---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
01-11-23 | Sharks v. Kings UNDER 6.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Four of the last five meetings in LA went under the posted total. These teams are big rivals and will probably pick up the defensive intensity to a playoff level. It hurts the Sharks chances here, however, being on a back to back. They probably won’t get many goals here. They have only four goals in the last three meetings and were shut out once. |
|||||||
01-11-23 | Indiana v. Penn State -2 | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #688 Penn State over Indiana (7p.m., Wednesday, January 11 BTN) The Hoosiers will struggle to compete in the Big 10 without two of their main players. Penn State is looking to get back to .500 in Big 10 play and they need to win their home games to have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament come March. Indiana is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between Indiana and Penn State. |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Mavs v. Clippers -1 | Top | 101-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
For Dallas, Luka Doncic is questionable for this matchup. If he plays, the line will move. But we like the Clippers to win this one by a comfortable margin despite the line movement. Paul George is out for LA but Kawhi should play. Tonight., we have to plug our noses and take the Clippers, who are on a 6-game losing streak. This is the worst losing streak in years. This team has been inconsistent. But this just has the feeling of a Must Win game, and we think LA will respond to the pressure tonight. It’s not like they have lost to scrubs, as all the losses were to playoff type teams. They played their best game of the bunch last time out vs. the Hawks, who eventually rallied for the win. But LA has covered in five of the last seven meetings, and this is a good familiar foe with which to halt the losing streak. |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Seattle has scored 26 goals in their last five games. They have the No. 3 offense in the NHL. Tonight they take on the No. 1 scoring offense in the NHL, and we expect both teams to get their goals in what should be a very competitive match. Both teams enter on a back to back so we don’t see the defenses playing up to normal standards. |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin | 69-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #619 Michigan State over Wisconsin (7p.m., Tuesday, January 10 ESPN) Tyler Wahl was in a boot on Saturday and Michigan State has won 3 of the last 4 games in Madison. |
|||||||
01-09-23 | Bulls +9 v. Celtics | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Two teams on winning streaks as the Bulls have won three straight and the Celtics have won two straight. But Boston has not been covering many lines as they have been overvalued by oddsmakers and they haven’t been playing at their top level. They have covered only one of their last four games. Chicago covered in all three of their recent wins. We expect a hard fought game here. The Bulls typically bring their A Game when playing Boston. They are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and they have covered four straight in Boston. We were planning to take the Bulls here and thought the line would be closer to 6, so there is excellent value here tonight. |
|||||||
01-09-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Canadiens OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Montreal’s defense has been a sieve as they have given up at least four goals in seven straight matches. They have given up 36 total goals during that stretch. That’s a real good sign for the Kraken. They have 18 goals in their last three games, including eight last time out at Ottawa. All signs point to them having another big offensive night tonight. Montreal scored five goals last time out vs. St. Louis, and they should be able to get their share here at home to get this one over the posted number. |
|||||||
01-08-23 | Lions v. Packers -4.5 | 20-16 | Loss | -110 | 127 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #460 Green Bay Packers over Detroit Lions (8:20p.m., Sunday, January 8 NBC) This line may change depending on the results of the Seahawks game taking place earlier in the day. Either way, I expect the Lions to play to win, but that is not something they have done very often at Lambeau Field over the last 4 decades. Detroit has won only 3 times at Green Bay since 1992. The Packers know that they just have to win, and they will earn the No. 7 seed in the playoffs and a likely trip to the Bay Area next week. The home team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 games between Green Bay and Detroit. The Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games. |
|||||||
01-08-23 | Chargers v. Broncos +3 | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 123 h 37 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #470 Denver Broncos over Los Angeles Chargers (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 8 CBS) Denver has gotten clarity on their coaching situation and they played better last week. The Chargers do not have much to play for in this game and would not be surprised if they rest a few of their starters. Denver has won 4 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams and all 4 of those victories came as an underdog. The Broncos are 3-0 straight-up (3-0 ATS) as well in the last 3 games against the Chargers played in Denver. QB Wilson wants to finish the season on a high note and look for that to occur on Sunday. |
|||||||
01-08-23 | Ohio State v. Maryland -1 | 73-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #846 Maryland -1 over Ohio State (1p.m., Sunday, January 8 ESPN) Ohio State is coming off another bad loss which they led by 3 with under 40 seconds to go and lost in regulation. Maryland has been a sinking ship as well, but they have talent and sooner or later they will start to make their 3 pointers. Maryland is 10-3 ATS in their last 3 home games. |
|||||||
01-07-23 | Pelicans v. Mavs -7 | Top | 117-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
We took the Celtics for a big play last time out against the Mavs after their embarrassing loss to the Thunder and they destroyed Dallas by nearly 30. Now we are going to back Dallas with the same philosophy, backing a good team after an embarrassing loss. They didn’t show up in that game, and they will no doubt produce a better effort here win or lose. They come in rested, while the Pelicans are on a B2B after a game they probably wanted more in Brooklyn last night that was hard fought but ended up a loss. New Orleans is not a very deep team, and they are missing two of their Big Three and we think their lineup will be lacking here in the B2B. Dallas has been an awful ATS team this season, but that can turn around. We think they have a great chance for a blowout here. |
|||||||
01-07-23 | Red Wings v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Toronto has dominated this series. They have won eight straight meetings, and seven of those have come by multiple goals. They are rested and at home here and catching the Red Wings on the second end of a back-to-back. The Leafs are coming off a shellacking here at the hands of the Kraken last time out, so we expect them to be focused here. We see them really teeing off late in the game as the Wings should be pretty worn out to finish this one. |
|||||||
01-06-23 | Clippers v. Wolves -3.5 | 115-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The Clippers look to have hit rock bottom last night with a 30+-point loss in Denver. Now they are on a back-to-back against a surging Timberwolves team that has won two straight. We don’t know what roster moves Ty Lue will do tonight, as Kawhi and/or George may site the second end of the B2B. But if they both do play, that is probably a sign of pure desperation. Both were ineffective last night. In fact, no starter scored in double digits. |
|||||||
01-06-23 | Coyotes v. Blackhawks -1.5 | 0-2 | Win | 220 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
