Play on: UNDER 55 -108
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #386 Under in Nevada Wolf Pack @ Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (7p.m., Saturday, September 20 ESPN+) We went against Nevada last week for a free pick winner, as Middle Tennessee State +9 beat them straight-up. We will go back to well again on September 20 with a Nevada game, but this time take the under. Nevada has major issues at quarterback, and they have trouble scoring points this season. In their first three games they have scored 11, 17, and 13 points. WKU is a higher scoring team, but I expect Nevada to dictate the pace of this game and keep the scoring low. Take the under in this game. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in Football, WNBA, and NASCAR. Sign-up now and let 54 years of handicapping experience work for you.

Play on: OVER 9 -120
Game Analysis

David's MLB Free Pick

We really like the over in this matchup. The line looks mispriced when you consider that Boston's scheduled starter Brayan Bello has been somewhat of a punching bag in recent starts and he gave up nine runs over 10.1 innings in two meetings with Oakland last season. 

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the OVER.

NCAA-F | Purdue vs Notre Dame
Play on: Notre Dame -26½ -108 at Heritage
Game Analysis

Saturday CFB Free play. My selection is on Notre Dame minus the points over Purdue at 3:30 pm et on Saturday.

Notre Dame’s season hasn’t opened the way anyone in South Bend envisioned, with back-to-back defeats including last week’s stunning upset at the hands of Texas A&M. That loss has the Irish in desperation mode as they try to salvage their College Football Playoff hopes, and I expect them to respond with urgency. Despite the 0-2 start, Notre Dame still has the talent edge in virtually every area, and staying home for a second straight week gives them an opportunity to reset and regain momentum.

Purdue has the look of a team that’s been playing over its head. The Boilermakers did well to cover against USC last week, but the underlying numbers were concerning: a paltry 50 rushing yards and three turnovers isn’t a recipe for long-term success. Their two earlier wins came against far lesser opponents, and this trip to South Bend represents a major step up in class. With Notre Dame’s back against the wall, I see this as a clear “wrong place, wrong time” situation for the Boilers.

Take Notre Dame minus the points.

MLB | Angels vs Brewers
Play on: Brewers -1½ +115 at circa
Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on the Brewers on the RUNLINE.

Milwaukee has looked dominant in taking the first two games of this series and all signs point to a similar outcome here in the finale in my opinion.

The Angels are now just 32-45 on the road, while the Brewers are 50-27 at home.

Kikuchi has a 4.10 ERA for the Angels and he's been decent all year, but give me Priester, who has a 2.85 ERA, here at home in this advantageous spot.

Consider MILWAUKEE on the RUNLINE.

Good luck, NP

Play on: Royals +113 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

MLB Free Pick

The Angle: Seattle saw a 10-game winning streak come to and end yesterday, and that could mark the start of a slide.

The Royals have scored 22 runs across their last three games and they scored five runs off Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo in an 8-4 win last time they saw him. KC righty Stephen Kolek is coming in hot with a 2.59 ERA in his last five starts. Admittedly, his last start against Seattle was not pretty, but he's improved a lot since that May outing.

NFL | Dolphins vs Bills
Play on: UNDER 50 -108
Game Analysis

This is a play on the MIAMI DOLPHINS/BUFFALO BILLS UNDER for our Thursday Free Play. The over will be the public bet tonight based off the fact that the Buffalo offense continues to hum along and it is a standalone primetime game. While the Bills offense should thrive again, the defense showed up last week against the Jets, allowing just 154 total yards. Buffalo has won six straight meetings in this series including four at home with all four of those games going over the total, another reason we are on the under as we are on the contrarian side. Miami has averaged 26.8 ppg in the four meetings in Buffalo and the Dolphins will not come close to that here. The Bills defense was bad in their season opener against Baltimore and will be out to shore that up in the second game in front of the home crowd. Head coach Mike McDaniel looks like he has lost this team only two games in and that is bad news heading to Buffalo where the Dolphins have not won since 2016. Miami is 7-0 to the under following a divisional loss under McDaniel. Also, both teams fall into a solid system as we play the under when the total is 49.5 or higher in conference games playing with four or fewer days of rest. This situation is 44-20 (68.8 percent) to the under since 1983. Play Under (301) Miami Dolphins/(302) Buffalo Bills

NFL off TWO straight Primetime Winners (Falcons and Chargers) and third straight Winner goes Thursday. Profitable NFL YTD and +$14,540 L3+ Regular Seasons. CFB 8-4 last week. Week Four opens with a Thursday Winner!

