Sports Picks & Predictions

At 10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego State Aztecs minus the points over Cal Irvine.  The Aztecs lost a heartbreaker in overtime to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Maui Invitation, and dropped their second straight on the season (after a 4-0 start).  We'll take Brian Dutcher's men to bounce back at home tonight, as SDSU is 28-17-1 ATS as a favorite off back to back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes minus the points over Georgia Tech.  Iowa sprinted out to a 5-0 start this season.  But the Hawkeyes were upset, 79-66, by TCU on Saturday, and suffered their first loss of the season.  We'll take the Hawkeyes to rebound tonight, as Georgia Tech is a dismal 18-32-1 ATS away from home vs. a foe off an upset loss.  Lay the points with Iowa.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks + the points over the Golden State Warriors.  The Mavericks and Warriors both enter tonight's game with 10 losses on the season, though it's the Mavericks who are playing worse of late.  Dallas has dropped its last four games, while the Warriors have won 3 straight.  We'll look for the Mavs to snap their losing streak tonight, and take the points.  Dallas is 27-12 ATS as a home underdog off a SU/ATS loss when playing an opponent off a straight-up win.  Take the Mavericks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Kentucky Wildcats minus the points over Bellarmine.  This season, the Wildcats are 4-0 ATS as a favorite of more than 19 points, and 0-2 ATS when not favored by that many.  Kentucky last played on Nov. 23, so it's had the last 5 days off.  When Kentucky has played in the regular season with at least 5 days off, it's gone 95-20 SU and 60-39-1 ATS.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the South Carolina State Bulldogs + the points over East Carolina.  The Bulldogs are in the midst of a season-opening schedule which will see them play 11 straight on the road (before their home opener on December 13).  The Bulldogs have been an underdog in every game thus far (and by an average of 25.14 ppg), so it's not a surprise that it's winless on the season.  It's catching double-digits tonight from an East Carolina team off a 21-point loss at Old Dominion.  The Pirates are 0-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season, and 2-8 its last 10 as a double-digit fave.  And it's an awful 0-11 ATS off a loss, if it was favored by 7+ points against a foe off an ATS loss.  Take South Carolina State + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Pacific Tigers minus the points over Cal Poly SLO.  Pacific comes into this game off 3 SU/ATS losses.  We'll take Pacific tonight, as it's cashed 69% the past 33 seasons at home off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Lay the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Toreros minus the points over Longwood.  San Diego comes into this game off back to back losses, including an upset loss at the hands of Nicholls St on Saturday.  We'll lay the points with the Toreros, as they've cashed 77% since 1990 at home off back to back losses, if they were upset in their previous game.  Take San Diego.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Texas Southern Tigers + the points over Kansas.  The Tigers come into this game off four straight losses -- all by 15+ points -- while Kansas checks in off a 14-point loss to Tennessee.  We'll go against Kansas, which is 12-24 ATS its last 36 non-conference games.  Take the points with Texas Southern

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Texas San Antonio Roadrunners minus the points over Incarnate Word.  These two Alamo City rivals will actually be meeting for the very first time tonight, in the 210 San Antonio Shootout.  UTSA has lost its first two games of this holiday tourney, to Grambling and Dartmouth, while Incarnate Word triumphed over those same two teams.  We'll take the Roadrunners to win this final game, as they're 21-4 ATS at home vs. foes off back to back wins, when the Roadrunners weren't getting 10+ points.  Take UTSA.  Good luck, as always... Al McMordie

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks over the Philadelphia 76ers.  The 76ers come into this game off back to back SU/ATS wins over Orlando, while Atlanta lost its two previous games to Houston and Miami.  We'll take the Hawks tonight, as they're 35-18 ATS when they've owned a winning record, and were off back to back SU/ATS losses, and matched up against a foe off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Take the Hawks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Oregon State Beavers minus the points over Portland State.  Oregon State plays this game with revenge from an 18-point blowout loss to the Vikings.  We'll lay the points with Oregon State, as it's 20-4 SU and 16-4-1 ATS when playing with revenge at home, or on a neutral court, vs. a non-conference foe.  