At 1 pm, our selection is on the Western Carolina Catamounts + the points over Wofford.  Western Carolina plays this game with revenge from a 23-point loss to the Terriers last season.  And WCU falls into an 88-34 ATS revenge system of mine.  Take the Catamounts.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes + the points over Vanderbilt.  The Commodores come into this game off 3 straight wins.  But SEC Conference teams have gone 5-14 ATS in the Bowls off a win, if they were priced from -3 to -7 points.  Take Iowa.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers + the points over Rhode Island.  This is the Atlantic 10 season opener for both teams.  We'll take the Ramblers on the road, as home teams (like Rhode Island) have gone 97-127-3 ATS in their Atlantic 10 conference opener, including 56-86-1 ATS if they didn't cover the spread in their previous game.  Rhode Island enters on a 5-game ATS losing streak.  We'll take the Ramblers + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  Detroit was blown out by the Clippers in their last game, as Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 55 points.  We'll take Detroit to bounce back, as it's 21-6 ATS off an upset loss if it was playing an opponent with a win percentage greater than .625 in its current game.  Even better:  the Lakers have cashed just 41% as a home underdog vs. foes off back to back losses, provided the Lakers were also not off back to back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Toreros + the points over Gonzaga.  San Diego defeated Pacific in its last game, and has been installed as a huge underdog at home vs. Gonzaga tonight.  San Diego is a solid 39-26 ATS as a double-digit dog off a SU win.  And underdogs of more than 24 points have cashed 54.3% in conference games on the regular board.  Take the Toreros.  Good luck, as always..Al McMordie. 

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal minus the points over Notre Dame.  The Irish were upset, 72-69, by Fort Wayne in their previous game, while Stanford is on a 4-game win streak.  We'll lay the points with the Cardinal, as they're 53-22 ATS as a home favorite off a SU win, if their foe was off a SU/ATS loss.  Take Stanford.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Creighton Bluejays minus the points over Butler.  The Bluejays are riding a 3-0 SU/ATS win streak.  We'll take Creighton tonight, as it's won 11 of the last 15 meetings vs. Butler.  And it's also a solid 31-16-1 ATS as a favorite if it was on a 3-game (or better) SU/ATS win streak.  Take the Bluejays.

At 7 pm our selection is on the Marquette Golden Eagles + the points over Seton Hall.  Marquette is 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Pirates.  And Marquette is also 6-1 ATS its last seven as a home underdog.  Grab the points with Shaka Smart's men.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Bowling Green Falcons minus the points over Miami-Ohio.  The RedHawks are on a 3-game ATS win streak.  But Bowling Green has gone 26-4 SU and 21-7-2 ATS as a favorite (or PK) in Mid-American Conference games if its opponent was on a 3-game (or better) ATS win streak.  Lay the points with Bowling Green.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Illinois.  The Volunteers were 8-4 this season, but just 3-6 ATS, including a 45-24 blowout loss at the hands of rival Vanderbilt to end their 2025 campaign.  We'll lay the points with the Vols as favorites of -3 (or more) points have cashed 61.8% in the Bowls off a loss by 20+ points.  Take Tennessee.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers + the points over Louisiana Tech.  The Chanticleers were crushed, 59-10, by James Madison to end their season.  But I like them to rebound here, in this Independence Bowl game, as NCAA teams have gone 8-0 ATS the last 15 post-seasons (and 15-4 ATS since 1980) off a loss by 45+ points.  Take Coastal Carolina.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Houston.  Indiana has lost its last eight games.  We'll grab the big number with Rick Carlisle's men tonight, as Indiana is 29-12-2 ATS as double-digit underdogs off back to back losses.  Take the Pacers.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over Chicago.  The T-Wolves lost a heartbreaker on Christmas in overtime, 142-138, at Denver.  And then it followed that game up with another loss -- 123-107 -- at home vs. Brooklyn.  