02-25-17 | Tulane v. Temple -10.5 | Top | 76-86 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Temple Owls minus the points over Tulane. The Owls are playing their final home game of the season, and they're also off back to back upset losses. But teams off 2 upset defeats are a solid 64.2% ATS in their final home game of the season the past 10 years. Lay the points with Temple. |

02-25-17 | Northern Illinois v. Eastern Michigan -5 | Top | 68-84 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Eastern Michigan Eagles minus the points over Northern Illinois. EMU has dropped its last seven games (both SU and ATS), yet finds itself installed as a favorite vs. the Huskies. Faithful followers know I love playing on teams on losing streaks. Indeed, we had a big play on NC State this past Tuesday vs. Georgia Tech when the Wolfpack were on a 7-game SU/ATS skid. Coincidentally, the Eagles fall into one of my systems that also tabbed NC State five days ago, and that angle has now cashed 14 in a row, and is 98-44 ATS since 1990. Take Eastern Michigan. MAC Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-24-17 | Jazz -3 v. Bucks | Top | 109-95 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee and Utah met earlier this month, and the Jazz rolled to an easy 104-88 victory at home. Utah actually led by 25 at one point in the 3rd quarter. Even worse for the Bucks: that game was before Jabari Parker's season-ending injury. Milwaukee has gone 3-1 in its four games since Parker went down, including 3-0 its last three before the All-Star break. Unfortunately, the Bucks are an awful 6-42 ATS at home off 3+ wins, if their opponent is not playing its 3rd game in four nights (including 0-18 ATS in the final 35 games of the season). That doesn't bode well for Jason Kidd's men on Friday. Finally, Utah should get Rodney Hood back for this game, and it would mark the first time all season that the Jazz were completely healthy. Take Utah minus the points. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |

02-23-17 | St. Mary's v. Pepperdine +19 | Top | 78-49 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 41 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Pepperdine Waves + the points against St. Mary's. The Gaels are off back to back blowout wins and covers, while the Waves have lost SU/ATS by double-digits in each of their last two games. But .888 (or better) double-digit favorites, off back to back double-digits SU/ATS wins are a poor 34.7% ATS the past 27 years vs. foes off back to back double-digit SU/ATS losses. Take Pepperdine. |
|||||||
02-23-17 | Wisconsin v. Ohio State +5.5 | Top | 73-83 | Win | 100 | 18 h 41 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes + the points over Wisconsin. The Buckeyes have dropped their last four games, and also play with revenge from a 23-point loss in Madison, in January. But we'll take Ohio State in this home dog role tonight, as OSU is a super 78% the past 27 years off back to back losses, if it is getting more than 2 points, and lost earlier in the season to its opponent (including a perfect 8-0 ATS its last eight). Take Ohio St. |
|||||||
02-23-17 | Rockets -3 v. Pelicans | Top | 129-99 | Win | 100 | 19 h 59 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over New Orleans. Immediately before the All Star Break, the Rockets laid an egg at home, as they fell, 117-109, as a double-digit favorite to the Miami Heat. But I look for Houston to come back strong tonight, as it is 106-65 ATS on the road off an upset loss. It's also 14-7 ATS its last 21 following an upset loss, including a perfect 7-0 ATS when not favored by 4+ points. Meanwhile, the Pelicans upset Memphis in their last game before the break, but they're a poor 8-18 ATS off an upset road win, including 0-6 ATS when priced from +3 to +7. Finally, the Rockets fall into a 92-31 ATS system of mine which plays on certain rested teams off upset losses. Take Houston. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-23-17 | Rangers -101 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the New York Rangers over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Metropolitan Division is by far the most competitive - and talented - division in hockey. The top four teams of that Division are separated by just seven points as of this writing, and the fourth-place club - the Rangers - would be a first place club in two of the other three Divisions in the NHL. And the goal differential of those four teams is +69 (Caps), +41 (Pens), +44 (Jackets), and +43 (Rangers), which would be the top four in the league were it not for the Minnesota Wild's +60. The Rangers were on quite a roll to start February, winning their first six games of the month, including a huge 3-2 victory over the Jackets. But then they lost two of their next three games, with another big win over the Caps sandwiched in between the losses. On Tuesday they lost a very tough one to the Canadiens, 3-2 in a shootout so they will look to rebound tonight in Toronto against a team they have dominated recently. Toronto comes in on a two-game winning streak, but the Leafs have allowed 15 goals in their last four games and that doesn't bode well tonight against the NHL's second-highest scoring team. The Rangers are 5-1 in the last six meetings and 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Toronto. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-23-17 | UTEP v. Florida Atlantic +1 | Top | 60-55 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 41 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida Atlantic Owls + the points over Texas El Paso. The Miners have been a streaky team this season. Earlier this year, they dropped 12 straight games. They're now on a 9-2 run, and have also covered their last nine ballgames. But it's tough to back the Miners tonight, and especially given that they're off back to back road wins, and the game is competitively-priced. For technical support, consider that UTEP is 0-15 ATS following back to back wins away from home when the line was single-digits. Take the Owls. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-22-17 | Oregon v. California +3.5 | Top | 68-65 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
At 9 pm our selection is on the California Golden Bears + the points over Oregon. We played on the Ducks on Saturday in their final home game of the season, and were rewarded with a 28-point blowout win over the Colorado Buffaloes. But off that emotional victory, we'll fade the Ducks on Wednesday in Berkeley. Oregon's won and covered three straight, but road favorites off back to back SU/ATS wins are a dismal 30.8% ATS since 1990 vs. .685 (or better) foes off an upset road loss. With California in off an upset loss at Stanford, we'll grab the points with California tonight. NCAA Roadkill. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-22-17 | St. Louis +22 v. VCU | Top | 50-64 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Billikens + the points over Virginia Commonwealth. The Billikens come into tonight's game off back to back double-digit SU/ATS losses. But those two blowout defeats set up our play tonight, as St. Louis falls into 92-34, 114-58 and 172-100 ATS systems of mine. Additionally, .250 (or better) underdogs of more than 20 points have cashed a whopping 84.3% in regular season games since Feb. 10, 1991 off back to back double-digit losses, when matched up against conference foes off back to back double-digit wins. Take St. Louis. NCAA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-21-17 | Ole Miss v. Mississippi State -1.5 | Top | 87-82 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 38 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs minus the points over Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have dropped four straight games, but have been competitive in their last five, as they're 4-1 ATS, with their only ATS loss by a mere point. Miss State is a super 47-25 ATS at home off back to back losses, and is also 7-0 ATS its last 7 at home with same-season revenge vs. .640 (or worse) foes. And SEC Conference home teams, off back to back losses, are 262-196 ATS vs. conference foes if our home team's conference record is worse than its opponent's, and its opponent is NOT off back to back losses. But that's not the best part. If our home team is favored, and also playing with same season revenge, then our 262-196 stat zooms to 35-14 ATS. Take the Bulldogs. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-21-17 | NC State +5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 71-69 | Win | 100 | 20 h 39 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina State Wolfpack + the points over Georgia Tech. The Wolfpack are on a 7-game SU/ATS losing streak. But NC State was inferior to each of those seven opponents; it's not inferior to Georgia Tech, as my numbers actually rate NC State as the slightly better club. However, NC State's long losing streak has caused the pointspread to be somewhat inflated. We'll grab the points with (lame duck coach) Mark Gottfried's men, as NC State falls into 97-44, 99-55 and 77-42 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams on SU/ATS losing streaks. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets are a dismal 2-12 SU and 0-14 ATS when favored by less than 13 points, if they're playing an opponent off 3+ ATS losses. Take the Wolfpack. |
|||||||
