Big Al McMordie Sports Picks & Handicapper Review

At 10 pm, our selection is on the USC Trojans minus the points over California.  The Bears are 0-7 on the season, and start Pac-12 Conference play tonight against USC.  The Trojans have won the last 8 meetings between these rivals, and I expect more of the same tonight -- especially with USC looking to bounce back off its losses to Wisconsin and Tennessee last week.  Take Southern Cal minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers minus the points over Central Arkansas.  Loyola's on a 4-game losing streak after falling at Harvard, 61-55, last Friday.  Meanwhile, the Bears come into this game off an 81-77 win over Idaho St.  Unfortunately, Central Arkansas is a wallet-breaking 0-12-1 ATS after scoring 73+ points, if they were playing an opponent off a loss.  Take Loyola to blow out the Bears.

At 8 pm, our selection is on the North Alabama Lions + the points over Memphis.  The Tigers come into this game off back to back wins.  But they're horrible (5-17-1 ATS) in non-conference games as a big favorite of more than 22 points if they're not off a SU loss.  Take North Alabama + the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Elon Phoenix + the points over High Point.  The Panthers come into this game off wins over Central Michigan and Tennessee State.  And they've been installed as a big favorite vs. Elon.  But the Phoenix are 22-4 ATS as double-digit road dogs vs. foes off back to back wins.  We'll fade the Panthers tonight.  Take Elon + the points.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Dayton Flyers minus the points over Western Michigan.  The Flyers are giving up less than 60 ppg, while Western Michigan is surrendering more than 74.  The Broncos are 15-32-1 ATS on the road when they were playing an opponent whose defensive ppg average was at least 7 points better.  Look for Dayton to hand Western Michigan its 6th straight ATS loss.  Lay the points.

At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over the Los Angeles Clippers.  The Clips won last night over Portland, 118-112.  We'll fade LA in Utah tonight, as the Jazz are 54-31 ATS at home when rested, and not favored by double-digits against an unrested foe off back to back wins.  Take the Jazz minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Hawks minus the points over the Orlando Magic.  The Hawks come into tonight's game off 3 SU/ATS losses.  We'll lay the points tonight, as Orlando is a dismal 8-29 ATS at home vs. foes off 3+ losses.  Take the Hawks.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs + the points over the OKC Thunder.  The Spurs come into this game off an upset loss to the LA Lakers, and have now lost 8 straight games.  We'll grab the points with San Antone, as it's 78-42 ATS off an upset loss, if it was playing a .446 (or worse) opponent also off a SU loss.  Take San Antonio + the points.
