11-29-21 | Cavs +6.5 v. Mavs | 114-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland continues to be one of the best ATS teams in the league at 13-7 ATS, and they have covered in their last three games as well. The Mavs are one of the worst ATS teams this season and they are regularly overrated by the oddsmakers. No one wants to bet this team with no stars, and the Mavs have some star power that hasn’t translated into the expected success on the court this season. In fact, these teams have very similar records, and we expect a close game tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Pacers v. Wolves OVER 216.5 | 98-100 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Minnesota is trending to the over and three straight games and four of five have gone over the posted total. Also, four of the last five meetings have gone over the posted number. The Pacers are the better defensive team, but they are coming in on a back-to-back and we think Minnesota will bring the pace here tonight. The Pacers will be use their energy to run instead of on defense. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Magic +14 v. 76ers | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
When a team is catching this many points, you have to look for a reason to back them. Since these are normally bad teams, you need to usually look at the other team and see if there are chinks in the armor. In our opinion, Philly hasn’t played like a team that should be laying this many points. They have covered in only two of their last 10 games. They are finally getting healthy, but this team hasn’t exactly been dominant when healthy this season. We think the Magic will be competitive in this one, and the players are probably even aware of this huge point spread and could use it for fire. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Iowa v. Virginia -1.5 | 75-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #806 Virginia over Iowa (7p.m., Monday, November 29 ESPN2) Iowa has played cupcakes thus far in 2021 to amass a 6-0 record. This will be their first game against a real opponent and Virginia is not the type of team you want to play in this situation. Iowa is 0-8 in their last 8 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Virginia is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Pistons v. Lakers UNDER 215.5 | 106-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a battle against the teams involved in that dustup over a LeBron James elbow last week, and as a result this game will be more contentious than a regular season game against two teams playing badly normally would. We see a hard-fought game on both sides where both teams step up the defensive intensity, and the Pistons are very bad offensively and will have to rely on pace and defense to stay within striking distance and a chance for a win here. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Browns v. Ravens -3.5 | 10-16 | Win | 100 | 103 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #272 Baltimore Ravens over Cleveland Browns (8:20 p.m., Sunday, November 28 NBC) Cleveland is in disarray at the quarterback position, as Baker Mayfield continues to play poorly and is also injured. Baltimore survived last week without their starting quarterback and should play much better this week with Lamar Jackson back behind center. Cleveland is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games prior to a bye and had to hang on for dear life last week against the winless Lions. Cleveland is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against the NFC North. Baltimore is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against Cleveland. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Stanford v. Colorado -3.5 | 76-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Colorado -4 over Stanford (7p.m., Sunday, November 28 PAC12N) Stanford has never put together a strong season under Jerod Haas and I do not expect this will be the year he turns it around. Both of their losses have come by blowouts and this game double be a double-digit victory for the home team. Stanford is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The favorite has covered 5 of the last 7 matchups between Stanford and Colorado. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies -3 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Both teams have similar records, but the Grizzlies have a much higher ceiling and they have underachieved to start the season, while the Kings have been what we expected from them. And we are getting a nice line here because Morant, the best player on the court for Memphis, is missing. But this team still has a lot of talent, and their offense has been humming lately. In a game that won’t feature much defense, we see the home team pulling away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||

11-28-21 | Chargers -2.5 v. Broncos | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #265 Los Angeles Chargers over the Denver Broncos (4:05 p.m., Sunday, November 28 CBS) Denver returns after their bye week to host the Chargers, a team that is much better than them on offense. Denver is 11-23 ATS in their last 34 divisional games. Philadelphia won at Denver last time out, and Los Angeles won a Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. Denver is just 2-5 in their last 7 games, and they will likely be making a coaching change come season’s end. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors v. Clippers UNDER 215.5 | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Both teams combined are 24-14 to the under this season. The Warriors have one of the best defenses in the NBA this season. They are No. 1 in points allowed, and the Clippers aren’t far behind at No. 3. The problem is with LA is that they can’t get consistent scoring, and that is why they are struggling. We don’t think we can count on their offense here, but they should play solid defense against the dynamic Golden State offense. We don’t see them in a shootout here, so they will have to rely on their defense to keep them in the game. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Titans +6.5 v. Patriots | 13-36 | Loss | -101 | 96 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #251 Tennessee Titans over New England Patriots (1 p.m., Sunday, November 28 CBS) Everyone is on the Patriots bandwagon with the way they have been playing of late. Tennessee was embarrassed last week at home against Houston, but good teams usually bounce back when that happens, and today will be no different. New England has not been as strong of a team at home compared to on the road, and this is just too many points to be giving against an 8-3 team. Tennessee is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Notre Dame -19 v. Stanford | 45-14 | Win | 100 | 79 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #207 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Stanford Cardinal (8 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FOX) Not sure why this is a primetime game since Stanford is one of the worst teams in college football this season. They are ravaged with injuries, and they are playing a team that is desperate to make a statement. Notre Dame still has a shot to make the CFP with some help and looked good last week destroying Georgia Tech by a score of 55-0. Stanford has gotten blown out the last three week by Utah, Oregon State, and Cal. Notre Dame is better than all those teams. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Suns v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 113-107 | Loss | -101 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
