06-09-23 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Heat | Top | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Some people might follow the Zig Zag Theory here in Game 4 assuming Miami will strike back and even up the series. They have been resilient for sure. But we don’t think so. Denver is the best opponent they have faced in the postseason and the Nuggets are a complete team. Denver got a wake-up call in Game 2, and they responded like we expected in Game 3 in Miami with a dominant performance. This team is hungry, and the championship is right there for them. We don’t think they are going to squander the opportunity, and we think they will treat this game as a must win and bring their A Game tonight. With that Game 3 win, Denver has now covered five straight in Miami, and they are 27-10 ATS long term against the Heat, which is a long term string of domination since these teams don’t play often. |

06-09-23 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg -5 | 31-42 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 674 Winnipeg Blue Bombers -5 vs Hamilton (Friday, June 9th 8:30 CFL+) While the Tiger-Cats are excited about their new QB Bo Levi Mitchell, Winnipeg knows exactly what they are working with. I think it'll take Hamilton a few games before they're completely comfortable. Winnipeg wins rather easily. |
|||||||
06-09-23 | Mercury +5 v. Wings | 77-90 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #661 Phoenix +5 over Dallas (8p.m., Friday, June 9 ION) Always hard to be the same team twice in a row during the regular basketball season. We were very lucky to win and cover and Wednesday and I see this game going down to the wire as well. Arike Ogunbowale is shooting just 35% this season and that will not be a long term successful plan considering the amount of shots she takes. |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Nuggets -2.5 v. Heat | Top | 109-94 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
This Heat run in the postseason has been legendary, but we have to go with our handicapping here and that states the Nuggets are the stronger team. Miami used a big fourth quarter for their Game 2 win, and they shot the lights out in that game with almost 50 percent shooting from the floor and three-point land. We think Denver will clamp down more on defense and we see a slower paced game here and we think Denver will come out on top with a comfortable win. |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Mercury v. Wings -4.5 | 79-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #654 Dallas -4.5 over Phoenix (8p.m., Wednesday, June 7 local) Just do not feel Phoenix is any good this season. This line has gone up this morning and feel Dallas is ready for home cooking tonight. The Mercury has been outcoached in most of their games the last two years and Diana Taurasi does not seem to have much left in the tank. Arkike Ogunbowale shot terribly on Sunday, and I do not see that happening for a second straight game. Phoenix is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games. Dallas is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game. This is a get right game for Dallas on Wednesday! |
|||||||
06-07-23 | Royals +1.5 v. Marlins | 1-6 | Loss | -130 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #923 Kansas City (+1.5 RL) -130 over Miami (6:10p.m., Wednesday, June 7 MLB.tv) The Royals have given up a ton of runs in the first two games of this series, but their starting pitcher tonight is better than his win/loss record would indicate. Jordan Lyles is allowing less that one hit per inning and has a lower WHIP than Edward Carbrera. The Marlins hurler has walked 36 batters in just 58 innings of work. Look for a high scoring game that goes down to the wire and we will collect with whoever wins this game by one run. |
|||||||
06-05-23 | A's v. Pirates -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #912 Pittsburgh (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:05p.m., Tuesday, June 5 MLB.tv) The Pirates are coming off a sweep of the Cardinals over the weekend and will enter this game having won 5 straight games. Oakland lost all three games over the weekend to Miami (0-3 in the run line as well). Oakland has lost 4 straight run line games entering Monday. |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Heat v. Nuggets -8.5 | Top | 111-108 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Love Denver in this spot in Game 2. Denver is almost unbeatable at home, and teams that win in this playoffs are covering at a very high rate. Miami looked great and this run has been incredible, but Denver is definitely their strongest opponent yet in this postseason, and the Heat have been on the wrong end of plenty of blowouts this postseason. They have lost six games in the playoffs by nine or more points. We think Miami will put up a fight in the first half but that the Nuggets will start to pull away in the second and should win this one comfortably by the final buzzer. |
|||||||
06-04-23 | A's v. Marlins -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #972 Miami (-1.5 RL) -110 over Oakland (1:40p.m., Sunday, June 6 MLB.tv) Oakland is playing and Miami has their Cy Young award winner on the mound. The Athletics have scored 1 garbage run in the first two games of this series. |
|||||||
06-04-23 | Wings +7.5 v. Sun | 74-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #638 Dallas +7 over Connecticut (1p.m., Sunday, June 4 NBA TV) Connecticut is not as strong as their 5-1 record would indicate. They have struggled to put away some of the bottom feeder teams in the league and I do not see them beating the Wings by double-digits. Dallas took Washington to the brink last time out and they are festy and can do the same on Sunday. |
|||||||
06-03-23 | A's v. Marlins -1.5 | 1-12 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #928 Miami (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (4:10p.m., Saturday, June 3 MLB.tv) Oakland got shutout last night and expect the Marlins to fatten up their batting average with this three games series. The Athletics are 12-41 in their last 53 road games. Miami is 5-0 in their last 5 games against AL West teams. |
|||||||
06-02-23 | Phillies v. Nationals +1.5 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #956 Washington (+1.5 RL) over Philadelphia (7:05p.m., Friday, June 2 MLB.tv) Zach Wheeler was outstanding last time out against the Braves but he has not been consistent enough and I doubt he will be able to follow that up against another divisional opponent. Philadelphia is just 11-21 on the road this season and we will grab the run line looking for a very close game. |
|||||||
05-31-23 | Braves -1.5 v. A's | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #973 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (3:37p.m., Wednesday, May 31 MLB.tv) Hopefully a day game will get the Braves offense out of this funk. They embarrassed themselves in the first two games of the series scoring just 3 totals runs against the worst team in baseball. Oakland will come back down to reality on Thursday, as the Braves win the finale in blowout fashion. |
|||||||
