At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Hurricanes over the Los Angeles Kings. The Hurricanes lost a tough one on Saturday night in DC, falling to the Capitals in OT after building a 3-0 lead four minutes into the second period. But good teams find a way to forget about those kind of losses real quick and that's exactly what the 'Canes need to do as they head back home overnight in order to be ready to welcome the Kings to town for this Sunday matinee. Carolina beat this L.A. team back in October 2025 by the exact same 4-3 overtime score that is lost by last night and now the 'Canes look to sweep the season series here at the PNC Arena. Carolina goes for its 20th home win tonight which would tie the 'Canes with Colorado in that category, only one behind Boston who leads the league in home victories. The Kings are just 11-14 in 25 games this season when revenging a loss against an opponent and they're 8-12 in 20 games vs. Eastern Conference teams this season. Take the Hurricanes. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Marymount Lions + the points over Santa Clara.  The Broncos blew out the Lions by 31 points earlier this month.  We'll take the revenge-minded Lions as a huge home dog tonight, as underdogs off back to back SU/ATS losses have gone 112-89 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss by 30+ points earlier in the season.  Take Loyola Marymount.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Utah Mammoth over the Dallas Stars. The Stars have won four of six meetings since the Mammoth moved from Arizona to Utah in 2024. But Utah won the last one at home 16 days ago and, tonight,  it will try to do it again. Delta Center has been very good to the Mammoth this season as they are 15-7-2 here (vs. just 13-15-2 on the road) and the fact that they've played six more games away from home bodes well for the coming weeks. The Mammoth return from a four-game road trip in which they went 2-2 but that trip was much better than that record would indicate as the two defeats came against the two best teams in the East (a 2-0 loss in Tampa to the red-hot Lightning and a 5-4 loss in Raleigh to the 'Canes). Now Utah has the benefit of six straight home games (three before the Olympics break and three after). The Mammoth is 10-4 in the second half of the season and 6-1 during that time at home while the Stars are 4-5 in nine games this season when revenging a road loss. Take Utah. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over Dallas.  The Mavericks won the previous two meetings vs. the Rockets.  But both of those were in Dallas; tonight's game is in Houston, where the Rockets are 16-4 SU this season.  Houston is also 19-10 SU and 17-12 ATS at home vs. Dallas since 2013.  And it is 35-9-1 ATS when playing with double-revenge, when it wasn't getting more than 4 points, including a perfect 11-0 ATS vs. division rivals.  Take Houston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia 76ers minus the points over New Orleans.  The Pelicans took down Memphis last night, 114-106, as a 3-point home favorite.  And that was New Orleans' 4th straight ATS victory.  We'll fade the Pels this evening, as unrested underdogs of +7 (or more) points are 85-121 ATS off 4 straight ATS wins.  Take Philly.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include New Orleans, Southern Illinois, and Texas-El Paso.<br><br>At 6 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Privateers minus the points over Northwestern State.  The Demons upset New Orleans, 74-68, earlier this season.  We'll lay the points with the Privateers, as they're 13-4 ATS when playing with revenge from an upset loss earlier in the season.  Take New Orleans.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Southern Illinois Salukis minus the points over Illinois-Chicago.  The Salukis were upset, 70-57, by the Flames earlier this month.  We'll take Southern Illinois to avenge that defeat this evening, as they've won 8 of the previous 10 games vs. the Flames, SU.  And Southern Illinois falls into a super 203-133-12 ATS revenge system of mine.  Lay the points.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Texas-El Paso Miners minus the points over Delaware.  UTEP was upset at home, 69-59, by Louisiana Tech on Wednesday.  UTEP is back in front of its home faithful tonight, and it's an awesome 32-14 ATS at home off an upset loss, if it wasn't getting more than 2 points.  Take UTEP.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi Valley St. Delta Devils + the points over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.  The Delta Devils are a solid 60-37 ATS when priced from +8.5 to +22.5 points, and we'll grab the points this afternoon and fade Pine Bluff which is off an upset win over Southern U.  But Pine Bluff is just 13-29-1 ATS on the road off a point spread win, while the Delta Devils have cashed 61.1% as an underdog vs. foes off upset wins.  Mississippi Valley is also 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings with the Golden Lions.  Grab the points with the home dog.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the VMI Keydets + the points over Mercer.  The Bears won SU/ATS, 77-67, earlier this month at VMI.  We'll take the double-digits in this return match, as double-digit road dogs have gone 418-306 ATS off back to back losses, if they were playing with revenge from a double-digit SU/ATS home loss, and their foe was off a SU win.  Additionally, VMI falls into 583-392 and 654-431 ATS systems of mine.  Take the Keydets.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
