12-08-17 | Celtics +2 v. Spurs | 102-105 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Boston is 10-2 ATS on the road this season and this is a team you can really trust away from home. They are also a better team than the Spurs at this point in time. The Celtics are a perfect 5-0 ATS when getting points this season and we expect them to take care of business and win this game outright. These are two of the best defensive teams in the league and this should be a close game and in the fourth quarter every possession will be contested. These teams met in October and the total went just above 200 but these defenses are in midseason form now and this will be a tight game but in the end we have to go with the Celtics as we know they want this one really bad and their defense should go all out to win a low-scoring game here. |

12-08-17 | Raptors -6 v. Grizzlies | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Memphis has covered only one of the last five meetings between these teams, and this is the worst version of the Grizzlies that Toronto has seen during that time. We took the Grizzlies against Minnesota a couple games ago as they were desperate for a win and they got it against the Wolves but then they had a big letdown the next game out in getting blown out at the Knicks. Now they face a much better team in the Raptors tonight. We are super impressed with the play of Toronto this year as they have adapted their style and are getting great ball movement on offense. This is the first game of Toronto’s four-game road trip and we know they will want to get off to a good start here against a floundering team that is also one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | St. John's v. Arizona State -5.5 | 70-82 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #522 Take Arizona State over St. Johns (8 pm PAC 12 Network) The Sun Devils have been on a wrecking crew this year and are ranked under third year coach Bobby Hurley for the first time in his tenure. They are 7-0 and already have impressive victories against Xavier, San Diego State, & Kansas State. St Johns is 7-1 but they have yet to record a victory against an NCAA Tournament quality team. The Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. ASU has covered the spread in 6 straight games. |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Warriors v. Pistons +6 | Top | 102-98 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Detroit has lost four straight but three of those losses were very respectable and those were all on the road. Now they are back home where they are 8-2 on the season. This is the second meeting this season between these teams and the Pistons already won in the Bay Area in October as part of their 15-7-2 ATS record. Detroit is Top 3 ATS this season and this team seems to love the big matchups as they have beaten a lot of top teams this season. Golden State is a very good team even without Curry but they have had a pretty easy run of it on their current road trip and we expect this team to face a bit of adversity tonight. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Rockets v. Jazz +6.5 | Top | 112-101 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
Utah is 11-4 ATS at home this season and they are undervalued again tonight. The Jazz are coming off a road loss at OKC but this team won six straight before that, with five coming on this same court. This team has one of the best home-court advantages in the NBA and this is a very good team this season even after losing Gordon Hayward. Houston has won seven straight but this team has had a real easy schedule lately. This is the toughest game they will have played in their last eight games. The Jazz have scored 110+ in five of their last seven games and this is an offense that can hang with the Rockets and keep up with their pace. We think both teams will get their points and we expect a close, high-scoring game here on the TNT nightcap. |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Lakers +8.5 v. 76ers | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
The Lakers have lost five straight but they have had three nights off before this game and we think that they will be primed for a strong showing here on Thursday night. These teams played in LA last month and we thought the Lakers matched up pretty well and they were up heading into the fourth quarter but ended up losing by six. With the extra rest coming into this game we think they will play well again and this seems like an inflated line as we had this one at 6.5 so getting this one on the other side of the key NBA betting number of 7 provides some nice value for this TNT matchup as we expect a close, hard-fought game. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Portland State +2.5 v. Loyola Marymount | 94-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #601 Take Portland State over LMU (10 pm) The Vikings are coming off a win against Stanford and they are 6-2 on the season and do not have a bad loss (Duke and Butler). This team is for real and should challenge for the top spot in the Big Sky Conference. LMU is 4-3 on the season and they do not have a bad loss either, but they have yet to record a quality win. Portland State has covered the spread in 6 straight games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Pistons +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-104 | Push | 0 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
Detroit has lost three straight so they will be very keen on getting back on the winning track tonight. If you look at those losses, though, you will see that there was only one bad loss, and that was to the Wizards in a game that they did not play well. The next night they were on a back-to-back in Philly and they led entering the fourth quarter but ran out of gas late. Then they led the Spurs almost all game and San Antonio hit some nice shots late to score a three-point win even though the Pistons covered. Now Detroit is on the last leg of their 4-game road trip which makes this game even more important as if they win here tonight they will come out of this trip without many worries but if they lose all four of their games then this was just a disastrous road trip. We think they give max effort here. We expect a real close game here and we had this spread closer to pick’em. Milwaukee has won four of six but if you look at their schedule they needed OT to get by Phoenix then they won a home and away against Sacramento. Those are two of the five worst teams in the NBA. And they also won at Portland, which is their only recent quality win. Detroit has covered the last three in this series and the games have all been pretty competitive. We see this as a game that will be close again but we think the Pistons have the more complete team right now and they will be extra motivated in this game. We think that they pull out a close one tonight on the road. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Buffalo -3.5 v. Delaware | 75-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #539 Take Buffalo over Delaware (7 pm) The Blue Hens are coming off two straight losses and I do not see things turning around against Buffalo tonight. The Bulls are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. Expect them to cover yet again in a nonconference road game. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Oakland -1.5 v. Eastern Michigan | 89-95 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #527 Take Oakland over Eastern Michigan (7 pm) This battle of Michigan will go they way of the Golden Grizzles, as they will be looking for their fourth straight win. Oakland has a system that they excel at under their long-time coach and look for them to take down EMU this evening. Eastern Michigan is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Oakland is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Wisconsin +4.5 v. Temple | 55-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #525 Take Wisconsin over Temple (7 pm ESPN U) The Badgers look to sweep their two game set against eastern PA teams tonight with a victory in Philadelphia against Temple. The Owls have not major conference wins against lesser teams in those leagues but they also have bad losses against George Washington and LaSalle. Wisconsin has confidence going into this game after hanging on for dear life against Penn State last time out. Look for them to carry that over into another victory tonight. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Wizards +6 v. Blazers | Top | 106-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
We always like to take a team that is coming off an embarrassing loss because these players are pros and they will give a much better effort the next time out. The Wizards were on the wrong end of one of the biggest blowouts of the season as they lost last night by 47 points in Utah. That came after playing almost a perfect game at home in their own blowout win over Detroit even with John Wall sidelined. They are going to give a much better effort here and we are sure of that. Portland has lost two straight, both at home, and this team is just 7-6 at home this season and that is just one more win than the Wizards have on the road. And while we think revenge is mostly an overrated handicapping philosophy we do think it comes into play and the Blazers won in Washington last week and we think that maybe last night in Utah that they were looking ahead to this matchup. We also expect a low-scoring game, which makes the points for the underdog all the more valuable. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Miami-OH v. Missouri -22.5 | 51-70 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #722 Take Missouri over Miami OH (9 pm) The RedHawks are 5-3 on the season but they have not played anybody this and all three of their losses have come by double digits. The Tigers have much improved under their new coach and expect them to win this game by 20+ points. Missouri is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games played on Tuesdays. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | SMU v. TCU -3.5 | 83-94 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #734 Take TCU over SMU (9 pm) This battle of Dallas will go the way of the Horned Frogs. TCU is a perfect 8-0 on the season and Coach Dixon has turned this program around in just over a year. The Mustangs already have two bad losses on the season to WKU and Northern Iowa and they will lose this game by double digits. TCU is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Suns v. Raptors -13.5 | 113-126 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
