Al McMordie Handicapper Reviews & Picks

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Utah Valley Wolverines minus the points over Utah Tech. We played on the Trailblazers yesterday vs. Southern Utah, and got the $$$ in a 7 point victory. But that game was at Burns Arena, on Utah Tech's campus. This game will be played in Las Vegas. And underdogs of +3 (or more) points, playing a neutral site game following a tourney win as a home favorite, have cashed just 38.7% in the conference tourneys since 1990. Utah Valley has gone 15-5 ATS its last 20 lined games, including 6-0 ATS when laying 9+ points. Take the Wolverines. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the SMU Mustangs minus the points over Syracuse. The Mustangs come into this game off 4 ATS losses, while the Orange are off 2 SU/ATS wins. We'll side with SMU, and look for the Mustangs to get back into the ATS win column tonight, as ACC teams have cashed 59% off 2+ point spread defeats in the post-season, if they were favored by more than 4 points against a foe off back to back SU/ATS wins. Lay the points with SMU. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the USC Trojans over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Trojans were blown out, 90-63, by rival UCLA on Saturday. We'll take the Trojans to rebound off that debacle, as they're 75-53 ATS off a double-digit loss, if they weren't getting 3+ points in their current game. Additionally, the Trojans fall into a 73% ATS Tourney system of mine. Take USC. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Northern Colorado/Montana game. The Bears have played their last 3 games under the total. And each has gone under by wide margins (20.5, 18.5 and 28.5 points). Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the American Eagles minus the points over Navy. American lost to Navy two weeks ago, 68-60. We'll take the Eagles to avenge that defeat as they fall into a 73% ATS system of mine which plays on certain revenge-minded teams in Conference Tourney title games. Lay the points.

At 6:30 pm, our selection is on the Georgetown Hoyas minus the points over DePaul. This is a rematch of a game played last Saturday, and won by DePaul as an underdog. We'll take Georgetown to avenge that defeat, as match-ups favor the upsettee when they play in the post-season for a second meeting in a row. Take Georgetown to bounce back off its upset loss.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Jacksonville State Gamecocks minus the points over Florida International. The Panthers upset Western Kentucky yesterday, 64-61. But they've cashed just 40% in the post-season as an underdog off an upset win. Take the Gamecocks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Seton Hall Pirates + the points over Villanova. The Pirates were blasted, 81-50, by UConn on Saturday. We'll take Seton Hall to bounce back, as Big East teams have gone 33-15 ATS off a loss by 30+ points. Take the Pirates.

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Jackson State Tigers minus the points over Florida A&M. The Tigers enter on a 6-game win streak. And they're also 16-8 ATS their last 24. The Tigers did lose the last meeting to the Rattlers. But Jackson St. is 10-5 ATS as a revenge-minded favorite. Lay the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal minus the points over California. These two erstwhile Pac-12 schools are now doing battle in the ACC. Stanford has dominated its rival, including going 20-5 ATS at home, or on neutral courts, when priced from +3 to -9 points. Take Stanford.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Air Force + the points over UNLV. The Rebels will be at home, at Thomas & Mack Center, for this game. Unfortunately, they're 44-80 ATS at home when favored by more than 8 points. Take the Falcons.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks + the points over Norfolk St. The Hawks ended the season on a 5-1-1 ATS run, including a cover as a 13-point dog vs. these Spartans. Norfolk has NOT been good as a double-digit favorite, when not playing on its home court (Joseph G. Echols Hall), going 4-11-1 ATS. Grab the points with the Hawks.

At 6 pm, our selection is on the Quinnipiac Bobcats minus the points over Rider. The Broncs pulled off an upset in the Tourney yesterday. But they're still a poor 7-14 ATS as an underdog off a win in the post-season. Take the Bobcats. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 5:00 pm, our selection is on the McNeese State Cowboys minus the points over Lamar. The #1-seeded Cowboys are favored by double-digits over the #2-seeded Cardinals. We'll lay the points, as top seeds have cashed 70.8% in the post-season since 1990 when favored by double-digits over #2 seeds. Take McNeese.

At 3:00 pm, our selection is on the West Virginia Mountaineers minus the points over Colorado. The Buffaloes did pull off an upset in the opening round of the Big 12 Tourney yesterday. But they are still a brutal 39-57 ATS in the post-season. Take West Virginia.

At 2:30 pm, our selection is on the North Carolina Tar Heels minus the points over Notre Dame. The Tar Heels are 10-0 ATS in their initial ACC Tourney game the last 10 post-seasons. Lay the points.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Dallas. This is the 2nd of back-to-back games between these Southwest division rivals -- both played in the Alamo City. San Antone was upset, 133-129, as a 7-point favorite on Monday. We'll lay the points with the Spurs, as they're 60-32-1 ATS when playing with revenge from a loss as a 7-point (or greater) favorite, including 23-8 ATS vs. division rivals. Take the Spurs. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Minnesota. The Nuggets have lost their first two meetings this season against the Timberwolves. But both of those games were played at Target Center; this game is at Ball Arena. Denver is a solid 53-34-2 ATS its last 89 when playing with double-revenge, including 7-1-2 ATS its last 10. And Minnesota is 10-20 ATS when playing a foe it defeated in the season's two prior meetings. Take Denver. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
