Sports Handicapper Big Al McMordie's Picks & Predictions

At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the Colorado Avalanche.  The Avs notched their first home shutout of the season on Monday, blanking the Golden Knights at Pepsi Center, 3-0.  But home has not been kind to the team from Denver this season as the Avs are just 11-17 here so far.  Couple that with the fact that one of the best road teams in the West is coming in tonight, and things don't get any easier for the home team.  The Jets were starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the teams in the Central Division but now they've lost two straight coming into this match-up, including a 4-1 loss to this Colorado team six days ago.  But it's a match-up that's been good to the Jets lately as they have still taken four of the last five meetings.  With a 36-19-4 record (76 points), the Jets are in a great position to win their first Division Title in over 10 years -- and first since they moved to Winnipeg from Atlanta.  That home shutout against Vegas may look good on paper, but it might not bode well for tonight as the Avs are 2-8 in their last 10 immediately following a victory.  Meanwhile, Winnipeg is 40-19 when playing with revenge.  Take the Jets.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Red Wings over Chicago.  We played on the Blackhawks in their last game, and were rewarded with an 8-7 win over Ottawa.  But we will play against Chicago on the road tonight, as it's won just 2 of 14 road games after allowing more than 3 goals.  Take the Red Wings.

At 10:05 pm, our selection is on the Vegas Golden Knights over Boston.  The Knights were shut out, 3-0, at Colorado, on Monday.  But I love them to rebound tonight, as they're 21-6 after not scoring 2+ goals in their previous game, while Boston is a relatively poor 10-17 (minus 12 games on the money line) on the road after scoring 3+ goals in back to back games.  Take Vegas.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers minus the points over Evansville.  The Ramblers come into this game off back to back SU/ATS losses.  But those two defeats have set Loyola up into two very good systems of mine, with 61-35 and 72-30 ATS records.  And Loyola also plays this game with revenge from a 19-point loss to the Aces earlier this season.  The Ramblers have cashed 69% over the past 15 years when playing with revenge, and favored by 8+ points.  Take Loyola.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the San Diego State Aztecs + the points over Nevada.  The Aztecs have been dominant at home.  They've won their last seven here, and have covered their last six.  And they're 41-9 straight-up in their last 50 home games, including a perfect 12-0 ATS when not laying 6+ points.  And they're also 7-0 straight-up and 6-1 ATS at home, or on neutral courts vs. Nevada.  Take San Diego State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 pm, our selection is on the Utah Utes + the points over Washington.  These two teams met earlier this season in Utah, and Washington defeated the Utes, 69-53.  We'll take Utah in this revenge match, as they fall into a 58-18 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams playing with revenge from a loss earlier in the season.  Even better:  Utah's 6-0 ATS on the Pac-12 road this season, and 21-9-1 ATS since 2016.  And it's an awesome 50-27-3 ATS when playing with revenge, including 20-5 ATS when getting 8+ points.  Take Utah.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Tulane Green Wave + the points over Memphis.  The Tigers have been a very poor double-digit favorite, of late, as they're 3-10 ATS their last 13 in this role.  And Memphis has covered just three of its last 12 games this season.  One of those ATS losses was against this very Tulane team, when Memphis won by just four points, 83-79, as a double-digit road favorite.  Take Tulane + the points.
