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. | |||||||
02-13-24 | Thunder -2 v. Magic | Top | 127-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
Orlando is a fine team and they have been solid this season at covering the spread and winning games. But we think they are out of their depth here tonight. The Thunder are a true championship contender and we think if they come and play their game in Orlando that they will win comfortably here at the Kia Center. OKC has covered in five of the last six meetings. They have lost two of three, but those were at Dallas and Utah, so they will be motivated to play well here. Orlando has been playing well but they have had a somewhat easy schedule and they have been a bit inconsistent compared to the start of the season. They are also not getting as much value in their lines as they were early in the season as the bookies have caught on to the talent and capabilities of this team. But we think a motivated Thunder team wins this one going away, and there looks to be plenty of value in this line. | |||||||
02-13-24 | Ducks v. Canadiens -112 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Both of these teams stink, but the Canadiens are a decently better squad and we think they should be laying more juice here at home. They won the last meeting in Southern California in November and we think they have what it takes to win this one at home. While we didn’t take the spread here, Montreal has been one of the better teams at covering, and they could win this one by multiple goals. But the price on the moneyline is too good to pass up. | |||||||
02-12-24 | Wolves +4.5 v. Clippers | Top | 121-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
The Timberwolves match up well with the Clippers and they have had a lot of success against them. They have won and covered five of the last six meetings, including two of three in Los Angeles. Minnesota comes into this one very well rested and they have tons of confidence after going into Milwaukee and laying a beatdown on the Bucks last time out. They also have recent wins against OKC and Dallas, so they have been raising their game against the best competition. We feel this will be a very close game and think the Wolves have a great chance for the outright win, and they are getting great value on the spread here. | |||||||
02-12-24 | Kansas +3 v. Texas Tech | 50-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #887 Kansas over Texas Tech (9p.m., Monday, February 12 ESPN) Kansas has been bad on the road this season, but they have the more talented team and sooner or later they will win a road game. The Red Raiders have been in free fall of late losing 3 of their last 4 games and Kansas is better then the three teams that they lost too. The Jayhawks need to win this game if they have hopes of winning the Big 12 and will get this win tonight in Lubbock. | |||||||
02-12-24 | Coyotes v. Flyers -148 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
The Flyers have won four of five in this series and they are the much better team. While home ice is not a huge factor in the NHL like as in other sports, this Coyotes team is a completely different club on the road vs at home. They are just 8-13-4 away from home. We see a tough day for them here. They have dropped five straight entering this one, and we think that trend continues here. | |||||||
02-11-24 | 49ers v. Chiefs +2.5 | Top | 22-25 | Win | 100 | 125 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #102 Kansas City Chiefs over San Francisco 49ers (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 11 CBS) You can make a case for either team in this game, but we will side with the team that has the better defense along with the best quarterback in the league. Kyle Shannon has a tendency to freeze up in big games and I am just not sure Brody Purdy can carry him over the finish line. The Chiefs have had a great defense all season long with Chris Jones able to make plays and get to the quarterback. The 49ers will have their moments, but in the end the Chiefs will prevail and win their third Super Bowl in the last 5 years. | |||||||
02-11-24 | Northern Iowa -3.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | 65-71 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #863 Northern Iowa over UIC (4p.m., Sunday, February 11 ESPN+) The Flames sit at the bottom of the MVC and will struggle to win any games the rest of the way. The Panthers have underachieved this season but they still have experience and talent and should win this game by close to double digits. UIC has lost 8 of their last 9 games including an 8 point loss to Northern Iowa. | |||||||
02-10-24 | Maryland v. Ohio State -2.5 | Top | 75-79 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #708 Ohio State Buckeyes over Maryland Terrapins (4p.m., Saturday, February 10 FS1) TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Nothing good can be said about Ohio State of late, but they did cash for us in December with our Nonconference Game of the Year against UCLA. Now they play a terrible road team in Maryland, as Ohio State is desperate for any kind of a win. The Buckeyes have lost 5 straight games, and their coach is clearly on the hot seat. But they have talent and Maryland is one of the worst shooting teams in the conference, especially from the arc. You cannot lose them all and Ohio State picks up a much-needed victory at home on Saturday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
