At 6 pm, our selection is on the Texas Longhorns minus the points over Mississippi St.  The Longhorns enter on a 2-Game SU/ATS win streak, with blowout wins over Le Moyne (95-53) and Maryland-Eastern Shore (94-71).  We'll lay the points, as Texas is 55-30 ATS in regular season conference games off back to back double-digit wins, if they were not favored by 17+ points.  Take the Longhorns.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Marshall Thundering Herd minus the points over Appalachian St.  The Mountaineers upset Old Dominion, 81-73 on Wednesday.  We'll fade App State this afternoon, as it's cashed just 29.4% percent on the road off an upset win when installed as an underdog.  Lay the points with the Thundering Herd.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.  

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Winthrop Eagles minus the points over Gardner-Webb.  The Eagles were upset by Longwood, 82-70, on Wednesday.  And they also lost at Texas Tech, 87-57, before that.  We'll take Winthrop to bounce back this afternoon, as they're 8-0-1 ATS off back to back SU/ATS losses, while the Runnin' Bulldogs are a soft 9-14 ATS vs. foes off an upset loss.  Lay the points with the Eagles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Old Dominion Monarchs over Georgia Southern.  The Eagles have won their last eight games, covering four, while the Monarchs are on a 3-game SU/ATS losing streak.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the red-hot Eagles vs. the ice cold Monarchs.  But be careful, as home teams not getting 2+ points, off 3 SU/ATS losses have cashed 57% since 1990 vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS wins.  Take Old Dominion.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners minus the points over Mississippi.  The Rebels covered the spread in their win over Alcorn State on Monday.  But it was just its second ATS win in its last 12 games this season.  Ole Miss did defeat Oklahoma by three points last year, but the Sooners covered the spread.  And Oklahoma has covered each of the last three meetings with the Rebels.  The Sooners also fall into a 78-28 ATS system of mine.  Lay the points.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Akron Zips minus the points over Miami-Ohio.  The RedHawks are 14-0 this season, but ranked just 106th in Ken Pomeroy's NCAA Basketball rankings.  Meanwhile, Akron is 10-3, but ranked #56.  I like the Zips to hand Miami-Ohio its first loss of the season, as the Zips have dominated the series with 11 wins in the last 12 meetings (8-4 ATS).  Take Akron.

At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the SMU Mustangs over the North Carolina Tar Heels.  SMU is 11-2 and enters this game off back to back blowout wins over Central Arkansas (99-82) and Cal State Fullerton (110-63).  The Mustangs are 57-34-3 ATS in conference games off back to back wins, if they weren't getting more than 4 points.  Take SMU.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Central Florida Knights + the points over Kansas.  The Knights are on a 10-game win streak, and play with revenge from a loss in the Big 12 Tournament last season.  Big 12 underdogs have cashed 58% when playing with revenge from a Big 12 Tourney loss.  Grab the points.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over Cincinnati.  The Bearcats have covered their last three games, while Houston failed to cover on Monday vs. Middle Tennessee.  We'll lay the points with the Cougars, as they're 43-20 ATS vs. foes off back to back covers, if Houston was not off back to back ATS wins.  Take Houston.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Georgia Bulldogs minus the points over Auburn.  The Bulldogs have dropped the last five meetings vs. Auburn.  But they've won against the spread in each of the last three meetings.  We'll look for Georgia to stretch its ATS win streak in this series to four games, as Auburn is a poor 66-103-6 ATS off a SU win, if it was playing a revenge-minded foe.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Kentucky Wildcats + the points over Alabama.  These two teams met in the SEC Tournament last season, and the Crimson Tide blew out Kentucky, 99-70.  We'll take the Wildcats today, as it is 46-27-2 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss in the prior season, including 13-5-1 ATS as an underdog.  Take Kentucky + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons minus the points over Virginia Tech.  The Hokies upset rival, Virginia, on Wednesday, while Wake Forest enters off back to back SU/ATS losses.  We'll take Wake Forest to bounce back, as it's cashed 67% as a home favorite off back to back losses, if it was matched-up against a conference foe off a SU win.  Take Wake Forest.