05-30-23 | Braves -1.5 v. A's | 1-2 | Loss | -132 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #929 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) -145 over Oakland (9:40p.m., Tuesday, May 30 MLB.tv) The Braves offense failed to knock out Oakland early last night and thus they suffered an embarrassing defeat to the worst team in the league. Look for the Braves to bounce back on Tuesday and win this game comfortably. |
|||||||
05-30-23 | Lynx v. Wings -5.5 | 89-94 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #620 Dallas over Minnesota (8p.m., Tuesday, May 30 ESPN3) Dallas has been on the road for a week and look for them to enjoy some home cooking tonight at College Park Center in Arlington, TX. Minnesota has yet to win a game this season and they do not have much talent to make the playoffs in 2023. The Lynx are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games. The Wings are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
05-29-23 | Heat +7.5 v. Celtics | Top | 103-84 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
All the pressure is on Boston here. They have been one of the favorites in the East all season, while not much was expected out of Miami, especially after they landed in the Play In Tournament. We have history on our side here as no team has ever come back from down 3-0 to win a series. But we will go with the spread in the case of a close game. We expect a low scoring game here, and that makes the points with the underdog all the more valuable. Also love that this one is on the other side of the key NBA betting number of 7 (when the team down stops fouling at the end of the game). |
|||||||
05-29-23 | Braves -1.5 v. A's | 2-7 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #971 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) -145 over Oakland (8:07p.m., Monday, May 29 MLB.tv) Oakland did not cover any of the run lines over the weekend getting swept by Houston for the second time in 10 days. Now they face another strong team in Atlanta, and I do not see thing getting any better for them on Memorial Day. The Braves are a much better team on the road this season and today should be no different. Atlanta is 17-7 on the road this season and Oakland is 5-23 at home, enough said! |
|||||||
05-28-23 | Wings v. Sky -1.5 | 88-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #612 Chicago over Dallas (6p.m., Sunday, May 28 NBA TV) The Sky are well coached and playing their second straight game at home. Expect them to take care of business against a Dallas team that played Friday night in Seattle. Both teams have some injury issues to open the season but the Sky does not want to lose two straight games at home. Dallas is 0-4 in their last 4 games following a victory in their previous game. Struggling to beat Seattle is not a good sign for Dallas going into this game. |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Mets v. Rockies +1.5 | 7-10 | Win | 115 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #958 Colorado (+1.5 RL) over New York (9:10p.m., Saturday, May 27 MLB.tv) The Mets are not a strong offensive team and thus they struggle to score runs ranking in the middle of the pack. Thus they will have trouble covering a run line tonight at Coors Field. |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Heat | Top | 104-103 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
Love the Celtics to win here and we think this line is more than fair after the beating Boston put on Miami in Games 4 and 5. They have totally taken back momentum in this series. We don’t know if they will go on to win this thing, but we do think they will force Game 7 tonight. Boston seems focused and they haven’t once panicked even down 3-0 in this series. They have the swagger and experience to get the job done here, and they have a major edge in talent on the floor. They have stepped it up on the defensive end the last two games, and we see more of the same here in Game 6. |
|||||||
05-27-23 | Padres v. Yankees -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #968 New York (-1.5 RL) over San Diego (1:10p.m., Saturday, May 27 MLBN) The Padres have not lived up to expectations this season and now they must face Luis Severino. Look for him to throw 5 or 6 strong innings and turn it over to the bullpen with the lead. San Diego is 0-7 in their last 7 game twos of a series. |
|||||||
05-25-23 | Lynx v. Mercury -3 | 81-90 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #654 Phoenix Mercury over Minnesota Lynx (10p.m., Thursday, May 25 Prime) The league needs Phoenix to be competitive this season, as they want to promote Brittney Griner and her story coming back. But they have a coach that is in over her head and Diane Taurasi is way past her prime. That being said, they are going to win this game against a depleted Minnesota team that is also winless on the season. The Lynx have lost two home games and I do not have much hope for them being successful in 2023. They have a bunch of new pieces, and it will take time for them to come together and tonight will not be that night it all works out. Minnesota is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on one day’s rest. |
|||||||
05-25-23 | A's v. Mariners -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #970 Seattle (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (9:40p.m., Thursday, May 25 MLB.tv) No bet against Oakland is a bad bet this season. They are 10-41 this season and for some reason have to play a night game on getaway day. Oakland is 16-35 in their last 51 games against Seattle. That includes going 1-7 in their last 8 games at T-Mobile Park. |
|||||||
05-25-23 | Heat v. Celtics -8 | Top | 97-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Boston has tons of talent and a lot of playoff experience, and we don’t think they are out of this series yet. We don’t even think they are panicked. They sure didn’t look like it in Game 4. They put their heads down and confidently got the job done. That was a 17-point road win with their season on the line. All they need to do is take this one game at a time and a win here would put them right back in this series. And the oddsmakers seem to agree with this line. But we aren’t worried about the points here. Boston has covered in every game they have won this postseason, and in 12 straight stretching back to the regular season. Even though we took Miami in the first three games of this series, we love to back the Celtics this season because of their resilience and their competitive fire. They don’t want to just win, they want to dominate. We think they captured the momentum in this series and we expect another big win as they have seemed to figure things out a bit and made the necessary adjustments. |
|||||||
05-23-23 | Celtics +2 v. Heat | Top | 116-99 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
The Celtics have a lot of postseason experience and we don’t think they will be too panicked here. It is rare to come back from this deficit, but the Celtics can take it one game at a time and get back in this series. A win here, and they are back at home and favored for Game 5. Miami has been the better team in the series but the Celtics have the players are experience to avoid the sweep tonight. Also, might the refs give Boston some extra calls? We are confident the NBA doesn’t want two sweeps in the conference finals. |
