At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets + the points over Denver.  The Nuggets won the first meeting of the season -- at Houston -- by the score of 112-109.  And that was the 5th straight win and cover by the road team in this series.  We'll take Houston in this 2nd meeting, as the Rockets are a solid 42-24 ATS when playing with revenge.  Even better:  the Rockets failed to cover the point spread in their previous two games.  And the Rockets are 106-79-4 ATS as road underdogs off back-to-back ATS losses.  Finally, the Rockets fall into a 179-105-4 ATS revenge system of mine.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the NC State Wolfpack minus the points over the Liberty Flames.  The Wolfpack are currently riding a 3-game ATS losing streak, as they failed to cover the 28-point spread in Saturday's 75-63 win over Asheville.  We'll play on the Wolfpack to stop that skid, as they're 53-36-3 ATS on a 3-game (or worse) ATS losing streak.  Even better:  ACC Conference teams are 118-83 ATS in non-conference games, as home favorites of more than 4 points, if they failed to cover the spread by more than 10 points in their previous game.  Take NC State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm (note the early start time), our selection is on the Miami Heat over the Orlando Magic.  This game is part of the NBA's In-Season Tournament, and is the first Knockout Round game for each team.  The Heat and Magic have already met twice this season, with Orlando coming away victorious in each game (but the Heat covered the spread in each of those losses).  Besides playing with revenge, the Heat also come into tonight's game off 3 consecutive defeats.  We'll take Miami, as the Magic are 11-21-2 ATS at home vs. foes off 2+ losses, if the Magic were not favored by 2+ points.  And Miami is 8-3 ATS its last 11 vs. the Magic.  Finally, the Heat are 28-14 ATS on the road off 3+ losses.  Take the Heat.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Georgia St. Panthers + the points over Mercer.  The Panthers play this game with revenge from a 3-point home loss to the Bears last season.  We'll grab the points with Georgia St., as it's 22-12 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss as a home favorite (or PK).  Additionally, the Panthers fall into a 882-644 ATS system of mine.  Take Georgia State + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Fairleigh-Dickinson Knights + the points over Providence.  The Knights were upset by Army, 81-73, last Wednesday, and it was FDU's second straight loss, overall.  They'll look to bounce back vs. the Friars this evening.  And Providence is a putrid 8-28 ATS vs. foes off an upset loss, and two losses, overall, including 1-12 ATS when laying more than 2 points.  Take Fairleigh Dickinson.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns + the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers played last night, and defeated New Orleans, 133-121, while Phoenix had Sunday off.  We will fade the Lakers tonight, as the Suns are 120-73 ATS vs. unrested foes off a SU win, provided Phoenix wasn't favored by 8+ points.  Even better:  if Phoenix was rested, and off a SU/ATS loss, our 120-73 stat zooms to 46-15 ATS.  Phoenix also falls into 80-25, 160-86 and 98-37 ATS systems of mine that fade certain unrested foes.  Grab the points with the Suns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie 

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz + the points over the Houston Rockets.  These two teams are playing the 2nd of back-to-back games here in Salt Lake City.  Houston blew out Utah in Round 1, 129-101.  We'll take the Jazz tonight, as home dogs of 11+ points off a SU loss are 185-148 ATS when playing with revenge.  Take Utah.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Cal Baptist Lancers + the points over Colorado.  The Lancers enter tonight's game with a 7-0 record, and have been installed as a double-digit dog vs. Colorado, which is also 7-0.  The Buffaloes have covered each of their last five games, winning all by 9+ points.  We'll fade Colorado, as it's 20-41 ATS off back to back wins by more than 7 points.  Take Cal Baptist.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers + the points over Miami.  The Clippers play this game with revenge from a home loss to the Heat four weeks ago.  Los Angeles dropped its fourth straight game on Saturday night when it lost at home to Dallas, 114-110.  The good news for L.A. tonight is that Miami is a miserable 28-48 ATS at home vs. revenge-minded foes off a SU loss.  Take the Clippers + the points.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over the Indiana Pacers.  The Cavs are on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak after falling to Boston, 117-115, at home, on Sunday.  