02-21-17 | Oklahoma v. Baylor -12 | Top | 54-60 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 38 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears minus the points over Oklahoma. The Bears lost a heartbreaker, at home, to Kansas on Saturday, as they were outscored 8-0 down the stretch to fall by two points to the Jayhawks. That was the 2nd straight loss by the 22-5 Bears. But I look for Baylor to rebound on this Tuesday, and blow out the Sooners, as Baylor is 50-21 ATS in the regular season off back to back losses, including a perfect 7-0 ATS vs. .460 (or worse) opponents! Even better: .800+ teams, at Game 25 forward, have cashed 63% at home over the past 27 seasons off back to back losses. Lay the points with Baylor. |
|||||||
02-20-17 | Panthers v. Blues -132 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -132 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Blues over the Florida Panthers. Some teams fire their long-time head coach when things start going south, only to find that the alternative isn't any better. That hasn't been the case with the St. Louis Blues, who released Ken Hitchcock - their Skipper since 2011 - and replaced him with former Wild Head Coach Mike Yeo. The fact that Yeo is quite a bit younger - and inexperienced - than the man he replaced hasn't seemed to matter, as the Blues have gone 7-2 in Yeo's first nine games as Bench Boss. What's even more impressive about the Blues' recent success is that they've done it without two of their biggest offensive stars. Center Peter Stastny hasn't played since February 9 as he nurses a lower body injury on I-R, and F/C Robby Fabbri tore his ACL on February 4 and will miss the remainder of the regular season (at least). St. Louis lost a tough one on Saturday, falling in Buffalo by a 3-2 tally despite out-shooting the Sabres by 39-28. Meanwhile, Florida is wrapping up one of its most successful road trips in recent memory, having won four straight in Nashville, San Jose, Anaheim, and L.A. That streak will likely end tonight, as Florida is 45-85 following a road win by 1 goal. Moreover, this has been one of the most lopsided match-ups of the last decade, with the Panthers having beaten the Blues on just one occasion since October of 2009 (1-7). Finally, the Blues' loss snapped a six-game winning streak in which they out-scored the opposition by 20-6. And St. Louis is 43-26 off a loss. Take St. Louis. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-20-17 | Boston College v. Florida State -19 | Top | 72-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 3 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida State Seminoles minus the points over Boston College. Florida State comes into this game off back to back losses -- at Notre Dame and at Pittsburgh. But FSU will catch a breather tonight, as Boston College has lost 10 straight games, and is an awful 1-9 on the road this season, and 2-12 in ACC play. Meanwhile, Florida State is 16-0 SU at home (10-4 ATS), and falls into a super 71.7% ATS system of mine, which plays on certain home favorites of -12.5 (or more) points, off back-to-back losses, that are undefeated at home. This will be a roast. Lay the points with the Seminoles. NCAA High Roller Winner! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-20-17 | Texas-Arlington v. Georgia Southern +6.5 | Top | 81-71 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Georgia Southern Eagles + the points over Texas Arlington. The Mavericks are 20-6 on the season, and are 10-3 in Sun Belt Conference play. But Georgia Southern is just a half-game behind, at 10-4. The Eagles are 10-1 at home this season, with their only loss by 3 points, 85-82, to Florida Gulf Coast (a defeat they avenged nine days later with a 72-59 win at Florida Gulf). This will be Georgia Southern's final home game of the season, and teams playing their final home game of the season have cashed 62.3% as home dogs of +5 or more points since 1991, if their home W/L percentage was .770 (or better). Additionally, the Eagles fall into a 138-64 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home dogs with strong home courts. Take Georgia Southern. NCAA Roadkill. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-19-17 | Flyers -120 v. Canucks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 13 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Flyers over the Vancouver Canucks. The Flyers' 3-game road trip got off to the worst of possible starts when they dropped Games 1 and 2 (at Calgary and at Edmonton). Thus, Philly needs a win tonight to not return home empty-handed. I think they'll get it. The Flyers will be the much more well-rested club tonight, as it's had the last two nights off, while the Canucks skated on Saturday night (and had to go to overtime, no less). And the Flyers, notwithstanding their two losses, controlled the action in their last two games, as they outshot the Flames and Oilers by 11 shots each. Philly has won 17 of the past 26 meetings, including eight of the last 11 in Vancouver. Take the Flyers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-19-17 | Lightning -155 v. Avalanche | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over Colorado. The Avalanche snapped their five-game losing streak with a 2-1 win at Carolina, on Friday. But I look for the Avs to return to their losing ways tonight vs. a Tampa club which looks to bounce back from a tough overtime loss last night. Colorado is an awful 1-7 after not giving up 2+ goals in its previous game. And it's also 3-12 off a win this season, including 1-7 off a road win. Yesterday, the Lightning had backup Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes, but #1 netminder Ben Bishop will be back on the ice tonight. Take Tampa Bay. |
|||||||
02-19-17 | Blackhawks -120 v. Sabres | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
At 6:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over the Buffalo Sabres. It was a night of upsets in the NHL on Saturday as several strong favorites fell to their underdog opponents. The Blackhawks were not spared as they put in a lackluster performance in losing to the Oilers at home. You could say that Chicago was due for a letdown after winning five straight (all on the road) by a combined score of 23-12. That letdown came against the same team the Hawks had just beaten (Edmonton) as despite out-shooting the Oilers by a 39-22 margin, Chicago fell 3-1 at United Center. They head back out on the road this evening to face a Sabres team that posted a huge win last night, beating the Blues 3-2 right here at the KeyBank Center. That victory was made even more remarkable when you consider the plethora of injuries that Buffalo has on its roster right now. The Sabres are basically down to two Centers right now as Zemgus Girgensons, Johan Larsson, and Derek Grant are all out with various ailments. This has been one of the most one-sided series in hockey in recent years as the Blackhawks are 11-1 in the last 12 meetings and 4-0 in the last four here in Buffalo. The Hawks are also 45-17 in their last 62 games vs. teams with a losing record. Take Chicago. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | St. Mary's v. BYU +4.5 | Top | 70-57 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 27 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars + the points over St. Mary's. BYU comes into this game with a 19-9 record. It is 14-2 at home, but 5-7 away from Provo (including a 13-point loss at St. Mary's on January 5). Within West Coast Conference play, it is 7-1 at home, with its only loss being an 85-75 defeat to #1-ranked Gonzaga. It is also 30-5 its last 35 conference home games, including 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. So, with that as a backdrop, we'll back the home underdog Cougars against St. Mary's tonight. One of the things I love to do is play on home underdogs with strong home courts. With 36 wins in its last 40 home games, BYU certainly qualifies. And the Cougars fall into a 153-100 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home dogs with strong home courts against .876 (or better) foes. Also, this will be BYU's final home game of the season, and it falls into a 300-226 ATS "Last Home Game" system of mine which takes certain teams in their final home game with strong home records. Take the Cougars + the points. NCAA Roadkill play. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | North Dakota v. Weber State -5.5 | Top | 77-68 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 37 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Weber State Wildcats minus the points over North Dakota, as Weber falls into 78-21, 162-77 and 285-173 ATS systems of mine that play on certain home favorites in conference games. Moreover, the Wildcats have dropped five straight games to the spread, while North Dakota has won and covered four in a row. But the Fighting Hawks' 4-game ATS win streak has set it up in a negative 71-123 ATS system of mine. These two teams met back on January 19 in Grand Forks, and the Hawks won by six, 83-77, as a 1.5-point underdog. However, Weber State is an awesome 68-25 ATS in the regular season since 2004 when playing with revenge vs. .251 (or better) foes, including 9-0 ATS when priced from -4 to -6 points. And North Dakota is a poor 3-8 ATS in the regular season off a win, when playing an opponent it defeated earlier in the season. Take Weber State. Big Sky Game of the Year! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | UTEP v. Rice -8 | Top | 79-71 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 34 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls minus the points over Texas El Paso. The Miners have covered eight straight games, including a 77-71 win at North Texas on Thursday. But this extended ATS win streak has placed UTEP in a negative 36-89 ATS system of mine. Even worse: the Miners are a wallet-busting 19-29 ATS off back to back SU/ATS wins when playing a conference foe off a win, while the Owls are 18-7 ATS off a pointspread defeat when matched up against a conference opponent off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take Rice. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Senators v. Maple Leafs -135 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Ottawa Senators. The Senators come into this game having won three of their last four games. But those three victories were against the Stars, Islanders (both at home) and the Devils (on the road). None of those three teams has a winning record, and the combined ledger for the trio is a miserable 72-100. Other than those three less-than-impressive victories, the Senators are 1-5 in six games going back to January 26, with losses against the Flames, Blues, Panthers, and lowly Sabres on two occasions. The Maple Leafs got some good news recently when they were informed by doctors that 19-year-old rookie phenom RW Mitch Marner's upper body ailment is "non-serious." Marner - who has 48 points in 56 games - probably won't suit up for tonight's game, but that likely won't matter if the Leafs can return to their form of two games ago when they scored seven goals on 41 shots against the Islanders here at the Air Canada Centre. Look for #1 goalie Frederik Andersen to be back in net tonight after he was given a day off in the Leafs last game - a 5-2 loss in Columbus to the Blue Jackets. The Senators are 1-4 in their last five games following a win while the Maple Leafs are 6-0 in their last six when playing on two days rest. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Middle Tennessee v. Marshall +5 | Top | 97-86 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
At 6 pm, our selection is on Marshall + the points over Middle Tennessee St. The Thundering Herd are 12-1 at home this season, and have won 28 of their last 33 home games (22-7 ATS) since January 24, 2015. I love playing on teams with strong home courts when they're installed as home underdogs, and Marshall falls into 125-51 and 138-62 ATS systems of mine that play on such teams. It's true that Middle Tennessee is 22-4 on the season, and comes into today's game off a 26-point win at Western Kentucky. But the Blue Raiders are a horrid 0-18 ATS off a 22-point (or greater) victory, if they covered by 10+ points in that win, and are now priced from -2 to -12 points. Take Marshall. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Rhode Island -3 v. George Mason | Top | 77-74 | Push | 0 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Rhode Island Rams minus the points over George Mason. The Rams are looking to bounce back off back-to-back home losses to Dayton and Fordham, and fall into a 39-16 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back home losses. This afternoon, they'll face a George Mason squad in off an upset win over Richmond. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they're an awful 0-13-2 ATS since 2004 in conference games off an upset win! Take Rhode Island. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | UCF v. East Carolina +4.5 | Top | 61-58 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates + the points over Central Florida. ECU upset Temple, 78-64, as a 6.5-point home underdog this past Wednesday, which has triggered a solid 96-38 ATS 'momentum' system of mine on the Pirates this afternoon. East Carolina is 29-18 ATS as a dog of +3 or more points off an upset win, while Central Florida is a poor 18-27 ATS on the road off an 8-point (or greater) win. Take East Carolina. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Eastern Michigan +2 v. Western Michigan | Top | 80-88 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Eastern Michigan Eagles + the points over Western Michigan. The Eagles have dropped five straight games -- both SU and ATS -- but that sets them up in one of my favorite systems, which is 99-54 ATS. That angle plays on certain teams off 5 SU/ATS losses. Moreover, the Eagles are a fantastic 32-10 ATS away from home off back to back losses, if they're matched up against .556 (or worse) conference opponents. Take Eastern Michigan. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Colorado v. Oregon -11 | Top | 73-101 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show |
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks minus the points over Colorado. The Buffaloes upset the Ducks in Boulder three weeks ago, but I look for Dana Altman's men to avenge that defeat today. This will be Oregon's final home game of the season, and the Ducks are an awesome 10-1 SU and 9-1-1 ATS in their final home games since 2006. Meanwhile, Colorado is an awful 1-8 SU and 1-7-1 ATS when playing a revenge-minded opponent, which is playing its final home game of the season. And it's just 10-24 ATS off back to back wins, including 0-12 ATS on the road when priced from -4 to +11.5 points. Take Oregon. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Texas-Arlington v. Georgia State +2 | Top | 68-67 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show |
At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers + the points over Texas Arlington. The Panthers come into this game off back to back upset losses, at Appalachian State, and at Coastal Carolina. But those two defeats have triggered a 78-32 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back upsets. Additionally, the Panthers are a super 26-14 ATS at home (or on a neutral court) when playing off back to back losses, including 13-4 ATS when installed as an underdog vs. a conference foe. Take Georgia State. |
|||||||
02-18-17 | Kansas v. Baylor -1.5 | Top | 67-65 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears minus the points over Kansas. The Bears were upset, 84-78, by Texas Tech on Monday. But we'll back them to bounce back and avenge their 5-point loss at Kansas earlier this month, as the Bears are 9-0-1 ATS after giving up 74+ points in their previous game. And they also fall into a 162-98 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home teams off upset losses. Take the Bears. |
|||||||
02-17-17 | Arkansas-Little Rock +8.5 v. Arkansas State | Top | 58-67 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 52 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on Arkansas Little Rock + the points over Arkansas St. The Trojans blew a 14-point lead, and lost at home to the Red Wolves, 77-72, back on January 14. That was the first time in six seasons that UALR lost to Arkansas State in Little Rock. But I like the Trojans to avenge that defeat as they're 6-0 ATS their last six roadies when playing with revenge. Additionally, Little Rock falls into one of my favorite systems, which is 320-186 ATS. That angle plays on certain teams away from home vs. .400 (or better) conference foes, if our team is off a SU loss. Finally, it's true that Arkansas State is one of 17 teams that are unbeaten at home this season (the Red Wolves are 10-0). But A-State also comes into this game off back to back road losses. And it had one of its worst offensive performances of the season in its last game, when it shot just 37% from the floor, and lost 62-58 to Texas State, as a 1-point dog. That leads us to our final angle, as we'll note that teams with a 10-0 (or better) home record are a dismal 66-122-3 ATS at home in conference games, if they own a winning SU/ATS record, but lost SU/ATS in their previous game. Take Arkansas Little Rock. ELITE INFO PLAY. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-16-17 | Middle Tennessee v. Western Kentucky +8.5 | Top | 78-52 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 14 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on Western Kentucky + the points over Middle Tennessee St. The Hilltoppers have been installed as a big home underdog on Thursday night against the 22-4 Blue Raiders, notwithstanding the fact that Western Kentucky owns a strong home court, with 32 wins in its last 40 home games. And I'll always look to back such teams at home if I can get at least 5.5 points, as they're 57% ATS since 1993, including a super 62% ATS vs. conference foes off a win. And Middle Tennessee has covered just 11 of 30 as a road favorite, if the Blue Raiders are off a win, while their opponent is off a loss. Take Western Kentucky + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-16-17 | Elon v. Towson -1 | Top | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 28 h 23 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on Towson minus the points over Elon. The Phoenix upset NC Wilmington, as a 6-point underdog on Saturday. But I look for a letdown on the road at Towson, as Elon falls into a negative 53-95 ATS system of mine which fades certain road teams off upset wins. Moreover, Towson lost by 11 at Elon back on January 7, so it will be playing with revenge this evening. And, since that loss, Towson has gone 9-1 SU and 6-4 ATS. The Tigers are 19-8 ATS off a SU win, when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Take Towson. |
|||||||
