01-21-22 | Blazers v. Celtics -8 | 109-105 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Blazers are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 as a road underdog. We think the Celtics will take care of business here and this looks like a double digit win for us. Portland has been very poor on the road this season and we don’t think they have the personnel to be competitive in this matchup. |
|||||||
01-21-22 | Stars v. Red Wings -102 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 28 m | Show |
Dallas enters on a back-to-back, and they are just 2-4 in these situations this season. Detroit has been very good at home (13-6-2) and horrible on the road (5-11-2-1), so home ice advantage will come into play here, especially the way Dallas has played on the road (4-12-0-1). The home team is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings, and we see the Stars getting worn down once this game goes on and we think their offense will suffer because of the B2B (the under is 5-1 for the Stars six B2Bs). |
|||||||
01-21-22 | Thunder +9.5 v. Hornets | Top | 98-121 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
The Thunder are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season. They suffer the occasional blowout but they more often than not play it close and lose the game but cover as a big dog. And when they do suffer one of those blowouts, they normally come back strong the next game. They are 4-0 ATS when losing by 10 or more points their previous game. OKC has covered four straight here in Charlotte and they are 17-7-1 in the last 25 meetings. |
|||||||
01-21-22 | Lakers -4.5 v. Magic | 116-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a perfect Get Right game for the Lakers. The oddsmakers have made major adjustments with this team, and deservedly so. They have been awful. They do have the best player on the planet, who should be motivated to get the convincing win here. |
|||||||
01-20-22 | Arizona v. Stanford +12 | 85-57 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #858 Stanford over Arizona (11p.m., Thursday, January 20 ESPNU) This is a lot of points for a true road game that will not have any atmosphere. Stanford has been playing better of late having won 4 of their last 5 games. They are coming off a bad loss to Washington last time out but should rebound tonight and take this game down to the wire. Arizona has been winning games but not covering of late going 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. Stanford is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
01-19-22 | Pacers v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
After their almost 40 point loss at Denver on Saturday, the Lakers faced their harshest criticism from the media, and even Magic Johnson chimed in on Twitter, bashing the team’s performance. LeBron went on Twitter to say this team will do better and Westbrook had to respond to the Johnson comments. We think this team has circled the wagon a bit and we expect another solid performance after they beat Utah last time out. Sometimes a team just needs a spark, and we think the Lakers found it. The Pacers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games, despite some very generous spreads. The Lakers have been getting the job done against the worst teams as they are 4-0 ATS against sub-.500 teams. And the Lakers are 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall. |
|||||||
01-19-22 | TCU +5.5 v. Oklahoma State | 56-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #707 TCU over Oklahoma State (8p.m., Wednesday, January 19 ESPN+) Oklahoma State is banned from the NCAA Tournament this year and they are a much better team as an underdog. Now they are favored by around 5 points against a team that will likely qualify for the NCAA Tournament this season. The Pokes are coming off a big win against Baylor last time out, but I do not believe they can play at that level at a consistent basis. TCU is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Oklahoma State is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. |
|||||||
01-19-22 | Maple Leafs v. Rangers +135 | 3-6 | Win | 135 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
The Rangers have won five of the last seven meetings. The underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. The Rangers are 10-3 in their last 13 at home, and while the Leafs are very good on the road they are much better at home. Toronto is 2-2 in their last four, so they aren’t in the best form. The Rangers have six wins in their last eight games. |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Pistons +15.5 v. Warriors | 86-102 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
We always look for a reason to take the underdog when the points are this high. Detroit has been about 50% at covering these big spreads. However, Golden State is figuring some things out right now with getting their No. 2 star back in the rotation, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as favorites, so we aren’t getting the consistent play from them recently that we are used to. |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Panthers v. Flames OVER 6.5 | 1-5 | Loss | -111 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
The over is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings. We expect another high scoring affair here. Florida has now gone over in nine straight games. They have 21 goals in their last three games. They have eclipse this total by themselves in some games recently. We see another high scoring affair here. |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Northwestern | 82-76 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #651 Wisconsin over Northwestern (9p.m., Tuesday, January 18 BTN) Until Wisconsin losses a game we are going to keep riding them, as the Badgers will enter this game having won 6 straight games. Their last 4 wins have come against teams that are better than Northwestern and expect them to take care of business tonight at Welch Ryan Arena. Northwestern is coming off a nice win against Michigan State last time out, but that kept this line low and allows us to attack it with the better more experienced team. The favorite is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 meetings between Wisconsin and Northwestern. Wisconsin is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Northwestern is 15-35 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 52 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Sabres v. Senators -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Ottawa has won two straight and covered the minus goals puckline in both games. And Buffalo is not only coming in on a back-to-back but they are playing their third game in four nights and also they played to OT yesterday in Detroit. They lost that game, and they have lost eight of the last nine, usually by more than one goal. |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Hurricanes v. Bruins -134 | 7-1 | Loss | -134 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Carolina has a better record but the Bruins are a decent sized favorite here. That tells us the oddsmakers want bettors to take Carolina here. We won’t bite. The Bruins are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now and they have the dominating Rask back in front of the goal. We expect more success from them tonight. |
|||||||
01-18-22 | Davidson v. VCU -2 | 63-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #606 VCU over Davidson (7p.m., Tuesday, January 18 CBSSN) This is a matchup of two of the top teams in the Atlantic 10 and we will side with the home team tonight in Richmond. The Rams will enter having won 4 straight games and they are facing a Wildcat team that will be playing their second straight road game. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Davidson and VCU. The Rams are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Thunder +11.5 v. Mavs | Top | 102-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
The Mavs have been playing very well. But this OKC team just has a knack for covering the spread and keeping games close. They don’t often get the outright win, so that keeps the value with this team. They have covered six of their last eight overall with one push. They are 27-14-1 ATS on the season. The Mavs have been blowing teams out. But this is their third game in four nights even though they were off on Sunday. OKC has the rest advantage because they played Saturday but not Friday. Dallas is 3-6 ATS when laying 5 or more points this season. OKC is 23-11-1 ATS when getting 3 or more points as a dog. OKC is solid defensively and Dallas is a Top 5 defense. The total is low and we expect a low scoring game, which makes every point in a big line more valuable for the underdog. These teams met in OKC about two weeks ago and the Mavs won by nine. The Thunder were without their best player for that game and they are much healthier tonight. We expect a close game. |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Kings +101 v. Sharks | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 46 m | Show |
