09-24-23 | Bears +12.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 10-41 | Loss | -104 | 105 h 47 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bears + the points over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears have started the season 0-2 SU/ATS, with an 18-point loss to Green Bay in Week 1, and a 10-point defeat last Sunday at Tampa. Meanwhile, KC is 1-1 SU/ATS as it lost to the Lions at home, but rebounded to take down the Jaguars in Jacksonville last week. I like taking underdogs in Week 3 off back to back double-digit losses, as they’ve covered 63% since 1980. Take Chicago. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-24-23 | Saints +2.5 v. Packers | Top | 17-18 | Win | 100 | 101 h 23 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints + the points over the Green Bay Packers. The Saints come into this week's game with one of the four best scoring defenses, along with Dallas, Baltimore and San Francisco. New Orleans has allowed just 16 ppg in its wins over Tennessee and Carolina. That bodes well for them in Week 3, as NFL teams have cashed 72.3% off a win in Week 2, if their defense was giving up less than 20 points per game, and their opponent was off a straight-up loss. Even better: New Orleans is a solid 68-49 ATS as a road underdog off an ATS loss/tie in its previous game. Take the Saints. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Bills v. Commanders +6.5 | Top | 37-3 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 21 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Washington Commanders + the points over the Buffalo Bills. The Commanders are a surprising 2-0 following wins over the Cardinals and Broncos, and have been installed as a big home underdog vs. Buffalo, which blew out the Raiders by 28 points at home last week. I'll take the home team, as winning home underdogs have gone 99-60 ATS since 1980 vs. foes off a 15-point (or greater) blowout home win. Take the Commanders. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Patriots -2.5 v. Jets | Top | 15-10 | Win | 100 | 101 h 21 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots minus the points over the New York Jets. The Patriots come into this divisional match-up off back to back home losses in which they were underdogs, and failed to cover the point spread. I'll take New England on the road vs. New York as NFL teams that failed to cover their first two games as underdogs have cashed 62% as favorites in Week 3. Also, the Patriots are 16-0 ATS in the regular season on the road off a straight-up home loss, when not favored by 7+ points. And the Jets are a miserable 68-120 ATS at home vs. foes that don't own a winning record. Take New England. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Texans +10 v. Jaguars | Top | 37-17 | Win | 100 | 101 h 21 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Houston Texans + the points over Jacksonville. I'm not a big fan of laying a lot of points with teams that don't have a winning record. And especially not against a winless team like Houston. Consider that .500 or worse teams are 69-109-3 ATS when laying 9 or more points to winless opposition. I’ll take the double-digits with Houston. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | James Madison v. Utah State +6.5 | Top | 45-38 | Loss | -105 | 108 h 55 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Utah State Aggies + the points over James Madison. The Dukes come into this game off an upset win of conference rival, Troy, and are now 3-0 on the season (but 1-2 ATS). Meanwhile, Utah State is 1-2 SU, but 2-1 ATS. We played against Utah State last Friday, and easily got the $$$ when Air Force blew out the Aggies, 39-21, as a 9-point favorite. We'll take Utah State to bounce back on Saturday, as Mountain West conference teams have cashed 59.3% vs. non-conference foes off upset wins. And James Madison also falls into a negative system of mine, which is 60-104 ATS since 1980, that goes against certain teams off upset conference wins. Take Utah State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | UAB v. Georgia -41.5 | Top | 21-49 | Loss | -110 | 108 h 35 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Georgia Bulldogs minus the points over UAB. The #1-ranked Bulldogs are 3-0 on the season, but 0-2-1 ATS in Vegas after escaping last week with a too-close-for-comfort, 24-14 win vs. South Carolina. We'll lay the points with Kirby Smart's men, as defending National Champs have covered 60.2% since 1980 as double-digit home favorites off an ATS loss. And Georgia is 35-1 SU and 27-9 ATS as a favorite of -3 (or more) points off an ATS loss, while UAB is 0-8 ATS its last eight games away from Birmingham. Take Georgia. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +3.5 | Top | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 108 h 31 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish + the points over Ohio State. The Irish have easily won their first three games behind the brilliant play of ex-Wake Forest QB, Sam Hartman. He's already passed for over 1000 yards, and has 13 TDs and 0 interceptions. In what will no doubt be a raucous South Bend environment, I would rather have the veteran presence of Hartman than the relative inexperience of Kyle McCord (who will be making just his 5th career start). The Irish have been installed as a home underdog vs. the Buckeyes, and we'll happily take the points, as Notre Dame is 19-8-1 ATS at home when priced from -2 to +6 points. Even better: Notre Dame plays this game with revenge from a 21-10 loss at Columbus last season. And undefeated, single-digit, revenge-minded home underdogs have cashed 58% of non-conference games since 1980. Take the Irish. Good luck as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Southern Miss -6.5 v. Arkansas State | Top | 37-44 | Loss | -110 | 107 h 58 m | Show |
At 7 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Southern Miss Golden Eagles minus the points over Arkansas State. The Red Wolves are 1-2 on the season, but 0-2 in games vs. FBS foes. And they've been outscored, 117-34 on the season, for a negative scoring margin of -27.66. That doesn't bode well here, as Southern Miss is 40-4 SU and 32-10-2 ATS as a favorites of less than 24 points vs. conference foes with a negative scoring margin of -8.5 points (or worse). Admittedly, Golden Eagles RB Frank Gore, Jr. did get injured in last week's loss to Tulane. But Southern Miss head coach, Will Hall, gave promising news Monday when he stated that Gore "had a great workout this morning. He's looking good." Regardless of whether Gore ultimately suits up on Saturday, we'll lay the points with the road favorite. Take the Golden Eagles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Colorado State +2.5 v. Middle Tennessee State | Top | 31-23 | Win | 100 | 107 h 55 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Colorado State Rams + the points over Middle Tennessee St. The Rams suffered a brutal overtime loss to rival Colorado last Saturday. But they easily covered the 23.5-point spread in defeat. Today, the Rams will be seeking revenge against an MTSU squad which defeated it last season, 34-19, in Fort Collins. The Rams are 8-1 ATS with revenge vs. non-conference foes when not getting 7+ points. And they're 50-24 ATS off a point spread win, when not getting 3+ points in their current game. Take Colorado State. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Central Michigan +15.5 v. South Alabama | Top | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 105 h 57 m | Show |
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Central Michigan Chippewas + the points over South Alabama. Last week, the Jaguars pulled off a huge upset win over Oklahoma State when they won, 33-7, as a 7-point road underdog. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, Sun Belt Conference teams have covered just 35.2% as favorites of more than 8 points following a non-conference upset win. That doesn't bode well for South Alabama on Saturday. Nor does the fact that Sun Belt teams have covered just 17 of 48 at home or neutral fields vs. Mid-American Conference foes. Take Central Michigan + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Oklahoma State +3.5 v. Iowa State | Top | 27-34 | Loss | -105 | 104 h 57 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys + the points over Iowa State. Both of these Big 12 teams come into this game off non-conference losses. The Cowboys were blown out in Stillwater, 33-7, by South Alabama, while Ohio upset the Cyclones, 10-7, in Athens. We'll grab the points with Mike Gundy's men, as they're 7-0 ATS off a 14-point (or worse) upset defeat. Take the Cowboys + the points. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Colorado v. Oregon -21 | Top | 6-42 | Win | 100 | 104 h 44 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks minus the points over Colorado. Both the Ducks and Buffaloes are 3-0 on the season. But there's still a wide disparity in talent, which is why Oregon is a sizable home favorite on Saturday afternoon. We'll lay the points with the Ducks, as they're 30-13-1 ATS at home after covering the spread by 7+ points in winning their previous game. And they're 8-2 ATS their last 10 games vs. Colorado. Take the Ducks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Boston College v. Louisville -13.5 | Top | 28-56 | Win | 100 | 104 h 32 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Louisville Cardinals minus the points over Boston College. We played on the Eagles last week, and got the $$$$ when they easily covered as a 26-point underdog at home vs. Florida State. But Boston College will be playing its first road game of the season on Saturday, and it's a poor 4-10 ATS its last 14 away from Chestnut Hill. That doesn't bode well for BC on Saturday afternoon. Nor does the fact that the Cardinals check in off a point spread defeat. And Louisville is a sensational 14-3-1 ATS off an ATS loss, including a perfect 7-0 ATS as a favorite. Take the Cardinals. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Rutgers v. Michigan -24 | Top | 7-31 | Push | 0 | 100 h 3 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over Rutgers. The Wolves are 3-0 and ranked #2 in the country, and lead the nation in defensive ppg (5.3). They've been without head coach, Jim Harbaugh, for their first 3 games, as he served a school-imposed suspension. But Harbaugh will be back on the sidelines this Saturday. And Michigan has gone 23-1 SU and 17-6-1 ATS in the regular season the past two seasons with Harbaugh, including 7-1-1 ATS when priced from -21 to -49 points. We'll lay the points with Michigan, as NCAA double-digit favorites off an ATS loss, have gone 12-1 ATS in Game 4, if they owned a defense that gave up less than 8 ppg. Meanwhile, undefeated, 3-0 teams (like Rutgers) off an ATS win, have cashed just 25% since 1980 when getting 20+ points. And Rutgers is also a soft 15-36 ATS when priced from +21.5 to +33.5 points. Take Michigan. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-21-23 | Giants +10 v. 49ers | Top | 12-30 | Loss | -110 | 37 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the New York Giants + the points over the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' defense has left a lot to be desired so far, this season. New York allowed 40 points to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, and then gave up 28 to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. But off those two awful defensive games, I actually look for a much better effort in Week 3. Indeed, NFL road teams not favored by 3 or more points, have gone 39-12-3 ATS in Week 3 if they allowed 62 or more points over their first two games, including a perfect 9-0-1 ATS off a straight up win. Take New York + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-21-23 | Georgia State v. Coastal Carolina -6.5 | Top | 30-17 | Loss | -110 | 60 h 32 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers minus the points over Georgia State. After blowing out Duquesne, 66-7, the Chanticleers are a perfect 3-0 ATS on the season, and will welcome the Panthers to Conway for this Sun Belt Conference opener. We'll lay the points with Coastal Carolina, as single-digit home favorites have covered 59.4% of conference games since 1980 after winning a game in which they scored 60+ points. Take the Chanticleers to blow out Georgia State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Giants -5.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 31-28 | Loss | -110 | 82 h 10 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Giants minus the points over Arizona. The Giants laid a goose egg last Sunday, as they were shut out, 40-0, by Dallas. Off that embarrassing defeat, we'll step in and lay the points with New York in Week 2. Indeed, road favorites (or PK) have covered 64% since 1980 off a division shutout loss. And the Giants are also a solid 42-23-1 ATS off a home point spread defeat. Take New York minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | 49ers v. Rams +8 | Top | 30-23 | Win | 100 | 82 h 7 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams + the points over San Francisco. The Rams pulled off a stunning Week 1 upset, when they blew out the Seattle Seahawks, 30-13, on the road. They will now welcome the 49ers to SoFi Stadium. We'll take the Rams as a huge underdog, as home dogs of +5 (or more) points have gone 72-53 ATS off a road upset win. And San Francisco is a wallet-busting 35-58 ATS away from home off a win by 13+ points, including 5-18 ATS when priced from -4 to -10 points. Take the Rams. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Bears +2.5 v. Bucs | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 79 h 9 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bears + the points over the Tampa Bay Bucs. Last week, the Bears were upset, 38-20, by their rival, Green Bay, while Tampa upset Minnesota, 20-17. If one looks at the yardage stats, however, one will see that Chicago was only outgained by 18 yards (329-311), while Tampa was outgained by 127 (369-242). The difference in the two games, of course, was turnovers. Chicago committed 2 turnovers (vs 0 for Green Bay), while Tampa forced 3 turnovers, and didn't commit any, itself. We'll fade Tampa off its upset win, as home favorites have covered just 31% since 1980 in Week 2 off an upset road victory, if its opponent was off an upset defeat. Grab the points with Chicago. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Seahawks +5 v. Lions | Top | 37-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 7 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Seahawks + the points over Detroit. The Lions upset the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs to kick off their season. But off that upset victory, we'll fade Detroit on Sunday. Indeed, over the past 43 years, home favorites have covered just 30.7% off an upset win over the defending Super Bowl champs, if they were matched up against a foe off an upset defeat. With Seattle in off an upset loss at the hands of the Rams, we'll grab the points with Pete Carroll's men. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Raiders v. Bills -9.5 | Top | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 79 h 2 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Buffalo Bills minus the points over the Las Vegas Raiders. Josh Allen could not have played worse last Monday, as he committed a key fumble, and also threw 3 interceptions. We didn't mind, as we had a big play on the Jets. But we'll switch gears, and take Buffalo to bounce back here, at home, in Week 2. The Bills are a solid 20-6 ATS as a home favorite off a road loss, when playing an opponent off a win. Lay the points. |
|||||||
09-17-23 | Packers v. Falcons +1 | Top | 24-25 | Win | 100 | 79 h 1 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Falcons over the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have been installed as a small road favorite following their upset win, 38-20, over division rival, Chicago. We'll fade Green Bay, as road favorites have covered just 33% since 1980 in Week 2 off upset wins on the road over a division rival to start the season. I look for Green Bay to have a letdown on Sunday. Take Atlanta. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Bowling Green v. Michigan -39.5 | Top | 6-31 | Loss | -110 | 39 h 60 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over Bowling Green. This will be the 3rd (and final) game of Jim Harbaugh's suspension for alleged NCAA violations. The Wolves have won both games in his absence, but have failed to cover the spread. I like Michigan to break through today with an ATS win, as it is 12-0 ATS as a home favorite of -14 (or more) points off back to back ATS defeats. Lay the wood. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | BYU +8 v. Arkansas | Top | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 39 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Brigham Young Cougars + the points over Arkansas. These two teams met last season in Provo, and the Razorbacks won, 52-35. We'll take the revenge-minded Cougars + the points in Fayetteville, as BYU is 22-4 ATS as revenge-minded road underdogs, including 8-0 ATS its last eight in this situation. Grab the points. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Syracuse v. Purdue +2.5 | Top | 35-20 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 53 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers + the points over Syracuse. The Orange have been stellar defensively to start the season. They allowed just 7 points last week in a 48-7 victory over Western Michigan, and shut out Colgate, 65-0, to kick off the season. They're now favored by a small amount on the road vs. Purdue, which won, 24-17, as a 1-point favorite last week at Virginia Tech. This is a revenge match for Purdue, which lost, 32-29, at Syracuse last season. We'll take the home underdog Boilermakers, as home dogs off a SU/ATS win have cashed 66% since 1981 in non-conference games vs. foes that gave up less than 10 points in their two previous games. Additionally, the Orange are 14-28-1 ATS in their last 43 games vs. revenge-minded foes. Take the Boilermakers + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Miami-OH +14.