12-08-22 | Rockets v. Spurs +2 | Top | 109-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Make no mistake, the Spurs have been playing some of the worst basketball in the NBA and have been making an art out of tanking. But this looks like a very winnable game for them and they are going to get a win and cover at a certain point. We think tonight is the night. This team shot out of the gate with some great performances and was once one of the better bets in the league. Then some injuries hit and they fell off the cliff. But we think the value has swung the other way now and they should be a favorite here. Houston has only one more win than the Spurs. They are 3-12 away from home. They are 3-7-1 in the last 11 meetings. The Spurs have had extended rest coming into this one and should get a couple of their injured soldiers back for this game, and we expect a rare win from the home team tonight. |

12-08-22 | Senators +185 v. Stars | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Ottawa has won two of three and four of six, so they are playing well at the moment and they are a live underdog here. Dallas enters having lost two straight and four of six, and they have been perfectly mediocre lately. We are taking a chance on the nice price here as we think Ottawa has a great chance. They have won four straight in this series. |
|||||||
12-08-22 | Raiders -6 v. Rams | Top | 16-17 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 35 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #101 Las Vegas Raiders over Los Angeles Rams (8:15p.m., Thursday, December 8 Amazon Prime) These two teams are heading in opposite directions, and I see a double digit victory for the visitor. The Raiders have won 3 straight games and played well last week against the Chargers, a game which was not as close as the final score would indicate. The Raiders have the much better offense with Derek Carr, Davonte Adams, and Josh Jacobs playing outstanding of late. The Rams are 3-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games as a home underdog. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-07-22 | Michigan State +4 v. Penn State | 67-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #663 Michigan State over Penn State (6:30p.m., Wednesday, December 7 BTN) Michigan State has been one of the most disappointing teams this season and Coach Izzo may not be able to dig out of this whole come March. But they still have more talent than does Penn State and getting this many points with is too good to pass up. Penn State is 6-2 on the season but does not have any wins against likely NCAA Tournament teams. The road team is 5-2 ATS in the last 5 games between Michigan State and Penn State. |
|||||||
12-06-22 | Canadiens v. Seattle Kraken -1.5 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
Seattle had won seven straight before being embarrassed here on their home ice last time out Saturday vs. Florida. They had an off game, but they will be anxious to get back on track here, and this team is playing as good of hockey as any team in the NHL right now. They have a great chance to get back on the winning track here. The Canadiens are coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third in four nights, while Seattle had two days to shake off that loss. And they didn’t have to leave Seattle. Montreal started off strong last night in Vancouver, but they looked fatigue and had all sorts of defensive lapses as they gave up seven goals from the second period to overtime. It’s hard to think that we won’t see that carry over here. The Canadiens have been playing well and they are fat and happy having won three of six, and this is one they might just take a mulligan on as they have three days off after this game. |
|||||||
12-06-22 | Maryland v. Wisconsin -1 | 59-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. #646 Wisconsin over Maryland (9p.m., Tuesday, December 6 ESPN2) Unranked team that is favored over a ranked team is always a recipe for success. Maryland has played outstanding this season and they have gotten new life under Coach Kevin Willard. The Badgers have also been playing much better since they got out of the baseball stadium and ballroom. Those venues are tough to shoot in and playing in basketball arenas have been their numbers go up. Maryland is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning home record. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-06-22 | Pistons +8.5 v. Heat | 116-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Miami is one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA at 8-15-1 ATS. They were one of the best last season but they have not lived up to oddsmaker expectations so far this season. Miami enters this one on a back-to-back, while Detroit had the night off Monday. Detroit has struggled to start the season and has dealt with many injuries, but they are starting to get players back. They have been a very strong bet when getting more than seven points, and they have also covered in all of the last four meetings. |
|||||||
12-06-22 | Switzerland v. Portugal -115 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 47 m | Show | |
Both sides took 6 points out of the group stage but we think Portugal did it better and we think they are the better side overall. This price is more than fair, and we think this is a mismatch that the favorite will likely win by multiple goals. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Chiefs -1.5 v. Bengals | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #473 Kansas City Chiefs over Cincinnati Bengals (4:25 p.m., Sunday, December 4 CBS) Revenge will be served in Cincinnati on Sunday, as the Chiefs get payback from the Bengals knocking them out of the 2022 playoffs. Kansas City blew a 21-3 lead in that game, but that will not happen on Sunday. The Chiefs lead the NFL in scoring at close to 30 points per game. Kansas City also has a fourth quarter pass rush that should pay dividends in this game, especially if they are leading late. The Chiefs need to keep winning games to clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC and the bye that comes with that. The Bengals are starting to get healthy, but the Chiefs are a well-oiled machine that is playing better than anyone in the league at this moment. Kansas City is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games played during the month of December. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Senegal v. England OVER 2 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
England had the draw against USA but they scored nine goals in their other two group stage games. Their offense is playing well. Senegal had five goals in their last two matches. Both teams are playing well on the offensive end and we see both sides getting at least one through. We expect a 2-1 England win, but there could be a chance for more goals than that. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Packers -4 v. Bears | Top | 28-19 | Win | 100 | 72 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #465 Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears (1p.m., Sunday, December 4 FOX) NFL GAME OF THE YEAR The Packers are in freefall now having lost 7 of their last 8 games. But Aaron Rodgers and company own the Bears having beaten them in 12 of the last 13 meetings (10-3 ATS). Green Bay played their best game of the season against Chicago earlier this season. The Packers are 24-5 against the Bears in games Aaron Rodgers has started. The Bears are in worse shape injury wise compared to the Packers and I just do not believe Justin Fields can win this game by himself. The favorite is 20-8 ATS in the last 29 games between Green Bay and Chicago. That includes Green Bay going 23-7 ATS in the last 30 meetings and 18-5 ATS in the last 23 games at Soldier Field. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Kentucky v. Michigan +8.5 | 73-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #738 Michigan over Kentucky (1p.m., Sunday, December 4 ABC) We will grab the points in this matchup taking place in Europe. Michigan took Virginia down to the wire and I do not see Kentucky winning this game by double-digits. Kentucky does not have any quality wins at this points of the season, and their loses are to teams that already have a bunch of losses this season, Gonzaga and Michigan State. Michigan is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. Kentucky is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Thunder v. Wolves UNDER 232 | Top | 135-128 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
The Thunder were on an over tear, but their offense has come back to earth a bit while the bookies have overadjusted their totals on a nightly basis. Two of their last three have gone under, and we think that is the way this one will go as well. Minnesota is 13-9 to the under this season. The Thunder have been having some scoring lapses lately and their best player is banged up as well. Also, the last five meetings in Minnesota have all gone under the posted number. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Sharks v. Senators OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Ottawa has been an under team lately but this is the lowest total they have faced in awhile. The Senators have a poor defense already but will be coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. The Sharks have been somewhat inconsistent on the offensive end recently, but there is no denying that they are playing better on that end while the season goes on, and they will have some opportunities here. The over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Marquette | 80-77 | Win | 100 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #669 Wisconsin over Marquette (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 3 FS1) This line is an overreaction to this week’s games for each team. Marquette shot the ball tremendously against Baylor and if they do that, they will win this game big. But Wisconsin has a better defense than Baylor and the Badgers have been playing better offensively in their two recent games. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 games between Wisconsin and Marquette. This in-state rivalry should go down to the wire. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Australia v. Argentina -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -125 | 2 h 30 m | Show |