02-16-17 | SIU-Edwardsville +14 v. Murray State | Top | 73-84 | Win | 100 | 28 h 19 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on SIU Edwardsville + the points over Murray State. Faithful followers know I love to play on bad teams, and Edwardsville certainly fits the bill, as it's lost 13 in a row. But long losing streaks like this work to create line value, and we'll happily grab the points with the Cougars, as they fall into 111-60 and 131-61 ATS systems of mine (including a 22-1 ATS subset in that 131-61 ATS angle) that play on certain teams on losing streaks of 5+ games. Even better: the Racers have covered just 16 of 67 games since 2006 when priced from -10.5 to -18 points (including just 9 of 46 at home)! Take Edwardsville. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Kings v. Warriors -17 | Top | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Sacramento. The Warriors were upset, 109-106, by these Kings just 11 days ago. But Steve Kerr's men are 14-2 ATS when playing with revenge in the regular season vs. .376 (or better) foes. Moreover, Golden State is also 38-10-1 ATS its last 49 regular season games vs. foes off a win. Take the Warriors. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | San Jose State v. Fresno State -7 | Top | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Fresno State Bulldogs minus the points over San Jose State. The Bulldogs have lost 5 straight games ATS, while San Jose has won and covered four straight. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the 'hot' Spartans. But San Jose falls into negative 127-197, 71-122 and 98-160 ATS "contrarian" systems of mine that fade certain 'hot' teams. Also, Fresno plays this game with revenge from an earlier defeat this season. And the Bulldogs are 12-4 ATS their last 16 regular season games when playing with same-season revenge. Take the Bulldogs. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Knicks v. Thunder -7 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the OKC Thunder minus the points over the New York Knicks. New York played one of its best games of the season this past Sunday, when it defeated the league's 2nd best team (the Spurs), 94-90. Unfortunately for New York, that win has triggered a negative 57-109 ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off upset wins over strong foes, if they're now matched up against an opponent off a SU/ATS loss. And that win vs. San Antonio was more the exception than the rule, as New York had dropped its four previous games (both SU and ATS) prior to Sunday's win. Even better: the Thunder are 28-15-1 ATS their last 44 following a game in which they failed to cover by 10+ points, if their opponent covered the pointspread, itself, by 10+ points in its previous game. Take OKC. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Flyers v. Flames -133 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 57 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the Calgary Flames over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Calgary Flames' back-up goaltender Chad Johnson beat the defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins a week ago in Pittsburgh, stopping 31 of 33 shots in the process. Johnson was then rewarded with a second consecutive start on Monday in a home game which he should have felt very confident about winning after beating the Pens on the road. But as good as Johnson was in Pittsburgh, that's how bad he was Monday against a bad Coyotes team and by the time he was replaced by number one Brian Elliott, the damage had been done aS Johnson allowed four goals in just 23 shots. Elliott should be back in net for this start against a very disappointing Flyers club that is 27-29 overall and just 10-16 on the road so far. It would appear that head coach Dave Hakstol's days are numbered, especially if it becomes increasingly clear that the Flyers probably won't make the playoffs for the third time in the past five seasons. This is a team with a proud history, but recent history has not been kind to them as the Flyers haven't advanced past the first round of the post-season in five years. The home team is 4-0 in the last four meetings and the Flyers are 2-10 in their last 12 road games and 0-4 in their last four vs. teams with a losing record. Take the Flames. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Tulane +23.5 v. SMU | Top | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 17 h 33 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Tulane Green Wave + the points over SMU. The Green Wave lost by 29 to Houston in their last game. But Tulane generally rebounds off bad defeats, and especially on the road, as it's 11-3 ATS off 20-point (or worse) defeats when playing on the road. Also, underdogs of more than 19 points, off double-digit home losses, are 130-84 ATS since 1990 vs. foes off back to back wins. Take Tulane. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | North Carolina v. NC State +10.5 | Top | 97-73 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 34 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina State Wolfpack + the points over North Carolina. The Wolfpack were blown out 107-56 in Chapel Hill, in January. But we'll take NC State to avenge that embarrassing defeat, as ACC teams have cashed 78% at home over the past 26 years when playing with revenge from a 34-point (or worse) defeat earlier in the season. Take NC State. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Creighton v. Seton Hall +1.5 | Top | 81-87 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Seton Hall Pirates over Creighton. The Blue Jays are 21-4 this season, and already bested the Pirates, 89-75, back on Dec. 28. However, Seton Hall falls into a 76-25 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home teams against .876 (or better) foes off wins by 18+ points. Additionally, Seton Hall is a super 21-6 ATS as an underdog off an ATS loss. Take the Pirates |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Bucks v. Nets +5.5 | Top | 129-125 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. As the NBA teams enter this weekend's All-Star Break, a few teams, like Brooklyn, will be looking to snap losing streaks. The Nets, of course, have the league's worst losing streak, which is currently at 13 games following their 112-103 home loss to Memphis on Monday. But the good news is that .310 (or worse) teams playing their final game before the All-Star Break, are a super 15-0 ATS as home dogs of more than 2 points if they're off a home defeat in their previous game. Take Brooklyn. |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Wichita State v. Southern Illinois +14 | Top | 87-68 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 34 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis + the points over Wichita State. The Shockers won Round 1 between these two Missouri Valley rivals when they thrashed the Salukis, 87-45, back on Jan. 24. But with 42-point revenge, we'll grab the points with the home underdog tonight. Indeed, teams playing with revenge from a 32-point (or worse) loss to their opponent earlier in the season are an awesome 13-1 ATS at home when getting 6+ points, if they're also off a SU/ATS loss in their previous game. Take Southern Illinois. |
|||||||
02-14-17 | LSU +13 v. Ole Miss | Top | 76-96 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
Our selection is on the LSU Tigers. |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Coyotes v. Oilers -215 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over Arizona. The Coyotes had to play last night (a 5-0 road win vs. Calgary), while Edmonton was resting. And that extra rest should serve the Oilers well tonight. These two clubs met last month, and the Oilers won, 3-1. That bodes well for Edmonton, as Arizona is an awful 17-58 when playing with revenge from a loss by 2+ goals, including 4-18 this year. Take the Oilers. |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Islanders v. Maple Leafs -135 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the New York Islanders. It's Valentine's Day, but there's been very little love towards either one of the two teams meeting at the Air Canada Centre tonight from the rest of the league. The Isles and Leafs have virtually identical records, and that's not good for either one of these young clubs as they sit at 25-29 with less than 30 games to go. But at least the Maple Leafs are within striking distance of the top three spots in the much softer Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Both the 2016-2017 versions of the Isles and Leafs have to be considered disappointments so far as some were expecting big things from these two young and talented rosters. The two are very similar when it comes to goal-scoring as well, with each hovering right around three tallies per game on average. And while their goal defense is virtually identical this season (2.87 GA per game), the big difference is how those defenses fare at home (Toronto) and on the road (New York). The Leafs have allowed an average of 2.73 goals-per-game here at home, while the Isles have allowed over three per game (3.05) when playing away from Brooklyn. That could very well be the difference tonight as it was in the last meeting of these two here almost a year ago (a 4-3 win for Toronto). The Isles are just 7-17 in their last 24 road games while the Leafs are 5-0 in their last five when playing on two days rest. Toronto's also 10-3 at home off back-to-back home games. Take Toronto. |