|||||||
05-22-23 | Nuggets v. Lakers -3 | Top | 113-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
It is very rare to get a sweep in the NBA Playoffs, especially the conference finals, and we just don’t see it happening today. The Nuggets have the series firmly in hand, and they will likely let up a little here and won’t have that killer instinct on the road, while the Lakers will be clinging to any last hope to save their season and extend this series another game. Even though Game 3 was pretty one-sided, the Lakers hung tough in Games 1 and 2, and we think they go all out to get the win here tonight. |
|||||||
05-21-23 | Celtics v. Heat +3.5 | 102-128 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Miami has simply been the better team in this series and they have the chance to deal the knockout blow tonight as it would be extremely difficult for the Celtics to come back down 3-0, with two more games scheduled in Miami. This line is a very public one as we had this game handicapped at PK, so there is great value here as we think this one goes down to the final minute and should be a very close game. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | Nuggets +6 v. Lakers | Top | 119-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
The Nuggets match up very well with the Lakers and despite this being a must win for LA, we think Denver has a great chance to put LA on the brink of elimination here then they could let down in Game 4. But we think this team is very hungry for a championship and Denver will treat this like a must win. Denver has shown they can hang with the Lakers offensively, but they are the stronger defensive team, and that will be the difference here in Game 3, at least where the spread is concerned as we just don’t see LA running away with this one. |
|||||||
05-20-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -133 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #914 Houston (-1.5 RL) -140 over Oakland (4:10p.m., Saturday, May 20 MLB.tv) We collected with Houston last night on the run line and we will come right back with them again on Saturday. Houston is fattening up their record against bad teams and Oakland certainly fits into that bill. The Athletics are 1-7 in their last 8 games in Houston. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | Heat +9 v. Celtics | Top | 111-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
We are a big believer that when Boston wins they normally cover. But we think this may be a rare situation where they win but don’t cover the spread. This is simply too many points. We had this line handicapped at 6, so this number, on the other side of the key NBA number of 7 (when a team with the lead stops getting fouled at the end of the game), offers very nice value. Miami is playing their best basketball of the season right now and they have proven to be a legit championship contender. We are sure they are aware that Boston came back from an early hole to beat Philly, so we think they will go all out to try and win this one and put Boston in the worst possible spot for the series. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #962 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (8:10p.m., Friday, May 19 MLB.tv) Houston is coming off a sweep of Chicago and look for them to continue to fatten up their record against the worst team in the league. Anytime you get the defending champions at this price against Oakland you should just play them blind until proven otherwise. Houston has beaten Oakland 6 of their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
05-19-23 | Liberty v. Mystics +3.5 | 64-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #632 Washington over New York (7p.m., Friday, May 19 NBA.tv) Everyone is going to be motivated to play Las Vegas or New York this season. They get all the talk and everyone is expecting them to meet in the finals. Washington is clearly the third best team in the league and they return four starters from last season. Look for them to take this one down to the wire and possible pull off the straight-up victory. |
|||||||
05-16-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -6 | Top | 126-132 | Push | 0 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Denver is almost unbeatable at home, and we expect another big performance tonight. The Lakers have surprised in the playoffs and they have looked good, but they will be facing, in our opinion, the best team in the west here, and they are taking a big step up in competition for the conference finals. The Lakers haven’t been good on the road this season. And they have had trouble in Denver in the last couple seasons, where they are 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven meetings here. Denver is 21-9 ATS at home against above .500 teams, and they will be ready for another dominant performance tonight. |
|||||||
05-14-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 88-112 | Win | 100 | 4 h 36 m | Show |
Philly had Boston right where they wanted them for Game 6 with a chance to close it out at home, but they couldn’t get the job done and now Boston is a decent favorite at home to win the series and they have all the momentum. Boston is one of the teams we love to trust as they usually win by more than the spread when they do win. And they are excellent as a favorite. Boston has tons of postseason experience and the guys know what they need to do here. We think they bring their A Game today. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Phillies v. Rockies +1.5 | 7-4 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #960 Colorado (+1.5 RL) over Philadelphia (8:10p.m., Saturday, May 13 MLB.tv) Colorado has beaten Philadelphia in 11 of their last 15 home games. The Rockies have been playing better of late going 8-3 in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Rangers v. A's +1.5 | 5-0 | Loss | -130 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #966 Oakland (+1.5 RL) over Texas (4:07p.m., Saturday, May 13 MLB.tv) Oakland scored us a nice underdog winner on Friday, coming from behind numerous times to give us a walk off winner. Look for that to carryover into Saturday’s afternoon game. Texas can score runs but they give up a bunch of well. |
|||||||
05-13-23 | Rays v. Yankees +1.5 | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #962 New York (+1.5 RL) over Tampa Bay (1:05p.m., Saturday, May 13 MLB.tv) The Yankees rallied in the bottom of the eight-inning last night and look for them to take 2 of the first 3 games in this 4 game set at the stadium. |
|||||||
05-12-23 | Warriors v. Lakers -2.5 | Top | 101-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
We rarely ever bet on the Lakers, so you know we like them if that is the way we are moving on this game. Golden State has stunk on the road all season. They had some road heroics in the first round at Sacramento, but this is a lot better team they are facing tonight. The Lakers made the right moves at the deadline and they are gelling at the right time. The Warriors had a long season last year with their extended playoff run and we think this team will finally run out of gas here in Game 6. Golden State has been following the Zig Zag theory for NBA playoff betting as they are 1-5 ATS after a win. They haven’t covered in the last five games in Los Angeles. |
