At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Sharks over the New Jersey Devils. The NHL trade deadline has come and gone and in some cases, it was hard to tell exactly what teams were up to. Not so with the Devils. New Jersey clearly signaled that it is playing for the future, executing deadline deals in which five solid players left the Garden State in exchange for future draft pick considerations (along with some very minor players in return). The immediate result is that things could be even uglier the rest of this season for the 25-37 Devils (although the future beyond 2020 may indeed be bright). So, it's somewhat ironic that New Jersey comes into San Jose tonight on the heels of a three-game winning streak which includes a 3-2 victory over the Capitals. In contrast, the Sharks have lost five in a row, with the last four coming on the road (including a loss last Thursday at New Jersey). No doubt they're glad to be home where the Sharks are basically a .500 team this season (14-15-1). And this has been a very host-friendly series lately, with the home team having won each of the last four meetings going back to March of 2018. The Sharks are also 5-2 in the last seven meetings while the favorite is 6-1 in the last seven. Finally, the Devils are 5-12 (minus 8 games on the money line) in their last 17 if they were on a 3-game (or better) win streak. Take the Sharks. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Boston Bruins over the Dallas Stars. There are plenty of teams who made dramatic changes at the NHL trade deadline (the Penguins, Maple Leafs, and Oilers, to name three). And then there are the Dallas Stars. Taking a very obvious "stand pat" approach, the Stars did virtually nothing to their roster by the time Monday's deadline had come and gone. While it's true Dallas looks like a safe pick to get a playoff spot, the Stars are also in a dogfight with some pretty good teams in the West. Tonight, they'll visit the Bruins, who also didn't do much at the deadline. But unlike the Stars, the Bruins have a fairly comfortable points lead in the Eastern conference, despite having lost two in a row coming into tonight's game. On Tuesday, the Bruins lost at home in regulation for just the third time this season and they will look to rebound against a Stars team that they've dominated recently. In the last eight meetings of these two going back to February of 2016, Boston is 6-2 vs. Dallas. The Bruins are also 58-35 in non-conference games, and 19-11 in their last 30 after allowing three goals or more in three consecutive games. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Grand Canyon Antelopes + the points over New Mexico State. The Aggies have ripped off 13 straight WAC Conference wins to start the season. But they fall into a negative 13% system of mine which goes against certain teams that are undefeated in Conference play. Don't be surprised if the Antelopes hand New Mexico State its first WAC loss tonight, as the Aggies are a poor 18-31 ATS away from home off 3+ home games. Meanwhile, the Antelopes have cashed 67% off a road loss if they're matched up against a foe off a win. Take the home underdog Antelopes. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers minus the points over Cleveland St. The Panthers lost to the Vikings by 17 points last month. And they also were upset by Detroit, 79-73, in their last game. Those two factors set up our play on the Panthers tonight, as Milwaukee's an awesome 23-2 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season, provided they didn't cover the spread in their previous game, and had a win percentage of .363 (or better). Take the Panthers minus the points. |

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers minus the points over Indiana. These two Hoosier State rivals met earlier this season in Bloomington, and the Boilers upset the Hoosiers, 74-62, as a 3-point road underdog. Unfortunately, Matt Painter's men have not won since, as they've lost their last four games, including a 71-63 upset loss here in West Lafayette, on Saturday. We'll lay the points with Purdue, as it's 29-18 ATS as a favorite off an upset Big 10 Conference loss, including 12-2 vs. foes off back to back wins. Take Purdue. |

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Southern Utah Thunderbirds minus the points over Eastern Washington. Southern Utah has dropped its last four games, but all four were on the road, where the Thunderbirds have gone 6-9 this season. At home, it's been a different story, as Southern Utah's 8-4 here, in Cedar City. These two teams met earlier this season in Cheney, Washington, and the Eagles won, 81-78, at home. But we'll lay the points with Southern Utah tonight, as revenge-minded favorites with a winning record, off back to back losses, have gone 263-188 ATS if they lost the season's previous meeting on the road. Even better: the Eagles come into this game off an 80-70 win over Northern Arizona. Unfortunately, they're a poor 9-24 ATS off a win by 7+ points, including 3-15 ATS away from home. Take Southern Utah minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Towson Tigers + the points over Hofstra. The Pride are on an 8-game SU/ATS win streak. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that. But Towson's also playing very good basketball, as it's 11-3 its last 14 games, straight-up, and 10-3 ATS (with one non-lined game). The Tigers are a super 30-12 ATS their last 42 conference games as an underdog of more than 4 points away from home, off a conference win. And it's also 28-10 ATS away from home as a conference underdog of +16 or less points, if it lost the season's previous meeting. Meanwhile, for those worried about Hofstra's red-hot play, consider that College teams on 8-game SU/ATS win streaks are a soft 23-38 ATS. Finally, the Tigers fall into 106-43, 27-2, and 167-82 ATS systems of mine. Take Towson. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.