We'll take the Timberwolves to bounce back tonight, as they're 9-1 ATS their last 10 off back-to-back losses.  Additionally, the Wolves fall into a 95-50 ATS system of mine which plays on certain road favorites off back-to-back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Washington.  The Wizards pulled off upset wins in their last two games, vs. Toronto and Memphis.  We'll fade Washington tonight, as double-digit home dogs have cashed just 41% since 1990 off back to back upset wins.  Lay the points with the Suns.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers minus the points over Kent St.  The Golden Flashes have struggled mightily vs. the Big 10, going 2-9 ATS their last 11.  They're stepping up in class tonight as Purdue is ranked among the Top 5 in the country.  Purdue is a terrific 95-67-1 ATS when favored by 15+ points.  And Kent falls into a negative 85-186 ATS system of mine which plays against certain road teams.  Take Purdue.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers + the points over Georgia Southern.  The Mountaineers' scoring defense rates 4.33 ppg better than that of the Eagles, who are giving up 34.1 ppg.  And Georgia Southern's scoring defense was the worst of any of the 64 teams playing in the post-season this year.  I don't like laying points with bad defensive teams in the Bowls.  Indeed, Bowl favorites (or PK) that surrender 30 (or more) ppg have covered just 36% since 1990 if they also had a worse scoring defense than their opponent.  Take Appalachian St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, in an EARLY afternoon game, our selection is on the Penn State Nittany Lions minus the points over North Carolina Central.  Penn State comes into this game off 3 straight losses to Indiana, Michigan St., and Pittsburgh.  It will no doubt be relieved to be playing the 4-10 Eagles, as it is heavily favored today.  We'll lay the points, as Penn State is 25-13-1 ATS when priced from -15.5 to -25.5 points.  Even better:  the Nittany Lions are 13-6 ATS their last 19 off 3+ losses.  And, since 1990, they've cashed 58% of non-conference games off back to back defeats.  Lay the points with Penn State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 9:15 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars over LSU.  The Tigers have a poor ground game, and only average 3.4 ypr.  I don't mind playing on such teams in Bowl games if they're getting 5+ points.  But when not getting 5+ points, Bowl teams with poor ground games cover just 38.5%.  Take Houston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers + the points over Houston.  The Cavaliers lost a heart-breaker to the Knicks on Thursday, while the Rockets blew out the Lakers.  Cleveland is a solid 47-33 ATS off a SU loss vs. foes off a SU win, including 17-7 ATS when getting 4+ points.  Take Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Cavaliers plus the points over Missouri.  The Cavaliers stumbled in the ACC Championship game, as they were upset by Duke, 27-20, as a 3.5-point favorite.  We'll take UVA to bounce back, as it's 76-55-2 ATS as an underdog off a SU loss, including 20-9-1 ATS if off an upset loss.  And SEC Conference teams are a soft 5-13-1 ATS in the Bowls off a SU win, if priced from -3 to -7 points.  Take Virginia.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Orlando Magic + the points over Denver.  The Nuggets survived in Overtime to knock off Minnesota on Christmas night.  Off that win, we'll fade Denver on the road vs. the Magic.  Denver is 36-60 ATS on the road, if favored off a point spread win.  Grab the points with Orlando.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Phoenix.  This is the 2nd game in as many nights between these two teams (both played in New Orleans).  Phoenix won Round 1 last night, 115-108.  We'll take the Pelicans in the re-match, as home dogs have cashed 57% since 1990 when playing the same opponent in back to back regular season games, if it lost to that opponent in the previous game.

At 5:45 pm, our selection is on the San Diego St. Aztecs + the points over North Texas.  The Aztecs' defense is giving up just 12.58 ppg, which is 12.33 ppg less than the Mean Green's defense.  I like playing on underdogs in Bowl games with a scoring defense at least 7.5 ppg better than their foe.  Since 1990, they've cashed 60%.  Take the Aztecs + the points.

