12-08-21 | Utah Valley v. Southern Utah -6 | 56-60 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Southern Utah over Utah Valley (9p.m., Wednesday, December 8 ESPN+) The Thunderbirds have rebounded after a tough start to the season to win four straight games and will win this game tonight by double-digits. Southern Utah is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

12-08-21 | Thunder +7 v. Raptors | 110-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
OKC is another one of those bad teams that are good against the spread. They play hard and have a good floor leader but they don’t yet know how to close out games. That is ATS gold. They have covered seven of their last 10 despite going 2-8 SU during that span. They are 14-9 ATS on the season despite a 7-16 SU record. We think they are getting too many points here again. Toronto is 0-3 ATS this season as a favorite of three or more points. We like to back a team off an embarrassing loss and that was OKC when they suffered the worst defeat in NBA history last week. They had an off night. It happens. But they bounce back nicely with a win and a cover, and we think they will want to play well for two straight games at least to get the bad taste of last week’s game out of their collective mouth. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Bulls v. Cavs -2.5 | Top | 92-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
The Cavs are a team we targeted early in the season as a serious ATS threat, and they have been just that, with an 18-7 ATS mark that is one of the best in the NBA. And this team can really keep going strong all season as they are not a popular team with bettors with no superstar players. But this team plays strong team basketball and lock-down defense, which is a great recipe for ATS success. This team certainly looks like a playoff team and a team on the rise. The Bulls are right behind the Cavs on the ATS leaderboards. But they will be missing some players tonight, and depth is already an issue with this team. DeRozan is out because of Covid protocols, and they are missing some role players as well. The Cavs have covered eight straight games, but they lost two in a row to the Jazz and Bucks. This is a great spot for them to get back on the winning track, and we see a comfortable win here. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Wizards v. Pistons +5.5 | 119-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Detroit is a bad team but one that plays hard and covers on a regular basis, especially when catching decent points. The Wizards haven’t been great as a favorite as they are 4-7 ATS as a favorite of three or more points. They are also 1-5-1 ATS in their seven road games this season against sub.-500 teams. The Wizards have lost three straight and four of five, and they just aren’t in good form right now. We don’t think they are deserving of laying this many points on the road to a decent ATS team. This is a winnable game for the home team, and we think they go all out to make this a competitive one on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -4.5 | 59-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #680 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Wednesday, December 8 BTN) Both teams sit at 7-1 on the season but the Badgers only loss came when their best player Johnny Davis did not play. Indiana has not recorded any quality wins this season against teams that will make the NCAA tournament and they have a terrible record when playing in Madison. Indiana is 0-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 road games. Wisconsin is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Villanova v. Syracuse +9 | 67-53 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #640 Syracuse over Villanova (9:30p.m., Tuesday, December 7 ESPN) Syracuse has been up and down this season but they match up well against Villanova and believe this game will stay in single digits. The Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Syracuse is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a underdog. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Charlotte v. Arkansas OVER 142.5 | 66-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #633 Over in Charlotte @ Arkansas (9p.m., Tuesday, December 7 SECN) Arkansas is a top 25 team in points scored and I expect them to score close to 90 points tonight. Charlotte has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games. The Razorbacks have gone over the posted total in 4 straight games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Nets v. Mavs UNDER 219 | 102-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the under, with 3 of 4 for each team, or a combined 6-2, run for the under. The Dallas offense has failed to reach the century mark in all those three games that went under. They put up a big total against New Orleans, one of the worst defenses in the league (but managed only 91 in the rematch). They face a Brooklyn team that is Top 10 defensively this season, and the Dallas defense isn’t too far behind them. We think this total was overadjusted upwards. |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Texas Tech v. Tennessee -3.5 | 57-52 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #614 Tennessee over Texas Tech (7p.m., Tuesday, December 7 ESPN) Tennessee has recovered nicely since getting pounded by Villanova to win five straight games, all of them by double digits. Texas Tech has a first-year head coach and they do not have any quality wins on the season. They lost to Providence and have been off for close to a week and I do not think that is a good thing in this situation. Texas Tech is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with a winning record. Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Patriots +3 v. Bills | Top | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 148 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #475 New England Patriots over Buffalo Bills (8:15p.m., Monday, December 6 ESPN) First place in the AFC East is on the line in this game as New England travels to Buffalo to take on the Bills. New England will enter having won 6 straight games and if they can keep it close they will likely win it straight up. All of Buffalo’s 7 wins this season have come via blowouts. That means if New England can keep it close early, Buffalo will likely find a way to lose it. The road team is 22-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 32 meetings between New England and Buffalo. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Nuggets v. Bulls -3 | 97-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Both teams have looked good recently but we believe the Bulls are in better form, and this line is short in our opinion as we had this one handicapped at 6.5. The Nuggets are getting into the middle of this long road trip and that is when the fatigue starts to set in. They have also been playing a bit over their heads recently with all the injuries they have. We think the home team has a great chance for a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Grizzlies v. Heat -4.5 | 105-90 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Memphis has won four straight, but those were against opponents with some questions. They face a much tougher task tonight, and Miami is the better team with Ja Morant out for the Grizzlies. Miami has had a pretty tough schedule lately, but this looks like a good spot for them, and they might get some key players back tonight as well. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Thunder v. Pistons OVER 202.5 | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
As far as we can remember, this is the lowest total of the season posted at sportsbooks. We have to take a shot at the over here, especially since the NBA is trending towards the over recently. OKC allowed 152 in their last game against Memphis. The Pistons have allowed 110 or more in the last three games. These defenses will give the offenses opportunities to score, and this total is very low. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Illinois v. Iowa -2.5 | Top | 87-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #872 Iowa over Illinois (7p.m., Monday, December 6 FS1) Iowa needs this game to avoid dropping both early conference games. Illinois has not played all that well this season and most of their damage has come at home. They have not won any true road games this season and I am not sure if they will be able to keep pace with Iowa in this game in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes are a top 4 team in scoring this season and if they hit that number today, they should win this game by double-digits. Illinois is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Monday. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Illinois and Iowa. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games as well between Illinois and Iowa. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Ravens -4 v. Steelers | 19-20 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #469 Baltimore Ravens over Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 5 CBS) Just have no confidence in Pittsburgh at this moment, especially on the offensive side of the football. Baltimore struggled on offense last week against Cleveland, but I feel they are better on both sides of the football in this game. The Steelers defense is not what it appears to be, as they rank close to the bottom in a bunch of defensive categories. The road team is 7-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. The Ravens are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games played during the month of December. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Vikings v. Lions +7 | 27-29 | Win | 100 | 117 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #452 Detroit Lions over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, December 5 CBS) Minnesota is coming off a loss last week to San Francisco and playing on the road for a second straight week will doom them in. This was a 2 point game when these teams met earlier this season and I think this game will go down to the wire as well. Detroit has extra rest and playing a familiar division foe should allow them to be competitive for 60 minutes. Minnesota is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Eagles -6.5 v. Jets | 33-18 | Win | 100 | 117 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #461 Philadelphia Eagles over New York Jets (1p.m., Sunday, December 5 CBS) No play against the Jets is a bad play and they are facing a team that has won 2 of their last 3 games. Philadelphia cannot afford to lose to both New York teams in consecutive weeks. The Jets have never beaten the Eagles going 0-11 lifetime. The Jets have quarterback issues and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against NFC teams. Philadelphia will take care of the football and win this game by double digits. The Eagles have covered the spread in 5 straight games against the Jets. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Celtics v. Blazers OVER 211 | 145-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Boston’s offense came alive last night in a losing effort at Utah, but they scored 130, and if they can get anywhere near that tonight this bet will be an easy cash. That is doubtful, but with this low total we don’t need that many points from the visiting team. Boston has the much better defense, but they will be tired tonight and we don’t see them being that effective. But the Blazers defense hasn’t been good, and we think both teams get their points tonight. Five of the last six meetings in Portland have gone over the posted number. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Clippers v. Kings +1 | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
The Clippers played probably their most complete game of the season last night vs. the Lakers. But this team has been incredibly inconsistent, and this is a prime letdown spot after they go up against and beat their biggest rival then they face Sacramento on the road in a back-to-back. Paul George has ankle issues but is expected to play. The Kings beat this team in LA last time out, and they are rested. They also have wins over the Lakers and Blazers recently, so this team is playing well even though they have some head scratching losses too. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Spurs +8.5 v. Warriors | Top | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
We just think this is a huge letdown spot for the Warriors after they snapped the Suns winning streak last night. They played two straight against the Suns and also had a game against the Clippers, who are more of a rival than the Spurs, who aren’t really moving the needle from an excitement standpoint at the moment. But the Spurs have won three straight and covered in four of five games, and we see a competitive game here tonight. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Alabama v. Gonzaga -9.5 | 91-82 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Gonzaga -9.5 over Alabama (8p.m., Saturday, December 4 ESPN2) Alabama has a bad loss this season to Iona and making this cross-country flight to Seattle will doom them in. Gonzaga has a statewide following in Washington in people in Seattle will be excited to see them on Saturday night. Gonzaga is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Maple Leafs -113 v. Wild | 3-4 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Toronto -120 over Minnesota (Saturday at 7pm) As per your selection, it's not every day you get the hottest team in the league at this low of a price. The Leafs have been the best team in the league for the last month or so and now get to take on a Minnesota team that has also won five straight. The difference in this will be the defensive side of the ice as the Leafs are in the top 10 in all major defensive categories while the wild are upwards of 16th or worse. The Leafs know this is a big game and I expect them to come out and win this game. |
|||||||
12-04-21 | Georgia v. Alabama +6.5 | Top | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 96 h 45 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #318 Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (4p.m., Saturday, December 4 CBS) Georgia has the best defense in the country but they have not played a quarterback like Bryce Young. Alabama will be able to move the football and put-up points against this defense and I am not sold on how Georgia will respond when that occurs. Stetson Bennett is a game manager, and I was not impressed with him last season. He has been efficient this season but has not faced any pressure. Alabama needs this game to make the college football playoff and Georgia will still make the playoff even if they lose this game. That is a big difference and will allow Alabama to win this game straight-up. The underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Georgia and Alabama. The Crimson Tide is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Clippers v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 119-115 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
We rarely take the Lakers for expert picks. They are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and they are normally one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA. But bettor confidence is down for them at the moment, and we had them laying five in this game tonight in our NBA handicapping. The Clippers just look lost lately. They were beaten soundly in their last two games – by the Kings and Pelicans, two of the worst teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been more competitive lately and they have won three out of four, and they will have their full complement of the Big 3 tonight. The Clippers have been playing very bad defense, and we see the Lakers cruising to an easy win here. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Celtics v. Jazz OVER 209.5 | 130-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
The Jazz are really playing well offensively. They have scored 118 or more in six of their last eight games. Boston is a good defensive team, but we don’t see them doing enough to slow the home team down, and we think the Jazz can easily get over 110 here, and we think this will be a pretty competitive game as we lean to Boston ATS, so we think the road team will get their fair share of points also. The over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Utah. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Pelicans v. Mavs OVER 216 | 107-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, and the Mavs scored 139. New Orleans has a horrible defense. Even if they make some adjustments, we don’t see how they will do much better here. Even if they cut 15 points off that total it wouldn’t be nearly enough. And there is a good chance the Pelicans play better on offense here as this will likely be more competitive than a 30+-point blowout. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Oregon v. Utah -2.5 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 76 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306 Utah Utes over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Saturday, December 4 FOX) Rematches can be tricky but I just believe Utah has the better quarterback and the better all-around team. Utah beat Oregon 38-7 two weeks ago and the Utes will enter having won 5 straight games. The Utes are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 conference games. Oregon is 8-20 ATS in tier last 28 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Utah wins the PAC-12 and heads to Pasadena. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | College of Charleston +7.5 v. Furman | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #843 Charleston over Furman (7p.m., Friday, December 3 ESPN+) Both teams are 5-2 on the season and Charleston’s two losses have come against Oklahoma State and North Carolina. I think they will be competitive in this game and go down to the wire. Furman has a bad loss on the season to Navy and struggled to blowout out their last two opponents in USC Update and High Point. The road team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games between Charleston and Furman. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Cowboys v. Saints UNDER 46 | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #301 Under in Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints (8:20p.m., Thursday, December 2 FOX) Both teams come into this game struggling and expect it to be a low scoring game. That is how New Orleans will need to win game going forward, as they have issues at quarterback and will also be without their running back. Dallas has gone under the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games when they are a road favorite. New Orleans has gone under the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games (1 push) played on Thursday. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Thunder v. Grizzlies OVER 212.5 | 79-152 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies have really been playing great on offense recently, minus their last game against the Raptors. But we think they can put up a big number here tonight. The Thunder are coming in on a back-to-back, and they looked tired in the fourth quarter, allowing Houston to rally and score at will. We think that will carry over here, and the Grizzlies could very possibly score in the 120 range. The over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings, and we expect that trend to stay true tonight. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bruins -105 v. Predators | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Boston -120 over Nashville (Thursday at 8pm) Great 5* winner yesterday as Edmonton easily dispatched of Pittsburgh. Let's keep the momentum going today. As per your selection on the above plays, we are rolling with our stats model on these plays as each play is priced at a very good line and we feel we are getting the better team in the better situational spot in each one of these contests. Let's have a night and go 3-0. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bulls v. Knicks OVER 209.5 | 119-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bulls have scored 123 or more in two of their last three games, so they are feeling it offensively even though those were against two bad defensive teams. But they just need a good offensive game here and this one will likely sail over the total. The Knicks haven’t been as good defensively as last season. And after a streak of unders, two of the last three games for NY have gone over the posted number, and we think the bookies have overadjusted this total as well. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bucks v. Raptors OVER 215 | 93-97 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bucks offense is humming, and they have gone over in three straight. 114 was their lowest point total in their last seven games. If they get anywhere close to their recent average, this will be an easy cash. This total was adjusted downward because of Toronto, who have played in three straight under games. But we think their offense will benefit from the pace here, and we doubt their defense can do much to slow down the Bucks offense tonight. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Kings v. Clippers -8 | 124-115 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
We love to back a good team off an embarrassing loss. Not sure the Clips are a good team yet as they have been wildly inconsistent this season. But they are certainly off a very embarrassing loss as they were blown out at home by New Orleans. They were on a B2B in that game after a tough game against the Warriors, but now it is the Kings that are on a B2B. They were blown out by a Lakers team that has looked worse than the Clippers, and LeBron James was out with Covid. They really faded in the second half and looked out of energy, and that is a bad sign against a Clippers team that has owned them the last couple years (10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings). |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Penguins v. Oilers -121 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Edmonton -130 over Pittsburgh (Wednesday at 10pm) As per your selection on Edmonton, they've been sitting at home waiting for the Penguins since Saturday and they've been playing some good hockey having won three straight. They get a Pittsburgh team who have played poorly of late losing two straight. The Pens simply can't keep the puck out of their net and we see a rested Oilers team being too much for the Pens to handle. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Texas Tech v. Providence +3 | Top | 68-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #716 Providence over Texas Tech (8:30p.m., Wednesday, December 1 FS1) Just believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. Texas Tech has a new coach and they have played a terrible schedule thus far in 2021. It is really embarrassing that they have played six cupcakes at home. Providence is 6-1 on the season with a victory at Wisconsin and their only loss coming at Virginia. Texas Tech is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games. Providence is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | Top | 114-110 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This is a rapid revenge spot for the Thunder as these teams played Monday and the Rockets blew out OKC in Texas. Now we have a venue change where OKC is at home, and we think they are the better team despite the records by a considerable margin. At 13-7, OKC is one of the better ATS teams in the NBA. They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10, so they are playing above oddsmaker expectations. Houston is just not a good team and they don’t handle success well as they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. The Rockets are 1-8 ATS in their last nine meetings in OKC. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | 76ers v. Celtics UNDER 206.5 | 87-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Six of the last nine meetings have gone under the posted total. We like the way the Celtics have been playing defense. They have really been concentrating on that aspect as a team, and it is showing on the court. They have held three of their last four opponents under the century mark, and there’s a good chance that happens here as well as the Sixers have been offensively challenged lately. We see this as a close, low-scoring game, and as long as there is no OT we should cover here easy. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Lakers -3.5 v. Kings | 117-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
We rarely take the Lakers as they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers, but we think this is a good spot. LA is getting healthy, and they need a win here and should be extra motivated after losing to the Kings recently. This is more than a fair number for the much better team on the road. These teams have both been terrible ATS, but the Lakers have been shackled with shaded lines by the oddsmakers, while the Kings always get the benefit of very favorable lines. We think the road team gets a 7+-point win here. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Pistons +9.5 v. Blazers | 92-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Portland has just been a very mediocre team this season, and they are getting lined here according to their potential and not their play on the court. They come into this one in lousy form, having lost three straight SU and ATS. Detroit is a young team that is going to have some bad losses, but there is some talent here and they have been a very good bet as a big underdog as they normally play hard for a full four quarters. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Long Beach State v. San Diego State OVER 137.5 | 47-72 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #639 Over in Long Beach State @ San Diego State (10p.m., Tuesday, November 30) The Beach is allowing 87 points per game and if they hit that mark on Tuesday this game should easily go over the posted total. Long Beach State has gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 29 road games. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Clemson +1.5 v. Rutgers | 64-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #629 Clemson over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, November 20 ESPN2) This play is just a fade against Rutgers, a team that does not seem right at this point of the season. Rutgers is coming off three straight losses against teams that will not make the NCAA tournament. Rutgers is 0-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. This is a rematch of the NCAA Tournament, and this time Clemson will get the victory. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Grizzlies v. Raptors OVER 216 | 98-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the over. The over is 7-0 in the Grizzlies last seven games. Seven of the last nine games for Toronto have gone over. With Ja Morant out for Memphis, the oddsmakers can’t make the total too high. But this one is once again too low. Both these teams have been allowing lots of points. And this should be a close game and both teams will get their points to get this one over the posted total. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Cavs +6.5 v. Mavs | 114-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland continues to be one of the best ATS teams in the league at 13-7 ATS, and they have covered in their last three games as well. The Mavs are one of the worst ATS teams this season and they are regularly overrated by the oddsmakers. No one wants to bet this team with no stars, and the Mavs have some star power that hasn’t translated into the expected success on the court this season. In fact, these teams have very similar records, and we expect a close game tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Pacers v. Wolves OVER 216.5 | 98-100 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Minnesota is trending to the over and three straight games and four of five have gone over the posted total. Also, four of the last five meetings have gone over the posted number. The Pacers are the better defensive team, but they are coming in on a back-to-back and we think Minnesota will bring the pace here tonight. The Pacers will be use their energy to run instead of on defense. |

