01-09-18 | Southern Illinois +6.5 v. Bradley | Top | 62-68 | Win | 100 | 15 h 20 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis + the points over Bradley. Southern Illinois is on a 3-game ATS losing streak, but it's a fantastic 38-23 ATS as underdogs of less than 8 points (or PK) off back to back ATS losses. Take the points with Southern Illinois. |

01-09-18 | Western Michigan v. Toledo -5 | Top | 61-84 | Win | 100 | 14 h 21 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over Western Michigan. The Broncos come into this game off 4 straight wins (3-0 ATS), but will be hard-pressed to earn their fifth straight victory. Toledo is a solid 23-13 ATS at home in Conference games, if it's off a point spread defeat, and its opponent is off back to back wins. Take Toledo minus the points. |

01-08-18 | Alabama -4.5 v. Georgia | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -107 | 161 h 29 m | Show |
At 8:45 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide minus the points over Georgia. Back in late November, I recommended a futures wager on the Crimson Tide +425 to win the National Championship, as I thought it was the best team in the country, and I had no doubt it would be eventually selected for the Playoffs ahead of the team which would win the Ohio State/Wisconsin game. The Crimson Tide easily blew out the team (Clemson) which ranked #2 in my power ratings, and now they'll face a very solid Georgia ballclub. But, as I wrote in my analysis last week for the 'Bama/Clemson game, Nick Saban (along with Urban Meyer) is one of the two best coaches in College Football. And he excels in competitively-priced games, with point spreads less than five points. In that situation, he's a fantastic 36-17 SU/ATS, including a PERFECT 8-0 SU/ATS in the Post-Season! That bodes well for the Crimson Tide in this Championship game. As does the fact that the Tide has won the last three meetings vs. the Bulldogs, by an average of 14.33 ppg. Finally, the Tide has the best scoring defense in the country, as it gives up just 11 ppg. And, since 1989, favorites of -10 or less points have cashed 64.5% in the Bowls (including a perfect 4-0 this season) if they don't give up more than 19 ppg, and their defense is at least 4.5 points better than their opponent's defense. Take Alabama. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

01-07-18 | Lightning -153 v. Red Wings | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over Detroit. The Red Wings have won four straight, but will be without their #1 goalie, Jimmy Howard, tonight, as he sustained a lower-body injury. Petr Mrazek will get the start for the Wings. But he's been largely ineffective, with a 3-4-1 record, an .892 save percentage., and a 3.64 goals-against-average (a full 1 goal per game worse than Howard's GAA). The Wings and Lightning have already met twice this season, and Tampa extended its dominant run over Detroit with wins by identical 3-2 scores. Dating back to 2016, Tampa's won 13 of 14 meetings, including the last nine in a row! That doesn't bode well for the Red Wings this evening. Nor will it help matters that the Lighning lost their second straight game last night -- by a 6-3 score to Ottawa. However, the Lightning are still an impressive 9-4 off back to back road losses, and 41-23 after allowing more than three goals in their previous game. Take Tampa Bay. Elite Info Winner! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Michigan State v. Ohio State +8.5 | Top | 64-80 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes + the points over Michigan State. The Buckeyes have dominated opponents here, at home, in Value City Arena, as they've gone 225-32 SU and 120-99 ATS since 2004, including 28-15 ATS when playing with revenge vs. a Big 10 Conference foe (Ohio State lost, 74-66, in the previous meeting). Additionally, this will be just the 2nd road game of the season for Michigan State, which has played 15 of its 16 games at home, or on neutral courts. And in MSU's only other road game this season, they failed to cover at Rutgers, when they won by 10, as a 14.5-point favorite. Even worse: the Spartans are an awful 0-7 ATS their last seven road games off a double-digit conference win. Take Ohio State. NCAA Hoops High Roller Winner! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Bills v. Jaguars -8 | 3-10 | Loss | -103 | 130 h 14 m | Show | |
At 1 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Jacksonville Jaguars minus the points over the Buffalo Bills. The Jaguars come into this game off back to back losses at San Francisco (44-33), and at Tennessee (15-10). But the Jaguars are now back home, where they have won five straight games, by an average of 16.6 ppg. One of the things I love to do when betting NFL Playoffs is take teams with great defenses. This season, the Jags owned the AFC's best defense, as they gave up just 16.75 ppg. And home teams with a scoring defense at least 5 ppg better than their opponent have cashed 59.1% in the Playoffs since 1980. Additionally, NFL Favorites of -3.5 (or more) points are an awesome 12-0 SU/ATS since 1991 off back to back losses! Finally, the Jaguars also fall into 87-30, 29-0 and 60-22 ATS Playoff Systems of mine. Take the Jaguars. 5* NFL Game of the Year! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Temple +4 v. UCF | Top | 39-60 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Temple Owls + the points over Central Florida, as Temple falls into 494-340, 377-237 and 322-188 ATS systems of mine. The Knights come into this afternoon's game off back to back wins/covers, while Temple is off back to back losses. Unfortunately, since 1990, the Knights have covered just 33% off back to back SU/ATS wins vs. foes off back to back losses. Meanwhile, Temple's a powerful 123-90-3 ATS on the road vs. Conference foes, including 70% ATS off back to back losses. Take the Owls. NCAA Hoops High Noon Hanging! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Kentucky v. Tennessee -2.5 | Top | 65-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Kentucky. The Volunteers come into this home game, in Knoxville, off back to back losses to start their SEC season. The good news, however, is that they are 10-0 ATS vs. Kentucky if the Volunteers lost their two previous games, and are not favored by 4+ points. And Tennessee also falls into a 106-49 ATS angle of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back losses. Finally, Kentucky is an dreadful 0-7 ATS its last 7 as road underdogs. Take Tennessee. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Falcons v. Rams -6 | Top | 26-13 | Loss | -120 | 87 h 36 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams minus the points over Atlanta. It's true that the Rams have not made the Playoffs in 13 years, while the Falcons reached the Super Bowl last season. But I believe Playoff "experience" is vastly over-rated. Instead, I prefer to back the much better team. And that's surely the Los Angeles Rams. LA had a better W/L record (11-5), a better ATS win percentage (.562), a better scoring margin (+6.93), and a better point spread differential (+8.90). The most significant difference was on the offensive side of the ball, as LA scored 29.8 ppg, while Atlanta managed to score just 22.0 ppg. And NFL home teams have cashed 63% in the Playoffs over the last 34 years if they weren't favored by 8+ points, and they averaged at least 27.3 ppg. Moreover, notwithstanding its post-season success last year, Atlanta's still a money-burning 6-14 ATS in the Playoffs its last 20, including 1-9 ATS off a SU/ATS win. Take the Rams. NFL High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Rangers -160 v. Coyotes | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Rangers over Arizona. The Coyotes earned a rare win in their last game but they'll be hard-pressed to win two-in-a-row, especially against a Rangers squad which is coming off a home upset loss to the Blackhawks. And New York is a super 32-14 its last 46 off a home loss. Even worse: the Rangers already blew out Arizona, 5-2, earlier this season. And Arizona is a miserable 23-82 its last 105 when playing with revenge from a loss by 2+ goals. Dating back to 2014, the Coyotes have lost eight straight games to the Rangers in this series. Take New York. NHL Road Warrior. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Lightning -190 v. Senators | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -190 | 16 h 56 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Ottawa Senators. There's no mystery who the best team has been in the first half of the season. The Lightning have the leading point-and-goal producer (Nikita Kucherov), +/- player (Steven Stamkos), best goalie (Andrei Vasilevskiy) and, not surprisingly as a result, the best record in hockey. And if they don't freeze to death getting off the plane in Ottawa (it was minus 23 degrees last night), then this should be another one in the win column for them. Somehow, the Senators managed to come back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Sharks last night, quite a rarity for them this season. The victory was just their second in their last eight games and it doesn't bode well for them this evening as the 'Nats are 2-8 in their last 10 games following a victory. The fact that they are visitors tonight shouldn't matter to the Lightning, as they have been almost as good in other arenas as their own, going 20-8 in their last 28 road games. Because of back-to-back games, Mike Condon should be in goal for Ottawa and he has just one win in his last six decisions, while allowing nine goals in his last two starts. Take Tampa. NHL HIGH ROLLER WINNER. