01-21-18 | Canisius v. Iona -5 | 84-82 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #826 Iona -5 over Canisius (1p.m., Sunday January 21 ESPN 3) The two best teams in the MAAC are set to do battle on Sunday. We will side with the traditional power as Iona got a great victory on Friday and has a ton of momentum entering this battle of 6-1 teams. The home team has covered 4 straight in this series. Canisius is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Clippers v. Jazz -1.5 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
The Clippers have won six straight but only a couple of those wins were of the quality variety and we think this team’s bubble will burst eventually. And we think that will be the case tonight. The Jazz are coming in on a back-to-back after losing to the Knicks at home last night. But this team is young and they are 7-2 ATS in back-to-backs this season so we think that they will be fine here. Utah has Rudy Gobert back and he is their best player and this team was not the same without him. But they have covered in six of the last nine meetings in this series and we like the home team laying the small number here tonight. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Raptors v. Wolves -3 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
The Raptors come in having won two straight while the Wolves have dropped two consecutive games. That means we are getting a nice line here tonight with the home team. We had this line handicapped at 5.5 so there is value here. Minnesota has covered in three of the last four meetings and we think this squad matches up well with the Raptors. Toronto has covered in only two of their last seven games so the oddsmakers obviously have this team a tad overrated right now. We think that the Wolves get back on the winning track in a big way tonight. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Evansville v. Bradley -4.5 | 53-66 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take 662 Bradley over Evansville (8p.m., Saturday January 20 ESPN 3) Bradley has started to show some life under Brian Wardle for the first time in close to a decade. This team has a chance in a wide-open conference now that Wichita State is no longer in the league. The Braves have lost two straight road games but have beaten Northern Iowa, Valparaiso, and Southern Illinois at home. I believe all three of those teams are better than Evansville. Bradley is 21-4 ATS in their last 27 home games. Home team has covered 4 of the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | San Diego State -3.5 v. New Mexico | 75-79 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #639 San Diego State over New Mexico (7p.m., Saturday January 20 CBSSN) Still believe that New Mexico is terrible, and San Diego State has underachieved thus far. New Mexico has won three of their last four games, but I just do not take them seriously. San Diego State still has a lot of talent and sooner or later they will put it together and make some noise in the MWC. The road teams is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 meetings. The favorite is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Thunder +3 v. Cavs | 148-124 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Cleveland is dead last in the NBA in ATS rankings and once again they are being lined as if they are playing well. They aren’t. They are playing their worst basketball of the season right now and we had this game lined as a ‘pick’em’ so there is value here with the points. Cleveland has covered only one of their last 13 games. They barely squeaked by Orlando last time out in a game where oddsmakers expected a blowout. The bookies have it wrong with this team and we will continue to take advantage of bad lines. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Penn State v. Northwestern -1.5 | 61-70 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #556 Northwestern over Penn State (2p.m., Saturday January 20 BTN) Homecourt in the Big 10 is still a major factor when handicapping games and expect the Wildcats get back on track. Northwestern has lost just one conference home game this season and Penn State has played a home heavy schedule thus far. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings between Penn State and Northwestern. This is the second meeting of the season and expect Northwestern to extract some revenge. |
|||||||
01-20-18 | Ohio v. Eastern Michigan -5.5 | 72-66 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #544 Eastern Michigan over Ohio (2p.m., Saturday January 20 ESPN 3) Ohio has been struggling in conference play and I do not see things getting any better today in Ypsilanti. The Bobcats lost by 34 points at home last time out and that is just not something you can come back from in 4 days. The Eagles have won two of their last three games and are always a tough team to beat at home. The home team is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Eastern Michigan is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Knicks +6 v. Jazz | 117-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
The Knicks have a better record than Utah yet they are getting this many points? We’ll bite. The Jazz should not be laying this many points to any team right now as they have been bad for the last month+. You can’t find a much stronger trend of domination in head-to-head matchups in the NBA as the Knicks are 22-4 ATS in the last 26 meetings between these teams. And since they play only twice a year, that trend stretches back for many years. We think the story will be the same tonight as we think this will be a close, hard-fought game. This one has a pretty low total and points could be hard to come by for both teams, and that makes the points with the underdog all the more valuable. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Pacers -2 v. Lakers | 86-99 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
The Pacers are coming in on a back-to-back after a poor showing in Portland last night but they have a much better chance tonight against a banged-up LA Lakers squad. The Lakers have not won this season with rookie Lonzo Ball out of the lineup and that will be the case this evening. This team is already thin but with some key players likely missing this game that puts them in a real bad position tonight. The Pacers have won three of four despite the loss last night and we expect them to get back on the winning track tonight. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Illinois v. Wisconsin -4 | 50-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #824 Wisconsin over Illinois (9p.m., Friday January 19 FS1) Wisconsin has lost three straight road games and they are in desperate need for a victory tonight at the Kohl Center. The Illini are 0-6 in the Big 10 and are in a complete rebuild this season under a new coach. Home court means everything in the Big 10 and Wisconsin should feel more confident and be able to shoot better. The favorite is 19-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 27 meetings between Illinois and Wisconsin. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Wizards +1 v. Pistons | 122-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
The Pistons were the feel-good story of the early NBA season but this team has come back to Earth and they are now just a game above .500 on the season. They have lost three straight entering this matchup. The Wizards have lost two straight, but we think this is the much better overall team and we thought they should be favored by around 3 in this game. We like to back a good team after an embarrassing loss and that is the case for the Wizards here as they were blown out in Charlotte last time out and we think they put in a much better effort here. They have won and covered in four of the last five meetings in this series. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Heat v. Nets +3 | 95-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
The Nets are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season and they are getting healthy with D’Angelo Russell expected to return to the lineup tonight. They have lost six of seven against a very tough schedule and they will go all out to win this game tonight. The Heat have been playing extremely well. This team has been playing over its head, in our opinion, and they will come back to earth tonight. The Nets are 8-4 ATS at home against teams with a winning record and we might throw a few bucks on the moneyline here as well as we think the home team could very well win this one. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Spurs +6.5 v. Raptors | 83-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