We'll take Cleveland to bounce back as it's 51-27 ATS as a favorite of -6 (or more) points vs. losing foes, if Cleveland was off back-to-back losses.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bearcats minus the points over Tarleton St.  The Bearcats look to bounce back from an embarrassing loss at home to Eastern Michigan.  We'll lay the points with the Bearcats at Big 12 Conference teams have gone 89-60 ATS at home in non-conference games following a game where they failed to cover the spread by 9+ points.  Take Cincinnati.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Chattanooga Mocs minus the points over Tennessee State.  Dan Earl's Mocs have quietly gone 33-9 SU and 23-13-2 ATS in their last 42 games.  And this success earned Earl last season's Southern Conference Coach of the Year award.  Last season, the Mocs suffered a disappointing loss in the SoCon Tournament's semifinals, when it was upset by the 5th-seeded Furman Paladins, 80-77.  But the Mocs re-grouped and went on to win the NIT Tournament, going 5-0 SU/ATS in that tourney.  This season, the Mocs are again expected to win the Southern Conference, but started the season just 1-3.  However, it was a big underdog in two of those games, which were against powers:  St. Mary's and UNLV.  This afternoon, the Mocs will take on cross-state rival, Tennessee State.  We'll lay the points, as the Mocs are 10-0-2 ATS their last 12 when priced from -5 to -16 points, while the Tigers are 14-25-1 ATS when catching between 6 and 17 points.  Take Chattanooga.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 1 pm, our selection is on the St. Joseph's Hawks minus the points over Princeton.  The Hawks were upset by Princeton, 77-69, last season.  But they had won the previous 5 meetings SU/ATS before that upset loss.  We'll take the revenge-minded Hawks this afternoon, as they're 43-23-1 ATS as a favorite of -3 (or more) points when playing with revenge from a regular season loss the previous year.  Meanwhile, the Tigers are a terrible 8-21-1 ATS vs. foes playing with revenge.  Lay the points with St. Joe's.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Oregon St. Beavers minus the points over Cal Baptist.  The Beavers were upset by UMass, 73-65, on Monday, as a 2.5-point favorite.  We'll take the Beavers to bounce back, as they're 26-17 ATS off an upset loss.  Even better:  the Lancers are a poor 51-84-2 ATS their last 137, including 26-55-2 ATS in games with point spreads of 7 or less.  Meanwhile, the Beavers are 7-2 ATS vs. WAC Conference foes, and fall into a 128-72-1 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off upset losses.  Take Oregon St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over Indiana.  The Pacers won for just the 3rd time this season, last night, when they blew out Washington, 119-86.  But the Wizards are even worse than Indiana, with just two wins on the season.  We'll lay the points with the Bulls, as Chicago is 80-52 ATS in division games off back-to-back losses, provided their opponent is NOT off back-to-back losses.  Take Chicago.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Raptors minus the points over Charlotte.  Last night, the Hornets upset Chicago, 123-116.  We'll fade Charlotte off that upset win, and take the red-hot Raptors, who have won 9 straight games.  Indeed, road favorites of -8 (or more) points, off 8 (or more) wins, have cashed 59 of 90 since 1990.  Lay the points with Toronto.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Missouri-Kansas City Roos + the points over Weber St.  The Roos come into this afternoon's game off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, including a 13-point defeat at Lindenwood on Monday.  Kansas City is a solid 15-7-1 ATS as an underdog off back to back SU/ATS losses, while the Wildcats are a woeful 7-21 ATS as a favorite (or PK), including 1-13 ATS vs. foes off a loss by more than 5 points.  Take Kansas City.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs + the points over NC Wilmington.  Gardner-Webb has yet to taste victory, as it is 0-8 straight up.  It's also 1-7 ATS on the season, and 0-4 ATS its last four games.  We'll step in and take the large number of points today, as NCAA teams with an 0-6 (or worse) record have cashed 72.2% since 1990 if they also failed to cover the spread in each of their previous four games.  Additionally, the Seahawks are a soft 17-24-2 ATS vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Stetson Hatters + the points over Southern Utah.  The Thunderbirds lost at Robert Morris, 61-54, but covered the point spread as an 8.5-point underdog.  We'll fade Southern Utah, as it is 0-10 ATS its last 10 off a point spread win.  Take Stetson + the points.

