11-25-22 | Wolves -5.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-110 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 19 m | Show |
Minnesota has won five straight and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They are playing the best they have so far this season. Charlotte is just not a good team right now and will likely be missing a couple top players here. We think this game has blowout potential and the Wolves should win by double digits. Minnesota does well on the road against bad teams (8-2 ATS run) and we expect a dominant performance here. We have stayed away from the Wolves a lot this season because of a slow start but it looks like this team is figuring things out and the Wolves seem like a good Buy Low option right now for bettors. |

11-25-22 | Wisconsin v. USC | 64-59 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #895 Wisconsin over USC (1p.m., Friday, November 25 ESPN2) We will follow the line movement in this game, as USC opened as a slight favorite but now Wisconsin isa pick’em. Both teams went into overtime to lose yesterday, but I like the depth that the Badgers have. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. USC is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-24-22 | Giants +9.5 v. Cowboys | 20-28 | Win | 100 | 49 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #107 New York Giants over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 24 FOX) This is just a lot of points to be laying for a short week divisional game. The Giants have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games. The Cowboys have not performed well in this game in recent years losing 3 straight and two of them have come against bottom feeder teams this century in the Raiders and Commanders. The Giants are coming off a bad loss to the Lions last Sunday and Dallas played their best game of the season pounding Minnesota. Look for both teams to regress to the mean and this divisional matchup will go down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Dayton v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 42-43 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #742 Wisconsin over Dayton (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 23 ESPN2) Wisconsin had no business winning the Maui Invitational last season in Las Vegas and they are underrated again in this tournament. Dayton already has a loss to UNLV and I just do not trust Anthony Grant to win big games. The Badgers are well rested, and they have won all 3 games this season by double-digits. Expect this to be a low scoring game where Wisconsin grinds out a victory, something they did most of last season. |
|||||||
11-22-22 | San Diego State v. Arizona -1.5 | 70-87 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #660 Arizona over San Diego State (10:30p.m., Tuesday, November 22 ESPN) These two teams have met a lot during the last decade despite not playing in the same conference. Just do not trust San Diego State to win big games, as they have a history of underachieving in the NCAA Tournament. Arizona scored over 100 points last night and I just do not believe San Diego State will be able to keep pace with them. |
|||||||
11-22-22 | Southern Miss +1.5 v. Winthrop | 77-52 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #651 Southern Miss over Winthrop (3p.m., Tuesday, November 22) The Eagles do not have any quality wins on the season, and I do not see that changes after Tuesday afternoon. Southern Miss has been on a strong ATS run of late covering the spread in 6 of their last 7 games. Winthrop is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Hawks v. Cavs -2 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
After a 5-game skid, the Cavs are swinging back in the other direction and have now won two straight. This team has been streaky lately but this looks like an excellent spot for them to continue their win streak against a Hawks team that plays better at home. The Hawks have dropped three of four ATS, and they got throttled by Boston on their recent homestand. The Cavs normally step up big at home in these marquee game type situations. Atlanta hasn’t had much luck here in Cleveland as they have covered in only one of their last six meetings. We see that trend continuing here on Monday. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Nevada v. Tulane -3 | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #776 Tulane over Nevada (5p.m., Monday, November 21 Flo Sports Streaming) Both teams have played cupcakes thus far in 2022 and thus we will side with the favorite in this game. The Green Wave return a ton of experience and should be able to make some noise in year 3 under Ron Hunter. Nevada remade their team, likely for the better but Steve Alford is in a major rebuilding project, and I am not sure if he can turn it around. Tulane is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Pistons v. Kings -9.5 | 129-137 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
The Kings are the top ATS team in the league at 11-3 ATS. With all the big stories in the NBA this season, this team is flying under the radar. The Pistons are coming off a string of big games against big-name teams, and this matchup won’t move the needle for them as much as recent games against the Clippers, Lakers and Celtics. Sacramento is the No. 1 offense in the NBA and averaging more than 12 PPG more than the Pistons. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Bengals -4 v. Steelers | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 100 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #473 Cincinnati Bengals over Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 20 CBS) This game was flexed out because of the Steelers. The Bengals have revenge on their minds after blowing their first meetings against the Steelers in embarrassing fashion. Just feel the Bengals are much better on offense and the Steelers will struggle to keep up with them on the scoreboard. Cincinnati is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. Just do not believe this Pittsburgh team is good enough to beat Cincinnati twice in one season. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Virginia v. Illinois -1 | 70-61 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #724 Illinois -1 over Virginia (3p.m., Sunday, November 20 ESPN) We will follow the line movement in this game, as the Illinois opened as an underdog but now are favored. Virginia went on a 30-5 run to open the second half and I just do not see them being able to shoot that well again during any point in this game. Baylor dominated the other 30 minutes and Illinois should be ready to play and win this championship. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Utah v. Oregon -3 | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 82 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #394 Oregon Ducks over Utah Utes (10:30p.m., Saturday, November 19 ESPN) Just do not see Oregon losing back-to-back home games in conference play. They got burned by QB Penix last Saturday, but I just do not believe Utah has the same explosive offense that Washington does. Utah has not risen to the occasions on many big games this season, especially when they are playing on the road. Utah is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning home record. Oregon is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Cal-Irvine v. Pepperdine -3.5 | 55-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #642 Pepperdine -3.5 over UC Irvine (8p.m., Saturday, November 19) The Anteaters are 2-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 road games. The Waves are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-19-22 | TCU v. Baylor +2.5 | Top | 29-28 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #398 Baylor Bears over TCU Horned Frogs (12p.m., Saturday, November 19 FOX) It end’s tonight! TCU’s magical season comes to an end on Saturday in Waco, TX. The Frogs are coming off an impressive win on Saturday at Texas and now must go on the road again to play Baylor. Back-to-Back road games is always a tough bill to overcome and this will be one of the best defenses they will face in 2022. The underdog is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 games between TCU and Baylor. The Bears are 21-4 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 27 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Kings -1.5 v. Canucks | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
The Canucks have had the upper hand in this series, but the Kings are in stronger form right now. LA has won four of five. Vancouver has lost three of four. We think there is a good chance that the Kings roil in this one, and this moneyline is juicy for the puckline. The Kings are 11-8 on the puckline this season. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Baylor -4.5 v. Virginia | 79-86 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #883 Baylor over Virginia (7p.m., Friday, November 18 ESPN2) Always like to play Baylor earlier in the season, as the Bears seem to start the season off with a long winning streak most years in nonconference play. This is a tough ask for Virginia, as they must fly across the country after the tragedy that occurred with their football team. They lost a game this week and they will be forced to make shots from the arc against this strong Baylor defense. Virginia is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played on Fridays. Baylor is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Spurs v. Kings -7 | Top | 112-130 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
Sacramento is 10-3 ATS on the season and playing their best basketball of the season at the moment. This is starting to look an awful lot like a playoff team. They have won four straight: Golden State, Cleveland and Brooklyn were included in that bunch. They are coming off a 30+ point win over the Nets. They have the No. 2 offense in the NBA this season and are facing the league’s worst defense. We just think the Kings will be able to outscore the Spurs tonight. They have put up 120 or more in four straight and 153 against the Nets. They have also covered in 9 of 13 meetings and 4 of 5 in Sacramento. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Titans v. Packers -3 | 27-17 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #312 Green Bay Packers over Tennessee Titans (8:15p.m., Thursday, November 16 Amazon Prime) The Packers got a much-needed win last time out and now get to face a team decimated by injuries. Throw in the fact that this is a short week road game for Tennessee and expect Green Bay to win this game by close to double digits. The Packers have been running the football tremendous of late and if that continues, QB Rodgers will pick is spots with the deep ball. Tennessee is 8-21 ATS (1 push) in their last 30 road games against teams with a losing home record. Green Bay is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Rockets +8.5 v. Mavs | 101-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
The Mavs played a grudge match last night against the rival Clippers, who they have meet in the playoff quite a bit. That was no doubt a big game for them. Now they enter this one on a B2B and face a Texas rival. When two Texas teams play, we always try and look for a reason to take the underdog as they normally don’t want to get rolled over on. And this seems like a letdown spot for Dallas here after that big game last night. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Western Michigan +12 v. Central Michigan | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 33 h 11 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #307 Western Michigan Broncos +11 over Central Michigan Chippewas (8p.m., Wednesday, November 16 ESPNU) I refused to believe that Central Michigan can blowout Western Michigan with a freshman quarterback that struggles to throw the football. The Broncos need to stop his running ability and if they do that, they should be able to take this game down to the wire. The visitor has dominated this series winning 7 of the 9 last games and is a perfect 9-0 ATS. Look for the Broncos to keep the scoring low and that makes this a strong play with the double-digit underdog. Western Michigan is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Wednesdays. Central Michigan is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record. This is a rivalry game and should be competitive. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Iowa +1.5 v. Seton Hall | 83-67 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #685 Iowa over Seton Hall (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 16 FS!) We have seen the better team win a lot of these early season games despite being on the road. Tonight, this game should be no different, as Iowa always seems to start well early in the season. Seton Hall has a new coach and system. If Iowa can handle the pressure, they should win this game by close to double digits. Iowa is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. Seton Hall is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Sabres v. Senators -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 160 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Both teams have been really struggling, but this looks like a great spot to get back on track. Buffalo played a really tough game last night vs. Vancouver, so they come in on a back-to-back. Buffalo just finished a four-game homestand where they gave up 19 goals, so we don’t think Ottawa will have a problem covering the puckline. During their current six-game slide, last night was the only game that Buffalo didn’t lose by multiple goals. |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Memphis v. St. Louis -2.5 | 84-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Saint Louis -2.5 over Memphis (9p.m., Tuesday, November 15 CBSSN) Really like this Billikens team and expect them to make the NCAA Tournament come March. They continue to play well at home and should win this game by close to double-digits. Memphis has talent but I just do not think they blend well under Penny Hardaway. Saint Louis is 25-12 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 39 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -3.5 | 102-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