11-29-21 | Magic +14 v. 76ers | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
When a team is catching this many points, you have to look for a reason to back them. Since these are normally bad teams, you need to usually look at the other team and see if there are chinks in the armor. In our opinion, Philly hasn’t played like a team that should be laying this many points. They have covered in only two of their last 10 games. They are finally getting healthy, but this team hasn’t exactly been dominant when healthy this season. We think the Magic will be competitive in this one, and the players are probably even aware of this huge point spread and could use it for fire. |

11-29-21 | Iowa v. Virginia -1.5 | 75-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #806 Virginia over Iowa (7p.m., Monday, November 29 ESPN2) Iowa has played cupcakes thus far in 2021 to amass a 6-0 record. This will be their first game against a real opponent and Virginia is not the type of team you want to play in this situation. Iowa is 0-8 in their last 8 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Virginia is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Pistons v. Lakers UNDER 215.5 | 106-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a battle against the teams involved in that dustup over a LeBron James elbow last week, and as a result this game will be more contentious than a regular season game against two teams playing badly normally would. We see a hard-fought game on both sides where both teams step up the defensive intensity, and the Pistons are very bad offensively and will have to rely on pace and defense to stay within striking distance and a chance for a win here. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Browns v. Ravens -3.5 | 10-16 | Win | 100 | 103 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #272 Baltimore Ravens over Cleveland Browns (8:20 p.m., Sunday, November 28 NBC) Cleveland is in disarray at the quarterback position, as Baker Mayfield continues to play poorly and is also injured. Baltimore survived last week without their starting quarterback and should play much better this week with Lamar Jackson back behind center. Cleveland is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games prior to a bye and had to hang on for dear life last week against the winless Lions. Cleveland is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against the NFC North. Baltimore is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against Cleveland. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Stanford v. Colorado -3.5 | 76-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Colorado -4 over Stanford (7p.m., Sunday, November 28 PAC12N) Stanford has never put together a strong season under Jerod Haas and I do not expect this will be the year he turns it around. Both of their losses have come by blowouts and this game double be a double-digit victory for the home team. Stanford is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The favorite has covered 5 of the last 7 matchups between Stanford and Colorado. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies -3 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Both teams have similar records, but the Grizzlies have a much higher ceiling and they have underachieved to start the season, while the Kings have been what we expected from them. And we are getting a nice line here because Morant, the best player on the court for Memphis, is missing. But this team still has a lot of talent, and their offense has been humming lately. In a game that won’t feature much defense, we see the home team pulling away in the fourth quarter. |

