---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
03-28-24 | Bucks v. Pelicans OVER 224.5 | 100-107 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The over has hit in seven straight meetings, and we expect another high scoring affair here. Milwaukee has been playing well offensively and has scored 114 or more in six straight games. Just like the oddsmakers, we expect a very close game here and we think both teams will get their points, and overtime is not out of the realm of possibility. We see a similar type of result to the Pelicans last game against OKC here at home that easily went over the total. | |||||||
03-28-24 | Sharks v. Wild -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Sharks are a dumpster fire and their only close game in their last eight was a home overtime loss to the Blackhawks. All other seven games were multiple goal losses. This team badly wants the offseason to arrive so they can reset last season. They waived the white flag on the season at the trade deadline, and team morale is nonexistent right now. The Wild are on the outside looking in of the playoff picture and can’t afford a loss here. | |||||||
03-28-24 | San Diego State v. Connecticut -10.5 | Top | 52-82 | Win | 100 | 26 h 13 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #634 Connecticut over San Diego State (7:39p.m., Thursday, March 28 TBS) This is a rematch of the 2023 National Championship, and I feel it will be another side sided affair. San Diego State did not have a great year especially during Mountain West play and they will be running into a buzzsaw having to play UCONN in Boston. The Huskies have been on a roll of late and I do not see any team being able to knock them off before the Final Four. They have too much size for the Aztecs and if they shoot it well at all they should be able to win this game by double digits. We will not overthink this play and just back the home Huskies. | |||||||
03-28-24 | Giants -101 v. Padres | 4-6 | Loss | -101 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #909 San Francisco +100 over San Diego (4:10p.m., Thursday, March 28 MLB Extra Innings) Just feel the Padres offense is not as good as it should be outside of two players. The Giants have their man on the mound today for opening day and I would expect a good performance from Logan Webb on Thursday. The Giants made some late free agent signing to bolster their offense and I expect them to start the season on the right note. Their manager was the Padres manager the last two years and he looked miserable in the Padres dugout all last season. Yu Darvish did not last long last week in Korea and I am not expecting a strong showing on Thursday. | |||||||
03-27-24 | UNLV v. Seton Hall OVER 141 | 68-91 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #621 Over in UNLV @ Seton Hall (7p.m., Wednesday, March 27 ESPN) UNLV is an over team and Seton Hall is an under team. Expect the Rebels to be able to control the pace of this game, as they already played in New Jersey during this tournament and got the Tigers to up their pace. | |||||||
03-26-24 | Mavs v. Kings -114 | Top | 132-96 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
Dallas has been racking up wins lately, but they have played some bad teams on the road and their toughest matchups at home. We feel they are a bit overvalued in this spot as we had the Kings laying a couple more points in our handicapping. The Kings have been playing well also (also against an easy schedule), and they scored a very impressive win at Orlando two games ago. We think they will be up for this game as these teams have identical records so this is am important game for playoff position. Sacramento has won two straight meetings, and three of four, and has covered in four straight meetings. | |||||||
03-26-24 | Cincinnati v. Indiana State -3.5 | 81-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #612 Indiana State over Cincinnati (9p.m., Tuesday, March 26 ESPN) Indiana State is over the heartbreak of not making the NCAA Tournament and now seems poised to make the Final Four in Indianapolis, IN. They have already beat two Power Conference teams and are getting better as the tournament goes on. Cincinnati has played two mid major programs and playing this one on the road will be too much for them to overcome. | |||||||
03-26-24 | Bruins v. Panthers -125 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
Wins and losses normally come in bunches in the NHL, and Boston has lost two straight, while the Panthers ended their losing streak last time out with a 4-1 win at Philly and look to start a winning streak tonight against the team they knocked out of the postseason last year. Boston already got their revenge as they have won both regular-season meetings, but we feel it is Florida’s turn now. They are the better team and they will definitely want this game as Boston normally gets the best from every opponent they face on a nightly basis. We feel this price is more than fair and a very public line in favor of the Bruins, who are one of the big public betting teams in the NHL. | |||||||
03-25-24 | Kings +114 v. Canucks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 114 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
We are getting a great price here for one of the best road teams in the NHL. And they have dominated in the last two visits to Vancouver, with a pair of dominating wins and a +7 goal differential. Vancouver doesn’t lose often at home, but they are vulnerable tonight. This is a more important game for the Kings regarding the postseason picture, and we think they will play their best here in this important divisional matchup. | |||||||
03-25-24 | Nets v. Raptors +6.5 | 96-88 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Toronto should play hard in this winnable game and they will want to end their long winning streak. But this is more a bet against the Nets than for the Raptors, as there is no situation where Brooklyn should be favored by this many on the road against any team. This team is 10-26 on the road this season. They have lost five straight on the road. Nice value on the Raptors tonight. | |||||||
03-24-24 | Sabres v. Flames OVER 6 | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Calgary has been trending heavily to the over, and we think this one is headed that way as well. We expect a close game here and think both clubs will get their share of the total. All of the last three meetings have gone over the posted total, and those games have averaged more than eight goals each. | |||||||
03-24-24 | Warriors v. Wolves UNDER 220 | 110-114 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Four of the last five meetings have gone under the posted number, and we expect a low scoring game here as well. The last meeting totaled 205, and we would not be surprised to see a similar score. Minnesota has one of the best defenses in the league, and we think they will set the tempo at home. | |||||||
03-22-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Coyotes -110 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
Seattle is in a freefall right now and they have lost six straight. Not only that, but they are coming in on a back-to-back after playing in Vegas last night against the world champs, and they undoubtedly wanted to win that game more than this one over lowly Arizona. But the Kraken fell flat on their faces and lost, 3-1. They face a step down in competition here but the Coyotes are well rested and have won two of three against better teams than Seattle. They have 10 goals in their last three games, while Seattle hasn’t even racked up that many goals during their six-game losing streak. | |||||||