The Sharks have had the Kings number in recent meetings but we think these teams are going in the opposite directions. The Kings have found a spark and have won four straight, and they are playing with lots of confidence and swagger right now. The Sharks have lost two straight. Those losses came after a three-game winning streak, but the opposition wasn’t great and they needed OT in wins against the Red Wings and Flyers. San Jose has been overrated by the oddsmakers this season and they have drained nearly $1500 from bettors bankrolls, while the Kings have been one of the best betting teams and have made their blind backers more than $1K on the season. They have a Top 5 defense for goals allowed this season, and that is a big reason for their success at the window. They also have a winning record on the road, so we feel confident backing them in this rivalry spot. |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Purdue v. Illinois | 96-88 | Loss | -115 | 1 h 60 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #848 Illinois over Purdue (12p.m., Monday, January 17 FOX) The Illini can take firm control of the Big 10 with a win today at State Farm Center. Purdue is the higher ranked team, but they have not played like it this season especially during conference play. The Illini have won 6 straight games, all of them coming by double digits. Illinois has the size to matchup with Purdue down low and I feel Purdue will have to make shots from the arc to win this game. The home team is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 games between Purdue and Illinois. Purdue is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. Illinois is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
01-16-22 | Jazz v. Nuggets UNDER 224 | Top | 125-102 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
Denver has scored 133 and 140 in their last two games. So the oddsmakers have to post a big number here. But we think this one will go well under the posted number. Denver is on a back-to-back and averages only 105 PPG in these situations. Utah has been giving up a lot of points but this team has traditionally been one of the best defensive teams, and we think they know they need to step up on defense tonight in order to have a chance to win. They are also getting defensive help as Gobert should return tonight. Denver has been playing strong defense and has held 3 of 4 opponents under the century mark. |
|||||||
01-16-22 | 49ers v. Cowboys -3 | Top | 23-17 | Loss | -100 | 123 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #148 Dallas Cowboys over San Francisco 49ers (4:30p.m., Sunday, January 16 CBS) The 49ers have the Rams number but that is not the case with the Cowboys. Dallas is the No. 1 scoring offense averaging close to 30 points per game. Dallas has beaten San Francisco 5 of the last 7 postseason meetings. San Francisco went 4-5 straight-up against teams with a winning record. The 49ers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 playoff road games. Dallas is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games. Both teams come in hot, but the different in this game will be the Cowboys offensive firepower. |
|||||||
01-15-22 | Patriots +4 v. Bills | 17-47 | Loss | -109 | 103 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #143 New England Patriots over Buffalo Bills (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 15 CBS) Weather may play a role in this game as it will be bitterly cold with a chance of snow. That reminds me of the first meetings between these two teams, when the Patriots won despite hardily throwing the football. The Patriots have the No. 1 scoring defense in the league, and they just need QB Jones to make timely plays with his arm. New England is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Buffalo is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. This is a divisional game, and we expect it to go down to the wire and be decided by 3 points or less. |
|||||||
01-15-22 | Houston v. Tulsa +11.5 | 66-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #778 Tulsa over Houston (8p.m., Saturday, January 15 ESPN2) This is a lot of points to be giving for a true road game, especially since Houston is not a high scoring team. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between Houston and Tulsa. The Golden Hurricanes are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
01-15-22 | Alabama v. Mississippi State -1 | Top | 76-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #752 Mississippi State over Alabama (6p.m., Saturday, January 15 SECN) The Tide are not the same team that they were last year on either side of the floor. They do not shoot it that well from the arc and they are not defending at the same level either. Alabama has lost two straight games and now face an under the radar team in Mississippi State who is getting back Tolu Smith back for this game. The Bulldogs are a much better team at home, and they will enter off a blowout win against Georgia. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 games and the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 games between Alabama and Mississippi State. Alabama is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Coyotes v. Avalanche UNDER 6.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
We were all over Arizona last time out against Toronto, and they got a big upset win. One of their biggest wins of the season. They are in a letdown spot here, and we don’t see them contributing much to this big goal total. They have two or fewer goals in three of their last four games. They have gone under in 10 of 13 games as a road underdog. They have some of the worst offensive numbers in the NHL. We think Colorado will get their share of goals but Arizona won’t contribute theirs. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Cavs -3.5 v. Spurs | 114-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
The Cavs went into a bit of a slump when Rubio went down, but they have been playing better as of late and have won three of four. We think they will take care of business against a floundering Spurs team. San Antonio has won only one of their last nine and they have covered only three in that span. They are going long stretches where they can’t hit any shots on a regular basis, and Cleveland’s excellent defense should keep them away from the basket tonight. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Warriors v. Bulls -3 | 138-96 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
The Warriors are struggling (1-4 SU and 2-6 ATS). They are coming in on a back-to-back. The Bulls were on their own B2B Wednesday and they were embarrassed by the Nets. We think that will be extra motivation for them here tonight at home. Golden State is just trying to get Klay acclimated and up to speed and we don’t think they are massively concerned about winning every game right now. This team is all about the postseason. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Suns -5.5 v. Pacers | 112-94 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
After a bit of a slump at the end of December, the Suns are playing well again, having won four of five. We think they are in line for another comfortable win here. They are well rested with two nights off. They have covered in seven of 10 meetings here in Indiana. The Pacers sometimes play a great game out of nowhere, but this team just isn’t playing well right now with only one win in their last eight games. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Colorado v. Arizona OVER 152 | 55-76 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 20 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #868 Over in Colorado @ Arizona (11p.m., Thursday, January 13 FS1) This total has already moved a field goal and we will still attack in on Thursday night at the McKale Center. The Buffaloes have gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 13 games against teams with a winning record. Arizona has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 8 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Warriors v. Bucks UNDER 224 | Top | 99-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
Both teams are trending to the under with three of their last four going under the posted total. Both teams have struggled lately on the offensive end. Golden State has failed to reach the century mark in three of their last four games. Milwaukee averaged around 103 in their last two losses to the Hornets. And don’t forget that Golden State has the No. 1 defense in the NBA. As long as there is no OT here we should beat this total easily. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Flyers v. Bruins OVER 6 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
The league as a whole is trending to the over right now, but we would like the over here anyways. Boston has gone under in only one of their last seven games. They have scored five or more goals in five of their last six games, so if their offense plays like it has recently, this team could score most of the goals to get this one over the total by themselves. But Philly will probably get their goals, too. Boston is coming in on a back-to-back. Offense will be instinctual to them. But giving the energy for top flight defense might come as a challenge with tired legs. And Tuukka Rask is making his first start of the season after offseason surgery. He missed his rehab stint in the minors and came straight to the big leagues. We expect some rust and he could be extra vulnerable tonight. The over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these teams. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #782 Wisconsin over Ohio State (7p.m., Thursday, January 13 ESPN2) Wisconsin is playing at a high level now and they will get revenge for getting blown out in December against Ohio State. The Badgers have been playing outstanding basketball now and have the best player on the court in Johnny Davis, a player that will be a top ten pick in the NBA draft and is averaging over 22 points per game. Since that loss to Ohio State, Wisconsin has won 5 games in a row including at Purdue and at Maryland. The favorite is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games between Ohio State and Wisconsin. Ohio State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Boise State v. Nevada +1.5 | 85-70 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #754 Nevada over Boise State (10:30p.m., Wednesday, January 12 FS1) Nevada has had Boise State’s number is recent years with the home team covering the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings. Nevada is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games. The Wolf Pack beat the Broncos 3 times last season and look for another win by the Pack on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Rockets v. Spurs -6.5 | Top | 128-124 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
