At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Drake Bulldogs minus the points over Valparaiso.  The Bulldogs have won the last eight meetings vs. the Beacons, and we'll lay the short number at home this evening.  Valpo has won just 27 of its last 121 road games, straight-up.  And when it's owned a better W/L record than its opponent (as it does tonight), it's covered just 17 of 43 games.  The Bulldogs fall into a 177-111 ATS system of mine.  Lay the points with Drake.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Howard Bison + the points over Yale.  The Bulldogs come into this game off 3 straight ATS losses, while Howard is riding an 11-4 ATS run.  We'll grab the points with the home dog tonight, as Howard falls into a 69% ATS system of mine which plays on certain home underdogs in non-conference games.  Take Howard.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. 

Our 3 selections include North Alabama, Alcorn St. and the OVER in the NC Central/Delaware St. game.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the North Alabama Lions + the points over Central Arkansas.  The Lions come into this game off back to back blowout losses.  They fell to these Bears two games ago, 81-60, and also lost on Saturday to Austin Peay, 91-62.  Meanwhile, the Bears have won seven in a row, and are on a 6-game ATS win streak.  We'll take North Alabama, as revenge-minded teams have cashed 65.7% since 1990 vs. foes off back to back wins, if the revenger was off back to back losses by more than 20 points, and also failed to cover the spread in those two games by more than 10 points.  Take the Lions.<br><br>At 8 pm, our selection is on the Alcorn St. Braves minus the points over Mississippi Valley St.  The Braves are just 4-18 on the season, but the Delta Devils are even worse, at 1-22.  Alcorn State has won the last 12 meetings vs. Mississippi Valley, and is also 7-2 ATS its last nine as a road favorite, and 19-7-2 ATS off back-to-back losses (including 5-0 ATS as a favorite).  Meanwhile, Mississippi Valley has covered just 4 of 15 when it wasn't getting more than 8 points.  Take Alcorn State.<br><br>At 8 pm, our selection is on the OVER in the Delaware State/North Carolina Central game.  The Hornets mustered just 47 points in their 65-47 loss at Coppin State on Saturday.  And that was their 3rd straight game which went Under the total.  The knee-jerk reaction might be to look for another low-scoring game tonight.  But teams off 3+ Unders have gone 198-152 OVER the total after scoring 50 (or less) points (and going Under by 21+ points) in their previous game.  Five of the last seven meetings between the Hornets and Eagles have gone OVER the total, and we'll look for that to continue on Monday night.  Take the OVER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6:30 pm, on Sunday, February 8, our selection is on the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks to go OVER the total.  New England went 9-0 away from home this season, while Seattle went 8-1 away from home.  And both teams had no problem putting up points on the road.  The Patriots averaged 27.3, while the Seahawks averaged 24.2.  Admittedly, both of these two teams have stellar defenses.  Seattle gives up just 17.10 ppg, while New England's scoring defense is a smidge higher, at 17.30 ppg.  But even though both have great defensive units, I foresee a higher-scoring game than anticipated.  Indeed, NFL post-season games tend to be OVERS when two teams with very good defenses meet up.  Since 1980, Playoff games between teams with scoring defenses that give up less than 20 ppg have gone 55.2% UNDER, while Playoff games between teams with scoring defenses that give up 20+ ppg have gone 57.9% OVER the total.  Likewise, if both teams' scoring defenses give up, in the aggregate, LESS than 34.5 ppg, the OVER has cashed 60.4 percent since 1980, including 14-5 in Super Bowls.  The Patriots are a decided underdog in the game.  And they've gone 19-8 OVER the total when installed as an underdog.  Meanwhile, the Seahawks are 25-15 OVER the total as a favorite, including 15-6 OVER when favored by more than 4 points.  Finally, the OVER also falls into systems of mine with records of 24-1, 40-7, 39-20, 62-35, 50-13 and 54-15.  Take the Patriots and Seahawks OVER the total.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 3:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over Los Angeles.  Minnesota was an 8.5-point home favorite in its last game, but lost outright to the Pelicans, 119-115.  We'll take the T-Wolves to bounce back today, as they've cashed 58% since 1990 as a favorite (or PK) following an upset loss as an 8-point (or greater) favorite.  Minnesota's also won the last five meetings vs. Los Angeles, and is 11-2 SU and 8-5 ATS its last 13 meetings.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the OVER in the Central Florida/Cincinnati game.  Both of these teams come into this game off bad offensive outings.  UCF scored just 55 points in its loss at Houston, while Cincinnati mustered just 54 points vs. West Virginia.  I look for both offenses to have better performances today, as the OVER falls into a 57% system of mine.  Take the OVER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include Ohio State, Maryland and Northwestern.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes + the points over Michigan.  The Buckeyes lost by 12 to Michigan last month in Ann Arbor.  We'll take Ohio State to avenge that loss, as the Buckeyes have cashed 60% since 1990 at home when playing with revenge from a Big 10 road loss earlier in the season.  Grab the points.<br><br>At 2 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins + the points over Minnesota.  The Terps are on a 4-game SU/ATS losing streak.  But that has triggered a very good 910-663 ATS system of mine.  Additionally, the Gophers have covered just 9 of 29 vs. conference foes off 3 (or more) SU/ATS losses.  Take Maryland as a double-digit underdog.<br><br>At 3:00 pm, our selection is on the Northwestern Wildcats + the points over Iowa.  The Wildcats were blasted, 84-44, at Illinois on Wednesday.  Off that embarrassing loss, we'll grab the points with Northwestern this afternoon, as it's cashed 67% over the last 30 year following a loss by more than 25 points.  Northwestern also falls into a 990-766 ATS system of mine based on that blowout loss.  Take the Wildcats.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 12 Noon, our selection is on the South Florida Bulls minus the points over Tulsa.  The Bulls come into this game off back to back point spread losses to Temple and Texas-San Antonio.  We'll take South Florida to bounce back, as it's 37-23-4 ATS off back-to-back ATS losses when not getting more than 1 point.  Tulsa, meanwhile, continues to struggle on the road, as it's 3-5 ATS this season on an opponent's home court, and 16-40 ATS its last 56 (including 3-20 ATS off a SU win).  Take South Florida.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the BYU Cougars + the points over Houston.  BYU comes into this game having lost its last seven to the spread.  But the Cougars are 22-7 ATS off 4+ point spread losses if they weren't getting more than 3 points in the current game.  Even better:  Big 12 home dogs have cashed 62.8% off back to back SU/ATS losses vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins.  Finally, BYU also falls into a 160-106-4 ATS revenge system of mine.  Take the Cougars on this Saturday night.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Michigan St. Spartans minus the points over Illinois.  The Spartans enter tonight's game off back to back SU/ATS losses.  We'll take Tom Izzo's men to bounce back at home, as Illinois is an awful 19-34-3 ATS off a SU win, if its foe was off back to back SU/ATS losses.  Take the Spartans to blow out the Illini.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
