12-27-23 | Bruins v. Sabres +132 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Buffalo may have turned a corner. Last time we saw them here at home, they demolished the Maple Leafs, 9-3. Next time out they played a great game at NY Rangers and played well enough to win before losing in OT. This team is like an Oilers lite, and once their offense starts synching they will win some games. Boston is reeling. We knew this team wasn’t as good as last year’s version but they fooled us into thinking maybe they were with a hot start. They are finally showing cracks, however, with four straight losses and five of six. Buffalo already won in Boston earlier in the month in a game that wasn’t really close, and we think they match up well tonight. |
|||||||
12-27-23 | 76ers +2.5 v. Magic | 112-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Great value here as Philly has a long history of success over the Magic. Yes, Embiid is out tonight and the Sixers are banged up. But this is a very deep team and we think they have the roster to win this one outright. Orlando is also coming in on the second end of a back-to-back. The word is out on the Magic and they are not going to surprise teams anymore, and Philly will want to put their best foot forward here. |
|||||||
12-26-23 | Hornets v. Clippers -11.5 | Top | 104-113 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
The Clippers were on a nine-game winning streak but since have lost two straight. This team was banged up and overworked, and they lost by double-digits at OKC and last time out at home to Boston. But LA didn’t play on Xmas and they are at home here the day after, which is a big advantage as we are confident they will be in a better place mentally than the Hornets, on the road after the holiday. We always like to take a good team after a bad game, and the Clippers were embarrassed last time out here vs. Boston. Good teams normally up the effort after a game like that, and Charlotte is certainly a team that can be susceptible to a blowout. They have lost four straight road games by double digits. The Clippers have won and covered in four of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
12-25-23 | Ravens v. 49ers -5 | 33-19 | Loss | -110 | 105 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #482 San Francisco 49ers over Baltimore Ravens (8:15p.m., Monday, December 25 ABC) The 49ers are clearly the team to beat when it comes to the Super Bowl and now get a chance to prove it on the field against the best teams the AFC has to offer. The 49ers are just better on both sides of the football and they want to make a statement in this game. Baltimore will be playing their second straight road game and must fly cross-country for this game. San Francisco has covered the spread in 13 of their last 17 home games when they are the favorite. |
|||||||
12-24-23 | Cowboys v. Dolphins | 20-22 | Win | 100 | 77 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Miami Dolphins over Dallas Cowboys (4:25p.m, Sunday, December 24 FOX) Dallas looked terrible last week against another AFC East team and expect Miami to use the same blueprint that Buffalo did. Dallas is just not the same team on the road compared to when playing at home. Dallas is likely going to be the No. 5 seed since the Eagles have a very easy schedule to close out the regular season. Miami takes this one. |
|||||||
12-24-23 | Jaguars +1 v. Bucs | 12-30 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #469 Jacksonville Jaguars over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4:05p.m., Sunday, December 24 CBS) Just feel that Tampa Bay overachieved last week against a terrible Green Bay defense and will find it much harder to move the football this week against Jacksonville. The Jaguars gagged last week at home against the Ravens, producing zero points in the first half despite moving the football up and down the field. Jacksonville has covered the spread in 9 of their last 10 road games (London game included). Tampa Bay is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against AFC teams. Jacksonville is desperate and needs this game in the worst way. |
|||||||
12-23-23 | St. John's v. Connecticut -11 | 65-69 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #626 UCONN over St Johns (8p.m., Saturday, December 23 FOX) We saw Marquette pound Georgetown last night after suffering an embarrassing loss the previous game. Expect UCONN to follow suit and win this game by double-digits after losing to Seton Hall last time out. St Johns has a famous coach in Rick Pitino, but the roster is not championship caliber to be able to compete night in and night out in the Big East. An angry UCONN wins this game going away and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
12-23-23 | Bengals v. Steelers +2.5 | 11-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #454 Pittsburgh Steelers over Cincinnati Bengals (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 23 NBC) Just feel the Steelers have one more game in them. Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season as head coach of the Steelers, but 2023 will test that theory. Pittsburgh won the first meeting this season and have gone 10-4 divisional home games played in the Steel City. Cincinnati has not won a divisional game this season (0-4) and I look for that to continue on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-22-23 | Wizards +12.5 v. Warriors | Top | 118-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
The Wizards are a bad team. But they are not bad on the level of the Pistons or Spurs. They have a couple players that can make a difference, and they have been a decent bet in spots. And we think one of those spots is tonight. And we think one of those players that can make a difference is Jordan Poole, the former Warrior who was punched by Draymond Greene in practice, but he was kind of disrespected in the trade that brought Chris Paul to the Warriors. We think he will raise his game up tonight. Washington actually has covered more games than Golden State. They are on a B2B but have covered four straight after winning in Portland last night. They have three nights off after this game, so they don’t need to hold back for energy. The Warriors play on Saturday then also on Christmas at Denver, so we don’t know how focused they will be here. They have been double digit favorites twice this season and didn’t cover in either game. |
|||||||
12-22-23 | Illinois v. Missouri +6.5 | 97-73 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #874 Missouri Tigers over Illinois Fighting Illini (9p.m., Friday, December 22 FS1) This game seems to mean more to Missouri and expect their players and fans to go all out to win this game. Missouri has played better of late, hanging with Kansas and Seton Hall and I feel that they can take this one down to the wire. Many of these games between these two bordering state schools have gone down to the wire and 2023 should be no different. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against the Fighting Illini. |
|||||||
12-22-23 | Canadiens +100 v. Blackhawks | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Any time the Blackhawks are a favorite, bet against them. Very simple. This is the worst team in the NHL and the Canadiens are a much better team. They have more wins on the road than Chicago does at home. They have also won the last three meetings. |
|||||||
12-21-23 | Coyotes v. Sharks +135 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
We think this is a very public line. After a historic bad start to the season, the Sharks have righted the ship and are playing as well as any middling team the month of December. They won road games against New Jersey, NY Islanders and Detroit this month, as well as a home win over Winnipeg. They played good enough to win but fell short at the Rangers, at Vegas (shootout loss), and at Arizona (1-0 loss). That loss at Arizona was less than a week ago, so recent enough to where it will be on the minds of Sharks players (revenge). Also, the Sharks very much played well enough to win there but had two goals called back (interference and offsides). Arizona is on a three-game win streak, but those were all at home. They have lost three straight on the road. They have had a ridiculously home heavy schedule that likely has them overrated by the oddsmakers. Don’t get us wrong, we like the Coyotes and they are an improving team. But San Jose just isn’t that bad anymore, and we had them handicapped as a slight favorite here in this matchup. The Sharks have a strong history here as they have won five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
