12-07-23 | Pacers v. Bucks -5 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
We were unsure how serious teams would take the in season tournament, but some teams did take it seriously, and now that we are close to the finals we think teams will start to take it very seriously. And while the Pacers are a very solid club and their offense is almost unprecedented, with both teams playing at their best, we think Milwaukee is the much better team. They had some new pieces to acclimate on the team but you get the sense recently this team is turning the corner. They scored their highest point total of the season last time out, 146-122, against the Knicks in tourney action. New York is one of the best defensive teams in the league. While it might not be evident when looking at final scores, they have been improving on the defensive side. The Pacers are all offense but not defense. The Bucks can match the Pacers on offense but they have a defensive edge that will be the difference in this game in Las Vegas today. |

12-06-23 | South Carolina +8.5 v. Clemson | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #717 South Carolina over Clemson (8p.m., Wednesday, December 6 ACCN) This battle of South Carolina should be closer than what the experts believe. Both teams are undefeated and I just do not see a double digit victory for the home team. Carolina already has some major conference wins against Virginia Tech, DePaul, and Notre Dame. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Knicks +5.5 v. Bucks | 122-146 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
The Bucks are still a work in progress and we feel this team is focused on building a team that will win a championship once the postseason comes around and we aren’t sure how invested they are in the in-season tournament. Last meeting the Bucks were hitting their threes at a very high rate and still didn’t blow the Knicks out. We expect a close game here and the Bucks are weak defensively but they are going to put up points. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Michigan State | 70-57 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #611 Wisconsin over Michigan State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 5 Peacock) These two teams have had great battles over the last decade and many of those games have come down to the wire. Michigan State is not the same team as they will be later in the year and they have lost to every good team that they have played this season. Expect a low scoring game and getting over 5 points is too good to pass up with this veteran Wisconsin team. |
|||||||
12-03-23 | Cardinals v. Steelers -5.5 | 24-10 | Loss | -109 | 119 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #458 Pittsburgh Steelers over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, December 3 CBS) The Cardinals are not very good, and I believe that the Steelers were rejuvenated last week with a road win and a new offensive coordinator. This will be a tough task for Arizona to win a road game in the northeast in December when it will be cold outside. Pittsburgh has beaten Arizona four straight times (4-0 ATS) including in the super bowl. The Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Pittsburgh is due for a blowout win and it will come on Sunday by double digits. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -4.5 | 112-113 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
This is the second of a home-and-home and we think the Clippers will come out on top in the rematch, with style points. This team is healthy and this is the longest stretch PG and Leonard have played together since they joined the Clippers. Chemistry seems to be improving for between the players. The Warriors are a bit banged up here, and it’s tough to beat a team twice in a row. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama +6 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 98 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #318 Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (4p.m., Saturday, December 2 CBS) SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME This likely will be a winner take all game, as Alabama looks to unseat Georgia for the second time in the last 3 SEC Championship games. Alabama was fortunate to survive last week against Auburn, but I believe they will take that momentum into this game. I believe Alabama has the better quarterback in this game, as Jalen Milroe can beat you with his arm or his legs. Alabama’s offense live has been playing much better of late and I just believe Georgia lost too much talent from last year to run the table in 2023 without suffering a loss. Georgia has played an easy schedule this season without having to face Oklahoma in the nonconference portion of the season and they will hit adversity in this game. Alabama has won 7 of the last 8 games in this matchup and they will win and march onto the College Football Playoff. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Boise State -2 v. UNLV | 44-20 | Win | 100 | 97 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #313 Boise State Broncos over UNLV Rebels (3p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) MOUNTAIN WEST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Who would have believed at the start of that UNLV would be hosting the Mountain West Championship Game! Now they get to face the best team in the league since they joined the Mountain West and look for Boise State to finish the season with 4 straight wins. The Broncos have seen much improvement since making a coaching change and UNLV is coming off a bad home loss to San Jose State last time out. UNLV has overachieved much of the season but look for them to come back to reality on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | North Dakota State v. Montana State -2.5 | 35-34 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #308962 Montana St -2.5 over North Dakota St (3:00p.m., Saturday December 2 ESPN+) FCS Playoffs. Completely shocked on why this game dropped to 2.5 and as I type one book moved to -2 so maybe wait to throw down on some FCS Playoff game. Both teams can score and score quickly but in the second half is when I see the Bobcats control the game and again, I'm laying this low number. As long as the Bobcats can control the Bison QB Cam Miller I see them advancing in the FCS Playoffs. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Marquette v. Wisconsin +3.5 | 64-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin over Marquette (12:30p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) Gettting a field goal with a home underdog is too good to pass up. Wisconsin beat Marquette last year in Milwaukee and they return everyone from that squad. The Badgers need this game more, since they do not have many quality wins on the season. Look for Wisconsin to use their size down low and they will win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Connecticut v. Kansas -2.5 | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #878 Kansas over Connecticut (9p.m., Friday, December 1 ESPN2) Connecticut has played a weak schedule thus far but it is going to get hard the next two games against Kansas and North Carolina. Playing in Kansas is always a tough task and look for the Jayhawks to emerge victorious since they have a great home court edge. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Oregon v. Washington +10 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306 Washington Huskies over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Friday, December 1 ABC) PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHP GAME All the value is now with Washington, as this line skyrocketed over the weekend with the performance Washington had in the Apple Cup. People are lining up to bet Oregon and this line is just too high in my opinion. Washington already beat Oregon once this season and they have a fully capable quarterback that can match Bo Nix stat for stat. The Huskies have the motivation to play well since they will be hearing all week that they do not have any chance to win this game. Washington has a long winning streak and many of their games stay under the posted total allowing a strong play with a live underdog. Oregon does not have many quality wins this season, they just pass the eye test. That will not be enough to blow out Washington. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
We like to back a good team off an embarrassing loss, and we aren’t sure the Clippers are a good team but they have talent that can’t be denied. They had one of their worst losses of the Kawhi era last time out against a banged up Denver squad. We think they will give max effort here against a Kings squad that played a tough game last night. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Tennessee v. North Carolina -2 | 92-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #678 North Carolina over Tennessee (7:15p.m., Wednesday, November 29 ESPN) Always like to play North Carolina at home in the nonconference portion of the season. Tennessee has issues and went 1-2 in Hawaii. Carolina went 2-1 in the Bahamas and playing this game at home is a big advantage. Tennessee struggled to score points in Hawaii, and I see them losing this game by close to double digits on Wednesday. |
|||||||