The Spurs are a bit in desperation mode here as they have lost seven of the last eight games. They have played a brutally tough schedule, however. Their last eight games included matchups with: NY and Brooklyn, Philly, Boston, Toronto, Memphis and Utah. They have lost two of their last six games in overtime. Seven of their last eight were on the road. Now they are back home and very much in need of a win. They have the perfect opponent to get it against tonight as the Rockets are of a much lower caliber than most of the Spurs recent opponents. They have lost their last three games by a full 40+ points over the very generous lines they have been given. This looks like another potential blowout but we think a comfortable Spurs lead is all but certain. They have one of the best coaches in NBA history. They have covered five of the last seven meetings in San Antonio. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 130 | 24 h 23 m | Show | |
Seattle hasn’t been a good underdog bet recently as they are 0-5 in their last five when plus money on the moneyline. They are running right into a buzzsaw in Dallas tonight. Dallas had won four straight before dominating St. Louis for most of the game last time out before allowing two goals in the final minute to lose in heartbreaking fashion. Now they have the perfect Get Right game against hapless Seattle. Despite some generous moneylines this team has been one of the worst bets in the NHL this season. The Dallas offense is playing very well and the Kraken have four or more goals in five of their last six games, so we feel the Stars will be able to get the goals requires to cover this puckline at plus money. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | New Mexico v. UNLV OVER 149 | 56-85 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #675 Over in New Mexico @ UNLV (11p.m., Tuesday, January 11 CBSSN) New Mexico has gone over the posted total in 12 of their last 14 games when they are an underdog. They have also gone over the posted total in 14 of their last 20 games. UNLV has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Red Wings v. Sharks -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
Lots of trends in our favor here in San Jose on Tuesday night. Detroit comes in the losers of 5 of 7 and they are giving up goals in abundance. Yet their name recognition keeps the moneyline in check for their opponents. San Jose has won two straight and four of six. The home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings and SJ has won 14 of 20. San Jose has won all of their last four games when favored. Detroit is one of the worst bets in the NHL on the road as an underdog 13-62 record!). We see a pretty easy win for the home team here tonight. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Auburn v. Alabama -2.5 | 81-77 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #668 Alabama over Auburn (9p.m., Tuesday, January 11 ESPN) The Tide are coming off a bad loss to Missouri last time out despite being a double-digit favorite. Look for them to take out their frustrations from football and basketball on their hated rival tonight. Auburn has been playing over their head to start the season and I just do not believe they are as good as their record indicates. Auburn is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Wolves -3.5 v. Pelicans | 125-128 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Minnesota is very underrated and they are laying a small number here on the road in a game they should win comfortably. They are hot right now and have won four straight heading into this game, while the Pelicans have lost four of five. Minnesota is 5-0-1 in their last six road games, and they are being underestimated by the oddsmakers once again. Not to mention they have covered in their last four meetings in New Orleans. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Pistons v. Bulls -13 | 87-133 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
The Pistons pulled off one of their biggest wins of the season last night vs. Utah and now this is a major letdown spot for a team that is competitive at times as a big dog but also has the ability to lose big. We think the later will be the case tonight, and that bodes well for the favorite and the under here. After a big game the Pistons normally have a letdown. In their last nine games after scoring 125 or more, they are 1-8 ATS. The Pistons have not covered in nine straight meetings and the under is 6-0 in the last six meetings. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Thunder +9 v. Wizards | Top | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
The Thunder are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA and they are decently healthy and they had the night off Monday. No reason they should be getting this many points at Washington, a lousy ATS team that hasn’t been favored by this many points against anyone this season. When they have been a favorite of three or more points, they are 5-10 ATS. OKC has covered in four of their last five games, while the Wizards have failed to cover in three straight. OKC has the rare game where they get blown out of the water, but this is a winnable game for them and we think they put their best foot forward tonight. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Toledo +1.5 v. Miami-OH | 75-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #635 Toledo over Miami (OH) (7p.m., Tuesday, January 11 ESPN+) The Rockets should contend for a top seed in the MAC Conference Tournament in March and expect them to win this road game tonight at Millett Hall. Toledo has the best player on the floor in Ryan Rollins. The Rockets are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games played on Tuesday. Miami is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Rangers v. Kings UNDER 5.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
We think this moneyline is more than fair for the road team, which is a much stronger club. Both teams are solid defensively and we see a low-scoring game and expect the Rangers to win a 2-1 or 3-1 type of game. Both teams have been playing well but we think the Rangers match up well here and we feel they have been very strong on the road. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Cavs v. Kings UNDER 220.5 | 109-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
This total looks quite a bit high for two teams that scored in the 80s in their last game. The Cavs are coming in on a back-to-back, which should affect their offensive capabilities, and they are already one of the worst offensive teams in the league and breaking in a new PG. The Kings, also on a B2B, managed only 88 last night against Portland, a squad that is nowhere near Cleveland in the top defensive rankings. This totals line should have been higher than most Cleveland totals, but the oddsmakers made this one too high as we had this number handicapped close to 215. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Georgia -2.5 v. Alabama | 33-18 | Win | 100 | 151 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #287 Georgia Bulldogs over Alabama Crimson Tide (8p.m., Monday, January 10 ESPN) This line is begging you to take Alabama, but we feel that Georgia is favored for a reason. Both teams dominated their semi-final games against inferior competition, but Georgia is the healthier team in this game, especially on the offensive side of the football. An assistant coach finally beat Nick Saban during the regular season this year and his second lost to an assistant coach will come in this game. Beating a team twice in a season is always a tough task and I just believe Georgia is the more motivated team. Alabama has a major edge at quarterback, but I like Georgia and basically every other position on the field. Georgia is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 neutral site games as a favorite. Alabama is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Chargers -2.5 v. Raiders | Top | 32-35 | Loss | -114 | 127 h 58 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #481 Los Angeles Chargers over Las Vegas Raiders (8:20p.m., Sunday, January 9 NBC) The Raiders have played better of late to stay in the hunt for a wild card berth, but this franchise has not won many games like this during the 21st century. Los Angeles dominated the first meeting of the season winning by 14 points. Las Vegas is just 4-4 at home with losses to Chicago and Washington part of those 4 losses. Los Angeles has better playmakers on both sides of the football, and they will march onto the playoffs next weekend. The road team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings between the Chargers and the Raiders. Las Vegas is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. |

