At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Guardians over the New York Yankees.  Tanner Bibee is following up a very good regular season with an even better playoffs. In two starts in the ALDS, Bibee posted a 2.08 ERA with nine strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings. That's a lower post-season ERA than his opposing starter in Game 2, 2023 Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole (3.00).  Bibee is picking up where he left off in the regular season as he posted a 2.64 ERA in five September starts.  This will be his first start of 2024 against the Yankees.  In the regular season, Bibee did by far his best work away from Cleveland as, in 15 road starts, he went 7-4 with a 2.74 ERA (vs 5-4 and 4.15 in 16 at home).  The Yankees took Game 1 here last night but a solid pitching performance from Bibee should allow the Guardians to even this series before it heads to Cleveland.  Including the two post-season games, the Guardians are 6-2 in Bibee's last eight starts.  Take Cleveland. As always, good luck…Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, on Tuesday, our selection is on the South Alabama Jaguars minus the points over Troy.  The Trojans enter this game with an 0-5 record vs. FBS opponents and a 1-4 ATS ledger.  And they've failed to cover the spread by 4.5 ppg.  I expect South Alabama to have a lot of success in the ground game, as it is averaging 7.1 ypr this season, while the Trojans are allowing 5.1 ypr in their six games.  Although both teams do enter this game off back-to-back ATS losses, the Jaguars are a solid 11-3 ATS in conference games off two ATS defeats.  Finally, the Jaguars fall into a 56-27 ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Ottawa Redblacks + the points over Montreal.  The defending champion Alouettes are 11-3-1, and have already clinched the East division title, and a bye into the semi-final round of the playoffs.  So, its last three games of the regular season are a bit meaningless.  Meanwhile, Ottawa is sitting in 3rd place in the division, and will play Toronto in the first round of the playoffs.  That much is known.  But Ottawa can still leapfrog Toronto in the standings (they play next week) and host the playoff game.  So, this afternoon's game still has great meaning for the Redblacks.  We will grab the points with Ottawa, as defending Grey Cup champs (like Montreal) are a horrible 40-74-3 ATS when favored by more than 4 points, if they weren't off a double-digit loss.  Even better:  Montreal won the season's first two meetings by scores of 47-21 and 24-12.  But double-revenge-minded road dogs have cashed 82% in the regular season if they lost season's prior two meetings by more than 10 points.  Grab the points with Ottawa this afternoon.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:20 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over the New York Giants.  Cincy lost to the Baltimore Ravens, 41-38, in overtime last week, while the Giants upset the Seahawks, 29-20.  We'll take the Bengals to bounce back in the Meadowlands, on Sunday night, as they're 16-8-1 ATS as a road favorite, including 8-2 ATS off a SU loss.  Additionally, NFL teams off a SU loss, in which they scored more than 36 points, have covered 64.6%.  Finally, over the last 45 years, the Giants have covered just 39% of home non-division games, if they were off an upset win, and their opponent was off a SU loss.  Lay the points with the Bengals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:20 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the UNDER in the Cincinnati/New York game.  I'll look for a relatively low-scoring game on Sunday night, as the Giants have gone 68-45 Under the total when the O/U line was greater than 46 points, while the Bengals are 37-10 Under on the road when the O/U line was greater than 46 points.  Additionally, the Under falls into a 336-233-12 Totals system of mine.  Take the Giants and Bengals Under the total.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers minus the points over the Denver Broncos.  The Broncos blew out Las Vegas, 34-18, last week.  They'll now host the rested Chargers, who had last week off to rest and regroup following their 17-10 loss to the defending champion Chiefs two weeks ago.  I'll take Los Angeles, as the Broncos are a brutal 4-18 ATS at home off an ATS win, if they were playing a .500 (or better) foe in their current game.  Additionally, each of these teams is playing the 2nd of back to back division contests.  And AFC West teams have covered 62% of division games, if they were off a division loss, and their opponent was off a division win.  Take L.A. minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
 
10/13/2024 - WNBAWINNER
At 3 pm, on Sunday, in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, our selection is on the New York Liberty minus the points over Minnesota.  The Lynx upset the Liberty, 95-93, in overtime, on Thursday to take a 1-0 series lead.  We'll lay the points with New York in Game 2, as home teams have cashed 64% in the WNBA Finals off a SU loss.  Additionally, the Liberty are 9-0 SU their last nine off a loss in their previous game, including 6-0 ATS their last six.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns + the points over the Philadelphia Eagles.  The Eagles are 2-2 on the season, and have been outscored by 2.4 ppg. They're now favored by more than a touchdown against Cleveland, which is 1-4 SU/ATS.  I'm not a fan of laying 7+ points with teams that have negative scoring margins, and especially not against opponents with worse won/loss records, as our favorites have covered just 35.7% since 1980.  This season, underdogs in the +7 to +10 price range are a staggering 7-0 SU/ATS!  We'll grab the points with the Browns.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 am, on Sunday morning, in a game played in London, our selection is on the Jacksonville Jaguars + the points over Chicago.  The Bears blew out Carolina, 36-10, and that was their 2nd straight win and cover.  I'll fade Chicago in this game across the pond, as Chicago is a wallet-crushing 35-54 ATS off a win by more than 10 points, including 2-14-1 ATS away from home off back-to-back SU/ATS wins.  And it is 0-8-1 ATS its last 9 after covering the spread by 10+ points in its previous game.  Take the Jaguars.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
 
10/12/2024 - College FootballLOSER
At 7:45 pm, our selection is on the Kentucky Wildcats minus the points over Vanderbilt.  The Commodores stunned #1-ranked Alabama last week, 40-35, as a 23-point home underdog.  I look for a letdown on Saturday night in Lexington, as winning teams, off an upset win as an underdog of more than 18 points, have gone 2-18 ATS when priced from +3 to +17 points vs. a foe off a SU win.  That doesn't bode well for Vandy on Saturday.  Nor does the fact that the Commodores are 0-8 SU/ATS as underdogs away from home off an upset win.  Lay the points with Kentucky.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
