Sports Picks & Predictions

At 2 pm, our selection is on the IUPUI Jaguars + the points over Oakland.  The Jaguars are currently riding a 4-game losing streak following their 10-point home loss to Green Bay.  We'll take IUPUI + the points, as they're 16-6-1 ATS as a double-digit conference underdog, while Oakland is a horrid 6-14 ATS as a double-digit conference favorite.  Take IUPUI.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Illinois-Chicago Flames + the points over Bradley.  The Flames have lost their last 5 games to the spread, while Bradley is 4-0-1 ATS its last five, and has won its last 5 straight-up.  We'll take Illinois-Chicago to snap its ATS losing streak, as .316 (or better) Missouri Valley Conference teams have cashed 60.1% when they were on 3-game (or worse) ATS losing streaks, and their opponent  was off a SU/ATS win.  Take Illinois-Chicago.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Vanderbilt Commodores + the points over Mississippi.  The Commodores have been installed as a big underdog this afternoon vs. the Rebels.  We'll grab the points, as Vandy is an awesome 34-12-1 ATS away from home when not favored by 8+ points (and 16-3-1 ATS if it was getting 8+ points).  Even better:  Ole Miss is a miserable 4-14 ATS at home vs. conference foes, including 1-8 ATS vs. a foe off a SU loss.  Take Vanderbilt.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars + the points over Morehead State.  The Eagles have covered nine straight games.  We'll fade Morehead at Edwardsville, as NCAA teams have covered just 43.1% away from home, when they were on a 7-game (or better) ATS win streak, and their opponent wasn't off an ATS win.  Take SIU-Edwardsville.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Buffalo Bulls + the points over Akron.  Buffalo was blown out, 86-65, on Tuesday by Miami-Ohio.  But off that loss, we'll take the Bulls to bounce back, as they're 15-1-1 ATS off a loss by 20+ points.  That bodes well for Buffalo tonight.  As does the fact that the Zips are 6-10 ATS vs. foes off a loss by 20+ points.  Finally, Mid-American Conference underdogs of more than 14 points, not off an ATS win, have cashed 33 of 49 conference games.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Duquesne Dukes minus the points over Dayton.  The Flyers have won 9 straight games, while the Dukes are on a 2-game SU/ATS losing streak.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the red-hot Flyers as an underdog.  But Dayton is a dreadful 6-23-1 ATS off a win, if it was not favored by 3+ points, and its opponent was off an ATS loss.  Take Duquesne to snap Dayton's win streak tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Hoosiers minus the points over the Minnesota Golden Gophers.  Minnesota has won 7 straight games.  But all but one of those games was on the road.  And that spells trouble for Minnesota in Bloomington this evening, as Indiana is 34-7 SU and 26-15 ATS at home its last 41, including 11-3 ATS vs. foes off back-to-back wins.  And the Gophers are a ghastly 22-70 ATS on the road, when priced from +11 to -1 vs. Big 10 foes.  Take the Hoosiers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders plus the points over Louisiana Tech.  The Blue Raiders have been dominant at home, with a 34-6 SU record, and a point spread mark of 24-8-2 ATS.  We'll grab the points, as home dogs of +5 (or more) points, have gone 99-62-4 ATS if they had a strong home court, and won at least 34 of their previous 40 games.  Take the Blue Raiders.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento St. Hornets + the points over Weber St.  The Wildcats went into Tulsa and defeated Oral Roberts, 83-78, as a 2.5-point road favorite.  Weber St. is once again favored on the road.  But it's covered just 36% as a road favorite off a SU/ATS win as a road favorite in its previous game.  Take the Hornets + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Cal-Davis Aggies minus the points over Cal State Northridge.  The Matadors upset Hawaii, 76-66, as a 1-point home underdog last Saturday.  We'll take Cal Davis tonight, as it's cashed 71% since 2005 if it was off a loss, and its opponent was off an upset win.  Even better:  the Aggies have dominated the Matadors, with a 23-6 record since 2010, and a 20-9 ATS record.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes minus the points over South Alabama.  The Dukes were 14-0 going into their game last Saturday as Southern Miss.  We played on the Golden Eagles +7.5 in that game and were rewarded with an 81-71 upset win.  We'll switch gears and take the Dukes to bounce back off that upset loss.  Last season, the Golden Eagles upset James Madison, 75-66, in the Sun Belt Tourney semifinals.  We'll take the revenge-minded Dukes tonight, as they've cashed 82% since 1990 as a double-digit favorite off an upset loss.  Lay the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the TCU Horned Frogs minus the points over Oklahoma.  The Horned Frogs suffered a narrow, 2-point loss (83-81) at #3-ranked Kansas, on Saturday to fall to 11-3 on the season.  We'll take the Frogs to bounce back tonight, as they're 10-0 ATS off a straight-up loss when they owned a .750 (or better) win percentage.