Big Al McMordie Football Top Picks
Date Match Up Rating Score Result Profit Lead Time Analysis
10-16-22 Jaguars v. Colts OVER 41 Top 27-34 Win 100 10 h 58 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Over in the Indianapolis/Jacksonville game.  The first meeting this season was a low-scoring game, as the Jaguars won 24-0.  And that was the 4th straight meeting between these two division rivals that went under the total.  Also, each of these teams went under the total last week.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to look for another low-scoring game here.  But I'll take the Over, as NFL division games have gone Over the total 55% of the time if both teams went Under their previous game; the season's previous meeting went Under, as well as the teams' last 3 meetings overall.  Take the Over.

10-16-22 Bucs v. Steelers +10 Top 18-20 Win 100 10 h 56 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Steelers + the points over Tampa Bay.  The Steelers were blown out by 35 points last week in Kenny Pickett's first start, which wasn't wholly unexpected.  But off that debacle, I'll grab the points with the Men of Steel, as NFL teams that scored less than 7 points, and lost by 35+ points have covered 63.9% since 1990.  Take Pittsburgh.

10-16-22 Bengals -2.5 v. Saints Top 30-26 Win 100 10 h 55 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over New Orleans.  Cincinnati lost on the road last week to Baltimore, and it's back on the road this week.  It's been installed as a road favorite vs. the Saints, who won last week, 39-32, vs. Seattle.  The good news for Joe Burrow & Co. is that road favorites are 65.2% ATS off a road loss, if matched up against a foe off a win.  Take Cincinnati.

10-15-22 North Carolina v. Duke +7.5 Top 38-35 Win 100 16 h 25 m Show

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Duke Blue Devils + the points over North Carolina.  The Blue Devils were upset in overtime, 23-20, by Georgia Tech last week to fall to 4-2 on the season.  They'll now welcome their rival, North Carolina, to Durham, and have been installed as a home underdog.  UNC is 5-1 this year following its upset win at Miami last Saturday.  Unfortunately for Carolina, favorites off an upset win have covered just 32% over the last 43 years when playing a .666 (or better) conference foe off an upset loss.  Take Duke + the points.

10-15-22 USC v. Utah -3.5 Top 42-43 Loss -105 16 h 21 m Show

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Utah Utes minus the points over Southern Cal.  The Utes were upset on the road last week by UCLA, 42-32.  And that was Utah's 2nd loss on the season.  But both losses were away from home; here, in Salt Lake City, Utah is 19-1 SU its last 20 vs. Division 1 FBS teams, and 14-6 ATS.  USC is now 6-0 after its blowout of Washington State.  But undefeated teams, with a 6-0 (or better) record, are a soft 33% as underdogs of more than 3 points against foes off an upset loss.  Additionally, Utah is 12-4 ATS off an upset loss when matched up against a foe off a double-digit win.  And USC is a poor 26-48-1 ATS on the road off a win.  Take the Utes.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 Clemson v. Florida State +4 Top 34-28 Loss -110 37 h 9 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Florida State Seminoles + the points over Clemson.  The Seminoles lost by 10 points to Clemson last season, so they play with revenge on Saturday night vs. the undefeated Tigers.  FSU's been installed as a home underdog in this ACC contest.  And the Seminoles have covered 67% as revenge-minded home dogs since 1980 vs. conference rivals.  Even better:  Florida State lost on the road, 19-17, to NC State last week, which was its second straight loss.  But the Seminoles are 41-23-3 ATS off a SU road loss.  And single-digit ACC home dogs, off back to back losses, are a super 75% ATS vs. conference rivals off back to back wins.  Grab the points with Florida State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

10-15-22 Mississippi State v. Kentucky +4 Top 17-27 Win 100 16 h 51 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Kentucky Wildcats + the points over Mississippi State.  QB Will Levis was injured in Kentucky's 22-19 loss at Mississippi two weeks ago, and missed last week's home loss to South Carolina.  But Levis has been upgraded to 'probable' for this game.  The Wildcats have a solid defense, and are giving up just 16.3 ppg.  And that's key, as .666 (or better) home underdogs off back to back losses, that give up 20.5 (or less) points per game, have covered 64.7% since 1980.  Take Kentucky + the points.

10-15-22 Arizona v. Washington UNDER 72 Top 39-49 Loss -110 14 h 47 m Show

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the Under in the Washington/Arizona game.  The Huskies lost at Arizona State, 45-38, last Saturday.  And that game total of 83 points was the most for a Huskies conference game since it beat California, 66-27, in 2016.  We'll look for a much lower-scoring game this evening, as Pac-12 teams have gone under 59% in conference games after a conference game that totaled more than 77 points.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 Texas State v. Troy -16 Top 14-17 Loss -110 33 h 54 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our Sun Belt Conference Game of the Month is on the Troy Trojans minus the points over Texas State.  The Bobcats pulled off a major upset last week, as a 20-point home underdog against Appalachian State.  Texas State was outgained by 102 yards, yet stunned the Mountaineers, 36-24.  But off that upset win, we'll look for a letdown at Troy on Saturday afternoon.  Indeed, Sun Belt underdogs of more than 3 points have cashed just 12 of 49 games vs. conference foes off a straight-up win.  The Trojans come into this game on a 3-game win streak (and 4-game ATS win streak).  Unfortunately for the Bobcats, they're 9-18 ATS on the road vs. foes off a win, including 0-5 ATS their last five.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 Charlotte v. UAB UNDER 63.5 Top 20-34 Win 100 33 h 53 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our Conference USA Total of the Year is on the UNDER in the Charlotte/UAB game.  Charlotte has the worst defense in college football, as it's giving up 46.3 ppg.  Not surprisingly, its last five games have all sailed over the total.  And each of its last four games have totaled more than 75 points.  But this horrendous defense has led to our Over/Under line being a bit inflated here.  If one throws out UAB's first game - a 59-0 win against FCS foe Alabama A&M - then its four games against Division 1 FBS teams have averaged 49.5 ppg.  UAB comes into this game off a 27-point blowout win over Middle Tenn.  And UAB has gone 'under' the total 16 of 24 following a double-digit win.  The Under also falls into a Totals system of mine which has cashed 64.5%.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 NC State v. Syracuse -3 Top 9-24 Win 100 33 h 52 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Syracuse Orange minus the points over NC State.  In a battle of top 20-ranked clubs, we'll lay the points with the undefeated home team.  Syracuse has stormed out to a 5-0 record.  And it's also 4-1 ATS.  On Saturday, it will welcome a Wolfpack squad which is 5-1 SU, but just 2-4 ATS after dropping its 3rd straight "in Vegas" last weekend.  This will be the Wolfpack's 3rd road game of the season.  It lost ATS its first two.  And it's a wallet-breaking 8-33-2 ATS on the road when unrested, and priced from +7.5 to -7.5 points.  Take the Orange.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 Oklahoma State v. TCU -3.5 Top 40-43 Loss -120 33 h 51 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the TCU Horned Frogs minus the points over Oklahoma State.  TCU comes into this game with an unblemished 5-0 record.  And it's also an undefeated 4-0-1 ATS.  That bodes well for it on Saturday, as over the last 42 years, at Game 6 forward, NCAA teams that were undefeated both SU and ATS have covered the spread 64% of the time, if they weren't favored by 7+ points, and were playing at home, or on a neutral field.  Additionally, the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.  Last year, the Cowboys crushed the Frogs, 63-17.  But TCU is a solid 15-1 SU and 13-3 ATS when playing with revenge, if it was favored at home, and owned an .800 (or better) win percentage.  Take TCU.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-15-22 Northern Illinois v. Eastern Michigan UNDER 66 Top 39-10 Win 100 12 h 48 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Northern Illinois/Eastern Michigan game.  The Huskies have played all six of their games over the total this season, including their last two games that each totaled > 80 points, which has led to an inflated over/under line for this contest.  Northern Illinois has gone under the total 70% after back to back games where 70+ points were scored.  We'll look for a relatively-low scoring game here.  Take the Under.

10-15-22 Ohio v. Western Michigan UNDER 60 Top 33-14 Win 100 12 h 47 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Ohio/Western Michigan game.  Both of these teams come into this afternoon's game off high-scoring contests.  The Bobcats put up 55 points last week in a 55-34 blowout of Akron, while Western Michigan lost, 45-23, at home to Eastern Michigan.  The Broncos are 12-6 Under after allowing 40+ points, while Ohio is 16-8 Under after scoring 40+ points.  Take the Under.

