02-23-23 | CS Bakersfield +1.5 v. CS-Northridge | 68-75 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #827 Cal Bakersfield over Cal State Northridge (10p.m., Thursday, February 23 ESPN+) No bet against Northridge is a bad bet. They have lost 6 of their last 8 games and Bakersfield beat them by 15 points during this span. The Roadrunners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against teams with a losing record. The Matadors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games. | |||||||
02-23-23 | Grizzlies v. 76ers -3.5 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Teams will want to get off to a strong start for the stretch run after the all-star break, and we think this is a game that the Sixers will want to take very seriously. These teams are somewhat close together record wise but we think the Sixers are the much stronger team, and they should take care of business with a comfortable win here in front of the home faithful. Philly is one of the best betting teams this season at 34-23 ATS, while the Grizzlies have a losing ATS mark. The Sixers are a dominant home team at 23-8, while Memphis does their best work at home as well but is 11-17 on the road. The Sixers won and covered four straight before the break, and we think that momentum will continue here after. The Grizzlies have covered only one of their last six road contests. They have covered in only one of their last six visits to Philly. They are 9-19 ATS in road games this season, while the Sixers have been dominant, at 21-10 ATS at home. Memphis is 3-7 ATS when in an underdog role this season, and we think they come up well short of the cover here tonight | |||||||
02-22-23 | Iowa v. Wisconsin +1.5 | 52-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Iowa (6p.m., Wednesday, February 22 BTN) Iowa does not play much defense and this is just what Wisconsin needs to get back on track. The Badgers already won at Iowa City this season and the Hawkeyes are just not the same team when playing on the road. They have lost 4 of their last 5 road games with their only win coming against Minnesota during this slide. Iowa is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games. The underdog is 3-1 ATS (2 pushes) in the last 6 games between Iowa and Wisconsin. | |||||||
02-22-23 | Jets v. Islanders UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Winnipeg is 39-14 to the under this season, so you always have to check for them to go under the posted total. They have gone under in eight of nine with one push. Their offense has been unspectacular, while their defense has been playing very well. In fact, these are both Top 10 defensive teams and both have offenses that are in the bottom portion of the league. Four of the last six meetings have gone under, and we see another offensive struggle here tonight. | |||||||
02-21-23 | Flyers +1.5 v. Oilers | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Philly has been excellent on the puckline on the road, where they have compiled a 21-9 record ATS. Edmonton is for sure the better team but they are not in the best form at the moment and they have dropped four straight and five of six. Philly is coming in off a road win at Calgary and should be playing with a lot of confidence tonight. | |||||||
02-21-23 | Villanova v. Xavier -4 | 64-63 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #602 Xavier over Villanova (6:30p.m., Tuesday, February 21 FS1) Villanova just is not the same team this season without Jay Wright at the helm. Xavier has another get right game after dropping 2 of their last 3 and they should be able to win this game by close to double-digits. The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. The Musketeers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a victory in their previous game. | |||||||
02-20-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks UNDER 6.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
The Sharks have been one of the strongest over teams all season but they have now hit five straight unders, and we think they will continue to trend in that direction as their offense has been poor lately and they have also stepped up the defense. The under is also 4-1 in the last five meetings. This looks like another low scoring contest today. | |||||||
02-19-23 | Maple Leafs v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
A couple things set up for the Blackhawks to perform here. Toronto is on a back-to-back after playing their most hated rival, Montreal, on Saturday. This is a revenge spot for the home team as the Hawks lost 5-2 in Toronto on Wednesday. Toronto has won only three of the last 11 meetings here in Chicago, so this is a place they rarely play well at. Chicago looked solid last time out in a road win at Ottawa and we think the positive momentum from that one will carry over here. | |||||||
02-19-23 | Northern Kentucky v. Cleveland State -140 | 63-64 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #838 Cleveland State -140 money line over Northern Kentucky (3p.m., Sunday, February 19) The Vikings have a ton of talent and should be able to knock down the Norse at home on Sunday afternoon. This team has gotten off to hot starts most of the season and are hitting a team playing their second straight road game on Sunday. The No. 1 seed is still up for grabs in the Horizon League and the winner of this game will be in strong position to make a claim to that spot. Cleveland State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. Northern Kentucky is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. | |||||||
02-18-23 | Sabres v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
The San Jose offense has been in a bit of a funk, but this seems like a great situation to break out of it. Both of these clubs are among the worst defensive teams in the league. Buffalo has one of the best offenses, however, and San Jose has a bit of an underrated offense, in our opinion. There were nine goals scored when these teams met in December, and we could see the same type of outcome here tonight in the rematch. | |||||||
02-18-23 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin +1 | 58-57 | Push | 0 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #614 Wisconsin (pk) over Rutgers (12p.m., Saturday, February 18 BTN) Wisconsin is in the middle of a 3 game homestand and I believe that they will win all 3 of these games. Rutgers has lost 4 straight road games and they are no longer ranked on the season. They are a good matchup for Wisconsin and feel that the Badger will grind out a 6-8 point victory in this game. Rutgers is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning home record. | |||||||
02-17-23 | Rangers v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
The Rangers offense is just humming right now. They have scored exactly six goals in all three or their previous games. We think they can keep it up here against an Edmonton team that is in the bottom portion of the league for goals allowed. Edmonton brings the No. 1 offense in the league to the table tonight, and we see a competitive match here where both teams get their share of the total. Three of the last four meetings have gone over. | |||||||
02-17-23 | Wright State v. Cleveland State -1.5 | 68-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #870 Cleveland State -1.5 over Wright State (7p.m., Friday, February 17 ESPNU) Just feel Cleveland State is the more talented team and they will earn the season sweep of Wright State tonight at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, OH. The Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. | |||||||
02-16-23 | Utah v. Arizona -10.5 | 62-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #826 Arizona -11 over Utah (10p.m., Thursday, February 16 PAC12N) The Line has moved two points since it was released on Wednesday afternoon. Arizona needs to win their next 4 days in order to have a chance to win the regular season title. They also have revenge on their minds, as Utah beat them bad earlier this season. The Wildcats have covered the spread in 4 straight home games. | |||||||