03-22-24 | Grizzlies v. Spurs -5.5 | 99-97 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Memphis has a long history of success in this series but the tide is turning and the Spurs are the better team now. Memphis is wrought with injuries this season and they are fielding a glorified G-League squad right now. The Grizzlies are a team likely to reset in the offseason, so this team is a fade the rest of the way out, while the Spurs are building something special here with their phenomenal rookie and some nice supporting players. We think, with both squads eliminated, that there will be not a lot of defense played here but when all is said and done, the Spurs should win this one by double digits. | |||||||
03-22-24 | Texas A&M +1.5 v. Nebraska | Top | 98-83 | Win | 100 | 32 h 6 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #779 Texas A&M over Nebraska (6:50p.m., Friday, March 22 TNT) NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR. The Cornhuskers are getting some love after making it to the NCAA Semifinals and having a unique star in Keise Tominaga. But I am not buying them and feel they would have to shoot it outstanding to win this game. They did that in the first half against Illinois on Saturday and still lost that game by 11 points. Tominaga is a liability on defense and look for the Aggies to exploit them. Nebraska has never won an NCAA tournament game and they will struggle with the physicality of Texas A&M. Nebraska has not beaten an NCAA tournament team this season since 2/1/24. Texas A&M underachieved most of the season but they have been playing better of late winning 5 of their last 6 games. They do not shoot it very well but rebound extremely well and should be able to take advantage of this undersized Huskers team. The SEC was a strong conference this season and the middle is much better than what Nebraska faced in the Big 10. They also have the best player on the floor in Wade Taylor IV. Most of the Huskers wins came at home this season and this game will be played in Memphis, TN. This is not the type of team that is good enough to break the NCAA Tournament drought and I feel there will be a carryover effect going into this game from their last game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
03-21-24 | Colorado State v. Texas -2 | 44-56 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take 732 Texas over Colorado State (6:50p.m., Thursday, March 21 TNT) The Rams are riding high after beating Virginia on Tuesday, but I do not expect them to follow that up with another win. Texas is not Virginia, and I am not expecting them to go an actual hour without scoring a basket in this game. Texas underachieved this year, but this still have talent and expect them to reach the round of 32. | |||||||
03-21-24 | Nevada -1 v. Dayton | 60-63 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Nevada over Dayton (4:30p.m., Thursday, March 21 TBS) Many people were surprised that Dayton and Virginia made the NCAA Tournament. We saw how well Virginia did with their performance and I think Dayton will lose as well. Nevada is a veteran team and should benefit from the week off after losing to Colorado State in the quarter-finals last week in Las Vegas. | |||||||
03-21-24 | Akron v. Creighton UNDER 142.5 | 60-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #740 Under in Akron vs Creighton (1:30p.m., Thursday, March 21 TNT) We will ride the under in this early start game in Pittsburgh, PA. We think of Creighton over the year’s as an up-tempo team that can score a ton of points. But that is not the case with Coach McDermott’s squad this year. Their scoring has come against bad team and Akron should not allow them to light up the scoreboard. The Zips are 178th in scoring in college basketball this season. | |||||||
03-20-24 | UNLV v. Princeton -3 | 84-77 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #708 Princeton over UNLV (8p.m., Wednesday, March 20 ESPN+) Just do not see UNLV putting forth much effort in this game. Princeton is happy to play in the NIT and getting to host a home game makes them motivated to win this game big. UNLV lost again early in the conference tournament and has a coach that is squarely on the hot seat. | |||||||
03-20-24 | Dodgers v. Padres OVER 8.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #931 Over in Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres (6:05a.m., Wednesday, March 20 MLBN) Pitching will be a challenge in this game against these lineups and I feel one team will have a scoring output in this game. Each lineup has a ton of power, and it would not surprise mean if one of these teams come close to going over this posted number by themselves. Yu Darvish did not have a very good year in 2023 with a 4.56 E.R.A. and gave up almost a hit per inning. Tyler Glasnow is now a Dodger and he played in a very pitcher friendly park and will not have the luxury in this game against this Padre lineup. This is a hitter friendly park with very little foul territory and the weather will not be a factor. We expect double digits in scoring, and we will not worry if the Dodgers can cover this big of a number and instead just collect with the over. | |||||||
03-19-24 | Sabres v. Canucks -1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Buffalo has been playing well lately but when they lose, they lose badly. And we think this is a bad spot for them. They are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. Vancouver is well rested and has enjoyed a very light schedule lately, which is crucial at this juncture of the season. Plus the Canucks need a win. They have lost two straight one-goal games to playoff teams. They don’t want a three-game losing streak with the playoffs looming, and Buffalo is definitely vulnerable tonight. Vancouver is one of the best home teams in the NHL and we think they take care of business in a big way tonight. | |||||||
03-19-24 | Colorado State v. Virginia +2.5 | 67-42 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 672 Virginia Cavaliers over Colorado State Rams (9:10p.m., Tuesday, March 19 Tru Tv) Everyone is upset that Virginia made the NCAA Tournament and thus I expect them to come out and prove people wrong. Colorado State did not do much during the MWC play, most of their damage was done during the nonconference portion of the season. Virginia still plays good defense and if they can make any shots, they should be able to take this one down to the wire and grind out a victory. | |||||||
03-19-24 | Nuggets -7.5 v. Wolves | Top | 115-112 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Minnesota is banged up (Towns is out and Gobert is now questionable for tonight), and they are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. We don’t see them doing well against the defending champs, who are playing championship-caliber basketball right now and playing as well as any team in the NBA. They are rested since they had Monday off, and Minnesota has to be running on fumes after a hard-fought game at Utah last night. Minnesota has looked good lately but this line being so large for Denver on the road is very telling, and we think the Wolves run into a buzzsaw tonight and the Nuggets get a comfortable win on the road. These teams also have identical records, so this game will be important for playoff seeding. Another reason for Denver to bring their A Game. | |||||||
03-17-24 | Nets v. Spurs -1.5 | Top | 115-122 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show |
The Spurs aren’t favored often, but they are a rightful favorite tonight. Brooklyn is at the tail of a long road trip that has seen them go 1-4, with losses to Detroit and Charlotte. They needed a strong showing on this road trip for any hopes of the postseason, but they fell flat on their faces. They probably just want to get home, and we don’t see them suddenly giving an inspired performance here in San Antonio against an improving Spurs team. Brooklyn is also on a back-to-back, and they were run ragged by the Pacers on Saturday in a 20+-point loss. The Spurs were off on Saturday and they will enjoy home court advantage tonight. The Spurs have been underrated by the oddsmakers and they have covered six of nine. This team has been quietly improving all season long and they have some nice players that have been developing. We see them notching a comfortable win tonight. | |||||||