At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the Penn State Nittany Lions + the points over Clemson.  This Pinstripe Bowl game will be played at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York.  This is the 15th Pinstripe Bowl game, and favorites have gone 5-9 in the first 14.  The Tigers have also struggled as a Bowl favorite, including 2-9 ATS when priced from -1 to -6 points.  Likewise, ACC Conference teams have been subpar in the Bowls vs. Big 10 foes, including 3-15 SU and 4-14 ATS their last 18.  The Nittany Lions never lived up to their preseason #1 ranking, but righted themselves after losing QB Drew Allar to injury in their loss to Northwestern on October 11.  Since that game, they went 4-2 ATS (after going 0-5 ATS in their five FBS games to start the season).  Clemson falls into a negative 105-158 ATS Bowl system of mine, and we'll fade the Tigers on this Saturday.  Grab the points with Penn State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, in the First Responder Bowl, our selection is on the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners minus the points over Florida International.  This game will be played in Dallas, Texas, just a few hours up I-35 from the Roadrunners campus.  So, UTSA will have a lot of supporters in the stands.  American Conference teams have dominated Conference USA foes, going 28-10 SU and 22-16 ATS, including 5-0 SU/ATS in the last five Bowl match-ups.  The Roadrunners stumbled at home in their final regular season game, losing to Army, 27-24, as an 8.5-point favorite.  We had a big play on Army in that game, but will switch gears and play on the Roadrunners off that SU loss.  Indeed, Texas-San Antonio is 16-1 ATS off a SU loss to a conference foe, including 3-0 in the post-season.  We'll lay the points with the Roadrunners, who fall into 139-82 and 105-65 ATS Bowl systems of mine.  Take Texas-San Antonio.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Denver.  The road team has dominated this Northwest division rivalry, going 60-23-1 ATS, including two double-digit wins by the Nuggets at Minnesota this season.  This will be the first game in Denver, and we'll grab the points with the revenge-minded Timberwolves.  Indeed, Minnesota is 32-15 ATS vs. foes that won at Minnesota in the previous meeting.  Finally, the T-Wolves fall into a very good 140-82 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams with double-revenge.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Kansas City Chiefs + the points over Denver.  The Chiefs were blown out last week, 26-9, by Tennessee.  We'll take KC at home today, as double-digit underdogs have gone 134-102 ATS since 1980.  And the Chiefs are 54-27 ATS vs. division rivals, if KC was off a SU loss.  Grab the points.

At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Lions minus the points over the Minnesota Vikings.  Dan Campbell's men are 32-12 ATS vs. foes NOT off a straight-up loss.  And Detroit is also 56-32-2 ATS when playing with revenge vs. a division rival which defeated Detroit in the season's first meeting.  With Detroit, indeed, playing with revenge from a 27-24 upset loss, we'll lay the points with the Lions this afternoon.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 2:40 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over San Antone.  The Spurs walloped OKC on Tuesday, 130-110.  And that was the Spurs' 2nd win in as many meetings vs. the defending champions this season.  However, neither of those two games was played here, in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder have won 17 straight games (12-5 ATS).  I expect the Thunder to come out with a bunch of energy in front of their home faithful, and to blow out San Antonio.  OKC is 23-9 ATS at home when playing with revenge.  And it is 112-83-4 ATS at home off a SU/ATS loss, including 39-20 ATS when playing with double-revenge.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers + the points over the New York Knicks.  These two teams met on Opening Night, and the Knicks prevailed, 119-111.  But that was New York's first win in the series after losing the previous four meetings, SU/ATS.  We'll fade New York in this Christmas Day game, as New York has mightily struggled on the holiday.  Since 1990, the Knicks are 4-13 ATS on Christmas, including an ATS loss last season vs. San Antonio.  And, since winning the NBA Cup nine days ago, the Knicks are 0-4 ATS.  Grab the points with Cleveland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors over the California Golden Bears.  The Golden Bears upset SMU, 38-35, to end the season.  Unfortunately, the Bears are a brutal 0-12 ATS their last 12 FBS games (and 1-17 ATS their last 18 FBS games) off an upset win, if the point spread on their current game was 4 points or less.  Hawaii also won its regular season finale, and will play this Hawaii Bowl game in front of their home faithful.  And we will take Hawaii, as it's 13-0 ATS its last 13 FBS games at home when not laying more than 10 points, covering the point spread by an average of 13.73 ppg in those 13 ATS wins.  