12-14-19 | Stanford v. San Jose State +16 | 78-58 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #742 San Jose State over Stanford (7p.m., Saturday, December 14 CBSSN) The Spartans have played better basketball of late despite losing 5 in a row. They nearly won at San Diego State, a team many believe will get to the NCAA Tournament this season. Stanford is better this year, but they are not the type of team to be laying this kind of a number in a true road game. They are scoring just 75.6 points per game and it will be hard for them to cover if they just hit their average. Stanford is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. | |||||||
12-14-19 | Spurs v. Suns -2 | 121-119 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
We feel this is a joke of a line and based on name more than performance this season. The Spurs are just a lousy team. The Suns are coming off a loss and we think they will be primed for a good bounce back today. The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last four road games and we had this line handicapped at 5 so there is good value today. | |||||||
12-12-19 | Mavs -5.5 v. Pistons | Top | 122-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
This game is in Mexico City. Dallas has a lot of international players, so they should feel right at home here! The Mavs have been getting the job done in the favorite role as they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine when laying points. This team has been covering lines like crazy lately but are staying under the radar because of all the other big stories in the NBA this season. The Pistons are just so inconsistent, and we don’t think they will do well in this setting that they aren’t used to. We think there’s a great chance for a Dallas double-digit win here. | |||||||
12-11-19 | Thunder +1.5 v. Kings | 93-94 | Win | 103 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
We just think the Thunder are the much stronger team here and this line is more than fair with them catching points on the road. In fact, we had them handicapped as a slight favorite in this game and we think they have a great chance for the outright win. They have won five of their last six and are playing very well right now. And this team is under the radar but they have been cashing tickets on a regular basis lately. There is value with the road team. | |||||||
12-11-19 | Grizzlies v. Suns -7 | Top | 115-108 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
Phoenix started their season off hot then went into a bit of a lull. But they have got their groove back lately and this team has covered in four of its last five. After a four-game road trip they came back home in that tricky first game after a road trip and walloped the Timberwolves. Now they face an even bigger step down in competition against the Grizzlies. Memphis is a very bad team this season. They are getting a lot of points on a nightly basis from the oddsmakers but can’t cover any lines. They are coming off a win and a cover last time out against the Warriors, and they should be content tonight and won’t play desperate since not on a losing streak. This looks very much like a double-digit win for the home team. | |||||||
12-11-19 | Wisconsin +1.5 v. Rutgers | 65-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Wisconsin over Rutgers (7p.m., Wednesday, December 11 BTN) Rutgers is coming off two straight defeats and in appears obvious that this team will not be going anywhere come March for yet another season. Wisconsin played their best game of the season last time out against Indiana and expect to follow that up with another victory on Wednesday. Rutgers does not have a quality win this season and will lose this game straight-up. Both teams need this win, but Wisconsin has a history of coming up big during conference play and Rutgers does not. | |||||||
12-10-19 | Nevada v. BYU -8 | 42-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #618 BYU over Nevada (9p.m., Tuesday, December 10 ESPNU) The Wolf Pack have beaten up on weak teams for their 7 wins this season. Their last two losses have come by double digits and playing BYU in Provo will be too much for them to overcome. Having Yoeli Childs back gives the Cougars a big edge in this game. Nevada is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-09-19 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | 101-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
This line is just too large, in our opinion. The Magic got off to a slow start, but they come in having won four in a row (against an easy schedule, but still impressive). They are playing with a lot of confidence and playing like the playoff contender many thought they were coming into the season. When a good and popular team like the Bucks start winning a lot and covering the lines sometimes get out of control, and we think that is the case here as we expected 9.5 but got a few more points than we were expecting on the spread. | |||||||
12-08-19 | Seahawks v. Rams +1 | 12-28 | Win | 100 | 126 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #158 Los Angeles Rams over the Seattle Seahawks (8:20p.m., Sunday, December 8 NBC) The Rams appeared to get it last week and they must win games to keep their chances of a wild card berth alive. Seattle can afford to drop this game, since their chances of winning the division lie with their December 21st game against the 49ers. The Rams played the Seahawks tough earlier this season in Seattle and should be able to emerge victorious with this game being played at the Coliseum. Seattle is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played in Los Angeles. The Rams are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against NFC teams. | |||||||
12-08-19 | Gonzaga v. Washington +4.5 | 83-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #804 Washington over Gonzaga (7p.m., Sunday, December 8 ESPN2) Just do not believe Gonzaga should be favored in this true road game for the Bulldogs. Gonzaga is not as talented as they have been in past years and Washington is a legit Top 25 team in 2019-2020. Gonzaga is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Expect this to be a close game that goes down to the wire and we will come out top with whoever wins it by a bucket. | |||||||
12-08-19 | Chiefs v. Patriots -3 | 23-16 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #152 New England Patriots over Kansas City Chiefs (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 8 CBS) Everyone is ready to put the nail in the coffin for Patriots, but I am not one of them. The Patriots have not lost at home this season and they should be able to get their offense back on track against this suspect Chiefs defense. This is strength vs strength, as the Chiefs offense is their best unit and they will have to go against the Patriots defense, which is their best unit. New England is 42-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 62 home games. Kansas City is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during Week 14 of the regular season. It may not be pretty, but the Patriots will pull out this game by 7-10 points. | |||||||
12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2.5 | 48-46 | Loss | -109 | 119 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #138 New Orleans Saints over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, December 8 FOX) This is a bad situational game for the 49ers, as they are playing their second straight 1 p.m. road game (10 am local). The 49ers gave the Ravens all that they can handle last week and now must face a team with an even greater home field advantage. QB Garoppolo continues to turnover the football each game and thus may be the best defense he will face this season. I believe the 49ers are deflated knowing they could end up as the No. 5 seed in the NFC and thus I would expect them to drop at least 2 of their remaining 4 games. San Francisco is 6-13 ATS (1 push) in their last 20 games against NFC teams. New Orleans is 51-25 ATS (1 push) in their last 77 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-07-19 | Wisconsin +16.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 102 h 49 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #119 Wisconsin Badgers over Ohio State Buckeyes (Big 10 Championship Game, 8p.m., Saturday, December 7 FOX) Sooner or later Ohio State is going to have a competitive game. They clobbered Michigan last week, but Wisconsin did the same thing to the Wolverines as well this season. The line opened at -18 but has bet down a little since 12/1/19 and I still think Wisconsin gives them a game and easily covers this spread. Penn State and Wisconsin both had to play in Columbus and getting to face them in Indianapolis will be a much different atmosphere. The underdog has covered the spread in 5 of the last 8 meetings (1 push). Wisconsin is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-07-19 | Indiana v. Wisconsin +1 | 64-84 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #654 Wisconsin over Indiana (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 7 BTN) The Hoosiers have yet to play a true road game this season and they have not had much success at all playing in Madison. Wisconsin is a much better team at home, and this is a game they need to win to record if they have any hopes of making the NCAA Tournament come March. Wisconsin already beat Marquette at home and they will keep their undefeated home winning streak alive. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-06-19 | Clippers v. Bucks -3.5 | Top | 91-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