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on NYY.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- NY Yankees is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games.

- Baltimore is 4-10 SU in its last 14 games against an opponent in the American League.

- NY Yankees is 15-4 SU in its last 19 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

Buffalo -11.5

The Bills are worth a free move on Thursday, and NO, this isn't too many points to cover. Buffalo takes on Miami and this is just a compete mismatch every which way you look at it. Miami is 0-2 and they’ve given up 66 points combined over the first two games of the year. That won’t bode well against a red hot Buffalo team that has seen Allen and company put up 71 points so far. Buffalo will dictate this game from the start. Bad Buffalo. My daily free plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

Play on: TCU -6½ -115 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

SMU @ TCU: Iron Skillet Rivalry Finale
Date: Saturday, September 20, 2025
Location: Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Texas
Kickoff: 12:00 p.m. ET
Broadcast: ESPN2 The 2025 clash marks the final chapter of the storied "Iron Skillet" rivalry between SMU and TCU, a series spanning over a century since 1915. With SMU now in the ACC and conference scheduling priorities ending this tradition, the 105th meeting (TCU leads 52-47-7) promises a thrilling conclusion. Recent games have been competitive, with SMU's 66-42 rout in 2024 snapping TCU's two-game streak (41-31 in 2022, 34-17 in 2023). However, SMU struggles as the road team, going 1-4 SU in their last five trips to Fort Worth.

Team Overviews SMU Mustangs (2-1, 0-3 ATS)
SMU, unranked after a No. 17 preseason ranking, boasts wins over East Texas A&M (42-13) and Missouri State (28-10) but fell to Baylor in double overtime. Their offense, led by junior QB Kevin Jennings (70.5% completion, 6 TD, 3 INT), senior RB TJ Harden (6.0 YPC), and WR Romello Brinson (20.9 YPC), averages over 30 points in victories. Defensively, SMU has forced turnovers, including two pick-sixes in their opener, but struggles against Power 4 teams, with a 3-17 SU record in their last 20 games against Big 12 opponents. Kicking inconsistencies, evident in the Baylor loss, remain a concern. SMU is 2-5 ATS in their last seven September games, signaling early-season struggles against the spread. TCU Horned Frogs (2-0, 2-0 ATS)
TCU enters undefeated, dominating North Carolina (48-14) and Abilene Christian (42-21). QB Josh Hoover (76.2% completion, 9.9 YPA, 6 TD, 1 INT) orchestrates a high-octane offense alongside RB Kevorian Barnes (7.4 YPC) and WR Jordan Dwyer (16.1 YPC). Coach Sonny Dykes’ up-tempo scheme has produced balanced, explosive plays, with both games exceeding the total and wins by 20+ points. While TCU’s defense has been solid, it hasn’t faced an offense as dynamic as SMU’s, setting up a critical test.

Game Analysis This matchup pits two potent offenses against defenses yet to be fully challenged. SMU’s balanced attack, led by Jennings’ efficiency and Harden’s ground game, should keep the game competitive early. However, TCU’s offensive firepower, home-field advantage, and defensive edge give them the upper hand. The Horned Frogs’ tempo and big-play ability, paired with SMU’s road struggles in this rivalry (1-4 SU), suggest TCU will pull away in the second half. Expect a high-scoring affair, as TCU has gone over in five straight September games and both teams’ offenses are clicking.

Betting Recommendation Pick:

TCU -7
Total: Over 64.5

TCU’s momentum and home dominance should secure a comfortable win, but SMU’s offense will contribute enough to push the scoreline past the total in this high-octane rivalry finale.

Let's cash some tickets!

 Im betting the Buffalo Bills take care of business here and get out  to an early lead and then just coast to victory which will help this combined score stay on the low side of the offered total.