10-14-22 Navy v. SMU -12.5 Top 34-40 Loss -107 13 h 57 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the SMU Mustangs minus the points over Navy.  The Mustangs lost at Central Florida, 41-19, last week.  And that was their third straight loss, and 4th straight ATS defeat.  Meanwhile, Navy pulled off a big upset win against Tulsa, 53-21, as a 4.5-point home dog.  We'll lay the points with SMU tonight, as conference favorites of -3 (or more) points, on a 4-game ATS losing streak, have covered 75.8% since 1980 vs. foes on a 3-game ATS win streak, if their foe was off a SU win the previous week.  Moreover, SMU is a solid 29-18 ATS in Conference games off back to back losses, if it was also on a 2-game ATS losing streak.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-13-22 Washington Commanders -105 v. Bears Top 12-7 Win 100 18 h 34 m Show

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Washington Commanders over the Chicago Bears.  Washington has lost its last four games, including a heartbreaking 21-17 defeat last week vs. Tennessee.  The Commanders had the ball first-and-goal on the Titans' 1-yard line, with less than a half-minute to go in the game.  But they couldn't get the ball into the end zone and the game ended with an interception on the 3rd down play.  The Bears also lost last week to the Vikings, 29-22, but covered the 8.5-point spread.  We'll take Washington in this match-up, as road teams have covered the spread 62% since 2005 if they were off back to back losses, not getting more than 3 points, and were playing a non-division foe off an ATS win.  Even better:  the Commanders are 9-0 ATS their last nine meetings vs. the Bears in Chicago.  Take Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-12-22 UL-Lafayette v. Marshall -10 Top 23-13 Loss -110 7 h 12 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Marshall Thundering Herd minus the points over Louisiana.  The Rajin' Cajuns come into tonight's game off 3 straight losses, but they covered the spread in their most recent game -- a 20-17 home loss to South Alabama.  Meanwhile, Marshall defeated Gardner Webb, 28-7, to start October, but failed to cover the 31.5-point spread.  And that was the Thundering Herd's third straight ATS defeat.  Marshall's been installed as a double-digit favorite tonight.  And NCAA home teams, priced from -7 to -25 points, have been solid (108-75-3 ATS) off three straight ATS losses when matched up against foes off a point spread win.  Lay the points with Marshall.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-09-22 Cowboys v. Rams -5 Top 22-10 Loss -110 59 h 34 m Show

At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams minus the points over Dallas.  Last week, the Rams were throttled by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, 24-9.  And that continued coach Sean McVay's point spread failures following back-to-back wins, as the Rams are now 11-28 ATS in that situation.  But the Rams excel following a straight-up loss, as they're 14-6 SU and 13-6-1 ATS in those games.  Even better:  defending Super Bowl champs have covered 72% following a road game where they failed to cover the spread by more than 10 points.  And Dallas is 2-9 ATS as a road underdog of more than 4 points off back to back ATS wins.  Lay the points with Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-09-22 49ers v. Panthers OVER 38.5 Top 37-15 Win 100 58 h 11 m Show

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the OVER in the San Francisco/Carolina game.  Both of these teams have been playing low-scoring games this season.  San Francisco's 4 games have gone under the total by 11.87 ppg, while Carolina's 4 games have gone under by 1.62 ppg.  This game is a technical play for me, as it falls into Totals systems that have records of 101-51, 78-53, 71-43, 64-34 and 40-12.  Additionally, the Panthers are 8-2 OVER the total following 3+ Unders, while the Niners are 6-2 OVER after 3 straight games under.  Take the 49ers/Panthers Over.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

10-09-22 49ers v. Panthers +7 Top 37-15 Loss -130 43 h 49 m Show

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Panthers + the points over San Francisco.  The Niners played an emotional game last week when they took down the defending Super Bowl champion Rams, 24-9, in San Francisco.  Off that big divisional win, I expect a letdown in this non-division road game.  Indeed, over the last 42 years, NFL road favorites have covered just 37% vs. non-division foes off a SU/ATS loss, if our road favorite was off a Monday Night divisional contest.  Take Carolina + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-09-22 Falcons v. Bucs -9.5 Top 15-21 Loss -110 40 h 45 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Bucs minus the points over the Atlanta Falcons.  The Falcons come into this game with a 4-0 ATS record, and have won their last 2 straight up as underdogs vs. the Browns and Seahawks.  They're also covering the spread by an average of 5.12 ppg (Tampa's covering by just 1.37 ppg).  Unfortunately for the Falcons, Tom Brady's teams have gone 19-0 ATS off a straight-up loss, if they owned a worse point spread differential than their opponent, and their opponent was off back to back wins!  Take Tampa Bay minus the points.

10-09-22 Titans v. Washington Commanders OVER 42.5 Top 21-17 Loss -110 40 h 45 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Over in the Tennessee/Washington game.  The Commanders had trouble scoring in their last two games but they faced two tough defenses in Philadelphia and Dallas.  The Eagles are giving up just 17.5 ppg, while Dallas is surrendering just 15.5 ppg.  But the Titans are giving up 25.25 ppg, so I expect Carson Wentz & Co. to do much better on offense.  The Titans are 4-0 Over their last 4 (and 9-2 Over their last 11) as road favorites.  Take the Titans/Commanders game Over the total.

10-09-22 Seahawks v. Saints -4.5 Top 32-39 Win 100 40 h 43 m Show

At 1 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints minus the points over Seattle.  The Seahawks won a thriller in Detroit last week, 48-45, and are an underdog at New Orleans this Sunday.  We’ll lay the points, as favorites have covered 64.3% since 1980 if their opponent was off an upset win, and scored 48+ points the previous week.  Additionally, the Saints are 10-0 ATS when favored in non-division games, if they were off a loss, owned a losing record, and their opponent was off a win.  Lay the points with the Saints.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-09-22 Titans v. Washington Commanders +2 Top 21-17 Loss -110 40 h 42 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Washington Commanders + the points over Tennessee.  Last week, the Titans upset the Indianapolis Colts, 24-17, as a 4-point road underdog, to move their record to 2-2 SU/ATS this season.  Washington is 1-3 SU/ATS after dropping a 25-10 decision to rival Dallas on the road.  We'll fade the Titans, as they're 0-9-1 ATS in non-division games following an upset win, if matched up against an opponent off a SU loss.  And Washington is a solid 37-21 ATS as an underdog of +10 (or less) points when playing a non-division foe off back to back wins.  Take Washington + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 Clemson -20 v. Boston College Top 31-3 Win 100 38 h 7 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Clemson Tigers minus the points over Boston College.  The Eagles stunned Louisville last week, 34-33, as a 13.5-point home underdog.  And that was the first time all season that Boston College covered the point spread (BC is 2-3 SU, and 1-4 ATS, and has failed to cover by an average of 5.25 ppg this season).  The Eagles will remain in Chestnut Hill on Saturday night to take on the highly-ranked Tigers.  Unfortunately for the Eagles, they're a terrible 10-17-1 ATS at home off an upset win, including 0-6 ATS vs. foes off a SU/ATS win.  And with Clemson in off a 30-20 win over then-No. 10 ranked-NC State, our 0-6 angle is satisfied.  Even worse for the Eagles:  Clemson is a dominant 23-7-1 ATS vs. foes off an upset win, including 16-0 ATS vs. < .750 foes that have an average point spread differential less than 3 ppg.  Lay the points with Clemson.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 Western Kentucky +7 v. UTSA Top 28-31 Win 100 36 h 26 m Show

At 6:00 pm, our selection is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers + the points over Texas-San Antonio.  Both teams enter this game with identical 3-2 SU/ATS records.  The Hilltoppers lost at home, 34-27, as a 5-point home favorite to Troy last Saturday, while UTSA defeated Middle Tennessee, 45-30.  This game is a rematch of last season's Conference USA championship game, which was won by the Roadrunners, 49-41.  We'll take Western Kentucky to avenge that defeat, as it is 16-0 ATS on the road when priced from -3 to +12 points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

10-08-22 Western Kentucky v. UTSA UNDER 73.5 Top 28-31 Win 100 36 h 17 m Show

At 6 pm, our selection is on Texas-San Antonio and Western Kentucky Under the total.  The Roadrunners have played all five of their games over the total.  And their games have totaled 72, 79, 61, 76 and 75 points.  These extremely high-scoring games have led to a very high Over/Under line for this game.  I think the line is too high.  Indeed, NCAA games with Over/Under lines greater than 71 points have gone under the total 58% of the time if a team's previous two games went over the total, and each totaled more than 71 points.  Additionally, the Under falls into a Totals system of mine which has cashed 64.1%.  Take the Hilltoppers and Roadrunners Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 Duke -3.5 v. Georgia Tech Top 20-23 Loss -110 35 h 44 m Show