When the Spurs are getting this many points you have to pay attention. San Antonio has been lousy on the road for the most part but we think they are getting too many points tonight. There is no reason to think that this won’t be a close game. San Antonio has won four straight in this series and they have covered in seven of the last 10 meetings. Toronto has lost two of three so they aren’t in top form right now and we expect a hard-fought game on both sides tonight and we don’t see the Spurs getting run out of the building. |
|||||||
01-19-18 | Iona -2 v. Monmouth | 76-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #827 Iona over Monmouth (7p.m., Friday January 19 ESPN 3) The Hawks are usually one of the top teams in the MAAC but that is not the case this season. Leading scorer Micah Seaborn has not played much of late and he is listed as doubtful for this game. Iona sits atop the standing at 5-1 and will enter this game having won 4 straight games. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these schools. Monmouth is also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-18-18 | Pacers +4 v. Blazers | Top | 86-100 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
Portland’s defense has pretty much fallen apart and they have allowed 106+ in eight of their last nine games. During that stretch their games have gone over eight times. They have allowed 119 or more in three of their last four games. Of course the Blazers have lost three of four because you aren’t going to win a lot of games giving up that many points. We think the Pacers will put up a big number on offense tonight and we think that they have a great chance to win this game straight out. They are playing a more complete game right now and they have quietly won three straight and five of their last six. |
|||||||
01-18-18 | Wolves v. Rockets -4.5 | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Both teams are coming off a bad loss and will want to get back on track here. Houston is the better team, however, and even without James Harden they should be able to win this one comfortably. Minnesota lost last time out in Orlando and that is a much worse loss than the Rockets loss to the surging Clippers. Houston has had one more night off than the Magic to put that game behind them and we think they come out strong in this marquee matchup on Thursday. Remember, Minnesota is a mediocre 11-11 on the road this season. |
|||||||
01-18-18 | USC v. Oregon -3.5 | 75-70 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #558 Oregon over USC (9p.m., Thursday January 18 ESPN 2) Oregon put forth a good effort playing the Arizona schools last week in the desert. They covered both games and beat Arizona State. They have a solid system and a great coach and that is more than USC offers. The Trojans may have more talent in this game but they have seldom played up to their ability this season. Oregon is 38-17 ATS in their last 55 PAC-12 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-18-18 | Coastal Carolina v. South Alabama +2 | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #544 South Alabama over Coastal Carolina (8:05p.m., Thursday January 18) This number is low considering how bad Coastal Carolina is. The Chanticleers have lost five straight games with the last 4 coming by double digits. USA is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Coastal Carolina is also 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. |
|||||||
01-18-18 | Northeastern v. William & Mary -1.5 | 90-70 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #510 William & Mary over Northeastern (7p.m. Thursday January 18) A battle of top teams in the CAA takes place tonight in Williamsburg, VA. Bill and Mary have won 5 of their last 6 games and will look to put the bad taste out of their month losing to Towson last time out. Northeastern is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. William & Mary is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Nuggets +2.5 v. Clippers | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
This is a fade of the Clippers more than anything. They played their biggest game of the season on Monday as the Rockets and former teammate Chris Paul came to town and to say there were fireworks in that game would be an understatement. There were scuffles, skirmishes, a war of words, a Blake Griffin ejection and a visit to the Clippers lockeroom by Rockets players looking for a fight. The Clippers won that one and they have now won five straight. However, two of those wins were against the Kings and one against Atlanta, so there weren’t a lot of quality wins there, and the Rockets and Warriors had off nights when they played them. Even though the Nuggets are on a back-to-back here we think the big distractions that came from the Clippers last game will wear on them here. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Jazz -4.5 v. Kings | 120-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
The Kings have lost eight of nine and this team is just not playing well right now. Utah has been very lousy on the road but if this team wants to make a playoff push they need to start winning games like this, and we think they are the much better team in this matchup tonight. Utah has had an incredibly tough schedule lately littered with playoff-type teams and we think they will take advantage of this weak opponent to try and turn things around. They have a couple winnable home games coming up and this could be the start of an upswing for the Jazz. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | St. John's v. Xavier -11.5 | 82-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #762 Xavier over St. Johns (8:30p.m., Wednesday January 17 CBSSN) St Johns has taken a major step backwards under Chris Mullen this season. They are 0-6 in Big East play and that includes losing three straight home games. Xavier is one of the top teams in the country and can score points from every position on the court. They regrouped from a two-game losing streak to pound Creighton by 22 points last time out. St John is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Xavier is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games. Both trends hold true tonight as we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Heat v. Bucks -4 | Top | 106-101 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Revenge is one of the more overrated handicapping aspects of the NBA, in our opinion, but we do think it comes into play when the teams have recently met and that is the case tonight as these teams played on Sunday and the Bucks got blown out in South Beach. That was an 18-point win for the Heat, which was no doubt embarrassing for a Bucks team that is supposed to be a force in the East this season. Milwaukee is a much better team at home and they caught the Heat during a surge in performance but now that Miami’s long winning streak ended in Chicago we expect more road woes for the visitors tonight. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Spurs v. Nets +7 | 100-95 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Brooklyn is the No. 2 ATS team in the league so you always have to look at them when getting points at home. And that is the case tonight as the Spurs come to town. San Antonio is not a good road team this season at 10-14 on the year, yet the bookies keep posting big chalk lines in their road games since they know the public will bet on them, especially against a lousy team like Brooklyn. However, the Nets play hard nearly every night. They are 8-3 ATS at home against winning teams and this squad normally gets hyped to play the best of the best when they come to town. |
|||||||
01-17-18 | Wizards v. Hornets -1 | Top | 109-133 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Wizards just completed a five-game homestand and they didn’t look very good in going 2-3 with their wins over Brooklyn (in OT) and Orlando. They have failed to cover the spread in any of their last six games. The Hornets are in better form right now with covers in four of their last six, and they are coming off an impressive blowout win in Detroit on Monday. Charlotte has won and covered the last two meetings at home in this series and we think they are a bit undervalued tonight. |
|||||||
01-16-18 | Mavs v. Nuggets -6 | 102-105 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Denver has slipped a bit at home lately but this team is still 15-5 at home this season and this is still one of the better home teams in the NBA with a great built-in home-court advantage. The Mavs have covered in only two of their last seven visits here and we like that this spread comes in under the key NBA number of 7 for the home squad. The last game for the Nuggets didn’t turn out well as they lost by 30+ in San Antonio. But we like to back a playoff-type team like Denver after a bad loss like that as they will want to put that game in the rearview mirror, and there isn’t a better way to do that than to beat up on a weak team at home where they have played so well this season. |
|||||||
01-16-18 | Wolves v. Magic +8.5 | Top | 102-108 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