|||||||
05-11-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. 76ers | 95-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
We think Boston is still in this series. In fact, we think they will win it. They are not panicking and they have players that have seen and done it all. The Sixers got the upper hand the last two games, but we think Boston will lock down on defense tonight and pull away in the fourth quarter in a low-scoring game. |
|||||||
05-10-23 | A's v. Yankees -1.5 | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #914 New York (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (12:35p.m., Wednesday, May 10 MLB.tv) The Athletics have played okay in this series and still been pounded both games. Look for the Yankees to have a big innings and some point today and win this game comfortably. |
|||||||
05-09-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
Home court has held serve in this series so far, and we expect more of the same tonight. We think Denver is the better team and we expect a strong showing with one of the best home court advantages in the league. We doubt Booker will play like he has in the last couple games, and we think we will see some top performances from some of the role players on Denver. |
|||||||
05-08-23 | Warriors +3 v. Lakers | 101-104 | Push | 0 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
The Warriors were not good on the road in the regular season, but they did win some crucial games in the postseason in Sacramento already and we think they have the experience and talent to bounce back here after getting handled in Game 3. Golden State shot horribly in that game, and this team just doesn’t stay cold for long. Golden State has bounced back nicely after ATS losses lately as they are 4-0 ATS in these situations. |
|||||||
05-07-23 | Nuggets +3 v. Suns | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 4 m | Show |
Love the Nuggets in this spot. We feel they are clearly the better team. They were never going to sweep the Suns, but Phoenix got their win in Game 3 and played about the best game they could, but Denver was still in striking distance at the end. We expect a better effort from the road team in this one and not quite the same effort from the home team. We had the Nuggets as a one-point favorite in our handicapping, so excellent value here and the points could come in handy if the game goes down to the buzzer. |

05-05-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 114-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
We absolutely love the Celtics in this spot. We think one of the best things that could have happened to this team for the series was to lose Game 1 at home. That has upped the intensity and the urgency for this team, and it showed in their dominating Game 2 performance. Embiid came back for the Sixers in Game 2 and played decently. But who knows how his health will hold up here. If this was the regular season, he would for sure be out for an extended period, and it’s never a great idea to rush a player back. But even if he is 100%, we still like Boston here. The Celtics normally cover when they win. This has been one of the safest teams to bet on for several years as they normally bring their A Game and they play great team basketball. This is a team that you can trust. And they know they have a great path to the championship this year with some contenders bowing out early. We really think this is an important game for Boston, and they are a tier above the Sixers, and we think they flex their muscles tonight and take back home court advantage in the series. |

05-03-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -7.5 | 87-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
We were on Philly in Game 1 and had an idea they would be competitive but did not expect them to win. This puts Boston into an almost Must Win situation tonight. But this is a veteran team that has seen it all and done it all, and we think they will be fine. When Boston wins, they normally win by enough to cover as well. They have been prone to some bad efforts in these playoffs but normally bounce back with a stellar performance, and that is what we see tonight, especially with Embiid likely out again for Philly |

3 Unit Play. Take #974 Houston (-1.5 RL) over San Francisco (2:10p.m., Wednesday, May 3 MLB.tv) Houston could not score any runs last night or hardily get any hits for that matter. Look for them to bounce back on Wednesday, as they do not want to drop a series at home against the Giants. Gramber Valdez has pitched well this season with a 2.54 E.R.A. Look for the Houston offense to pitch in on Wednesday. |

05-02-23 | Giants v. Astros -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #930 Houston (-1.5 RL) over San Francisco (8:10p.m., Tuesday, May 2 MLB.tv) The Giants have a ton of injuries and are not a major league team at the moment. Houston is coming off a victory last night in which they pulled away late and expect that to happen again Tuesday. The Giants are 8-24 in their last 32 road games against teams with a winning record. Houston is 10-3 in their last 13 games against National League teams. |

04-29-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -3.5 | Top | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
We were not impressed with what we saw from the Suns in the first round. They let the Clippers hang around in almost every game despite a banged up LA squad. They face a huge step up in competition here. Denver is flat out the better team, and they have the best player on the court. Jokic also has more help around him than ever before, and they are almost unbeatable at home. We think the home teams will win in this series, and there is great value in this line as the Suns are overvalued in the market right now. |
|||||||
04-28-23 | Kings +7.5 v. Warriors | Top | 118-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
We don’t see the Kings going down without a fight, and if they can scrap to a win here, then they have a great chance to close the series out at home. They have suffered only one blowout in this series, and we don’t see it happening again here. They have covered in 12 of the last 15 meetings here, and we don’t see them being intimidated. This team has played with a lot of confidence and swagger, and they are the team with nothing to lose tonight, so they can play free. We see another close game here. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Clippers v. Suns -12.5 | 130-136 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
This Clippers team is toast. The role players have played decently enough but you just get the feeling that not only is this series done, but this team might get blown up in the offseason. Kawhi is out again and dealing with major off-court issues anyways. Coach Lue was defending him to the press and the tone there was that the season was already over even though he wouldn’t say that. We think this one has the biggest chance of a blowout of the series. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Kings +1.5 v. Oilers | 3-6 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