02-16-23 | Clippers v. Suns UNDER 223.5 | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Six straight meetings have gone under. We think both teams will lock down defensively and expect this one to finish at least five points under the total as we had this one handicapped under 220. The Suns have been trending to the under and we think their defense will hold the Clippers to a reasonable score tonight. | |||||||
02-16-23 | Canadiens v. Hurricanes UNDER 6 | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
Both teams have trended to the under this season, especially Montreal, who is 28-22 to the under on the season. While that may not be the strongest of trends, if you look closer, you will see that the under is 17-7 in road games for the Canaidens this season. Montreal has been playing decent defense and are coming off a shutout vs. the Blackhawks and have allowed only five goals in their last three contests. Tonight, we just need them to keep the Hurricanes from lighting up the scoreboard, and we think that is an achievable task. But we just don’t see the Canadiens offense doing much here. They have had a home-heavy schedule lately that has somewhat masks their offensive struggles. This team has one of the worst road offenses in the league, and they face one of the best defensive teams in the NHL tonight on the road. They normally don’t play well here in Carolina. The under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings here. The under is 4-1 regardless of the venue in the last five meetings. Montreal has scored one or fewer goals in seven of the last 10 meetings. Both of the last two meetings were 4-0 Hurricanes wins. We see the same type of match today. We think this will be a dominant win by the home team but we will save a lot on juice by going with the under here vs. the big price on the moneyline and puckline for Carolina. | |||||||
02-15-23 | Indiana -2 v. Northwestern | 62-64 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #713 Indiana over Northwestern (9p.m., Wednesday, February 15 BTN) We will follow the line movement in this game. It would be a tough task for Northwestern to knock off both Indiana and Purdue in consecutive games. These are the two best teams in the league and Northwestern just is not on that level. The road team is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Indiana and Northwestern. | |||||||
02-14-23 | Penguins v. Sharks +141 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
San Jose is considered one of the true bottom feeders in the NHL, but we don’t see them as being as bad as most do. We see some potential here, and that has been showing lately as the Sharks are playing some of their best hockey of the season right now. They have won three of four, and their previous two games before that were OT losses. One of those recent wins was in Pittsburgh, 6-4. This shows they match up well against the Penguins. And forget about the revenge angle. The Sharks don’t have the stature for Pittsburgh to dwell on that loss, and they have played several matches since. The Sharks should be getting their best goalie back from illness tonight. Pittsburgh doesn’t typically play well here in San Jose as they are 5-14 in the last 19 meetings. | |||||||
02-14-23 | Warriors v. Clippers OVER 228 | 124-134 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
The Clippers have been an under team this season, especially at home, so the oddsmakers have to be sure not to set the totals too high. But they went too low here, in our opinion. Even without Curry on the court this team can score, and they are going to push the pace. They have gone over in five of their last six. Two of the last three meetings have gone over, and we see this one as being high scoring as well, and the Clippers offense should benefit from the pace here tonight. | |||||||
02-14-23 | Michigan v. Wisconsin | 59-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Michigan (9p.m., Tuesday, February 14 ESPN2) Both teams are desperate for a victory after giving away games over the weekend. Look for the Badgers to prevail at home, as they will be up for this game after Juwan Howards actions in the game last year. Michigan is a good matchup for Wisconsin, as the Badgers have the size to help with Hunter Dickenson. Michigan is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. | |||||||
02-13-23 | Sabres v. Kings -140 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
The home team is always the bet when these teams meet up. The home team is 24-7 in the last 31 meetings. Wins and losses tend to come in bunches in the NHL, and Buffalo followed five straight wins with three straight losses, and we expect them to make that four straight tonight. They have a -9 goal differential in their last two games. | |||||||
02-13-23 | Pelicans +3 v. Thunder | 103-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Both teams have been playing well but we just don’t believe in the Thunder as a favorite although we love to take them when getting points. But they are laying too many here in what we think is pretty much a coin flip of a game. OKC is 2-5 ATS as a small favorite like this. We think this is a great chance for a rare road win by the Pelicans tonight. | |||||||
02-12-23 | Chiefs +2 v. Eagles | Top | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 150 h 27 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #101 Kansas City Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 12 FOX) All the talk is about the Eagles dominate run to reach the Super Bowl, but the odds makers are having no part of that. They have kept this game as a pick’em and I believe that the books wants Philadelphia money in this game. I believe that the difference in this game will come down to experience, something Kansas City has a major edge in at the quarterback and head coaching positions. Jalen Hurts did not throw the ball well in the conference championship and if the Chiefs can contain the rushing attack and make him beat them they should be in a good shape. Philadelphia has had a cake walk to reach the Super Bowl and just are not as battle tested as Kansas City is. Philadelphia is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Andy Reid earns his second Super Bowl victory, and this is one bittersweet coming against his former team. | |||||||
02-12-23 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State +2.5 | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #838 Cleveland State +2.5 over Youngstown State (1p.m., Sunday, February 12 ESPN+) The Vikings are a tough team with their length and I see them winning this game today against the top team in the league. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 games between Youngstown and Cleveland State. The Vikings are 4-0 ATS against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
02-11-23 | Bulls +5.5 v. Cavs | 89-97 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
We really like the Bulls to compete here tonight and think they have a decent chance for the outright win. The Cavs have to be exhausted on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. The Bulls come in rested and have lost two straight. So they will likely bring their A Game tonight as they had won three straight before the current slide. Cleveland has had a pretty favorable schedule lately. They should be fat and happy here tonight and probably won’t have much urgency like the Bulls should have. | |||||||