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 38 h 29 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Miami-Ohio RedHawks + the points over Cincinnati. The Bearcats pulled off a huge upset of the Pitt Panthers last week, 27-21. But off that upset win, we'll fade the Bearcats as a big favorite on Saturday. The RedHawks are playing with revenge from a 38-17 loss last season. And revenge-minded double digit underdogs have 65.6% since 1980 against non-conference foes off an upset win as a 3.5-point (or greater) underdog. Take Miami-Ohio. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Western Kentucky v. Ohio State -29.5 | Top | 10-63 | Win | 100 | 36 h 36 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Western Kentucky. Ryan Day's Buckeyes have gotten off to a slow start this season -- at least in Las Vegas -- as they're 0-2 ATS (though 2-0 SU). And they've failed to cover the point spread by double-digits in each win. Notwithstanding this lack of point spread success, we'll take Ohio State on Saturday, as it's 8-0 ATS its last eight (and 50-38-2 ATS its last 90) off back to back point spread defeats. Lay the points with the Buckeyes. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | East Carolina +8.5 v. Appalachian State | Top | 28-43 | Loss | -109 | 35 h 6 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates + the points over Appalachian State. The Mountaineers have been installed as a favorite of more than a TD vs. East Carolina, and we'll happily take the underdog Pirates, as Appalachian State is a horrid 0-13 ATS its last 13 when priced from +4 to -8.5 points. Take East Carolina. Good luck as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Northwestern +17 v. Duke | Top | 14-38 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm our selection is on the Northwestern Wildcats + the points over Duke. The Duke Blue Devils are 2-0 and ranked #21 in the country, and own an impressive win over then-No. 9 Clemson. On Saturday, the Blue Devils will host a Northwestern team in transition this season following the firing of longtime head coach Pat Fitzgerald. The Wildcats and Blue Devils have met each of the previous two seasons, and six of the last eight. And what’s most unusual is that Duke has won outright as an underdog in each of the last four meetings, including 31-23 as a double-digit road underdog last season. This year, of course, it’s Northwestern catching double-digits, and I’ll take the points with the Wildcats. For technical support, consider that teams playing with revenge that were upset in each of the previous three meetings have covered 58.3% the past 43 years, including 34-18-1 ATS, 65%, on the road. I know that Duke has been an ATM machine under 2nd-year head coach Mike Elko, as it’s gone 10-3 ATS. But it was only favored by more than 10 points one other time, and it failed to cover that game vs. Boston College as an 11.5-point favorite. Here, it’s laying considerably more than that, and my numbers say It’s too many points. Take Northwestern. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Georgia Southern v. Wisconsin -19.5 | Top | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 32 h 56 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Wisconsin Badgers minus the points over Georgia Southern. The Badgers were upset by the Washington State Cougars, 31-22, as a 5.5-point road favorite last Saturday. And that was the 2nd straight ATS defeat for Luke Fickell's men. We'll lay the points with Wisky in this game, as favorites of 14+ points have covered 83% since 1980 in Week 3, if they were off an upset loss, and were 0-2 ATS on the season. Last year, Wisconsin was upset four times, and was a perfect 4-0 SU/ATS off those upset defeats, winning by an average of 28 points (and covering by an average of 14.25). This will be a rout. Take the Badgers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Kansas State v. Missouri +4 | Top | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 32 h 55 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers + the points over Kansas State. The Tigers had a scare last week, as it won, 23-19, as a 21-point home favorite vs. Middle Tennessee. This Saturday, it will be a home underdog vs. the 15th-ranked Wildcats, who are 2-0 SU/ATS. I love Missouri in this game, as it's covered 75% over the past 43 years as a home dog off an ATS loss vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Meanwhile, K-State is a wallet-crushing 7-19 ATS on the non-conference road when not getting 17+ points, including 3-7 ATS as a road favorite. Take Missouri. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Liberty v. Buffalo +3 | Top | 55-27 | Loss | -105 | 32 h 44 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the Buffalo Bulls + the points over Liberty. The Bulls was shocked last week in an upset home loss to Fordham, 40-37, as a 22.5-point favorite. The Bulls are now installed as a home underdog vs. the 2-0 SU/ATS Flames, and we'll grab the points, as home dogs have cashed 60% since 1980 off an upset loss as a double-digit favorite if matched up against a non-conference foe off back to back ATS wins. Buffalo's also cashed 82% the last 22 years as underdogs vs. non-conference foes off a SU/ATS win. Take the Bulls. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-16-23 | Florida State v. Boston College +26.5 | Top | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 32 h 37 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Boston College Eagles + the points over Florida State. The Seminoles have sprinted out to a 2-0 SU/ATS start with blowout wins over LSU (45-24) and Southern Miss (66-13). In contrast, the Eagles are 0-2 ATS after being upset, 27-24, by Northern Illinois in Week 1, and narrowly defeating Holy Cross last week, 31-28, as as 10.5-point favorite. We'll fade Florida State as a big favorite on Saturday, as ACC Conference favorites of -7 (or more) points have gone 21-49-1 ATS off back to back ATS wins when playing an opponent off back to back ATS losses, including 0-9 ATS vs. foes off a SU win. Take Boston College. |
|||||||
09-15-23 | Utah State v. Air Force -9.5 | Top | 21-39 | Win | 100 | 4 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Air Force Falcons minus the points over Utah State. The Falcons come into this game playing with revenge from a 34-27 loss to the Aggies last season as an 11.5-point favorite. Both teams do come into this game off impressive wins. Utah State dispatched Idaho St, 78-28, while Air Force defeated Sam Houston St, 13-3. We're going to lay the points with Air Force, as revenge-minded home favorites have covered 67% since 1980 vs. foes that scored 63+ points the previous week. Take Air Force. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

|||||||
09-15-23 | Virginia v. Maryland -14.5 | Top | 14-42 | Win | 100 | 37 h 13 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over Virginia. The Terps will host a former ACC Conference rival, Virginia, on Friday night. Maryland left the ACC for the Big 10 Conference in 2014, but has gone 4-1 SU/ATS vs. the ACC since then. And the Terrapins have also been terrific since 1980 as a home favorite of -7 (or more) points vs. ACC schools, as they've covered 63.8%. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are 1-14 SU and 2-13 ATS as road underdogs vs. foes off back to back ATS losses. Take Maryland minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-15-23 | Army +8 v. UTSA | Top | 37-29 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Army Black Knights + the points over Texas San Antonio. QB Frank Harris suffered a toe injury in last week's win, but managed to play through the pain, and guided the Roadrunners to the win over Texas State. He's questionable to play tonight. Regardless, we're going to go against Texas San Antonio, and grab the points with Army. The Black Knights play this game with revenge from a 41-38 loss at home to UTSA last season, and fall into a 228-145-5 ATS revenge system of mine. Additionally, the Roadrunners are a dismal 1-15 ATS their last 16 when priced from -6.5 to -10.5 points. Take Army. Good luck, a always...Al McMordie. |

