01-23-21 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin -4.5 | 74-62 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #684 Wisconsin over Ohio State (4p.m., Saturday, January 23 CBS) Ohio State has been overachieving of late and their momentum will run out today in Madison. The Buckeyes are coming off a tough loss to Purdue in Columbus last time out and this will be most experienced and talented team they have faced this season. The Badgers have won two straight games (2-0 ATS) and they will likely finish in the top 2 of the conference because of their consistency and favorable schedule coming up. The favorite is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 games between Ohio State and Wisconsin. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Florida v. Georgia +4 | 92-84 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #644 Georgia over Florida (2p.m., Saturday, January 23 ESPN2) Top College Basketball Play of the Day. Florida played their best game of the season against Tennessee this week and I just do not believe they can play that well again on the road. Georgia is coming off two straight conference wins and they have righted the ship after a tough start to SEC play. Florida is still banged up and they are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games played on Saturday. Georgia is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Virginia Tech v. Syracuse -1 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #608 Syracuse over Virginia Tech (12p.m., Saturday, January 23 ACCNX) Here we have an unranked team that is favored over a ranked team and that is usually a sign for a strong play. The Orange are coming off their best performance of the season this week against Miami and look for another win today at the Carrier Dome. Virginia Tech is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Hawks -6 v. Wolves | 116-98 | Win | 102 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Atlanta was hot to start the season but then came back down to Earth a bit but now they have an easier part of their schedule and they are heating up again with two straight wins. They covered in both games. One of those wins was against this same Minnesota team, one of the worst squads in the NBA this season. Revenge won’t be a factor because the teams played a game since that matchup already, and everyone is beating the Wolves these days, so they aren’t focusing on one loss. |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Nets -7 v. Cavs | 113-125 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Cleveland played probably their game of the season last time out in an OT win against Brooklyn. They are probably satisfied with that result, and we just don’t see them putting in the same effort. They are not as deep as the Nets, and that will hurt them in this game after playing all the extra minutes Wednesday. Brooklyn will be very motivated here, and we think this could be a double-digit blowout. |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Michigan v. Purdue +5 | 70-53 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #844 Purdue over Michigan (7p.m., Friday, January 22 FS1) Purdue has been playing outstanding basketball of late having won 4 straight games with 3 of those wins being against likely NCAA tournament teams come March. They are now ready for some home cooking, as Purdue traditionally plays much better at home compared to on the road. Michigan currently sits atop the standing in the Big 10, but they got run over in their last road game against Minnesota, losing by 18 points. The underdog is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 meetings. Purdue is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -7 | 118-129 | Win | 101 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
These teams played last time out, and the result was a Utah blowout. The final score was not even indicative of how one-sided that game was. Normally we would go for the zig zag theory in this game since it’s hard to beat a team twice in two consecutive games. But Utah has just been so dominating lately and is quietly playing some of the best hoops in the league, and we think they will be able to cover again as the oddsmakers didn’t make a big enough adjustment to this line. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Utah v. Washington State +2.5 | 71-56 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #774 Washington State over Utah (10p.m., Thursday, January 21 PAC12N) Not sure why Utah is favored in this game considering Washington State is at home and may have the best player on the floor. Wazzou has played a brutal schedule of late and thus their 3 game losing streak is not as bad as it appears. The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 games between Utah and Washington State. The Cougars is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Lakers v. Bucks -1 | Top | 113-106 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Both teams are playing well but we think the motivation lies with the home team here. The Lakers are defending champs and they don’t have anything to prove. This is a marquee national TV game but just another matchup for them. After flaming out in the postseason last season, the Bucks have a lot to prove and they will want to show they are one of the best teams in the NBA. Plus, the bookies always shade the lines for the Lakers, and we think that is the case here as we had this line handicapped at 3.5. Milwaukee has covered in five of the last six meetings. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Rutgers -2.5 v. Penn State | 67-75 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #735 Rutgers over Penn State (7p.m., Thursday, January 21 BTN) We will follow the line movement in this game, as Penn State opened as the favorite but now Rutgers is a slight favorite. Penn State has yet to win a conference game this season. They have been competitive at times but usually falter down the stretch and today will be no different. Rutgers has been struggling as well and needs to win this game to get back on track and solidify their NCAA Tournament bid come March. The road team is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 games between Rutgers and Penn State. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Kings v. Clippers -10 | 96-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
These teams played Friday and the Clippers scored 138 in a blowout. Sacramento is the worst defensive team in the NBA, allowing 124 points per game. The Clippers already showed they can excel over this defense, and their offense in general is humming like a well-oiled machine right now. They have scored 129 or more in three of their last four games. Just don’t see any way the Kings will slow them down tonight. We think the Clippers can pick their score tonight and they should very likely score in the area of 130 again. And the Kings should play better offensively than they did on Friday, but we think this will be another blowout as the Clippers are very focused right now and playing probably the best basketball in the league recently. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Auburn v. Arkansas -6 | 73-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #708 Arkansas over Auburn (9p.m., Wednesday, January 20 SECN) The Razorbacks are ready for some home cooking after getting blown out on the road two straight games. Auburn is improving but they already lost at home to Arkansas earlier this season. Auburn is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning home record. Arkansas is 9-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 home games. Auburn is not eligible to play in postseason play and thus I expect them to fade down the stretch as we get closer to February. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin -11 | 52-68 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #712 Wisconsin over Northwestern (8p.m., Wednesday, January 20 BTN) The Wildcats are a sinking ship now, having lost 5 straight games and all of them have come by double digits. Wisconsin will challenge for a Big 10 Title this season and expect them to pound Northwestern in this game winning by close to 20 points. Wisconsin is ready to return have after two straight road games and expect them to jump out early in this game. The favorite is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in the last 21 meetings between the Wildcats and Badgers. Northwestern is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | VCU v. St Bonaventure -1.5 | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #670 St Bonaventure over VCU (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 CBSSN) The Rams are always a traditional power in the Atlantic 10 and thus we get a favorable line going against them tonight. The Bonnies have won 4 straight games including the last 3 in blowout fashion. This team will challenge for the Atlantic 10 regular season championship come March and they will take care of business tonight. The favorite has covered 4 straight games in this series. The Bonnies are 11-4 ATS (1 pus) in their last 16 home games. |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Rhode Island -4.5 v. Duquesne | 69-71 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #671 Rhode Island over Duquesne (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 ESPN+) The Dukes have been a sinking ship at the moment having lost 4 of their last 5 games, the last 3 coming by at least 9 points. Rhode Island has better talent than what they have showed thus far in 2021 and expect them to go on a run and move up atop the standing in the Atlantic 10. The closing stat on this game: the road team is 18-3 ATS in the last 21 meetings between the Rams and Dukes. |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -6 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
Utah is quietly playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. They have won five straight and covered in all of those games. Four of those five were on the road. We think they are undervalued again tonight, especially under the key number of 7 for NBA betting. New Orleans has lost four of five and they didn’t cover in any of those losses. One of these teams is trying to figure things out, while one is in midseason form, and the number is more than fair here for the favorite. |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Colorado State +8 v. Utah State | 64-83 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Colorado State over Utah State (9p.m., Tuesday, January 19 CBSSN) The Aggies might be in a letdown spot coming off a sweep of San Diego State last time out. That was an emotion win for this program, as the Aztecs were predicted to win the MWC regular season this season. The Rams are beaten the bad teams in the league thus far and they are coming off two blowout wins against San Jose State over the weekend. See this game going right down to the wire and we will grab the points in this game. Colorado State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Kansas +9 v. Baylor | 69-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #879 Kansas over Baylor (9p.m., Monday, January 18 ESPN2) We have used Kansas in this spot over the years and had success and will do it again on Monday. The talent may favor Baylor in this game, but Scott Drew seems to have issues winning the Big 12 and this year may be no different. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings between Kansas and Baylor. The road team is 23-8 ATS (1 push) in the last 32 meetings as well. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Rockets -1.5 v. Bulls | 120-125 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Even with the troubles this Houston team has gone through so far this season, this is still a better team than the Bulls, and we think the Rockets have their best chance for success this season by getting rid of Harden as he was holding the team back. Of course they will miss his talent, but this is still a capable team, and we think they are underrated by the oddsmakers right now. We think this will be a close game but that Houston will pull away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Spurs v. Blazers +2 | 125-104 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
We think the wrong team is favored here. We had the Blazers as a slight favorite in this matchup, and we expect them to win a close one. The points are just the icing on the cake here. Both teams are dealing with some injury issues, but we think the Blazers will be fine. They are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in this series, and we think they match up well again here in this game. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks -7 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
Atlanta was hot to start off the season and their hot start culminated with a win over Brooklyn on New Year’s Day. But then things went downhill, and they have lost six of their last seven. But they have had a pretty difficult schedule, and we think this is a Get Right game for them and one they should use to turn the momentum around. We think there’s a great chance for a double digit win here by the home team. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Pacers +6.5 v. Clippers | 96-129 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
The Pacers are a perfect 4-0 ATS as an underdog this season. We see them playing another competitive game tonight. We have been on the Clippers a lot this season, with mixed results. This team can look like one of the best in the league one night, like they did last time out in a blowout at Sacramento, and then the next game they can look bad (like the major blowout vs. Dallas). Indiana is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in LA, and we think this will be a very close game tonight. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Jazz +0.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 109-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
Going to ride the hot team here as the Jazz have won four straight and covered in all those games. This team has notoriously gotten off to slow starts in recent years, but this year is different and they seen very focused and determined. The Nuggets are 4-8 ATS to start the season, so this team has been a bit overrated at the beginning of the season. The Jazz are 6-2 this season away from home and have been very good in this role. We think with both teams bringing their A Game that the Jazz are the better team. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs +3 v. Saints | 30-20 | Win | 103 | 124 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #307 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over New Orleans Saints (6:40p.m., Sunday, January 17 FOX) Round 3 of Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees takes place Sunday night at the Superdome in New Orleans, LA. Just feel it is impossible to beat Tom Brady 3 times in 1 season and thus we expect Tampa Bay to not only cover the spread but win this game straight-up. The Saints did not look that impressive last week and if the Bears had a functional offense, they would have taken that game down to the wire. QB Brees still has trouble moving in the pocket and throwing the deep ball and the Buccaneers have the defense to put pressure on him for 60 minutes. New Orleans is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Penn State v. Purdue -5 | 72-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #808 Purdue over Penn State (1p.m., Sunday, January 17 BTN) Purdue is just a much better team at home and they are getting a Penn State team that has not played a game since December 30. The Nittany Lions have lost 3 straight games and I see them losing this game by double digits. Purdue has won 2 straight games, and this is the easiest teams they have played since December. Penn state is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Â |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Hawks v. Blazers -5 | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The Hawks have not lost five of their last six. They were blown out in Utah last night, and they looked tired in that loss. Just don’t know how they will rise up against another Western Conference playoff contender tonight and play a better game. They will actually play better since they can’t do much worse than last night, but this spread is more than fair and we think the rested Blazers will be able to cruise to a comfortable win. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Ravens +2.5 v. Bills | 3-17 | Loss | -106 | 102 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #303 Baltimore Ravens over Buffalo Bills (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 16 NBC) Both teams are playing well down the stretch and you could make a case for Buffalo, but the experience of the Ravens will prevail in this game. Buffalo looked shaky last week against Indianapolis at home and both times they appeared to have control of that game; they gave up a touchdown in a matter of one minute. QB Jackson got his first playoff win last week at Tennessee and I just feel the Ravens defense is playing better now. Baltimore is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road playoff games. Buffalo is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Rockets +7.5 v. Spurs | Top | 91-103 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