This Pelicans team has been inconsistent but they have played a road-heavy schedule this season so far and we think they will excel here at home against the Grizzlies. We think New Orleans has a higher ceiling this season. And the Grizzlies have been overrated on the road, where they have failed to cover in five straight games. |
|||||||
11-14-22 | DePaul -1.5 v. Minnesota | 69-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #855 DePaul -1.5 over Minnesota (7p.m., Monday, November 14 BTN) Minnesota should be better in year two under Ben Johnson, but he is in a another complete rebuild. They have one good player in Dawson Garcia, but they will struggle to win games easily in the season with a bunch of young freshmen. DePaul has a bunch of scorers on their roster and should be able to put up close to 80 points in this game. We will follow the line movement in this game and back the road team. The Blue Demons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Golden Gophers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Cowboys -5 v. Packers | 28-31 | Loss | -110 | 121 h 54 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #261 Dallas Cowboys over Green Bay Packers (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 13 FOX) The Packers are in freefall at the moment having lost 5 straight games. 4 of those losses came against so-so teams and now they must face a real team with a strong defense. Green Bay has a ton of injuries and I just do not see many playmakers for Aaron Rodgers to use in this game. Cowboy Coach Mike McCarthy will get his revenge in this game because he has the much better and much healthier team. Dallas is 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games. Green Bay is 1-5 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Browns +3.5 v. Dolphins | 17-39 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #251 Cleveland Browns +3.5 over Miami Dolphins (1 p.m., Sunday, November 13 CBS) We will grab the points in this game and feel Cleveland has a good chance to win this game straight-up. Miami does not have much of a home field advantage, and Cleveland has a lot of playmakers outside of the quarterback. The Browns are well rested and played their best game of the season last time out against the Bengals. Cleveland beat Miami the last time these two teams met by 17 points. Cleveland needs this game, and I think they will be able to take it down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Grand Canyon v. Nevada -1.5 | 46-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #752 Nevada over Grand Canyon (4p.m., Saturday, November 12 Nevada Sports Net) Nevada will me a much improved team in 2022-2023, picking up a couple of key transfers. The Wolf Pack have covered the spread in 5 straight games and are 59-27 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 88 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Wisconsin -1 v. Iowa | 10-24 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #209 Wisconsin Badgers over Iowa Hawkeyes (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 12 FS1) Both teams are coming off impressive wins, but I will take Wisconsin in this game. The Badgers are the better offensive team and I just do not believe the Hawkeye’s will be able to take advantage of Wisconsin’s defense. Iowa has been terrible on offense for most of the season and I do not see things getting better on Saturday. Wisconsin has beaten Iowa 5 of the last 6 games. The Badgers have gotten life under new coach Jim Leonard and look for him to get the job come December. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | LSU v. Arkansas +4 | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #212 Arkansas Razorbacks +3.5 over LSU Tigers (12 p.m., Saturday, November 12 ESPN) This is a tough turnaround for LSU, and the Tigers never seem to perform well in 11 a.m. starts. They got killed by Tennessee in this situation, and look for Arkansas to beat them as well. The Razorbacks are coming off a bad loss against Liberty but before that dominated two decent opponents in BYU and Auburn. LSU is coming of a win against Alabama, and I just see them letting down in this game. The Razorbacks have dominated the Bayou Bengals ATS wise in recent years, going 10-4 ATS (1 push) in the last 15 games and 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Arkansas. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Cavs +2 v. Warriors | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
Cleveland is the better team right now and they have had one of the best starts to the season of any team. They enter, however, having lost two straight. Those were both close games, and the Cavs didn’t embarrass themselves. But they will be amped to get back on the winning track against the defending champs. Not only is Golden State playing mediocre basketball and bad defense, but they are getting their opponents’ best shot every night. Everyone wants to take down the champs, and we are sure Cleveland will bring their A Game here. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Stanford v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 50-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #678 Wisconsin over Stanford (7:30p.m., Friday, November 11 FS1) Jerod Haase just cannot seem to put together a solid NCAA Tournament team at Stanford. He recruits well but those high recruits just don’t seem to live up to their billing. This game is at American Family Field and it will be a strong crowd for Wisconsin, a state that loves events like this. Wisconsin has looked good in their exhibition games and scrimmages against teams that are better than Stanford. They have three solid players and if they make shots from the arc they will win this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Stanford is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight-up win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-10-22 | 76ers v. Hawks | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
The Hawks are normally very good at home and are coming off a loss to the Jazz here, and we don’t see them losing two straight at home. They have covered 10 of 14 against Philly in Atlanta, and we expect that trend to continue here on Thursday. Take the Hawks with confidence on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Bucks -5 v. Thunder | Top | 136-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
The Bucks suffered their first loss of the season last time out at Atlanta. It was a blowout and an embarrassing loss. But this is a great bounce back spot for what has been the best team in the NBA. After a hot start, OKC has come back to earth a bit and has lost three straight SU and ATS. They are pretty much a one-man team with SGA leading the way, but the Bucks have the defensive pieces to slow him down. Both meetings last year were blowouts, and we expect more of the same here. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | UMKC v. LSU -22.5 | 63-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #772 LSU over UMKC (8p.m., Wednesday, November 9 ESPN+) LSU gets underway on Wednesday with a new coach but they still have talent. This play is more about going against UMKC, as they are coming off a loss at home to a division two team. LSU is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Buffalo +1.5 v. Central Michigan | 27-31 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #109 Buffalo Bulls +1 over Central Michigan Chippewas (7p.m., Wednesday, November 9 ESPN2) Buffalo laid an egg last week against Ohio but they still in position to win the MAC East, but must win this game to stay in the race. The Bulls have won two straight games against the Chippewas (2-0 ATS) including a 23 point victory the last time these two teams met. Central Michigan is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 home games. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Coyotes v. Sabres -1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
Buffalo has the No. 1 offense in the NHL thus far with 4.1 goals per game. Arizona has one of the worst defenses in the NHL, allowing 4.1 goals per game. We see Buffalo scoring a lot tonight and don’t think they will have any problem covering the puckline. Buffalo has had a strong start to the season. They have, however, lost two straight entering this one, but those were to two top teams and on the road. Last time we saw the Sabres at home, they had won three straight, two by multiple goals against teams much better than the Coyotes, while scoring 18 goals in the process. The Coyotes are coming off a big win at Washington, so they are Fat and Happy right now. We expect the Sabres at home to dominate here. |
|||||||
11-07-22 | Kings +8 v. Warriors | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Golden State is off to a tough start to the season, and we think this will be a close game. Sacramento is 3-1 ATS on the road this season, where they normally get generous odds from the bookies. And that certainly looks like the case tonight. Sacramento has won and covered three of four, and they are playing well at the moment. |
|||||||
11-07-22 | Fairfield v. Wake Forest -12.5 | 59-71 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #668 Wake Forest over Fairfield (8p.m., Monday, November 7 ESPN+) I look for even more improvement for Wake Forest in year three under Steve Forbes. Wake Forest was impressive last season going 25-10 and 13-7 in ACC play. They were under the radar and look for them to win this game by close to 20 points. The Stats got off to a hot start last season but struggled during MAAC play. I look for that to carryover into tonight’s game. |
|||||||
11-07-22 | Blues v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
Boston has simply been the best team in the NHL up to this point, with a 10-2 record. They show no signs of slowing down. They suffered one of those losses last time out, so this team will put their best foot forward to get back on the winning track. That loss came against the Maple Leafs, a team well higher in the rankings than St. Louis. The blues are 3-6 and one of the biggest disappointments in the NHL this season. They have lost every game of their current six-game slide by multiple goals. This game looks bad for them also. Boston is 9-3 on the puckline this season. The Blues are 2-7. We think this one is blowout city tonight. |
|||||||
11-06-22 | Jazz v. Clippers -3 | 110-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
To say the Clippers got off to a slow start was an understatement. This team looked like one of the worst in the NBA and Kawhi Leonard has been sidelines again. But this team has won three straight and they are starting to play well together. Utah has been playing incredible basketball to start the season, but we don’t see this is a playoff team. The Clippers have some of the best depth in the NBA this season and we think they will take this game very seriously because of the slow start. |
|||||||
11-05-22 | BYU v. Boise State -7.5 | 31-28 | Loss | -106 | 100 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #370 Boise State Broncos over BYU Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, November 5 FS2) BYU is a sinking ship at the moment having lost 4 straight games including 3 of them that were home or neutral site games. Boise State has found on offense led by former coach Dirk Koetter. He has given this team life and the Broncos enter this game having won 4 straight games, 3 of them coming by 20+ points. Playing on the blue turf is never an easy task and this game wants to pound the Cougars, a team that left the MWC and will be in the Big 12 soon, a conference the Broncos have wanted to join. BYU is a sinking ship going 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games. Boise State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against teams with a losing road record. |
|||||||
11-05-22 | Maryland v. Wisconsin -5 | 10-23 | Win | 100 | 93 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #356 Wisconsin Badgers over Maryland Terrapins (12p.m., Saturday, November 5 BTN) I learned my lesson about fading Wisconsin two weeks ago at home. Look for them to come off their bye week with another double-digit win, this time coming against Maryland. The Badgers have showed some life under interim Coach Jim Leonard. The Terrapins have been terrible against the Big 10 West going 1-8 straight-up, 1-8 ATS, and are 0-2 ATS in 2022. Maryland is a lot like Purdue and that final score was not indicative of how dominating Wisconsin was in that game. Maryland is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 games following a bye. |
|||||||
11-03-22 | Panthers v. Sharks +1.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
Florida will likely be much more of a player in the Stanley Cup chase than will San Jose, but the Panthers are not playing Cup-worthy hockey to start the season. They have been very mediocre thus far. They have been killing puckline bettors at 2-8 ATS, and they have a 5-4-1 record on the season. That is better than the Sharks, but San Jose is better than their record indicates, in our opinion. They had the strange start to the season with two games in Europe, and they haven’t found their footing since returning. But there are signs for optimism. Scoring has been their problem for most of the season, as the defense has been fine. But they have averaged four goals apiece in their last three, so things are looking up in that area. Florida has lost three of four and lost at Arizona 3-1 last time out. Both meetings last year were decided in overtime, and we think this will be a close one as well. |

