At 7 pm, our selection is on the Columbia Lions + the points over Harvard. The Lions lost by 25 points in New York City earlier this season. We'll take the revenge-minded Lions, as Ivy League teams have gone 110-78-3 ATS when playing with revenge from a 25-point (or worse) defeat. Take the Lions.
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Northern Illinois Huskies + the points over Akron. Northern Illinois enters this game off 4 straight losses. We'll grab the points, as the Huskies are 43-15 ATS off back to back losses when catching 8+ points. Take Northern Illinois.
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the South Alabama Jaguars minus the points over Georgia Southern. The Jaguars were upset in their last game by Southern Miss. We'll take South Alabama tonight, as Georgia Southern is a poor 29-43 ATS vs. foes off upset losses. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks minus the points over South Dakota. The Mavericks play with revenge from a 17-point loss to the Coyotes nine days ago. We'll take Omaha, as it's 80-58-2 ATS when playing with revenge, including 23-12 ATS as a favorite. Lay the points.
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Merrimack Warriors minus the points over Sacred Heart. The Pioneers come into this game off back to back wins over Mount St. Mary's and Iona. Unfortunately, they're 10-28 ATS off back to back wins. Take Merrimack.
At 10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego St. Aztecs minus the points over the UNLV Rebels. SDSU lost its previous two games on the road vs. New Mexico and Boise St. We'll take the Aztecs to bounce back, as they're 16-8 ATS as a favorite off back to back SU/ATS losses. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Washington State Cougars minus the points over Portland. Wazzu was upset by Pepperdine to end its regular season. But the Cougars are 29-17 ATS as a favorite off an upset loss. Take Washington St.
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Dayton Flyers minus the points over VCU. Dayton lost to the Rams on the road a month ago, 99-73. But the Flyers have gone 6-0 SU and 5-0-1 ATS since. We'll lay the points, as Dayton falls into a revenge system of mine which is 131-71-5 ATS since 1990. Take the Flyers.
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Belmont Bruins minus the points over Drake. The Bruins are the top seed in the Missouri Valley tournament, and have been installed as a double-digit favorite. We'll lay the points, as Belmont is 77-61 ATS when laying double-digits. Take the Bruins.
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks minus the points over Denver. The Nuggets defeated the Lakers last night, 120-113, but are a nasty 64-113 ATS at home when playing without rest. Take New York.
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Phoenix Suns minus the points over New Orleans. The Pelicans have struggled vs. the Suns, going 10-20 SU/ATS in the last 30 meetings, including 0-4 ATS when playing without rest. Phoenix, meanwhile, is 152-100-2 ATS vs. unrested foes off a SU win. Lay the points with the Suns.
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over Portland. The Rockets were upset by the Golden State Warriors in their previous game. We'll take Ime Udoka's men to bounce back, as they're 25-12-1 ATS off an upset loss. Lay the points.
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Charlotte Hornets minus the points over Miami. The Hornets are 8-0-1 ATS their last nine after smashing a very good Celtics team, 118-89. They lost twice earlier in the season to Miami when the Hornets weren't playing well. Take Charlotte.
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics minus the points over Dallas. There's a chance that Jayson Tatum makes his season debut tonight. Regardless, we're on the Celtics to bounce back from their blowout loss to Charlotte. Boston is an awesome 81-36 ATS off a SU loss when playing a foe with a win percentage less than .666. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 7:30 pm our selection is on the Queens, NC Royals minus the points over West Georgia. The Royals lost at Central Arkansas to end their regular season. We'll take them to bounce back this evening, as they're 18-12 ATS as a favorite off a SU loss. Lay the points with Queens, NC.
At 9 pm, our selection is on the Ohio U. Bobcats + the points over Miami-Ohio. The RedHawks are 30-0 on the season, but that streak has an excellent chance of falling by the wayside on Friday night. Indeed, teams undefeated in Conference play with a 13-0 (or better) conference record, have cashed just 23.8% since 1990 when matched up against foes with a win percentage less than .600, if our undefeated team wasn't favored by 8+ points. Additionally, the Bobcats are 121-78-3 ATS at home when playing a foe that doesn't have a worse record than the Bobcats. Take Ohio. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the Winthrop Eagles minus the points over Charleston Southern. The Eagles were upset by the Buccaneers a mere eight days ago, 86-84, in Charleston. Winthrop was an 8.5-point road favorite in that game, so payback will be on its mind today. We'll lay the points, as Charleston Southern is 0-4 ATS its last four when playing a revenge-minded foe. Take the Eagles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 5 pm, our selection is on the Austin Peay Governors minus the points over Stetson. The Governors ended their regulars season with back to back losses to Central Arkansas and Bellarmine. We'll take Austin Peay to bounce back, as it's gone 20-4 ATS on neutral courts when entering off a SU loss. And Austin Peay also falls into a 299-183 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back ATS losses. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At midnight, our selection is on the Cal Riverside Highlanders + the points over Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors blew out Riverside by 43 points when these teams met earlier this season. We'll take Riverside, as double-digit dogs playing with revenge from a 43-point (or worse) defeat earlier in the season have cashed 64.8% since 1990. Take Riverside. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
