01-25-21 | Wolves v. Warriors -8 | 108-130 | Win | 100 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
Always a good thing for a struggling team when Minnesota rolls into town. The Warriors are coming off two straight losses and this looks like a good get right game for them. At 4-11 the Wolves are one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. They are coming off a rare win and rare offensive explosion last time out against the Pelicans. They scored 120 on that game, but they had failed to reach the Century Mark in four of their last five games. In today’s NBA that’s really bad. We don’t see them replicating their output from that last game tonight, and we think the Warriors can get their points and that this one can still go under in a likely blowout. | |||||||

01-25-21 | Texas Tech v. West Virginia -1.5 | 87-88 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #864 West Virginia over Texas Tech (9p.m., Monday, January 25 ESPN) I am not as high on Texas Tech as others and feel they should not be this low of number on the road. They are coming off a tough home loss to Baylor last time out and I do not believe they will be able to get up for this game tonight in Morgantown. West Virginia has only played one game since January 10th, but they got back on track Saturday with an easy win against Kansas State. Texas Tech is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. West Virginia is 25-9 ATS in their last 34 home games against teams with a winning road record. | |||||||
01-25-21 | Lakers v. Cavs +10.5 | 115-108 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
The Cavs are a .500 ballclub this season. That is impressive considering what we have seen from this team in recent years, and we think they can keep it up. They should be primed for this game with LeBron James coming back to town. They played yesterday but the starters played limited minutes in a blowout vs. Boston, and we think Cleveland was looking ahead to this game with that dismal performance. We thought the Lakers might get out to a slow start this season but they have been great. But when they play well, the oddsmakers start to overvalue them, and we think that is the case here, especially with a game vs. Philly on deck next that the Lakers will probably be taking more seriously than this one as that next game is a potential NBA Finals preview. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Knicks v. Blazers UNDER 214 | 113-116 | Loss | -112 | 27 h 41 m | Show | |
The Knicks are 12-5 to the under this season. This team can’t score a lick on offense, but their defense is playing as well as any unit in the NBA. They are dead last in scoring and No. 1 on the defensive end. That is a great recipe for an under team. The Blazers have had an extended layoff and it’s doubtful their offense will be fine tuned, especially against this D. Also, the under is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings. We think this will be a close game and unless there is OT this one should go a few points under the total. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | 24-38 | Win | 106 | 123 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #314 Kansas City Chiefs over Buffalo Bills (6:40p.m., Sunday, January 24 CBS) The Chiefs have struggled to cover spreads of late despite winning games and I just feel Any Reid will get his team back to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year. Sooner or later the Chiefs will cover a spread and I do not see them losing this game straight-up and thus expect to win and cover the spread. Kansas City has gone 6-0 straight-up against teams with a winning record. Buffalo has been playing great of late, but they are a young team and I just do not believe QB Allen is ready to lead this team to a Super Bowl at the age of 24. Kanas City is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Buffalo. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Thunder +13 v. Clippers | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 21 h 41 m | Show |
These teams played Friday and OKC was one missed free throw at the end of the game of covering. We expect them to get the cover tonight. The Clips have been playing as well as any team in the NBA. But we just don’t see them blowing out the Thunder in consecutive matchups. OKC was down big in that last game and fought hard to make it respectable. LA goes on the road after this and we think they will be distracted here and just don’t see them bringing their A Game today. We think OKC keeps this within double digits. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Bucs v. Packers -3 | Top | 31-26 | Loss | -118 | 119 h 59 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #312 Green Bay Packers over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3:05p.m., Sunday, January 24 FOX) This line has been creeping down since it opened Sunday night and I now like the Packers even more. QB Brady has played in cold weather for most of his career but he just is not playing at the same level as QB Rodgers is now. Tampa Bay benefited greatly from 4 New Orleans turnovers last week and I just do not believe Green Bay will do the same thing. The Packers have not only been winning games of late, they also have been covering the spread in those games as well. Now we get them at home (with fans) and a low number. Green Bay is 8-1 straight-up at home this year (6-3 ATS) and I see them jumping out early and winning this game by double-digits. Tampa Bay is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of January. Green Bay is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played during January. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 matchups between the Buccaneers and Packers. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Senators v. Jets -135 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. No. 42. Take Winnipeg -135 over Ottawa (Saturday at 10pm). As per your selection on Winnipeg, we just cashed a ticket with them the other night as they beat the Sens 4-1. We see a very similar result in tonight's game as Winnipeg is the better of the two teams by far and has more offensive firepower to overwhelm the Senators with. We are getting Hellebuyck in net for the Jets tonight and that instantly gives them the advantage at the backend. The Sens have lost three straight games and we don't see a trip to Winnipeg getting them in the win column. The Sens are a brutal 11-40 in their last 51 as a road underdog while the Jets are 7-0 in their last 7 as a favorite. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Warriors v. Jazz -7 | Top | 108-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
Utah is playing the best basketball in the NBA right now, and it’s not even close for second. They have won and covered in seven straight, and this team looks like it is playing with a chip on its shoulder. That chip should still be there tonight after they were embarrassed on live TV Thursday by the TNT crew. Utah always seems to have the Warriors’ number as they have covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. Golden State is better this year, but they are inconsistent, and they were spanked by the Knicks last time out so they are not in great form. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Nuggets v. Suns UNDER 216.5 | 120-112 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
These teams played last night and the Nuggets won in overtime. We see this one going the other way as it’s hard to beat a team twice in the same building in consecutive nights. The Suns have been one of the best ATS teams since the restart of last NBA season, and we think they find a way to get the job done tonight. We think both teams will be fatigued in this one and they will also make defensive adjustments, so we expect a much more low scoring game than last night. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Nuggets v. Suns +3 | 120-112 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
These teams played last night and the Nuggets won in overtime. We see this one going the other way as it’s hard to beat a team twice in the same building in consecutive nights.