When all is said and done we think the Clippers have a great chance to win the championship this season, and they will likely have to get through this Bucks team to achieve that goal. But at this point the Bucks are way ahead of the curve while the Clippers are still figuring a lot of things out on the go. The Clippers, smartly, don’t seem to care much about the regular season and are forward thinking with their gameplans for the playoffs. We just think the Bucks are in a much better spot for a big win tonight. | |||||||
12-06-19 | Kings v. Spurs -4 | 104-105 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
The Spurs have been one of the bigger disappointments to start the season, but there have been signs of life lately with home wins over the Clippers and Rockets in their last three. Of course, they had that real stinker at Detroit in between those games, but the Spurs need this with badly and we have to think they will take care of business against a Kings team that has been very inconsistent so far this season. San Antonio is still one of the toughest places for an opponent to come in and have success, and we think the Spurs get the job done tonight. | |||||||
12-06-19 | Oregon +7 v. Utah | 37-15 | Win | 100 | 78 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #103 Oregon Ducks over Utah Utes (Pac-12 Championship Game, 8p.m., Friday, December 6 ABC) Utah has the better coach but I just believe Oregon has the better team. The Ducks are catching a lot of points and I think they will thrive under the spoiler role in this situation. Oregon is 2-0 in this game and they have not played many complete games this year, but this would be a great time for that to occur. Oregon is 22-9 ATS in their last 31 games being played on grass. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will come out on top with whoever wins this game by a field goal. | |||||||
12-06-19 | Warriors v. Bulls -4.5 | 100-98 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
It’s crazy how the Warriors have gone from one of the best teams the NBA has even seen to maybe the worst team in the NBA this season. But this team has been besieged with injuries and they are bringing out a very young and raw roster every night. Chicago has had a rough start to the season, but they have been playing better lately and this is a good chance for them to keep the positive momentum going tonight. | |||||||
12-06-19 | Nets -2.5 v. Hornets | 111-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but the Nets are the much better ballclub. They have been underachieving this season, however. But this team has been playing better lately and they have covered in six of their last eight. The Nets already beat Charlotte this season a few weeks ago by 10, and we think we could see a similar result here. Brooklyn was a real lousy bet to start the season, but they are starting to gel without Irving and there is some betting value here now. | |||||||
12-05-19 | Suns v. Pelicans -3 | Top | 139-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
The Suns were one of the strongest ATS teams to start out the season, but they have fallen off a cliff recently. They have covered in only two of their last nine games, and they are in a real tough spot here, coming in on a back-to-back after getting blown out in Orlando last night. This will not only be a back-to-back but their third game in four nights, and fatigue is starting to become a real issue at this point of the season. The Pelicans haven’t had great results, either, but they have played a very tough schedule with recent games against Dallas, OKC (X2), Lakers, Clippers and Jazz. Their last win was Nov. 21, against this same Phoenix team, in Arizona, and they won by 3. They are rested with the night off last night and at home in this matchup, and we think this is a great chance for a rare comfortable win. The Pelicans have covered in seven of the last nine meetings between these clubs, and we expect that trend to hold strong tonight. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Kings v. Blazers -4 | 116-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
The Blazers got spanked by the Clippers last night. We like to back a good team coming off a bad loss, especially when they take a big step down in competition. And even though the Blazers are on a back-to-back, their previous game was on Friday so they should not be too worn down. The Kings have been very inconsistent. We think the Blazers are being punished too much by the oddsmakers for this back to back and we expect them to score a win by 7+ tonight. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Wisconsin +5 v. NC State | 54-69 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #867 Wisconsin over NC State (9:15p.m., Wednesday, December 4 ESPN2) The Badgers need a quality road win and should be able to take this game down to the wire in Raleigh. NC State is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Neither team deserves to be a favorite and thus we will just grab the points in this ACC/Big 10 Challenger game. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Weber State +3 v. Utah Valley | 72-67 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #863 Weber State over Utah Valley (9p.m., Wednesday, December 4) The Wildcats have played a tough schedule this year and are in desperate need for a victory after starting the season 1-5. They are a traditional power in the Big Sky and should be able to play a competitive game against an in-state team in Utah Valley. This spread has come way down since it opened at -6 and yet most of the bets are coming in on Utah Valley. That tells me the sharps are playing Weber State. The Wolverines are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Air Force -1 v. Wyoming | 86-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #865 Air Force over Wyoming (9p.m., Wednesday, December 4 themwc.com) Mountain West play opens tonight and both teams are desperate for a victory. The Force returns a bunch of players from last year and that should allow them to win this game in Laramie. The Cowboys are predicted to finish 10th in the MWC and have a coach on the hot seat. Air Force is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Wyoming is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. | |||||||
12-04-19 | Heat v. Celtics -6 | 93-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
Boston comes into this one on two day’s rest and the Heat not only will be playing on a back-to-back and their third game in four nights, but they played a really tough OT game last night in a win over Toronto. This is the point in the season when back-to-backs are really affecting teams, and we just don’t see the Heat having anything left in the tank, while the Celtics will have lots of energy and motivation since these two teams are two of the top clubs in the east and this game could be an important tiebreaker down the road. | |||||||
12-03-19 | Michigan v. Louisville -5 | Top | 43-58 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #746 Louisville over Michigan (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 3 ESPN) NONCONFERENCE TOP PLAY Louisville is the No. 1 team in the country and are a legit final four team under year team with Chris Mack. Michigan has skyrocketed up the polls currently at No. 4 in the country after winning the Battle for Atlantis last week. They went from unranked to No. 4 in the country, but I am still not completely sold on them. This will be their first true road game of the season and I am always weary on teams traveling from out of the country over Thanksgiving. I have seen these teams come out flat and not have much energy and expect that to be the case this evening. Michigan has solidified their NCAA Tournament bid at the end of the season beating North Carolina and Gonzaga might not be that great of a victory, as a believe both of those teams are fringe top 20 teams. Louisville is 10-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 games against Big 10 teams. They have a great frontcourt led by Joran Nwora, who will come up big tonight as the best player on the floor. Louisville wins this game by 8-10 points giving us another top play winner on Tuesday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-02-19 | Vikings v. Seahawks -2.5 | Top | 30-37 | Win | 100 | 147 h 7 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Seattle Seahawks over Minnesota Vikings (8:15p.m., Monday, December 2 ESPN) The Seahawks have not played at home since November 3 and they have been outstanding of late winning 4 straight games. Minnesota is a quiet 8-3 but I still do not trust QB Cousins to win big primetime games in December. These two teams met in Seattle on Monday Night Football last year and the Seahawks dominated that game winning by 14 points. The Seahawks have won 6 straight games against NFC teams. Minnesota is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Monday Night games. Seattle is 10-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 Monday Night games. | |||||||
