11-14-20 | South Florida v. Houston -13.5 | 21-56 | Win | 100 | 96 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #172 Houston Cougars over USF Bulls (3p.m., Saturday, November 14 ESPN+) Just do not see the Bulls putting forth another good effort like they did last week against Memphis. This will be their second straight road game and Houston is 4-0 against them (3-1 ATS) in their last 4 meetings as conference opponents. USF is 1-6 on the season with their only win coming against the Citadel. They have been blown out by Cincinnati, Notre Dame, East Carolina, and Tulsa. Houston has played a tough schedule in 2020 and they are ready to beat up on a lesser opponent. USF is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Houston is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |

11-13-20 | East Carolina v. Cincinnati -27.5 | 17-55 | Win | 100 | 76 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #130 Cincinnati Bearcats over East Carolina Pirates (7:30p.m., Friday, November 13 ESPN2) Apparently the Bearcats will not play any more road games this season. This is their third straight home game and by far the weakest of the three opponents. Cincinnati has beaten East Carolina in 8 of the last 9 games (6-3 ATS) and they may have the best defense in the country. The Bearcats have a realistic chance to make the college football playoff, but this cannot just win game, they must dominate. Cincinnati has an 897-173 edge in rushing over their last 3 opponents. East Carolina is 0-5 in their last 5 games played in Cincinnati. The Bearcats are 9-4 ATS in their last 12 home games. Until Cincinnati does not cover a game, we will continue to ride them. |

11-08-20 | Dolphins v. Cardinals -4.5 | 34-31 | Loss | -110 | 121 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Arizona Cardinals over Miami Dolphins (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 8 CBS) Miami is all in on Tua but their win last week was a little bit of fool’s gold. The Rams dominated the stat sheet, but special teams and turnovers did them in. Arizona will not be as generous today, as the Cardinals are well within the playoffs race but play in an extremely competitive division. Just do not believe Miami has the weapons on offense to attack this suspect Arizona defense. QB Wilson picked apart Miami and Arizona just beat Seattle last time out. Just cannot back a team that had a 31-8 deficit in first downs last week. Miami is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record. |

11-08-20 | Raiders v. Chargers -1 | 31-26 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Los Angeles Chargers over Las Vegas Raiders (4:05p.m., Sunday, November 8 CBS) Was not that impressed with the Raiders last week and playing their second straight road game will doom them on Sunday. The Chargers continue to be tough luck losers, but they seem to have found their quarterback in Justin Herbert. Cleveland just could not get off the field last week against Las Vegas but expect the Chargers to be able to make some plays on defense and force the Raiders to punt from time to time. Las Vegas is 17-36 ATS (1 push) in their last 54 games following a victory in their previous game. Los Angeles is 9-3 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. |

11-08-20 | Giants +3.5 v. Washington Football Team | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 117 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take New York Giants over Washington Football Team (1p.m., Sunday, November 8 FOX) Just do not believe that Washington should be favored by this many points against any team in the NFL. New York has won 5 of the last 6 games with Washington and they are 14-3 in their last 17 games when they are an underdog playing on the road. This is the first time in 14 games that Washington is favored to win a game. The Giants should some life last week against Tampa Bay and expect that to carryover into this game as well. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games between the Giants and Football Team. Washington is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a bye week. |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Tennessee -1.5 v. Arkansas | 13-24 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #403 Tennessee Volunteers over Arkansas Razorbacks (7:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 SECN) Tennessee got a much-needed bye week to regroup after three straight losses and expect them to take care of business on the road against Arkansas Saturday night. After losing to Alabama last year, Tennessee would go on to win six straight games and I see a similar streak happening today. Arkansas is better this year, but I cannot overlook the fact that they are 4-24 straight-up in their last 28 games. Tennessee is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 road games. |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Clemson -5 v. Notre Dame | 40-47 | Loss | -114 | 100 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #401 Clemson Tigers over Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 NBC) Clemson getting D.J. Uiagalelei some game action last week was huge, and I expect him to play even better tonight in South Bend. The Tigers turned it on in the second half against Boston College scoring the last 24 points in that game. Notre Dame is 6-0 this season but it is a little bit of fools gold, as every team that they have played this season has a losing record. Clemson just is on another talent level compared to Notre Dame and even without Trevor Lawrence they will win this game by double digits. Clemson is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 road games when they are favored. |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Houston v. Cincinnati -13 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #328 Cincinnati Bearcats over Houston Cougars (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 ESPN) We used the Bearcats last week as our top play and never looked back as they cruised to a 49-10 victory against Memphis. Now they take a step down in class facing Houston, again at home with fans in the stands. The Bearcats may have the best defense in the country and Houston has not done anything to show me that they can stay with good teams. Their two losses have come by an average of 20 points per game, well over today’s posted number. The Bearcats are 7-3 straight-up and 7-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games against Houston. Still not sold that Dana Holgorsen is this offensive genius that can keep this program as a 10-win team in the AAC. They were 4-8 last year and do not see them being more than a .500 team this year. Lay the points with the best defensive team in the country. |