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Wisconsin.  The Badgers have been installed as a road underdog tonight, in Columbus.  We'll fade Wisconsin, as it's a woeful 29-47-2 ATS as a road underdog of +8 points or less (or PK) in conference games, if the Badgers were off a win.  Lay the points with Ohio State.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Drake Bulldogs minus the points over Indiana St.  The Bulldogs were upset by Belmont, 87-65, on Sunday, and are now 3-1 in Missouri Valley Conference play.  The Sycamores are 4-0 inside the conference, and are an underdog tonight in Des Moines.  We'll fade the Sycamores, as Missouri Valley teams, with an .833 (or better) conference record (at Game 5 forward), have gone 31-57-4 ATS when not laying 5+ points vs. conference foes not off a SU/ATS win.  Take the Bulldogs to blow out Indiana St.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Billikens plus the points over St. Joseph's.  The Billikens lost at George Mason, 79-67, on Saturday.  We'll take them to bounce back tonight, at home, as the Billikens are 36-9 ATS off a road loss, including 15-0 ATS if their win percentage was < .533.  Take St. Louis.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Louisville Cardinals + the points over Miami-Fla.  Last season, Miami won both of the regular season meetings, so the Cards will have revenge on their minds tonight.  Louisville is a solid 118-91 ATS when playing with revenge against conference opponents.  And the Cards are also a super 19-6-1 ATS as road underdogs of +11 (or more) points.  Take Louisville.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the IUPUI Jaguars + the points over Wisconsin-Green Bay.  The Jaguars dropped their 3rd straight Horizon League game on Saturday, with a 75-65 loss at Youngstown St.  We'll take IUPUI to snap its 3-game losing streak this afternoon, as it's 12-1 ATS as underdogs of more than 6 points in conference games off 3+ losses.  Take the Jaguars.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Air Force Falcons + the points over Nevada.  The Falcons are a double-digit dog tonight in Reno.  We'll grab the points, as Air Force is a solid 69-34 ATS away from home when catching more than 11 points, while Nevada is a soft 41-54 ATS as a home favorite of more than 11.  Take the Falcons.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide minus the points over South Carolina.  The Gamecocks are 13-1 and 11-3 ATS, yet have been installed as a double-digit underdog tonight in Tuscaloosa.  At Game 15 forward, .920 (or better) teams have covered just 34.8% vs. conference foes off a win.  We'll lay the points with Alabama tonight.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Iowa St Cyclones + the points over Houston.  The Cougars are undefeated, at 14-0, but have only played one true road game among their first 14.  That was in Cincinnati vs. Xavier, and the Cougars failed to cover the 8.5-point spread.  We'll grab the points with Iowa State, as it's a super 59-31 ATS at home in 'win situation' games with point spreads of 3 or less.  Take the Cyclones.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the South Dakota Coyotes + the points over Montana.  The Grizzlies come into this game off a 96-86 win over North Dakota St.  Unfortunately, Montana is a soft 1-11 ATS as a favorite after scoring more than 92 points.  Take South Dakota.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento State Hornets + the points over St. Thomas.  This is the 2nd day of the Big Sky/Summit League Challenge (The Big Sky won 5 of the 9 match-ups on Wednesday).  The Tommies are on a 5-game win streak, and are also on a 5-game ATS win streak.  Notwithstanding their hot play, we'll fade St. Thomas tonight, as Summit League teams off 3 SU/ATS wins have cashed just 40% of non-conference games.  And Big Sky Conference teams have cashed 63% as underdogs vs. Summit League opposition.  Grab the points with Sacramento St.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors minus the points over Cal State Northridge.  The Matadors have won their first two Big West Conference games, but haven't won 3 straight Big West games at any time in their last 56 conference match-ups.  We'll take Hawaii, as Northridge is 3-13 ATS its last 16 as home underdogs vs. conference foes.  Lay the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Idaho State Bengals minus the points over Nebraska-Omaha.  The Bengals are on a 6-game SU losing streak, and have also failed to cover in eight straight games.  Meanwhile, the Mavericks come into tonight's game off back to back SU/ATS wins.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the red-hot Mavericks against the ice-cold Bengals.  But Omaha has covered just 20% the past 12 seasons off back to back SU/ATS wins against foes off back to back SU/ATS losses.  And Idaho State also falls into an 80-31 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams on a losing streak.  Take the Bengals minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Fresno State Bulldogs + the points over Nevada.  The Wolf Pack are 13-1, and have been installed as a big road favorite at Fresno.  