12-02-19 | Warriors v. Hawks -6.5 | 79-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
It’s hard to back a team that has lost 10 straight laying this many points. But the Hawks have just had a brutal schedule and this seems like a great spot for them to get a win. Not only will the Hawks have the extra motivation of ending this losing streak, but they have lost to the Warriors nine straight times. Of course, this is a different Warriors team now as all the stars are injured. Atlanta is a better team than they have shown recently and we think they come to play a strong game at home tonight. | |||||||
12-01-19 | Chargers v. Broncos +3 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 119 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Denver Broncos over Los Angeles Chargers (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 1 CBS) Neither one of these teams is going anywhere and I just do not believe QB Rivers has much left in the tank. Both teams have shown some signs of life at certain points of the season and Denver is always a tough team to beat in the Mile-High City. Los Angeles is 3-7 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 12 games. Denver is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Week 13 of the NFL season. | |||||||
12-01-19 | Packers -6 v. Giants | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 116 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #451 Green Bay Packers over New York Giants (1p.m., Sunday, December 1 FOX) This is a get-well game for the Packers, as they struggled for a second time this season in the state of California. Danny Dimes is struggling like any rookie quarterback would with a lack of talent around him. Green Bay is better on both sides of the football and will be able to win this game by double digits. The favorite in this match-up has covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 games (1 push). Green Bay is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. New York is 5-15 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 home games. | |||||||
12-01-19 | Browns v. Steelers +2.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 116 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Pittsburgh Steelers over Cleveland Browns (1p.m., Sunday, December 1 CBS) Pittsburgh wants this game badly. They have the better coach and should not be the underdog in this game. Pittsburgh got back on track last week against Cincinnati and they have dominated this series since the Browns were allowed back into the league. Pittsburgh is 12-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 home games when they are an underdog. Cleveland is 6-21 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 29 games against with winning records. The home team is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 6 match-ups between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Arizona +13.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 101 h 58 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #419 Arizona Wildcats over Arizona State Sun Devils (10p.m., Saturday, November 30 ESPN) Arizona State is coming off a huge win against Oregon last Saturday, but now we have an inflated line in a rivalry game. The Wildcats are playing their final game of the season Saturday night and expect them to be competitive for 60 minutes. Arizona State has lost 4 of their last 5 games and they have home losses to USC and Colorado. Arizona State has only beaten 1 team all season (Kent State) by over tonight’s posted number. The Territorial Cup will remain with the Sun Devils but they win by just 7-10 points. The underdog is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games between Arizona and Arizona State. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Hawks +14 v. Rockets | Top | 111-158 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
The Rockets haven’t been good when laying big points as they are 1-3 ATS when laying eight or more points. The Hawks are a perfect 4-0 ATS when getting double-digit points this season, so they normally show up against the top teams. Atlanta has lost nine straight yet they have covered in three of their last four and lost to the Pacers in OT last time out. This team has talent and they will try hard tonight to stop the bleeding and we think this one has a great chance to come in under double digits. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Navy -7.5 v. Houston | 56-41 | Win | 100 | 98 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #363 Navy Midshipmen over Houston Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, November 30 ESPN2) Just do not think Houston is very good this season and they have a coach that is completely full of himself. The Cougars ended a three-game losing streak last week winning at Tulsa, but did not dominate that game whatsoever. Navy does not have a bad loss on the season and should be able to reach 10 wins by winning their last two games against teams they will be favored against. Houston is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Houston got destroyed last year against a triple option team in Army and will lose this game by double digits. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Florida State +1 v. Purdue | 63-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #657 Florida State over Purdue (7p.m., November 30 CBSSN) Purdue played the late game last night and had to spend a lot of energy beating VCU and now they face the Seminoles in their home state. FSU is the more rested team and should be able to take care of business on Saturday and win the Emerald Coast Classic. Florida State is 10-4 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 neutral site games. | |||||||
11-30-19 | UAB -3 v. North Texas | 26-21 | Win | 100 | 95 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #421 UAB Blazers over North Texas Mean Green (4p.m., Saturday, November 30 Stadium) The Blazers are not the same team away from Birmingham, but they have a lot of play for in this game. IF UAB win they play next week in the Conference USA Championship Game and should get Tyler Johnston III back for this game. The Mean Green are coming off a bad loss to Rice last time out and I do not see things getting better for them on Senior Day. They have yet to beat a quality team this year. UAB is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against North Texas. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Dartmouth v. Bowling Green -7.5 | 69-76 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #616 Bowling Green over Dartmouth (4p.m., November 30) The Falcons have challenged themselves in the nonconference portion of the season and are ready for a home game after making the finals of the Paradise Jam this past week. The Big Green have played a much easier schedule and they are not ready for this step in class. Dartmouth is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against MAC teams. Bowling Green is 12-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 home games. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Alabama -3.5 v. Auburn | 45-48 | Loss | -109 | 95 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #397 Alabama Crimson Tide over Auburn Tigers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 30 CBS) With Oregon going down last week, the Tide still have a lot of play for in this game and I expect them to make a statement in their last regular season game of the 2019 season. Auburn has not been able to hold up against the top teams in the SEC and this game should be no different. They still have a true freshman quarterback and that does not bode well against a Nick Saban defense. Rarely do you see a line this low in an Alabama game and that is basically because of their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa not playing in this game. Alabama still has the better roster and expect Coach Saban to thrive in a situation like this similar to what Coach Meyer did with QB Cardale Jones. | |||||||
