01-05-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan State -1 | 45-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Michigan State over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, January 5 ESPN2) Never thought I would see day where Michigan State is just a slight favorite at home against Rutgers. The Spartans are just 1-3 in conference play, but 3 of their first 4 games have been on the road. Losing to Wisconsin at home is nothing to worry about, as the Badgers have experience and may be the best team in the conference. Rutgers has played a brutal schedule as well and that will hurt them in this game. Rutgers is still a little banged up as well. Michigan State gets a much needed win at home and we collect in the process as well. | |||||||
01-04-21 | Kings -2 v. Warriors | 106-137 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Curry is going to have to carry this team for awhile as was evidenced by their best game of the season last night as he set a career high for scoring. But on a back-to-back tonight we think he will cool off a bit and Sacramento is an underrated team They have some impressive wins to start the season, but they are coming off B2B losses vs. Houston and they will be motivated tonight. And they will be the more rested team and should coast to a comfortable win tonight. | |||||||
01-04-21 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State OVER 142 | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #874 Over in West Virginia @ Oklahoma State (9p.m., Monday, January 4 ESPN2) Both teams need this win to even up their conference record at .500 and thus we expect a high scoring game that will go over the posted total. West Virginia has gone over the posted total in 5 straight road games. Oklahoma State has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-04-21 | Cavs v. Magic -5 | Top | 83-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
Cleveland has been playing well to start the season, but they are facing a team tonight that doesn’t get a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, and this line is too low in our opinion. Orlando has an identical 4-2 record than that of the Cavs and are also 4-2 ATS. This team is a playoff contender though, and we can’t say that about Cleveland. After beating Atlanta SU last time, this looks like a letdown spot for a Cavs team that won’t be as motivated by their opponent. Orlando is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Blazers v. Warriors +5.5 | Top | 122-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
These teams played Friday, and Portland came out with a blowout victory. There are a lot of teams facing each other in consecutive games, and the team that lost the last time normally gives a better effort the next game. We think this one will be more competitive. The Blazers probably won’t come with as much intensity after the easy win, and the Warriors will probably come with much better effort and intensity. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Clippers -3.5 v. Suns | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
During the Bubble restart of last NBA season, the Clippers were great at bouncing back after a loss or bad game, and that trend has followed here into this new season as they played well in the game after that Dallas loss. Now they come in off a loss again, and they face a Suns team that has been really good since the restart and the new season. But there’s a reason LA is favored here as they are the better team and probably much better when the teams are playing their A Games, which we think LA will bring tonight after a loss where they played well but the shots just didn’t drop. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Ohio State v. Minnesota +1 | 60-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #840 Minnesota over Ohio State (5:30p.m., Sunday, January 3 BTN) Expect the Golden Gophers to bounce back at home against Ohio State today. This has been a trend in the Big 10, where teams play outstanding one game, looked terrible the next. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games between Ohio State and Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have covered 4 straight home games. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Packers -5 v. Bears | Top | 35-16 | Win | 100 | 119 h 7 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #105 Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 3 FOX) The Packers will need to win this game to clinch the No. 1 seed and earn the only bye in the NFC. Green Bay has won 8 of the last 9 games against Chicago and crushed them in the first meeting in November at Lambeau Field. The favorite is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings between Green Bay and Chicago. The Bears are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning record. QB Rodgers cements his legacy as the 2020 MVP with another outstanding performance and a double-digit Packers victory. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Jaguars v. Colts -14 | 14-28 | Push | 0 | 119 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #104 Indianapolis Colts over Jacksonville Jaguars (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Colts need to win and also need help or they will be on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoffs. Jacksonville is terrible and has already thrown in the towel on their 2020 season getting the No. 1 draft pick. This will be a 20+ point victory for the Colts and we will not hesitate to lay the points in this game. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Celtics -8.5 v. Pistons | 122-120 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Detroit. One of those losses was last time out as the Celtics had an off game and lost to Detroit in a low-scoring game. The Celtics have been one of the best ATS teams in the NBA for years, and they are easy to trust. Especially coming off a loss in a rematch against one of the lesser teams in the NBA. We think this is a great chance for a double-digit win by the road team. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Steelers v. Browns -7.5 | 22-24 | Loss | -100 | 116 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #110 Cleveland Browns over Pittsburgh Steelers (1p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Browns got a gift with Pittsburgh winning last week and now the Steelers can rest up for the playoffs and not try and win this game. The line has skyrocketed but it will not matter with Cleveland winning this game by double-digits. Pittsburgh has dominated this series, but this is not the same Cleveland doormat that they have been for the last two decades. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Steelers will show some fight early but in the end Cleveland will pull away and make the playoffs with a dominating win. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Dolphins +4.5 v. Bills | 26-56 | Loss | -106 | 116 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #123 Miami Dolphins over Buffalo Bills (1p.m., Sunday, January 3 CBS) The Dolphins have a lot more to play for in this game, as Buffalo will likely be the No. 2 seed with Pittsburgh not playing to win on Sunday. It would be a remarkable accomplishment for this Miami team to make the playoffs and they will do that with a win. Miami is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against AFC teams. Buffalo is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games played during the month of January. | |||||||
01-02-21 | North Carolina +7.5 v. Texas A&M | 27-41 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #497 North Carolina Tar Heels over Texas A&M Aggies (8p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Orange Bowl Everyone expects a letdown in this game for Texas A&M since they did not get into the College Football Playoff, and now they must face a high scoring offense in North Carolina. We will grab the points with the Tar Heels, as Mack Brown is familiar with the Aggies have played them numerous times in the Big 12 while he was the head coach at Texas. North Carolina underachieved this season, but I believe they will play a complete game tonight and take this one down to the wire. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Knicks +9.5 v. Pacers | Top | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