01-23-21 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin -4.5 | 74-62 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #684 Wisconsin over Ohio State (4p.m., Saturday, January 23 CBS) Ohio State has been overachieving of late and their momentum will run out today in Madison. The Buckeyes are coming off a tough loss to Purdue in Columbus last time out and this will be most experienced and talented team they have faced this season. The Badgers have won two straight games (2-0 ATS) and they will likely finish in the top 2 of the conference because of their consistency and favorable schedule coming up. The favorite is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 games between Ohio State and Wisconsin. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Florida v. Georgia +4 | 92-84 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #644 Georgia over Florida (2p.m., Saturday, January 23 ESPN2) Top College Basketball Play of the Day. Florida played their best game of the season against Tennessee this week and I just do not believe they can play that well again on the road. Georgia is coming off two straight conference wins and they have righted the ship after a tough start to SEC play. Florida is still banged up and they are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games played on Saturday. Georgia is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Virginia Tech v. Syracuse -1 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #608 Syracuse over Virginia Tech (12p.m., Saturday, January 23 ACCNX) Here we have an unranked team that is favored over a ranked team and that is usually a sign for a strong play. The Orange are coming off their best performance of the season this week against Miami and look for another win today at the Carrier Dome. Virginia Tech is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Knicks v. Kings OVER 218.5 | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
The Knicks have a lousy offense and a good defense, but this Kings team is playing some pee wee ball defense, allowing 123 points a game, and even a team like the Knicks will be able to put up a decent amount of points against them. If New York comes anywhere close to the season average the Kings give up then this one will go over easily. This one should have a decent pace and we don’t see the Kings holding the Knicks offense back. This one should go over 220 easy. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Red Wings v. Blackhawks -125 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Chicago over Detroit (Friday at 8pm) As per your selection on Chicago, sooner or later they are going to have to win a game and we see this as the perfect spot. The Wings don't have any firepower upfront that will trouble the Blackhawks and maybe the Blackhawks can allow fewer than five goals for the first time this season (pathetic I know). The Wings are going to be a bottom feeder team this year despite their early 2-2 record. it's important to note that those four games came at home and this will be their first road game of the season. Give me Chicago at this price. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Hawks -6 v. Wolves | 116-98 | Win | 102 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Atlanta was hot to start the season but then came back down to Earth a bit but now they have an easier part of their schedule and they are heating up again with two straight wins. They covered in both games. One of those wins was against this same Minnesota team, one of the worst squads in the NBA this season. Revenge won’t be a factor because the teams played a game since that matchup already, and everyone is beating the Wolves these days, so they aren’t focusing on one loss. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Nets -7 v. Cavs | 113-125 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Cleveland played probably their game of the season last time out in an OT win against Brooklyn. They are probably satisfied with that result, and we just don’t see them putting in the same effort. They are not as deep as the Nets, and that will hurt them in this game after playing all the extra minutes Wednesday. Brooklyn will be very motivated here, and we think this could be a double-digit blowout. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs -143 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. No. 20. Take Toronto over Edmonton (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Leafs, they lost a low-scoring game against the Oilers two nights ago but were undone by some unlucky bounces. They played well for the majority of the game and with the rematch coming so soon, we'll take the Leafs to get the job done on home ice. Remember, we all expected a high-scoring meeting and we got a total of four goals. Look for the teams to open up a bit here tonight and for the Leafs to take advantage of some shoddy Oilers goaltending. | |||||||
01-22-21 | Michigan v. Purdue +5 | 70-53 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #844 Purdue over Michigan (7p.m., Friday, January 22 FS1) Purdue has been playing outstanding basketball of late having won 4 straight games with 3 of those wins being against likely NCAA tournament teams come March. They are now ready for some home cooking, as Purdue traditionally plays much better at home compared to on the road. Michigan currently sits atop the standing in the Big 10, but they got run over in their last road game against Minnesota, losing by 18 points. The underdog is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 meetings. Purdue is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -7 | 118-129 | Win | 101 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
These teams played last time out, and the result was a Utah blowout. The final score was not even indicative of how one-sided that game was. Normally we would go for the zig zag theory in this game since it’s hard to beat a team twice in two consecutive games. But Utah has just been so dominating lately and is quietly playing some of the best hoops in the league, and we think they will be able to cover again as the oddsmakers didn’t make a big enough adjustment to this line. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Utah v. Washington State +2.5 | 71-56 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #774 Washington State over Utah (10p.m., Thursday, January 21 PAC12N) Not sure why Utah is favored in this game considering Washington State is at home and may have the best player on the floor. Wazzou has played a brutal schedule of late and thus their 3 game losing streak is not as bad as it appears. The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 games between Utah and Washington State. The Cougars is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Lakers v. Bucks -1 | Top | 113-106 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Both teams are playing well but we think the motivation lies with the home team here. The Lakers are defending champs and they don’t have anything to prove. This is a marquee national TV game but just another matchup for them. After flaming out in the postseason last season, the Bucks have a lot to prove and they will want to show they are one of the best teams in the NBA. Plus, the bookies always shade the lines for the Lakers, and we think that is the case here as we had this line handicapped at 3.5. Milwaukee has covered in five of the last six meetings. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Jets -119 v. Senators | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. No. 01. Take Winnipeg over Ottawa (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, they are the better team. They were outplayed greatly in their last game against the Sens (on Tuesday) but still found a way to win 4-3. They will not take this team lightly and with a day to rest in between and not playing on B2B nights with travel, the Jets will be fresh and they'll be eager to come away with an easier two points. We feel as if Ottawa played their best game in that contest and still lost, so we see a bit of a flat spot for them here tonight. | |||||||