12-21-23 | Clippers v. Thunder -4.5 | Top | 115-134 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
It’s tough sometimes to go against a team like the Clippers who have won nine straight and are playing as well as anyone in the league. But we think this is a real bad spot for the Clippers. They are coming in on a back-to-back. This is their third road game in four nights. This is a veteran Clippers team that has seen it all and done it all, and we don’t think they care about the streak nearly as much as the fans do. This seems like a game they might not give full effort in. Some members of the team have been sick. Kawhi Leonard has played unprecedented minutes to start the season, and he got really banged around last night. The Thunder have had two nights off and are completely healthy. They have won four of five, including a road game against the defending champs. They are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA at 17-8 on the season. |
|||||||
12-21-23 | Alcorn State v. George Washington -15.5 | 75-79 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306578 George Washington over Alcorn State (2p.m., Thursday, December 21 ESPN+) No bet against Alcorn State is a bad bet. The Braves are in the process of playing 15 straight road games and they have yet to win any of them. Their last 8 road games have been blowouts and today should be no different. This is just a cash grab playing all of these buy games and it really is not fair to the players and coaches. The Revolutionaries have played an easy schedule as well full of cupcakes, but playing the Braves is easily considered another cupcake. |
|||||||
12-20-23 | Baylor v. Duke -3 | 70-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #666 Duke Blue Devils over Baylor Bears (7p.m., Wednesday, December 20 ESPN) Baylor got exposed last time out against Michigan State. Now they travel to MSG to play Duke in a de facto home game for the Blue Devils. Duke has a great record at MSG and they cannot afford any more losses on the season, since they are just 7-3 on the season. This is not the NFL and I do not expect a bounce back from Baylor tonight. Duke gets the victory and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
12-19-23 | Alcorn State v. Drake -21 | 55-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #306528 Drake over Alcorn State (8p.m., Tuesday, December 19 ESPN+) No bet against Alcorn State is a bad bet regardless of how high the number is. The Braves are playing a brutal road schedule to collect checks and in return are losing these games by 30+ points. They rallied late to only lose by 18 to a Northern Iowa squad, but Drake is a much better team than Northern Iowa. This is the Braves 10th straight road game. |
|||||||
12-19-23 | Oilers v. Islanders +135 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
The home team has won five straight meetings in this series, and we think home ice will prevail again. On paper, the Oilers should win this one. But the game is played on the ice, not paper. No way Edmonton should be favored by this much over a quality team on the road. They literally have as many road wins (4) as the Chicago Blackhawks, widely considered the worst team in the NHL. New York has been playing well. They had that OT loss to Boston and had a letdown the next night in a B2B at Montreal. But they have won six of their last nine. After the Oilers winning streak, which was against a home-heavy schedule, they have dropped two straight and their defense looks awful while the offense has sputtered. Doubt they have a break out night against this solid Islanders defense. |
|||||||
12-19-23 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -7 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 3 m | Show |
Ja Morant should return to the court on Tuesday, but we think this will hurt an already struggling team in the short term. This team already has chemistry issues and now will insert a new puzzle into the mix. Morant will get his numbers but we doubt he will make the team competitive right away. Plus, the Grizzlies are massively banged up right now. This roster is paper thin. The Grizzlies have lost five straight and have failed to cover in any of those games despite generous lines from the oddsmakers. New Orleans has won seven of nine (6-3 ATS), and they are playing playoff-quality basketball right now. |
|||||||
12-18-23 | Panthers v. Flames +108 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 108 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Florida broke out last time in a big win at Edmonton, but this team was shut out in their previous two games. We think the Oilers didn’t show up in that game but expect Calgary to tonight. Calgary beat Tampa Bay and Carolina in two of their last three home games, and we expect them to be up to the task tonight at an underdog price. They bring their A Game when facing Florida, as they have won three straight meetings and five of the last six. Calgary has several former Panthers players on their squad who are itching to beat their old club. We expect that to happen tonight, and the value is certainly here in this line. |
|||||||
12-18-23 | Eagles v. Seahawks OVER 47.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 3 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #327 Over in Philadelphia Eagles @ Seattle Seahawks (8:15p.m., Monday, December 18 ABC) The Seahawks are reeling at the moment and will enter this game in the Emerald City having lost 4 straight games. Philadelphia has lost their last two games and many people do not realize how bad their defense has been this year. Seattle has allowed at least 25 points in 5 of their last 6 games. We will not worry about which desperate team wins this game and instead just collect with the Over. |
|||||||
12-18-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Pacers | 151-127 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
The Clippers are finally clicking and they are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. After their slow start to the season they are taking every game seriously. We think with both teams playing their best that the Clippers win comfortably on the road at Indiana. After their tourney championship loss, the Pacers have not been good and have only a win and cover over Detroit as their only success in the last four games. |
|||||||
12-17-23 | Nevada v. Hawaii +1.5 | 72-66 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #750 Hawaii +1.5 over Nevada (10p.m., Sunday, December 17 ESPN+) The Wolf Pack have injuries and are a sinking ship now having gotten blasted by Drake last weekend. Hawaii is always a tough team to beat on the island and expect them to hand Nevada their second loss o the season Sunday night. |
|||||||
12-17-23 | Ravens v. Jaguars +3.5 | 23-7 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #330 Jacksonville Jaguars over Baltimore Ravens (8:20p.m., Sunday, December 17 NBC) Getting a desperate Jaguars team at home on Sunday Night Football is too good to pass up. This is the Jaguars third straight game against the AFC North and they lost the first two in heartbreaking fashion. Trevor Lawrence played last week despite a bad ankle injury the week prior, but he struggled throwing 3 picks and was sacked 4 times. Jacksonville is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against Baltimore. The Ravens are 5-10 in their last 15 non division road games when they are the favorite. Trevor will play better on Sunday and we will collect in the process, as this is too many points for an 8-5 team to be getting at home. |
|||||||
12-16-23 | Knicks v. Clippers UNDER 228.5 | Top | 122-144 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