This is a rematch from the first game of the season, which was not long ago, so revenge could be a factor here. The Knicks are improved this season. They beat Milwaukee recently in a blowout win. They have won two of three and they held tough with Toronto last time out until the fourth quarter. This team need to be more consistent, but we think this is too many points tonight. The Knicks are playing with more confidence this season, and we think they will be a live dog when getting massive points in certain spots. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Clemson -3.5 v. Miami-FL | 66-65 | Loss | -112 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Texas v. Kansas -4 | 84-59 | Loss | -106 | 1 h 29 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Warriors | 123-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Blazers haven’t been dominant to start the season, but this team is much improved from last year. And we can’t forget this team made the West Finals two years ago. They are hungry and we think they are the much better team here in this matchup. They have had a super tough schedule do far, and this is arguably their easiest game of the season so far. The Warriors have won two straight against inferior competition. But we think this team still has a lot to work on. We think they will get better later in the season, but for right now are a team to fade while they work out their kinks. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Clippers -3 v. Jazz | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
It’s hard to justify when a team lost by so many points like they did to Dallas, but this Clippers team is playing as good of basketball as any team in the NBA. They have had one of the toughest schedules in the NBA to start off the season, but they have won their games very comfortably. They have covered all their games except of course that Dallas loss. Utah is on a back-to-back here and they didn’t play well against the Suns last night. This team has covered only one game so far, and the Jazz are notorious for their slow starts. LA is playing with a chip on their shoulders and they look to prove all the doubters wrong that criticized them after last season’s flameout. We think they take care of business again tonight. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | Top | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 75 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #334 Clemson Tigers over Ohio State Buckeyes (8p.m., Friday, January 1 ESPN) Sugar Bowl This is a rematch of the semi-final game last year in which questionable officiating allowed Clemson to emerge victorious. But in 2020 I just do not see the same Ohio State team that have been so explosive in year’s past. Clemson had a 541-263 yardage edge against Notre Dame and that game was never in doubt after the first quarter. Everyone thinks Ohio State will be motivated for revenge and the diss that Dabo Sweeny gave them by ranking them No. 11 in the coaches poll, but in the end talent wins out. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Notre Dame +20 v. Alabama | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 71 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #331 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Alabama Crimson Tide (4p.m., Friday, January 1 ESPN) Rose Bowl Nobody is giving Notre Dame a chance in this game, but I believe they will be able to score some points against this Alabama defense. The Tide have been lit up on defense a couple of times this season and Notre Dame has an offense capable of scoring 30 points against them. The Irish are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Alabama is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played during the month of January. The Tide might be up big at some point in this game, I just believe Notre Dame will keep it in the teens once 60 minutes are completed. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Knicks v. Raptors -8.5 | Top | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
The Raptors are winless on the season at 0-3. However, this is a championship contender team that has been one of the best ATS teams in the league the last couple years and this looks like a Get Right game for them. The Raptors have started off the season with games against three straight playoff contenders, and two of those games have been on the road, not in their new home base. The Knicks are a better team this year but this squad still has a long way to go, and they should face up against a very motivated Toronto team tonight. This very much has the look of a double-digit blowout game. The Knicks are 0-7 ATS in the last seven meetings away from the Garden and 2-8 ATS overall in the last 10 meetings. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -8 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Wisconsin over Minnesota (4:30p.m., Thursday, December 31 BTN) The Badgers are coming off a bad performance last time out against Maryland but expect them to bounce back today against Minnesota and win this game by double digits. Minnesota is coming off their best performance of the year dominating Michigan State from start to finish. Just do not believe they will be able to duplicate that performance on Thursday and against a team desperate to get back on track. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Wisconsin is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Thursday. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Ball State v. San Jose State -7.5 | 34-13 | Loss | -114 | 215 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #322 San Jose State Spartans over Ball State Cardinals (2p.m., Thursday, December 31 CBS) Arizona Bowl Ball State is coming off their Super Bowl two weeks ago winning the MAC Championship in surprising fashion over Buffalo. Not sure how much left in the tank they will have for this game. The Spartans are explosive on offense led by QB Nick Starkel, who has 16 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions in 7 games played this season. Ball State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. San Jose State is 12-3 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 17 games. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Bucks v. Heat +5.5 | Top | 108-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Bucks got their revenge over the Heat last night in a complete and utter blowout by almost 50 points. But now it’s time for the Heat to get some revenge from that horrible loss. The Bucks jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and were up by 30+ at halftime, and it was garbage time from there on out. But this NBA season is unique and we will see these types of back-to-backs often, and it is hard to beat a team two nights in a row, especially at their own place. The Heat have one of the NBA’s best coaches, and he should be able to make adjustments for his team to be more competitive. Milwaukee set an NBA record for made 3-pointers, and they isn’t going to happen two nights in a row. Miami is a proud team that was just in the NBA Finals, and we think they will bring their A Game here after that embarrassing result. The Bucks aren’t in midseason form right now as they just lost to the Knicks by 20. Jimmy Butler could conceivably be back here for Miami, so that would aid their chances for an outright win. The Bucks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 visits to Miami. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Mississippi State v. Georgia OVER 143 | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #676 Over in Mississippi State @ Georgia (7p.m., Wednesday, December 30 SECN) Georgia is currently 7-0 on the season but they have not played a strong schedule. I always like playing the over with Tom Crean coached teams, as they usually care more about scoring points than playing locked down defense. The Bulldogs have gone over the posted total in 19 of their last 26 games following a victory in their previous game. Georgia has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Wisconsin v. Wake Forest +6.5 | Top | 42-28 | Loss | -108 | 189 h 10 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #312 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Wisconsin Badgers (12p.m., Wednesday, December 30 ESPN) Duke Mayo Bowl We have faded Wisconsin in their last two games and easily covered both games. Wisconsin has quarterback issues, banged up wide receivers, and running backs that are not explosive. They have a solid defense, but they have yet to face an offense as up-tempo and explosive like Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are coming off a bad performance against the Cardinals, but that final score is a little misleading (Louisville scored 17 points in the last 17 minutes of that game). Wake Forest is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 bowl games. Wisconsin is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games as a favorite. If Wake Forest can take care of the football, they should be able to take this game down to the wire and win it straight-up. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Wolves v. Clippers -10 | Top | 101-124 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