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Central Michigan v. Kent State +1 | Top | 69-85 | Win | 102 | 16 h 49 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Kent State Golden Flashes over Central Michigan. The Chippeawas smashed Ohio, 75-50, to open Mid-American Conference play, while the Golden Flashes were blown out, 75-61, in their conference opener, at Northern Illinois, on Tuesday. But I love them to bounce back this evening, as Kent State is 42-11 ATS at home vs. conference foes off a win, if Kent State lost to a conference foe in its previous game. And the Golden Flashes also fall into a 78-25 ATS system of mine, which fades certain teams (like Central Michigan) off blowout wins. Take Kent State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Titans v. Chiefs -8.5 | Top | 22-21 | Loss | -105 | 83 h 2 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Kansas City Chiefs minus the points over Tennessee. The Chiefs' roller-coaster season was bookended with 5 SU/ATS wins at the front, and 4 SU/ATS wins at the end (with a 1-6 SU/ATS stretch in the middle). I look for them to annihilate the Titans, as Tennessee enters the Playoffs with the 2nd-worst scoring defense of all the Playoff teams. And Playoff road underdogs of 7+ points, that give up 21.75 (or more) points per game, have covered just 25 percent since 1984! Even worse: the Titans defeated Jacksonville, 15-10, last week at home. But the Titans are an awful 1-15 ATS off a home win by more than three points! Take Kansas City. NFL Elite Info Winner! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Mississippi State v. Ole Miss -3 | Top | 58-64 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Rebels minus the points over Mississippi State. The Rebels enter this afternoon's home game off a 71-60 loss to Georgia, on Wednesday. However, since 1995, the Rebels are 49-26-1 their last 76 home games off a loss, if priced as a single-digit favorite (or PK), including 9-0 ATS since 2015. And Mississippi also falls into a 92-48 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off losses vs. foes off wins. Lay the points with Mississippi. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Kansas State +10 v. Texas Tech | Top | 58-74 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Kansas State Wildcats + the points over Texas Tech. The Red Raiders pulled off a huge upset, 85-73, at Kansas on Tuesday. Unfortunately, that upset win has triggered a negative 30-74 ATS system of mine which goes against Texas Tech this afternoon. Moreover, Texas Tech is an awful 27-48 ATS since 1992 off an upset win, while Kansas State is a solid 20-10 ATS vs. conference foes off an upset win, including a perfect 6-0 if its opponent is off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take the Wildcats + the points. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Bradley v. Evansville -1 | Top | 44-68 | Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Evansville Purple Aces over Bradley. The Aces are on a 4-game losing streak, while Bradley has won its last two games, but I love the Aces to bounce back at home on Saturday. Evansville falls into a 132-55 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites off SU losses. Meanwhile, the Braves are a horrid 66-105 ATS away from home off an ATS win, if they're not laying more than 3 points. Take Evansville. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Rhode Island v. George Washington +7 | Top | 81-60 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 0 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the George Washington Colonials + the points over Rhode Island. The Colonials were upset by Duquesne, 69-52, in their last game, and have been installed as a home underdog vs. the Rams. We'll grab the points with George Washington, as it's cashed 100% as a home underdog off an upset loss since 1990. Moreover, GW falls into a 76-27 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home underdogs of +5 or more points off SU losses. Take the Colonials + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Northern Illinois v. Ohio -7 | Top | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 31 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio Bobcats minus the points over Northern Illinois. Ohio was shellacked by Central Michigan, 75-50, on Tuesday, while the Huskies won their MAC Conference opener, with a 14-point win vs. Kent State. Northern Illinois, though, has covered just 11 of 28 away from home as underdog off a SU/ATS win, while Ohio is a solid 11-1 ATS off a 20-point (or worse) conference defeat. Take Ohio minus the points. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Arizona v. Colorado +9 | Top | 77-80 | Win | 100 | 1 h 43 m | Show |
At 2 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Buffaloes + the points over Arizona. |
|||||||
01-05-18 | William & Mary v. Delaware -1.5 | Top | 90-65 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Delaware Blue Hens minus the points over William & Mary. The Blue Hens were blown out, 93-78, at Charleston on Tuesday. But they're now back home for their first conference game in front of their own fans. And Delaware has been extremely strong off blowout losses over the years. Since 2005, it is 30-12-2 ATS after losing by 15+ points, including 11-1 ATS their last 12 at home. Even better: Delaware falls into a 132-54 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home favorites off SU losses. Delaware is also 20-6 SU and 18-8 ATS vs. William & Mary since Feb. 20, 2002, including 11-3 ATS off a loss. Take the Blue Hens. CAA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Charlotte +7.5 v. North Texas | Top | 70-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte 49ers (rotation #535) + the points over North Texas. The Mean Green come into their home game tonight off back to back UPSET road wins over Texas El Paso and Texas San Antonio. Unfortunately, they're FAVORED tonight, and this will be the first time all season, in 10 lined games, that the Mean Green were favored. North Texas is a poor 10-23 ATS when priced as a home favorite of -6.5 to -9 points, and it is 12-26 ATS at home off back to back wins. Take Charlotte. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Ducks v. Oilers -125 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over Anaheim. When these two teams last met, the Ducks were dispatching the Oilers in Game 7 of the quarterfinal round of last season's playoffs. But I expect the Oilers to avenge that playoff ouster with a win tonight, here at home. The Oilers are off four straight losses (giving up 4+ goals in each), but are a solid 6-1 after giving up 4+ goals in each of their last three games. Anaheim is off a 5-0 win at Vancouver, but is a poor 10-20 off a road win (and 2-8 off a shutout road win). Take Edmonton. NHL PAYBACK PAYDAY. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Northern Iowa +5.5 v. Missouri State | Top | 55-62 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Northern Iowa Panthers (rotation #547) + the points over Missouri State. The Bears are off to a 2-0 start in the Missouri Valley Conference thus far, but have only covered four of their last 20 home games vs. the Panthers. Even worse: Missouri State is an awful 1-10 ATS at home off back to back conference wins (and 37-62 ATS, generally, off a conference win). Take the points with Northern Iowa. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | North Dakota +14.5 v. Montana | Top | 79-109 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the North Dakota Fighting Hawks (rotation #601) + the points over Montana. The Grizzlies are 5-2 SU and 7-0 ATS over their last seven games, while North Dakota is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS its last six. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the 'hot' Grizzlies against the 'cold' Fighting Hawks. But North Dakota falls into a 'contrarian' 381-203 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off losses against opponents off wins. Take North Dakota. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Troy State v. Texas-Arlington -6.5 | Top | 76-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Texas Arlington Mavericks (rotation #538) minus the points over Troy. Texas Arlington was upset by Appalachian State, 80-76, as a 4.5-point road favorite in its last game. Now, it's back home, and it will take on a Trojans squad which is on a poor 1-5 SU/ATS run in its last five lined games. Arlington is an awesome 30-11 ATS off a road loss. Lay the points. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Warriors -4 v. Rockets | Top | 124-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Houston. The Rockets upset the Warriors on Opening Day, 122-121. But I expect the Warriors to avenge that defeat tonight, as they fall into a 192-113 ATS 'revenge' system of mine. Additionally, the Warriors are 9-0 ATS in the regular season, when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season, vs. an opponent off a SU/ATS win. Take Golden State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Sharks v. Maple Leafs -140 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the San Jose Sharks. The Leafs enter the second half of the season in third place in the Atlantic Division and perhaps poised as much as any team to make a run at a title. For one thing, the Leafs were without their best player, C Auston Matthews, for about ten games in the first half due to an upper body injury which sidelined him on two separate occasions -- once in November and then again in December. Matthews finally appears to be 100% healthy and could be sitting on a huge second half for his team. Now for the obvious elephant in the room tonight. The Sharks have won 10 straight meetings with the Leafs and seven straight here in Toronto. But all things come to an end, and with San Jose having lost three of its last four road games, it is in a position to be on the losing end to tonight's opponent for the first time since January 2011. The Sharks are 0-4 in their last four road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, while the Leafs are 4-1 in their last five home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Toronto's also 9-0 its last nine off a division loss by more than a goal. Take Toronto. NHL HIGH ROLLER. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | VMI +15 v. Wofford | Top | 53-92 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the VMI Keydets (rotation #573) + the points over Wofford. VMI comes into this game off back to back losses, including an 87-57 home blowout defeat to Furman on Saturday. But VMI now falls into a "bounce-back" 475-265 ATS system of mine which plays on certain underdogs off big losses. Take VMI. |
|||||||
01-03-18 | Oklahoma State +10 v. Oklahoma | Top | 89-109 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 36 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys + the points over Oklahoma. In its last game, Oklahoma upset an undefeated TCU team, 90-89, in Fort Worth. Now, the Sooners are a big favorite vs. rival Oklahoma State. But favorites of -8 (or more) points have cashed just 20% in conference games over the last 19 years off an upset win over a previously undefeated conference foe! Additionally, the Cowboys are 9-0-1 ATS their last 10 road games as an underdog. Take the Cowboys + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-03-18 | St Bonaventure v. Dayton +2 | Top | 72-82 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Dayton Flyers + the points over St. Bonaventure. The Flyers blew out UMass, 98-78, on Saturday, while Dayton was upset by Duquesne, 70-62. But I look for the Flyers to bounce back on Wednesday, as St. Bonaventure falls into a negative 25-77 ATS system of mine which goes against certain road teams off blowout losses. Also, the Flyers are a solid 4-1 ATS this season off a loss, and they're 67% ATS over the last 28 years as a home underdog off an upset loss. Finally, the Bonnies are a poor 19% (4-17 ATS) as road favorites of 15 or less points vs. foes off an upset defeat. Take Dayton. NCAA Roadkill Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-03-18 | Cavs v. Celtics -2.5 | Top | 88-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Cleveland. These two teams met in the season opener, and Cleveland bested Boston, 102-99, as a 3.5-point favorite. I look for the Celtics to avenge that defeat, as they fall into a 191-113 ATS 'revenge' system of mine, which plays on certain winning teams with revenge. Also, the Cavs played last night, but are a miserable 9-22 SU and 9-21-1 ATS on the road when playing without rest. Meanwhile, the Celtics are an awesome 23-3 SU and 19-7 ATS as a revenge-minded home favorite, including a perfect 12-0 SU/ATS when favored by 5 points or less. Take Boston. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Georgetown v. DePaul -4 | Top | 90-81 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the DePaul Blue Demons minus the points over Georgetown. The Hoyas take the to the road to play DePaul, and are undefeated ATS in their last four games. Unfortunately, that ATS win streak has triggered a negative 12-50 ATS system of mine that goes against Georgetown, tonight. DePaul covered both meetings last season (by an average of 10.25 ppg), and will blow out the Hoyas today. Lay the points. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Texas Tech v. Kansas -7.5 | Top | 85-73 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over Texas Tech. We played on the Red Raiders as our Big 12 Game of the Month in their win over Baylor last Friday. But they've had zero success of late vs. Kansas (18 straight losses in the series). The Red Raiders have struggled on the road, generally, over the years, including 73-103 ATS as an underdog (or PK), so we'll lay the points with the Jayhawks, here, at Allen Fieldhouse. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Panthers v. Wild -135 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Wild over Florida Panthers. The two current longest winning streaks in the NHL heading into 2018 belong to two of the most unlikely teams. In the West, the Vegas Knights have won seven in a row, while in the East, the Florida Panthers have not lost in their last five. The Knights' streak is impressive, featuring victories against some of the top teams, but the same cannot be said of Florida. Four of the Panthers' five wins have come against losing teams (Montreal, Arizona, Philly, and Ottawa) whose combined record is 53-102. In fact, the only winning team they've beaten during the streak is tonight's opponent, so this game offers the Wild a chance for some revenge, which it will gladly take. Florida has some key injuries too, including its veteran goalie Roberto Luongo who has been out since December 4 with a lower body injury. The Panthers are also without top right winger Radim Vrbata, who is battling an illness. The Panthers are 5-15 in the last 20 meetings with the Wild and the home team is 5-1 in the last six. Even worse: Florida's 15-35 off a home shutout win. Take Minnesota. NHL Elite Info Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

01-02-18 | Spurs -5 v. Knicks | Top | 100-91 | Win | 100 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over New York. The Spurs were upset by the Pistons, 93-79, in their last game. But I look for the Spurs to rebound tonight, as they've cashed 65% ATS as road favorites off a double-digit loss since 1993, if they were playing an opponent off an ATS win. With the Knicks in off a 105-103 upset of New Orleans, we'll lay the points with the Spurs. NBA Road Warrior Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

01-02-18 | Michigan v. Iowa +3 | Top | 75-68 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 17 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes + the points over Michigan. The Hawkeyes have won five straight (4-0 ATS), and fall into a 33-4 ATS 'momentum' system of mine which plays on certain home underdogs off a SU/ATS win. Iowa's also won and covered the last five meetings in this series, and the last four here at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Meanwhile, Michigan is a dreadful 3-11 ATS off a double-digit home win. Take Iowa + the points. |

01-01-18 | Alabama -3 v. Clemson | Top | 24-6 | Win | 100 | 62 h 15 m | Show |
At 8:45 pm, on New Year's Day, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide minus the points over Clemson. Nick Saban (along with Urban Meyer) is one of the two best coaches in College Football. And he excels in competitively-priced games, with point spreads less than five points. In that situation, he's a fantastic 35-17 SU/ATS, including a PERFECT 7-0 SU/ATS in the Post-Season! I won't fade those numbers. Moreover, Alabama is 58-26 ATS since 1984 when playing away from home off a point spread defeat. And teams off upset losses to end their season have cashed 62% in bowl games when not laying 3.5+ points. Finally, defending National Champions (like Clemson) are an awful 9-26-1 ATS off a SU/ATS win when not laying more than 10 points, including 0-7-1 ATS as an underdog. Take Alabama. BOWL FAVORITE OF THE YEAR! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-01-18 | Bucks +6 v. Raptors | Top | 127-131 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks + the points over the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors eliminated the Bucks from the Playoffs last season, and this is the first time the two teams have met this season. We'll grab the points with the revenge-minded Bucks, as they fall into a 127-90 ATS Playoff revenge system of mine. Also, the Bucks have won and covered two straight, and Toronto is a poor 0-8 ATS its last eight when priced from -1.5 to -7.5 vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take Milwaukee. NBA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-01-18 | West Virginia v. Kansas State +2 | Top | 77-69 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Kansas State Wildcats + the points over West Virginia. Both the Mountaineers and Wildcats got their Big 12 Conference seasons off on the winning note with road wins on Friday. The Mountaineers bested Oklahoma State, 85-79, while Kansas State blew out Iowa State, 91-75. These two teams last met in the Big 12 Conference Tourney last March, and the Mountaineers edged the Wildcats by a single point, 51-50 (after the two teams had traded home wins in the two regular season meetings). I look for the Wildcats to avenge that Tourney loss on this Monday, as they fall into an 82-38 ATS Tourney revenge system of mine which plays on certain home dogs that lost in last year's post-season to their opponent. Also, the Wildcats are an awesome 11-3 ATS since 2003 when playing with Tourney revenge, including a perfect 8-0 ATS when priced from +9.5 to -4 points. That bodes well for Bruce Weber's men on Monday. As does the fact that the Mountaineers are a wallet-busting 44-73 ATS away from home off a Big 12 Conference win, including 0-6 ATS in their six opportunities last season as a favorite! Take Kansas State. BIG 12 GAME OF THE WEEK. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