All the games in this series have been close, with three of the four tied at the end of regulation. The one game where Edmonton won by two included an empty netter at the end of the game. So great value on the puckline for the Kings at this number as we could even seeing them pull the outright win as it’s obvious these teams are matched up well. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #956 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (7:20p.m., Tuesday, April 25 MLB.tv) The Braves scored 11 runs last night and expect more of the same from them on Tuesday. They need to win this series since it is at home, and they got swept over the weekend by Houston. Atlanta is 40-16 in their last 56 home games against Miami. We will lay the run line with them again. |
|||||||
04-24-23 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | 0-11 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #902 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Miami (7:20p.m., Monday, April 24 MLB.tv) The Braves are coming off a bad series at home against the Astros. They led in all 3 games yet were swept by Houston with late inning rallies. Now they face a divisional foe and look for them to jump out early and cruise to a victory. Spencer Strider has been outstanding this season with a 2-0 record along with a 2.45 E.R.A. The Braves are 59-25 in the last 84 games against Florida. |
|||||||
04-23-23 | Nationals +1.5 v. Twins | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 Washington (+1.5 RL) +110 over Minnesota (2:05p.m., Sunday, April 23 MLB.tv) The Twins are starting to show their deficiencies. They started off hot, but will enter this game having lost 6 of their last 7 games. They have given up 13 runs to the Nationals in two games and I see this game going down to the wire giving us the victory with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
04-23-23 | Rockies +1.5 v. Phillies | 3-9 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #951 Colorado (+1.5 RL) +135 over Philadelphia (12:05 p.m., Sunday, April 23 Peacock) Both of these teams are bad and just do not believe Philadelphia should be this big of a favorite against any team in the league. The Rockies have covered the run line in all three games of this series and Sunday should be no different. |
|||||||
04-22-23 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #912 New York (-1.5 RL) over Toronto (1p.m., Saturday, April 22 MLB.tv) The Yankees look to even up this series with their ace on the mound Saturday. Cole has been outstanding this season with a 4-0 record to go along with a 0.95 E.R.A. The Blue Jays have most of their power from the right side and look for Cole to neutralize that. |
|||||||
04-21-23 | Celtics -4.5 v. Hawks | 122-130 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 59 m | Show | |
This series has just been pure domination by the Celtics, and this is one series that looks like a possible sweep. Boston knows the importance of getting a series over with quickly in the first round. Boston is a very good road team and they will be motivated here to put another nail in the coffin for the Hawks. Boston is one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season, and we think they will flex their muscles again here in Game 3. |
|||||||
04-20-23 | Suns v. Clippers +3 | 129-124 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
The Suns played an amazing Game 2 and the Clippers didn’t play their best, and they were still in it for the majority of the game, We think this series is close than most others and the Clippers should have a great chance in both games at home. We had this game handicapped at pickem, so we think there is really good value at this number, especially since it’s above the NBA key number of 2. |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Clippers +8.5 v. Suns | 109-123 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
We think the Suns with Durant are a tad bit overrated and we think the Clippers without George are a tad bit underrated. And we love this line for the underdog on Tuesday. Yes, the Suns were 8-0 with Durant in the regular season. But this is the playoffs, and Durant still hasn’t had time to gel with his teammates. The Clippers have a lot more depth and they can punish you from a variety of areas, whereas the Suns are very thin even though they have more star power. We expect another close game here. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Orioles v. White Sox -1.5 | 8-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #918 Chicago (-1.5 RL) +150 over Baltimore (2:10p.m., Sunday, April 16 MLB.tv) This is a pitching mismatch with Dylan Cease on the mound for the White Sox. He is a strikeout machine and look for another dominating performance from him on Sunday. Grayson Rodriguez was hit hard last time out against Oakland and should struggle in this game as well. |
|||||||
04-16-23 | Mets -1.5 v. A's | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #927 New York (-1.5 RL) +105 over Oakland (4:07p.m., Sunday, April 16 MLB.tv) The Mets did not get many hits yesterday and still won the game. No bet against Oakland is a bad bet. The Mets will score enough runs today and cover the run line. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Warriors v. Kings | Top | 123-126 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
Love the Kings in this spot. They were the much better team in the regular season, and this isn’t just a flash in the pan as this team will likely be good for years. Maybe we will be seeing a changing of the guard in this series for the top team in California. Golden State is 11-30 on the road this season, and we don’t expect them to suddenly fix their road woes in the postseason. They are also 5-13 in the last 18 meetings against Sacramento. The Kings won’t want to let a season worth of hard work to go to waste by giving up home court in Game 1, and we think the Warriors are getting too much respect in this Game 1 because of past accomplishments. |
|||||||
04-15-23 | Mets -1.5 v. A's | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 New York (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (4:07p.m., Saturday, April 15 MLB.tv) No bet against Oakland is a bad bet this season. The Mets need to fatten up their record and they should be able to do that this entire series. Both starting pitchers have been hit hard this season, but the difference will be the offense of the Mets in this game. |
|||||||
04-14-23 | Thunder +5.5 v. Wolves | Top | 95-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
We were on the Wolves against the Lakers and were lucky to cover that one after one of the worst fourth quarter performances of the season. OKC looked great against the Pelicans and they didn’t look nervous or intimidated. They looked like a playoff team. Minnesota sure didn’t. We think the poor play late will carry over here and we think the internal problems the Wolves are facing will be too much to overcome here. |