We'll fade Nevada, as it's a poor 16-27-4 ATS as a conference road favorite of more than 4 points.  Take the Bulldogs + the points.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Ole Miss.  The Vols are 10-3 SU and 5-7-1 ATS, while the Rebels are 13-0 SU and 7-6 ATS.  Mississippi should lose its first game of the season tonight, in Knoxville, as Ole Miss is a poor 1-17 SU and 5-13 ATS their last 18 as an underdog.  Meanwhile, Tennessee is 42-13 ATS at home, or on a neutral court, against foes with a win percentage greater than .800, if Tennessee's ATS win percentage was less than .600.  Take Tennessee.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Vanderbilt Commodores + the points over Alabama.  Alabama comes into this SEC Conference game off back to back blowout wins over Eastern Kentucky (111-67) and Liberty (101-56).  We'll fade Alabama in this game, as it's an awful 6-30 ATS as a double-digit favorite following a win, in which it scored 85+ points.  Take Vandy.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Southern Miss Golden Eagles + the points over James Madison.  The Dukes are undefeated, at 14-0, and ranked #19 in the country.  JMU covered the spread in its two previous games, and is 10-3 ATS on the season.  Still, we'll take the points with Southern Miss, as it's cashed 62% over the last 34 seasons at home vs. foes off back-to-back SU/ATS wins.  Take the Golden Eagles.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee State Tigers + the points over Morehead St.  The Eagles have won their last three, and have covered their last six.  We will fade Morehead St., as the Tigers are a solid 47-29-3 ATS away from home as underdogs of more than 5 points vs. foes off back to back wins.  And the Eagles are a soft 56-75-2 ATS when favored by 6+ points.  Take Tennessee St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons minus the points over Miami-Fla.  This is the Hurricanes' 2nd game this season played at an opponent's home court.  Their first road game didn't go so well, as Kentucky blew out Miami by 22 points.  We'll take Wake Forest, as the Demon Deacons are 37-5 SU and 27-14-1 ATS at home.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Wright State Raiders + the points over Fort Wayne.  The Mastodons are 13-2 on the season and outscoring their opposition by 17.8 ppg.  But the Raiders are 16-5 ATS vs. conference foes with a scoring margin greater than 7.6 ppg.  Grab the points with Wright St.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Siena Saints + the points over Fairfield.  These two teams are going in opposite directions.  Siena has lost six straight, while the Stags have won six in a row.  But these two streaks have worked to create value on the side of the home underdog, and we'll grab the points with Siena, which falls into a system of mine which has cashed 73.3% since 2011.  Even though the Stags won their previous game, 78-72, they failed to cover the 9.5-point number.  Meanwhile, the Saints did cover the 17.5-point number in their 13-point loss at UMass on Saturday.  All of this bodes well for the home dog tonight, as Saints are 17-9-1 ATS as an underdog off an ATS win, including 6-1 ATS at home.  And the Stags have cashed just 42 of 116 as a favorite off an ATS loss, including 18-40-1 ATS vs. foes off an ATS win.  Grab the points with Siena.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Pacific Tigers + the points over San Francisco.  The Dons are 11-4 this season, and have outscored their foes by an average of 17.93 ppg.  We'll fade San Francisco, and take the home underdog Tigers, as Pacific is a solid 16-5 ATS at home vs. foes with a scoring margin greater than 15 ppg.  Take Pacific.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the UCSB Gauchos + the points over UC San Diego.  The Tritons come into tonight's game off 3 straight ATS wins.  Unfortunately, they're also 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS when on a 3-game (or better) ATS win streak.  And they're 1-5 SU/ATS in the last 6 meetings vs. the Gauchos.  Take UCSB minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over Minnesota.  The Golden Gophers have been installed as a road underdog at Michigan, which comes into this game off back to back losses.  Michigan, though, is a solid 89-54-2 ATS off a loss.  And the Gophers are an ugly 31-82 ATS away from home vs. Big 10 foes, if they were priced from -1 to +11 points, including 10-45 ATS vs. a foe off a loss.  Take Michigan.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Washington Huskies minus the points over Oregon.  The Huskies will look to get into the Pac-12 win column tonight, as they lost their first two Pac-12 games, which were both on the road.  Washington did cover the spread in its 5-point loss at Utah on Sunday, and that moved its record to 27-6 ATS following a Pac-12 Conference loss.  Take Washington minus the points tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Southeast Missouri St. Redhawks + the points over Western Illinois.  The Leathernecks enter tonight's home game on a 5-game win streak.  And they're also on a 3-game ATS win streak.  We will fade Western Illinois, as it's a poor 42% ATS when it was on a 3-game ATS win streak, and it's also covered just 44% at home off 5+ wins.  