minus the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls minus the points over Northwestern St.  The Owls are a solid 17-6-2 ATS their last 25 home games, including a perfect 7-0 ATS when priced from -5 to -12 points.  Take Rice.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Florida International Panthers + the points over Florida Atlantic.  The Panthers are a super 22-13 ATS in this rivalry, including 12-3 ATS their last 15 when getting 3.5 (or more) points.  And the Owls are 4-13 ATS as a home favorite of -9 (or more) points.  The Panthers also fall into 101-52 and 133-68 ATS systems of mine.  Take Florida International + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs + the points over Alabama.  This game will be played in Birmingham, Alabama.  The Zags lost last season to the Crimson Tide, so they'll be playing this game with revenge.  I think they'll get it, as the Tide is 7-21 ATS as a favorite (or PK).  And it's also 3-11-1 ATS when favored against a revenge-minded foe.  Even better:  the Bulldogs are 11-0 ATS their last 11 (and 21-3-2 ATS their last 26) when playing away from home with revenge.  Take Gonzaga.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over Indiana.  The Hoosiers are a woeful 54-89-1 ATS as a single-digit road underdog since 1994.  Take Kansas minus the points.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns over the Los Angeles Clippers.  Last night, the Clippers won their 3rd straight game, 99-88, vs. Minnesota.  Meanwhile, the Suns lost for the 5th straight time on Tuesday, as Houston blew them out, 111-97.  We'll take Phoenix to bounce back on Thursday, as it is 56-20 ATS its last 76 off an upset road loss.  That bodes well for the Suns tonight.  As does the fact that it's 113-67 ATS vs. an unrested opponent which won its previous game, provided the Suns weren't laying 8+ points.  Take Phoenix.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans over the Utah Jazz.  These two teams met two nights ago, and the Jazz routed New Orleans, 121-101, as a 2.5-point underdog.  That snapped the Pelicans' 7-game win streak, and dropped them into a tie with Memphis for the #1 spot in the Western Conference.  We'll take the Pelicans to bounce back in this rematch, as they're 10-3 ATS off an upset loss.  Even better:  New Orleans has cashed 64% since 2009 when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season by more than 20 points, while Utah has covered four of its last 14 at home vs. a foe it defeated by more than 20 points earlier in the season.  Finally, the revenger in this Pelicans/Jazz series is 39-19-4 ATS.  Take New Orleans.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Louisville Cardinals + the points over Western Kentucky.  The Hilltoppers enter tonight's game on a 5-game win streak (while Louisville is on an 0-9 SU/ATS start to the season).  We'll look for these streaks to be halted tonight, and will grab the points with the home underdog Cardinals.  The Hilltoppers are 0-8 ATS away from home off back to back wins.  And Louisville also falls into 82-30, 41-7, 62-23 and 109-55 ATS systems of mine.  Take the Cardinals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Lipscomb Bisons minus the points over Tennessee Tech.  Lipscomb is back home tonight after dropping back-to-back road games at Alabama A&M and Tennessee St.  And Lipscomb was favored in each of those games.  The Bisons are now 1-4 SU/2-3 ATS on the road, but a perfect 5-0 SU and 2-0 ATS at home.  We'll lay the points with Lipscomb, as the Golden Eagles are 0-11 ATS vs. non-conference foes off an upset loss.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Ole Miss Rebels minus the points over Central Florida.  The Rebels have covered 60% as a single-digit home favorite vs. non-conference foes since 1990.  Lay the points.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors over the Indiana Pacers.  These two teams met earlier this season in San Francisco.  The Pacers upset Golden State, 112-104, as an 11-point road underdog.  We'll take the Warriors in this rematch, as Golden State is 53-31 ATS when playing with revenge, if the Warriors were off a SU/ATS loss.  With Golden State in off a blowout loss at Milwaukee last night, we'll take the defending Champs to bounce back tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Duquesne Dukes minus the points over DePaul.  The Dukes come into this game off 3 ATS losses.  We'll lay the points with the Dukes, as DePaul is an ugly 35.7% ATS over the past 33 years vs. non-conference foes that lost ATS in each of their three previous games.  Take Duquesne.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the East Tennessee St Buccaneers minus the points over Queens Univ., NC.  The Royals upset High Point, 87-79, as a 2.5-point road underdog on Friday.  