09-11-23 | Bills v. Jets +2.5 | Top | 16-22 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over the Buffalo Bills. The Jets are looking for big things this season behind newly-acquired QB Aaron Rodgers. And it all starts tonight, in a Week 1 game against division rival, Buffalo. We'll grab the points with New York, as Aaron Rodgers has gone 73-43-4 ATS at home in his career starts, including 6-1-1 ATS as an underdog, and 29-13 ATS in division games. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are a wallet-busting 9-16-1 ATS as a division road favorite. Take New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Dolphins v. Chargers -3 | Top | 36-34 | Loss | -109 | 154 h 27 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers minus the points over the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers are my Futures Pick this season at 25-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. I expect a major leap forward for Brandon Staley’s men and one of my primary reasons is the hire of Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator. When Moore was with the Cowboys the past 4 seasons, Dallas’s offense ranked among the Top 4 in the league over that 4-year stretch. The Chargers added rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnson, who was their first round draft pick, and he’ll team up with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to give 4th year QB Justin Herbert a trio of quality receivers to throw downfield. And, of course, the Chargers have Austin Ekeler in the backfield, so the pieces are there to make a Super Bowl run. The Chargers are 15-2-1 ATS in season openers when not favored by 4+ points, including a perfect 10-0 ATS in non-division games. Take Los Angeles to blow out Miami. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Eagles v. Patriots +4 | Top | 25-20 | Loss | -110 | 154 h 26 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over Philadelphia. The Patriots have been installed as a home underdog vs. the defending NFC Conference champs, and I’ll grab the points with Bill Belichick's men. New England is 31-16-1 ATS as a home underdog (or PK), including 23-7 ATS vs. non-division foes, while Philly is a poor 10-22 ATS as a road favorite of -3 (or more) points, including 3-12 ATS in non-division games. Even worse for the Eagles: the teams that lost the Super Bowl the previous year have gone 12-32-2 ATS as a non-division road favorite of -4 or less points vs. non-division foes. Finally, the Underdog is 8-3 ATS in this series. Take the Patriots + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Bengals v. Browns +2.5 | Top | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 5 h 39 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns + the points over the Cincinnati Bengals. Division home dogs in the month of September are 51-29 ATS their last 80. And the underdog |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Auburn v. California +6.5 | Top | 14-10 | Win | 103 | 108 h 47 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears + the points over Auburn. We played on the Tigers last week as our NCAA Football Game of the Week, and were rewarded with a 59-14 massacre of UMass. But off that 45-point triumph, we'll switch gears, and fade the Tigers in Berkeley on Saturday night. Like Auburn, California's offense was in high gear last weekend, as they annihilated North Texas, 58-21, as a 5-point road favorite. California piled up 669 yards of offense, and allowed the Mean Green just 225. Auburn is 0-6 ATS its last six non-conference road games, and has covered just 28% as a non-conference road favorite over the last 40 seasons. Take California + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Temple +9.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 7-36 | Loss | -110 | 104 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Temple Owls + the points over Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights won their season-opener, 24-7, at home vs. Northwestern. But Rutgers is a poor 3-12 ATS off a point spread win, including 1-8 ATS at home. Temple also will be looking to avenge a home loss to the Scarlet Knights last season. And the Owls are a sensational 75-34-5 ATS when playing with revenge, and priced as an underdog of less than 23 points. Take Temple. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Oregon v. Texas Tech +7 | Top | 38-30 | Loss | -115 | 104 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders + the points over Oregon. The Ducks put up 81 points last week in an 81-7 pummeling of Portland State. We'll go against Oregon on the road in Lubbock, as NCAA road teams have covered just 36% in Week 2 since 1990 after scoring more than 65 points in their season opener. Even better: Texas Tech is 15-0 ATS as a home underdog priced from +4 to +18 points off a SU/ATS loss. Take the Red Raiders + the points. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | SMU v. Oklahoma -16 | Top | 11-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 59 m | Show |
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners minus the points over SMU. The Mustangs blew out Louisiana Tech, 38-14, last Saturday, in their season opener. Unfortunately, SMU is a wallet breaking 0-9 ATS its last nine (and 13-25 ATS its last 38) road games off a win by 15+ points, and 6-22 ATS on the road after scoring 38+ points. Take Oklahoma minus the points. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Texas A&M v. Miami-FL +5 | Top | 33-48 | Win | 100 | 101 h 10 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Miami-Fla Hurricanes + the points over Texas A&M. The Aggies walloped New Mexico, 52-10, as a 38-point home favorite last Saturday. But the Aggies have a massive step-up in class this weekend, as they will have to go into Hard Rock Stadium to take on a Hurricanes squad riding high after its season-opening 38-3 win over Miami-Ohio. The Hurricanes have cashed 68% since 1980 as home underdogs vs. non-conference foes, while Texas A&M is 0-15 ATS away from home in the regular season vs. .600 (or better) foes, if the Aggies weren't getting more than 14 points. Take Miami-Fla + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Nebraska +3.5 v. Colorado | Top | 14-36 | Loss | -115 | 97 h 17 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers + the points over Colorado. The Buffaloes pulled off a massive upset last week, when they went into Fort Worth, and knocked off the Horned Frogs, 45-42, as a 21-point underdog. But off that stunning win, I'll look for a letdown on Saturday, as home favorites off an upset win as a double-digit underdog to kick off the season have covered just 35 percent over the last 43 years. Grab the points with Nebraska. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Notre Dame v. NC State +7.5 | Top | 45-24 | Loss | -108 | 97 h 14 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the North Carolina State Wolfpack + the points over Notre Dame. NC State kicked off its season with a win at Connecticut, 24-14, last week, and will welcome the 2-0 Fighting Irish into Carter-Finley Stadium for their home opener. The Irish come into Raleigh off back to back stifling defensive performances. Notre Dame blew out Navy, 42-3, in Dublin, and then trounced Tennessee State, 56-3, in South Bend. But off those two games, we'll fade the Irish as a road favorite on Saturday. Indeed, since 1980, road favorites have covered just 25% vs. winning teams in Game 3, if our road favorite didn't give up more than 7 points combined in their first two games. NC State has won its last 13 home openers, straight-up, and I look for an upset win in this early game on Saturday. Grab the points with NC State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-02-23 | UMass v. Auburn -35 | Top | 14-59 | Win | 100 | 25 h 6 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers minus the points over the Massachusetts Minutemen. Last week, we had our College Football Game of the Month on UMass +7 over New Mexico State, and were rewarded with a 41-30 upset win by Don Brown's troops. UMass has now matched its win total for each of the last three full seasons, as it went 1-11 in each of 2019, 2021 and 2022 (it went 0-4 in the COVID-shortened 2020 season). But even though victorious, the Minutemen were out-yarded by the Aggies, 458-389. The difference in the game, of course, was turnovers. UMass held onto the ball, while New Mexico State coughed it up 3 times. It would be folly to expect that kind of turnover luck to continue here, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Moreover, since 2019, the Minutemen have been miserable against the spread, including 0-15 SU and 3-12 ATS when priced from +23 to +38 points. Meanwhile, Auburn has gone 26-19 ATS in that point spread range. Off that big upset win, we'll fade UMass, as it falls into a 'letdown' system of mine which has cashed 69.6% since 1988. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-27-23 | Texans +3.5 v. Saints | Top | 17-13 | Win | 100 | 66 h 35 m | Show |