The Timberwolves have won five straight but all those games were at home and they were against mostly teams that are struggling right now. This is the first road game in what will be seven of nine on the road. Minnesota is just 11-10 on the road this season so they are pretty average away from home. Orlando is not a very good team but this team has dealt with a lot of injuries this season and this team is finally getting more healthy. They have covered in three of the last four meetings, including one this season where they played the Wolves real tough in Minnesota. They lost that game by only six. Orlando has covered three of four overall and this team, now healthy, is being underestimated by the oddsmakers. They have had a real tough schedule lately so they aren’t going to be intimidated by the Wolves here at home. Orlando has covered in eight of the last 10 meetings and we think this is too many points tonight as we expect a close game. |
|||||||
01-16-18 | Akron v. Eastern Michigan -7 | 49-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #516 Eastern Michigan over Akron (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 ESPN 3) The Eagles are in desperate need of a victory as they have started off the season poorly at 1-3 in MAC play. Akron should provide the recipe to get back on track as they are in a complete rebuild mode. When Akron loses they tend to get blown out and that should be the case again on Tuesday. The Zips are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. |
|||||||
01-16-18 | Wisconsin +14.5 v. Purdue | 50-78 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #521 Wisconsin over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 ESPN) Sooner or later Wisconsin is going to cover a spread. This is a lot of points to be giving for a conference match-up and the line has been coming down since it come out Monday afternoon. Wisconsin is bad, but I feel they can keep this game around 9-11 deficit and thus cover the spread. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played on Tuesday. They have the size to match-up down low with Purdue and that should prevent them from being blown out. |
|||||||
01-16-18 | Vanderbilt v. Mississippi State -4 | 62-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #532 Mississippi State over Vanderbilt (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 SECN) The Bulldogs appear to have taken a step backwards under Ben Howland this season and they need this home win tonight against Vanderbilt. The Commodores will also enter this game having lost three straight games and I do not see them breaking that losing streak on the road. Vanderbilt is 1-15 ATS in their last 16 games. Mississippi State is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-15-18 | Kansas +6.5 v. West Virginia | 71-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #747 Kansas over West Virginia (9p.m., Monday January 15 ESPN) It is not often you find a spread this big against Kansas. Despite losing some home game this season they Jayhawks will be a tough out in conference play and I am not ready to bet against them to win the Big 12. Kansas is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. If Kansas can weather the storm early they should be able to take this game down to the wire and thus we will collect with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
01-15-18 | Oklahoma State v. Baylor -5 | 60-76 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #746 Baylor over Oklahoma State (9p.m., Monday January 15 ESPN U) The Cowboys pulled out a miraculous victory against Texas at home on Saturday in a game they trailed for nearly all 40 minutes. Playing on the road is different in conference play and I expect them to lose this game by double digits. The Bears are desperate for any win they can get currently at 1-4 in Big 12 play and cannot afford to look past any of the lesser teams in the league. Oklahoma State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Big 12 games. |
|||||||
01-15-18 | Kings v. Thunder -11.5 | Top | 88-95 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Sacramento Kings have been in a freefall lately and this team looks to be in full tank mode right now. They have lost their last four games by an average of 12 points and they didn’t even put up a fight last time out in a 21-point loss at the LA Clippers in a game where they did not play any defense. The results for the Thunder haven’t been great lately. They have been on the road a lot lately and they have played some tough opponents. This team hasn’t had a stretch yet this season where they played consistently good basketball. But after losing three of their last four this is a “get right” game for them and we have no doubt that they will take advantage of this lesser opponent to get back on track. OKC has been good at blowing out bad teams this season and they are 3-1 ATS when laying 11 or more points. Sacramento won the first meeting this season but we don’t think the Thunder will let that happen again and we think this one will be blowout city tonight. |
|||||||
01-15-18 | Bucknell -4 v. Colgate | 63-51 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #755 Bucknell over Colgate (7p.m., Monday January 15 CBSSN) The Bison are one of the top teams in the Patriot League this season and they look to move to 5-1 in conference play tonight. Bucknell is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Colgate is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Monday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-14-18 | Pacers v. Suns +4 | Top | 120-97 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
The Pacers are not a very good road team and they have not played well in this series. Indiana is just 2-11 ATS in the last 13 meetings and they are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in the desert. The Suns have been playing well lately at home and this is an underrated bunch that is lacking in talent but they tend to play hard on most nights and we think they have a very good chance for the straight up win here tonight. |
|||||||
01-14-18 | Ohio State v. Rutgers +7 | 68-46 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #822 Rutgers over Ohio State (7p.m., Sunday January 14 BTN) I believe Ohio State is playing over their heads and they are not good enough to be giving this many points on the road. Only 1 of the Scarlet Knights four conference losses have come over the posted number for today’s game. Rutgers took Michigan State to the wire this week and I expect this game to be close throughout the entire 40 minutes. Ohio State is 13-30 ATS (1 push) in their 44 road games. Rutgers is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. |
|||||||
01-14-18 | Saints v. Vikings -4 | Top | 24-29 | Win | 100 | 121 h 28 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308 Minnesota Vikings over New Orleans (4:40p.m., Sunday January 14 FOX) The Vikings will complete the season sweep of the Saints on Sunday. The Vikings have won 10 of their last 11 games and already beat the Saints by double digits. Despite the Saints being much improved on defense they are still at a major disadvantage in this game with an advantage of all three components of the defense (line, linebackers, and secondary). QB Brees will have to play outstanding for New Orleans to be competitive in this game and I do not see that happening. His receivers made remarkable catches last week against Carolina and I just do not believe that they can do that for a second consecutive week. New Orleans has not been playing that well of late going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Minnesota is 34-16 ATS (1 push) in their last 41 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-13-18 | Montana State -1 v. CS Sacramento | 68-87 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #715 Montana State -1 over Sacramento State (10:05p.m., Saturday January 13) the Bobcats played one of their worst games of the season last time out and expect them to get back on track tonight in Sacramento. This team has still won four of their last five games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings between Montana State and Sacramento State. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-13-18 | San Diego State v. Boise State -3 | 80-83 | Push | 0 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #668 Take Boise State -3 over San Diego State (10p.m., Saturday January 13 ESPN 2) The Aztecs have some bad losses on the season and I feel Boise State is the clear cut second best team in the league. The Broncos are undefeated at home this season and all 4 of their conference wins this season have been convincing. Boise State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. |
|||||||