And that was Queens U.'s fifth straight ATS win.  We'll go against the Royals tonight, as NCAA underdogs on a 5-game (or better) ATS win streak have covered just 35% of non-conference games since 1990, if they were off an upset win on the road against another non-conference foe.  Lay the points with East Tennessee St.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the South Dakota Coyotes minus the points over Coastal Carolina.  The Chanticleers walloped Regent U., 102-39, on Saturday.  We'll fade Coastal Carolina tonight, as it is a horrid 3-18-1 ATS after scoring more than 80 points in winning its previous game.  Take South Dakota.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Lamar Cardinals + the points over Southern Mississippi.  Both of these teams changed their conference affiliation this season.  Southern Miss moved to the Sun Belt Conference from Conference USA, while Lamar switched from the WAC to the Southland Conference.  These two teams are playing the 2nd of back-to-back games.  The Golden Eagles won, 95-59, in Hattiesburg on Saturday, as a 19.5-point home favorite.  We'll take Lamar + the points in the rematch, as Lamar is 12-5-1 ATS off a loss by 15+ points.  Additionally, it falls into a revenge system of mine which has cashed 56.1% since 1990, as well as a 2nd revenge angle which has cashed 65.9% since 1990.  Take the Cardinals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Creighton Bluejays minus the points over Arizona State.  This game will be played on a neutral court, in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Bluejays were highly-ranked entering the season, but have dropped their last four games, and are in jeopardy of being unranked in this week's Poll when it's released later today.  In Saturday's loss to BYU, Ryan Kalkbrenner didn't play due to a non-covid illness.  His availability is listed as 'day-to-day' so he may (or may not) suit up tonight.  Regardless, we'll lay the points with the Bluejays, as they're 38-15 ATS in the regular season off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, including 23-6 ATS when favored by 3 or more points.  Even better:  Creighton plays this game with revenge from a 1-point loss to the Sun Devils, in Omaha, last season.  And the Bluejays are 16-5 ATS in the regular season when playing with revenge away from home, if they weren't getting 2+ points.  Take Creighton.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over Atlanta.  The Grizz come into tonight's game on a 5-game SU/ATS win streak, and have also won/covered seven of their last eight.  I won't step in front of this freight train, and especially not with an Atlanta team missing Dejounte Murray.  After failing to cover the spread last night, the Hawks are a wallet-breaking 4-9 ATS their last 13.  The Hawks defeated the Grizzlies, 120-105, when these teams last met.  But Memphis is a super 55-26 ATS in the regular season when rested, and playing with revenge, if the Grizz owned a W/L percentage of .600 or better (at Game 9 forward).  Take Memphis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat minus the points over Indiana.  The Heat come into this game off a dismal performance against San Antonio, the league's worst team.  And that was Miami's 3rd loss in its last four games (and 4th straight ATS loss).  We'll take the Heat to bounce back, as it's 16-0 ATS away from home off 3+ ATS defeats, if the game was competitively-priced with a point spread of 6 points or less, and the Heat were not playing without rest.  Take Miami.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the SMU Mustangs + the points over TCU.  The Mustangs enter tonight's Metroplex rivalry game off 3 SU/ATS losses.  But we'll grab the points with SMU, as the Horned Frogs are a wallet-busting 53-91-3 ATS vs. foes off back to back ATS losses.  And they're 10-31-1 ATS their last 42 vs. foes off ATS losses in their three previous games.  Take SMU.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles minus the points over Central Arkansas.  The Bears pulled off an upset win over Arkansas State, 72-67, on Tuesday.  But I look for a letdown tonight.  Central Arkansas has been a dreadful traveler of late, as it's 3-24 SU and 7-19-1 ATS on the road as an underdog.  Even worse:  Oral Roberts is 9-0 ATS its last nine vs. foes off an upset win.  Lay the points with the Golden Eagles.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks minus the points over Nevada.  Nevada's 8-2 on the season after an upset win at Pepperdine on Tuesday.  The Ducks, meanwhile, come into this home game off 3 straight ATS wins, and are 5-3-1 ATS on the season.  We'll lay the points with Oregon, as it's 10-0-1 ATS at home its last 11 if it was on a 3-game (or better) ATS win streak, and its opponent was off a SU win.  