02-11-23 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Nebraska | 63-73 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #705 Wisconsin over Nebraska (4p.m., Saturday, February 11 BTN) Wisconsin seems to play better on the road and look for that to be the case again on Saturday. The Badgers have won their last two road games and those came against better teams that are better than Nebraska. | |||||||
02-10-23 | Coyotes -110 v. Blackhawks | 3-4 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but Arizona is a much better team and they are improving. They beat the Bruins this season, for cripes sake. We think they are further ahead in the building process. Road wins have been hard to come by, but this seems like an opportune spot for an easy road win. | |||||||
02-10-23 | Knicks v. 76ers UNDER 223 | Top | 108-119 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
These teams played Sunday and the total went under by 21 points. The oddsmakers didn’t make enough of a downward adjustment on this total, in our opinion, and there is nice value here on the under. The under is 18-7 in the last 25 meetings in Philly. It is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall. While the offenses will likely make some adjustments from Sunday’s game, we have a lot of wiggle room here for the total even if the offenses play much better. But these are two very good defensive teams. Philly is No. 3 for defense, while the Knicks are right outside the Top 10. But the Knicks have held three of their last four opponents to 104 or less, including these Sixers, and they have stepped up the defense lately. Philly has gone under in four of five, and they have been excellent on the defensive side. We see this one as comfortably under the number. | |||||||
02-09-23 | Bucks -7.5 v. Lakers | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Lakers in Los Angeles, As a small-market team they normally bring their A Game when playing under the bright lights in the big city, and we think that will be the case again tonight. LeBron broke the scoring record last time out and that is one of the biggest stories in the nation, and we think this could create a letdown spot for them. He is also listed as questionable tonight and his status will no doubt move this line, but we like the Bucks for a comfortable win whether he plays or not. The Bucks are in playoff form right now with eight straight wins, and the Lakers are still trying to figure things out. | |||||||
02-09-23 | CS Sacramento v. Northern Arizona | 55-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #790 Northern Arizona over Sacramento State (8p.m., Thursday, February 9 ESPN+) The Jacks are just 2-10 in Big Sky play but they have been very competitive of late and look for them to notch their third conference victory of the season at the Skydome. | |||||||
02-09-23 | Avalanche v. Lightning UNDER 6 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
Tampa Bay has a Top 5 offense so it can be scary betting the under with them, especially as they are one of the top OVER teams in the league. But Colorado is the opposite, and the UNDER is 29-17 for them this season. Their offense stinks, but they are playing excellent defense, and we don’t see the Lightning piling up the goals here. Tampa Bay hasn’t exactly come out of the break in great form. They were destroyed 7-1 at Florida then scored only three in a back-to-back, home loss to San Jose. The Sharks have one of the worst defenses in the league. This is the first meeting since the playoffs, so we think both teams go all out with the defense here. | |||||||
02-08-23 | Wisconsin +4.5 v. Penn State | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #727 Wisconsin over Penn State (7:30p.m., Thursday, February 8 BTN) Wisconsin is a bad team to play laying points, but they are a strong team to play as an underdog. With a total in the 120s, it will be hard for Penn State to cover this spread unless they go off from the arc. Wisconsin already beat Penn State once this season and expect this game to go down to the wire as well. The underdog is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings between Wisconsin and Penn State. | |||||||
02-07-23 | Suns -5.5 v. Nets | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Suns have quietly been playing great basketball and they get their Big 3 back tonight as Booker is expected to join the roster. They face a Brooklyn team in flux after the trade of Kyrie Irving, and the Suns will be facing a depleted roster tonight that is on the second night of a back-to-back. We expect a double-digit win from the road team here. | |||||||
02-07-23 | Sharks v. Lightning OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
Tampa Bay allowed SEVEN goals last night at Florida, so they are coming out of the break not in the greatest form, and on a B2B here they could give up some goals to San Jose, which can be a dangerous offensive team if they are in the zone. San Jose has been one of the top OVER teams in the NHL this season. They normally give up a lot of goals but then can score enough for their share of the total without winning a lot of games. But this is a nice bounce back spot for Tampa Bay, who has been decent in B2Bs, but we see both teams scoring their share of the total in this one. | |||||||
02-06-23 | Wild v. Coyotes +1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
The Coyotes have been profitable on the puckline this season, mainly as a home underdog and they are 12-8 ATS at home. With extra rest, they should be able to defend the home fortress tonight and keep this one close. Minnesota has a pair of extra time wins and three losses in their last five, so they aren’t in top form. Last time we saw the Coyotes at home, they upset the Blues 5-0. We think they will be competitive here. The Coyotes have covered the puckline in the last three meetings and we think they make it 4-for-4 here tonight as this team isn’t a total pushover anymore and the oddsmakers have been slow to adjust. | |||||||
02-06-23 | Clippers -7.5 v. Nets | Top | 124-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
The Clippers are quietly one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won seven of nine and their two losses were by one in Milwaukee (in a game they led at one point by 20+) and in Cleveland on the second of a B2B when they rested half the team. Tonight they face a very vulnerable Nets team that not only is missing Durant, but they have other key players on the way out of town and others coming in via the Dallas trade. The Nets will try their hardest but they just don’t have the firepower to stay competitive here tonight. LA has covered in seven of their last eight, and we think this team won’t overlook the Nets since they had lots of struggles before things came together for this recent positive run. | |||||||
02-05-23 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin -165 | 54-52 | Loss | -165 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #856 Wisconsin -165 money line over Northwestern (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 5 BTN) We keep getting burned with low numbers so we will lay the money line price on Sunday. Wisconsin cannot afford to lose to Northwestern at home if they plan on making the NCAA Tournament come March. The favorite is 18-7 ATS (1 push) in the last 26 games between Northwestern and Wisconsin. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
02-05-23 | 76ers v. Knicks UNDER 225 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
These are two strong defensive teams. The Knicks are coming not only off a back-to-back but after an OT game vs. the Clippers where they let a lead slip away. So this looks like a flat spot for them, and we don’t see them putting up a big point total here against the No. 6 defense. We think NY will have to rely on their D to keep them competitive here. | |||||||
02-04-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Knicks | Top | 134-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