10-30-22 | Raiders -2 v. Saints | Top | 0-24 | Loss | -110 | 119 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #255 Las Vegas Raiders over New Orleans Saints (1p.m., Sunday, October 30 CBS) The Raiders are a better team than their 2-4 record would indicate and now they get to play a team with major issues at quarterback. Las Vegas has won 2 straight games against New Orleans. Not a fan of hiring Dennis Allen and he needs to right the ship, as the Saints have lost 5 of their last 6 games. I do not look for it to happen in this game, as the roster of the Raiders is just better on both sides of the football. The Saints are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. The Raiders are 11-4 ATS over the last 15 games during Week 8 of the regular season. |
|||||||
10-29-22 | Warriors v. Hornets +10.5 | 113-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Charlotte has been a decent bet this season so far at 3-2 ATS. They are coming in on a back-to-back and off a blowout loss at Orlando, but we think they were looking ahead to this game against the defending champs. Golden State has faced some heavy hitters in Miami and Phoenix the last two games, so we don’t think they will be too excited about a trip to Charlotte. The Hornets have won four of six meetings outright and we think they will put up a fight today. |
|||||||
10-29-22 | Hamilton v. Ottawa +1.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #696 Ottawa over Hamilton (5p.m., Saturday, October 29 ESPN+) It end’s tonight! Ottawa will put to bed their long home losing streak against a team that will be resting starters. Hamilton has the No. 3 seed locked up and thus will be resting starting in this game. Ottawa has been close in home games and will finally get over the hump in this game. The line opened at +3 but it down to +1 at release time. |