11-05-20 | Packers v. 49ers +7 | 34-17 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #301 San Francisco 49ers +7 over Green Bay Packers (8:20p.m., Thursday, November 5 NFLN) People cannot get their money in fast enough on the Packers for the game tonight. Both teams have people out (49ers have more) but Rodgers struggles in his home state of California and I do not envision a blowout tonight. San Francisco is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games against the Packers. |
|||||||
11-01-20 | Raiders v. Browns -2.5 | Top | 16-6 | Loss | -110 | 117 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #260 Cleveland Browns over Las Vegas Raiders (1p.m., Sunday, November 1 CBS) Just feel the line is light and we will side with the home team looking for their sixth victory on the season. OBJ is out, but Cleveland still has a ton of weapons and QB Mayfield should be able to pick apart this suspect Raiders defense. Las Vegas has a ton of issues on both sides of the football and Cleveland usually does well when not playing Pittsburgh or Baltimore. The Raiders have allowed 30+ points in 5 of their last 6 games including 12 rushing touchdowns during this span. Cleveland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against Las Vegas. The Raiders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 AFC games. |
|||||||
10-31-20 | Nevada v. UNLV +14 | 37-19 | Loss | -100 | 101 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #154 UNLV Rebels over Nevada Wolf Pack (10:30p.m., Saturday, October 31 FS1) Just feel this is an overaction from the games last week. Nevada is the better team in this game, but the Rebels will be up for this game. Fans will be allowed in at Allegiant Stadium and UNLV has won this game two straight years (underdog in both games). The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings for the Freemont Cannon. Nevada is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. UNLV is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
10-31-20 | North Carolina -6.5 v. Virginia | 41-44 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #113 North Carolina Tar Heels over Virginia Cavaliers (8p.m., Saturday, October 31 ACCN) The visitor is 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings and I just believe the Carolina offense is much better. Virginia will not be able to keep pace in this game, as I do not think they are capable of scoring 40+ points in this game. QB Sam Howell got back on track last week putting up 48 points and if he does that again in this game the visitor should easily cover. North Carolina is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. The favorite is also 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between UFC and UVA. |
|||||||
10-31-20 | Memphis v. Cincinnati -6.5 | Top | 10-49 | Win | 100 | 91 h 54 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #138 Cincinnati Bearcats over Memphis Tigers (12p.m., Saturday, October 31 ESPN) Really like this Cincinnati team and we will continue to use them with these low numbers. The Bearcats won in Dallas last week against SMU as a small underdog. Now they are back at home and face an easier team in Memphis. Payback is also on the line, as Memphis beat Cincinnati in back to back games last year to earn the Group of 5 New Year’s Six Bowl bid (Cincinnati covered both games). But this is not the same Memphis team, as they have a new coaching staff and gave up 500 total yards to Temple last week. The Bearcats has an outstanding defense allowing just 12.5 point per game and if they can score close to 30 points in this game they should easily cover. Cincinnati is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against Memphis. The Tigers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. |
|||||||
10-25-20 | Seahawks -3 v. Cardinals | 34-37 | Loss | -120 | 123 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #467 Seattle Seahawks over Arizona Cardinals (4:05p.m., Sunday, October FOX) Arizona will not be facing Andy Dalton and a dysfunctional team on Sunday. The Seahawks are coming off a bye and get to face Arizona on a short week, as the Cardinals played on Monday night football. Seattle won in Glendale by 17 points and I see another double-digit victory for the road team on Sunday. QB Wilson is playing at an MVP level and the coaches are finally letting him throw the ball early in games. Seattle is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 years coming off a bye week. The Seahawks are 13-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 road games. The Cardinals are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a victory of more than 14 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
10-25-20 | Chiefs v. Broncos +10.5 | Top | 43-16 | Loss | -125 | 119 h 17 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #472 Denver Broncos over Kansas City Chiefs (4:25p.m., Sunday, October 25 CBS) Denver is coming off a big victory at Foxborough last Sunday, a team the Chiefs struggled to beat. Now Kansas City must play in the Mile-High air on short rest against a team that is desperate to remain in the playoff race. Kansas City has dominated Denver in recent years but getting Drew Lock back should stabilize the Broncos offense. The Broncos are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of October. |
|||||||
10-25-20 | Packers -3 v. Texans | 35-20 | Win | 100 | 116 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #465 Green Bay Packers over Houston Texas (1p.m., Sunday, October 25 FOX) When the Packers lose, they tend to get blown out, but they usually bounce back strong. Romeo Crennel made a play to be the permanent coach of the Texans that backfired last week against Tennessee. Now he knows he will not be retained, and the Texans are just playing out the string. Green Bay is 3-1 ATS in this matchup with Houston and the Texans are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. 75% of the early money is on Green Bay and expect them to win this game by 7+ points. Houston is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. |
|||||||
10-25-20 | Browns v. Bengals +3.5 | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 116 h 50 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #452 Cincinnati Bengals over Cleveland Browns (1p.m., Sunday, October 25 CBS) Cleveland had a devastating loss last week at Pittsburgh and I am not sure they will be able to right the ship in just one week. The Bengals played the Browns tough in the first meeting and I see this game going down to the wire as well. Cleveland does not do well as a road favorite losing both games last year in the division when that occurred. Cincinnati is getting players back on defense and expect them to win this game straight-up. Cleveland is 2-10 ATS in the last 12 meetings with Cincinnati. |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Virginia v. Miami-FL -11 | 14-19 | Loss | -117 | 99 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #330 Miami Hurricanes over Virginia Cavaliers (8p.m., Saturday, October 24 ACCN) Virginia does not have a quarterback without Brennan Armstrong and they will not be able to use 2-3 other guys and stay within single digits against Miami. If he does play, he will be rusty, and I just do not see many weapons on offense for Virginia to threaten this Miami defense. Virginia has lost three straight games including the last two by 17 points to Wake Forest and NC State. Miami could not beat Clemson (join the club) but there other 3 wins have all been by double digits. D’Eriq King is going to picks apart this defense and I just do not believe Virginia will be able to keep pace. If Miami can put it together on offense, they can score 50+ points in this game. Miami is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. Virginia is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Wyoming v. Nevada +4.5 | Top | 34-37 | Win | 100 | 98 h 50 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #382 Nevada Wolf Pack over Wyoming Cowboys (7p.m., Saturday, October 24 CBSSN) Just believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. Nevada returns a ton of talent on both sides of the football including QB Strong, who played well as the season went on last year. They should be able to move the football on a Wyoming defense that does not return much talent and have the replace their defensive coordinator for the second straight year. Nevada is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Jay Norvell lost his father this week and I think they play an inspired game in his honor. |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Virginia Tech v. Wake Forest +10 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 94 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #324 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Virginia Tech Hokies (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 24 ESPN3) We used Wake Forest last week as our Underdog Game of the Year and won it easily. Not sure why they are this big of an underdog this week against Virginia Tech, a team that could not stop North Carolina whatsoever. Wake Forest will be able to score points in this game and if they can stop the rushing attack of the Hokies, I feel they can win this game straight-up. The home team is 9-0 ATS in the last 9 games that Wake Forest has played. Wake Forest has scored 40 points in every game this year except their opener against Clemson. If they do that in this game, they should be able to cover. Virginia Tech is 7-23 ATS in their last 30 road games when they are favored. |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Florida Atlantic v. Marshall -16.5 | 9-20 | Loss | -110 | 93 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #374 Marshall Thundering Herd over FAU Owls (2:30p.m., Saturday, October 24 FSN) Never been a big fan of Willie Taggart and feel he will run this program into the ground like he did at Florida State. Marshall has won 6 of the last 7 games with FAU and have a superior defense in this matchup. They are allowing just 9.5 points per game and less than 70 rushing yards. The Owls have been off for three weeks and they struggled to put away Charlotte in their only game this season. FAU is just not the same team without Lane Kiffin and they will lose this game by 20+ points. FAU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Marshall. The Thundering Herd is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games. |
|||||||
10-19-20 | Cardinals v. Cowboys +2 | 38-10 | Loss | -108 | 104 h 11 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #276 Dallas Cowboy over Arizona Cardinals (8:15p.m., Monday, October 19 ESPN) Just do not see that much of a drop-off with Dak Prescott injured and Andy Dalton under center. Arizona has had an easy schedule, and they should be 5-0 considering the teams that they have played. Arizona is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Dallas. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 matchups between the Cardinals and Cowboys. Dallas win this game straight-up, and getting points is icing on the cake. |
|||||||
10-18-20 | Packers v. Bucs | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #271 Green Bay Packers over Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4:25p.m., Sunday, October 18 FOX) Many people did not expect the Packers to match their win total of 13 games from last year. But they are on pace to do just that and will enter this game healthy and well rested off a bye week. QB Brady is showing his age and is not playing at a level that can win games against the top teams in the league. Green Bay has won 3 straight games in this series, and the line has swung 5 points to the side of the Packers. Green Bay is better on both sides of the football, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when they are the favorite. Tampa Bay is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against NFC teams. |
|||||||
10-18-20 | Bears v. Panthers -2.5 | Top | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 22 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #252 Carolina Panthers over Chicago Bears (1p.m., Sunday, October 18 FOX) The Bears are a fraud at 4-1 and I think there is a good chance they do not even make the playoffs come January. 3 of their 4 wins have come against the Lions, Giants, and Falcons. Carolina has won 3 straight games and Chicago is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games. Carolina is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played during the month of October. The Panthers have something going with a new coach and quarterback and we will ride them again on Sunday looking for their fourth straight wins. |
|||||||
10-18-20 | Browns v. Steelers -3.5 | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 47 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #262 Pittsburgh Steelers -3.5 over Cleveland Browns (1p.m., Sunday, October 18 CBS) Cleveland has played well of late and have stayed under the radar. If they win this game everyone will take notice, but beating Pittsburgh is something they seldom do. The Browns have not won at Pittsburgh since 2003. Enough said. |
|||||||
10-17-20 | Georgia v. Alabama -3.5 | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 56 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #166 Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (8p.m., Saturday, October 17 CBS) Alabama looked terrible on defense last week, but I expect a much better effort on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. Georgia does not play an up-tempo spread offense like Ole Miss does, and I expect Alabama to play much better in this game. Georgia has a strong defense, but I am not that impressed with their offense and do not believe Stetson Bennett is a big-time, high division one quarterback. Alabama has won 5 straight games against Georgia. Alabama put up 723 yards last week, and I am just not sure Georgia can keep pace with them. The Bulldogs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Alabama is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Charlie Strong inspires the Alabama defense, and the home team win by double digits. |
|||||||
10-17-20 | Virginia v. Wake Forest +3 | Top | 23-40 | Win | 100 | 92 h 21 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #122 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Virginia Cavaliers (4p.m., Saturday, October 17 ACCN) Just feel that the wrong team is favored in this game. Wake Forest needed some time off to get healthy and I feel their offensive is explosive and can score points with their up-tempo style. Virginia has quarterback injury issues, and they are coming off a home loss to NC State. They were not competitive in that game and they have lost 3 straight games to Wake Forest. Coach Clawson has won 4 straight games when they are an underdog of 3 points or less. This team played NC State much better than did Virginia and would have won that game if not for a couple of fluke plays. Virginia is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against Wake Forest. The underdog is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 meetings between the Cavaliers and Demon Deacons. Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