Argentina got a gift for their first knockout stage game as the Socceroos were a surprise to advance this far. This team’s goal was to advance and they are probably just happy to be here. That makes them dangerous, but Argentina has looked better every game. They played one of the best games of any side in the tournament last time out with a dominant match vs. Poland that was way more lopsided than the final indicated as the Polish goalkeeper played hero ball. The Argentines now look primed for a deep run here and they have a great first opponent from which to get another dominant win. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Kansas State +2.5 v. TCU | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 94 h 11 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #307 Kansas State Wildcats over TCU Horned Frogs (12p.m., Saturday, December 3 ABC) Just do not feel TCU can win every close game in route to an undefeated season. This line is begging you to take the Frogs, but Kansas State has revenge in this game. The Wildcats are on a 3-0 ATS run winning by 48 combined points in those game over the posted number. K-State lost their quarterback in the first meeting, but the backup has been playing a lot recently and been good. The Wildcats have covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games against the Horned Frogs. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | United States v. Netherlands -105 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show |
This is a public line in our opinion with squares loading up on USA, but we think their run ends here. They are banged up and had trouble scoring in the group stage. Their group was very top heavy yet the Americans almost missed the knockout stage. Netherlands has the superior talent and experience. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Pacers +5 v. Jazz | Top | 119-139 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
The Jazz got off to a hot start but have cooled off big time and are now looking more like the team we expected to see entering the season. They also have some key injuries that are holding them back. They got a win last time out but that was their first in six games. Utah has excelled in the underdog role for betting purposes, but they are just 2-6 ATS as a favorite this season. Indiana is one of the best ATS teams in the league, and they quietly get the job done night in and night out. They are 8-3 ATS when getting more than three points as a dog. They are also 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Utah and 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings overall. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Utah +3 v. USC | 47-24 | Win | 100 | 78 h 12 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #305 Utah Utes over USC Trojans (8p.m., Friday, December 2 FOX) The Trojans have a lot of the line in this game, as a win will vault them into the College Football Playoffs. The Utes travel well and it will not surprise me if they have a home crowd edge in Las Vegas for this game. USC is 0-3 ATS in the PAC-12 Championship Game and they already lost to Utah once this season. The Trojans still have a suspect defense and Utah has the edge at a variety of positions in this game. The underdog has covered the spread in 4 straight games between Utah and USC. Utah is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games following a victory in their previous game. USC is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Enough said, Utah is a backet buster for the college football playoffs in 2022/23. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Gonzaga -2.5 v. Baylor | 63-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #879 Gonzaga over Baylor (8p.m., Friday, December 2 Peacock) Just feel like Gonzaga has more upside in this game compared to Baylor. The Bears have been pounded twice this season including last time out against a Marquette team that shot lights out. Baylor’s defense is not what it has been the last couple of years. Baylor is 1-5 ATS in their last 5 games played on Fridays. The Bulldogs need this game more since they will have less opportunities for quality wins come conference play. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Senators +162 v. Rangers | Top | 3-2 | Win | 162 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
We think this line provides tons of value and we think the Senators have a great chance to pull off the upset. These teams played Wednesday in Ottawa and the Rangers pulled out the 3-1 win. Ottawa played well in that game but the Rangers had the more efficient shooting. Now the rematch switches to NYC. The Rangers have a losing record at home at 4-5-2-1. It’s very difficult to beat a team twice in three days, and Ottawa should make some adjustments to give them an edge. Before that win, the Rangers had dropped three straight and they are not in great form at the moment. Ottawa had won two straight before the loss to the Rangers, so they have been playing well. We think all this adds up to the Senators being on upset alert tonight. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Flames | Top | 2-1 | Win | 101 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
Just don’t think the Flames are playing well enough to warrant being this big of a favorite. They enter having lost three of four. Montreal has won two of three and three of five, so they are in stronger current form. We always like to look at the underdog when Canadian teams play. They normally always bring their A Game. It’s not a big sample size, but Montreal has been an underdog in all three Canadian matchups this season and won two outright and lost one in OT. They have also won the last three meetings, all as underdogs. The underdog is 12-5 in this series for the last 17 games. We see this being a close matchup and we think the Canadiens have a chance to win but we like the good value on the puckline. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Mavs v. Pistons +8 | Top | 125-131 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Dallas is a very poor road team at 1-7 on the season. They have failed to cover in five straight on the road. Detroit is 8-3-2 ATS as an underdog of 7.5 or more, and they have served bettors well as a big underdog. Dallas is 2-11-1 ATS as a favorite of three or more points. At 5-14-1 ATS, this is the absolute worst ATS team in the league, cashing less than 27 percent of their games for bettors. Detroit’s only ATS loss in their last six games was last time out in a 30-point home loss to the Knicks. They will want to put in a much better effort in front of the home fans here. This is another inflated line for Dallas and this is an easy call to go against them. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Germany -2.5 v. Costa Rica | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -120 | 2 h 22 m | Show |
Germany played a lot better in their second match, with a draw vs. Spain after losing to Japan in the first match. We saw with Argentina that a top side can lose their first game and bounce back., and now Germany is facing the worst side in the group with their fate on the line. There could be a scenario where the Germans may need goals for a tiebreaker, so we think they go all out here against a vulnerable side. Costa Rica is probably one of the worst sides in this World Cup despite a win vs. Japan. That followed a 7-0 loss to Spain. This is a side an aggressive German side can beat badly, and we expect them to make the most of their opportunities. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Morocco v. Canada UNDER 2.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -135 | 15 h 44 m | Show | |
Morocco have not allowed a goal yet in this World Cup and they now have not allowed a goal in six straight matches. Canada have shown they don’t have the offensive firepower to compete in this Tournament. They got their first ever goal early vs. Croatia but had only one other shot on goal in that match. Canada still has a goal in this tournament despite being eliminated: to win a match. We think they will ramp up the defense here and hope to get a lucky one through on the offensive end. |
|||||||
11-30-22 | North Carolina v. Indiana -4 | Top | 65-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #720 Indiana -4 over North Carolina (9:15p.m., Wednesday, November 29 ESPN) NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR We lost some points on this game when North Carolina was exposed in Portland over the weekend, but the brand of Carolina still holds weight with the general public. The Tar Heels have been overrated and did not do much until the NCAA Tournament last season. Everyone assume that they would pick up right where they left off in April but that has not been the case. Now they must face a rested Hoosiers team at home that is waiting for a marquee win under Mike Woodson. Indiana has a ton of talent, and they are playing at a much higher level than North Carolina is. The Tar Heels played a 4 overtime game on Sunday and I just do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game. Carolina has been terrible on offense and are 200+ in the country in assists per game. North Carolina is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played on Wednesdays. Indiana is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. This will be a double-digit victory for the home team and we expect to collect big in the process as well. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Spurs v. Thunder UNDER 231.5 | Top | 111-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