03-17-24 | Red Wings +124 v. Penguins | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
Both teams have been awful lately but the Red Wings are the much better team. They snapped their losing streak on Saturday with a big win over Buffalo and we think they will start a winning streak here. The Wings have won three of four meetings, and the last two by multiple goals, and they are more motivated tonight with their postseason lives on the line. | |||||||
03-17-24 | Wisconsin +3 v. Illinois | 87-93 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 11 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #649 Wisconsin Badgers over Illinois Fighting Illini (3:30p.m., Sunday, March 16 CBS) These two teams played a contested game a few weeks ago and I see this one going down to the wire as well. Wisconsin is poised to win this conference tournament championship for the first time under Gregg Gard and this will silence a bunch of his critics. Badgers have more rest than the Illini and I do not expect Wisconsin to go cold like Nebraska did yesterday. This means more to Wisconsin and they get it by winning straight-up! | |||||||
03-16-24 | Iowa State v. Houston OVER 121.5 | 69-41 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #621 Over 121.5 in Iowa State vs Houston (6p.m., Saturday, March 16 ESPN) Iowa State has been playing outstanding and will have a big crowd edge in this game. Houston will need to score in the sixties to win this game and thus we expect this game to easily go over the posted number. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
03-15-24 | Baylor v. Iowa State -1 | Top | 62-76 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #854 Iowa State Cyclones over Baylor Bears (9:30p.m., Thursday, March 15 ESPN) CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR We went against Baylor last Saturday for our top play and will do so again on Friday as our Conference Tournament Game of the Year! The home crowd plays a major edge in the Big 12 Conference Tournament and Iowa State is driving distance away from Kansas City. Baylor is not the same team as they have been in past years, and they do not shoot it as well against good teams. Iowa State has revenge, losing their only meeting with Baylor this season and just do not have any bad conference losses on the season. They want to play Houston in the finals, whereas Baylor might want the extra rest. Hilton South will be alive and kicking as the Cyclones move on and we lay the small change with them on Friday night. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
03-15-24 | Kings v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 5-0 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
The Blackhawks have been surging and playing well. They have won three of four. Two of those wins were against Arizona and one against Anaheim, but they had a goal differential of +11 in those three games. The Kings have dropped three of five, so they aren’t in championship form right now. Six of the last nine games have been one-goal games, and five of those games saw extra time. We just don’t see the Kings dominating this one and expect a close game. The Kings play at Dallas on Saturday, so they are probably more focused on that matchup than the Hawks. | |||||||
03-15-24 | Magic -8.5 v. Raptors | Top | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Orlando is one of the best ATS teams in the league and they keep quietly getting the job done. They have son six of eight and have covered in every win. Toronto has all sorts of problems and they are not only banged up now but have a major non-hoops related absence tonight. They have lost seven of eight and covered in only two of those games despite some very generous lines from the oddsmakers. The Magic blew the Raptors out in the last meeting and we think there is a very good chance this is another double-digit win as the Magic are healthy and well rested. | |||||||
03-14-24 | New Mexico +1.5 v. Boise State | 76-66 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #789 New Mexico over Boise State (11:30p.m., Thursday, March 14 CBSSN) The Lobos are fighting for their tournament life and likely need to win this game to qualify for the NCAA Tournament next week. This is another situation where I truly believe Boise State cannot beat New Mexico 3 times in one season. Losing at home to the Broncos is what spiraled the Lobos season, but they will get back on track during the conference tournament. I believe New Mexico is the most talented team in the conference and has great guard play. Guards are what wins during March and look for them to win this game and advance to the semifinals of the MWC Tournament. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
03-14-24 | 76ers v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 105-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Embiid is really an MVP type player and the way the Sixers have fallen apart really shows how much he means to the team. They put up 79 points last time out in a loss to the Knicks, and this will be another tough game for them. No doubt Doc Rivers will want to lay the beat down on his former team. We don’t see the Bucks letting down for this matchup and we expect them to keep hooping until the final buzzer sounds. | |||||||
03-14-24 | Coyotes v. Red Wings -151 | 4-1 | Loss | -151 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
We love the Wings here as this is a big revenge spot for them from their game in Arizona last week. That was somewhat of a fluky game as the Red Wings had some shots that hit the post and besides a slow start they played a lot better than the final score indicated. They haven’t won since but have had a tough schedule. This is their best chance to end the losing streak, and we think they put all their effort into getting the win. They are in the thick of the playoff race but are now on the outside looking in after this losing streak. They are learning to play without Larkin, and they should have a big performance here as we think they win by multiple goals. | |||||||
03-14-24 | Bowling Green -2.5 v. Central Michigan | 66-56 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #713 Bowling Green over Central Michigan (1:30p.m., Thursday, March 14 ESPN+) Like our selection with Utah last night, it is hard for Central Michigan to beat Bowling Green three times in one season. These are similar talented teams and I see the Falcons prevailing in this game and will enter the semifinals winning 3 straight games. The Falcons being favored is a key indication that they are the better team. | |||||||
03-14-24 | Arizona State v. Utah -5.5 | 57-90 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #678 Utah -5.5 over Arizona State (11:30p.m., Wednesday, March 13 PAC12N) The Bobby Hurley era may be coming to an end shortly and I do not expect the Sun Devils to make any noise in the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Utah had a disappointing season and actually lost to ASU twice this season. Arizona State is not good enough to beat any team in this league three times in a season. The Utes will win this game by double digits. | |||||||
03-13-24 | Rutgers v. Maryland OVER 125.5 | 51-65 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #685 Over 125.5 in Rutgers vs Maryland (6:30p.m., Wednesday, March 13 BTN) Both these teams are offensively challenged and bad, but I expect them to open things up in the conference tournament. If you are going to be bad, you at least need to be exciting to get some fans out to support you. One of these teams should reach 70 points and that will allow us to collect with the over. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