Meanwhile, SE Missouri is 30-16-3 ATS vs. conference foes, including 9-1 ATS when priced from +5.5 to +15.5 points.  Take SE Missouri + the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Titans + the points over Wisconsin-Green Bay.  The Titans are 0-15 on the season, but I expect them to break through with a win vs. the Phoenix tonight.  Green Bay is on a 3-game win streak, but is a wallet-breaking 0-9 ATS off 3+ wins, and 14-26-2 ATS on the road.  Grab the points with Detroit.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Old Dominion Monarchs + the points over Troy.  The Trojans  come into tonight's game off back to back SU/ATS wins, and have been installed as a home favorite tonight vs. ODU, which enters off back to back SU/ATS losses.  We'll take the Underdog Monarchs, as Troy is a woeful 12-30 ATS as a favorite, if it was off a win, and its opponent was off a loss.  And Old Dominion has cashed 69% over the last 33 years as an underdog off back to back SU/ATS losses vs. opponents off back to back wins.  Grab the points with the Monarchs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the S. Dakota St. Jackrabbits + the points over Weber St.  The Wildcats come into tonight's game off an 86-64 win over Montana St., while the Jackrabbits enter off a 19-point blowout win over N.Dakota.  We'll take the underdog Jackrabbits, as they're 108-71-1 ATS vs. a foe off a SU win, including 61-32 vs. foes off a double-digit win.  Take S. Dakota St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Montana Grizzlies minus the points over N. Dakota St.  This is a revenge game for the Grizz, who lost at home to the Bison, 78-69, in the first month of the season.  Montana is a solid 22-12 ATS on the road when playing with revenge.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Rhode Island Rams + the points over St. Joseph's.  The Hawks have been installed as a road favorite tonight vs. the Rams.  Unfortunately, St. Joe's is a poor 3-8 ATS its last 11 as a road favorite.  We'll grab the points with the Rams.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma St. Cowboys minus the points over Chicago St.  The Cowboys won, 86-70, as a 25-point favorite vs. S. Carolina St. in their previous game, so they failed to cover by 9 points.  We'll lay the wood with Okie St tonight, as Big 12 teams are 76-50 ATS at home when laying more than 9 points vs. non-conference foes, if our Big 12 team failed to cover by 9+ points in their prior game.  Additionally, the Cowboys are 32-16 ATS as a home favorite vs. non-conference foes off a SU loss.  Take the Cowboys.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Chicago St. Cougars + the points over Kansas St.  The Cougars have gone 14-1 ATS when priced from +14 to +23.5 points, and today's point spread falls into that range.  Meanwhile, Kansas State is 0-5 ATS as a favorite of -14 to -23.5 points.  Additionally, the Cougars are 23-12 ATS off back to back losses.  Take the Cougars + the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles + the points over Denver.  The Pioneers enter today's Summit League game off 3 straight wins, including in 95-80 win over Nebraska-Omaha in its conference opener.  We'll fade Denver today, and grab the points with Oral Roberts, as the Golden Eagles are a solid 25-10 ATS vs. foes off a win, if ORU was off a loss.  Take Oral Roberts.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:15 pm, our selection is on the SE Missouri St. Redhawks plus the points over Morehead St.  Southeast Missouri has been installed as a big home dog vs. the Eagles, and we'll take SEMO, as it's 15-5 ATS at home vs. conference foes (including 5-0 ATS when getting more than 5 points).  And it's also 10-0 ATS vs. foes off a win, when priced from +4.5 to +14.5 points.  Take the Redhawks.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal + the points over Arizona.  Stanford was upset, 76-73, in its Pac-12 opener on Friday by Arizona St.  And that was Stanford's second straight defeat, overall.  We'll take the Cardinal to bounce back this afternoon, as they're 41-18-2 ATS at home off back to back losses.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the South Dakota St. Jackrabbits minus the points over North Dakota.  Both teams come into this game off back to back losses.  The Jackrabbits lost neutral court games to Wyoming and Norfolk St., while the Fighting Hawks fell at Nebraska, and at home to St. Thomas.  South Dakota St. has been one of the most reliable home teams in NCAA basketball, as it's 79-43-1 ATS.  We'll fade the Fighting Hawks, as they're a poor 5-19 ATS on the road off back to back losses.  Lay the points.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Titans + the points over Fort Wayne.  The Mastodons are 12-2 after downing Northern Kentucky, 73-60, on Friday, while Detroit has yet to taste victory, as it lost its 14 straight game, 67-55, at IUPUI two nights ago.  We'll grab the points with winless Detroit, as Horizon League road teams off a loss have gone 97-64 ATS vs. conference foes off a win, if our road team was getting more than 10 points.  That bodes well for Detroit today.  