At 10:40 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers.  Detroit was blown out by the Clippers in their last game, as Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 55 points.  We'll take Detroit to bounce back, as it's 21-6 ATS off an upset loss if it was playing an opponent with a win percentage greater than .625 in its current game.  Even better:  the Lakers have cashed just 41% as a home underdog vs. foes off back to back losses, provided the Lakers were also not off back to back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 5 selections include the Bowling Green Falcons, Marquette Golden Eagles, Creighton Bluejays, Stanford Cardinal, and San Diego Toreros.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the Bowling Green Falcons minus the points over Miami-Ohio.  The RedHawks are on a 3-game ATS win streak.  But Bowling Green has gone 26-4 SU and 21-7-2 ATS as a favorite (or PK) in Mid-American Conference games if its opponent was on a 3-game (or better) ATS win streak.  Lay the points with Bowling Green.<br><br>At 7 pm our selection is on the Marquette Golden Eagles + the points over Seton Hall.  Marquette is 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Pirates.  And Marquette is also 6-1 ATS its last seven as a home underdog.  Grab the points with Shaka Smart's men.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Creighton Bluejays minus the points over Butler.  The Bluejays are riding a 3-0 SU/ATS win streak.  We'll take Creighton tonight, as it's won 11 of the last 15 meetings vs. Butler.  And it's also a solid 31-16-1 ATS as a favorite if it was on a 3-game (or better) SU/ATS win streak.  Take the Bluejays.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal minus the points over Notre Dame.  The Irish were upset, 72-69, by Fort Wayne in their previous game, while Stanford is on a 4-game win streak.  We'll lay the points with the Cardinal, as they're 53-22 ATS as a home favorite off a SU win, if their foe was off a SU/ATS loss.  Take Stanford.<br><br>At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Toreros + the points over Gonzaga.  San Diego defeated Pacific in its last game, and has been installed as a huge underdog at home vs. Gonzaga tonight.  San Diego is a solid 39-26 ATS as a double-digit dog off a SU win.  And underdogs of more than 24 points have cashed 54.3% in conference games on the regular board.  Take the Toreros.  Good luck, as always..Al McMordie.

At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Atlanta/Los Angeles game.  The Falcons have played their last six Monday Night Football games UNDER the total, as have the Rams.  And while it's true that Los Angeles' last four games have all sailed over the total, Monday Night Football games have gone 65.1% UNDER since 1980 if a team had played its previous four games Over the total.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our selections include the Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers.<br><br>At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over Washington.  The Wizards pulled off upset wins in their last two games, vs. Toronto and Memphis.  We'll fade Washington tonight, as double-digit home dogs have cashed just 41% since 1990 off back to back upset wins.  Lay the points with the Suns.<br><br>At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Houston.  Indiana has lost its last eight games.  We'll grab the big number with Rick Carlisle's men tonight, as Indiana is 29-12-2 ATS as double-digit underdogs off back to back losses.  Take the Pacers.<br><br>At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points over Chicago.  The T-Wolves lost a heartbreaker on Christmas in overtime, 142-138, at Denver.  And then it followed that game up with another loss -- 123-107 -- at home vs. Brooklyn.  We'll take the Timberwolves to bounce back tonight, as they're 9-1 ATS their last 10 off back-to-back losses.  Additionally, the Wolves fall into a 95-50 ATS system of mine which plays on certain road favorites off back-to-back losses.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers minus the points over Kent St.  The Golden Flashes have struggled mightily vs. the Big 10, going 2-9 ATS their last 11.  They're stepping up in class tonight as Purdue is ranked among the Top 5 in the country.  Purdue is a terrific 95-67-1 ATS when favored by 15+ points.  And Kent falls into a negative 85-186 ATS system of mine which plays against certain road teams.  Take Purdue.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers + the points over Georgia Southern.  The Mountaineers' scoring defense rates 4.33 ppg better than that of the Eagles, who are giving up 34.1 ppg.  And Georgia Southern's scoring defense was the worst of any of the 64 teams playing in the post-season this year.  I don't like laying points with bad defensive teams in the Bowls.  Indeed, Bowl favorites (or PK) that surrender 30 (or more) ppg have covered just 36% since 1990 if they also had a worse scoring defense than their opponent.  Take Appalachian St.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, in an EARLY afternoon game, our selection is on the Penn State Nittany Lions minus the points over North Carolina Central.  Penn State comes into this game off 3 straight losses to Indiana, Michigan St., and Pittsburgh.  It will no doubt be relieved to be playing the 4-10 Eagles, as it is heavily favored today.  We'll lay the points, as Penn State is 25-13-1 ATS when priced from -15.5 to -25.5 points.  Even better:  the Nittany Lions are 13-6 ATS their last 19 off 3+ losses.  And, since 1990, they've cashed 58% of non-conference games off back to back defeats.  Lay the points with Penn State.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over Old Dominion.  The Terps come into this game off 3 straight losses to Iowa, Michigan and Virginia.  But Maryland was a double-digit underdog in each of those three games.  So, it will no doubt be happy to see the 4-9 Monarchs roll into XFINITY Center this evening.  Maryland is 27-1 SU and 22-6 ATS as a favorite of 8 (or more) points in non-conference games off a SU loss.  And Big 10 Conference teams have cashed 58% since 1990 off back-to-back losses, if they were favored by more than 9 points, and did not own a winning record.  Lay the points with the Terps.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include the Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers.<br><br>At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Philadelphia.  The Thunder were walloped on Christmas Day by San Antonio.  But the Spurs clearly present unique problems to OKC, which other teams do not.  I look for the Thunder to bounce back this afternoon, as defending champs have cashed 62% since 1997 off an upset loss as a favorite of more than 10 points.  Take the Thunder.<br><br>At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  Los Angeles is on a 3-game SU/ATS win streak.  Unfortunately, the Clippers have covered just 42% as a home underdog off 3 SU/ATS wins over the last 36 seasons.  Meanwhile, Detroit is 58-45-3 ATS on the road off an upset loss, when matched-up against a foe off a SU win.  With the Pistons in off a 131-129 upset at the hands of the Utah Jazz, we'll lay the points with Detroit tonight.<br><br>At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over the Sacramento Kings.  The Lakers were called out publicly by coach JJ Redick on Christmas for their failure to play defense, so I expect a much better effort in that regard, tonight.  Los Angeles is a solid 57% as a favorite off 3 SU/ATS losses since 1990 when matched-up against a losing team.  Lay the points with L.A.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