10-29-22 | Illinois v. Nebraska +8 | 26-9 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #118 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Illinois Fighting Illini (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 29 ABC) Illinois is in unfamiliar territory now as the hunted instead of doing the hunting. I do not think any team in the Big 10 West is any good and thus we will grab the points with this home underdog. The Cornhuskers covered last time out against the Boilermakers, and they will keep this game in single digits as well. Illinois has not been a road favorite in the Big 10 since 2018. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games between Illinois and Nebraska. Take the points in this game. |

10-29-22 | Cincinnati v. Central Florida +1 | 21-25 | Win | 100 | 98 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #146 UCF Knights over Cincinnati Bearcats (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 29 ESPN) The Knights laid a dud last week at East Carolina, but they are a much better team at home. 4 turnovers did them in despite putting up 426 yards of offense. Cincinnati is not the same team as they were in 2021 and they are just 2-5 ATS this season. They have struggled to put away bad teams and now they must face a team with a strong offensive scheme that they have not seem all season long. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between the Bearcats and the Knights. UCF is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Hawks v. Pistons +6.5 | Top | 136-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
These teams played here on Wednesday and Atlanta scored a five-point win. The Pistons are underrated and this is a possible play in tourney team. We don’t think they will play worse than Wednesday, and they were in that game all the way with a chance to win at the end. We think there’s a great chance they play even better as it’s tough to beat a team consecutive games like this. |
|||||||
10-27-22 | Panthers v. Flyers +1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
We think Philly has a great chance to win this one outright but we will go with the puckline value here. We had this puckline handicapped at -180, so there is great value here. The Flyers are playing great hockey out of the gate at 4-2. They have been one of the better betting teams in the NHL because they have been playing well above expectations. They have covered the puckline in five of six games. Florida hasn’t been great on the road. They have been a money pit for puckline bettors at 1-6. The Panthers have lost six of the last eight meetings here in Philly. We expect a close game here. |
|||||||
10-26-22 | Hawks v. Pistons +8 | Top | 118-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
Detroit is off to a slow start, but this team is not a bottom feeder this season. We think they are a contender for the play in tourney and a team in the rise. This is just too many points as a home dog. Detroit has played three of four on the road, but their one home game was a solid win, and we think they will be primed for a big performance tonight. The Hawks rarely play well here and are 0-4 ATS in their last four visits and 2-6 ATS in their last eight meetings overall. The Hawks are 1-2 ATS despite playing all three at home against a weak schedule. |
|||||||
10-25-22 | Coyotes v. Blue Jackets -1.5 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Columbus has won three of four, including wins over Nashville and NY Rangers. We don’t really see them having a letdown here because they know every game is important in a possible playoff push. Columbus has 17 goals in their last four games. Arizona has allowed 12 goals in their last two games, and we think Columbus will likely put up a big number on offense here and they should have no problem covering the puckline. |
|||||||
10-24-22 | Jazz -1.5 v. Rockets | 108-114 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
These are supposed to be two tanking teams, but here they sit at 5-1 ATS on the season. But Utah has shown the ability to win games and not just cover, and they are 3-0 on the season and have looked very impressive. They have the No. 1 offense in the NBA thus far through three games. They are on a back-to-back here, but we don’t see that bothering this young team. We see another high scoring affair here and expect the Jazz to pull away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
10-23-22 | Jazz v. Pelicans -8.5 | Top | 122-121 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
Both teams are 2-0 SU and ATS, but one team is a championship contender and one team is playing over its head. We think this will be a high scoring game but we think this is where Utah comes back to earth a bit. New Orleans has looked very good to start the season. These teams normally play a high scoring game, and we expect the same here tonight but New Orleans wins by double digits. They might get 130+ on their own. |
|||||||
10-23-22 | Jets v. Broncos -3 | Top | 16-9 | Loss | -108 | 123 h 22 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #466 Denver Broncos over New York Jets (4:05p.m., Sunday, October 23 CBS) The Jets are winning games with smoke and mirrors I do not see them winning this game unless Denver helps them. Playing back-to-back road games is always tough in the NFL and Denver is desperate for a victory today. Denver has won 5 of their last 6 games against New York including a 26-0 victory last season. The Jets were just 1 for 11 on third down last week and had just 278 total yards. Denver is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. New York is 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with a losing record. This is a must win game for Denver and they get it by close to double-digits. |