All three games on this road trip for Arizona have been multiple-goal losses. This team is not playing well at the moment. They are facing a worse team tonight than any of their recent opponents, but they are on a back to back here and playing their third game in four nights, so we don’t see things going well for them against a rested Blackhawks squad. |
|||||||
01-05-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 124-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
The Mavs have won seven in a row, while the Celtics have been blown out in two straight and lost to OKC by 30+ last time out. Yet the Celtics are still favored here on the road. That tells us a lot. We always like to take a good team after an embarrassing loss. The Celtics certainly fit the bill here as they are arguably the best team in the NBA. And that loss is certainly embarrassing, but it’s also forgivable. During the long grind of the NBA season, teams just don’t always show up to play. But after a real poor effort, we expect the Celtics to bring their A Game tonight in Dallas. The Celtics have covered in 12 of 17 meetings here and they are the much better team. We think they show it tonight. |
|||||||
01-05-23 | Rangers v. Canadiens OVER 6 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
The Canadians have allowed 30 goals in their last five matches, and we expect the Rangers to be able to light up the scoreboard tonight. Montreal has scored seven goals in their last three. While that isn’t a lot, they should be able to contribute enough goals here at home to get this one over the posted total. The over is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings in Montreal, and we think that trend will continue here on Thursday. |
|||||||
01-05-23 | Purdue v. Ohio State -1.5 | 71-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #760 Ohio State over Purdue (7p.m., Thursday, January 5 FS1) Purdue has the best team in the Big 10, but Matt Painter just does not seem able to close the deal. They had been treading water of late and Rutgers got them on Monday in West Lafyette. Now they face a better team on the road and I look for Purdue to suffer their second straight setback. Since a bad loss to North Carolina, Ohio State has won 3 straight games in blowout fashion. Purdue is 6-18 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 27 games. Ohio State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against teams with a winning road record. |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Colorado State v. Nevada -4 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #730 Nevada over Colorado State (10:30p.m., Wednesday, January 4 FS1) Nevada has some depth issues but will be able to beat Colorado State at home tonight by double digits. Colorado State has a bad defense and thus Nevada should be able to light up the scoreboard tonight at Lawler Events Center. The Rams are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a winning record. The Wolf Pack are 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games. |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Lightning v. Wild UNDER 6.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending heavily to the under with a combined 14-5-1 to the under in their last 20 combined games. We think that trend will continue tonight. Tampa Bay’s defense has been elite lately and they have allowed only six goals in their last four games, so the Wild will have to work hard for goals tonight. We don’t see either team lighting up the scoreboard tonight and think this will be mostly a defensive battle. |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Suns v. Cavs UNDER 217 | Top | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
The Suns offense is really struggling right now. They have scored 104 or fewer points in four of their last six games and put up only 83 last time out vs. the Knicks. Things won’t get any easier for them tonight against the Cavs, the No. 1 defensive team for points allowed this season. The Suns are a pretty good defensive team also, so they will have to rely on that facet of the game to stay competitive here and Cleveland probably isn’t going to light up the scoreboard tonight. The under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Cleveland, and we expect another low scoring game here tonight. |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Wizards v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 113-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
This is the perfect revenge spot for the Bucks, who lost to Washington here on this same floor in a blowout Sunday. Antetokounmpo and Holiday, the Bucks two best players this season, missed that game but both should be back here. Milwaukee has lost five of six, so there should be a sense of urgency here tonight. Four of those losses were on the road, and three were to the other top teams in the east, so it’s not like they have been beaten by a bunch of bad teams. This looks like a good spot for a blowout win and revenge. |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Canadiens v. Predators -1.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 115 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
Montreal is in the worst form of any NHL team right now. They have lost eight of nine games. They have a goal differential of -17 in their last four games. Nashville is a solid team that has been playing .500 hockey in their last six games, but their three losses have come to Colorado (OT), Dallas by one goal, and Vegas (OT). So even in their losses they have been very competitive. But we don’t think they will pass up this chance for a big win here over a struggling team. In Montreal’s eight recent losses, only two have come by one goal. Nashville has won six of seven in this series, and three of the last four wins have come via multiple goals. This one looks like a major mismatch to us. |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Nebraska v. Michigan State OVER 131.5 | 56-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #613 Over in Nebraska @ Michigan State (7p.m., Tuesday, January 3 BTN) Nebraska has not been able to slow down opponents and I see Sparty scoring close to 80 points in this game. Michigan State has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 home games. Both teams need to show they can score in the seventies if they want to consistently win games in the Big 10. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Heat v. Clippers -2.5 | 110-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
The Clippers finished out their road trip with two losses and they need a win here. We think they will get it against a Heat team that is banged up right now. The Clippers will have close to a full roster tonight and are one of the deepest teams in the league. The Heat are 1-7 ATS in the last eight meetings, and Miami has been one of the worst teams for bettors this season at 13-22-2 ATS. |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
These teams are a combined 41-29 to the under on the season. These are two solid defensive clubs, and we expect this to be a defensive match. It usually is when these teams meet up, as seven of nine meetings have gone under the posted total, including four straight. The last three for Colorado have gone over, due mainly to opponents scoring, but that followed a long string of unders, and the under is 21-13 for Colorado as a whole this season. Vegas has been trending to the under, with two of the last three going under the posted number. |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Bellarmine v. North Alabama +1.5 | 69-65 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #306874 North Alabama +1.5 over Bellarmine (7p.m., Monday, January 2 ESPN+) Atlantic Sun play continues on Sunday with a pair of teams battling at Flowers Hall in Florence, AL. The Lions are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-02-23 | Mississippi State v. Illinois | Top | 19-10 | Win | 100 | 139 h 22 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #277 Mississippi State Bulldogs over Illinois Fighting Illini (11a.m., Monday, January 2 ESPN2) ReliaQuest Bowl. Bowl Game of the Year. Just feel Mississippi State wants to send out the pirate with a win. The Bulldogs have most of their key players and have promoted from within to take over for Mike Leach next season. Mississippi State is making their 13th straight bowl appearance and I feel that Illinois got exposed during the second half of the season. They lost 3 of their last 4 games including two home games against so-so teams in Michigan State and Purdue. The Illini have a strong defense, but their competition was not of SEC caliber offenses, and they will be without CB Witherspoon for this game. The Bulldogs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. The Fighting Illini are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Expect a low scoring game that the Bulldogs win straight-up and end the Mike Leach era on a positive note. |