We like to back a good team coming off a bad loss, and that is the case here with the Clippers tonight. They suffered one of the worst losses in franchise history last time out against the Mavs. They just didn’t come to play and it had to be embarrassing for the players. This team will come out well prepared tonight. They have had probably the toughest schedule in the league to start off the season and are at 2-1 against it, and they won’t overlook the Wolves after that effort against Dallas. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Warriors -4 v. Pistons | 116-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Both teams have had a rough start, but the Warriors are the better team and Detroit is coming in on a back-to-back. The Warriors have had a much tougher schedule to start the season. We think they will take advantage of this weaker opponent on a B2B and take care of business tonight with a comfortable win. Only one of these teams is a legit playoff contender, and that’s not the Pistons. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Purdue v. Rutgers -3 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Rutgers over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, December 29 FS1) Just do not feel Purdue is the same team when playing on the road. Purdue has done most of their damage at home this season and they have yet to win a true road game this season (lost to Miami and Iowa). Rutgers is coming off their first loss of the season to Ohio State, and that final score of 80-68 did not reflect how competitive that game was. Rutgers has come injury issues but I believe they will bounce back playing at the RAC tonight. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 games as an underdog. Rutgers is 13-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 20 home games. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Oklahoma State v. Miami-FL +2.5 | 37-34 | Loss | -109 | 171 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #296 Miami Hurricanes over Oklahoma State Cowboys (5:30p.m., Tuesday, December 29 ESPN) Cheez-it Bowl The Hurricanes have lost 3 straight bowl games and I feel it is important for Many Diaz to right the ship in this game. Miami has the advantage of playing in-state for this game and there will be fans in attendance. I am a big fan of D’Eriq King and expect him to bounce back in a big way tonight after a bad performance against UNC last time out. Oklahoma State beat Iowa State but that was their only quality win on the season and I just think Miami has a big edge at the quarterback position. The Pokes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Miami is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Blazers +4 v. Lakers | Top | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
One of the best bets and the strongest trends in the NBA since we began handicapping almost 20 years ago is the Blazers ATS against the Lakers. They have covered 21 of the last 19 meetings in LA, and no matter the strength of the teams, they always bring their A Game when playing the Lakers. The Lakers are on a B2B, Anthony Davis is banged up, and this team is always overrated by the oddsmakers. We think the Blazers can win this one outright. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Northern Arizona v. Gonzaga OVER 156 | 58-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #840 Over in Northern Arizona @ Gonzaga (9p.m., Monday, December 28) Huge line in this game and one would assume if Gonzaga is going to blow them out, they will come close to 100 points in this game. That would set up a strong angle for the over to hit. Gonzaga has a ton of angles favoring the over hitting like they have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 26 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-28-20 | Michigan State -2.5 v. Minnesota | 56-81 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #837 Michigan State over Minnesota (8p.m., Monday, December 28 BTN) These are the type of games Michigan State always seems to win over the coaching tenure of Tom Izzo. The Spartans have yet to win a conference game this year and this is an important game for them. Minnesota is coming off a miraculous win over Iowa and I believe they will come back down from that reality tonight. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Michigan State and Minnesota. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Grizzlies v. Nets -5 | 116-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Nets are coming in on a back-to-back and are being punished too much for the fact by the oddsmakers. They lost to Charlotte last night, and we think this could be the best team in the NBA and they aren’t going to lose many games this season, so we think they will bounce back nicely here. This is early in the season, so B2B’s don’t really matter that much, and we expect Brooklyn to bring some nice energy in a potential double-digit win. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Pistons +10 v. Hawks | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
2-0 team against an 0-2 team, but this line is simply too big. Detroit will come to play tonight to give themselves the best chance to avoid going 0-3. This isn’t a good team. But we are not convinced that the Hawks are good, either, as they have beat up on two mediocre teams to start the season. We had this line handicapped at 7.5, so we think there is some nice value here as we expect the Pistons to put up a fight and keep this one within double digits. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Maryland +9.5 v. Wisconsin | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #831 Maryland over Wisconsin (7p.m., Monday, December 28 FS1) Wisconsin is coming off an emotional win Thursday and Michigan State and it would not surprise me if a letdown occurred in this spot. They will win this game but if they are not shooting a high percentage from the arc, I do not see a double-digit blowout. Maryland is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games played on Monday. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Suns -3 v. Kings | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Another situation where these teams played the night before. And we think the better team (Suns), who lost last night, will play better and get the win. It’s telling that the odds have not changed much even though Sacramento won last night. It’s hard to beat a team twice in two nights, especially when that losing team is the better squad. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Titans v. Packers -3 | Top | 14-40 | Win | 100 | 125 h 24 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #480 Green Bay Packers over Tennessee Titans (8:20p.m., Sunday, December 27 NBC) Green Bay has the No. 1 seed in sight if they win this game tonight and I see no reason not to lay this small number with the best team in the NFC. QB Tannehill has played outstanding this season but he is not in the same league as Aaron Rogers, the likely MVP of the league. Green Bay has been jumping out early on teams of late and I see them doing the same as well in this game. They will need to stop the run-on defense, but their defense last been playing better of late as well. The Titans are 3-13 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 games played during Week 16 of the regular season. Green Bay is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. The Packers win this game by 7-10 points and lay claim to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Magic v. Wizards +1.5 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