We had Houston when these teams played on Thursday and the Rockets won outright. We normally would go the other way when the home team loses like this in the first game but we just think this line is out of whack. The Spurs are now 0-3 ATS this season as a favorite of three or more, and this team just isn’t good enough to be laying big points. The Rockets got rid of their team cancer in Harden that was holding them back. This team lost a lot of talent when he left town, but now they can focus on maximizing the talent they do have on the team and they are underrated a bit by the oddsmakers now. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | Rams v. Packers -6.5 | Top | 18-32 | Win | 100 | 98 h 10 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #302 Green Bay Packers over Los Angeles Rams (4:35p.m., Saturday, January 16 FOX) NFL PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR We used the 49ers has our top play last year right out of the gate in the Divisional Round and will follow that formula again in 2021. The Rams are banged up and the game time temperature for this game should be around 30 degrees. The Packers are rested and QB Rodgers knows the importance of having the No. 1 seed in the NFC (only had it 1 other time in his career). Green Bay is 13-1 in their last 14 home games. QB Rodgers has a 23-2 touchdown to interception ratio at home this year. Green Bay led the league in points this year and I just do not believe Los Angeles will be able to match them score for score in this game. The Rams are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against the Packers. The favorite is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings as well. Green Bay is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | San Diego State +4 v. Utah State | 59-64 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 13 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #625 San Diego State over Utah State (1:30p.m., Saturday, January 16 CBS) The Aztecs are too good of a program to lose to the same conference team twice in a week. Utah State jumped out early on Thursday and never looked back, but San Diego State did not shoot well for the entire game. With no homecourt advantage I see the Aztecs evening up this series and keeping their hopes alive for a conference championship come March. SDSU is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-16-21 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Florida State | 75-82 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 43 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #603 North Carolina over Florida State (12p.m., Saturday, January 16 ESPN) Carolina has the talent edge in this game, as Florida State is just not as strong as they were compared to last year. We will grab the points in this game that we expect to go down to the wire. With Carolina it usually comes down to whether they can make shots from the arc and if they do they can win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Clippers -6.5 v. Kings | 138-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
The Clippers haven’t been covering many lines lately, but we think this number is more than fair. This is a team that LA typically dominates, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. They are well rested and playing well, and we think there is a very good chance for a double-digit win here tonight. Sacramento has been horrible defensively, and a team like LA can take advantage of that. And with extra rest the Clips will have the energy to play shut down defense. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Hawks v. Jazz -6 | 92-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Going with the hot team here. Utah has won three straight, all by double digits, and that includes a road win over the Bucks. After a hot start, the Hawks have lost four of five. That includes losses to the Knicks, Cavs and back-to-back losses against Charlotte. This team is just not playing well right now, and they are in a real tough spot on the road against one of the best teams in the West. |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Rutgers | 60-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #889 Wisconsin over Rutgers (9p.m., Friday, January 15 FS1) Both of these teams are desperate for a win and tonight is a must win for Wisconsin if they have visions of winning the regular season title come March. Wisconsin got blown out at Michigan on Tuesday, but Rutgers has dropped 3 straight games including the last two by double digits. Rutgers is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Friday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-15-21 | North Dakota State v. North Dakota +5.5 | 62-45 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #888 North Dakota over North Dakota State (8:30p.m., Friday, January 15 ESPN3) Both of these teams are expected to be in the top of the Summit standings come March and thus we will grab the points with the home team. The Bison are 4-0, but those wins have come against the bottom teams in the league. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between NDSU and North Dakota. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Hornets v. Raptors -8 | 108-111 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Toronto has had a tough start to the season. But they have had a really difficult schedule, and we think they have bottomed out. We know this team can play a lot better, and we think we will start to see some more positive results from this squad. They lost by a point each in their last two games. They have covered two of their last three, however, and this team has shown flashes lately. They have been playing better defense for sure, and we think that will continue tonight against a Hornets team that lacks offensive punch. They scored 93 last time out in a loss to Dallas, and we think we could see another real poor offensive effort tonight. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Rockets +7 v. Spurs | Top | 109-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Just think this spread is an overreaction to a few things. First, the Rockets are in a state of disarray after the Harden trade and his comments blasting the team after losing twice to the Lakers. And those two losses to the World Champs hurt bettors confidence in this team. There hasn’t been much positive news out of this club all season. But we think this line is inflated. This is the most points the Spurs have laid all season. They are 0-2 ATS as a favorite of more than 3 points this season. This is not a good team, either. And we think the Rockets players will come out and play hard after Harden said they basically suck on his way out of town. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Stanford -1 v. Utah | 65-79 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #717 Stanford over Utah (5p.m., Thursday, January 14 ESPN2) Utah is always a tough out at home but I just believe Stanford is a much more talented team in this game. The Utes have a lame duck coach that will likely be replaced soon, and this is one of his least talented teams. They have yet to record a quality win on the season and playing the top teams in the league has taken its toll on them. The Cardinal is coming off 3 straight double digit wins and the have great size in this game and will take advantage of that in a big way. Utah is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog. Stanford is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas -2 | 79-77 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Texas over Texas Tech (9p.m., Wednesday, January 13 ESPN2) Texas has run the gauntlet this far currently sitting at 4-0 in the Big 12. They are at home and have more talent than does Texas Tech and thus I am a little surprised the number is this low. The Red Raiders have gotten back on track against two bad teams in the Big 12, Iowa State and Kansas State. Texas Tech is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Texas is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Alabama v. Kentucky -2.5 | 85-65 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #638 Kentucky over Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) Do not believe it matters who Kentucky is playing, it just matters how Kentucky is playing. The Wildcats are getting back on tracking having won 3 straight games, the last one in blowout fashion against Florida. Alabama is also perfect on the season, but this will be their 3rd road game in their last 4 games. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between Kentucky and Alabama. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between Kentucky and Alabama. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Lakers v. Rockets +5 | 117-100 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
These teams played Sunday and the Lakers won in a blowout. Houston has been very inconsistent this season, but we doubt they will play so lousy in two games in a row in their home court to the world champs. If there were any game where the Rockets would bring extra effort, we think this is it. Before that Lakers loss the Rockets blew out Orlando, a pretty decent team, and we think they have the ability to keep this one competitive tonight. |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Wisconsin +4 v. Michigan | 54-77 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #615 Wisconsin over Michigan (7p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) The Badgers went into Ann Arbor and won last season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire as well. Michigan is 5-0 in the conference, but they have yet to play a team as experienced and deep as Wisconsin. The underdog is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games between Wisconsin and Michigan. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Ohio State +8.5 v. Alabama | 24-52 | Loss | -110 | 128 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #499 Ohio State Buckeyes over Alabama Crimson Tide (8:05p.m., Monday, January 11 ESPN) Would not surprise me if Alabama jumped out to an early lead in this game, but I believe Ohio State will be able to take this game down to the wire. Alabama has not faced a complete team like this all year and I just do not believe they will be able to run the Buckeyes off the field. The Crimson Tide defense has trouble when teams can spread you out and this will be a high scoring game that will remain in single digits. Ohio State played their best game of the season last time out and it would not surprise me if they follow that up with another strong performance this Monday. Alabama is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 bowl games. Ohio State is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog. |

01-11-21 | Grizzlies v. Cavs +2.5 | 101-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
These teams played Thursday and the Cavs won outright. Now they are at home and we think they have a good chance to win again. This would normally be a revenge spot for the losing team, but both squads played a game since then, so that eliminates the revenge aspect in our eyes. Cleveland has been playing strong team basketball and are overachieving here early in the season, and this is a very winnable game for them. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Suns -6.5 v. Wizards | 107-128 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Washington could be without Beal and Westbrook tonight, and they were underachieving even with their two stars on the court. Now they face one of the best teams in the NBA since the restart earlier this year, and we like that the Suns are under the key number of 7 here at our deadline. Without their key guys the Wizards are a very inexperienced team that could fall flat tonight. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Connecticut -5 v. DePaul | 60-53 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #865 Connecticut over DePaul (6p.m., Monday, January 11 FS1) Both teams have had Covid issues this season, but UCONN is in much better shape than DePaul is. The Huskies will enter this game having won 3 straight including a 21-point victory against this same DePaul team. This game will be closer tonight, but I still see UCONN winning by close to double digits. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Connecticut and DePaul. |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Indiana v. Nebraska +6.5 | 84-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #834 Nebraska over Indiana (6p.m., Sunday, January 10 BTN) The Hoosiers may come into this game flat, after they lost a double overtime game to Wisconsin this week. Now they must have a second straight road game against a team that has some talent. Nebraska has not played well this season, but this will be their weakest conference opponent they have faced this season. I just feel that they can take this game down to the wire and we will grab the points. |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Bears v. Saints -10 | Top | 9-21 | Win | 100 | 101 h 36 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #150 New Orleans Saints over Chicago Bears (4:40p.m., Sunday, January 10 CBS) The Bears backed into the playoffs this season with a soft schedule down the stretch before getting pounded at home last week against the Packers. The Saints are simply better on both sides of the football and they will win this game by double-digits. New Orleans lost last year in the wildcard round and thus they will not take this game lightly. QB Trubisky has played better of late, but neither the coaching staff or fans have much confidence that he will perform well in this game. He is not the quarterback of the future and this may be the end of the road for him in Chicago as the starter. New Orleans is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 7 games against Chicago. The Saints are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Bulls v. Clippers -11.5 | Top | 127-130 | Loss | -106 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
We always like to back the Clippers after a loss. This team has a penchant for bouncing back from losses that stretches back to last season. They have covered after every loss this season, usually with a strong performance. This team has a clean injury sheet, and we think they will step up the defensive intensity here against a shorthanded Bulls team that has played six of their last seven on the road and is probably ready to get back home. This looks like a blowout to us. |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Ravens -3 v. Titans | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 97 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #147 Baltimore Ravens over New Orleans Saints (1:05p.m., Sunday, January 10 ABC) The Ravens are everyone’s sleeper picks, and it would not surprise me in they make some noise in the 2021 playoffs this season. QB Jackson has yet to win a playoff game in his career and I expect him to finally get that monkey off his back on Sunday. Tennessee does not have a strong defense and they just are not particularly good in any layer on defense. The road team is 3-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 4 matchups between Baltimore and Tennessee. The Titans are 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 home playoff games. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Bucs v. Washington Football Team +8.5 | 31-23 | Win | 100 | 80 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #146 Washington Football Team over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 9 NBC) Nobody is giving Washington much of a chance in this game, but teams that host playoff games with a record of .500 or less have been well in this spot. Alex Smith is a capable NFL quarterback and expect him to bounce back in a big way on Saturday night. The strength of the football team is their defense and expect them to contain QB Brady and company for much of this game. These teams have met twice before in the playoffs and both of those games have been decided under tonight’s posted number. The underdog is 5-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 6 games between Tampa Bay and Washington. The Buccaneers are 1-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games played on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Hawks -4 v. Hornets | Top | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