|||||||
01-01-23 | UCLA v. Washington +10.5 | 74-49 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #830 Washington over UCLA (7p.m., Sunday, January 1 PAC12N) Just do not see a blowout in this second game for UCLA against the Washington schools. UCLA was taken down to the wire by Washington State and I see a similar result in this game. Washington is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-01-23 | Vikings v. Packers -3 | Top | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 120 h 46 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #128 Green Bay over Minnesota (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 1 CBS) The Packers continue to win games of late. We expect them to run the table and make the playoffs. Minnesota has already clinched the division and they luck in one score games continues to be impressive. When they lose, they seem to lose big and that is what we are looking for on Sunday afternoon. Minnesota is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a losing record. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings between Minnesota and Green Bay. |
|||||||
01-01-23 | Jets v. Seahawks +2 | 6-23 | Win | 100 | 95 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #124 Seattle Seahawks over New York Jets (4:05p.m., Sunday, January 1 FOX) The bettors continue to pound the Jets and it has not been paying any dividends of late. This team is terrible on offense, and I do not believe Mike White will be able to save them in this game. Seattle is in freefall as well, but they have been going up against some good teams and I feel they are better than their recent play indicates. The Jets had their chance last Thursday, when they were favored at home against Jacksonville with weather playing a role. Seattle is 10-0 ATS in their last 10 home games when coming off back-to-back underdog losses. Seattle has won 4 straight games against New York (4-0 ATS as well). Geno Smith gets revenge as the Hawks get a much-needed victory at home. |
|||||||
01-01-23 | Dolphins v. Patriots -2.5 | 21-23 | Loss | -122 | 92 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #118 New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins (1p.m., Sunday, January 1 CBS) Teddy Bridgewater is back trying to resurrect the struggling Dolphins. I do not see them playing well in this cold weather game in Foxboro on Sunday. Miami has lost 4 straight games, and this will be their 4th road game in their last 5 games. The Dolphins are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | TCU +7.5 v. Michigan | 51-45 | Win | 100 | 96 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #276 TCU Horned Frogs over Michigan Wolverines (4p.m., Saturday, December 31 ESPN) Not many people are giving TCU a chance in this game after they lost to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game. I feel they have the talent on both sides of the football to make this a competitive game for 60 minutes. TCU is a very veteran team with a ton of talent returning from last season and I really like their quarterback, Max Duggan. Coach Harbaugh does not have a great record in bowls at Michigan and if TCU can stabilize this game early expect panic for the favored Michigan to set in. Michigan is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 bowl games. That includes going 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played in December. TCU is 9-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 games. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Utah +3 v. Stanford | Top | 71-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #729 Utah over Stanford (4p.m., Saturday, December 31 PAC-12N) The Cardinal just cannot put together a solid season under Jerod Hasse. He has had talented players and experience but has yet to reach the NCAA Tournament and this will be his last year at the farm. Utah continues to improve in year two of Craig Smith and they returned most of their talent from last season. They are 3-0 in conference play and do not have any bad losses on the season. They also have the best player on the floor in Branden Carlson and if they keep winning games like this, they will be an NCAA Tournament team coming March. The Tues are 17-6 ATS (1 push) after allowing less than 50 points to their opponent in their previous game. Stanford is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games played on Saturdays. Maples Pavilion during the holiday break will not provide any atmosphere or home crowd edge for the home team. Utah wins this game straight-up. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Jazz v. Kings -3 | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
Utah has not been playing great on the road and is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The Kings shine has worn off since the start of the season as this team has been inconsistent. But they are healthy here and this line is more than fair. This homestand hasn’t been the best, but they head on the road after the new year so we think this game is a priority to get a win and salvage the homestand. Utah hasn’t looked very good the last couple games and even lost to the Spurs. They are 7-13 on the road and we think they are in for another tough game tonight. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Devils v. Penguins UNDER 6.5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Six of the last seven have gone under for the Devils. They are having offensive issues right now and their defense has been just good enough to keep the opponent from lighting up the scoreboard. Only one of the past six meetings have gone over this posted total. Both teams trend to the under on the season, and we think this will be another low scoring contest. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | NC State v. Clemson -1.5 | 64-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #868 Clemson -2 over NC State (4p.m., Friday, December 30 ACCN) Just do not trust middle of the pack ACC teams to win road games. Clemson is always a tough out at home and look for that to continue on Friday afternoon. NC State is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Clemson is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Clippers +7 v. Celtics | Top | 110-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Boston has been the best team in the NBA to start the season, but now that the Clippers are healthy, they have possibly the strongest roster in the league. They should have most of the squad playing tonight, and this is just too many points. The Celtics were in a big slump but have won three straight, but wins over Minnesota and Houston don’t really move the needle. Just don’t think this club is in top form right now. The Clippers always seem to play well in Boston, where they are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings, and we think they bring their A Game tonight. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Canadiens v. Panthers UNDER 6.5 | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the under recently. The Canadiens are in a big time offensive drought and they have only four goals in their last three games. We are shocked this line isn’t at 5.5, and there is very nice value here. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Green Bay +15 v. Detroit | 59-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. #695 Green Bay over Detroit (7p.m., Thursday, December 29 ESPN+) Green Bay is awful and Coach Will Ryan (Son on Bo) is squarely fighting for his job. That being said, I feel they can keep this game under the posted number with the slow style of play. Green Bay is 11-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 games played on Thursdays. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Arkansas v. LSU +4.5 | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #640 LSU over Arkansas (9p.m., Wednesday, December 28 ESPN2) We will follow the line movement in this game. Arkansas is without two key players and LSU has the best offensive player on the floor in KJ Williams. LSU is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games played on Wednesdays. |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Oklahoma State v. Wisconsin -3 | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 174 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #244 Wisconsin Badgers over Oklahoma State Cowboys (10:15p.m., Tuesday, December 27 ESPN) We will follow the line movement in this game and side with the Badgers, favored by around a field goal. Both teams have a top of players out for this game including starting quarterbacks. Wisconsin has the better defense and running game. That should allow them to win this game by close to double digits. The Badgers have won 7 straight bowl games and went 5-1-1 ATS in those games. Oklahoma State is 1-4 straight-up in their last 5 games (1-4 ATS). This game may be ugly at times but expect the Badgers to win it and build towards the Luke Fickell era. |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Sharks v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
These are two of the top OVER teams in the NHL this season and they are a combined 40-25 to the over this season. These teams are rested after the break and we think there will be more fireworks tonight in Vancouver. These teams played early this month, and the scoring came early and often, with at least three goals in each of the three periods. That game made the over 5-0-1 in the last six meetings. We expect another close matchup and we think both teams will get their share of the total here. |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Clippers +5 v. Raptors | 124-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
The Clippers played last night so enter on a back-to-back but the starters played limited minutes and Kawhi was out, but he should play here and should bring his best against his former team. The Clips are the much better team and a deep club and they should be fine here. That the bench came back last night from a huge deficit in Detroit showed the depth of this Clippers team. |
|||||||
12-25-22 | Bucks v. Celtics UNDER 226.5 | 118-139 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
Both teams have struggled and we think this will be a lower-scoring, hard fought game. Boston is the more complete club right now and in slightly better form, and we see them putting together a strong showing in front of the home crowd today. The under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings, and both clubs will want a strong defensive showing under the bright lights today. |
|||||||
12-25-22 | Packers +4.5 v. Dolphins | 26-20 | Win | 100 | 117 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #475 Green Bay Packers over Miami Dolphins (1p.m., Sunday, December 25 CBS) These two teams seem to be heading in opposite directions. The Dolphins have lost three straight games and the Packers have won two straight games. Both teams do their damage against bad teams in the league, but the Packers offense is coming alive of late. Green Bay has won 4 of the last 5 games against Miami including a 19-point victory the last time these two teams met. The young wide receivers of the Packers are starting to make plays and Rodgers seems intent on running the table to finish out the regular season. Green Bay is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games played on grass. Miami is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. The Packers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games against the Dolphins. |

12-24-22 | Raiders +3 v. Steelers | Top | 10-13 | Push | 0 | 100 h 45 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #473 Las Vegas Raiders over Pittsburgh Steelers (8:15p.m., Saturday, December 24 NFLN) The Mike Tomlin consecutive winning seasons will come to an end in 2022. The Raiders are the much more talented team on offense, and they will win this game straight-up. Just do not believe the Steelers have the weapons to exploit this suspect Raiders defense. The Raiders went into Pittsburgh last season and won by 9 points and expect a similar performance in this game. Las Vegas is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against Pittsburgh. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Raiders and Steelers. |

12-24-22 | Bengals -3.5 v. Patriots | 22-18 | Win | 100 | 93 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #459 Cincinnati Bengals over New England Patriots (1p.m., Saturday, December 24 CBS) Just too many weapons that Cincinnati has compared to New England. The Patriots do not have much confidence in Mac Jones, and he will be without his starting center for this game. Cincinnati dominated the second half against Tampa Bay last week and they will dominate some portion of this game as well. Cincinnati is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in December. New England is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 games played on Saturday. The fans have given up on the Patriots after their debacle last week and I do not see them being competitive in this game. |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Canucks v. Oilers -1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a great spot for the home team to get a dominating win. Vancouver is no good anyways, and they played an OT game last night while the Oilers are fresh entering this contest. Vancouver has allowed five goals in three straight games, and we think they will probably allow even more than that tonight. Vancouver hasn’t won in five straight meetings, and they are at a real disadvantage tonight. |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Pistons +9 v. Hawks | 105-130 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Atlanta has covered only two of their last nine games. Yet here they are laying another big number. They are 4-11 when laying more than three points. The Pistons are 12-3-3 when getting 7.5 or more. They have also covered in seven of the last 10 meetings. We expect a very competitive game here. |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Wake Forest -1 v. Missouri | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 74 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #231 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Missouri Tigers (6:30p.m., Friday, December 23 ESPN) Really like Sam Hartman and feel he can outscore Missouri and win this game. Wake Forest had a disappointing finish to the season losing 4 of their last 5 games, but it was not because of their offense. They struggled because of their pass defense and I am just not sure Missouri can take advantage of this. Wake Forest does better out of ACC play, covering the spread in 5 of their last 6 nonconference games. Missouri is 2-12 ATS in their last 12 games played during the month of December. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Spurs +8.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Brandon Ingram has been out for the Pels but now the main member of the Big 3, Zion Williamson, will join him as he has been placed in Health and Safety protocols. We have no doubt players will step up in his absence, but we don’t think they will cover this big number. The Pels haven’t been playing great even with Zion in the lineup as they have lost four straight both SU and ATS heading into this matchup. And now they have to face the Spurs without their two best players. San Antonio was looking like the worst team in the NBA for awhile as they lost nine straight and didn’t cover in any of them. But they have been playing a lot better recently. They come in with confidence after a blowout win at Houston. They have won four of six and covered in all those wins as an underdog. They have covered in all seven of their most recent visits to New Orleans, and they have one of the best coaches in the league that probably devised a nice gameplan here with two days off to maximize the chance of being competitive here. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Arkansas-Little Rock v. Arkansas State -5.5 | 75-77 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #804 Arkansas State over Little Rock (3p.m., Thursday, December 22 ESPN+) Home court will be the difference in this game allowing the Red Wolves to win their third straight game. The Trojans have not won a true road game this season. UALR is 7-21 ATS in their last 28 road games. Arkansas State is 13-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Flyers v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -130 | 1 h 24 m | Show |
