Handicapper Big Al McMordie Free Sports Picks

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins minus the points over Indiana.  Both of these teams are 11-1 at home this season, but own a losing record away from home.  Unfortunately for Indiana, this game is being play in College Park, MD.  The Hoosiers have failed to cover the spread by an average of 5.50 ppg away from home this season.  In contrast, they're covering the spread by 5.25 ppg at home, in Bloomington.  Take Maryland minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers + the points over Illinois.  The Illini routed Nebraska, 76-50, in Lincoln, three weeks ago.  We'll take the underdog 'Huskers tonight, as Big 10 teams have gone 142-91-7 ATS off a point spread defeat when playing with revenge from a 14-point (or worse) loss earlier in the season.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Marist Red Foxes + the points over Quinnipiac.  The Red Foxes were blown out, 70-55, by Siena, on Saturday.  But we'll look for Marist to bounce back tonight, as it's 17-3 ATS on the road off a double-digit loss when playing a foe also off a loss.  Take Marist.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Colorado State Rams minus the points over UNLV.  The Rams return home tonight off an 0-2 road trip, as they lost at Wyoming (58-57) and at Boise State (80-59).  We'll lay the points with the Rams, as they're 41-23-2 ATS as a home favorite off back to back road games, including 9-1 ATS their last 10 when they were also off back to back losses.  Take Colorado State minus the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 8 pm, our selection is on the Kansas Jayhawks minus the points over Kansas State.  Earlier this season, the Wildcats upset Kansas, 83-82, in Manhattan.  We'll lay the points with Bill Self's men, as Kansas is 18-4 ATS when playing with revenge from an upset loss earlier in the season, including 5-0 SU/ATS when matched-up against a .790 (or better) opponent.  And, since 1990, it's a perfect 4-0 ATS when playing with revenge against its rival, Kansas State, after the Wildcats defeated it earlier in the season.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 10 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Pelicans + the points over Denver.  The Pelicans lost, 99-98, at home to Denver a week ago.  We'll take New Orleans to avenge that defeat, as it's 88-52-3 ATS on the road off a loss, if it was also playing with revenge from a home defeat earlier in the season.  Take the Pelicans + the points.  Good luck as always...Al McMordie.