The Knicks have been playing in a lot of high scoring games lately, but we feel they are in a letdown spot tonight. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA and they are one of the strongest under teams as well. The Knicks scored 139 last night and Brunson went off for 50 of those. We doubt he will stay hot on a back-to-back and against tougher defenders. These teams met already in New York and the total didn’t even cross the 210 mark. We see a similar game tonight. |
|||||||
12-16-23 | Panthers v. Oilers -139 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -139 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
Edmonton has won eight of nine and they can’t afford to take any games for granted after their slow start. So even after a bad loss, we see them bouncing back well here. This team is almost an automatic play since they are back on track and have to make up for lots of early losses. Florida has lost two straight and was shit out in both games. |
|||||||
12-16-23 | UCLA v. Boise State +4.5 | 35-22 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #210 Boise State Broncos over UCLA Bruins (7:30p.m., Saturday, December 16 ABC) Boise State has hired their interim head coach and I expect them to rally and play well for him in this game. The Broncos have won 4 straight games, and they always seem to get up when playing power 5 schools from the west coast. Chip Kelly beat USC to keep his job for another year, but their offense did not do much this season and I expect them to struggle in this game as well against a strong Boise front. The Bruins will be missing some key people on defense and the Broncos will be the more motivated team in this game. |
|||||||
12-16-23 | UCLA v. Ohio State -1.5 | Top | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #636 Ohio State Buckeyes over UCLA Bruins (3p.m., Saturday, December 16 CBS) NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR. The Bruins still take money in the desert and thus this line is lower than it should be. UCLA has played just one game this entire month and this will be their second trip to the east coast in the last 7 days. They had to replace a ton of veterans from their squad from last season and they are really struggling to score points this season. Ohio State is coming off a bad loss to Penn State last Saturday, a game in which they led by 18 points. This is a strong offensive team and they want to get back to the NCAA Tournament after missing out last season. They should be close to full strength for this game with Roddy Gayle and Scotty Middleton available and that means they will have 3 of the 4 best players on the floor for this game. The Bruins are the second youngest team in the country among major conferences and will enter this game in Atlanta having lost 3 of their last 5 games. Ohio State is 9th in 3 points shooting and 15th in adjusted efficiency. Early in the year I will take the better offensive team compared to the team that has a higher upside come March. Ohio State wins this pick’em game and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
12-15-23 | Albany v. South Dakota State OVER 45.5 | Top | 0-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308921 Over in Albany Great Danes @ South Dakota State Jackrabbits (7p.m., Friday, December 15 ESPN2) I refuse to call them UAlbany and feel that gets annoying on the broadcast. SDSU has won 27 games in a row, and this is too big of number to try and cover. Thus, we will side with the over for a couple of factors. First, weather could be a factor in this game with rain early then possible snow late. I feel that benefits the offense since they know where they are going. Both teams are strong against the run and I do not expect either team, especially Albany, to have any success running the football. That means the ball will be in the air a lot tonight and that also stops the clock much more than it would if both teams were running the football successfully. Both teams have strong quarterbacks and Reese Poffenbarger hit numerous big plays last week against Idaho. Finally, this will be Albany’s ninth road game this season and I expect them to struggle containing South Dakota State on offense. The Jackrabbits should be able to score close to 40 points in this game and I see the total points in the mid-fifties. |
|||||||
12-14-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -5.5 | Top | 113-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
The Clippers are very quietly playing as well as any team in the Western Conference right now. While other teams – including the Clippers opponent right now – have tons of drama surrounding them, Kawhi and co. have put their heads down and gotten to work. This team always had the talent, but they had chemistry issues. But they seemed to have worked those out, and this is a real championship contender now that they are playing well. There is a current circus going on in Golden State and they have not been playing well overall. We think they are in for a tough night tonight as LA should be clicking on all cylinders and they will want to put their best foot forward as they are currently tied for the season series. |
|||||||
12-14-23 | Senators -115 v. Blues | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
The Blues have looked awful lately and have lost four straight, including on the road to Columbus and Chicago, two of the worst teams in the league. We are fading them more than backing the Senators here. Ottawa has won three of five, however, and they have faced an incredibly difficult schedule that included a host of playoff-type teams. Those wins included vs. the Rangers and at Red Wings. So, they are in better form at the moment and they have also won two of the last three meetings. The Blues defense has been horrible, and they haven’t been producing enough goals on offense to stay competitive. We see their struggles continuing tonight. |
|||||||
12-13-23 | Weber State v. Nevada -9.5 | 55-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Nevada over Weber State (10p.m., Thursday, December 13 Local) The Wolf Pack are coming off their first loss of the season, when they got pounded by the Bulldogs in Las Vegas. Nevada is a much better team when playing at home and look for them to get back on track tonight with a double-digit victory. The Wildcats have played a super weak schedule this season and will struggle to be competitive in this game. Nevada will get to the line a bunch and look for them dominate this game. |
|||||||
12-13-23 | Knicks v. Jazz +6.5 | Top | 113-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
The Knicks’ defense has been their calling card but they are faltering in that aspect and they have given up 130+ in three straight games. They aren’t going to win a lot until they fix the defensive issues. The Jazz are getting healthy and could see Markkanen return tonight. The Knicks have covered just one of the last five meetings (one push) and we don’t see their road trip getting off to a good start tonight. |
|||||||
12-13-23 | Bruins v. Devils -118 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
In the rare cases that the Bruins are installed as underdogs, there is usually a reason. They traditionally haven't done well on the road as an underdog, and they are a strong fade tonight. They have a long history of success against the Devils, but despite the Bruins record this season we don't think they are as strong of a team as last year. They cruised through the regular season last year and were exposed in the playoffs. We think the Devils will treat this one like a playoff game and we think this is one they want badly, as opposed to the Bruins, who this is just another game for. New Jersey is playing some of their best hockey this season recently as they are 6-2 in their last eight. This was a very difficult schedule and road heavy. They are coming off a multi-goal loss to the Oilers, and they were probably looking ahead a bit to this matchup. We like to take a good team off a bad loss as they normally are more focused the next time out, and we think that will be the case here. |
|||||||
12-12-23 | Jets v. Sharks UNDER 6 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