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Duke Blue Devils minus the points over Georgia Tech.  The Yellow Jackets fired coach Geoff Collins and athletic director Todd Stansbury last month on the heels of a 27-10 loss to UCF (which was Georgia Tech's 9th straight loss to a Division 1 FBS opponent).  Brent Key was named interim head football coach, and his team rewarded him with a 26-21 upset win at Pittsburgh last Saturday.  The Jackets were massive 21.5-point underdogs in that game, and were outgained on the day by the Panthers.  But Georgia Tech took advantage of 3 Pittsburgh turnovers to get the outright win.  But off that upset, I expect a letdown vs. Duke, as losing teams have covered just 33% as home dogs since 1983 off upset wins as a dog of more than 21 points.  Take Duke to rout the Yellow Jackets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 Utah v. UCLA +3.5 Top 32-42 Win 100 34 h 1 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the UCLA Bruins + the points over Utah.  This is a great Pac-12 battle at the Rose Bowl on Saturday afternoon.  Utah opened its season with an upset loss at the hands of the Florida Gators, 29-26.  But the Utes have rebounded to win and cover each of their next four games, and have been installed as a road favorite here, in Pasadena.  UCLA, for its part, survived a scare by South Alabama in Week 3, and is now 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS.  And both teams are undefeated in Pac-12 play, with 2-0 records (USC and Oregon are also undefeated).  The Bruins have historically been strong as a home underdog, including an awesome 31-12-2 ATS against foes not off a point spread loss.  Meanwhile, Utah is an underwhelming 9-19 ATS as a single-digit road favorite vs. an opponent off a SU win.  And Pac-12 road teams, with a 2-0 (or better) conference record, have covered just 30 of 78 games vs. foes with a winning Pac-12 record.  Take UCLA + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 Toledo v. Northern Illinois UNDER 60 Top 52-32 Loss -110 34 h 45 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on Toledo and Northern Illinois Under the total.  We had our NCAA Total of the Month in September on the Under in Toledo's game vs. San Diego State, and we'll come right back with the Under in this game vs. Northern Illinois.  The Huskies are 43-24 Under in home conference games.  And the Under also falls into a 98-49 Totals system of mine.  Take the Under.

10-08-22 Missouri v. Florida -10.5 Top 17-24 Loss -105 31 h 39 m Show

At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the Florida Gators minus the points over Missouri.  The Tigers almost pulled off the season's biggest upset last week when they took #1 Georgia down to the wire before falling, 26-22, as a 31-point home dog.  That will be a tough game to bounce back from, as NCAA teams have covered just 31.8% after losing to the defending National Champs by a touchdown or less.  And the SEC road has not been kind to Missouri, as the Tigers are a dismal 7-20 SU and 8-19 ATS at SEC rivals, including 1-18 SU and 5-14 ATS when not favored by more than 3 points.  Florida is a powerful 71% since 1980 as a double-digit home favorite vs. losing teams off an ATS win.  Lay the points with the Gators.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-08-22 TCU v. Kansas +7 Top 38-31 Push 0 30 h 17 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks + the points over TCU.  The Horned Frogs and Jayhawks are both undefeated SU and ATS this season.  TCU is 4-0 SU/ATS following an upset win over the Oklahoma Sooners, 55-24, while Kansas is 5-0 SU/ATS following an upset win over Iowa State, 14-11.  We'll fade TCU as road favorites off an upset win in which they scored 50+ points are an abysmal 1-12 ATS their last 13.  Take Kansas + the points.

10-07-22 Houston +2.5 v. Memphis Top 33-32 Win 100 14 h 22 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars + the points over Memphis.  The Coogs have largely stumbled this season, as they're 1-4 ATS, and have lost two games outright as 8.5 and 4.5-point favorites.  Their lone point spread win this season was when they were installed as a 4-point underdog at Texas Tech.  And they covered the spread in that game -- a 33-30 loss.  Houston is 22-11-1 ATS its last 34 as an underdog, including 14-4-1 ATS on the road.  That bodes well for Houston here.  As does the fact that the Cougars are 10-2 ATS off an upset loss at home to a conference rival.  Meanwhile, the Tigers are a wallet-breaking 10-35-1 ATS as a single-digit home favorite!  Grab the points with Houston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-02-22 Cardinals +1.5 v. Panthers Top 26-16 Win 100 59 h 47 m Show

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Cardinals over the Carolina Panthers.  The Cardinals made the playoffs last season, but one of their not-so-good games came at the hands of the Panthers, who blew them out, 34-10, as a 7-point road underdog.  And, improbably, that was the sixth straight double-digit win (including 3 straight upsets) by Carolina over Arizona in this series.  The Cardinals have surely gotten off to a worrisome 1-2 start this year.  They know they can’t fall to 1-3 as that might be too deep of a hole from which to dig out.  Part of the reason Arizona is 1-2 is that it was saddled with a difficult opening schedule.  Indeed, its first 3 opponents (Chiefs, Raiders, Rams) also made the Playoffs last season.  But this week's opponent -- Carolina -- was just 5-12 last season, so it's a step-down in class for Arizona.  For technical support, consider that NFL underdogs with a losing record, that made the Playoffs the previous season, have gone 19-2 ATS in Week 4, if they were playing another losing team.  Take the Cardinals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-02-22 Chargers -5 v. Texans Top 34-24 Win 100 56 h 37 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers minus the points over Houston.  The Chargers were upset at home by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, 38-10.  But off that upset loss, I’ll look for Los Angeles to rebound here, as road favorites off 17-point (or worse) upset losses have covered 72% since 1998.  Even better:  the Chargers are 49-29-6 ATS off an upset loss.  And they're also 27-6-2 ATS on the road following a game where they scored less than 14 points, provided they weren't getting more than 10 in the current game.  Lay the points with the Chargers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-02-22 Jaguars v. Eagles OVER 45.5 Top 21-29 Win 100 8 h 46 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars OVER the total.  The Jaguars are giving up just 12.66 ppg, and outscoring their foes by 15.33 ppg, while Philly is surrendering just 16.66 ppg, and outscoring its foes by 12 ppg.  I think this will be a high scoring affair.  At Game 4 forward, when you get a team (like Jacksonville) holding its opponents to 13 or less points per game, its games have gone Over the total 60.1% since 1980 if the Line was greater than 41 points.  And in matchups between two teams with scoring margins > 7 ppg, those games have gone Over the total 57% since 1980 when the line was greater than 43 points.  Take the Over.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-02-22 Washington Commanders +3.5 v. Cowboys Top 10-25 Loss -122 8 h 44 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Washington Commanders + the points over the Dallas Cowboys.  Washington opened its season with a nice win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but lost to Detroit and Philly in Weeks 2 + 3.  In contrast, the Cowboys opened their season with a loss to Tampa, but rebounded in Weeks 2 + 3 with back to back upset wins, including a 23-16 victory at the New York Giants this past Monday.  Unfortunately for Dallas, NFL teams off a division upset win (and back to back upset wins, overall) have covered just 22% the past 43 seasons vs. division foes off back to back SU/ATS losses.  That doesn't bode well for the Cowboys this afternoon.  Nor does the fact that this has been an underdog-oriented rivalry, with the dog going 50-26-1 ATS in the last 77 meetings.  Grab the points with Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 UAB -10 v. Rice Top 24-28 Loss -110 54 h 53 m Show

At 7:30pm, our selection is on the Alabama-Birmingham Blazers minus the points over Rice. This is a huge revenge game for the Blazers, as they were favored by 23.5 points last year at home vs. Rice, but lost, 30-24.  The Owls hung tough at Houston last Saturday, but ultimately succumbed to the Cougars, 34-27, as a 17.5-point road underdog.  UAB had last week off after defeating Georgia Southern two weeks ago, 35-21, as an 11.5-point home favorite.  We played on UAB in that victory, and will come back with them here, on the road, at Rice.  UAB is a solid 14-7-2 ATS when playing with rest vs. a conference foe.  And Rice is a horrid 1-10 ATS when getting 2+ points against a revenge-minded foe.  Lay the points with Alabama-Birmingham.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 NC State v. Clemson UNDER 45.5 Top 20-30 Loss -110 17 h 43 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Clemson/North Carolina State game.  Earlier in the week, it appeared as if Columbia, SC may have been in for some real bad weather today.  And the Over/Under line got as low as 39.5 in anticipation of that.  But the city has been fortunate to largely escape the wrath of Hurricane Ian, and today's game will be played under mostly cloudy skies, and with low wind.  So, the Over/Under line has snapped back to where it was last Sunday night.  Last week, the Wolfpack blew out UConn, 41-10, while the Tigers won, 51-45, over Wake Forest.  But I look for a lower-scoring game here, as the Tigers are 16-9 UNDER after playing a game Over the total.  And they're 28-12 UNDER after scoring 45+ points in their previous game.  Moreover, ACC games have gone 55-30 UNDER if both teams went OVER in their previous game.  Take the Wolfpack/Tigers game UNDER the total.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 Oklahoma State +2.5 v. Baylor Top 36-25 Win 100 52 h 31 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys + the points over Baylor.  This game has been circled for months on the Cowboys' calendar, as Baylor knocked it off in the Big 12 Title game last December.  The Bears were a touchdown underdog in that game, but won a thriller, 21-16, when the Cowboys' Dezmon Jackson came up inches short of a game-winning TD when he dove for the pylon on a 4th-and-goal play with less than 30 seconds left in the game.  Two weeks ago, Oklahoma State blew out Pine Bluff, 63-7.  And Okie State is 41-12 ATS off a win in which it scored 50+ points.  Additionally, early in the season, rested, revenging road teams have cashed 65.9% when playing with revenge from an upset loss, if not favored by 7+ points in the current game.  Take the Cowboys + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 Texas State +22 v. James Madison Top 13-40 Loss -110 49 h 29 m Show

