Handicapper: Big Al McMordie

League: College Basketball

Event: Notre Dame vs Saint Louis on 03-22-2004 at 16:00

Condition: Saint Louis

Grade: Ungraded

Explanation: At 7:00 PM, we have a 3* play on St. Louis + over Notre Dame, in a game that will be played at Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The Billikens beat Iowa 70-69 in the Opening Round of the NIT, but failed to cover the 3-point spread, while Notre Dame outlasted Purdue 71-59. But since January 15, 1998, St. Louis is a perfect 10-0 ATS off a win in which they failed to cover a pointspread of less than 10 points. Take the Billikens. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Extra NBA Pick

Rockets @ T-Blazers; Rockets +7

The Vegas line for this game has already moved from 4 (the overnight line) to 7, making the Rockets big dogs. The concept of "insider information" is absolute nonsense. If you honestly believe that there are Wiseguys who know more about any NBA game than you can, if you do the homework, then you deserve to pay bogus handicapping services thousands of dollars a year. When a line moves like this it is based purely on opinion and speculation, and more often than not it pays to go the other way. Houston played very well against the Kings where poor officiating hurt them, and ultimately cost them the game. Portland have been playing very well, but they are certainly no value to cover a spread of this magnitude. We like to play the percentages, and taking the points and the Rockets is the right play right now!

Tournament Picks

Fantastic March Madness Picks

The second round of the tournament provided some huge upsets, but then if you were reading our expert cappers' picks you would have known about most of them before they happened. Our record in the second-round: 9 Picks - 7 Wins - 2 Losses. On Saturday our ATS winners included Texas Tech (+6.5) and Alabama (+7.5). Yesterday we gave you Pittsburgh (+1.5) as our best bet of the day, as well as Boston College (+6), and Illinois (+1.5). We also really appreciate all the emails we have received thanking us for our weekend efforts.

The Sweet Sixteen teams have been determined, and there are a number of surprise contenders. Before the tournament started we told you to bet Oklahoma State to win @ +900. There is still a long way to go but anyone who saw them dismantle Memphis, a good team in their own right, has to be feeling good about that play. Hey, at least we didn't pick Kentucky, Stanford, Gonzaga, or Mississippi State. Our full previews and picks for the Sweet Sixteen games will be available by Tuesday night. Stay tuned!

NBA Picks

Bulls @ Pacers; Pacers -12

Sunday's NBA Picks were very successful yet again. Our top pick of the day was Detroit to cover at Cleveland, and the Pistons put the Cavs firmly in their place with a 20 point drubbing. Our value pick was to take New Jersey plus the points against the Mavericks, and that was another inspired play that won. Overall our record for the weekend read: 14 Picks - 9 Wins - 5 Losses. No other website offers the volume of picks or the high (+60%) long-term accuracy that we do. Oh, and by the way, we've been giving it all away for free.

Monday's best bet is in the game between Indiana and Chicago, where the Pacers will cover. The Bulls have a pitiful road record. They're 7-27 overall, and the majority of those wins were earlier in the season. They're 2-16 going into this game and they have a tendency to lose by large margins. The last three defeats were by 24, 12, and 33 points respectively. Now they have to face Indiana who have a polar opposite record at home: 26-7. The Pacers have lost 3 of their last 4 and will be ready for this one. That's bad news for the linesmakers. Expect Indiana to cover, and lay the 12 points as your best bet of the day.

NIT Picks

NIT Picks: St Louis @ Notre Dame; Notre Dame -5.5

It takes national tournaments to judge the true merits of regular season performances, and one school whose stock has risen as a result is Notre Dame. We've liked this team all season long, and they were a trifle unlucky not to make it to the Big Dance. They certainly have the ability, and now we know that the Big East was tougher than it may have looked with Pitt, UConn, and Syracuse showing that they are upper-echelon teams. By contrast Conference USA has had its shortcomings exposed, as we suspected it would. Cincinnati, Memphis, De Paul, and Louisville were all beaten badly, and only a miraculous effort from UAB has prevented a Tournament whitewash.

The bottom line is that this line needs to be attacked. A 5.5 point spread is not enough distance between a very good team and a very average one, and we think the Fighting Irish will cover it with ease.

NIT Value Pick

NIT Picks: Oklahoma @ Michigan; Oklahoma +4

If you didn't know how good the Big 12 Conference was before March Madness started chances are you do now. And all that talk about how below-average the Big 10 was turned out to be fact. The Sooners are underdogs for this game, but they look like great value to us when you consider how undervalued their 8-8 conference record is. Michigan's 8-8 Big 10 record was mediocre at best, and even though they managed to defeat Missouri in the first round by a single point, they will struggle to deal with Oklahoma and their chances of winning ATS seem slim. We'll take the points and the underdog victory here.