We think this is a great spot for the Nets, who have been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately. They are well rested here after having two nights off after a big win over Boston on Wednesday, while the Suns are on a back-to-back. They played a physical Knicks team last night. Phoenix has been playing extremely well overall lately, but they have had a very busy schedule this week and this road trip will start to wear on them. Brooklyn has had a lot of success in this series as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. And since these teams don’t see each other often, that trend stretched back for years. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Wisconsin v. Minnesota +7 | 13-23 | Win | 100 | 75 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #184 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Wisconsin Badgers (4 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FOX) Every year this game is played for Paul Bunyan’s Ax, but this year the game may also mean a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game. Nebraska showed last week that you can score points and move the football against this Wisconsin defense, and Minnesota should have similar success as well. Minnesota has the defense to stop the Wisconsin rushing attack. And if that happens, I do not believe QB Mertz can beat them through the air. It is very simple for Minnesota to take this game down to the wire, stop the run and avoid turnovers. The underdog is 9-4 ATS (1 push) in the last 14 matchups between Wisconsin and Minnesota. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Indiana v. Purdue -15 | Top | 7-44 | Win | 100 | 74 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #174 Purdue Boilermakers over Indiana Hoosiers (3:30 p.m., Saturday, November 27 FS1) BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR It can be dangerous laying this many points in the Old Oaken Bucket Game, but Indiana is the worst team in the Big Ten. Injuries have taken their toll on this team, and they have scored over 15 points just one time since September. The Hoosiers are just 2-9 ATS and are one of a handful of teams without a conference win in 2021. Purdue has covered the spread in 4 straight games against Indiana and are 9-3 ATS dating back to 2008. For Purdue to win and cover they need to take care of the football on offense and pressure the Indiana quarterback. If they do that, they should win by 20+ points. Purdue is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against Indiana in West Lafayette. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Oklahoma v. UCF +1.5 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #614 Central Florida over Oklahoma (2p.m., Saturday, November 27 ESPN+) UCF returns a ton of talent from last season and this is a team that should challenge for an NCAA come March. Oklahoma lost three starters from last season, and they also have a new coach and system in 2021. The Sooners are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games. That includes going 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. UCF already beat a similar team to Oklahoma in Miami and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Celtics -3 v. Spurs | Top | 88-96 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 48 m | Show |
Boston had been playing very well recently until they ran into a hot Brooklyn team and had kind of a bad loss on Wednesday. We think that was just a hiccup and this is a great spot for them to bounce back and get on track. Boston has found their defense and they have probably been playing some of the best defense in the NBA throughout the last 10 or so games before the Brooklyn loss. We expect them to be focused here against a very beatable opponent, and this line is more than fair laying a small number on the road. Boston has bounced back well after a loss as they are 4-0 ATS after losing a game. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hawks v. Grizzlies OVER 224.5 | 132-100 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis has been trending to the over with five straight games going over the posted total. Their offense has been steadily improving while their defense has been allowing lots of points on a regular basis. They have allowed 120+ on average in their last three games. Atlanta is a team that can put up a lot of points against a bad defense. Memphis is dead last in the NBA in points allowed. We see a close game here, just like the oddsmakers, and we think both teams will get their points. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Avalanche -120 v. Stars | 1-3 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Colorado -130 over Dallas (Friday at 7:30pm) As per your selection, where is Dallas going to find the offensive game to keep up with the Avs and score as many goals as them? I don't see it happening. Colorado ranks first in goals per game and first in shooting percentage. They've won six in a row and with no immediate lookahead spot or anything to constitute a letdown spot tonight, the Avs are the better team and we are getting them at a great price. The Stars are on a small two-game winning streak but that ends tonight. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Canadiens -114 v. Sabres | 1-4 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Montreal -120 over Buffalo (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Montreal, sooner or later they are going to break out of the funk they are in and what better time to do it than tonight against a piss-poor Sabres team that has dropped four straight. The Habs will have the better roster in this game (which isn't saying much) but it's about time they start performing to what they're capable of. Buffalo is a disaster defensively and I expect Montreal to put a few past Tokarski here tonight. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Syracuse +6 v. Auburn | 68-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #857 Syracuse +5.5 over Auburn (4:30p.m., Friday, November 26 ESPN2) Auburn still has injuries to key players and they have played 15 more minutes in this tournament. Syracuse played much better last night, and I see them taking this game down to the wire on Friday. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Auburn is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Pistons +12.5 v. Clippers | 96-107 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers were ON during their seven-game winning streak, but that seems pretty far in the rearview mirror and this team is OFF right now. They have lost four of six SU and ATS, and three of those losses have been by double digits. That’s not the type of form where the more popular team should be laying double digits to anyone, even the rebuilding Pistons. Detroit is battle tested lately and they have played a bunch of playoff type teams lately. They have been very competitive and haven’t lost a game in blowout fashion in a handful of games against teams in better form than LA. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last seven after a loss. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hurricanes v. Flyers +133 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia +125 over Carolina (Friday at 3:30pm) As per your selection on Philadelphia, this is a fade of Carolina as this is their last game of a six-game road trip and first game out in the eastern time zone since Friday Nov 12. On their road trip, they were in Vegas, California and Seattle and have lost the last two games and with a day in between games, with cross-country travel, we see them being a bit sluggish here and Philly being a great price for grabbing a win tonight. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa -1 v. Nebraska | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 48 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #125 Iowa Hawkeyes over Nebraska Cornhuskers (1:30 p.m., Friday, November 26 BTN) Nebraska is 29-19 in this series all-time, but Iowa has won 6 straight games. All of Nebraska’s 8 losses this season were by single digits, but they are without their starting quarterback for this game. Iowa is one of the most overrated 9-2 teams in the country, but they will not beat themselves and I do not see a back-up quarterback lighting up the scoreboard against them. Iowa is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games as a road favorite. Nebraska is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Arizona State v. Syracuse -1.5 | 84-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #794 Syracuse over Arizona State (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN2) Syracuse shot the ball poorly yesterday and look for betting things today against another bad team. ASU lost their best player to Kansas in the offseason, and I do not expect much from them in 2021-2022. Arizona State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 neutral site games. Syracuse is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Maryland -1.5 v. Richmond | 86-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #811 Maryland over Richmond (7p.m., Thursday, November 25 CBSSN) Richmond just does not seem to challenge for NCAA Tournament bids anymore. They have a coach that just does the bare minimum to keep his job each season and they already have two losses on the season against teams that will not make the NCAA Tournament come March. Maryland has a bad loss to George Mason, but they were ranked at the start of the season for a reason, they have talent. These schools do not play often but expect Maryland to knock out this mid-major. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys UNDER 51.5 | 36-33 | Loss | -107 | 27 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #108 Under in Las Vegas Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (4:30 p.m., Thursday, November 25 CBS) This line has been coming down all week, and we still like the under. The Raider’s offense has left the building, and I do not see things getting any better in this game against a strong Cowboys defense. Las Vegas has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games when they are a road underdog. Dallas has gone under the posted total in 4 straight games. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Bears v. Lions +3 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 23 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #106 Detroit Lions over Chicago Bears (12:30 p.m., Thursday, November 26 FOX) Detroit has been playing better of late, and this is their last chance for a national audience in 2021. The Bears have not been a good team on Thanksgiving, either, losing five straight games on Turkey Day. The Bears had a great opportunity to beat Baltimore last week, a team that was without their starting quarterback and they fell flat at the end. Chicago is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against NFC North teams. Detroit is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Connecticut v. Michigan State +2.5 | 60-64 | Win | 100 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #787 Michigan State over Connecticut (12p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN) Just not sure how much gas UCONN has left in the tank after playing a double overtime game yesterday. Michigan State is not getting much love from the polls thus far in 2021 but they are still a solid NCAA Tournament team. Michigan State is 27-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 38 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Raptors v. Grizzlies OVER 217 | 126-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Raptors are trending to the over, with five of their last six games going over the posted total. They face a very good Memphis offense that has scored 119 or more in three of four games. Toronto has been strong defensively at times this season, but not lately. They have given up 118 or more in four of five games. Both teams are trending to the over, and we expect a barnburner here, where the Grizzlies pull away in the fourth quarter for the cover. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Suns v. Cavs +8 | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Suns have that gaudy 14-3 record, but the Cavs have a better ATS record than do the Suns. They are one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 11-7 ATS. They have been in a bit of a slide lately as they faced an incredibly brutal schedule lately. And they didn’t embarrass themselves in any of those games and were always competitive. The Suns have faced a slew of Western Conference teams lately. They have been playing well. We think they might take a breather here and not give 100% against an out of conference team that isn’t going to move the needle nationally. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 106-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Orlando defense is barely even trying lately and they have given up 115 or more in three straight games and five of the last seven. The Hornets have faced a bunch of really good defensive teams lately, but they should be able to put up a massive number here, and getting over 120 for them seems likely to us, so the Magic won’t need to score much even in a blowout. Four of five meetings have gone over the posted total, and the Hornets have scored 120 or more in both of the last two meetings. Despite their poor offense, Orlando is 10-8 to the over, meaning the oddsmakers are posting too low totals for them on a regular basis. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Wisconsin v. St. Mary's +2.5 | 61-55 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #762 Saint Mary’s (CA) over Wisconsin (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN) The Gaels are the most experienced team in the country and expect him to win the Maui Invitational today in Las Vegas. Wisconsin played over the heads yesterday and I do not believe they can rise to that level again on Wednesday. Saint Mary’s is a better version of Wisconsin especially shooting the basketball, as both teams like to slow the pace down and get the best shot late in the shot clock that they can get. Wisconsin is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | VCU v. Syracuse -4.5 | 67-55 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #748 Syracuse over VCU (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN2) VCU is not the same team we think of in past years. This team really has trouble scoring and playing in a conference room against a veteran zone team should not help those stats. VCU is 6-13 ATS int ehir last 19 games as an underdog. Syracuse is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Lakers v. Knicks UNDER 214 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
The Lakers need any win they can get right now and they didn’t give themselves the best chance to get that win tonight with LeBron James getting suspended. He just came back into the lineup, and the Lakers really needed him. We think the Knicks will dominate this one. They are back to playing their brand of defense that we have gotten used to. Their last seven games have gone under as a result. Their offense hasn’t been dynamic enough to put up a big number here, but their defense has been good enough to contain the Lakers offense. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Wisconsin +7.5 v. Houston | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #655 Wisconsin over Houston (5p.m., Tuesday, November 23 ESPN) This line is too high for a game with a total this low. Houston is the better team, but Wisconsin has experience and should be able to take this game down to the wire. Both teams beat bad teams on Monday and if Wisconsin can shoot it like they did the last 30 minutes they should have a chance to win this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | Top | 92-123 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