03-12-24 | Gonzaga -165 v. St. Mary's | 60-69 | Loss | -165 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #633 Gonzaga over Saint Mary’s (9p.m., Tuesday, March 12 CBS) Gonzaga is one of the most improved teams during the second half of the season. Both teams are squarely in the tournament, but I feel Gonzaga will win this rubber match. The Bulldogs have not lost a game since February 3rd when they hosted Saint Mary’s. | |||||||
03-12-24 | West Virginia +9.5 v. Cincinnati | 85-90 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #609 West Virginia over Cincinnati (3p.m., Tuesday, March 12 ESPN+) Just do not see why Cincinnati is this big of a favorite in a neutral site conference tournament game. Both teams split games on their home court with the Bearcats winning big last game. It will be hard for them to follow up that game and I see this game being played in single digits. West Virginia has won 5 of the last 6 games against Cincinnati. | |||||||
03-11-24 | Celtics -9.5 v. Blazers | 121-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
Boston has won two of the last three and three of the last four visits to Portland by double digits. We just don’t see a letdown here for the best team in the NBA, in our opinion. The Celtics are rolling right now and they just won in Phoenix by 10, so we think they can do even better here. They have covered in seven of their last nine games, and when they win, they usually win big and big enough to cover the large number. | |||||||
03-11-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Northern Kentucky | 82-75 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Northern Kentucky over Milwaukee (9:30p.m., Monday, March 11 ESPN2) This is the rubber game between these two schools for a berth in the winner take all Championship Game tomorrow night. Both schools won on their home floor, but I feel Milwaukee’s season will end having to play an extra game to reach the semi-finals. The Norse have won 7 of their last 9 games and avenged one of those losses last time out. | |||||||
03-11-24 | Devils v. Rangers -130 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
We think the Rangers still have revenge in their hearts for the playoffs last year and they have won both meetings this season by a comfortable margin. Both of those were on the road, and this one could get even uglier at MSG. The Rangers are the far superior team this season and they are in better form, as the Devils have dropped four of their last five. Three of those losses were by multiple goals. The cream rises to the top tonight. | |||||||
03-10-24 | Pacers v. Magic -1.5 | Top | 111-97 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Orlando is by far the strongest ATS team in the league this season and they are being underestimated by the oddsmakers once again. This is a young team and they will have a dud every now and then. That was surely the case last time out as they played one of their worst games of the season, a 98-74 loss at New York. We will give them a mulligan on that one, however, and expect they come out strong here in this one. Indiana has lost three of four and this team has been inconsistent lately. Orlando has held four of six opponents under the century mark and we think that defense wins this matchup on Sunday. | |||||||
03-10-24 | Nebraska v. Michigan +5.5 | 85-70 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #802 Michigan over Nebraska (12p.m., Sunday, March 10 BTN) Juwan Howard may be on his way out, but I just do not believe Nebraska is good enough to be laying this many points on Senior Day in Ann Arbor. Michigan has talent and Nebraska is 2-8 in true road games this season. Take the points and hope Michigan gives some effort in this game. | |||||||
03-09-24 | New Mexico +3.5 v. Utah State | 85-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #713 New Mexico +3.5 over Utah State (8:30p.m., Saturday, March 9 CBSSN) New Mexico needs this victory to solidify a spot in the NCAA Tournament and I feel they will get it. Utah State does not have the same homecourt advantage as they have had over the last two decades. They have a lot on the line as well, playing for an outright conference championship, but I expect them to play tight and struggle in this game. New Mexico has the most talent of anyone in the league and they Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
03-09-24 | Nets -6.5 v. Hornets | 99-110 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
The Nets are coming off an embarrassing loss at Detroit and they should give much better effort here against a team that is probably worse than the Pistons. Brooklyn should be getting some injured players back tonight, and this team needs a win badly for the play in tournament. They have covered in three of the last four meetings, and they are the much better team here. A motivated Brooklyn squad should get the comfortable win. | |||||||
03-09-24 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
This is the Super Bowl for the Canadiens and this is their biggest rival. They are having another bad season, but a win over Toronto will do a lot to make this bad season bearable. Montreal always play well at home when these teams meet, and we think they will give it their best effort here. Toronto has biggest aspirations, so this isn’t as big of a game for them. Montreal has been one of the best ATS teams in the NHL this season. | |||||||
03-09-24 | Baylor v. Texas Tech -1.5 | Top | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #686 Texas Tech over Baylor (6p.m., Saturday, March 9 ESPN2) An unranked team that is favored over a ranked team is always a strong betting trend. This is senior day in Lubbock, TX and I am looking for the Red Raiders to take care of business against an overrated Bears team. Baylor is coming off back-to-back wins against their traditional rivals in Kansas and Texas and I see a letdown for them in this game. Baylor is 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games following 3 straight wins. Homecourt is still strong in the Big 12 and Texas Tech wants this game to finish off with 3 straight wins and improve their seeding in both the conference and NCAA Tournaments. | |||||||
03-08-24 | Boise State v. San Diego State -7.5 | 79-77 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #868 San Diego State -7.5 over Boise State (10p.m., Friday, March 8 FS1) Neither team can win the league, but I look for the Aztecs to take out their frustrations and improve their seed for the upcoming NCAA Tournament later this month. The Aztecs do not want to have to play in the prelims next week in Las Vegas and a win ensures that they will not have to. Boise State laid an egg at home earlier this week against Nevada and I do not see them bouncing back tonight. This will be a double-digit victory for the home team. | |||||||
03-08-24 | Red Wings -130 v. Coyotes | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Detroit is in the thick of the playoff race, while the Coyotes are in a freefall. Some teams are chasing the Red Wings for the Wild Card, and they can’t afford a loss here. If they give full effort, this should be no problem picking up the win here. Arizona has lost 16 of their last 18. This homestand is not going well to start off. They lost to the Blackhawks to start things off, 5-2, and Chicago is probably the absolute worst team in the league. Then they played on Thursday and lost to the Wild by an identical 5-2 score. So they come in on a back-to-back against the strongest team of that bunch, and we don’t see things going well for them tonight. The Red Wings aren’t in the greatest form, however. They have lost three straight. Those losses were to the Avs, Panthers and Islanders, though, so this is their chance to get back on track tonight in a very winnable game against the team possibly playing the worst in the league right now. The Coyotes don’t have that home mystique that they enjoyed last season and this squad looks like a team that is already looking to the offseason. | |||||||
03-08-24 | Magic -1.5 v. Knicks | 74-98 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