01-21-21 | Rutgers -2.5 v. Penn State | 67-75 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #735 Rutgers over Penn State (7p.m., Thursday, January 21 BTN) We will follow the line movement in this game, as Penn State opened as the favorite but now Rutgers is a slight favorite. Penn State has yet to win a conference game this season. They have been competitive at times but usually falter down the stretch and today will be no different. Rutgers has been struggling as well and needs to win this game to get back on track and solidify their NCAA Tournament bid come March. The road team is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 games between Rutgers and Penn State. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Kings v. Clippers -10 | 96-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
These teams played Friday and the Clippers scored 138 in a blowout. Sacramento is the worst defensive team in the NBA, allowing 124 points per game. The Clippers already showed they can excel over this defense, and their offense in general is humming like a well-oiled machine right now. They have scored 129 or more in three of their last four games. Just don’t see any way the Kings will slow them down tonight. We think the Clippers can pick their score tonight and they should very likely score in the area of 130 again. And the Kings should play better offensively than they did on Friday, but we think this will be another blowout as the Clippers are very focused right now and playing probably the best basketball in the league recently. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Kings v. Clippers OVER 230 | 96-115 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |

01-20-21 | Sharks v. Blues -180 | 2-1 | Loss | -180 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No. 80. Take St. Louis -180 over San Jose (Wednesday at 9:05pm) As per your selection on St. Louis, we were on them the other night when they beat the Sharks 5-4. We see a similar result happening tonight as the Blues pick up another two points. What we do see that will be different is the Blues defensive game. We figure them to have a great bounce-back game defensively as they were one of the best teams in terms of GAA last year and we see them limiting the Sharks to one or fewer goals today. The Blues are the better team and we'll lay the juice in this spot tonight. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Auburn v. Arkansas -6 | 73-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #708 Arkansas over Auburn (9p.m., Wednesday, January 20 SECN) The Razorbacks are ready for some home cooking after getting blown out on the road two straight games. Auburn is improving but they already lost at home to Arkansas earlier this season. Auburn is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning home record. Arkansas is 9-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 home games. Auburn is not eligible to play in postseason play and thus I expect them to fade down the stretch as we get closer to February. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin -11 | 52-68 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #712 Wisconsin over Northwestern (8p.m., Wednesday, January 20 BTN) The Wildcats are a sinking ship now, having lost 5 straight games and all of them have come by double digits. Wisconsin will challenge for a Big 10 Title this season and expect them to pound Northwestern in this game winning by close to 20 points. Wisconsin is ready to return have after two straight road games and expect them to jump out early in this game. The favorite is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in the last 21 meetings between the Wildcats and Badgers. Northwestern is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. | |||||||
01-20-21 | VCU v. St Bonaventure -1.5 | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #670 St Bonaventure over VCU (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 CBSSN) The Rams are always a traditional power in the Atlantic 10 and thus we get a favorable line going against them tonight. The Bonnies have won 4 straight games including the last 3 in blowout fashion. This team will challenge for the Atlantic 10 regular season championship come March and they will take care of business tonight. The favorite has covered 4 straight games in this series. The Bonnies are 11-4 ATS (1 pus) in their last 16 home games. | |||||||
01-20-21 | Rhode Island -4.5 v. Duquesne | 69-71 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #671 Rhode Island over Duquesne (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 ESPN+) The Dukes have been a sinking ship at the moment having lost 4 of their last 5 games, the last 3 coming by at least 9 points. Rhode Island has better talent than what they have showed thus far in 2021 and expect them to go on a run and move up atop the standing in the Atlantic 10. The closing stat on this game: the road team is 18-3 ATS in the last 21 meetings between the Rams and Dukes. | |||||||
01-19-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -6 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
Utah is quietly playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. They have won five straight and covered in all of those games. Four of those five were on the road. We think they are undervalued again tonight, especially under the key number of 7 for NBA betting. New Orleans has lost four of five and they didn’t cover in any of those losses. One of these teams is trying to figure things out, while one is in midseason form, and the number is more than fair here for the favorite. | |||||||
01-19-21 | Colorado State +8 v. Utah State | 64-83 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Colorado State over Utah State (9p.m., Tuesday, January 19 CBSSN) The Aggies might be in a letdown spot coming off a sweep of San Diego State last time out. That was an emotion win for this program, as the Aztecs were predicted to win the MWC regular season this season. The Rams are beaten the bad teams in the league thus far and they are coming off two blowout wins against San Jose State over the weekend. See this game going right down to the wire and we will grab the points in this game. Colorado State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win in their previous game. | |||||||
01-19-21 | Devils v. Rangers -137 | 4-3 | Loss | -137 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. No. 62. Take New York Rangers over New Jersey Devils (Tuesday at 7pm) Great 3-0 Monday on the ice as we hit for +$945. Let's continue the great run and add to our season total of +$1,175. As per your selection on the Rangers, they are the better team in this contest and they broke out in a big way in their last game against the Islanders. The Rangers won that game 5-0 and what we like even more is the fact that they outplayed the Islanders for the full 60 minutes. That's a momentum-building win and we expect them to carry that into this contest. Another thing we like is that the Rangers are going right back to Georgiev in net for this contest as he comes off the shutout. I expect another big performance from the offense and I believe first overall draft pick Alexis Lafreniere finds the back of the net in this one. The Home team is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings and the Rangers are 4-1 in the last five vs the Devils at home. | |||||||