Love the Hawks in this spot after the Ball Game in New Orleans last night. Some overhyped players played a big game and this is a letdown spot for Hornets. Atlanta has been inconsistent but this ia a very solid team, and we had this line at 7, so very nice value on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | USC -1.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 73-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #751 USC over Arizona State (7p.m., Saturday, January 9 PAC12N) The Sun Devils were missing 4 players on Thursday from their overtime loss to UCLA. Not going to try and speculate who will be playing this afternoon, but I just do not believe they can bounce back in less than 48 hours against a more talented USC team. The Trojans dominated the second half against the Wildcats on Thursday in route to their 14 point victory. They have great size that should be able to take advantage of the Sun Devils inside the paint. The Sun Devils got up for their game Thursday, but the second game back after missing key players is usually a lot tougher to maintain and that will be the case tonight. This ASU team already had chemistry issues before Thursday, and 3 of their 4 losses have come by 9 points or more. USC is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Trojans are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games played on Saturday. ASU is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Colts v. Bills -6 | 24-27 | Loss | -115 | 73 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #142 Buffalo Bills over Indianapolis Colts (1:05p.m., Saturday, January 9 CBS) Just do not feel that Phillip Rivers will be able to keep up with the high scoring Bills offense in this game. Buffalo finished the season on fire, winning 6 straight games and all of them came over today’s posted number. Buffalo went 5-2 ATS this season against teams with a winning record. Indianapolis is 2-4 ATS this season against teams with a winning record. The Colts are 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 games as an underdog. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Colts and Bills. Finally, the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games in this series. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers -4 | 79-68 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #616 Rutgers over Ohio State (12p.m., Saturday, January 9 BTN) Rutgers needs a win to get back on track, as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games. But this team has more talent than does Ohio State and playing at home will put them over the top, winning by 7-9 points. These teams have actually met once this season and the final score of 80-68 is very misleading. Rutgers led by 16 points in the second half before Ohio State made a late run to pull away down the stretch. Both teams have injury issues, but Rutgers should have the same team that played at Michigan State on Tuesday. But Ohio State should be without point guard C.J. Walker. Ohio State is 8-22 ATS (1 push) in their last 31 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Rutgers is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 home games. The favorite is 5-1 in the last 6 games between the Buckeyes and the Scarlet Knights. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games between Ohio State and Rutgers. |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Wizards +4.5 v. Celtics | 107-116 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Looks like Russell Westbrook will be good to go after a dislocated finger and we think this will be a close game. The Wizards haven’t had much success in the W/L department, but they have been covering half of their lines, and this team is undervalued by the oddsmakers right now. This game is sandwiched between two games with Miami for Boston, so there could be a letdown here tonight. |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Purdue v. Michigan State -4.5 | 55-54 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #860 Michigan State over Purdue (7p.m., Friday, January 8 FS1) We used Michigan State earlier in the week against Rutgers and easily won and will ride them again. Purdue is not as strong as Rutgers and they usually struggle to win games away from West Lafayette. The home team is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 meetings between Purdue and Michigan State. The Boilermakers are 3-10 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-07-21 | Illinois v. Northwestern +7 | 81-56 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #758 Northwestern over Illinois (9p.m., Thursday, January 7 BTN) Northwestern came back down to reality after losing two straight games. But losing on the road to Iowa and Michigan is not something to be concerned about, as they sit atop the standing in Big 10 play. Now they return home to face Illinois, another top team in the conference. The Wildcats have already beaten Michigan State and Ohio State in Evanston this season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire. Northwestern is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-07-21 | 76ers v. Nets +1.5 | Top | 109-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Durant is out here but we think the Nets are a solid team without him and they have a great chance for the win here against a Sixers team that is on a back-to-back tonight. The Sixers have been hot to start off the season, but this team has had a manageable schedule and on this B2B we think they will be in a bad spot and likely lose to a Nets team that is still quality without their star. |
|||||||
01-07-21 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 73-80 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Thursday, January 7 FS1) The Badgers are the most experienced team in the conference, and they should be able to challenge for a championship come March. The Hoosiers are coming off two close wins against inferior teams and I feel they will drop this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 3-1 in Big 10 play and needs to keep winning games to keep pace with Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. Wisconsin is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games played on Thursday. The home team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between Indiana and Wisconsin. |
|||||||
01-06-21 | Bulls v. Kings -7 | Top | 124-128 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
The Bulls are coming in on a back-to-back and they had a big win over Portland on the road where they were down big but came back to win. They expended a lot of energy in that game, and we don’t think they will have a lot left in the tank to be competitive here tonight. The Kings started off the season with a 3-1 record but have lost three straight. The last game was against the Warriors, where they were embarrassed in a blowout loss. This seems like a get right game for them against a fatigued opponent, and we think there’s a great chance for a double-digit win by the home team tonight. |
|||||||
01-06-21 | Rockets v. Pacers -1.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Rockets are 2-3 ATS on the season while the Pacers are 5-2 ATS. Indiana is quietly getting the job done while the Rockets are kind of a mess right now. Sacramento is the only team Houston has beaten this season. This line just seems like a very public line and the Rockets are the Name team here, and we had this line handicapped at 5, so we think there is very nice value with the short favorite. |
|||||||