At 1:30 pm, our selection is on the Texas State Bobcats + the points over James Madison.  This is JMU's first season at the Division 1 (FBS) level, and it's off to a 3-0 SU/ATS start, with three impressive victories over Middle Tenn (44-7), Norfolk (63-7) and Appalachian St (32-28).  We played on the Dukes last week, as a touchdown underdog, and it stormed back from an early 28-3 deficit to upend Appalachian St in Boone.  The Dukes return home to Harrisonburg for this game, and have been installed as a greater-than-three-touchdown favorite against the Bobcats.  Off that big emotional win (its first conference game at this level), I'll look for a letdown on Saturday.  Take Texas State + the points.

10-01-22 Michigan v. Iowa +11 Top 27-14 Loss -110 48 h 1 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes + the points over Michigan.  The Hawkeyes come into this game off back to back SU/ATS wins, as they held their last two opponents (Rutgers, Nevada) to 10 and 0 points, respectively.  For the season, Iowa's given up just 5.7 ppg.  And they're holding their opponents to a mere 2.2 yards per rush.  I like playing on certain defensive-minded underdogs with strong rush defenses.  Indeed, since 1980, at Game 5 forward, NCAA underdogs that give up less than 14 points per game, and less than 2.75 ypr, are 122-68 ATS if they come into the game off a momentum-building win.  Even better:  if our puppy is playing at home vs. a conference foe, then our 122-68 ATS angle zooms to 21-5 ATS.  Take Iowa + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 Temple v. Memphis -18 Top 3-24 Win 100 48 h 0 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Memphis Tigers minus the points over Temple.  This is a big revenge game for Memphis which was upset by Temple last season, 34-31, as an 11-point road favorite.  The Owls do come into this game off three straight ATS wins.  But all three of those games were at home.  In Temple's lone road game this season, it was blown out, 30-0, by Duke.  And that continued the Owls' road woes, as they're 3-14 SU and 5-12 ATS away from home, including 0-5 SU/ATS since Oct 8, 2021.  Even worse:  Temple's 0-7 SU/ATS its last seven conference games, while Memphis is a solid 11-6 ATS at home when playing with revenge vs. a conference foe.  Take Memphis minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

10-01-22 Navy v. Air Force -14 Top 10-13 Loss -110 48 h 57 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Air Force minus the points over Navy.  The Midshipmen upset East Carolina last Saturday, 23-20, while Air Force ran over Nevada, 48-20.  We'll fade Navy, as it's 5-20 ATS in non-conference games off an upset win, if its opponent was also off a SU win.  Take Air Force.

10-01-22 Texas Tech +8 v. Kansas State Top 28-37 Loss -110 44 h 53 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders + the points over Kansas State.  Both of these teams pulled off upsets last Saturday.  Texas Tech got the better of Texas, in Lubbock, 37-34, as a 7-point dog.  And, not to be outdone, the Wildcats went into Norman, and stunned the highly-ranked Sooners, 41-34, as a 13.5-point underdog.  K-State will try to make it two-conference-wins-in-a-row on Saturday when the Red Raiders pay a visit to Manhattan.  But Big 12 (or Big 8) Conference home favorites have only covered 32.1% since 1980 off a conference upset road win, if they were matched up against a conference foe which also won its previous game.  Grab the points with Texas Tech.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-30-22 Washington v. UCLA +3 Top 32-40 Win 100 35 h 52 m Show

At 10:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the UCLA Bruins + the points over Washington.  Both of these Pac-12 teams sport 4-0 records in the early going.  Last Saturday, Washington blew out Stanford in Seattle to move to 4-0 SU/ATS, while UCLA went into Boulder and crushed Colorado, 45-17.  We'll grab the points with Chip Kelly's men on Friday, and go against Washington, as Pac-12 road favorites of 8 or less points have covered just 27.7% against foes that don't have a worse record, if our road team was off a win + cover as a home favorite.  Even better:  the Bruins are 23-9-2 ATS as a home dog vs. foes off a point spread win.  Take UCLA + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

09-29-22 Dolphins v. Bengals -3.5 Top 15-27 Win 100 9 h 41 m Show

At 8:15 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over Miami.  Last week, in a battle of undefeated, 2-0 teams, Miami bested Buffalo, 21-19, as a 4.5-point home underdog.  But after toppling the Bills from the ranks of the unbeatens, we'll fade Miami on the road tonight.  Indeed, over the last 42 years, at Game 4 forward, .500 (or better) NFL road dogs have cashed just 32.6% after knocking off an undefeated team, provided they weren't favored by 3+ points in that previous game.  And Miami is a miserable 11-31 ATS off an upset win over a division rival.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-25-22 Bengals -6 v. Jets Top 27-12 Win 100 56 h 10 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over the New York Jets.  Last year, the Bengals reached the Super Bowl.  This season, they've not yet found similar success.  Indeed, Cincy is 0-2 SU/ATS after its first two games.  But I love the Bengals to bounce back on Sunday.  Since 1980, NFL teams that made the playoffs the previous season have cashed 60% in Game 3 after starting the season winless SU/ATS.  That bodes well for the Bengals here.  As does the fact that the Jets are a horrid 66-116-6 ATS at home vs. foes that don’t have a winning record, including 13-32 ATS vs. foes off an upset loss.  Lay the points with the Bengals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

09-25-22 Chiefs v. Colts +5.5 Top 17-20 Win 100 56 h 46 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Indianapolis Colts + the points over Kansas City.  The Colts were shut out, 24-0, by the Jaguars last Sunday.  However, off that embarrassing defeat, we'll take Indy as a big home underdog against the Chiefs.  The Colts are a solid 48-23 ATS off a straight-up loss, while KC has covered just 38 of 93 games as a favorite vs. foes off back to back losses.  And since 1980, NFL teams, like Indianapolis, that scored less than 6 points in an upset loss have gone 104-74-4 ATS in their subsequent game.  Take the home underdog Colts.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 Wyoming v. BYU -21.5 Top 24-38 Loss -110 48 h 51 m Show

At 10:15 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars minus the points over Wyoming.  The Cougars were blown out last week, 41-20, at Oregon, while Wyoming upset Air Force, 17-14.  We'll look for BYU to crush the Cowboys, as BYU has covered 70.5% over the last 42 years off a loss, when installed as a home favorite against non-conference foes, including 6-0-1 ATS their last seven when also off a double-digit loss!  Lay the points with Brigham Young.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

09-24-22 USC v. Oregon State +6 Top 17-14 Win 100 42 h 13 m Show

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Oregon State Beavers + the points over USC.  The Beavers enter with a 3-0 SU/ATS record after blowing out Montana State last Saturday, 68-28.  They're a home dog here, so we'll grab the points knowing that conference underdogs of more than 4 points have covered 57% over the last 42 years, if they scored 68+ points in their previous game.  Moreover, USC is an ugly 14-28 ATS away from home off a point spread win.  Take Oregon State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 Charlotte v. South Carolina -22 Top 20-56 Win 100 46 h 11 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the South Carolina Gamecocks minus the points over Charlotte.  The Gamecocks were blown out here, at home in Columbia, last Saturday.  The #1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs rolled into town, and roasted the Gamecocks, 48-7.  But off that debacle, I love Shane Beamer's men to rebound on Saturday night.  Indeed, over the last 42 years, NCAA home favorites of -16 (or more) points, off a home loss by 16+ points, have covered 82.3% vs. non-conference foes off a win.  With Charlotte off a 42-41 win at Georgia State, we'll fade the 49ers in this game.  Lay the points with South Carolina.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 Wisconsin v. Ohio State -18.5 Top 21-52 Win 100 42 h 30 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Wisconsin.  We played on the Buckeyes last week as our NCAA Favorite of the Month, and were rewarded with a 77-21 blowout over Toledo, as a 31-point favorite.  This Saturday, the Buckeyes are hosting Wisconsin in their Big 10 Conference opener.  Ohio State has won 10 straight conference openers, and is 5-0-1 ATS their last six (and 26-3 SU, 18-7-4 ATS their last 29).  Even better:  the Buckeyes have won 11 of the last 12 meetings, and are 8-3-1 ATS in those games (and 4-0-1 ATS here in Columbus).  We'll lay the points on Saturday night, as undefeated teams have covered 65.1% of conference home games since 1980 off a home game where they covered the spread by 25+ points.  Take the Buckeyes.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 New Mexico +31.5 v. LSU Top 0-38 Loss -110 40 h 14 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the New Mexico Lobos + the points over LSU.  The Tigers pulled off a big upset win last week vs. SEC rival, Mississippi State.  But off that emotional win, we'll fade the Tigers in this non-conference game.  Since 1980, LSU has covered just 30% of non-conference games off upset wins, while the Lobos are 18-8 ATS vs. foes off an upset win (including 5-0 vs. non-conference foes).  Take New Mexico + the points.