At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs minus the points over Alcorn State.  The Braves snapped their 7-game losing streak with a win over Indiana State, as a 13-point underdog.  But we'll fade Alcorn St. off that upset, as Louisiana Tech is 15-1 SU and 14-2 ATS vs. foes off upset wins, while the Braves are 5-12-1 ATS off an upset win.  Take Louisiana Tech.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the VMI Keydets + the points over Central Florida.  The Keydets were blown out, 81-48, by Bowling Green on Thursday.  We'll take VMI to bounce back on Saturday, as it is 12-3-1 ATS off a loss by 15+ points.  Meanwhile, the Knights are 8-19-1 ATS vs. foes off losses by 7+ points.  VMI falls into a 156-84 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off blowout losses.  Take the Keydets.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over Charlotte.  The Hornets are on a 7-game losing streak and have been installed as a small home underdog vs. the Chicago Bulls.  I don't want any part of the Hornets in this price range, as they're 22-40 ATS their last 62 when not getting 4+ points, including 12-27 ATS at home.  Meanwhile, the Bulls are 13-5 ATS their last 18 off a SU loss, and 15-3 ATS their last 18 vs. the Hornets.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Panthers + the points over Ohio State.  The Buckeyes are 6-0 this season, but all 6 games were at home.  And 5 of the 6 were against cupcakes, as Ohio State was favored  by 34 vs. IU Indy, 24 vs. Fort Wayne, 23 vs. Appalachian St., 26.5 vs. Western Michigan, and 29 vs. Mount St. Mary's.  Those 5 teams' have an average ranking of 283 at KenPom.com (there are 365 teams in Division 1).  The Buckeyes' only game vs. a quality opponent was when it hosted Notre Dame (currently rated #73), and Ohio State won by 1 point, 64-63, as a 9.5 point home favorite.  Teams playing on an opponent's home court for the first time, at Game 7 (or later) that have a scoring average of +25 (or more) ppg, are 1-9 ATS their last 10.  And they're also 16-34 ATS when priced from +2.5 to -15.5 points.  We'll fade Ohio State in this step-up in class on the road.  Grab the points with Pittsburgh.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:30 pm, in a game played in Las Vegas, in the Resorts World Classic, our selection is on the Lehigh Mountain Hawks + the points over Cal Santa Barbara.  Lehigh has generally been solid as a big underdog, as it's 31-16 ATS when getting more than 7 points, including 16-5 ATS off a loss.  UCSB, on the other hand, is 23-41-2 ATS its last 65, including 14-28-1 ATS as a favorite.  Take Lehigh + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the South Florida Bulls minus the points over Western Kentucky.   This game is being played in Nassau, Bahamas, as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament.  The Bulls come into this game off back-to-back SU/ATS losses to Oklahoma St. and VCU, and are 3-3 on the season.  We'll take South Florida to bounce back, as it's cashed 62% in non-conference games since 1990 off 2 SU/ATS losses.  Additionally, South Florida falls into a 96-45 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites off a SU loss.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates + the points over St. Bonaventure.  This game is in Fort Myers, Florida, as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament.  St. Bonaventure comes into this game off a 15-point loss to North Carolina, and has been installed as a double-digit favorite this afternoon.  But it's been atrocious in this price range, as it's 27-57-2 ATS when priced from -8.5 to -12 points, including 8-30 ATS if the Bonnies were off a SU loss.  The Pirates, meanwhile, were blown out by 33 points on Tuesday by Tom Izzo's Spartans, and are winless ATS thus far.  But underdogs off a loss by 33+ points have gone 98-73 ATS if they were 0-2 (or worse) ATS on the season.  Take East Carolina + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Tigers minus the points over Southern Illinois.  The Tigers were 29-6 last season, but have stumbled out of the gate with a 1-4 record this year.  They're back at home tonight, and will host a Salukis squad which is 3-3.  Memphis is a solid 13-3 ATS in non-conference games off back to back losses.  And it also falls into a 90-44 ATS system of mine which plays on certain favorites off SU losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves + the points over Oklahoma City.  The T-Wolves play with revenge from last season's Playoff ouster.  And Minnesota also checks in off an overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings.  The Wolves should be ultra-focused tonight, and we'll grab the points, noting that road underdogs off a SU/ATS loss have cashed 64% when playing with revenge from a playoff defeat.  Take Minnesota.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks + the points over Miami.  The Heat have won 5 straight, while the Bucks have dropped 5 straight.  