Al McMordie Free Wednesday CBB Pick

At 7 pm, on Wednesday, our complimentary selection is on Morgan State plus the points over Virginia Tech. On the surface, this game doesn't look very attractive to bettors, but there is a super situation in this game that warrants our attention. The Hokies come into the contest off a string of seven consecutive pointspread covers. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on Va Tech here against an over-manned Morgan State squad. But more often than not, knee-jerk reactions are wrong.
Consider that, since 1991, teams on a seven-game ATS win streak are a miserable 8-24 ATS in the post-season vs. foes which are NOT off back-to-back wins, including 0-5 when playing on their home court.

Look for Morgan State to keep this game close. Take the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