|||||||
04-11-23 | Wolves +8.5 v. Lakers | Top | 102-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
We can’t deny that the Timberwolves are a circus right now with everything going on with this team right now. But with all the negative media attention, plus the Lakers being one of the biggest public betting teams in all of sports, this line has been way over adjusted. Minnesota still had a solid team to bring to the court tonight, and they have covered in six of the last seven meetings and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 trips to LA to play the Lakers. Some very nice value in this line tonight. |
|||||||
04-09-23 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -125 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Bad teams that are spunky and with fight are normally pretty good against the puckline. But not the Ducks. They are 37-42 ATS overall and 16-22 at home. Anaheim surprised the Avs last time out, but Colorado has won the previous seven meetings, all by multiple goals. Both teams played Saturday and enter on a back-to-back, but the Ducks played extra hockey as they lost in OT to the Coyotes. They are probably happy with that moral victory and they face a big step up in class here. |
|||||||
04-09-23 | Spurs v. Mavs -3.5 | 138-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
The Mavs got a lot of heat for tanking out of the play in in their last game, and their main players are out here. This is still a better team than San Antonio will have on the court today, and we think the Mavs will go all out to get the win here with the roster they have on the floor. We think that Dallas has nice motivation here because of the controversy and we expect a comfortable win today. |
|||||||
04-09-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | 0-11 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #966 Tampa Bay (-1.5 RL) -155 over Oakland (1:10p.m., Sunday, April 9 MLB.tv) Tampa Bay is 8-0 on the season and won all 8 games by at least 4 runs. Enough said. |
|||||||
04-08-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | 0-11 | Win | 100 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #918 Tampa Bay (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 8 MLB.tv) The Rays are the hottest team in baseball and have been winning games in 2023 by a historic clip (all wins by at least 4 runs). Saturday, they look for their 8th straight win and they are playing one of the worst teams in the league. Until further notice you can pretty much just play Tampa Bay blind. |
|||||||
04-08-23 | Blazers v. Clippers -16.5 | 125-136 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
The Clippers need a win here. A loss could mean the play in tournament. They won’t lose, but we think this one will be a blowout. The Blazers are looking forward to their offseason and they have a skeleton crew roster right now. The Clippers are relatively healthy. Portland has lost four of their last eight games by 20+ points, and that shows they just don’t care that much at the moment. LAC have covered all of the last six meetings in LA. |
|||||||
04-07-23 | Knicks v. Pelicans -8 | 105-113 | Push | 0 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
This game means a lot for the Pelicans who want to move up out of the play in and the Knicks are stable at the No. 5 seed and will be trying to avoid injuries. The Pelicans are playing excellent basketball down the stretch and they have been winning and covering a lot lately. If this team can get into the first round or win in the play in then Zion Williamson could be back for the playoffs, and a healthy Pelicans could be a force to be reckoned with. So they have some extra motivation here. |
|||||||
04-07-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #962 Tampa Bay (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (6:40p.m., Friday, April 7 MLB.tv) The Rays are the only undefeated team in baseball, and they are playing one of the worst teams in the league tonight at Tropicana Field. All six of their victories came by at least 4 runs and tonight should be no different. Zach Eflin was outstanding in his first start this season and the same cannot be said for Ken Waldichuk. Oakland is 18-38 in their last 56 road games. Tampa Bay is 36-17 in their last 53 home games. The Rays are 19-7 in their last 26 home games against a left-handed starter. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

04-06-23 | Coyotes v. Seattle Kraken -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
The Coyotes had their nice hot streak where they were very competitive at home for a stretch but the wheels have fallen off despite the venue. They have lost eight straight, and they have a goal differential of -15 in their last three games. In their last match, they lost to this Kraken club here in Seattle 8-1. Seattle is still fighting for playoff position, so they have motivation here, while the Coyotes look like they are ready to pack it in for the season and they have been playing their worst hockey of a lousy season recently. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Blazers v. Spurs -4 | Top | 127-129 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
It’s not often that we see the Spurs listed as a favorite, but here we are. And we think it’s very justified for this game tonight. Both teams have skeleton rosters here. But the Spurs have the better roster here and home-court advantage. Plus, they are in a better state mentally than the Blazers. The Spurs have been tanking all season and they know what they are. The Blazers had high expectations this season and fell well below them, and this franchise will be facing a lot of changes soon. The Spurs are just further ahead in their plan and we think that translates on the court tonight. They also have a winning record as a rare favorite and have covered in five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
04-05-23 | Lakers v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 118-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
We liked the rested Clippers before we saw the Lakers use tons of energy last night vs. Utah, and now this looks like an even worse spot for them against the Clippers, a team that has owned them in recent years. The Clippers have won and covered five straight in the series. They are coming off two straight losses and they need a win badly here. The Lakers have played two grueling road games since the Clippers last played, and they needed OT last night to get by Utah, so this is a supersized back-to-back and their third game in four nights. Tough task against a Clippers team desperate for a win. |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Kings v. Pelicans -1.5 | 121-103 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 54 m | Show | |
