At 5:15 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over Michigan State. We not only had Kansas as our top-rated play of the first round, but we also tabbed Kansas to win this entire Tournament. So, it was with great pleasure that we watched the Jayhawks blow out Cal Davis, 100-62. That big win has triggered several of my best 'momentum' systems, with records of 46-16, 23-3 and 49-19 ATS since 1991. That's one reason why I love Kansas on Sunday. Another is that I want to go against Michigan State following its 20-point upset win vs. Miami. Indeed, underdogs of +4 or more points, off 20-point (or better) wins in the NCAA Tournament, have cashed just 20% of the time since 2000. Finally, these two teams met last season, and the Spartans upset the Jayhawks, 79-73, as 4.5-point underdogs. But teams playing with revenge from an upset loss as a 4-point (or bigger) favorite, have cashed 77.2% in the NCAA Tourney since 1998, including 9-1 ATS if they were seeded #3 or better, and 6-0 if their opponent was off an upset win. Take Kansas. NCAA 2nd Round Game of the Year.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin Badgers minus the points over Indiana. The Hoosiers walloped Iowa yesterday, 95-73, and came within 2 points of the highest-score posted in a Big 10 Tourney contest. Will Indiana be able to play another great game? It's not likely, as it's just 18-14 on the season, and also just 14-14-2 ATS (including 5-7-2 ATS away from home, and 4-9 ATS when the line was 5 points or less). The Hoosiers also lost both meetings to the Badgers this season, and Indiana's an awful 0-6 SU/ATS as an underdog of +1.5 or more points in the Big 10 Tourney when playing with revenge vs. a rested opponent. Finally, the Hoosiers fall into a negative 28-74 ATS system of mine which fades certain .710 (or worse) teams off blowout wins. Take Wisconsin. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

But teams generally bounce back strong in the post-season off blowout losses, and especially when they're matched up against an opponent off a win. Indeed, teams off losses by more than 25 points have covered 66.2% since 1991 in the post-season vs. foes off a win (and 13-2 ATS when the game was competitively priced with a line less than 3 points). Memphis has also won 18 of the last 20 meetings vs. UCF (14-5-1 ATS). Take the Tigers. AAC Tourney Game of the Year! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

But Arlington rebounded very well off that defeat, as it then proceeded to win eight straight games (5-3 ATS) before dropping its final regular season game six days ago, at LA-Lafayette. We'll lay the points with Arlington, as it is 35-19 ATS off a loss, and 6-0 ATS this season when playing with revenge. Take Arlington.

The Monarchs stumbled in their final regular season game at Texas San Antonio, as the Roadrunners upset them as 8-point underdogs. But I love Old Dominion to bounce back on this Thursday, as it falls into 195-146, 59-19 and 91-35 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams off upset losses.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the UNLV Rebels + the points over Utah State. The Rebels are 0-9 SU and 1-7-1 ATS their last nine games, but we'll take them in this home underdog role tonight, as they fall into a 99-44 ATS system of mine that plays on certain teams on long losing streaks. Additionally, this will be UNLV's final home game of the season. And teams are 64% ATS since 1990 in their final home games, if they're off 3+ losses and their foe is off a win by more than 16 points. With Utah State in off an 89-58 win over Air Force, we'll take UNLV on this Wednesday.

And they now return home to face a reeling Washington club, off 10 straight losses. I expect UCLA to have a big letdown tonight, and will take the points with the Huskies, as UCLA falls into negative 124-222 and 130-237 ATS systems of mine that play against certain double-digit favorites off upset wins. Take Washington + the points.

We'll grab the points with UMass, as home dogs of less than 9 points are a solid 59% ATS since 1990 off double-digit upset home wins. Take UMass.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Northern Illinois Huskies minus the points over Western Michigan. The Broncos have won and covered their last six games. But four of those six were home games, while their two road wins were against Miami-Ohio (3-13 in Conference games) and Toledo (8-8 in Conference games). The Broncos have a great home record this season (11-2), but have been horrid away from home (2-13). That doesn't bode well for them in DeKalb tonight. Moreover, the Broncos fall into negative 95-153 and 69-121 ATS systems of mine that go against teams on long ATS win streaks. Finally, Northern Illinois does come into this game off a 16-point loss at Eastern Michigan. But NIU falls into a great 46-8 ATS angle of mine which plays on certain favorites in conference games off a double digit loss when matched up against teams off back to back wins. Take Northern Illinois. Elite Info Winner. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Duke Blue Devils minus the points over Florida State. Duke comes into this game on a rare 2-game losing streak, as it was upset by both Syracuse and Miami. So the Blue Devils should be in an ornery mood tonight. Making matters worse for Florida State is that it already defeated Duke in Tallahassee by 16 points earlier this year. And Duke is an awesome 78% ATS since 1995 as a favorite when playing with same season revenge vs. a foe off back to back wins. Finally, this is Duke's final home game of the season. And teams playing their final home game are 63.2% ATS since 1999 off back to back upset losses! Take Duke. Payback Payday. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Meanwhile, Samford's a poor 25-44 ATS home (or neutral) court favorite. Take The Citadel.

Indeed, we had a big play on NC State this past Tuesday vs. Georgia Tech when the Wolfpack were on a 7-game SU/ATS skid. Coincidentally, the Eagles fall into one of my systems that also tabbed NC State five days ago, and that angle has now cashed 14 in a row, and is 98-44 ATS since 1990. Take Eastern Michigan.

They're now on a 9-2 run, and have also covered their last nine ballgames. But it's tough to back the Miners tonight, and especially given that they're off back to back road wins, and the game is competitively-priced. For technical support, consider that UTEP is 0-15 ATS following back to back wins away from home when the line was single-digits. Take the Owls. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs minus the points over Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have dropped four straight games, but have been competitive in their last five, as they're 4-1 ATS, with their only ATS loss by a mere point. Miss State is a super 47-25 ATS at home off back to back losses, and is also 7-0 ATS its last 7 at home with same-season revenge vs. .640 (or worse) foes. And SEC Conference home teams, off back to back losses, are 262-196 ATS vs. conference foes if our home team's conference record is worse than its opponent's, and its opponent is NOT off back to back losses. But that's not the best part. If our home team is favored, and also playing with same season revenge, then our 262-196 stat zooms to 35-14 ATS. Take the Bulldogs. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

But NC State was inferior to each of those seven opponents; it's not inferior to Georgia Tech, as my numbers actually rate NC State as the slightly better club. However, NC State's long losing streak has caused the pointspread to be somewhat inflated. We'll grab the points with (lame duck coach) Mark Gottfried's men, as NC State falls into 97-44, 99-55 and 77-42 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams on SU/ATS losing streaks. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets are a dismal 2-12 SU and 0-14 ATS when favored by less than 13 points, if they're playing an opponent off 3+ ATS losses. Take the Wolfpack.

But I look for Baylor to rebound on this Tuesday, and blow out the Sooners, as Baylor is 50-21 ATS in the regular season off back to back losses, including a perfect 7-0 ATS vs. .460 (or worse) opponents! Even better: .800+ teams, at Game 25 forward, have cashed 63% at home over the past 27 seasons off back to back losses. Lay the points with Baylor.