01-01-18 | Sabres v. Rangers -170 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Rangers over the Buffalo Sabres. In today's 10th anniversary of the NHL's annual Winter Classic game, there will be some unknowns as usual for the outdoor contest. But one thing they won't have to worry about this year is the weather being unseasonably warm -- which has happened on at least one occasion. Temperatures in Queens, NY this afternoon should be in the low 20s for this game between the Rangers and Sabres. Although the game will be held at Citi Field -- home of the Mets -- the Sabres are listed as the home team, although it probably won't matter much in terms of the fan base. It also shouldn't matter in terms of Buffalo's performance, either, as it has been equally bad at home (5-12) as it has been on the road this season (5-16). In one of the biggest upsets of the first half, The Sabres beat the Division-Leading Devils in NJ in their last game, 4-3 in OT. But that was only the fourth victory in their last 15 games overall going back to Thanksgiving. The Rangers are 10-3 in the last 13 meetings and 6-1 in their last seven playing on two days rest. Meanwhile, the Sabres are an awful 7-20 after scoring more than three goals in their previous game. Take New York. NHL ELITE INFO. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Blackhawks v. Flames -130 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Calgary Flames over Chicago. The Flames have dropped three straight games, including a 2-1 defeat at Anaheim their last time on the ice. But Calgary is a super 22-9 after not scoring 2+ goals in their previous game. Meanwhile, Chicago is in the midst of a 6-game road trip (this is game #5 of that trip), and it has dropped six of its last seven road games, when it was its 3rd road game in four nights. It's also a poor 65-81 (minus 26 games on the money line) when it played its previous four games on the road. Take the Flames. NHL Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Jets v. Oilers -140 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -140 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Winnipeg Jets. Tonight marks the end of the 2017 portion of the current NHL season. If back in October you had told people that three of the Division Leaders heading into the New Year would be New Jersey, Vegas, and Winnipeg, they'd probably say you needed your head examined. But that's the case with this unpredictable first half. And, tonight, one of those teams -- Winnipeg -- takes its leading record into Edmonton. If there's been a weakness in the Winnipeg performance through the first 3 1/2 months, it's been its record on the road. With a 14-4 record in Winnipeg and 8-13 record elsewhere, the Jets are the team with the biggest home-road differential in the NHL so far. The Jets have also been hit with some very costly injuries lately, including #1 C Mark Scheifele who is sitting with an upper-body injury, and #1 D Dustin Byfuglien who just started skating again after a lower-body injury. The Jets won the last match-up between these two just four days ago at home, but the Oilers were 4-1 against them in the five meetings before that. And the Jets are an awful 2-12 off back to back home wins (and 13-29 off back to back wins at any venue). Take Edmonton. NHL Roadkill Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | 49ers v. Rams UNDER 44 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Rams and 49ers to go 'under' the total. These two teams met earlier this season in San Francisco, and the Rams came away with a 41-39 victory. I look for a much lower scoring game on Sunday, as rematches of games where each team scored 28+ points have gone 'under' the total 61.4% since 1980 when the line was greater than 41 points. Take the 'under.' NFL Total of the Month! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Portland State v. CS Sacramento +7.5 | Top | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our BIG SKY GAME OF THE MONTH is on the Sacramento State Hornets + the points over Portland State. The Vikings have opened their season with 10 straight ATS wins. George Mason (2011) and UTEP (2017) both covered 14 straight, which are the longest ATS win streaks on record in my database (since 1990). We'll take the Hornets + the points, as home dogs priced from +2.5 to +11 have covered 62% since 1990 vs. foes off 9+ ATS wins. Additionally, the Vikings are a horrid 10-26 ATS on the road off an ATS win, if they're playing an opponent off a SU loss. Take Sacramento State. BIG SKY GAME OF THE MONTH. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Arizona State v. Arizona -6 | Top | 78-84 | Push | 0 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Wildcats (rotation #610) minus the points over Arizona State. The Sun Devils come into this game undefeated, and ranked among the Top 5. But I expect Arizona to blow them out tonight, as Arizona has won each of the last four meetings by an average of 19.75 ppg (and covered each of them, as well). Also, undefeated teams, with a 9-0 (or better) record, have been poor (3-22 ATS) when playing with revenge, and getting more than 5 points. Take Arizona. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Wisconsin v. Miami-FL +6 | Top | 34-24 | Loss | -101 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Miami Fla Hurricanes + the points over Wisconsin. The Hurricanes stumbled down the stretch with back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh and Clemson end their season. But I love Miami to rebound here, as Bowl teams off back to back SU/ATS losses have cashed 61% since 1980 when not favored by 3+ points. Take Miami. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Hurricanes v. Blues -117 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Blues over the Carolina Hurricanes. St. Louis may not have an NFL team anymore, with the Rams having moved to L.A. after the 2015 season, but the city still has a pretty good professional hockey team. And perhaps with no football distraction this winter, the City will get behind the Blues and cheer them on to their first-ever Stanley Cup Title. The Blues are sitting in third place in their division, just two points behind the Jets, and their 100 goals allowed is the third-best such number in the Western Conference. The Blues have lost two straight against the Preds and Stars, and now they switch to an Eastern team, and they're 10-5 against clubs from the other conference this season (vs. 13-12 against teams from the West). #1 goalie Jake Allen started in net last night in Dallas, so Carter Hutton should be between the pipes tonight. Hutton is one of the best backups in the league with a stellar .948 Saves pct and 1.68 GAA. The Canes are 3-7 in their last 10 road games and 4-10 in their last 14 vs. teams from the West. Take St. Louis. NHL NON-DIVISION GAME OF THE MONTH! As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | SIU-Edwardsville +18 v. Murray State | Top | 63-87 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars (rotation #649) + the points over Murray St. The Racers are 9-3, including wins in their last two games -- at Detroit, and vs. Eastern Illinois. Unfortunately, Murray St. is one of College Basketball's worst double-digit favorites as they've gone 15-38-3 ATS in that role, including 4-28 ATS off back to back wins. Yikes! Grab the points with SIU-Edwardsville. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Temple +7.5 v. Houston | Top | 73-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Temple Owls (rotation #521) + the points over Houston. The Owls stumbled in their last game when they fell by 10 points, at home, to Tulane. But the good news for Temple is that it's a strong 12-3 ATS off a double-digit home loss. Take the Owls + the points. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Davidson -5 v. Richmond | Top | 58-69 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Davidson Wildcats (rotation #583) minus the points over Richmond. Last year, the Wildcats were upset not once, but twice by the Spiders. But you know what they say about 'Payback.' And Davidson will get it this afternoon, as it's 189-138 ATS in Conference play since 1997, while Richmond has dropped 13 of its last 18 home games ATS. The Wildcats also fall into a super 23-3 ATS 'revenge' system of mine. Lay the points with Davidson. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | St. Mary's v. BYU +1.5 | Top | 74-64 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars (rotation #620) over St Marys. BYU lost to St Marys, 81-50, in last year's West Coast Conference Tourney. But I love BYU to avenge that defeat, as the Cougars are 103-69 ATS at home off a SU win. And they also fall into a 121-84 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams with revenge from a Tourney loss by 14+ points. Take BYU. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Iowa State v. Memphis -3.5 | Top | 21-20 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