Take the Beavers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Huskies minus the points over Iowa State.  The Cyclones upset the #1-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday.  But they'll have another tall task against a ranked opponent tonight, as they're matched up against 7-0 Connecticut.  We'll lay the points with the Huskies, as they've cashed 63.4% vs. non-conference foes off an upset win.  Take UConn.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic minus the points over Philadelphia.  The Magic are 5-14 on the season, and have been installed as a home favorite vs. the 10-9 Sixers.  We'll lay the points with Orlando, as < .312 NBA teams have cashed 85%, at Game 9 forward, as favorites/Pk vs. >.517 opponents off an upset win.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Hofstra Pride minus the points over Quinnipiac.  The Pride upset NC Greensboro, 65-53, in this Tournament yesterday.  And that moved its non-conference record to 38-19-1 ATS their last 58.  We'll lay the points with Hofstra today, as it's 62-30-7 ATS away from home off a double-digit win.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Buffaloes minus the points over Yale.  The Buffaloes are 53-31 ATS at home their last 84 when not favored by 17+ points.  Take Colorado.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cal Davis Aggies minus the points over SE Missouri.  The Aggies were upset at the buzzer by a Wisconsin-Milwaukee 3-pointer, so they'll look to bounce back this afternoon.  Cal Davis has cashed 62% away from home off an upset loss.  Take the Aggies

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Valparaiso Beacons minus the points over James Madison.  The Dukes come into this game off back to back wins, including a blowout of South Dakota State yesterday, while the Beacons are off back to back SU/ATS losses.  But we'll look for Valpo to get back into the ATS win column on Sunday, as it falls into 796-595 and 61-19 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams off losses.  Additionally, the Dukes have covered just 22% of their non-conference games, if the Dukes were off a SU/ATS win, and their opponent was off a SU/ATS loss.  Take Valparaiso + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the LA Lakers.  These two teams last weekend in LA, and also met here last night, and LeBron James & Co. routed San Antone in both games, 123-92, and 105-94.  We'll take the home dog in the rematch, as San Antonio is 32-21 ATS at home when playing with double-revenge in the regular season.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Montana State Bobcats minus the points over the Quinnipiac Bobcats.  Montana State was upset by NC Greensboro, 77-66, yesterday.  We'll take Montana State to rebound today, as it's cashed 69.2% in non-conference games off an upset loss.  Take Montana State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks minus the points over the Toronto Raptors.  Dallas comes into this game off a loss at Boston, 125-112, on Wednesday.  We'll take the Mavs to bounce back tonight, as they're 14-1 ATS their last 15 as a road favorite off a road defeat.  Lay the points with Dallas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Colorado State Rams minus the points over Mississippi Valley State.  The Delta Devils have been installed as a big underdog this afternoon.  Unfortunately, they've had scant success in that role, as they're 9-25 ATS when getting more than 23 points.  Take the Rams.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte 49ers minus the points over Presbyterian.  The 49ers were upset, 70-49, by Detroit Mercy on Wednesday.  They'll look to bounce back tonight, as they welcome the Blue Hose to Charlotte.  The 49ers are a super 63.1% ATS since 1990 if they were off a SU/ATS loss, and favored by double-digits in their current game.  Take Charlotte. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 2 pm, our selection is on the George Mason Patriots minus the points over Queens, NC.  The Patriots come into this game off 3 straight ATS losses.  But they're a fantastic 39-20-2 ATS off 3 ATS defeats, including 14-2 ATS when priced from -3.5 to -11.5 points.  Take George Mason.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the NC Asheville Bulldogs minus the points over Western Carolina.  The Bulldogs were upset, 74-68, by Georgia State in their previous game.  But Asheville has cashed 62% off an upset loss.  Lay the points.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Cal State Fullerton Titans minus the points over Utah Tech.  Fullerton is 4-1 SU, and a perfect 3-0-1 ATS this season.  And, dating back to Nov. 16, 2021, it's 25-10 SU and 20-11-1 ATS, including 9-2-1 ATS in non-conference games.  Utah Tech, meanwhile, is 3-9 ATS its last 12 off a point spread loss.  Take Fullerton minus the points.