10-22-22 | Purdue +2.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 24-35 | Loss | -104 | 99 h 46 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #401 Purdue Boilermakers over Wisconsin Badgers (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 22 ESPN) Big 10 Game of the Year These two teams are heading in opposite directions. This is the time that Big 10 West teams can get their revenge on Wisconsin, a team that has dominated this west division since the inception. The Badgers have played two terrible teams the last two weeks and gone 1-1. Both Michigan State and Northwestern have terrible defenses and that is not the case with Purdue. The Boilermakers have won 4 straight games and could easily be 7-0 on the season. They have a much better passing game and have a defense that can stop the running attack of Wisconsin. This play is more about going against Wisconsin, a team that fired their coach 2.5 weeks ago and has a coaching staff that does not get along well the uncertainty of their coaching futures. Two more Badger players entered the transfer portal this week and I do not see things getting any better down the stretch. They will win some game because the Big 10 West is bad, but you just cannot count on them to win game against similar or better talented teams. Wisconsin has scored over 17 points just 6 times dating back to last year and they are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. Purdue is 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games in Madison. Purdue is the second-best team Wisconsin will have played this season and loss No. 5 will happen on Saturday. The road team is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Purdue and Wisconsin. The Badgers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. The Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. |

10-20-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Lakers | 103-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
This is one of those matchups we look forward to each season as it’s pretty much easy money to take the Clippers… and you can pretty much bet them blindly. This is a one-sided rivalry because the Lakers are the Clippers biggest rival but the Lakers have more traditional rivals. So the Clippers always give it everything they have, especially since they are considered second tier in their city. When healthy, the Clippers probably have the strongest roster in the NBA, and they have a healthy roster to start the season. The Lakers look like they might have another long season, and this team will normally be overrated because they are the biggest public betting team in the NBA. We think the Clips will want to come out strong on opening night. |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Thunder v. Wolves -10.5 | Top | 108-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
We don’t take many double digit favorites in the NBA, but we think this one is warranted. Minnesota has just crushed OKC in recent meetings. Like CRUSHED. Like all three games were decided by 30 or more. OKC was one of the best ATS teams in the league last season. We used them a lot. We will probably use them a lot midseason once this young team starts to gel. And they have a great leader in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. At some point, he will get the best out of this roster. But this team is much different than the one that covered so many games last season and there are going to be some growing pains. Minnesota has their best team in years and a legit contender. We think OKC runs into a buzzsaw here in the season opener. |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Flyers v. Panthers -1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -135 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
Philly has had a strong start to the season, but they are in a real tough spot here on a B2B after playing in Tampa last night in a big road win. Florida has also played well to start the season but are coming off their first loss of the season in Boston in a game where they played decently. They will be primed to get back on track here at home against a fatigued Philly team that doesn’t have their legs under them yet at this early point of the season. Florida has a strong history in this series. They have won six of seven, and three of the last four wins have been by multiple goals. The Flyers have won only once here in the last seven meetings. We don’t see things going well for them tonight and we expect a big bounce-back performance from the home team. Philly enters this matchup fat and happy and we think this is the perfect letdown spot for a team that has been playing a bit over their heads. |
|||||||
10-18-22 | 76ers +2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 29 m | Show |
The Sixers seem very solid heading into the new season and we think this team is in a great place and primed for a strong start and a possible championship run. Boston not only has the hangover from losing in the finals, but they had a turbulent offseason to say the last with their coach being suspended for the season and losing offseason acquisition Gallinari for the season with an injury. And we forget that this team started very slow last season before turning it on around the holidays, and we think a repeat could be in the cards. Philly has covered in seven of the last eight meetings. Their non-cover during that span? The 135-87 beatdown in February. We have no doubt the Sixers remember that game and they will want to play their best here against a team they normally exceed expectations against. |
|||||||
10-17-22 | Penguins v. Canadiens +1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Montreal got their big win in the season opener over their rival Toronto and then went on the road in a letdown spot and were stomped by Detroit then they lost in Washington on a B2B. But they are back at home here and rested, and we think this will be a competitive match that the home side has a great chance to win. The underdog is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings between these squads. Montreal has won two of the last three meetings at home. |
|||||||
10-16-22 | Jaguars v. Colts -1 | Top | 27-34 | Win | 100 | 117 h 46 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #256 Indianapolis Colts over Jacksonville Jaguars (1p.m., Sunday, October 16 CBS) It end’s today. The Colts have not had much success against Jacksonville in recent games, but they are just a better team not to beat them at home. Indianapolis has extra rest for this game, and they are 2-2-1 on the season despite not playing very well. That will change and QB Ryan will start to move the football through the air in this game. Jacksonville is coming off a bad loss to Houston last time out and they have not looked the same since a hot first quarter against Philadelphia two games ago. The home team is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 10 games between Jacksonville and Indianapolis. The Jaguars are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games played during the month of October. |

10-15-22 | Nebraska +14 v. Purdue | 37-43 | Win | 100 | 99 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #143 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Purdue Boilermakers (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 15 BTN) We will grab the points in this game, as we feel Purdue is being overvalued. This team does not handle prosperity well and already has two close game losses on the season. Nebraska got down early to Rutgers last week but rallied for a confidence building victory. Nebraska has won 5 of the last 9 games against Purdue and they are also 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games as an underdog. With Wisconsin on deck for Purdue, expect them to just go through the motions and win this game by 7-10 points. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Nebraska and Purdue. |