Take the Ducks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:15 pm, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers + the points over Kansas.  Both of these former conference rivals are off to great starts.  The Jayhawks are 8-1, while Mizzou is unbeaten, at 9-0.  Missouri's a home underdog today, even though its scoring margin (at +19.22) is 7 ppg better than Kansas' margin, and its point spread differential is 1.77 ppg better than Kansas' differential.  We'll take the points with the Tigers, as undefeated teams, with a 7-0 (or better) record, have covered 83% since 1990 as home underdogs, if their scoring margin was better than their opponent's, and at least 18 ppg.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:15 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina Tar Heels minus the points over Georgia Tech.  The Heels have covered just once this season -- as a 12-point home favorite vs. James Madison -- and have dropped their last four games, SU/ATS.  We'll lay the points with Hubert Davis' men, as North Carolina is 21-4 SU and 18-6-1 ATS as a favorite of -3 (or more) points off four (or more) ATS losses, including a perfect 7-0 SU/ATS at home vs. ACC Conference rivals.  Lay the points with North Carolina.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland St Vikings + the points over Kent State.  On Wednesday, Cleveland State's 6-game win streak (and 4-game ATS win streak) were halted in a 19-point blowout loss at St Bonaventure.  We'll take the Vikings to bounce back, as they're 22-8 ATS off a point spread loss.  Take the Vikings + the points.

At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Albany Great Danes + the points over Providence.  The Friars are an ugly 8-28 ATS when laying 17+ points, including 0-9 ATS their last nine vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take Albany + the points.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte 49ers minus the points over Detroit.  The 49ers are 7-2, but one of their two losses was against these Titans, on Nov. 23.  Charlotte was buried by 21 points, as it shot a season-low 34%, and allowed a season-high 52%.  With payback on its mind, we'll lay the points with the 49ers this afternoon.  Charlotte is 44-32 ATS at home when playing with revenge, if it was off a SU win.  And Detroit is 0-7 ATS its last 7 (and 2-16 ATS its last 18) as an underdog vs. a revenge-minded foe off a win.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12:30 pm, our selection is on the Long Island Sharks + the points over Connecticut.  Big East teams are a horrid 19-44-2 ATS off an ATS win when favored by more than 24 points, including 0-10-1 ATS their last 11 when playing a revenge-minded foe.  Last year, UConn ran roughshod over the Sharks, in a 93-40 win.  Take Long Island + the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs minus the points over Washington.  The Huskies come into this non-conference game off a 73-63 triumph over Pac-12 rival, Colorado.  Gonzaga also won its previous game -- a 7-point win over Kent State -- but it failed to cover the spread for the fifth straight game.  We'll fade the Huskies, as Gonzaga is 22-5-1 ATS at home vs. foes off a win by more than 8 points.  And Washington is an awful 15-42-2 ATS vs. .500 (or better) foes off 3 (or more) ATS losses.  Take Gonzaga.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over the New Orleans Pelicans.  The Suns were upset, 125-98, as a 2.5-point home favorite by Boston.  The Suns are now a road favorite against New Orleans, which has overtaken Phoenix for the #1 spot in the Western Conference.  We'll take the Suns to bounce back, as they're 6-0 ATS their last six; 10-1 ATS their last 11; and 30-13 ATS their last 43 off an upset loss.  And when priced as a road favorite of less than four points, the Suns are 15-0 ATS their last 15 off an upset loss (and 21-2 ATS their last 23).  Take the Suns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over Minnesota.  The Wolves come into this game off back to back losses to Virginia and Kentucky.  We'll take Juwan Howard's men to bounce back here, as Michigan is 80-44 ATS off a SU loss, including 22-8 ATS away from home vs. an opponent also off a loss.  Lay the points with Michigan.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over Houston.  The Spurs have had the last 3 days off to lick their wounds from their current 11-game losing streak.  We'll take the Spurs as a home underdog, as well-rested NBA teams, playing with at least 3 days' of rest, have covered 63% since 1990 if they were on a 9-game (or worse) losing streak.  Even better:  the Rockets are an awful 24-53-2 ATS off an ATS win if they were playing a rested foe.  Take San Antonio.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Merrimack Warriors + the points over San Francisco.  