At 12:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Tigers minus the points over Iowa State. The Tigers ended their season with a loss at Central Florida in the American Athletic Conf. Championship game, while ISU fell by a point, at Kansas State. But even though Memphis lost in the American Athletic Conf. Title game, just playing in that sort of atmosphere generally is of great benefit to teams in the Bowl games. Indeed, if one plays on a Bowl team which made its Conference Championship game, one would have cashed 55% in the Bowls, including 62% if our team wasn't favored by more than 4 points. That bodes well for the Tigers this afternoon. As does the fact that the Tigers will be playing at home, in the Liberty Bowl. And home teams off losses have cashed 63.1% in Bowl games since 1980. Take Memphis. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Louisville v. Mississippi State +7 | Top | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs + the points over Louisville. The Cardinals and Bulldogs both finished the season with solid 8-4 records, though Miss State owned the better ATS mark (7-5 ATS compared to Louisville's 5-7 ATS). The Bulldogs, though, were upset in their last game, 31-28, by Ole Miss, while Louisville blew out Kentucky, 44-17. Unfortunately for Louisville, teams off SU/ATS wins have been dreadful away from home in Bowl games vs. foes off upset losses, when favored by 3+ points, as they've cashed just 20.5% over the last 37 years. Take Mississippi State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Mavs v. Pelicans -6.5 | Top | 128-120 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 59 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans minus the points over Dallas. The Mavericks come into tonight's game off back to back upset wins. But I look for the Pels to blow out Dallas tonight, as New Orleans has won and covered its last three games -- scoring at least 109 points in each game, and winning each by 14+ points. Since 1990, NBA teams off three straight double-digit wins, are 174-109 ATS if they also scored 105+ points in each of their three previous games. Take the Pelicans. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Pacers +2.5 v. Bulls | Top | 107-119 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the the Indiana Pacers + the points over the Chicago Bulls. Indiana comes into tonight's game off back to back SU/ATS losses (at Detroit; at home vs. Dallas), while Chicago is off back to back SU/ATS wins (at Milwaukee; home vs. New York). And those results set up our play tonight on the Pacers, as Indy falls into a 95-33 ATS system of mine which plays on certain rested teams off back to back losses, if they're on the road against a division foe. Also, Indiana is a solid 28-15 vs. division rivals the last three seasons, and 24-11 ATS off a home loss. Meanwhile, the Bulls are a poor 93-126 ATS at home off back to back ATS wins. Take the Pacers. NBA DIVISION GAME OF THE MONTH. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Baylor v. Texas Tech -6.5 | Top | 53-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders minus the points over Baylor. The Red Raiders have had the last six days off. And that bodes very well for them, as they're 22-6 ATS at home when playing with at least the previous five days off, including a perfect 11-0 ATS as a favorite of more than 5 points. Take the Red Raiders on Friday. Big 12 Game of the Month. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Bucks v. Thunder -8.5 | Top | 97-95 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 49 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Milwaukee. The Thunder are starting to come together, as a team. They've won six straight (and eight of nine), and have covered the point spread in each of their last three games. We played on Milwaukee last night, and got the cash when they downed the T-Wolves by six points. But the Bucks are a poor 36-62 ATS as unrested road underdogs, when they played at home the previous day, if their opponent is rested. And Milwaukee's also 11-22-1 ATS vs. the Thunder since 2001. Take Oklahoma City. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Hawks v. Raptors -11 | Top | 98-111 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Atlanta. These two teams met earlier this season, and the Raptors pummeled the Hawks, 112-78, for the Hawks' worst (and Toronto's best) defeat of the season. I look for a similar result tonight, as Toronto will be in an ornery mood following two losses in its last two games. Coincidentally, the Raptors were also off back to back losses when they played the Hawks in that first meeting. And the Raptors are 2-0 SU/ATS this season when playing off losses in their two previous games. Meanwhile, Atlanta's 8-20 ATS when playing a foe off back to back losses. Take the Raptors. |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Kentucky +8 v. Northwestern | Top | 23-24 | Win | 100 | 38 h 51 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Kentucky Wildcats + the points over Northwestern. Kentucky was 7-5 on the season, but finished its regular season with back-to-back losses, at Georgia, and at home vs. Louisville. However, those two opponents were superior to Kentucky, which as installed as a double-digit underdog in each game, so there was no great shame in losing each of them. In contrast, Northwestern ended its regular season with two dominant defensive performances: a 39-0 shutout of the Golden Gophers, and a 42-7 blowout of Illinois, and finished the season with a 9-3 record. But it must be noted that neither of Northwestern's last two opponents was very good this season. Illinois was 2-10, and finished the year on an 10-game losing streak (and averaged just 13.1 ppg over its last nine games). Minnesota was better than Illinois, but it still only won five of its 12 games (and only won two of its nine Big 10 Conference games). It also ended the season with back-to-back shutout losses, and scored 10 points or less in four of its final five games. So, all of this puts Northwestern's last two defensive games in a better perspective. We'll fade Northwestern, as .900 (or worse) Bowl teams have gone 0-15 ATS over the last 21 years if they didn't give up 13+ points in each of their two previous games, and they were not playing an opponent with a better record. Also, underdogs off back to back losses have covered 69% in the Bowls over the last 38 years vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take Kentucky. NCAA FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Golden Knights v. Kings -150 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -150 | 17 h 11 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Kings over the Vegas Golden Knights. The most surprising team through the first half of the NHL season? That's an easy "no-brainer". The Golden Knights are an expansion team in one of the unlikeliest places for a professional hockey team, but don't tell them that. This cobbled-together bunch playing on a sheet of ice in the desert not only sports a winning record, but at 24-11, they are sitting in first place in their division with no signs of slowing down. Los Angeles is only about a five hour drive from Sin City, but these two clubs have yet to meet here at Staples Center. That ends tonight as the Knights visit one of the best veteran teams in the NHL's Western Conference. Vegas comes in having won five straight -- all but one at home -- but if there is a knock against this Cinderella club it's the fact that it is 15-3 at T Mobile Arena, but just 9-8 elsewhere. The Kings are 5-0 in their last five home games, 5-1 in their last six vs. the West, and 6-1 when playing with revenge from an upset road loss. And they'll have a huge advantage tonight, in that they will be playing on four days' of rest, while Vegas played last night. Take the Kings. NHL GAME OF THE MONTH. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Michigan State v. Washington State +2 | Top | 42-17 | Loss | -102 | 16 h 12 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Washington State Cougars + the points over Michigan State. Wazzu has been installed as the underdog in this match-up vs. the Spartans. But we'll grab the points, as rested Pac-12 Conference teams have gone 21-0 ATS since 1980 vs. non-conference foes off a win, if our Pac-12 team owned a W/L percentage of .600 (or better). Take Washington State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Wolves v. Bucks -2.5 | Top | 96-102 | Win | 100 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Minnesota. The Bucks have dropped two straight, but they're an awesome 36-10 ATS at home off back to back losses. The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are off five straight wins, including a 121-104 blowout of the Lakers on XMas Day, and a 128-125 win vs. Denver last night. Unfortunately, NBA teams off back to back wins are a poor 76-115 ATS, if they scored more than 116 points in their previous game, and they're playing a foe off a loss. Take Milwaukee. NBA HIGH ROLLER WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Bruins v. Capitals -123 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals over Boston. The Capitals lost a heartbreaker last night, as they fell, 1-0, in a shootout at the NY Rangers. They're back home, though, tonight, and I love them to bounce back, as they're 28-10 after not scoring 2 goals in their previous game. They're also 13-4 off back to back losses, and 11-0 in the last 11 meetings vs. the Bruins. Meanwhile, Boston is a poor 2-9 when playing with double revenge vs. an opponent. Take Washington. NHL Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Virginia v. Navy +1 | Top | 7-49 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