This spread is short, in our opinion, as we had the Knicks as 4.5-point dogs here with a lean to Orlando at that number. Orlando is healthy, while the Knicks are banged up and a shell of the team that looked like a true championship contender earlier in the season. New York has dropped eight of 11, and this team might not even make the play in. Orlando is playing amazing defense, and we don’t see the Knicks cracking the century mark tonight and they will have to lean on defense to keep this competitive. We don’t see them keeping this one close, and there is nice value here with the road team. | |||||||
03-07-24 | Arizona State v. USC -9.5 | 73-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #772 USC Trojans over ASU Sun Devils (11p.m., Thursday, March 7 FS1) USC has the second most talent of anyone in the PAC-12 this season and are starting to show signs that they can make a run next week in Las Vegas. ASU has a lame duck coach, and they are just playing out the string of games this season. They have some blowout losses this season and they gave all they had last week against Arizona but still lost big. Injuries have taken its toll on the Sun Devils and they just do not field much of a roster in March. The line being this big with a 12-17 tells me all I need to know about the talent of each team. | |||||||
03-07-24 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin OVER 131.5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #827 Over in Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ Wisconsin Badgers (7p.m., Thursday, March 7 FS1) We nailed our Big 10 GOY on the over with Wisconsin and look to collect again on Thursday with a smaller play with them. This is one of the worst defensive teams Wisconsin has ever had and Rutgers will get many open looks in this game. | |||||||
03-06-24 | Fresno State v. New Mexico -18.5 | 58-79 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #716 New Mexico over Fresno State (10:30p.m., Wednesday, March 6 FS1) The Lobos are squarely on the bubble and likely need to win their last two games to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament. They have a strong NET rating but have some bad losses, especially at the PIT. They need to beat one of the bottom feeder teams in the MWC by at least 20 points tonight to keep their strong NET rating. Fresno State has a lame duck coach and are just playing out the string of games. They have lost big a bunch this season and tonight should be no different. | |||||||
03-06-24 | Clippers -6.5 v. Rockets | 122-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Clippers have won eight straight meetings and covered in five of those. We love to take a good team off a bad or embarrassing loss, and that is the case with the Clippers tonight. Last time they were on a back-to-back against a banged up Bucks squad and really fell apart late in that game after relinquishing a big lead. So we think they will be a lot more focused tonight. Houston is a solid team but they are a couple rungs below the Clips, who are a true championship contender and probably the second best team in the league behind Boston. We think a determined Clippers team wins this one comfortably. | |||||||
03-06-24 | Sabres v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
This is the first time in a long time we aren’t getting this matchup at 7 on the total. These teams have topped this total in seven straight meetings. Buffalo had been trending to the under, but they played high scoring games in their last two and now they are trending the other way. We think this will be a competitive game and both teams will get their share of the total. Both of the last two meetings saw 10 or more goals scored, and we think they will put on a show once again. | |||||||
03-05-24 | Pistons +11.5 v. Heat | Top | 110-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Miami has been playing great basketball but we think the oddsmakers have overinflated this number so we have to plug our nose and take the Pistons here. The Pistons had a horrible start to the season and injuries were a major issue. Some felt heading into the season that this team could make the play in. But they ended up setting the NBA record for longest losing streak. But this team has gotten healthy and has been very competitive lately. They are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games. There were a couple of those ATS losses that were close, also. They didn’t play well last time out vs. Orlando so we think we will see a better effort here. And Miami goes on the road after this one to play at Dallas and at OKC on back-to-back nights starting Thursday. They probably won’t give full effort here and that should play to our advantage. Detroit has covered in seven of the last eight meetings, so they normally get up for this opponent. | |||||||
03-05-24 | Oilers v. Bruins UNDER 6 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 104 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
These teams played a very high scoring game about two weeks ago in Edmonton. That was just one of two games that have gone over in the last 10 meetings. We don’t see these teams having a repeat, and as we inch closer to the postseason we think teams will really start to amp up the defense in preparation. Edmonton hasn’t allowed more than two goals in four straight games, and Boston is coming off an excellent showing at Toronto, holding the Leafs to only one goal. | |||||||
03-05-24 | Purdue v. Illinois -1.5 | 77-71 | Loss | -117 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #618 Illinois over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, March 5 Peacock) Illinois is favored in this game against what many feel is the best and most accomplished team in the country. The Illini are coming off one of their best games of the season on Saturday against Wisconsin and look for them to win this game as well. Purdue just needs to beat Wisconsin at home on Sunday to win the regular season title and I see them faltering in this game in a hostile environment. Illinois is a great offensive team and sooner or later they will get hot from the arc and pull away late in this game. | |||||||
03-04-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Flames -121 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -121 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Calgary has a very strong history here as they have won 8 of 10 meetings. We think that trend holds strong today, and this price is more than fair. Calgary has won five straight and they are playing great team hockey right now. Those wins weren’t against slouches, either: they beat Winnipeg, Boston, Edmonton, LA Kings and Pittsburgh. We expect another strong effort here today, and this is a very winnable game against a Seattle team that has been quite inconsistent lately. Their offense hasn’t been efficient lately, and Calgary has been excellent on both sides of the puck. | |||||||
03-04-24 | Clippers v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Clippers have been overrated by the oddsmakers lately compared to their effort on the court and they are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10. They come in on a back-to-back after a hard-fought win at Minnesota in a game that probably meant more to the team than tonight’s matchup at Milwaukee from the Eastern Conference. This Clippers squad isn’t the youngest team, so back-to-backs can really take their toll at this point in the season. It doesn’t get any easier with this matchup at the Bucks, who have won and covered five straight and are rounding into postseason form. We think Doc Rivers will do all he can to beat his old team, and the Clippers are definitely looking vulnerable tonight as they have been inconsistent since the all start break and we just think this is a real bad spot for them tonight. | |||||||