The Thunder offense has fallen off the cliff the last couple games, failing to score more than 105 in consecutive games, Looks like this team is trending to the under after being a hot over team for awhile. Besides the last game against the Lakers, which was a barnburner, the Spurs have had offensive issues and scored under the century mark in three of their last five games. The under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and we see this one going well under the number here. |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Sharks v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
Toronto has been playing great defense and are trending to the under as a result. The Sharks are coming in on a back-to-back as a huge underdog and we don’t see them scoring much tonight. This is also their third game in four nights. We agree with the oddsmakers on the moneyline that Toronto should be the big favorite here and we don’t see the Sharks being too competitive, so even if Toronto scores a lot, we don’t think the Sharks will contribute their share of the total. |
|||||||
11-29-22 | Virginia v. Michigan +4 | 70-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #636 Michigan over Virginia (9:30p.m., Tuesday, November 29 ESPN) Michigan has not played great this season and this is a win they need to build their resume for the NCAA Tournament. Virginia has been playing outstanding of late, but I do not believe they are the No. 3 team in the nation and this is a good matchup for Michigan. The Wolverines have the best post player in this game and they will grind out a low scoring victory on their home floor. Virginia is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games following a victory of more than 20 points in their previous game. Michigan is 34-16 ATS in their last 51 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-28-22 | Suns v. Kings +1.5 | 122-117 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
The Suns are rolling lately but they have played a very easy schedule. This Kings team is very underrated right now and they have been one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season. They didn’t play well in their recent three-game road trip so they will want to bring their A Game tonight against a Western Conference rival back at home. The Kings have covered in four of the last five meetings, and we think that trend continues here on Monday. |
|||||||
11-28-22 | Sam Houston State +3 v. Nevada | 60-78 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 40 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #817 Sam Houston State over Nevada (10p.m., Monday, November 28) This low number should tell you how good Sam Houston State has been playing this season. Both teams are coming off a holiday tournament last week, but I feel Sam Houston State is being undervalued here and will win this game straight-up and move to 7-0 on the season. The Bearkats are 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 road games. Nevada is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against teams with a winning road record. |
|||||||
11-28-22 | Devils v. Rangers UNDER 6 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
This is a regional rivalry and both teams will try to do what they do best here to get the win, and we think that means defense tonight. Both teams are Top 10 for goals allowed defensively, and the Devils possess the league’s top defense. New Jersey is heavily trending to the under, with only one of their last 10 games going over the posted total. These teams are a combined 26-16 to the under this season. Historically, these teams have played a lot of overs. But we think that trend is moving in the other direction, with two of the last three meetings going under. We expect another low scoring game tonight. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Canucks v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
We see this as a very competitive match and think both teams will get their fair share of goals. Four of the last five meetings in San Jose have gone over the posted total. The Shar’s best goalie is out injured here so Kahkonen will get the start. He’s given up an average of four goals per game and gave up seven last time out vs. Seattle. Vancouver has scored at least four goals in five straight games. San Jose has improved on offense as the season has progressed. They had a dud last time out on offense but should bounce back well here tonight in a very winnable game. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Pacers -1 v. Clippers | 100-114 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
The Pacers are one of the best ATS teams this season and this team is quietly getting the job done and staying off the radar for public bettors. They are 12-6 ATS on the season, including a 5-2 ATS road mark. They are deserving favorites here. The Clippers will be without their stars again here. And although this team is one of the deepest in the league, it’s still a work in progress and the Clippers haven’t been able to string together much consistent play. Indiana is coming in off an impressive blowout over the Nets and we think they play with a lot of confidence here in LA. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Raiders v. Seahawks -3.5 | Top | 40-34 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 27 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #266 Seattle Seahawks over Las Vegas Raiders (4:05p.m., Sunday, November 27 CBS) Just have no confidence in the Raiders to win back-to-back road games. Seattle is coming off a bye after playing in London last time out against Tampa Bay. Look for them to come back strong on Sunday, as they are 3-1 at home this season. Seattle has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 home games and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against AFC teams. The home team has covered the spread in 7 of the last 9 meetings between Las Vegas and Seattle. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Duke -1.5 v. Purdue | 56-75 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #783 Duke over Purdue (3:30p.m., Sunday, November 27 ABC) Purdue just does not handle prosperity well. Coming off a great win against Gonzaga, look for them to take a step back in the finals against Duke. That is the history of Matt Painter and this program. Purdue is 5-11 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 18 games. They are also 3-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 13 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Lakers -2.5 v. Spurs | 143-138 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Lakers are a bad team and not a championship contender. But they have won four of five and are playing decently well right now. The same can’t be said for the Spurs, who started strong but have since fallen off a cliff. They have lost seven straight and covered only one of those contests. They seem to have fully embraced the tanking strategy, and we don’t see them putting up much of a fight here. The Lakers have covered in five of the last seven trips to San Antonio. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Iowa v. TCU +7 | 66-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #678 TCU over Iowa (7p.m., Saturday, November 26 CBSSN) Just think this is a lot of points for both teams rebuilding. Iowa lost a ton of scoring from last season, and I question if they will be able to blowout TCU on a neutral court with very little atmosphere. TCU is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Nevada +12.5 v. UNLV | 22-27 | Win | 100 | 114 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #197 Nevada Wolf Pack over UNLV Rebels (6p.m., Saturday, November 26 MWN) The underdogs have dominated this rivalry played every year for the Freemont Cannon. UNLV lost their chance to become bowl eligible last week at Hawaii. Nevada has had a lost season as well and has had a few weeks to point towards this game, as it is all they have left to play for. The betting underdog has won 6 of the last 9 meetings straight-up. Look for this game to remain in single digits and thus we will cover this spread. UNLV just does not deserve to be this big of a favorite against anyone on the schedule. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -3 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 111 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #186 Wisconsin Badgers over Minnesota Golden Gophers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 26 ESPN) The Battle for the Ax takes place Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, WI. Minnesota has not fared well against the better teams on their schedule. The Badgers want to win this game badly and then make Jim Leonard their permanent coach. Playing at home will be the difference in this game. Minnesota is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. The Badgers take back the Ax and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Oilers +144 v. Rangers | 4-3 | Win | 144 | 1 h 36 m | Show | |
Both teams have been mediocre lately and we think the Rangers are vulnerable here. Edmonton has been a good road team and they won’t roll over today in this matchup. This is the first game back home after a road trip for the home team, and that can be a tricky one to navigate. Edmonton has won four of the last five meetings, so they have a strong history here. |