11-28-23 | Rider v. Maryland -16.5 | 76-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #606 Maryland over Rider (7p.m., Tuesday, November 18 BTN+) The Terrapins sit at 3-3 on the season and need to string together some nonconference wins to get a more respectable record. Tonight, should be a perfect opportunity for a 20+ point victory. Rider is a terrible team that will enter having lost 4 straight games and are just collecting check with 6 straight road games. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Sixers have won nine of the last 10 meetings and covered in seven of those games. The Sixers are a more complete team at this point of the season. The Lakers two stars are banged up for this game, and LeBron could miss the game. We like the Sixers for a big win whether LeBron and AD play or not. Every team gives their best effort against the Lakers, but this is just another game for LA, who is trying to work out the kinks. This team is definitely focused on the postseason more than the regular season. Philly has been one of the best betting teams this season, and they are undervalued again today. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Boston didn’t win the cup last season, but this is the team that most opponents get hyped to play. Are you going to get more hyped if Boston or Vegas comes to town? The answer is obvious. Columbus is playing their best hockey of the season recently. They have won two of the last three, including a road win in New Jersey, and they have covered the puckline in five of their last seven losses. The Bruins are playing their worst stretch of hockey recently. They have lost three of the last four. Their defense has dropped from the No. 1 spot after allowing 12 goals in their last two games. The Blue Jackets have won of covered the puckline in three of the last four visits from the Bruins. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Ducks v. Oilers -1.5 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Anaheim has been very streaky but they are on a definite downswing of poor form right now as they have lost five straight. Edmonton has had a very difficult schedule lately but they demolished a Washington team that had been playing well, 5-0, on the road. We think the positive momentum will continue here. Once the offense starts working, this team is going to start stacking wins, and they haven’t scored fewer than three goals in the last seven. We think the Washington win can be a springboard for this team. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Hawks v. Celtics -7.5 | 103-113 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Boston has covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. They match up well with the Hawks, who are one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA this season at 5-10 ATS. This line is more than fair on Sunday as we expect the Celtics to score a double-digit win. Boston has struggled ATS recently but they have had a road heavy schedule. Some home cooking is just what the doctor ordered today. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Bills v. Eagles -3 | 34-37 | Push | 0 | 98 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #268 Philadelphia Eagles over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) The Bills are still a public team and thus get overvalued for the talent they have. They pounded the Jets, but now must face the best team in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles do not lose games at home, and they are better on both sides of the ball. We will lay the field goal in this game. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Jaguars -1 v. Texans | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 94 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #251 Jacksonville Jaguars over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) TOP FOOTBALL PLAY OF THE WEEKEND Houston should have lost last week to Arizona, as CJ Stroud played his worst game as a professional. Now they face the divisional leader Jaguars, a team that just destroyed the Titans last time out. Just feel the Texans will hit a wall in the later portion of the season. The Jaguars have won 8 straight games playing outside of Jacksonville (8-0 ATS as well). Houston is not ready for primetime, and Trevor Lawrence and company will lock up the division with a victory today. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Arizona -10.5 v. Arizona State | 59-23 | Win | 100 | 97 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #195 Arizona Wildcats over Arizona State Sun Devils (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 25 ESPN) The territorial cup features the Wildcats as clearly the best team in this matchup for the first time in quite some time. Arizona has won 5 straight games and will know by kickoff if they have a chance to play in the PAC-12 Championship Game next Friday in Las Vegas. ASU played Oregon last week and expect there to be a lingering effect from that game into this game. It is a rivalry and ASU will be up for this game, but Arizona is just too talented on both sides of the football for that to matter. The Wildcats showed last week they are not afraid to run up the score and they will win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Ohio State v. Michigan -3.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 94 h 0 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #142 Michigan Wolverines over Ohio State Buckeyes (12p.m., Saturday, November 25 FOX) This game is for all the marbles with the winner winning the Big 10 Championship Game next week and a ticket to the playoffs. Ohio State has been one dimensional on offense and whoever runs the football better wins this game (happened over 20 years in a row). Ohio State is 8th in the Big 10 in rushing this season. I feel Michigan is better in all 3 phases of the game especially on special teams. Ohio State has Marvin Harrison, but their quarterback is subpar and I just do not believe he can beat them with his arm. Michigan against the world continues, as the Wolverines advance to the playoff with a double-digit victory at the Big House. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Oregon State v. Oregon -13 | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #136 Oregon Ducks over Oregon State Beavers (8:30p.m., Friday, November 24 FOX) The Civil War has both teams strong this season, but Oregon is just better. The Beavers faltered to move the football last week against a weak Washington defense. Now they must have their rival and a team that may be the best in the country. Oregon is 12-3 straight-up in their last 15 games against Oregon State. Bo Nix is looking to win the Heisman and expect him to light up the scoreboard and make a statement in this game. Sooner or later Oregon will get hot on offense and win this game by 20+ points. The Ducks need to run up the scoreboard in order to impress the selection committee. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Baylor -2.5 v. Florida | 95-91 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #859 Baylor over Florida (5:30p.m., Friday, November ESPN) Baylor has better guards in this game and will take care of business at the Barclays Center and win the NIT Tip-off Championship. The Gators already have a loss to an so-so Virginia team in a netural site and they are not in the same class as Baylor. Scott Drew always seems to go on a long winning streak to open the season and 2023 should be no different. All of Baylor’s 5 wins have come over the posted number. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Stanford v. Michigan -2.5 | 78-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #768 Michigan over Stanford (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 ESPN2) Michigan is the fresher team in this game and that will be the difference in this battle to earn a chance for fifth place in the consolation round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Stanford is coming off a double overtime loss to Arkansas yesterday and I do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game. Michigan does not want to lose three straight games and thus expect them to take care of business on Thursday night. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Commanders +11.5 v. Cowboys | 10-45 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #107 Washington Commanders over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 CBS) We will grab the double-digits in this divisional matchup in a short week for both teams. Washington is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as an underdog. Dallas has blown out bad teams all season long, but that just cannot continue to happen for a 17-game season. QB Sam Howell has some ability and if he can play a clean game Washington should be able to keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Mavs -3 v. Lakers | 104-101 | Push | 0 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Dallas -3 over LA Lakers (10:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Dallas is well rested, while the Lakers are on a B2B. We think Dallas is the better squad at this point of the season, and they normally bring their A Game against the Lakers, as they are 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Not only does Dallas get up for the Lakers, but they will be anxious to snap their two-game losing streak. Best of Luck, Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Kings -1.5 v. Pelicans | 112-117 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play Take Sacramento -1.5 over New Orleans (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) We were on the Kings last time these teams played on Monday, and Sacramento didn't show up and suffered their worst loss of the season. This is a better team than New Orleans, it's difficult to beat the same team in consecutive games in the NBA, and we love to back good teams after an embarrassing loss. We expect a big bounce back from the Kings tonight and think they get a comfortable win. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Bulls v. Thunder -7 | 102-116 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play Take Oklahoma City -7 over Chicago (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Chicago is a team to fade almost every game. This team just stinks despite some nice talent, and they have maybe the worst chemistry in the NBA. We have been hesitant to play OKC too much because they have turned into the hunted rather than the hunter, but they just continue to be one of the best bets in the NBA. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Grizzlies v. Rockets -5 | 91-111 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Houston -5 over Memphis (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Houston had a six-game winning streak but followed that up with three straight losses. Those were all on the road against some of the favorites in the West, and they covered in all three of those games. Now they take a big step down in talent and we think this is a great bounce back spot against a Memphis team that has all sorts of problems at the moment. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Hawks | 145-147 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Brooklyn +3.5 over Atlanta (7:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Easy call here. This is one of the best ATS teams (Brooklyn, 9-3-1 ATS) against one of the worst (Atlanta, 4-9 ATS). This is a very winnable game for the road team, and Brooklyn pretty much brings the same effort on a nightly basis while the Hawks can't say the same. Brooklyn is well rested, while the Hawks played in a track meet last night. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Tennessee v. Kansas -1 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Kansas over Tennessee (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 22 ESPN) Kansas needs to win today to avoid recording no quality wins for the Maui Invitational. The Jayhawks have the size and strength to matchup with the Volunteers down low and they are more skilled on the perimeter. Â |
|||||||
11-21-23 | Bowling Green -2 v. Western Michigan | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #103 Bowling Green Falcons over Western Michigan Broncos (7p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPNU) The Falcons are going bowling and took Toledo to the wire last week. They will enter this game having won 4 of their last 5 games. Western Michigan cannot become bowl eligible even if they win this game on senior night and thus, I do not expect them to come out strong in this game. The Broncos have not beaten many of the top teams in the league in 2023 and tonight should be no different. The Falcons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-21-23 | Syracuse +13 v. Gonzaga | 57-76 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #651 Syracuse over Gonzaga (2:30p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPN2) Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in year’s past. Syracuse should have covered yesterday a similar number to what they will see today against a better Tennessee team. Gonzaga is disappointed they did not make the semifinals and thus playing for fifth place will not excite them much for this game. Take the points in the consolation bracket. |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Eagles v. Chiefs -2.5 | Top | 21-17 | Loss | -125 | 148 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Kansas City Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Monday, November 20 ABC) This is a rematch of Super Bowl 57 and I look for the Chiefs to win this game again. Philadelphia has been winning ugly much of the season and it will catch up to them in this game. Andy Reid is 27-4 in his career following a bye week. Kansas City is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against NFC teams. Coach Reid will enjoy beating his former team for the second time in less than a year. |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Wisconsin +3.5 v. Virginia | 65-41 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #887 Wisconsin over Virginia (6p.m., Monday, November 20 FS1) Wisconsin and Virginia have very similar styles and sooner or later Wisconsin is going to cover a spread with all their experience. Virginia lost a lot of talent from last year and will struggle to score 70 points in this game. Whoever shoots it better from the arc will win and I look for that to be Wisconsin. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Thunder -6.5 v. Blazers | 134-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
OKC has covered in seven of the last eight meetings. They have won six of seven and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. And those were no bottom feeders, either, as they scored B2B wins over the Warriors, beat the Suns, and also the Cavs. Portland has lost three straight by double digits and they are in for a long night tonight. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Sabres v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two struggling teams, but we think it’s worth it to buy the goals for the home team tonight. These teams normally play close games. The last three meetings all went to OT, and five of the last six meetings were decided by one goal. The Sabres have won only one meeting in the last 12 visits to Chicago. We think the home team has a decent chance to win outright but we don’t see them getting blown out. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Chargers v. Packers +3 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 117 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #456 Green Bay Packers over Los Angeles Chargers (1p.m., Sunday, November 19 FOX) The Chargers got lit up by the Lions last Sunday at home and I feel this game will do down to the wire at Lambeau Field. The Chargers are close to making a coaching change and look for the Packers to win their second straight game at home on Sunday. Green Bay has covered 3 straight home games when they are on an underdog. This game will be close and I just feel the Chargers will find a way to lose it, something they have done through most of Brandon Staley’s tenure. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Titans v. Jaguars -6.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 117 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #460 Jacksonville Jaguars over Tennessee Titans (1p.m., Sunday, November 19 CBS) The Jaguars laid an egg last week against the 49ers but should find things much easier against the Titans on Sunday at home. Tennessee is pot committed to Will Levis and he is a risk taker and that will bite him in this game. The Titans are 1-4 in their last 5 games and will lose this one by double digits. They are playing their third straight road game and the Jags have won 5 of their last 6 games. Jacksonville swept Tennessee in 2022 and they will bounce back and force the Titans to beat them through the air. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Wolves -6.5 v. Pelicans | 121-120 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Minnesota has covered four straight in this series and five of the last six. Of course we understand that the Pelicans just beat the defending champs and come in on a two-game win streak. But this team hasn’t shown any consistency this season and they are probably overconfident now. This win streak followed a four-game losing streak that saw them get blown out three times. Minnesota is the much better team right now, and this line is evidence of that as the oddsmakers aren’t putting too much stock in the win over Denver. And neither are we. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Utah +2 v. Arizona | Top | 18-42 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #367 Utah Utes over Arizona Wildcats (2:30p.m., Saturday, November 18 PAC12N) TOP NCAA FOOTBALL PLAY OF THE WEEK. Arizona has been on a roll and will enter this game having won 4 straight games. This will be the toughest team they faced in their last 5 games, as Utah will not self-destruct like UCLA, Oregon State and Washington State did. The Utes are extremely well coached and I feel the Wildcats are playing a little over their heads at the moment. They have had a great season, but this is a team that lost to Mississippi State earlier this season (just fired their coach). The spread tells me that the Wildcats are not as good as their record would indicate, and reality will hit them in this game. Jedd Fisch is a hot coaching commodity and should win Pac 12 Coach of the Year, but the overachievers take a step back on Saturday. Utah has beaten Arizona six straight times (5-1 ATS). Utah is 15-3 in their last 18 road games when they are an opening line underdog. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Coastal Carolina v. Army +4.5 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 66 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #322 Army Black Knights over Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (12p.m., Saturday, November 18 CBSSN) This line is begging you to take Coastal Carolina, but we will not bite and instead side with the home underdog. Playing Army with only one week to prepare is always a difficult task, as team just do not see the triple option much anymore. Coastal Carolina has won 5 straight games, but only one of those wins came by over 10 points. They struggled to put away App State, Arkansas State, Old Dominion and Texas State. Army has won their last home game of the season 7 straight years. The Black Knights lost by just 10 points to Coastal Carolina last season and that was a better squad than what they will face on Saturday. |