09-24-22 Wisconsin v. Ohio State UNDER 56.5 Top 21-52 Loss -110 8 h 24 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers UNDER the total.  Last week, we had our biggest play of the season-to-date on Ohio State, and the Buckeyes rolled up 77 points against the Toledo Rockets — the 5th most points scored in school history. But off that high-scoring win, I’ll look for a much lower-scoring affair here. For technical support, consider that NCAA teams have gone Under 55% over the past 10 years after scoring 60 (or more) points in their previous game.  Take the Under.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 Southern Miss +13 v. Tulane Top 27-24 Win 100 40 h 45 m Show

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Southern Mississippi + the points over Tulane.  The Green Wave pulled off a big upset last week when it went into Manhattan, KS, and upset the Wildcats, 17-10, as a 13-point road dog.  We'll fade Tulane on Saturday evening, as it's 2-18 SU and 3-17 ATS off an upset road win, including 0-9 ATS vs. non-conference foes.  Grab the points with Southern Mississippi.

09-24-22 Rice v. Houston -17 Top 27-34 Loss -110 39 h 45 m Show

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over Rice.  The Cougars have dominated this cross-town rivalry since 2011, with 6 straight wins (5-1 ATS).  Houston does come into this game off back to back losses, but it's 9-2 ATS off back to back losses, and 19-8 ATS when it owned a losing point spread record.  Look for Houston to rebound off its losses, and blow out Rice.  Lay the points.

09-24-22 Toledo v. San Diego State UNDER 45.5 Top 14-17 Win 100 48 h 3 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Under in the Toledo/San Diego State game.  We had our biggest play of the season-to-date last week on the Ohio State Buckeyes over Toledo, so we were not surprised when the Buckeyes exploded for 77 points, the 5th-most in school history.  Going into that game, Toledo had allowed just 1 touchdown and 10 total points.  So I expect a much better defensive effort on Saturday vs. the Aztecs, who mustered just 7 points in a 35-7 loss to Utah.  Toledo has gone 7-1 Under as a road favorite of -6 or less points.  Meanwhile, the Aztecs are 40-20-1 Under the total their last 61, 21-7 their last 28 as an underdog, and 18-7 Under their last 25 off a loss.  This will be a very low-scoring game.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-24-22 Florida v. Tennessee -10.5 Top 33-38 Loss -110 40 h 30 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Florida.  The Volunteers come into this game with a 3-0 record, and also play with revenge from a 24-point blowout loss at Florida last season.  It's true that Florida has won the last five meetings.  But revenge-minded favorites, with an .875 (or better) win percentage, have covered 63.8% vs. conference rivals over the last 20 seasons, if they also lost to their opponent two meetings back.  That bodes well for the Volunteers on Saturday.  As does the fact that Florida is a dreadful 0-8 ATS its last eight road games.  Lay the points with Tennessee.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

09-24-22 James Madison v. Appalachian State -7 Top 32-28 Loss -110 36 h 16 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the James Madison Dukes + the points over Appalachian State.  James Madison has been impressive in its first two games as a Division 1 FBS team.  It opened with a 44-7 blowout of Middle Tennessee, as a 5-point home favorite.  And then it walloped Norfolk State, 63-7.  It's been installed as a touchdown underdog at 2-1 Appalachian State, which checks in off back to back wins over Texas A&M and Troy State.  We'll grab the points, as .500 (or better) underdogs of +7 (or more) points have covered 60.9% since 1980 after back to back games where they gave up 7 or less points.  Take James Madison.

09-24-22 Maryland v. Michigan -17 Top 27-34 Loss -100 39 h 24 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Michigan Wolverines minus the points over Maryland.  The Wolves have picked up where they left off last season, as they're 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS.  Over the last two seasons, Jim Harbaugh's troops are 15-2 SU and 13-4 ATS, including 9-1 ATS when priced from -5 to -50 points.  One of those wins last season was against this Maryland team.  Michigan was favored by 16, and won 59-18.  This season, the point spread is similar to last year.  And I expect a similar result.  Maryland is a horrid 4-29 SU and 7-26 ATS vs. winning teams.  And it's 0-13 ATS when playing a .600 (or better) foe, and getting 14+ points.  Take Michigan.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

09-18-22 Bears v. Packers -9.5 Top 10-27 Win 100 54 h 40 m Show

At 8:20 pm, our selection is on the Green Bay Packers minus the points over the Chicago Bears.  Last week, we played on the Minnesota Vikings against Green Bay, and were rewarded with a 23-7 blowout win.  But off that loss, we'll take Aaron Rodgers & Co. to bounce back on Sunday.  And when they're playing the Bears, they generally do bounce back off losses.  Indeed, Green Bay is 19-1-1 ATS its last 21 (including 13-0 ATS its last 13) vs. Chicago if Green Bay failed to cover the spread in its previous game.  And with Aaron Rodgers under center, the Packers are a solid 63-37-3 ATS when not favored by 13 points against an opponent NOT off an ATS loss.  Take Green Bay.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-18-22 Cardinals +6 v. Raiders Top 29-23 Win 100 50 h 44 m Show

At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Cardinals + the points over Las Vegas.  The Cardinals were blown out by Kansas City, 44-21, in Week 1, while Las Vegas lost to the Chargers.  We'll look for Arizona to rebound on Sunday, as underdogs off a double-digit loss in Week 1 have covered 69.4% since 1991 if they owned a winning record the previous season.  Moreover, the Raiders are an atrocious 25-52-1 ATS as a favorite, including 0-9 ATS their last nine.  Grab the points with Arizona.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-18-22 Seahawks v. 49ers -8.5 Top 7-27 Win 100 49 h 27 m Show

At 4:05 pm, our NFC West Division Game of the Year is on the San Francisco 49ers minus the points over Seattle.  The Niners were surprised by the Chicago Bears in Week 1, as they lost, 19-10, as a 7-point road favorite.  Meanwhile, Seattle upset Denver, 17-16, on Monday night.  We'll take the 49ers to bounce back strong on Sunday afternoon, as they're a spectacular 67-28 ATS off an upset loss as a 3-point (or greater) favorite.  Moreover, in week 2, NFL teams off a road loss in Week 1, that made the playoffs the previous year, have covered 68% since 1980 against foes off an upset win to start the season.  Finally, the Seahawks are a poor 6-16-1 ATS in their road openers.  Take San Francisco minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-18-22 Bucs v. Saints +3 Top 20-10 Loss -110 46 h 21 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints + the points over Tampa Bay.  Last week, the Buccaneers played the Cowboys in a match-up of two Playoff teams from the previous season.  Tampa emerged victorious, 19-3, and now travels to play the Saints, who also won its season opener.  We'll fade Tampa Bay, as road favorites have only covered 33% since 1980 in Week 2, if they won SU/ATS in Week 1 against a team that made the playoffs the previous season.  New Orleans is 17-5 SU and 14-8 ATS its last 22 games vs. Tampa Bay, including 2-0 last year, and 7-1 SU/ATS since Dec. 2018.  Take the Saints + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-18-22 Patriots -2 v. Steelers Top 17-14 Win 100 46 h 19 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots minus the points over the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Bill Belichick's men were blown out, 20-7, by Miami in Week 1, while Pittsburgh upended Cincy, 23-20, in overtime.  But with New England off that loss, we'll lay the short number vs. the Steelers.  For technical support, consider that New England is 23-8 ATS its last 31 (and 10-0 SU/ATS its last 10) non-division games when not favored by 3+ points, if it was off a SU loss, and its foe was off a SU win.  Take the Patriots.