01-06-21 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville -4.5 | 71-73 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #664 Louisville over Virginia Tech (6:30p.m., Wednesday, January 6 ACCN) Whenever you see an unranked team favored over a ranked team it is usually a strong angle that hits more often than not. The Cardinals have gotten healthy despite some issues in December and they are always a tough team to beat at home. Virginia Tech is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games. Louisville is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games. |
|||||||
01-05-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This isn’t your father’s Spurs team. This team has been getting worse every year for the last few years, and we think this might be a bottom out season where they don’t even sniff a playoff spot. This team is really struggling right now with four straight losses. They are in tough tonight against a Clippers team that might be the most motivated in the NBA here at the start of the season. They look like the second of third best team in the NBA this season and look even better than last year’s squad that flamed out in The Bubble. We think there’s a great chance for a double digit win here. |
|||||||
01-05-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan State -1 | 45-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Michigan State over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, January 5 ESPN2) Never thought I would see day where Michigan State is just a slight favorite at home against Rutgers. The Spartans are just 1-3 in conference play, but 3 of their first 4 games have been on the road. Losing to Wisconsin at home is nothing to worry about, as the Badgers have experience and may be the best team in the conference. Rutgers has played a brutal schedule as well and that will hurt them in this game. Rutgers is still a little banged up as well. Michigan State gets a much needed win at home and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Kings -2 v. Warriors | 106-137 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Curry is going to have to carry this team for awhile as was evidenced by their best game of the season last night as he set a career high for scoring. But on a back-to-back tonight we think he will cool off a bit and Sacramento is an underrated team They have some impressive wins to start the season, but they are coming off B2B losses vs. Houston and they will be motivated tonight. And they will be the more rested team and should coast to a comfortable win tonight. |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Cavs v. Magic -5 | Top | 83-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
Cleveland has been playing well to start the season, but they are facing a team tonight that doesn’t get a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, and this line is too low in our opinion. Orlando has an identical 4-2 record than that of the Cavs and are also 4-2 ATS. This team is a playoff contender though, and we can’t say that about Cleveland. After beating Atlanta SU last time, this looks like a letdown spot for a Cavs team that won’t be as motivated by their opponent. Orlando is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Blazers v. Warriors +5.5 | Top | 122-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
These teams played Friday, and Portland came out with a blowout victory. There are a lot of teams facing each other in consecutive games, and the team that lost the last time normally gives a better effort the next game. We think this one will be more competitive. The Blazers probably won’t come with as much intensity after the easy win, and the Warriors will probably come with much better effort and intensity. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Clippers -3.5 v. Suns | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
During the Bubble restart of last NBA season, the Clippers were great at bouncing back after a loss or bad game, and that trend has followed here into this new season as they played well in the game after that Dallas loss. Now they come in off a loss again, and they face a Suns team that has been really good since the restart and the new season. But there’s a reason LA is favored here as they are the better team and probably much better when the teams are playing their A Games, which we think LA will bring tonight after a loss where they played well but the shots just didn’t drop. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Ohio State v. Minnesota +1 | 60-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #840 Minnesota over Ohio State (5:30p.m., Sunday, January 3 BTN) Expect the Golden Gophers to bounce back at home against Ohio State today. This has been a trend in the Big 10, where teams play outstanding one game, looked terrible the next. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games between Ohio State and Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have covered 4 straight home games. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Packers -5 v. Bears | Top | 35-16 | Win | 100 | 119 h 7 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #105 Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 3 FOX) The Packers will need to win this game to clinch the No. 1 seed and earn the only bye in the NFC. Green Bay has won 8 of the last 9 games against Chicago and crushed them in the first meeting in November at Lambeau Field. The favorite is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings between Green Bay and Chicago. The Bears are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning record. QB Rodgers cements his legacy as the 2020 MVP with another outstanding performance and a double-digit Packers victory. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Jaguars v. Colts -14 | 14-28 | Push | 0 | 119 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #104 Indianapolis Colts over Jacksonville Jaguars (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Colts need to win and also need help or they will be on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoffs. Jacksonville is terrible and has already thrown in the towel on their 2020 season getting the No. 1 draft pick. This will be a 20+ point victory for the Colts and we will not hesitate to lay the points in this game. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Celtics -8.5 v. Pistons | 122-120 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Detroit. One of those losses was last time out as the Celtics had an off game and lost to Detroit in a low-scoring game. The Celtics have been one of the best ATS teams in the NBA for years, and they are easy to trust. Especially coming off a loss in a rematch against one of the lesser teams in the NBA. We think this is a great chance for a double-digit win by the road team. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Steelers v. Browns -7.5 | 22-24 | Loss | -100 | 116 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #110 Cleveland Browns over Pittsburgh Steelers (1p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Browns got a gift with Pittsburgh winning last week and now the Steelers can rest up for the playoffs and not try and win this game. The line has skyrocketed but it will not matter with Cleveland winning this game by double-digits. Pittsburgh has dominated this series, but this is not the same Cleveland doormat that they have been for the last two decades. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Steelers will show some fight early but in the end Cleveland will pull away and make the playoffs with a dominating win. |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Dolphins +4.5 v. Bills | 26-56 | Loss | -106 | 116 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #123 Miami Dolphins over Buffalo Bills (1p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Dolphins have a lot more to play for in this game, as Buffalo will likely be the No. 2 seed with Pittsburgh not playing to win on Sunday. It would be a remarkable accomplishment for this Miami team to make the playoffs and they will do that with a win. Miami is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against AFC teams. Buffalo is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | North Carolina +7.5 v. Texas A&M | 27-41 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #497 North Carolina Tar Heels over Texas A&M Aggies (8p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Orange Bowl Everyone expects a letdown in this game for Texas A&M since they did not get into the College Football Playoff, and now they must face a high scoring offense in North Carolina. We will grab the points with the Tar Heels, as Mack Brown is familiar with the Aggies have played them numerous times in the Big 12 while he was the head coach at Texas. North Carolina underachieved this season, but I believe they will play a complete game tonight and take this one down to the wire. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Knicks +9.5 v. Pacers | Top | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
