Big Al McMordie Sports Betting Picks

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Denver.  The Nuggets blew out Golden State on Friday night, 129-104.  We'll fade the unrested Nuggets, as Denver is a soft 62-111 ATS at home when playing without rest.  And Indiana is a super 97-57 ATS off a home loss, if it was rested, and playing a foe off a SU/ATS win.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over San Antonio.  The Spurs defeated New Orleans on the road earlier this season.  Unfortunately, the Spurs are a terrible 10-37 ATS at home vs. a revenge-minded foe, if the Spurs were off a SU win.  With San Antone, indeed, off a win last night vs. the Rockets, we'll fade Mitch Johnson's men tonight.  Take New Orleans.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls plus the points over Cleveland.  The Bulls were blown out by Milwaukee, 126-110, last night, while Cleveland routed Washington, 148-114.  We'll take Chicago tonight, as winning teams have cashed 63% the past 10 seasons as road underdogs, if they were off a double-digit loss, and playing an unrested foe off a SU win.  Take Chicago.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over the Toronto Raptors.  The Sixers have an advantage tonight in terms of "rest," as Philly has not played since Wednesday, while the Raptors played last night.  The 76ers are 73-48 ATS when well-rested, with at least the previous two days off, if they were off back to back losses, and their foe was off a SU win.  Lay the points.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Saskatchewan Roughriders minus the points over British Columbia.  When the Roughriders last took the field, it was against this British Columbia squad in the regular season's final week.  The Lions won that game, 27-21, as a 7.5-point road favorite.  Still, the Roughriders covered the point spread, and they're now 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings with the Lions.  And they're 15-4-1 ATS over the last 20.  We'll take Saskatchewan as a home favorite, as rested home teams have gone 19-7-1 ATS in the CFL playoffs when priced from -3 to -7 points vs. an unrested foe, including 8-0 ATS their last eight.  Lay the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Vegas Golden Knights over the Anaheim Ducks.  About a month into the NHL season and most things are up for grabs of course.  But one thing that most people would agree on is that the most surprising team is the Anaheim Ducks.  To be fair, the perennial doormat of the League did have a huge improvement last season, going from 59 points to 80, but the Ducks still missed the playoffs for the seventh year in a row.  But now they are on a roll with a 9-3-1 record and an almost unheard of (for them) five-game win streak coming into tonight's game in Vegas.  The Knights are still one of the best team's in the League and it would be no surprise if they make a deep playoff run once again.   With star Center Jack Eichel inked to a new contract and Mitch Marner coming over in the off-season, Vegas is once again one of the League's Stanley Cup favorites.  The Knights swept this series last season, winning all four games against the Ducks by a combined score of 13-4 and they are 15-3 at home all time against them.  Take Vegas.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the UNLV Rebels minus the points over Chattanooga.  UNLV suffered an 86-81 loss at home to Tennessee-Martin on Tuesday.  We'll lay the points tonight, as the Rebels are 34-23 ATS as a home favorite off an upset loss.  Take UNLV.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Boise St. Broncos minus the points over Utah Valley.  The Broncos come into this game off a narrow, 1-point loss to Hawaii-Pacific.  We'll take Boise to bounce back, as it is 57-32 ATS in non-conference games off a SU loss.  Lay the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Houston Cougars minus the points over Towson.  The Cougars come into this game off a 75-57 win vs. Lehigh, as a 36.5-point home favorite.  Houston is a solid 54-25 ATS off a point spread defeat, if its opponent was off a SU win.  We'll lay the points with the Cougars this afternoon.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs minus the points over Oklahoma.  The Sooners routed the St. Francis Red Flash on Monday, 102-66.  They're on the road in Spokane tonight, and will take on the 21st-ranked Bulldogs.  We'll lay the points with the home team, as Gonzaga is 28-11 ATS at home vs. foes off a win by more than 8 points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Georgia State Panthers + the points over Coastal Carolina.  The Chanticleers upset Marshall last week, 44-27, as a 7-point home dog.  We'll fade Coastal Carolina as a home favorite, as Georgia St. is 21-7-2 ATS on the road vs. a foe off an ATS win.  And Coastal Carolina is 0-8-2 ATS as a home favorite of less than 25 points vs. a foe off a SU loss.  Take Georgia St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the New Mexico State Aggies + the points over Kennesaw St.  The Owls have won six straight, and are on a 5-game ATS wins streak, while the Aggies are on a 3-game losing streak, and have lost their last 2 ATS.  The knee jerk reaction might be to play on the red-hot Owls.  