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers minus the points over Houston Christian.  The Tigers have been installed as a huge favorite vs. the Huskies.  And that bodes well for Missouri, given that it's covered 58% since 1990 as a favorite of more than 24 points.  Take the Tigers.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Utah.  After starting the season with a bang, the bloom is starting to come off the rose for the Jazz.  They've now dropped 5 of 7, after starting 10-3.  We'll fade the Jazz tonight, as they're 18-38 ATS off a point spread defeat, and 4-13 ATS off back to back losses.  Lay the wood with the Warriors.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Pacific Tigers minus the points over Idaho.  The Vandals come into tonight's game on an 0-4 SU/ATS run.  Meanwhile, Pacific started its season with 3 ATS wins.  But has dropped its last 2 games -- both at home -- to Fullerton and Mount St Mary's.  We'll lay the points with the Tigers against Idaho, as Pacific is 11-4 ATS at home vs. non-conference foes, if the Tigers were off back to back losses.  And Pacific also falls into a 75% ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams to bounce back off losses.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Grambling Tigers + the points over Texas San Antonio.  The Tigers were blown out by 31 points at Arizona St, on Tuesday.  But that defeat has triggered a super 113-49 ATS bounce-back angle of mine.  Take Grambling + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets minus the points over Indiana.  After a 2-5 start to the season, the Nets dismissed coach Steve Nash.  Jacque Vaughn is now running the team, and his troops are 7-5 since he took over.  Importantly, they're also 8-3 ATS.  We'll lay the points with Brooklyn, and go against a Pacers team coming off its worst shooting performance of the season, and worst defensive performance of the season.  We had a big play against Indiana in that game, and were rewarded when the Pacers converted just 38% of their shots in their 115-101 loss to the Timberwolves, and allowed Minny to shot 61%.  I look for Indy's troubles to continue tonight.  Lay the points with Brooklyn.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks + the points over Virginia.  The Hawks will look for a 2nd straight cover after blowing out Marist three days ago.  The Cavaliers come into this game off a 70-61 win over Illinois, and a win over Baylor before that.  But Virginia is 0-7 ATS at home after 2 non-conference games.  And the Hawks are 12-3 ATS off an ATS win.  Take Maryland-Eastern Shore + the points.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina Tar Heels minus the points over Iowa St.  North Carolina is 155-105 ATS at home, or on neutral courts in the regular season as a favorite vs. non-conference foes.  Lay the points with the Tar Heels.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Coppin State Eagles + the points over Maryland.  The Eagles have dropped back to back games after a 3-game win streak.  But I love them to bounce back today, as they're 9-2 ATS on the road off back to back losses.  Take the Eagles + the points.

At 12:30 pm, our selection is on the Jackson State Tigers + the points over Indiana.  The Tigers are 6-0 ATS their last six (and 10-2 ATS their last 12) as double-digit road dogs.  They're also 5-0-2 ATS their last seven games when playing with revenge.  Last year, the Hoosiers blew out JSU by 35, as a 24.5-point home favorite.  Take the Tigers + the points this afternoon.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the Florida Gators + the points over Xavier.  This game is being played at the Phil Knight Invitational, in Portland, Oregon.  These two teams met last season in the NIT Tourney, and the Musketeers got the 'W' with a 72-56 triumph.  We'll take Florida to avenge that loss, as the Gators are 57-43 ATS away from home in the regular season when playing with revenge.  Meanwhile, the Musketeers are 11-18 ATS away from home when playing a revenge-minded non-conference foe.  Take Florida.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 am, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over Wisconsin.  The defending champion Jayhawks moved their record to 5-0 yesterday when they defeated then-unbeaten NC State, 80-74 in the opening round of this Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, in Nassau, Bahamas.  Now, the Jayhawks will look to run their mark to 6-0, and will face a 4-0 Wisky team coming off a 1-point win, 43-42, over Dayton.  We'll fade the Badgers, as they're a horrid 5-16 ATS away from home when getting more than 3 points against an undefeated opponent.  Meanwhile, the Jayhawks are 18-11 ATS away from home vs. undefeated foes when priced as a favorite of 11 or less points.  Take Kansas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the UCLA Bruins minus the points over Pepperdine.  