At 8 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Houston Texans + the points over the New Orleans Saints. We played against Houston last Saturday and easily cashed Miami, which blew out the Texans, 28-3. Meanwhile, the Saints went into Los Angeles, and downed the Chargers, 22-17, as a 3-point road favorite. New Orleans is a horrible 17-32-1 ATS as a home favorite in the preseason when laying more than 2 points, while Houston is 14-3 ATS as a road underdog in the preseason when getting more than 2 points. That bodes well for the Texans here. As does the fact that teams off blowout losses by more than 20 points have covered 60.4% in the preseason when playing away from home. Grab the points with Houston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | UMass +7.5 v. New Mexico State | Top | 41-30 | Win | 100 | 101 h 34 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Massachusetts Minutemen + the points over New Mexico State. After coaching UMass from 2004 to 2008 (the best 5-year period in UMass' football history), Don Brown returned to Amherst last season to man the sidelines again. Last season, UMass struggled to a 1-11 record, which was the 3rd straight full season it went 1-11. This year, UMass will look to improve on that record, and it will open the 2023 season against a team which it lost to each of the past two years. The Aggies won, 44-27, in 2021, as a 7 point home favorite. And then, last season, they went into Amherst, and down the Minutemen, 23-13, in a PK'em game. We'll play on the double-revenge-minded Minutemen, as the Aggies are a poor 3-17 ATS at home when playing an opponent it defeated the previous season, including 0-7 ATS as a home favorite of less than 8 points. And they're 4-11 ATS vs. teams they defeated each of the two previous seasons, including 1-7 ATS at home. Grab the points with UMass. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Browns -3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 32-33 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns over the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, the Browns tied the Philadelphia Eagles, 18-18, while KC blew out Arizona, 38-10. But off that 28-point blowout win, we'll fade Andy Reid's men this afternoon. The Chiefs have been installed as a home underdog. Unfortunately, since 1983, home dogs of more than 3 points have covered just 27 percent in the preseason off a win by more than 8 points. That bodes well for the Browns. As does the fact that the Chiefs are a wallet-crushing 20-49-1 ATS in the preseason when not favored by 2 (or more) points, including 4-24 ATS vs. foes off a win/tie in their previous game. Lay the points with Cleveland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Cowboys +7 v. Seahawks | Top | 14-22 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Cowboys + the points over Seattle. The Cowboys have been installed as a big underdog vs. Seattle. I've never been a fan of laying this many points in a preseason game, as favorites of more than 6 points have covered just 42% since 1983, including 35% off a double-digit win. With Seattle, indeed, off a 24-13 win vs. Minnesota, we'll fade the Seahawks, and take the points with Dallas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Patriots +3 v. Packers | Top | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over Green Bay. The Jordan Love era got off on the right foot last week, as the Packers destroyed Cincinnati, 36-19. Meanwhile, New England stumbled in its opener, and fell to Houston, 20-9. But we'll take the Patriots to bounce back, as teams off a loss have covered 58% vs. foes that scored 35+ points the previous week. Take New England. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Bucs +3.5 v. Jets | Top | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers + the points over the New York Jets. We played on the Jets last week vs. Carolina, and were rewarded with a 27-0 upset win. Unfortunately for New York, teams that are favored (or Pk'em) off shutout wins have covered just 38% in the preseason. Take Tampa Bay + the points. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Dolphins +2 v. Texans | Top | 28-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Miami Dolphins + the points over the Houston Texans. Houston has been installed as a favorite this week following its 20-9 win at New England in Week 1. This afternoon, Houston will take on the Dolphins, who out-yarded the Atlanta Falcons, 317-227, in their opener, but lost, 19-3. The reason the Dolphins lost was turnovers. Miami coughed up the football four times, while the Falcons committed zero turnovers. We'll take Miami to bounce back off that embarrassing defeat, as NFL road underdogs with a scoring margin at least 27 points worse than their opponent have covered 63% since 1983 in Week 2. Meanwhile, teams like Houston, off a double-digit road win in Week 1 have covered just 43% in Week 2. Grab the points with Miami. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Bengals +6.5 v. Falcons | Top | 13-13 | Win | 100 | 38 h 25 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals + the points over the Atlanta Falcons. The Bengals were blown out at home, 36-19, by Green Bay last week, and have been installed as a huge underdog this week. We'll grab the points, as underdogs of more than 6 have covered 57.4 percent in the preseason since 1983. Even better: the Falcons are a miserable 15-35 ATS their last 50 preseason games, including 5-20 ATS at home. Take Cincinnati + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-12-23 | Jets +3.5 v. Panthers | Top | 27-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over the Carolina Panthers. QB Aaron Rodgers didn't play in last week's 21-16 upset loss to the Cleveland Browns, and he won't play again today vs. the Panthers. So, the Panthers have been installed as a big favorite, in Frank Reich's debut as head coach. But I will happily take the points with the Jets, as the Panthers have covered just 3 of 16 preseason games vs. foes off an upset loss, provided the Panthers weren't also off an upset loss. Grab the points with New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-05-23 | Pirates v. Brewers -1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -124 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers minus 1.5 runs over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It wasn't that long ago that the Brewers featured a "big three" of starting pitching consisting of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta. Fast forward to 2023 and Woodruff has been shelved since April (but may return tomorrow) while Peralta is in a funk which has lasted most of the last two seasons. That leaves Burnes, who at 28-years-old is still considered one of the best RH starters in the Majors. In 22 starts this season, Burnes is 9-6 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 136 strikeouts in 133 1/3 innings. And in six July starts, his ERA was a sensational 1.85. But most importantly for tonight, Burnes is a Pirate slayer as in 21 career appearances vs. Pittsburgh -- including nine starts -- Burnes is 7-1 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 80 strikeouts in just under 70 innings. Those seven victories represent the most that Burnes has logged against any team in the Majors. The Brewers are also 23-10 (+13 games on the money line) in their last 33 games against NL Central opponents. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

|||||||
08-01-23 | Angels v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves -1.5 runs over the Los Angeles Angels. You can't get more contrasted than the Angels and Braves right now. One is an American League team struggling to stay in contention and as a result acquiring players left and right at the deadline. The other is an NL club with the best record in baseball and unlikely to make many if any moves before Tuesday night. The Halos drew first blood in this series on Monday night so tonight Atlanta will turn to its strikeout machine, RH Spencer Strider in Game 2. The 24-year-old flame-thrower has already matched his win total from last season (11) and Strider is also just three punch-outs shy of the 202 he put up in his rookie season. Tonight will be Strider's first career start vs. the Angels and in 11 career inter-league appearances -- 10 starts -- he is 4-2 with a 3.29 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 63 innings. After a strange month of June in which he went 4-0 but posted an ugly 5.06 ERA, Strider turned it around in July logging a 3.73 ERA in five starts. The Braves are 9-2 in his last 11 starts (winning each of the nine games by 2 or more runs). Take Atlanta minus 1.5 runs. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-13-23 | Panthers +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -170 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:20 pm, our selection is on the Florida Panthers +1.5 goals over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Panthers are one loss away from elimination in the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, and though they are down, they are definitely not out. After an inspired home comeback victory in Game 3 the Panthers once again fell behind in Game 4 and staged a furious rally but came up just short. Florida should hold its head up going into this evening's must-win game knowing that they have made winning big games on the road a habit during these playoffs and that they are 12-3 in their last 15 games away from South Florida. If the Panthers can pull off another one tonight then it's back to Miami and their 20,000 home faithful, rally towels, and plastic rats. The Panthers are 23-12 in their last 35 games when playing with two days of rest. Meanwhile, Vegas is a poor 44-41 (minus 15.1 net games) when playing with 2 days' of rest (but 277-181 (+ 30.8 net games) otherwise). Take Florida +1.5 goals. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