01-09-22 | Wisconsin -1 v. Maryland | Top | 70-69 | Push | 0 | 19 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #855 Wisconsin over Maryland (7:30p.m., Sunday, January 9 BTN) Wisconsin is the hottest team in the league and will enter Sunday off back-to-back impressive wins against Purdue and Iowa. Maryland has already made a coaching change this season and they have yet to record a win in the Big 10 this season. I just do not trust Danny Manning as a head coach, and they will be up against the best player in the conference and a likely top 10 pick in the NBA draft come June. Wisconsin has won 4 straight games and will move up the ranking likely into the top 10 come Tuesday. Wisconsin is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Maryland is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games when they are an underdog. The favorite is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Wisconsin and Maryland. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Red Wings v. Kings OVER 5.5 | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the over, and we expect another high scoring contest here. The Red Wings have gone over in 4 of 5, while the Kings have gone over in 3 of 4. The over is 7-1 in Detroit’s last eight games as an underdog, and lately they have either been scoring or allowing a bunch of goals, and we think that will be the case again tonight. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | St. Mary's v. BYU -3.5 | 43-52 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #798 BYU over St Mary’s (CA) (10p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN2) The Mormons are undefeated at home this season and we will lay the small number with them on tonight at the Marriott Center. The Gaels are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. BYU is 11-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games played on Saturday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Heat v. Suns -8.5 | 123-100 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
The Suns have just been destroying teams lately. All season in fact. They should be getting some key players back here today, while key guys for Miami should still be sidelined. Phoenix has shown they have great chemistry to matter who they put out on the court. And that they are such a strong ATS team despite their pedigree and shaded lines constantly is a testament to how good this team is. We see another double digit win here. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Cowboys v. Eagles +7.5 | 51-26 | Loss | -118 | 103 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Philadelphia Eagles over Dallas Cowboys (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN) This spread is high considering neither team has that much to play for in this game. Dallas is not getting the No. 2 seed and Philadelphia is locked into a wild card road game. The Eagles have won 4 straight games and they have a first-year head coach that will likely play this game all out. Dallas is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with a winning record. Philadelphia is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Jazz v. Pacers +2.5 | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Indiana has lost six straight, but they have been competitive recently. We think this is a great chance for them to notch one in the win column. Utah is all banged up right now and this is a shell of the team that has done so well this season. They enter here on a B2B and playing their third game in four nights. They had a big lead on Toronto yesterday but just fell apart in the second half, and we see that continuing here and the wrong team is favored. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Magic v. Pistons -2 | 92-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Two bad teams here but we think the Pistons are the better team. They have been more competitive overall, and the Magic come into this one very banged up. Detroit has covered in six of the last eight meetings, and we see them pulling away for a comfortable win in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Bradley v. Loyola-Chicago OVER 134 | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #683 Over in Bradley @ Loyola (4p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN+) The Braves have played over the posted total in 5 straight games. The Ramblers have played over the posted total in 7 of their last 8 home games. I expect both teams to reach 70 points in scoring and this game will go over the posted total. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M | 81-86 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #618 Texas A&M over Arkansas (1p.m., Saturday, January 8 SECN) The Aggies have an impressive 12-2 record, but their quality wins are lacking. But they are in much better shape than Arkansas is at the moment, as the Hogs have lost 4 of their last 5 games. They do not have many quality wins either and Coach Musselman has had to do down his twitter hype. Arkansas is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturdays. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Montana State +8 v. North Dakota State | Top | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 41 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308911 Montana State Bobcats over North Dakota State Bison (12p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN2) This line has been trending down and with this long of a layoff I expect his to be a low scoring competitive game. The over under in this game is just 42 points and that is a low total for a team to cover more than a touchdown spread. NDSU is solid on both sides of the football but their offense is not as dynamic as it has been in previous seasons. The Bobcats have the more impressive resume in 2021 with a ton of skill players. Montana State is starting a freshman quarterback but he has the ability to beat you with his legs and arm. Expect this to be a defensive battle and we will grab the points in this championship game. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Cavs v. Blazers +6 | 114-101 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
This is more of a bet against the Cavs than for the Blazers. Cleveland has been a team we have used a lot for picks this season with great results. They have been the top ATS team for most of the season. However, they have really struggled since Rubio went out for the season with injury. This team has covered just one of their last seven games. Portland is missing their two best players here, and they haven’t been good ATS either, but they are getting too many points at home for what looks like a very winnable game for them. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Hawks v. Lakers -2.5 | 118-134 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
The Lakers are relatively healthy compared to the Hawks, who have a very long injury list. The biggest stars for both teams are on the list tonight, but LeBron has a good chance to play. The Lakers have won and covered in four of five games and they are playing well right now. We normally rarely take the Lakers as they don’t often have betting value. But their current form, combined with this small number, make them a play tonight. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Kings +8.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 111-121 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
The Kings are definitely the more healthy team right now. This team has been back and forth and you kind of never know what you are going to get with them on a nightly basis. But they are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams, and we think they match up well tonight, especially against this inflated number. This is a winnable game for them. The Nuggets are coming off two consecutive losses, so they aren’t in top form. They also are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Wolves v. Thunder +6 | 135-105 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
We like to take the losing team when teams play consecutive games like this. OKC lost by eight in Minnesota on Wednesday. They got off to a real slow start in that game, being outscored 30-10 in the first quarter. But they outplayed the Wolves from there on out. And now they are the home team in this revenge spot and also one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 24-13 ATS. They are 12-5 ATS at home, so they rarely fail to cover here. They are also 6-0 ATS in their last six as a home dog. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Capitals -103 v. Blues | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
The Blues are getting hit by Covid issues while the Caps are likely getting some players back, and that bodes well for the road team here. Also boding well for the road team is the fact the Caps have been even better on the road than they have at home, and they are 10-3-3 in away games this season. Their road performance has been one of the big reasons they are one of the better betting teams this season, and we think they are ripe to pull the upset again. They are 4-1 in their last five as an underdog. The underdog is 4-0 in the last four meetings and the Capitals are 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Two very good teams here but Washington is a better one and playing on the road isn’t a big deal in the NHL. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Jazz v. Raptors -11 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Toronto has played as well as any team in the NBA recently. They have won four straight, all against playoff contenders, and they have covered five in a row. They have covered in nine of ten overall. Utah is absolutely decimated because of Covid right now and all their star players are out for this game. Toronto is barely above .500 on the season so they are not going to go into this one expecting an easy win and they should put their best foot forward, which they have been doing for every game recently. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Clippers +11 v. Suns | 89-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
The Clippers are getting more heathy while the Suns are going through Covid issues right now. We expect the road team to stay within double digits here. The Clippers recently beat the Nets on the road as huge underdogs, and that game wasn’t a fluke. But the Clippers haven’t been able to stay consistent. But they have had two nights off entering this game, so they are well rested. LA normally plays very well against Phoenix and they are 18-8 ATS in the last 26 meetings, including a blowout win last month in LA. We see the Clippers playing hard tonight and keeping this one close. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -2.5 | 78-87 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #804 Wisconsin over Iowa (9p.m., Thursday, January 6 FS1) Both teams played on Monday, but I am not sold on Iowa this season. They do not have the resume of Wisconsin and also do not have a lottery pick on their roster. Throw in the fact Wisconsin was upset about how they were screwed by the refs against Iowa last year and I believe they want to make a statement in this game. Johnny Davis is coming off a monster 37-point game last time out. Iowa has a big scorer as well in Keegan Murray, but they have lost to all 3 top teams they have played this season. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Iowa is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games following 3 or more consecutive home games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Pistons v. Grizzlies UNDER 218 | 88-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Pistons are a young but proud team. They have a history of playing well after a loss. And they had a very embarrassing loss last night. They have lost a bunch of games badly this season. This team is young in its rebuild, so that is going to happen. They don’t always give up 140 like they did last night at Charlotte, and we think they will really focus on tightening up the defense tonight, even if they have to slow the game down some. Memphis has gone under in four straight and they have been playing solid defense. We don’t see Detroit putting up a big number, and if they hang around in this game it will be on the strength of their defense. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Celtics v. Knicks UNDER 207.5 | 105-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Boston is coming in on a back-to-back after scoring only 97 in a home loss to San Antonio, and they will be taking a step up in defensive class tonight at New York. The Knicks have been playing excellent defense lately and they have held five of their last six opponents under the century mark. We feel there’s a good chance they do it again with Boston on a B2B. The under is 5-1 in the Knicks last six games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Sharks v. Sabres UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
San Jose has played a lot of over games recently, but thanks to that we are getting a fair number here on the under in what we expect should be a lower scoring game. Buffalo has gone over this total just twice in the last nine games. We think they will allow a couple goals here but we don’t see their offense doing too much today and they will have to rely on the defense if they want to be competitive here. These are two of the worst ranked offenses in the NHL for goals per game and we don’t see either team really breaking out here. Nice value on the under tonight as we don’t have to lay too much juice. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Raptors v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad/embarrassing loss, and that is the case here for the Bucks on Wednesday as they suffered an embarrassing home defeat last time out to the Pistons (they were 17-point favorites; we had the Pistons plus the points). That snapped a six-game winning streak. We think the Bucks are in a good spot to bounce back here. Toronto has been playing well but are coming in on a back-to-back. They have done well in these situations, but they become harder as the season wears on. This is also their third game in four nights, while the Bucks are well rested as they have had a much lighter schedule. But Milwaukee should be ultra motivated tonight. A big win here puts that Detroit loss well in the rearview mirror and can be chalked up as a bad night. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Blues v. Penguins -130 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
We have to roll with the NHL’s hottest team as the Pens have notched eight straight wins. They are coming off an eight-goal performance last time out against San Jose and their offense has been almost unstoppable during this win streak. St. Louis is 2-7 in their last nine road games and this team just hasn’t been playing well away from home overall despite winning the last two on the road. These are two very good teams but we see the Penguins rolling again here and we just don’t think the Blues will be able to match their offensive output here for this Wednesday matchup. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Bowling Green +8.5 v. Buffalo | 88-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #735 Bowling Green over Buffalo (7p.m., Wednesday, January 5 ESPN3) These two teams appear to be heading in opposite directions. The Falcons are not a top team in the MAC but they have won 5 of their last 6 games. Buffalo has lost three straight games and they might be playing this game without Josh Mballa. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +7.5 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
New Orleans has been playing some of the best basketball they have played this season and they have won five of their last eight SU. They fell back to earth a little bit, losing three of their last four. But we feel this is a good spot for them as a home underdog. The Suns have lost three of their last five and they have covered in only three of six. This team is facing Covid issues, while the Pelicans are relatively healthy. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Sharks v. Red Wings OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 28 h 37 m | Show |
Both teams have been trending to the over, and we expect the offenses to rule the ice here again on Tuesday. San Jose has given up 5 or more goals in three of their last four matchups. Six of their last nine games have gone over the posted total. Detroit has gone over in 8 of 10. The Wings have been struggling lately and we see them giving up a bunch of goals in this one, and we will go with the hotter side as the Sharks have looked good on offense recently. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs +7 v. Raptors | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Spurs were playing some of their best basketball of the season but then they had one of their games postponed, had a long layoff, and were rusty and lost their momentum. We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses. This team has one of the best coaches in the game and can get the team back on track quickly, and they have been one of the best ATS teams this season, and this line looks a couple points too high. Also we will take a crack at the under as we expected this total under 220 as the Raptors have one of the better defenses in the NBA. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors UNDER 225 | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
The Spurs were playing some of their best basketball of the season but then they had one of their games postponed, had a long layoff, and were rusty and lost their momentum. We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses.