02-09-24 | Rockets +2 v. Raptors | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Despite the Rockets poor play on the road, we had them favored in this matchup. Toronto after the Trade Deadline looks like one of the worst teams in the NBA and they will likely be tanking the rest of the season. The Raptors will miss VanVleet for sure as he is out for likely a few games but we think that Houston has a good enough roster, plus the motivation, to win here. They looked pretty good in their first game with VanVleet sidelined as they went toe to toe with the Pacers on the road and lost by three, easily covering the 8-point spread. The Rockets aren’t going to win a lot of games on the road this season, but this looks like a very winnable game for them. They need every win they can get for the postseason so we think they will be focused here. Toronto is playing their first home game after a long road trip, and those are often tricky since players have obligations in their personal lives, and for Toronto with no hope, those probably outweigh the game tonight. The Raptors haven’t been just losing but they haven’t been covering, either, despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers. | |||||||
02-08-24 | Cal Poly +10 v. CS-Northridge | 65-78 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #843 Cal Ply over Cal State Northridge (10p.m., Thursday, February 8 ESPN+) Just do not believe the Matadors are good enough to be laying double digit in a conference game. Before beating UC Riverside, Northridge lost 5 straight games and only one of those losses was competitive. The Mustangs have lost all of their conference games this season, but they have been competitive in most of their recent games. Look for them to keep the score low and that will allow them to lose by single digits. | |||||||
02-07-24 | Spurs +8 v. Heat | 104-116 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
We think this is a real nice spot for the Spurs to play a competitive game. They catch the Heat not only on a back-to-back but playing their third game in four nights. Those came against the Clippers and in-state rival Orlando, so this game really isn’t going to move the needle for them as far as motivation goes. The Spurs have been up and down lately but are getting generous lines from the oddsmakers and they have covered more games recently than they haven’t, and they also have a better ATS record than the Heat. We think they have a great chance to keep this close. | |||||||
02-07-24 | Lightning v. Rangers UNDER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
We always first look to the under when these teams play each other. They have a strong recent history for the under as eight of the last nine meetings have gone under the posted total. The Rangers were masterful defensively in their first game back from the break, as here at home they held the Avalanche to only one goal. We think they bring the same energy on defense tonight. And Tampa Bay is back for their first game after the break. This is one of the highlight games of their season playing in MSG and they should have a ton of energy on the defensive end and will want to get off to a strong start for their post all-star game stretch with the playoffs now on every team’s mind. | |||||||
02-07-24 | Wisconsin -5.5 v. Michigan | 68-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #687 Wisconsin -5.5 over Michigan (7p.m., Wednesday, February 7 BTN) The Badgers will enter this game having lost two straight games and are looking to get back on track against the worst team in the Big 10. The Badgers are the better coached team and will win this game by double digits. Juwan Howard is likely to be replaced come seasons send and Michigan is just playing out the string now. | |||||||
02-06-24 | Thunder v. Jazz +3 | Top | 117-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
We were on the Thunder last meeting between these two. The line was similar, and we had a massive play on OKC and honestly we were lucky to win that one as everything went right for us in the last 30 seconds. Utah is rested and healthy, and they have revenge here for the earlier meeting. They had a real chance to win that one outright. OKC has three nights off after this game then a trip to Dallas, and as a result they may not be full focused here. Even if they are, the Jazz are strong enough at home to beat any team, any night. | |||||||
02-06-24 | Dayton -1.5 v. St. Joe's | 94-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #637 Dayton over St Joes (8p.m., Tuesday, February 6 CBSSN) The Flyers are the best team in the Atlantic 10 and are well on their way to receiving an at-large bid for the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Never like Anthony Grant as a head coach, but his team is loaded with talent this season. They have just one loss since the middle of November and that trend will continue on Tuesday with a 6-8 point victory tonight on Hawk Hill. | |||||||