The Dons are an ugly 107-150-8 ATS in non-conference games.  And they're also 34-60-2 ATS at home vs. a foe off a loss.  Take Merrimack + the points.   Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears minus the points over Eastern Washington.  We played against California a week ago in its Pac-12 opener, and got the $$$ with USC.  That loss lowered Cal's record to 0-8.  And it's now 0-9 following another conference defeat at Arizona.  Tonight, the Bears will be playing out-of-conference vs. Eastern Washington.  We'll lay the points, as the Eagles are a dreadful 23-41 ATS as an underdog of less than 9 points in non-conference games.  Take California.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Pioneers + the points over Sacramento St.  These two teams met in Denver last month, and the Hornets came away with a 73-69 upset win.  Denver hasn't lost since, and will go for its 7th straight win tonight.  The Hornets are 12-24-4 ATS as a single-digit favorite vs. a revenge-minded foe.  Take Denver + the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars minus the points over Utah Valley St.  The Cougars are an awesome 39-16 ATS at home vs. non-conference foes, when priced as a favorite of -4.5 to -12.5 points.  Take BYU.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis minus the points over Indiana St.  The Salukis have won 26 of the last 31 home games vs. Indiana State, including an 15-5 ATS ledger when not laying 11+ points.  Take Southern Illinois minus the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Delaware State Hornets + the points over Delaware.  The Blue Hens upset Davidson, 69-67, on Saturday.  But off that upset win, we'll fade the Hens at home tonight.  Delaware is a wallet-busting 42-59 ATS at home off a win, including 0-6 ATS its last six.  And it's 11-25 ATS when laying 8 or more points against a foe off a SU loss.  Take the Hornets.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over the Dallas Mavericks.  The Mavs come into this road game off back to back blowout wins over New York (121-100) and Phoenix (130-111).  Meanwhile, Denver was pounded, 121-106, by the New Orleans Pelicans.  We'll take Nikola Jokic & Co. to bounce back, as NBA home favorites have covered 68% since 1991 if they were off a loss by 15+ points, and their opponent was off back to back 19-point (or greater) wins.  Take Denver.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma St Cowboys minus the points over Sam Houston St.  The Cowboys lost at UConn, 74-64, on Thursday, while the Bearkats blew out Dallas Christian, 111-58.  We'll lay the points with Okie State, as it's 17-5 ATS as a favorite off a double-digit loss, if its foe was off a double-digit win.  Take the Cowboys.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers minus the points over Wisconsin-Green Bay.  Loyola will be looking to bounce back off its home upset loss to DePaul on Saturday.  The good news is that Loyola has cashed 67% since 1990 at home off a home upset loss, when they were playing an opponent off a win.  We played on the Phoenix yesterday, and were rewarded when they notched their first win of the season (and also covered) against IUPUI.  But off that win, we'll fade Green Bay on the road vs. Loyola-Chi.  The Phoenix are a wallet-breaking 1-6 ATS their last 7 as a double-digit dog.  And they're 12-29-2 ATS as a dog of 3+ points, if they were off a win, and playing a foe off a loss.  Take Loyola-Chicago to bounce back from its upset loss vs. DePaul.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Dartmouth Big Green + the points over Vermont.  The Big Green will be looking to snap a 13-game losing streak to Vermont, in this Twin State battle.  And if their last two games (also, here at home) are any indication, they should get the upset win.  Dartmouth comes into this game off a 25-point blowout of Cal State Bakersfield.  And that followed a 58 point rout of NVU-Johnson.  Dartmouth has covered the spread by an average of 5.25 ppg at home this season, while Vermont has failed to cover the spread by 7.3 ppg on the road.  Take Dartmouth.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs minus the points over Kent State.  After a whirlwind tour around the country, which saw Gonzaga play 7 games away from home -- many against the nation's Elite schools -- the Bulldogs return home to face the Golden Flashes in The Kennel.   Gonzaga last played here, at home, in its season opening win (and cover) over North Florida.  The Bulldogs' home win streak currently is at 69 games.  And they're an awesome 13-0-1 ATS at home their last 14 (and 22-4-1 ATS their last 27) vs. foes off a 9-point (or greater) win.  With Kent State in off an 83-68 victory over South Dakota St., we'll fade the Golden Flashes, and lay the points with the Bulldogs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on Albany + the points over Massachusetts.  