09-18-22 Panthers +2 v. Giants Top 16-19 Loss -110 46 h 18 m Show

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Panthers + the points over the New York Giants.  New York won a thriller last week when it scored a touchdown and two-point conversion to stun the Titans (who owned the AFC's #1 record last season), 21-20.  Unfortunately, Game 2 favorites, that defeated a Playoff team from the previous season in its opener, have covered just 42% against foes off a SU loss.  I look for New York to suffer a letdown on this Sunday.  Take Carolina + the points.

09-17-22 San Diego State v. Utah -21 Top 7-35 Win 100 32 h 38 m Show

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Utes minus the points over San Diego State.  Last season, the Aztecs upset the Utes, 33-31, as an 8-point home underdog.  We'll take Utah in this revenge match, as the Utes have cashed 70% at home over the past 42 years when playing with revenge from an upset loss.  And they've cashed 80% since 1980 when playing with revenge against a non-conference foe.  San Diego State, meanwhile, is a soft 37% ATS on the road vs. revenge-minded, non-conference foes.  And Utah also falls into a 75-46 ATS revenge system of mine which plays on certain revenge-minded teams in non-conference games.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 SMU v. Maryland -2.5 Top 27-34 Win 100 29 h 1 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over SMU.  The Mustangs and Terrapins are both 2-0 on the season.  SMU dispatched North Texas (48-10) in Week 1, and Lamar (45-16) last Saturday, while Maryland blew out Buffalo and Charlotte in its games.  The Terps have been installed as a small favorite here, and that's not good news for SMU.  Indeed, the Mustangs are a wallet-breaking 13-39 ATS as a road underdog of +10 (or less) points.  Even worse, NCAAF underdogs are 0-13 ATS their last 13 (and 8-42 ATS their last 50) off back to back games in which they scored more than 40 points.  Take Maryland.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 Toledo v. Ohio State -31.5 Top 21-77 Win 100 29 h 33 m Show

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Toledo.  The Rockets come into this game with a 2-0 record, after winning home games vs. Long Island, 37-0, and UMass, 55-10.  But this is a monstrous step-up in class for Toledo, which will travel 140 miles south to play the Buckeyes in Columbus.  Toledo's generally been horrible out-of-conference when installed as an underdog of more than 2 points.  And especially when playing a .500 (or better) opponent, as it's gone 4-25 SU and 7-22 ATS.  That doesn't bode well for the Rockets on Saturday night.  Ohio State wasn't at its best last week, as it won by only 33 (as a 44.5-point favorite) vs. Arkansas State.  But the Buckeyes were without WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming, both of whom will play on Saturday night.  The return of All-American Smith-Njigba should be especially impactful, as he led OSU with 1606 receiving yards last season.  After Ohio State failed to cover the spread last week, several of my best NCAAF systems -- with records of 65-22, 277-189 and 30-4 ATS -- have been triggered on the Buckeyes.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 Liberty v. Wake Forest -16.5 Top 36-37 Loss -110 26 h 23 m Show

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons minus the points over Liberty.  Wake Forest was impressive last week in its blowout win at Vanderbilt.  The Deacs were favored by 13, and covered the spread in a 45-25 triumph.  They'll look to move their record to 3-0 SU/ATS, as 2-0 Liberty will pay a visit.  Wake is 11-1 SU and 10-2 ATS at home after scoring more than 30 points in back-to-back games.  And it's 6-0-1 ATS when priced from -7.5 to -28 points.  Lay the points with Wake Forest.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 Kansas v. Houston -8.5 Top 48-30 Loss -105 25 h 24 m Show

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over Kansas.  The Cougars will be happy to return to Houston for their 2022 home opener after road games against Texas-San Antonio and Texas Tech.  The Cougars split those two games, and will welcome the 2-0 Jayhawks to TDECU Stadium.  Kansas is 2-0 for the first time since the 2011 season after its upset win as a 2-touchdown underdog at WVU last week.  But Kansas hasn't won 3 straight games since 2009.  And it's a dismal 55-84-1 ATS its last 140, overall, including 7-19-1 ATS off a win, and 2-19-1 ATS if it owned a winning record!  Take Houston minus the points.

09-17-22 Penn State v. Auburn +3 Top 41-12 Loss -110 25 h 57 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers + the points over Penn State.  Both of these teams come into this game with 2-0 records.  Penn State notched a Big 10 win at Purdue, 35-31, and then walloped Ohio, 46-10.  Auburn opened its season with a 26-point win over Mercer, and then outlasted San Jose State last Saturday, 24-16.  A year ago, the Nittany Lions bested the Tigers, 28-20, in Happy Valley, as a 4-point home favorite.  This season's game is in Auburn, where the Tigers have won 17 straight vs. non-conference foes.  Even better:  Auburn is 22-10 ATS at home when playing with revenge, including 9-1 ATS when priced from +2.5 to +10 points.  Finally, the Nittany Lions are a dismal 22-36-3 ATS vs. undefeated opponents, including 2-11 ATS on the road if the Nittany Lions were also undefeated, and also 3-15-1 ATS if its foe was off an ATS loss.  Take Auburn + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 Georgia Southern v. UAB -11.5 Top 21-35 Win 100 25 h 56 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the UAB Blazers minus the points over Georgia Southern.  Last Saturday, the Eagles went into Lincoln as a 23.5-point underdog, and handed Nebraska a 45-42 loss.  And then Nebraska Athletic Director, Trev Alberts, handed coach Scott Frost his walking papers.  Off that big upset win, I look for a letdown on the road in Birmingham.  Indeed, over the past 42 years, underdogs off upset road wins as 14-point (or greater) underdogs, have covered the spread just 39% in their next game when matched up against a .500 (or better) team.  Lay the points with the Blazers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-17-22 South Alabama v. UCLA -15.5 Top 31-32 Loss -103 23 h 25 m Show

At 2 pm, our selection is on the UCLA Bruins minus the points over South Alabama.  UCLA comes into this game with a 2-0 record following wins over Bowling Green (45-17) and Alabama St. (45-7).  South Alabama is also 2-0, as the Jaguars went up north last weekend and upset Central Michigan, 38-24, as a 6-point dog.  And they won SU/ATS in Week 1 against Nicholls St., 48-7.  Unfortunately, teams off an upset win, that are undefeated SU/ATS on the season, have covered just 41% since 1980 as double-digit dogs vs. foes off a SU win.  Even worse:  South Alabama is a woeful 0-8 ATS off a SU/ATS win when matched up against a foe off a SU win.  And the Bruins are a solid 25-7 ATS at home following a big offensive game where they scored 42+ points.  Take UCLA.

09-15-22 Chargers +4 v. Chiefs Top 24-27 Win 100 14 h 44 m Show

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers + the points over the Kansas City Chiefs.  Patrick Mahomes & Co. racked up 44 points last week in a 23-point blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals.  But off that offensive explosion, we will fade KC at home tonight.  Indeed, NFL home teams off a win by more than 20 points to start the season are an awful 1-13-1 ATS.  And the Chargers are 30-14-5 ATS on the road vs. division foes not off a loss.  Grab the points with Los Angeles.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-11-22 Packers v. Vikings +2 Top 7-23 Win 100 106 h 44 m Show

At 4:25 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Minnesota Vikings + the points over the Green Bay Packers.  These two teams split the season series, 1 game apiece.  Minnesota won, 34-31, at home, but Green Bay blew out the Vikings at Lambeau Field, 37-10, in the next-to-last game of the season.  However, QB Kirk Cousins didn’t play in that game due to COVID-19, so Green Bay was installed as a 13-point home favorite, and coasted to an easy win.  After last year's home win, the Vikings have now gone 11-6 ATS as a home dog/pk vs. Green Bay.  And NFC North Division home dogs, as a whole, have gone 91-70-3 ATS in division games.  Finally, in Game 1 divisional matchups between two teams that won at least 8 games the previous season, home dogs have cashed 71% since 1981.  Grab the points with the Vikings.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 Mississippi State -10.5 v. Arizona Top 39-17 Win 100 88 h 3 m Show

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs minus the points over Arizona.  We played on each of these two teams last week -- and won on both of them.  Miss State demolished Memphis 49-23, while Arizona upset San Diego State, 38-20.  But off its huge upset win, we will fade the Wildcats on Saturday night.  Arizona is a wallet-busting 39-76-2 ATS off a point spread win, including 0-7 ATS in non-conference games off a SU win as an underdog/PK.  Additionally, the Wildcats fall into negative 11-66, 89-178 and 53-139 ATS systems of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 Baylor v. BYU -3.5 Top 20-26 Win 100 87 h 19 m Show

At 10:15 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the BYU Cougars minus the points over Baylor.  Last year, the Bears got the better of the Cougars, 38-24.  But that game was in Waco; this game is in Provo.  Baylor has covered just 1 of 8 non-conference games when playing a revenge-minded foe, if Baylor wasn't favored by 20+ points.  And BYU is a solid 33-21-1 ATS when playing with revenge, and not favored by 7+ points.  Take the Cougars.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 Georgia Southern v. Nebraska -23 Top 45-42 Loss -115 85 h 31 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers minus the points over Georgia Southern.  The 'Huskers won last week (but didn't cover), and are now 1-1 SU, and 0-2 ATS.  We'll lay the points with Scott Frost's men, as Nebraska has gone 34-1 SU and 28-7 ATS if it didn't cover the point spread in either of its two previous games, and was priced between -9 and -31 points.  Take the Cornhuskers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 Old Dominion v. East Carolina -12.5 Top 21-39 Win 100 83 h 1 m Show

At 6 pm, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates minus the points over Old Dominion.  The Monarchs won a big game last week when they upset Virginia Tech, 20-17, at home.  But off that emotional win over an in-state rival, we'll fade ODU on Saturday evening.  Indeed, underdogs have covered just 40% over the last 42 years off an upset home win to open their season.  Lay the points with the Pirates.