06-09-23 | Nuggets v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 108-95 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 52 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over the Denver Nuggets. We played on Denver in Games 1 + 3 in this series (and passed Game 2). But we will take Miami in Game 4, as Denver's a horrible road team off an ATS win. And especially against foes that failed to cover the spread by more than 7 points in their previous game, as Denver's 13-44-1 ATS its last 58. Yikes! Moreover, Miami is a solid 38-12 straight-up, and 31-16-3 ATS at home as a winning team off a straight-up home defeat. And it's 56-34 ATS in the Playoffs when it didn't lead in a series. Grab the points with Jimmy Butler & Co. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
06-01-23 | Heat v. Nuggets -8.5 | Top | 93-104 | Win | 100 | 67 h 54 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over the Miami Heat. Kudos to Miami, which knocked out the last two Eastern Conference Champs (Milwaukee, Boston). Unfortunately, knocking out Denver will be most difficult. The Nuggets have home court advantage, and are 42-7 at home this season. They're also 30-17-2 ATS at Ball Arena, and have covered the spread by an average of 3.34 ppg. We'll fade Miami in this Game 1, as Eastern Conference teams are 1-13 straight-up, and 2-12 ATS in Game 1 of the NBA Finals when playing away from home. And Denver is 23-11 SU and 25-9 ATS vs. Miami in the last 34 meetings, including 5-0 SU/ATS the last five here, in Denver. And Denver won their last five home games vs. the Heat by an average of 15 ppg. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

05-25-23 | Heat v. Celtics -7.5 | Top | 97-110 | Win | 100 | 27 h 38 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the Miami Heat. The Celtics are down 3-games-to-1 in this Best-of-7 series, so tonight's game (much like Tuesday's game) is a 'must-win' for Boston. The Heat were in a similar position vs. Milwaukee, and they upset the Bucks, 128-126, in overtime, as a 13.5-point underdog. But in 7-game series with a 2-2-1-1-1 format, home teams have typically done well in Game 5 when down 3-games-to-1, as they've cashed 61.7% since 1990. And, regardless of series format, or venue, teams down 3-1 have cashed 56.5%, including a perfect 7-0 ATS if they were a 2-seed, and favored by 4+ points. Take Boston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-23-23 | Celtics +2 v. Heat | Top | 116-99 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics + the points over Miami. The Celtics are down 3-games-to-none, but I don't believe they'll go down without a fight. Indeed, before Boston's 128-102 loss to Miami on Sunday, it had only lost by 20+ points five times in the last two seasons. And the Celtics bounced back from each of those blowout losses to go 5-0 SU/ATS in their next game (winning by an average of 13.2 ppg). Boston is also 9-1 ATS in the Playoffs when priced from -3.5 to +7.5 if it was off back to back SU/ATS losses, and not up in a Playoff series. And it's 20-4 ATS away from home in the Playoffs if it didn't lead in the series, and failed to cover the spread by more than 7 points in its previous game. Take the Celtics. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
05-21-23 | Celtics -3 v. Heat | Top | 102-128 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the Miami Heat. The Celts have their proverbial back against the wall after losing both games at home to start this series. We'll fade Miami as a home underdog, as home dogs have covered just 33% in the Playoffs since 1991 off back to back road underdog (or PK'em) wins. Even better: Game 3 home teams have gone just 25-44 SU and 28-41 ATS off an upset win as a 5.5-point (or greater) underdog in Game 2. Finally, the Celtics are an awesome 15-1-1 ATS as a favorite of -2 (or more) points off back to back upset defeats. And Miami is 17-37 ATS at home vs. a revenge-minded foe off a straight-up loss. Lay the points. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | Nuggets v. Lakers -5.5 | Top | 119-108 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 8 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over Denver. It's been a case of "close, but no cigar" for the Los Angeles Lakers in this series. They're down 2 games to none but haven't lost against the point spread in either of the first two games. We'll lay the points with the Purple and Gold, and go against the #1-seeded Nuggets. For technical support, consider that NBA #1 seeds have covered just 30 of 80 when up 2-games-to-none, and not laying more than 4 points. And LeBron James' teams have gone 56-29 ATS in the Playoffs when favored by 2 or more points, if they did not have a series lead. Lay the points with Los Angeles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 8:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Miami. The Celts lost here, at home, 123-116, on Wednesday to Erik Spoelstra's Heat. And that was Boston's 3rd straight defeat at the hands of Miami. We'll take Boston to bounce back from that loss, as it's an awesome 62-29 ATS when playing with double-revenge, if it failed to cover the spread by 10+ points in the prior meeting. And it's 71-41-2 ATS off a home loss, if favored vs. a foe off a win. Finally, Boston's a reliable 10-1 ATS its last 11 off an upset playoff defeat. Lay the points with Jayson Tatum & Co. in Game 2. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Philadelphia. The Celtics were upset at home, 115-103, as an 8-point home favorite on Tuesday. We'll take Boston to bounce back, as it's 34-10 ATS following an upset loss to a division rival, if Boston was favored by 4+ points in that defeat. And the Celtics are also 19-3 ATS away from home in the Playoffs, if they didn't lead in the series, and were off a home game where they failed to cover the spread by more than 7 points. Take Boston. |

At 10:00 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Los Angeles. The defending champs find themselves down 3-games-to-1 in this 'must-win' Game 5. We'll lay the points with the Warriors, as NBA defending champs have covered 61% since 1990 in Games 5, 6 or 7 of a playoff series when facing elimination. Even better: the Warriors have covered 72.7% in the NBA Playoffs since 1990 when playing with double-revenge, while the Lakers are 0-8 straight-up, and 1-6-1 ATS in the Playoffs since 1990 when installed as an underdog of +5 (or more) points vs. a double-revenge-minded foe.

Erik Spoelstra's men covered the point spread for the 7th straight time on Monday, when they defeated New York, 109-101, as a 4.5-point favorite. But we'll go against Miami on Wednesday, as NBA Underdogs of +2 (or more) points, with a win percentage less than .666, have gone 37-73-3 ATS after covering the spread in 7+ games. Lay the points with New York. |

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles won Game 3 here, at Crypto.com Arena, 127-97. We cashed the Under in that game, but will focus on the Side in this Game 4. We'll grab the points with the Warriors, and go against a Lakers team which is an awful 14-51 ATS as a home favorite off a win, when playing a revenge-minded foe it defeated by more than 7 points in the previous meeting. Additionally, the Warriors are 58-39 ATS off a SU/ATS loss when playing with revenge. And, finally, NBA road teams have cashed 73 percent since 1990 after losing a playoff game in which they scored less than 99, and surrendered more than 121. Take the Warriors + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers + the points over Boston. The Celtics blew out Philly for the 2nd straight game on Friday, as they won 114-102, to take a 2-games-to-1 series lead. We'll fade the Celtics in Game 4, as they're 0-8 ATS on the road in the playoffs off back to back SU/ATS wins, if they won their previous game by more than 11 points. Even better: home teams off a loss have cashed 65.4% since 1990 in the 2nd of back to back games vs the same foe, if each game was competitively-priced with a point spread of 3 points or less. Finally, Philly is 12-0 ATS its last 12 off back to back losses, if it wasn't favored by 8+ points. Take the 76ers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets took care of business at home, as they won both games by double-digits, including a 97-87 win on Monday, in Game 2. We'll fade Denver tonight on the road, as it's 27-58-1 ATS on the road off a win by more than eight points. Additionally, home teams have gone 22-7 ATS when playing with at least 3 days' of rest off a road playoff loss. Finally, #1-seeded teams up 2-games-to-none have covered just nine of 28 games as an underdog vs. teams seeded #4 (or worse). Lay the points with Phoenix. |

And LeBron James' teams have gone 0-6 ATS in the Playoffs in his career off an upset win, if playing a sub-.640 foe.