This is a rematch from the first game of the season, which was not long ago, so revenge could be a factor here. The Knicks are improved this season. They beat Milwaukee recently in a blowout win. They have won two of three and they held tough with Toronto last time out until the fourth quarter. This team need to be more consistent, but we think this is too many points tonight. The Knicks are playing with more confidence this season, and we think they will be a live dog when getting massive points in certain spots. |

6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. |

01-01-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Warriors | 123-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Blazers haven’t been dominant to start the season, but this team is much improved from last year. And we can’t forget this team made the West Finals two years ago. They are hungry and we think they are the much better team here in this matchup. They have had a super tough schedule do far, and this is arguably their easiest game of the season so far. The Warriors have won two straight against inferior competition. But we think this team still has a lot to work on. We think they will get better later in the season, but for right now are a team to fade while they work out their kinks.  |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Clippers -3 v. Jazz | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
It’s hard to justify when a team lost by so many points like they did to Dallas, but this Clippers team is playing as good of basketball as any team in the NBA. They have had one of the toughest schedules in the NBA to start off the season, but they have won their games very comfortably. They have covered all their games except of course that Dallas loss. Utah is on a back-to-back here and they didn’t play well against the Suns last night. This team has covered only one game so far, and the Jazz are notorious for their slow starts. LA is playing with a chip on their shoulders and they look to prove all the doubters wrong that criticized them after last season’s flameout. We think they take care of business again tonight. |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | Top | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 75 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #334 Clemson Tigers over Ohio State Buckeyes (8p.m., Friday, January 1 ESPN) Sugar Bowl This is a rematch of the semi-final game last year in which questionable officiating allowed Clemson to emerge victorious. But in 2020 I just do not see the same Ohio State team that have been so explosive in year’s past. Clemson had a 541-263 yardage edge against Notre Dame and that game was never in doubt after the first quarter. Everyone thinks Ohio State will be motivated for revenge and the diss that Dabo Sweeny gave them by ranking them No. 11 in the coaches poll, but in the end talent wins out. |

01-01-21 | Notre Dame +20 v. Alabama | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 71 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #331 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Alabama Crimson Tide (4p.m., Friday, January 1 ESPN) Rose Bowl Nobody is giving Notre Dame a chance in this game, but I believe they will be able to score some points against this Alabama defense. The Tide have been lit up on defense a couple of times this season and Notre Dame has an offense capable of scoring 30 points against them. The Irish are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Alabama is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played during the month of January. The Tide might be up big at some point in this game, I just believe Notre Dame will keep it in the teens once 60 minutes are completed. |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Knicks v. Raptors -8.5 | Top | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
The Raptors are winless on the season at 0-3. However, this is a championship contender team that has been one of the best ATS teams in the league the last couple years and this looks like a Get Right game for them. The Raptors have started off the season with games against three straight playoff contenders, and two of those games have been on the road, not in their new home base. The Knicks are a better team this year but this squad still has a long way to go, and they should face up against a very motivated Toronto team tonight. This very much has the look of a double-digit blowout game. The Knicks are 0-7 ATS in the last seven meetings away from the Garden and 2-8 ATS overall in the last 10 meetings. |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -8 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Wisconsin over Minnesota (4:30p.m., Thursday, December 31 BTN) The Badgers are coming off a bad performance last time out against Maryland but expect them to bounce back today against Minnesota and win this game by double digits. Minnesota is coming off their best performance of the year dominating Michigan State from start to finish. Just do not believe they will be able to duplicate that performance on Thursday and against a team desperate to get back on track. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Wisconsin is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Thursday. |

12-31-20 | Ball State v. San Jose State -7.5 | 34-13 | Loss | -114 | 215 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #322 San Jose State Spartans over Ball State Cardinals (2p.m., Thursday, December 31 CBS) Arizona Bowl Ball State is coming off their Super Bowl two weeks ago winning the MAC Championship in surprising fashion over Buffalo. Not sure how much left in the tank they will have for this game. The Spartans are explosive on offense led by QB Nick Starkel, who has 16 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions in 7 games played this season. Ball State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. San Jose State is 12-3 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 17 games. |

12-30-20 | Bucks v. Heat +5.5 | Top | 108-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Bucks got their revenge over the Heat last night in a complete and utter blowout by almost 50 points. But now it’s time for the Heat to get some revenge from that horrible loss. The Bucks jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and were up by 30+ at halftime, and it was garbage time from there on out. But this NBA season is unique and we will see these types of back-to-backs often, and it is hard to beat a team two nights in a row, especially at their own place. The Heat have one of the NBA’s best coaches, and he should be able to make adjustments for his team to be more competitive. Milwaukee set an NBA record for made 3-pointers, and they isn’t going to happen two nights in a row. Miami is a proud team that was just in the NBA Finals, and we think they will bring their A Game here after that embarrassing result. The Bucks aren’t in midseason form right now as they just lost to the Knicks by 20. Jimmy Butler could conceivably be back here for Miami, so that would aid their chances for an outright win. The Bucks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 visits to Miami. |