The Great Danes are 3-6 SU and 2-5 ATS, while UMass is 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS, after winning 5 straight games away from Amherst.  Tonight, the Minutemen are back home at the Mullins Center.  But that's not necessarily a good thing, as UMass is an ugly 11-40 ATS at home when priced from -10.5 to -19.5 points!  Take the Great Danes + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, on Monday, in an early Horizon League game, our selection is on the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix minus the points over IUPUI.  Green Bay is 0-7 this season, and rated as the country's 358th worst team (out of 363).  That's the bad news.  The good news is that IUPUI is rated as the country's WORST team, at #363.  Green Bay will play the Jaguars twice this season, and those two games represent Green Bay's best (and possibly, only) chances to get a win this season.  And, of course, this home game will confer a better chance than Green Bay's road game at IUPUI on February 4.  The Jaguars are an awful 20-40 ATS away from home vs. an opponent not off a win (including 0-16 SU and 3-12-1 ATS their last 16).  Take Green Bay minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the St Mary's Gaels + the points over Houston.  This game will be played in Fort Worth, Texas, at a neutral site.  The Cougars have ascended to the #1 spot in the College Basketball rankings.  But this will be a tough test for Kelvin Sampson's men, as the Gaels check in off back to back SU/ATS losses.  And St. Mary's is 38-29 ATS in non-conference games off a SU/ATS loss.  And Houston's a soft 41% ATS away from home the past 33 seasons, off back to back wins, if its opponent was off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take the Gaels + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the S. Dakota St. Jackrabbits + the points over Alabama.  Nate Oats' Crimson Tide won a thrilling, 4-overtime game vs. North Carolina last Sunday, 103-101.  We'll fade Alabama tonight, as it's a wallet-breaking 3-18-1 ATS after scoring more than 75 points, while the Jackrabbits are 27-11 ATS on the road vs. a foe off a win.  Take South Dakota St. + the points.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Vanderbilt Commodores minus the points over Wofford.  Vanderbilt lost at VCU, 70-65, on Wednesday, as a 2.5-point underdog.  We'll take Vandy to bounce back this evening, as it's 20-10-2 ATS its last 32 as a favorite.  Take the Commodores minus the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Golden Grizzlies + the points over Fort Wayne.  The Mastodons were upset by Detroit, 75-66, on Thursday.  We'll go against Fort Wayne this afternoon, as it's a dismal 15-27 ATS in conference games off a loss, when priced as a favorite of -11 or less points.  Take Oakland.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Jackson State Tigers + the points over SMU.  The Tigers are 6-1 ATS their last seven (and 10-3 ATS their last 13) as double-digit road dogs.  Take Jackson St. + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Grambling Tigers + the points over Incarnate Word.  The Cardinals edged the Tigers, 63-61, last Sunday, in the 210 San Antonio Shootout.  This afternoon, I look for Grambling to avenge that defeat, as the Cardinals are 1-5 ATS their last 6 vs. revenge-minded foes.  And Grambling also falls into 173-95 and 213-112 ATS revenge systems of mine.  Lay the points with the Tigers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Evansville Purple Aces + the points over Northern Iowa.  Double-digit favorites are a dreadful 78-119 ATS in Missouri Valley Conference regular season games if they are off a SU loss.  With the Panthers in off a 15-point loss at Bradley, we'll grab the points with Evansville.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Fairleigh-Dickinson Knights + the points over St Josephs.  The Hawks are a poor 21-38 ATS as a home favorite of -5 to -12.5 points.  Take the Knights + the points.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the St. Francis-PA Red Flash + the points over Ohio St.  The Buckeyes come into this game off an 81-72 loss at Duke.  And now they're favored by double-digits against a St Francis PA team off back-to-back SU/ATS losses to American and Bucknell.  Unfortunately for Ohio St, it's 13-27 ATS at home when favored between -23 and -32 points.  Take St. Francis PA + the points.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors + the points over Brooklyn.  The Raptors come into this game off a 126-108 blowout loss, at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans.  We'll take Toronto to bounce back off that loss, as it's 20-7 ATS vs. winning teams, if Toronto lost its previous game by more than 11 points.  