The Suns are running on fumes here tonight as they are on the last game of a six-game road trip and come in on a back-to-back. They won in Philly last night in a big surprise and they also played Boston real tough but now this is their third game in four nights and we don’t think they will have much left here. Toronto is playing extremely well and they have won seven of their last nine games. Toronto is 7-3 ATS when laying six or more points this season so this is a team that you can trust when laying a big number as they tend to beat up on bad teams. The Suns are just in a very bad spot tonight and we think this will be a very ugly game for the visiting team that could lose by as many as 20 points tonight. |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Gonzaga v. Villanova -5 | 72-88 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #738 Take Villanova over Gonzaga (7 pm ESPN) The Bulldogs are rebuilding this season and flying cross country to take on the Wildcats will be too tough of task for them to overcome. Villanova is undefeated on this season and they have lots of experience playing at Madison Square Garden. The Wildcats have not really had a competitive game this season and I expect them to pull away in the second half as well in this game. Gonzaga is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Villanova is 44-20 ATS (1 push) in their last 65 nonconference games. |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Pistons +3.5 v. Spurs | Top | 93-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
Detroit is one of the best ATS teams in the league at 14-7-1 on the season and even though they have lost two straight we think they will be primed for a big bounce-back performance here. Detroit is 5-2 ATS on the road against winning teams. They have some big wins this season on the road as they beat OKC, Boston and Golden State already this season. We think that not only will they be primed to end this two-game slide but they want to put another feather in their collective cap by beating a top team on the road. We think the Pistons are absolutely legit this season and since this team doesn’t have big stars and is not a team with recent success that they will hold their betting value despite some major ATS success already this season. |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Wolves v. Grizzlies +3.5 | 92-95 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Memphis is on a long losing streak. This isn’t a team like the Bulls or Suns; this is actually a decent squad that is just in a slump. And we think they will play hard until they end this losing streak so we could see some value in their numbers as they get bigger and bigger. We definitely think there is value here getting the points at home against a Minnesota team that is on a back-to-back after beating the Clippers on Sunday (in a game where they did not cover). But this team is inconsistent and they normally follow up a win with a loss as this team has not been able to build any positive momentum. Minnesota is 4-11 ATS in the last 15 games in Memphis and we think the home team has a very strong chance to end the losing streak tonight. |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Penn State | 64-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #525 Take Wisconsin over Penn State (7 pm ESPN 2) The Badgers are coming off an embarrassing loss to Ohio State on Saturday. That was their worst home defeat based on margin on victory ever at the Kohl Center. Much of that was due to Ohio State shooting out of their minds from the three-point line and I just do not believe Penn State will be able to replicate that. Wisconsin took Baylor and UCLA to the wire and I do not believe Penn State is on the same level as those teams. Penn State has never been a top team in the league and we will grab the points tonight in State College. The Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 Big 10 Conference games. |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Nebraska-Omaha v. Washington -12.5 | 73-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #750 Take Washington over Nebraska Omaha (7 pm PAC-12 Network) The Huskies have played a home heavy schedule against bad teams and that will continue on Sunday. The Mavericks are just 1-7 on the season and have not been very competitive on the road. Washington should continue to improve under their first-year head coach and expect them to take another step forward on Sunday night. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Rutgers +13 v. Minnesota | 67-89 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #735 Take Rutgers over Minnesota (6 pm BTN) Minnesota is coming off a disappointing home performance in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and I do not see things getting any better on Sunday. The Scarlet Knights are off to a strong start this season and they were respectable against Florida State last week. Just hard to lay double digits in conference games and I see Minnesota winning this game by 7-9 points giving us the cover with the underdog. |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Browns +14.5 v. Chargers | 10-19 | Win | 100 | 121 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #371 Take Cleveland Browns over Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday 4:05 pm CBS) It is not often you find a team that is under .500 on the season but this big of a favorite in the NFL. But this may be a good luck charm for the Browns, as this is the only team Hue Jackson has beaten during his tenure as Browns coach (1-26 overall). Cleveland put up 405 yards last week outgaining the Bengals. If they do that again and take care of the football I believe they can keep this deficit in single digits. San Diego is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games. |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Chiefs -3 v. Jets | 31-38 | Loss | -120 | 118 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #367 Take Kansas City Chiefs over New York Jets (Sunday 1 pm CBS) We will go against the grain in this game and look for the Chiefs to bounce back against the Jets. Kansas City has a major edge in talent on both sides of the football and if they play to their potential they will win this game by double digits. Despite losing five of their last six games, the Chiefs still sit atop the standing in the AFC West. Kansas City is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. Sooner or later the Chiefs will figure this out and get back on track and hopefully that starts on Sunday. |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Bucs v. Packers +1.5 | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 93 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #366 Take Green Bay Packers over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sunday 1 pm FOX) Brett Hundley played his best game of the season last week in Pittsburgh and look for the Packers to get back on track the next two weeks against inferior competition. Green Bay put up 462 total yards on offense last week and they have won the two most recent meetings with Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are also playing their third straight road game and playing in Green Bay in December is much different than practicing during the week in South Florida. Tampa Bay is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against NFC teams. Green Bay is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of December. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Nevada v. Cal-Irvine +10.5 | 76-65 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #598 Take UC Irvine over Nevada (10 pm) We are just taking the law of averages with Nevada. Sooner or later playing these road games is going to catch up with them. Irvine is always one of the top teams in the Big West and they are always a tough out at home. Nevada has an important game with Texas Tech on deck and I think they will just go through the motions in this game and win it by 6-8 points. Nevada is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against Big West teams. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +7 | Top | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 101 h 1 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. #328 Take Wisconsin Badgers over Ohio State Buckeyes (Saturday 8 pm FOX) People keep doubting the Badgers but all the do is win games and I just do not see this Ohio State team being able to run up and down the field on them. This is the best defense Wisconsin has ever had and QB J.T. Barrett is not the type of quarterback that can beat teams throwing the ball consistently down the field. Wisconsin looked much more impressive in games against Iowa and Michigan than did Ohio State (common opponents). This just has a different feeling that other Wisconsin appearances in the Big 10 Title Game. This Badger team is extremely confident on both sides of the football and this not as strong of Buckeye team as we have seen in the past. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Wisconsin has covered the spread in 4 straight games. Expect a game that is very competitive that goes down to the wire, but Wisconsin pulls it out by a field goal to advance to the CFP. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Pistons +5 v. 76ers | Top | 103-108 | Push | 0 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