02-13-17 | Clippers v. Jazz -8 | Top | 88-72 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz over the LA Clippers. Utah plays this game with revenge from a 13-point loss at Los Angeles earlier this season. But I look for the Jazz to avenge that defeat, as favorites of -8+ points, off a SU/ATS loss, are 73-32 ATS when playing with revenge against a .453 (or better) opponent off an ATS win. Take Utah to bounce back from its upset loss at home two nights ago to the Celtics. Lay the points with Utah. NBA Elite Info. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-13-17 | Celtics v. Mavs +2 | Top | 111-98 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks over the Boston Celtics. Boston comes into this game off back to back upset wins, as road underdogs (at Portland and at Utah). But now, it's been installed as a road favorite against the red-hot Dallas Mavericks -- winners of two straight, and also eight of 11. And the Mavericks are 13-3 ATS their last 16, to boot. Unfortunately for the Celtics, road favorites (or PK) have covered the spread in just 28% of their games the past 27 seasons off back to back upset road wins, if they're playing an opponent also off back to back wins! Take Dallas. NBA Roadkill Winner. Good luck as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Virginia v. Virginia Tech +7.5 | Top | 78-80 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Tech Hokies + the points over Virginia. The Hokies lost 11 days ago by 23 to the Cavaliers. But Virginia is a poor 13-43 ATS away from home if its opponent is playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Take Va Tech + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Stars v. Predators -163 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 24 m | Show |
At 6:05 pm, our selection is on the Nashville Predators over Dallas. While the Stars tend to go on streaks (more losing than winning), the Preds more often go back and forth between success and failure almost on a daily basis. The Stars broke one of those losing streaks on Saturday when they beat the Hurricanes at home in a dominating fashion, 5-2. But now they have to go on the road for the next three, and here is the real rub: Dallas is almost the worst road team in the entire league. Only the Coyotes six road wins are lower than that of the Stars (seven in 26 games). That doesn't bode well for tonight as they travel to Nashville to face a club that's was on one of those alternating won-lost streaks for eight straight games before losing to the Panthers on Saturday, which made it two defeats in a row. Another problem for the Stars has been the unavailability of C Jason Spezza, who's been out with an upper body injury. Spezza will rejoin the team today, but there's no guarantee that he'll play (and certainly no guarantee that he'll be effective if he does). The home team is 42-19-1 in the last 62 meetings of these two and the Stars are 0-5 in their last five vs. teams from the West. Take the Preds. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

02-12-17 | Oregon State +28 v. UCLA | Top | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 13 h 26 m | Show |
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Oregon State Beavers + the points over UCLA. The Bruins have won 3 straight, while the Beavers find themselves 0-12 in Pac-12 play. But Oregon State falls into a 40-7 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 5+ losses. Take the Beavers. |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Nevada v. San Diego State -3.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the San Diego State Aztecs minus the points over Nevada. The Aztecs lost as a 7-point favorite to San Jose in their last game, but that upset defeat triggered a good 159-98 ATS 'bounce-back' system of mine. Take Steve Fisher's men on this Sunday. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Oregon v. USC +3 | Top | 81-70 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 23 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Southern Cal Trojans + the points over Oregon. The Ducks come into this game of a road loss to UCLA, an dhave lost their last two road games, overall. I expect Oregon to suffer its third straight road defeat tonight, as USC is 30-6 SU and 21-13-1 ATS at home since Feb. 11, 2015. And faithful followers know I love playing on home dogs with strong home courts. I certainly won't make an exception here, as USC falls into one of my favorite "Power Home Dog" systems, which has cashed 64 of 92. Take USC. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Celtics v. Jazz -5 | Top | 112-104 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 10 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over Boston. This is a great situation to jump on Quin Snyder's Jazz tonight. Utah is off an upset loss to the Dallas Mavericks, on Thursday, while Boston is off an upset win, at Portland. But Utah is 48-24 ATS since 1990 at home, if it's off a SU/ATS loss, and its opponent is off a SU/ATS win, and both are winning teams. Also, Utah falls into a 68% ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off exactly 1 loss when playing an opponent off exactly 1 win. Finally, the Jazz have cashed 69.2% the past 27 seasons at home vs. non-conference foes, if Utah's off an upset loss, and their opponent is playing back to back road games. Take Utah. NBA Roadkill. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-11-17 | Gonzaga v. St. Mary's +4.5 | Top | 74-64 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the St Mary's Gaels + the points over Gonzaga. St. Mary's plays with revenge from a 23-point loss at Gonzaga earlier this season. And the Gaels are also a stellar 22-2 on the season. It's never a wise move to lay points on the road vs. a great team. Indeed, since Jan 13, 2004, teams with an .888 (or better) win percentage (at Game 14 forward) have cashed 80% as home underdogs, including 100% when playing with same-season revenge, and a staggering 14-0 ATS when matched up against a foe off an ATS win! Take St. Mary's + the points. NCAA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Towson v. Drexel +3 | Top | 69-65 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 54 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Drexel Dragons + the points over Towson St. The Dragons were extremely competitive in defeat nine days ago at Towson, as they lost 104-103, as a 12-point dog. Still, Drexel rewarded its backers in Las Vegas with a win, and it's now covered its last 3 games. Meanwhile, Towson's riding a 4-game ATS losing streak. It's true that I often will play on teams on ATS losing streaks, but this is not one of those times. Indeed, I love the red-hot Dragons as a home underdog. For technical support, consider that home dogs off a SU win and 3 ATS wins are 272-215 ATS vs. conference foes that have both a winning record, and a winning conference record. Take Drexel. |

02-11-17 | Villanova v. Xavier +6 | Top | 73-57 | Loss | -102 | 2 h 44 m | Show |
At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Xavier Musketeers. Xavier lost at Villanova earlier this year, but is 85-55 ATS since 1995 as a revenger, including 6-2 ATS as a home dog. Payback Payday. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Penn State v. Illinois -5 | Top | 83-70 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
At 2 pm, our selection is on the Illinois Illini minus the points over Penn St. The Illini lost, 71-67, at Penn State two weeks ago. But I love the Illini to exact revenge on Saturday afternoon, as they fall into a 113-45 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites against foes off a win. Also, Penn State upset a very good Maryland team on Tuesday, but now fall into a negative 33% ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off upset wins over .834 (or better) foes. Take Illinois. |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Heat v. Nets +7 | Top | 108-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 7 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Miami. These two teams met 11 days ago in South Beach, and the Heat came away with a 104-96 win. We actually played on the Nets in that game, and released our selection at the Opening line of +9. The line closed, though, at +7.5, and the Heat won by 8. So, against closing numbers, the Heat are currently on a 12-game pointspread win streak. And they've also won their last 12 games, straight-up. It's true that the Nets have lost their last 11 games. But they've been very competitive, for the most part, in those 11 games. Only their 20-point loss at Minnesota and their 26-point loss to the Spurs were games that the Nets failed to cover by 3 or more points. And in their last game, Brooklyn showed a lot of heart by taking one of the league's hottest teams -- the Washington Wizards -- to overtime, before falling 114-110 (but covering as a double-digit underdog). Interestingly, the pointspread on this game, which is in Brooklyn, is within a point of what the pointspread closed at just 11 days ago (7.5 points), yet that game was at Miami. All things being equal, we would expect a swing of, roughly 6 points, to account for home court advantage, but we're not getting that here. That illustrates how much value we are getting with Brooklyn, and it's primarily because of the two teams' respective streaks. Finally, this season, home dogs off back to back losses, that are playing with revenge from a defeat earlier in the season, are 26-10 ATS. Take Brooklyn. NBA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-10-17 | Columbia v. Pennsylvania -4 | Top | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Pennsylvania Quakers minus the points over Columbia. The Quakers come into tonight's game off 3 SU/ATS losses. But Penn is a solid 39-20-2 ATS its last 61 off 3+ losses, including 8-1-1 ATS when priced as a favorite of -4 points or less. And Ivy League teams off 3 SU/ATS losses have cashed 69% the past 25 years as single-digit favorites against foes off a win. Take Penn minus the points. NCAA High Roller. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-09-17 | Oregon State +18 v. USC | Top | 66-92 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 31 m | Show |