These teams played Saturday, same venue, and the Bucks won by only 9. Milwaukee is not in playoff form right now, but they keep getting lined by the oddsmakers like they are. The Bucks haven’t covered a spread in five games. They are 1-7 ATS at home. The Magic aren’t a very good team. But this is a revenge spot against a familiar opponent where they just played and kept the game within punching distance. We think there’s a great chance this game is even closer than the Saturday game. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Texas A&M v. Wisconsin -2.5 | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #850 Wisconsin -2.5 over Texas A&M (2p.m., Monday, November 22 ESPN2) Wisconsin’s best player should be back for this game, as Johnny Davis is expected to play. Texas A&M has not played anyone this season and I do not seem them being an NCAA Tournament team come March. Buzz Williams is still rebuilding, and they struggled to put away bad teams in their first two games. The Aggies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. The Badgers are 10-3 ATS (2 push) in their last 15 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck -Doc’s Sports |

11-21-21 | Capitals -110 v. Seattle Kraken | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take Washington -120 over Seattle (Sunday at 9pm) Why would we not go back to the well with Washington? We've been on them for the last three games and now they get to face the weakest team they've faced so far on this western road trip. Washington is playing on back-to-back nights, but that doesn't scare me as Seattle is not a good team by any stretch. Look for Washington to dominant again and get these two points. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Steelers +6 v. Chargers | Top | 37-41 | Win | 100 | 124 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #475 Pittsburgh Steelers over Los Angeles Chargers (8:20p.m., Sunday, November 21 NBC) Just do not trust the Chargers as this big of a favorite over a traditional powerhouse team like Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a road underdog. Big Ben should be back for this game and thus we can look past their tie against the Lions last season. Pittsburgh is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games at the Chargers. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played during Week 11 of the regular season. They are also 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of November. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Lakers -7 v. Pistons | Top | 121-116 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
We think that this is a good spot for the Lakers to get back on track, on the road vs. a bad team. Going against the Lakers this season has been very profitable as they are bad ATS. But Detroit has been just about as bad. The difference is that the Lakers lines are shaded, while the Pistons lines have been generous. LeBron has had a game back to get his footing, and this team needs a big win bad. We think they get it tonight. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Cardinals v. Seahawks +3 | 23-13 | Loss | -120 | 120 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Seattle Seahawks over Arizona Cardinals (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 21 FOX) QB Wilson was rusty last week in Green Bay but should play much better this week at home against a familiar opponent. The underdog is 9-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 12 meetings between Arizona and Seattle. The Cardinals are 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played in November. Seattle is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games when they are an underdog. Seattle has a major edge in coaching and that will be the difference in this game as they win it straight-up. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Bengals v. Raiders +1 | 32-13 | Loss | -104 | 120 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Las Vegas Raiders over Cincinnati Bengals (1:05p.m., Sunday, November 21 CBS) Just not buying the Bengals, especially when they are expected to win. Both teams looked bad of late, but I can forgive a loss to the Chiefs compared to losing to the Jets. The Raiders will be playing their second straight home game and look for them to bounce back this week. The Bengals are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 years in their next game following a bye. Cincinnati is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Las Vegas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. This will likely be a high scoring, but I still trust Derek Carr more than I do Joe Burrow and that will be the difference in this game. |

11-21-21 | Tennessee v. North Carolina +3 | 89-72 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #742 North Carolina Tar Heels over Tennessee Volunteers (3:30p.m., Sunday, November 21 ESPN) Tennessee will play better today against North Carolina, but I just do not like this game whatsoever. They are not a great shooting team and Rick Barnes is not a coach a trust to win big games at neutral sites. North Carolina returns a ton of talent from last season and even without Leaky Black and I believe that they will win this game straight-up. If North Carolina shoots and scores like they did yesterday I believe that will be enough to beat an overrated Tennessee team. The Volunteers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. The Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-21-21 | Packers -2.5 v. Vikings | 31-34 | Loss | -105 | 117 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #467 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, November 21 FOX) Most Vikings games go down to the wire, especially when the lose and that is something I expect to happen today. When QB Rodgers plays, the Packers dominate the NFC North having covered the spread in 10 of their last 14 divisional games. Minnesota is just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 divisional home games. Rodgers will rusty last week and expect him to be much better today with a full week of practice under this belt. This play comes down to who would you rather back, Kirk Cousins or Aaron Rodgers? We will side with the visitor. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | UCLA -3 v. USC | 62-33 | Win | 100 | 96 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #381 UCLA Bruins over Southern Cal Trojans (4p.m., Saturday, November 20 FOX) This is a rivalry game so USC will be up for it, but they just do not have the talent to be competitive against UCLA on Saturday. USC has an interim coach, and this is the year UCLA can get them with an edge in talent. The Bruins beat the team that are supposed to beat in 2021, mainly when their opponent cannot stop the run. That should be the case again on Saturday. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Nebraska v. Wisconsin -8 | 28-35 | Loss | -117 | 95 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #364 Wisconsin Badgers over Nebraska Cornhuskers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 20 ABC) Wisconsin has been dominating opponents in the Big 10 West and I see a similar occurrence today. The Badgers are 10-4 in this series having won 7 straight games. Nebraska made major changes on the offensive side of the football, and I do not think it will help as long as Taylor Martinez in the quarterback. Wisconsin defense is playing at a record setting level and this will be the best defense Nebraska as seen in 2021. Wisconsin has covered the spread in 5 straight Big 10 games. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | East Carolina -3.5 v. Navy | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #383 East Carolina Pirates over Navy Midshipmen (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 20 CBSSN) The Pirates have been a covering machine of late and will enter this game having won three straight games. Navy will enter having lost 4 of their last 5 games and they are just 2-7 overall on the season. East Carolina has covered the spread in 7 straight games. They are decent against stopping the run and are allowing just 320 total yards in conference play. The road team has covered the spread in 6 of the last 8 meetings between East Carolina and Navy. Expect East Carolina to jump out early and cruise to a double-digit victory. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Michigan v. UNLV UNDER 135.5 | 74-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #889 Under 135.5 in Michigan vs UNLV (12:30a.m., Saturday, November 20 ESPN2) We will side with the under, as Michigan will likely bounce back after a bad home loss to Seton Hall this week. Michigan has gone under the posted total in 15 of their last 22 neutral site games. UNLV has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 neutral site games when they are an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Mavs v. Suns -8.5 | 104-112 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, same venue, and the Suns won but didn’t cover. We will go with the Zig Zag theory here, which will be useful this season with the quirky scheduling. The team that covers the first game normally doesn’t in the next, and we think Dallas is in trouble until Luka gets back as he is truly one of the top MVP candidates yearly because he is probably the most important player in the league to his team. They put up a fight Wednesday, but we don’t see it happening again tonight. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Air Force v. Nevada -1.5 | Top | 41-39 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 44 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #322 Nevada Wolf Pack over Air Force Falcons (9p.m., Friday, November 19 FS1) Nevada should be able to bounce back and move the football on the ground and through the air on Friday. They had a devastating loss to San Diego State last Saturday but expect them to bounce back playing a team that will have trouble stopping the pass. Nevada defense will give up some yards on the ground but hopefully they will come up big in the redzone and hold the Falcons to field goal attempts. Air Force will be playing their second straight road game and that will catch up to them in this game. Nevada is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 conference home games. The Force is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Thunder +13 v. Bucks | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Bucks have been a poor ATS team to start the season, and especially recently. This team seems to be in a bit of a funk to start the season, and they are no where near championship form that we saw over the Summer. But they are being lined as such. The Thunder are becoming a good ATS underdog. They have cashed six of eight tickets. They are gelling well as a young team and playing solid team basketball. They are healthy here and should bring their A Game against the champs to keep this one within double digits. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Clippers v. Pelicans UNDER 214.5 | 81-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
New Orleans is 11-4-1 to the under this season. The under is a trend league wide, and New Orleans is a perfect example. The oddsmakers have been setting the lines very high, and teams like the Pelicans struggle on offense on a regular basis. The Clippers are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and they are on a B2B so their offense might be a little flat. We see them winning this one in a low scoring game. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Lakers v. Celtics -1.5 | 108-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
This line is short because LeBron James should be back in the lineup. But they weren’t very good before he left with injury, and we doubt he will be in 100% game shape if he does enter the lineup tonight. Bet this ASAP as if he is ruled out, the line will rise a bit. The Lakers are one of the worst ATS teams year after year as they are given too much respect by oddsmakers and bettors. Boston is always one of the best ATS teams, and they will give their rival their best shot tonight, LeBron or no LeBron. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 216 | 118-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Hornets are playing better defense and they have cashed under tickets in four straight games. We don’t think the oddsmakers have adjusted enough. Their defense has been real good while their offense isn’t putting up the numbers they did at the start of the season. Indiana has gone under in seven of eight, and this is not a dynamic offensive team. We see a game where the defenses will tighten up in a close game in the fourth, and as long as no OT we should cash this comfortably. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | St Bonaventure -3 v. Clemson | 68-65 | Push | 0 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #861 St Bonaventure -3.5 over Clemson (2:30p.m., Friday, November 19 ESPN2) The Bonnies got off to a slow start yesterday but turned things around in the second half. Look for that to carryover into this game against a Clemson team that has not been tested this season. The Bonnies are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Bradley +13.5 v. Colorado State | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #875 Bradley +13.5 over Colorado State (1p.m., Friday, November 19) Bradley only seems to show up in the conference tournament but this is a lot of points to be giving. Not sure how good Colorado State is with their weak schedule. Look for Bradley to slow the pace and keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | 76ers +7.5 v. Nuggets | 103-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Philly is 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five. But we just think this is too many points. The Sixers are dealing with a lot of injuries. But so is Denver as some of their key players are out as well. The Sixers have played a lot of close games during this losing streak but they were blown out and embarrassed last time out, losing to the Jazz by 35. This is a winnable game for them and we expect a much more focused effort and we think they will challenge for the win here. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Clippers v. Grizzlies -105 | 108-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The Clippers have good depth but a lot of that depth won’t see the floor tonight as this team is dealing with a variety of injuries. But it doesn’t really affect the spread with no big names. The Grizzlies were in a slump but they had that Get Right game against Houston and they looked really good in a 30+-point blowout. We think that momentum carries over to this game, and the Clippers have a real tough week of their schedule this week, and we don’t see it going well with a myriad of players sidelined. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Warriors -9.5 v. Cavs | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