11-18-23 | Xavier -2.5 v. Washington | 71-74 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #879 Xavier over Washington (11:59p.m., Friday, November 17 ESPN2) No bet against Washington is bad bet. They have a lame duck coach, and he is trying to get away from the zone defense he is long accustomed to too. They got dominated at home by Nevada and now must travel to Las Vegas to face a well-coached Xavier team. Sean Miller is very familiar with Washington having coached many years in Arizona. Look for the Musketeers to jump out early and win this game by close to double-digits. |

11-16-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Heat | Top | 115-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Miami has been racking up the wins lately, but four of those games came against four of the worst teams in the NBA so far this season. They take a big step up in class tonight and this should be a very tough game for them. Brooklyn has won five straight meetings with Miami. The Nets are 9-1-1 ATS on the season. This team doesn’t have any big names so they don’t get respect from the oddsmakers, but they compete hard every night and play with a true team mentality. They also have plenty of talent and a roster of players that compliment each other. We think they have a great chance for the outright win tonight. Miami is not a good regular season team, and things have been going a little too well for them lately. |
|||||||
11-15-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Oilers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
The Oilers have now won two straight, including 4-1 at Seattle. This team was eventually going to put it together – there is too much talent on this squad for them not to. It looks like that time might be now, and they have a lot of ground to make up after a poor start and should be heavily motivated tonight. Edmonton has won five of six, and all the wins came by multiple goals. |
|||||||
11-15-23 | Knicks +1.5 v. Hawks | Top | 116-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Hawks have the better record right now but there’s no doubt to us that the Knicks are the better team. They already won comfortably here last month. They have been playing very well recently until they played their worst game of the season last time out on a back-to-back against Boston. But Boston is a Top 3 team in the NBA, and the Hawks should provide a nice opportunity to get back on track. This time the Hawks are on a B2B. And even though Young didn’t play last night (new father), the rest of the roster will have a tough time keeping up the pace against this physical Knicks team. |
|||||||
11-14-23 | Pacers +5.5 v. 76ers | 132-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Nice revenge spot for Indiana as they lost to Philly on Sunday. They were ahead for most of the game but the Sixers rallied in the fourth. It is really hard to beat a team in consecutive games, especially a strong team like the Pacers. Indiana had won three straight before that loss to Philly, and we think they will make the necessary adjustments to hang close or even win outright. |
|||||||
11-14-23 | Wisconsin v. Providence | 59-72 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #605 Wisconsin over Providence (6p.m., Tuesday, November 14 FS1) The Badgers are a brutal nonconference schedule and need to win this game against a rebuilding Friar team. Providence lost their coach and have new players and a new philosophy. Wisconsin should find things easier tonight compared to facing the ultra-athletic Tennessee team last Friday. Wisconsin makes some shots tonight and earn the victory. |
|||||||
11-13-23 | Knicks +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 98-114 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
Even though it has been at home, the Knicks have won three straight. And they have looked good in the process. And sometimes building confidence at home can translate to continued success on the road. We don’t doubt that New York will be hyped for this matchup even though they are on a B2B. But they easily dispatched Charlotte on Sunday and this game was early so not too intense a B2B. These teams opened the season against each other so this sets up a revenge scenario since Boston won the first one. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Sharks v. Ducks -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 127 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
San Jose is one of the worst puckline teams at 3-11 ATS as they get blown out on a nightly basis. We are getting a good number here because Anaheim stinks, too, but this team is miles ahead of the Sharks, who are one of the worst teams in NHL history. Anaheim is not in the position to take teams for granted, and we see them taking this opportunity for an easy, dominating win. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Grizzlies v. Clippers -8.5 | 105-101 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Tough to lay this many points with the Clippers with the way they have been playing. They came off a tough road trip winless. This is no Must Win this early in the season, but you sense this is a majorly important game with LA at 3-5. The good news is that all three of those wins came at home, all blowouts, and this Memphis team is certainly vulnerable to get rolled today. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | 49ers v. Jaguars +3 | 34-3 | Loss | -109 | 117 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #248 Jacksonville Jaguars over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, November 12 FOX) Both teams are coming off a bye, with the Jaguars red hot and the 49ers ice cold. Injuries are taking its toll on the team from the bay area, as San Francisco is realizing that Brock Prudy cannot carry this team without a bunch of talent around him. Jacksonville is on a 5-0 straight-up and 5-0 ATS run. San Francisco is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a bye. The Jaguars are 5-1 in their last 6 home games when they are an underdog. Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson are a strong combination and will only get better as the season and years go on. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Ole Miss v. Georgia -10.5 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 99 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #144 Georgia Bulldogs over Ole Miss Rebels (7p.m., Saturday, November 11 ESPN) Ole Miss has an offensive mindset and some good playmakers, but they struggled against Alabama scoring just 10 points. I see a similar situation today, as the Bulldogs are getting better and should win this game by double digits. Ole Miss just cannot keep up in the trenches and that will be the difference in this game. The Rebels are just 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games against ranked teams. It might not be pretty, but Georgia just do not lose games to inferior competition and Saturday between the hedges will be another victory. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Bucks v. Magic +4 | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Milwaukee has enjoyed a home-heavy schedule to start the season, and they haven’t been great on the road. They are also 1-6-1 ATS this season and have been overvalued by the oddsmakers. We think that is the case today. The Bucks will get their best shot from every opponent, and the Magic are an underrated team and 6-2 ATS on the season. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Michigan -4.5 v. Penn State | Top | 24-15 | Win | 100 | 92 h 37 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #149 Michigan Wolverines over Penn State Nittany Lions (12p.m., Saturday, November 11 FOX) We are fading the Penn State offense in this game. Michigan has not been tested and this will be the best defense that they have faced all season long. But Penn State looked terrible against Ohio State, and I believe Michigan has a better defense than the Buckeyes. The Wolverines have won the last two games and are 6-3 straight-up and 7-2 ATS stretching that out to 9 games. Michigan has an us against the world mentality with all the outside noise going on around the program. JJ McCarthy is a much better player than Drew Allar and the offensive weapons are much better for the Wolverines. Penn State got a raw deal with this being a 12 p.m. game instead of a white out game at night. That edge allows Michigan to dominate this game and win it by double digits. |
|||||||
11-10-23 | Tennessee v. Wisconsin +2.5 | 80-70 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #862 Wisconsin over Tennessee (9p.m., Friday, November 10 Peacock) Both teams return a bunch of talent from last year, but I just do not trust Tennessee and their Coach Rick Barnes. We have made a lot of money fading them in the past and this season should be no different. Wisconsin has the size and plays physical to matchup with Tennessee in the post and I am just not sure the Vols can make enough jump shots in a true road game. Wisconsin scored 105 points in their opening game of the season and that happened despite not making a 3-point basket in their first half. With a tough road game against Providence on deck, this is a game they need and will get it in a big way. |