10-17-20 | Juventus -1 v. Crotone | 1-1 | Loss | -124 | 4 h 51 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: Italy Serie A. Take Juventus -1 (-130) over Crotone (Saturday at 2:45pm). Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Juventus must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push. As per your selection on Juventus, they have enough firepower even without Ronaldo in the lineup to make quick work of newly-promoted side Crotone. Juventus will score at least three goals against a Crotone side that has conceded 10 goals in three games this season while finding the back of the net just twice. Juventus gets the win and we cash another soccer ticket. |
|||||||
10-17-20 | Kentucky v. Tennessee -6 | 34-7 | Loss | -112 | 22 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #134 Tennessee Volunteers -6 over Kentucky Wildcats (12p.m., Saturday, October 17 SECN) Tennessee has dominated this series and giving less than 7 points makes this a strong play for us. Tennessee is 33-2 straight up and 26-9 ATS against Kentucky over the last 35 meetings. I just trust the Tennessee offense more in this game and hopefully we see the good Jarrett Guarantano in this game. The Volunteers are 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 SEC games. |

10-16-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take # LA Dodgers (-1.5 RL ) over Atlanta (9:05 p.m. Friday, October 16) Just when it seemed like this was the year the Dodgers were going to finally break through and bring another World Series back to Los Angeles, they run into the buzzsaw that is the Atlanta Braves. LA is one game from elimination, but I think they are going to stave off elimination, at least for tonight and get a win. Dustin May has been highly effective this year being mostly used as a starter during the regular season, and he will take the ball for tonight's game. It will be interesting to see how long he will last in tonight's game because he has only pitched 4.2 innings in three postseason appearances allowing just one hit. The Braves will most likely go with an opener and save Max Fried for a potential game 6 and keep him on his regular rest seeing how they have a 3-1 lead. I like the Dodgers in this spot. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

10-11-20 | Dolphins v. 49ers -9 | 43-17 | Loss | -108 | 70 h 26 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #470 San Francisco 49ers -9 over Miami Dolphins (4:05p.m., Sunday, October 11 FOX) TOP NFL PLAY OF THE WEEK The 49ers are starting to get healthy and feel that this is a game that will get them back on track. San Francisco has a brutal schedule on deck and will enter that gauntlet at 3-2 on the year. Miami is sticking with QB Fitzpatrick for some reason and he does not give either side of the football much confidence. Seattle moved the football at will, had a red zone interception and still won a true road game by 8 points. The 49ers have a much better defense than does Seattle and I expect Miami to struggle moving the football against them. San Francisco beats bad teams big and that will be the case again on Sunday. Miami is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against San Francisco. The 49ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. |

10-11-20 | Bengals +13.5 v. Ravens | 3-27 | Loss | -115 | 117 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #467 Cincinnati Bengals over Baltimore Ravens (1p.m., Sunday, October 11 CBS) This is just a lot of points to be giving for a divisional game. Cincinnati is capable now on offense of moving the football and scoring some points. Baltimore is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite against other AFC North teams (Pittsburgh, Cleveland, & Cincinnati). The stats lasts week against Washington were not that impressive for Baltimore. Washington had 6 more first down in that game and Baltimore had just 7 more total yards. The Bengals are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games when they are an underdog. Baltimore is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 home games. |

10-10-20 | Oklahoma v. Texas +2 | 53-45 | Loss | -110 | 92 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #324 Texas Longhorns over Oklahoma Sooners (12p.m., Saturday, October 10 FOX) Both teams are struggling at the moment, but Texas has covered the spread in 7 of the last 10 meetings with Oklahoma. The Longhorns have the edge at quarterback in this game for the first time in years and I have not been that impressed with Sooner Quarterback Spencer Rattler. Unlike Sam Ehlinger, he does not have the ability to beat you with his legs. Texas is a better team and Tom Herman is a better coach when they are the underdog and less is expected of them. The Sooners are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Longhorns are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games as an underdog. |

10-10-20 | Virginia Tech v. North Carolina -5 | Top | 45-56 | Win | 100 | 92 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #320 North Carolina Tar Heels over Virginia Tech Hokies (12p.m. Saturday, October 10 ABC) Both teams return a ton of talent from 2019 but I just feel Carolina has a major edge at quarterback and that will be the difference in this game. Braxton Burnmeister has not looked good in either start this season and has not thrown for over 170 yards in either game. QB Hendon Hooker may play in this game but he will be rusty having not played a snap this season. Virginia Tech had covid issues last week holding out a bunch of players. Carolina did not look impressive last week but they had a ton of time off and playing last week should get them back in the groove for this game. The Tar Heels have a strong rushing defense and the better quarterback in this game. Those are two indicators that this is the right side to take. The home team has covered the spread in this series 4 of the last 5 games. Virginia Tech is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Carolina is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |

10-07-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 104 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #918 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (2:05 p.m. Wednesday, October 7) The Marlins had an early lead in yesterday's game, but they woke a sleeping giant when they plunked Robert Acuna in the bottom of the third inning that got the Braves going. Ian Anderson will be on the mound for Atlanta and the rookie has been great all season long. Anderson was sharp in his postseason debut allowing just 2 hits while striking out 9 over 6 innings of a 5-0 win against the Reds and I think he will come through again today. Pablo Lopez will be making his postseason debut and he has had mixed results against the Braves in this season and his career as he owns a 2-4 record with a 4.43 ERA across 8 starts. Atlanta is the more talented team and I think they get the win again today to take a 2-0 series lead. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

10-06-20 | Lakers -7.5 v. Heat | Top | 102-96 | Loss | -101 | 34 h 46 m | Show |
The Lakers sometimes need a wake up call, and they got it Sunday when they were pretty much blown out by the Heat in Game 3. They haven’t lost much in this postseason, but when they have they have bounced back strong in their next game. We see them playing much better on Tuesday, and the oddsmakers have adjusted this number and the Lakers are now more attractive on the spread. Miami is a plucky team and they have had a great postseason for the ages. But when it comes down to pure talent and superstar power, the Lakers have a huge edge. And if they play up to their potential, which they did not do in Game 3, there is no reason they should not win this one by double digits. |