11-30-19 | Wisconsin -2 v. Minnesota | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 94 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #371 Wisconsin Badgers over Minnesota Golden Gophers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 30 ABC) A lot is on the line in this game as the winner gets to play Ohio State next week in the Big 10 Championship Game. The road team has been the play of late, as they have covered the spread 4 times in the last 5 years (1 push). Wisconsin has shocked last year and that is one of the worst losses under Coach Paul Chryst at Wisconsin. The Badgers will be far and away the best defense the Gophers have faced this season. Wisconsin is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Just do not believe Minnesota is ready to win a game like this. They are improved but their schedule has been soft all season long and this is the game where that will show up in a big way. Wisconsin pulls away late to win this game by 10 points. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Clippers -5.5 v. Spurs | 97-107 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Looks like the Spurs run might be over. This team just stinks this season, and they have lost the home court magic. The Clippers have enjoyed a home-heavy schedule to start the season, and they are on the road quite a bit the next couple weeks. But they have passed all tests so far with big road wins at Dallas and Memphis, and this team is hungry and playing well together as a team. And we have no doubt they would like to blow the Spurs out and kick them while they are down here on Friday. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Pelicans v. Thunder -4 | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
We like to back a good team after an embarrassing loss, and that’s surely the case here as the Thunder were run out of the building in Portland on Wednesday. This is a proud team and they should be able to right the ship against a lousy New Orleans team that comes in having lost three straight. These teams met earlier in the month and OKC won by double digits. We don’t see any reason why this could not be a similar result. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Raptors v. Magic +4 | 90-83 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
Toronto has dominated this series and they have been the ATS darling of the NBA this season. They have also dominated this series. But beating the NBA oddsmakers is never that easy. If this line came out on the first game of the season, Orlando would probably be a slight favorite. But they have gotten off to a slow start and bettors are down on this team, a non-public team that doesn’t get wagered on in the best of times. They played well last time out in getting their first road win, and we think that positive momentum will put them in a position to compete for the win here tonight. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Iowa v. Nebraska +6 | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 70 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #328 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Iowa Hawkeyes (2:30p.m., Friday, November 29 BTN) This is a game Nebraska needs more for a variety of reasons. A win by the Cornhuskers will get them bowl eligible and that extra month of practice would be vital in year 2 under Scott Frost. Iowa is just in all aspects, but they are not explosive and thus I do not like to lay points with them when the spread is over a field goal. Nebraska got back on against Maryland last week and should be able to take this game down to the wire. Nebraska is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played in the month of November. | |||||||
11-29-19 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Virginia | 30-39 | Loss | -117 | 67 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #315 Virginia Tech Hokies over Virginia Cavaliers (12p.m., Friday, November 29 ABC) Virginia Tech has dominated this series winning 15 straight games against Virginia. Both teams have a lot on the line as the winner gets the Coastal Championship and a date with Clemson next Saturday. The Hokies have at a quiet 8-3 record and nobody is talking about them whatsoever. Virginia is banged up on defense, especially in the secondary and expect Virginia Tech to move the football at will through the air. Virginia is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Friday. Virginia Tech has covered the spread in 5 straight games. | |||||||
11-28-19 | Bills v. Cowboys -6.5 | 26-15 | Loss | -109 | 48 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #308 Dallas Cowboys over Buffalo Bills (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 28 CBS) People are overacting to the Cowboys losing a game in Foxboro to New England. The Cowboys are still in good shape to win their division and make the playoffs. Buffalo has been the beneficiary of a soft schedule to amass their 8-3 record and they are not anywhere near that good. Dallas is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games played during the month of November. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Thursday. Dallas pull away late to win this much needed game by more than a touchdown. | |||||||
11-28-19 | Michigan v. North Carolina -3 | 73-64 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #770 North Carolina over Michigan (1:30p.m., Thursday, November 28 ESPN) Michigan has been impressive thus far but this will be the strongest team they have faced this season. North Carolina has just been going through the motions thus far but feel they will break out in this game and advance to the finals of the Battle for Atlantis. Happy Thanksgiving – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-27-19 | Thunder +3 v. Blazers | Top | 119-136 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Portland just doesn’t seem to have it this season. They are 6-12 on the season and, although they have played a road-heavy schedule so far, they are just 1-4 at home. They are just coming off a disastrous road trip where they went 2-4 with only wins over the struggling Bulls and Spurs. This will be the tricky first game home after a long road trip. This is a game where the home team sometimes struggles as the players often have their minds on their life off the court and there are plenty of distractions. The Thunder have been a good betting team at 10-6 ATS, and this new mix of players has had their moments. They have been playing strong defense for sure. This looks like a very winnable game for the road team, and with the day off tomorrow we think the Thunder will be the more focused team in this matchup, They also have revenge for an October loss in OKC in a game that was very close. We see this one as close also and think the road team will do what needs to be done to eek out a close win at the final buzzer. | |||||||
11-27-19 | Ole Miss v. Penn State -2.5 | 74-72 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #738 Penn State over Mississippi (5p.m., Wednesday, November 27 ESPN2) The Lions always seem to play well in New York and have had good success in the post season NIT this century (winning it twice since 2009). They have a dominating win against Georgetown and return 4 starters from their squad from last season. The Rebels are coming off a loss last time out to Memphis, a team that was playing without their all-everything player in James Wiseman. Penn State is 12-2 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 games. 76% of the money is coming in on Penn State and they will win this game by 7-9 points. | |||||||
11-26-19 | Wizards +10.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 104-117 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Washington has covered in five of the last six matchups, and they look primed for another cover tonight. This team is 9-4-1 ATS this season. That’s a great betting recipe for success when a team isn’t getting wins on the court but covering numbers. They can hold value for a long time since they escape the public’s radar. They are a perfect 6-0 ATS when getting four or more points this season, and it looks like they are being underestimated again tonight against a Denver team that is overvalued despite their 12-3 record as they are just 7-7-1 ATS. | |||||||
11-26-19 | Wisconsin -5 v. New Mexico | 50-59 | Loss | -117 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #667 Wisconsin over New Mexico (5p.m., Tuesday, November 26 ESPN2) The Badgers need this game to avoid dropping both games in Brooklyn after a disappointing performance last night against Richmond. The Lobos got blown out last night and I see them losing this game by 8-10 points. Wisconsin will shoot it better this afternoon and they is an NCAA Tournament team, the same cannot be said about New Mexico. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against MWC teams. | |||||||