02-06-24 | Canadiens v. Capitals OVER 5.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
The Capitals didn’t look great on defense heading into the all-star break and we could see them giving up some goals here. Washington went over in three straight and four of five entering the break. Montreal has been wildly inconsistent on defense. Six of the last eight meetings between these teams have gone over, and we think this 5.5 total will be easy to beat in a competitive game. | |||||||
02-05-24 | Warriors v. Nets | Top | 109-98 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
Brooklyn has won three of four and are playing well at the moment. They have enjoyed a light playing schedule lately and should be primed to defend the home court tonight. The same can’t be said for Golden State. While not on a back-to-back, they will be playing their third road game in four nights, and it’s not like this is the youngest bunch… so fatigue will be a factor. The Warriors are just 8-11 on the road this season. These teams played last month in the Bay Area, and Brooklyn held their own in a four-point loss. We think they match up well and will be able to get their revenge here. Golden State covered that one by just the hook, and that was their first cover in four games in this series. The Nets have actually covered in six of the last eight. | |||||||
02-05-24 | Avalanche v. Rangers UNDER 6.5 | 1-2 | Win | 101 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Both teams had been trending to the over, but the all-star break will serve as a reset. And these teams should have lots of energy on defense tonight. Three straight meetings and four of five have gone under the posted total. And three of those were games that went to extra time. We expect a close, low-scoring, hard-fought game from both sides. | |||||||
02-04-24 | Clippers -4 v. Heat | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
Love the Clippers in this spot. Miami has been underachieving lately and they have been overvalued by the oddsmakers. They have covered two straight but that followed a seven-game non cover streak. The Clippers play tomorrow also, but this team has been taking things one game at a time this season more than season’s past, and we think they will be extra focused on this very winnable game. Oh, and they have also covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. | |||||||
02-04-24 | Purdue v. Wisconsin +2.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #830 Wisconsin over Purdue (1p.m., Sunday, February 4 CBS) Purdue got gifted a game earlier this week and I expect Karma to hit them on Sunday. Purdue had a huge free throw advantage last time out against Northwestern, but they will not get that against Wisconsin on the road at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin is coming off a bad loss to Nebraska last time out, a game in which they blew a big lead and lost by 8 in overtime. Wisconsin needs this game if they have any hope of winning the regular season conference championship and expect them to grind out a win late behind A. J. Storr. | |||||||
02-03-24 | Houston v. Kansas +1.5 | Top | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #702 Kansas Jayhawks over Houston Cougars (4p.m., Saturday, February 3 ESPN) COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME OF THE YEAR Kansas at home getting points is too good to pass up. Houston does not face this type of environment in the AAC, but will see it on Saturday now they are a member of the Big 12. Kansas takes great pride in winning the Big 12 and this is a game they need to win if they have any hopes of winning the conference come March. This will be the Cougars third road game in their last four games, and they will not be able to push around Kansas in Lawrence. The Jayhawks have the much better offensive team and are coming off their best performance of conference play last time out. That was without Kevin McCullar, who is probable for this game. Kanas needs this game more, and they will get it by 6-8 points. They should never be an underdog at home and we will gladly ride them in this game. | |||||||
02-02-24 | Raptors v. Rockets -4 | Top | 106-135 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
The Rockets have been a bit back and forth lately but we think this is a good spot for them, and the line is more than fair. They seem to be locked into winning every other game lately, and good for us they lost last time out. That was against a better team, and this is a good spot for a bounce back. Toronto has been a very poor road team and have just seven wins away from home. They have covered in two straight but haven’t been good in general at covering despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers. Houston has covered in three of their last four, so they are playing a bit better than expectations. They have also covered in seven of the last nine meetings in this series. | |||||||