10-06-20 | Aces +8 v. Storm | 59-92 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Seattle (Tuesday at 7pm) As per your selection on Vegas, we can't see them laying down and allowing Seattle to blow them out and win the title at their expense. These two teams are supposed to be relatively even and if not for a bad couple of quarters in each of the first two games, the Aces could very well be up 2-0 or at the very least tied 1-1. Vegas needs to clamp down defensively and we see this as a lower scoring affair this favoring the underdog. |

10-06-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 103 | 3 h 6 m | Show |
10-Unit Play. Take #910 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (2:05 p.m. Tuesday, October 6) The Marlins have had a great season and its been a nice story, but I think this is where their season comes to an end. The Braves have won the National League East the past three seasons building to this and I think their playoff experience will pay dividends in this game and in the series. Max Fried has been sensational this season going 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA over 11 starts. Fried allowed more than 2 earned runs in just one of his 11 starts and the Braves have won ten out of the eleven starts he has made. Sandy Alcantara will be on the bump for Miami and he has been solid this season going 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA over 7 starts during the regular season. However, he wasn't as sharp in two day starts allowing 9 runs (6 earned) on 11 hits (2 HR) over 10 innings. Atlanta won the season series 6-4 outscoring the Marlins 68-44 and I think they will do just that in this matchup as well. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

10 Unit Play. Take #276 Las Vegas Raiders over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, October 4 CBS) Karma will bite the Buffalo Bills in this game. They were very fortunate to win last week against the Rams with the help of a questionable pass interference call kept their game winning driver alive. The Raiders got worn down last week against the Patriots but expect them to bounce back in a big way at home today against the Bills. The Raiders played well against the Saints and expect them to find their form from that game. Buffalo is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Oakland. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played during the month of October. Oakland is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |

4 Unit Play. Take #266 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Los Angeles Chargers (1p.m., Sunday, October 4 CBS) Just believe the Buccaneers continue to be a little under valued and feel they will win this game by double digits. The Chargers are coming off a bad home loss to the Panthers and they are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games. QB Brady is coming off his best performance on the year in which he threw for 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in a dominating victory at Denver last Sunday. Tampa Bay is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games. |

7 Unit Play. Take #153 Auburn Tigers over Georgia Bulldogs (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 3 ESPN) Top College Football Play of the Week The Bulldogs are banking on a big upgrade on offense with QB JT Daniels clear to play but I just do not see an offensive explosion. They struggled last week with Arkansas trailing 7-5 at halftime and I do not expect their offensive line to hold up in this game against Auburn. The Tigers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games. Auburn has not had much success against Georgia in recent years, but I like there quarterback better and the talent is just too even to be giving this many points. Auburn can win this game straight-up and expect them to easily cover the spread. |

Both teams experienced dramatic games last week with Kansas State beating Oklahoma and Texas Tech blowing a big lead late against Texas. The Wildcats have dominated this matchup winning 8 of their last 9 games against the Red Raiders (7-2 ATS). Texas Tech just does not historically win these types of games, especially on the road. They have allowed 30+ points in 10 of their last 11 games. Texas Tech is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. Kansas State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Big 12 games. |

10-03-20 | Missouri v. Tennessee -11.5 | 12-35 | Win | 100 | 72 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #116 Tennessee Volunteers over Missouri Tigers (12p.m., Saturday, October 3 SECN) The Tigers 38-19 loss last week against Alabama was very misleading. Missouri trailed 35-3 before they produced some yardage and points after Alabama took the pedal off the gas and substituted backups into the game. We used Tennessee as our top play last week and they were in control of that game despite being terrible on third down. Tennessee won this game last year as an underdog and they currently have the longest winning streak of any team in the country. Missouri is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. Tennessee is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 SEC games. |

10-02-20 | Storm v. Aces +5.5 | 93-80 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Vegas +5.5 over Seattle (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on Vegas plus the points against Seattle, look it's always a risky proposition going against the Storm who've been a class above everyone else so far in the Wubble, but if there is a team that can slow down the Storm on the defensive end, or keeps up with them if needed on the other side of the floor, it's the Aces. The Aces have an abundance of talent and despite having fewer rest days than the Storm, we feel that their momentum from a big Game 5 win against the Sun can carry over into Game 1 of this WNBA Finals. Vegas is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog and 5-0 ATS in their last five games vs a team with a winning record. Seattle is just 1-4 ATS in their last five following a SU win and so we expect this game to be a final possession type of game. |

10-01-20 | Stoke City v. Aston Villa -1 | 1-0 | Loss | -114 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
6-Unit Play. Competition: England EFL Cup. Take Aston Villa -1 (-105) over Stoke City (Thursday at 2 pm). Includes 90 minutes + injury time. For this selection to win, Villa must win by two or more goals. A one-goal win is a push. As per your selection on Villa to get this win by multiple goals, we believe they are far and away the better side in this matchup and come into this game oozing confidence after having easily beaten Fulham 3-0 in their last contest. That brought Villa's run to five straight wins where they've outscored the opposition 11-1. Stoke City, on the other hand, sits in England's second division and while they have had a good run of form lately, are simply a class behind Villa in this contest. We'll always side with the team that can score goals and Villa fits the bill in this game. |

09-29-20 | Blue Jays v. Rays -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 109 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #936 Tampa Bay (-1.5, +110) over Tampa Bay (5:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 29) The Toronto Blue Jays have to feel like they are ahead of schedule by making the playoffs this season, but I think it will be a short lived experience. The Rays had the best record in the American League and they were great at home this season going 20-9. 2018 Cy Young award winner Blake Snell will be on the mound for Tampa Bay and I think he will be ready to lead his team to victory. Snell was tough when pitching at home this year carrying a 2.57 ERA across 21 innings which was over a run lower as compared to when he pitched on the road. Matt Shoemaker will be pitching game 1 for the Blue Jays and has made one career postseason start which was back in 2014. Shoemaker has battled shoulder injuries this year and brings an ERA of 4.71 against a Rays team that has won nine of their past 11 games. I like the Rays to flex their muscle in game 1.

09-27-20 | Celtics -3 v. Heat | 113-125 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Unlike the previous series for these two teams, the over has been the play here in this series, and four of the five games have gone over the posted total. The one that didn’t was only one point under. But the bookies have not adjusted this totals number much. These are two defensive teams, so that’s understandable. And the playoff normally focus on defense. But even with some lapses in scoring, these teams have been pretty good offensively.. They both shot well in Game 5, and Boston had their breakout game of the series on offense with 121 points in the win. We think they can match that effort here today as we think the momentum has switched sides, and this total looks about five points too low. |

09-27-20 | Lions v. Cardinals -5.5 | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -105 | 120 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #484 Arizona Cardinals over Detroit Lions (4:25p.m., Sunday, September 27 FOX) Just do not understand these lines the last two weeks with the Lions. They jumped up on Green Bay 14-3 last week and still got killed. Now they are on the road for a second straight week and most believe they have a lame duck coach and the team is going nowhere fast. Arizona is getting more confident each week and Kyler Murray looks like he was worth taking as the No. 1 overall pick. The Lions have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 11 games. Detroit is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games in the desert. The Cardinals are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. |

