At 8:35 pm, our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche minus 1.5 goals over the Calgary Flames.  The Avalanche have locked up a post-season appearance -- their ninth season in a row that they will be in the playoffs -- but their work is not done yet.  Colorado not only wants to hold on to the Central Division lead that it's had virtually all season, but it also wants to lock up the Presidents Trophy thereby getting home ice through the post-season.  It lost its last game on Saturday to the Jets, however the Dallas Stars -- the only team with a chance at catching the Avs -- lost last night in Philly and have been stumbling badly down the stretch, having lost five of their last six overall.  So the Avs still have a comfortable six point lead with 10 games to go (and two in hand over Dallas).  The Avs are always favorites these days no matter who they play and that's certainly true tonight at home against the 31-42 Flames.  The Avs have won seven of the last eight meetings with Calgary, with the lone loss coming in the last meeting.  Take Colorado minus 1.5 goals.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include the Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves.<br><br>At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks over the Boston Celtics.  These two teams met in Beantown last week, and Boston triumphed, 109-102.  We'll take Atlanta to avenge that defeat, as the Hawks are 150-99 ATS at home vs. foes on a 3-game win streak.  Take Atlanta.<br><br>At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Memphis.  The Suns are the #1 point spread-covering team in the NBA this season, with a 45-28-1 record.  And their best segment is as a road favorite, where they are 11-2 ATS.  Meanwhile, Memphis is 26-36 ATS as a home underdog (or PK).  Take the Suns minus the points.<br><br>At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over the Dallas Mavericks.  Dallas won its previous game, but that was as a road underdog.  At home, Dallas has lost its last 10 games, straight-up, as an underdog (0-10 SU, 2-7-1 ATS).   We'll lay the points with Minnesota, and look for it to bounce back off its 109-87 blowout loss vs. Detroit.  Indeed, .600 (or better) teams have gone 172-142-3 ATS off a 20-point (or worse) loss, when matched-up against a foe off a SU/ATS win.  Take Minnesota.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
 
3/29/2026 - NBAWINNER
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Golden State.  The Warriors are on a 3-game win streak after getting by the Wizards on Friday night, 131-126.  Denver, meanwhile, defeated Utah, 135-129, in its most recent game.  The Nuggets lost to the Warriors, 128-117, in the previous meeting.  We'll take the revenge-minded Nuggets, as they're 13-1-1 ATS their last 15 when playing with revenge vs. a conference foe, including 10-0-1 ATS if their opponent was off a straight-up win.  And the Warriors are a woeful 16-31 ATS when catching more than 7 points.  Take the Nuggets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:05 pm, our selection is on the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Boston Bruins.  Both the Blue Jackets and Bruins were on the ice yesterday.  Columbus lost at home to San Jose, while the Bruins bested Minnesota, 6-3.  The Jackets were on a roll, having won five of six between March 17 and 24 but they've now lost two straight coming into this key match-up today.  The Bruins won the first meeting between these teams a month ago at home, 4-2, despite being out-shot by Columbus by a whopping 40-23.  Winning in Boston has not been a problem for the Bruins this season (27-11), but the road has been a different story as away from TD Garden, the Bruins are just 14-21.  The Jackets are 11-6 in 17 games this season when revenging a road loss, including 10-1 when playing at home.  Columbus is also 17-6 in 23 games this season as a home favorite.  Take the Blue Jackets.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks + the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  Milwaukee lost yesterday by 32 points to the San Antonio Spurs.  And that was the Bucks' 3rd straight loss by more than 30 points.  We'll take Milwaukee to bounce back this afternoon, as home dogs of 13+ points are 146-113-6 ATS, including 40-17-1 ATS when playing without rest, and 87-59-4 ATS off a SU/ATS loss.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:45 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Purdue/Arizona game.  The UNDERs have gone 84-59 from the Sweet 16 round forward, and we'll look for a low-scoring game tonight between Purdue and Arizona.  Admittedly, the Wildcats rolled up 109 points in their last game -- a 109-88 blowout of Arkansas.  But NCAA teams are 8-0 UNDER their last eight after tallying 105+ points.  Take Purdue/Arizona UNDER the total.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
 
3/28/2026 - College BasketballLOSER
At 8:45 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers + the points over Arizona.  The Boilermakers are a solid 16-8 ATS as an underdog in the NCAA Tournament, while the Wildcats are an awful 1-9-2 ATS in the NCAA Tourney off a SU/ATS win.  That bodes well for Purdue tonight.  As does the fact that the Boilermakers are 4-1 SU/ATS vs. Arizona since 2000, notwithstanding the fact Purdue was an underdog in every game.  Finally, underdogs have cashed 66% in the NCAA Tourney's Elite 8 Round in match-ups between two teams that won their conference tournament.  Take Purdue.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
 
3/28/2026 - College BasketballLOSER
At 6:05 pm, our selection is on the Iowa Hawkeyes + the points over Illinois.  The #9-seeded Hawkeyes are this season's Cinderella after knocking out #1-seeded Florida in the 2nd Round, and #4-seeded Nebraska in the Sweet 16.  Iowa will now look to avenge an earlier home loss this season to #3-seeded, Illinois.  We'll grab the points as, in the Elite 8 Round, teams seeded #7 (or worse) have cashed 71.8% vs. better-seeded foes since 1990, including 4-0-1 ATS when playing with revenge.  Even better:  Iowa is 22-6 ATS when playing with revenge in the post-season, including a perfect 10-0 ATS when priced from +3.5 to +9.5 points.  Take Iowa.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:35 pm, our selection is on the Buffalo Sabres over the Seattle Kraken.  After their fourth win in a row (three on the road) a week ago, the Sabres must have been feeling good about their chances of winning their first division title in 16 years.  After all, that March 21 victory over the Kings in L.A. put them four points up on the Lightning with four of their next five games coming at home.  But three straight losses later and now Buffalo is in a virtual tie with Tampa -- two points ahead in the standings but with the Bolts having two games in hand.  So this evening's game against the Kraken here at Key Bank Arena is huge if Buffalo wants to keep pace with a Lightning team which knows how to win games late in the season.  It's no doubt a favorable match-up for the home team tonight as Buffalo won the only other meeting this season with the Kraken, holding them to just 24 shots in the 3-1 victory in Seattle on December 14.  Seattle is just 16-24 in 40 games this season revenging a loss vs. an opponent (6-13 on the road).  Take the Sabres.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 5:05 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the New Jersey Devils.  The Hurricanes come into Saturday's game off a loss four days ago at Montreal.  The 'Canes are back home tonight, and they're 43-10 their last 53 at home off a loss.  And they're 92-38 (+19.3 net games) as a favorite at home.  The Devils, meanwhile, are playing their 5th straight road game, and are 3-11 on the road after 3 (or more) road games.  Take Carolina.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