We were on the Pistons last night and they put forth an embarrassing performance but we think that we will see a much better effort from them here on Saturday. Last night they were beaten in almost every aspect by a Wizards team that was missing John Wall but they just took the night off there and this team is much better than that. This team has been one of the Top 3 clubs in the Eastern Conference and they are one of the best ATS teams on the season. We really like them getting this many points against a team that while improved is still a work in progress and we think that the Pistons are the more complete ballclub right now. Plus Detroit has revenge as they lost to Philly as one of their seven losses on the season (in October). |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Georgia v. Auburn -2 | 28-7 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #322 Take Auburn Tigers over Georgia Bulldogs (Saturday 4 pm CBS) The SEC East teams have not won this game since 2008 and I do not believe this will be the year that will change. Auburn is riding high after beating Alabama last week. They got banged up in that game at the running back position, but I still believe they are the better team against Georgia. The Bulldogs struggle when they cannot run the football and that will be the key for the Tigers to have success. Auburn is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games played in December. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Clippers +4.5 v. Mavs | 82-108 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 2 m | Show | |
The Clippers are a mess right now and wrought with injuries but we don’t think the Mavs should be favored by this many over anyone. The Clippers are a better team even with this depleted roster. LA played well against Utah last time out before a late collapse but in their second game sans Blake Griffin we think they will put together a more complete game. Dallas has been favored only three times this season and they have failed to cover in any of those games. They are 1-7 ATS at home against teams with a losing record. We think that this is a very winnable game for the road team and we expect them to go all out for the win since those are going to be harder and harder for the Clippers to get this season with all the injuries holding them back. We also expect this one to be pretty low scoring as the Mavs don’t have a very strong offense. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Georgia Southern -2.5 v. Costal Carolina | 17-28 | Loss | -115 | 94 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #309 Take Georgia Southern Eagles over Costal Carolina Chanticleers (Saturday 1 pm ESPN 3) Apparently Georgia Southern is the best 2-9 team in the country. I watched their entire game last week against Louisiana and it was no fluke that they were the better team. Now they are on the road again facing a Chanticleer team that will likely be without QB Tyler Keane. The Eagles have played their best two games of the season the last two weeks and look for them to complete the trifecta on Saturday. Coastal Carolina is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Georgia Southern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Colorado -3 v. Colorado State | 63-72 | Loss | -111 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #523 Take Colorado over Colorado State (1 pm) The Rams have lost a ton of talent from last year and they have gotten pounded by every decent team that they have played. The Buffaloes have played a home heavy easy schedule thus year, but they are 6-0 and they have revenge from last season. Colorado State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +4.5 | 95-79 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
The Spurs are just 10-10-1 ATS this season and this team is not playing championship-caliber basketball at the moment. Leonard is out and this team has struggled to meet expectations with their star out. San Antonio is 4-5 on the road this season SU and 2-7 ATS. This is the second game of a home-and-home as these teams played in San Antonio on Wednesday with the Spurs capturing a nine-point win. But it’s hard for the same team to win the second game in these situations, especially when the second game is a road contest. The Grizzlies have dropped nine straight so they will be very desperate for a win, and we think with the last meeting being just a couple days ago that familiarity will give them a chance to succeed here. We think they will get the job done via defense. The Grizzlies can’t score much but they can play defense when motivated, and we think that will be the case tonight. The Spurs, of course, always play strong D and we think both teams will grind it out in this game. And a low-scoring game makes the underdog more attractive. Memphis has covered four of the last five meetings in this series at home. |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Stanford v. USC -4 | 28-31 | Loss | -105 | 77 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #304 Take Southern Cal Trojans over Stanford Cardinal (Friday 8 pm ESPN) USC is the fresher team for this championship and sooner or later a team from the south will win this game. USC already beat Stanford by 18 points this season and they have a major edge in talent for this game. Stanford had a physical game with Notre Dame last week and if USC can stop their rushing attack and do not believe they will be able to move the ball and score points. Stanford is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS victory in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Pistons -1.5 v. Wizards | 91-109 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Love the Pistons as a slight road favorite in this spot. The Wizards are banged up. John Wall is out here and Bradley Beal is nursing an eye injury and is questionable for this game. Beyond those two guys the Wizards are a pretty weak squad. This is a team to fade until Wall returns. On the other side is the Pistons, who have been probably the biggest surprise of the season so far. This team has been teetering on the edge of being a contender for the last couple years but they finally have put it together this year. They are 14-6 SU and 14-5-1 ATS so when they win they normally cover, and we expect them to get the win tonight and easily cover this short line. Detroit is 5-0 ATS on the road against teams with a winning record! |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Purdue v. Maryland +2.5 | 80-75 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. #718 Take Maryland over Purdue (7 pm BTN) Just do not believe that any Big 10 team besides Michigan State can handle prosperity this year. Teams will go up and down throughout the year. Since Purdue is coming off a victory in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and Maryland is coming off a loss we will side with the loser looking to bounce back. Purdue is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 Big 10 games. We will take a flyer and expect Maryland to bounce with a straight up victory. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-30-17 | Jazz -2.5 v. Clippers | 126-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
The Clippers are in real trouble. Now that Blake Griffin is out a couple months with an ankle injury they are now down another starter after two other starters are out injured. Griffin was basically carrying the team up to this point and they don't have a lot to get excited about now that he is out of the lineup. DeAndre Jordan is a nice complimentary piece but he's not the type of player that will put his team on his back and wins games by himself. This looked like a lost season even with Griffin in the lineup but now with him out two months or more this team might be looking at a high draft pick in the offseason. The Jazz have won four of five and they are starting to play very well despite some injuries. This team already had the Clippers number even with a complete roster (4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in LA) but we expect this one to be all Jazz on Thursday night. The Clippers are getting too much credit by the oddsmakers because of two nights rest and home court, but we think the Jazz are the clear play here. We also expect a low-scoring game here. |
|||||||
11-30-17 | 76ers +9 v. Celtics | 97-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
The Sixers are a bit banged up right now but we think that this line is too large on Thursday. Philly is 7-2 ATS this season as an underdog so getting this many points is very attractive tonight. Philly has also covered in four of the last five meetings and they have not lost by more than 10 in any of those games. Boston has lost two of their last four so they aren’t in the best form right now after the long winning streak. The Sixers play hard almost every night and you know that they want to play well here on the road against this opponent. We expect a very close game here. |
|||||||
11-30-17 | Texas Tech v. Seton Hall +1.5 | Top | 79-89 | Win | 100 | 23 h 14 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. #530 Take Seton Hall over Texas Tech (6:30 pm FS1) NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR. The wrong team is favored in this game. Texas Tech has a gaudy 6-0 record and that includes victories over Boston College and Northwestern in Uncasville, CT. Of those wins, Boston College played them much closer than the final score would indicate, and we saw this week that Northwestern is not that good (loss to Georgia Tech on Tuesday). The Pirates are 5-1 on the year with their only loss coming against Rhode Island by one point in a game they led down the stretch. The team is loaded with talent and returns four starters from their NCAA Tournament team last season. Seton Hall is used to playing at Madison Square Garden and having a competitive game will benefit them a great deal in this game. Texas Tech is much improved, and they appear to have a good coach in Chris Beard but I just do not believe they are back all the way. This is a program that has not had consistency in their entire history and they are still likely a bottom of middle of the pack team in the competitive Big 12. Texas Tech is 1-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games against Big East Conference teams. Texas Tech is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 neutral site games. |