This is a great spot for a dominating Leafs win. They are coming off a big three-goal home win over Tampa Bay. Philly has dropped five of seven and they haven’t looked like the same squad they did at the start of the year. Toronto normally brings their A Game when these teams face off. They have covered the puckline in all of the last four meetings, all Toronto wins. They have a goal differential of +12 in those games and won all by three goals. This one could get even uglier for the road team today. |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Hornets v. Clippers OVER 224.5 | 105-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
The Clippers should have nearly a full squad tonight and at full strength this team should start to play better offensively. They should put up a big total on a Charlotte defense that is among the worst in the league. Charlotte is getting key players back recently and we think they will push the pace here. These teams played earlier this month and that was the Clippers highest scoring game of the month. They could do even better tonight with a more dangerous roster. |
|||||||
12-21-22 | St. Mary's v. Wyoming +8.5 | 66-54 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #732 Wyoming over Saint Mary’s (8:30p.m., Wednesday, December 21 ESPN+) This is a fade play against Saint Mary’s, as they are not the same team as they have been the last decade. They always play a home/neutral site schedule and will not travel well for this game in Phoenix. We will grab the points with the team from a stronger conference, as we expect this game to go down to the wire. |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Avalanche | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Colorado has been winning, but their offense hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard. This total is 5.5, and we agree this should be a low scoring contest. That makes the plus goals puckline great on the value scale. When these teams meet it always tends to be close, and we think that’s the case again tonight. |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Flames v. Sharks +162 | 7-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
These teams played here Sunday and the game was pretty close throughout until the Flames got three quick goals at the start of the third period. We think the Sharks will make some adjustments here and it’s very difficult to beat the same team twice in consecutive games, with both in San Jose. The Sharks will have their best goalie in net as Reimer is likely in here, while backup Kahkonen was in goal Sunday. San Jose has won five of the last eight meetings, and we expect a much better performance tonight. |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Oklahoma +3.5 v. Florida | 62-53 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #635 Oklahoma over Florida (9:30p.m., Tuesday, December 20 ESPN2) Just believe Oklahoma is farther along in year two under Porter Moser compared to year one under Todd Golden. Both teams have lost some games during the nonconference portion of the season, but I like the rotation of the Sooners led by transfer Grant Sherfield. Florida is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games following a win in their previous game. Oklahoma is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Warriors v. Knicks UNDER 222 | 94-132 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
The Knicks have gone under the total in eight of nine and this team is playing the best defense in the league recently. During this streak, they have held four opponents under the century mark, and two finished in the 80s. With Curry out, the Warriors of course aren’t as potent offensively. They are a banged up team right now and we think they have a poor night. The Knicks have covered seven straight games and we expect another great defensive effort tonight. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Canadiens +105 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
Great value on the Canadiens here. We had them as a slight favorite here and think they have a great chance to break their losing streak. Arizona has been playing better, but they have a ton of one-goal losses lately and they just don’t have that winning instinct yet. Montreal have lost three straight but they are the better team in this matchup and we think they bring their A Game to get back on the winning track in a very winnable matchup. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Magic v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Don’t get us wrong, the Magic are playing great basketball right now and their recent six-game winning streak has been impressive. Especially the last two games, a sweep of the best team in basketball, the Boston Celtics, in Boston. The streak also included a home win against these same Hawks. Atlanta is a much better home team (9-5) than road team (6-10). And this game was recent so this is a revenge spot for the Hawks. We have to remember that Orlando is only 11-20, so this current win streak includes more than half of their wins. They are Fat and Happy after the sweep of Boston. They are coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights while the Hawks have had two days off. Orlando has covered only one of the last five visits to Atlanta and they are 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall. Expect Orlando to play strong in the first half and then wilt down the stretch. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | College of Charleston v. Coastal Carolina OVER 150.5 | 83-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #813 Over in Charleston @ Coastal Carolina (7:30p.m., Monday, December 19 ESPN+) Both teams can light up the scoreboard and we expect that to occur tonight in Conway. The Cougars have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 road games. The Chanticleers have gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games played on Monday. The total has already gone up 5 points and we still do not feel it is enough. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Jets +137 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