4 Unit Play. Take #265 Los Angeles Chargers over the Denver Broncos (4:05 p.m., Sunday, November 28 CBS) Denver returns after their bye week to host the Chargers, a team that is much better than them on offense. Denver is 11-23 ATS in their last 34 divisional games. Philadelphia won at Denver last time out, and Los Angeles won a Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. Denver is just 2-5 in their last 7 games, and they will likely be making a coaching change come season’s end. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors v. Clippers UNDER 215.5 | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Both teams combined are 24-14 to the under this season. The Warriors have one of the best defenses in the NBA this season. They are No. 1 in points allowed, and the Clippers aren’t far behind at No. 3. The problem is with LA is that they can’t get consistent scoring, and that is why they are struggling. We don’t think we can count on their offense here, but they should play solid defense against the dynamic Golden State offense. We don’t see them in a shootout here, so they will have to rely on their defense to keep them in the game. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Titans +6.5 v. Patriots | 13-36 | Loss | -101 | 96 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #251 Tennessee Titans over New England Patriots (1 p.m., Sunday, November 28 CBS) Everyone is on the Patriots bandwagon with the way they have been playing of late. Tennessee was embarrassed last week at home against Houston, but good teams usually bounce back when that happens, and today will be no different. New England has not been as strong of a team at home compared to on the road, and this is just too many points to be giving against an 8-3 team. Tennessee is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Notre Dame -19 v. Stanford | 45-14 | Win | 100 | 79 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #207 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Stanford Cardinal (8 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FOX) Not sure why this is a primetime game since Stanford is one of the worst teams in college football this season. They are ravaged with injuries, and they are playing a team that is desperate to make a statement. Notre Dame still has a shot to make the CFP with some help and looked good last week destroying Georgia Tech by a score of 55-0. Stanford has gotten blown out the last three week by Utah, Oregon State, and Cal. Notre Dame is better than all those teams. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Suns v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 113-107 | Loss | -101 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
We think this is a great spot for the Nets, who have been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately. They are well rested here after having two nights off after a big win over Boston on Wednesday, while the Suns are on a back-to-back. They played a physical Knicks team last night. Phoenix has been playing extremely well overall lately, but they have had a very busy schedule this week and this road trip will start to wear on them. Brooklyn has had a lot of success in this series as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. And since these teams don’t see each other often, that trend stretched back for years. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Wisconsin v. Minnesota +7 | 13-23 | Win | 100 | 75 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #184 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Wisconsin Badgers (4 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FOX) Every year this game is played for Paul Bunyan’s Ax, but this year the game may also mean a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game. Nebraska showed last week that you can score points and move the football against this Wisconsin defense, and Minnesota should have similar success as well. Minnesota has the defense to stop the Wisconsin rushing attack. And if that happens, I do not believe QB Mertz can beat them through the air. It is very simple for Minnesota to take this game down to the wire, stop the run and avoid turnovers. The underdog is 9-4 ATS (1 push) in the last 14 matchups between Wisconsin and Minnesota. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Indiana v. Purdue -15 | Top | 7-44 | Win | 100 | 74 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #174 Purdue Boilermakers over Indiana Hoosiers (3:30 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FS1) BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR It can be dangerous laying this many points in the Old Oaken Bucket Game, but Indiana is the worst team in the Big Ten. Injuries have taken their toll on this team, and they have scored over 15 points just one time since September. The Hoosiers are just 2-9 ATS and are one of a handful of teams without a conference win in 2021. Purdue has covered the spread in 4 straight games against Indiana and are 9-3 ATS dating back to 2008. For Purdue to win and cover they need to take care of the football on offense and pressure the Indiana quarterback. If they do that, they should win by 20+ points. Purdue is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against Indiana in West Lafayette. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Oklahoma v. UCF +1.5 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #614 Central Florida over Oklahoma (2p.m., Saturday, November 27 ESPN+) UCF returns a ton of talent from last season and this is a team that should challenge for an NCAA come March. Oklahoma lost three starters from last season, and they also have a new coach and system in 2021. The Sooners are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games. That includes going 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. UCF already beat a similar team to Oklahoma in Miami and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Celtics -3 v. Spurs | Top | 88-96 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 48 m | Show |
Boston had been playing very well recently until they ran into a hot Brooklyn team and had kind of a bad loss on Wednesday. We think that was just a hiccup and this is a great spot for them to bounce back and get on track. Boston has found their defense and they have probably been playing some of the best defense in the NBA throughout the last 10 or so games before the Brooklyn loss. We expect them to be focused here against a very beatable opponent, and this line is more than fair laying a small number on the road. Boston has bounced back well after a loss as they are 4-0 ATS after losing a game. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hawks v. Grizzlies OVER 224.5 | 132-100 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis has been trending to the over with five straight games going over the posted total. Their offense has been steadily improving while their defense has been allowing lots of points on a regular basis. They have allowed 120+ on average in their last three games. Atlanta is a team that can put up a lot of points against a bad defense. Memphis is dead last in the NBA in points allowed. We see a close game here, just like the oddsmakers, and we think both teams will get their points. |

11-26-21 | Avalanche -120 v. Stars | 1-3 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Colorado -130 over Dallas (Friday at 7:30pm) As per your selection, where is Dallas going to find the offensive game to keep up with the Avs and score as many goals as them? I don't see it happening. Colorado ranks first in goals per game and first in shooting percentage. They've won six in a row and with no immediate lookahead spot or anything to constitute a letdown spot tonight, the Avs are the better team and we are getting them at a great price. The Stars are on a small two-game winning streak but that ends tonight. |

