At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Jackson State Tigers + the points over St. Louis. The Tigers have yet to win a game this season. They're 0-7 SU and 2-5 ATS. But this is not wholly unexpected, given that all 7 games have been on the road. And they've been priced between +15 and +36 for all 7 games. In stark contrast to Jackson State's schedule is that of St. Louis. It has yet to play a road game this season, as it's played 4 home games, and two on neutral courts, and it's 4-2 SU but 1-4 ATS. We'll fade St. Louis, as it's 0-6 ATS its last six games when favored by more than 11 points, while the Tigers are 39-24 ATS as an underdog away from home vs. foes not off a SU/ATS win. Take Jackson St. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

At 7:05 pm, our
selection is on the New Jersey Devils over the New York Rangers. After
five straight losses, the Rangers finally got back on the winning track
on Saturday. But it took a home game against a very bad Canadiens team
to do it, and even then, it wasn't easy as New York needed a last minute
power play to score the winning goal and escape with a 4-3 victory.
With a 13-10 record over their first 23 games, this is clearly not the
same Rangers team that won the Division and the President's trophy last
season with 114 points. While the Devils have already wrapped up their
season series with the Capitals on Saturday, this will be the first
meeting of New Jersey and New York since last April with the Rangers
having dominated last season, going 4-0 vs. the Devils. Don't expect
the same thing in 2024-25 as along with what appears to be the demise of
the Rangers, we're seeing an even better Devils team this season than
we saw last. New Jersey is 11-4 away from home this season and 5-1 on
the road following a loss. Take the Devils. As always, good luck...Al
McMordie. |
12/2/2024 - College Basketball | LOSER |
Our 3 selections include Coppin State, Tulane and Washington State.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Coppin State Eagles + the points over Loyola-Maryland. The Eagles are currently riding a 21-game losing streak. They lost 13 games in a row to end last season, and have started out 0-8 this season. Of course, all we care about is the point spread, and the Eagles are 3-5 ATS this year, though they've lost their last two games ATS. But that bodes well for them tonight, as they're 5-0-1 ATS their last six off back to back ATS defeats. Meanwhile, the Greyhounds are a horrible 3-16 ATS when not getting more than 6 points. And, even worse, they're 17-33-1 ATS their last 51 as a favorite. Take Coppin State + the points.<br><br>At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Tulane Green Wave minus the points over SE Louisiana. We played against Tulane 10 days ago as an 18-point favorite vs. cross-town rival, New Orleans, and got the $$$ when the Privateers stunned the Green Wave with a huge 93-87 upset win. Since that shocking loss, the Green Wave have dropped two more games (both SU and ATS) to Wyoming and Belmont. Tonight, they'll face another Louisiana State rival in SE Louisiana. We'll lay the points, as Tulane's average margin of victory in the last 10 meetings has been 15.4 ppg. And the Lions have cashed just 33% vs. foes off 3 SU/ATS losses. Take Tulane.<br><br>At 10 pm, our selection is on the Washington State Cougars + the points over Nevada. The Cougars were blown out, 77-60, as a 5-point underdog, this past Wednesday by SMU. Still, the Cougars are a solid 6-2 SU and 4-3-1 ATS this season. And they're 17-10-1 ATS their last 28, dating back to last season. We'll grab the points with Washington State, as Nevada is a nasty 28-58-2 ATS when favored by double-digits, when it didn't have revenge, vs. a foe off a SU loss. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
12/1/2024 - NBA | WINNER |
At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers + the points over Boston. The Cavaliers have been installed as a home underdog this evening vs. Boston, and the Cavs are a perfect 3-0 ATS as an underdog this season, including when it got 7 from Boston in a 120-117 loss on November 19. The Cavs are also 6-1 ATS their last seven at home when playing with revenge, and not favored by 6+ points. Finally, the Cavs fall into a 293-200 ATS system of mine which plays on certain top-level teams vs. foes not off a SU/ATS loss. Take Cleveland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
12/1/2024 - College Basketball | PUSH |
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Golden Gophers minus the points over Bethune-Cookman. After an 80-57 win and cover vs. Oral Roberts to kick off the season, the Golden Gophers have gone 4-3 SU, but 0-7 ATS, including back to back losses to Wichita St and Wake Forest on Thursday/Friday. We'll take the Gophers to bounce back this afternoon, as they've covered 60.8% at home since 1990 off back to back losses, if they were matched up against a losing team. Lay the points with Minnesota. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