The Warriors faced their first major road test against Brooklyn and dominated without really breaking a sweat. This seems like a team on a mission, and they are facing a banged up Cavs team that is on a back-to-back after putting up a good fight against that same Nets team last night but losing by 10. That was a conference game and now on a B2B and very thin roster we doubt they play better than they did last night and against a hotter team tonight. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Marquette v. Ole Miss -3.5 | Top | 78-72 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #760 Ole Miss over Marquette (7p.m., Thursday, November 17 ESPN2) The Golden Eagles are sky high coming off a victory at home against Illinois, who was without Kofi Cockburn. Watching that game on tv, I saw a poorly officiated game that greatly favored Marquette down stretch. That will not happen in this game and karma will likely strike back at them. Marquette is in a major rebuild under Shaka Smart and they struggled to put away SIUE and New Hampshire in their first two games. Ole Miss returns 4 starters from last season and should challenge for an NCAA Tournament big come March. They have not played anyone this year but will win this game by double-digits. Marquette is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Ole Miss is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | 89-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
These are two lousy teams. But they are a different level of bad. The Thunder are building something, while the Rockets seem hopeless right now and are unable to win a game. And despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers, they have not been covering, either. The Thunder aren’t too far removed from a four-game winning streak, and they have covered in five of their last seven. They are a much better defensive team than the Rockets, and we think that will be the difference. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Magic v. Knicks UNDER 209 | 104-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Knicks started off the season with some high scoring games, and the best defense from last season didn’t look up to snuff. But they have settled in lately, and their last four games (and six of seven) have gone under the posted total. This looks like another one that should be real low scoring. The Knicks have ramped up the defense during this under streak, and the Magic are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. And Orlando upset the Knicks earlier in the season so we think New York will lock down defensively tonight. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Cavs +9.5 v. Nets | 99-109 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Cavs have some injuries tonight, but the Nets are on a back-to-back after a beatdown by Golden State last night, and we don’t see them playing well enough to win by double digits. The Cavs are 10-5 ATS this season ad flying way under the radar. They are playing excellent team basketball and solid defense, and we think they will bring that same mentality to the floor regardless of who suits up tonight. The Nets are only 7-8 ATS this season. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Lakers +9 v. Bucks | Top | 102-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
The Lakers have been bad, but we think this is too many points. The Bucks aren’t exactly in mid season form. They are 6-8 ATS on the season. They have covered only three of their last 10. The Lakers need a win badly, and we think they will play hard against the Bucks. They probably have to feel a bit disrespected also since this is their biggest line as an underdog in a while. Plus, knowing that LeBron is coming back soon might give this team a jolt. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Wizards v. Hornets UNDER 220.5 | 87-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
Charlotte started the season off as a hot over team but it has gone the other way lately as their last three games have gone under the posted total. The Hornets have been playing solid defense lately, and their offense has not been putting up big numbers like the start of the season. The Wizards have gone under in six straight. They have been playing as good of defense as anyone in the league lately, holding all of their last 5 opponents to 100 or less. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Hurricanes v. Golden Knights +115 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vegas +105 over Carolina (Tuesday at 10:30pm) As per your selection on the above - we've carefully selected these games as each one of them fits our system and is capitalizing on great lines and great spots for each team we've selected. We normally try and offer our thoughts on one or two games per night in depth, but sometimes when our system loves multiple plays, we will play them in bunches. This is one of those nights. Let's have a great night and go 4-0. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Warriors v. Nets -3 | Top | 117-99 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Both teams are hot, but we think the Warriors record and recent results can be taken with a grain of salt. This team has had one of the easiest schedules in the NBA and it has been very home heavy as well. This is only their third road games outside of the state of California. They are facing their toughest opponent of the season, on the road, and we think this spread is short tonight. Might the Warriors be as good as their record indicates? Possibly. They certainly have some talent on the court. But we will have to see how they perform consistently on the road where things are a lot tougher in the NBA. We think there’s a great chance Brooklyn wins this one by 7+. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Wright State v. Purdue UNDER 149 | 52-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #617 Under 149 in Wright State @ Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, November 16 BTN) Purdue is a physical team and I believe the Raiders will have trouble scoring points against the No. 6 team in the country tonight at Mackey Arena. Purdue has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games following a win in their previous game. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Southern Utah v. St. Mary's UNDER 139 | 51-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #848 Under 139.5 in Southern Utah @ Saint Mary's (10p.m., Monday, November 15) Southern Utah is a over team and Saint Mary's is an under team. We expect Saint Mary's to be able to control the pace since they are playing at home in a small high school type of gym. Saint Mary's has gone under the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games overall. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Providence v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 63-58 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #834 Wisconsin -5.5 over Providence (9p.m., Monday, November 15 FS1) Wisconsin will be better than people think in 2021 and they have a veteran team that will be a tough team to beat at the Kohl Center. Providence returns experience as well but they did lose David Duke and that will be tough to overcome. Wisconsin got rid of a bunch of overrated seniors last year and this should be a much more together group that plays well off of each other. The Friars are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Celtics -2 v. Cavs | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