03-03-24 | Indiana +9 v. Maryland | 83-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #823 Indiana over Maryland (2p.m., Sunday, March 3 CBS) Did Maryland become good overnight and worthy of laying this many points against anyone in the Big 10? Indiana is terrible on the road, but they did play one of the better games on the season last week hosting Wisconsin and I look for them to follow that up on Sunday. Maryland cannot shoot very well and does not score many points and thus we will take the dog on Sunday. | |||||||
03-02-24 | Rockets +9.5 v. Suns | 118-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Houston has covered in four of five meetings, and we think they will keep this one close tonight. There was a point where the Rockets started to be overvalued by the oddsmakers, but that time has passed. We really like them coming off a loss, yet a hard-fought one that included an ATS cover, against these Suns here on Thursday. It’s very difficult to beat a team twice in a row, and we have also seen some reverse line movement on this game that would favor the Rockets to cover. | |||||||
03-02-24 | Golden Knights v. Sabres +100 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Buffalo has actually won two straight in this series and three of four. They have gone under in five straight games and they have been playing excellent defense. We think they can hold the Knights to a low score here at home. Vegas hasn’t looked great on this road trip and this is a prime letdown spot for them after playing road games at Toronto and Boston. | |||||||
03-02-24 | Illinois v. Wisconsin OVER 152 | Top | 91-83 | Win | 100 | 2 h 14 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #619 Over in Illinois Fightin Illini over Wisconsin Badgers (1p.m., Saturday, March 2 BTN) You think of these teams are big and strong defensive teams, but that just is not the case this season. Both defenses have been poor of late, as Illinois is giving up 1.10 points per possession since early February and Wisconsin is at 1.01 ppp during that same time. Illinois has gone way over today’s posted number in 8 straight games, a streak that last from January 28th. During this streak they have given up at least 75 points to their opponents in all but one game. Wisconsin has not been giving up that many points, but this is a get-well game for them on offense. They are a sinking ship and this is the perfect for their shots to go in, as this will be an up and down game. | |||||||
03-01-24 | Cavs v. Pistons +9 | Top | 110-100 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
The Cavs haven’t covered in their last seven games. They have been winning quite a bit, but they haven’t been dominating. Detroit has been the opposite as they have been losing but covering as they are exceeding the oddsmaker expectations recently. They have covered in three straight and six out of nine. They have also covered in three straight meetings (all losses), and we think they will play well enough to keep this one close. | |||||||
03-01-24 | Coyotes v. Senators -1.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Arizona have lost seven of their last nine games by multiple goals. They are currently playing probably worse than the Blackhawks, meaning at the moment they are the worst team in the NHL. So right now, no bet against them is a bad one. Ottawa is not a great team but they have won half their recent games and beat teams like Vegas, Dallas, and Tampa Bay, with an OT loss at Florida mixed in there. So the talent level goes way down here and we expect a strong showing from the home cliub. | |||||||
02-29-24 | Hawaii v. UC-Davis -2 | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #814 UC Davis over Hawaii (9p.m., Thursday, February 29 ESPN+) Hawaii is just not the save team when playing on the road compared to when playing on the islands. UC Davis will have revenge on their minds after getting blown out in Hawaii earlier this month, but they still have a strong homecourt advantage. UD Davis has been trending down but they will have a winning conference record and need to improve their seed for the winner take all conference tournament next month. | |||||||
02-29-24 | Thunder -11 v. Spurs | 118-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Four straight meetings have resulted in OKC double-digit wins. They have covered in six straight meetings. This is a regional rivalry, and we think that the road team will bring their A Game tonight. They have won and covered in six straight and the Spurs are back home after a long road trip, which is usually a bad spot for the home team. | |||||||
02-29-24 | Golden Knights v. Bruins UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
This is a huge game for both teams and we think the defenses will be out in full force. Boston has lost three straight and they haven’t played great defense on the road, but you know they have been eyeing this matchup and will bring their best effort back at home. That effort will likely be on the defensive end, since Vegas isn’t going to allow a lot of goals. When two contenders meet late in the season like this, it should be a playoff like atmosphere, and that means stepping up on D. These teams met just last month in Vegas, and the game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. We see another situation similar happening tonight, and we just don’t see this being a high scoring matchup. Some may be scared away from the 5.5 low total, but not us and we love that we are getting nice juice on the thing. | |||||||
02-28-24 | Lakers v. Clippers -3.5 | Top | 116-112 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
The Lakers are banged up as LeBron and AD are suffering from various ailments and won’t be 100 percent, although both are expected to play. They better bring their A Game, because the Clippers always do in this matchup. If you have followed our service for a long time, you would know that we always think of this as a one-sided rivalry. The Lakers are the Clippers biggest rival, so they always bring their best. The Lakers have more traditional rivals, so this is just another game to them. In fact, they often like to make it seem like they don’t care at all about the Clippers, and that often shows on the court, as the Clippers have won 12 of 14 meetings, and they have had a lot of success in this series since the early Lob City days. Both squads have been sluggish out of the break, but we are confident the deep Clippers, without George, will bring their best performance to the court tonight. | |||||||
02-28-24 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The Blue Jackets have surprisingly been one of the best ATS puckline teams in the NHL this season. They are 18-10 ATS on the road and they are more competitive than they are given credit for. The Rangers are only 12-15 ATS at home, where they often win by a goal. These teams played Sunday In Columbus, and the Blue Jackets thoroughly outplayed them en route to a 4-2 win. While this sets up a possible revenge scenario for the home team, we think that NY has bigger aspirations than focusing too much energy on this matchup. We see a close game here and think that the road team will keep it within a goal. | |||||||
02-28-24 | Marshall v. Georgia Southern -1.5 | 73-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Georgia Southern over Marshall (7p.m., Wednesday, February 28 ESPN+) The Eagles did not win a game during the nonconference portion of the season but have done much better in Sun Belt play. They lost by just 5 points at Marshall earlier this season and I see them winning this game by 5-8 points. They took James Madison to the wire last time out and will get over the hump with a win tonight W.S. Hanner Fieldhouse. | |||||||
02-27-24 | Pelicans -3 v. Knicks | Top | 115-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Knicks took all they could handle from the Pistons last night and now this very thin roster finds itself on a back-to-back against a much better squad. We don’t think the slumping Knicks have a chance here. The Knicks have covered in only one of the last five meetings. They have dropped six of their last nine overall and those three wins were not against quality opponents (the Sixers are banged up now also). The Pels get it done tonight with a comfortable win. | |||||||