12/1/2024 - NFL | WINNER |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Los Angeles Chargers/Atlanta Falcons game. Both of these teams have largely played unders this season. The Chargers are 7-4 to the Under while Atlanta is also 7-4 under. And the Falcons are 29-10 UNDER in non-division home games, including 5-0 UNDER the last five. Take the Under. |
12/1/2024 - NFL | LOSER |
Our 3 selections include the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and New England Patriots.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Falcons + the points over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Falcons were blown out, 38-6, last week by Denver. I like the Falcons to bounce back at home this afternoon, as home dogs (or PK) have gone 113-74 ATS off a road loss by 28+ points. Take Atlanta.<br><br>At 1:00 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over Indianapolis. In the last 5 weeks of an NFL season, home dogs of less than 11 points (or PK) have covered 57.1% since 1980 off back to back ATS losses. And New England is 58-33-1 ATS off a loss, if they weren't favored by 7+ points. Take the home dog Patriots.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over Seattle. The Jets are 18-0 ATS when priced from -1.5 to +11.5 points in the 2nd of back to back home games, if they were not off a SU/ATS win, and their opponent has a winning record. Take New York. Good luck as always...Al McMordie. |

Our 3 selections include the Washington Commanders, Jacksonville
Jaguars, and the UNDER in the Pittsburgh/Cincinnati
game.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the Washington
Commanders minus the points over Tennessee. We played on the Titans
last week, and were rewarded with a huge upset win over the Texans, as
an 8-point road underdog. But off that stellar game, we'll fade
Tennessee on Sunday, as road underdogs, off upset road wins as an
underdog of 8+ points, have gone 35-58 ATS. Take the
Commanders.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in
the Pittsburgh/Cincinnati game. The Bengals have gone Over in eight of
their last 10, and their games are averaging 53.9 ppg this season. But
the Steelers are one of four teams whose defensive ppg is less than 17
points. And only one of Pittsburgh's games had an O/U line this high.
That was its game vs. the Ravens -- another team playing high-scoring
games. Baltimore's games were averaging 57.1 ppg, but its game vs.
Pittsburgh finished 18-16. The Steelers are 47-26 UNDER the total in
games with O/U lines at 47+ points. Take the
Under.<br><br>At 1 pm, our selection is on the Jacksonville
Jaguars + the points over Houston. The Jags had their Bye week last
weekend following their 52-6 loss to Detroit. I like them to bounce
back from that 46-point shellacking, as rested home dogs, with a losing
record, off a SU/ATS loss, have gone 14-2 ATS vs. unrested division foes
with a winning record. Take Jacksonville. Good luck, as always...Al
McMordie. |
11/30/2024 - NHL | LOSER |
At 10:05 pm,
our selection is on the Colorado Avalanche over the Edmonton Oilers.
The Avs were in Dallas last night where they lost to a Stars club that
is extremely tough at home this season. After that game they flew home
so they can face the Oilers tonight for the first time this season.
Edmonton also has a quick turnaround after beating the Utah Hockey Club
on the road Friday night. The Oilers were lucky to get out of Salt Lake
City with a victory as they were out-played and out-shot last night and
now they'll face a much tougher task at Ball Arena against the 13-11
Avalanche. Historically, this has been a tough place for visiting
teams, although not as much this season as the Avs are just 7-6 here.
But that stat is misleading for tonight's game as in the last six games
here, the Avalanche is 5-1 with victories over the Kings, Hurricanes,
and Golden Knights included in those. Colorado has dominated this
series lately, taking seven of the last 10 regular season meetings going
back to 2019 plus a four-game Conference Finals sweep back in 2022.
Take Colorado. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Wizards + the points over Milwaukee. The Bucks have won 5 straight, while Washington has dropped 13 straight. I like Washington + the points, as the Bucks are a brutal 55-89 ATS vs. rested foes, if the Bucks were off 3+ wins, and favored by 3+ points. Even better: Milwaukee is 13-36-2 ATS when favored by more than 8 points. Take Washington + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