11-29-17 | Miami-FL v. Minnesota -5 | 86-81 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #764 Take Minnesota over Miami (9:15 pm ESPN 2) This Golden Gopher team is legit, and they have not had a competitive game this year. Throw out their last game in which they beat Alabama by five points under strange circumstances (Alabama played with only three plays in the court in the second half). Miami is 5-0 but they have not played anybody of note this season (4 home games, 1 neutral site game). This will be their first true road game and I do not expect them to be up for the challenge. |
|||||||
11-29-17 | Thunder -6 v. Magic | Top | 108-121 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
We like to back good teams coming off a bad loss and the Thunder certainly fit the bill here as they were blown out in Dallas last time out after a one-point home loss to the Pistons. They have had three days off to lick their wounds and regroup and we think they will be focused and ready at Orlando tonight. Orlando has lost nine straight games and they have covered only one in their last six. The Magic are just 3-6 ATS when getting six or fewer points as a dog. This is a team we look to bet on when getting big points but this is too few points tonight against a Thunder team that will come in anxious for a big performance. |
|||||||
11-29-17 | St Bonaventure -7 v. Siena | 75-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #775 Take St Bonaventure over Sienna (7 pm) This is just a mismatch in talent and the road favorite is a much better team. The Saints already have blowout losses to Bucknell and Florida Gulf Coast and this Bonnies team beat Maryland. St Bona has a bad taste in their month after losing to TCU last time out and they will take out their frustrations in a big way tonight in update New York. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-28-17 | Bucks v. Kings +6.5 | 112-87 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
The Kings are playing pretty well lately. They have failed to cover the line in only one of their last six games (one push). They are coming in with a lot of confidence after beating Golden State last night, even though the Warriors were missing some key players. But they are now 6-3 ATS at home and we think they will be competitive here tonight. The Bucks have covered only one of their last five and they continue to be overvalued. |
|||||||
11-28-17 | Heat +5 v. Cavs | Top | 97-108 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
The Heat are very good on the road as they are 6-4 thus far this season, and that is the same record that the Cleveland Cavaliers have at home. The Cavs are on a big winning streak but this team is still overvalued nighty and we think that they are giving too many points tonight. They enter on a back-to-back after a big win against Philly last night. But Cleveland is just 1-11 ATS as a favorite of three or more points this season. We think that this will be a close game and that the underdog has a chance for the straight up win. |
|||||||
11-28-17 | Detroit +10.5 v. IUPU Ft Wayne | 82-91 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #547 Take Detroit over IPFW (7 pm) This border battle should be a competitive game and we will gladly grab in the points in this contest. The Mastodons are coming off two straight losses and they have already lost to a team from the Horizon League this season. The Titans have righted the ship this season with three straight wins including Saint Louis. Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Fort Wayne is 7-18 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games overall. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-27-17 | Wisconsin v. Virginia -8.5 | 37-49 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. #725 Take Wisconsin over Virginia (9 pm ESPN 2) Virginia is playing over their heads at the moment and I do not believe this team will make much noise come March. Wisconsin is a very similar team to Virginia and I just do not see them getting run out of the building. The Badgers are in desperate need of a quality win this season and they have the best player on the floor in Ethan Happ. Expect this game to be played in the low sixties giving us a good chance for a cover with the underdog. Wisconsin is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games against ACC teams. |
|||||||
11-27-17 | Pistons v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 118-108 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
These are two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and two of the best betting teams as well. But we think the Celtics are on another level above Detroit and we think that they will be very motivated in this game tonight. Boston is 18-3 this season straight up. They are 17-3-1 ATS. That means that most often when they win that they win by enough to cover the number. And we expect that to be the case tonight. The big Celtics winning streak ended last Wednesday in Miami. You expect for a team to lose after that long winning streak to let down in the following games but the Celtics did not miss a beat and earned two blowout wins and covers in their next two games. The Pistons are coming off a big road win in OKC but they have lost three of their last five overall and they got blown out in Cleveland against a team that is not as good as this Celtics club this season. This is the start of a homestand for the Celtics and we think that they will want to get off to a strong start and flex their muscles a bit against one of their main contenders in the East. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | UC-Davis v. Washington -7.5 | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. #522 Take Washington over UC Davis (8 pm PAC-12 Network) This is a get well game for the Huskies and they look to move to 4-0 this season against low mid-major programs. Washington now has a competent coach and they should only get better as the season goes on and they become more familiar with him. UC-Davis made a run into the NCAA Tournament last year by winning the conference tournament, but they lost some talent from last season and will not be able to stay within double digits in this game. The Aggies are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games against PAC-12 teams. Washington is 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Nets v. Grizzlies -5 | Top | 98-88 | Loss | -111 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
The Grizzlies have not been playing well and have dropped seven straight. But they have had a pretty tough schedule overall and this should be a good “get right” game for them on Sunday night. Brooklyn is only 2-7 on the road this season and after playing tough against teams like Golden State and Cleveland lately we doubt they bring their A Game tonight against a lesser opponent. This line has been overadjusted but we expect Memphis to come out hungry here and we think that they win this one by 7+ points. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Saints v. Rams -2.5 | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 121 h 52 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #268 Take Los Angeles Rams over New Orleans Saints (Sunday 4:25 pm CBS) The are two of the surprise teams in the NFC this season. The Rams laid an egg in the second half against Minnesota last week but expect them to bounce back in a big way today at the Coliseum. The Saints have won eight straight games but exhausted a lot of energy last week to beat the Redskins in overtime last week at the Superdome. Over his career Drew Brees has not been the same quarterback when playing outdoors and the Saints have a much more important game the following week against Carolina. The Rams are 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against teams with a winning road record. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Bills v. Chiefs -10 | 16-10 | Loss | -105 | 117 h 28 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #258 Take Kansas City Chiefs over Buffalo Bills (Sunday 1 pm CBS) The Chiefs are in freefall at the moment but Buffalo should provide the perfect remedy to get back on track. By now you know how dysfunctional the quarterback situation is for Buffalo and despite being 5-5 this team may be lucky to win a game the rest of the season. The Chiefs defense is still playing well and sooner or later the offense will breakout and light up the scoreboard. Kansas City is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games against AFC East teams. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Spurs -2 v. Hornets | Top | 106-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