San Jose scored a lot of goals on their recent road trip but we watched some of those games and some of those goals were a bit flukish. Hats off to San Jose because they have been playing better, but maybe not as well as those scores might indicate, at least on offense. And they face a tough test tonight against a Winnipeg squad with one of the best defenses in the NHL. They are playing exceptionally well at the moment and have allowed less than two goals per game on average in their last four, all against teams better than the Sharks. This team has been hitting the under at a high rate recently and also for the season. We think the Sharks will step up the defense as they are home and rested and we expect a low scoring affair here. |
|||||||
12-12-23 | Lakers v. Mavs UNDER 231.5 | 125-127 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
These teams met a few weeks ago, and the total finished 40 points under the posted total. That was the fourth straight meeting that went under and their seventh out of the last nine matchups. The Lakers have also played four straight unders. There might be a letdown factor here after LA winning the inaugural Play In Tourney, and we feel they could be flat on offense. We expect both teams to step up the defense here. |
|||||||
12-12-23 | Alcorn State v. Maryland -21.5 | 65-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #306510 Maryland over Alcorn State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 12 BTN) This is a great right game for Maryland, as they are one of the worst shooting teams in the country this season. They do offense rebound well and are playing a team that cannot defend much whatsoever. The Braves will be playing their eight straight road game and they have gotten blown out in most of these buy games. That is a ridiculous schedule for a team to have to endure and I think they lose tonight by close to 30 points. |
|||||||
12-11-23 | Nets v. Kings -4 | 118-131 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Sacramento has won and covered two straight and three out of four. Both teams have been great ATS, but this number is more than fair for the home team that is well rested. Brooklyn has had a fairly easy schedule lately that has inflated their worth in the eyes of the oddsmakers. We expect a comfortable win for the home team tonight. |
|||||||
12-11-23 | Mississippi Valley State v. Gonzaga -39.5 | 40-78 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #306610 Gonzaga over Mississippi Valley State (9p.m., Monday, December 11 ESPN+) Hardly ever see a spread this big in any sport besides college football. Gonzaga is pissed and will take out on the Delta Devils after losing to Washington last time out. This will be ugly early and often. |
|||||||
12-11-23 | Coyotes v. Sabres -124 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Buffalo has not met expectations to start the season, but the talent is there and we think this team will start to win games. They had their big win at Boston on Thursday, so maybe that is a sign of big things coming. They have won three of four meetings with the Coyotes. Arizona has been playing well but playing above expectations. |
|||||||
12-10-23 | Michigan v. Iowa -3.5 | 90-80 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 4 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #856 Iowa -4 over Michigan (4:30p.m., Sunday, December 9 BTN) Michigan is not any good and has major coaching issues with Juwuan Howard. Iowa got blown out last time out, look for them to get back on track at home. Iowa plays much better at home. Lay the points! |
|||||||
12-10-23 | Broncos v. Chargers -2.5 | Top | 24-7 | Loss | -120 | 122 h 30 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #124 Los Angeles Chargers over Denver Broncos (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 10 CBS) The Broncos came back to reality last week and Russell Wilson could not rally them late despite having a first and goal to win this game. He threw 3 interceptions in that game and now must face a more talented Charger team in their second straight road game. Los Angeles has covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 divisional home games. The last time Denver visited Sofi Stadium they lost 51-14 and the Chargers always seem to rally late in the season to get back into playoff contention. |
|||||||
12-10-23 | Bills v. Chiefs -2 | 20-17 | Loss | -115 | 122 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #126 Kansas City Chiefs over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 10 CBS) The Chiefs do not lose two games in a row under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and look for that trend to continue this week as well. Buffalo continues to be overvalued and their roster and coach is not as good as the public thinks it is. Kansas City has covered the spread in 7 of their last 11 games. Buffalo finds ways to lose close games all season long and look for that to continue on Sunday. The Chiefs need this game to stay in contention for the No. 1 seed in the AFC and they will get it by close to double-digits. |

12-09-23 | Hurricanes v. Canucks +114 | 3-4 | Win | 114 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
This road trip has not started well for Carolina as they have lost three straight and they face another formidable opponent tonight. Vancouver has been very good at home, while the Hurricane have been way below average on the road. This line has been set according to potential and not how these teams have been performing on the ice. |
|||||||
12-09-23 | Albany v. Idaho OVER 51 | Top | 30-22 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. #308909 Take Over 51.5 Albany at Idaho (10:00p.m., Saturday December 9 ESPN+) FCS Game of the Year. Yes, I know Albany defense is no joke but the fire power on the offensive side of Idaho will give us the total victory. Idaho needed overtime against Southern Illinois to advance in this game and I just don't see them scoring only 20 points Saturday night. The Albany Great Danes have won 6-Straight, and their team defense is the reason why they are still playing football in December. Albany put up 41 points last week against Richmond and I'm a bit shocked that this total has dropped 3-points. Should be a tight game from the start and I see both offenses moving the ball and wouldn't shock me to see the winner score 30 plus points or more. |
|||||||
12-09-23 | Pacers +4.5 v. Lakers | 109-123 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Love the way the Pacers played in their semifinal game against Milwaukee. It looked in the third quarter that the Bucks would take over the game, but Indiana switched to a different gear and dominated the fourth. The Lakers had a much easier matchup against the inconsistent Pelicans. They blew out New Orleans, so the Lakers are further shaded by the oddsmakers here as the biggest public team in the NBA. |
|||||||
12-09-23 | Wisconsin +10 v. Arizona | 73-98 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #659 Wisconsin +9.5 over Arizona (3:15p.m., Saturday, December 9 ESPN) This line keeps going up since many feel Wisconsin is in a letdown spot coming off back to back victories against Marquette and Michigan State. The Badgers treat every game the same and should give maximum effort for this game. Wisconsin plays a style of basketball that makes it tough to cover this big of spread, especially if they get ahead early in this game. The Badgers have the size to matchup with Arizona down low and this will likely come down to which team can shoot it better from long range. Arizona struggled to put away Michigan State and they beat Duke by just 5 points. I see Arizona winning this game, but it will be by single digits. |
|||||||
12-08-23 | Rockets +9 v. Nuggets | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
The Nuggets will likely get back Jamal Murray tonight but this team is just not in playoff form right now and they are being lined too high by the oddsmakers. They are just 8-14 ATS this season, and coming in off two straight losses. While they were probably win tonight, the Rockets have been one of the best ATS squads and we think they keep this close. |
|||||||