UCLA stumbled in its last two games vs. Baylor and Illinois.  But I look for the Bruins to rebound tonight, as they're 40-31 ATS off back to back SU/ATS losses, including 9-5 ATS as a double-digit favorite.  And UCLA has dominated the Waves, as it's 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS the last six meetings.  Take the Bruins.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over the LA Clippers.  The Warriors were blown out by 45 points by New Orleans on Monday.  We'll take Steph Curry & Co. to bounce back, as Golden State is 42-22 ATS as a home favorite of -6 (or more) points off a road loss by more than 10 points.  Take the Warriors to blow out the Clippers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:00 pm, our selection is on the Cal Santa Barbara Gauchos minus the points over North Alabama.  The Lions got a 3-point play at the buzzer to defeat Hampton, 75-74, yesterday.  We'll fade the Lions today, as they'll be playing the Gauchos on UCSB's home court.  North Alabama is 10-17 ATS its last 27 road games, including 1-6 ATS when priced from +11 to +26.  And it also falls into negative 5-31 and 20-65 ATS systems of mine based on its win yesterday.  Lay the points with UCSB.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls + the points over Milwaukee.  After starting the season with a 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS record, the Bucks have gone 3-4 SU and 2-5 ATS.  The Bulls are 13-0 ATS here, in Milwaukee, when priced from +12 to -7, if the Bucks were off a SU win.  Take Chicago.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota T-Wolves over the Indiana Pacers.  The Pacers' 5-game win streak should come to an end tonight when Indy welcomes Minnesota to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.  The T-Wolves are working on a 4-game win streak, themselves.  Indy has covered just 26 of 66 home games vs. non-division foes, if both Indy and its opponent were off back to back wins.  And Minnesota also falls into several of my best NBA systems, with records of 72-34, 73-28 and 102-64.  Take the Timberwolves.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Providence Friars minus the points over Merrimack.  Providence enters tonight off back to back losses to Miami and St Louis.  We'll take the Friars to blow out Merrimack, as they're 33-22 ATS at home when favored off back to back losses.  Take Providence.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Abilene Christian Wildcats minus the points over Cal Riverside.  The Wildcats were upset by Weber State, 77-67, last night.  Meanwhile, Riverside upset Wright State.  We'll lay the points with Abilene Christian this evening, as it's 31-17 ATS as a favorite, including 7-1 ATS vs. foes off upset wins.  Take the Wildcats.

At 11 am, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over Northern Kentucky.  The Rockets dropped their 2nd straight game yesterday, 86-75, to East Carolina.  We'll lay the points with the Rockets this morning, as they fall into a 156-89 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off upset losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Cal Davis Aggies minus the points over Sacramento St.  The Hornets stunned the Aggies here, at Golden 1 Center, last season, as they won 75-63, as an 8-point favorite, in the Causeway Classic.  Sacramento State leads in this rivalry series, 69-50, but we'll take the Aggies in the revenge role tonight.  Indeed, Cal Davis has cashed 68% since 1990 when playing with revenge from an upset loss.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento Kings over Memphis.  The Kings have now won six straight games, and nine of their last 11.  And they're 11-4 ATS, and own the league's #1 ATS record on the season.  I won't step in front of this freight train.  Memphis is currently playing without its 2 best players -- Ja Morant & Desmond Bane.  And those two players were the two high scorers for Memphis when these two teams met back on October 27 (a 125-110 Grizzlies win).  Take Sacramento to avenge that loss, and win its seventh straight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the North Alabama Lions over Hampton.  This game will be played in Santa Barbara, on a neutral court.  The Lions come into this game off an upset loss at Mississippi Valley St, which was their first defeat of the season (after starting with 3 wins).  The Pirates are 1-3.  We'll fade Hampton, which is a woeful 5-13 ATS in non-conference games. Even worse for the Pirates:  Colonial Athletic Ass'n teams are 2-24 ATS vs. winning, non-conference foes off an upset loss, if our Colonial team wasn't getting 4+ points.  Take North Alabama.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Dons over the Wichita St Shockers.  This game will be played at T-Mobile Center, in Kansas City, as part of the Hall of Fame Classic.  