09-10-22 Tennessee v. Pittsburgh +7 Top 34-27 Push 0 81 h 47 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Panthers + the points over Tennessee.  This is a rematch of a game played in Knoxville last September.  Pitt was a 3.5-point road favorite in that game, and won, 41-34.  And that game was representative of Tennessee's problems over the last five seasons.  It just hasn't stepped up vs. winning teams.  Indeed, the Vols are 8-23 SU and 11-20 ATS vs. winning foes, including 3-11 SU/ATS their last 14.  Certainly, the Vols hope to turn things around this season.  They won their opener last Thursday, 59-10, over Ball State.  And they've now been installed as a road favorite against last year's ACC Champ, Pittsburgh, which won, 38-31, vs. rival West Virginia.  Still, we'll go against the Volunteers, as they're an awful 20-36-2 ATS off a home win, including 0-7 ATS since 2020.  And if they won their previous game by 27+ points, then they've gone 3-18 ATS, including 0-9 ATS with revenge.  Grab the points with Pittsburgh.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 North Carolina v. Georgia State +7.5 Top 35-28 Win 100 77 h 5 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers + the points over North Carolina.  Georgia State lost at South Carolina last week, 35-14, while North Carolina upset Appalachian St, 63-61.  The Panthers return home this week, and will seek to avenge a road loss at North Carolina last September.  The Tar Heels were favored by 25.5 last season, and defeated Georgia St, 59-17.  We'll take the Panthers + the points, as home underdogs have covered 61% of their home openers vs. non-conference foes since 1980, when playing with revenge from a 24-point (or worse) defeat.  Even better, the Tar Heels are an awful 11-30-1 ATS off a road win in which they scored more than 30 points.  And they're 1-9 ATS their last 10 off a point spread win.  Take Georgia State + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-10-22 Duke +10 v. Northwestern Top 31-23 Win 100 77 h 2 m Show

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Duke Blue Devils + the points over Northwestern.  Duke shut out Temple, 30-0, last week to kick off its 2022 season.  And it now will travel to Evanston to play Northwestern.  The Wildcats also are 1-0, as they upset the Nebraska Cornhuskers, in Dublin, Ireland, to open their season.  They'll try to follow that up with a home win against the Blue Devils, who have won each of the last three meetings between these teams.  Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they're a woeful 27-46-2 ATS as a home favorite, including 0-9 ATS when priced from -8 to -12.  And Duke is 34-20-1 ATS as an underdog vs. a revenge-minded foe.  Take Duke.

09-10-22 Southern Miss v. Miami-FL -25.5 Top 7-30 Loss -115 10 h 54 m Show

At 12 pm, our selection is on the Miami-Fla Hurricanes minus the points over Southern Miss.  The 'Canes had a cupcake game to kick off 2022, as they blew out Bethune-Cookman here last Saturday, 70-13.  Southern Miss lost by 2 points to Liberty, but covered the point spread.  Off that 57-point win, we'll lay the wood with Miami today.  Over the last 42 seasons, favorites that scored more than 49 points in Week 1 are 67.1% ATS in Week 2 when playing an opponent off an ATS win that gave up more than 10 points in its previous game.  Take the Hurricanes.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Notre Dame v. Ohio State -17 Top 10-21 Loss -110 88 h 30 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Notre Dame.  The Marcus Freeman-era will start this Saturday, and it will be at a most difficult venue for visiting teams.  Ohio State is a dominant 134-32-1 straight-up, and 94-64-4 ATS at home when not favored by 22+ points.  Even better:  dating back to 1979, Ohio State has won 34 straight season openers, if it was playing at home, and has gone 21-11 ATS in those games.  Meanwhile, the Fighting Irish are a wallet-breaking 15-26-1 ATS in their first road game of the season, including 0-3 SU/ATS as double-digit underdogs.  And they've covered just 21 of 52 road games vs. Big 10 Conference foes.  Lay the points with Ohio State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Utah State +42.5 v. Alabama Top 0-55 Loss -110 87 h 27 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Utah State Aggies + the points over Alabama.  The Aggies won their season opener last week, at home, vs. UConn, 31-20, and outgained the Huskies by 178 yards.  Here, they've been installed as a 6-touchdown underdog vs. the #1-ranked Crimson Tide, and we'll happily grab the points.  Alabama has burned money over the past 42 years in its home openers, including 3-9 ATS when priced as a 28-point (or greater) favorite.  Utah State, on the other hand, is 10-5 ATS its last 15 road openers.  And it's a profitable 33-15 ATS when getting more than 3 points away from home (including 15-5 ATS when getting more than 20).  Take the Aggies.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Memphis v. Mississippi State -16.5 Top 23-49 Win 100 38 h 15 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs minus the points over Memphis.  These two teams met last season at Memphis, and the Tigers upset Miss State, 31-29.  We had a big play on Memphis in that game, but will reverse course, and take the revenge-minded Bulldogs on Saturday night.  Over the previous 33 years, Mississippi State has cashed 64.2% as a revenge-minded favorite, including 82% in non-conference games!  That bodes well for Miss State on Saturday.  As does the fact that Memphis is 0-8 ATS its last 8 when playing on the road against a revenge-minded foe.  Lay the points with the Bulldogs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 SMU v. North Texas +10 Top 48-10 Loss -110 30 h 50 m Show

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the N. Texas Mean Green + the points over SMU.  The Mean Green play with revenge from three blowout losses to the Mustangs (35-12, 65-35, 49-27) the past three seasons.  Here, the Mean Green will play with a game under its belt (while SMU will be taking the field for the first time this season).  And the Mean Green were impressive in their first game, as they earned a blowout win at UTEP.  North Texas is 17-6 ATS at home off a road win.  Additionally, the Mean Green fall into a 131-74 ATS revenge system of mine, as well as a 34-14 ATS 'momentum' angle, based on their 18-point blowout win last week.  Grab the points with North Texas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Arizona +6.5 v. San Diego State Top 38-20 Win 100 83 h 29 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Wildcats + the points over the San Diego State Aztecs.  Last season, San Diego State went into Tucson, and pummeled Arizona, 38-14.  But you know what they say about paybacks!  And Arizona falls into a terrific 95-55 ATS revenge system of mine which plays on certain teams in a revenge situation.  The Aztecs, meanwhile, have covered just 40% since 1980 as favorites vs. revenge-minded non-conference foes.  And Arizona has cashed 71% since 1980 as underdogs when playing with revenge vs. non-conference opposition.  Take the Wildcats + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Cincinnati v. Arkansas -6 Top 24-31 Win 100 83 h 28 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Arkansas Razorbacks minus the points over Cincinnati. Luke Fickell's men have gone 22-2 SU and 14-8 ATS the past two seasons, but I expect a big drop-off this season.  The Bearcats lost QB Desmond Ridder, RB Jerome Ford and WR Alec Pierce, among others, on offense.  And they also lost six defensive starters from a unit which finished #5 in scoring defense.  Cincinnati may get better as the season progresses, but it's too much to ask of this team to go into Fayetteville, and win a season opener.  The Razorbacks are a solid 34-5-1 straight-up in their last 40 home openers, and have covered the spread 60% of the time, including 12-3 ATS when priced from +3 to -20.5 points.  Cincinnati, meanwhile, is a soft 14-28 SU and 16-22 ATS in its road openers, including 5-22 SU and 11-16 ATS when priced as an underdog.  Lay the points with Arkansas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

09-03-22 Houston v. UTSA +4 Top 37-35 Win 100 13 h 5 m Show

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners + the points over Houston.  Each of these teams come into 2022 off great seasons last year.  Houston capped off a 12-2 campaign with a 17-13 victory over Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl, while UTSA also went 12-2, but lost in the Frisco Bowl to San Diego St., 38-24.  The Roadrunners have been dominant here in the Alamo City, as they've won 10 straight home games, and have gone 7-3 ATS in this stretch.  Texas-San Antonio has also covered 67% as home dogs of +10 or less points, while Houston has covered just 13 of 37 as a road favorite of 10 or less points.  Finally, in match-ups between two teams that won 80% (or more) of their games the previous season, teams installed as home dogs in their home openers have covered the spread 69% since 1980.  Grab the points with Texas-San Antonio.