Hawaii is also 7-2 ATS in the Bowls when the line was less than 9 points, while California is 2-6 ATS its last eight Bowl games (0-3 ATS as an underdog).  Take Hawaii.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  We played on L.A. vs. the Lakers on Sunday, and got the $$$ with an upset win.  But the Clippers are 1-7 ATS their last eight off a SU win.  And they're 24-40-1 ATS at home vs. Houston, including 8-22-1 ATS as an underdog.  Meanwhile, the Rockets were upset, in overtime, by the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.  Houston, though, is 21-5 ATS off an upset loss.  Take the Rockets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers + the points over Phoenix.  The Lakers were upset by the Clippers on Sunday night.  Off that upset loss, we'll take L.A. to bounce back on Tuesday.  Phoenix is a putrid 11-35 ATS vs. foes off an upset loss, including 2-26 ATS vs. .545 (or better) foes.  Take Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over New York.  The Knicks won by 23 points vs. Minnesota at Madison Square Garden earlier this season.  But New York will be without Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby for this game.  We'll take Minnesota, as rested, revenge-minded Northwest division teams, with a .600 (or better) win percentage, have cashed 63% at home if they were off a SU win.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the New Orleans Pelicans.  The Cavs are on a 6-game ATS losing streak, while the Pelicans have covered six straight.  We'll take Cleveland, as winning teams have cashed 57.9% on 3-game (or worse) ATS losing streaks vs. foes on 3-game (or better) ATS win streaks.  Lay the points.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over Chicago.  This is the 2nd of back to back meetings between these two teams.  Chicago won here, at Atlanta, 152-150, on Sunday.  We'll take the Hawks in this re-match, as regular season home favorites, off upset home losses to the same opponent in their previous game, have cashed 57% since 1990.  Take the Hawks.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Seton Hall Pirates minus the points over Villanova.  The Pirates lost all three meetings to the Wildcats last season, including a 67-55 loss in the Big East Tournament.  We'll take the revenge-minded Pirates as a home favorite tonight, as NCAA favorites have cashed 55.1% when playing with revenge from 3 losses the previous season.  The Pirates are off to an 11-1 start this season, including a 3-game ATS win streak.  We'll fade the Wildcats, who are 28-37-4 ATS as an underdog away from home.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Morgan State Bears + the points over Loyola Marymount.  This is the Bears' 3rd straight game on the West Coast, as it also played at Cal-Berkeley and San Francisco in the previous four days.  It lost both of those games SU/ATS by 30+ points.  I like Morgan State to bounce back tonight, as it's cashed 64% off back to back SU/ATS losses, including 73% vs. foes off a SU win.  Loyola Marymount is a horrid 15-39 ATS as a home favorite vs. foes off a double-digit loss.  Take Morgan State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the St. Mary's Gaels minus the points over Northern Iowa.  St. Mary's has dominated non-conference foes here, at home, in Moraga, as it's 143-17 SU and 70-46-4 ATS, including 24-10 ATS vs. foes with a win percentage greater than .700.  Take St. Mary's.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Grizz come into this game off an upset loss at the hands of the woeful Washington Wizards.  Memphis is a huge underdog tonight vs. the defending champs.  We'll grab the points, as Memphis is a solid 100-63-2 ATS as an underdog of more than 11 points off a SU loss.  Meanwhile, defending champs are a soft 115-143 ATS when favored vs. a non-division foe off an upset loss (including 19-38 ATS as a double-digit favorite).  Take Memphis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Indianapolis Colts + the points over San Francisco.  The Colts are 8-6, and have lost each of their last 4 games, including an 18-16 defeat at Seattle eight days ago, as a 13-point road underdog.  The Colts are 63-39-2 ATS off a SU loss, including 35-20-1 ATS as an underdog.  Even better:  .600 (or worse) home underdogs off a SU loss have gone 259-200-14 ATS in the final three weeks of the season, including 17-10 on Monday Night Football.  Take Indianapolis + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin Badgers minus the points over Central Michigan.  The Badgers lost their two previous games to Nebraska and Villanova.  But each of those was away from home; Wisconsin is 4-2 ATS in Madison this season, and it's 27-12 ATS at home off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Tonight, it will welcome the Chippewas, who come in off a narrow, 1-point loss at Northern Illinois.  The Big 10 has dominated the Mid-American Conference, going 251-37 SU and 157-125-5 ATS, including 20-8 ATS when favored by 25+ points.  