|||||||
11-09-23 | Hawks -3.5 v. Magic | 120-119 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Love the Hawks in this spot. They are playing well, having won four of their last five, with the loss coming last time out at the Thunder. Orlando is a fine team, but they are still working a lot of things out early in the season and they just haven’t been consistent enough to trust against a team like Atlanta. The Hawks are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings, so they normally bring their A Game vs. the Magic. |
|||||||
11-08-23 | Celtics -1.5 v. 76ers | 103-106 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Boston has won and covered two straight in this series and seven of the last 10. We are getting a nice line tonight because Philly is 6-0 ATS, but they will not last forever. Boston always gets up for big games like this and we could see their best effort of the season so far. The Celtics have also been one of the best betting teams for several years, so they can usually be trusted in these spots. |
|||||||
11-07-23 | Penguins v. Ducks +1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Five of the last seven meetings have been one-goal games. We think the Pens are overrated on this line tonight and this should be a close game and the Ducks have every chance for the outright win. Anaheim has been good on home ice, and the Penguins have looked like a very average team on the road this season (the game at San Jose doesn’t count). |
|||||||
11-05-23 | Giants +2 v. Raiders | Top | 6-30 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 26 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #269 New York Giants over Las Vegas Raiders (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 5 FOX) NFL GAME OF THE YEAR The Raiders are a mess, and we liked this play even before they fired their coach, offensive coordinator, and General Manager. Throw in they are starting a rookie at quarterback in Aiden O’Connell, and I see them really struggling on offense this entire game. Las Vegas is coming off back-to-back double-digit losses, and one of those was against the Bears. Finally, the Raiders have no home field advantage playing in Las Vegas, and expect a lot of Giants fans in attendance for this game. The Giants did everything they could to lose a game that had over a 95% chance of winning last week. They could not muster any passing game, yet their defense played the best game of the year. The Jets offense is a lot like the Raiders offense, and I see another strong game from the Giants on Sunday. Danny Dimes is back, and that gives the Giants a much better chance to move the football via the air. He can run or pass, and he will need to utilize both in this game. The Giants are 17-8 in their last 25 games as a road underdog, including 9-0 during this streak when facing losing teams. They are 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games against AFC teams. New York is also 4-1 ATS when facing foes coming off a Monday Night Football game. The Giants win this game, and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
11-05-23 | Seahawks v. Ravens -5.5 | 3-37 | Win | 100 | 119 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #456 Baltimore Ravens over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, November 5 CBS) Lamar Jackson dominates the NFC and look for that to continue on Sunday. He is 16-1 in his career straight up when facing NFC teams. The Ravens have led at halftime in 7 of their 8 games this season and their defense is one of the top units in the league. Seattle did not look that impressive last week at home against Cleveland and they played poorly when they traveled to Cincinnati last month, especially on offense. |
|||||||
11-04-23 | Wisconsin v. Indiana +9.5 | 14-20 | Win | 100 | 93 h 46 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #328 Indian Hoosiers over Wisconsin Badgers (12p.m., Saturday, November 4 BTN) This line is coming down, as Wisconsin has been decimated by injuries and should not be favored by this many points against any team in the Big 10. The Badgers played decent against Ohio State but expect a letdown to occur as RB Allen and WR Diketo to injuries in that game. No team can sustain that many injuries and thus it would not surprise me if Indiana wins this game straight-up. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will cash this ticket with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
11-03-23 | Grizzlies -3 v. Blazers | Top | 113-115 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Memphis is 0-5 to start the season. We think they will get their first win tonight with style points. This team has lots of talent even without Morant. This is their first game of the in season tournament, so we think there is a great chance for this to be the impetus for them to snap out of this funk. Portland will finish with one of the worst records in the west. While Memphis hasn’t played well, this roster is miles better than what the Blazers will be trotting out, and if this matchup was the first game of the season (without the way the Grizzlies have played), Memphis would probably be around a 7- or 8-point favorite here based on the talent. |
|||||||
11-02-23 | Magic v. Jazz +1.5 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -111 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
We love the Jazz in this spot tonight. We think they are being punished too much by the oddsmakers for this being a back-to-back. But this is a young team, and this is early in the season, so we don’t think that will come into play tonight. The Jazz ran roughshod over the Grizzlies last night and the starters got some extra rest. No starter played more than 28 minutes. These teams don’t play often, but the Jazz are 8-1 in the last nine meetings. Orlando normally doesn’t play well here. The Magic are an exciting, up and coming team, but they were bad on the road last year and they should be this year also. The Jazz were a surprise team at the start of last season and they were one of the best betting teams early. We think they are a solid bet at this point in the season, and we expect them to win outright tonight. |
|||||||
11-01-23 | Kent State v. Akron -3.5 | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 32 h 29 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #308 Akron Zips -3.5 over Kent State Golden Flashes (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 1 ESPNU) How the Golden Flashes have fallen. This used to be a perennial top team in the MAC, but they cannot get out of their own way this season going 1-7 with their only win coming against an FCS team. Akron has the same stats, but the difference tonight will be the quarterback play of Akron (taking care of the football). Jeff Undercuffler will be smart with the football and that will allow the Zips to move the football and win this game by double digits. Neither team will be making a bowl game, so the time is now for Akron to end this long losing streak to Kent State and earn some pride heading into next season. |
|||||||
10-29-23 | Jaguars -2.5 v. Steelers | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 88 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #253 Jacksonville Jaguars over Pittsburgh Steelers (1p.m., Sunday, October 29 CBS) The Jaguars are on a roll and will enter this game having won 4 straight games. They have taken control of the AFC South and I feel they are farther along with their offense and quarterback compared to the Steelers. Pittsburgh is not a top team in the league and I see them being around a .500 team, which has been normal of late for Mike Tomlin. Jacksonville has extra rest for this game and being the favorite on the road leads me to believe the books what to take a bunch of Steelers money. |
|||||||
10-28-23 | Oregon State v. Arizona +3.5 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 59 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #176 Arizona Wildcats over Oregon State Beavers (10:30p.m., Saturday, October 28 ESPN) Arizona has been playing well of late covering three straight games including a shocking 44-6 victory over Washington State last time out. That Wazzou team is the only team to beat the Beavers this season. Both teams are coming off of a bye but Oregon State is just a different team when playing on the road. Arizona is 5-1 ATS in lined games this season. Oregon State is 2-5 in their last 7 conference road games when they are favored. They are also 1-7 ATS (1 push) in this same situation when they are favored by less than a touchdown. It is hard to beat anyone on the road in the PAC-12 besides Cal, ASU, and Stanford and this game should go down to the wire with the Wildcats coming out on top. |
|||||||