These teams played on Friday and the Cavs won a close one. Both squads were on a back-to-back so that was a boon for Cleveland as they were at home. Not only is it tough to beat a team twice in a three-day span, but with no B2B situation we give the edge to the better team, and that’s Boston. We have used the Cavs a lot lately with success but this is a good spot to go against them as the Celtics get revenge tonight. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -125 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay -130 over New York Islanders (Monday at 7pm) As per your selection on Tampa Bay, we like them in this spot as they look to pick up their third win in four games nd t home, they are always a tough team to beat. The Lightning hasn't quite got going to full capacity yet but they are still winning games and are getting balanced scoring throughout the roster. The islanders have lost two straight including a 4-0 shut out to NJ on Thursday. The Islanders have played every game so far this season on the road and that's definitely taken a toll on the team as they wait for their new arena to open up. This game will be the first of a b2b in Florida as they take on Florida tomorrow before opening up their new arena on Saturday against Calgary. Tampa is a good play tonight at this price. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Illinois v. Marquette +8.5 | 66-67 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #812 Marquette +8 over Illinois (7p.m., Monday, November 15 FS1) Kofi Cockburn is still out for this game and thus I see it going down to the wire. Marquette is in a rebuild under Shaka Smart but they are always a tough out at home and tonight should be no different. 76% of the money is on Marquette and this is a statement game for the new coach. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Eagles v. Broncos -2.5 | Top | 30-13 | Loss | -119 | 122 h 2 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #262 Denver Broncos over Philadelphia Eagles (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 14 CBS) Both teams are limited on offense, but I just feel Denver is the better all-around team. Philadelphia could not stop Justin Herbert whatsoever last week (Chargers never punted) and I see Teddy Bridgewater putting up big number in this game as well. Denver is coming off one of the most impressive and shocking results of the season, beating Dallas in Arlington. That game was never competitive and look for them to follow that up with another strong performance in this game. Philadelphia was lucky to hang around against the Chargers last week and if the Broncos can stop the run they will win this game by double digits. The Eagles are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Broncos are 4-1 ATS int their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Wolves v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 31 h 47 m | Show |
Bad spot here for the road team against the surging Clippers. LA is well rested with Friday off, while the Timberwolves are coming in on a back-to-back after playing the Lakers on Friday in a game they probably wanted more than this one. This is the first back-to-back of the season for Minnesota, and it’s a game we don’t see going well for them. These teams have already played twice and the Clippers dominated both matchups. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Texas v. Gonzaga -7 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #664 Gonzaga -7 over Texas (10:30p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN2) Gonzaga is always a tough out at the Kennel and I just do not feel Texas with a new coach is ready to be competitive in this environment. Mark Few is back on the sidelines for Gonzaga tonight and this team is loaded again with talent. Texas is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Celtics v. Cavs +2.5 | 89-91 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Both teams are coming in on a back-to-back, but Cleveland has a major edge here since they are at home. This team has been one of the best bets in the NBA this season and they are still flying way under the public betting radar. We think they are being undervalued again here on Saturday night, and this line has some nice value. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Penguins -140 v. Senators | 3-6 | Loss | -140 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Pittsburgh -150 over Ottawa (Saturday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Penguins, it's a great spot for them to pick up their second win in a row against a depleted Sens team.I hate picking on teams that are struggling, but the Sens are missing 13 regulars and have dropped six straight games. They are just not playing good hockey of late and Pittsburgh, is coming off a great win vs Florida and is expected to cruise to victory here. I'll bite on this cheap price as I think the Pens win this game by 2+ goals. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia v. Cincinnati -9.5 | 68-73 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #638 Cincinnati -9.5 over Georgia (7p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN+) The Tom Crean tenure at Georgia has not gone as planned and I do not see him being able to turn things around anytime soon. Cincinnati has a new coach in Wes Miller and he has a much better chance to be successful. Georgia is predicted to finish last in the SEC and I see them losing this game by double digits. Cincinnati is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Delaware -2.5 v. Siena | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #643 Delaware -2.5 over Siena (7p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN3) Both teams are coming off blowout losses but look for the Blue Hens to get back on track tonight in upstate New York. Delaware returns all five starters from last season and they should finish in the top half of the CAA come March. Siena lost 4 starters from last season and they should finish in the bottom half of the league. Sienna is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games overall. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Miami-FL -2.5 v. Florida State | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -109 | 97 h 6 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #201 Miami Hurricanes over Florida State Seminoles (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN) Remember when this game was must watch TV? That is certainly not the case now, but Miami has quietly been playing decent football of late. They have won 3 straight games and their last two losses before than just can by a combined 5 points. Miami has won 4 straight in this rivalry including winning last year by a score of 52-10. Florida State will enter off two double-digits losses (Clemson should not have been) and losing has taken its toll on this program. They cannot seem to find the right coach and they will be lucky to win one of their three remaining games. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games between Miami and FSU. The Seminoles are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Wolves +3.5 v. Lakers | 107-83 | Win | 100 | 29 h 58 m | Show | |
The Lakers have won two straight, both in OT, but in both games the opponent kind of beat themselves instead of the Lakers playing great. This is just not a good team right now. But this squad always gets the benefit of the doubt from the oddsmakers as they are the most popular betting team in the NBA every year based on their popularity. Especially after a couple wins. And they are always one of the worst ATS teams every year. We think they are overvalued again here tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Suns v. Grizzlies | 119-94 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 28 m | Show | |
The Suns have a nice record so far, but we still believe they are overrated. Their path to the NBA Finals last season was paved in gold. And they have played a super home heavy schedule so far this season. The Lakers are not good to start this season. They got blown out at Portland. And they scored a slim road win at Sacramento. The Suns overall have been racking up wins against an easy schedule that has kept them in the overrated category in our eyes. But we think this is a very tough road contest for them and we expect a comfortable win from the home team. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Pistons v. Cavs -5 | 78-98 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
Just going with the hot team here as the Cavs have been one of the best bets in the NBA this season. And they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10. They are very quietly getting the job done playing great team basketball, and without star players they are staying off the public radar. Cleveland has covered in five of the last six meetings between these clubs, and we think this line is more than fair tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Bucks v. Celtics +2 | 113-122 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