11-25-19 | Northwestern v. Bradley -3 | 78-51 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #826 Bradley over Northwestern (8:30p.m., Monday, November 25 FS1) Northwestern has fallen off the last few years and it does not appear they will be able to get back to the NCAA Tournament anytime soon. The Braves made the NCAA Tournament last year and have started this season with a 4-1 record. They will be motivated for this game to beat a Big 10 team from the state of Illinois. Bradley is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Big 10 teams. Northwestern is 7-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 27 games. | |||||||
11-25-19 | 76ers v. Raptors +2 | Top | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Philly hasn’t been any good on the road, where they are 4-5 on the season, while the Raptors are a perfect 6-0 at home. The Raptors were expected to take a step back this season after losing Kawhi Leonard, but they have way exceeded expectations so far. They are 11-4 and have been profitable ATS at 9-6. We think they are being undervalued here again by the oddsmakers. Some very nice value on an early-season line. | |||||||
11-25-19 | Richmond v. Wisconsin -6 | 62-52 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #828 Wisconsin over Richmond (7p.m., Monday, November 25 ESPN2) This line should be much higher. Richmond has a lame duck coach and a bunch of young players that will get destroyed in this game. This will be the Spiders first game away from Richmond and they will struggle to keep this game in single digits. Wisconsin is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against Atlantic 10 teams. Richmond is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 games against Big 10 teams. | |||||||
11-24-19 | Florida -2 v. Xavier | 70-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #741 Florida over Xavier (8:30p.m., Sunday, November 24 ESPN) The Gators have gotten off to a slow start and need to start putting things together in order to earn some quality wins before SEC play. This team was on a lot of analysts Final Four predictions and they have a lot of talent. Xavier is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 games against teams from the SE. Florida is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. | |||||||
11-24-19 | Hamilton -3.5 v. Winnipeg | 12-33 | Loss | -109 | 55 h 18 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. #895. Take Hamilton over Winnipeg (Sunday at 6:00 pm) As per your selection on Hamilton, we have no problem going against a Winnipeg team that cashed our ticket last week against Saskatchewan. Hamilton has shown us the entire season that they are the best team in the league and they have the best offense and defense to boot. Hamilton will be 100% ready for this game as they feel it's their time to shine and bring home the Grey Cup. As for Winnipeg, they've overcome a bunch of adversity this season, but the reality of the matter is that they are not a complete football team and they have glaring holes on the defensive side of the ball, particularly with the defensive backs. We expect Hamilton's explosive offense to set the tone early and hit a few big plays. The Bombers won't be able to keep up and the Tiger-Cats win this game by 10+ points. | |||||||
11-24-19 | Valparaiso v. Nevada -3.5 | 59-84 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #748 Nevada over Valparaiso (5:30p.m., Sunday, November 24) Nevada has a veteran team and they can win most of their games against teams without great athletic ability. The Crusaders have played a very easy schedule thus far similar to Fordham, the Wolf Pack’s game one opponent. Valpo is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Nevada is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 MVC games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-24-19 | Cowboys v. Patriots -6 | 9-13 | Loss | -115 | 121 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #270 New England Patriots over Dallas Cowboys (1:25p.m, Sunday, November 24 FOX) Anytime you can get the Patriots at home laying less than a touchdown it is a play. The Patriots have not been that impressive on offense of late, but they still have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Dallas had trouble stopping Jeff Driskel last week and I am not sure if QB Prescott can win this game with New England taking away his best option. Dallas is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. New England is 47-20 ATS in their last 67 games. | |||||||
11-24-19 | Rhode Island v. LSU -6 | 83-96 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #728 LSU over Rhode Island (2:30p.m., Sunday, November 24 CBSSN) | |||||||
11-24-19 | Raiders v. Jets +3 | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 118 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #260 New York Jets over Oakland Raiders (1p.m., Sunday, November 24 CBS) Just not sold on the Raiders, especially when they must give points on the road. The Jets have been playing better of late winning 2 straight games against bad teams to gain some much-needed confidence. 1 p.m. games are always tough for west coast teams and Oakland has not handled prosperity well in recent years. The Raiders have won just 2 road games in the second Jon Gruden Era. Oakland is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games following a victory in their previous game. | |||||||
11-24-19 | Seahawks v. Eagles | 17-9 | Loss | -122 | 118 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #274 Philadelphia Eagles over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, November 24 FOX) The Eagles must win this game to keep their slim chances of a playoff berth alive. This game was flexed out of Sunday Night Football and now the Seahawks must play a 1 p.m. eastern time game. The Hawks defense had not been great, as QB Winston picked them apart and most of the Hawks success falls on QB Wilson. Seattle is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Philadelphia is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a winning road record. Both trends hold true, as the Eagles get the victory and also easily cover the spread. | |||||||
11-23-19 | Nevada +14 v. Fresno State | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 104 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #163 Nevada Wolf Pack over Fresno State (10:30p.m., Saturday, November 23 ESPN2) Nevada is starting to play more ball control and that should keep the score low and thus be able to cover this big number. Fresno State is not very good this season and have lost 3 of their last 4 games including to San Diego State, a team Nevada beat last time out. The Bulldogs are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Nevada is 12-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 games played in November. Fresno State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played in November. | |||||||
11-23-19 | Lakers v. Grizzlies +7.5 | Top | 109-108 | Win | 100 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
We think this is a good spot for the Grizzlies on Saturday. The Lakers come in on a back-to-back after the second part of their home-and-home against the Thunder and this just feels like a letdown spot for them as they take a step down in competition. While the Lakers are coming in with no rest, the Grizzlies have had three nights off and they should be primed for a strong showing as an underdog. They had won three straight, including a win at home vs. Utah, so we know they can compete here if focused. But they come off two bad losses so they will likely be really focused on a strong performance here. We think they will get it. | |||||||
11-23-19 | Syracuse +10 v. Louisville | 34-56 | Loss | -109 | 97 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #191 Syracuse Orange over Louisville Cardinals (4p.m., Saturday, November 23 ACCN) Syracuse needs to win out to become bowl eligible and firing their defensive coordinator gave this team some life last week. Syracuse clobbered Duke by a score of 49-6 last Saturday. Syracuse beat Louisville last year, 54-23 and many of the players that played in that game will play in this game. Louisville has overachieved a little this season and playing as a favorite if much different than sneaking up on teams. Louisville is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a losing record. | |||||||