The Spurs have not played well on the road this season but they have a great chance to start to turn that trend around here on Saturday night against a fatigued Hornets team. This Charlotte squad is coming in on a back-to-back after losing a one-point heartbreaker in Cleveland last night. They had Thanksgiving off but they played Wednesday night and went to OT in that game. That makes this a big letdown spot for a weary team. The Spurs have had two nights off to stew about their last game, a huge blowout loss in New Orleans. Because they were so bad that night we have a feeling this team will come out strong here and bring their A Game to try and put that bad loss in the rearview mirror. Nic Batum missed the game last night for the Hornets and he is questionable here and if he is out or not at 100% then that makes this Charlotte team much weaker as he is a key piece for this squad. The Spurs are 5-1 ATS as a small favorite this season (4.5 or fewer points) and we think that this is a great spot for them to bounce back against a tired team. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Georgia Southern v. UL-Lafayette -6 | 34-24 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #216 Take Louisiana Ragin Cajuns over George Southern Eagles (Saturday 5 pm ESPN 3) The Eagles are coming off their first victory of the season beating South Alabama 52-0 in one of the most surprising results of the entire 2017 college football season. Now they take on a desperate Ragin Cajuns squad needing to win this game to become bowl eligible. Louisiana was a seven-point underdog last year and won, 33-26 in Statesboro. Louisiana is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played in November. Georgia Southern is 5-14 ATS (1 push) in their last 20 games overall. Expect a double-digit victory on Senior Day for the home team. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Youngstown State v. Southern Miss -3 | 64-71 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #776 Take Southern Miss over Youngstown State (5 pm) The Penguins are 2-3 this season and they have played a very weak schedule as all five games home come against teams that will not make the NCAA Tournament. There two victories are against teams that do not even play division one basketball and they will get blown out today by the Eagles. The line opened as a pick’em game and have been moving the way of Southern Miss all morning. Youngstown State is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Alabama v. Minnesota -3.5 | 84-89 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. #782 Take Minnesota over Alabama (9:30 pm) Both teams are undefeated, but Minnesota is playing much better now. The Golden Gophers have been dominating opponents all season long winning all six games by double digits. They have talent up and down the bench and will keep their double-digit margin on victory streak alive. Alabama has a more important game that their entire fan base is worried about. The Tide is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS victory in their previous game. Minnesota has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Alabama -4 v. Auburn | 14-26 | Loss | -115 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #225 Take Alabama Crimson Tide over Auburn Tigers (Saturday 3:30 pm CBS) Would go bigger on Alabama if I believed this was a winner take all game. But the way things are going I feel they can lose this game and still make the College Football Playoffs. That being said, I still believe Alabama will win this game, something they have done 5 of the last 6 years (5-1 ATS). The difference in this game will be the Crimson Tide defense as they are allowing just 87 yards per game rushing. Alabama is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games. Expect Alabama to make a play late in the fourth quarter to win this game by 7-10 points. |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Indiana +3 v. Purdue | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 93 h 32 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #151 Take Indiana Hoosiers over Purdue Boilermakers (Saturday 12 pm ESPN 2) This Battle of Indiana has everything on the line. Besides winning the Old Oaken Bucket, the winner becomes bowl eligible and the loser finishes out the season and 5-7. Indiana has been playing better of late and will enter this game having won two straight games (both by double digits). Purdue is also coming off an impressive victory at Iowa and because of that performance they have been installed as the favorite. Indiana has won four straight in this series and had a much more difficult conference schedule. Purdue is 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games. |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Vanderbilt v. Seton Hall -6 | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #564 Take Seton Hall over Vanderbilt (9:45 pm ESPN 2) The Pirates came out flat yesterday against Rhode Island but should be able to bounce back in a big way against an inferior opponent. The Commodores are in complete rebuild mode after making the NCAA Tournament last season and have gotten destroyed against both good teams that they have played. Seton Hall cannot afford to take this game lightly and finish this tournament 0-2 and therefore I expect them to produce a double-digit victory tonight at the Barclay’s Center. Vanderbilt is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Seton Hall is 19-8 ATS in their last 27 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Pistons +8 v. Thunder | Top | 99-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
This Detroit team is one of the most undervalued clubs in the NBA this season. They are 11-5-1 ATS on the year and we think they are getting too many points once again tonight. The Pistons have dropped three of four but they did not embarrass themselves in any game except the last one, a home blowout vs. Cleveland. That was their last game and that was on Monday so they have had plenty of time to relax and regroup and we think they will come into this matchup with something to prove. And since they are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in this series that shows us that they normally bring their A Game against the Thunder. OKC is coming off their biggest win of the season in blowing out the Warriors at home. We think that makes this a letdown spot against an out-of-conference opponent. And that this one is coming right after the Thanksgiving holiday and two days after their win over Golden State makes this even more of a letdown spot. OKC has been pretty average this season overall. They are still a work in progress. We expect a real close game here and a Detroit straight up win would not be shocking. |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Magic +8 v. Celtics | 103-118 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Boston is clearly one of the best teams in basketball and one of the best teams in the east. But they can't win every game this season and they definitely won't cover every one, especially with their recent lines going sky high. They lost last time out and now that the winning streak is over this team will probably take their foot off the gas a bit. Orlando is a decent squad this season and they are finally getting healthy. They are 6-3 ATS on the road this season and this team is normally undervalued on the road where they usually get big points. Actually this team is 5-1 ATS when getting five or more points this season and they are 6-3-1 ATS on the road. We think that the Thanksgiving holiday might be a distraction to the Celtics and they could come into this one unfocused and the young guys on the Magic will definitely want to play well here. We think that they can keep this one within the big line. |
|||||||
11-24-17 | New Mexico v. TCU -17.5 | 67-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #614 Take TCU over New Mexico (7 pm CBSSN) The Lobos are in complete rebuild at the moment with most of their talent from last season gone and they have a new coach this year as well. They are coming off two straight embarrassing losses and I just do not see any way they can keep this game under a 20-point deficit. TCU is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. New Mexico is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 nonconference games. |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Miami-FL v. Pittsburgh +14 | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 69 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #132 Take Pittsburgh Panthers over Miami Hurricanes (Friday 12 pm ABC) The Hurricanes have not played a road game since October 28th and in that game, they struggled to defeat the worst team in the league. Miami is coming off a 44-28 victory against Virginia and is guaranteed a spot in the ACC Championship Game. That final is misleading as they trailed by 14 points in that game before turning it on in the fourth quarter. This is be the Panthers final game of the season and I believe Miami could still lose this game and win next week against Clemson to make the College Football Playoff. Pittsburgh is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Expect Miami to win by 7-10 points as they are looking ahead to the Championship Game next week. |
|||||||
11-23-17 | Rhode Island v. Seton Hall -3.5 | 75-74 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. #732 Take Seton Hall -3.5 over Rhode Island (6:30 pm ESPN U) The Rams are a solid team, but they are banged up with EC Matthews off the floor after getting injured at Nevada. Just feel the Hall has two many weapons and should have an edge in the stands as well as this game is being played in Brooklyn. The Pirates are 4-0 and have yet to have a close game this season. Seton Hall is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