Additionally, the Raptors play this game with revenge from a 112-98 loss last week here, in Brooklyn.  But Toronto is a solid 18-10 ATS when playing with revenge, while Brooklyn is 3-15 ATS at home vs. revenge-minded foes, if Brooklyn owned a winning record.  Grab the points with the Raptors.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Clemson Tigers minus the points over Wake Forest.  The Demon Deacons pulled off a big upset in its last game, as they knocked off Wisconsin, 78-75, as a 6-point road underdog.  We'll fade Wake Forest tonight, as it's 11-19-1 ATS as a road underdog off an upset win, while Clemson is 20-8 ATS at home off back to back wins.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Iona Gaels minus the points over Niagara.  Rick Pitino's men were upset by Santa Clara, 86-76, on Saturday.  We'll take Iona tonight, as it's cashed 69% over the last 33 years as a double-digit favorite off an upset loss.  Additionally, Niagara is 8-15 ATS away from home vs. conference foes off upset losses.  Take Iona.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes minus the points over Eastern Kentucky.  The Dukes come into this game off a loss to Valparaiso, while Eastern Kentucky blew out Brescia, 122-84, in its last game.  Unfortunately, the Colonels have not been a good team away from home, and especially not when they're playing an opponent off a SU loss, as they're 0-14 ATS since 2019.  Take James Madison minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Illinois St. Redbirds + the points over Murray St.  The Redbirds come into this game on a 4-game SU/ATS losing streak, while Murray St. checks in off an upset loss at Chattanooga.  We'll grab the points with Illinois State, as Missouri Valley Conference double-digit underdogs are 118-78 ATS in the regular season vs. a foe off a SU loss.  And Illinois State also falls into 477-409, 799-596 and 242-192 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams off SU/ATS losses.  Grab the points with Illinois State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the USC Trojans minus the points over California.  The Bears are 0-7 on the season, and start Pac-12 Conference play tonight against USC.  The Trojans have won the last 8 meetings between these rivals, and I expect more of the same tonight -- especially with USC looking to bounce back off its losses to Wisconsin and Tennessee last week.  Take Southern Cal minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  The Clips won last night over Portland, 118-112.  We'll fade LA in Utah tonight, as the Jazz are 54-31 ATS at home when rested, and not favored by double-digits against an unrested foe off back to back wins.  Take the Jazz minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers minus the points over Central Arkansas.  Loyola's on a 4-game losing streak after falling at Harvard, 61-55, last Friday.  Meanwhile, the Bears come into this game off an 81-77 win over Idaho St.  Unfortunately, Central Arkansas is a wallet-breaking 0-12-1 ATS after scoring 73+ points, if they were playing an opponent off a loss.  Take Loyola to blow out the Bears.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the OKC Thunder.  The Spurs come into this game off an upset loss to the LA Lakers, and have now lost 8 straight games.  We'll grab the points with San Antone, as it's 78-42 ATS off an upset loss, if it was playing a .446 (or worse) opponent also off a SU loss.  Take San Antonio + the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Alabama Lions + the points over Memphis.  The Tigers come into this game off back to back wins.  But they're horrible (5-17-1 ATS) in non-conference games as a big favorite of more than 22 points if they're not off a SU loss.  Take North Alabama + the points.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over the Orlando Magic.  The Hawks come into tonight's game off 3 SU/ATS losses.  We'll lay the points tonight, as Orlando is a dismal 8-29 ATS at home vs. foes off 3+ losses.  Take the Hawks.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Dayton Flyers minus the points over Western Michigan.  The Flyers are giving up less than 60 ppg, while Western Michigan is surrendering more than 74.  The Broncos are 15-32-1 ATS on the road when they were playing an opponent whose defensive ppg average was at least 7 points better.  Look for Dayton to hand Western Michigan its 6th straight ATS loss.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Elon Phoenix + the points over High Point.  The Panthers come into this game off wins over Central Michigan and Tennessee State.  And they've been installed as a big favorite vs. Elon.  But the Phoenix are 22-4 ATS as double-digit road dogs vs. foes off back to back wins.  We'll fade the Panthers tonight.  Take Elon + the points.