01-13-18 | Titans v. Patriots -13 | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 101 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #304 New England Patriots over Tennessee Titans (8:15p.m., Saturday January 13 CBS) Tennessee is nowhere on the same level as New England. The Patriots had a week to rest up and they are also wanting to make a statement to the media that they are a united bunch. New England is 11-2 over the past 3 years when they are a double-digit favorite. I just do not believe Tennessee has the weapons to exploit a suspect New England defense. The Patriots are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 playoff games. The Titans are 9-20 ATS in their last 29 road games. |
|||||||
01-13-18 | Texas v. Oklahoma State -1.5 | Top | 64-65 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #604 Take Oklahoma State -1.5 over Texas (5p.m., Saturday January 13 ESPNN) The Cowboys need all the wins that they can get in the Big 12 and they should be able beat Texas at home. The Pokes are averaging over 81 points per game and I just do not believe Texas will be able to keep up with this in this game. Texas is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. Oklahoma State is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. |

01-13-18 | Falcons v. Eagles +3 | Top | 10-15 | Win | 100 | 97 h 15 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #302 Philadelphia Eagles over Atlanta Falcons (4:35p.m., Saturday January 13 NBC) Everyone is on the Atlanta Falcons bandwagon and off the Philadelphia Eagles. A No. 1 seed has never been an underdog in the divisional round but that is the case on Saturday. The Eagles still have a ton of talent around the quarterback position and they will be able to play the no respect card in a big way on Saturday. Atlanta had the benefit of playing in a warm weather city last week but that will not be the case in Philadelphia this Saturday. QB Ryan has not played up to his MVP standards of a year ago and I still have no confidence in their offensive coordinator. The Eagles have a top ranked defense against the run and that should make Atlanta one-dimensional. The Falcons are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 playoff games. Philadelphia is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. |

01-13-18 | Syracuse v. Florida State -4.5 | 90-101 | Win | 100 | 3 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #550 Florida State -4.5 over Syracuse (2p.m., Saturday January 13 ACCN) Syracuse is not very good this season and they will have trouble wining any game on the road. Despite covering the spread they were never really in the game against Virginia and will enter this game having lost three straight. This is also their third road game in their last 4 games overall. The Seminoles are coming off a bad loss to Louisville at home and need to get back on track and they will win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
01-12-18 | Rockets v. Suns +7 | 112-95 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
This Rockets team is just not the same club without James Harden and even though they have played well without him they will have some bumps in the road along the way to his return, and this is a game where they could have some problems tonight. This game is sandwiched between some more important games. The Suns don’t have a lot of talent but this team plays hard and they can score on offense so we think they can match up well with the Rockets tonight in what should be a high-scoring matchup. The Suns are coming in off a long rest and they don’t play Saturday so there is no reason they won’t leave it all on the floor tonight. |
|||||||
01-12-18 | Nets +3.5 v. Hawks | Top | 110-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Brooklyn has lost three straight but those were all against top teams in the east. But there is no way they should be getting this many points at the Hawks, one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. The Nets don’t have too much of a better record but make no mistake this team is on a higher tier than the Hawks and a much better team. They have covered in six of their last seven games and they are the No. 2 ATS team in the NBA this season. That means this is a bad team that has some talent and plays hard on a nightly basis. They won by 20 on this same floor the last time these teams met and they have covered in five of the last six meetings. |
|||||||
01-12-18 | Cavs v. Pacers +2.5 | 95-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Amazing. The Cavs are by far the worst ATS team in the NBA and they are once again facing an inflated line tonight against a Pacers team that is very strong at home. Not only that but Cleveland is coming in on a back-to-back and on the road no less for both games. This is the last game of a long road trip and they face Golden State at home next time out, so things might get worse before they get better. We are being conservative with the units on this one since Cleveland might have hit rock bottom last night and could give an inspired effort here. But even if that happens this should be a very competitive game and Indiana should come out on top regardless. The Pacers have covered in five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | Spurs v. Lakers +3 | Top | 81-93 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show |
The Lakers are completely healthy and they have been playing well. San Antonio is really banged up and will be without a handful of key players tonight, hence the small line here. The Spurs have not played well on the road this season at 10-12 and that is just two more wins than the Lakers have at home and Los Angeles has been underachieving for much of the season. They have won two straight, however, in very impressive fashion and this would be a marquee win for the ballclub and they will give it their all tonight since the Spurs are in a weakened state. We think the Lakers are playing hard right now for their coach after the controversy with the Ball family. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | Oregon v. Arizona State -7 | 76-72 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #563 Arizona State over Oregon (10p.m., Thursday January 11) The Sun Devils have played three straight road games to open conference play. They are ready for some home cooking and will win this game by double digits. Oregon is nowhere near the same team that made the Final Four last season. Arizona State needs an easy game and it will come tonight. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | Clippers v. Kings +1.5 | 121-115 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
The Clippers gave everything they had last night in their shocking upset of the Warriors in Oakland. This is not only a back-to-back but their third game in four nights. This team has to be running on fumes right now, and on our line we had the Kings favored by a couple points. The Clippers are already thin in the rotation and with the fatigue factor this doesn’t set up well for the road team tonight. The Clippers have won ten straight in Sacramento but the Kings have a real good chance to break that streak tonight and we think that they put forth their best effort. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | San Diego +1 v. Pacific | 70-74 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #559 Take San Diego over Pacific (10p.m., Thursday January 11) I believe that the Toreros are the third best team in the WCC this season. They enter this game having won 7 of their last 9 games. The Tigers have lost 6 of their last 8 games including an 18 point loss to Saint Mary’s. San Diego lost by just 7 points to that same team. Pacific is 6-20 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 28 games following a victory in their previous game. San Diego is 21-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 30 road games. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | James Madison v. William & Mary -8 | 82-89 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #526 William & Mary over James Madison (7p.m., Thursday January 11) No bet against James Madison is a bad bet at this point of the season. The Dukes have lost five straight games and they will struggle to win any conference game this season. William & Mary sits atop the CAA standing and they will win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
01-11-18 | Celtics v. 76ers +3 | 114-103 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