4 Unit Play. #724 Take Oklahoma -1.5 over Arkansas (5 pm ESPN 2) The Hogs are just a different team on the road and they’re in your face style is just not as effective away from Fayetteville. The Sooners had a terrible season last year, but Lou Kruger and company are never down for long and expect a bounce back season. Arkansas is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against Big 12 teams. |

11-23-17 | Chargers v. Cowboys +1 | Top | 28-6 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 59 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. #110 Take Dallas Cowboys over Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday 4:30 pm CBS) The Cowboys face a must win situation when they host their annual Thanksgiving Day game. The Chargers are coming off their best performance of the season but most of that success had to be with Buffalo QB Nathan Peterman throwing five interceptions. The Chargers are playing on Thanksgiving for the first time since the merger and playing Thursday games on the road is always a tough task. Dallas is getting a step down in class compared to their last two games (Philadelphia & Atlanta) and should be getting back some of their players for this game. The Chargers never seem to handle prosperity well evident by their loss at Jacksonville two weeks ago and you just cannot count on them to win games consistently. Los Angeles is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following a victory in their previous game. Dallas is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. |

11-22-17 | Rice v. Ole Miss -18.5 | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #594 Take Ole Miss over Rice (10 pm ESPN U) No bet against Rice is a bad bet this season. They team got blown out by UNLV on Monday, a Rebels team that could not get out of their own way last season. Expect another blowout tonight against Ole Miss, a team that already has two double digits victories on the season. Rice is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. |

11-22-17 | Idaho -1.5 v. Santa Clara | 69-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #585 Take Idaho over San Clara (9:30 pm) The Broncos are terrible this season losing their two best players form 2017-2018. Idaho returns a lot of talent and should be able to win this road game tonight in Santa Clara. Both teams have played Nevada this season but Idaho was more competitive playing them in Reno (Santa Clara lost by 30 to them at home). |
|||||||
11-22-17 | Warriors -5 v. Thunder | 91-108 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
We like to back the Warriors in situations where they are ultra motivated. And that should be the case tonight as Golden State and Kevin Durant travel back to visit his old team, the Thunder. Golden State has covered in seven straight meetings in this series. The last four wins have all been by more than 15 points. This team always has an “us against the world” mentality and Durant’s teammates will want to step it up for him on what is now enemy territory. OKC is 1-6 ATS this season against teams with a winning record. We think that this team will be good come playoff time but they are still working things out and trying to gel as a team while the GSWs are the complete package right now. |
|||||||
11-22-17 | Nets +11 v. Cavs | 109-119 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Brooklyn has covered in all of the last three meetings and we think that they are once again getting too many points in this matchup. The Cavs have been just horrible as a big favorite this season and they are 1-9 ATS when laying three points or more. Brooklyn is a perfect 3-0 ATS when getting eight or more points this season. The Cavs are coming off a rare blowout win but this team is just not beating teams badly this season and even though they have sometimes mixed results the Nets seem to come to play every night. They seem to really get up for this opponent and we have a feeling they will make it four straight covers against the Cavs tonight. |
|||||||
11-22-17 | Appalachian State +2.5 v. James Madison | 99-105 | Loss | -117 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #529 Take Appalachian State over James Madison (4 pm) No bet against James Madison will be a bad bet this season. They have lost 4 straight games and they really struggle to score points. The Dukes are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Mountaineers have played the tougher schedule and that will allow them to win this true road games. |
|||||||
11-21-17 | Bulls +6 v. Lakers | Top | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
This is too many points for a team like the Lakers to be laying against anyone. Even though the Lakers have stunk for the last couple years they can still be a public team, and as the lone game in the NBA on Tuesday against one of the dregs of the Eastern Conference we think that this line is inflated a bit. The Bulls have been pretty good when getting big points like this as they are 6-4 when getting six or more points. The Lakers have only laid a line in this big of a range once, a few nights ago vs. Phoenix, and they lost straight up as 7.5-point favorites. Chicago has covered five of the last seven meetings and we think that this is a very winnable game for a team that won’t collect many Ws on the season. |

11-21-17 | Texas-Arlington +11 v. Alabama | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #705 Take UT Arlington over Alabama (9 pm SEC Network) The Crimson Tide are getting a lot of hype this year but I do not believe they are a top 25 team. The Mavericks are 2-0 this season including a win at BYU and I just do not see them getting blown out in this game. Bama has played a weak schedule thus far and if Arlington can avoid the initial onslaught they will take this game down to the wire. Alabama is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games following a victory in their previous game. |

4 Unit Play. #762 Take Valparaiso over Samford (8 pm ESPN 3) The Crusaders are always a tough out at home and this will be their fifth straight win against cupcakes. The Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Missouri Valley teams. Valpo is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against Southern Conference teams. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

4 Unit Play. #748 Take Wisconsin over UCLA (7:30 pm ESPN 3) The line tells me a great deal about this game. We have an unranked team favored against a ranked team and the line just keeps moving the way of the Badgers. Both teams want this victory to avoid going 0-2 in Kansas City and I just have more confidence in Wisconsin and their system than I do Steve Alford and UCLA. |

3 Unit Play. #564 Take Michigan over LSU (11:30 pm ESPN U) This may be the worst field of teams in the Maui Invitational ever. That being said, Michigan has a great coach and a system they are familiar with. LSU is in complete rebuild mode with a new coach and system and it will take some time for them to gel. Both teams have played cupcakes thus far in 2017 by Michigan does return some talent from their NCAA Tournament team last year. Michigan is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 neutral site games. LSU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. |