09-26-20 | Nuggets v. Lakers -5.5 | Top | 107-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
The Nuggets have had a great run. They came back from big deficits against the Jazz and Clippers to win those series. But we think they don’t have another rally in them. Both of their series before this went to Game 7. This team has played a lot of basketball, and we think that this might be a real ugly game for them. The Lakers want to end this while the Celtics/Heat series is still going to give themselves some extra time to rest, and we expect them to go all out tonight while they have the Nuggets on the ropes. They don’t want Denver winning this one and getting confidence for another 3-1 comeback. We think they play lockdown defense and shut down a Denver offense that should be running on fumes here. We think this is a great chance for a double-digit Lakers win, and we are getting the best line of the series for the favorites. |

09-26-20 | Tennessee -3 v. South Carolina | Top | 31-27 | Win | 100 | 100 h 35 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #405 Tennessee Volunteers over South Carolina Gamecocks (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 26 SECN) Tennessee got off to a horrible start last year but beating South Carolina by 21 points was the turning point. That was the first game of a six-game winning streak to close out the 2019 season. Tennessee is more experienced and that is a good thing since practices have been hard to come by during this Covid summer. The visitor is 18-5 ATS in the last 23 games between Tennessee and USC. Carolina was terrible on offense last year and I just do not have confidence that Will Muschamp is the guy to turn this program around. South Carolina is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Tennessee is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 SEC games. |

09-26-20 | Louisville v. Pittsburgh -2.5 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 92 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #402 Pittsburgh Panthers over Louisville Cardinals (12p.m., Saturday, September 26 ACCN) WKU losing straight-up despite being a big favorite to Liberty last Saturday was an indicator that this Louisville team is not all that good. The Cardinals lost at home to Miami later that evening and I do not see things getting better for them on the road at Pittsburgh. The Panthers were not very impressive either against Syracuse but remember that the Orange hung around against North Carolina for three quarters before collapsing in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh has won 5 of the last 6 games against Louisville and has covered the spread in 6 of the last 7 meetings. The Panthers dominated more than the score indicated last week but missed three field goals. They clean that up today and win this one by double digits. |

09-25-20 | Heat v. Celtics -3 | Top | 108-121 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
We have not given up on Boston yet and think they have a good chance to extend this series to Game 7, where anything can happen in that situation. The Celtics didn’t play well in Game 4, but they were still in a position to win or at least force OT at the end of the game. This team seems to have the fortitude to dig deep for a must-win tonight, and they have one of the best coaches in the league that will be giving it his all as well. We see them playing a great game on both sides of the ball tonight to extend the series to Game 6. |

09-24-20 | Lakers v. Nuggets +6.5 | Top | 114-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Just like the Clippers series, the Nuggets are playing carefree and loose, while the Lakers have all the pressure on them. This series has looked pretty even to us for the most part, at least in the last two games. And the Nuggets could easily be up 2-1 in this series. The Lakers are always shaded by the oddsmakers and this Game 4 is a perfect example as by what we have seen on the court the Nugs should be catching around three points. Some good value on this line as we expect another close game. |

09-23-20 | Celtics -3.5 v. Heat | Top | 109-112 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Boston got right back into this series in Game 3 with a big win, and it’s easy to think they can keep the momentum going tonight. They had a rare three nights off because of the strange scheduling in the bubble, and as a result they got some much needed R and R. This definitely benefits the Celtics more since the Heat had them kind of on the ropes after that 2-0 lead but now Boston recaptured the momentum and they got some time to get Hayward some more rest, and he should be a major factor tonight in this likely win. Boston is the better defensive team, and with the extra rest we should see that unit flourish tonight. And their offense really woke up in Game 3 with 117 points, and we see that continuing tonight, especially with Hayward more fully in the mix. Miami is playing some very good basketball right now, but they have had an easy path and haven’t faced a lot of adversity. Boston is more battle tested, and ready for this crucial Game 4. And not to mention that Boston has been one of the best betting teams in the NBA for the last several years, and they normally exceed the expectations of the oddsmakers. We think that will be the case again tonight. |

09-23-20 | Angels v. Padres -1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #902 San Diego (-1.5 RL) over LA Angels (4:10 p.m. Wednesday, September 23) San Diego saw the chance to bolster their pitching staff before the trade deadline and they didn't hesitate to trade for Mike Clevinger. Clevinger has delivered so far going 2-1 winning both of his starts at Petco Park and I think he will come through today. Los Angeles doesn't have much room for error if they want to make the playoffs as they are chasing the Astros and Blue Jays for the final two playoff spots in the American League. Jaime Barria will be on the bump for the Angels. Barria has pitched well in his four starts, but I think the Padres bounce back after losing last night's game in what will be their last game in San Diego before the playoffs start.

09-22-20 | Lakers v. Nuggets +6.5 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
Just like in Game 2, we are going with the Nuggets here. Sometimes NBA hoops comes down to mental attitude. Every team in the league has ballers, but some have more talent than others. But the Nuggets are playing with house money and this team looks like they are just having fun. They are super confident and know that no lead or deficit is insurmountable. Just like the Clippers series, that makes them dangerous here and we expect another close game. Denver won’t be fazed, and we think they put forth their best effort tonight in this crucial Game 3. |

09-22-20 | Phillies -1.5 v. Nationals | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Take #951 Philadelphia (-1.5, +105) over Washington (3:05 p.m. Tuesday, September 22) There are six teams in the National League that are separated by a game and a half for the final four playoff spots and the Phillies are right in the mix. Philadelphia has to feel good that their ace Aaron Nola is scheduled to pitch against the Nationals in the first game of their double header today. Nola has faced Washington twice this season winning both starts allowing 2 earned runs on 7 hits while striking out 17 batters over 15 innings. Austin Voth is scheduled to square off against Nola and he has had a tough time getting people out this year. Voth has allowed 28 earned runs and 9 home runs over his last seven starts (27.2 innings) making it through 5 innings just once. Philadelphia has won six out of the seven matchups this season against Washington and I think they will add to their win total in this contest. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

3-Unit Play. Take #911 Chicago (NL) (-1.5 RL) over Pittsburgh (7:05 p.m. Monday, September 21) The Cubs and Pirates both come into tonight's contest on losing streaks, but the Cubs are in first place while the Pirates are in last place in the National League Central. Jon Lester will be on the mound for Chicago and he has been really good when pitching on the road this season. Lester is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA over 5 starts on the road and his opponents batting average is over 100 points lower than it is at home. JT Brubaker will be on the mound for Pittsburgh and he has had no luck when pitching at home as his ERA is over 7 across 20.1 innings. I like the Cubs to get the win and continue their march towards the playoffs. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

Going to take a shot on the underdog here. Denver has been nothing but resilient in this playoffs, and they are playing loose with nothing to lose. That is a dangerous team. And this is a talented one, too. We had the Lakers last time out, and we think the Nuggets will bounce back well tonight. We just don’t see another blowout here. Denver is settled in and will play better tonight, and we are getting a better spread than Game 1. |

09-20-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Rockies | 3-6 | Loss | -140 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #973 LA Dodgers (-1.5 RL) over Colorado (3:10 p.m. Sunday, September 20) The Dodgers have clinched a playoff spot and are closing in on winning the NL West for the 8th consecutive season. The Rockies are on the outside looking in right now for the playoffs, and will have to overcome multiple teams to make the playoffs which I think will be a little harder to do after today's game. Antonio Senzatela has surprisingly pitched well at Coors Field this year going 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA over 4 starts, but he has struggled in his two starts against the Dodgers allowing 8 runs on 14 hits (5 home runs) over 10.2 innings. Tony Gosolin has been a pleasant surprise for the Dodgers and has given them another starting pitching option. Gosolin has started 6 games for Los Angeles this season and has allowed more than 1 earned run just once. I like the Dodgers to leave Colorado with another win and finish off the sweep.

