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.

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.

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!

For my top free pick on Wednesday, I'm focusing on the Minnesota Lynx versus the Golden State Valkyries. Expect significant betting interest on Golden State at home, given the generous point spread. While the Valkyries have been one of the WNBA's best teams against the spread, the Minnesota Lynx stand alone as the league's elite squad and will leave nothing to chance in this matchup. The Lynx have covered the spread in three of their last four games against Golden State, and on Wednesday, they’re poised to make it four out of five.
**Play: Minnesota Lynx (-points), Rotation #637**