10-15-22 | Alabama v. Tennessee +7.5 | 49-52 | Win | 100 | 95 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Tennessee Volunteers over Alabama Crimson Tide (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 15 CBS) Never like to bet against Alabama, but this will be their toughest test of the 2022 regular season. Alabama has already had close calls with Texas and Texas A&M. This one should go down to the wire as well, as Tennessee has a quick tempo offense that is hard to stop. Tennessee is averaging close to 550 yards per game and QB Hooker can hold his own against QB Young, assuming that the later plays in this game. Alabama did not score in the final 28 minutes last week at home against Texas A&M and if they go on a drought like that this week they will lose straight-up. College Gameday is in town to get the crowd going early and this is a watershed moment for Tennessee. They will prove they belong as one of the elite teams in college football. The Crimson Tide are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games against teams with a winning home record. The Volunteers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
10-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 32 h 27 m | Show |
Montreal probably won’t be a very good team this year. But the matchups with Toronto will be the highlights of their season. They always come to play against their main rival. And this is one of the best rivalries in all of sports. Toronto hasn’t won by more than one goal in the last seven meetings. Montreal has won five of those meetings outright. Last season, Montreal won both matchups at home, and both by multiple goals. We have to remember that Toronto is a contender and Montreal is unlikely to make the postseason, so that shows just how much they raise their level of play when they face their main rival. We expect another close one here and think the home team even has a slight chance to win outright. |

10-11-22 | Guardians v. Yankees -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 111 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #926 New York (-1.5 RL) over Cleveland (7:37p.m., Tuesday, October 11 TBS) Cleveland survived a marathon game with Tampa Bay on Saturday to advance to the ALDS. Just do not believe they are swinging the bats were well and will have trouble scoring runs against the Yankees and their ace on Tuesday. The Guardians have not had much success against the Yankees going 1-5 in their last 6 meetings. Stretching that out they are 23-49 in their last 72 games played in New York. Cleveland is 0-5 in their last 5 playoff road games. New York is 54-21 in their last 75 home games. |

10-09-22 | Dolphins v. Jets +3 | Top | 17-40 | Win | 100 | 95 h 46 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #466 New York Jets over Miami Dolphins (1p.m., Sunday, October 9 CBS) The Dolphins are in turmoil after the handling of QB Tua the last two weeks and now just travel on the road to take on the Jets. New York is riding high coming back from Pittsburgh last Sunday to 2-2 on the season. The Jets have yet to win a home game this season, but I look for that to end on Sunday. Miami is 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games played during the month of October. Look for this game to go down to the wire and the Jets to pull in out. |
|||||||
10-08-22 | Washington State +13.5 v. USC | 14-30 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #365 Washington State Cougars over USC Trojans (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 8 FOX) Just not sold on USC in the first year of a complete rebuild. Washington State has a better win on the season thus far and should be able to keep this game low scoring and cover the spread. Wazzou can move the football and put up points on this defense. USC is just 3-9 in their last 12 PAC-12 games. The road team is 7-2 in the last 9 games between Wazzou and Southern Cal. The Cougars are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games played during the month of October. |

10-08-22 | East Carolina +3.5 v. Tulane | 9-24 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take ##379 East Carolina Pirates over Tulane Green Wave (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 8 ESPNU) The Pirates can score points and put up 52 last season against the Green Wave. Tulane has some impressive wins this season as well beating Kansas State and Houston, but they have quarterback issues and needed to play their third string quarterback last week. Tulane had not business winning last week looking at the stats and that will catch up to them in this game. East Carolina is a kicker away from being undefeated this season. East Carolina is 11-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 games against teams with a winning record. Getting points with the better team is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
10-07-22 | Colorado State v. Nevada -3.5 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #308 Nevada Wolf Pack over Colorado State Rams (10:30p.m., Friday, October 7 FS1) This game is under the radar but means a lot to Nevada, as Jay Norvell left them for Colorado State, a team in the same conference. He also took a bunch of Nevada coaches and players and things could not have gone any worse for them so far in 2022. The Rams are 0-4 and have not been competitive in any game played this season, including games against Middle Tennessee State and Sacramento State. They have had several starters leave the team and they will he lucky to win more than 1 game this season. Nevada will take care of the football and not beat themselves and that should be good enough to win this game by double-digits. Nevada is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against Colorado State. The Rams are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games. |

7 Unit Play. Take #969 Toronto (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (7:05p.m., Monday, October 3 MLB.tv) The Blue Jays are on a roll and will still have a meaningful game on Monday in order to claim the No. 4 seed in the American League Playoffs. This is a big thing to claim, as it means they will face the No 5 need in a best of 3 with all 3 games taking place in Toronto. They pounded the Red Sox over the weekend and expect them to take care of business tonight against a Baltimore team that is just finishing out the season. Toronto is 35-16 in their last 51 games against Baltimore. The Orioles are 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win in their previous game. |

10 Unit Play. Take 274 Las Vegas Raiders over Denver Broncos (4:25p.m., Sunday, October 2 CBS) It ends tonight! The Raiders will notch their first victory of the season and move to 1-3 and 1-1 in the division. The Raiders have been competitive in all 3 of their games this season and they just seem more buttoned up then the Broncos are at the moment. Las Vegas has won 4 straight games against Denver and the Broncos have only covered the spread in 2 of their last 7 games. Denver has been bad on offense most of the season, especially in the red zone. Denver is 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games against AFC West teams. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games in this series. |

3 Unit Play. Take #269 Cleveland Browns -1 over Atlanta Falcons (1p.m., Sunday, October 2 CBS) Just feel the talent of the Browns is much stronger around their quarterback compared to the talent around Marcus Mariota. Cleveland has won 4 of the last 5 meetings which is shocking compared to how bad this team has been in this century. The Browns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against NFC teams. Atlanta is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games played during October. Atlanta’s ATS winning streak in 2022 comes to an end on Sunday. |

10 Unit Play. Take #696 Edmonton Elks over Montreal Alouettes (4p.m., Saturday, October 1 ESPN+) Edmonton will notch their first home victory of 2022 on Saturday afternoon. The Elks are healthier than the Alouettes and are facing a team that must make a cross country trip. Edmonton is coming off a win over Saskatchewan and gets to play most of their remaining games at home. Kenny Lawler should return in this game giving the Elks another weapon to go against the inconsistent pass rush for Montreal. |

4 Unit Play. Take #970 Toronto (-1.5 RL) +140 over Boston (3:07p.m., Saturday, October 1 MLB.tv) The Blue Jays shutout the Red Sox last night and still have something to play for in this game. Toronto wants to host Tampa Bay or Seattle in the best of three series where the higher seed gets all 3 home games. Boston is just playing out the season and I do not see them putting forth much of an effect in any of these three games. Toronto has beaten Boston 19 of the last 26 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