Take Wisconsin.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Tigers minus the points over Alabama St.  The Tigers lost at Miss State, 71-66, on Saturday, which was its 3rd straight defeat.  We'll lay the points with Memphis tonight, as it's 17-10-1 ATS off 3+ losses, and 59% ATS since 1990 in non-conference games off back to back losses.  Take the Tigers.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Charlotte.  Eight days ago, the Hornets handed the Cavs a home defeat, 119-111.  The Hornets were 12-point underdogs in that game.  We'll take the Cavaliers tonight, as NBA revenge-minded teams that lost as a 12-point (or greater) favorite to their opponent in the previous meeting have cashed 60%.  Even better:  the Cavs are 51-27 ATS when favored by 6+ points vs. losing foes, if the Cavs were off back to back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento Kings + the points over Houston.  The Kings have dropped five straight games after last night's 98-93 loss to Portland.  Houston also played last night, as it went into Ball Arena and defeated Denver, 115-101.  We'll fade Houston, as it's 1-12 ATS when playing without rest, including 0-8 ATS on the road.  Take Sacramento.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:20 pm, our selection is on the Baltimore Ravens minus the points over New England.  Baltimore has been dominant vs. winning opposition, if it was a non-division game, going 88-52-6 ATS, including 44-19-2 ATS as a favorite.  Lay the points with John Harbaugh's men.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Dakota Fighting Hawks plus the points over Nebraska.  The Cornhuskers won their two previous games -- both against Big 10 competition -- and covered the point spread by 28 and 12.5 points in those two victories.  They're stepping outside of the Big 10 tonight to take on the Fighting Hawks from the Summit League.  We'll fade Nebraska, as it's covered just 36% as a double-digit favorite off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Take North Dakota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Washington.  The Wizards upset Memphis, 130-122, last night, as a 12-point dog.  Off that big win, we'll fade the Wizards this evening, as San Antonio is 46-26 ATS as a road favorite vs. Eastern Conference foes off a SU/ATS win.  And the Spurs are 98-69-2 ATS when favored vs. unrested foes.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cal Irvine Anteaters minus the points over North Dakota St.  This game will be part of the annual Sun Bowl Invitational in El Paso, Texas.  The Bison have won their last five games.  But they're a wallet-breaking 10-21 ATS off 5+ wins, including 5-13 ATS away from home.  Take Cal Irvine.

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Cardinals + the points over Atlanta.  The Cardinals are playing their final home game of the season, and they enter on a 6-game losing streak.  I love Arizona to break their skein this afternoon, as they fall into 72-40, 32-3, and 119-65 "Last Home Game" systems of mine.  In addition, the Cards are 63-36 ATS at home off back-to-back losses, including 37-13 ATS if their foe was off an ATS win.  With the Falcons in off an upset win over Tampa Bay, we'll fade the Falcons on this Sunday.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the New Mexico State Aggies minus the points over Sam Houston St.  The Aggies have lost their last three games, SU/ATS.  But those three games were played away from home.  Today's game is back in the friendly confines of Pan American Center, where the Aggies have won all four games this season (2-0 ATS).  We'll lay the points, as New Mexico State has cashed 67% since 1990 as a favorite off three SU/ATS losses.  Take the Aggies.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over Chicago.  The Bulls come in off back to back upset wins over Cleveland.  We'll fade Chicago, and take Atlanta, which is 94-63-2 ATS at home vs. non-division foes off back to back wins, provided Atlanta wasn't favored by 7+ points.  Take the Hawks.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma St. Cowboys minus the points over Cal State Fullerton.  The Titans come into this game off back to back wins where they scored 116 and 105 points.  Unfortunately, teams off two games where they scored 105+ points have covered the spread just 38% if they weren't favored by 5+ points in their current game.  Take Oklahoma St.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Valparaiso Beacons + the points over Murray St.  The Beacons come into this Missouri Valley Conference season opener off back to back losses, and have been installed as a home dog.  Valpo is a solid 32-21-1 ATS as an underdog in conference games off back to back losses.  And double-revenge-minded home teams have cashed 58% in Missouri Valley Conference season openers.  Grab the points.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Monmouth Hawks minus the points over Lehigh.  The Hawks were blown out by Lehigh, 90-63, last season.  