We are going to see some strange scheduling stuff in the NBA this season, and here we are. These teams played here yesterday. The Magic won, but we just don’t see that happening twice in a row on the Wizards home court. Washington is a team we are high on to start the season, and we don’t see them playing two bad games consecutively against the same team. And now we are getting points instead od laying them. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Rams v. Seahawks | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 121 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #476 Seattle Seahawks over Los Angeles Rams (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 27 FOX) This is an important game in the NFC West with the winner likely winning the NFC East and hosting a playoff game. Everyone expects to the Rams to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to the Jets last Sunday, but I just do not see them going into Seattle and winning this game. The Hawks have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 home games. Seattle is also 9-4 ATS against Los Angeles in the last 13 games against them in Seattle. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Panthers v. Washington Football Team -2.5 | 20-13 | Loss | -110 | 121 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Washington Football Team over Carolina Panthers (4:05p.m., Sunday, December 27 CBS) Carolina is just playing out the season and will enter this game having lost 3 straight games and 8 of their last 9 games. They are competitive in some of those losses, but they are still losses and that eventually takes its toll on a team. Washington has so much on the line in this game and with Alex Smith expected to be back I think they have enough to win it. Washington has beaten Carolina each of the last two seasons. The Football Team is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. The Panthers are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with a losing record. Finally, Coach Ron Rivera wants to win this game in a big way since he was fired by the Panthers last year. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Mavs +5.5 v. Clippers | 124-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
Morris is out. Kawhi has to be hurting after getting crushed in the head Christmas night by his own teammate, and he was laying in a bloody mess on the court. He had some stiches and will probably go here, but he can’t be feeling great. But mainly this is a revenge scenario from the playoffs. Dallas played a real lousy game last time out in a blowout loss to the Lakers, but and adding to the revenge against the Clips we think they come out and play with more motivation today. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Colts v. Steelers | 24-28 | Loss | -125 | 118 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #465 Indianapolis Colts over Pittsburgh Steelers (1p.m., Sunday, December 27 CBS) Pittsburgh is in freefall now and not much analysis is needed to describe why we are picking against them. They have lost 3 straight games including 2 against inferior opponents in Washington and Cincinnati. They are banged up on defense and have not been able to run the football whatsoever. The Colts need this game more and want to end their 6 games losing streak to the Steelers. Indianapolis is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite. Pittsburgh is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games played during the month of December. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Rockets v. Blazers -7.5 | 126-128 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Houston is missing six players for this game and traveled with nine for this matchup, one more than the minimum number under Covid protocols. James Harden will play, but he is probably the most unhappy player in the NBA right now with trade demands and this team is just filled with drama and distractions right now. All that is built into this inflated line. But we think the Blazers are much improved this season. And they are coming off a really embarrassing loss to Utah, so they will be focused here tonight in a game they can easily win by double digits. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Raptors -2 v. Spurs | 114-119 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Both teams had unexpected results in their first game. The Spurs aren’t a playoff team, in our eyes. Toronto is a championship contender. We had this line handicapped at Raps -5, so we think there is nice value here. After a blowout loss in their first game, a team with the pedigree of Toronto will no doubt come to play here as they don’t want to open the season 0-2. This is a long season, but no team with championship aspirations wants a poor start like that. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Dolphins v. Raiders +3 | 26-25 | Win | 100 | 101 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #462 Las Vegas Raiders over Miami Dolphins (8:15p.m., Saturday, December 26 NFLN) Just do not trust the Dolphins as a favorite on the road. They are coming off a big win over New England last Sunday and it will not surprise me if they have a letdown in this game. The Raiders have extra rest and I do not see much of a drop-off with Mariota as quarterback. Miami is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games during Week 16 of the regular season. Las Vegas is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games played during Week 16 of the NFL season. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Magic v. Wizards -2 | Top | 130-120 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
We went big on the Wizards in their first game at Philly and they lost but covered. The game was a lot closer than the final score indicated, and Washington led much of the way. We think this team is underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, so that result was great for us to keep the value on this team. Westbrook is the perfect fit here, and this team has underrated young talent. We think they are motivated for a strong start to the season, and we think they bring their A Game tonight. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Ohio State v. Northwestern +145 | 70-71 | Win | 145 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #766 Northwestern over Ohio State (11.a.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) The Buckeyes have been playing a brutal schedule of late and this will be their 3rd road games in their last 4 that has taken place away from Columbus. Northwestern is much improved this season and they have a chance to start the season 3-0 in Big 10 play. Getting points with the home team in this conference is always too good to pass up. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 road games. Northwestern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Kentucky v. Louisville -4 | 59-62 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #762 Louisville over Kentucky (1p.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) No bet against Kentucky is a bad beat this season. Louisville has gotten healthier and they always get up for playing Kentucky in this game. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Clippers -2 v. Nuggets | 121-108 | Win | 100 | 29 h 55 m | Show | |
The Clippers sure came out Game 1 of the season and looked like they had a chip on their shoulder. We think that will continue here against the team that knocked them out of the postseason. The Clippers can come up with any excuse they want, but we just don’t think the Bubble was the right place for them mentally last season. While the depth for this team suffered in the offseason, they are still one of the best teams in the NBA and better than the Nuggets despite last season’s series result. This game just seems more important for the Clippers and we think they come to play tonight. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Mavs +6.5 v. Lakers | Top | 115-138 | Loss | -114 | 26 h 26 m | Show |