11-20-17 | Baylor v. Wisconsin | 70-65 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #572 Take Wisconsin over Baylor (9:30 pm ESPN 2) The Badgers are more battle tested for this game and need a quality victory during the nonconference portion of the season. Baylor also had to replace a ton of talent from last year like Wisconsin. The Badgers do have the best player on the floor in Ethan Happ and they do have the size to match-up with the Bears. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 nonconference games. |

11-20-17 | Clippers -1 v. Knicks | Top | 85-107 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
The Clippers are in their biggest slide in years as they have lost eight straight entering this game. But this is just a much better team than the Knicks despite the recent results and we have to be happy laying this small number here on Monday night. LA played pretty well at Cleveland the other night, losing in OT, and then they were awful in the back-to-back at Charlotte. But they had Sunday off to regroup and we think they will be very motivated to get back on the winning track here. They have a very favorable upcoming schedule and they can start to turn this thing around tonight. They should get P. Beverley back tonight and he will be a sparkplug on defense. LA is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings in NY and 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall. |

11-20-17 | Jackson State v. Maryland -27.5 | 45-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #596 Take Maryland over Jackson State (7 pm BTN) Big favorites have been covering most of the early portion of the season and I see no reason why that will change on Monday in College Park. The Tigers have gotten blown out in their last two games against mid-major teams and they will not be able to put up much of a fight this evening. Maryland got a score last time out against Bucknell and you can bet they will be much more focused this evening. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

5 Unit Play. #550 Take UAB over Richmond (5 pm) It is hard to imagine just how bad this Richmond team is this season. Granted they lost talent from last year but they still have a good coach and system but nothing has gone right for them this season. They are 0-2 and have gotten blown out by low mid major programs at home. UAB is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against teams from the Atlantic 10 Conference. Richmond is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams from Conference USA. |

4 Unit Play. #723 Take USC over Vanderbilt (8 pm SEC Network) This is a true road game for the Trojans but the talent clearly lies with them. They return a ton of talent and should have no problem winning this game by 8-10 points. Vanderbilt already has a loss to Belmont on their resume and this is a much better team than Belmont. The Commodores are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. |

11-19-17 | Boise State +2 v. Iowa State | 64-75 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #733 Take Boise State over Iowa State (7:30 pm ESPN) The Broncos are the better team in this match-up despite being from a high mid-major conference. Iowa State has gotten destroyed in both of their losses and this is a complete rebuilding year for them. The Cyclones have not covered a spread in 5 straight games and I do not believe they will make the NCAA Tournament this season. Boise State is one of the top teams in the MWC and will move to 5-0 on the year. |

11-19-17 | Pistons +6 v. Wolves | Top | 100-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
These teams have identical 10-5 records on the season but Detroit is 10-4-1 ATS while the Wolves are just 8-6-1. We think the Pistons have been undervalued by the oddsmakers and we think that is the case here tonight as we had this line at 4 with a strong lean to the road team at that number. Detroit has dominated this series the last couple years, winning and covering in five straight matchups. They have lost two straight coming into this one. The first was at Milwaukee, a very strong team in their own right. The second was at Indiana, and they blew a big lead in that one as the home team got momentum in the fourth quarter. We will forgive them for that slip up and back them here as they want to come away from this road trip with something to show for it and they will go all out for the win tonight. |