As does the fact that Fort Wayne is 0-9 ATS at home vs. conference foes when laying 5+ points.  Take Detroit.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At Midnight, our selection is on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors minus the points over Cal State Fullerton.  The Rainbows come into this Big West Conference game off back to back home losses to Georgia Tech and TCU.  We'll take Hawaii to bounce back, as it's cashed 83% as a home favorite off back to back home defeats.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles + the points over Florida Atlantic.  The Owls are on a 3-game SU/ATS win streak after delivering their biggest regular season victory in school history when they upset #4-ranked Arizona, 96-95, in double-overtime last Saturday.  Off that emotional victory, we'll fade the Owls against Florida Gulf Coast, as the Owls are 2-10 ATS off 3 SU/ATS wins when playing an opponent not off a SU/ATS win.  Even better:  the Eagles play with revenge from a 32-point loss to the Owls last season.  And Florida Gulf Coast is 8-0 ATS as a revenge-minded underdog of more than 4 points.  Take the Eagles + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Prairie View A&M Panthers + the points over Texas A&M.  The Aggies have not performed well as a big home favorite, as it's gone 15-27 ATS when laying 17+ points.  Likewise, the Aggies are 5-19 ATS at home when playing an opponent with a negative scoring margin of -3.00 ppg (or worse).  Last year, the Aggies won by 20 vs. Prairie View, 86-66.  The good news for the Panthers is that they've cashed 67% as revenge-minded underdogs.  Take Prairie View + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Bellarmine Knights + the points over High Point.  The Knights come into Saturday's game off back to back 40+ point SU/ATS losses, while High Points enters off back to back SU/ATS wins.  We'll take Bellarmine to bounce back on Saturday evening, as NCAA teams off back to back 30-point (or worse) SU/ATS losses have cashed 57% since 1990 vs. foes off a win.  Take Bellarmine.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Wyoming Cowboys + the points over BYU.  The Cougars come into this evening's game off back to back blowout wins over Georgia State (86-54) and Bellarmine (101-59).  We'll fade BYU, as it's a poor 37-62 ATS vs. winning foes, if BYU was off back to back double-digit wins, and also won its previous game ATS.  Take the Cowboys + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Valley St. Delta Devils + the points over San Francisco.  The Dons have covered 3 straight games.  But it's a dismal 1-9 ATS in non-conference games when it was on a 3-game (or better) ATS win streak.  Meanwhile, the Delta Devils are 35-18 ATS as an underdog of more than 8 points off a loss.  Take Mississippi Valley St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Arkansas Razorbacks minus the points over NC Wilmington.  The Razorbacks won, but failed to cover, their last two games (against Lipscomb and Abilene Christian).  But off those two ATS defeats, we'll lay the points with Arkansas, as it's cashed 63.1% of home non-conference games since 1990 off back to back ATS losses.  Take the Razorbacks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Lafayette Leopards + the points over Richmond.  The Spiders won here, at home, nine days ago vs. Buffalo, 72-66, while Lafayette was blown out by 18 points, 78-60, by Quinnipiac.  The Leopards are 8-0 ATS as a double-digit dog off a SU loss, while Richmond is 6-17 ATS off a home win.  Take Lafayette + the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers minus the points over Central Arkansas.  The Bears got the $$$ two days ago in a 16-point loss (as a 32.5-point underdog) vs. Oklahoma.  But off that ATS win, we'll fade Central Arkansas this afternoon, as it's 12-31-2 ATS off a point spread win.  Take Missouri.

At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Alabama A&M Bulldogs + the points over Georgia.  Alabama A&M has been installed as a monstrous underdog this afternoon, and we'll happily grab the points, noting that Georgia is an awful 27-50-2 ATS its last 79, including 2-11-1 ATS when favored by more than 9 points.  Take Alabama A&M.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Fordham Rams minus the points over Columbia.  The Lions enter off back to back SU/ATS road wins over Lafayette and Fairleigh Dickinson, while Fordham lost its two previous games, SU/ATS, to St. John's and Central Connecticut St.  We'll take Fordham to rebound off those losses, as it's 11-0 ATS off back to back SU/ATS losses, while Columbia is 11-31-1 ATS off back to back ATS wins.  Take Fordham minus the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights + the points over Illinois.  We played on the Illini in their previous game, and got the $$$ when they blew out Missouri, 97-73.  Tonight, Illinois will welcome Fairleigh Dickinson to Champaign, and the Knights lost their two previous games SU/ATS.  Unfortunately for Illinois, it's a poor 6-20-1 ATS off a win, when favored by more than 8 points against a foe off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take Fairleigh Dickinson + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the St Mary's Gaels minus the points over Kent State.  