YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bulls minus the points over Charlotte. The Hornets are on a 7-game losing streak and have been installed as a small home underdog vs. the Chicago Bulls. I don't want any part of the Hornets in this price range, as they're 22-40 ATS their last 62 when not getting 4+ points, including 12-27 ATS at home. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 13-5 ATS their last 18 off a SU loss, and 15-3 ATS their last 18 vs. the Hornets. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the North Texas/Temple game to go UNDER the total. These two teams met each of the two previous seasons, and both games went UNDER the total including last year's 24-17 game, which went under the total of 63 by 22 points. This year's line is even higher than last season's, and Temple is 10-3-1 UNDER the total when the O/U line is 62+ points. Additionally, the UNDER falls into a 94-59-2 Totals system of mine. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the North Texas Mean Green minus the points over Temple. North Texas has won and covered 5 straight games heading into this season finale, while the Owls have lost their last three games. The Mean Green have racked up 53 and 56 points in their previous two games, so I won't step in front of this freight train. Indeed, teams playing their final home game of the season, off back to back SU/ATS wins in which they scored 50+ points, have covered 68.1% since 1980. Lay the wood. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 7 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Panthers + the points over Ohio State. The Buckeyes are 6-0 this season, but all 6 games were at home. And 5 of the 6 were against cupcakes, as Ohio State was favored by 34 vs. IU Indy, 24 vs. Fort Wayne, 23 vs. Appalachian St., 26.5 vs. Western Michigan, and 29 vs. Mount St. Mary's. Those 5 teams' have an average ranking of 283 at KenPom.com (there are 365 teams in Division 1). The Buckeyes' only game vs. a quality opponent was when it hosted Notre Dame (currently rated #73), and Ohio State won by 1 point, 64-63, as a 9.5 point home favorite. Teams playing on an opponent's home court for the first time, at Game 7 (or later) that have a scoring average of +25 (or more) ppg, are 1-9 ATS their last 10. And they're also 16-34 ATS when priced from +2.5 to -15.5 points. We'll fade Ohio State in this step-up in class on the road. Grab the points with Pittsburgh. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 4:30 pm, in a game played in Las Vegas, in the Resorts World Classic, our selection is on the Lehigh Mountain Hawks + the points over Cal Santa Barbara. Lehigh has generally been solid as a big underdog, as it's 31-16 ATS when getting more than 7 points, including 16-5 ATS off a loss. UCSB, on the other hand, is 23-41-2 ATS its last 65, including 14-28-1 ATS as a favorite. Take Lehigh + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