11-19-17 | South Florida v. Indiana -16 | 53-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #720 Take Indiana over USF (6 pm BTN) It is starting to become worrisome for this 2017-2018 Hoosier team. They have put together three lackluster performances and need a convincing victory to get this team back on track. USF should provide that as they have played three terrible teams to open the season and have not been tested whatsoever. The line opened at -13.5 and keep going up letting us know we are on the right side. USF is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Bengals v. Broncos -2.5 | 20-17 | Loss | -113 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. #470 Take Denver Broncos -2.5 over Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday 4:25 pm CBS) Denver laid an egg last week on NBC, but expect them to bounce back in a big way this week against a lesser opponent. Much of Denver's demise was caused by poor special teams play, and if they can clear that up they should win this game. Cincinnati is playing their third straight road game, and they are 8-18 ATS in their last 26 road games when they are an underdog. Denver still has a strong defense, and the Bengals rank last in total offense in 2017. This will not be a pretty game, but Denver playing at home in the afternoon is always a tough situation for the opponent. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Lions v. Bears +3 | Top | 27-24 | Push | 0 | 119 h 13 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. #452 Take Chicago Bears over Detroit Lions (Sunday 1 pm FOX) The Bears are coming off a terrible performance against Green Bay last Sunday. They played terrible and coached terrible at different times in that game and still have a decent chance to win it. Now they take on the Lions, a team that has won two straight games, but they did not look impressive last week against Cleveland. The Bears beat the Lions last year in Chicago and Detroit is just 2-6 ATS (1 push) as a road favorite in a divisional game. Chicago is 8-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games when they are an underdog. Chicago has already beaten Pittsburgh and Carolina at home this season and Detroit never seems to handle prosperity very well. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Long Beach State +12.5 v. Oregon State | 81-89 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #533 Take Long Beach State over Oregon State (11 pm) Oregon State was a dumpster fire last season and I just do not see a great turnaround in 2017-2018. They are not good enough to be winning games consistently by double digits. The Beach always has a competitive team in the Big West and they won at San Francisco already this season. Oregon State is 3-11 in their last 14 nonconference games. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Nevada v. Pacific +10.5 | 89-74 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #530 Take Pacific over Nevada (10 pm) On paper this appears to be a complete mismatch but the line on this game is trending towards are side. It is hard to win on the road in the WCC especially in the high school style gyms many of these programs features. This will be Nevada’s second straight road game for the Pack and I just do not feel they can shoot as well as they did on Wednesday. The Tigers are 5-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games overall. Just have a feeling Pacific will hang around in this game for 40 minutes. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Celtics v. Hawks +7 | Top | 110-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Atlanta has a lot better ATS record (7-7-1) than they do SU record (3-12) and that is what we look for in a home underdog against a “buzz” team like the Celtics that are on a massive winning streak and just beat the world champs last time out. Atlanta always plays tough in this series and they have actually covered in five of the last six meetings. This is the first game of a new road trip for Boston and after their big win over the Warriors this is probably a letdown spot for the road team. It seems like the bookies are begging the public to take the Celtics here and they are obliging but we expect a close, low-scoring game here and we think that the underdog is the only way to go in this matchup. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Jazz +6.5 v. Magic | 125-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Utah is banged up right now and they haven’t been playing well lately. They are also coming in on a back-to-back. But we just think this is too many points they are getting tonight. This is Orlando, after all, that is their opponent tonight. They have lost three straight as well. The Jazz could get Ricky Rubio back tonight from injury and that would be a big help to the offense here. Utah has won two straight meetings in this series and they have covered six of the last seven meetings in Orlando. We think the Jazz will go all out to end this losing streak in what is a very favorable matchup on Saturday. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | San Jose State v. Colorado State -33 | 14-42 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 44 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #390 Take Colorado State Rams over San Jose State Spartans (Saturday 3:30 pm CBSSN) The Spartans might be the worst team in FBS and the Rams should be able to name their score in this game. The Rams are in desperate need of a victory having lost three straight games including blowing a 14-point lead in the final two minutes last week against Boise State. The Spartans have lost 9 straight games and all their losses have been by double digits. Colorado State is angry, and they are going to take out their frustrations on San Jose State. The Spartans are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a winning record. Colorado State is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games played during the month of November. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Hawaii v. Utah State -10.5 | 0-38 | Win | 100 | 97 h 15 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #350 Take Utah State Aggies over Hawaii Warriors (Saturday 3 pm) The Warriors started off well at 2-0 but have been in freefall the rest of the season losing 7 of their last 8 games. Their only win came against San Jose State, the worst team in FBS. Utah State has won three straight games against Hawaii and will enter this game fresh as they did not play last Saturday. Utah State needs to win one of their last two games to become bowl eligible and I expect them to win this game by double digits. Hawaii is 8-25 ATS (1 push) in their last 34 games overall. Utah State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Michigan v. Wisconsin -7.5 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 94 h 13 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #416 Take Wisconsin Badgers over Michigan Wolverines (Saturday 12 pm FOX) The Badgers just continue to win games and will enter this game 10-0 and all their victories have come over today’s posted number. Wisconsin is not pretty on offense and they turn over the football way too much but their defense is outstanding. Michigan will struggle to move the football on them and sooner or later Wisconsin will pull away and win this game convincingly. Iowa had Wisconsin on the ropes last week yet they still lost by 24 points. Wisconsin has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings with Michigan. Michigan is 5-10 ATS in their 15 road games as an underdog. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Texas Tech v. Boston College +8.5 | 75-64 | Loss | -108 | 1 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #544 Take Boston College over Texas Tech (12 pm ESPN 3) This neutral site greatly favors Boston College as it is driving distance from Chestnut Hill. It is now or never for Coach Jim Christian in his fourth year and he needs to show progress or he will be fired. I think they hang around in this game and lose by 4-6 points. Texas Tech is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Clippers +6.5 v. Cavs | 113-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
The Clippers are really struggling right now but this is more a play against Cleveland than for the Clippers. The Cavs are always overvalued by the oddsmakers, and they have been particularly bad at home where they have yet to cover a game this season (0-6-1 ATS). They have been particularly bad as a favorite as they are 1-8 ATS when laying 3 or more points on the season. The Clippers are really desperate for a win. They come into this game having had three nights off to regroup and we expect a strong effort tonight. |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Pistons +1.5 v. Pacers | Top | 100-107 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
This Pistons team is flying up our power rankings and we think this squad is legit. They are 10-4 SU this season and they have been a covering machine on the road. We think that they are in great shape for a big road win here on Friday night. These teams just played in Detroit recently and it was a very dominating performance by the Pistons, who won by 17. We think they could easily score a massive win here as the “revenge” angle is way overrated in NBA handicapping, especially for a team like Indiana that is one of the more lousy teams in the NBA this season. They are just trying to take the season game by game and if they have revenge on their minds then they are going to have a lot of enemies this season because they won’t win too many games. We think the Pistons are undervalued here on the road and we expect them to continue their strong play here on Friday. |

11-17-17 | Northern Kentucky -8.5 v. James Madison | 87-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #751 Take Northern Kentucky over James Madison (5 pm) This is a complete mismatch in talent and this will be a double-digit victory in the Bahamas. James Madison is terrible and predicted to finish at the bottom of the standing in the CAA this season. They got blown out by Old Dominion and things will not get any easier this afternoon. James Madison is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 nonconference games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-17-17 | Virginia v. VCU +6.5 | 76-67 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #724 Take VCU over Virginia (4 pm CBSSN) This is a true road game for Virginia and I do not see them running the Rams out of the building. The Cavaliers finished 2017 with a major identity crisis and now some are wondering if Tony Bennett’s style can take them to the Final Four. They were embarrassed last year in the NCAA Tournament against Florida and I feel that this game will go down to the wire. Virginia is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. VCU is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games played on Friday. |
|||||||
11-16-17 | Xavier +1 v. Wisconsin | Top | 80-70 | Win | 100 | 20 h 23 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. #515 Take Xavier over Wisconsin (8:30 pm FS1) The spread tells me a great deal about the talent disparity in this match-up. Playing at the Kohl Center is generally worth 5-6 points and this game being a pick’em means that most of the talent lies with the Musketeers. Wisconsin is in complete rebuild mode and are very young outside of Ethan Happ. Xavier is a top 15 team in the country that made the Elite Eight last season and has a chance to reach the Final Four this year. Xavier is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Wisconsin is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Thursday. Throw in the revenge factor for the 2016 NCAA Tournament and expect Xavier to pull away late and win this game by 6-8 points. |
|||||||
11-16-17 | Warriors -7 v. Celtics | Top | 88-92 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
The Celtics enter having won 13 straight but we think they are running into a buzzsaw tonight. Golden State has won seven straight themselves and they are in midseason form right now. When this team is playing well they can cover any line thrown at them over any team. And when they are motivated they are very dangerous. And there is no doubt they will be motivated tonight as they have a chance to halt this Celtics winning streak. The fact that Boston has won two of the last three meetings will fuel the Warriors fire even more. This is just the much better team slat out and we expect a big performance from the road team. |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Nevada v. Santa Clara +5.5 | 93-63 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. #738 Take Santa Clara over Nevada (10 pm) Nevada has played a brutal schedule to open this season and the style of the Broncos should cause them fits tonight at the Leavey Center. Nevada is on a high after beating Rhode Island on Monday but playing on the road against WCC teams is always a tough task. Nevada got a great whistle shooting 44+ free throws on Monday. That will not happen tonight, and I see this game going down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Pacers +3.5 v. Grizzlies | 116-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies started off real hot at the beginning of the season and they have trailed off a bit and have lost three of their last four. They are coming off a long road trip, mostly against very tough teams, and then this is their first game back home before they face Houston and Portland in their next two games. We just don’t see how they are going to be very focused for this opponent, and it seems with this small line that the bookies are begging the public to take the home team here. Memphis is 0-3 against the Eastern Conference so far this season and we just think this is a bad spot for them tonight, especially with Conley very questionable for this game. |