We'll take the underdog Bucks, as Miami is a nasty 38-62 ATS off a SU win if its opponent was off a SU loss.  The Bucks also fall into a 250-157 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams on long losing streaks.   Take Milwaukee.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on The Citadel + the points over Houston Christian.  The Huskies have been installed as a road favorite at The Citadel.  In general, the Huskies have been a decent bet on the road.  But most of the time they're getting a lot of points.  Indeed, Houston Christian is 33-26 ATS as a road dog of +8 (or more) points.  But when the Huskies are on the road, and not getting 8 points, they've burned money, going 6-13 ATS including 0-6 ATS their last six.  The Citadel falls into an 88-35 ATS system of mine.  Take the Bulldogs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:10 pm (note the early start time), our selection is on the Boston Celtics + the points over Detroit.  The Pistons are firing on all cylinders, and enter the TD Garden on a 13-game win streak.  These two teams met three days before Detroit's streak began, and the Pistons bested Boston that night, 119-113.  We'll grab the points with the Celtics, who are 18-6 ATS when playing with revenge, while Detroit is 4-10 ATS its last 14 when playing a revenge-minded foe.  Take Boston.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs + the points over Navy.  The Bulldogs are 0-6 this season.  But three of those losses were to major conference foes like Clemson, DePaul and Richmond.  This afternoon's game is Navy, from the Patriot League.  The Midshipmen have been miserable when laying a large amount of points, including 9-19 ATS when favored by 7 or more.  Take Gardner-Webb.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers + the points over New Mexico State.  The Aggies come into this afternoon's game with a 5-0 record, and they've covered the spread in three straight.  But their first four wins all came at home.  The Aggies have NOT been good away from home, and especially not as a favorite of -9 (or more) points vs. losing foes, as they're just 13-24-1 ATS in that situation.  Take Georgia State.

At 11:00 am (note the early start time), our selection is on the St Francis PA Red Flash + the points over Troy.  The Red Flash were blown out, 94-57, by Belmont on Monday.  We'll grab the points with St. Francis in this morning match-up, as it falls into a 327-263 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Additionally, the Trojans are 5-14 ATS as favorites vs. foes that failed to cover the spread by more than 12 points in their previous game.  Take St. Francis.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks minus the points over James Madison.  The Dukes snapped an 8-game ATS losing streak with wins this past week vs. Towson and Florida International.  Still, the Dukes are a dreadful 15-28 ATS off back-to-back covers as an underdog (and 9-26 ATS if their current game was priced with a single-digit point spread).  Take Nebraska-Omaha to blow out James Madison.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Houston Christian Huskies minus the points over Bellarmine.  The Huskies are 13-4 ATS their last 17 as a favorite (or PK), while the Knights are 21-36-2 ATS as an underdog, including 2-12 ATS vs. foes off a win by more than 12 points.  With Houston Christian, indeed, off an 18-point blowout win, we'll lay the points with the Huskies.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates + the points over Michigan St.  These two teams are taking part in the Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament in Florida.  The Pirates come into this afternoon's game off an upset loss at the hands of Charleston Southern.  We'll take ECU to bounce back, as it's cashed 67% since 1990 as underdogs in non-conference games, if it was off an upset defeat.  Take the Pirates.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Liberty Flames minus the points over Towson.  This game is being played in Orlando, Florida, as part of the ESPN Events Invitational.  Liberty defeated Vermont, 79-73, as an 8.5-point favorite yesterday, while Towson upset Rhode Island, 62-55, as a 2.5-point underdog.  The Flames are 7-0 ATS their last seven vs. non-conference foes off a SU win, while Towson is 24-53 ATS as an underdog of more than 4 points in non-conference games when it wasn't playing with revenge.  Take Liberty.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over Sacramento.  The Kings snapped their 8-game losing streak with an upset win at Denver on Saturday.  Meanwhile, Minnesota was upset, 114-113, by Phoenix, and became the first team since 2022 to blow an 8-point (or greater) lead in the final minute.  The Kings are 30-68 ATS at home off a SU win vs. foes off a SU loss, provided the Kings were not off an ATS loss, and their foe was not off an ATS win.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