|||||||
01-04-22 | Michigan v. Rutgers +4 | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #614 Rutgers over Michigan (7p.m., Tuesday, January 4 BTN) Michigan continues to be overvalued and I believe Rutgers is the more talented team. Getting points and playing at home is too good to pass up. Rutgers is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Look for this game to go down to the wire and Rutgers will pull it out by a bucket. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Pistons +16.5 v. Bucks | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Detroit is 7-4 ATS when catching double digit points. We always want to see if there is a chance for the underdog when catching this many points. The Pistons played well last time out in an OT upset win over the Spurs. Detroit has covered five of their last six on the road against quality opponents. Detroit is a team that plays hard despite a lack of talent. We see them possibly keeping this one around double digits. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Wisconsin +12.5 v. Purdue | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #867 Wisconsin over Purdue (7p.m., Monday, January 3 BTN) This is just too many points for a conference game, as both teams will be high seeds in the NCAA Tournament come March. The Badgers have won 8 of their last 9 games and should be able to keep this deficit around 7-10 points. They will be dominated in the paint but should be able to hold their own at the guard position. Wisconsin is 11-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 18 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Purdue is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

4 Unit Play. Take #109 Over in Arizona Cardinals @ Dallas Cowboys (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Arizona has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games played during the month of January. Dallas has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 13 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Cardinals v. Cowboys -5 | 25-22 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #110 Dallas Cowboys over Arizona Cardinals (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Arizona is in freefall at the moment and will travel to AT&T Stadium having lost 3 straight games. Their offense is not what is was earlier in the season and Dallas has a strong defense that can create turnovers. Dallas is coming off a dominating win last week against Washington and look for another double-digit victory Sunday afternoon in what will be a high scoring game. Arizona is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Dallas is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against NFC opponents. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -102 | 118 h 15 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #125 Detroit Lions over Seattle Seahawks (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Seattle is coming off a bad loss to the Bears and the reality of a bad season is starting to set in with them. They have make major changes in the offseason and they do not even have their first round draft pick in 2022. Detroit has been more competitive of late winning against Arizona and should have won against Atlanta last Sunday. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Seattle is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of January. Seattle has too many issues on both sides of the football to be this big of a favorite. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Broncos v. Chargers -5.5 | 13-34 | Win | 101 | 118 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Los Angeles Chargers over Denver Broncos (4:05p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Denver has seen their playoff changes fall apart, losing 3 of their last 4 games. They now must play back-to-back road games and they will get an angry Chargers teams. Los Angeles is coming off a bad loss to Houston, but in typical Charger fashion expect them to win this game big. Denver has quarterback issues, and their head coach is fighting with players. Denver is 8-18 ATS in their last 26 divisional games. Los Angeles is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | UCF v. SMU -4 | 60-72 | Win | 101 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #778 SMU over Central Florida (2p.m., Sunday, January 2 ESPNU) Two of the top teams in the AAC are set to do battle today in Dallas. The Mustangs will enter having won 7 straight games and all of those wins have come over today’s posted number. UFC is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. SMU is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning road record. |