11-25-22 | Kings v. Sharks +132 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
This is one of the better rivalries in hockey and one that the Sharks have dominated recently, winning 8 of the last 10 meetings. We think that San Jose is underrated by the oddsmakers now and their numbers haven’t reflected the play on the court, and we will follow the value again tonight. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wyoming +15.5 v. Fresno State | 0-30 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #137 Wyoming Cowboys over Fresno State Bulldogs (10p.m., Friday, November 25 FS1) The Bulldogs have already clinched a spot in the MWC Title Game at Boise next Saturday. They do not have any chance to be the group of 5 team to make a New Year’s Six Bowl and thus I just do not see the motivation for them in this game. Wyoming is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games when they are a double-digit underdog. The road team has covered 4 of the last 5 games between the Cowboys and the Bulldogs. Finally, Wyoming is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Friday. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wolves -5.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-110 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 19 m | Show |
Minnesota has won five straight and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They are playing the best they have so far this season. Charlotte is just not a good team right now and will likely be missing a couple top players here. We think this game has blowout potential and the Wolves should win by double digits. Minnesota does well on the road against bad teams (8-2 ATS run) and we expect a dominant performance here. We have stayed away from the Wolves a lot this season because of a slow start but it looks like this team is figuring things out and the Wolves seem like a good Buy Low option right now for bettors. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wisconsin v. USC | 64-59 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #895 Wisconsin over USC (1p.m., Friday, November 25 ESPN2) We will follow the line movement in this game, as USC opened as a slight favorite but now Wisconsin isa pick’em. Both teams went into overtime to lose yesterday, but I like the depth that the Badgers have. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. USC is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-24-22 | Oklahoma v. Nebraska OVER 131 | 69-56 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #795 Over 131 in Oklahoma vs Nebraska (5p.m., Thursday, November ESPN) Over has hit 9 of the last 10 neutral site games with Oklahoma. The over has hit 6 of the last 8 neutral site games with Nebraska. |
|||||||
11-24-22 | Giants +9.5 v. Cowboys | 20-28 | Win | 100 | 49 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #107 New York Giants over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 24 FOX) This is just a lot of points to be laying for a short week divisional game. The Giants have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games. The Cowboys have not performed well in this game in recent years losing 3 straight and two of them have come against bottom feeder teams this century in the Raiders and Commanders. The Giants are coming off a bad loss to the Lions last Sunday and Dallas played their best game of the season pounding Minnesota. Look for both teams to regress to the mean and this divisional matchup will go down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Nuggets v. Thunder OVER 231.5 | Top | 131-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
The Thunder have now gone over in seven straight and the oddsmakers can’t set a total high enough for this team right now. They are pushing the pace at one of the highest rates in the NBA and they just rely on scoring to be competitive more than defense. Denver hasn’t been playing great offensively but they have faced some strong defensive teams. This is a chance for them to open up the offense a bit and we think they have a monster night offensively as they have historically played well here. We are expecting another OKC track meet here as this should be a competitive game with both teams getting their share to put this one well over the posted number. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -115 | 3-1 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Montreal looked awful last night in a blowout loss vs. Buffalo where they allowed three goals in the first three minutes. That shows us this team was unprepared, and now they come in on a back to back, on the road, against a Columbus team that has won three of four. Columbus already beat Montreal here and we don’t really see revenge being a motivator since both teams have played games since. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Dayton v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 42-43 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #742 Wisconsin over Dayton (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 23 ESPN2) Wisconsin had no business winning the Maui Invitational last season in Las Vegas and they are underrated again in this tournament. Dayton already has a loss to UNLV and I just do not trust Anthony Grant to win big games. The Badgers are well rested, and they have won all 3 games this season by double-digits. Expect this to be a low scoring game where Wisconsin grinds out a victory, something they did most of last season. |
|||||||
11-22-22 | San Diego State v. Arizona -1.5 | 70-87 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #660 Arizona over San Diego State (10:30p.m., Tuesday, November 22 ESPN) These two teams have met a lot during the last decade despite not playing in the same conference. Just do not trust San Diego State to win big games, as they have a history of underachieving in the NCAA Tournament. Arizona scored over 100 points last night and I just do not believe San Diego State will be able to keep pace with them. |
|||||||
11-22-22 | Southern Miss +1.5 v. Winthrop | 77-52 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #651 Southern Miss over Winthrop (3p.m., Tuesday, November 22) The Eagles do not have any quality wins on the season, and I do not see that changes after Tuesday afternoon. Southern Miss has been on a strong ATS run of late covering the spread in 6 of their last 7 games. Winthrop is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Senators v. Sharks -110 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
This is a battle of 6-win teams, but the Sharks have been playing a lot better recently, although that play hasn’t exactly translated into wins, but this looks like a great spot to get a home win tonight. The Sharks got off to a slow start after a strange two-game opener in Europe, mixing in new players and travelling overseas, and that affected them at the start of the season. But lately their offense has been efficient and they have been getting solid goaltending. They have a lot of one-goal losses to good teams lately and recently had three shootout losses in a row. But they have won three of five and played the Rangers tough on Saturday and were in it until the end. They have been playing much better than the Sens lately and we think the current form will finally pay off in the form of a big win tonight. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Hawks v. Cavs -2 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
After a 5-game skid, the Cavs are swinging back in the other direction and have now won two straight. This team has been streaky lately but this looks like an excellent spot for them to continue their win streak against a Hawks team that plays better at home. The Hawks have dropped three of four ATS, and they got throttled by Boston on their recent homestand. The Cavs normally step up big at home in these marquee game type situations. Atlanta hasn’t had much luck here in Cleveland as they have covered in only one of their last six meetings. We see that trend continuing here on Monday. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Nevada v. Tulane -3 | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #776 Tulane over Nevada (5p.m., Monday, November 21 Flo Sports Streaming) Both teams have played cupcakes thus far in 2022 and thus we will side with the favorite in this game. The Green Wave return a ton of experience and should be able to make some noise in year 3 under Ron Hunter. Nevada remade their team, likely for the better but Steve Alford is in a major rebuilding project, and I am not sure if he can turn it around. Tulane is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Pistons v. Kings -9.5 | 129-137 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
The Kings are the top ATS team in the league at 11-3 ATS. With all the big stories in the NBA this season, this team is flying under the radar. The Pistons are coming off a string of big games against big-name teams, and this matchup won’t move the needle for them as much as recent games against the Clippers, Lakers and Celtics. Sacramento is the No. 1 offense in the NBA and averaging more than 12 PPG more than the Pistons. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Panthers v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
These teams are a combined 15-5 to the over in their last 20. Florida is the top shot taking team in the NHL and playing against the worst defense in the league, so the Panthers should rack up a bunch of goals here. And by virtue of being the home team, Columbus should keep things competitive here. The OVER is 5-0 in the last five meetings. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Toronto v. Winnipeg OVER 46 | 24-23 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #437 Over 47 in Toronto vs Winnipeg (6:30p.m., Sunday, November 20 ESPN2) Both teams have dynamic offenses and I see at least one team hitting the 30-point mark in this game. That should put us in good shape to collect with the over. In the last 24 meetings between Toronto and Winnipeg, the game has gone over the posted total in 18 of those games. Winnipeg has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games following a win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Bengals -4 v. Steelers | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 100 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #473 Cincinnati Bengals over Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 20 CBS) This game was flexed out because of the Steelers. The Bengals have revenge on their minds after blowing their first meetings against the Steelers in embarrassing fashion. Just feel the Bengals are much better on offense and the Steelers will struggle to keep up with them on the scoreboard. Cincinnati is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. Just do not believe this Pittsburgh team is good enough to beat Cincinnati twice in one season. |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Virginia v. Illinois -1 | 70-61 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #724 Illinois -1 over Virginia (3p.m., Sunday, November 20 ESPN) We will follow the line movement in this game, as the Illinois opened as an underdog but now are favored. Virginia went on a 30-5 run to open the second half and I just do not see them being able to shoot that well again during any point in this game. Baylor dominated the other 30 minutes and Illinois should be ready to play and win this championship. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Utah v. Oregon -3 | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 82 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #394 Oregon Ducks over Utah Utes (10:30p.m., Saturday, November 19 ESPN) Just do not see Oregon losing back-to-back home games in conference play. They got burned by QB Penix last Saturday, but I just do not believe Utah has the same explosive offense that Washington does. Utah has not risen to the occasions on many big games this season, especially when they are playing on the road. Utah is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning home record. Oregon is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Cal-Irvine v. Pepperdine -3.5 | 55-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #642 Pepperdine -3.5 over UC Irvine (8p.m., Saturday, November 19) The Anteaters are 2-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 road games. The Waves are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