10 Unit Play. Take Green Bay Packers over Detroit Lions (1p.m., Sunday, September 20 FOX) Green Bay just continues to be undervalued again in 2020. This team won 13 games in 2019 and started off 2020 with a dominating road win at Minnesota. Now they return home to face the Lions, a team that has had very little success in Green Bay over the years. Detroit is coming off an unthinkable loss to Chicago last week in a game they led by 17 points in the fourth quarter. Green Bay has won 7 straight games against divisional teams. The favorite is 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings between Detroit and Green Bay. The Lions are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. Green Bay is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played during the month of September. |

4 Unit Play. Take #277 New York Giants over Chicago Bears (1p.m., Sunday, September 20 FOX) The Giants were in position on Monday to take the game with the Steelers down to the wire, but a turnover inside the red zone did them in. Now they face a team in Chicago that was extremely lucky to get a victory last week at Detroit. The Bears should not be favored by this many points against any team in the league. RB Barkley will have an easier time running the football in this game, and QB Jones will only get better as the season progresses. The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 games played in Chicago against the Bears. Chicago is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. |

The Jets are terrible as well, but I just believe they will bounce back at home after getting pounded last week at Buffalo. New York went 3-1 against the NFC in 2019 (straight-up and ATS). The underdog has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings. San Francisco is 7-19 ATS (1 push) in their last 27 games as a favorite. The Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. |

Taking another shot at the Celtics here in Game 3. This is the most crucial game of a 7-Game series, and Boston is in a must-win situation here. They had a big blowup after blowing a big lead and losing Game 2, and we think that might be healthy for this team as they needed a wakeup call. If they lose tonight this series is essentially over for them, but if they win then they are right back in it. We think they bring their A Game tonight and think there’s a great chance they can win this one by 7+. |

10 Unit Play. #108 NC State Wolfpack over Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8p.m., Saturday, September 19 ACCN) Wake Forest has the advantage of having played last week but the home team has dominated this series. The home team has won 19 of the last 23 meetings and is also 18-5 ATS. NC State is coming off a rare down year in 2019 winning just 4 games but the track record of Dave Doeren suggests they will bounce back and have a winning record this year. Wake Forest has allowed 36.3 points per game in their last 6 games. Wake Forest is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |

4 Unit Play. Take #124 WKU Hilltoppers over Liberty Flames (12p.m., Saturday, September 19 ESPNU) Western Kentucky did not play that well on offense last week but should have a much easier time moving the football against Liberty this week. The Toppers defense played decent against Louisville but got beat deep on a couple of fluke plays. They did block two punts in that game and I just believe they are better in all three phases than is Liberty. The Flames lack experience on both sides of the football, and this is their first game of the season. WKU is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Liberty is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 nonconference games. |

We are just not believers in the Nuggets. Kudos for beating the Clippers, but LA beat themselves more than Denver won the series. The Lakers have had extra time off here, and it will benefit them big time. The Lakers should send a card to the Clippers since they got a cakewalk to the Finals. LA will be locked in tonight and we expect a very strong defensive effort from the favorite while the Nuggets didn’t really get a chance to catch their breath and we have a great feeling that this will be a double-digit win by Los Angeles. We think this will be a low scoring game. |

4-Unit Play. Take #965 NY Yankees (-1.5, -130) over Boston (7:30 p.m. Friday, September 18) The Yankees have beaten the Red Sox ten straight times including all seven matchups this season and I think that will continue tonight. New York has won eight straight games and hit a major league record 6 home runs in three consecutive contests. They will be facing Martin Perez who has been awful at Fenway Park this season going 0-3 with a 5.48 ERA in four starts and his ERA against the Yankees in 6 career starts is 9.85. Jordan Montgomery has allowed 2 earned runs or less in four out of his last five starts and he is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA over 9.1 innings against Boston this season. Gotta stay with the hot team that has so many guys that can beat you. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

4 Unit Play. #102 Cleveland Browns over Cincinnati Bengals (8:20p.m., Thursday, September 17 NFLN) The Browns need this game after laying an egg in the first game against Baltimore. The Bengals outperformed some expectations in Week 1, but I just do not believe they are a good enough team to be competitive on the road. The line has dropped under a touchdown, and now I believe the value lies with the Browns. The favorite is 8-2 ATS in the last two meetings in this Battle of Ohio. Cincinnati is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Cleveland is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games played on Thursday. |

We are going the same way we went in Game 1 even though we missed the mark. We love Boston for this series, and we don’t see them going down 0-2. When Boston has lost recently it has been some last-minute stuff or OT, and that was the case in Game 1 once again. We expect the Celtics to really lock down on defense here in Game 2 to give themselves the best chance to wind up on top at the final buzzer. These are two of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and that should be on full force tonight. It’s telling that the bookies didn’t really adjust the numbers here for Game 2, and that tells us we are on the right track here. |

09-17-20 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -1.5 | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #908 NY Yankees (-1.5, -120) over Toronto (7:05 p.m. Thursday, September 17) The Yankees had a brutal stretch a couple weeks ago when a bunch of guys were injured and they couldn't get a win. Its no coincidence that guys have returned from the injured list and they are playing great baseball riding a 7 game winning streak. New York has hit 13 home runs in the past two games against Toronto and I think they will bop some more tonight. Chase Anderson is on the mound for the Blue Jays and in his last two starts he has allowed 4 home runs and 10 earned runs over 6.2 innings. Masahiro Tanaka will take the mound for the Yankees tonight and he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in all but one of his eight starts this season. Tanaka's ERA against the Blue Jays is 2.87 across 21 starts and I think he can deliver a similar performance tonight. I think the Yankees complete the sweep tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-15-20 | Nuggets +7.5 v. Clippers | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 33 h 35 m | Show | |
Maybe there is something to this Clippers curse after all. Denver has all the momentum in this series, and they have been playing with nothing to lose. They have been playing well, but the Clippers are in this situation more of their own doing with mental lapses and multiple cold shooting stretches. The Clippers have a ton of pressure here, and they haven’t shown they handle it well. We think this will be a close game and think the Clippers could very well lose outright. |
|||||||
09-15-20 | Heat v. Celtics -1.5 | 117-114 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 60 m | Show | |
These are two Top 10 defenses. We think that this series will be another defensive battle much like Boston/Toronto, Where six of seven games went under the posted total. Miami has had a long time off. They will probably be rusty on offense and have a lot of energy on defense. Boston has really dialed in the defense lately, and they have had an extra day off from the normal schedule, and that should bring some energy and tenacity on the defensive end. These teams should be feeling each other out here in Game 1 as well, and we just don’t see an offensive explosion here. The bookies seem afraid to post a total too much under 210 these days, but we had this one handicapped at 204, so we think there is some nice value here. And we like the Celtics for Game 1. Miami making the ECF as a No. 5 is a great story. But they beat a pretty weak Indiana team and then a Bucks team that didn’t have their head in the game. Boston is the better team and much more battle tested at this point. |