The Clippers at full strength, which they will likely be tonight, have been playing some of the best basketball in the NBA recently. They deserved the win last time out in Milwaukee and controlled most of that game but couldn’t hit any shots late and lost by one. That makes this game against a lesser opponent even more important. The Clippers have covered in six of their last seven games, with the only non cover coming in Cleveland in the game where a lot of key players sat out. With some of those types of games on the schedule, it makes full squad games like this more important, and we think they take care of business here tonight. The Clips have covered in seven of the last nine visits to MSG. | |||||||
02-04-23 | Illinois v. Iowa -2 | Top | 79-81 | Push | 0 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #666 Iowa over Illinois (2:30p.m., Saturday, February 2 FOX) BIG 10 GAME OF THE YEAR Iowa is the more desperate team in this contest, and they are finally getting healthy. They are 11-2 at home this season and have the best player on the floor in Kris Murray. He is averaging over 20 points per game and look for a big outing from him today in Iowa City. Illinois has been on a nice run of late, but most if not all of that damage has come against bad teams. This includes wins against Ohio State, Nebraska (2), Wisconsin (2) and Minnesota. Iowa is better than all of those teams. We have seen across the country over the last couple of weeks, that parity is here, and the more desperate team usually gets the win. That will be the case again today with Iowa. The Hawkeyes are 45-20 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 68 home games. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. They get it done today by close to double-digits. | |||||||
02-03-23 | Suns +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 106-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad and embarrassing loss as they normally bring their A Game in the next outing. That is the case for the Suns here. They were embarrassed at home by the Hawks last time out, 132-100. NBA players have a lot of pride and ego, and good teams don’t often fail to show up in consecutive games. And the Suns had been playing well as they had won six of seven entering that game. Boston has been winning, but they have covered only one of their last seven games as the oddsmakers are posting too high of spreads. They probably won’t be on their A Game against this out-of-conference foe. The Suns aren’t a big underdog often, but they are 5-2 ATS when getting five or more points. The Suns have also had great betting success here in Boston as they have covered in eight of the last 11 meetings. They have also covered in 10 of the last 14 meetings overall. | |||||||
02-02-23 | Pelicans v. Mavs UNDER 224 | 106-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Both teams have been inconsistent on offense, and we think this is an inflated total tonight. Five of the last six for Dallas have gone under. Four of the last six for New Orleans have gone under. These teams played a high-scoring game last month but that the bookies have not adjusted the total from that matchup tells us a lot here. | |||||||
02-02-23 | Wisconsin +7.5 v. Ohio State | 65-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #773 Wisconsin over Ohio State (7p.m., Thursday, February 2 FS1) Both teams are in freefall at the moment and desperate for a victory. The metrics continue to overrate this Ohio State team and they are not as good as their net rating suggests. Wisconsin needs to keep this game low scoring and if they do they should be able to keep this game in single digits. Ohio State is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games. | |||||||
02-01-23 | Warriors v. Wolves +3.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
The Warriors are 8-16 ATS on the road. Minnesota has won three of four and five of seven, and they are quietly playing great basketball right now. These teams have traded ATS covers for the last seven meetings, and it’s now the Timberwolves turn. We think they have a great chance for the outright win. | |||||||
02-01-23 | Bruins -117 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Bruins have lost three straight, but there are absolutely no problems with this team. It started out with a tough, well played one-goal loss in Tampa Bay. Then they lost at Florida in OT. They came out flat, as we predicted, the next night in a back-to-back at streaking Carolina. But this game kind of gets important. The league goes into the All Star Break this weekend, and we are confident the Bruins don’t want to go into the break on a four-game slide. They should bring their A Game tonight at a very good Toronto team. But Boston has been head and shoulders the best team in the NHL on both sides of the puck, and we think they get the job done tonight in an important match. | |||||||
02-01-23 | Creighton v. Georgetown +13.5 | 63-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #662 Georgetown over Creighton (6:30p.m., Wednesday, February 1 CBSSN) Georgetown has been playing better of late and their last 4 games have been played under tonight’s posted number. Creighton is coming off a big win over the weekend but they are still not ranked and this is a lot of points to be laying on the road. Expect a letdown by them after beating conference leader Xavier last time out. | |||||||
01-31-23 | Indiana v. Maryland -2.5 | 55-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #644 Maryland over Indiana (9p.m., Tuesday, January 31 ESPN2) Maryland is at home and the Hoosiers are still not whole. The Terrapins will enter having won their last two games via blowout and 3 of their last 4 overall. They have the quickness at the guard position to take advantage of the Hoosiers in this game. Indiana is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The home team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between Indiana and Maryland. | |||||||
01-31-23 | Clippers v. Bulls OVER 225.5 | Top | 108-103 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
The Clippers offense has finally found its stride and the oddsmakers haven’t adjusted enough. We had this total handicapped in the low 230s, so there is insane value on this total tonight. The Clippers had a dud of an offensive game last time out, but half the team was scratched before the game and they played the Cavs, one of the best defensive teams in the league. But prior to that outing, the Clips had scored 120 or more in four of their previous five games. They have gone over in six of their last eight games, and we see the pace and scoring here being fluid and see a competitive game where both teams get their share of the total. | |||||||
01-31-23 | Senators v. Canadiens UNDER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
Both teams are trending to the under, as it is 12-7-21 in their last 10 games combined. These teams played Saturday in Ottawa, a 5-0 Senators victory. Montreal had been playing pretty solid defense leading up to the game, and they weren’t as bad in that one as the score might indicate since Ottawa had two late goals, an empty netter and another in the final minute after the Canadians had already conceded. With two days of rest, both defenses should have a lot of energy. Montreal will no doubt make some defensive adjustments. The under is 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings in Montreal. It is 14-5-1 in the last 20 meetings. We think those trends hold true here on Tuesday. | |||||||
01-30-23 | Raptors v. Suns -1.5 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
The Suns have won five of six. They are getting healthier and trending upwards. We think this line is more than fair for the home team tonight. The Raptors normally don’t play up to expectations when a small dog like this as they are 4-7 ATS when a dog of under 2.5 points. They are only 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings in Phoenix and 5-14 ATS in the last 19 meetings overall. Since these teams don’t meet often, that is a trend that goes back years. We expect the home team to pull away late in the game. | |||||||