Seattle have lost five of six and they just aren’t playing well at the moment. They were scorching hot before this losing streak, but wins and losses come in bunches in the NHL. Winnipeg have won six of eight, and they are in much better form right now. They are coming in on a back-to-back, but they have been very good in these situations this season at 3-1. They barely seemed to break a sweat in the blowout last night at Vancouver. The Jets have won all four lifetime meetings against the Kraken, and we think we are getting a great price here on a much better team. Winnipeg has also won five straight road games. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Bengals v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 34-23 | Loss | -108 | 100 h 44 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #328 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Cincinnati Bengals (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 18 CBS) Hard to take Tampa Bay after their showing last week in San Francisco, but this team is desperate and needs to win their remaining home games. The Bengals have been a covering machine this season, but now they are the hunted and giving points on the road is never easy. I still like the Tampa Bay defense better than the Cincinnati defense. The Bengals struggle to handle prosperity and the law of averages will bite them in this game. Tampa Bay is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games against Cincinnati. The Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between the Bengals and Bucs. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Bethune-Cookman v. Texas-San Antonio -5 | 69-90 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #306588 UTSA -6 over Bethune-Cookman (4p.m., Sunday, December 18) The Wildcats are 0-5 in road games this season. They are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Roadrunners are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight-up loss. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Magic +10.5 v. Celtics | 95-92 | Win | 100 | 1 h 48 m | Show | |
These teams played here Friday and Orlando won their fifth straight in an eight-point win. Boston will probably play a lot better here. But we think this line is still too large for a Magic team that is playing with tons of confidence right now. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Cowboys -4 v. Jaguars | 34-40 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #321 Dallas Cowboys over Jacksonville Jaguars (1p.m., Sunday, December 18 FOX) The Cowboys did not play well last week at home against Houston, but that gives us the value we need to make this a strong play. Jacksonville has lost 20 straight games against NFC teams. Dallas won the last meeting by a score of 40-7 and they will enter this game having won 4 straight games. The Cowboys are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games. Jacksonville is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games played in the month of December. Expect a big Dallas crowd for this game and they will see a double-digit victory for their team. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Wizards v. Clippers -7 | 93-102 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
Paul George is questionable here but Kawhi looks to play. We think there is a good chance both play. Regardless, this looks like a blowout. The Clippers rested everybody last time vs. Phoenix so they took a mulligan in that one. But they had won the previous three games and looked like the team we all expected coming into the season. This team doesn’t have a lot of room for error after a slow start. They are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings with Washington in LA. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Ohio State v. North Carolina -2.5 | Top | 84-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #644 North Carolina over Ohio State (3p.m., Saturday, December 17 CBS) We will follow the line movement, as an unranked team favored against a ranked team is always a strong play. Carolina was terrible during the early portion of the season but now they are undervalued. This team needs a quality win in the worst way, and they will get it on Saturday in New York City. Ohio State is gritty, but they do not have the talent that UNC does and were very lucky to win their last home game against Rutgers. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between UNC and Ohio State. North Carolina is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. Ohio State is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a victory in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Louisville v. Cincinnati +2 | 24-7 | Loss | -110 | 70 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #206 Cincinnati Bearcats over Louisville Cardinals (11a.m., Saturday, December 16 ESPN) Both teams are without their head coach, but what makes this game interesting is that Louisville’s coach is now the head man at Cincinnati. Some may think that that will inspire the Louisville players, but with so many players sitting out this game, look for Coach Satterfield to give the Bearcats the edge. He knows the players and coaches at Louisville and that will give Cincinnati the edge. Both starting quarterbacks are out for this game, but I see the backup at Cincinnati playing better between the two. Cincinnati will look to run the football with their quarterback and running backs. Louisville is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Islanders v. Coyotes +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
The Coyotes haven’t been winning a lot, but they have been playing well. They have played in seven one-goal games in their last nine matches. So they are likely to keep this one close at home, if not win outright. The Coyotes are actually one of the top betting teams in the NHL and they have a 17-10 record against the puckline, normally as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Kings -5.5 v. Pistons | Top | 122-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Sacramento has had somewhat of a tough road trip as they have dropped three of five. But this will be their easiest matchup on this road swing, so we think they bring their A Game here. The Kings have one of the best offenses in the league, and Detroit has one of the worst defenses. While the Kings defense isn’t going to win many accolades, they are better than Detroit, and the Detroit offense is one of the lowest ranked in the NBA. Sacramento normally plays well against bad teams. They are 6-1 ATS in their last seven against losing teams. They are 7-1 ATS in their last eight on the road against teams with a losing home record. We think this is a great chance for a double digit win. |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Xavier v. Georgetown +11 | 102-89 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #872 Georgetown over Xavier (6:30p.m., Friday, December 16 FS1) Why is Patrick Ewing still the coach at Georgetown? Maybe his team will show up and keep this game in single digits tonight Capital One Arena. My money is on a closer game than what the experts think. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Heat v. Rockets +4 | Top | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
Love the line value here as we had the Rockets as a slight favorite. Miami is the second worst betting team in the NBA at 9-19-1 ATS. They are just barely better than the worst betting team, Dallas. They are coming in on a back-to-back here after OKC took them to the brink last night. They won but didn’t cover, and we don’t see them playing a better game than they did last night. The Rockets have been playing well and have won three of four. They are 15-12 ATS on the season, meaning they are surpassing oddsmakers expectations on a regular basis. The Rockets have covered six straight at home, and we think they have a great chance to win outright. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Ducks v. Canadiens UNDER 6 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Both teams are struggling offensively. And the better team, Montreal, is on a back to back, which hampers their chance for a breakout game offensively. Anaheim has just one goal in their last three games, and they have been shut out in the last two. Montreal has five goals in their last three games. So add up the total of regulation goals scored by these teams in six games combined, and it wouldn’t get over this posted number. The under is 3-1 for the Canadiens on back to backs this season. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | Canucks v. Flames -1.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Calgary has won the last two meetings by multiple goals. In fact, five of the last six meetings have been decided by multiple goals, so we don’t think this will be a close game either. Vancouver is 5-17 in their last 22 meetings in Calgary, so they normally don’t play well here. Calgary hasn’t been playing their best consistently but they are the much stronger team and we think they flex their muscles tonight with a big win here. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | UCLA v. Maryland -1 | 87-60 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #664 Maryland over UCLA (9p.m., Wednesday, December 14 FS1) Maryland is on a two-game losing streak, but both losses came against ranked teams, and they are a much better team when playing at home. Look for them to shoot it well tonight from the arc and win this game by close to double digits. UCLA does not have any quality wins during the nonconference portion of the season, and I do not see that changing on Wednesday. They are not a strong as they were the last two years and look for them to struggle in this environment. UCLA is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. Maryland is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | Hawks v. Magic +3 | 124-135 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