10-01-22 | Illinois v. Wisconsin -7 | 34-10 | Loss | -110 | 71 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #116 Wisconsin Badgers over Illinois Fighting Illini (12p.m., Saturday, October 1 BTN) Wisconsin got run over by Ohio State last Saturday night but playing Illinois should be much more to their likely. The Badgers have dominated this series winning 15 of the last 17 games. Coach Chryst seat is getting warm, and he needs a dominating performance against a former Wisconsin coach to tone down the fan base. Wisconsin fans still hate Bret Bielema and want to see a double-digit dominating win. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Wisconsin and Illinois. Finally, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games as well. |

Now they want to earn the No. 4 seed and home field advantage in round one by staying ahead of Tampa Bay in the standing. Alek Manoah is on the mound tonight with his 15-7 record and 2.31 E.R.A. He has been lights out of late and has not given up three earned runs in any start since August 16. Toronto has beaten Boston 17 of the last 21 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

The Brewers have the edge in pitching in this game with Brandon Woodruff on the hill for them at American Family Field. The Crew are desperate for win to keep their hopes of a wild card berth alive and must win this game today if they want to make the playoffs. |

7 Unit Play. Take #914 Los Angeles Dodgers (-1.5 RL) +115 over St Louis Cardinals (9:10p.m., Saturday, September 24 MLBN) Neither team has much to play for since both know what seed they will be entering the playoffs. The Cardinals had an emotional night on Friday with Pujols hitting a pair of home runs to reach 700. Expect a letdown in this game especially when going up against Clayton Kershaw. He has been outstanding of late and getting him at an underdog price with the run line is too good to pass up. The Dodgers are 10-4 in their last 14 games against the Cardinals. LA is also 56-16 in their last 72 series during game 2 of that series. |

09-24-22 | Wisconsin +18 v. Ohio State | 21-52 | Loss | -105 | 102 h 47 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #341 Wisconsin Badgers over Ohio State Buckeyes (7:30p.m., Saturday 24 ABC) Just do not see a rout in this game. Wisconsin has the defense to slow down this Ohio State offense and look for them to keep them in check. QB Mertz has been playing better this season despite losing to Washington State and he will need to be effective in this game for Wisconsin to sustain drives. Ohio State has not played a team this good and I look for Wisconsin to implement that Notre Dame gameplan. The Buckeyes are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Badgers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Big 10 games. |

09-23-22 | Hamilton v. Montreal -1.5 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #682 Montreal over Hamilton (7:30p.m., Friday, September 23 ESPN+) The rubber match between the Tiger-Cats and Alouettes takes place tonight at Memorial Stadium in Montreal, Quebec. Playoff implications are on the line as Hamilton trails Montreal by 2 points in the standing. The Alouettes are coming off a bye and the Tiger-Cats have not won a road game this season. Hamilton played their best game of the season last time out but I do not expect them to follow-up with another strong showing. Hamilton will struggle in this game unless they can create turnovers. Trevor Harris has put up big numbers against Hamilton this season throwing for 670 yards and has a 4 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

09-19-22 | Vikings +2.5 v. Eagles | Top | 7-24 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 57 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #291 Minnesota Vikings over Philadelphia Eagles (8:30pm., Monday, September 19 ABC) The Vikings looked impressive in their season opening game dominating Green Bay for the majority of that 60 minute game. Now they travel on the road to face a team that many believe will be the NFC East winner come January. Always tough to trust the Vikings on a consistent basis, but that have a new coach and just are the more talented team in this game. That includes the quarterback position. Minnesota needs to stop the run in this game and make Jalen Hurts beat them through the air. Philadelphia is 3-13 in their last 16 games played during Week 2 of the regular season. Getting rid of the negative Mike Zimmer energy will help the Vikings immensely. |

09-18-22 | Mariners v. Angels -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 165 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play: Take 928 LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5 RL, OVER SEATTLE MARINERS (4:07pm E, Sunday, September 18) The Angels, with Ohtani, slipped by the Mariners yesterday 2-1. We think today will be a much more substantial wil. It doesn't look like it in the standings, but the Angels are a VERY good team and had playoff aspirations early in the year. The Mariners are also missing two relief pitchers and their catcher, Tom Murphy. There's nothing they'd rather do than wallop the Mariners and play spoiler. Ohtani will be hitting today and we expect a lot out of him. Reid Detmers takes his 3.82 ERA against Marco Gonzales' 3.9 ERA, but we think the Angels will get to him early. |

09-17-22 | Fresno State v. USC -11.5 | 17-45 | Win | 100 | 78 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #202 USC Trojans over Fresno State Bulldogs (10:30p.m., Saturday, September FOX) Fresno State is a good program but they are a mid-major California school compared to USC. The Trojans are rolling on offense, and I believe they can outscore their way to a double-digit victory on Saturday night. USC has won 4 straight games against Fresno State, and they are 34-1-1 straight-up against MWC teams. With a total in the seventies, I look for USC to pull away late and win this game by around 20 points. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | UTSA +12.5 v. Texas | 20-41 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #193 UTSA Roadrunners over Texas Longhorns (8p.m., Saturday, September 17 LHN) Just feel this is a tough spot for Texas coming off an emotional loss to Alabama last Saturday. Throw in the face Texas has quarterback issues with their top two on the depth chart and I feel this game could be in single digits. UTSA is pretty good for a mid-major program with an explosive offense and can score points and backdoor this game if needed. With the opening of Big 12 play on deck expect this classic sandwich game to go down to the wire. UTSA is 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games. Texas is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. |

09-17-22 | Purdue v. Syracuse -1 | 29-32 | Win | 100 | 67 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #114 Syracuse Orange over Purdue Boilermakers (12p.m., Saturday, September 17 ESPN2) Just do not trust Purdue to win games like this on a consistent basis. Syracuse has had a revival through two games this season with a coach that came in on the hot seat to open 2022. The Orange have blown out two opponents to go 2-0 this season including a win over Louisville as an underdog. Garrett Shrader is a top 5 quarterback in passing this young season and he works nicely with RB Sean Tucker to give them a 1-2 punch. Syracuse is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games. |
|||||||
09-16-22 | Rangers v. Rays -1.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #920 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5 RL, OVER TEXAS RANGERS (7:10pm E, Friday, September 16) The Rays are getting hot at the right time. After an 11-0 win over Toronto, in Toronto, they're clicking on all cylinders. Today Corey Kluber and his 4.37 ERA (he's better than that) goes against Martin Perez and his 2.77 ERA (Tampa will score more than 3 runs, tonight, with their hot bats). Take Tampa to win easily. |
|||||||
09-12-22 | Broncos v. Seahawks +6.5 | Top | 16-17 | Win | 100 | 121 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #482 Seattle Seahawks over Denver Broncos (8:15p.m., Monday, September 12 ESPN) The Hawks are not expected to contend this season as they traded away their quarterback to Denver. But the fan base will be excited for this game, and it is one of the toughest tickets in town. Look for Seattle to rise to the occasion and take this game down to the wire. Denver gave up a ton of capital to get Russell Wilson and they were not a very good team last year. Seattle is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against AFC teams. The Hawks are also 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games when they are an underdog. Seattle has won 9 of their last 10 home games. Too much emotion for Russell Wilson to blow out Seattle and expect this game to go down to the wire and we will come out on top either way. |