01-29-23 | Bengals -2 v. Chiefs | Top | 20-23 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #323 Cincinnati Bengals over Kansas City Chiefs (6:40p.m., Sunday, January 29 CBS) Everyone is on the Bengals, which is sometimes a scary proposition, but as the games dwindle down, the public usually gets the big games correct. The Chiefs opened up as a favorite, but the wise guys and public were having no part of that. Cincinnati is now favored and the line during the week keeps going up. Joe Burrow has beaten Kansas City all three times in his career including earlier this season. The Chiefs are 1-8 (ATS) 1 push in their last 10 home games. The Bengals have won 10 straight games and will earn another trip to the Super Bowl on Sunday. Cincinnati has offensive line issues, but that was not a factor last week in Buffalo. Kansas City has quarterback issues with Patrick Mahomes suffering a high ankle sprain against Jacksonville last time out. He will play but I expect the injury to be worse this week compared to last week. Cincinnati is 13-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games against teams with a winning record. Kansas City is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. Joe Cool advances as we ride the public and the hot hand. | |||||||
01-29-23 | Providence v. Villanova +1.5 | 70-65 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 55 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #822 Villanova over Providence (12p.m., Sunday, January 29 FS1) The Wildcats are the more desperate team in this matchup and have played pretty well at home this season. The Friars are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games played on Sunday. | |||||||
01-28-23 | Illinois v. Wisconsin +110 | 61-51 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #658 Wisconsin over Illinois (3p.m., Saturday, January 28 FOX) Wisconsin is in freefall but Illinois at home is the spot for them to get back on track. They were completely healthy for this game and played pretty well at Illinois without Tyler Wahl earlier this month. Wisconsin must win the game in order to make the NCAA Tournament come March. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-27-23 | Bucks -8.5 v. Pacers | Top | 141-131 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Bucks are trending upward and have won four of five, including a big win over Indiana less than two weeks ago. The Bucks needed a rally as the Pacers played well in the first half. But Milwaukee ended up winning by double digits. We expect to see a more complete game from the Bucks here. They match up very well against the Pacers and have a strong history against them as they have covered in seven of the last nine meetings. Five of those games were double digit blowouts. The Pacers started off the season strong but now might not even make the play in. They have covered only two of their last 10 games. | |||||||
01-27-23 | Senators +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
We like to look to the underdog in certain spots when Canadian teams play each other since the underdog tends to up its game in these situations. Seven of the last nine meetings, including the last two, were one-goal games. Toronto is 9-17 against the puckline in home games this season. | |||||||
01-26-23 | Spurs v. Clippers -12.5 | 100-138 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
The Clippers have won three straight, including a win over these Clippers in San Antonio, and they are playing better every game as they get healthy. The last time they played here in LA they won by more than 20, and we could see that type of result here with the Spurs coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. | |||||||
01-26-23 | Red Wings v. Canadiens +143 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
We think this is great value on the Canadians. They have won three of five. Last time out they lost 4-2 to Boston but this game was tied late and there was an empty netter, so it was closer than it seems. Montreal has won 12 of 15 meetings at home, and we think they have a great chance for the win here tonight. | |||||||
01-25-23 | Hawks v. Thunder +2 | 137-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
OKC has had a couple days off and they should be well rested and ready to go here and are winners of five of their last six. This is one of the top ATS teams in the league the last couple seasons and they keep getting the job done. Atlanta is much better at home than on the road, and they are trending downward with two straight losses. OKC has covered 25 of the last 36 meetings. | |||||||
01-25-23 | Islanders +116 v. Senators | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
The Islanders have been piling up the losses lately. However, they have faced a very tough schedule littered with contender type teams. They face a step down in competition tonight, and they should be very focused on the win. They certainly have had the Senators number. They are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings, one of the most lopsided series in the NHL at the moment. Ottawa hasn’t been good either, as they have dropped six of their last eight games overall. The Islanders have been struggling but they are the much stronger team here, and they need a win badly and they should come in confident against a team that they have dominated for a long stretch now. | |||||||
01-25-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Maryland | 55-73 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #685 Wisconsin over Maryland (7p.m., Wednesday, January 25 BTN) Wisconsin already beat Maryland once this season and with a total of only 125 I expect this game to go down to the wire. The road team is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Wisconsin and Maryland. | |||||||
01-24-23 | Clippers -5 v. Lakers | 133-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Despite the Clippers struggles recently, they are the better team here, and they are almost worthy of a blind bet when playing the Lakers. They are 11-0 ATS when the Lakers are the HOME team. They are 37-17 ATS in the last 54 meetings, one of the strongest betting trends in the NBA long term. They are getting healthy and have been playing well, and the Lakers are not healthy at the moment and we expect a dominating performance. | |||||||
01-24-23 | Sharks +131 v. Red Wings | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
San Jose plays better on the road than at home for some reason and we think this is a very winnable game for them against the Struggling Red Wings. The Wings normally play down to their level of competition as they are 1-6 in their last seven against teams with a winning percentage under .400. We think this game is a coin flip as to the winner, so a coin flip at these odds is always a great bet. | |||||||
01-24-23 | LSU +13 v. Arkansas | 40-60 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. #619 LSU over Arkansas (7p.m., Tuesday, January 24 ESPN2) Just do not believe Arkansas is that strong this season to be laying double-digits against conference opponents. LSU has been on a bad streak of late but they have played a brutal schedule and Arkansas is the worst team they will have played in their last 7 games. The Razorbacks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. The underdog has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings between LSU and Arkansas. | |||||||