LeBron is hobbled but said he would likely play here. With or without him, we like the Mavs here to keep this one close with a chance for the outright win. As if they wouldn’t take this game seriously anyways against the defending champs, they lost their first game so they don’t want to fall to 0-2. We don’t think that prospect is as important to the Lakers, one of the teams that didn’t want the new NBA season to start in December. This team probably won’t be the No. 1 seed this season and they probably don’t need it. We don’t see them getting real serious for about 6-8 weeks. They are normally overvalued by the oddsmakers anyways, but we see them as a team to fade for sure until we see them consistently kicking it up into the midseason gear. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Nets -2.5 v. Celtics | 123-95 | Win | 100 | 23 h 26 m | Show | |
Brooklyn looked like the NBA’s best team on Opening Night and we expect big things from them this season. They seem to want to get off to a fast start. And we think they will bring their A Game tonight against a Celtics team that will miss Kemba Walker. Boston is still plenty good with the team they will bring to the court, and they showed that against the Bucks. We just don’t see them winning two straight against two better EC teams, and the Nets should be very motivated for a big game here. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Warriors v. Bucks UNDER 232 | 99-138 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 1 m | Show | |
We think this total is too high. The Warriors not only don’t look in synch offensively, but they don’t seem to have the players right now to light up the scoreboard in the way we are used to. We think this team will eventually be fine and we have then penciled into the postseason as a high seed, but we think it will be a process and we just don’t see them being that competitive here, especially with the Bucks losing last time out. We don’t see GSW having a breakout on offense here. The Bucks will get their points and the Warriors should play better offensively than Game 1, but we had this one handicapped at mid-220s so we think there’s some decent value here. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Marshall v. Buffalo -3 | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 72 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #280 Buffalo Bulls over Marshall Thundering Herd (2:30p.m., Friday, December 25 ESPN) Camellia Bowl Buffalo is coming off their worst performance on the season, losing to Ball State in the MAC. Marshall has a suspect offense and that will put a lot of pressure on them to be able to stop Jaret Patterson in this game. Marshall will enter having lost 2 straight games by an average of 14.5 points. Marshall is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. Buffalo is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State +2 | 85-76 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #752 Michigan State over Wisconsin (12:30p.m., Friday, December 25 FOX) Not sure why Wisconsin is favored in this game. The Badgers lost their only road game of the season to Marquette and they have not won at Michigan State since 2004. Wisconsin has not left the state thus far into the season and this is a game where they will not be the more talented team. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between Wisconsin and Michigan State. The Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing road record. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Jazz v. Blazers -1 | 120-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The Jazz are another team that starts slow almost every season. We don’t see why that won’t be the case again. Portland is a little under the radar this season. They made some nice offseason moves and are relatively healthy to enter the season. Remember, this is a team that reached the WCF two years ago, and they have one of their better teams in years this season. We had this line at Blazers -4, so we think there is some good value here. Utah is hard to trust early in the season until they show otherwise. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Bucks -4 v. Celtics | 121-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Celtics open the season not in a great place after a disappointing season and now they lost Hayward in the offseason and Kemba Walker is injured. The Bucks flamed out in the postseason also, but they had an excuse with some off the court issues causing a big distraction. We think they are still one of the NBA title favorites and we think they will want to start off the season with a big win over a rival. They got better in the offseason and we just don’t see how the Celtics can match up tonight against what should be a very motivated Bucks team. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Wizards +7.5 v. 76ers | Top | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
The Wizards are under the radar coming into this season. We think they are going to be pretty good and a solid ATS team to start the season. Russell Westbrook is a great addition to this team and he pairs with Beal extremely well. This team has some nice young talent, and Westbrook’s presence will help them develop and he will take a lot of pressure off Beal, who had a great season last year and should be even better with the pressure off him to carry the team this year. This team will be putting up some crazy numbers on offense and should be able to win a lot of shootouts. Watch out if they can play any defense. Philly got off to a slow start last season and we think that could be the case this season with a new coach and still a strange mix of players that has never figured the formula for success to match their talent. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers v. Lakers UNDER 220.5 | 116-109 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Everyone is down on the Clippers. They did lose some depth but this team didn’t lose enough to warrant such a drop on confidence from the masses. This squad didn’t get to play together much during the season because of injuries and that lack of cohesion showed in the postseason, and the strange atmosphere of the Bubble didn’t help matters. In our minds the Clips are still the clear No. 2 squad in the west and a legit contender. The Lakers just finished their title run what seemed like yesterday and they will probably take some time to get into championship form. We expect a sluggish start from the champs this season. The Clippers seem to have more to prove here and more motivation tonight. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers +3.5 v. Lakers | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |

12-22-20 | West Virginia v. Kansas -1.5 | 65-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #678 Kansas over West Virginia (9p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ESPN2) The Jayhawks are the king of the Big 12 and anytime you get this number with them in Lawrence it must be considered as a play. Kansas has the bodies to matchup inside with West Virginia and I do not expect a big foul discrepancy tonight as well. The home team is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings between West Virginia and Kansas. West Virginia is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. | |||||||
