Our 3 selections include the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder.<br><br>At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over Washington. The Sixers stumbled vs. Denver, and lost 125-124 on Monday. We'll lay the points with Philly tonight, as it's 34-19 ATS when favored by 9+ points in non-division games off a SU loss. Take the 76ers.<br><br>At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over the L.A. Clippers. Since winning the NBA Cup, New York is 1-10 ATS, and it's also dropped its last four games, straight-up. I expect New York to right itself on Wednesday, as it's 103-87 ATS off 3 SU/ATS losses. And it's a perfect 7-0 ATS when favored by more than 2 points off a blowout loss by more than 30 points. Similarly, the Clippers are 0-8 ATS when getting more than 5 points from a foe off a blowout loss by more than 25 points. Take New York.<br><br>At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Utah. The Thunder were blown out by the Charlotte Hornets, 124-97, as a 16-point favorite on Monday. And that was OKC's 2nd straight defeat. We'll lay the points with the Thunder tonight, as defending champs have gone 82-52-1 ATS off a loss, if they failed to cover the spread by 21+ points in that defeat. Lay the big number with the Thunder. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:05 pm,
our selection is on the Dallas Stars over the Washington Capitals. The
on again/off again Capitals were on this past Monday when they rolled
here at home over the Anaheim Ducks, 7-4. Two of those seven goals were
scored at the end into an empty net, but it was still an impressive
display by the Caps who saw young RW Justin Sourdif collect his first
career hat trick. But the Stars pose a much bigger threat than the
Ducks did as they come into Capitol One Arena for the first time in over
a year (October 17, 2024). Even if they were completely healthy, this
would be a tall task for the Caps but the fact is that right now they
are anything but with two of their biggest guns on the sidelines. Both
forwards Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson are nursing lower body injuries
and it is unlikely either of them will be available tonight for this
crucial game. This has been a pretty lopsided series lately with Dallas
taking seven of the last eight meetings going back to March 2022. Take
the Stars. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Rhode Island Rams minus the points over La Salle. The Rams enter tonight's game off 7 straight ATS losses. We'll lay the points with Rhode Island, as teams on 7-game (or worse) ATS losing streaks have cashed 57.3% at home since 1990 if they were a winning team, and matched-up against a losing team. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 5 selections include Baylor, Rice, Mississippi, Wake Forest and VCU.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons minus the points over Miami-Fla. The Deacs enter tonight's game off 4 ATS losses. We'll take Wake Forest to get back into the win column tonight, as single digit ACC Conference favorites have gone 113-71 ATS off 4+ ATS losses. Take the Demon Deacons.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the VCU Rams minus the points over St. Louis. The Rams have dominated the Billikens, going 6-1 SU/ATS in the last seven meetings, and 17-6 SU/15-8 ATS the last 23. St. Louis is a soft 45-58 ATS as a road underdog. Take Virginia Commonwealth.<br><br>At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls + the points over Wichita St. The Shockers were shocked, 104-100, by Charlotte on Saturday, as a 6-point road favorite. Unfortunately, Wichita St. tends to not bounce back off upset losses when priced as a favorite of -9 to -14.5 points, going 2-9 ATS. Wichita also falls into a negative 429-641 ATS system of mine. Take Rice + the points.<br><br>At 8 pm, our selection is on the Baylor Bears + the points over Iowa St. The Cyclones have traditionally been a powerhouse at home (253-199-8 ATS), but have burned money on the road. And if Iowa State was playing on the road vs. a revenge-minded foe off a SU/ATS loss, then the Cyclones have gone 24-33-2 ATS in conference games, including 4-13 ATS as a road favorite. With Baylor playing with revenge from a loss last season to ISU, and also off a SU/ATS loss, we'll grab the points with the home underdog tonight. Take Baylor.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Rebels + the points over Arkansas. The Razorbacks have been installed as a road favorite tonight in Oxford. But Arkansas is a wallet-breaking 104-169 ATS on the road when it wasn't getting 11+ points. Ole Miss is 20-7-1 ATS at home vs. Arkansas. Take the Rebels. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |
| 1/6/2026 - NBA | LOSER |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Los Angeles. After winning 5 straight games, SU/ATS, in mid-December, the Pelicans have now lost seven straight, going 1-6 ATS. The Lakers, meanwhile, are off back-to-back home wins over the Memphis Grizzlies. We'll fade L.A. as a road favorite, as it is 22-52 ATS as a road favorite off back to back home wins. Take New Orleans. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include Oklahoma St, Kansas and Tennessee.<br><br>At 8 pm our selection is on the Oklahoma St. Cowboys minus the points over Central Florida. The Knights have ripped off 11 straight wins, including an upset of Kansas in its previous game. Unfortunately, UCF has covered just 27% of road conference games off an upset win. Lay the points with Okie State.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Texas. Tennessee was upset by Arkansas, 86-75, in its last game. The Volunteers are a solid 34-22 ATS off a double-digit upset defeat. Take Tennessee.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over TCU. The Jayhawks were upset by Central Florida on Saturday, 81-75, as a 4.5-point road favorite. We'll lay the points with Kansas tonight, as it is 110-82 ATS off a SU loss, including 20-13 ATS vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Take Kansas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
| 1/6/2026 - College Basketball | WINNER |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida Gators minus the points over Georgia. The Gators play this game with revenge from a loss at Georgia, 88-83, last season. Florida is 14-0 ATS its last 14 when playing with revenge when the line was 11 points or less. And Georgia is an ugly 3-11 ATS as an underdog vs. revenge-minded SEC Conference foes. Take Florida. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include Central Michigan, Western Michigan, and Penn State.<br><br>At 7 pm our selection is on the Penn State Nittany Lions + the points over Michigan. The Wolverines are having an historic season thus far. Through 13 games, they're 13-0 SU and 9-4 ATS, and have covered the point spread by an average of 12.34 ppg in those 13 games. In the 36 years of my database, no other team has had a point spread differential of 12.34 ppg this far into a season. But when a team does what Michigan is doing, the number (eventually) catches up to it, and we're at that point now. Michigan is laying a huge number at Penn State, which just played another very good team in Illinois, and covered that 15-point spread by 7, losing 73-65. Likewise, Penn State was a 12-point home dog vs. Michigan St. back on December 13, and fell by just four, 76-72. The Nittany Lions are 13-3 ATS their last 16 as home dogs of 8+ points. Take Penn State.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Central Michigan + the points over Akron. The Zips are favored north of 22 points vs. the Chippewas. We'll grab the points with Central Michigan, as MAC Conference teams are a miserable 28-55-2 ATS when favored by more than 16. Take Central Michigan.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Western Michigan Broncos + the points over Miami-Ohio. The RedHawks are 15-0 on the season. But we will fade them as a huge favorite tonight, as 15-0 (or better) teams have gone just 27-45-1 ATS as a home favorite of 16 or less points. The Broncos have covered nine of the last 12 in Oxford and we'll grab the double-digits with Western Michigan this evening. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include the New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets.<br><br>At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Detroit. The Knicks were upset by the 76ers on Saturday, 130-119. We'll take New York to bounce back as it is 72-30 ATS off an upset loss, if matched-up against a .500 (or better) foe in its current game. Take New York.<br><br>At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over Phoenix. Last night, the Suns upset the OKC Thunder, 108-105. We'll fade Phoenix off that huge upset win, as it is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with Houston. Meanwhile, the Rockets will be looking to redeem themselves after getting upset by Dallas on Saturday. And the Rockets are a super 22-6 ATS off an upset loss, while the Suns are 12-35 ATS vs. foes off upset defeats. Take Houston.<br><br>At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets + the points over Philadelphia. The Sixers pulled off an upset win over division rival, New York, on Saturday. But off that win, we'll fade Philly, which is 27-44-3 ATS off an upset, including 5-14-1 ATS as a home favorite. Take Denver + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include Ohio State, Charleston College, and McNeese St.<br><br>At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are 14-0 this season. But only one of those 14 games was played on an opponent's court, as is the case tonight when Nebraska visits Value City Arena. Nebraska has generally struggled on the road, going 89-127-4 ATS, including 44-65-2 ATS off a SU win, while Ohio State is 87-73-1 ATS as a favorite at home in Big 10 games. Lay the points.<br><br>At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the College of Charleston Cougars minus the points over William & Mary. The Cougars enter tonight's game on a 5-game win streak. And they've also won six of the last seven meetings vs. William & Mary. The Tribe has won and covered its last three games. Unfortunately, it's only covered 40% since 1990 off 3 SU/ATS wins, if it wasn't getting 5+ points in its current game. Charleston falls into a 284-189 ATS system of mine. Lay the points.<br><br>At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the McNeese St. Cowboys minus the points over Stephen F. Austin. The Lumberjacks come into tonight's game on a 3-Game SU/ATS win streak. We'll fade SF Austin, as it's cashed just 33% as an underdog off 3 SU/ATS wins. And the Lumberjacks also fall into a negative 273-429 ATS system of mine. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