Atlanta is banged up and this team stinks on the road. The Magic have two more wins at home than the Hawks have on the road. We had this game handicapped at PK and think the home team has a great chance to win outright. They have won three straight and covered four straight and are in much better form at the moment. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | Morocco +1 v. France | 0-2 | Loss | -102 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
It’s no fluke Morocco is here and they have advanced this far on the strength of the defense. They won’t be intimidated today. And the way this wacky World Cup has gone, it would be fitting for the Morocco side to advance. The favored Argentina rolled in their matchup against Croatia and we just find it hard to believe that things will be so easy for France. We expect another competitive matchup here and we think the underdog has nice betting value as goals will be hard to come by for both sides but Morocco always has a chance for a penalty or to sneak one through. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Coyotes v. Sharks -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Eight of the last 10 meetings have been decided by multiple goals, and we think the Sharks are the better team here despite having the same amount of wins as Arizona. The Sharks had a slow start to the season but have been playing much better. The home team is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings, and these matchups are rarely close. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Pelicans -1.5 v. Jazz | Top | 100-121 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
The Pelicans have won seven straight and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. Utah has lost two straight and three of four, and the shine has come off their hot start a bit. New Orleans has a better offense and a much better defense, and they should dominate this game on both sides. This team looks very headstrong this season and we don’t think they will have a letdown after a pair of big wins over the Suns. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Fairleigh Dickinson v. Richmond -16 | 48-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #306566 Richmond over Fairleigh Dickinson (7p.m., Tuesday, December 13 ESPN+) This is a big number, but the Knights have played a weak schedule thus far and this should be a get-well game for Richmond to move to .500 on the season. FSU is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 games against reams with a losing record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Croatia +0.5 v. Argentina | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 34 m | Show |
7-Unit Play Take Croatia +.5 (+110) over Argentina (2 p.m. EST, Tuesday Dec 13) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - need at least a draw at the end of regulation) Croatia deserves to be here and their run to the final four isn’t a fluke. Not much has come easy for the Argentines in this tournament, and we don’t think they are going to roll into the final without a challenge. Croatia isn’t going to light up the scoreboard here, but they can keep Argentina away from scoring. They have allowed only three goals so far in this tournament, and they allowed only one to a better Brazil side. This total is set at only two goals, so that makes the value at getting a half goal on the spread even stronger. We would not be shocked if this one is scoreless at the end of regulation, but even if Argentina scores, we think that Croatia will find a way to get one through to sent it to extra time. We just don’t see any scenario where Argentina runs away with this. |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Cavs -8.5 v. Spurs | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
We were on the Spurs for their last two wins, as we saw a slight upswing for them after losing nine games SU and ATS. Now they are fat and happy after two wins over Houston and Miami, two struggling teams, but now they are probably going to revert to their tanking ways and they face a true championship contender in Cleveland. Mitchell is questionable here. But we think the Cavs win by double digits whether he plays or not. This team plays excellent team basketball and the sum is greater than the individual parts. The Spurs are a struggling offensive team and the Cavs posses the No. 1 defense. San Antonio gives up more than 120 PPG, so we don’t think the Cavs will have any problem scoring enough to get this one over the posted number. Cleveland has covered in five of six meetings and four straight in San Antonio. |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Patriots -1 v. Cardinals | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 104 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #127 New England Patriots over Arizona Cardinals (8:15p.m., Monday, December 12 ESPN) This is a coaching mismatch and I feel New England does just enough this season to finish 9-8. In order to do that they must win this game, as Arizona is a sinking ship at the moment. The Patriots have beaten the Cardinals in 7 of the last 8 games. Arizona has lost 4 of their last 5 games and 10 of their last 11 home games. It might not be pretty, but the Patriots will find a way to win this game. New England is 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a double-digit loss at home. Finally, the Cardinals are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Monday games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Flames v. Canadiens +1.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Montreal is much improved this season but they are lined like they were last year quite a bit. They normally bring their best against Canadian counterparts and we think they will challenge for the win here. Calgary has lost two straight, so they aren’t in the best form now even though they are the better team on paper. Montreal has won the last four meetings. |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Wisconsin +4.5 v. Iowa | 78-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #783 Wisconsin +4 over Iowa (6:30p.m., Sunday, December 11 BTN) Wisconsin may be due for a letdown, but the talent of Iowa without Kris Murray is just not there. This line is an overaction to the Hawkeyes dominating win on Thursday over Iowa State. This is a conference game that should go down to the wire and we will try and squeeze a little more out of Wisconsin this season (We are 5-0 with them thus far). Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Kings v. Knicks UNDER 232.5 | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
