PICKS IN PROGRESS
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Coppin St. Eagles + the points over North Carolina Central. Coppin St. comes into this game off an upset win over Delaware St. And it also plays with revenge from an 11 point loss to NC Central earlier this season. We'll take Coppin St., as it's cashed 57% on the road off an upset win. And it's also cashed 64% on the road when it was playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Take Coppin St. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 4 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes + the points over Appalachian St. The Dukes were blown out by the Mountaineers, 80-65, last month. We'll take James Madison to avenge that defeat, as it falls into a 336-242-15 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams that lost to their opponent by 15+ points earlier in the season. Additionally, the Mountaineers have covered just 42.1% since 1990 off back to back wins, if they were on the road vs. a revenge-minded foe. Take James Madison.
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears + the points over Louisville. We played against Baylor on Tuesday, and got the $$$ with BYU as a road favorite. Baylor lost that game, 99-94, which was its second straight defeat. We'll switch gears and back the Bears this afternoon, as Baylor is 69-46-8 ATS as an underdog off back to back losses. Take Baylor.
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks + the points over Texas St. The Bobcats won and covered their fifth straight game when they upset Troy, 74-62, on Wednesday. But that upset win has triggered a negative 82-147 ATS system of mine, and we'll fade the Bobcats this afternoon. Take the Warhawks + the points.
At 2 pm, our selection is on the Texas El Paso Miners + the points over Liberty. UTEP comes into this game off back to back upset wins over New Mexico St., and Jacksonville St. We'll take the Miners, as they've cashed 63% as a home dog the past 36 years off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take UTEP.
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes + the points over Virginia. The Cavaliers are 1-5 ATS their last six games. And they're also 4-10-1 ATS their last 15 games played on a neutral court. We'll grab the points with the Buckeyes, who fall into a 69-30 ATS system of mine which goes against certain foes with a .750 (or better) record. Take Ohio St.
At 6 pm, our selection is on the LSU Tigers + the points over Tennessee. The Tigers were blown out by 29 points by Arkansas, 91-62. We'll take LSU to bounce back, as it's cashed 67% since 1990 on the road off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, if it lost its previous game by 25+ points. And the Tigers also fall into a 912-663 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off blowout losses. Take LSU.
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Air Force Falcons + the points over Fresno St. The Falcons come into this game off back to back SU/ATS home losses to San Diego St. and Colorado St. And Air Force also lost by 17 points to the Bulldogs last month. We'll take the revenge-minded Falcons, as Air Force has cashed 60% since 1990 on the road with revenge off a SU loss, if its opponent was off a point spread win. Take Air Force + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Northern Colorado Bears minus the points over Portland St. The Bears lost at Portland St. by three points last month, 76-73. We'll lay the points, as the Vikings are a poor 1-9 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe they defeated earlier in the season when the Vikings were not getting 5+ points in the current game. Take Northern Colorado minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Iowa St. Cyclones minus the points over Kansas. The Cyclones lost by 21 points at Kansas earlier this season, 84-63. We'll take ISU to avenge that defeat, as it is 84-55-3 ATS as a revenge-minded favorite at home, or on a neutral court. And Kansas is 3-11 ATS its last 14 as an underdog vs. revenge-minded foes. Take Iowa State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Providence Friars + the points over St. John's. Providence upset the Johnnies, 77-71, as a 14-point road underdog last month. And that was the 5th straight game where Providence covered vs. St. John's. The Friars are a solid 75-50-3 ATS vs. foes seeking revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Grab the points.
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Valley St. Delta Devils + the points over Alabama A&M. The Delta Devils are 48-28-1 ATS when priced from +9 to +19 points. And they fall into a 129-67 ATS revenge system of mine. Grab the points.
At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the UT-Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros + the points over SF Austin. The Vaqueros have won their last eight games. And home dogs (or PK) off 7+ wins have gone 98-62 ATS. Take Rio Grande Valley. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