08-27-22 North Texas v. UTEP +1 Top 31-13 Loss -110 185 h 43 m Show

At 9 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Texas El Paso Miners over the North Texas Mean Green.  Last season, UTEP had a winning campaign (7-6) for the first time since 2014, and earned a New Mexico Bowl bid.  The Miners did lose that bowl game, 31-24, to Fresno State (its 7th straight bowl defeat), but its season was still a success.  This season, the Miners return 15 players for 5th year-head coach, Dana Dimel, who was 5-27 in his first three seasons in El Paso.  The Miners fell to the Mean Green, 20-17, last season on a late field goal.  And that was UTEP's 5th straight defeat in this series.  We'll take UTEP to avenge that defeat as it falls into a 67-36 ATS revenge system of mine.  Additionally, revenge-minded Conference USA teams have gone 175-137 ATS at home vs. conference foes, if our revenger wasn't favored by more than 3 points.  And North Texas is a wallet-busting 4-15 ATS its last 19 road games vs. revenge-minded opponents.  Finally, the Miners are 8-2 ATS in their home openers when installed as a PK/Underdog, while North Texas is a poor 3-15 SU and 6-12 ATS vs. an opponent playing its home opener.  Take Texas El Paso.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

02-13-22 Rams v. Bengals +5 Top 23-20 Win 100 315 h 24 m Show

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals + the points over the Los Angeles Rams.  The Bengals continue to step up against the league's best teams.  They're now 9-1 SU/ATS vs. winning opponents!  And that includes impressive upset wins over the Chiefs (twice), Titans and Ravens (with Lamar Jackson).  In contrast, the Rams are 4-6 ATS this season vs. winning opponents, including a horrid 1-6 ATS as a favorite!  And they're 6-12 ATS when laying more than 3 points, and 11-26 ATS off back to back wins under Sean McVay (including 5-19 ATS when the line was 7 or less points).  It's true that the Rams will be playing this game at their home stadium, but home teams are a soft 17-25 in the Playoffs since 2018 when favored by 3+ points.  Take the points with the Bengals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

02-13-22 Rams v. Bengals OVER 48.5 Top 23-20 Loss -104 315 h 23 m Show

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams OVER the total.  The Rams held Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers in check in the NFC Conference Championship game, which finished 20-17, and went under the total of 45.5 points by 8.5 points.  But the Rams have tended to go OVER the total when facing the better NFL teams, as they're 10-4 OVER when playing an opponent which averages more than 26.75 ppg, and 7-1 OVER when playing an opponent with a .650 (or better) win percentage.  Additionally, the Rams are now 5-0 OVER following an under in their previous game.  Even better:  NFL teams have gone OVER 67-42 in the Playoffs following a game it went under by more than 8 points, if such Playoff game had a line greater than 42 points.  Take the OVER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

01-30-22 49ers v. Rams OVER 45.5 Top 17-20 Loss -108 33 h 1 m Show

At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers over the total.  These two teams met earlier this month, and the Niners upset the Rams here, in Los Angeles, to punch their ticket to the Playoffs.  That regular season game went OVER the total.  And we'll look for a similar result on Sunday, as the NFC Championship games have been extremely high scoring, for the most part, with the OVER cashing 21-7-2 since 1992, including 10-0 OVER if the line ranged from 45 to 54 points.  Even better, in the Playoffs, when the home favorite was playing with revenge from an upset loss earlier in the season, those games have gone OVER 24-11.  Take the OVER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

01-30-22 Bengals v. Chiefs OVER 54 Top 27-24 Loss -110 29 h 23 m Show

At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs OVER the total.  These two teams met just four weeks ago, and they played a high-scoring game, won by the Bengals, 34-31.  That game sailed over the total of 51 by 14 points.  We'll look for another high-scoring game on Sunday at Arrowhead, as playoff rematches of games that went over, also tend to go over the total, and especially if the O/U line is 50+ points, as those games have gone over 65% since 1990.  Kansas City has now played its last 7 games OVER the total, and is also 6-0 OVER with Patrick Mahomes at QB and playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season.  Take the Over.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

01-23-22 Bills +2.5 v. Chiefs Top 36-42 Loss -110 74 h 2 m Show

At 6:30 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Buffalo Bills + the points over Kansas City.  This is the 2nd match-up this season here, at Arrowhead Stadium, between these two teams, and the Bills won Round 1 by 18 points, 38-20.  My numbers rate the Bills as the AFC's best team, so we will happily take Buffalo as an underdog in this match-up with the back-to-back AFC Conference champion Chiefs.  Indeed, the Bills fall into 81-19, 123-58 and 93-52 ATS systems of mine based on their statistical profile, and also 28-9 and 37-19 ATS Playoff systems, based on this particular game's situation.  It's true that the Chiefs do enter this game on an impressive run, which has seen them win 10 of 11 straight-up, and cover seven of their last nine.  But the Bills are 20-5-2 ATS on the road vs. foes with a .500 SU/ATS record, including a perfect 5-0 ATS when the point spread was less than 3 points.  Admittedly, Kansas City does have one of the best NFL head coaches in Andy Reid.  But all of Reid's point spread profit (135-94 ATS) has been on the road and/or as an underdog.  When installed as a home favorite, Reid's team have gone just 82-83-4 ATS, including 2-14 ATS when priced as a revenge-minded home favorite of less than 4 points.  Last week's game vs. New England -- where Buffalo scored touchdowns on its first seven possessions (against a Patriots defense which was allowing just 17.82 ppg) -- put the league on notice about just how good this Bills team can be.  And this might be the last time in quite a while that we see Josh Allen & Co. priced as an underdog.  Take Buffalo + the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

01-23-22 Rams v. Bucs -3 Top 30-27 Loss -100 71 h 33 m Show

At 3 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers minus the points over the Los Angeles Rams.  We played on the Bucs here, at home, to end the regular season.  Tampa was a big home favorite vs. Carolina in that game, and in my analysis, I pointed out how the Buccaneers had played much worse on the road this season than at home.  And that's generally to be expected with defending Super Bowl champions, as they tend to mightily struggle on the road.  And these home/road splits carry forward into the Playoffs for defending Super Bowl champs, as they've gone 16-12-1 ATS at home, but just 7-9 ATS on the road.  The good news for the Bucs is this Playoff game is at home.  And Tampa's gone 7-2 ATS at home this season, and has covered the spread in those nine home games by a super 6.11 ppg.  In contrast, the Bucs were 3-6 ATS away from home (including a 34-24 upset loss to these Rams), and failed to cover the spread by -4.33 ppg (for a +10.44 relative home/road point spread differential).  Meanwhile, the Rams also performed better at home this season than on the road, and they failed to cover the spread away from home by -0.33 ppg.  None of this bodes well for Los Angeles in this road game.  And nor does the fact that Tom Brady's teams have gone 17-8 ATS in his career when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season, including 9-1 ATS if they lost that earlier game by 10+ points.  Take Tampa Bay.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

01-22-22 49ers v. Packers -5.5 Top 13-10 Loss -105 52 h 49 m Show

At 8:15 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Green Bay Packers minus the points over the San Francisco 49ers.  With Aaron Rodgers as its starting quarterback, Green Bay has gone 131-90-5 ATS.  And while those numbers are certainly impressive, they get even better when one looks at how the Packers have done with Rodgers vs. WINNING opponents, when Green Bay was priced from -4 to -8 points.  In this situation, in Rodgers' career, he's led Green Bay to a 20-1 SU record, and 17-3-1 ATS!  The one straight-up loss was against Dak Prescott's Cowboys, on October 16, 2016.  And since that game, Green Bay's gone 10-0 SU/ATS when priced from -4 to -8 vs. winning opposition.  The Packers did lose their last regular season game, at Detroit, as a 3-point road favorite.  But Green Bay is a powerful 8-0 SU/ATS their last eight off an upset loss; and 35-14 ATS their last 49 off an upset road loss; and a perfect 4-0 ATS in the Playoffs off an upset loss.  Lay the points with the Packers.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