New Orleans is playing as well as any team in the Western Conference right now and they are on the verge of moving up from the play in and being a Top 6 seed as they are one game out. They face a Kings team that didn’t play well Sunday in a loss to the Spurs. They face a considerable step up in class tonight against a well-rested team. The Kings have covered only two of their last seven meetings here and normally don’t play their best in the Big Easy. |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Tigers v. Astros -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -130 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Houston (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (8:10p.m., Tuesday, April 4 MLB.tv) The Astros could not complete the comeback on Monday, but they do not want to drop the first two games of their series to Detroit. The Tigers will be one of the worst teams in the league in 2023 and we will lay the run line with the low odds backing the much better team. Framber Valdez threw 5 shutout innings on opening day and expect another strong showing from him on Tuesday. |
|||||||
03-30-23 | Celtics +2.5 v. Bucks | 140-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Love the Celtics in this spot. They are coming off a drubbing by the Wizards in a game where they were probably looking ahead, and we are getting a better line as a result. Milwaukee is on a back-to-back and they played a crazy game last night vs. Indiana where they scored 149 in a fast paced game. They worked hard and ran a lot, and we think they will be tired here. The Celtics always seem to get up for big games, and the Bucks have been the opposite as they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight against teams above .600. Boston is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Milwaukee, and they won’t be intimidated at all to play their best here tonight. |
|||||||
03-28-23 | Celtics v. Wizards +11.5 | 111-130 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Just think this is too many points and a possible letdown spot for the Celtics with their big game against the Bucks looming. Washington hasn’t covered a lot of spreads lately but they will no doubt want to play well here against the Celtics in front of the home fans, and we just don’t see Boston running away with this one, especially since they likely have their eyes on the Bucks matchup on Thursday. |
|||||||
03-27-23 | Oilers -1.5 v. Coyotes | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
We have been all over the Coyotes puckline in home games this season. But this team has been overworked lately, and no one could blame them to not give 100% here in a game that would get ugly quickly. Not only is this a back-to-back for Arizona and their third game in four nights, but they played extended hockey last night with OT and a shootout. They lost that shootout to the Avs, and they looked out of gas there at the end of the game. Edmonton was off Sunday and they have won seven of eight in this series, five of which came by multiple goals. |
|||||||
03-27-23 | 76ers v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
The Sixers two best players are questionable here and this Philly team is reeling a bit. They have lost two straight and three of four, and those losses weren’t pretty. Denver has won and covered three straight and four of five, and it seems this team’s recent struggles are in the rearview mirror. Denver matches up well here and this team seems to have raised their level of play lately and in the last few games this team looks like a squad that can beat anyone. We think they will want to make a statement in this possible NBA Finals preview. |
|||||||
03-26-23 | Blues v. Kings -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
The Kings have been playing some of their best hockey this season at the moment and they have won nine of 10. Seven of their most recent wins have been by multiple goals, so they have been dominant. One of those multi-goal wins was earlier this month against these Blues. Both teams are on a back-to-back, but the Kings will have played both games at home, so that is another big advantage. |
|||||||
03-26-23 | Miami-FL +4 v. Texas | 88-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #655 Miami (FL) over Texas (5:05p.m., Sunday, March 26 CBS) Miami is poised to break through and reach the Final Four for the first time in their history. They have players that can make shots against this big Texas team and I feel they should be able to take this one down to the wire. Miami is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Texas is 3-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 NCAA Tournament games. |
|||||||
03-25-23 | Bucks v. Nuggets -2.5 | 106-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
It seems the Nuggets are back on track as they have won and covered two straight and three of four. The Bucks are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, and you have to think that the key guys will get limited minutes if they suit up at all. Health for the playoffs is more important to the Bucks here than winning. The Nuggets are well rested here, and a win would go a long way to putting their recent poor play in the rear-view. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Xavier +4.5 v. Texas | Top | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #645 Xavier over Texas (9:45p.m., Friday, March 24 CBS) NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR. Just feel this will be too big of stage for Texas and their interim coach. Rodney Terry still has not been given the full time gig yet and I feel that will be a detriment to them in this game. The Musketeers have had a ton of success in the NCAA Tournament and Sean Miller has had good success at this level as well. Texas has not been at this round since 2008 prior to this run and they have not had much NCAA Tournament success in the last 15 years. Xavier is a great offensive team and that is something Texas did not see much of in the Big 12 this season. Texas plays in the better conference but I still do not believe they have seen an offensive team like Xavier will show on Friday. Xavier is 25-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 35 NCAA tournament games. Texas is 2-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 NCAA Tournament games. Teams have struggled to score all tournament long and giving up this many points does not bode well for Texas. Take the points, as Xavier does not need them and marches onto the Elite 8. |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Thunder v. Clippers -4 | Top | 105-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a strong revenge spot for the Clippers after the Thunder edged them here on Tuesday. Not only is this a revenge spot, but the Clippers are mad/frustrated with their performance on Tuesday as they had the ball with a near full shot clock down 1 at the end of the game and didn’t even get a shot off. Paul George will miss this game and all the others to end the regular season. But Kawhi and a deep roster around him should be able to pick up the slack against a Thunder team that has been playing above their heads recently. |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Gonzaga +1.5 v. UCLA | 79-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #641 Gonzaga over UCLA (9:45p.m., Thursday, March 23 CBS) Just feel all the injuries UCLA has will finally catch up with them in this game. Gonzaga has been underrated most of the year and is much more healthier team in this matchup. The Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games following an ATS loss in the previous game. The line is trending towards Gonzaga and expect them to win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