09-14-20 | Steelers v. Giants +6 | 26-16 | Loss | -108 | 125 h 12 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #479 Pittsburgh Steelers over New York Giants (7:15p.m., Monday, September 14 ESPN) This is a popular pick with all the newsletters and handicappers, and we will side with them early in the season. Pittsburgh needs to make the playoffs this year after missing out the last two years. Pressure is on Tomlin and Roethlisberger and expect them to respond in a positive way to challenge Baltimore in the AFC North. QB Jones played well at times last season, but now does not have an offensive coach. The Giants have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 11 games as a home underdog. New York is also 2-7 ATS in their last 9 Week 1 games. Pittsburgh is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday Night Football. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Clippers -8.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 98-111 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 29 m | Show |
The Clippers blew a big lead in Game 5 and ended up losing the game. They took their foot off the gas too early, and it was tough for this team to get back into the zone again. But you have to remember that the main core of this team hasn’t played together all that much this season and they are still learning. We think that lesson from the Game 5 loss will help them put together a more complete game here on Sunday. They have done very well during the restart after a loss and we think they will bounce back successfully as they have a bunch of times before in this spot. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Dolphins +6.5 v. Patriots | 11-21 | Loss | -100 | 95 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #453 Miami Dolphins over New England Patriots (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 CBS) The Patriots are still the Patriots, but I just feel this is too many points to be giving against a divisional foe. Miami won at Foxboro in their last game of the 2019 season and should only be better this year under year 2 of Brian Flores. Miami is 6-1 ATS in their season opener over the last 7 years. The Patriots are 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. Miami is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against AFC teams. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Seahawks v. Falcons +2.5 | 38-25 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #462 Atlanta Falcons over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 FOX) Just do not believe the Seahawks have all that great of talent besides Russell Wilson. Seattle has failed to cover 5 straight season openers. Expect a lot of offense in this game but I believe the Falcons need this one more in order to get off to a good start in 2020. Atlanta won 6 of their last 8 games in 2019 to save the job on Dan Quinn. Matt Ryan will be able to hold his own in this game especially with the better offensive weapons that they have. Seattle is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Packers +3 v. Vikings | 43-34 | Win | 100 | 95 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #469 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, September 13 FOX) Many people are expecting Green Bay to fall back this year after going 13-3 in 2019. But we will gladly grab the points in this game, as the Packers have covered the spread in 4 straight games against the Vikings. QB Cousins is no match for QB Rodgers, as he is just 7-31 in his last 38 games against teams that finish the season with a winning record. Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Week 1 games. |

09-12-20 | Astros v. Dodgers -1.5 | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. Take #976 Los Angeles (NL) (-1.5, +125) over Houston (8:15 p.m. Saturday, September 12) Things could be a little tense tonight with these two clubs as they are meeting for the first time since the benches cleared back on July 29th. The Dodgers are still bitter about the 2017 World Series the Astros won and I think they are going to win this game. Julio Urias will be on the mound and he has never faced Houston which I think will benefit him. The Astros have been in a bit of a funk lately as they have lost eight of their last nine games as different guys have made stints on the injured list. Framber Valdez hasn't been at his best recently allowing 15 runs over his last three starts and it won't be any easier against the Dodgers lineup. I like LA in this one. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

09-12-20 | Western Kentucky v. Louisville -11.5 | Top | 21-35 | Win | 100 | 78 h 4 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #406 Louisville Cardinals over WKU Hilltoppers (8p.m., Saturday, September 12 ACCN) Just liked how Louisville played in year one under Scott Satterfield winning 8 games including the Music City Bowl last time they took the field. They return a ton of playmakers on both sides of the football including Micale Cunningham, who threw for 22 touchdowns last year. They teams met last year at a neutral site and they game was over early with Louisville up 24 points at halftime before a minor comeback by WKU to only lose by 17 points. Louisville is expected to have some fans in the stands and that will only make this much more of a homefield edge. The Cardinals are 19-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games against Conference USA teams. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Rockets v. Lakers -6.5 | Top | 96-119 | Win | 102 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
We probably make plays on the Lakers less than any team in the NBA. They are a very public team, and their odds and normally shaded by the oddsmakers. But they do have value late in this series. The Rockets are a popular team also, and we expected this line to be around 8.5 with the way this series has gone the last couple games. The Lakers were shook out of their funk with the Game 1 loss, and they have rebounded nicely. They won and covered Games 2, 3 and 4, and the oddsmakers haven’t made a huge adjustment to this number. Houston is quite the dysfunctional team this season. They have looked disjointed since Game 1 and have some off court drama that is a distraction as well. We think the Lakers are in their heads big time, and the body language tells us this team doesn’t have much of a chance. We don’t think the Lakers take their foot off the gas tonight and expect them to roll in this likely final game of the series. |