12-22-20 | North Carolina +1 v. NC State | 76-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #673 North Carolina over North Carolina State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ACCN) North Carolina is winning games despite not being able to shoot it well from the arc. If they ever start making shots from the 3 point line they could reach the final four. NC State lost their only game this year against a decent opponent and they have just feasted on cupcakes thus far in 2020-2021. The road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between UNC and NC State. The Wolfpack are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-21-20 | Arkansas-Little Rock v. Missouri State +1 | 77-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #782 Missouri State over Arkansas Little Rock (5p.m., Monday, December 21 ESPN3) The Bears have not been able to play many games in 2020, but playing at home tonight should allow them to emerge victorious. Little Rock is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Missouri State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-20-20 | Chiefs -2.5 v. Saints | 32-29 | Win | 100 | 119 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #365 Kansas City Chiefs over New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 19 CBS) The Saints are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia last week and now will likely not earn the top seed in the NFC (only 1 team gets a bye this year). The Chiefs have been winning games but not covering the spread of late, but now they have a low number where they likely just need to win the game. QB Brees have been eyeing this date to return but I do not think it will matter. Kansas City is an offensive machine and New Orleans will have to score in the high twenties to have a chance to cover this spread. Kansas City is 11-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 road games against teams with a winning home record. New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Texas | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #707 Oklahoma State +6.5 over Texas (2p.m., Sunday, December 20 LHN) We lost an 8-unit play with Texas in this game last year and hope to learn from our mistake today. Oklahoma State has talent, and it is just around to predict what you will get from Texas on a game in, game out basis. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups between Oklahoma State and Texas. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Texans v. Colts -7 | 20-27 | Push | 0 | 115 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #342 Indianapolis Colts over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, December 20 CBS) This is the second meetings in three weeks for the Texans and Colts. Houston is just playing out the string and I see them losing this game by many more points than the first game. Indianapolis got right last week in Las Vegas and expect them to continue their success. They have the ability to beat teams running the ball or throw the air and I just do not have any confidence in this Texans defense. QB Watson did not throw a touchdown pass in the first meeting (only time this season that happened). Houston is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Indianapolis is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games divisional teams. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Patriots v. Dolphins -1 | 12-22 | Win | 100 | 115 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #354 Miami Dolphins over New England Patriots (1p.m., Sunday, December 20 CBS) This is a bad situation for the Patriots, as they have fallen out of playoff contention in the AFC and will be playing their third straight road games. Teams have figured out the Patriots, and you can beat them by not turning over the football and making Cam Newton beat you through the air. Miami has covered the spread in 6 of the last 8 games against New England in Miami. This is by far the worst Patriots squad they will have faced during the last 8 years. Miami put the final nail in the coffin for New England and wins this game convincingly. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Alabama -17 v. Florida | 52-46 | Loss | -109 | 98 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #240 Alabama Crimson Tide over Florida Gators (8p.m., Saturday, December 19 CBS) Just do not believe Florida has any desire to play in this game against a team that is much better than them. By losing to LSU last week, Florida cannot make the college football playoff. Alabama has won this game the last 6 times they have been in it by an average of 18 points per game. The Crimson Tide have been getting better on defense and expect them to contain the high-powered Florida offense. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games between Alabama and Florida. The Crimson Tide are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played. Florida is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Cincinnati -1.5 v. Georgia | 68-83 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #679 Cincinnati -2 over Georgia (8p.m., Saturday, December 19 SECN) The Bulldogs have not played anyone this season, and this will be their toughest slate of the conference season. Georgia is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Saturday. The Bearcats being favored on this true road games tells me they are the better team. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Arizona v. Stanford -2 | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #682 Stanford -2.5 over Arizona (7p.m., Saturday, December 19 PAC12N) Would go higher if this were a true home game for Saturday, but instead they are playing this game in Santa Cruz. Arizona opened as the favorite, but the oddsmakers were not having it and now Stanford is favored. The Cardinal have more talent than do the Wildcats, and that might be the first time in over a decade that this has been the case. Arizona is 2-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games as an underdog. Stanford is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 Saturday games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Bills v. Broncos UNDER 50 | Top | 48-19 | Loss | -108 | 95 h 39 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take Under in Buffalo Bills @ Denver Broncos (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 19 NFLN) The Bills will be making their second trip west in three weeks and it would not surprise me if they come out a little flat after such an emotional win on Sunday Night Football. The Bills have gone under the total in 4 of their last 5 games against AFC teams. The Broncos have gone under the posted total in 23 of their last 33 games against AFC teams (1 push). | |||||||
12-19-20 | Clemson v. Notre Dame +10.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -109 | 94 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #236 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Clemson Tigers (4p.m., Saturday, December 19 ABC) For the first time in years, Notre Dame has the athletes to make this game competitive against the top teams from the south. The Irish already beat the Tigers this year and I just do not believe this will be a blowout with Trevor Lawrence back behind center. Notre Dame can win the ACC for the first and likely only time in their history and they will not pass up this opportunity. The Clemson defense is still the same as it was in the first meeting where Notre Dame put up 47 points in that game. Both teams will put up points in this game, but I see the result being in single digits. The Irish are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Minnesota +12.5 v. Wisconsin | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #211 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Wisconsin Badgers (4p.m., Saturday, December 19 BTN) Wisconsin has a terrible offense and should not be giving this many points against anyone in the Big 10. They have a quarterback that lacks confidence, and they are playing a team that has won 3 of their last 4 games. Wisconsin may get some playmakers back for this game, but I just cannot overlook the fact that they have scored 20 combined points in their last 3 days. | |||||||
12-19-20 | North Carolina -2.5 v. Kentucky | 75-63 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3 over Kentucky (2p.m., Saturday, December 19 CBS) If North Carolina can have any success in this game from the arc, they will win this game by double digits. Kentucky is a mess at the moment and will likely not make the NCAA Tournament come March. North Carolina is 5-2 ATS (1 push) int their last 8 games as a favorite. The favorite in this matchup has covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 matchups (1 push). | |||||||