02-01-24 | Pacers v. Knicks -2.5 | 105-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Knicks are just rolling right now and we think they have the defense to slow down the Pacers. They play at one of the slowest paces in the league and they can throw Indiana off their game tonight. The Knicks are banged up right now but they have one of the best home records in the league, while the Pacers are less than a .500 team on the road. New York has covered sin six straight and they continue to be underappreciated by the oddsmakers. | |||||||
01-31-24 | Magic v. Spurs +5.5 | Top | 108-98 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
The Spurs are vastly improving throughout the season right in front of our eyes, and this is a team that should have great betting value down the stretch run of the season. They have covered in five of the last seven and have been underrated by the oddsmakers. Orlando started off the season great, but it looks like they may not be as good as advertised as they have fallen off quite a bit recently. San Antonio has covered in seven of the last nine meetings, so they have a strong history here. | |||||||
01-31-24 | Kings v. Predators +105 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
The Kings are in a freefall and it seems they are favored here based on name rather than performance. The Predators have won three straight meetings in this series. The Kings are possibly not as good as they looked early in the season. They have dropped 12 of their last 14 and are in horrible form right now. Nashville has only won four of nine, but they have been much more competitive and they have a strong recent history in this series. | |||||||
01-30-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks UNDER 6 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Seattle has dropped five of seven and they don’t deserve to be favored by any team by this much on the road right now. San Jose has won three of four and is actually in better form right now. We think this one will be low scoring, which makes getting the goals on the puckline even more valuable. Six of eight lifetime meetings have gone under the posted number. | |||||||
01-30-24 | Pacers +7.5 v. Celtics | 124-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
The Celtics expended a lot of energy last night in a rally vs the Pelicans and they honestly haven’t looked great the last couple games. Indiana has covered in six of the last nine meetings and they normally come to play when visiting Boston. Every team goes through ups and downs at points in the season and that big loss to the Clippers, who were on a tough back-to-back, has to be concerning. Indiana might get some players back tonight as well and we think this will be a close game regardless. | |||||||
01-30-24 | Texas Tech +5.5 v. TCU | 78-85 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #625 Texas Tech over TCU (7p.m., Tuesday, January 30 ESPN2) Texas Tech has been sneaky good in the Big 12 this season currently sitting at first play with a 5-1 record. TCU is coming off a marathon 3 overtime victory on Saturday and thus we expect tired legs and a little letdown in this game. We will grab the points and play the road underdog. | |||||||
01-28-24 | Chiefs +4 v. Ravens | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 98 h 4 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #319 Kansas City Chiefs over Baltimore Ravens (3p.m., Sunday, January 28 CBS) The Ravens have the better all-around team, but the Chiefs have the best player on the field, and we will gladly back Mahomes and the points in this game. The Kansas City offense played their best game of the season last time out against Buffalo and I look for that to continue in this game as well. Baltimore has all the pressure on them, as QB Jackson will win his second straight MVP and need a Super Bowl to validate his outstanding career. The Chiefs have a strong defense that can cause issues for QB Jackson with their blitz schemes, and I look for them to take this one down to the wire. KC seems to have a knack for winning close games and Sunday should be no different. | |||||||
01-27-24 | Charlotte v. Tulane OVER 147.5 | 75-71 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #701 Over 148 in Charlotte 49ers @ Tulane Green Wave (4p.m., Saturday, January 27 ESPNU) The 49ers have been hot and will enter this game having won 6 straight games. Yet this are on underdog to the Green Wave, and we expect the Green Wave to be able to control the pace of this game at home. Tulane averages 86 points per game and has gone way over this posted total in 5 straight games. For Charlotte to be competitive in this game they will need to keep up in scoring and will not be able to just sit on the ball or they may find themselves down big quick in this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-26-24 | Blazers v. Spurs -3.5 | 100-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
They haven’t been winning a lot of games so it may not be evident to the casual eye, but the Spurs are improving a lot as the season goes on. They have had a very tough schedule recently but they have hung with some of the big boys and they have been covering more frequently. They had a real bad outing last time out in a home blowout to OKC, and that was a very good team and the first home game after a long road trip can be tricky. But now they drop down a couple levels in talent and they are settled at home and they should be primed for a comfortable win over the Blazers. | |||||||