11-26-21 | Canadiens -114 v. Sabres | 1-4 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Montreal -120 over Buffalo (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Montreal, sooner or later they are going to break out of the funk they are in and what better time to do it than tonight against a piss-poor Sabres team that has dropped four straight. The Habs will have the better roster in this game (which isn't saying much) but it's about time they start performing to what they're capable of. Buffalo is a disaster defensively and I expect Montreal to put a few past Tokarski here tonight. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Syracuse +6 v. Auburn | 68-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #857 Syracuse +5.5 over Auburn (4:30p.m., Friday, November 26 ESPN2) Auburn still has injuries to key players and they have played 15 more minutes in this tournament. Syracuse played much better last night, and I see them taking this game down to the wire on Friday. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Auburn is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-26-21 | Pistons +12.5 v. Clippers | 96-107 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers were ON during their seven-game winning streak, but that seems pretty far in the rearview mirror and this team is OFF right now. They have lost four of six SU and ATS, and three of those losses have been by double digits. That’s not the type of form where the more popular team should be laying double digits to anyone, even the rebuilding Pistons. Detroit is battle tested lately and they have played a bunch of playoff type teams lately. They have been very competitive and haven’t lost a game in blowout fashion in a handful of games against teams in better form than LA. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last seven after a loss. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hurricanes v. Flyers +133 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia +125 over Carolina (Friday at 3:30pm) As per your selection on Philadelphia, this is a fade of Carolina as this is their last game of a six-game road trip and first game out in the eastern time zone since Friday Nov 12. On their road trip, they were in Vegas, California and Seattle and have lost the last two games and with a day in between games, with cross-country travel, we see them being a bit sluggish here and Philly being a great price for grabbing a win tonight. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa -1 v. Nebraska | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 48 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #125 Iowa Hawkeyes over Nebraska Cornhuskers (1:30 p.m., Friday, November 26 BTN) Nebraska is 29-19 in this series all-time, but Iowa has won 6 straight games. All of Nebraska’s 8 losses this season were by single digits, but they are without their starting quarterback for this game. Iowa is one of the most overrated 9-2 teams in the country, but they will not beat themselves and I do not see a back-up quarterback lighting up the scoreboard against them. Iowa is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games as a road favorite. Nebraska is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Arizona State v. Syracuse -1.5 | 84-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #794 Syracuse over Arizona State (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN2) Syracuse shot the ball poorly yesterday and look for betting things today against another bad team. ASU lost their best player to Kansas in the offseason, and I do not expect much from them in 2021-2022. Arizona State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 neutral site games. Syracuse is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Maryland -1.5 v. Richmond | 86-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #811 Maryland over Richmond (7p.m., Thursday, November 25 CBSSN) Richmond just does not seem to challenge for NCAA Tournament bids anymore. They have a coach that just does the bare minimum to keep his job each season and they already have two losses on the season against teams that will not make the NCAA Tournament come March. Maryland has a bad loss to George Mason, but they were ranked at the start of the season for a reason, they have talent. These schools do not play often but expect Maryland to knock out this mid-major. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys UNDER 51.5 | 36-33 | Loss | -107 | 27 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #108 Under in Las Vegas Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (4:30 p.m., Thursday, November 25 CBS) This line has been coming down all week, and we still like the under. The Raider’s offense has left the building, and I do not see things getting any better in this game against a strong Cowboys defense. Las Vegas has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games when they are a road underdog. Dallas has gone under the posted total in 4 straight games. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Bears v. Lions +3 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 23 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #106 Detroit Lions over Chicago Bears (12:30 p.m., Thursday, November 26 FOX) Detroit has been playing better of late, and this is their last chance for a national audience in 2021. The Bears have not been a good team on Thanksgiving, either, losing five straight games on Turkey Day. The Bears had a great opportunity to beat Baltimore last week, a team that was without their starting quarterback and they fell flat at the end. Chicago is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against NFC North teams. Detroit is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. |