12-08-23 | Blues v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Columbus is coming in on a back-to-back and they allowed a ton of goals to the Islanders last night and we don’t see them bouncing back defensively here. St. Louis has won three of the last four meetings by three goals apiece, and we don’t expect a drained Columbus team, playing their third game in four nights, to play well defensively. |
|||||||
12-07-23 | Sharks v. Red Wings OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
San Jose averaged a little over half a goal on the road headed into this road trip and hadn’t scored more than one goal in a road game this season. But all the sudden their offense is looking like the Oilers in their prime. They have averaged five goals per game in their last three, not including overtime, and two of those games were against strong defensive teams, the two NY clubs. Their defense has given up four goals per game on this road trip. We think they will continue to see success on offense and expect another high scoring game here. |
|||||||
12-07-23 | Pacers v. Bucks -5 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
We were unsure how serious teams would take the in season tournament, but some teams did take it seriously, and now that we are close to the finals we think teams will start to take it very seriously. And while the Pacers are a very solid club and their offense is almost unprecedented, with both teams playing at their best, we think Milwaukee is the much better team. They had some new pieces to acclimate on the team but you get the sense recently this team is turning the corner. They scored their highest point total of the season last time out, 146-122, against the Knicks in tourney action. New York is one of the best defensive teams in the league. While it might not be evident when looking at final scores, they have been improving on the defensive side. The Pacers are all offense but not defense. The Bucks can match the Pacers on offense but they have a defensive edge that will be the difference in this game in Las Vegas today. |
|||||||
12-06-23 | South Carolina +8.5 v. Clemson | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #717 South Carolina over Clemson (8p.m., Wednesday, December 6 ACCN) This battle of South Carolina should be closer than what the experts believe. Both teams are undefeated and I just do not see a double digit victory for the home team. Carolina already has some major conference wins against Virginia Tech, DePaul, and Notre Dame. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Devils v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Four straight meetings have gone over the posted total, and we expect a very competitive game here and a shootout. These teams have combined to go 32-13 to the over this season. The Devils have gone over in four straight games. These are two Top 4 offensive teams for goals scored. We see both teams getting at least three goals here, and the winner could score well above that. The winner when these teams have met has had at least five goals for the last four meetings. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Knicks +5.5 v. Bucks | 122-146 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
The Bucks are still a work in progress and we feel this team is focused on building a team that will win a championship once the postseason comes around and we aren’t sure how invested they are in the in-season tournament. Last meeting the Bucks were hitting their threes at a very high rate and still didn’t blow the Knicks out. We expect a close game here and the Bucks are weak defensively but they are going to put up points. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Michigan State | 70-57 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #611 Wisconsin over Michigan State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 5 Peacock) These two teams have had great battles over the last decade and many of those games have come down to the wire. Michigan State is not the same team as they will be later in the year and they have lost to every good team that they have played this season. Expect a low scoring game and getting over 5 points is too good to pass up with this veteran Wisconsin team. |
|||||||
12-04-23 | Capitals v. Coyotes UNDER 5.5 | 0-6 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Washington is 15-6 to the under this season and we think this is a trend that could stay strong all season. They play great defense, their offense leave a lot to be desired, but they find ways to win. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Arizona and 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings. Arizona has been playing very good defense lately. |
|||||||
12-04-23 | Celtics v. Pacers OVER 242.5 | 112-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Boston dropped 155 on the Pacers when these teams played last month, and even if they don’t score that much, we still think they are going to put up a big number on offense. We also think the Pacers will be much more competitive in this game. They scored only 104 in that game, one of their lowest outputs on offense this season. Seven of the last 10 meetings have gone over the posted number. |
|||||||
12-03-23 | Cardinals v. Steelers -5.5 | 24-10 | Loss | -109 | 119 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #458 Pittsburgh Steelers over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, December 3 CBS) The Cardinals are not very good, and I believe that the Steelers were rejuvenated last week with a road win and a new offensive coordinator. This will be a tough task for Arizona to win a road game in the northeast in December when it will be cold outside. Pittsburgh has beaten Arizona four straight times (4-0 ATS) including in the super bowl. The Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Pittsburgh is due for a blowout win and it will come on Sunday by double digits. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Rangers -135 v. Predators | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
The Rangers might prefer the road more than home ice. They have two more wins on the road vs. at home. Nashville has been streaky and they ended their six-game winning streak last time out in an embarrassing home loss to Minnesota. Things won’t get any easier today. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -4.5 | 112-113 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
This is the second of a home-and-home and we think the Clippers will come out on top in the rematch, with style points. This team is healthy and this is the longest stretch PG and Leonard have played together since they joined the Clippers. Chemistry seems to be improving for between the players. The Warriors are a bit banged up here, and it’s tough to beat a team twice in a row. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama +6 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 98 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #318 Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (4p.m., Saturday, December 2 CBS) SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME This likely will be a winner take all game, as Alabama looks to unseat Georgia for the second time in the last 3 SEC Championship games. Alabama was fortunate to survive last week against Auburn, but I believe they will take that momentum into this game. I believe Alabama has the better quarterback in this game, as Jalen Milroe can beat you with his arm or his legs. Alabama’s offense live has been playing much better of late and I just believe Georgia lost too much talent from last year to run the table in 2023 without suffering a loss. Georgia has played an easy schedule this season without having to face Oklahoma in the nonconference portion of the season and they will hit adversity in this game. Alabama has won 7 of the last 8 games in this matchup and they will win and march onto the College Football Playoff. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Boise State -2 v. UNLV | 44-20 | Win | 100 | 97 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #313 Boise State Broncos over UNLV Rebels (3p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) MOUNTAIN WEST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Who would have believed at the start of that UNLV would be hosting the Mountain West Championship Game! Now they get to face the best team in the league since they joined the Mountain West and look for Boise State to finish the season with 4 straight wins. The Broncos have seen much improvement since making a coaching change and UNLV is coming off a bad home loss to San Jose State last time out. UNLV has overachieved much of the season but look for them to come back to reality on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | North Dakota State v. Montana State -2.5 | 35-34 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #308962 Montana St -2.5 over North Dakota St (3:00p.m., Saturday December 2 ESPN+) FCS Playoffs. Completely shocked on why this game dropped to 2.5 and as I type one book moved to -2 so maybe wait to throw down on some FCS Playoff game. Both teams can score and score quickly but in the second half is when I see the Bobcats control the game and again, I'm laying this low number. As long as the Bobcats can control the Bison QB Cam Miller I see them advancing in the FCS Playoffs. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Marquette v. Wisconsin +3.5 | 64-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin over Marquette (12:30p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) Gettting a field goal with a home underdog is too good to pass up. Wisconsin beat Marquette last year in Milwaukee and they return everyone from that squad. The Badgers need this game more, since they do not have many quality wins on the season. Look for Wisconsin to use their size down low and they will win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Connecticut v. Kansas -2.5 | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #878 Kansas over Connecticut (9p.m., Friday, December 1 ESPN2) Connecticut has played a weak schedule thus far but it is going to get hard the next two games against Kansas and North Carolina. Playing in Kansas is always a tough task and look for the Jayhawks to emerge victorious since they have a great home court edge. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Oregon v. Washington +10 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306 Washington Huskies over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Friday, December 1 ABC) PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHP GAME All the value is now with Washington, as this line skyrocketed over the weekend with the performance Washington had in the Apple Cup. People are lining up to bet Oregon and this line is just too high in my opinion. Washington already beat Oregon once this season and they have a fully capable quarterback that can match Bo Nix stat for stat. The Huskies have the motivation to play well since they will be hearing all week that they do not have any chance to win this game. Washington has a long winning streak and many of their games stay under the posted total allowing a strong play with a live underdog. Oregon does not have many quality wins this season, they just pass the eye test. That will not be enough to blow out Washington. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
We like to back a good team off an embarrassing loss, and we aren’t sure the Clippers are a good team but they have talent that can’t be denied. They had one of their worst losses of the Kawhi era last time out against a banged up Denver squad. We think they will give max effort here against a Kings squad that played a tough game last night. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Tennessee v. North Carolina -2 | 92-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #678 North Carolina over Tennessee (7:15p.m., Wednesday, November 29 ESPN) Always like to play North Carolina at home in the nonconference portion of the season. Tennessee has issues and went 1-2 in Hawaii. Carolina went 2-1 in the Bahamas and playing this game at home is a big advantage. Tennessee struggled to score points in Hawaii, and I see them losing this game by close to double digits on Wednesday. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -123 | 4-2 | Loss | -123 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Columbus is actually playing playoff-caliber hockey the last few games. They are 3-1 in their last four and just sent Boston home with their tails between their legs. Their lone loss was at Carolina and they played well enough to win in a one-goal road loss. Montreal has won two of their last seven, but those wins came against San Jose (SO) and Anaheim by one, so not impressed. The Canadiens have won only two of their last 10 visits here. |
|||||||
11-28-23 | Rider v. Maryland -16.5 | 76-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #606 Maryland over Rider (7p.m., Tuesday, November 18 BTN+) The Terrapins sit at 3-3 on the season and need to string together some nonconference wins to get a more respectable record. Tonight, should be a perfect opportunity for a 20+ point victory. Rider is a terrible team that will enter having lost 4 straight games and are just collecting check with 6 straight road games. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Sixers have won nine of the last 10 meetings and covered in seven of those games. The Sixers are a more complete team at this point of the season. The Lakers two stars are banged up for this game, and LeBron could miss the game. We like the Sixers for a big win whether LeBron and AD play or not. Every team gives their best effort against the Lakers, but this is just another game for LA, who is trying to work out the kinks. This team is definitely focused on the postseason more than the regular season. Philly has been one of the best betting teams this season, and they are undervalued again today. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Boston didn’t win the cup last season, but this is the team that most opponents get hyped to play. Are you going to get more hyped if Boston or Vegas comes to town? The answer is obvious. Columbus is playing their best hockey of the season recently. They have won two of the last three, including a road win in New Jersey, and they have covered the puckline in five of their last seven losses. The Bruins are playing their worst stretch of hockey recently. They have lost three of the last four. Their defense has dropped from the No. 1 spot after allowing 12 goals in their last two games. The Blue Jackets have won of covered the puckline in three of the last four visits from the Bruins. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Ducks v. Oilers -1.5 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Anaheim has been very streaky but they are on a definite downswing of poor form right now as they have lost five straight. Edmonton has had a very difficult schedule lately but they demolished a Washington team that had been playing well, 5-0, on the road. We think the positive momentum will continue here. Once the offense starts working, this team is going to start stacking wins, and they haven’t scored fewer than three goals in the last seven. We think the Washington win can be a springboard for this team. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Texas A&M v. Iowa State OVER 134.5 | 73-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #743 Over in Texas A&M vs Iowa State (6:30p.m., Sunday, November 26 ESPN2) The Aggies have gone over today’s posted number in 9 straight games. Look for that to continue on Sunday, as consolation games tend to be played more up-tempo. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Hawks v. Celtics -7.5 | 103-113 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Boston has covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. They match up well with the Hawks, who are one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA this season at 5-10 ATS. This line is more than fair on Sunday as we expect the Celtics to score a double-digit win. Boston has struggled ATS recently but they have had a road heavy schedule. Some home cooking is just what the doctor ordered today. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Bills v. Eagles -3 | 34-37 | Push | 0 | 98 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #268 Philadelphia Eagles over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) The Bills are still a public team and thus get overvalued for the talent they have. They pounded the Jets, but now must face the best team in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles do not lose games at home, and they are better on both sides of the ball. We will lay the field goal in this game. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Jaguars -1 v. Texans | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 94 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #251 Jacksonville Jaguars over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) TOP FOOTBALL PLAY OF THE WEEKEND Houston should have lost last week to Arizona, as CJ Stroud played his worst game as a professional. Now they face the divisional leader Jaguars, a team that just destroyed the Titans last time out. Just feel the Texans will hit a wall in the later portion of the season. The Jaguars have won 8 straight games playing outside of Jacksonville (8-0 ATS as well). Houston is not ready for primetime, and Trevor Lawrence and company will lock up the division with a victory today. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Arizona -10.5 v. Arizona State | 59-23 | Win | 100 | 97 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #195 Arizona Wildcats over Arizona State Sun Devils (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 25 ESPN) The territorial cup features the Wildcats as clearly the best team in this matchup for the first time in quite some time. Arizona has won 5 straight games and will know by kickoff if they have a chance to play in the PAC-12 Championship Game next Friday in Las Vegas. ASU played Oregon last week and expect there to be a lingering effect from that game into this game. It is a rivalry and ASU will be up for this game, but Arizona is just too talented on both sides of the football for that to matter. The Wildcats showed last week they are not afraid to run up the score and they will win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Ohio State v. Michigan -3.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 94 h 0 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #142 Michigan Wolverines over Ohio State Buckeyes (12p.m., Saturday, November 25 FOX) This game is for all the marbles with the winner winning the Big 10 Championship Game next week and a ticket to the playoffs. Ohio State has been one dimensional on offense and whoever runs the football better wins this game (happened over 20 years in a row). Ohio State is 8th in the Big 10 in rushing this season. I feel Michigan is better in all 3 phases of the game especially on special teams. Ohio State has Marvin Harrison, but their quarterback is subpar and I just do not believe he can beat them with his arm. Michigan against the world continues, as the Wolverines advance to the playoff with a double-digit victory at the Big House. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Oregon State v. Oregon -13 | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #136 Oregon Ducks over Oregon State Beavers (8:30p.m., Friday, November 24 FOX) The Civil War has both teams strong this season, but Oregon is just better. The Beavers faltered to move the football last week against a weak Washington defense. Now they must have their rival and a team that may be the best in the country. Oregon is 12-3 straight-up in their last 15 games against Oregon State. Bo Nix is looking to win the Heisman and expect him to light up the scoreboard and make a statement in this game. Sooner or later Oregon will get hot on offense and win this game by 20+ points. The Ducks need to run up the scoreboard in order to impress the selection committee. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Baylor -2.5 v. Florida | 95-91 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #859 Baylor over Florida (5:30p.m., Friday, November ESPN) Baylor has better guards in this game and will take care of business at the Barclays Center and win the NIT Tip-off Championship. The Gators already have a loss to an so-so Virginia team in a netural site and they are not in the same class as Baylor. Scott Drew always seems to go on a long winning streak to open the season and 2023 should be no different. All of Baylor’s 5 wins have come over the posted number. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Stanford v. Michigan -2.5 | 78-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #768 Michigan over Stanford (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 ESPN2) Michigan is the fresher team in this game and that will be the difference in this battle to earn a chance for fifth place in the consolation round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Stanford is coming off a double overtime loss to Arkansas yesterday and I do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game. Michigan does not want to lose three straight games and thus expect them to take care of business on Thursday night. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Commanders +11.5 v. Cowboys | 10-45 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #107 Washington Commanders over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 CBS) We will grab the double-digits in this divisional matchup in a short week for both teams. Washington is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as an underdog. Dallas has blown out bad teams all season long, but that just cannot continue to happen for a 17-game season. QB Sam Howell has some ability and if he can play a clean game Washington should be able to keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Mavs -3 v. Lakers | 104-101 | Push | 0 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Dallas -3 over LA Lakers (10:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Dallas is well rested, while the Lakers are on a B2B. We think Dallas is the better squad at this point of the season, and they normally bring their A Game against the Lakers, as they are 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Not only does Dallas get up for the Lakers, but they will be anxious to snap their two-game losing streak. Best of Luck, Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Kings -1.5 v. Pelicans | 112-117 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play Take Sacramento -1.5 over New Orleans (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) We were on the Kings last time these teams played on Monday, and Sacramento didn't show up and suffered their worst loss of the season. This is a better team than New Orleans, it's difficult to beat the same team in consecutive games in the NBA, and we love to back good teams after an embarrassing loss. We expect a big bounce back from the Kings tonight and think they get a comfortable win. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Bulls v. Thunder -7 | 102-116 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play Take Oklahoma City -7 over Chicago (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Chicago is a team to fade almost every game. This team just stinks despite some nice talent, and they have maybe the worst chemistry in the NBA. We have been hesitant to play OKC too much because they have turned into the hunted rather than the hunter, but they just continue to be one of the best bets in the NBA. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Grizzlies v. Rockets -5 | 91-111 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Houston -5 over Memphis (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Houston had a six-game winning streak but followed that up with three straight losses. Those were all on the road against some of the favorites in the West, and they covered in all three of those games. Now they take a big step down in talent and we think this is a great bounce back spot against a Memphis team that has all sorts of problems at the moment. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Raptors v. Pacers UNDER 241 | 132-131 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play Take Toronto/Indiana UNDER 238.5 (7:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) We were on the over for the Pacers game last night and we mentioned that soon it was time to fade the over in Pacers games. We think tonight is a perfect opportunity as this line was overinflated by maybe 5 points. The NBA is never as easy as blindly following a trend, and with both teams on a B2B, we see some offensive struggles. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Hawks | 145-147 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Brooklyn +3.5 over Atlanta (7:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Easy call here. This is one of the best ATS teams (Brooklyn, 9-3-1 ATS) against one of the worst (Atlanta, 4-9 ATS). This is a very winnable game for the road team, and Brooklyn pretty much brings the same effort on a nightly basis while the Hawks can't say the same. Brooklyn is well rested, while the Hawks played in a track meet last night. |