01-26-24 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin -3 | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #886 Wisconsin Badgers over Michigan State Spartans (8p.m., Friday, January 26 FS1) Wisconsin is in control to win the Big 10 regular season championship and expect them to take care of business at home against Michigan State. The Spartans have faced 3 bad opponents of late to have a winning streak, but they have struggled against the top teams in the league and the country. Wisconsin has only lost once at home this season and that streak will stay intact after Friday night. | |||||||
01-26-24 | Golden Knights v. Rangers UNDER 6 | 5-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Both teams have been offensively challenged lately and we don’t see either team breaking out for a big scoring night tonight. The losing team has scored one or fewer goals in six of the last seven meetings. Six of the last eight for Vegas have gone under the posted total, and two of the last three for NY have gone under. We expect a low scoring game here. | |||||||
01-25-24 | San Francisco v. Gonzaga OVER 151.5 | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #809 Over in San Francisco Dons @ Gonzaga Bulldogs (9p.m., Thursday, January 25 ESPN2) The Zags have become a bubble team in 2024 and it is not a given they will make the NCAA Tournament come March. They have a strong offense and their best chance for success is outscore opponents. This total has been going up all morning long and we will back it on Thursday. | |||||||
01-25-24 | Celtics -7.5 v. Heat | Top | 143-110 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Even though the Celtics already got a comfortable win over Miami at the start of the season, we are confident revenge is still on their mind from the playoff series loss. And they are in a great spot for a big win tonight. They are healthy and have had two nights off, while the Heat come in on a back-to-back. They lost last night at home to the banged-up Grizzlies in another ugly performance that marked their fourth straight loss. All those opponents were much worse teams than the Celtics. Boston should be extra motivated tonight and they won’t take it easy on the Heat just because they are struggling. We think they bring their A Game tonight and score a double digit win. | |||||||
01-25-24 | Bruins v. Senators +119 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Boston comes in on a back-to-back and this will be their third game in four nights. They already looked kind of tired in a home loss to Carolina last night. Ottawa isn’t a good team, but they will likely play their best when Boston comes to town, and they are a winning team on home ice. Not to mention that they have beat Boston the last two games in Ottawa. | |||||||
01-24-24 | Colorado State v. Nevada -3 | 64-77 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #738 Nevada over Colorado State (10:30p.m., Wednesday, January 25 FS1) This is a make or break game for Nevada, as their chances to make the NCAA Tournament are slim at the moment. They have lost 3 straight games, but still have a solid 15-4 record and I expect them to right the ship on Wednesday night playing at home. The Rams are just not the same team in true road games and expect them to lose their third straight road game. Nevada is desperate and gets this game by 7-9 points. | |||||||
01-24-24 | Thunder v. Spurs OVER 241.5 | Top | 140-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
We think the sky is the limit for this total and think it can easily fly over 250 here tonight. The Spurs just don’t play much defense at all. OKC is coming in on a back-to-back after getting pushed to the limit by Portland last night, and we don’t see them with much energy on the defensive end. We lean heavily to the Spurs here in this matchup as they have been very competitive lately, and we definitely expect them to get their share of the total in this one. They have scored 120 or more in their last three games, so their offense is playing great at the moment. Both teams are solidly over teams for their season records, and we just don’t see much defensive effort on either side tonight and both offenses should run up a big score in the Alamo City. | |||||||
01-24-24 | Jets +130 v. Maple Leafs | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Our first instinct when Canadian teams meet is to always examine the underdog first, and this is a dog we think should be a slight favorite here tonight. They are not only in better form overall, but they have more road wins than Toronto has at home. Toronto has had their number in recent meetings, but things have changed, and we think the Jets have a better than 50 percent chance to win at an underdog price. | |||||||
01-23-24 | Rangers -1.5 v. Sharks | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -126 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