11-25-21 | Connecticut v. Michigan State +2.5 | 60-64 | Win | 100 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #787 Michigan State over Connecticut (12p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN) Just not sure how much gas UCONN has left in the tank after playing a double overtime game yesterday. Michigan State is not getting much love from the polls thus far in 2021 but they are still a solid NCAA Tournament team. Michigan State is 27-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 38 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Raptors v. Grizzlies OVER 217 | 126-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Raptors are trending to the over, with five of their last six games going over the posted total. They face a very good Memphis offense that has scored 119 or more in three of four games. Toronto has been strong defensively at times this season, but not lately. They have given up 118 or more in four of five games. Both teams are trending to the over, and we expect a barnburner here, where the Grizzlies pull away in the fourth quarter for the cover. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Suns v. Cavs +8 | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Suns have that gaudy 14-3 record, but the Cavs have a better ATS record than do the Suns. They are one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 11-7 ATS. They have been in a bit of a slide lately as they faced an incredibly brutal schedule lately. And they didn’t embarrass themselves in any of those games and were always competitive. The Suns have faced a slew of Western Conference teams lately. They have been playing well. We think they might take a breather here and not give 100% against an out of conference team that isn’t going to move the needle nationally. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 106-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Orlando defense is barely even trying lately and they have given up 115 or more in three straight games and five of the last seven. The Hornets have faced a bunch of really good defensive teams lately, but they should be able to put up a massive number here, and getting over 120 for them seems likely to us, so the Magic won’t need to score much even in a blowout. Four of five meetings have gone over the posted total, and the Hornets have scored 120 or more in both of the last two meetings. Despite their poor offense, Orlando is 10-8 to the over, meaning the oddsmakers are posting too low totals for them on a regular basis. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Wisconsin v. St. Mary's +2.5 | 61-55 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #762 Saint Mary’s (CA) over Wisconsin (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN) The Gaels are the most experienced team in the country and expect him to win the Maui Invitational today in Las Vegas. Wisconsin played over the heads yesterday and I do not believe they can rise to that level again on Wednesday. Saint Mary’s is a better version of Wisconsin especially shooting the basketball, as both teams like to slow the pace down and get the best shot late in the shot clock that they can get. Wisconsin is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | VCU v. Syracuse -4.5 | 67-55 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #748 Syracuse over VCU (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN2) VCU is not the same team we think of in past years. This team really has trouble scoring and playing in a conference room against a veteran zone team should not help those stats. VCU is 6-13 ATS int ehir last 19 games as an underdog. Syracuse is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Lakers v. Knicks UNDER 214 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
The Lakers need any win they can get right now and they didn’t give themselves the best chance to get that win tonight with LeBron James getting suspended. He just came back into the lineup, and the Lakers really needed him. We think the Knicks will dominate this one. They are back to playing their brand of defense that we have gotten used to. Their last seven games have gone under as a result. Their offense hasn’t been dynamic enough to put up a big number here, but their defense has been good enough to contain the Lakers offense. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Wisconsin +7.5 v. Houston | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #655 Wisconsin over Houston (5p.m., Tuesday, November 23 ESPN) This line is too high for a game with a total this low. Houston is the better team, but Wisconsin has experience and should be able to take this game down to the wire. Both teams beat bad teams on Monday and if Wisconsin can shoot it like they did the last 30 minutes they should have a chance to win this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-22-21 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | Top | 92-123 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
These teams played Saturday, same venue, and the Bucks won by only 9. Milwaukee is not in playoff form right now, but they keep getting lined by the oddsmakers like they are. The Bucks haven’t covered a spread in five games. They are 1-7 ATS at home. The Magic aren’t a very good team. But this is a revenge spot against a familiar opponent where they just played and kept the game within punching distance. We think there’s a great chance this game is even closer than the Saturday game. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Texas A&M v. Wisconsin -2.5 | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #850 Wisconsin -2.5 over Texas A&M (2p.m., Monday, November 22 ESPN2) Wisconsin’s best player should be back for this game, as Johnny Davis is expected to play. Texas A&M has not played anyone this season and I do not seem them being an NCAA Tournament team come March. Buzz Williams is still rebuilding, and they struggled to put away bad teams in their first two games. The Aggies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. The Badgers are 10-3 ATS (2 push) in their last 15 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck -Doc’s Sports |

5-Unit Play. Take Washington -120 over Seattle (Sunday at 9pm) Why would we not go back to the well with Washington? We've been on them for the last three games and now they get to face the weakest team they've faced so far on this western road trip. Washington is playing on back-to-back nights, but that doesn't scare me as Seattle is not a good team by any stretch. Look for Washington to dominant again and get these two points. |

11-21-21 | Steelers +6 v. Chargers | Top | 37-41 | Win | 100 | 124 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #475 Pittsburgh Steelers over Los Angeles Chargers (8:20p.m., Sunday, November 21 NBC) Just do not trust the Chargers as this big of a favorite over a traditional powerhouse team like Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a road underdog. Big Ben should be back for this game and thus we can look past their tie against the Lions last season. Pittsburgh is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games at the Chargers. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played during Week 11 of the regular season. They are also 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of November. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Lakers -7 v. Pistons | Top | 121-116 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
We think that this is a good spot for the Lakers to get back on track, on the road vs. a bad team. Going against the Lakers this season has been very profitable as they are bad ATS. But Detroit has been just about as bad. The difference is that the Lakers lines are shaded, while the Pistons lines have been generous. LeBron has had a game back to get his footing, and this team needs a big win bad. We think they get it tonight. |

11-21-21 | Cardinals v. Seahawks +3 | 23-13 | Loss | -120 | 120 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Seattle Seahawks over Arizona Cardinals (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 21 FOX) QB Wilson was rusty last week in Green Bay but should play much better this week at home against a familiar opponent. The underdog is 9-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 12 meetings between Arizona and Seattle. The Cardinals are 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played in November. Seattle is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games when they are an underdog. Seattle has a major edge in coaching and that will be the difference in this game as they win it straight-up. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Bengals v. Raiders +1 | 32-13 | Loss | -104 | 120 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Las Vegas Raiders over Cincinnati Bengals (1:05p.m., Sunday, November 21 CBS) Just not buying the Bengals, especially when they are expected to win. Both teams looked bad of late, but I can forgive a loss to the Chiefs compared to losing to the Jets. The Raiders will be playing their second straight home game and look for them to bounce back this week. The Bengals are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 years in their next game following a bye. Cincinnati is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Las Vegas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. This will likely be a high scoring, but I still trust Derek Carr more than I do Joe Burrow and that will be the difference in this game. |

11-21-21 | Tennessee v. North Carolina +3 | 89-72 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #742 North Carolina Tar Heels over Tennessee Volunteers (3:30p.m., Sunday, November 21 ESPN) Tennessee will play better today against North Carolina, but I just do not like this game whatsoever. They are not a great shooting team and Rick Barnes is not a coach a trust to win big games at neutral sites. North Carolina returns a ton of talent from last season and even without Leaky Black and I believe that they will win this game straight-up. If North Carolina shoots and scores like they did yesterday I believe that will be enough to beat an overrated Tennessee team. The Volunteers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. The Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-21-21 | Packers -2.5 v. Vikings | 31-34 | Loss | -105 | 117 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #467 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, November 21 FOX) Most Vikings games go down to the wire, especially when the lose and that is something I expect to happen today. When QB Rodgers plays, the Packers dominate the NFC North having covered the spread in 10 of their last 14 divisional games. Minnesota is just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 divisional home games. Rodgers will rusty last week and expect him to be much better today with a full week of practice under this belt. This play comes down to who would you rather back, Kirk Cousins or Aaron Rodgers? We will side with the visitor. |