But consider that teams on 5-game (or better) SU/ATS win streaks are a long-term money-burner vs. foes off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, covering just 41%.  We'll grab the points with New Mexico St.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers + the points over Vanderbilt.  The Tigers were upset as an 11.5-point favorite last week by Kentucky.  The good news for Auburn is that it is 16-8 ATS away from home in SEC Conference games off an upset loss.  Auburn also falls into 185-86 and 212-112 ATS systems of mine that play on certain teams to bounce back from bad games.  Grab the points with the Tigers.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Georgia Bulldogs minus the points over Mississippi State.  Georgia is favored north of a touchdown on Saturday vs. Miss State.  We'll lay the points, as Georgia is 41-1 SU and 31-11 ATS when priced from -7 to -20 points.  Lay it.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Colorado Buffaloes + the points over West Virginia.  We played on the Mountaineers last week, and got the $$$ when they upset Houston, 45-35.  We'll fade WVU on Saturday, as it's 12-18-1 ATS off an upset conference win.  Take Colorado.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the UNDER in the James Madison/Marshall game.  These two teams both come into this game off high-scoring affairs.  The Dukes defeated Texas St, 52-20, while Marshall lost to Coastal Carolina, 44-27.  We'll look for the offenses to take a holiday on this Saturday, as NCAA conference games have gone 55% UNDER if each team's previous game went for 70+ points.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Clemson Tigers minus the points over Florida St.  The Tigers have lost their last two games -- both SU and ATS.  We'll take Clemson to rebound on Saturday night, as Florida St. is a poor 6-18 ATS off a SU win, if matched-up against a conference foe off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take Clemson minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Iowa State Cyclones + the points over TCU.  The Cyclones dropped their fourth straight game last week, as they lost at home to Arizona State, 24-19.  That setback has set up Iowa State in a very good 'bounce-back' system of mine which is 173-78 ATS.  We'll grab the points with Iowa State, and fade the Horned Frogs, who have covered just seven of 20 vs. foes off upset defeats.   Take the Cyclones.

At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the Liberty Flames minus the points over Missouri St.  Liberty blew out Delaware, 59-30, for its 3rd straight win last weekend.  And that big win has triggered a very good 'momentum' system of mine which is 397-285 ATS since 1980.  Liberty is 10-6 ATS at home off back to back wins.  We'll lay the points with the Flames.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Bowling Green Falcons + the points over Eastern Michigan.  The Falcons are on an 0-3 SU/ATS losing streak following their 28-3 upset loss last week, at home, vs. Buffalo.  We'll take BGSU to bounce back, as it is 18-8 ATS as an underdog off back-to-back SU/ATS losses.  And it's 16-7 ATS on the road off an upset loss.  Grab the points.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the UNDER in the Penn State/Indiana game.  The Hoosiers come into this game off back to back high-scoring wins over UCLA (56-6) and Maryland (55-10).  The Hoosiers have now gone Over the total in four straight games.  We'll side with the UNDER today, as teams off exactly 4 Overs have proceeded to go UNDER 55.3%.  Take the Nittany Lions and Hoosiers UNDER.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Texas State Bobcats minus the points over Louisiana-Lafayette.  The Rajin' Cajuns have been wallet-busters at home, when priced from -5.5 to +5.5 points.  In that point spread range, the Cajuns are 19-34-2 ATS.  Even worse:  Texas State had last week off to rest and prepare for this revenge game (the Bobcats were upset at home by the Cajuns last season).  For technical support, consider that rested, revenge-minded road favorites have gone 17-5-1 ATS their last 23 vs. unrested foes.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish minus the points over Navy.  The Irish are on a 2-game ATS losing streak.  But that's a positive indicator for them in this game, as the Irish are 7-0 ATS their last seven following back-to-back ATS defeats.  Meanwhile, Navy is an ugly 1-6 ATS this season in its FBS games, including 0-5 ATS its last five.  Lay the points with Notre Dame.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Missouri Tigers + the points over Texas A&M.  The Tigers come into this Saturday afternoon game off a loss two weeks ago to Vanderbilt.  We'll take Mizzou to bounce back, as it's 29-10 ATS at home off a SU loss, if matched-up against a .500 (or better) foe off a SU win.  And Texas A/M is a terrible 6-22 ATS on the road vs. rested foes.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders minus the points over BYU.  The Red Raiders have a strong home field, and have gone 41-8 SU and 36-11-2 ATS in Lubbock when priced from -3 to -12.  Even better:  the Red Raiders have the nation's 6th best scoring defense, allowing just 13.2 ppg.  Look for the Red Raiders to crush the Cougars.  Lay the points with Texas Tech.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