San Jose, surprisingly, has won two straight. They beat the Ducks and then last night beat their arch rivals, the LA Kings, on the road in OT. That was the biggest win they will likely have this season and creates a very strong letdown spot tonight. The Sharks have no reason to exert themselves on a back-to-back here. There was probably a great celebration last night. This team isn’t chasing a wild card or anything. This is the definition of a team Fat and Happy and they probably just don’t care much about this game. The Rangers have lost six of their last nine against a very difficult schedule, so this is the perfect Get Right game for them and we think this matchup will be very one-sided. | |||||||
01-23-24 | Knicks -3.5 v. Nets | Top | 108-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
This one is a road game for the Knicks but one of the easiest road games in the NBA. These teams are going in opposite directions and we don’t see the Nets being too competitive here. They have been getting some pretty generous lines from the oddsmakers and still haven’t been covering. The Knicks are playing some of the best defense in the NBA since their big trade, and we think they will shut down the Nets inconsistent offense. The Knicks have won and covered in three straight meetings, and we expect a comfortable win tonight. | |||||||
01-23-24 | Wisconsin -3.5 v. Minnesota | 61-59 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #625 Wisconsin over Minnesota (7p.m., Tuesday, January 23 BTN) Wisconsin has dominated this series and we will gladly lay the points in this game tonight at the barn. Not sure why this line has been coming down since it was posted yesterday afternoon, as the Badgers have beaten Minnesota six straight times. Wisconsin has great depth and can score points this season in a variety of ways. Minnesota is 11-2 at home but those two losses came against Iowa and Missouri. Wisconsin is better than both of those teams, as Minnesota will enter tonight having lost 3 straight games. The Badgers have a lot of recruits from Minnesota and they always get up for playing this game. | |||||||
01-22-24 | Spurs +14 v. 76ers | 123-133 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
We are likely going to be a buyer for the Spurs in the second half of the season – in good sports of course. This team is improving and they are well coached. They are going to be much more competitive and one we will be looking at when getting a big number like this. San Antonio is 8-2 ATS in their last 10. We think there is a great chance they keep this one within single digits as this matchup doesn’t really move the needle for the Sixers. | |||||||
01-22-24 | Jets +118 v. Bruins | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Winnipeg is one of the best road teams in the NHL and we have to jump on this nice underdog price even though Boston rarely loses at home. These teams met in December in Winnipeg and the home team won 5-1. We think the Jets match up well with the Bruins and we think they will bring their A Game here. They are in better recent form as well. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Bucs v. Lions -6 | Top | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 73 h 58 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #316 Detroit Lions over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3p.m., Sunday, January 21 NBC) NFL Playoff Game of the Year. The Buccaneers are a team that nobody wants to advance except for those in Florida and I see their season coming to an end on Sunday. Tampa Bay played well against Philadelphia last time out, but the two games prior they struggled against teams that did not even make the playoffs. Detroit will be rocking again for this game, as the Lions look to reach the conference championship round for the first time in over 30 years. The Lions have the more balanced offense this season and can beat you on the ground or through the air. Tampa Bay is reliant on the passing game and torching Philadelphia is one thing, but Detroit has a much better defense. These teams already met earlier this season with Detroit winning by a score of 20-6 at Raymond James Stadium. Detroit has been a story all season long in the NFL and that will continue with a double-digit victory at home. The Lions knocked off a hot team last week and will knock off another hot team on Sunday. This is the toughest ticket in the divisional round and the 12th man will also be a factor, as will the experience of Jared Goff (super bowl quarterback). | |||||||
01-21-24 | Michigan State v. Maryland +1.5 | 61-59 | Loss | -120 | 1 h 31 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Maryland +1 over Michigan State (12p.m., Sunday, January 21 CBS) Michigan State is not out of their funk and Maryland is a much better team when playing at home. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-20-24 | Iowa State v. TCU OVER 143.5 | Top | 73-72 | Win | 100 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #639 Over in Iowa State Cyclones @ TCU Horned Frogs (2p.m., Saturday, January 20 ESPNU) Both teams average over 80 points per game and we expect at least one team to hit their average in this game at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, TX. Iowa State has played some physical defensive minded teams of late, but TCU should allow them to go up and down the court like BYU did last time out (they have up 87 points). TCU gave up 81 points to Cincinnati last time out and to win this game today they need to score close to 80 points. | |||||||