10-28-23 | Grizzlies v. Wizards | 106-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies are being punished too much on the line for this back-to-back. The season is still young, and back-to-backs aren’t that big of an issue right now. And Memphis has some depth. Washington is getting used to live without Bradley Beal, one of the franchise cornerstones for what seemed like a lifetime. They have new faces and lots of question marks. Their absolute ceiling is the play in tourney, while that same ceiling is a championship for Memphis. Memphis has won six of the last eight meetings. We think they make that seven of nine tonight and win this one by a comfortable margin. |
|||||||
10-28-23 | Red Wings +1.5 v. Bruins | 1-4 | Loss | -155 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Detroit has had some success against the Bruins, and they have won two of the last four meetings outright. One of the losses was by a single goal. Both teams have gotten off to a hot start. Boston lost their first game last time out to the Ducks. We were on the Ducks puckline in that one. We said in that writeup that we don’t think the Bruins are anywhere as good as they were last year. And with the hot start there is value going against then. They are going to get their opponent’s best shot on a nightly basis. Pretty sure teams will get up more for playing the Bruins than the defending champs. We expect a close game here and think Detroit has a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
10-28-23 | Air Force v. Colorado State +12 | 30-13 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #162 Colorado State Rams over Air Force Falcons (7p.m., Saturday, October 28 CBSSN) This is an in-state battle and Colorado State already took Colorado to the wire. I do not see them getting blown out at home, as this is a sandwich game for Air Force. The Force played Navy last week and have Army on deck. Colorado State only lost by two to UNLV and beat Boise State in their last home game. Jay Novell will keep this game close and be ready to contain the triple option. All the pressure is on Air Force, as the look to win the MWC and receive a major bowl win. |
|||||||
10-28-23 | Duke v. Louisville -4 | 0-23 | Win | 100 | 95 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #134 Louisville Cardinals over Duke Blue Devils (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 28 ESPN) Duke has quarterback issues with Riley Leonard not able to finish last game. Playing Florida State last week took its toll on Duke, and I do not expect them to have much left for this game even if QB Leonard plays. Florida State dominated the second half against Duke outscoring them 21-0 and now they must face a sleeper team in the ACC that got pretty good, pretty quick. The Cardinals are coming off a bye and should be fresh for this game after suffering their only loss of the season last time out. All of their home game victories this season have come over today’s posted number. Louisville is also 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Cardinals take this one by double digits. |
|||||||
10-25-23 | UTEP +3.5 v. Sam Houston State | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 33 h 49 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #107 UTEP Miners over Sam Houston State Bearkats (8p.m., Wednesday, October 24 ESPN2) Just feel the wrong team is favored in this game and we will take the points with the team that has actually won games this season. UTEP won both of the previous meetings with Sam Houston State and is the must better offensive team. The Bearkats cannot run the football whatsoever and losing all these close games will eventually take its toll on them. Whoever runs the football better should win this game and look for that to be the Miners. |
|||||||
10-25-23 | Pistons +9.5 v. Heat | 102-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Detroit is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Detroit was a solid bet when getting big points last season, especially early in the season. Miami is more of a playoff type team that turns in on in the postseason, but this team has slogged through the regular season the last couple years, and they can’t be trusted laying this kind of number. |
|||||||
10-24-23 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Kings | 3-6 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
The Coyotes certainly look improved this season and they stand at 3-2 entering this matchup. This is a regional rivalry, so Arizona will probably bring their A Game. The Kings haven’t had a home ice advantage as they have lost all three at home this season so far. What stands out here, however, is that the Coyotes are 4-1 on the puckline. They failed to cover last time out in a 2-1 win over Anaheim, but they have been incredibly competitive against low expectations, and they enter this one with a third-ranked defense that is allowing less than two goals per game. The last two meetings have both been decided by shootout, and that result would be great for us again tonight. Five of the last eight matchups have been decided by one goal. We think this is very nice value for the puckline with the way the Coyotes have been playing defense. |
|||||||
10-22-23 | Dolphins v. Eagles -1.5 | Top | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 124 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #472 Philadelphia Eagles over Miami Dolphins (8:20p.m., Sunday, October 17 NBC) The Eagles suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday against the Jets. Expect them to bounce back in a big way tonight at home against the Dolphins, a team that has been beating up on bad team this season. Miami laid an egg against the only tough team they played this season in Buffalo, losing by 28 points on the road. The Eagles will be the best defense that they have faced in 2023 and look for them to go on another long winning streak similar to what they did in 2022. After the Eagles lost their first game of the season to the Commanders last October, they went onto win their next 5 games. The weather will be cold and not pristine conditions like Miami likes. Philadelphia is 10-1 in their last 11 games against AFC teams that won in their previous week. The Eagles get back on track, take care of the football and win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
10-21-23 | Duke v. Florida State -14.5 | 20-38 | Win | 100 | 74 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #342 Florida State Seminoles over Duke Blue Devils (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 21 ABC) Duke winning last week was fools gold, as the stats were terrible. Now they face a team that they have never beaten in Florida State, as they are 0-21 straight-up against them and have not covered the spread against them since 2004. QB Leonard may be back for this game, but it will not matter, as he will not be 100% and the Seminoles will win this game by over 20 points. |
|||||||
10-21-23 | Pittsburgh +1.5 v. Wake Forest | 17-21 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #323 Pittsburgh Panthers over Wake Forest Demon Deacons (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 21 ACCN) Wake Forest is a sinking ship and will enter this game having lost 3 straight conference games. Pittsburgh picked up their best win of the season last week against Louisville and expect them to follow that up with another victory on Saturday. The Demon Deacons benched their quarterback last week and were outgained by 200 yards last week against Virginia Tech. Pittsburgh has the coaching advantage and will get back closer to bowl eligibility with another victory on Saturday. |
|||||||
10-21-23 | Penn State v. Ohio State -3.5 | Top | 12-20 | Win | 100 | 92 h 31 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #326 Ohio State Buckeyes over Penn State Nittany Lions (12p.m., Saturday, October 21 FOX) Big 10 Game of the Year. Getting Ohio State playing at the Horseshoe at this line does not happen very often. Penn State has looked impressive this season, but they have not played anyone of significance and will not be battle tested for this game. Many people have been critical of Ohio State QB McCord, but he has an 11-1 touchdown to interception ratio and Penn State does not have a veteran quarterback either. Penn State has lost 10 of their last 11 games to Ohio State including 6 games in a row. The Lions have not gotten many explosive plays this season and they will need a bunch in order to beat Ohio State. Coach Franklin does not win many road games against elite teams and Saturday should be no different. DC Manny Diaz never seems to live up to the hype and I always like fading him in big spots. Ohio State has great wide receivers and many of their running backs should be back for this game. The Buckeyes have improved greatly on defense and Penn State has not seen a unit this strong yet this season. Ohio State is accustomed to winning these type of games and Penn State once again in not in that class to knock off big teams in true road games. Penn State is on a monster ATS run but I look for that to end on Saturday, as Ohio State wins this game by double-digits. Â |