11-19-22 | TCU v. Baylor +2.5 | Top | 29-28 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #398 Baylor Bears over TCU Horned Frogs (12p.m., Saturday, November 19 FOX) It end’s tonight! TCU’s magical season comes to an end on Saturday in Waco, TX. The Frogs are coming off an impressive win on Saturday at Texas and now must go on the road again to play Baylor. Back-to-Back road games is always a tough bill to overcome and this will be one of the best defenses they will face in 2022. The underdog is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 games between TCU and Baylor. The Bears are 21-4 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 27 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Kings -1.5 v. Canucks | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
The Canucks have had the upper hand in this series, but the Kings are in stronger form right now. LA has won four of five. Vancouver has lost three of four. We think there is a good chance that the Kings roil in this one, and this moneyline is juicy for the puckline. The Kings are 11-8 on the puckline this season. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Thunder v. Grizzlies OVER 230 | Top | 110-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
OKC’s offense is humming, and they have gone over in five straight games and scored more than 120 in each of those. Actually, they have scored over 130 in three of those (one OT game) and over 140 in a non-OT game. Memphis has a middle of the pack defense, and we don’t see them slowing the Thunder down tonight. And Memphis has an exceptional offense as well that can work without key players as they will again be without Bane tonight, but this team has shown in the past that they can perform at a high level with top players out. And we are confident that Memphis will be more than happy to run with OKC tonight. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings. The last meeting saw 240+ points scored, and we think we will see the same type of game tonight. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Baylor -4.5 v. Virginia | 79-86 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #883 Baylor over Virginia (7p.m., Friday, November 18 ESPN2) Always like to play Baylor earlier in the season, as the Bears seem to start the season off with a long winning streak most years in nonconference play. This is a tough ask for Virginia, as they must fly across the country after the tragedy that occurred with their football team. They lost a game this week and they will be forced to make shots from the arc against this strong Baylor defense. Virginia is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played on Fridays. Baylor is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Red Wings v. Sharks -116 | Top | 7-4 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
These teams have been going in opposite directions. San Jose has won three straight after a slow start to the season. Detroit has lost four straight after a strong start to the season. But San Jose has been playing well for awhile. They had one bad game against the Blues that was closer than the final score indicated, and before that they lost three straight by shootout. They have scored at least four goals in four of seven games. Their offense has been a lot better, and this team is flying under the radar right now, hence the low number at home here. The Red Wings have won only once here in the last five visits, and we think there is lots of value here tonight. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Spurs v. Kings -7 | Top | 112-130 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
Sacramento is 10-3 ATS on the season and playing their best basketball of the season at the moment. This is starting to look an awful lot like a playoff team. They have won four straight: Golden State, Cleveland and Brooklyn were included in that bunch. They are coming off a 30+ point win over the Nets. They have the No. 2 offense in the NBA this season and are facing the league’s worst defense. We just think the Kings will be able to outscore the Spurs tonight. They have put up 120 or more in four straight and 153 against the Nets. They have also covered in 9 of 13 meetings and 4 of 5 in Sacramento. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Titans v. Packers -3 | 27-17 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #312 Green Bay Packers over Tennessee Titans (8:15p.m., Thursday, November 16 Amazon Prime) The Packers got a much-needed win last time out and now get to face a team decimated by injuries. Throw in the fact that this is a short week road game for Tennessee and expect Green Bay to win this game by close to double digits. The Packers have been running the football tremendous of late and if that continues, QB Rodgers will pick is spots with the deep ball. Tennessee is 8-21 ATS (1 push) in their last 30 road games against teams with a losing home record. Green Bay is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Rockets +8.5 v. Mavs | 101-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
The Mavs played a grudge match last night against the rival Clippers, who they have meet in the playoff quite a bit. That was no doubt a big game for them. Now they enter this one on a B2B and face a Texas rival. When two Texas teams play, we always try and look for a reason to take the underdog as they normally don’t want to get rolled over on. And this seems like a letdown spot for Dallas here after that big game last night. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Western Michigan +12 v. Central Michigan | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 33 h 11 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #307 Western Michigan Broncos +11 over Central Michigan Chippewas (8p.m., Wednesday, November 16 ESPNU) I refused to believe that Central Michigan can blowout Western Michigan with a freshman quarterback that struggles to throw the football. The Broncos need to stop his running ability and if they do that, they should be able to take this game down to the wire. The visitor has dominated this series winning 7 of the 9 last games and is a perfect 9-0 ATS. Look for the Broncos to keep the scoring low and that makes this a strong play with the double-digit underdog. Western Michigan is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Wednesdays. Central Michigan is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record. This is a rivalry game and should be competitive. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-16-22 | Iowa +1.5 v. Seton Hall | 83-67 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #685 Iowa over Seton Hall (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 16 FS!) We have seen the better team win a lot of these early season games despite being on the road. Tonight, this game should be no different, as Iowa always seems to start well early in the season. Seton Hall has a new coach and system. If Iowa can handle the pressure, they should win this game by close to double digits. Iowa is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. Seton Hall is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Sabres v. Senators -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 160 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Both teams have been really struggling, but this looks like a great spot to get back on track. Buffalo played a really tough game last night vs. Vancouver, so they come in on a back-to-back. Buffalo just finished a four-game homestand where they gave up 19 goals, so we don’t think Ottawa will have a problem covering the puckline. During their current six-game slide, last night was the only game that Buffalo didn’t lose by multiple goals. |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Memphis v. St. Louis -2.5 | 84-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Saint Louis -2.5 over Memphis (9p.m., Tuesday, November 15 CBSSN) Really like this Billikens team and expect them to make the NCAA Tournament come March. They continue to play well at home and should win this game by close to double-digits. Memphis has talent but I just do not think they blend well under Penny Hardaway. Saint Louis is 25-12 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 39 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -3.5 | 102-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
This Pelicans team has been inconsistent but they have played a road-heavy schedule this season so far and we think they will excel here at home against the Grizzlies. We think New Orleans has a higher ceiling this season. And the Grizzlies have been overrated on the road, where they have failed to cover in five straight games. |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Capitals v. Panthers OVER 6 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
The Florida offense is No. 1 for shots taken but ranks in the middle of the pack in scoring. Pretty soon more of those shots will translate to goals, and this Capitals defense is vulnerable. We think the home team can possibly put up a big number here. The over is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings. |
|||||||
11-14-22 | DePaul -1.5 v. Minnesota | 69-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #855 DePaul -1.5 over Minnesota (7p.m., Monday, November 14 BTN) Minnesota should be better in year two under Ben Johnson, but he is in a another complete rebuild. They have one good player in Dawson Garcia, but they will struggle to win games easily in the season with a bunch of young freshmen. DePaul has a bunch of scorers on their roster and should be able to put up close to 80 points in this game. We will follow the line movement in this game and back the road team. The Blue Demons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Golden Gophers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-13-22 | Cowboys -5 v. Packers | 28-31 | Loss | -110 | 121 h 54 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #261 Dallas Cowboys over Green Bay Packers (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 13 FOX) The Packers are in freefall at the moment having lost 5 straight games. 4 of those losses came against so-so teams and now they must face a real team with a strong defense. Green Bay has a ton of injuries and I just do not see many playmakers for Aaron Rodgers to use in this game. Cowboy Coach Mike McCarthy will get his revenge in this game because he has the much better and much healthier team. Dallas is 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games. Green Bay is 1-5 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Browns +3.5 v. Dolphins | 17-39 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #251 Cleveland Browns +3.5 over Miami Dolphins (1 p.m., Sunday, November 13 CBS) We will grab the points in this game and feel Cleveland has a good chance to win this game straight-up. Miami does not have much of a home field advantage, and Cleveland has a lot of playmakers outside of the quarterback. The Browns are well rested and played their best game of the season last time out against the Bengals. Cleveland beat Miami the last time these two teams met by 17 points. Cleveland needs this game, and I think they will be able to take it down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Grand Canyon v. Nevada -1.5 | 46-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #752 Nevada over Grand Canyon (4p.m., Saturday, November 12 Nevada Sports Net) Nevada will me a much improved team in 2022-2023, picking up a couple of key transfers. The Wolf Pack have covered the spread in 5 straight games and are 59-27 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 88 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-12-22 | Wisconsin -1 v. Iowa | 10-24 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #209 Wisconsin Badgers over Iowa Hawkeyes (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 12 FS1) Both teams are coming off impressive wins, but I will take Wisconsin in this game. The Badgers are the better offensive team and I just do not believe the Hawkeye’s will be able to take advantage of Wisconsin’s defense. Iowa has been terrible on offense for most of the season and I do not see things getting better on Saturday. Wisconsin has beaten Iowa 5 of the last 6 games. The Badgers have gotten life under new coach Jim Leonard and look for him to get the job come December. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | LSU v. Arkansas +4 | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #212 Arkansas Razorbacks +3.5 over LSU Tigers (12 p.m., Saturday, November 12 ESPN) This is a tough turnaround for LSU, and the Tigers never seem to perform well in 11 a.m. starts. They got killed by Tennessee in this situation, and look for Arkansas to beat them as well. The Razorbacks are coming off a bad loss against Liberty but before that dominated two decent opponents in BYU and Auburn. LSU is coming of a win against Alabama, and I just see them letting down in this game. The Razorbacks have dominated the Bayou Bengals ATS wise in recent years, going 10-4 ATS (1 push) in the last 15 games and 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Arkansas. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Cavs +2 v. Warriors | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
Cleveland is the better team right now and they have had one of the best starts to the season of any team. They enter, however, having lost two straight. Those were both close games, and the Cavs didn’t embarrass themselves. But they will be amped to get back on the winning track against the defending champs. Not only is Golden State playing mediocre basketball and bad defense, but they are getting their opponents’ best shot every night. Everyone wants to take down the champs, and we are sure Cleveland will bring their A Game here. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Sharks v. Stars OVER 6.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 22 h 11 m | Show | |
This series has a strong history for the over, with 15 of 21 meetings in Dallas going over the posted number. San Jose started off very slowly on the offensive end. A season-opening series in Europe didn’t help matters and threw them off their routine. But the offense has really come together recently. The over is 7-0-1 in their last eight games. Dallas has been trending to the over as well and has a Top 5 offense so far. With the Sharks on a B2B, we expect a lot of goals from the home team here. |