11-23-19 | Arizona State -2 v. St. John's | 80-67 | Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #657 Arizona State over St Johns (2:30p.m., Saturday November 23 ESPN3) The Red Storm made a play to hire Bobby Hurley last April, but he chose to stay with a better situation at Arizona State. He holds a grudge like few others, and you know he does not want to lose to Mike Anderson in this game. St Johns is in a complete rebuild and they have not been that impressive against some weak teams to open the season. They lost to Vermont and do not have a quality win on the season. Arizona State beat St Johns in the play-in NCAA Tournament games last season to advance to the round of 64. ASU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Big East teams. St. Johns is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against PAC-12 teams. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-23-19 | Central Florida v. Tulane +6 | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 93 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #180 Tulane Green Wave over UCF Golden Knights (12p.m., Saturday, November 23 CBSSN) UCF is coming back to reality and I am not sold on Josh Heupel as a head coach. He piggy backed off of Scott Frost’s players last year and they are nowhere near as good in 2019. Throw in the fact everyone wants to beat them this year for how cocky they have been the last two years and I could see them suffering 5 losses this season. Tulane has been losing of late as well, but they made a nice comeback to fall short last week against Temple when they were down big early in that game. Tulane is undefeated at home this season and they should be able to take this game down to the wire. UCF is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. Tulane is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. | |||||||
11-22-19 | Temple v. USC -9 | 70-61 | Loss | -106 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #818 USC over Temple (11p.m., Friday, November 22 PAC12N) Temple has a new coach and system and they have played cupcakes to open up the season. USC is more battled tested and have great size that should be able to do damage in this game. The Owls are 7-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 27 nonconference games. USC has covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games. | |||||||
11-22-19 | Houston v. Oregon -6.5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #810 Oregon over Houston (9p.m., Friday, November 22 PAC12N) Houston lost a bunch of talent from last year and they have not been impressive this year. They lost to BYU on a buzzer beater and struggled to put away Rice giving up 89 points last time out. The Ducks are 4-0 this year and they have not been in a competitive game. Oregon is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 nonconference games. Houston is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a victory in their previous games. | |||||||
11-22-19 | Hawks +6 v. Pistons | Top | 103-128 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
The main reason we like this play is that the Pistons should not be laying this many points to anyone. This team has currently lost five straight and they haven’t covered in any of those contests. Atlanta has lost seven of eight. They have had a ridiculously tough schedule, however. In their last three games, they finished off a five-game road trip with visits to Staples to face the Clippers and Lakers and then came back home to face Miami. That’s probably the three best teams in the NBA. But now they are going way down in class tonight. They seem to normally play well against Detroit and have covered three straight meetings and five of six. This is the biggest favorite Detroit has been all season, and they are 1-3 ATS as a favorite at any number so far. | |||||||
11-21-19 | Blazers +13.5 v. Bucks | 129-137 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
The Blazers have gotten off to a poor start this season at 5-10, and the Bucks look like arguably the most complete team in the NBA right now. But this is just way too many points for a Blazers team that is pretty solid even with Lillard sidelined tonight. This is by far the most points that the Blazers have received on the handicap this season, and the Bucks are just 1-3 ATS when they are laying big points like this. They normally get the job done but don’t blow teams out as big favorites, and we expect a similar showing tonight in Milwaukee. | |||||||
11-20-19 | Georgia Tech v. Georgia -4.5 | 78-82 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #696 Georgia over Georgia Tech (7p.m., Wednesday, November 20 SECN+) Both teams are undefeated, but I just do not see a light at the end of the tunnel for Georgia Tech. They have a terrible coach and cannot play in postseason play this season. The Bulldogs have a proven coach in Tom Crean and should get better this year and expect them to make the NCAA Tournament next year. The Bulldogs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 nonconference games. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 nonconference games. | |||||||
11-19-19 | Suns +2.5 v. Kings | Top | 116-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
The Suns are one of the best betting teams in the league at 9-3 ATS on the season. We think they are undervalued here again tonight. They are being punished too much by the oddsmakers are a back-to-back here, and this team is young and so is the season, so we don’t think it’s as big of a deal as the oddsmakers do. We just can’t help but remember the last time these teams squared off, last month, with one of the more one-sided second halves we have seen this season with the Suns outscoring the Kings 70-36 in the second half of a rout. We think Phoenix matches up well here tonight also. They have covered in five of the last seven meetings. We think they have a great chance to win this outright, and we had the Suns, who we think are a better team, laying one point on our line. | |||||||
11-19-19 | College of Charleston +1 v. Marshall | 76-66 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #635 Charleston over Marshall (7p.m., Tuesday, November 19) The Thundering Herd are a different team this year without Jon Elmore and C.J. Burks. They are coming off back to back losses by double digits and they will be a middle of the pack team this year in Conference USA. The Cougars are 2-1 this season with just a loss to Oklahoma State on their docket. Charleston is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Conference USA teams. Marshall is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss in their previous game. | |||||||
11-18-19 | Chiefs v. Chargers +4 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -105 | 146 h 4 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Los Angeles Chargers over Kansas City Chiefs (8:15p.m., Monday, November 18 ESPN) The NFL is back in Mexico City and this game should go off as planned unlike the 2018 version. Kansas City has been exposed of late with a suspect defense and thus QB Mahomes and company are going to have to score points in order to win this game. We will grab the points and expect QB Rivers and company to win this game straight-up. The Chargers have the better defense and should be able to get pressure on QB Mahomes. The Chiefs have just not been the same team of late, having lost 4 of their last 6 games. The Chargers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of November. Kansas City is 2-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games played during the month of November. | |||||||
11-18-19 | Pacers +3.5 v. Nets | Top | 115-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
The Pacers are just the better team in this matchup right now. Brooklyn gpt a lot of attention this offseason for some big moves, but they are being lined like a superstar team right now but Durant will not be here until likely next season. Right now they are just another decent team trying to find their way. Remember, Kyrie Irving never did much to lead his team to big places before he teamed up with LeBron. They have lost three of four coming into this game and they are just 5-7 ATS, which tells us the bookies have them overvalued. Irving is banged up right now but will probably go and LeVert is a key player for Brooklyn who has missed some time. Indiana has been pretty good even while they wait for Oladipo to rejoin the lineup. They have lost two straight coming into this game, but that was at Houston and vs. Milwaukee, and we think they have a much better chance to succeed here against lesser competition. The Pacers are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings and 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in Brooklyn. They tend to play well here, and we see that being the situation again tonight. | |||||||
11-17-19 | Cardinals +11.5 v. 49ers | 26-36 | Win | 100 | 118 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #467 Arizona Cardinals over San Francisco 49ers (4:05p.m., Sunday, November 17 FOX) The line has creeped down after San Francisco suffered their first loss of the season on Monday Night Football against Seattle. Now they face another divisional rival and we will grab the double-digit points in this match-up. Jimmy G seems prone to mistakes and if the Cardinals can capitalize on a couple of them, they should be able to keep this a one score game. Arizona has had good success in San Francisco going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips to Santa Clara. The 49ers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. Arizona is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. | |||||||