This game is in London. Both teams are playing very well right now. Both teams are well rested. With the international travel involved here we think that favors the underdog in what we think is a pretty even matchup with both teams healthy. Boston has won and covered both meetings this season but the Sixers have covered in four of the last six and we think that this game is a coin flip and that you have to take the points in that situation. Both teams will be playing hard and Philly won’t want to lose three in a row to one of the best teams in the East. |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Wyoming +3 v. New Mexico | 66-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #773 Wyoming over New Mexico (9p.m., Wednesday January 10) New Mexico is just in a complete rebuilding mode and nowhere in the same class as Wyoming is at this point of the season. The Lobos are 2-2 in the conference, but those two wins have come against San Jose State and Air Force, the two worst teams in the league. They can get up occasionally, but they cannot consistently play with the best teams in the MWC. Wyoming has played a brutal schedule thus far in MWC play and they are 2-1 with their only loss coming at Nevada, the best team in the league. Playing at the Pit is not what it once was. Wyoming is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 conference games. New Mexico is 5-15 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Magic +10.5 v. Bucks | 103-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
The Magic are getting healthy and we think they will have the offensive chops to keep this game competitive tonight and to push this one over the posted number. The Magic have traditionally done well as a double-digit dog and after a bad loss last time out in Dallas we think that they will play much better tonight. They have a strong history against Milwaukee as they have covered in 15 of the last 22 meetings. We think this one will be a shootout but we see the Magic hanging with the Bucks offensively all night and we think this will be a close, high-scoring game. |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Pelicans v. Grizzlies +1.5 | 102-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
We like the home dog here. Anthony Davis is doubtful for this game tonight for the Pelicans and we think that Memphis should be a slight favorite here. The Grizzlies have had a very tough schedule lately but they have covered three of their last four games and despite a poor record this team is playing hard on a nightly basis. They already beat the Pelicans once in this same building at the start of the season and they have covered in five of the last seven meetings in Memphis. Take the home dog tonight. |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Heat v. Pacers -5 | 114-106 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Going to ride the Pacers in this one as they have regained their home-court edge with blowout wins in their last two games here at home. Miami has put together a nice run lately but this squad is playing in a road back-to-back tonight and this will be their third game in four nights. And after a hard-fought win in Toronto last night we think this is a bad spot for them and this looks like a game where they could possibly take the night off. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Indiana and we think that this game has a great chance for a double-digit win by the home squad. |
|||||||
01-10-18 | Mavs v. Hornets -7 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
We have been very impressed with the play of the Hornets lately, and after a slow start to the season they seem to be peaking right now. They have won three of four, all on the road and by double digits, including that big win over the Warriors in the Bay Area. This team has always had the talent, and now they are putting it together. Usually the game after a road trip can be treacherous for the home club but Charlotte has had four nights off and that is crucial rest at this point of the season. Dallas is coming off a homestand where they lost three of four and they aren’t playing with the same intensity we have seen from this team at some points in the season. Dallas is 4-12 ATS this season against sub-.500 teams and we think they are in for a rough outing tonight. |
|||||||
01-09-18 | Boise State +4 v. Fresno State | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #561 Boise State over Fresno State (11p.m., Tuesday January 9 ESPN U) I just believe Boise State is the second-best team in the MWC this season. The Broncos are coming off a bad loss against Wyoming in which they blew a double-digit lead in that game to lose by one point. Fresno State is always a tough out at home, but they lost a lot of firepower from last year. Boise State already has a win at UNLV and they do not have a bad loss this season. The Bulldogs have yet to earn a quality win on the season and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. The Broncos are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-09-18 | Wisconsin +1.5 v. Nebraska | 59-63 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #547 Wisconsin over Nebraska (8:30p.m., Tuesday January 9 Big 10 Network) We will follow the line movement in this game. Wisconsin did not get anything from Ethan Happ on Friday and thus they suffered a loss at Rutgers. They will need more from him tonight, but it should be easier to face Nebraska, as they do not pressure the ball like Rutgers does. Tim Miles is all but fired come March and I just do not believe Nebraska will have much success in the Big 10. Wisconsin is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games played on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-08-18 | Alabama -4.5 v. Georgia | 26-23 | Loss | -102 | 151 h 54 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #151 Take Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (8:45p.m., Monday January 8 ESPN) Just cannot put my hard-earned money going against Nick Saban and Alabama. We rode them against Clemson and that game was never really in doubt. Alabama is the gold standard in college football and to beat them you need a quarterback that can stretch the field vertically. Georgia does not have that, and I believe they are just a poor man’s version of what Alabama is. Nick Saban does not lose games against former assistants and I just do not believe Georgia will be able to run the football between the tackles. Alabama is not strong on offense either, but they play a style that does not put much pressure on QB Hurst and as along as they take care of the football they will win this game by double-digits. Alabama is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. |
|||||||
01-08-18 | Cavs v. Wolves | Top | 99-127 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
Cleveland has dropped five of eight and they just aren’t playing well right now. However, the books keep lining them as if they were winning. This is normally one of the best teams in the NBA to fade and now they are 12-26-1 ATS this season so they are even better than normal as this team is just not as good as previous squads and this team normally performs at 75% effort during the regular season to save their energy for the playoffs. The Wolves have been really strong at home lately and this team is finally getting it together after years of potential and this team is playing very well right now. The Wolves are 14-6 at home this season while the Cavs have been poor on the road and we expect a strong showing from the home club tonight. |
|||||||
01-08-18 | Pistons v. Pelicans -5.5 | 109-112 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Pistons have just been horrible on the road lately and they have lost four straight away from home. Two of those losses were to Orlando and Dallas, both by double digits, and they face much tougher competition than those clubs tonight. New Orleans has been inconsistent but this squad has covered in eight of the last 10 meetings and this is a club they traditionally play well against. The Pistons have some key players banged up tonight and we feel that their road woes continue here with a comfortable win by the Pelicans. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Hawks +3.5 v. Lakers | Top | 113-132 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