Yesterday, the Dons bested Northern Iowa, 75-69, to move their record to 5-0 on the season.  Meanwhile, Wichita St downed Grand Canyon, 55-43, and is 3-1.  We'll take San Francisco this afternoon, as it has covered 67.3% since 1990 away from home vs. foes off back to back ATS wins, if San Francisco wasn't favored by more than 2 points.  And Wichita has cashed just 31% the past 20 years against undefeated foes if Wichita wasn't getting 4+ points.  Take the Dons.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 am, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over East Carolina.  This game will be played in the late morning, in the Gulf Coast Showcase, at Hertz Arena, in Estero, Florida.  Toledo was blown out yesterday, 83-71, by UMKC.  And Toledo was favored by 18 in that game!  But the good news for the Rockets is that it's covered 67% as a favorite off an upset loss, if it was favored by 10+ points in that previous game.  Meanwhile, East Carolina has covered just 26% over the last 33 years against foes that failed to cover the spread by 18+ points in their previous game.  Lay the points with Toledo.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Washington State Cougars minus the points over Eastern Washington.  Wazzu opened the season with a blowout of Texas State, but has dropped its next two games SU/ATS to Boise St and Prairie View.  I love the Cougars to bounce back tonight, as they're playing with revenge from a shocking loss to the Eagles last season.  Washington State was favored by 19 points in that game, but fell, 76-71.  The Cougars have covered 64% since 1990 when playing with revenge from a loss as a favorite of > 8 points.  Take Washington State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Utah Utes minus the points over Georgia Tech.  This game is being played in Daytona Beach, as part of the Sunshine Slam.  The Utes look to bounce back from their loss to Sam Houston, on Thursday.  Since 1990, Utah's covered 69% away from home as a favorite vs. non-conference foes, if Utah was off an upset loss.  Meanwhile, Georgia Tech's 17-32-1 ATS away from home vs. foes off an upset loss.  Lay the points with the Utes.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Huskies minus the points over Delaware State.  The Huskies have been a model of consistency this season, as they're 4-0, and have scored 85, 86, 84 and 86 points in each of their four games.  They've also won three of the four by 29+ points, and are 3-1 ATS.  We'll lay the points, as UConn has cashed 82% of its home non-conference games since 1990, if it was off 4 straight double-digit wins.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Seton Hall Pirates minus the points over Wagner.  The Pirates lost at home, 83-67, to Iowa on Wednesday.  But off that loss, we'll lay the points with the Pirates, as they're 38-22 ATS off a home loss.  Take Seton Hall.

At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Appalachian St Mountaineers minus the points over SE Louisiana.  The Mountaineers come into this game off back to back upset defeats at the hands of Campbell and Kennesaw.  Meanwhile, the Lions come into this afternoon's game off an upset win over Campbell.  We'll take Appalachian State, as it's cashed 63% here, at home, since 1990 vs. foes off upset wins.  Take the Mountaineers minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Radford Highlanders minus the points over Army.  This game will be played in Williamsburg, VA, on a neutral court.  Radford comes into this game off back to back blowout wins by 51 and 45 points, respectively.  And we'll look for Radford to win its 3rd straight this afternoon.  Indeed, NCAA teams off back to back wins have cashed 69% since 1990 if they were playing on a neutral court, and won their two previous games by 95 points, in the aggregate.  Take Radford.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  The Spurs were blown out, 130-112, by Sacramento, on Wednesday.  But the Spurs have been terrific over the years off Gregg Popovich-coached blowout losses by 18+ points, including 59-37-2 ATS when they were playing with rest.  Take San Antone + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers minus the points over Utah.  We played on the Jazz last night in their upset win over the Phoenix Suns.  But now, Utah is unrested, and must play a rested Blazers team off a SU loss to the Nets.  We'll lay the points with Portland, as it's 49-35 ATS when favored in division games if it was rested, and its opponent was unrested.  Take Portland.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over Toronto.  The Hawks play this game with revenge from a 139-109 loss to the Raptors earlier this season.  We'll lay the points with Atlanta, as it's a super 85-44-2 ATS when rested, and playing with revenge at home vs. an opponent which defeated it by 10+ points earlier in the season.  Take the Hawks.

