At 6 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over Old Dominion.  The Terps come into this game off 3 straight losses to Iowa, Michigan and Virginia.  But Maryland was a double-digit underdog in each of those three games.  So, it will no doubt be happy to see the 4-9 Monarchs roll into XFINITY Center this evening.  Maryland is 27-1 SU and 22-6 ATS as a favorite of 8 (or more) points in non-conference games off a SU loss.  And Big 10 Conference teams have cashed 58% since 1990 off back-to-back losses, if they were favored by more than 9 points, and did not own a winning record.  Lay the points with the Terps.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Liberty Flames minus the points over Florida International.  The Flames come into this game off an upset win, 64-61, over Dayton last weekend.  The Flames are a fantastic 11-2 ATS off an upset win, while the Panthers are a poor 8-22 ATS vs. foes off an upset win, so that bodes well for Liberty this afternoon.  Admittedly, the Panthers have covered their last 5 games.  But they're still a wallet-breaking 6-16 ATS off 4+ ATS wins.  Liberty falls into a very good 410-237-4 ATS system of mine, and we'll lay the points with the road favorite on Sunday.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the New York Jets/New England game.  Fifteen of the last 20 meetings between these AFC East division rivals have gone UNDER the total, including 8-1 UNDER in games played at the Jets.  Additionally, The Jets have gone 22-11-2 UNDER in their final home game of the season, including 6-0-1 UNDER when the O/U line was between 41 and 45 points.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns + the points over Pittsburgh.  The Steelers won the first meeting of the season, 23-9, in Pittsburgh.  We'll take the Browns in the rematch, as the team playing with revenge has cashed 58% in this rivalry, including 64% ATS at home.  And NFL teams, priced from -2 to +9, have gone 16-0-1 ATS at home in the final 2 weeks of the regular season, if they were off 3+ losses, and their foe was off 2+ wins.  Take the Browns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Seahawks minus the points over Carolina.  The Panthers scored a huge upset win last week when they upended division rival, Tampa Bay, as a 3-point home dog.  We'll fade Carolina at home this afternoon, as it has cashed just 27% at home off a division upset win, if its opponent was also off a SU win.  Meanwhile, Seattle is a solid 40-29-1 ATS vs. non-division foes off an upset win.  Lay the points with Seattle.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Cincinnati/Arizona game.  The Bengals' defense has been porous this season, giving up 30.53 ppg.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to look for a high-scoring game this afternoon.  But NFL teams with defenses that allow 30+ points (at game 6 forward) have gone UNDER 57.7% since 1980 in games with O/U lines of 50+ points.  Take the Under.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Jacksonville/Indianapolis game.  AFC South division games have gone 57% under in games with O/U lines greater than 44 points, including 67.2% if it was the 2nd meeting of the season.  Take the Colts and Jaguars Under.

At 8:20 pm, our selection is on the Chicago/San Francisco game to go UNDER the total.  I like playing on the Under in match-ups between two good teams with .583 (or better) win percentages, if the game was competitively-priced with a point spread less than 5 points, and the O/U line was greater than 49 points.  Since 1980, these games have gone UNDER 59.2%.  Take the Bears and 49ers UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Titans + the points over the New Orleans Saints.  This is the Titans' final home game of the season.  Since 1980, NFL teams with a worse record than their opponent, have cashed 56% in their final home game of the season when installed as an underdog.  Grab the points with Tennessee.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Indianapolis Colts + the points over Jacksonville.  The Colts have lost 5 straight games.  We'll grab the points with Indy this afternoon, as home dogs have cashed 57% of division games since 1980 in the season's final 3 weeks if they were off 5+ losses.  Take the Colts.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over New England.  The Jets have been installed as a double-digit home dog.  Dating back to 1980, double-digit home dogs have gone 135-102 ATS, including 90-59 ATS vs. .666 (or better) foes off a SU win.  Take the Jets.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over the Sacramento Kings.  The Lakers were called out publicly by coach JJ Redick on Christmas for their failure to play defense, so I expect a much better effort in that regard, tonight.  Los Angeles is a solid 57% as a favorite off 3 SU/ATS losses since 1990 when matched-up against a losing team.  Lay the points with L.A.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  Los Angeles is on a 3-game SU/ATS win streak.  Unfortunately, the Clippers have covered just 42% as a home underdog off 3 SU/ATS wins over the last 36 seasons.  Meanwhile, Detroit is 58-45-3 ATS on the road off an upset loss, when matched-up against a foe off a SU win.  With the Pistons in off a 131-129 upset at the hands of the Utah Jazz, we'll lay the points with Detroit tonight.

At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Philadelphia.  The Thunder were walloped on Christmas Day by San Antonio.  But the Spurs clearly present unique problems to OKC, which other teams do not.  I look for the Thunder to bounce back this afternoon, as defending champs have cashed 62% since 1997 off an upset loss as a favorite of more than 10 points.  Take the Thunder.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks + the points over Kansas State.  The Wildcats have covered just 38.7% over the last 30 years when favored by 19+ points.  And they've also cashed just 38.2% since 1990 vs. non-conference foes off a point spread loss by 10+ points.  Take Louisiana-Monroe.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Buffaloes minus the points over Northern Colorado.  Last weekend, the Buffs were upset, 77-68, by Stanford.  We'll take Colorado to rebound off that upset loss, as it's cashed 62% since 1990 in non-conference games off upset defeats.  Lay the points.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Santa Clara Broncos minus the points over Oregon St.  The Broncos were upset by the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers, 80-78, last weekend.  We'll lay the points with the Broncos, as they've cashed 71% since 1990 as a road favorite off an upset loss.  Take Santa Clara.