We really like the way Boston has been playing lately. They have showed us that they are probably a different team than last season, and a change of leadership has probably done this team well. They have won three of four and have covered four straight. This team has always gotten up for big games, and we feel that will be the case again on Friday night. The Celtics always seem to play well against the Bucks and they have covered in five of the last six meetings. We see them bringing their A Game here tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Knicks -1 v. Hornets | 96-104 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 29 m | Show | |
In Thibs We Trust. Tom Thibodeau is one of the better coaches in the NBA, and on Wednesday he benched his starters for the entire fourth quarter to send a message. We anticipate they will respond here with an excellent performance against a Hornets team that is struggling after having lost five of their last six after a hot start to the season. The Knicks have been very good on the road this season as they are 5-1 away from MSG. We expect an inspired performance from the road team in this one. |

11-12-21 | Flames v. Maple Leafs -179 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Toronto over Calgary (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Toronto, we like them in this spot as they come off a great road win two nights ago and now return home to face a Calgary team off a loss and that just played last night in Montreal. The Leafs have finally found some offense and consistency to their defensive game and we expect them to get the win here tonight and protect home ice. |

11-12-21 | Fordham v. Manhattan OVER 132.5 | 60-66 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #818 Over in Fordham @ Manhattan (7p.m., Friday, November 12 ESPN3) Both teams are coming off wins and if they reach their total from game one we should easily collect in this game. The Rams have gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 10 games played on Fridays. The Jaspers have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games. |

11-12-21 | Switzerland v. Italy -151 | 1-1 | Loss | -151 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Competition: World Cup Qualifier. Take Italy -155 over Switzerland (Friday at 2:45pm) Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Italy must win or draw. No time for a lengthy write up as we are traveling. We are coming off a great 4* win yesterday with Chile and we go with Italy here today for a couple of reasons. First, they are the better team and come into this game with just one loss over their last 38 games. That's impressive. They've beaten the Swiss in Euro 2020 and drew 0-0 in the last encounter as they missed a penalty that would have won the game. That was on the road and now they return to Italy for this contest and we see their attack being far to strong for the Swiss to counter. |

11-11-21 | Heat v. Clippers -4 | 109-112 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
This would have been a bigger play but the Heat went to OT last night against the Lakers and the odds moved after that. We still think the Clippers take care of business. After a slow start, the Clippers seem to be gelling well and they have won five straight. They have covered in four straight. They will face a tired Miami team that is 0-5 in their last five matchups against the Clippers. |

11-11-21 | Pacers +10 v. Jazz | 111-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Utah has been playing very well this season and is among the top teams in the league so far. But we don’t think this matchup will really move the needle for them and this is too many points for an out of conference game they won’t be very interested in. Indiana has been playing excellent defense lately, and as a result their last four games have all gone under the posted total. We think both teams will play strong defense here, and we expect a low total, making the points for the underdog all the more valuable. |

11-10-21 | Predators +135 v. Stars | 4-2 | Win | 135 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Nashville over Dallas (Wednesday at 8:30pm) As per your selection on Nashville, we believe this price is absurd as they are just as good as Dallas if not better and we are getting them at a crazy price. It's no secret that both teams struggle offensively but it is the Predators who own the better defensive record and we expect them to shut down the Stars. Dallas is coming off a three-game western road trip where they went 0-3 and that first game home usually doesn't go well for teams. Take Nashville. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Hornets v. Grizzlies OVER 228.5 | 118-108 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 21 m | Show | |
These are the two worst defensive teams in the NBA for points allowed this season. The Hornets have the No. 2 offense in the NBA, and Memphis has the No. 11 offense. We think this one will be a barnburner on Wednesday night, and we expect a competitive game where both squads will get their points. Memphis has played in some lower scoring games lately, and that has caused the bookies to adjust this number. But six of the last eight meetings have gone over the total, and we expect this one to go that way as well. |

11-10-21 | North Florida v. Texas A&M -16 | 46-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #301210 Texas A&M over North Florida (8p.m., Wednesday, November 10 ESPN+ ) Year 3 of the Buzz Williams era gets underway on Wednesday at Reed Arena. It has been less than impressive thus far but Williams seems to win at every stop that he lands. Look for a big showing from Quenton Jackson tonight as the Aggies will win this game by double-digits. North Florida is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-10-21 | Bucks v. Knicks UNDER 215.5 | 112-100 | Win | 100 | 23 h 51 m | Show | |
The Knicks have been an over team for most of the start of the season as they have not played great defense and they have been saddled with some low totals. But three of their last four games have gone under with a couple solid defensive efforts. Milwaukee has been a big time under team so far. The under is 8-2 for them this season, and that is in part because of offensive inconsistency. We think the Knicks will amp up the defense against the NBA champs and we think this total is 4-5 points too high. This series has a strong history for the under in NY as 12 of the last 17 meetings have gone under the posted total. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Wizards v. Cavs +4 | 97-94 | Win | 100 | 22 h 21 m | Show | |
Cleveland has been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately and they should be PK here if not a small favorite. We think this game is a coin flip, so getting this many points provides nice value. The Cavs have won four straight and covered in five straight games. At 8-3 ATS they have even been a slightly better bet than the Wizards (7-3 ATS). But the Wizards have had a home-heavy schedule thus far and they are only 2-2 ATS on the road. Cleveland is playing great team basketball right now, and we believe they have a great chance at the outright win here. |

11-09-21 | Seattle Kraken +105 v. Golden Knights | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Seattle +105 over Vegas (Tuesday at 10 pm) As per your selections on the above, each one of these selections fit our models and we expect us to have a profitable night on the ice. The lines are skewed in our favor and we couldn't help ourselves by putting out a big card. Let's have a great night on the ice and build some momentum to head into the week. |