01-19-21 | USC v. Oregon State OVER 136.5 | 56-58 | Loss | -118 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in USC @ Oregon State (7p.m., Tuesday, January 19 ESPN2) We used the over in both of Oregon State’s games last week (1 free play & 1 rated play) and will do it again on Tuesday. USC is an under team of late but expect Oregon State to be able to dictate the pace of this game in Corvallis. Oregon State has gone over the posted total in 4 straight games. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Wild v. Ducks +124 | 0-1 | Win | 124 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No.56. Take Anaheim +115 over Minnesota (Monday at 9 pm) As per your selection on Anaheim, they have a little bit to build off from their last game as they took Vegas to OT and secured a point. They played much better that game than they did in the first meeting with Vegas, so we see them coming home and performing well. As for the Wild, they beat the Kings twice including a 3-1 comeback in the second game. We see a little bit of a flat spot here for them against a team they may very well take lightly. The Ducks are 17-8 against the Wild in the last 25 meetings. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Canucks v. Flames -140 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No. 54. Take Calgary -145 over Vancouver (Monday at 9 pm) As per your selection on Calgary, we had a feeling Markstrom would come out focused wanting to beat his old club. The Flames won that contest 3-0 and we expect more of the same in this game. The Flames are the better defensive team and we just don't trust Holtby in net for Vancouver. Calgary has won 12 of the last 16 games when hosting Vancouver and are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a favorite. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Kansas +9 v. Baylor | 69-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #879 Kansas over Baylor (9p.m., Monday, January 18 ESPN2) We have used Kansas in this spot over the years and had success and will do it again on Monday. The talent may favor Baylor in this game, but Scott Drew seems to have issues winning the Big 12 and this year may be no different. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings between Kansas and Baylor. The road team is 23-8 ATS (1 push) in the last 32 meetings as well. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Sharks v. Blues -174 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. No.48. Take St.Louis -180 over San Jose (Monday at 8 pm) As per your selection on St. Louis, this will be their home opener after splitting a pair against Colorado. The Blues lost the second game 8-0 and we expect a major bounce-back performance from them here today. On paper, the Blues are a much better and more complete team than the Sharks and we see them dominating this game. The Sharks split two games in the desert against Arizona but were lucky to grab a win in the first game. The Sharks are 3-9 in their last 12 while playing on 1 days rest, 1-6 in their last 7 road games. And 1-5 in their last 6 trips to St. Louis. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Rockets -1.5 v. Bulls | 120-125 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Even with the troubles this Houston team has gone through so far this season, this is still a better team than the Bulls, and we think the Rockets have their best chance for success this season by getting rid of Harden as he was holding the team back. Of course they will miss his talent, but this is still a capable team, and we think they are underrated by the oddsmakers right now. We think this will be a close game but that Houston will pull away in the fourth quarter. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Mavs v. Raptors UNDER 220 | 93-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Dallas has gone under in four straight games. The league as a whole is trending to some lower scoring games and the bookies have been late to adjust. We think this is another total that is too high. Toronto struggled to start the season defensively, but they have been much better of late. Dallas hasn’t done much great offensively lately, and we don’t see them having a breakout game on the offensive end tonight. The under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings, and we see that trend continuing on Monday. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Suns v. Grizzlies UNDER 218.5 | Top | 104-108 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Both of these teams have been strong to the under this season, and they have a combined 15-8 record for the under. We think this total has once again been inflated. The Suns play at one of the slowest paces in the NBA with Chris Paul running the show. These are two Top 7 defenses and neither offense lights up the scoreboard on a regular basis. We will take advantage of this high total as we think this one could come in under 210. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Spurs v. Blazers +2 | 125-104 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
We think the wrong team is favored here. We had the Blazers as a slight favorite in this matchup, and we expect them to win a close one. The points are just the icing on the cake here. Both teams are dealing with some injury issues, but we think the Blazers will be fine. They are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in this series, and we think they match up well again here in this game. | |||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks -7 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
Atlanta was hot to start off the season and their hot start culminated with a win over Brooklyn on New Year’s Day. But then things went downhill, and they have lost six of their last seven. But they have had a pretty difficult schedule, and we think this is a Get Right game for them and one they should use to turn the momentum around. We think there’s a great chance for a double digit win here by the home team. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Pacers +6.5 v. Clippers | 96-129 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
The Pacers are a perfect 4-0 ATS as an underdog this season. We see them playing another competitive game tonight. We have been on the Clippers a lot this season, with mixed results. This team can look like one of the best in the league one night, like they did last time out in a blowout at Sacramento, and then the next game they can look bad (like the major blowout vs. Dallas). Indiana is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in LA, and we think this will be a very close game tonight. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Jazz +0.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 109-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
Going to ride the hot team here as the Jazz have won four straight and covered in all those games. This team has notoriously gotten off to slow starts in recent years, but this year is different and they seen very focused and determined. The Nuggets are 4-8 ATS to start the season, so this team has been a bit overrated at the beginning of the season. The Jazz are 6-2 this season away from home and have been very good in this role. We think with both teams bringing their A Game that the Jazz are the better team. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs +3 v. Saints | 30-20 | Win | 103 | 124 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #307 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over New Orleans Saints (6:40p.m., Sunday, January 17 FOX) Round 3 of Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees takes place Sunday night at the Superdome in New Orleans, LA. Just feel it is impossible to beat Tom Brady 3 times in 1 season and thus we expect Tampa Bay to not only cover the spread but win this game straight-up. The Saints did not look that impressive last week and if the Bears had a functional offense, they would have taken that game down to the wire. QB Brees still has trouble moving in the pocket and throwing the deep ball and the Buccaneers have the defense to put pressure on him for 60 minutes. New Orleans is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Penn State v. Purdue -5 | 72-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #808 Purdue over Penn State (1p.m., Sunday, January 17 BTN) Purdue is just a much better team at home and they are getting a Penn State team that has not played a game since December 30. The Nittany Lions have lost 3 straight games and I see them losing this game by double digits. Purdue has won 2 straight games, and this is the easiest teams they have played since December. Penn state is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Hawks v. Blazers -5 | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The Hawks have not lost five of their last six. They were blown out in Utah last night, and they looked tired in that loss. Just don’t know how they will rise up against another Western Conference playoff contender tonight and play a better game. They will actually play better since they can’t do much worse than last night, but this spread is more than fair and we think the rested Blazers will be able to cruise to a comfortable win. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Ravens +2.5 v. Bills | 3-17 | Loss | -106 | 102 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #303 Baltimore Ravens over Buffalo Bills (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 16 NBC) Both teams are playing well down the stretch and you could make a case for Buffalo, but the experience of the Ravens will prevail in this game. Buffalo looked shaky last week against Indianapolis at home and both times they appeared to have control of that game; they gave up a touchdown in a matter of one minute. QB Jackson got his first playoff win last week at Tennessee and I just feel the Ravens defense is playing better now. Baltimore is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road playoff games. Buffalo is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played during the month of January. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Blue Jackets v. Predators -109 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #026. Take Nashville -120 over Columbus Until I see Columbus overcome some of the off-ice issues, I will be fading them. The Jackets managed just one goal against Nashville in the opener and we see more of the same result here. Nashville is going to be an extremely difficult team to play against and at home, we believe they are the better side and will get their second win of the season. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Canadiens v. Oilers -105 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. #018. Take Edmonton -110 over Montreal (Saturday at 7pm) Great 5* winner last night with Philly as they easily took care of Pittsburgh. Let's make it B2B winners tonight! As per your selection on Edmonton to get the job done, we liked their bounce-back response in their last game, beating the Canucks 5-2. McDavid notched a hattrick while Draisitle leads the league in points already. These two are going to be a force this season and we see them being too much for a Canadiens team that isn't a speedy time by any means. The Canadians blew a 3-1 lead to the Leafs in their opener and now travel across the country for their second road game of the season. This is a tough spot for the Habs and despite probably starting Carey Price, I believe the Oilers have too much firepower upfront for the Habs to keep up with. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Arizona State v. Oregon State OVER 147 | 79-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #760 Over in Arizona State @ Oregon State (7p.m., Saturday, January 16 PAC12N) We used the Beavers over as a free play on Thursday and easily hit. Saturday we will use the over as a rated play. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games when they are the favorite. Oregon State has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-16-21 | Rockets +7.5 v. Spurs | Top | 91-103 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
We had Houston when these teams played on Thursday and the Rockets won outright. We normally would go the other way when the home team loses like this in the first game but we just think this line is out of whack. The Spurs are now 0-3 ATS this season as a favorite of three or more, and this team just isn’t good enough to be laying big points. The Rockets got rid of their team cancer in Harden that was holding them back. This team lost a lot of talent when he left town, but now they can focus on maximizing the talent they do have on the team and they are underrated a bit by the oddsmakers now. | |||||||
01-16-21 | Rams v. Packers -6.5 | Top | 18-32 | Win | 100 | 98 h 10 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #302 Green Bay Packers over Los Angeles Rams (4:35p.m., Saturday, January 16 FOX) NFL PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR We used the 49ers has our top play last year right out of the gate in the Divisional Round and will follow that formula again in 2021. The Rams are banged up and the game time temperature for this game should be around 30 degrees. The Packers are rested and QB Rodgers knows the importance of having the No. 1 seed in the NFC (only had it 1 other time in his career). Green Bay is 13-1 in their last 14 home games. QB Rodgers has a 23-2 touchdown to interception ratio at home this year. Green Bay led the league in points this year and I just do not believe Los Angeles will be able to match them score for score in this game. The Rams are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against the Packers. The favorite is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings as well. Green Bay is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-16-21 | San Diego State +4 v. Utah State | 59-64 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 13 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #625 San Diego State over Utah State (1:30p.m., Saturday, January 16 CBS) The Aztecs are too good of a program to lose to the same conference team twice in a week. Utah State jumped out early on Thursday and never looked back, but San Diego State did not shoot well for the entire game. With no homecourt advantage I see the Aztecs evening up this series and keeping their hopes alive for a conference championship come March. SDSU is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game. | |||||||
01-16-21 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Florida State | 75-82 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 43 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #603 North Carolina over Florida State (12p.m., Saturday, January 16 ESPN) Carolina has the talent edge in this game, as Florida State is just not as strong as they were compared to last year. We will grab the points in this game that we expect to go down to the wire. With Carolina it usually comes down to whether they can make shots from the arc and if they do they can win this game straight-up. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Clippers -6.5 v. Kings | 138-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
The Clippers haven’t been covering many lines lately, but we think this number is more than fair. This is a team that LA typically dominates, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. They are well rested and playing well, and we think there is a very good chance for a double-digit win here tonight. Sacramento has been horrible defensively, and a team like LA can take advantage of that. And with extra rest the Clips will have the energy to play shut down defense. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Hawks v. Jazz -6 | 92-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Going with the hot team here. Utah has won three straight, all by double digits, and that includes a road win over the Bucks. After a hot start, the Hawks have lost four of five. That includes losses to the Knicks, Cavs and back-to-back losses against Charlotte. This team is just not playing well right now, and they are in a real tough spot on the road against one of the best teams in the West. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Rutgers | 60-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #889 Wisconsin over Rutgers (9p.m., Friday, January 15 FS1) Both of these teams are desperate for a win and tonight is a must win for Wisconsin if they have visions of winning the regular season title come March. Wisconsin got blown out at Michigan on Tuesday, but Rutgers has dropped 3 straight games including the last two by double digits. Rutgers is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Friday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-15-21 | North Dakota State v. North Dakota +5.5 | 62-45 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #888 North Dakota over North Dakota State (8:30p.m., Friday, January 15 ESPN3) Both of these teams are expected to be in the top of the Summit standings come March and thus we will grab the points with the home team. The Bison are 4-0, but those wins have come against the bottom teams in the league. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between NDSU and North Dakota. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Knicks v. Cavs UNDER 197.5 | Top | 103-106 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
It’s crazy to see a total in the present-day NBA under 200. But this one is justified. These two teams have Top 4 defenses. And they are the two worst offensive teams in the NBA. This is going to be an old-school defensive battle. Cleveland hasn’t gone over the century mark in nine straight games. New York has scored under 100 in three of their last four. These teams are a combined 19-5 to the under this season. | |||||||