At 1:30 pm, our selection is on the Naval Academy over Virginia. There are two things that I try to not do when betting the Bowl games. One is to go against a Service Academy. As I mentioned last weekend in my write-up for my NCAA Game of the Week Winner on Army, the Service Academies have excelled in the Bowls. They're now 32-14 ATS (following Army's win) since 1980. And the other thing I will rarely do in Bowl games is go against a team playing at home. This game, of course, is being played in Annapolis, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. And that's a big disadvantage for Virginia, which is 7-27 ATS on the road when priced from +1 to -11 points vs. .375 (or better) foes. Take Navy. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Jazz +12 v. Warriors | Top | 101-126 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz over Golden State. The Jazz lost 4-games-to-none in last year's Playoffs to the Warriors. But one of the things I love to do is play on certain underdogs with revenge from a playoff series defeat. Utah falls into a 74-40 ATS Playoff revenge angle of mine. Take the Jazz + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Grizzlies v. Lakers -2.5 | Top | 109-99 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The Lakers are in the midst of a 4-game home stand, while Memphis is on a 5-game road trek. Last night, the Suns won by two points, with a game winning alley-oop at the buzzer, to beat Memphis. Meanwhile, the Lakers were off last night, so they will be well-rested. Los Angeles falls into a super 128-83 ATS system of mine which plays on certain losing teams, at home, off home losses. Take the Lakers. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Cavs -9.5 v. Kings | Top | 95-109 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 56 m | Show |
At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Sacramento, as the Cavs fall into 192-111 and 332-205 ATS systems of mine which play on certain road favorites off straight-up defeats. Also, the Cavs have dropped three in a row to the point spread. But LeBron James & Co. is 9-3 their last 12 off 3 ATS defeats. And LeBron's teams are 64% ATS in his career as rested road favorites off SU/ATS losses. Take Cleveland to blow out Sacramento. NBA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | San Jose State v. Utah State -12 | Top | 72-86 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Utah State Aggies minus the points over San Jose State. The Aggies have dropped their last four games to the pointspread, but fall into an 82-34 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 4+ losses in a row to the spread. Also, the Aggies have owned the Spartans over the years, as they are 20-0 straight-up in the last 20 meetings (15-5 ATS), and have covered the last nine in a row. Take Utah State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

12-27-17 | Oilers v. Jets -125 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over Edmonton. The Jets are off back to back road losses, at Boston, and at the Islanders. But they're back home tonight, and the Jets are a super 13-3 at home off a road loss, and 8-0 their last eight home games when playing a road game immediately before. The Oilers did blow out Montreal, 4-1, before the Christmas holiday break. Unfortunately, the Oilers are 0-6 this season off a win by more than two goals. Take the Jets. Hockey Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

12-27-17 | Knicks +1.5 v. Bulls | Top | 87-92 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks over the Chicago Bulls. Chicago upset the Bucks in Milwaukee last night, and now come home to take on New York which is rested. The Bulls fall into a negative 57-111 ATS system of mine which fades certain unrested teams off upset wins, while the Knicks are 34-18 ATS off a pointspread defeat. Take New York |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins -150 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Penguins over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Perhaps no team in the NHL welcomed the Christmas Break more than the defending Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. While the Steelers of the NFL are on quite a roll -- having locked up a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs -- the Penguins are stumbling and bumbling their way to the end of 2017. The Pens are only one point out of the Metropolitan Division cellar and if the season ended now, they would not make the playoffs, having lost five of their last seven games. Nobody on the team needed some time off more than goalie Matt Murray who allowed three goals on 13 shots in his last start before being replaced by Tristan Jarry in an embarrassing 4-0 loss to the Ducks here at home. The good news is that the home team has dominated this series lately, as the hosts have won nine of the last 10 meetings and 16 of the last 21. And the Pens are 6-1 in the last seven meetings with the Jackets. Take Pittsburgh. NHL Roadkill Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Eastern Michigan v. Syracuse -12.5 | Top | 47-62 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over Eastern Michigan. Both of these teams are off to good starts this season: Syracuse is 10-2 while Eastern Michigan is 8-3. The Orange did lose their last game, 60-57, as a 6.5-point home favorite. But I look for the Orange to bounce back off that upset defeat, as the Orange have cashed 59% over the last 28 years as a double-digit favorite off an upset loss. And Syracuse also falls into an 84-34 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off upset losses. Lay the points with Syracuse. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Boston College v. Iowa -2.5 | Top | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
At 5:15 pm, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes minus the points over Boston College. The Iowa Hawkeyes' senior class has lost Bowl games each of the past three seasons, so I expect the Hawkeyes to be extremely motivated this afternoon to break their losing streak in the Bowls. Iowa falls into 135-84, 36-25 and 89-38 ATS systems of mine. Take the Hawkeyes. NCAA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-26-17 | Northern Illinois +6 v. Duke | Top | 14-36 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 50 m | Show |
At 5:15 pm, our selection is on the Northern Illinois Huskies + the points over Duke. The Huskies were upset, 31-24, as a 2.5-point favorite in their final regular season game by Central Michigan. Meanwhile, Duke stunned Wake Forest, 31-23, as a 10.5-point underdog to end its regular season. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, teams have covered just 34.7% in the Bowls since 1980 off an upset win, if they covered by more than 10 points in that upset, and they're now matched up against an opponent off an upset loss. Additionally, the Huskies are 7-0 ATS since 2012 vs. foes off an upset win. Take the Huskies + the points. |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Wolves v. Lakers +5 | Top | 121-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers + the points over Minnesota. The Lakers have certainly had an up-and-down season. They're 11-20 straight-up, and 15-16 ATS. But they've been sensational against the elite teams in the league this season, as they have covered nine of 11 when matched up against .600 (or better) foes. Meanwhile, the T-Wolves are 4-16 ATS as road favorites vs. .360 (or worse) teams. Moreover, Minnesota's been favored each of the last three meetings here, in Los Angeles, but has been upset each time. Same result on Christmas. Take the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Wizards +5 v. Celtics | Top | 111-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