At 2 pm, our selection is on St Peter's minus the points over St. Francis.  These two teams met last season in Jersey City, and the Terriers upset the Peacocks, 71-60, as a 13-point underdog.  We'll take the Peacocks to avenge that defeat, as they fall into an 84-30 ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Elon Phoenix + the points over NC State. The Phoenix are on a 3-game losing streak, while NC State's on a 3-game win streak.  But we'll take the points with the dog in this match-up between cross-state rivals.  Elon is a terrific 31-9 ATS as a road dog of more than 5 points vs. a foe off back to back wins.  Additionally, the Wolfpack are 6-16 ATS their last 22 as a home favorite.  Take Elon + the points.

At 12 Noon, in a game being played in Dublin, Ireland, our selection is on the Niagara Purple Eagles over Stetson.  The Hatters come into this game off 3 straight upset wins.  But that has triggered a negative 37-69 ATS system of mine which goes against certain teams off upset victories.  Take Niagara to hand the Hatters their first loss of the season.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz over Phoenix.  The Jazz dropped their 3rd straight game on Wednesday to New York, 118-111.  We'll take Utah tonight to bounce back, as it's 106-71-4 ATS at home off a SU/ATS home loss.  Take the Jazz.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over the Milwaukee Bucks.  The Sixers were upset in their home opener, 90-88, by Milwaukee.  We'll take the revenge-minded 76ers at home tonight, as they're 38-20 ATS at home when playing with revenge from an upset loss, including 21-5 ATS when priced as a favorite of 7 or less points.  Take Philly.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions + the points over Cleveland State.  The Vikings have not been profitable when favored by 9 (or more) points in non-conference games, as they're 3-10 ATS, including 0-7 ATS off a SU win.  With the Vikings, indeed, off a win over Canisius in their most recent game, we'll fade Cleveland St. at a big favorite today.  Take the points with Pine Bluff.

At 3:15 pm, in the Paradise Jam tournament taking place in the Virgin Islands, our selection is on the Wyoming Cowboys minus the points over Howard.  Wyoming was upset by SE Louisiana in its last game.  We'll take Wyoming to bounce back this afternoon, as Howard is a horrid 9-25 ATS vs. .500 (or better) foes.  Lay the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis minus the points over Tennessee St.  We played on the Tigers three days ago, at home, vs. Alabama A&M, and got the $$$ in an 11-point win.  But that game was at home; tonight's game at Banterra Center will be TSU's first game this season on the road.  And the Tigers are just 10-25-1 ATS their last 36 road games.  Take Southern Illinois.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the South Carolina St. Bulldogs + the points over Kentucky.  The Wildcats come into this game off an upset loss at the hands of Michigan St.  We'll go against John Calipari's men, as they're 10-14 ATS their last 24 off an upset loss, and 2-7 ATS their last nine when favored by 31+ points.  Take the Bulldogs + the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Pitt Panthers + the points over VCU.  This game will be played at Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, NY, as part of the Legends Classic.  The Panthers opened this tournament with a 91-60 blowout loss to Michigan, while VCU collapsed late against Arizona St, to fall, 63-59 (a game VCU led by 11 with less than 9 minutes left).  We'll grab the points with the Panthers, as ACC Conference teams, off blowout losses by 25+ points, have cashed 67% ATS since 1990 as underdogs in non-conference games.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls + the points over New Orleans.  These two teams met in Chicago just seven days ago, and the Bulls were defeated by four points, 115-111.  We'll take the Bulls in this rematch, as the Pelicans are a dreadful 59-96-2 ATS as a favorite vs. a revenge-minded foe.  Take Chicago.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over Texas Southern.  The Cougars are off to a 3-0 SU/ATS start this season, and have stifled their opponents by holding them to 25.8% shooting (40 for 155).  We'll lay the points as Houston is 27-6 ATS its last 33 when favored by 12+ points, including 8-0 ATS its last eight.  Take the Cougars.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat over the Toronto Raptors.  Miami comes into this game off an ATS loss in its most recent game (a 1-point win over Phoenix).  The Heat are a solid 116-72-2 ATS on the road off an ATS loss, including 64-33 ATS vs. a foe off a SU win.  Take Miami.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Presbyterian Blue Hose + the points over UAB.  Presbyterian comes into this road game off back to back road losses.  I look for the Blue Hose to have a much better outcome tonight, as UAB has covered just 6 of 26 games vs. foes off back to back road losses.  