4 Unit Play. Take #381 UCLA Bruins over Southern Cal Trojans (4p.m., Saturday, November 20 FOX) This is a rivalry game so USC will be up for it, but they just do not have the talent to be competitive against UCLA on Saturday. USC has an interim coach, and this is the year UCLA can get them with an edge in talent. The Bruins beat the team that are supposed to beat in 2021, mainly when their opponent cannot stop the run. That should be the case again on Saturday. |

11-20-21 | Nebraska v. Wisconsin -8 | 28-35 | Loss | -117 | 95 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #364 Wisconsin Badgers over Nebraska Cornhuskers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 20 ABC) Wisconsin has been dominating opponents in the Big 10 West and I see a similar occurrence today. The Badgers are 10-4 in this series having won 7 straight games. Nebraska made major changes on the offensive side of the football, and I do not think it will help as long as Taylor Martinez in the quarterback. Wisconsin defense is playing at a record setting level and this will be the best defense Nebraska as seen in 2021. Wisconsin has covered the spread in 5 straight Big 10 games. |

11-20-21 | East Carolina -3.5 v. Navy | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #383 East Carolina Pirates over Navy Midshipmen (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 20 CBSSN) The Pirates have been a covering machine of late and will enter this game having won three straight games. Navy will enter having lost 4 of their last 5 games and they are just 2-7 overall on the season. East Carolina has covered the spread in 7 straight games. They are decent against stopping the run and are allowing just 320 total yards in conference play. The road team has covered the spread in 6 of the last 8 meetings between East Carolina and Navy. Expect East Carolina to jump out early and cruise to a double-digit victory. |

11-20-21 | Michigan v. UNLV UNDER 135.5 | 74-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #889 Under 135.5 in Michigan vs UNLV (12:30a.m., Saturday, November 20 ESPN2) We will side with the under, as Michigan will likely bounce back after a bad home loss to Seton Hall this week. Michigan has gone under the posted total in 15 of their last 22 neutral site games. UNLV has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 neutral site games when they are an underdog.

11-19-21 | Mavs v. Suns -8.5 | 104-112 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, same venue, and the Suns won but didn’t cover. We will go with the Zig Zag theory here, which will be useful this season with the quirky scheduling. The team that covers the first game normally doesn’t in the next, and we think Dallas is in trouble until Luka gets back as he is truly one of the top MVP candidates yearly because he is probably the most important player in the league to his team. They put up a fight Wednesday, but we don’t see it happening again tonight. |

11-19-21 | Air Force v. Nevada -1.5 | Top | 41-39 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 44 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #322 Nevada Wolf Pack over Air Force Falcons (9p.m., Friday, November 19 FS1) Nevada should be able to bounce back and move the football on the ground and through the air on Friday. They had a devastating loss to San Diego State last Saturday but expect them to bounce back playing a team that will have trouble stopping the pass. Nevada defense will give up some yards on the ground but hopefully they will come up big in the redzone and hold the Falcons to field goal attempts. Air Force will be playing their second straight road game and that will catch up to them in this game. Nevada is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 conference home games. The Force is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |

11-19-21 | Thunder +13 v. Bucks | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Bucks have been a poor ATS team to start the season, and especially recently. This team seems to be in a bit of a funk to start the season, and they are no where near championship form that we saw over the Summer. But they are being lined as such. The Thunder are becoming a good ATS underdog. They have cashed six of eight tickets. They are gelling well as a young team and playing solid team basketball. They are healthy here and should bring their A Game against the champs to keep this one within double digits. |

11-19-21 | Clippers v. Pelicans UNDER 214.5 | 81-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
New Orleans is 11-4-1 to the under this season. The under is a trend league wide, and New Orleans is a perfect example. The oddsmakers have been setting the lines very high, and teams like the Pelicans struggle on offense on a regular basis. The Clippers are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and they are on a B2B so their offense might be a little flat. We see them winning this one in a low scoring game. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Lakers v. Celtics -1.5 | 108-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
This line is short because LeBron James should be back in the lineup. But they weren’t very good before he left with injury, and we doubt he will be in 100% game shape if he does enter the lineup tonight. Bet this ASAP as if he is ruled out, the line will rise a bit. The Lakers are one of the worst ATS teams year after year as they are given too much respect by oddsmakers and bettors. Boston is always one of the best ATS teams, and they will give their rival their best shot tonight, LeBron or no LeBron. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 216 | 118-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Hornets are playing better defense and they have cashed under tickets in four straight games. We don’t think the oddsmakers have adjusted enough. Their defense has been real good while their offense isn’t putting up the numbers they did at the start of the season. Indiana has gone under in seven of eight, and this is not a dynamic offensive team. We see a game where the defenses will tighten up in a close game in the fourth, and as long as no OT we should cash this comfortably. |

11-19-21 | St Bonaventure -3 v. Clemson | 68-65 | Push | 0 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #861 St Bonaventure -3.5 over Clemson (2:30p.m., Friday, November 19 ESPN2) The Bonnies got off to a slow start yesterday but turned things around in the second half. Look for that to carryover into this game against a Clemson team that has not been tested this season. The Bonnies are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games. |