01-15-21 | Penguins v. Flyers -100 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia -110 over Pittsburgh (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Philadelphia, they just beat Pittsburgh 6-3 in the season-opening game, and we like them to replicate that result here today. The Flyers looked quicker, stronger, and the hungrier of the two squads and we see that being the case once again tonight. Pittsburgh's defensive struggles from last season carried over into Game 1 of this new year and with a questionable No.1 goalie in net in Jarry, it feels like they are going to be in the lower half of the league in goals-against average. The Flyers should be able to dictate this game once again and grab a second consecutive win over their in-state rivals. | |||||||
01-14-21 | Hornets v. Raptors -8 | 108-111 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Toronto has had a tough start to the season. But they have had a really difficult schedule, and we think they have bottomed out. We know this team can play a lot better, and we think we will start to see some more positive results from this squad. They lost by a point each in their last two games. They have covered two of their last three, however, and this team has shown flashes lately. They have been playing better defense for sure, and we think that will continue tonight against a Hornets team that lacks offensive punch. They scored 93 last time out in a loss to Dallas, and we think we could see another real poor offensive effort tonight. | |||||||
01-14-21 | Rockets +7 v. Spurs | Top | 109-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Just think this spread is an overreaction to a few things. First, the Rockets are in a state of disarray after the Harden trade and his comments blasting the team after losing twice to the Lakers. And those two losses to the World Champs hurt bettors confidence in this team. There hasn’t been much positive news out of this club all season. But we think this line is inflated. This is the most points the Spurs have laid all season. They are 0-2 ATS as a favorite of more than 3 points this season. This is not a good team, either. And we think the Rockets players will come out and play hard after Harden said they basically suck on his way out of town. | |||||||
01-14-21 | Stanford -1 v. Utah | 65-79 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #717 Stanford over Utah (5p.m., Thursday, January 14 ESPN2) Utah is always a tough out at home but I just believe Stanford is a much more talented team in this game. The Utes have a lame duck coach that will likely be replaced soon, and this is one of his least talented teams. They have yet to record a quality win on the season and playing the top teams in the league has taken its toll on them. The Cardinal is coming off 3 straight double digit wins and the have great size in this game and will take advantage of that in a big way. Utah is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog. Stanford is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas -2 | 79-77 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Texas over Texas Tech (9p.m., Wednesday, January 13 ESPN2) Texas has run the gauntlet this far currently sitting at 4-0 in the Big 12. They are at home and have more talent than does Texas Tech and thus I am a little surprised the number is this low. The Red Raiders have gotten back on track against two bad teams in the Big 12, Iowa State and Kansas State. Texas Tech is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Texas is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Wednesday. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Nets v. Knicks UNDER 220 | Top | 116-109 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
The Knicks are the best UNDER team in the NBA at 9-2. They are playing some of the best defense in the NBA and they have a struggling offense. That is a great recipe for UNDERS, and the total has been posted too high here once again. Brooklyn has gone over a bunch lately. Therefore, the oddsmakers had to post a high number here. But New York has been horrible offensively lately, as they haven’t scored more than 90 in three straight games. They haven’t scored more than 106 in six of their last eight games, and you would have to think they would need more than that tonight in order for this one to go over the total. It’s unlikely Brooklyn will have a big offensive night, with the Knicks D playing well and some distractions bogging down the team. If New York wants to keep this one competitive, they will need to slow the pace and count on defense for success. | |||||||
01-13-21 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -139 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. #44. Take Toronto (-135) over Montreal (Wednesday at 7:05pm). As per your selection on Toronto, we believe they are the better team and we believe it's more critical to them to get off to a winning start to the season. The Leafs finished last year with a majorly disappointing loss to Columbus in the play-in rounds. That has been stewing with the team for the entirety of the shortened offseason, and the Leafs went out and addressed some of their needs to fill out the roster. They've added some depth, some grit, and some back end help with TJ Brodie. Not to mention, the Leafs superstars and point producers are healthy to start the season and we see no reason why they can't come flying out of the gates. The Habs are still going to be a team that relies on Carey Price in net to steal them games and we don't see that plan taking them very far this season. The Leafs have pressure on them to perform well and we'll trust them to grab a season-opening win on their home ice. | |||||||
01-12-21 | Alabama v. Kentucky -2.5 | 85-65 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #638 Kentucky over Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) Do not believe it matters who Kentucky is playing, it just matters how Kentucky is playing. The Wildcats are getting back on tracking having won 3 straight games, the last one in blowout fashion against Florida. Alabama is also perfect on the season, but this will be their 3rd road game in their last 4 games. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between Kentucky and Alabama. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between Kentucky and Alabama. | |||||||
01-12-21 | Lakers v. Rockets +5 | 117-100 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
These teams played Sunday and the Lakers won in a blowout. Houston has been very inconsistent this season, but we doubt they will play so lousy in two games in a row in their home court to the world champs. If there were any game where the Rockets would bring extra effort, we think this is it. Before that Lakers loss the Rockets blew out Orlando, a pretty decent team, and we think they have the ability to keep this one competitive tonight. | |||||||
01-12-21 | Spurs v. Thunder UNDER 219 | Top | 112-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
This series has a strong history of the under with the under 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings in OKC. We think that trend will continue to flourish tonight. These are two very poor offensive teams. The Thunder rarely break out for a big offensive game. Two of their last six games saw them score 80 and 90 points. San Antonio isn’t in good offensive form right now as they put up 88 points to Minnesota in a loss last time out. We see both teams barely passing the century mark in this one, and with no OT as we expect a close game, we should be solid. | |||||||