The Gaels had their 5-game win streak snapped last Saturday when they lost at home to Missouri St, 69-64, as a 13.5-point favorite.  We'll take Randy Bennett's men to bounce back on Friday, as they're 33-13 ATS their last 46 home non-conference games off an ATS loss.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Eastern Kentucky Colonels + the points over Purdue.  The Boilermakers were my preseason pick (at 15-1 odds) to win the national championship.  And, so far, they've not disappointed as they're ranked #1 with an 11-1 record.  Purdue blew out Jacksonville, 100-57, in their last game, while the Dolphins lost at Alabama.  We'll fade Purdue, as the Boilers are an ugly 0-10 ATS off a win by 14 (or more) points when they were matched up against an opponent off a loss.  Take Eastern Kentucky + the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over McNeese St.  The Cowboys are 10-2, but this will be their toughest test yet.  The Wolves come into this game off a 106-101 loss to the Florida Gators, so they'll be looking to bounce back on Friday.  And Michigan generally does rebound off losses, as they're 93-56-2 ATS.  Lay the points with Juwan Howard's men.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Maine Black Bears + the points over Minnesota.  This will be the Golden Gophers' final non-conference tune-up before their Big 10 schedule resumes (they played Ohio State and Nebraska earlier this month).  The Gophers have won 4 straight, and have covered their last six.  But they also haven't played a game in over a week, so I expect some rust this evening.  Maine is 14-5 ATS as a double digit underdog.  And it's also 21-11 ATS off a loss vs. an opponent off a win.  Finally, the Black Bears fall into an 871-649-31 ATS system of mine. Take Maine + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bearcats minus the points over Evansville.  The Bearcats will open their Big 12 Conference season at BYU next week, and will welcome the Purple Aces into Cincinnati as a final tune-up before conference play.  The Bearcats last played a week ago and downed Stetson, 83-75, as a 21.5-point home favorite.  Cincy is a stellar 15-0 ATS off an ATS loss, when it wasn't favored by more than 21 points, so I look for it to blow out Evansville tonight.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the North Florida Ospreys + the points over Miami-Fla.  The Hurricanes smashed Stonehill, 97-59, in their last game to move to 8-2 on the season.  Miami's favored by double-digits tonight, but is a woeful 7-23 ATS when laying 13+ points at home, including 13-1 ATS off back to back wins.  Even worse:  Miami is 2-11 ATS at home off a win by 30+ points.  Take North Florida.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the North Texas Mean Green minus the points over Texas Arlington.  The Mean Green have lost 3 straight games, and have failed to cover the spread in their last two, while Arlington is on a 4-game ATS win streak.  We'll take North Texas minus the points, as it's cashed 71% since 1990 off back to back SU/ATS losses vs. foes off back to back ATS wins.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Titans + the points over NC State.  It's true that the Titans are 0-12 on the season, and have been outscored by 16.41 ppg. But we'll still take Detroit, and go against NC State, as ACC Conference teams are a miserable 46-78 ATS when favored against an opponent with a negative scoring margin that lost its last three games SU/ATS.  Take Detroit.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the West Virginia Mountaineers minus the points over Toledo.  West Virginia lost here, in Morgantown, to Radford, 66-65, on Wednesday.  We'll lay the points with the Mountaineers, as they've cashed 73% since 1990 as a home favorite off an upset home loss.  Take WVU.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Illinois Illini minus the points over Missouri.  The Tigers are a woeful 13-27 ATS as an underdog of more than 4 points when not playing with revenge.  Lay the points with Illinois.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Bellarmine Knights + the points over BYU.  The Knights were blown out, 85-43, by Utah on Wednesday.  We'll grab the points, as Bellarmine is 8-0 ATS off a loss by more than 18 points.  Take the Knights.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Middle Tennessee St Blue Raiders + the points over Southern Utah. The Blue Raiders lost by 37 at St. Mary's on Tuesday.  We'll take Middle Tennessee, as Southern Utah has cashed just 34.7% vs. foes off losses by more than 20 points.  Take the Blue Raiders.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish minus the points over Marist.  The Irish are 4-7 after getting upset, 65-45, by The Citadel, while Marist is 7-2 following its 24-point blowout of Maryland-Eastern Shore.  We'll take the Irish to bounce back on Friday, as ACC Conference teams are 79-53-4 ATS at home off an upset home loss, if they're matched up against a foe off a win.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks + the points over VCU.  The Rams have been installed as a huge favorite this evening.  