At 5:35 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over Boston. The Celtics have cooled off considerably since their hot 22-4 start to the season. Boston is just 5-5 over their last 10 games (coincidentally, the same record as the Wizards in their last 10). Washington plays this game with revenge from last season's 7-game Series loss to the Celtics, and falls into a 72-40 ATS playoff revenge system of mine. Take the Wizards + the points. |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Steelers v. Texans +9.5 | Top | 34-6 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, on Christmas Day, our selection is on the Houston Texans + the points over Pittsburgh. The Texans were walloped by Jacksonville last week, 45-7. And that was Houston’s fourth straight loss. But this is a perfect spot to take Houston to bounce back, and I think they’ll easily cover vs. the Steelers. Last week, Pittsburgh suffered, perhaps, the most brutal loss of the entire season, as they seemingly scored the game winning touchdown vs. New England, but had it overturned on a technicality by the replay officials. I’ve always found that close losses are more difficult to bounce back from than blowout losses, and the way the Steelers lost will surely affect them emotionally. The other big factor here is that Houston is at home, and getting points, while the Steelers are laying points on the road. And home underdogs generally bounce back off blowout losses. Indeed, for technical support, consider that NFL home underdogs of +4 or more points, off a loss by 28 or more points, are 20-1 ATS their last 21 vs. opponents also off a loss. Take Houston. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Akron v. Davidson -9.5 | Top | 78-91 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
At 12:30 pm, our selection is on the Davidson Wildcats minus the points over Akron. Bob McKillop's Wildcats returned 4 starters from last year's 17-15 team, but have gotten off to a slower-than-expected 4-6 start this season. In their last game -- a 79-71 upset loss, here, at Hawaii to the homestanding Rainbow Warriors -- they shot a season-low 38% from the floor. But the last time the Wildcats were upset this season was at Appalachian State, when they shot just 40%, and fell, 78-62, as a 10-point favorite. They rebounded nicely from that defeat with a 15-point blowout of Charlotte (while shooting 51.6%) in their next game. I expect a similar rebound this afternoon vs. Akron, as the Wildcats are 59% ATS since 1990 off an upset loss. And they also fall into a 53-13 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off ATS defeats. Take Davidson. NCAA High Noon Hanging. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-25-17 | 76ers +3 v. Knicks | Top | 105-98 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
At 12:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over New York. The Sixers have lost their last five games -- both SU and ATS -- but NBA teams are 57-32 ATS since 1990 on the road off 5 SU/ATS losses when playing a division rival. Take Philly. |
|||||||
12-24-17 | Houston -2.5 v. Fresno State | Top | 27-33 | Loss | -110 | 137 h 49 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars over the Fresno State Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have had no success in the Bowl games over the past nine years. They've played in six Bowl games and are a horrid 0-6 SU/ATS. And they've lost by an average of 19.5 ppg! Even worse: since 1980, Fresno State has made 16 bowl games, but it is 0-8 ATS in the Bowls when it wasn't getting 3+ points. We'll take Houston tonight, as it falls into several of my favorite systems, with records of 112-56, 53-17 and 89-37 ATS. Take the Cougars. NCAA High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-24-17 | Giants +3.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 0-23 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the New York Giants + the points over Arizona. We played on the Giants last week, and got the $$$, even though New York lost outright, 34-29, to the Eagles (but covered as a 7-point underdog). The Giants have dropped their last four games, straight-up, and are 2-12 on the season. But I love them to pull the outright upset this afternoon vs. the 6-8 Cardinals, as they fall into a 102-42 ATS system of mine. Even better: NFL road teams off 4+ losses, and not getting more than 4 points, have covered 81% since 1980 if they're matched up against a foe whose W/L percentage is more than 25% better. Take New York. Underdog Shocker. Good luck, as always, Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Vikings v. Packers +9 | Top | 16-0 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 16 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Green Bay Packers + the points over Minnesota. The Packers lost at Carolina last week, but they're back home at Lambeau Field for this game against their NFC North division rival. And NFC North division teams are 58-30 ATS off a loss vs. a division foe off a win! Even better: Green Bay plays with revenge vs. Minnesota from an upset loss earlier this season. And teams from the NFC North (or its forerunner, the NFC Central) are 29-6 ATS as underdogs of more than 6 points when playing with revenge vs. a division foe. Take Green Bay. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Avalanche -110 v. Coyotes | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 60 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche over the Arizona Coyotes. Arizona will start Antii Raanta tonight, after Scott Wedgewood was between the pipes in last night's win over Washington. Raanta is an uninspiring 1-2 vs. Colorado, with nine goals given up in 81 shots (.889 saves pct.). That doesn't bode well for the Coyotes. Arizona's won just 8 of its 37 games this season, including 0-3 off a home win, and 0-5 when playing without rest. Take Colorado. NHL High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Bulls v. Celtics -7 | Top | 92-117 | Win | 100 | 15 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Chicago. After starting the season 22-4, Boston's gone 4-5 since, including back to back upset losses to the Heat and Knicks in their last two games. The Celtics were also blasted by the Bulls, 108-85, earlier this month. But Kyrie Irving didn't play in that game. We'll lay the points with the Celtics in this rematch, as they're 43-24 ATS in the regular season when playing with revenge, including 14-4 ATS when they lost the previous meeting by more than 10 points. And they're 8-0 ATS off back to back losses since Jan. 25, 2017. Take Boston. NBA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Blackhawks -111 v. Devils | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks over the New Jersey Devils. The Blackhawks were red hot behind the play of goalie Corey Crawford heading into their last game. Prior to Thursday's contest in Dallas against the Stars, the Hawks had won five straight by a combined score of 18-7. Much of that success was due to the performance of Crawford, Chicago's veteran net-minder, who started the season somewhat slowly before catching fire in the month of December. But he was as cold as the ice surface against the Stars that night, allowing four goals in just 22 shots in a rare clunker of a performance. His offense didn't help him out either as the Hawks were shut out 4-0. I expect Crawford and his team to be back in form tonight in New Jersey against the Devils. Chicago has had good success against the Metropolitan lately, going 10-3 in the last 13 vs. teams from that division. Take the 'Hawks. NHL Road Warrior Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Appalachian State v. Toledo -6.5 | Top | 34-0 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 48 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over Appalachian State. These two teams met in last year's Camellia Bowl. The Mountaineers were favored by a point, and won that game, 31-28. Thus, Toledo will look to avenge that defeat. And I think they'll get it, as teams playing with revenge from a loss in the same, or previous season, have generally performed well in Bowl games. And especially if they didn't lose the previous meeting by 17+ points. In that situation, they're 13-1-1 ATS since 2008. Lay the points with Toledo. NCAA Bowl Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Idaho State v. CS-Northridge -1.5 | Top | 67-55 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Cal State Northridge Matadors (rotation #578) minus the points over Idaho State. The Bengals won Round 1 when these two teams met in Pocatello 17 days ago. Idaho State was favored by 3 in that ball game, and cruised to a 74-66 victory. Unfortunately for Idaho State, it's a horrid 16-34 ATS when playing a revenge-minded foe, including 9-31 ATS when it didn't win the previous meeting by 12+ points. Finally, Northridge falls into a 101-45 ATS Revenge system of mine. Take the Matadors. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Colts v. Ravens -13 | Top | 16-23 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 17 m | Show |