02-27-24 | Sabres v. Panthers UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
None of the last six meetings have gone over, and four straight have gone under with two pushes. We expect another low scoring game here. Buffalo has been playing well recently and winning on the strength of their defense. They have held five of their last seven opponents to two or fewer goals. These teams played earlier this month in Buffalo, a 4-0 Panthers win. We don’t see Buffalo breaking out offensively here but expect them to continue with solid defense. | |||||||
02-27-24 | Wisconsin -4 v. Indiana | 70-74 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #613 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Tuesday, February 27 Peacock) The Badgers need to show they can beat a bad team on the road and tonight should be that day that this gets accomplished. Indiana has lost 4 straight games and Wisconsin is a better team than 3 of those opponents. That included home losses to Northwestern and Nebraska. Wisconsin will be able to dominate the paint and if they make some shots from the arc they will win this game by double-digits. | |||||||
02-26-24 | Kings +135 v. Oilers | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
These teams met earlier in the month, in LA, and the game was totally one-sided in favor of the Kings. We think they match up well here also. Los Angeles is one of the best road teams in the NHL this season and they have won more on the road than has Edmonton at home. The Oilers have cooled off big time from their hot streak and they enter this one having lost three straight. We think they make it four tonight and this is excellent value on the Kings. | |||||||
02-26-24 | Pistons v. Knicks UNDER 223.5 | 111-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
We think this game will go one of two ways: either Knicks blowout or close, low-scoring game. We just don’t envision a shootout here. The Knicks are just a mess right now with all the injuries that have piled up and this team hasn’t been playing well on offense. They have the defensive system in place, however, to plug in players that can perform, and we don’t see either team breaking out for a big offensive game. We had this one handicapped around 218 so nice value tonight. | |||||||
02-25-24 | Minnesota v. Nebraska -6.5 | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Minnesota Golden Gophers (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 25 BTN) Nebraska is outstanding at home this season and Minnesota is not as good as their 8-7 record would indicate. Nebraska has the better shooting team and that will be the difference on Sunday night. They cannot afford a bad loss and will win this game by double digits. | |||||||
02-24-24 | Alabama v. Kentucky -2.5 | 95-117 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #682 Kentucky Wildcats -2.5 over Alabama Crimson Tide (4p.m., Saturday, February 24 CBS) Kentucky has already lost multiple home games this season and they cannot afford to lose anymore in Lexington. Alabama is a tough animal at home, but they got pounded by Auburn on the road, a spot Kentucky just won at. Kentucky needs this game more and they will find a way to get it. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
02-24-24 | Missouri v. Arkansas -5 | 73-88 | Win | 100 | 1 h 39 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #612 Arkansas Razorbacks -5.5 over Missouri Tigers (12p.m., Saturday, February 24 ESPN2) This is a straight fade against Missouri, the worst team by far in the SEC. Arkansas is not very good either, but they still have a strong homecourt advantage and should be able to take care of business today at Bud Walton Arena. Missouri has been more competitive of late, but losing close games is eventually taking its toll on its team. Arkansas already beat Missouri in Columbia this season by 7 points and they will win this game by double digits. | |||||||
02-23-24 | Clippers -9 v. Grizzlies | 101-95 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Clippers got embarrassed last night at OKC and they had an off night; it happens to the best teams in the NBA at some point in the season. We think this team will bounce back nicely tonight as they take a big step down in competition. The Clippers have won and covered two straight in this series, and injuries have derailed the Grizzlies season in a big way. This team is just a shell of the squad we expected to be competing for a playoff spot by this point of the season. | |||||||
02-23-24 | Sabres -150 v. Blue Jackets | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
We think this is a fair price for the much better team on the road. And one that has had success here with two straight wins, with a goal differential of +8 in those two games. Neither game was close. Buffalo have won four in a row on the road, so they have been playing well away from home. And Columbus is home for the first time after a road trip, and those can be tricky situations for the home club as they have personal matters to attend to. | |||||||
02-22-24 | Washington -2 v. Arizona State | 84-82 | Push | 0 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #815 Washington over Arizona State (9p.m., Thursday, February 22 ESPN2) Washington trails Arizona State in the standing, yet it a small favorite in this game despite it being in Tempe. That tells me that Arizona State has thrown in the towel on this season and is ready for it to end. They are coming off a 45-point loss to their rival last time out and I see them struggling to keep this game within single digits. The Sun Devils score just under 70 points per game, 324th in the country. Washington has an identity and can usually beat the bad teams on their schedule and Arizona State is certainly a bad team. The Huskies already beat them once by 15 points and that is how I see this game going as well. | |||||||
02-22-24 | Clippers +1.5 v. Thunder | 107-129 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
The Clippers are healthy coming out of the break and entered the break with an epic win at Golden State without their best player. Kawhi is back here and rested, and we think the Clippers will be pumped for this game. We had them as a 2-point favorite here, so there is nice value in the spread tonight. OKC is a very good team and they rarely lose at home, but the Clippers may be the best team in the league and they certainly have the soldiers to come in and get a win here. The Clippers haven’t won here in awhile, but they didn’t have their full squad, either, and we expect a strong showing tonight. | |||||||
02-22-24 | Panthers +110 v. Hurricanes | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
Florida is the better team here and they have won five straight meetings, including two straight at Carolina. Home ice isn’t as valuable in NHL as other sports, and when two good teams are at their best we think the cream rises to the top tonight. Both teams have been racking up wins, but Florida has done it against a tougher slate and they will be ready tonight. | |||||||
02-21-24 | Furman v. Samford -7 | 72-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Samford over Furman (7:30p.m., Wednesday, February 21 ESPN+) The Bulldogs are the best team in the Southern Conference this season and will enter this game with a 23-4 record and a perfect record at home. One of their four losses came at Furman and they will look to avenge that tonight. I expect them to win by double digits and all but clinch the regular season title. | |||||||
02-20-24 | Baylor v. BYU -3.5 | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 BYU over Baylor (9p.m., Tuesday, February 20 ESPN) The Cougars are always a tough team to beat in Provo and we will lay the small number of points backing them tonight. BYU is coming off a bad loss last time out against Oklahoma State and look for them to bounce back in a big way tonight at the Mariott Center. Baylor has been on a nice winning streak and is likely due for a loss in this brutal conference. | |||||||