With 27-point revenge, we'll lay the points with Monmouth, as it is 37-22 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss by more than 10 points.  Take Monmouth.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over Miami.  The Bengals were blasted, 24-0, by rival, Baltimore, last Sunday, while Miami fell on Monday night, 28-15, at Pittsburgh.  Off that shutout loss, we'll take Cincy to bounce back at Miami.  Indeed, teams off shutout losses have gone 83-52-5 ATS vs. foes also off a loss, including 41-21-1 ATS on the road.  The Bengals are 20-9-2 ATS their last 31 as a road favorite, Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Cowboys minus the points over the Los Angeles Chargers.  The Cowboys are playing their final home game of the season this afternoon, and will be looking to bounce back off blowout losses to Detroit and Minnesota.  Meanwhile, the Chargers come into this game off an upset win over rival, Kansas City.  We'll fade Los Angeles, and take Dallas, as NFL teams have cashed 62.1% in their final home game of the season, if they were off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, and their opponent was off an upset win.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints minus the points over the New York Jets.  The Flyboys were blown out by Miami (34-10) and Jacksonville (48-20) in their last two games, while the Saints are on a 2-game win streak, with upset wins over the Buccaneers and Panthers.  We'll ride with New Orleans, as favorites off back to back wins have cashed 68% since 1980 vs. foes off back to back losses by more than 18 points.  Take New Orleans.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Panthers + the points over Tampa Bay.  The Buccaneers have lost their last two games, and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six.  Unfortunately, I expect Tampa's winless ATS streak to reach seven games, as road favorites off back to back losses have cashed just 36.9% since 1980 in the season's final three weeks.  Take the home underdog Panthers + the points.

At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Clippers have dominated their cross-town rival, going 79-59-1 ATS, including 35-22 ATS when playing with revenge, and 29-13 ATS as an underdog of less than 9 points.  Take the Clippers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets over the Denver Nuggets.  The Rockets have lost the season's first two meetings against Denver, including a 3-point overtime loss earlier this week.  Houston is 48-22-3 ATS on the road vs. .625 (or better) foes, if Houston was off back to back losses.  Take Houston.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers plus the points over Santa Clara.  The Ramblers were blown out, 85-71, in their last game by the San Francisco Dons.  We'll grab the points with Loyola Chicago this afternoon, as teams have gone 56-25 ATS away from home vs. the Broncos, following losses by 7+ points, if they were not laying 7+ points in the current game.  Take Loyola.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Ohio U. Bobcats over Bowling Green.  The Bobcats have long been one of the better home teams (ATS) in College Basketball.  Since 1990, they've gone 242-185 ATS.  But the best part is when they didn't own a better record than their opponent.  In those games, Ohio is 120-74-3 ATS since 1990, including 94-48-1 ATS when the line was 6 points or less.  Take the Bobcats.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Utah State Aggies minus the points over Colorado St.  Last year, the Rams knocked the Aggies out of the Mountain West Tournament in the semi-final round.  I look for Utah State to avenge that defeat, as it falls into a 59.7% ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams with revenge from a Tournament defeat.  Utah State is also a strong 151-116-7 ATS as a home favorite in conference games, while Colorado St. is a poor 44-66-3 ATS as an underdog vs. revenge-minded conference foes.  Lay the points with Utah St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Kent State Golden Flashes + the points over UMass.  Kent State comes into this game off a double-digit upset loss at Portland last Sunday.  We'll take the Golden Flashes to bounce back, as they're 60-28 ATS off a SU loss, if they were matched-up against a conference foe off back-to-back wins.  Even better:  the Minutemen are 26-58-1 ATS off back to back ATS wins if they weren't favored by more than 3 points.  With UMass in off 5 straight wins and covers, we'll grab the points with Kent St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Texas A/M Aggies minus the points over Miami-Fla.  The Hurricanes come into this game off a 38-7 blowout win over Pittsburgh (their fourth straight win), while the Aggies lost at rival, Texas, 27-17, as a 3-point road favorite to end their regular season.  I look for the Aggies to redeem themselves here, at home, on Saturday afternoon.  Indeed, they're 24-9-2 ATS at home off a loss, if their opponent was off a win, including 9-2 ATS off an upset win.  Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are a horrid 16-38 ATS when playing with rest, including 6-23 ATS off back-to-back wins.  Lay the points with Mike Elko's men.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11:30 pm, our selection is on the Washington Huskies minus the points over Seattle.  The Huskies were upset at home, 79-70, as an 11.5-point home favorite last season by the Redhawks.  Since 1990, the Huskies have cashed 73.3% as a favorite when playing with revenge vs. non-conference foes.  And Seattle is 4-14 ATS its last 18 non-conference games when not getting more than 10 points.  Take the Huskies.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The T-Wolves have been installed as a big home underdog vs. the defending champs.  We'll grab the points, as Minnesota is 30-8 ATS as a home dog (or PK) vs. .581 (or better) division rivals, including 10-0-1 ATS when getting more than 7 points, and 10-1 ATS vs. unrested foes.  Take the Timberwolves.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners over Alabama.  These two teams met earlier this season, and the Sooners prevailed, 23-21, as a 6-point road underdog in Tuscaloosa.  And that was the 2nd straight win by Oklahoma in this series, as they won here, in Norman, last season, 24-3, as a 14-point home underdog.  I look for Oklahoma to make it three-in-a-row this evening, with the most important factor being its home field.  Oklahoma has been especially dominant at home in big games where both teams had winning records.  Indeed, since 1980, the Sooners have gone 41-12 SU and 34-19 ATS in such match-ups when priced as a favorite of less than 15 points (or PK).  Take Oklahoma.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks + the points over San Antonio.  These two teams met last month in the Alamo City, and the Spurs were victorious, 135-126.  Last night, the Hawks were upset, 133-126, at Charlotte, while the Spurs blew out the Wizards, 119-94.  San Antonio is a soft 59-102 ATS if it was off an ATS win, and playing an opponent off an ATS loss, provided the Spurs were not playing with revenge.  Take Atlanta.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida State Seminoles minus the points over Mississippi Valley St.  The Seminoles were slaughtered at Dayton, 97-69, on Tuesday.  Off that 28-point loss, we'll lay the points with Florida State tonight.  Since 1990, NCAA favorites of -22 (or more) points have cashed 63.1% off a loss by 22+ points.  Take Florida State.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Missouri State Bears minus the points over Arkansas St.  When these teams last met (in 2015), the Red Wolves blew out the Bears, 70-7.  But a lot has changed since then, as the Bears are now a Division 1 team, having joined Conference USA this season.  Missouri State had a successful first season as a Division 1 member, and went 7-5.  But the Bears lost their final two games to end the year, including an upset loss to Louisiana Tech on Thanksgiving weekend.  Over the last 3 years, the Red Wolves have played markedly better at home than away from home.  In Jonesboro, they've covered the spread by an average of 6.9 ppg.  But away from home, they've failed to cover the spread by 2.82 ppg (a difference of 9.72 ppg).  We'll take the Bears, as teams off back-to-back SU/ATS losses to end the season have cashed 57% in the Bowls since 1980 if they weren't favored by 3+ points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Little Rock Trojans + the points over Southern Indiana.  The Screaming Eagles made the jump to Division 1 three seasons ago, but have not made many friends 'in Vegas.'  Indeed, they're just 10-29-3 ATS when not getting 3+ points.  Little Rock has won the last four meetings, including wins by 18, 20, and 18 in the last three.  Take the Trojans + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Drake Bulldogs + the points over Murray St.  The Racers upset Akron, 115-100, on Saturday, while Drake was upset at home by North Dakota St.  We'll fade Murray State off its upset win, as it's covered just 33% since 1990 as a favorite off an upset win vs. a foe off an upset loss.  Take the Bulldogs + the points.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat minus the points over Brooklyn.  The Nets hammered Milwaukee, 127-82, on Sunday night, while Miami was upset by Toronto on Monday, 106-96.  We'll fade the Nets off that big win, as NBA teams have gone 29-47-5 ATS following a 45-point (or greater) win.  Additionally, the Heat are 71-46 ATS off an upset loss vs. foes off a SU win.  Take Miami.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Chicago.  The Cavs pulled a clunker on Sunday, when they were upset, 119-111, by the woeful Charlotte Hornets.  We'll take Cleveland to bounce back tonight, as they've cashed 70% on the road over the last 36 years following a SU loss as a double-digit favorite.  The Cavaliers are 12-1 SU and 8-5 ATS in the last 13 meetings with their division rival.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