The Lakers have lost nine straight games and this team is dealing with a lot of inner turmoil right now and we just don’t think that they should be favored by this many points against any team right now. This team is 1-6 ATS at home against sub-.500 teams and this is about as shaky of a favorite as you can get in the NBA betting market. Atlanta has won three of six, including wins over Portland and Washington, and they are in better form right now. This game seems like a coin flip to us so we have to take the underdog that is getting so many points. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Panthers +6.5 v. Saints | 26-31 | Win | 100 | 123 h 15 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #107 Carolina Panthers over New Orleans Saints (4:30p.m., Sunday January 7 FOX) Nothing came easy in the NFC South this season and I do not see a blowout with two teams that are very familiar with one another. One of the hardest things to do in sports in beat a team three times in one season and that is what the Saints are trying to do. Carolina is 8-1 this season in games decided by 8 points or fewer and will enter this game having won 3 of their last 4. I do not believe they were going all out to win last Sunday and that will certainly not be the case today since this is an elimination game. The Saints have not been as explosive on offense during the month of December and for them to cover this spread, QB Drees will have to put up 24+ points. New Orleans is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Carolina is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Canisius -4 v. Siena | 62-65 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #853 Canisius over Siena (3p.m., Sunday January 7 ESPN 3) The Saints are terrible and anytime you get a number this low you have to press against them. This team has lost two straight home games and they are the only winless team in the MAAC. Canisius is the only undefeated team in the MAAC and they are clearly one of the top teams in the league. They have gotten out of their nonconference funk and will enter this bus trip having won five straight games. Siena is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games. Jimmy Patsos is clearly on the hot seat and things will not get any better for his squad this afternoon. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-07-18 | Wright State v. Oakland -8 | 86-81 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #830 Oakland over Wright State (3p.m., Sunday January 7 ESPN 3) It is not often you find a 1-2 team favored by this much over a 3-0 team in conference play but that is the situation on Sunday. Oakland is desperate for a victory and I expect them to get this game by double digits. Wright State is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record. Oakland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Horizon League games. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Duke -12.5 v. NC State | 85-96 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #541 Duke over NC State (8p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN) NC State has been blown out twice in conference play to open the 2017-2018 ACC season. They will have some fight early in this game but will fade in the second half. Duke already suffered a loss at Boston College and thus they cannot afford to take this game lightly. When Duke win it tends to come big and that will be the case again tonight. Duke is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 road games. NC State is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Falcons v. Rams -6 | 26-13 | Loss | -120 | 103 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #104 Los Angeles Rams over Atlanta Falcons (8:15p.m., Saturday January 6 NBC) The Rams are back and should have no problem taking down the defending NFC Champions. Atlanta just was not the same team all season long and I believe Los Angeles has better personal on both sides of the football. QB Ryan has not thrown multiple touchdown passes in his last six games. The Rams have not had much of a home field advantage for most of the season but that will change for this game. People in LA love events and hosting their first playoff game in over two decades will bring out the masses. Atlanta is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 playoff games. Los Angeles is 8-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | SE Missouri State v. Austin Peay -6 | 71-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #694 Take Austin Peay over SE Missouri State (8p.m., Saturday January 6) The Governors have won three straight OVC games to open conference play and expect them to win this game by double digits at home. The Redhawks have lost 5 of their last 6 games and they have no been competitive in those losses. Austin Peay is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

01-06-18 | Green Bay +1.5 v. Youngstown State | 74-85 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #623 Green Bay over Youngstown State (7p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN 3) The Penguins are playing over their head at the moment having won both of their conference games but they are about to come back down to reality. Green Bay took Cleveland State to the wire and expect them to finish the task on Saturday and pull out the victory. Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on Saturday. Youngstown State is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Arkansas v. Auburn -5 | 77-88 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #614 Take Auburn over Arkansas (6p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN U) Arkansas is just a different team on the road and they pressure is just does not have the same effect. Auburn has quietly become one of the top teams in the SEC at 13-1 and they have not had that many competitive games in those victories. The Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Tide is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 SEC games. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Mercer v. Furman -3.5 | 71-74 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #682 Take Furman over Mercer (4:30p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN 3) Mercer is just not the traditional power in conference play this season. They enter this game having lost 5 of their last 7 games and will lose this game by 6-8 points tonight. Since December Furman has lost just 1 game. |
|||||||
01-06-18 | Warriors v. Clippers +9 | Top | 121-105 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
The Clippers have been playing well lately and we think they are getting too many points here in the Saturday matinee. Golden State has absolutely dominated this series but now that Chris Paul is gone we don’t think the Warriors have that same burning desire to embarrass the Clippers and this is just another game for them. They are coming off a game against Paul and Houston and that is the game that was more important to them and we feel this is a letdown spot. That was the first in four games Golden State covered and they needed a 7-0 run to finish the game just to get the ATS win. We might throw a couple bucks on the Clippers moneyline here as we think this is a decent spot for them to challenge for the win. |
|||||||
01-05-18 | Bulls +5 v. Mavs | 127-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Both teams have been playing well beyond expectations lately but we just think this is too many points to be laying against the Bulls who have been playing hard every night. After a real hot streak the Bulls have lost three straight but they have had a real tough schedule and all those losses were to playoff-caliber squads. They take a big step down in competition tonight and we think that these teams are evenly matched and we had this line handicapped at -3 with a lean to Chicago at that number so we think there is very nice value here tonight getting this many points. |
|||||||
01-05-18 | Wolves +3.5 v. Celtics | 84-91 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
This looks like the kind of spread where the bookies are begging for Boston money but we will side with the road team with this small spread as we think the Wolves have a legit chance to win this one straight out. Boston is in a letdown spot here as they are coming off their big win vs. Cleveland and then they play tomorrow and we would think they might not play to their potential against this out of conference opponent tonight. The Wolves are coming off a loss but this team lately had been playing as well as any club in the league and we think they are a live dog tonight. |
|||||||
01-05-18 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 60-64 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #827 Wisconsin over Rutgers (7p.m., ESPN 2) Just do not trust Rutgers at all. This has been a bottom feeder program for much of their existence and anytime you get this low of a number you need to press. After beating Seton Hall, Rutgers has lost three games in a row and they have yet to win a Big 10 game this season. Wisconsin still has Ethan Happ and he alone is better than anything Rutgers will put on the floor. The Badgers have won 5 straight games and that has given them confidence that they will take into this game. Just seeing the ball go into the basket can help young players. I still do not believe that this is an NCAA Tournament team, but they still have a system and that usually is good enough to beat inferior teams. Rutgers has played Wisconsin tough in the past and that means Coach Gard (3-0 against them) will not take them lightly. Rutgers is 17-38 ATS in their last 55 Big 10 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Thunder -1.5 v. Clippers | Top | 127-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