11-22-23 | Arkansas v. Stanford UNDER 154.5 | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #720 Under in Arkansas vs Stanford (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 22 ESPNU) This total has really come down in the morning and I feel it is for good reason. It is always tough to shoot in this ballroom at the Atlantis and Stanford will need to slow down the pace. Look for neither team to reach 80 points in scoring and we will collect with the under. |

11-22-23 | Sabres v. Capitals UNDER 6.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -120 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play Take Buffalo/Washington UNDER 6.5 (-120) (7 p.m. EST, Wednesday November 22) These teams are a combined 23-9 to the under this season. We expect another low scoring game here. Buffalo was one of the best offensive teams in the NHL last season. But that has been anything but the case this season. Their offense is ranked No. 24 in the NHL at 2.8 goals per game. They have been even worse lately, where they have averaged only two goals per game in their last six, including one shutout. Washington is even worse offensively, on average, at No. 31 in scoring. The Capitals have built their impressive record on the back of their defense, which is No. 6 in goals allowed. Buffalo has also been much stronger on the defensive side. Since the league was off Tuesday, these teams should be well rested and bring a lot of energy on defense, especially since they have Thursday off as well. The under is 4-0 in the Sabres last four road games. The under is 8-2 in the Caps last 10 home games. We feel like there is great value in the under tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

11-22-23 | Tennessee v. Kansas -1 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Kansas over Tennessee (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 22 ESPN) Kansas needs to win today to avoid recording no quality wins for the Maui Invitational. The Jayhawks have the size and strength to matchup with the Volunteers down low and they are more skilled on the perimeter. |
|||||||
11-21-23 | Bowling Green -2 v. Western Michigan | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #103 Bowling Green Falcons over Western Michigan Broncos (7p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPNU) The Falcons are going bowling and took Toledo to the wire last week. They will enter this game having won 4 of their last 5 games. Western Michigan cannot become bowl eligible even if they win this game on senior night and thus, I do not expect them to come out strong in this game. The Broncos have not beaten many of the top teams in the league in 2023 and tonight should be no different. The Falcons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |

11-21-23 | Syracuse +13 v. Gonzaga | 57-76 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #651 Syracuse over Gonzaga (2:30p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPN2) Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in year’s past. Syracuse should have covered yesterday a similar number to what they will see today against a better Tennessee team. Gonzaga is disappointed they did not make the semifinals and thus playing for fifth place will not excite them much for this game. Take the points in the consolation bracket. |

11-20-23 | Flames -101 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Seattle may have the better record but Calgary is the better team off to a slow start. They have shown signs of improvement lately and this is an extremely winnable game for them. Calgary has won two of the last three and four of the last seven, with two shootout losses to better clubs than Seattle. Calgary has a strong history of playing here. They are 5-0 all time in Seattle. They are 7-1 all time in this series. Seattle had an amazing season last year as they came out of nowhere, but they just don’t seem as strong this season and we don’t think this is a playoff team. |

11-20-23 | Eagles v. Chiefs -2.5 | Top | 21-17 | Loss | -125 | 148 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Kansas City Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Monday, November 20 ABC) This is a rematch of Super Bowl 57 and I look for the Chiefs to win this game again. Philadelphia has been winning ugly much of the season and it will catch up to them in this game. Andy Reid is 27-4 in his career following a bye week. Kansas City is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against NFC teams. Coach Reid will enjoy beating his former team for the second time in less than a year. |

11-20-23 | Kings -115 v. Pelicans | Top | 93-129 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
We just don’t like this New Orleans team this year. They started hot out of the gates last year and then faded, but they look much worse this year. They have some moments and there is talent here, but their star and franchise cornerstone has lots of bad karma surrounding him and it seems he doesn’t have the mental fortitude to become a superstar in this league. Sacramento has won six straight and has won and covered every game of this current road trip. They are 8-4 ATS on the year and continue to be underrated by the oddsmakers. They won the last two meetings in blowouts, and we expect a comfortable win here tonight. |

11-20-23 | Wisconsin +3.5 v. Virginia | 65-41 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #887 Wisconsin over Virginia (6p.m., Monday, November 20 FS1) Wisconsin and Virginia have very similar styles and sooner or later Wisconsin is going to cover a spread with all their experience. Virginia lost a lot of talent from last year and will struggle to score 70 points in this game. Whoever shoots it better from the arc will win and I look for that to be Wisconsin. |

11-19-23 | Thunder -6.5 v. Blazers | 134-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
OKC has covered in seven of the last eight meetings. They have won six of seven and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. And those were no bottom feeders, either, as they scored B2B wins over the Warriors, beat the Suns, and also the Cavs. Portland has lost three straight by double digits and they are in for a long night tonight. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Sabres v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two struggling teams, but we think it’s worth it to buy the goals for the home team tonight. These teams normally play close games. The last three meetings all went to OT, and five of the last six meetings were decided by one goal. The Sabres have won only one meeting in the last 12 visits to Chicago. We think the home team has a decent chance to win outright but we don’t see them getting blown out. |

11-19-23 | Winnipeg v. Montreal OVER 47 | Top | 24-28 | Win | 100 | 53 h 32 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #441 OVER in Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. Montreal Alouettes (6 p.m., Sunday, November 19 FL+) 2023 Grey Cup. While Montreal's defense has been stout during their playoff run to the Grey Cup, stopping Winnipeg's #1 ranked scoring offense (33 ppg during the regular season) is a different story. Montreal's offense has perked up during the postseason as well, averaging 32.5 ppg. These two teams met back in August, and Winnipeg won 47-14, going well north of the total. This will be a fantastic Grey Cup to watch as there should be points aplenty, making the over the best bet. |