03-22-23 | Coyotes v. Oilers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -175 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
We have backed the Coyotes many times at home and on the puckline lately, but this is not a good spot for them on a back-to-back and on the road no less against one of the strongest offensive teams in the NBA. This Arizona team has raised their level of play at home but they just don’t bring the same energy on the road, and they are satisfied with their play lately so we think this one could get out of hand quickly. |
|||||||
03-22-23 | Blazers v. Jazz -4.5 | 127-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Utah has won two straight, including an impressive home win over Boston. They have covered in six straight and they are trying to hold onto their spot in the play in here tonight. The Blazers are cooked and don’t have a realistic chance to make the play in, so they are basically playing out the string here. They enter on a six-game skid. |
|||||||
03-21-23 | Wisconsin +5 v. Oregon | 61-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #615 Wisconsin over Oregon (9p.m., Tuesday, March 21 ESPN) This line has come down this morning and I expect it to be a game to be competitive. Wisconsin is motivated to be in this tournament, and this has the size to matchup with Oregon in the paint. Elite 8 matchups in the NIT tend to go down to the wire and I expect that to case on Tuesday. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Oregon is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-21-23 | Cavs -3.5 v. Nets | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Brooklyn has lost three straight both SU and ATS. They had been playing well after the big trade, but they seem to have fallen off a cliff lately and their offensive struggles have been the culprit. That doesn’t bode well for tonight against the top defensive team in the NBA. Cleveland has been playing well, and they have been beating up on bad teams lately. We think this one has a good chance to be a blowout. |
|||||||
03-19-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Blazers | 117-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
The Clippers are trying to put it together before the playoffs. They had their four-game winning streak snapped last time out vs. Orlando, but this team should bounce back well here, with or without Kawhi, who is listed as questionable. Portland has lost five straight and covered in only one of those games, so they are definitely vulnerable, and you know the Clips want to string together some wins and solid play before the postseason. |
|||||||
03-19-23 | Blue Jackets v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 4 h 35 m | Show |
Columbus got smacked around by Anaheim last time out and they are up against a much better team here on Sunday. They have won seven of their last nine and have looked good doing it, with three of their last four wins coming by double digits. Vegas lost last time out, and this looks like a great spot for them to bounce back with a multi-goal win. |

03-19-23 | Liberty v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 71-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 Wisconsin over Liberty (12p.m., Sunday, March 19 ESPN2) Wisconsin showed on Tuesday that they want to play in the NIT and look for them to use their size and strength to advance to round 3 of the NIT. Liberty plays a similar style that Wisconsin does and I feel they will struggle against the length that Wisconsin has. The Flames are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Badgers are 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 home games. |

03-18-23 | 76ers v. Pacers +6.5 | Top | 141-121 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
There is some reverse line movement here as the majority of the cash is on the Sixers but the odds have moved the other way, which is always a good sign since we were really high on the Pacers to start off with. The Sixers are playing great, but they are on a back-to-back here and playing their third game in four nights, while the Pacers are well rested here with Friday off. Philly has been playing very well, but they should be tired here and we don’t see them giving 100%. These teams played two weeks ago, here in Indiana, and the Sixers had to rally for a four-point win. We think Indiana can do even better here and possibly win outright. Indiana needs to win games down the stretch to make the play in. So they will be the more motivated team. Philly traditionally struggles in this matchup as they are 0-4 ATS in the last four visits to Indiana and 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings overall. |

03-18-23 | Duke -3 v. Tennessee | Top | 52-65 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 50 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #803 Duke over Tennessee (2:40p.m., Saturday, March CBS) Rick Barnes is a loser and we have faded him numerous times in the postseason and been highly successful doing it. Duke is playing as well as anybody in the country and will enter this game having won 9 straight games. The Blue Devils have the size to matchup with Tennessee and are much better on the perimeter without Zakai Zeigler playing. The Volunteers are 1-7 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Duke is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. |

03-17-23 | Vermont +10.5 v. Marquette | 61-78 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #743 Vermont over Marquette (2:45p.m., Friday, March 17 CBS) Marquette and Shaka Smart do not have a great record in the NCAA Tournament of late and look for this to be a struggle for them to advance. Coach Smart did not win an NCAA Tournament games while at Texas and has not won a game since 2013. Vermont is 18-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games following a victory in their previous game. Marquette is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games. The Golden Eagles do not have the size to dominate this game and thus I expect it to be a single digit game. |

03-16-23 | Boise State v. Northwestern -1 | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 27 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #766 Northwestern over Boise State (7:35p.m., Thursday, March 16 TruTV) No bet against the Mountain West is a bad bet in the NCAA Tournament. The MWC has won just two games in their last 15 including going 0-4 in 2022. Northwestern plays a style that can frustrate Boise State and the time off with a Friday exit from last week will do them some good. Boise State got beat badly by Utah State two times over the last ten days and I do not expect them to bounce back in a big way on Thursday. Northwestern won their first round NCAA tournament game a few years ago and I expect history to repeat itself. Boise State is 2-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Northwestern is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. |