12-30-20 | Wisconsin v. Wake Forest +6.5 | Top | 42-28 | Loss | -108 | 189 h 10 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #312 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Wisconsin Badgers (12p.m., Wednesday, December 30 ESPN) Duke Mayo Bowl We have faded Wisconsin in their last two games and easily covered both games. Wisconsin has quarterback issues, banged up wide receivers, and running backs that are not explosive. They have a solid defense, but they have yet to face an offense as up-tempo and explosive like Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are coming off a bad performance against the Cardinals, but that final score is a little misleading (Louisville scored 17 points in the last 17 minutes of that game). Wake Forest is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 bowl games. Wisconsin is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games as a favorite. If Wake Forest can take care of the football, they should be able to take this game down to the wire and win it straight-up. |

12-29-20 | Wolves v. Clippers -10 | Top | 101-124 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
We like to back a good team coming off a bad loss, and that is the case here with the Clippers tonight. They suffered one of the worst losses in franchise history last time out against the Mavs. They just didn’t come to play and it had to be embarrassing for the players. This team will come out well prepared tonight. They have had probably the toughest schedule in the league to start off the season and are at 2-1 against it, and they won’t overlook the Wolves after that effort against Dallas. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Warriors -4 v. Pistons | 116-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Both teams have had a rough start, but the Warriors are the better team and Detroit is coming in on a back-to-back. The Warriors have had a much tougher schedule to start the season. We think they will take advantage of this weaker opponent on a B2B and take care of business tonight with a comfortable win. Only one of these teams is a legit playoff contender, and that’s not the Pistons. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Purdue v. Rutgers -3 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Rutgers over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, December 29 FS1) Just do not feel Purdue is the same team when playing on the road. Purdue has done most of their damage at home this season and they have yet to win a true road game this season (lost to Miami and Iowa). Rutgers is coming off their first loss of the season to Ohio State, and that final score of 80-68 did not reflect how competitive that game was. Rutgers has come injury issues but I believe they will bounce back playing at the RAC tonight. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 games as an underdog. Rutgers is 13-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 20 home games. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Oklahoma State v. Miami-FL +2.5 | 37-34 | Loss | -109 | 171 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #296 Miami Hurricanes over Oklahoma State Cowboys (5:30p.m., Tuesday, December 29 ESPN) Cheez-it Bowl The Hurricanes have lost 3 straight bowl games and I feel it is important for Many Diaz to right the ship in this game. Miami has the advantage of playing in-state for this game and there will be fans in attendance. I am a big fan of D’Eriq King and expect him to bounce back in a big way tonight after a bad performance against UNC last time out. Oklahoma State beat Iowa State but that was their only quality win on the season and I just think Miami has a big edge at the quarterback position. The Pokes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Miami is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Blazers +4 v. Lakers | Top | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
One of the best bets and the strongest trends in the NBA since we began handicapping almost 20 years ago is the Blazers ATS against the Lakers. They have covered 21 of the last 19 meetings in LA, and no matter the strength of the teams, they always bring their A Game when playing the Lakers. The Lakers are on a B2B, Anthony Davis is banged up, and this team is always overrated by the oddsmakers. We think the Blazers can win this one outright. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Michigan State -2.5 v. Minnesota | 56-81 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #837 Michigan State over Minnesota (8p.m., Monday, December 28 BTN) These are the type of games Michigan State always seems to win over the coaching tenure of Tom Izzo. The Spartans have yet to win a conference game this year and this is an important game for them. Minnesota is coming off a miraculous win over Iowa and I believe they will come back down from that reality tonight. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Michigan State and Minnesota. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Grizzlies v. Nets -5 | 116-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Nets are coming in on a back-to-back and are being punished too much for the fact by the oddsmakers. They lost to Charlotte last night, and we think this could be the best team in the NBA and they aren’t going to lose many games this season, so we think they will bounce back nicely here. This is early in the season, so B2B’s don’t really matter that much, and we expect Brooklyn to bring some nice energy in a potential double-digit win. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Pistons +10 v. Hawks | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
2-0 team against an 0-2 team, but this line is simply too big. Detroit will come to play tonight to give themselves the best chance to avoid going 0-3. This isn’t a good team. But we are not convinced that the Hawks are good, either, as they have beat up on two mediocre teams to start the season. We had this line handicapped at 7.5, so we think there is some nice value here as we expect the Pistons to put up a fight and keep this one within double digits. |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Maryland +9.5 v. Wisconsin | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #831 Maryland over Wisconsin (7p.m., Monday, December 28 FS1) Wisconsin is coming off an emotional win Thursday and Michigan State and it would not surprise me if a letdown occurred in this spot. They will win this game but if they are not shooting a high percentage from the arc, I do not see a double-digit blowout. Maryland is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Suns -3 v. Kings | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Another situation where these teams played the night before. And we think the better team (Suns), who lost last night, will play better and get the win. It’s telling that the odds have not changed much even though Sacramento won last night. It’s hard to beat a team twice in two nights, especially when that losing team is the better squad. |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Titans v. Packers -3 | Top | 14-40 | Win | 100 | 125 h 24 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #480 Green Bay Packers over Tennessee Titans (8:20p.m., Sunday, December 27 NBC) Green Bay has the No. 1 seed in sight if they win this game tonight and I see no reason not to lay this small number with the best team in the NFC. QB Tannehill has played outstanding this season but he is not in the same league as Aaron Rogers, the likely MVP of the league. Green Bay has been jumping out early on teams of late and I see them doing the same as well in this game. They will need to stop the run-on defense, but their defense last been playing better of late as well. The Titans are 3-13 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 games played during Week 16 of the regular season. Green Bay is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. The Packers win this game by 7-10 points and lay claim to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Magic v. Wizards +1.5 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
We are going to see some strange scheduling stuff in the NBA this season, and here we are. These teams played here yesterday. The Magic won, but we just don’t see that happening twice in a row on the Wizards home court. Washington is a team we are high on to start the season, and we don’t see them playing two bad games consecutively against the same team. And now we are getting points instead od laying them. |