11-17-19 | Cowboys -5.5 v. Lions | 35-27 | Win | 100 | 115 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #451 Dallas Cowboys over Detroit Lions (1p.m., Sunday, November 17 FOX) We went against the Lions last week and got a gift when QB Stafford was scratched Sunday morning. Hard to know if he will play in this game but either way, we will take the Cowboys. Dallas laid an egg against Minnesota last week and they must start better on Sunday at Ford Field. The Lions have fallen out of playoff consideration by losing 5 of their last 6 games. They just find ways to lose and today will be no different. The road team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between Dallas and Detroit. | |||||||
11-17-19 | Texans v. Ravens -4 | 7-41 | Win | 100 | 115 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #466 Baltimore Ravens over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, November 17 CBS) This is an intriguing match-up between two young superstar quarterbacks in Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. QB Watson may be the better thrower of the football but I just believe the Ravens have a better supporting cast than do the Texans. Houston is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 road games against teams with a winning home record. This will not be a blowout, but I see the magical run of the Ravens continuing wit a 7-10 point victory. | |||||||
11-17-19 | Marquette v. Wisconsin -1 | 61-77 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #834 Wisconsin over Marquette (1p.m., Sunday, November 17 FS1) Wisconsin needs this game more. Marquette already recorded a quality win this week beating Purdue but this is the game not having the Hauser twins will show up. Marquette has dominated this series in recent years but Wisconsin has the veterans to pull away and win this game at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Sunday. Marquette is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-16-19 | USC -6.5 v. California | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 101 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #361 Southern Cal Trojans over California Golden Bears (11p.m., Saturday, November 16 FS1) The Golden Bears have not been the same team as they were at the start of the season. They did beat Washington State last time out, but I do not see them winning another game when they are an underdog. USC has played a brutal schedule in 2019 and they have a chance for 8 wins should they win out. Clay Helton still has the respect of his players and expect them to go all out for him in the remaining two games. USC has covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 games in Berkeley. Cal is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. | |||||||
11-16-19 | Hawks v. Clippers -12.5 | Top | 101-150 | Win | 100 | 27 h 27 m | Show |
This isn’t the biggest matchup for the Clippers this season, but this is probably the biggest game so far, because Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are expected to play together for the first time. Kawhi is fully integrated as the leader of the team now. And George seemed to fit in perfectly in scoring 30+ in his debut, even though it was a losing effort. Even if these guys don’t instantly click, which there is no reason to indicate that they won’t, after all Kawhi chose George as his preferred running mate, the rest of the team should rise up and play their best here. This team truly seems to be buying into the team mentality, and even though the Clips have gotten off to a slow start, at full strength we don’t think there’s a better team in the NBA. They are coming off two tough losses, at Houston in a game they didn’t play well in, and at New Orleans on the second of a back-to-back. They won’t take Atlanta lightly. The Hawks are on the fourth game of a rough road trip and were routed by a lesser Suns team last time out. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games, and we expect to see the best version of this LA team on Saturday night. | |||||||
11-16-19 | New Mexico v. Boise State -27.5 | 9-42 | Win | 100 | 100 h 7 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #348 Boise State Broncos over New Mexico Lobos (10:15p.m., Saturday, November 16 ESPN2) Boise has been shaky covering of late but no bet against New Mexico is a bad bet. The Lobos have a terrible defense, and this should allow the Broncos to score points as will in this game. The Broncos still have a chance for a New Year’s Six Bowl and must earn some style points along with winning all their remaining games. New Mexico is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games. Boise State is 6-1 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 9 games against teams with a losing record. | |||||||
11-16-19 | Cincinnati -14 v. South Florida | 20-17 | Loss | -104 | 97 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #327 Cincinnati Bearcats over USF Bulls (7p.m., Saturday, November 16 CBSSN) The Bulls are a fraud and Charlie Strong does not have this team heading in the right direction whatsoever. They lost by double-digits at home last time out and they will lose this game by 20+ points. The Bearcats have won 7 straight games and they have a chance to earn a New Year’s Six Bowl should they win out. USF was outplayed last year in this match-up, but the cold weather and some fluke plays allowed them to cover despite losing by 12 points. USF is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Cincinnati is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. Lay the wood in this game. | |||||||
11-16-19 | Montana v. Arkansas -16.5 | 46-64 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #782 Arkansas over Montana (5p.m., Saturday, November 16 SECN+) We have used Arkansas in both games this far this season and will ride them again on Saturday looking to complete the trifecta. The Grizzles do not have a quality win and lost to Stanford by double digits. Montana is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games. Arkansas is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 nonconference games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-16-19 | Minnesota +3 v. Iowa | 19-23 | Loss | -105 | 94 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #335 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Iowa Hawkeyes (4p.m., Saturday, November 16 FOX) Minnesota is just a better all-around team than Iowa is. We used them last week as a top play and that cover was never in doubt for the entire 60 minutes against Penn State. Iowa is coming off a poor offensive performance against Wisconsin where it took them 3 quarters to finally get some yards in that game. The visitor has covered 5 of the last 6 games between the Gophers and Hawkeyes. Minnesota has covered the spread in 7 straight conference games. Iowa is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. | |||||||
11-15-19 | California Baptist v. California -4 | 62-82 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #730 California over California Baptist (10p.m., Friday, November 15) This is a buy game for the Golden Bears and expect them to take care of business tonight at Haas Pavilion. The Bears have won both of their games thus far and they have covered the spread in 7 straight games. The Lancers have some talent but playing in their second straight road game against a Power 5 team will doom them in in this game. | |||||||
11-15-19 | Cal-Irvine v. Boise State -4 | 69-61 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #724 Boise State over Cal Irvine (9p.m., Friday, November 15) The Broncos should be able to get back on track tonight at home against the Anteaters. Boise State got pounded by Oregon but the Ducks are one of the top teams in the west this season. Irvine has a road loss to Pepperdine and expect a similar result tonight at ExtraMile Arena. Boise State is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games against Big West teams. | |||||||
11-15-19 | Minnesota v. Utah -4.5 | 69-73 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #728 Utah over Minnesota (9p.m., Friday, November 15 PAC12N) Minnesota has played a difficult schedule and playing their second straight road games will doom them in. The Gophers have lost three straight games and playing in the Huntsman Center is always a tough task. Utah has a nice road win over Nevada, and they can a chance to make the NCAA Tournament if they win their home games. Minnesota is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 nonconference games. Utah is 49-21 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 73 home games against teams with a losing road record. | |||||||
11-15-19 | Spurs +3.5 v. Magic | Top | 109-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