09-12-20 | Syracuse +22.5 v. North Carolina | 6-31 | Loss | -110 | 70 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #395 Syracuse Orange over North Carolina Tar Heels (12p.m., Saturday, September 12 ACCN) Just feel this spread has risen too high considering this is a conference game with no fans in attendance. The Orange played better down the stretch winning two of their last three games, both times they were underdogs. They return some talent on offense and should be able to score some points to keep up with North Carolina. The Tar Heels are loaded on offense as well, but Mack Brown teams have never been known to be offensive juggernauts. Expect the Orange to stay within this number, which has now gone over three touchdowns. Syracuse is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games played during the month of September. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Celtics -2.5 v. Raptors | Top | 92-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
This is an easy call for Game 7 tonight. Boston is the better team, with the better coach. They will find a way to get the job done tonight. When Toronto has won in this series, they have needed some heroics. But when Boston has won, it has been by domination for the most part. They have had some mental lapses and should have put this one away awhile ago, but the cream will rise to the top tonight. Boston is on a 5-2 ATS run in this series, and they have been one of the most trustworthy ATS teams in the NBA for several years now. We think that there is a great chance they win this one by double digits tonight. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Dream +1.5 v. Sun | 82-75 | Win | 100 | 2 h 56 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take Atlanta +1 over Connecticut (Friday at 7pm). We had Conn when they blew the game against PHX in their latest loss. They played well but just don't have that closing mentality. Atlanta is not the greatest team but they've been competitive and with Conn all but locked into a playoff spot, we don't see them giving max effort against an ATL team that is all but out of it. This is a let down for Conn and with ATL off a solid win vs Chicago, we like them to keep the momentum rolling and stay within this number. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Lakers -5 v. Rockets | Top | 110-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
We thought Houston would make some noise in this series, but after that Game 1 win, the Lakers have been dominating. We see the same tonight, and this is more than a fair spread, something you rarely get when betting on the Lakers. Houston just looks disjointed in the Bubble and they can’t often get a team effort on offense as someone gets cold at the wrong time seemingly too much. We think the Lakers will play lock down defense in this one, and we think there’s a great possibility that this is a blowout, which would bode well for the under. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Paris St Germain v. RC Lens +0.75 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. Competition: French Ligue 1. Take RC Lens +0.5 (+115) over PSG (Thursday at 3pm). Includes 90 Minutes + Injury Time. For this selection to win. RC Lens must win or draw. As per your selection on RC Lens to grab at least a point in this matchup vs PSG, why not take a shot with them as they come off a couple of club-friendly wins after losing the Ligue 1 opener to Nice 2-1, a game in which they were in until the very end. They now get their Super Bowl of sorts early in the season, taking on a PSG side that's going to be without several key regulars as they have to miss the match due to COVID. PSG are still stinging from the loss to Bayern in the Champions League finals and with a second string team getting field, we'll gladly take Lens at plus money to keep this game close. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Clippers -8 v. Nuggets | 96-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers haven’t played well the last couple games. We expect them to get it together tonight. They see the Lakers doing well now in their series against the Rockets, so there is some emphasis now to get this series over with pronto. In the fourth quarter the Clippers turned the switch last time out and we think that momentum will carry over to tonight, where we are getting the best line in the series with the Clippers. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Mercury v. Sun +2.5 | 100-95 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play. Take Connecticut over Phoenix (Wednesday at 7pm) As per your selection on Connecticut to get the job done, they just beat PHX on Monday by 15 points and we expect more of the same here tonight. Phoenix really struggles on the defensive end of the floor and we don't see a way how they will be able to stop this Sun's team who is playing some good basketball right now having won two straight while scoring 85 and 96 points. Phoenix is one of the most inconsistent teams in the Wubble as they have the talent but simply don't ever put forth a consistent effort. Griner is still? for PHX and we believe Conn will be able to dictate their play in this game once again. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Raptors v. Celtics -3.5 | 125-122 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Every game in this series has gone under by 10 points or more, yet the bookies have not made that big of an adjustment on the total. Just don’t see this game being a breakout game on offense. Probably because of no travel and extra rest, these playoffs have trended to the under, and the bookies have done a lousy job on adjustments. Not matter, since we have been able to take advantage. We think the Celtics will play lockdown defense here and close this series out tonight and get ready for the Heat in an unlikely ECF matchup. |
|||||||
09-08-20 | Lakers v. Rockets +5 | Top | 112-102 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
The Lakers played great in Game 2, but this team just hasn’t shown the ability to consistently play like this in the Bubble. We think this will be a close game tonight, and the points look real attractive. We have stated it before, but we think the Lakers are a tad overrated this season and the bookies always shade the lines for their games. We think around 3 would be a more suitable line, so the extra couple points gives some nice value to what looks like a close game to us. |
|||||||
09-07-20 | BYU -1.5 v. Navy | Top | 55-3 | Win | 100 | 105 h 16 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #243 BY Cougars over Navy Midshipman (8p.m., Monday, September 7 ESPN) The line movement tells me a lot for this game. Navy opened as a small home favorite of 2.5 but now BYU is favored at release time for this play. I always like extra time to prepare for the triple option and that is what BYU has for this game. QB Zach Wilson is back behind center for the Cougars and played better down the stretch last year winning 5 of his last 6 regular season games. Most year’s Navy has to rebuild and that is again the case this year losing their quarterback from last season. They were not as good as their record indicated last year and are just a middle of the pack team in the AAC this year. Navy is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games against Independent teams. |
|||||||
09-07-20 | Celtics -1.5 v. Raptors | 111-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Toronto played a real strong game on Saturday, but we are still very confident in Boston for this series and we think the cream will rise to the top tonight. Boston has been mostly excellent for the most part of three games in this four-game series, and they should have won Game 3 also if not for that Toronto buzzer beater. This is the most crucial game in the series thus far and we see the Boston defense really stepping up here to shit the Raptors down. |
|||||||
09-07-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. Take #902 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (1:10 p.m. Monday, September 7) The Braves are tied for the second best home record in baseball right now at 14-6 and I think they are going to add to that in this one. Ian Anderson has looked sharp winning in his two starts against the Yankees and Red Sox allowing 2 and 1 runs respectively while averaging over a strikeout an inning. Jose Urena will be making his season debut as he returns from Covid. Urena did not fair well against Atlanta last season losing both starts while allowing 4 home runs and 11 earned runs across 9 innings. I like the Braves to take game 1 of this series in Atlanta. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
09-06-20 | Bucks v. Heat -1 | Top | 118-115 | Loss | -106 | 27 h 8 m | Show |
The oddsmakers finally adjusted this number, but it doesn’t seem like it was enough. The Bucks are cooked here in this series, and we think they will go out with a whimper today. Miami is playing some of their best basketball of the season right now in the Bubble. Giannis Antetokounmpo looks like he is playing through an injury, and the rest of the team has failed to step up. Milwaukee blew it in the playoff last season too, and it looks like we are going to see a repeat this year. It seems the Bucks have mentally left the building before this series. |
|||||||
09-05-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers -9 | Top | 110-101 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
After a grind-it out Game 7 win against Utah on Tuesday, it had to be demoralizing for the Nuggets to get spanked like they did in Game 1 Thursday against the Clippers. It showed us that Denver doesn’t have much of a chance in this series. And Denver probably knows that, too. Not sure what adjustments they can make here when the Clippers barely broke a sweat in Game 1 and the starters were able to hit the bench early. That is now three straight meetings the Clippers won by double digits. This is what LA has been working towards all season. They are completely healthy now and playing great team basketball. The bench is devastating when the starters need a break. They are much more fresh and rested than Denver. The Clippers have always had trouble in this round but this is by far the best squad in team history and we think they really want to make quick work of this series. With max effort, which we think they will provide, we think a double-digit win is a certainty. |
|||||||
09-05-20 | Raptors v. Celtics -1 | 100-93 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Toronto needed a miracle buzzerbeater in Game 3 just to have a chance in this series now. Toronto failed to cover Game 3 and they are now 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings, all which took place in the Bubble. Two of those were double-digit wins. Toronto has a better regular-season record, but Boston is the better team in our opinion and they are playing some of their best basketball of the season at the right time. We think they will be determined here in Game 4 and will play one of their best games of the series after blowing a chance to put Toronto at the edge of elimination at the end of Game 3. Boston has been one of the best ATS teams for years, and that is a sign of great coaching. We expect them to shine on Saturday. |

09-05-20 | Middle Tennessee State v. Army -3 | 0-42 | Win | 100 | 51 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #242 Army Black Knights over Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (1:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 CBSSN) This game was added in August and thus the Blue Raiders do not have as much time as normal to prepare for the triple option. The Black Nights took a step back in 2019 but look to turn things around in 2020 and this is important game for them in hopes of having a winning season. MTSU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played during the month of September. Army is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played during the month of September. 82% of the money is coming in on Army and that is usually a key indicator early in the season. |

09-04-20 | Rockets +6.5 v. Lakers | Top | 112-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Really like Houston to make some noise in this series. They had a real tough series against the Thunder, but this is a veteran team and a hungry one. Plus, the Lakers are a tad bit overrated. And they haven’t often played to their potential in the Bubble. Not to mention they are often overrated by the oddsmakers. Houston has Westbrook back now, and he is getting back into the mix and should have a good series. And Harden won’t stay cold long. Houston is s veteran team, so we don’t see them having a hard time getting up for this matchup even though they just played in a real tough Game 7. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers -9 | 97-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Denver gutted out a Game 7 win vs. Utah and they were literally inches from being sent home. They were already tired coming into this game (they managed only 80 points in Game 7) and they really laid it all on the line in that one. The Clippers dominated in their last two games in Dallas and they should have their full roster tonight as Pat Bev is expected to return. This team is rested and hungry. The Clips have won the last two meetings by double digits, and in this unique Bubble restart the Nugs got only one night off after their grueling Game 7 and we think they are in real trouble tonight in what should be a blowout by the favorite. |

09-03-20 | South Alabama +15 v. Southern Miss | 32-21 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #235 South Alabama Jaguars +13 over Southern Miss Golden Eagles (9p.m., Thursday, September 3 CBSSN) This line opened at 16 but has come down under two touchdown and we will side with the line movement. The Golden Eagles did not perform well down the stretch losing three straight games by double digits to close out the 2019 season. USA is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. Southern Miss is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Thursday. |