Take Presbyterian + the points.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Seton Hall Pirates over Iowa.  Seton Hall is a terrific 19-3-1 ATS at home vs. non-conference foes when not laying 13+ points.  Take the Pirates.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over Orlando.  We played against the Magic two nights ago, and got the $$$ with Charlotte, as the Hornets snapped their 7-game losing streak.  We'll go against Orlando again tonight, as it is a horrid 80-115 ATS at home off a home loss.  Take the T-Wolves.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over Oakland.  Toledo was upset last season by Oakland, 80-59.  We'll take the revenge-minded Rockets tonight, as Oakland has covered just 2 of its last 16 lined games.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Florida Gulf Coast.  The Vols were upset by Colorado, 78-66, on Sunday.  But we'll take Tennessee to bounce back, as it's 44-19 ATS off a double-digit loss.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the USC Trojans minus the points over Vermont.  The Catamounts have not stepped up when playing on an opponent's home court, and especially not when installed as a road underdog.  Vermont is a poor 2-17 SU and 4-14-1 ATS its last 19 as a road underdog.  Lay the points with USC.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:00 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets over the Sacramento Kings.  The Kings upset the defending champion Warriors, 122-115, on Sunday.  But off that upset win, we'll fade Sacramento tonight, as it's 56-92-5 ATS at home off an upset win.  Take Brooklyn.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Alabama St. Hornets + the points over San Jose St.  The Spartans blew out Bethesda, 90-68, on Sunday.  But off that high-scoring game, we'll fade San Jose, as it's 10-33 ATS after scoring 80+ points, including 0-9 ATS when not getting more than 2 points.  Take Alabama St.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks + the points over the Utah Jazz.  Prior to the season, not much was expected from the Utah Jazz, after they jettisoned their two best players (Rudy Gobert; Donovan Mitchell).  Surprisingly, though, the Jazz have been terrific this season, as they're 10-5 SU/ATS.  But their success has been as an underdog, where they're 9-2 ATS.  As a favorite, Utah is 1-3 ATS.  We'll grab the points with the New York Knicks tonight, and go against a (now) overrated Utah team, which is starting to come back down to Earth, and has lost its last two games, straight-up.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix + the points over Wisconsin.  The Badgers blew out the Phoenix last season, 72-34.  We'll take Green Bay as it's 61-24 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss by 13+ points.  Take Green Bay + the points tonight.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over Binghamton.  Binghamton comes into this game off an upset win over Marist.  But the Bearcats are 9-17 ATS off an upset win.  Take Maryland minus the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Colgate.  The Raiders upset the Orange, 100-85, last season, as an 11.5-point road underdog.  But prior to that upset defeat, the Orange had won the 54 previous meetings vs. Colgate, and hadn't lost to Colgate since now-head coach Jim Boeheim was a redshirt freshman for the Orange.  Syracuse may not win the next 54 games, but it will win this revenge match tonight.  Lay the points with Syracuse.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee State Tigers minus the points over Alabama A&M.  These two teams met in Huntsville last season, and the Bulldogs upset the Tigers, 82-73.  We'll take the revenge-minded home team tonght, as it falls into an 81-29 ATS revenge system of mine.  Additionally, the Bulldogs are 22-38 ATS on the road off a SU loss.  Take the Tigers minus the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Florida State Seminoles minus the points over Troy.  The Seminoles were upset, 68-54, by Central Florida on Friday, and are now 0-2 on the season.  I love Florida State to bounce back tonight, as it's cashed 73% as a favorite in non-conference games since 1990 when it was off an upset loss, and also lost two games back.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Oklahoma City.  The Thunder have won two straight games -- both as underdogs -- but are in a prime letdown spot tonight.  Even worse, they're playing without rest against a rested opponent.  Boston is 13-2 ATS at home when rested against an unrested foe off a win.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets over the Orlando Magic.  The Hornets were blown out by Orlando by 20 points back on October 28.  But I love the Hornets in this revenge match, as they fall into a 206-104 ATS revenge system of mine which plays on certain teams that lost by 19+ points vs. division rivals.  