01-02-22 | Chiefs v. Bengals OVER 49 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 115 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #115 Over in Kansas City Chiefs @ Cincinnati Bengals (1p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Both teams can light up the scoreboard and a top seed in the AFC is on the line when these two teams meet in the Queen City. Kansas City has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games played during the month of January. Cincinnati has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 home games. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Dolphins +3.5 v. Titans | 3-34 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #119 Miami Dolphins over Tennessee Titans (1p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Both teams are coming off impressive wins, but the Dolphins are the hottest team in the league having won 7 straight games. Tennessee still is not the same team without Derrick Henry and I do not see them blowing out red-hot Miami team in this game. The Dolphins are 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 games as an underdog. The Titans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against the Dolphins. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | San Diego State -3 v. UNLV | 62-55 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #663 San Diego State over UNLV (4p.m., Saturday, January 1 CBS) The Rebels have a new coach and I do not believe they are ready yet to challenge for the top of the MWC. SDSU is always the team to beat and they want to open the season 1-0 in conference play. The Aztecs will enter having won their last 3 games and will pull away late to win this game by 7-10 points. SDSU is 17-6 ATS in their last 23 road games. UNLV is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Baylor v. Iowa State +9 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #624 Iowa State over Baylor (2p.m., Saturday, January 1 ESPNU) Iowa State has been one of the surprise teams thus far this season. Baylor is also undefeated and the defending National Champions but I do not believe they are as strong this season as they were last April. Iowa State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Kentucky -2.5 v. Iowa | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 91 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #279 Kentucky Wildcats over Iowa Hawkeyes (1p.m., Saturday, January 1 ABC) CITRUS BOWL Iowa got exposed for playing in the Big 10 West and expect Kentucky to beat them at their own game on Saturday. Kentucky has a better offense this year than they have had in past years and do not have to win games via a defensive struggle. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. Kentucky is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 nonconference games. |

