At 7 pm, our selection is on the Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders + the points over Old Dominion. The Blue Raiders have won and covered three straight games. And they fall into several "momentum" systems of mine, with records of 27-2, 22-2 and 46-14 ATS since 1990. Even better: the Blue Raiders are a perfect 8-0 SU/ATS vs. the Monarchs since 2014. Take Middle Tennessee + the points.

At 5:30 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears + the points over Oregon State. We played on California on Wednesday, and got the $$$ when they covered the 16-point spread at Oregon. That was the 2nd straight cover for the Bears, and I look for them to win their 3rd straight "in Vegas" today, as they're once again a double-digit dog. The Beavers, meanwhile, were upset, 83-60, by Stanford, on Thursday. And they have covered just 3 of 12 at home when favored by 13+ points off a loss. Even worse: NCAA favorites of more than 6 points have cashed just 28 of 80 conference games off a 21-point (or worse) upset conference defeat. Take California. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Idaho Vandals + the points over Montana St. The Vandals come into this game off a 100-59 blowout loss, at Montana. And that was their eighth straight defeat (and seventh straight point spread loss). Meanwhile, the Bobcats have won their last two, and covered their last four The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the "hot" Bobcats and against the "cold" Vandals. But underdogs (or PK'em teams) off 3 SU/ATS losses, that gave up 99+ points in their previous game, have cashed 88% over the last 29 years vs. foes off back to back SU/ATS wins. Additionally, the Vandals fall into 135-88 and 403-217 ATS systems of mine that play on certain underdogs off blowout losses. Grab the points with the Vandals. BIG SKY GAME OF THE YEAR!

At 4 pm, our selection is on the William & Mary Tribe + the points over Hofstra. The Tribe lost by 12 points, 72-60, at Northeastern, on Thursday. But they played a much better game earlier this season against this afternoon's opponent, when they lost by just 3 to Hofstra. 93-90. Generally speaking, road teams off double-digit conference losses have done very well over the past 29 years in a regular season's second meeting, if they narrowly lost the first meeting by 3 points or less. And William & Mary is also a strong 33-13-1 ATS when playing with revenge, including 7-0-1 ATS off a loss by 7+ points. Take William & Mary.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Elon Phoenix + the points over Northeastern. Elon was drilled, 102-61, by Hofstra, on Thursday. However, Colonial Athletic Association teams, off a 40-point (or worse) conference defeat, have cashed 80% of conference games since 1990. Likewise, Colonial teams off a conference defeat in which they gave up 90+ points, and failed to cover by 10+ points, have rebounded to go 64-34 ATS in Colonial Athletic Ass'n games. Take Elon.

At 2 pm, our selection is on the Michigan State Spartans minus the points over Minnesota, as Michigan State falls into several of my favorite NCAA systems, including a 71-29 ATS angle, and a 58-18 ATS system. The Spartans had won 13 straight games (and covered nine straight) prior to their game at Purdue, on January 27. We played against Michigan State that afternoon, and easily got the $$$ when Purdue blew out MSU. The Spartans, however, didn't bounce back off that loss, and instead also lost their next two games -- both as double-digit favorites -- vs. Indiana and Illinois. I love the Spartans to bounce back today, as home teams have cashed 67% over the past 29 years off back-to-back losses as double-digit favorites, if they were matched up against an opponent off a SU/ATS loss. Take the Spartans. BIG 10 FAVE OF THE MONTH. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs + the points over Kentucky. The Bulldogs were upset by LSU, 92-88, here in Starkville, on Wednesday. We'll grab the points with Miss State, as it's 19-3-1 ATS as a home underdog (or PK) off a straight-up loss, including 10-0 ATS when getting 4 or more points. Take Mississippi State + the points. PERFECT 10 CLUB PLAY. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