Six of the last nine for the Kings have gone under the posted number. The oddsmakers have just adjusted these totals too high on a nightly basis. We think that is the case here again tonight. The Knicks have gone under in five straight, so they are trending the right way here as well. Eleven of the last 14 meetings have gone under the total. |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Panthers -159 | 5-2 | Loss | -159 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Maybe the Kraken aren’t as legit as we thought previously. After winning seven straight they are now trending the other way and have lost three straight. Things won’t get any easier tonight in Florida. The Panthers lost yesterday against their nemesis, Tampa Bay, but they had been playing very well before that, and we think this is a great bounce back spot against a struggling team. One of those losses on the current skid for Seattle was 5-1 to Florida at home, and we see a similar result here. |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Panthers v. Seahawks -3.5 | 30-24 | Loss | -110 | 123 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Seattle Seahawks over Carolina Panthers (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 11 FOX) The line is low considering the Hawks have a huge home field advantage and Carolina is finishing out the season with an interim coach. Seattle is 10-4 straight up against Carolina and that includes going 2-1 against them in the playoffs. The Panthers are 0-4 ATS the last 4 years following a bye week. Geno Smith continues to impress and if his defense can stop the run they will win this game by double-digits. Carolina is 2-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games played during the month of December. Seattle is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games played during Week 14 of the regular season. |

12-10-22 | Arizona v. Indiana | 89-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #711 Arizona over Indiana (7:30p.m., Saturday, December 10 FOX) Just not that impressed with Indiana thus far in 2022. They are struggling to score points and that will be an issue against this Arizona team as well. Las Vegas is the site for this game and expect a strong Arizona fan base to make the short flight north to support their Cats. The Hoosiers have played a pretty easy schedule thus far, but he gets harder with Arizona and Kansas their next two games. Beating North Carolina at home is not that good of a win with the Tar Heels in freefall at the moment. Both teams lost a conference game this season, but I just feel Arizona will go on a big scoring run at some point in this game and Indiana will not be able to keep up. |

12-10-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 114-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
To say this road trip has been rough for the Clippers would be an understatement. They have lost two straight, against the Magic in OT and then at the Heat. This is a long season, but this seems like a very crucial game for the struggling Clippers. We never know who will start for LA as their two stars are never a sure thing to make it on the court. But it’s very likely the Big Two should play here. Even if one of them doesn’t, this line will likely swing, but we won’t be deterred if it does. We think this is a great chance for a double digit win even if PG or Kawhi sit. Washington is coming in on a back-to-back. They are banged up as well. They haven’t been playing well, either. But the biggest thing is that we expect the Clippers to play with a sense of urgency here as a loss or another bad game might be the time to hit the panic button. We don’t think that will be needed, however, as we expect a comfortable win and we think the stock will be rising in the coming weeks for LA. Oh yeah, and they have covered in five of the last six meetings, so they normally play well against this opponent. |

12-10-22 | Sabres +185 v. Penguins | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Love the Sabres in this spot. This is a continuation of their game last night in Buffalo, where the Sabres lost 4-3 in overtime. They played well and deserved to win but it didn’t work out. But we think with the back-to-back games that it minimizes home ice a bit for the Penguins, and it’s very tough to beat a team twice in two nights. Not to mention the Sabres have been playing excellent hockey as before the Pittsburgh loss they had won three of four and scored 23 goals in the process. This game last night was a defensive battle throughout, and we don’t think the Pittsburgh defense will play as well with fatigue. Buffalo has the better offense and we think they have a great chance to win at a very nice price here. |

12-10-22 | Navy v. Army OVER 32.5 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 46 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #103 Over in Navy Midshipmen vs Army Black Knights (3p.m., Saturday, December 10 CBS) Sooner or later a matchup between Army and Navy will go over the posted number. That day is Saturday, as you do not see a total this low very often in college football. The Under has hit 18 of the last 21 meetings, but the law of averages says that this total is over adjusted. Army has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. Navy has gone over the posted total in 5 straight games against teams with a losing record. |

12-10-22 | France v. England OVER 2 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 48 m | Show |
Outstanding value on the over here. Both sides have been excellent offensively here in this World Cup. England have 12 goals in their four matches. France have nine goals in their four matches. Both sides are outstanding defensively, but we think the offenses will shine here on Saturday. We lean to France to win this one and we expect an aggressive attack and a probable early goal that should open the game up wide. Then we think both sides will go all out to score. We think this is a likely 2-1 final but it would not surprise us if this one was even more high scoring than that. |

12-09-22 | Pistons +11 v. Grizzlies | 103-114 | Push | 0 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
The Pistons were a sexy pick to be an improved team this season and possibly sneak into the play in tourney. They got off to a slow start and had some major injuries to deal with. But this team has been getting healthier and playing better. They have been a particularly good bet when getting big points, and they are 7-2 ATS when getting double digit points on the spread. These teams played recently in Detroit and Memphis won by 10. We just don’t see them replicating a double digit win in two games so close together. |

12-09-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Capitals -135 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Wins and losses normally come in bunches in the NHL and we are going to fade Seattle here. After seven straight wins, the Kraken have lost two straight and looked awful doing it. At home, they have been outscored 9-3 by Montreal and Florida. Things won’t get easier here on the road against the Capitals. |

12-09-22 | Argentina v. Netherlands OVER 2 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 33 m | Show |
Both sides broke out on the offensive end in their last match, and we think that scoring will carry over here. Argentina has scored in 13 straight international matches. The Netherlands have scored in 15 straight. So there’s very little chance for a clean sheet for either side here. After a poor first match, Argentina have scored twice in each of their last three matches. Those were against some strong defensive sides. Netherlands have five goals in their last two matches, so they have caught the scoring bug. We think the winner here has at least two goals in regulation, and we see both sides scoring at least once, and multiple goals by each side isn’t too far-fetched. |

12-09-22 | Brazil v. Croatia UNDER 2.75 | Top | 0-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 22 m | Show |
Croatia have allowed only two goals in four matches so far. They are going to have to give it their all defensively if they want to have a chance to advance here. Everyone saw Brazil score four last time out vs. South Korea, but we don’t think they will repeat that kind of performance here. Their two matches before were both 1-0 wins, and that is the kind of result we expect here. |

12-08-22 | Michigan v. Minnesota +5 | 90-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #882 Minnesota over Michigan (9p.m., Thursday, December 8 BTN) Tough spot for Michigan having to fly back from London late Sunday night and now must open Big 10 play on the road at the barn. Michigan is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