Additionally, the Magic are an awful 17-41-2 ATS at home vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take Charlotte.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the South Florida Bulls minus the points over Stetson.  The Hatters stunned Florida State, 83-74, to open their season.  Off that upset win, we'll look for a letdown tonight vs. the Bulls, as South Florida's cashed 60% since 1990 at home vs. non-conference foes off an upset win.  Lay the points.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Cleveland Cavaliers.  After starting the season 8-1, the Cavs are now on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak.  We'll go against them here, as they're a wallet-busting 13-36-2 ATS off back to back ATS losses, including 0-9-1 ATS vs. .420 (or worse) teams, as well as 0-9-1 ATS when favored by 7 or less points.  Take Minnesota + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Alabama State Hornets + the points over Pepperdine.  The Hornets come into this game off back to back blowout losses, as they lost by 41 to UAB, and by 38 to Southern Cal.  But off those losses, they now fall into a 710-496 ATS system of mine.  Additionally, the Hornets are 16-6 ATS off a loss, while Pepperdine is a soft 43-65 ATS at home in non-conference games.  Grab the points with Alabama State.   Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Pilots minus the points over the Portland State Vikings.  Portland will conclude a 3-game home stand tonight, and seek its 3rd straight win following victories over Lewis & Clark and Florida A&M.  The Pilots are 8-3 SU/ATS vs. their cross-state rival, while Portland State is 0-5 ATS its last 5 non-conference games.  Take Portland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over the Memphis Grizzlies.  These two teams met in last year's playoffs, and the #2 seeded-Grizzlies bounced the T-Wolves in six games.  After that strong showing in last year's playoffs, the T-Wolves were expected to be a contender this season. But the T-Wolves are off to a somewhat disappointing 5-7 start. The season is a long one, though, so there's still time to right the ship.  We'll take the Timberwolves + the points tonight, as it falls into one of my favorite Playoff revenge angles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Wildcats over Southern U.  Arizona annihilated Nicholls St on Monday, 117-75, and easily covered the 25-point spread.  Today, we'll lay the points, as the Wildcats are 30-2 SU and 23-7-1 ATS in their next game after winning a blowout by 39+ points.  Take Arizona minus the points.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs over the Milwaukee Bucks.  San Antonio is 31-7 ATS off a straight-up loss, when matched up against an Eastern conference foe off a straight-up win, and not favored by more than 6 points.  Take San Antonio.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.. 

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners minus the points over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.  Both of these teams lost by 1 point in Game 1.  The Sooners fell, 52-51, to the Bearkats of Sam Houston State, while the Golden Lions lost, 73-72, to TCU.  Pine Bluff then bounced back on Wednesday to defeat Champion Baptist, 87-55, and will attempt to make it two-in-a-row tonight, in Norman.  We'll lay the points, as Oklahoma is 18-7 ATS after failing to cover the spread in its previous game by more than 9 points.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over St Joseph's.  This game will be played at Alumni Hall, in Annapolis, Maryland, and will be part of a double-header televised by the CBS Sports Network.  The Cougars blew out Northern Colorado, 83-36, on Monday.  And that continued a trend where the Cougars are 31-10 ATS as a favorite of -8.5 (or more) points, including 9-0 ATS its last nine.  Houston's also 26-9 ATS when playing on a neutral court.  Lay the points with Houston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Southern Cal Trojans minus the points over Alabama State.  Andy Enfield's Trojans lost their season opener to Enfield's former school -- Florida Gulf Coast University -- on Monday.  And USC was favored by 18 points!  We'll take the Trojans to bounce back off that debacle, as they've cashed 74.1% of their regular season, non-conference games off an upset loss.  Take the Trojans.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights minus the points over Sacred Heart.  The Scarlet Knights blew out Columbia, 75-35 on Monday.  And we'll look for another blowout on this Thursday.  Key stat:  since 1990, Big 10 teams have cashed 60% after holding an opponent to 40 or less points.  The last three times these teams have met, the Knights have won by 23, 25 and 26 points.  And that dovetails with Sacred Heart's previous nine meetings vs. Big 10 schools, as it's lost by an average of 26 ppg.  I look for another blowout tonight.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