We are getting good value on the Spurs here in what is a very winnable game for them. They come into this one having lost three straight and five of six. They have had a very tricky schedule, however, and we think this team will be fine and there is no reason to panic. This team is one of the best coached in the league, and they don’t often go on extended losing streaks, and we have a feeling they will just come into Orlando and take care of business in a professional manner. They are certainly the better team in this matchup. If the Spurs had played to expectations so far they would be at least PK here. We have them as a slight favorite in this game, so getting this many points is just icing on the cake. And it’s not like Orlando has been dominating or anything, they have endured a lousy start to the season and are 4-7 so far on the year. Also, the Spurs always seem to play well here in Orlando, where they have covered in six of the last eight meetings. | |||||||
11-14-19 | Penn State v. Georgetown -2 | 81-66 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #656 Georgetown over Penn State (6:30p.m., Thursday, November 14 FS1) Both teams have played cupcakes to open up the season. We will side with the home team as Patrick Ewing looks for even better things in year 3 of his tenure. Georgetown is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against Big 10 teams. Penn State never seems to have a good season and always does just enough to fall short of NCAA Tournament consideration and expect this year to be no different under Coach Chambers. | |||||||
11-13-19 | Providence v. Northwestern +8.5 | 63-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #646 Northwestern over Providence (9p.m., Wednesday, November 13 BTN) The Wildcats have an embarrassing loss to open the season against Merrimack. But that loss has over adjusted this line and we will grab the points tonight with a home underdog. Providence is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Big 10 teams. Northwestern is 10-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 games against Big East teams. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sport | |||||||
11-13-19 | Clippers v. Rockets -2 | Top | 93-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
The Clippers have played a home heavy schedule so far. They are just 1-2 on the road this season, and their lone win was against Golden State, which turned out to be not that special as the Warriors just aren’t good this season. This is their biggest road test so far. Westbrook is out for the Rockets, but this is still a very good team. It looks like Kawhi will play tonight for the Clippers, but George will probably debut for Los Angeles tomorrow, and it seems like this team has a bit of distraction for that situation heading into this game. The Rockets are a team that seems to care more about the regular season and seeding while the Clips want to be healthy for the playoffs. We think they will take this game far more seriously tonight, and we have a short line here for a Rockets team that has won four straight and is playing with a lot of confidence. | |||||||
11-13-19 | LSU v. VCU -2.5 | 82-84 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #602 VCU over LSU (6p.m., Wednesday, November 13 ESPN2) An unranked team that is favored against a ranked team is usually a sign to play them. The Rams will be playing their third straight home game and expect them to move to 3-0 on the season. LSU is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. VCU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 SEC games. | |||||||
11-12-19 | Blazers -1.5 v. Kings | 99-107 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Both teams are off to a slow start. But we think this is just a slow start for the Blazers but that the Kings are likely a lousy team. Despite generous lines they are not covering many early-season games like they did last season (although they come into this one on an ATS streak). The Blazers got a confidence-boosting win last time out against Atlanta and they have had a pretty difficult schedule lately and we expect them to use that positive momentum to score the win tonight against this short line as a slight road favorite. | |||||||
11-12-19 | Lakers -2 v. Suns | Top | 123-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
We really like what we have seen from Phoenix so far this season and this looks like a legit strong team. Last year the Kings got off to a hot start and were in the playoff discussion until falling off a cliff later in the season. But this strong play looks sustainable for the Suns barring injury. But we think that they are in over their heads tonight against a Lakers squad that is one of the best three teams in the league and looks much more together at this early point in the season than we assumed heading into the new season. The Suns have had a fairly easy schedule thus far and we think the Lakers will come into this one with a sense or purpose after a rare home loss last time out against Toronto. An angry and focused LA team should be too much for this upstart Suns club tonight, and we expect them to score a comfortable victory. They have also covered in seven of the last nine in this series! | |||||||
11-12-19 | Memphis +4 v. Oregon | 74-82 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #819 Memphis over Oregon (9p.m., Tuesday, November 12 ESPN) Memphis is going all in this season with James Wiseman and I just believe they are more talented than Oregon is. Playing in Portland will give the Ducks a homecourt edge, but talent wins out at the end of the day. Memphis is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Oregon is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played on Tuesday. | |||||||
11-12-19 | Auburn -7.5 v. South Alabama | 70-69 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #781 Auburn over South Alabama (8p.m., Tuesday, November 12 ESPN+) Auburn made the final four last year and their style of play allows them to score enough points to cover this big number on the road. The Tigers have covered the spread in 8 straight road games. South Alabama is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 nonconference games. Expect Auburn to win this game by double digits. | |||||||
11-12-19 | Northern Kentucky v. Coastal Carolina +1 | 69-68 | Push | 0 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #769 Northern Kentucky over Costal Carolina (7p.m., Tuesday, November 12 ESPN+) The Norse made the NCAA Tournament last season and they return most of the talent from that team. They got beat at Missouri, but they should be able to win at Coastal Carolina tonight. The Chanticleers got beat but Campbell last time out and now face a much stronger team in NKU. Coastal Carolina is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games played on Tuesday. | |||||||
11-11-19 | Jazz -8 v. Warriors | Top | 122-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Golden State was getting some very big lines there for awhile but they have covered three of four games and the bookies seemed to have backed off here a bit as we thought this one would come in at double digits. We think there’s a great chance Utah could win this one by 10+. After a two-game slide the Jazz are playing well again and they come in on a two-game win streak with impressive victories over the two best teams in the East, Philly and Milwaukee. Utah has covered in six straight meetings in this series, and we think they will take some pleasure in kicking the Warriors while they are down tonight. | |||||||
11-11-19 | Louisiana-Monroe v. Texas A&M -15.5 | Top | 57-63 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #742 Texas A&M over ULM (8p.m., Monday, November 11 SECN+) We will side with the home team in this battle of unbeaten teams tonight in College Station. The Aggies were not that impressive in their opening game and did not come close to covering the 27.5 number against Northwestern State. I expect a 20+ point victory tonight and that will be more than enough to cover this spread. ULM is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a victory in their previous game. A&M is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. | |||||||
11-10-19 | Vikings v. Cowboys -3 | 28-24 | Loss | -100 | 126 h 10 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #272 Dallas Cowboys over Minnesota Vikings (8:20p.m., Sunday, November 10 NBC) The Vikings are coming off a bad loss to the Chiefs last week and now head to a primetime game against the Cowboys. QB Cousins does not usually shine during primetime games and expect that to be the case once again on Sunday Night Football. Dallas turned it on in the second half last time out against the Giants and they should be healthier this week on defense. Minnesota is 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games against teams with a winning record. Dallas has covered the spread 5 straight times during games played in November. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings between Minnesota and Dallas. |