At 8 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Philadelphia. The 76ers are on a 7-0 SU and 6-0-1 ATS streak, including an upset win over Boston in Game 1 on Monday. We'll fade Philly tonight, as NBA underdogs of +8 (or more) points have gone 12-40 ATS vs. foes off a game where they failed to cover the spread by 10+ points. Even worse for the Sixers: they're 18-36 ATS as road underdogs of more than 4 points vs. .501 (or better) foes. And, finally, the Celtics are 60-29 ATS when playing with double revenge, if they failed to cover the spread by 10+ points in the prior meeting. Lay the points with Boston.

At 7:30 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Miami. The Heat took Game 1, 108-101. We'll lay the points with the Knicks in Game 2, as they're 81-38 ATS off a SU/ATS loss, if playing with revenge from a home loss vs. a .500 (or better) foe. Even better: teams (like Miami) have covered just 23 of 65 away from home in the post-season after covering the spread in each of their three previous games by more than 7 points. And #5-seeded teams (like New York) have gone 69-31-1 ATS vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take the Knicks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 1 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over the Miami Heat. The Knicks took 3 of the 4 games vs. the Heat this season, and covered the point spread in both home games. And here at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks are 11-4 ATS their last 15, including a perfect 9-0 ATS when not favored by 8 or more points. Meanwhile, the Heat are 7-14 ATS their last 21 road games.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Atlanta. The Hawks shocked the Celtics in Boston to win Game 5, and close the gap in this series to 3-2. Unfortunately for Atlanta, NBA home teams off a win in Game 5, but down 3-games-to-2, have gone 1-12 ATS in Game 6 when not favored by 2 or more points. And the Celtics are 18-7 ATS in the Playoffs off an upset defeat, while the Hawks are 1-13 ATS in the Playoffs off an upset win. Lay the points with Boston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Miami. The Bucks have fallen in a 3-1 hole after dropping both games in Miami. Still, the #1-seeded Bucks should have reason for optimism. They had the #1 record in the league this season, and are 33-10 SU at home, with a 24-17-2 ATS record, including 11-2 SU and 9-3-1 ATS off a straight-up loss. Even better, the Bucks are 53-22 ATS at home off back to back losses, including 6-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite. Finally, in match-ups between .528 (or better) teams, underdogs off back to back upset home wins have gone 2-30 SU and 5-27 ATS. Take Milwaukee to blow out the Heat. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Grizzlies fell, 117-111, in overtime on Monday. And they fell behind by 2 games in this 1st Round Playoff series. We'll lay the points with Memphis, as #2-seeded teams have gone 17-6 ATS at home when down at least two games in a Playoff series. And the Grizz are 9-2-1 ATS when playing with double-revenge. Take Memphis minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-26-23 | Knicks v. Cavs -5.5 | Top | 106-95 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 7 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the New York Knicks. The Cavs did not have a good trip to the Big Apple, as they lost Games 3 + 4 to the Knicks to fall behind 3-games-to-1 in this series. We'll take the Cavaliers to rebound on Wednesday, as they're 12-0 SU/ATS at home when priced from -3 to -12 off a loss if matched up against an opponent off a win. Meanwhile, the Knicks are 1-9 ATS on the road vs. non-division foes off back to back losses. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-25-23 | Wolves v. Nuggets -9.5 | Top | 109-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
At 9 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Minnesota. The Nuggets come into this game off a road loss in Game #4 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Still, they lead this series 3 games to 1, and will look to close out their division rival tonight. Denver is 36-7 SU and 27-15-1 ATS at home this season, and have covered the spread by an average of 3.62 ppg. Notably, against .500 (or better) teams, the Nuggets are riding a 19-2 SU and 18-3 ATS run at home! Meanwhile, the T-Wolves are a poor 0-18 ATS their last 18 on the road vs. .500 (or better) teams following a T-Wolves cover by more than 8 points. Lay the points with Denver. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-24-23 | Bucks -4 v. Heat | Top | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 36 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over the Miami Heat. The Bucks lost Game 3, 121-99, which puts their back against the wall in this Game 4. The last thing Milwaukee wants to do is fall behind 3-games-to-1 in this series. The good news for Mike Budenholzer's men is that they're 6-1 ATS their last seven when trailing in a playoff series. And they're 17-5 ATS on the road when playing with revenge from a 15-point (or worse) defeat. Finally, since 1990, NBA teams have cashed 76.4% after scoring less than 100 points in an upset Playoff loss, if they surrendered 115+ points in that previous game. Take Milwaukee minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over the Memphis Grizzlies. We played against the Lakers in Game 2, and got the $$$ with the Grizzlies in a blowout win. We'll switch gears for this Game 3 and take the homestanding Lakers, who are 14-6 SU/ATS off a straight-up loss since December 27. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are 10-19 SU and 8-20-1 ATS on the road vs. revenge-minded foes, including 0-12-1 ATS as an underdog! Lay the points with the Lakers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-21-23 | Nuggets v. Wolves +2.5 | Top | 120-111 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over the Denver Nuggets. The T-Wolves are down 2-games-to-none to Denver. But the Nuggets are now on the road, where they've NOT been an elite team over the years. Indeed, the Nuggets are a horrid 11-33 ATS on the road off back to back ATS losses, including 0-10 ATS vs. foes off back-to-back SU/ATS losses. This season, Denver was under water away from home, with a 19-22 SU/ATS record, including 9-15 ATS as a road favorite. The T-Wolves are 11-3 ATS their last 14 as a home underdog. Grab the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-20-23 | Kings v. Warriors -7 | Top | 97-114 | Win | 100 | 66 h 25 m | Show |
At 10 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Sacramento. We played on the Kings in Game 1, and passed Game 2. But we will lay the points with the Warriors in this Game 3, as they're back in San Francisco. This season, the Warriors have been dominant at home, and dreadful on the road, so it's no surprise they're down 2-games-to-0 with the first two games played in Sacramento. But now, Golden State is back home, where it's 33-8 straight-up, and 27-13-1 ATS this season, including 10-2 ATS vs. .529 (or better) foes, and 15-1 ATS vs. foes off a SU/ATS win. And the Warriors are 45-23-1 ATS in the Playoffs when playing with revenge. Take Golden State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-20-23 | 76ers v. Nets +5 | Top | 102-97 | Push | 0 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over the Philly 76ers. Jacque Vaughn's men were blown out of Games 1 + 2. But we'll grab the points with the home puppy in Game 3, as the 76ers are a woeful 12-27-1 ATS when favored by 10 or less points (or PK) on the road off back to back wins, when they've owned a win percentage of .625 (or greater). Meanwhile, the Nets are a solid 60-29 ATS off back to back SU/ATS losses, when facing a foe off a 9-point (or greater) win, if the Nets weren't favored by more than 2 points. Brooklyn also falls into 65-38, 92-55 and 161-106 ATS systems of mine that play on certain playoff teams off blowout losses. Grab the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-19-23 | Heat v. Bucks -6.5 | Top | 122-138 | Win | 100 | 60 h 6 m | Show |