At 11 am, our selection is on the NC State Wolfpack minus the points over Virginia.  North Carolina State comes into this game on a 3-game SU/ATS win streak.  UVA is a soft 27-38-2 ATS vs. foes on 3-game SU/ATS win streaks.  Take the Wolfpack minus the points.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers minus the points over Michigan St.  Both the 'Huskers and Spartans enter with identical 13-0 records.  And it's just the 3rd time in 36 years that two 13-0 (or better) teams played each other!  We'll take the 'Huskers, as home teams with a 7-0 (or better) record have gone 40-22 ATS if they weren't favored by 4+ points, and owned a winning ATS record.  Take Nebraska.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks minus the points over Charlotte.  The Bucks were upset by the Washington Wizards in their last game.  Off that huge upset loss, we'll take the Bucks to bounce back on Friday.  Indeed, Milwaukee is 14-2-1 ATS off an upset loss, if they were favored by more than 8 points in that defeat, and their opponent is off an ATS win.  And Charlotte is 33-52 ATS as an underdog of more than 5 points vs. foes off an upset loss.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal + the points over Louisville.  Stanford mustered just 40 points in its previous game -- a 47-40 loss to Notre Dame.  The good news for Stanford is that home dogs have cashed 67% of conference games since 1990 off an upset loss where they scored less than 44 points.  Take Stanford + the points.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers minus the points over Sam Houston St.  The Hilltoppers were upset on Monday by Jacksonville St.  We'll take the Hilltoppers to bounce back, as they've covered 64% at home since 1990 off an upset loss when playing a foe off a SU win.  Lay the points.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Houston.  The Nets have been installed as a double-digit home dog tonight vs. the Rockets.  And home dogs of +10 (or more) points have gone 297-241-11 ATS off a SU loss, when matched-up against a foe off a SU win.  With Brooklyn off a 13-point loss to the Warriors, and the Rockets off a 7-point win vs. the Pacers, we'll grab the points with Brooklyn this evening.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Evansville Purple Aces + the points over Illinois State.  The Redbirds come into this game off a 3 SU/ATS wins over Southern Illinois, Indiana State and Drake.  We'll fade Illinois St. this afternoon, as it's 0-12 ATS at home or on a neutral court off 3 SU/ATS wins.  Meanwhile, the Purple Aces are 8-2 ATS their last 10 road games.  And Evansville falls into a 635-426-27 ATS system of mine.  Grab the points with Evansville.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over Toronto.  The Raptors come into this game off back to back upset wins as home dogs.  Unfortunately, .529 (or better) teams off back to back upset home wins, have cashed just 28 of 77 since 1990.  Take Denver + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the UAB Blazers minus the points over Wichita St.  The Blazers come into this game off back to back home blowout wins by 24 and 25 points over Cleveland St. and NC Asheville.  And those two triumphs moved UAB's home ATS record to 235-183-6 ATS since 1990, including 74-48 ATS vs. a foe off a SU/ATS win (which Wichita State is).  Lay the points with UAB.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the St. Joseph's Hawks + the points over St. Louis.  The Billikens come into this game off a stellar performance vs. Principia, where they won by 81, and held the Panthers to just 33 points.  Unfortunately, since 1980, NCAA teams have covered just 41% of conference games in the regular season after holding their previous opponent to less than 35 points.  Even better:  St. Joe's won its previous game by 22 points.  And road underdogs of more than 10 points have cashed 57.8% in regular season conference games after a win by more than 17 points.  Take St. Joe's.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Phoenix.  The Cavs have been scuffling for much of the season, and have been horrible against the spread this season.  But they are finally getting healthy, and they showed what they could do when the went into San Antonio and upset the red-hot Spurs in their last game.  We'll lay the points with Cleveland tonight, as it's back home to face a Phoenix Suns team also playing good basketball.  Cleveland falls into a 52-17 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams with losing ATS records.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Tech Hokies + the points over Virginia.  The home team has gone 28-17-1 ATS in this commonwealth rivalry.  We'll take the home dog, as Va Tech falls into a very good 75-26 ATS system of mine which plays on certain home teams vs. conference foes off a SU/ATS win.  Take the Hokies.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Stony Brook Seawolves + the points over William & Mary.  Colonial Athletic Ass'n road underdogs of +9 (or more) points, off back to back SU/ATS losses, have gone 101-62 ATS.  Take Stony Brook