02-19-24 | Oilers -1.5 v. Coyotes | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
The Coyotes have lost nine straight, and most of those have been by multiple goals. The Oilers have won two of the last three in Arizona by multiple goals, and the other game saw an Arizona rally that ended in a one-goal Edmonton win. But the Coyotes are on a back-to-back here, and they played one of their most hard fought games during this stretch at Colorado on Sunday. We feel like the Oilers are going to dominate this one. | |||||||
02-18-24 | Utah v. UCLA -2.5 | 70-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #864 UCLA over Utah (7p.m., Sunday, February 18 FS1) The Bruins have been rolling and will enter this game having won 6 straight. They were embarrassed at Utah earlier this season, but they are a much better team now. | |||||||
02-18-24 | Coyotes v. Avalanche -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Arizona is in a free fall with nine straight losses and they are in their worst stretch of the season. They are normally formidable at home but have been playing badly there, too. Now they have to go on the road against one of the NHL’s best. This should be an easy win for the Avs. Colorado is in a bad stretch also, but they have an excuse as they have been on the road against a murderers row of opponents. This looks like a great bounce back spot on Sunday. | |||||||
02-17-24 | Wisconsin +1 v. Iowa | 86-88 | Loss | -112 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #655 Wisconsin (pk) over Iowa (2:15p.m., Saturday, February 17 BTN) Wisconsin has had great success against Iowa over the last couple of years and today should be no different. This is not a great Iowa team on either side of the floor and Wisconsin should be able to make ways inside the paint with their post players. The Badgers have beaten Iowa three straight times and are 3-0 ATS in those games as well. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports | |||||||
02-17-24 | Duke -5.5 v. Florida State | 76-67 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #649 Duke -5.5 over Florida State (2p.m., Saturday, February 17 ESPN) FSU will be up for this game, but the Noles just do not have the firepower that they have had in year's past. Duke is coming off three straight wins since their lost to North Carlina and for the most part this season they have beaten the bad teams on their schedule. | |||||||
02-15-24 | Wolves v. Blazers +9.5 | Top | 128-91 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
These teams played Tuesday and the Timberwolves scored a comfortable win. The game wasn’t as one-sided as the final scored might indicate as the Blazers entered the fourth quarter down only one before falling apart late. But it’s very tough to win two games in a row on the opponent’s floor in the span of two consecutive games. Revenge is an overrated factor in handicapping as it is in college ball because these guys are professionals and they let losses slip away after the game and move on to the next matchup. But when teams play in consecutive games like this, it is definitely a factor and we think Portland will give an extra push to play a more complete game here. The Blazers are a bad team. But they are on a level above the real dregs like Washington, San Antonio and Charlotte. This team is competitive, can score some big wins over strong opponents, and they have covered in close to half their games. So we don’t think the Wolves will just come in and dominate here. Portland has covered in four of their last seven. One of those ATS losses was by a half point, so we think they have been playing slightly above the oddsmakers expectations lately and we think they will give it all they have tonight in the rematch as rest is coming during the all0star break. | |||||||
02-15-24 | Colorado v. UCLA OVER 135.5 | 60-64 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #801 Over in Colorado Buffaloes @ UCLA Bruins (9p.m., Thursday, February 15 ESPN) We will focus on the total in this pick’em game since UCLA has been playing much better of late and also scoring some more points. The Bruins have won 5 straight games and scored at least 71 points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Buffaloes are averaging over 80 points per game this season and I expect both teams to reach the seventies in scoring tonight. | |||||||
02-15-24 | Kings v. Devils -106 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
The Kings were almost unbeatable on the road to start the season and as a result were one of the best bets in the league early in the season. But, oh, how times have changed. They are 2-9 in their last 11 road games and they are just not playing well at the moment. Their last game, on the road, was them get beat down 7-0 at Buffalo. New Jersey smacked around a couple mid-tier teams in their last two and will come into this one with a lot of confidence. They have also won the last two meetings, one here at the Prudential Center and one in LA. LA has been inconsistent and downright bad on the road, and we think there is nice value on the home team at this short number. | |||||||
02-14-24 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 237 | 130-125 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
The Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard tonight but we think the defense will step up in his absence. He hasn’t been out much this season and we don’t think his absence means the Clippers won’t be competitive here but they will need to play defense. Golden State has really stepped up the defense lately and they have gone under in five straight games and seven of eight as a result. We think both teams want this game and when there is a contentious matchup like this, both teams really normally bring a lot of energy on defense. | |||||||
02-14-24 | Tennessee v. Arkansas +8.5 | 92-63 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #706 Arkansas over Tennessee (9p.m., Wednesday, February 14 ESPN2) Tennessee has been inconsistent this season and have struggled against inferior opponents. Arkansas still has talent and a good home court advantage. We will grab the points and expect this game to be played in single digits. | |||||||
02-14-24 | Iowa v. Maryland -5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Maryland over Iowa (8:30p.m., Wednesday, February 14 BTN) Maryland gave away a game on Saturday against Ohio State and I expect them to take out their frustration against Iowa on Wednesday night. Playing at Xfinity Center is always tough for opponents and Iowa just does not have the offensive or defensive firepower this season to win games on the road. | |||||||
02-14-24 | Sharks +1.5 v. Jets | Top | 0-1 | Win | 140 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
San Jose was playing well entering the all star break winning four of six. One of those losses was in OT. Strangely this is their first game back from the all star break, so we think they will have a lot of energy. Winnipeg is the much better team but they are not playing well lately and have dropped five of six. Their two most recent wins have been by one goal each, and the last two meetings have been one goal games. | |||||||
02-13-24 | New Mexico v. Nevada -2 | 83-82 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take Nevada over New Mexico (11p.m., Tuesday, February 13 CBSSN) Nevada has righted the ship of late winning 3 straight games and playing at home tonight will allow them to make it four in a row. Homecourt is still a major edge in the MWC and the Pack will also have revenge on their minds since the Lobos blew them out last month. New Mexico has been struggling of late and they are a very streaky team. Nevada does not want another home loss on their resume and they sellout crowd will propel them to a victory. |