01-23-23 | Grizzlies -115 v. Kings | Top | 100-133 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Sacramento has won six of seven, but most of those wins came against sub par competition. They face one of the best in the west tonight, and we think the Grizzlies are quite a bit better than the Kings. The Grizzlies started this road trip with consecutive losses to the Lakers and Suns, by a combined three points. So they will really be focused on getting a win here and this team doesn’t want to drop three straight. They can do it against a team they have had a lot of success against. They have covered in all four of their recent trips to Sacramento and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall. | |||||||
01-23-23 | Islanders v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 118 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
The Islanders are in a freefall and have lost eight of their last nine. Five of those losses were by multiple goals. Things won’t get any easier tonight as they face a Toronto team that has won five of eight and is playing very well. They tangled with their biggest rival on Saturday and lost as a big favorite in Montreal despite playing a hard-fought game. They will no doubt be looking to get back on track here. Toronto has won five of seven in the series, and four of those wins have come by multiple goals. | |||||||
01-23-23 | Wisconsin +3 v. Northwestern | 63-66 | Push | 0 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #875 Wisconsin +3 over Northwestern (6:30p.m., Monday, January 23 BTN) This game was delayed until Monday due to Covid within the Northwestern program (yes that is still a thing). Just do not believe the Wildcats should be favored, as Wisconsin has dominated this series this century. Tyler Wahl should play much better in this game and the size of Wisconsin will be the difference in this game. Northwestern is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played on Mondays. Wisconsin is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games against teams with a winning home record. | |||||||
01-22-23 | Cowboys v. 49ers -3.5 | Top | 12-19 | Win | 100 | 101 h 1 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #318 San Francisco 49ers over Dallas Cowboys (6:30p.m., Sunday, January 22 FOX) The Cowboys played great last week against the Buccaneers, but I just do not believe they can follow that up with a second straight road victory. San Francisco has won 11 games in a row and have two extra days to prepare for this game. They have also covered the spread in 12 of their last 14 home games. Brock Purdy has been up to the challenge thus far and feel he will be playing with a lead most of this game. QB Prescott just had not been very consistent this season and playing his fourth straight road game will be too much to overcome. Dallas is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games played in January. San Francisco is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 divisional playoff games. | |||||||
01-22-23 | Michigan State +5 v. Indiana | 69-82 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #829 Michigan State over Indiana (12p.m., Sunday, January 22 CBS) Still believe Michigan State is the healthier team and getting points with them is too good to pass up. Michigan State got back on track last time out and look for another strong showing on Sunday. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Michigan State and Indiana. The Hoosiers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 games overall. | |||||||
01-21-23 | Avalanche v. Seattle Kraken -106 | 2-1 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Seattle has won the last two meetings between these teams and they catch the Avs on a back-to-back. Seattle had a couple bad games recently but they have been playing as well as any team in the NHL and we think they get the win here. | |||||||
01-21-23 | Giants +7.5 v. Eagles | 7-38 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #303 New York Giants over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 21 FOX) The Giants got a lot of confidence last week playing against the Vikings and look for that to carryover into this game. They also have momentum and Philadelphia has not looked the same since Jalen Hurts when down with an injury. New York has covered the spread in 14 of their last 18 games this year and our 10 of 12 ATS when they are an underdog (6 straight-up wins). This is a divisional game and I expect it to go down to the wire. We will come out on top with whoever wins this close game by taking the Giants. | |||||||
01-21-23 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +310 | 2-3 | Win | 310 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Montreal has won or covered the puckline in all of the last eight matchups. And those were all when the Canadians stunk. They raise their game to another level against their biggest rival, and we see a close game again here and the Canadians could compete for a win at home. Montreal has won two of their last three, so they are no pushover at the moment. | |||||||
01-21-23 | Cleveland State v. Wright State -3 | Top | 85-77 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #786 Wright State over Cleveland State (7p.m., Saturday, January 21 ESPN+) Just feel the Vikings playing 4 straight road games will be the difference in this game. The Raiders are the much better offensive team scoring close to 80 points per game and that will allow them to cover this field goal spread. They also have the best player floor in Trey Calvin, who has scored 49 points per game in his last two outings. Cleveland State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. Wright State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-21-23 | Celtics v. Raptors UNDER 225.5 | 106-104 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
Boston is missing Tatum for this one, so their offense will definitely take a hit. Toronto has been trending to the over, so we think we are getting an inflated number here. But four of the last five meetings have gone under the posted number, and we see a defensive battle here this afternoon. | |||||||
01-20-23 | Boise State v. New Mexico -2.5 | 79-81 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #896 New Mexico over Boise State (11p.m., Friday, January 20 FS1) We have gotten burned twice this week with teams not covering low numbers, so we will focus on the money line tonight expecting the Lobos to win. New Mexico is 12-1 at home this season and Boise State is just not the same team away from home. | |||||||
01-20-23 | Avalanche v. Canucks +150 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Vancouver has won three straight meetings, two by multiple goals. We think they are in a good bounce back spot after a rough loss to the Lightning last time out. Colorado has looked good lately but this team has been inconsistent. We think the home underdog has value tonight. | |||||||
01-20-23 | Clippers -7 v. Spurs | Top | 131-126 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
This is an opponent that the Clippers normally play well against. They are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to San Antonio and 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. LA has been playing horribly. They have been dealing with more injuries, a problem that has to this point derailed their season. But it looks like the Big 2 will be playing tonight, and this team is desperate for a win. They have lost many games lately, but they have had a tough schedule littered with playoff teams. Their last easy opponent was vs. Houston, and they won by 21. We think we could see s similar result here as if the Clippers don’t get a convincing win here then it might be time for heads to roll in LA. We think they bring their A Game tonight. | |||||||
01-19-23 | Nets -1.5 v. Suns | 112-117 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