11-11-22 | Stanford v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 50-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #678 Wisconsin over Stanford (7:30p.m., Friday, November 11 FS1) Jerod Haase just cannot seem to put together a solid NCAA Tournament team at Stanford. He recruits well but those high recruits just don’t seem to live up to their billing. This game is at American Family Field and it will be a strong crowd for Wisconsin, a state that loves events like this. Wisconsin has looked good in their exhibition games and scrimmages against teams that are better than Stanford. They have three solid players and if they make shots from the arc they will win this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Stanford is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight-up win in their previous game. |

11-10-22 | Sharks +140 v. Blues | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
St. Louis has lost eight straight, and all by multiple goals. San Jose is playing much better but their record doesn’t really show this as they have lost three straight in a shootout. Their offense is playing a lot better recently, and they have scored at least three goals in their last five games. We think this is a great spot for them to get back in the win column, and at a very nice price. |

11-10-22 | North Dakota State v. Kansas OVER 145 | 59-82 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #609 Over 145.5 in North Dakota State @ Kansas (8p.m., Thursday, November 10 ESPN+) North Dakota State has gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 16 games played on Thursday. Kansas has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games following a victory of more than 20 points in their previous game. Look for Norm Roberts to want to score a bunch of points to make his attractive for another head coaching position. |

