Big Al McMordie

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Marshall Thundering Herd minus the points over Middle Tennessee St.  The Herd has dropped nine straight games -- both SU and ATS -- while Middle Tennessee is on a 3-game win streak, and has covered three of its last four.  These two diverging near-term results might have you react by favoring the underdog Blue Raiders.  But be careful, as Marshall falls into several of my best contrarian systems with records of 169-85, 45-20, 100-39 and 60-21 ATS since 1990.  Moreover, the Blue Raiders are a poor 7-20 ATS off back to back double-digit home wins.  Take Marshall.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers + the points over LA Lafayette.  The Panthers have dropped their last five games, including back to back home upset losses to Appalachian St and Coastal Carolna last week.  We'll grab the points with Rob Lanier's men, as they fall into a 67% ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Even better:  the Panthers are 7-0-2 ATS off 5+ losses.  Take Georgia State + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Pacific Tigers + the points over Portland.  The Pilots have dropped their last two games, and have been installed as a home favorite tonight vs. Pacific.  We'll grab the points with the Tigers, as Portland is a horrid 46-71 ATS at home off back to back losses, and 1-9 ATS its last 10 off back to back Conference defeats.  Pacific has also won 9 straight in this series (7-2 ATS).  Take the underdog Tigers tonight.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Northeastern Huskies + the points over NC Wilmington.  These two teams met just three days ago at Northeastern, and the Seahawks upset the Huskies, 74-68, as a 2.5-point road underdog.  And that was NC Wilmington's 4th straight upset win!  We'll take the Huskies in this revenge match, as Wilmington falls into a negative 25% ATS system of mine based on the fact that it's won four straight games outright as an underdog.  And, even better, the Seahawks are 0-12 ATS at home when on a 4-game (or greater) ATS win streak.  Take Northeastern.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Idaho State Bengals + the points over Sacramento State.  I'm not a fan of laying a lot of points with bad teams in bad form, yet that's what the oddsmakers would have you do with the Hornets tonight.  Sacramento State is 5-10 this season, and has lost four straight (both SU/ATS), yet is favored by a healthy amount against Idaho State.  But teams on 3-game (or worse) SU/ATS losing streaks, with .333 (or worse) records have been awful bets when favored by 6 (or more) points at Game 16 forward.  Take Idaho State + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Dakota Fighting Hawks + the points over South Dakota State.  The Jackrabbits enter this game with a 17-4 record, and have won 8 straight after blowing out Western Illinois, 93-75, on Saturday.  Summit Conference teams have covered just 30% when laying more than 14 points, while the Jackrabbits are 1-6 ATS in this point spread role.  Take North Dakota.

At 8 pm, our selection is on Omaha + the points over Oral Roberts.  The Golden Eagles blew out the Mavs, 107-62, when the two teams met at ORU on New Year's Day.  We'll take the home dog tonight, as it falls into a 57-27 ATS system of mine which plays on certain losing teams that lost by 40+ points earlier in the season.  Take Omaha.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Pepperdine Waves + the points over San Diego.  The Waves were upset, 72-62, at home by San Diego less than three weeks ago, as a 4-point home favorite.  We'll take the Waves to avenge that loss, as Pepperdine is 11-3 ATS when playing with revenge from a home loss earlier in the season, while San Diego has covered just 5 of 21 vs. revenge-minded foes that it beat on the road earlier in the season.  Take Pepperdine.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the St Louis Blues over Calgary.  We had a huge play on the Flames when these teams met north of the border three days ago, and were rewarded with a 7-1 Calgary blowout.  But we'll switch gears and take St. Louis in the rematch, as the Blues are 7-1 this season when playing with revenge from a loss in which it surrendered more than three goals.  And the Blues are 11-3 at home this season when the O/U line was 6+ goals, while Calgary is 25-32 (minus 8.6 games on the moneyline on the road when the O/U line was 6+ goals.  Take the Blues to avenge their 7-1 loss.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