At 11 pm, our selection is on the Oregon State Beavers + the points over USC. The Trojans are 20-4 on the season, and have already defeated the 4-20 Beavers at Corvallis in late December, 70-63. But I look for USC to struggle tonight, as revenge-minded Pac-12 teams, off 3+ losses and 2+ ATS losses, have gone 31-8 ATS in Conference games vs. .721 (or better) foes. Take Oregon State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-09-17 | Portland +23.5 v. St. Mary's | Top | 41-51 | Win | 100 | 18 h 31 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Pilots + the points over St. Mary's. Portland lost earlier this season by 41 to the Gaels, but we'll grab the points in the rematch, as West Coast Conference teams have cashed 64.2% ATS as road underdogs the past 18 years when playing with revenge from a 25-point (or worse) defeat earlier in the season. Take Portland. |

02-09-17 | Penguins -203 v. Avalanche | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Penguins over Colorado. The Pens lost at home to Calgary on Tuesday, which snapped their 3-game win streak. But I look for Pittsburgh to bounce back tonight, as it is 41-19 its last 60 (+14 games on the moneyline) off a loss, while Colorado is a poor 1-9 after scoring more than 3 goals in back to back games. Take the Penguins. |

02-09-17 | Canadiens -160 v. Coyotes | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Montreal Canadiens over Arizona. Montreal's on a 4-game losing streak, so it will surely be happy to pay a visit to the Coyotes tonight. These two teams met earlier this season, and Montreal blew out Arizona, 5-2. The Coyotes are a miserable 0-16 this season when playing with revenge from a defeat earlier in the season in which they gave up more than 3 goals! Meanwhile, Montreal is a solid 39-25 off 4+ losses. Take the Canadiens to snap their losing streak tonight. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-09-17 | SMU v. Temple +6.5 | Top | 66-50 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 7 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Temple Owls + the points over SMU. Temple will be at home tonight, and that bodes well for Fran Dunphy's men, as they're 48-11-1 ATS at home over the past 12 seasons when when priced from +8 to -5 points (including 10-1 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season). With Temple looking to avenge its 14-point loss in Dallas to the Mustangs, in January, we'll grab the points with the home underdog Owls tonight. NCAA Roadkill. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 8 pm, our selection is on the OKC Thunder minus the points over Cleveland. The Cavs blew out Indiana, 132-117, last night, while OKC had Wednesday off. We'll lay the points with Russell Westbrook & Co., as OKC is 17-0 ATS since 2004 at home, when rested, favored by 6+ points, and playing with revenge against a .340 (or better) foe off a win/cover which defeated the Thunder earlier in the regular season. Take OKC. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Youngstown State Penguins over Illinois Chicago. The Flames come into this game off an upset win at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 105-100, as a 2-point dog. Meanwhile, the Penguins are off an upset loss, at home, vs. Detroit. But we'll step in and take the points with Youngstown, as Horizon League underdogs off upset losses have cashed 76.2% the past 16 regular seasons vs. foes off upset wins. Take Youngstown. |

02-09-17 | Islanders v. Flyers -121 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -121 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Flyers over the New York Islanders. Both of these teams have been off since Monday and they couldn't have had more different games - or outcomes - in their previous contests. The Islanders played perhaps their most exciting game of the season, falling behind the Maple Leafs by a 5-4 margin with just two minutes to go in the game before scoring the equalizer just 30 seconds later to send it to overtime. Then the Isles sealed it in the overtime to the delight of the sellout crowd in Brooklyn. The Flyers, meanwhile, displayed one of the most lackluster performances of the season, falling to the Blues by a 2-0 margin here at home. If there was a bright spot in that loss, it is probably that Philly only allowed St. Louis 16 shots on goal the entire game. Despite their struggles this season, the Flyers defense at home has been solid, allowing an average of just 2.64 goals per game here at the Wells Fargo Center. The Isles, meanwhile, have allowed more shots on goal per game on the road this season (35.0 average) than any other team in the league. The Islanders are 12-39 in the last 51 meetings. Take the Flyers. |

02-09-17 | North Texas +7 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on North Texas + the points over Florida Atlantic, as North Texas falls into a 178-86 ATS system of mine (as well as a 17-0 ATS subset in that general system). The Owls come into this game off 3 straight road wins -- all upsets -- over Florida International, Charlotte and Old Dominion. Meanwhile, North Texas has dropped its last 11 games to fall to 6-16 on the season, and 7-9 ATS. But I look for a massive letdown by Florida Atlantic tonight vs. the Mean Green, as favorites of 12 or less points, off 3 upset wins, are a poor 31% ATS the past 27 years vs. foes off 3+ losses. Even worse: .411 (or worse) teams off 3 upset wins have cashed just 11% vs. foes that also have a .411 (or worse) W/L percentage. Finally, the Owls are a horrid 3-22 ATS as a favorite of more than 3 points vs. foes that have a losing ATS record on the season (and 0-9 ATS when laying 7+ points). Take North Texas. Conference USA Game of the Year. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-08-17 | Bulls v. Warriors -13.5 | Top | 92-123 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Chicago. The Warriors have been off for the last 3 days, so we'll back the well-rested juggernaut on Wednesday. Golden State is 36-18-3 ATS its last 57 regular season games when playing with at least the previous 2 days off. Take the Warriors. |
|||||||
02-08-17 | UC-Santa Barbara v. UC-Irvine -15.5 | Top | 47-64 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Cal Irvine Anteaters (rotation #574) minus the points over UCSB. Cal Irvine is off three straight upset losses, but gets a breather tonight against the 3-18 Gauchos. And, unfortunately for UCSB, .311 (or worse) teams are 0-14 ATS away from home vs. foes off 3 straight upset losses, if they're getting 9+ points in the game. Take Cal Irvine. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-08-17 | VCU v. George Washington +6 | Top | 54-53 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the George Washington Colonials (rotation #568) plus the points over VCU. GW has a strong home court with 53 wins in its last 61 home games (and it's 3-1 ATS as a home underdog in this stretch). We'll take the Colonials + the points tonight, as they fall into a 71% ATS system of mine which plays on certain winning teams, off back to back losses, that are playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. Take George Washington. |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Blackhawks v. Wild UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -123 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild 'under' the total. Looking at who's on top in each conference - Washington and Minnesota - one statistic stands out. These two teams have the best goals-against in the league this season in home games. The Caps allow just 1.63 GAA in DC while the Wild is not far behind at 2.00 GA in 23 games here at the Xcel Energy Center. Minnesota will be counting on that defense and goaltending tonight in a crucial game against the division rivals Blackhawks. The last time these two teams met here was almost a year ago (March 2016) and a total of just 37 shots on goal were fired by both teams in that one (19 for the Hawks and 18 for the Wild). While that likely won't be duplicated tonight, you can certainly expect both goalies to bring their "A" games. 30-year-old Devan Dubnyk has been having a Vezina Trophy worthy season with a 1.99 GAA and league-leading 28 victories. But the Wild's backup, Darcy Kuemper has also been solid when called upon, so no matter who they go with tonight it's likely the goals will be few and far between for the Hawks. The under is 5-1-1 in the Blackhawks last seven games coming off of three or more days of rest. And the under is also 15-4-2 in Wild's last 21 home games following a road trip of seven or more days. Take the 'under.' NHL Total of the Week. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