At 9 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over the Miami Heat. Milwaukee suffered a loss in Game 1, as Miami went into Fiserv Forum, and upset the Bucks, 130-117. Trailing in a playoff series isn't unfamiliar territory for Milwaukee, so I don't expect that it will be discouraged. Indeed, the Bucks are 13-5 SU and 11-7 ATS in the Playoffs when they were trailing or tied in the series. Even better: off an upset playoff loss, the Bucks have gone 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS. Meanwhile, Miami is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS off an upset playoff win. Finally, the Bucks are a wallet-fattening 52-22-1 ATS at home off back to back losses, including 21-4 ATS when playing with rest off a home loss. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-19-23 | Lakers v. Grizzlies -1 | Top | 93-103 | Win | 100 | 59 h 35 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers upset the Grizzlies on Sunday, 128-112, as a 5.5-point underdog, behind 29 points from Rui Hachimura, and 23 from Austin Reaves. We'll take the Grizzlies on Wednesday to level the series at 1 game apiece, as NBA teams off playoff losses by more than 15 points that also failed to cover the spread by more than 20 in that defeat, have gone 106-76-1 ATS since 1991. Even better: Memphis is 8-2-1 ATS when playing with double-revenge, while the Lakers are a poor 5-24-1 ATS on the road when playing a foe they upset in the season's previous meeting. Take the Grizzlies in Game #2. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 10 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Los Angeles. Kawhi Leonard led the Clips to victory in Game 1 with 38 points, as Los Angeles upset Phoenix, 115-110. We'll take the Suns to bounce back on Tuesday, as they're 62-30-1 ATS when favored, and playing with revenge from an upset loss earlier in the season. And if it's a playoff game, then our 62-30 stat zooms to 11-1 ATS. Lay the points with the Suns. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-18-23 | Knicks v. Cavs -4.5 | Top | 90-107 | Win | 100 | 62 h 13 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the New York Knicks. New York upset the Cavaliers in Game 1, 101-97. And that was Cleveland's 2nd straight upset defeat, overall. We'll take the Cavs to bounce back in Game 2, as they've cashed 61.7% since 1990 off back to back upset losses, including 79% when priced as a favorite of less than 8 points. Additionally, since 1990, favorites of less than 12 points have cashed 60% in the playoffs off back to back upset losses. Lay the points with Cleveland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-16-23 | Heat v. Bucks -9 | Top | 130-117 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 35 m | Show |
At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Miami. In the pandemic-impacted 2020 season, the Bucks were the number 1 seed, but were bounced out of the playoffs by the then-No. 5 seeded Heat. However, since that series loss, Milwaukee has dominated the Heat here, at home, as the Bucks are 7-0 straight-up, and 5-2 ATS, with an average point spread differential of 10.3 ppg. The Bucks come into Sunday's Game 1 vs. Miami off back to back losses in what were (admittedly) meaningless games. This game, of course, is anything but meaningless. And we'll lay the points with Milwaukee, as it's 52-21-1 ATS at home off back to back losses. Take the Bucks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Warriors v. Kings | Top | 123-126 | Win | 100 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento Kings over the Golden State Warriors. This season, the Kings have covered 3 of 4 vs. Golden State. Coincidentally, these two teams met two games ago, and the Warriors won, 119-97, for their only point spread win of the season vs. Sacramento. Notwithstanding that loss, since 2017, Sacramento is a super 18-8 ATS vs. the Warriors, including 10-2 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season. And Golden State is a horrid 32-72 ATS off a point spread win when playing a revenge-minded foe. Finally, I just can't get behind the Warriors on the road tonight. For the season, the Warriors are a woeful 11-30 straight-up, and 12-28-1 ATS away from San Francisco, including 2-14-1 ATS when the point spread was less than five points. Take the Kings. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-14-23 | Bulls v. Heat -5.5 | Top | 91-102 | Win | 100 | 37 h 32 m | Show |
At 7 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Miami Heat minus the points over the Chicago Bulls. The Heat were upset here, at home, by Atlanta in its initial Play-in round game. We'll take Miami to bounce back, as it's 66-34-3 ATS as a winning team when rested, and favored by 4+ points off an upset loss. Additionally, in the Playoffs or Play-in round, the Heat are 14-0 ATS their last 14 off an upset loss when facing a sub-.700 foe which won its previous game. Lay the points with Miami. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-12-23 | Canadiens v. Islanders -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 40 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Islanders minus 1.5 goals over the Montreal Canadiens. The Isles had their playoff fate in their own hands as they went into DC as a heavy favorite to play a lackluster Caps team on Monday. But of course things don't always go as planned in the NHL and the Caps jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead from which New York could not recover. That upset was their fifth loss in a row. But, as luck would have it, the Pittsburgh Penguins suffered an even worse upset last night when they lost at home (as a -490 favorite) to the woeful Chicago Blackhawks. So, the Isles' fate is now back in their hands. If they earn a point tonight, they'll punch the final ticket to the post-season. The Isles, of course, are favored against a Canadiens team which has essentially stopped playing -- they've dropped five of their last six games by an aggregate score of 25-11. Not that they need any more motivation, but this is also a revenge situation for the Isles, as the Habs beat them in their last meeting, 4-3, in OT back in February. Montreal is a miserable 22-54 (minus 20.6 net games) off a road loss. Take New York minus 1.5 goals. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

04-09-23 | Pelicans v. Wolves -3.5 | Top | 108-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show |
At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over New Orleans. This is a huge game for both teams, as it will greatly impact their seeding in the Western conference. We'll side with the homestanding T-Wolves, as New Orleans is a wallet-breaking 8-24-1 ATS as an underdog of +3 (or more) points, including 1-13 ATS off a straight-up win. Take the T-Wolves minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-09-23 | Jazz v. Lakers -16 | Top | 117-128 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over the Utah Jazz. The Lakers can finish anywhere from #6 to #8 in the Western conference, so they're incentivized to win this afternoon. We'll lay the points with the rested Lakers, and go against an unrested Jazz team playing its 3rd game in four days. The Jazz upset the Nuggets in Salt Lake City yesterday, as a 10-point home underdog. Unfortunately for Utah, unrested teams have covered just 38 of 98 following an upset win as a 7-point (or greater) home underdog. Take the Lakers minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

04-09-23 | Bucks v. Raptors -2.5 | Top | 105-121 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over the Milwaukee Bucks. Toronto comes into this game off back to back losses to the Boston Celtics. And it will also seek to avenge a 7-point loss to these Bucks, at Milwaukee last month. We'll lay the points with the Raptors, as they're 124-80-5 ATS off back to back losses, including 11-6-1 ATS this season, and 14-5-1 ATS when playing with revenge vs. a division rival. Take Toronto. |

04-09-23 | Hawks v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 114-120 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks were upset at home by the Philadelphia 76ers in their previous game, and are now a road underdog at Boston on this final day of the regular season. We'll go against the Hawks, as road dogs have covered just 32.5% since 1990 in the final game of the season, if they were off an upset home loss. Take the Celtics. |