Unfortunately, they're 1-11 ATS off a win, if they were favored at home by 19+ points.  Take the Hawks.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis minus the points over Southern Indiana.  The Screaming Eagles won last year's meeting, 71-53.  We'll take the revenge-minded Salukis tonight, as they're 38-18 ATS as a favorite of -7 (or more) points, when playing with revenge, including 27-8 ATS off a SU win.  Take Southern Illinois.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears minus the points over Mississippi Valley St.  The Bears lost their last two games, vs. Michigan St and Duke, after starting the season with nine straight wins.  We'll take Baylor tonight, as the Bears are 62-26 ATS as a favorite off back to back losses.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks minus the points over Kent St.  The Ducks were blown out, 83-63, by Syracuse in its last game.  It was the lowest amount of points Oregon has scored this season, and resulted primarily from a 4-for-27 performance from 3-point territory.  Since 1990, Oregon has cashed 59.2% in non-conference games off an upset loss, including 7-0 ATS their last seven as a home favorite.  Take the Ducks minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida A&M Rattlers + the points over Central Florida.  The Rattlers return home to the Sunshine State after getting blitzed in the state of Iowa last weekend.  Florida A&M lost to both Iowa and Iowa State by 36 and 38 points, respectively.  We'll take the Rattlers tonight, as they're 6-0 ATS their last six (and 11-1 ATS their last 12) as an underdog on a 2-game ATS losing streak.  Even better, at Game 10 forward, teams with a negative scoring margin of -15.0 ppg have cashed 61.1% on the road if they were off a 30-point (or worse) SU/ATS loss.  Take Florida A&M.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the College of Charleston Cougars minus the points over St. Joseph's.  The Hawks have won their last six games, including a 25-point blowout of cross-town rival, Iona, last Saturday.  The Hawks are now 9-2 on the season, but 10 of their 11 games were played in their home city of Philadelphia.  They have won 9 of those 10 games played in Philly, but lost their only game outside the city.  The Hawks are 9-17-1 ATS their last 26 road games off a point spread win, including 1-7 ATS vs. non-conference foes.  Take Charleston minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the Old Dominion Monarchs + the points over TCU.  The Monarchs lost to conference rival, James Madison, 84-69, in their last game.  We'll take ODU to bounce back, as it's 105-82 ATS in the regular season off a conference loss, including 9-0 ATS its last nine.  Take the Monarchs + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Holy Cross Crusaders + the points over Harvard.  The Crimson come into this game off four straight ATS losses.  We'll look for that losing streak to stretch to five games this afternoon, as Harvard is 51-84-1 ATS as a favorite off an ATS loss.  And it's also 14-38 ATS as a home favorite when it's been on a 2-game (or worse) losing streak.  Grab the points with Holy Cross.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Alcorn St. Braves + the points over George Washington.  The Revolutionaries will take the floor tonight for the first time in nine days, following their win over Bowie St, while the Braves played (and lost) just two days ago.  There's always a 'rest vs. rust' debate, and I favor the rust side in the debate when it comes to NCAA basketball.  Indeed, teams (like George Washington) that were off 3+ wins have gone 338-397 ATS at home in the regular season when they were playing with more than a week of rest, including 26.3% the last 7 years against foes that had no more than 1 day of rest.  The Revolutionaries are also 64-83-4 ATS as a favorite in non-conference games, including 9-15-2 ATS vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take Alcorn St.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina Tar Heels minus the points over Oklahoma.  The Tar Heels were upset by Kentucky, 87-83, on Saturday.  And that was North Carolina's 2nd straight loss.  We'll take the Tar Heels to bounce back, as they've gone 29-15-2 ATS in non-conference games off an upset loss.  Lay the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Utah Valley Wolverines + the points over Liberty.  The Flames are outscoring their foes by 20.08 ppg this season.  But we will go against Liberty tonight, as Utah Valley is 24-4 ATS its last 28 when playing an opponent with a scoring margin north of 2.6 points per game.  Take the Wolverines.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears minus the points over UC San Diego.  After covering the spread in five straight games, the Cal Bears stumbled vs. Ole Miss, and lost by 10, as a 2.5-point underdog.  We'll take California to get back into the win column this afternoon, as it's cashed 63% since 1990 as a home favorite vs. non-conference foes, if Cal was off a loss, and its opponent was off a SU/ATS win.  Lay the points.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Alcorn State Braves + the points over Drake.  The Braves come into tonight's game off back to back losses to Maryland (105-65) and Northern Iowa (100-82).  