12-31-21 | Georgia v. Michigan +7.5 | 34-11 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #270 Michigan Wolverines over Georgia Bulldogs (7:30p.m., Friday, December 31 ESPN) ORANGE BOWL Georgia dominated a weak SEC East and they were exposed by Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Michigan passed both of their tests in the last two games of the regular season, and they are playing with confidence entering this game. Georgia will need to run the football to take pressure off Stetson Bennett, as I do not believe he will be up for this big of a game. The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight-up loss in their previous game. Michigan is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a win in their previous game. |

12-31-21 | Cincinnati v. Alabama UNDER 57.5 | Top | 6-27 | Win | 100 | 69 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #273 Under in Cincinnati Bearcats vs Alabama Crimson Tide (Friday, December 31 3:30 p.m. ESPN) COTTON BOWL Cincinnati has been given little chance to win this game, but they are experienced on both sides of the football. Both teams feature a defensive minded head coach and I believe Cincinnati will have to keep the scoring low to have a chance to win this game. Cincinnati has gone under the posed total in 24 of their last 30 games (1 push) when they are an underdog. Alabama has gone under the posted total in 3 of their last 5 bowl games (1 push). |

4 Unit Play. Take #261 Arizona State Sun Devils over Wisconsin Badgers (10:30p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN) LAS VEGAS BOWL All season long the metrics have overrated this Wisconsin team. Their quarterback struggled much of the season and if opponents can stop the run this team struggles to move the football. Jayden Daniels is playing in this game and he can beat you with his arm and his legs. Both teams are missing key players and thus I expect this to be a defensive battle that goes down to the wire. Wisconsin is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. Arizona State is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against Big 10 teams. |