09-12-22 | Pirates v. Reds -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play: Take 902 Cincinnati -1.5 RL over Pittsburgh (6:40pm E, Monday, September 12) The Reds didn't come close to the year they expected, but they still have a quality ballclub which has shown up much of the 2nd half of the season. When their bats light up, their offense is as good as anyone’s, and these are the kinds of games where it happens. Tonight, Mike Minor and his 5.7 ERA will defend the homefield against Bryce Wilson and his whopping 6.7 ERA. Look for the Reds to score early and often. |
|||||||
09-11-22 | Steelers +7 v. Bengals | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 90 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #461 Pittsburgh Steelers over Cincinnati Bengals (1p.m., Sunday, September 11 CBS) We will grab the points in this divisional rivalry. People are starting to bury the Steelers, but one must remember that Mike Tomlin has never had a losing record in his coaching career. Pittsburgh has the better defense in this game and that should allow them to keep this game as a one score game. The Steelers lost both games to the Bengals last year but have owned this series in the last two decades. Pittsburgh is 21-10 ATS in the last 32 meetings (1 push) and 16-5 ATS in the last 23 games played in Cincinnati (2 pushes). |

09-10-22 | Kent State v. Oklahoma -33 | 3-33 | Loss | -110 | 72 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #382 Oklahoma Sooners over Kent State Golden Flashes (7p.m., Saturday, September 10 ESPN+) Not sure who thought it would be a good idea for Kent State to play three buy games in one season. But that is what has occurred in 2022 with road games against Washington, Oklahoma and Georgia. The Golden Flashes lost by 25 points last week to Washington and the score in that game could have been much worse. Kent State pulled most of their starters in the second half to protect them for the MAC Conference games and they will do the same thing in this one as well. Oklahoma wants to show they are still one of the top teams in the Big 12 and they pounded UTEP in their opening game. This will be another victory likely by 40+ points. The Golden Flashes are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Sooners have covered the spread in 5 straight home games. |

09-10-22 | Washington State v. Wisconsin -17 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 68 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #356 Wisconsin Badgers over Washington State Cougars (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 10 FOX) Wisconsin has the best defense in the Big 10 and I just believe Wazzou will struggle to move the football and score points in this game. It may not be a dominating performance but the cumulative effect on a strong running game and a defense that can rush the passer will allow Wisconsin to win by 20+ points. The Badgers were able to hold some things back last week playing an FCS school. Wazzou played an FCS school as well and they were in a dog fight for 60 minutes and trailed 10-0 in that game. |

09-06-22 | Sky v. Sun | 80-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #642 Connecticut over Chicago (8p.m., Tuesday, September 6 ESPN2) The Sun forgot how to score points in the fourth quarter on Sunday and that costs us a big play winner. Look for them to bounce back in a must win game at home. Chicago just wanted to get a split in Connecticut and they have already accomplished that. The Sky are an older team and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games when playing on one day’s rest. |
|||||||
09-04-22 | Sky v. Sun | Top | 76-72 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 44 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #636 Connecticut Sun over Chicago Sky (1p.m., Sunday, September 4 ESPN2) Chicago is the defending champions of the WNBA but I just do not like the way they are playing during the second half of the season. They lost the No. 1 see to Las Vegas and have already lost two home games during the playoffs. Connecticut got the split in Chicago to take away home court advantage and Game 3 is usually when the home team plays their best game of the series. The Sky are just 1-5 in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. The Sun have been playing exceptional down the stretch going 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games. The includes 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. |

09-03-22 | Louisville -4 v. Syracuse | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 45 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #169 Louisville Cardinals over Syracuse Orange (8p.m., Saturday, September 3 ACCN) Just do not see much hope for Syracuse and Dino Babers turning things around. He is 3-15 in the ACC the last 2 years and is facing a team that has had his number of late. Louisville has covered the spread against Syracuse in 7 of the last 8 meetings. That included winning 41-3 last year and their margin of victory in the last 8 games is 31 points. Louisville picked up some key transfers this season and Syracuse has a new offensive coordinator that might not fit their skill players system. The favorite has covered the spread in this game 8 straight meetings. |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Texas State v. Nevada | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 54 h 8 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #208 Nevada Wolf Pack over Texas State Bobcats (5:30p.m., Saturday, September 3 local) This line has moved too far the other way and now the value lies with Nevada. The Wolf Pack did not look good on offense last Saturday but having a game under their belt will help them in this one. This is the home opener with a popular coach and expect Nevada to win this game. Texas State has never made a bowl game since becoming eligible. The Wolf Pack are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games. |

09-01-22 | West Virginia v. Pittsburgh -7.5 | 31-38 | Loss | -105 | 51 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #144 Pittsburgh Panthers over West Virginia Mountaineers (7p.m., Thursday, September 1 ESPN) The Backyard Brawl is back for the first time in over a decade. West Virginia has taken a step back and look for Pittsburgh to have another successful season in the ACC. Pittsburgh brings back a lot of talent and Coach Narduzzi will not take this game lightly. West Virginia has become forgotten once they left the Big East and has not been very strong in Big 12 play the last couple of seasons. West Virginia is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against ACC teams. Pittsburgh is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games. Look for the Panthers to come out strong and win this game by double digits. |

08-29-22 | Cubs v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #916 Toronto (-1.5 RL) over Chicago (7:07p.m., Monday, August 29 MLB.tv) The Blue Jays laid an egg against Los Angeles this week but now get to host another bad team in Chicago. The Cubs gave up 16 runs in their last two games against Milwaukee and expect them to give up a bunch of runs tonight as well. The Jays are 5-2 in their last 7 home games against Chicago. The Cubs are 8-22 in their last 30 interleague games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