02-08-17 | Heat v. Bucks -3 | Top | 106-88 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Miami. Miami's won and covered 11 straight. But road dogs of more than 2 points off five straight wins and covers have covered just 61 of 143 regular season games since 1990. Take Milwaukee. |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Spurs -8 v. 76ers | Top | 111-103 | Push | 0 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Philadelphia. We played against the Spurs on Monday and got the $$$$ with Memphis. Of course, it didn't hurt our cause that the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard didn't play due to a quad contusion. But he's going to play tonight, and we'll lay the points with the Silver and Black. San Antonio is a solid 28-15 ATS as a road favorite of -4+ points off a double-digit loss. Take the Spurs. |
|||||||
02-08-17 | South Dakota v. IUPU Ft Wayne -6.5 | Top | 93-82 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on Fort Wayne (rotation #584) minus the points over South Dakota, as the Coyotes fall into a negative 39-113 ATS system of mine after their upset win at North Dakota State, on Saturday. Also, Fort Wayne is 31-12-1 ATS its last 44 home games, including 17-2 ATS with revenge. The Mastodons lost at South Dakota on January 14, 66-63, so we'll lay the points with Fort Wayne on Wednesday. |
|||||||
02-07-17 | Illinois +6 v. Northwestern | Top | 68-61 | Win | 100 | 14 h 4 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Illinois Illini + the points over Northwestern. We played against Illinois on Saturday, and got the $$$ with Minnesota, which defeated Illinois, 68-59, as a 1.5-point favorite. That was Illinois' 3rd straight loss (both SU and ATS), but I love Illinois to rebound at Northwestern, tonight. The Illini have dominated the Wildcats, here, in Evanston, as they're 14-5 SU/ATS since 1995, including a perfect 4-0 ATS as an underdog. Additionally, Illinois is an awesome 91-50 ATS off a conference loss, if it was an underdog in that previous game. Finally, Northwestern will be without Scottie Lindsey tonight. He averages 15.36 ppg, 4.27 rpg, and 1.18 steals, so his production will be difficult for Northwestern to replace. Take Illinois. NCAA HIGH ROLLER WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-07-17 | Syracuse v. Clemson -3.5 | Top | 82-81 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Clemson Tigers minus the points over Syracuse. Clemson was blasted, 109-61, by Florida State, in Tallahassee, on Saturday. But I look for the Tigers to rebound at home, tonight, vs. a Syracuse squad which upset Virginia, 66-62, at home in its last game. Since 1990, Clemson is a fantastic 26-7 ATS as a favorite off a double-digit loss, if they also lost ATS in that defeat, and are now playing at home, or on a neutral court. Even better: if Clemson is matched up against an ACC Conference foe with a winning Conference record, then our 26-7 stat zooms to a perfect 6-0 ATS. Finally, Clemson falls into a 134-65 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams in conference games off losses. Take the Tigers. ACC Conference Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-06-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +3 | Top | 74-89 | Win | 100 | 21 h 29 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over the San Antonio Spurs. These two teams met in last year's Playoffs, and the Grizz were swept out of the post-season by their Southwest Division rivals. Yes, San Antonio has won nine straight in this series, but the Spurs fall into a negative 24-48 ATS system of mine. What we want to do is play against any 545 (or better) teams, playing a division foe with revenge from a playoff series loss. Additionally, the Grizzlies also fall into 98-70, 74-47 and 22-2 ATS revenge angles. Take Memphis. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-06-17 | Heat v. Wolves -1 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 46 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat blew out the 76ers, 125-102, on Saturday for their 10th straight win (both SU and ATS). And the craziest thing about this hot streak is that it would have been impossible to see it coming. Indeed, the Heat were 11-30 (.268) prior to ripping off their 10 wins. The last time anything even remotely close to this happened, where a bad team went on an extended win streak, was two seasons ago, when the 5-23 (.178) Pistons went on a 7-0 SU/ATS streak. And, then, in 2005, the 22-46 (.323) Warriors won eight in a row (6-2 ATS). But no team this bad has ever won 10 in a row, not to mention 10 straight ATS wins, too. Also, Miami didn't compile this streak only against cupcakes. They beat, arguably, the best team in NBA history, Golden State, and also knocked off Houston and Atlanta. This week, the Heat will hit the road for games at Minnesota (tonight), Milwaukee, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. I fully expect Miami's win streak to be snapped by the Timberwolves, as NBA teams off back-to-back wins are a poor 37-62 ATS their last 99, if they scored 117+ points in their previous game, and they're matched up against a foe off a loss. Additionally, the Timberwolves fall into 144-93, 50-15, and 27-7 ATS systems. Take Minnesota. NBA Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-06-17 | Maple Leafs v. Islanders -120 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 40 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the NY Islanders over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto's finishing up a 6-game road trip, while the Islanders are playing at home for their second consecutive game. And the Leafs are a poor 20-36 off back to back road games (and 3-8 off 4+ road games). Meanwhile, the Islanders are off back to back 5-4 defeats. But they're a solid 39-26 off two games where they gave up 3+ goals, and they're also 28-19 off back to back losses. Take New York. NHL High Roller. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-05-17 | Patriots -3 v. Falcons | Top | 34-28 | Win | 100 | 327 h 54 m | Show |
At 6:30 pm, on Sunday Feb. 5, our selection is on the New England Patriots over the Atlanta Falcons. We played on the Patriots vs. the Steelers as our NFL Game of the Year, and that play was largely motivated by New England's vastly superior defense (it was 4.08 ppg better than the Steelers' defense). Well, here, the gap between the Patriots' defense and the Falcons' defense is much larger than that. New England's given up just 15.72 ppg, while Atlanta's surrendered an ungodly (for a Playoff team) 24.83 ppg. That doesn't bode well for Atlanta, as underdogs have covered just 3 of 15 Super Bowls since 1984 if matched up against a foe whose defense gives up less than 16.32 ppg. And, yes, it's absolutely true that the Falcons have a fantastic offense. They put up 44 points in their last game, and have scored 33+ points in each of their past six games, and average 34.44 ppg on the season. Unfortunately for the Falcons, teams off a Playoff win, in which they scored more than 40 points, have gone 0-13 ATS if they also scored more than 100 points in their three previous games, and give up, on defense, at least 15 ppg. It's often said that 'defense wins championships.' And that's because we've seen great offenses flounder countless times on the biggest stage. Indeed, there have been four teams that averaged at least 32.7 ppg to make the Super Bowl, and none has won or covered its game, or even scored 17+ points! The Redskins lost 38-9 to Oakland; Dan Marino's Dolphins fell, 38-16, to the 49ers; the undefeated, 18-0, Patriots lost 17-14 to the Giants; and Peyton Manning's Broncos (arguably the best offense, ever) lost 43-8 to Seattle. Combined, those 4 offensive juggernauts failed to cover the spread by an average of 20.6 ppg in the Super Bowl! New England's now won nine straight games (8-1 ATS), and has given up more than 17 points just once (vs. Baltimore) in those nine games! But even that game vs. the Ravens, in which New England gave up 23 points, must be assigned an asterisk, as 14 of the Ravens' 23 points were gifted to them on the heels of two fumbles by Patriot kick returners. Until those two fumbles -- on back to back kickoffs -- the Pats had a 23-3 lead. Baltimore's offense had been completely shut down by New England, so, without those two gaffes, Baltimore likely would have had just 3 points thru three quarters. Finally -- and this is not a knock on Dan Quinn and Kyle Shanahan -- there's just not a better coaching staff in football than the Patriots' staff (HC Bill Belichick, OC Josh McDaniels, DC Matt Patricia). And if you give Belichick & Co. an extra week to prepare, then you can rest assured they'll have a great game plan in place. To wit: New England's 27-9 SU when working with an extra week under Belichick, including 8-3-1 ATS its last 12 when not favored by 7+ points. Take the Patriots. NFL Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-05-17 | Blazers +4.5 v. Thunder | Top | 99-105 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 24 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers + the points over Oklahoma City. The Blazers were upset at home, 108-104, by Dallas on Friday night, while OKC blew out Memphis, as a 1-point underdog, 114-102. But we'll look for a reversal of fortune on this Sunday, as NBA Road teams, off a SU/ATS loss, are 167-111 ATS vs. foes off an upset win, if our road team isn't getting 6.5 or more points. Even better: the Blazers are 11-3 ATS their last 14 vs. foes off an upset win, and they're also 9-3 ATS on the road if they were upset in their previous game. Take Portland. NBA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-05-17 | South Florida +15 v. Temple | Top | 74-83 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the South Florida Bulls + the points over Temple. The Owls come into this game off a 79-71 win at Tulane, as an 8-point