The Clippers have been playing well but they have had a super easy schedule and their only real quality win was at Houston but we think that was more of an off night for the Rockets than the Clippers doing anything special. OKC has won seven of nine and this team is starting to put it together after a slow start to the season where there were some growing pains with the new Big 3. But this is a team that was supposed to be a Top 3 team in the NBA and they are suddenly playing the part while the Clippers ceiling this season is probably a No. 8 seed if they even make the playoffs (and if they can stay healthy). The Thunder have covered four of the last five meetings. They played in LA last night and barely broke a sweat against the Lakers so they have no travel and this is about the best situation for a road game back-to-back that they could possibly have tonight. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Portland State +1 v. Eastern Washington | 74-81 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #593 Take Portland State over Eastern Washington (9p.m., Thursday January 4) The Vikings do not want to start conference play 0-2 and thus it is important for them to come ready to play and win this game. This team has won 6 of their last 8 games including a 25 point victory at Cal. The Eagles enter this game having lost 6 of their last 9 games. Portland State is 20-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 30 road games. Eastern Washington is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a victory in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Arizona State v. Colorado +9.5 | 81-90 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #544 Take Colorado over Arizona State (8:30p.m., PAC-12 Network) ASU put a lot into their game at Arizona and they lost it in a close game. Sometimes a loss like that causes another road loss since their undefeated season came to an end. This team is still in unfamiliar territory and I am not convinced that they will be able to handle prosperity. The Buffaloes are a much stronger team at home and I just do not see them getting run off the floor this evening. CU Boulder is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. |
|||||||
01-04-18 | Warriors -5 v. Rockets | 124-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The Warriors are getting healthy again and the Rockets are banged up, with of course their superstar James Harden out of the lineup for this contest. Golden State has revenge for the Rockets beating them early in the season and when this GSW team is motivated they play their best. We have no doubt that this is one of the biggest games of the season for them and they should give 100% tonight. Golden State had won and covered three straight in this series before that season-opening loss and this version of the Rockets with Chris Paul leading the charge is a weaker team than the Harden-led club that Golden State dominated in those meetings. We think with the Warriors playing at their best that this game is a real mismatch. |
|||||||
01-03-18 | Pelicans +1.5 v. Jazz | 108-98 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Utah is coming off a win over the overrated Cavs, but otherwise this team has not been playing great basketball after a nice start to the season. They really miss Rudy Gobert and this is a team to be wary about until their best player returns. These teams played about a month ago in New Orleans and the Pelicans led by as many as 16 before squandering that lead in the second half. Revenge is an overrated handicapping angle but when a team folds like that they normally remember and want to right the previous wrong. And they have just the team to do it against tonight in the reeling Jazz. |

01-03-18 | New Mexico v. Boise State -9 | 62-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #784 Take Boise State over New Mexico (9p.m., Wednesday January 3) The Lobos have gotten up for a couple of games this season against TCU and Nevada but they cannot consistently stay with good teams on the road. They caught Nevada at just the right time as most of the Pack has the flu last Saturday. Boise State has the most impressive win in the MWC thus far winning at UNLV over the weekend. They have won 8 of their last 9 games. The Lobos have gotten blown out by UTEP, Colorado, Maryland, and New Mexico State. Boise State is better than all of those teams. New Mexico is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Boise State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. |

01-03-18 | Raptors -5.5 v. Bulls | 124-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Chicago has been a nice story, but if we are being real here the Raptors are so far ahead of the Bulls as far as talent and ability that this should be a blowout if Toronto plays their game. Chicago has lost their last two games so this team is cooling off a bit. Toronto has won three straight matchups in this series and we had this line handicapped at -8.5 so we think there is some nice value here getting the much better team on the other side of the key NBA betting number of 7. |

01-03-18 | Pistons +2.5 v. Heat | 104-111 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Miami has been a nightmare for bettors when they play at home as they are 4-11-2 ATS on the season here in South Beach and we think they are overvalued here again tonight. Not only are the Pistons in great form after blowing out the Spurs last game but they have had three days off coming into this matchup, their first of 2018. They will also get Avery Bradley back tonight and that should give this team a big boost. The Heat have been very inconsistent this season, but the one thing that is very consistent with this squad is that they don’t often cover on their home court and we think that trend will continue here on Wednesday night. |

01-03-18 | George Washington v. Duquesne -1 | 52-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #746 Duquesne over George Washington (7p.m., Wednesday January 3) I do not expect either one of these teams to make much noise in the Atlantic 10 this season. That being said I am a fan of Keith Dambrot, as he had great success at Akron and should make Dukes much more competitive in the Atlantic-10. The Colonials have not played a true road game since December 9th and they will struggle to win many games on the road. George Washington is 3-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 road games following 3 or more consecutive home games. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these two teams. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Grizzlies +5.5 v. Clippers | 105-113 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
The Clippers are playing well recently with three straight wins and five of six. But you get the feeling that things won’t continue to go well for this team as this squad is probably a lottery team this season even if Blake Griffin stays healthy. The Grizzlies one of the teams that always seems to give the Clippers trouble and they have covered in eight of 10 here at Staples Center and they are 14-6-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings overall. The Grizzlies are playing with some confidence right now and we think they will challenge for the win in what should be a close contest. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Hawks v. Suns -1 | Top | 103-104 | Push | 0 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Atlanta is one of the worst NBA teams in the league this season and this team is 3-15 on the road. The Suns aren’t a good team, either, but at 14-24 and playing in the tougher Western Conference they are quite a bit better than the Hawks, in our opinion. The Suns have won two of three and they are in nice form right now and this is a very winnable game for them so we think they go all out tonight in front of the home fans. The Suns have covered in four straight meetings and they have won the last two meetings at home, and we think those trends will continue here on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Spurs v. Knicks +5.5 | 100-91 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
The Spurs have not been a good road team this season. They are 8-10 SU and 6-12 ATS. We think the Knicks can keep this one close tonight and this is just too many points for the public Spurs. At 18-18 the Knicks have been playing much better than expected. They have done most of their damage at home, where they are 15-6 on the season. The Knicks have covered three of four meetings. Their non-cover was last week in San Antonio but New York will play much better this time around and on their home court. |
|||||||
01-02-18 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 61-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. #524 Take Wisconsin over Indiana (7 pm ESPN) Neither one of these teams will make the NCAA Tournament but Wisconsin is at home and they have had great success against Indiana over the years. The Badgers enter this game having won four straight and the last three by blowouts. Wisconsin has covered the spread 4 of their last 5 games against Indiana and they have a great win/loss record against them. Indiana is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games.