We have seen that the Suns aren’t a great team at full strength, but with the two best guys of their Big 3 missing and some other injuries, this team has been in a free fall lately. The Nets are without Kevin Durant, and they have lost three straight. But Kyrie Irving should be back tonight, and the Nets have a much better roster taking the court tonight, and this should be a nice spot to get back on the winning track. | |||||||
01-19-23 | Panthers v. Canadiens UNDER 6.5 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
It wasn’t long ago that the Canadians allowed 20+ goals in three games. But they made some defensive adjustments and they have been playing lights out defense lately. They held the Rangers and the Jets to one goal each in their last two, both wins, and they lost to NY Rangers on the road, 2-1, before that. The Panthers are trending under as well, as only two of their last seven games have gone over, with one push for a game lined at 7. They have a lot of shots each game but aren’t very efficient. We expect a low scoring game here and the under has some nice value tonight. | |||||||
01-19-23 | Northeastern -1 v. Stony Brook | 79-66 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #741 Northeastern over Stony Brook (7p.m., Thursday, January 19) Both teams have similar overall records and similar records in the CAA. The Huskies being favored on the tells me something and I feel they are the much better team. | |||||||
01-18-23 | Lightning v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
Vancouver is one of the best over teams in the NHL at 25-14 to the over on the season. We think they will be competitive at home to get their share of the total tonight. They have scored three or more goals in six straight games, so there’s a very good chance they get at least three tonight. Tampa Bay is averaging almost five goals per game in recent contests. They should have no problems scoring against the No. 31 scoring defense. Both of these offenses are Top 10, and we see a high scoring affair tonight. These teams met last week and put up nine total goals in Tampa. The over is 19-7-1 in the last 27 meetings. | |||||||
01-18-23 | Pacers v. Thunder -3.5 | 106-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
OKC is playing excellent basketball right now. They went 3-1 on their recent four-game road trip, with wins at Philly and Brooklyn. They have home blowouts vs. Dallas and Boston in their last eight games. Indiana is going the other direction as they have lost four straight and they have covered in only one of their last five, showing they have been overvalued by the oddsmakers recently. We think that is the case again tonight. | |||||||
01-18-23 | Florida v. Texas A&M -3.5 | 52-54 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #686 Texas A&M over Florida (7p.m., Wednesday, January SECN) Florida is overvalued in this situation and we will ride the red hot Aggies tonight at Reed Arena in College Station, TX. The Aggies have won 6 straight games and five of them have been via blowout. They even won at Florida during this winning streak. The Gators are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games against teams with a winning record. The Aggies are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games being played on Wednesday. | |||||||
01-17-23 | Penn State v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 60-63 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #642 Wisconsin over Penn State (8:30p.m., Tuesday, January 17 BTN) Tyler Wahl practiced on Monday and should give the Badgers a lift after laying an egg over the weekend in Bloomington. Home court means everything in the Big 10 and Wisconsin needs this game to get back on track. Penn State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win in their previous game. Not often you see this low of a number for a true road game for Penn State and we expect a Badger victory by close to double digits. | |||||||
01-17-23 | Raptors v. Bucks UNDER 224.5 | Top | 122-130 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
This one has a strong history of the under, with 10 of the last 12 meetings going under the posted number. These are two Top 10 defenses, and the offenses are towards the bottom of the league. Both teams are coming in on a back-to-back, where the teams are a combined 8-3 to the under on the second end of a B2B. We expect a low scoring game here. | |||||||
01-17-23 | Ducks v. Flyers -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 131 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Philly is playing very well despite a 6-0 loss to Boston last time out, but we can certainly give them a mulligan for that one. But they have won seven of nine, with six of those wins coming by multiple goals. Anaheim is one of the worst teams in the league and they are horrible against the puckline, where they are normally getting plus goals, and we see a probable blowout here. | |||||||
01-16-23 | Cowboys v. Bucs +2.5 | Top | 31-14 | Loss | -105 | 148 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #152 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Dallas Cowboys (8:15p.m., Monday, January 16 ABC) Do not trust either coach in this game, but I do trust the greatest quarterback of all time. Dallas has not played well on offense of later, struggling to run the football and turning over the ball at an alarming clip. Tom Brady is 7-0 in his career against Dallas. Tampa Bay won the first meeting this season by a score of 19-3 and that was in Dallas. The Cowboys do not play well on grass and it showed last week in Washington and will show this week in Tampa. | |||||||
01-16-23 | Devils v. Sharks UNDER 6.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
San Jose’s offense has been very inconsistent and they have scored two or fewer goals in four of their last nine matchups. They scored only one last time out vs. Edmonton. What they did on defense in that game is why we like the under here. They gave up a whopping seven goals in that one in a real embarrassing home performance in front of the home fans. We feel they will do everything in their power to put forth a better defensive game here. Their offense isn’t likely to break out against the No. 3 defensive team. Four of the last five meetings have gone under, and the last meeting saw a 2-1 final, and we think we could see that type of game here on Monday. | |||||||
01-16-23 | Raptors v. Knicks -2 | Top | 123-121 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 4 m | Show |
The Knicks are coming in on a back-to-back, but they have a winning record ATS in these situations, so we aren’t really worried about that aspect too much. They barely broke a sweat in a blowout at Detroit yesterday. The Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season. They have won seven of eight and covered in six of those contests. The oddsmakers are punishing them too much here for the B2B. Toronto is 5-13 on the road this season and this will be another tough situation for them to get the win. They hosted the Knicks earlier in the month and lost by four. This one should see a larger margin of victory. | |||||||
01-16-23 | Purdue v. Michigan State +4 | 64-63 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #864 Michigan State over Purdue (2:30p.m., Monday, January 16 FOX) Michigan State has gotten healthy and I just do not believe Purdue is all that strong outside of Zach Edey. Michigan State needs this more since they are at home and I expect them to win it straight-up on Monday. The home team is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 9 meetings between Purdue and Michigan State. | |||||||
01-15-23 | Magic +10.5 v. Nuggets | 116-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