We'll take the points with Alcorn State, as underdogs of 6+ points, off back to back SU/ATS losses in which they gave up 100+ points, have cashed 68.4% since 1990.  Take the Braves.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Florida St. Seminoles minus the points over North Florida.  The Ospreys blew out Trinity Baptist, 113-72, on Saturday.  We'll fade North Florida off that high-scoring win, as it is 10-23 ATS after scoring more than 78 points, including 0-7 ATS as an underdog of more than 12.  Take the Seminoles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the SF Austin Lumberjacks minus the points over New Mexico St.  The Aggies come into this game off a heartbreaking 1-point loss to rival New Mexcio.  The Aggies were a 14.5-point underdog, and lost 73-72, as the Lobos scored the game-winning lay-up with 23 seconds left in the game.  I expect a letdown tonight, as road underdogs of +9 (or more) points off a 1-point loss in a game where they were 13-point (or greater) dogs, have gone 1-15 ATS in the regular season.  Lay the points with Stephen F. Austin.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes minus the points over Coppin St.  The Dukes are undefeated, at 10-0, and ranked #20 in the Associated Press poll.  Even better:  they're 7-2 ATS this season, and were 18-12 ATS last year (25-14 ATS combined).  One of the Dukes' losses last season was to Coppin St.  The Eagles upset the Dukes, 107-100, in Baltimore.  We'll take the revenge-minded Dukes to blow out the Eagles, as Coppin St is a woeful 1-6 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe.  And the Eagles are 8-17-1 ATS their last 26 road games.  Take the Dukes minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks + the points over Marist.  The Hawks won last year's meeting, 70-59, as a 2.5-point home favorite.  This season's game is in Poughkeepsie, and the Red Foxes come into this game off 5 straight covers.  But they were never laying double-digits in those games.  Indeed, this is the first time Marist has been favored by double-digits since 2021, a span of 60 games.  Notwithstanding Marist's recent success ATS, I think the point spread adjustment has been too great.  We'll take the Hawks, as they are 32-19-1 ATS on the road.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Alcorn State Braves + the points over Northern Iowa.  The Braves come into this afternoon's game off their worst game of the season.  They were blown out by 40 points, 105-65, by Maryland as a 23-point underdog.  We'll take Alcorn State to bounce back as it's 13-5 ATS on the road off a 20-point (or worse) defeat.  And Northern Iowa is 1-13 ATS as a favorite of more than 13 points vs. a non-conference foe with a negative scoring margin.  Take Alcorn State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Portland Pilots + the points over Grand Canyon.  The Antelopes upset Liberty, 69-64, as a 5-point road underdog last Saturday.  We'll fade Grand Canyon off that upset win, as it is 0-6-2 ATS as a favorite of more than 2 points off an upset win.  Take the Pilots + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Creighton Blue Jays minus the points over Alabama.  We played against Creighton its last time out, and easily got the $$$ when UNLV blew them out as a 13.5-point underdog.  Off that upset loss, we'll lay the points with the Blue Jays, as they're 31-13 ATS at home off a loss, including 9-1 ATS in non-conference games.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Charleston Southern Buccaneers + the points over South Carolina.  The Gamecocks are 8-1 ATS this season.  However, their one ATS loss was when they were favored by 22 points vs. VMI.  They're a massive favorite in this game, and we will happily grab the points, as South Carolina is an awful 0-5 ATS their last five (and 11-21-1 ATS their last 33) when favored by more than 16 points vs. a non-conference foe.  Take Charleston Southern.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Pacific Tigers + the points over Cal Davis.  The Mustangs are favored on the road, even though they're 3-5 SU, and off an upset loss as a 9-point favorite vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  We'll fade Cal Davis, and take the points with Pacific.  For technical support, consider that losing teams, off a SU/ATS loss, have covered just 107 of 255 as road favorites vs. non-conference foes.  Take Pacific + the points.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the SE Louisiana Lions + the points over Murray State.  The Lions were blown out, 89-60, by Louisiana Tech on Tuesday.  But off that loss, we'll look for SE Louisiana to bounce back this afternoon.  The Lions are a solid 24-10 ATS off a double-digit road loss, while Murray St is a miserable 74-100 when favored by more than 10 points.  Take the Lions.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the St. John's Red Storm minus the points over Fordham.  The Rams upset North Texas, 60-59, as a 6-point underdog, and are now 5-5 on the season.  Unfortunately, the Rams are a wallet-breaking 18-37-1 ATS as an underdog of 6+ points on the road off a straight-up win.  Take St. John's.