12-30-21 | Tenn-Martin +5.5 v. Austin Peay | 65-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #787 UT Martin over Austin Peay (8:30p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN+) The Skyhawks have played a tough schedule this year and thus their 4-8 record does not indicate how good they are in the OVC. The Governors are coming off 3 straight losses and this will be their first home game since December 5th. I do not see them running away with this game. Austin Peay is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |

12-30-21 | Purdue v. Tennessee -4.5 | Top | 48-45 | Loss | -110 | 215 h 33 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #257 Tennessee Volunteers over Purdue Boilermakers (3p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN) MUSIC CITY BOWL Just believe Purdue underachieved this season and now will be without David Bell and George Karlaftis for this game. Throw in the face this game is played in Nashville giving the Volunteers a big home field advantage and I expect Tennessee to win this game by double-digits. Purdue was in this same bowl in 2018 and got run over by a so-so SEC team and that same situation presents itself on Thursday. Tennessee held their own in the SEC West and has a first year head coach that wants to finish off the season the right way. They have won 3 of their last 4 games (only loss to Georgia) and should be able to outscore Purdue in this game. Purdue struggles to score points and they need their defense to create situations for their offense. Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Big 10 teams. Purdue is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 bowl games. |

12-29-21 | Mavs v. Kings OVER 219.5 | 94-95 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
Dallas has been one of the best under teams all season, but the lines have dropped and they have picked up the pace, and the over has now hit in four of five for them. They face a bad defense tonight, and they should put up a nice share of points to get this one over the number. Dallas scored 116 and 132 in their last two games. Sacramento has one of the worst defenses in the league. Yet they have a Top 10 offense. We think both teams get their points tonight in what looks like a close game. |

12-29-21 | Tennessee v. Alabama -2.5 | 68-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Alabama over Tennessee (9p.m., Wednesday, December 29 ESPN2) Just not a fan of Tennessee this year despite their 9-2 record. Alabama has a great win over Gonzaga but they faltered in two of their last three games. They do not want to lose this game at home and expect them to comeback strong tonight. Tennessee is 4-11 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 17 games played on Wednesdays. Alabama is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on Wednesdays. |

12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn OVER 142.5 | 55-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #659 Over in LSU @ Auburn (7p.m., Wednesday, December 29 ESPN2) Auburn is playing at home and expect them to dictate the tempo in this game. LSU has gone over the posted total in 37 of their last 52 road games. Auburn has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 12 home games when they are the favorite. This battle of Tigers will be high scoring. |

12-29-21 | Arkansas v. Mississippi State -3 | 68-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #696 Mississippi State over Arkansas (5p.m., Wednesday, December 29 SECN) Just do not believe Arkansas is that good or talented this season. They have one quality win from their 10 and will enter having lost two of their last three games. The Bulldogs have played a more challenging schedule and their 9-3 record is pretty good. This game is more important to State, as they do not want to lose conference home games against similar competition. Look for the Bulldogs to pull away late and win this game by 6-8 points. |

12-28-21 | Cavs -4.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Cleveland is by far the best ATS team in the NBA, and they still hold value in the odds as the public bettors are not big on this team with the absence of any big stars. But this team plays great fundamental basketball and strong defense, and they are absolutely a playoff team and one that could put a scare into one of the contenders. They are on a different level then the Pels, and we see another comfortable win SU and ATS here as the odds are in our favor again. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Nets v. Clippers +4 | 124-108 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Paul George is out for a while, but we think this Clippers team will be a good Buy Low option in the coming weeks. This team has playoff talent without Kawhi and George, and their role players will need to step up in the absence of their stars. We think these guys will elevate their games, and we see this as a coin flip game tonight, so getting this many points with the home dog provides solid value. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Jazz v. Spurs +7.5 | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Jazz are on an 0-5 ATS slide and the oddsmakers have them overvalued at the moment compared to their play on the court. They have been winning but not blowing teams out, and their best player should be sidelined tonight. The Spurs have been extremely impressive recently, and they have one of the best coaches in the league who can keep this team motivated instead of being Fat and Happy after a few wins. We think the home team has a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets UNDER 235 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
We expect a close game here and we think the total is way too high. These teams don’t play often, but they have a strong history to the under as 21 of the last 29 meetings have gone under the posted number. We had the number handicapped at 228, and we expect the Hornets to have a letdown game here as they haven’t played at home a in a long time (Dec 10 was their last home game), and the first game back home after a long layoff can be a tricky spot for the home team. |

12-27-21 | Western Michigan v. Nevada +7 | 52-24 | Loss | -110 | 139 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #234 Nevada Wolf Pack over Western Michigan Broncos (11a.m., Monday, December 27 ESPN) QUICK LANE BOWL This line has swung two touchdowns with Nevada being without their coach and quarterback. But this is still an early start again and is just an average team from a weaker conference. Nevada has a coaching staff that wants to make a name for themselves and I believe they can make this game competitive. Western Michigan is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Nevada is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. |

12-26-21 | Pistons v. Spurs -11 | 109-144 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play #542 Take San Antonio over Detroit (7 p.m. EST, Sunday Dec 26) The Spurs became Los Angeles legends before the Xmas break by beating both the Lakers and Clippers for the last official games at Staples Center before the name change. Both games were impressive blowouts. You might think the Xmas break would stymie momentum, but this team has one of the best coaches in the NBA and we think they will keep the positive momentum going against one of the worst teams in the NBA, who are probably going to be distracted playing away from home on the day after a holiday. |