01-18-24 | Coyotes v. Canucks UNDER 6.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Arizona has been playing very strong defense recently, and their offense leaves a lot to be desired. We think this game goes one of two ways: a close, low scoring game, or a Vancouver blowout. We think both possibilities bode well for the under, and we just don’t see the Coyotes engaging in a shootout here. | |||||||
01-18-24 | Thunder -3.5 v. Jazz | Top | 134-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
Utah has been playing great basketball, and OKC is coming off a pair of losses. But it is very telling that the Thunder are laying some points here on the road. Sharp bettors pounded OKC when the line was released, but there is still plenty of value at this number. Even though OKC is playing their third game in four nights, they are coming in off a night off, and this team is young, athletic, and conditioned, and we don’t see fatigue being an issue. Props to the Jazz as they have been playing great, but they are a hot team that will likely flame out in the postseason very quickly, while the Thunder are a legit championship contender. And OKC has been one of the most reliable betting teams for the last few years. The Thunder will take this game very seriously after a pair of losses to the Lakers and Clippers. Utah was supposed to play Golden State last night, but the game was postponed due to the tragedy with the Warriors coach. This blip might have thrown the Jazz off their momentum. OKC always plays well against the Jazz. They have won and covered in four straight meetings. Utah has covered in only one of the last eight meetings (one push). | |||||||
01-18-24 | Illinois -2.5 v. Michigan | 88-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #799 Illinois over Michigan (8:30p.m., Thursday, January 18 FS1) Just do not see Illinois losing two games in a row to inferior competition. Michigan is a mess and has a terrible head coach and they struggle on both ends of the court. The Illini have great balance and that will be the difference on Thursday. The Wolverines have lost 5 of their last 6 games and Illinois is a better team than all of them. | |||||||
01-17-24 | Mississippi State v. Kentucky -6.5 | 77-90 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #690 Kentucky over Mississippi State (7p.m., Wednesday, January 17 ESPN) Kentucky is 8-1 at home and Mississippi State will struggle during most of SEC play, especially when they are playing road games. This Kentucky team can shoot it better than past teams averaging over 10 made three pointers per game. The Wildcats are coming off a tough loss to Texas A&M last time out and they will be ready to make a statement in this game winning it by double digits. | |||||||
01-16-24 | Thunder v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 117-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Love the Clippers in this spot. They are coming off a rare loss at Minnesota that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated, so they will want to get back on track here. OKC comes in on a back-to-back after a really tough game against the Lakers last night. They expended lots of energy in that one, so facing a better team in the second leg will be difficult. We love that this number is on the good side of the key NBA betting number of 7, as that is the point where the losing team stops fouling at the end of the game and concedes the loss. | |||||||
01-16-24 | Wisconsin -5.5 v. Penn State | 83-87 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #645 Wisconsin over Penn State (9p.m., Tuesday, January 16 BTN) Wisconsin is going to win the Big 10 this season. They already have quality road wins at Ohio State and Michigan State. Now they take a step down in class against a rebuilding Penn State team. The Lions are 2-4 in conference and should be 1-5 if not for a miraculous comeback against Ohio State, a game in which they were down big. Wisconsin is better at 4 of the 5 positions on the court and will win this game by double digits. | |||||||
01-16-24 | Sharks +126 v. Blackhawks | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
With Bedard out, we are pretty sure the Blackhawks are a worse team than San Jose. The Sharks have actually won two of their last three visits to Chicago, and that loss was in a shootout. San Jose has been better recently on offense and we think they are the more capable team of scoring goals tonight. Chicago has scored only three goals in their last thee games. We think the Sharks come in with a positive mentality and confidence they can get the win here, and that is exactly what we expect them to do. | |||||||
01-15-24 | Spurs +8.5 v. Hawks | Top | 99-109 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