At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Baltimore Ravens minus the points over Indianapolis. The Ravens blew out Cleveland, 27-10, last week, while Indy fell to the Broncos, 25-13. We'll lay the points with the Ravens, as they are 17-0 ATS at home off a win by more than 15 points, when playing an opponent off a loss. Take Baltimore. NFL High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Army +7 v. San Diego State | Top | 42-35 | Win | 100 | 108 h 13 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Army Black Knights + the points over San Diego State. The Service Academies (Army, Navy and Air Force) have always excelled in the Bowl games, no doubt due to the extreme discipline and preparedness that permeate the programs. Indeed, dating back to 1980, the three academies are 31-14 ATS in the Bowl games, with Army leading the pack at 5-1, 83% ATS. And they're a combined 14-3 ATS when getting more than six points. That bodes well for the Black Knights on Saturday. As does the fact that the Aztecs are 2-5 ATS their last seven as a favorite in the post-season. Finally, Army led the nation with 356 rushing yards per game, and also was among the Top 5 in yards per rush, with 6.1. And over the last 22 seasons, underdogs of more than four points have cashed 100% (10-0 ATS) in the Bowls if they average at least 5.75 yards per rush. Take Army. NCAA Game of the Week. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Wagner v. Dayton -10 | Top | 67-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Dayton Flyers (rotation #584) minus the points over Wagner. The Seahawks have been a generally poor bet over the last few years, as they're 4-11 ATS their last 15 lined ball games. Meanwhile, Dayton's a solid 28-16 ATS its last 44 as favorites of more than 9 points. And it also falls into an 81-48 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites of 5+ points. Take the Flyers. |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Alabama Aandamp;M +26.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 49-89 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Alabama A&M Bulldogs (rotation #581) plus the points over Georgetown. We played on Georgetown in its last game, a 75-63 win over North Texas. And the Hoyas rewarded us with a point spread cover. But that ATS win snapped Georgetown's 5-game ATS losing streak, and it's just 2-5 ATS on the season. Even worse: the Hoyas are an awful 0-8 ATS when laying 15+ points over the past three seasons. Take Alabama A&M. |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Eastern Michigan v. Oakland -7 | Top | 81-86 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Golden Grizzlies minus the points over Eastern Michigan. These two schools met 16 days ago in Ypsilanti, and the Eagles upset Oakland, 95-89, as a 2-point home underdog. But I love Oakland to avenge that defeat as college basketball home favorites of -5 or more points have cashed 85% over the past 15 years vs. non-conference foes, if our team was playing with revenge from an upset loss away from home earlier in the season. Even better: Oakland is 20-5 ATS since 2015 when playing with revenge, including 14-1 ATS off a straight-up win, while Eastern Michigan is 18-42 as an underdog (or PK) vs. a revenge-minded foe, including 0-11 ATS since 2014. Take Oakland. NCAA Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Central Michigan v. Wyoming -2.5 | Top | 14-37 | Win | 100 | 85 h 43 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Wyoming Cowboys minus the points over Central Michigan. Wyoming ended its season with two straight defeats. It lost 13-7, at home, to Fresno State. And then was upset, 20-17, as an 18-point favorite at San Jose St. But QB Josh Allen didn't play in either game. He's expected to be back under center this afternoon, and that will greatly help the Cowboys' offense. Meanwhile, Central Michigan upset Northern Illinois, 31-24, as a 2.5-point underdog in its last regular season game. Unfortunately, since 1980, teams off upset wins to end their regular season have cashed just 36% in Bowl games away from home vs. foes off an upset loss. Take Wyoming. NCAA Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Portland State v. California -5 | Top | 106-81 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
At 11 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears minus the points over Portland State. The Vikings are 9-3 straight-up and 9-0 ATS to start the season, while California is a pedestrian 6-6 SU and 4-5 ATS. But the Vikings' red-hot start "in Vegas" has set them up in an awful point spread situation, as College Basketball teams on a 7-game (or better) ATS win streak, with a .900 (or better) ATS win percentage, are 1-16 ATS as underdogs of +3 or more points in the regular season vs. .500 (or better) foes. Take California. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Blackhawks v. Stars -130 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Stars over Chicago. Dallas has dropped three straight games, but it's a fantastic 24-8 off a loss, including 10-1 off 3+ losses the past two seasons. This will be the 3rd meeting this season between these two clubs, and Dallas won both of the other two. Take the Stars. NHL High Roller Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins -148 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Penguins over the Columbus Blue Jackets. This is the first meeting of the Pens and Jackets since the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last April. Pittsburgh dispatched of Columbus quite easily in that series (4-1) and although the Jackets may have taken a step forward since then -- and the Pens perhaps a step back -- if that series were held again today, few would bet against the defending Cup Champs. The Jackets beat the Leafs last night by 4-2 and it was behind back-up goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who turned aside 39 of 41 shots. Because they will be playing on back-to-back nights, the Jackets will likely go back to regular #1 Sergei Bobrovsky between the pipes. Bobrovsky has been getting roughed up quite a bit lately, allowing a whopping 18 goals in his last four starts. A similar performance tonight will likely not end well for Bobrovsky or his team against a very good Pittsburgh offense. The home team is 8-1 in the last nine meetings of these two and the Jackets are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Pittsburgh. Take the Pens. NHL Elite Info Winner. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Bulls v. Cavs -10.5 | Top | 112-115 | Loss | -107 | 14 h 37 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Chicago. The Bulls won again last night, and that was their 8th straight cover (and 7th straight outright win). They'll now take on LeBron James & Co., in Cleveland. And the Cavs have won 18 of their last 20. Unfortunately for the Bulls, non-winning teams, off 7+ ATS wins, are an awful 0-17 ATS since 1996 as road underdogs of +7.5 or more points. Take Cleveland minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-20-17 | Red Wings v. Flyers -185 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 41 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Flyers over the Detroit Red Wings. The Flyers had their six-game win streak snapped in their last game here at home. We played on the L.A. Kings in that game, and they came away from Philly with a 4-1 victory. But the Flyers get a step-down-in-class tonight as the Red Wings come in for the Flyers' fourth consecutive home game. Watching Detroit play this season, it's hard to believe this is the same franchise that went to the playoffs 25 straight seasons before 2016 and that has won 11 Stanley Cups. They come into this game off of just their third victory in their last 13 games. The Wings are clearly in a rebuilding mode and while they have some talented youngsters on their roster, their biggest challenge is on offense as they are averaging just 2.63 goals per game this season (26th in the league). And that number drops to 2.36 when Detroit is on the road. The Wings are 1-10 in the last 11 meetings in Philadelphia and the home team is 19-5 in the last 24 meetings. Take Philly. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-20-17 | Maple Leafs v. Blue Jackets -155 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs broke a three-game losing streak on Tuesday afternoon with a victory over the Hurricanes at home. More importantly, their offense broke out of its slump with a huge eight-goal performance. With their #1 player -- F Auston Matthews --continuing to miss time with a somewhat mysterious injury, that 8-1 victory looks more like an aberration than anything else. And it looks like Matthews will be absent again tonight so it wouldn't be at all surprising if the Leafs go back to the type of offense they were exhibiting before the blowout win when they managed only four goals in four games. The Blue Jackets come back home after a rough two-game road trip, losing back-to-back contests in Carolina and Boston. But Nationwide Arena has been a friendly place for them lately as the Jackets are 41-18 in their last 59 home games. The Leafs are 1-4 in their last five road games as well as 14-38 in their last 52 road games vs. teams with a home winning % of greater than .600. Take the Jackets. HIGH ROLLER WINNER. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
12-20-17 | North Texas v. Georgetown -9.5 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 15 h 32 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Georgetown Hoyas minus the points over North Texas. These two teams have had "mirror opposite" seasons against the point spread. North Texas lost against the spread in its first lined game, but has covered five in a row since. Meanwhile, the Hoyas covered the spread in their first lined game, but then failed to cover each of their next five. I look for both teams to reverse course on this Wednesday, and will lay the points with Georgetown. For technical support, consider that NCAA teams off five ATS losses have covered 71% since 1990 as a favorite vs. foes off five ATS wins (including 9-0 ATS the last three years). Take Georgetown. NCAA ROADKILL WINNER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