10-19-23 | Bruins v. Sharks +1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Boston is down this season from what we saw last year, and they are still being lined so far like last year’s team. They have looked OK in two home wins, but this will be their first road game. San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league this year. But they opened up the season with four straight at home, and they head on the road after this, so they will go all out to play their best in hopes that the season didn’t start with a goose egg in this nice season opening homestand. |
|||||||
10-16-23 | Blackhawks v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -126 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Big mismatch here and we are more than happy to lay the goals with some juice. Toronto has 12 goals in regulation through two games this season and they are looking unstoppable on offense. Chicago is still working a lot out on both sides of the ice and Toronto already looks like they are in playoff form. Unless they take the night off, which is unlikely at the start of the season, this one should be a blowout. |

10-15-23 | Giants +14.5 v. Bills | 9-14 | Win | 100 | 100 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #275 New York Giants over Buffalo Bills (8:20p.m., Sunday, October 15 NBC) Buffalo is at home by they played in London last Sunday and thus I expect New York to keep this game in single digits. The Bills are really banged up on defense with injuries seemingly at every position. The Giants made some plays on defense against Miami and if they do that again they should be able to keep this game close. Sooner or later the Giants coaching staff will figure out a plan to move the football with Danny Jones. |

10-15-23 | Seahawks v. Bengals -2.5 | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 93 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #258 Cincinnati Bengals over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, October 15 FOX) Cincinnati put together a complete game last week and look for them to even up their record with a home win against Seattle on Sunday. I am not still sold on the Seahawks being a top team in the NFC and feel the offensive weapons for Cincinnati are much greater than that of Seattle. The Bengals are 8-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games and 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games against NFC teams. |

10-15-23 | Colts v. Jaguars -4 | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 93 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #264 Jacksonville Jaguars over Indianapolis Colts (1p.m., Sunday, October 15 CBS) The Colts put their quarterback on IR on Wednesday and look for Jacksonville to take advantage of one of their few home games to open the season. Jacksonville already lost to the Texans at home this season and cannot afford another home loss to an AFC South team. Jacksonville won earlier this season in Indianapolis and look for them to take control of the division with a win on Sunday. |

10-14-23 | UCLA v. Oregon State -3.5 | Top | 24-36 | Win | 100 | 103 h 21 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #190 Oregon State Beavers over UCLA Bruins (8p.m., Saturday, October 14 FOX) We went against UCLA at the Rose Bowl last week and were a tough luck loser, as Wazzou offense played terribly in the second half. Now that makes this play at Oregon State much stronger in favor of the Beavers. Oregon State is 14-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. They have already beaten Utah at home, and they have a similar quarterback situation that UCLA does (freshman on the road). The Beavers are on a rampage and want to knock off all the teams leaving the conference next season. The fan base is that much more motivated, especially when playing UCLA, a team that started the dominos falling. UCLA has a strong defense, but they will not be able to win that game on defense alone. Oregon State is the best team that have played thus far, and they will not be up to the challenge. |

10-14-23 | Missouri v. Kentucky -2.5 | 38-21 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #136 Kentucky Wildcats over Missouri Tigers (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 14 SECN) Both teams are coming off their first loss of the season. Kentucky was blown out by Georgia and thus I think it will be easier for them to bounce back in this game. The Wildcats have dominated this series, winning 7 of the 8 games (6-2 ATS). Missouri had a brutal loss and cover last week against LSU and I see losing two straight, as this game is a night game in Lexington. Missouri has not played in a hostile environment this season and look for that to have an effect. Lay the points with the home team. |

10-14-23 | UNLV v. Nevada +9.5 | 45-27 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #186 Nevada Wolf Pack over UNLV Rebels (5p.m., Saturday, October 14 NSN) The Wolf Pack carry the nations longest losing streak, but this rivalry has seen many upsets of late. Nevada has covered the spread in 3 straight games in this series. UNLV is 5-0 ATS this season and that usually evens out over 12 games. Nevada has been playing better football of late and will enter this game on a 3-0 ATS run. Getting this many points with a home underdog is too good to pass up. |

10-13-23 | Saskatchewan v. Calgary -3.5 | 19-26 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take 674 Calgary Stampeders over Saskatchewan Roughriders (Friday, October 13 9:30 PM) The Stampeders and Roughriders meet for the proverbial "rubber match", having split the season so far. This matchup is about the defenses, as both offenses are almost identical in scoring. Saskatchewan gives up an average of 31.0 ppg, the worst in the CFL. Calgary surrenders 26.7 ppg, 4th-best. We think the Stampeders take the season series. Calgary is also 13-5 SU in its last 18 home games against Saskatchewan. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