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls + the points over Tulsa.  The Golden Hurricane enter off 9 straight wins, while Rice will be looking to bounce back off an upset loss in its previous game.  We'll back the Owls, as Tulsa has covered just 2 of 12 games as a double-digit favorite vs. foes off upset defeats.  Additionally, the Owls fall into a 634-424 ATS system of mine.  Grab the points with Rice.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 7:10 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors minus the points over Phoenix.  The Warriors are playing the 2nd of back-to-back games vs. the Suns.  Phoenix won Round 1 by a point at home, 99-98.  We'll take Golden State in this rematch, as it's 117-85 ATS at home off a SU loss, including 36-25 ATS with revenge.  Lay the points.

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 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 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 1 pm, our selection is on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies minus the points over Le Moyne.  The Dolphins are a poor 5-17-1 ATS vs. foes off an ATS loss, including 1-11-1 ATS as an underdog of 21 or less points.  With St. Bonaventure off an upset loss to Ohio U. last week, we'll lay the wood with the Bonnies.

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 10 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Marymount Lions minus the points over North Alabama.  Loyola Marymount was upset at home by UC San Diego, 67-57, on Tuesday, while North Alabama fell, 68-60, at Alabama A&M.  North Alabama is a wallet-breaking 35.7% ATS vs. foes off upset losses.  And it's 7-19 ATS when priced from +8 to +22 points.  Take Loyola Marymount.

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 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Chicago.  The Cavaliers lost to the Bulls on Wednesday, 127-111.  We'll take the Cavs in this rematch, as revenge-minded teams have gone 120-80 ATS vs. division rivals if they were playing back-to-back games vs. the same opponent, and were favored in each game.  Take Cleveland.

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 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee State Tigers minus the points over Tennessee-Martin.  The Tigers stunned UNLV, 63-60, on Saturday, as a 12.5-point underdog.  We'll lay the points with the Tigers, as home favorites have cashed 68% of conference games since 1990 off an upset win as an underdog of 12+ points, if they were matched up against a foe also off a SU win.  Take Tennessee St.

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 9 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Buffaloes minus the points over Portland St.  The Buffs are off to a 9-1 start this season.  And, dating back to last year, they're 15-7 ATS their last 22.  Colorado falls into a very good 420-271 ATS system of mine.  We'll lay the points.

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.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the South Alabama Jaguars minus the points over Louisiana-Monroe.  Last season, the Warhawks upset the Jaguars not once, but twice.  And the Warhawks were 12-point and 15.5-point underdogs in those two upset wins.  With revenge on its mind, we'll lay the points with the Jaguars tonight.  Louisiana-Monroe is an ugly 6-20 ATS as a home underdog of more than 7 points, including 1-11 ATS if it entered off an ATS win.  And the Jaguars are 28-17 ATS as a favorite when playing with double-revenge.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Central Florida Knights minus the points over Mercer.  UCF has won 7 straight, and is 2-0 ATS its last two, while Mercer enters off a loss at Clemson.  The Knights are a solid 23-11 ATS at home vs. non-conference foes off a SU loss.  Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bearcats minus the points over Alabama St.  The Bearcats some into tonight's game off back to back SU/ATS losses to Xavier and Georgia.  But Cincy is a dominant 64% over the last 36 years in non-conference games off back-to-back SU/ATS losses.  Even better:  Big 12 Conference teams have gone 60% ATS at home in non-conference games after failing to cover the spread by 9+ points in their previous game.  Take the Bearcats.  Good luck, as as always...Al McMordie.