The Hawks are 9-29 ATS on the season, so you have to take notice when they are laying a number like this. We really like the way the Spurs have been improving. They are coached by one of the best to ever do it, and he is getting the most out of his club at the moment. They are no longer an easy blowout for their opponent. They have covered six straight games. This Spurs team is starting to show the recipe for a team we really like to bet on. They are underappreciated by the oddsmakers and betting public, yet they are competing on a nightly basis and covering but not winning a lot of games. So if they stay under the radar, they can produce a lot of betting profits. They have also covered two straight and three of four against the Hawks. | |||||||
01-14-24 | Washington v. UCLA | 61-73 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #845 Washington (PK) over UCLA (7p.m., Saturday, January 14 PAC-12 Network) This is a straight fade against UCLA. Until they prove they can win a game we will fade them. They have lost 8 of their last 9 games. | |||||||
01-13-24 | Lakers v. Jazz +1.5 | Top | 125-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
This line is just ridiculous that the Jazz are the underdog. This just shows the power of the Lakers as the public team in the NBA. They have dropped five of seven and they aren’t looking like a championship contender at the moment. The Jazz are on a B2B but they have won seven of eight and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. We had the Jazz handicapped at -3, so there is great value here tonight. | |||||||
01-13-24 | Dolphins v. Chiefs -4 | Top | 7-26 | Win | 100 | 79 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #144 Kansas City Chiefs over Miami Dolphins (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 13 Peacock) The Dolphins lost the division on Sunday Night Football and now must travel to play a night game against the Chiefs in chilly conditions. The temperature for this game will be around zero degrees and that will give the Chiefs a great advantage for this game. Miami is also banged up on defense with numerous injuries and I just do not see them coming away with a victory. These two teams met earlier this season with the Chiefs winning in London to make to 4 straight against the Dolphins. Kansas City has won 3 of their last 4 games and Miami just does not beat very many top tier teams. The Chiefs have their problems on offense, but they have a strong defense and a great home field advantage. Lay the points, as the Chiefs will win this game by double-digits. | |||||||
01-13-24 | Islanders v. Predators -103 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
The Preds are being punished too much by the oddsmakers for this B2B. They barely broke a sweat in their win over Dallas on Friday and now face an Islanders team that is having a down year. They used to win on the strength of defense and goalkeeping, but those areas are down more than we are used to. Nashville has won nine straight meetings, and we like them to make it 10 straight tonight. | |||||||
01-13-24 | Arkansas +8 v. Florida | 68-90 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #699 Arkansas +8 over Florida (4p.m., Saturday, January 13 ESPN) Just do not believe Arkansas is as bad as they have played of late. Also do not believe Florida is good enough to be laying this many points in a SEC game. Both teams are winless in the league, Arkansas played better last time out against Georgia. This team beat Duke earlier this season and should be able to take this one down to the wire. | |||||||
01-12-24 | Raptors v. Jazz -3 | Top | 113-145 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
The road trip languishes on for this Raptors club and they face a Utah team that has been dominant lately but doesn’t get the notice of the oddsmakers or public bettors because of the lack of big names on the team. But we think they show up tonight with their great home court advantage and a team that seems to be brimming with confidence right now. The oddsmakers have been too slow to adjust to how this team is playing right now. | |||||||
01-12-24 | Predators v. Stars -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
These teams played here Saturday and Nashville scored the upset win. This creates a great revenge spot. Before that game, their last two visits here resulted in 5-1 losses. When Dallas is motivated, we have no doubt they are the better team. They had won five straight meetings before Saturday. They also looked really good in their two games since vs. Minnesota and both the offense and defense seem to be clicking now. | |||||||
01-11-24 | Stanford -4.5 v. Oregon State | 88-84 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #839 Stanford over Oregon State (11p.m., Thursday, January 11 ESPN2) No bet against Oregon State is a bad bet. They have a lame duck coach that should have been fired long ago and a team that is just not very good. The Beavers are just 1-3 in the league and have little home court advantage. Stanford has the better talent and they should be able to win this game by double digits. | |||||||
01-11-24 | Suns v. Lakers | 127-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
We think the Lakers are overrated and there is normally value in going against them regardless of how well they play as they are one of the biggest public plays in sports. The Suns haven’t been playing great, but we think this game is more important to them than the Lakers and we think they bring their A Game after a couple losses. |