01-12-21 | Wisconsin +4 v. Michigan | 54-77 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #615 Wisconsin over Michigan (7p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) The Badgers went into Ann Arbor and won last season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire as well. Michigan is 5-0 in the conference, but they have yet to play a team as experienced and deep as Wisconsin. The underdog is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games between Wisconsin and Michigan. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Ohio State +8.5 v. Alabama | 24-52 | Loss | -110 | 128 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #499 Ohio State Buckeyes over Alabama Crimson Tide (8:05p.m., Monday, January 11 ESPN) Would not surprise me if Alabama jumped out to an early lead in this game, but I believe Ohio State will be able to take this game down to the wire. Alabama has not faced a complete team like this all year and I just do not believe they will be able to run the Buckeyes off the field. The Crimson Tide defense has trouble when teams can spread you out and this will be a high scoring game that will remain in single digits. Ohio State played their best game of the season last time out and it would not surprise me if they follow that up with another strong performance this Monday. Alabama is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 bowl games. Ohio State is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Grizzlies v. Cavs +2.5 | 101-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
These teams played Thursday and the Cavs won outright. Now they are at home and we think they have a good chance to win again. This would normally be a revenge spot for the losing team, but both squads played a game since then, so that eliminates the revenge aspect in our eyes. Cleveland has been playing strong team basketball and are overachieving here early in the season, and this is a very winnable game for them. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Suns -6.5 v. Wizards | 107-128 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Washington could be without Beal and Westbrook tonight, and they were underachieving even with their two stars on the court. Now they face one of the best teams in the NBA since the restart earlier this year, and we like that the Suns are under the key number of 7 here at our deadline. Without their key guys the Wizards are a very inexperienced team that could fall flat tonight. | |||||||
01-11-21 | Connecticut -5 v. DePaul | 60-53 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #865 Connecticut over DePaul (6p.m., Monday, January 11 FS1) Both teams have had Covid issues this season, but UCONN is in much better shape than DePaul is. The Huskies will enter this game having won 3 straight including a 21-point victory against this same DePaul team. This game will be closer tonight, but I still see UCONN winning by close to double digits. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Connecticut and DePaul. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Indiana v. Nebraska +6.5 | 84-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #834 Nebraska over Indiana (6p.m., Sunday, January 10 BTN) The Hoosiers may come into this game flat, after they lost a double overtime game to Wisconsin this week. Now they must have a second straight road game against a team that has some talent. Nebraska has not played well this season, but this will be their weakest conference opponent they have faced this season. I just feel that they can take this game down to the wire and we will grab the points. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Bears v. Saints -10 | Top | 9-21 | Win | 100 | 101 h 36 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #150 New Orleans Saints over Chicago Bears (4:40p.m., Sunday, January 10 CBS) The Bears backed into the playoffs this season with a soft schedule down the stretch before getting pounded at home last week against the Packers. The Saints are simply better on both sides of the football and they will win this game by double-digits. New Orleans lost last year in the wildcard round and thus they will not take this game lightly. QB Trubisky has played better of late, but neither the coaching staff or fans have much confidence that he will perform well in this game. He is not the quarterback of the future and this may be the end of the road for him in Chicago as the starter. New Orleans is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 7 games against Chicago. The Saints are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Bulls v. Clippers -11.5 | Top | 127-130 | Loss | -106 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
We always like to back the Clippers after a loss. This team has a penchant for bouncing back from losses that stretches back to last season. They have covered after every loss this season, usually with a strong performance. This team has a clean injury sheet, and we think they will step up the defensive intensity here against a shorthanded Bulls team that has played six of their last seven on the road and is probably ready to get back home. This looks like a blowout to us. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Ravens -3 v. Titans | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 97 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #147 Baltimore Ravens over New Orleans Saints (1:05p.m., Sunday, January 10 ABC) The Ravens are everyone’s sleeper picks, and it would not surprise me in they make some noise in the 2021 playoffs this season. QB Jackson has yet to win a playoff game in his career and I expect him to finally get that monkey off his back on Sunday. Tennessee does not have a strong defense and they just are not particularly good in any layer on defense. The road team is 3-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 4 matchups between Baltimore and Tennessee. The Titans are 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 home playoff games. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Bucs v. Washington Football Team +8.5 | 31-23 | Win | 100 | 80 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #146 Washington Football Team over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 9 NBC) Nobody is giving Washington much of a chance in this game, but teams that host playoff games with a record of .500 or less have been well in this spot. Alex Smith is a capable NFL quarterback and expect him to bounce back in a big way on Saturday night. The strength of the football team is their defense and expect them to contain QB Brady and company for much of this game. These teams have met twice before in the playoffs and both of those games have been decided under tonight’s posted number. The underdog is 5-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 6 games between Tampa Bay and Washington. The Buccaneers are 1-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games played on Saturday. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Hawks -4 v. Hornets | Top | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
Love the Hawks in this spot after the Ball Game in New Orleans last night. Some overhyped players played a big game and this is a letdown spot for Hornets. Atlanta has been inconsistent but this ia a very solid team, and we had this line at 7, so very nice value on Saturday. | |||||||
01-09-21 | USC -1.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 73-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #751 USC over Arizona State (7p.m., Saturday, January 9 PAC12N) The Sun Devils were missing 4 players on Thursday from their overtime loss to UCLA. Not going to try and speculate who will be playing this afternoon, but I just do not believe they can bounce back in less than 48 hours against a more talented USC team. The Trojans dominated the second half against the Wildcats on Thursday in route to their 14 point victory. They have great size that should be able to take advantage of the Sun Devils inside the paint. The Sun Devils got up for their game Thursday, but the second game back after missing key players is usually a lot tougher to maintain and that will be the case tonight. This ASU team already had chemistry issues before Thursday, and 3 of their 4 losses have come by 9 points or more. USC is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Trojans are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games played on Saturday. ASU is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Colts v. Bills -6 | 24-27 | Loss | -115 | 73 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #142 Buffalo Bills over Indianapolis Colts (1:05p.m., Saturday, January 9 CBS) Just do not feel that Phillip Rivers will be able to keep up with the high scoring Bills offense in this game. Buffalo finished the season on fire, winning 6 straight games and all of them came over today’s posted number. Buffalo went 5-2 ATS this season against teams with a winning record. Indianapolis is 2-4 ATS this season against teams with a winning record. The Colts are 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 games as an underdog. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Colts and Bills. Finally, the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games in this series. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers -4 | 79-68 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #616 Rutgers over Ohio State (12p.m., Saturday, January 9 BTN) Rutgers needs a win to get back on track, as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games. But this team has more talent than does Ohio State and playing at home will put them over the top, winning by 7-9 points. These teams have actually met once this season and the final score of 80-68 is very misleading. Rutgers led by 16 points in the second half before Ohio State made a late run to pull away down the stretch. Both teams have injury issues, but Rutgers should have the same team that played at Michigan State on Tuesday. But Ohio State should be without point guard C.J. Walker. Ohio State is 8-22 ATS (1 push) in their last 31 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Rutgers is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 home games. The favorite is 5-1 in the last 6 games between the Buckeyes and the Scarlet Knights. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games between Ohio State and Rutgers. | |||||||
01-08-21 | Magic +193 v. Rockets | Top | 90-132 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
The Magic have some injury issues but this team is confident with who they have on the court right now and they are facing a Rockets team that is really struggling to start the season and is just a mess with a lot of drama and issues all through the team. We thought the moneyline on this one would be closer to -150, so there is some very nice value in what we see is a very winnable game for the road team. | |||||||
01-08-21 | Thunder v. Knicks UNDER 209.5 | 101-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
The Knicks are surprisingly playing some of the best defense in the NBA, and tonight they meet an offensively inept Thunder squad. We just see this being a very low scoring game and this one could even go under 200 tonight. The bookies are scared to post too low of totals numbers and it’s rare to see a number under 210. But this will be an old-school slugfest, and we expect this one to come in well under the posted total. | |||||||
01-08-21 | Wizards +4.5 v. Celtics | 107-116 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Looks like Russell Westbrook will be good to go after a dislocated finger and we think this will be a close game. The Wizards haven’t had much success in the W/L department, but they have been covering half of their lines, and this team is undervalued by the oddsmakers right now. This game is sandwiched between two games with Miami for Boston, so there could be a letdown here tonight. | |||||||
01-08-21 | Purdue v. Michigan State -4.5 | 55-54 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #860 Michigan State over Purdue (7p.m., Friday, January 8 FS1) We used Michigan State earlier in the week against Rutgers and easily won and will ride them again. Purdue is not as strong as Rutgers and they usually struggle to win games away from West Lafayette. The home team is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 meetings between Purdue and Michigan State. The Boilermakers are 3-10 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 games as an underdog. | |||||||
01-07-21 | Illinois v. Northwestern +7 | 81-56 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #758 Northwestern over Illinois (9p.m., Thursday, January 7 BTN) Northwestern came back down to reality after losing two straight games. But losing on the road to Iowa and Michigan is not something to be concerned about, as they sit atop the standing in Big 10 play. Now they return home to face Illinois, another top team in the conference. The Wildcats have already beaten Michigan State and Ohio State in Evanston this season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire. Northwestern is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-07-21 | Cavs +175 v. Grizzlies | 94-90 | Win | 175 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Going to take a shot on the Cavs moneyline here as we think this spread is somewhat inflated and this looks like a pretty even game to us, so we like the high moneyline here for the underdog in what looks like a very winnable game with Ja Morant out of the lineup for Memphis and both teams struggling lately. But Cleveland has been able to win more games this season, and we think they have a great chance for the road win tonight. | |||||||
01-07-21 | 76ers v. Nets +1.5 | Top | 109-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Durant is out here but we think the Nets are a solid team without him and they have a great chance for the win here against a Sixers team that is on a back-to-back tonight. The Sixers have been hot to start off the season, but this team has had a manageable schedule and on this B2B we think they will be in a bad spot and likely lose to a Nets team that is still quality without their star. | |||||||
01-07-21 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 73-80 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Thursday, January 7 FS1) The Badgers are the most experienced team in the conference, and they should be able to challenge for a championship come March. The Hoosiers are coming off two close wins against inferior teams and I feel they will drop this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 3-1 in Big 10 play and needs to keep winning games to keep pace with Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. Wisconsin is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games played on Thursday. The home team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between Indiana and Wisconsin. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Bulls v. Kings -7 | Top | 124-128 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
The Bulls are coming in on a back-to-back and they had a big win over Portland on the road where they were down big but came back to win. They expended a lot of energy in that game, and we don’t think they will have a lot left in the tank to be competitive here tonight. The Kings started off the season with a 3-1 record but have lost three straight. The last game was against the Warriors, where they were embarrassed in a blowout loss. This seems like a get right game for them against a fatigued opponent, and we think there’s a great chance for a double-digit win by the home team tonight. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Rockets v. Pacers -1.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Rockets are 2-3 ATS on the season while the Pacers are 5-2 ATS. Indiana is quietly getting the job done while the Rockets are kind of a mess right now. Sacramento is the only team Houston has beaten this season. This line just seems like a very public line and the Rockets are the Name team here, and we had this line handicapped at 5, so we think there is very nice value with the short favorite. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville -4.5 | 71-73 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #664 Louisville over Virginia Tech (6:30p.m., Wednesday, January 6 ACCN) Whenever you see an unranked team favored over a ranked team it is usually a strong angle that hits more often than not. The Cardinals have gotten healthy despite some issues in December and they are always a tough team to beat at home. Virginia Tech is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games. Louisville is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games. | |||||||
01-05-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This isn’t your father’s Spurs team. This team has been getting worse every year for the last few years, and we think this might be a bottom out season where they don’t even sniff a playoff spot. This team is really struggling right now with four straight losses. They are in tough tonight against a Clippers team that might be the most motivated in the NBA here at the start of the season. They look like the second of third best team in the NBA this season and look even better than last year’s squad that flamed out in The Bubble. We think there’s a great chance for a double digit win here. |