12-19-20 | Louisville v. Wisconsin -6 | 48-85 | Win | 100 | 1 h 47 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin -6.5 over Louisville (12p.m., Saturday, December 19 ESPN2) This is a late add game after Louisville could not play this game during the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The Cardinals have been off since 12/1 and they have just played home game. They lost a ton of talent from last year and Wisconsin has everyone back. The Badgers are 7-0 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Weber State v. Portland State OVER 146 | 94-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 Over in Weber State @ Portland State (10:05p.m., Friday, December 18) The Vikings have been an over team of late and expect that to continue on Friday night with Big Sky playing getting underway. The Vikings have gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 10 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Oregon v. USC -3 | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -106 | 74 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #252 USC Trojans over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Friday, December 18 FOX) Oregon was a late add to this game after Washington did not have enough healthy players. The Trojans have a major edge getting to play this game at their home stadium and I just do not trust Oregon enough to keep this close. Both teams have played down to the level of their competition, but USC tends to pull away late, whereas Oregon often loses close games. Losing to Cal and Oregon State is embarrassing for the Ducks and now they must face a team with better talent and experience than what they have. Oregon is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. USC is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between Oregon and USC. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Chicago State +18 v. Northern Illinois | 54-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #833 Chicago State over Northern Illinois (7p.m., Friday, December 18) Both these teams are terrible, and the total is just in the mid-130s and thus we will grab the points and Cougars are hang on to only lose by 17 points or less. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Tennessee Tech v. Tennessee -28.5 | 49-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #838 Tennessee over Tennessee Tech (7p.m., Friday, December 18 SEC+) This will be a blowout, name your score type of game for the Volunteers. The Golden Eagles are 0-7 on the season and this is a buy game where they will collect a check and get blown out by 30+ points. Tennessee has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Richmond OVER 140 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #856 Over in Richmond @ Loyola (6p.m., Friday, December 18 ESPN+) Both teams trends all favor the over and now we have value with the total dropping 4 points from the overnight line. Richmond has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 11 games. Loyola has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-17-20 | Kansas v. Texas Tech -3 | 58-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #365 Kansas City Chiefs over New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 19 CBS) The Saints are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia last week and now will likely not earn the top seed in the NFC (only 1 team gets a bye this year). The Chiefs have been winning games but not covering the spread of late, but now they have a low number where they likely just need to win the game. QB Brees have been eyeing this date to return, but I do not think it will matter. Kansas City is an offensive machine, and New Orleans will have to score in the high twenties to have a chance to cover this spread.

12-16-20 | Memphis v. Tulane +10 | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #674 Tulane over Memphis (9p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ESPN2) Memphis is overrated again this season and the Penny Hardaway experiment does not seem to be an improvement over Tubby Smith. Tulane has not played anyone this year, but they are 4-0 and I believe they can keep this game in single digits. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Tulane is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-16-20 | Ohio State v. Purdue -4.5 | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #670 Purdue over Ohio State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 16 BTN) On paper this line is begging you to take Ohio State, but an unranked favorite over a ranked team is always a recipe for success in college basketball gambling. Throw in the fact that Ohio State will be without E.J. Liddell and Seth Towns and expect Purdue to win this game by double digits. The Boilers are just a different team at home and tonight will be no different. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Purdue is 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games played on Wednesday. | |||||||
12-16-20 | Pittsburgh -2 v. Miami-FL | 70-55 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #663 Pittsburgh over Miami (6p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ACCN) The Hurricanes are banged up with a ton of injuries and they cannot shoot the ball at all from the arc. They are 4 for 36 from the three-point line over their last two games. The Panthers have a nice win at Northwestern and will win this game as well. The Hurricanes are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games played on Wednesday. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Furman v. Alabama OVER 154 | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Over in Furman @ Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, December 15 SECN) The Paladins have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games as a road underdog. The Crimson Tide have gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 16 home games. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Florida A&M +13 v. Austin Peay | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #307073 Florida A&M over Austin Peary (8:30p.m., Tuesday, December 15) The Rattlers are 0-4 on the season but they have a bunch of ATS trends that work in their favor tonight. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. Austin Peay has not covered the spread much of late going 3-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 63-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Loyola (8p.m., Tuesday, December 15 BTN) The Ramblers have not played anyone this season, and this is a late add game after the original games got cancelled. The Ramblers have nowhere near the talent they had when they reached the final four a couple of years ago. Wisconsin has experience and they will pull at some point in this game and win it by double-digits. Loyola is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Western Michigan -2.5 | 71-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #772 Western Michigan -3 over Milwaukee (2p.m., Sunday, December 13) We went against Broncos on Saturday but will take them on Sunday playing a worse Horizon League team. Milwaukee has played just one game in 2020-2021 and that was a loss to Kansas State, a terrible team that lost to a division two team earlier this season. Western Michigan played Detroit even for 35 minutes until falling apart down the stretch. Expect them to control this game from the start and earn a 7-9 point victory. The Panthers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played on Sunday. WMU is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-13-20 | Cardinals v. Giants +2.5 | Top | 26-7 | Loss | -100 | 116 h 47 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #158 New York Giants over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, December 13 CBS) Just believe these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Arizona is a fluke play away from losing 5 straight games and they may need to win 3 of their last 4 to make the playoffs. The Giants have won 4 straight and have control of the NFC East since they own the tiebreaker with Washington. They are coming off their best performance of the year beating Seattle in the Emerald City last time out. It goes not matter who the Giants start at quarterback, they are going to win this game. Arizona has been easy to run on of late and Wayne Gallman should put up big numbers. Arizona is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. The Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Virginia +2 v. Virginia Tech | 15-33 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #421 Virginia Cavaliers over Virginia Tech Hokies (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCN) Virginia beat Virginia Tech last season for the first time in 16 years and look for them to make it 2 in a row on Saturday night. Both teams play a lot of people at quarterback, but the Hokies are coming off a blood bath against Clemson last week and I do not feel they will be ready to bounce back in just one week. Virginia Tech enters this game having lost 4 straight games and they have been blown out in their last two (lost 47-14 to Pittsburgh). Justin Fuente is on the hot seat and he may not survive if things do not go well on Saturday. Virginia will enter this game having won 4 straight games. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Alabama -1.5 v. Clemson | 56-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Alabama over Clemson (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCNX) Coach Oats put a bullseye on his head and it will be interesting to see if he can back it up. Clemson is coming off their best performance of the year, dominating Maryland from start to finish but this will be the most talented team that they will face thus far in 2020. Alabama has bounced back from a loss to Stanford with two blowout victories and tonight will be no different as well. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +1.5 | 7-28 | Win | 100 | 94 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #386 Iowa Hawkeyes over Wisconsin Badgers (3:30p.m., Saturday, December 12 FS1) The Badgers lack confidence on the offensive side of the football, and they have been exposed for their lack of playmakers. Iowa has a chance to end this 4-game losing streak to Wisconsin by getting them at home this season. Iowa has won 5 straight games and only one of those wins came by less than double-digits. They have a better defense than does Indiana and expect them to crowd the line and force Wisconsin to beat them over the top with deep throws. Wisconsin is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Iowa is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Syracuse -2.5 v. Boston College | 101-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #665 Syracuse over Boston College (1p.m., Saturday, December 12 ESPNU) The Orange need to start winning as once again their schedule is light on quality wins as conference play gets underway. They get Buddy Boeheim back for this game and that gives them a shooter that will be able to space out the floor. Boston College played well against Minnesota this week and lost in overtime but I believe that will take a lot out of them for this game. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Wake Forest +2.5 v. Louisville | 21-45 | Loss | -110 | 91 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #113 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Louisville Cardinals (12p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCN) Just do not like this Louisville team in 2020. They appear to have taken a step back in year two under Scott Satterfield. They are 3-7 this season and do not have any quality wins among those three. Wake Forest does not have a bad loss this season and they also have some quality wins against Virginia Tech and Virginia. Both of those teams are better than what they will see today from Louisville. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Wake Forest and Louisville. But this game just comes down to Wake Forest having an identity on offense (up-tempo) and Louisville will not be able to keep up in scoring. The Demon Deacons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the Cardinals. | |||||||
12-11-20 | Nevada +2.5 v. San Jose State | 20-30 | Loss | -105 | 77 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #309 Nevada Wolf Pack over San Jose State Spartans (10p.m., Friday, December 11 CBSSN) Just cannot picture San Jose State playing in the MWC Championship Game next week. They have a much-improved team in 2020 but I feel having to vacate the Bay Area will finally catch up with them in this likely winner take all game. The Spartans were expected to host their last two games, but they had to travel to Hawaii last week and now will play this game at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Nevada has already played a game here in 2020 and they only had to leave the state of Nevada one time this season. Nevada is 15-2 straight-up and 12-5 ATS against San Jose State in the last 17 meetings. Both teams have stud quarterbacks, but the difference could lie with Nevada’s defense. | |||||||
12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA -4 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #638 UCLA -4.5 over Marquette (9:30p.m., Friday, December 11 PAC12N) UCLA has bounced back after losing to San Diego State in their opener to win 4 straight games, all of them by at least 9 points. They face a Marquette team that will be playing their first true road game of the season and this is a very young team. UCLA is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-10-20 | Patriots +4.5 v. Rams | 3-24 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #101 New England Patriots over Los Angeles Rams (8:20p.m., Thursday, December 10 Amazon Prime) Look for the Patriots to play a competitive game in Los Angeles after pounding the Chargers on Sunday. The Patriots have beaten the Rams 6 straight times (5-1 ATS) and I see them taking this game down to the wire. New England is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Thursday. Los Angeles is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Thursday. | |||||||
12-09-20 | Georgia Tech v. Nebraska OVER 147 | 75-64 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in Georgia Tech @ Nebraska (7:15p.m., Wednesday, December 9 ESPN2) Both teams will be ready to go up and down tonight after playing teams that like to slow down the pace in recent games. The Yellow Jackets have gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 road games. Nebraska has gone over the posted total in 16 of their last 23 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. | |||||||
12-08-20 | North Carolina v. Iowa -2.5 | Top | 80-93 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #818 Iowa over North Carolina (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN) Nonconference Game of the Year Just believe Iowa is the more experienced and better shooting team in this game. This follows the pattern of success that we have had in recent years in this game, fading a team that played in a Holiday tournament last week compared to a team that is resting at home. Granted, North Carolina got to play in Ashville, but a few things happened last week in their second-place finish. One is Garrison Brooks got hurt and he has not been cleared to practice as of late Monday. Second, the refs will not bail them out in the semifinals like they did last week. These will not be ACC centric refs tonight, as this is a true home game for the Hawkeyes. Not going to talk much about Iowa’s game thus far, as they have all been blowout wins against cupcake opponents. But a couple of keys to follow, one is the 3-point line. North Carolina again, does not have a good shooting team from the arc, averaging under 30% and that will not get it done tonight. North Carolina will have to pound the glass to win this game and Iowa just has too much experience for that to happen. Finally, Fran McCaffery teams usually follow a pattern of starting the season hot before failing toward the end of conference season and make a quick out in the NCAA Tournament. That is okay for us tonight and expect them to remain undefeated. Iowa is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-08-20 | Purdue v. Miami-FL +1.5 | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #792 Miami over Purdue (5p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN2) Just not a fan of this Purdue squad this season. They struggled last year when not playing in West Lafayette and do not see things getting any better in 2020-2021. They are 3-1 but they only tough game this season they lost to Clemson by double-digits. They lost big man Matt Harms to BYU and I just do not believe they will be able to take advantage of Miami’s lack of size in this game. Miami had some covid issues earlier this season, but they are pretty healthy for this game and have more talent on the floor even if Chris Lykes does not go. They should be able to dominate this game at the guard position and they are being undervalued because they have played two cupcakes to open the season. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 road games. Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Everyone loves Matt Painter as a coach, but he tends to go into two-year funks, and this does not appear to be an NCAA Tournament team again this year. Miami wins this game. |