01-01-18 | Alabama -2.5 v. Clemson | 24-6 | Win | 100 | 151 h 21 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. #273 Take Alabama Crimson Tide over Clemson Tigers (Sugar Bowl, Monday, 1/1 8:45 pm ESPN) MAGNIFICENT 7 GAME Despite being the No. 1 overall seed, the Tigers got a bad draw having to face Alabama in New Orleans. Alabama has the most talent of any roster in college football and this long layoff will allow them to get healthy especially on the defensive side of the football. Clemson will have trouble running the football against Alabama, as they allow under 100 yards per game rushing. Throw in the fact that Alabama has revenge on their minds from Clemson defeating them last year and I just do not believe Kelly Bryant can move the football like Deshaun Watson did against Alabama. The Crimson Tide is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. |
|||||||
01-01-18 | Central Florida +10 v. Auburn | 34-27 | Win | 100 | 143 h 2 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #267 Take UCF Golden Knights over Auburn Tigers (Peach Bowl, Monday, 1/1 12:30 pm ESPN) UCF has a remarkable season and I believe they will be able to score points to keep this game somewhat competitive. One must question the Tigers motivation for this game after not making the playoff by suffering their third loss of the season in the SEC Championship Game. UCF will need to sell out to stop the run against Auburn and make the Tigers beat them through the air. Auburn is 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 nonconference games. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | 76ers v. Suns +3.5 | Top | 123-110 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
Phllly got the upset win in Denver last night but now they have a real tough back-to-back in Phoenix. Denver is a tough place to play either the first or second half of a back-to-back and the Suns will run the Sixers with a fast pace all night and we think they will be real worn out by the fourth quarter and the Suns have a real legitimate chance to pull the upset here. Philly has yet to win or cover a b-2-b this season in four tries and this young team may be in another bad spot tonight. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Wolves -2 v. Pacers | 107-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
The Pacers will likely be without Victor Oladipo tonight and he is really one of the main reasons that this team has played so well this season. They have lost three straight entering this matchup and this team is not in good form right now and without their best player we feel they will have a tough time beating the Wolves tonight. The Wolves are coming off a loss but they won five straight before that and even though they are banged up they should get some players back tonight and we think they have a good chance to win this one comfortably. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Hornets v. Clippers -2 | 98-106 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
The Clippers had been playing well before Blake Griffin returned and with their best player back in the mix they should be even better. The Hornets are in a letdown spot after beating the Warriors last time out but we think that was more of an off game by Golden State than anything and they will likely come back closer to what they are tonight. The Clippers have covered in 11 of the last 16 meetings and we feel that will continue tonight as whenever the Hornets show signs of a spark they normally let down backers soon afterwards. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Raiders +9.5 v. Chargers | 10-30 | Loss | -130 | 123 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #325 Take Oakland Raiders over Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday 4:25 pm CBS) The Raiders should have beaten the best team in the league on Christmas night, but they were done in by turnovers and missed field goals. Despite losing three straight games, the Raiders have been competitive in their last two games and I just do not believe they will throw in the towel and not come ready to play in Week 17. Los Angeles is 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games. Just too many points to be giving in this divisional match-up. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | 49ers +4 v. Rams | 34-13 | Win | 100 | 123 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #331 Take San Francisco 49ers over Los Angeles Rams (Sunday 4:25 pm FOX) We will keep riding the 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo until proven otherwise. We have used them the last two weeks and expect them to cover again and win their fifth straight game to close out the regular season. This game means nothing for the Rams and they are just 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite in a divisional game. Los Angeles only beat San Francisco by 2 points in the first meeting this season and that was when San Francisco was in disarray and had yet to record a win. The 49ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. |
|||||||
12-31-17 | Texans +4 v. Colts | 13-22 | Loss | -110 | 119 h 20 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #315 Take Houston Texans over Indianapolis Colts (Sunday 1 pm CBS) Just do not believe that the Colts are good enough to be favored over anyone in the NFL not named the Browns. Houston lost to Indianapolis at home this season and losing twice to them might cause Houston to consider making a coaching change. Indianapolis has not scored more than 20 points since 10/29 and thus it makes covering this number even more difficult. Houston is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home in their previous game. Indianapolis is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against AFC South teams. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | 76ers v. Nuggets -6.5 | 107-102 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Embiid is the big start for this Philly team and when he rests as he will tonight you have to look to fade this team and that is what we will do tonight. Denver has one of the best home-court advantages in the NBA and they are 12-3 here this season. Philly has lost six of their last seven and this team is just not playing well right now and that trend should continue with Embiid sidelined in a hostile environment. The Nuggets have had two nights off before this game so they are well rested, and the Sixers probably have road fatigue as they have been on this trip for awhile and are probably ready to get back home to Philly. |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Eastern Illinois v. Austin Peay -5.5 | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. #646 Take Austin Peay over Eastern Illinois (8p.m., Saturday December 30) The Governors have had an easy start to OVC playing to bad teams to open the season. They beat SIUE by twenty points and expect another easy victory tonight against Eastern Illinois. The Panthers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Austin Peay is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
