Sports Handicapper Big Al McMordie's Picks & Predictions

At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Marquette Golden Eagles + the points over Villanova.  This series has been one-sided of late, as Marquette is 8-1 SU/ATS in the last nine meetings.  The Golden Eagles also fall into a 574-390-20 ATS system of mine.  Take Marquette as a home dog.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Texas State Bobcats + the points over Arkansas St.  These two teams met less than a month ago, and the Red Wolves won, 89-70.  We'll take the revenge-minded Bobcats this afternoon, as they're 28-16 ATS when playing with same-season revenge, while the Red Wolves are 3-9 ATS vs. conference foes with revenge from a 14-point (or worse) defeat.  Take Texas State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the SMU Mustangs + the points over Duke.  The Mustangs cracked the Top 25 off their win over North Carolina.  But they then lost at Clemson on Wednesday.  We'll take SMU to bounce back this afternoon in Durham, as it is 55-36-1 ATS when getting 12+ points, while Duke is 0-7 ATS its last seven when laying more than 9 points.  Take SMU.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers over Appalachian St.  The Mountaineers defeated the Chanticleers by 18 points last month, 67-49.  We'll take the revenge-minded Chanticleers this afternoon, as they fall into a 144-68 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams that have lost their 3 previous games.  Take Coastal Carolina.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Louisville Cardinals minus the points over Boston College.  The Cards were upset by Duke in their previous game.  And that marked their 2nd straight defeat.  We'll lay the points, as Louisville's cashed 65% as double-digit favorites off back to back losses.  Take the Cardinals.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Utes + the points over BYU.  This heated rivalry has been good to double-digit dogs, as they've gone 11-5 ATS.  Utah has also covered the last three meetings, and the Utes fall into 103-36 ATS system.  Take the Utes.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Boise St. Broncos + the points over Utah St.  The Broncos were upset at home, 75-58, by Grand Canyon on Wednesday.  Off that 17-point upset loss, we'll back Boise tonight, as it's 64-45-1 ATS off an upset loss, including 28-15-1 ATS as an underdog.  Take Boise.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers minus the points over Arkansas.  The Tigers were upset at home on Tuesday, 90-88, by Texas A&M.  We'll lay the small number with Auburn this evening, as it's 29-19-3 ATS in the regular season off a home upset loss.  Take Auburn.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento St. Hornets + the points over Portland St.  The Hornets come into this game off 3 SU/ATS losses.  But they've cashed 71% ATS as road underdogs off 3 SU/ATS losses, while the Vikings are a poor 25% vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Sacramento St. also falls into 120-61 and 980-759 ATS systems of mine.  Take Sacramento St.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Houston Christian Huskies + the points over Stephen F. Austin.  The Huskies look to snap a losing streak this afternoon.  We'll grab the points, as Houston Christian is 40-28-2 ATS off back to back losses, while the Lumberjacks have covered just 14 of 35 vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take the Huskies + the points.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the TCU Horned Frogs + the points over Arizona.  TCU is a perfect 4-0 ATS this season as an underdog.  And it's 8-2 ATS its last 10 as a home underdog.  Take the Horned Frogs.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Jacksonville Dolphins minus the points over West Georgia.  The Dolphins have been installed as a small favorite this afternoon.  That bodes well for Jacksonville, as it's 33-20 ATS as a single-digit favorite.  Lay the points.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers + the points over George Washington.  The Ramblers come into this afternoon's game off back to back losses at home to Dayon and Davidson.  We'll take the Ramblers this afternoon at GW, as Loyola-Chicago is 26-13 ATS as a double-digit road underdog vs. conference foes, if the Rambers were off a SU loss.  Take Loyola-Chicago.

At 3 pm, our selection is on the South Florida Bulls + the points over Tulsa.  The Golden Hurricane had their 10-game win streak snapped last Sunday by North Texas.  We played on the Mean Green in that game, and will fade Tulsa again this afternoon, as it falls into a negative 429-645 ATS system of mine.  Take South Florida.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Rhode Island Rams + the points over Davidson.  The Wildcats come into this game off back to back wins, while the Rams enter off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Unfortunately for Davidson, it's cashed just 27% since 1990 off a win, when playing a foe off 3 SU/ATS losses.  Take Rhode Island.

At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the LSU Tigers + the points over Vanderbilt.  The Commodores have started the season 15-0.  But undefeated teams with a 15-0 (or better) record, have gone just 34-51-3 vs. foes off back to back losses.  Take LSU + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears + the points over Houston.  Baylor comes into this contest off back to back SU/ATS losses.  The good news for the Bears is that they are 104-69-9 ATS off back to back losses, including 26-16-4 ATS as a home dog.  Take Baylor

At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin Badgers + the points over Michigan.  The Badgers play this game with revenge from a loss in last season's Big 10 Tourney.  We'll grab the points, as Wisky is 47-15 ATS when playing with revenge vs. an .810 (or better) foe, provided the Badgers were not on a 3-game (or better) win streak.  Take Wisconsin + the points.

At 12:30 pm, our selection is on the Connecticut Huskies minus the points over DePaul.  UConn blew out DePaul, 72-54, in December.  And that was the 21st straight win by the Huskies over the Blue Demons.  UConn is also 15-3 ATS in the last 18 meetings.  Lay the points.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Indiana Hoosiers minus the points over Nebraska.  Assembly Hall is one of the toughest venues for visitors.  Since 1990, Indiana is 465-116 SU and 287-229-6 ATS at home.  And if Indiana's foe comes in off 3 straight wins, then the Hoosiers are 70-45 ATS.  Lay the points.

At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets minus the points over the Utah Jazz.  The Hornets have been installed as a road favorite tonight, and they're a stellar 21-12 ATS as a road favorite, including 10-2 ATS vs. Western Conference foes.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat minus the points over Indiana.  The Heat lost at Minnesota, 122-94, on Tuesday.  We'll take Miami to bounce back as it's 86-46 ATS on the road off a SU/ATS road loss.  Lay the points.

At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers minus the points over Minnesota.  This is the 2nd of back-to-back meetings between these clubs.  Minnesota took Round 1, 131-122, at home.  But it's a road underdog this afternoon, and the Timberwolves are a terrible 2-8-1 ATS as an underdog in the 2nd of back-to-back regular season meetings, if they won the first game.  Take Cleveland.

At 4:30 pm our selection is on the Carolina Panthers + the points over the Los Angeles Rams.  The Panthers have been installed as a double-digit home underdog, and it's been very profitable to back double-digit home dogs in the NFL.  Indeed, they're 135-103 ATS since 1980, including a perfect 2-0 ATS in the Playoffs (in 2011, Seattle won outright, 41-36, over New Orleans; in 2021, the Commanders lost by just 8 vs. Tampa).  Take the Panthers + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