11-10-22 | Texas Southern v. Texas Tech UNDER 138 | 54-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #306664 Under 138 in Texas Southern @ Texas Tech (8p.m., Thursday, November 10 ESPN+) The Tigers have gone under the posted total in 6 of their last 8 road games against teams with a winning home record. The Red Raiders have gone under the posted total in 4 of their last 5 home games. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

11-10-22 | 76ers v. Hawks | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
The Hawks are normally very good at home and are coming off a loss to the Jazz here, and we don’t see them losing two straight at home. They have covered 10 of 14 against Philly in Atlanta, and we expect that trend to continue here on Thursday. Take the Hawks with confidence on Thursday. |

11-09-22 | Bucks -5 v. Thunder | Top | 136-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
The Bucks suffered their first loss of the season last time out at Atlanta. It was a blowout and an embarrassing loss. But this is a great bounce back spot for what has been the best team in the NBA. After a hot start, OKC has come back to earth a bit and has lost three straight SU and ATS. They are pretty much a one-man team with SGA leading the way, but the Bucks have the defensive pieces to slow him down. Both meetings last year were blowouts, and we expect more of the same here. |

11-09-22 | UMKC v. LSU -22.5 | 63-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #772 LSU over UMKC (8p.m., Wednesday, November 9 ESPN+) LSU gets underway on Wednesday with a new coach but they still have talent. This play is more about going against UMKC, as they are coming off a loss at home to a division two team. LSU is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Canucks v. Canadiens +144 | 2-5 | Win | 144 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Both teams come in on a back-to-back, but the home team always has a big advantage. Montreal has had a tough schedule lately which has been road heavy. But this team has been solid at home and we think this is a great spot for them to get back on track. Vancouver is 2-3-2 on the road this season. After getting a road win last night, and how poorly they have played on the road in general, we think the plus-money odds for Montreal are a steal here. Montreal has won 12 of 16 meetings here at home. |

11-09-22 | Buffalo +1.5 v. Central Michigan | 27-31 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #109 Buffalo Bulls +1 over Central Michigan Chippewas (7p.m., Wednesday, November 9 ESPN2) Buffalo laid an egg last week against Ohio but they still in position to win the MAC East, but must win this game to stay in the race. The Bulls have won two straight games against the Chippewas (2-0 ATS) including a 23 point victory the last time these two teams met. Central Michigan is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 home games. |

11-08-22 | Coyotes v. Sabres -1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
Buffalo has the No. 1 offense in the NHL thus far with 4.1 goals per game. Arizona has one of the worst defenses in the NHL, allowing 4.1 goals per game. We see Buffalo scoring a lot tonight and don’t think they will have any problem covering the puckline. Buffalo has had a strong start to the season. They have, however, lost two straight entering this one, but those were to two top teams and on the road. Last time we saw the Sabres at home, they had won three straight, two by multiple goals against teams much better than the Coyotes, while scoring 18 goals in the process. The Coyotes are coming off a big win at Washington, so they are Fat and Happy right now. We expect the Sabres at home to dominate here. |

11-07-22 | Kings +8 v. Warriors | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Golden State is off to a tough start to the season, and we think this will be a close game. Sacramento is 3-1 ATS on the road this season, where they normally get generous odds from the bookies. And that certainly looks like the case tonight. Sacramento has won and covered three of four, and they are playing well at the moment. |

11-07-22 | Fairfield v. Wake Forest -12.5 | 59-71 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #668 Wake Forest over Fairfield (8p.m., Monday, November 7 ESPN+) I look for even more improvement for Wake Forest in year three under Steve Forbes. Wake Forest was impressive last season going 25-10 and 13-7 in ACC play. They were under the radar and look for them to win this game by close to 20 points. The Stats got off to a hot start last season but struggled during MAAC play. I look for that to carryover into tonight’s game. |
|||||||
11-07-22 | Blues v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
Boston has simply been the best team in the NHL up to this point, with a 10-2 record. They show no signs of slowing down. They suffered one of those losses last time out, so this team will put their best foot forward to get back on the winning track. That loss came against the Maple Leafs, a team well higher in the rankings than St. Louis. The blues are 3-6 and one of the biggest disappointments in the NHL this season. They have lost every game of their current six-game slide by multiple goals. This game looks bad for them also. Boston is 9-3 on the puckline this season. The Blues are 2-7. We think this one is blowout city tonight. |
|||||||
11-06-22 | Jazz v. Clippers -3 | 110-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
To say the Clippers got off to a slow start was an understatement. This team looked like one of the worst in the NBA and Kawhi Leonard has been sidelines again. But this team has won three straight and they are starting to play well together. Utah has been playing incredible basketball to start the season, but we don’t see this is a playoff team. The Clippers have some of the best depth in the NBA this season and we think they will take this game very seriously because of the slow start. |

11-06-22 | Panthers v. Ducks OVER 6.5 | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
Florida scored us an easy big play winner Saturday with the over and we are going right back to the well. This team is No. 1 in the NHL for shots taken. They haven’t been able to convert that into the No. 1 offense, but they have been scoring better. Both teams are on a B2B after grueling games on Saturday late, and we don’t see either using the energy required for top-flight defense. |