road favorite, and have gone 5-8-2 ATS their last 15 games. The Owls are back home this afternoon, and have been installed as a double-digit home favorite, but that's not good news for them. Indeed, since Dec. 18, 2010, Temple's an atrocious 2-20-1 ATS at home vs. .590 (or worse) foes, if Temple's favored by more than 10 points. That doesn't bode well for the Owls on Sunday. And neither does the fact that South Florida falls into a 177-86 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams with losing records in conference games. Finally, over the past 24 seasons, the Bulls are a super 35-10 ATS as conference road dogs of +12 or more points in the regular season when they've had a losing record, including 20-0 ATS their last 20 when their opponent didn't cover the pointspread in its previous game. Take South Florida. NCAA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-04-17 | Santa Clara +22.5 v. Gonzaga | Top | 55-90 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 27 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Santa Clara Broncos (rotation #703) + the points over Gonzaga. Santa Clara lost by 31 points at home to Gonzaga in January. But the Broncos are 12-3 ATS vs. conference foes when playing with revenge from a loss by more than 25 points. And they also fall into a 161-101 ATS revenge system of mine which plays on certain teams that lost by 25+ points earlier in the season. Finally, Gonzaga's 23-0 record has set it up in negative 39-92 and 98-172 ATS systems of mine. Take Santa Clara. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Appalachian State +12 v. Arkansas State | Top | 78-79 | Win | 100 | 19 h 29 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on Appalachian St (rotation #665) + the points over Arkansas St. The Mountaineers have lost their last five games (and last 3 ATS), while the Red Wolves are the mirror opposite, with 5 straight wins (and 3-0 ATS their last 3). Not surprisingly, in a situation like this, it's the 'cold' team that generally gets the cash (64% ATS the past 27 years). Indeed, we saw this exact situation just nine days ago and had our Big West Game of the Year on Cal Poly SLO in its upset of Cal Irvine as a 13-point dog. The Mountaineers are 14-4 ATS off 5+ losses, and we'll grab the points tonight. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Delaware v. NC-Wilmington -20 | Top | 80-108 | Win | 100 | 18 h 30 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the NC Wilmington Seahawks (rotation #658) minus the points over Delaware. The Seahawks are off back to back SU/ATS losses. But we'll lay the lumber with Kevin Keatts' men tonight, as home favorites of -19 or more points are 68% ATS over the past 27 seasons off back to back SU/ATS losses, if they're playing a conference foe off a loss. Take Wilmington. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | St. Mary's v. San Diego +15.5 | Top | 71-27 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 28 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Toreros (rotation #636) + the points over St Mary's. These two teams met on New Year's Eve, and the Gaels won, 72-60, as a 22-point home favorite. I expect another closer-than-expected game tonight, as St Mary's falls into a negative 67-133 ATS system of mine. That angle fades certain road favorites with exceptional records. The Gaels are 20-2 on the season, so their record certainly would qualify as 'exceptional.' And, for all of the Gaels' success under Randy Bennett, they've certainly burned money as a big favorite vs. conference rivals, as they're 4-22 ATS when laying 14+ points. Take San Diego. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Minnesota +1 v. Illinois | Top | 68-59 | Win | 100 | 16 h 32 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Golden Gophers over Illinois. The Gophers lost to the Illini in last year's Big 10 Conference Tourney by an 85-52 score. But they're a solid 83% over the past 27 regular seasons when playing with revenge from a loss by more than 25 points. That bodes well for Minnesota this afternoon. As does the fact that Illinois is an atrocious 11-28 ATS vs. foes off 2 SU/ATS losses. Finally, the Gophers fall into a 65-28 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 4+ losses. Take Minnesota. Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | NC-Greensboro +3 v. Samford | Top | 81-75 | Win | 100 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the NC Greensboro Spartans (rotation #711) + the points over Samford. The Spartans have lost 3 straight, and five straight ATS. But their losing streaks sets them up in several of my systems, with records of 139-61, 67-31, 25-6, and 95-36 ATS. Moreover, the Spartans have excelled in conference play off 3+ losses, as they've gone 27-9 ATS, while Samford is a horrid 20-37 ATS as a home favorite vs. foes off a loss. Take Greensboro + the points. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Missouri State v. Evansville +1 | Top | 66-74 | Win | 102 | 1 h 47 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Evansville Purple Aces over Missouri State. The Aces have dropped 9 in a row, but we'll take them at home this afternoon vs. the Bears, who snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 1-point home win this past Tuesday. Evansville plays with revenge from a 4-point loss to Missouri St on Jan. 11. And Missouri Valley teams are 157-104 ATS at home vs. foes not off back to back wins, if our home team lost the season's previous meeting, and doesn't have a winning record, either in conference play, or overall. Even worse for Missouri St.: It's just 19-34 ATS off a home win. Take Evansville. NCAA Roadkill Winner! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-04-17 | Valparaiso v. Green Bay +5.5 | Top | 69-86 | Win | 100 | 1 h 26 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on Wisconsin Green Bay + the points over Valparaiso. The Crusaders have won 8 in a row, including a 24-point victory over the Phoenix back on January 16. But Green Bay is an awesome 42-12 ATS if it lost its previous meeting to its opponent by more than 12 points, including 17-2 ATS if Green Bay failed to cover the spread in its previous game! Take the Phoenix. PAYBACK PAYDAY! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

02-03-17 | Islanders v. Red Wings -109 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Red Wings over the NY Islanders. Mired in last place in the Eastern Conference (and 28th of 30 teams, overall), the Red Wings' streak of 25 consecutive playoff appearances will likely end this season. They're currently on a 5-game losing streak, but only two of those five defeats were in regulation. I like them tonight to get back into the win column. Detroit's 67% the past 3 seasons off back to back home losses, and also 63% off 4+ losses. Meanwhile, the Islanders are a poor 40-75 off 3+ wins (including 0-3 this season). Take Detroit. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-02-17 | Gonzaga v. BYU +8.5 | Top | 85-75 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 32 m | Show |
At 11 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars + the points over Gonzaga. Home courts don't get much stronger than that of the Cougars. BYU has won 10 straight at home (6-3 ATS), and has won 36 of its last 39 at the Marriott Center (21-11 ATS). BYU also plays with revenge tonight from a 4-point loss to Gonzaga in last year's West Coast Conference Tournament. And one of the things I love to do is play on home dogs with strong home courts (wins in at least 35 of their last 40 home games), if they have a winning conference record, and are playing with revenge from a conference tournament defeat. Since 1995, our home teams have gone 21-4 ATS, including a perfect 10-0 ATS when catching 3+ points. Take BYU. West Coast Conf. Game of the Year. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-02-17 | UC-Davis v. Cal Poly -1 | Top | 70-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 51 m | Show |
At 11 pm, our selection is on the Cal Poly SLO Mustangs over Cal Davis. The Mustangs are 1-6 in Big West Conference play this season, yet find themselves favored over Cal Davis, which is 5-1. The knee jerk reaction might be to play against Cal Poly SLO, but I wouldn't do that if I were you. Indeed, since 1990, NCAA teams with a much worse conference win percentage than their opponent (at least .400 percentage points worse) have covered 60.2% of the time when favored (or PK), if our favored team didn't own more than 1 win in Conference play on the season (with at least 6 conference games under its belt). Take Cal Poly SLO. NCAA High Roller. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
02-02-17 | Warriors v. Clippers +8 | Top | 133-120 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers + the points over Golden State. The Clippers were annihilated by Golden State, 144-98, on Saturday. But I look for Doc Rivers' crew to get a measure of "payback" tonight. It's certainly true that the Warriors are the league's best team. And I'm even on record as saying that I believe they'll go 16-0 in the Playoffs. Still, for all of their success, they actually have a losing pointspread record this season, as they're 23-24-2 ATS. So, I have no problem grabbing the points with Los Angeles, as underdogs playing with revenge from a 44-point (or worse) defeat earlier in the year are 10-0, 100% ATS since 1990 vs. foes that have a losing ATS record. Take Los Angeles. NBA Roadkill Play. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
