YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Michigan St. Spartans minus the points over Toledo. The Spartans got their season off on the right foot with a 96-59 win over Quinnipiac, while Toledo lost 71-70, as a 3.5-point underdog at Arkansas State. The Mid-American Conference has not done well vs. the Big 10, as it's 125-159-5 ATS. And when installed as an underdog of 25+ points, against any conference, MAC teams are a collective 23-40 ATS. Michigan State falls into a 105-34 ATS system of mine, which plays on certain teams off big wins. And the Spartans are also 15-0 SU/ATS when favored by 16+ points off a win by more than 25 points. Take the Spartans. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Penn State Nittany Lions minus the points over Chattanooga. Both of these teams played well in their openers. Chattanooga lost by just 14 points to Louisville, as a 30-point underdog, while Penn State blew out Canisius, 96-57. We'll lay the points with the Nitts at home on Thursday evening, as they're 23-11-2 ATS after covering the spread by more than 14 points in their previous game, while Chattanooga is 23-34-2 ATS in the same situation. Penn State also falls into a 173-112 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off blowout wins. Lay the points.
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Rice Owls minus the points over East Texas A&M. Kudos to the Lions for pulling off the 2nd biggest upset in the last 37 years when they shocked Oklahoma, 68-64, as a 29-point underdog. Only Eastern Illinois' upset of Iowa, as a 31.5-point underdog in 2022 rated more unlikely. But off that upset win, we'll lay the points with Rice, and look for a letdown tonight by the Lions. Indeed, the Lions are 15-23 ATS off a win, including 5-9 ATS off an upset win. And they fall into a negative 73-103 ATS system of mine, based on that upset. Lay the points with the Owls. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Texas-San Antonio/Florida Atlantic game. The Owls' last three games have totaled 80, 100, and 89 points (269 combined), and each has gone over the total. The knee-jerk reaction might be to look for another high-scoring game tonight. But be careful, as NCAA teams whose previous three games combined for more than 255 points have gone 61.7% UNDER the total, including 41-15 UNDER if the O/U line ranged from 69 to 82 points. Take the Roadrunners + Owls UNDER the total. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