The Magic have been solid as a big underdog, with a 16-10-1 ATS record when getting five or more points. This team has cooled off since their big win streak but they have still been covering, as they enter on a two-game cover streak and they have covered in three of four overall. They catch a Nuggets team that is a little banged up now, though Jokic should return tonight. But this game is sandwiched between important conference games against the Clippers and Blazers, so if there were to be a game they would take less seriously, it would probably be this matchup against the Magic, who we think can keep this one within single digits. | |||||||
01-15-23 | Canadiens v. Rangers UNDER 6 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
These are two teams that trend heavily to the under this season, and we feel like those trends will continue here on Sunday. This one is simple. Montreal has the worst offense in the league and is coming in on a back-to-back after scoring only one against the Islanders on Saturday. They are facing one of the best defensive teams today, and we don’t see them scoring much, if at all. They have one or fewer goals in three of their last five games. These teams met 10 days ago and Montreal could only muster one goal in a 4-1 home loss. | |||||||
01-15-23 | Giants +3 v. Vikings | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 121 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #147 New York Giants over Minnesota Vikings (4:40p.m., Sunday, January 15 FOX) The Vikings metrics do not align with their 13-4 record. This team has been very fortunate in close games all season long and I look for that even out in this game. Minnesota is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games this season. Minnesota has a bad defense and look for New York to be able to move the football through the air and ground in this game. The Vikings have had only two double digit victories this season and I don’t really count the last one taking place last week against the Bears. The road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 games between New York and Minnesota. The Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss in their previous game. | |||||||
01-15-23 | Marquette v. Xavier -160 | 76-80 | Win | 100 | 1 h 36 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #828 Xavier over Marquette (12p.m., Sunday, January 15 FOX) Xavier has been one of the most surprising teams in the country this season. They are 6-0 in the conference and 9-1 at home. Look for them to improve upon those numbers today with another victory. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-14-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Indiana | 45-63 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #623 Wisconsin +5 over Indiana (1p.m., Saturday, January 14 CBS) Both teams have played games now without their key players, Tyler Wahl for Wisconsin and two starters for Indiana. Just trust Greg Gard more than Mike Woodson and feel Wisconsin should be able to take this game down to the wire. The underdog has covered in this matchup 5 of the last 6 games. | |||||||
01-13-23 | Utah State v. Nevada -1.5 | 70-85 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #886 Nevada over Utah State (11p.m., Friday, January 13 FS1) The Aggies shoot a lot of three point shots, but the Wolf Pack has the guards to defend them tonight at Lawlor Events Center. Nevada is coming off a loss at San Diego State, but they played well in the second half and cut into a major deficit. They have won all of their games after a loss this season. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings between Utah State and Nevada. The Aggies pounded the Pack last season in Reno and you can bet Nevada has not forgotten that. | |||||||
01-13-23 | Oilers v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | Top | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
These teams are a combined 52-28 to the over this season. That this total isn’t up to 7 is a head-scratcher, and there is great value here at 6.5, even with the heavy juice. We love the over even if it moves to 7. San Jose averaged more than three goals per game at home, and we think they can get that or more tonight. Edmonton comes in with the No. 5 scoring offense and No. 1 power play, and that is a big reason that they have gone over so many times. We don’t see the Sharks slowing them down, especially with Kahkonen likely in net tonight. The over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in San Jose and 18-7-3 in the last 28 meetings overall. | |||||||
01-13-23 | Nuggets v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 115-103 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
Note: there will likely be line movement in this game because of MVP favorite Jokic and his injury status. He is questionable with a wrist injury. We like the Clippers for a comfortable win whether he plays or not. We think Revenge is an overrated NBA handicapping angle. That is unless the teams played recently. And the Clippers no doubt remember that game last week in Denver where they got spanked, 122-91. The Nuggets have won six of seven, but they have been enjoying some home cooking lately. All those wins were at home, but they are just 2-4 in their last six road contests. Even though George is out tonight for the Clippers, this team is very deep with talent, but they just have not had consistent rotations. But they looked real good last time out in a double-digit home win vs. the Mavs, and wins and losses have come in bunches for this team. But they need to start stacking some wins together after the lackluster start to the season, and we expect them to bring their A Game tonight and for Kawhi to lead the way to a win and cover. | |||||||
01-12-23 | Stanford v. Washington -2 | 69-86 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #852 Washington over Stanford (11p.m., Thursday, January 12 FS1) Stanford is one of the most disappointing teams in the country and Jerod Haase will survive come March. You can pretty much just fade them blind and that is what we will do tonight in the largest city in Washington. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-12-23 | Thunder +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 133-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
Oklahoma City was one of the best ATS teams last season, and they are doing it again as they are the No. 1 betting team this season at 25-16 ATS. This is the perfect betting team as they play hard almost every night yet keep it close more often than getting the outright win. They have covered in four of their last five games, and we expect them to keep this close tonight. OKC does most of their ATS damage as a big dog as they are 18-7 ATS when getting three or more points. If this line goes up to double digits, they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in those scenarios. While teams like the Lakers and Warriors get the best shot from other teams even when they aren’t high in the standings, OKC is a team they often overlook and we don’t see the Sixers bringing their A Game tonight. OKC has covered in four of the last five meetings in Philly. | |||||||
01-12-23 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Bruins | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
Love the puckline here for the Kraken, one of the hottest teams in the NHL and one that is playing as well as any team in the league right now. They have won six straight entering this one. Those includes multiple-goal wins on the road at Toronto and Edmonton, so it’s not like this team is just beating up on a bunch of scrubs. They won’t be intimidated heading into Boston. Boston has won both lifetime meetings, but both were one-goal results and the last meeting went to OT. One of the key factors here why we like the road team is that Boston has been off since Sunday. While the rest was much needed, that is a long layoff in the middle of the season and it probably will throw their momentum off here. Boston doesn’t lose at home. But they do have close games here. The last three home games for the Bruins have all been one-goal games. We are expecting the same here on Thursday. |