10-12-23 | Braves -1.5 v. Phillies | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #943 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Philadelphia (8:07p.m., Thursday, October 12 TBS) Just feel like the Braves have one last winning streak in them. They have the rotation set up for Game 4 and Game 5 and have a decisive pitching advantage in this game. Just do not feel Ranger Suarez can go deep into this game like his counterpart can. Sooner or later the Braves offense will make some noise and they are overdue to win one of these games comfortably. |
|||||||
10-11-23 | Liberty +5 v. Aces | Top | 76-104 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 22 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #631 New York Liberty over Las Vegas Aces (9p.m., Wednesday, October 11 ESPN) WNBA Playoff Game of the Year. The 2023 WNBA Playoffs have been a snooze fest thus far and the league, tv partners, and fans really need New York to win this game straight-up to create some excitement. The Liberty were ahead at halftime before faltering in the second half. All the games against the Aces for the Liberty have been blowouts one way or the other. The Liberty have won their fair share of games against the Aces and I am confident they will bounce back on Wednesday. Sooner or later one of these games will go down to the wire and this way be that game. New York has the best player on the floor and they have the size to contend with Las Vegas in the post. The Aces are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 WNBA Finals Games. The desperate team wins and we collect big in the process. |

10-11-23 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -116 | 4 h 34 m | Show |
This is one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports and this is always the biggest game of the season for the Canadiens when they face off with Toronto. And, despite the talent disparity, Montreal normally put up a good fight or outright won the last few years. But these teams are going in different directions, and Toronto may have one of their best squads of all time this season, while Montreal is still a long way from being competitive and should be among the worst teams in the NHL this season. And the last two meetings, both in Toronto, were very one-sided as both were blowouts and the Maple Leafs had a goal differential of +10 in those two matchups. Toronto will not only want to get the season started off on the right foot but also take their main rival down a peg in the process, and with a bitter rivalry like this, there is also an incentive for the better team to run up the score, as we witnessed in the last two meetings. We expect more domination from Toronto here and a big season-opening win |

10-10-23 | Orioles v. Rangers -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 147 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (8:03p.m., Tuesday, October 10 FOX) It ends tonight! The Rangers will take care of business at home and advance to the ALCS next week at either Houston or Minnesota. Baltimore has been getting behind early and that is trouble for this young team. Texas is starting to figure out their bullpen and expect them to take care of business on Tuesday behind Nathan Eovaldi. |

10-09-23 | Packers -1 v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 53 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #475 Green Bay Packers over Las Vegas Raiders (8:15p.m., Monday, October 9 ESPN) Just not a fan of the Raiders this season with their coach/quarterback combination. They are coming off 3 straight defeats and the last two were against teams that might not even make the playoffs. Green Bay is a better team that what their 2-2 record indicates and do not want to fall below .500 with this young quarterback. The Packers will have a huge crowd in Las Vegas for this game and expect no home field advantage for the Raiders. Josh McDaniels can only beat the Broncos, as they struggled against every other team. The Packers have beaten the Raiders 8 straight games. |
|||||||
10-09-23 | Ottawa +6.5 v. Montreal | 3-29 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #687 Ottawa +6 over Montreal (1p.m., Monday, October 9 CBSSN) The Holiday Weekend continues on Monday with this afternoon game in the CFL. These two teams played last week and turnovers were again the story. Ottawa moved the football up and down the field but were done in by turnovers. The RedBlacks can score points and thus should be able to cover this 6 point spread. Montreal is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Monday Holiday games. If Ottawa can hand onto the football they should be able to emerge victorious. |

10-08-23 | Cowboys v. 49ers -3.5 | 10-42 | Win | 100 | 100 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #474 San Francisco 49ers over Dallas Cowboys (8:20p.m., Sunday, October 8 NBC) Dallas just does not beat San Francisco and we will lay the points with the home team on Sunday Night Football. San Francisco is 12-1 in their last 13 home games when they are the favorite. The 49ers have also won 14 regular season games in a row. If San Francisco does not beat themselves in this game, they will win it by double digits. Dallas has some great flashes, but under Coach McCarthy they cannot be trusted in big games against better teams. |
|||||||
10-08-23 | Jaguars +5.5 v. Bills | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 89 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #451 Jacksonville Jaguars over Buffalo Bills (9:30a.m., Sunday, October 8 NFLN) Always like backing the Jaguars in London. Buffalo is coming off a dominating game against a division opponent and look for there to be a letdown for them in this game. They are the home team and that will frustrate their rapid fan base and allow Jacksonville to cover the spread. Sooner or later, Trevor Lawrence is going to have a breakout game and I look for it to come on Sunday. Jacksonville takes this game down to the wire and we collect with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Twins v. Astros -1.5 | 4-6 | Win | 143 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #906 Houston (-1.5 RL) +140 over Minnesota (4:45p.m., Saturday, October 7 FS1) Taking Houston in the postseason is never a bad bet. Minnesota got the monkey off their back winning a game and a series, but I do not see them advancing to the Championship Series next week. Justin Verlander has been a big game pitcher since coming back to Houston, especially down the stretch. He has not been as strong in the postseason, but this should be a get right game for him in that respect. The Astros lineup will flex today and we will collect a nice underdog in the process. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Kent State v. Ohio -25.5 | 17-42 | Loss | -111 | 71 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #356 Ohio Bobcats over Kent State Golden Flashes (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 7 ESPN+) The Bobcats have been a covering machine the last two years going 13-2 ATS in their last 15 games. The Golden Flashes are 1-4 on the season and their only win came against FCS Central Connecticut. Their other four games have been losses by 50, 22, 43, and 20 points. Ohio has revenge in this game having lost their last two games against Kent State. Ohio is coming off a bye and will be healthy and rested to blow out Kent State. We will lay the wood with the home team. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +2.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 71 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #394 Texas A&M Aggies over Alabama Crimson Tide (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 7 CBS) Never like to fade Nick Saben especially with Jimbo Fisher on the other side, but this is more about Alabama really struggling on offense this season. Coach Fisher gets up for this game, and a victory today can get some of the fan base off of his back. A&M has not been as talented as Alabama the last few years, yet this game played them well. Look for the Aggies to shutdown the running quarterback and make them beat them through the air with long sustained drives. A&M has a wizard as offensive coordinator, and they will have some wrinkles that Alabama has yet to see. Grab the points with the more talented offensive team at home. |
