12-19-20 | Clemson v. Notre Dame +10.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -109 | 94 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #236 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Clemson Tigers (4p.m., Saturday, December 19 ABC) For the first time in years, Notre Dame has the athletes to make this game competitive against the top teams from the south. The Irish already beat the Tigers this year and I just do not believe this will be a blowout with Trevor Lawrence back behind center. Notre Dame can win the ACC for the first and likely only time in their history and they will not pass up this opportunity. The Clemson defense is still the same as it was in the first meeting where Notre Dame put up 47 points in that game. Both teams will put up points in this game, but I see the result being in single digits. The Irish are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. |

12-19-20 | Minnesota +12.5 v. Wisconsin | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #211 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Wisconsin Badgers (4p.m., Saturday, December 19 BTN) Wisconsin has a terrible offense and should not be giving this many points against anyone in the Big 10. They have a quarterback that lacks confidence, and they are playing a team that has won 3 of their last 4 games. Wisconsin may get some playmakers back for this game, but I just cannot overlook the fact that they have scored 20 combined points in their last 3 days. |
|||||||
12-19-20 | North Carolina -2.5 v. Kentucky | 75-63 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3 over Kentucky (2p.m., Saturday, December 19 CBS) If North Carolina can have any success in this game from the arc, they will win this game by double digits. Kentucky is a mess at the moment and will likely not make the NCAA Tournament come March. North Carolina is 5-2 ATS (1 push) int their last 8 games as a favorite. The favorite in this matchup has covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 matchups (1 push). |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Louisville v. Wisconsin -6 | 48-85 | Win | 100 | 1 h 47 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin -6.5 over Louisville (12p.m., Saturday, December 19 ESPN2) This is a late add game after Louisville could not play this game during the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The Cardinals have been off since 12/1 and they have just played home game. They lost a ton of talent from last year and Wisconsin has everyone back. The Badgers are 7-0 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Weber State v. Portland State OVER 146 | 94-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 Over in Weber State @ Portland State (10:05p.m., Friday, December 18) The Vikings have been an over team of late and expect that to continue on Friday night with Big Sky playing getting underway. The Vikings have gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 10 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Oregon v. USC -3 | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -106 | 74 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #252 USC Trojans over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Friday, December 18 FOX) Oregon was a late add to this game after Washington did not have enough healthy players. The Trojans have a major edge getting to play this game at their home stadium and I just do not trust Oregon enough to keep this close. Both teams have played down to the level of their competition, but USC tends to pull away late, whereas Oregon often loses close games. Losing to Cal and Oregon State is embarrassing for the Ducks and now they must face a team with better talent and experience than what they have. Oregon is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. USC is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between Oregon and USC. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Chicago State +18 v. Northern Illinois | 54-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #833 Chicago State over Northern Illinois (7p.m., Friday, December 18) Both these teams are terrible, and the total is just in the mid-130s and thus we will grab the points and Cougars are hang on to only lose by 17 points or less. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Tennessee Tech v. Tennessee -28.5 | 49-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #838 Tennessee over Tennessee Tech (7p.m., Friday, December 18 SEC+) This will be a blowout, name your score type of game for the Volunteers. The Golden Eagles are 0-7 on the season and this is a buy game where they will collect a check and get blown out by 30+ points. Tennessee has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Richmond OVER 140 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #856 Over in Richmond @ Loyola (6p.m., Friday, December 18 ESPN+) Both teams trends all favor the over and now we have value with the total dropping 4 points from the overnight line. Richmond has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 11 games. Loyola has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-17-20 | Kansas v. Texas Tech -3 | 58-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #365 Kansas City Chiefs over New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 19 CBS) The Saints are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia last week and now will likely not earn the top seed in the NFC (only 1 team gets a bye this year). The Chiefs have been winning games but not covering the spread of late, but now they have a low number where they likely just need to win the game. QB Brees have been eyeing this date to return, but I do not think it will matter. Kansas City is an offensive machine, and New Orleans will have to score in the high twenties to have a chance to cover this spread. Kansas City is 11-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 road games against teams with a winning home record. New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-16-20 | Memphis v. Tulane +10 | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #674 Tulane over Memphis (9p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ESPN2) Memphis is overrated again this season and the Penny Hardaway experiment does not seem to be an improvement over Tubby Smith. Tulane has not played anyone this year, but they are 4-0 and I believe they can keep this game in single digits. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Tulane is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-16-20 | Ohio State v. Purdue -4.5 | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #670 Purdue over Ohio State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 16 BTN) On paper this line is begging you to take Ohio State, but an unranked favorite over a ranked team is always a recipe for success in college basketball gambling. Throw in the fact that Ohio State will be without E.J. Liddell and Seth Towns and expect Purdue to win this game by double digits. The Boilers are just a different team at home and tonight will be no different. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Purdue is 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games played on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-16-20 | Pittsburgh -2 v. Miami-FL | 70-55 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #663 Pittsburgh over Miami (6p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ACCN) The Hurricanes are banged up with a ton of injuries and they cannot shoot the ball at all from the arc. They are 4 for 36 from the three-point line over their last two games. The Panthers have a nice win at Northwestern and will win this game as well. The Hurricanes are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games played on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-15-20 | Furman v. Alabama OVER 154 | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Over in Furman @ Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, December 15 SECN) The Paladins have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games as a road underdog. The Crimson Tide have gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 16 home games. |
|||||||
12-15-20 | Florida A&M +13 v. Austin Peay | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #307073 Florida A&M over Austin Peary (8:30p.m., Tuesday, December 15) The Rattlers are 0-4 on the season but they have a bunch of ATS trends that work in their favor tonight. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. Austin Peay has not covered the spread much of late going 3-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. |
|||||||
12-15-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 63-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Loyola (8p.m., Tuesday, December 15 BTN) The Ramblers have not played anyone this season, and this is a late add game after the original games got cancelled. The Ramblers have nowhere near the talent they had when they reached the final four a couple of years ago. Wisconsin has experience and they will pull at some point in this game and win it by double-digits. Loyola is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-13-20 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Western Michigan -2.5 | 71-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #772 Western Michigan -3 over Milwaukee (2p.m., Sunday, December 13) We went against Broncos on Saturday but will take them on Sunday playing a worse Horizon League team. Milwaukee has played just one game in 2020-2021 and that was a loss to Kansas State, a terrible team that lost to a division two team earlier this season. Western Michigan played Detroit even for 35 minutes until falling apart down the stretch. Expect them to control this game from the start and earn a 7-9 point victory. The Panthers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played on Sunday. WMU is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-13-20 | Cardinals v. Giants +2.5 | Top | 26-7 | Loss | -100 | 116 h 47 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #158 New York Giants over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, December 13 CBS) Just believe these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Arizona is a fluke play away from losing 5 straight games and they may need to win 3 of their last 4 to make the playoffs. The Giants have won 4 straight and have control of the NFC East since they own the tiebreaker with Washington. They are coming off their best performance of the year beating Seattle in the Emerald City last time out. It goes not matter who the Giants start at quarterback, they are going to win this game. Arizona has been easy to run on of late and Wayne Gallman should put up big numbers. Arizona is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. The Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Virginia +2 v. Virginia Tech | 15-33 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #421 Virginia Cavaliers over Virginia Tech Hokies (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCN) Virginia beat Virginia Tech last season for the first time in 16 years and look for them to make it 2 in a row on Saturday night. Both teams play a lot of people at quarterback, but the Hokies are coming off a blood bath against Clemson last week and I do not feel they will be ready to bounce back in just one week. Virginia Tech enters this game having lost 4 straight games and they have been blown out in their last two (lost 47-14 to Pittsburgh). Justin Fuente is on the hot seat and he may not survive if things do not go well on Saturday. Virginia will enter this game having won 4 straight games. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Alabama -1.5 v. Clemson | 56-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Alabama over Clemson (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCNX) Coach Oats put a bullseye on his head and it will be interesting to see if he can back it up. Clemson is coming off their best performance of the year, dominating Maryland from start to finish but this will be the most talented team that they will face thus far in 2020. Alabama has bounced back from a loss to Stanford with two blowout victories and tonight will be no different as well. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +1.5 | 7-28 | Win | 100 | 94 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #386 Iowa Hawkeyes over Wisconsin Badgers (3:30p.m., Saturday, December 12 FS1) The Badgers lack confidence on the offensive side of the football, and they have been exposed for their lack of playmakers. Iowa has a chance to end this 4-game losing streak to Wisconsin by getting them at home this season. Iowa has won 5 straight games and only one of those wins came by less than double-digits. They have a better defense than does Indiana and expect them to crowd the line and force Wisconsin to beat them over the top with deep throws. Wisconsin is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Iowa is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Syracuse -2.5 v. Boston College | 101-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #665 Syracuse over Boston College (1p.m., Saturday, December 12 ESPNU) The Orange need to start winning as once again their schedule is light on quality wins as conference play gets underway. They get Buddy Boeheim back for this game and that gives them a shooter that will be able to space out the floor. Boston College played well against Minnesota this week and lost in overtime but I believe that will take a lot out of them for this game. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Wake Forest +2.5 v. Louisville | 21-45 | Loss | -110 | 91 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #113 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Louisville Cardinals (12p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCN) Just do not like this Louisville team in 2020. They appear to have taken a step back in year two under Scott Satterfield. They are 3-7 this season and do not have any quality wins among those three. Wake Forest does not have a bad loss this season and they also have some quality wins against Virginia Tech and Virginia. Both of those teams are better than what they will see today from Louisville. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Wake Forest and Louisville. But this game just comes down to Wake Forest having an identity on offense (up-tempo) and Louisville will not be able to keep up in scoring. The Demon Deacons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the Cardinals. |
|||||||
12-11-20 | Nevada +2.5 v. San Jose State | 20-30 | Loss | -105 | 77 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #309 Nevada Wolf Pack over San Jose State Spartans (10p.m., Friday, December 11 CBSSN) Just cannot picture San Jose State playing in the MWC Championship Game next week. They have a much-improved team in 2020 but I feel having to vacate the Bay Area will finally catch up with them in this likely winner take all game. The Spartans were expected to host their last two games, but they had to travel to Hawaii last week and now will play this game at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Nevada has already played a game here in 2020 and they only had to leave the state of Nevada one time this season. Nevada is 15-2 straight-up and 12-5 ATS against San Jose State in the last 17 meetings. Both teams have stud quarterbacks, but the difference could lie with Nevada’s defense. |
|||||||
12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA -4 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #638 UCLA -4.5 over Marquette (9:30p.m., Friday, December 11 PAC12N) UCLA has bounced back after losing to San Diego State in their opener to win 4 straight games, all of them by at least 9 points. They face a Marquette team that will be playing their first true road game of the season and this is a very young team. UCLA is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-10-20 | Patriots +4.5 v. Rams | 3-24 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #101 New England Patriots over Los Angeles Rams (8:20p.m., Thursday, December 10 Amazon Prime) Look for the Patriots to play a competitive game in Los Angeles after pounding the Chargers on Sunday. The Patriots have beaten the Rams 6 straight times (5-1 ATS) and I see them taking this game down to the wire. New England is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Thursday. Los Angeles is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
12-09-20 | Georgia Tech v. Nebraska OVER 147 | 75-64 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in Georgia Tech @ Nebraska (7:15p.m., Wednesday, December 9 ESPN2) Both teams will be ready to go up and down tonight after playing teams that like to slow down the pace in recent games. The Yellow Jackets have gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 road games. Nebraska has gone over the posted total in 16 of their last 23 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-08-20 | North Carolina v. Iowa -2.5 | Top | 80-93 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #818 Iowa over North Carolina (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN) Nonconference Game of the Year Just believe Iowa is the more experienced and better shooting team in this game. This follows the pattern of success that we have had in recent years in this game, fading a team that played in a Holiday tournament last week compared to a team that is resting at home. Granted, North Carolina got to play in Ashville, but a few things happened last week in their second-place finish. One is Garrison Brooks got hurt and he has not been cleared to practice as of late Monday. Second, the refs will not bail them out in the semifinals like they did last week. These will not be ACC centric refs tonight, as this is a true home game for the Hawkeyes. Not going to talk much about Iowa’s game thus far, as they have all been blowout wins against cupcake opponents. But a couple of keys to follow, one is the 3-point line. North Carolina again, does not have a good shooting team from the arc, averaging under 30% and that will not get it done tonight. North Carolina will have to pound the glass to win this game and Iowa just has too much experience for that to happen. Finally, Fran McCaffery teams usually follow a pattern of starting the season hot before failing toward the end of conference season and make a quick out in the NCAA Tournament. That is okay for us tonight and expect them to remain undefeated. Iowa is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Purdue v. Miami-FL +1.5 | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #792 Miami over Purdue (5p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN2) Just not a fan of this Purdue squad this season. They struggled last year when not playing in West Lafayette and do not see things getting any better in 2020-2021. They are 3-1 but they only tough game this season they lost to Clemson by double-digits. They lost big man Matt Harms to BYU and I just do not believe they will be able to take advantage of Miami’s lack of size in this game. Miami had some covid issues earlier this season, but they are pretty healthy for this game and have more talent on the floor even if Chris Lykes does not go. They should be able to dominate this game at the guard position and they are being undervalued because they have played two cupcakes to open the season. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 road games. Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Everyone loves Matt Painter as a coach, but he tends to go into two-year funks, and this does not appear to be an NCAA Tournament team again this year. Miami wins this game. |
|||||||
12-07-20 | Bills -2.5 v. 49ers | Top | 34-24 | Win | 100 | 147 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #477 Buffalo Bills over San Francisco 49ers (8:15p.m., Monday, December 7 ESPN) Buffalo has already won in Arizona this season and now they get a huge advantage with the 49ers having to play on the road as well. Just not sold on the 49ers, especially on offense. QB Mullins has limitations and if Buffalo does not turn over the football, the 49ers will struggle to score points. Buffalo has gone 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against NFC teams. They have already beaten the Rams and Seahawks, and had the Cardinals beat before giving up a Hail Mary pass with just seconds remaining. They will make it 3 of 4 on Monday night against the NFC West with a double-digit victory. |
|||||||
12-07-20 | Chattanooga v. Middle Tennessee -1.5 | 80-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #770 Middle Tennessee -2 over Chattanooga (7p.m., Monday, December 7) The Blue Raiders played their best game of the season last time out dominating Murray State and expect more of the same tonight at home. MTSU is 23-9 ATS in their last 221 home games against teams with a winning road record. A 1-2 teams favored against an 0-3 team tells us something about the talent on each side. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. Our 8-unit NCAA Nonconference Game of the Year is set to go tomorrow and will be posted at 11:30 a.m. eastern. |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Eagles v. Packers -9 | 16-30 | Win | 100 | 120 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Green Bay Packers over Philadelphia Eagles (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 6 FOX) The Eagles had no business being less than a double-digit underdog to the Packers at Lambeau Field. Philadelphia is coming off a 6 point loss to Seattle on Monday Night Football, but at no point in that game did anyone believe they had a chance to win it. Their offense is terrible and sooner or later QB Rodgers will get hot and cruise to a double-digit victory. Philadelphia is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. Green Bay is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against NFC teams. |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Patriots v. Chargers +1 | 45-0 | Loss | -106 | 120 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #474 Los Angeles Chargers over New England Patriots (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 6 CBS) The line tells me that the Chargers have the better talent in this game, but the Patriots have the better coach. QB Newton had another terrible performance last week but got bailed out late by a missed field goal and a questionable late hit out of bounds. The Patriots must play three straight road games and I do not believe that they have the talent to make the playoffs this season. New England is 2-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games played during the month of December. The opening team favored has covered the spread in 4 straight games between New England and Los Angeles. |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Lions v. Bears -3 | 34-30 | Loss | -109 | 116 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #452 Chicago Bears over Detroit Lions (1p.m., Sunday, December 6 FOX) The Lions are a mess and I do not see things getting better under Darrel Bevel as interim coach. Chicago cannot beat the Packers, but they still have a capable defense and already beat the Lions in Detroit earlier this season. Chicago has covered the spread against Detroit in 4 of their last 5 meetings. Detroit has 4 of their last 5 games and all 4 of those losses have come by double-digits. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | UCLA +3.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 25-18 | Win | 100 | 102 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #383 UCLA Bruins over Arizona State Sun Devils (10:30p.m., Saturday, December 5 FS1) Just cannot trust Arizona State laying points in this game. The Sun Devils have been off since November 7 and now have to play a team that is getting better in UCLA. The Bruins are 2-2 and both of their losses went down to the wire and I see them winning this game straight-up. UCLA was a mess last year but dominated ASU leading by over 30 points at one point in that game. The Bruins may also get back Dorian Thompson-Robinson and that will only enhance their chances of winning this game. UCLA is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 games against Arizona State. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | UNLV v. Kansas State -2 | 68-58 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #662 Kansas State -2 over UNLV (8p.m., Saturday, December 5 ESPN+) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They are 0-4 and they have been blown out in 3 of their 4 games they have played this season. This is the end of a long road trip and it is a true road game for them. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Clemson -21.5 v. Virginia Tech | 45-10 | Win | 100 | 99 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #343 Clemson Tigers over Virginia Tech Hokies (7:30p.m., Saturday, December 5 ABC) Virginia Tech has been a fraud all season long and I do not see things getting any better today against one of the two best teams in the country. The Hookies are lost three straight games including getting blown out last time out against Pittsburgh. Clemons is playing to impress the voters and expect them to score a bunch of points in this game as well. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against the Hokies. Clemson is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 ACC games. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Clemson v. Virginia Tech OVER 67 | 45-10 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #344 Over in Clemson Tigers @ Virginia Tech Hokies (7:30p.m., Saturday, December 5 ABC) We have Clemson in this game and if they cover this big spread as expected this game should go over the posted total as well. We easily hit the over with Clemson last week and will look to make it two in a row. Clemson has gone over the posted total in 5 straight games. Virginia Tech has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 11 games. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Florida v. Tennessee +17.5 | 31-19 | Win | 100 | 95 h 44 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #378 Tennessee Volunteers over Florida Gators (3:30p.m., Saturday, December 5 CBS) The talent level does not warrant this big of a number, but Tennessee has lost 5 straight games and has a coach on the hot seat. But if there was ever a game that could get up for it would be this one. The home team has won 4 of the past 5 matchups (4-1 ATS). Florida might be looking ahead as they control their own destiny to make the College Football Playoffs. Tennessee finds a way to keep this around 7-10 points, as Florida has not been that impressive in their last two games. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Ohio State -23 v. Michigan State | 52-12 | Win | 100 | 91 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #355 Ohio State Buckeyes over Michigan State Spartans (12p.m., Saturday, December 5 ABC) Michigan State has pulled off two surprising upsets this year but all three of their losses have come by double digits. Now they are set to face the best team in the league and I do not see them keeping this game close whatsoever. The Buckeyes are beaten Michigan State 4 straight times and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games in East Lansing. Michigan State just do not have the offense to threaten this suspect secondary of Ohio State. Michigan State is 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games. Ohio State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. |

12-04-20 | Wisconsin -4 v. Marquette | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #805 Wisconsin over Marquette (7p.m., Friday December 4 FS1) The Badgers are legit and are better than Marquette at 4 of the 5 positions on the court. I expect this line to go up throughout the day but it will not matter since Wisconsin wins this game by double digits. The Golden Eagles lost to Oklahoma State last time out at home by 8 points in a game that was not as close as that final would reflect. They are in a complete rebuild and have no home court advantage in this game. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Marquette is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog. |

12-04-20 | Toledo -2 v. Eastern Michigan | 91-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #803 Toledo over Eastern Michigan (7p.m., Friday December 4 ESPN3) MAC play gets underway tonight, and we will side with the visitor. EMU is a bottom feeder team in the MAC whereas Toledo is expected to challenge for the top spot in the league. The Rockets have three players averaging at least 15 points per game and Marreon Jackson could challenge for player of the years. EMU is 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games. |

12-03-20 | Arizona State v. California OVER 143 | 70-62 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #774 Over in Arizona State @ Cal (10p.m., Thursday, December 3 P12N) All three of the Sun Devils have gone way over tonight’s posted number and we expect them to dictate the pace of this game since they are the better team. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games. Cal has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-03-20 | VMI v. Virginia Tech OVER 137 | 57-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #758 Over in VMI @ Virginia Tech (8p.m., Thursday, December 3 ACCN) The Keydets have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games played on Thursday. The Hokies have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 11 home games (1 push). We will not worry if the Hokies can cover this big number and instead just collect with the over. |

12-03-20 | Connecticut v. USC +1.5 | 61-58 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #752 USC over Connecticut (7p.m., Thursday, December 3 ESPN) Just feel Connecticut is overhyped again this season. Everyone wants them to return to form but they just do not have the talent yet. USC has been frustrating at times but they have looked really impressive thus far including a 26 point victory against BYU last time out. They have been in Connecticut and will be rested for this game with a day off yesterday. USC is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. 73% of the money is coming in on USC. |
|||||||
12-02-20 | San Francisco v. Nevada -3 | 85-60 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #702 Nevada over USF (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 themwc.com) This is a home and home with these two teams playing in Reno on Wednesday and San Francisco on Sunday. Expect Nevada to pull away in the second half tonight and earn their fourth victory of the season. USF beat Virginia but they lost by 13 points the next day to Rhode Island. The Dons are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight-up loss. The Wolf Pack is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Texas-Arlington +14 v. Arkansas | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #705 Texas Arlington over Arkansas (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 SECN) The Razorbacks are playing a super easy schedule yet again this year and this may be the toughest team they face to date. The Mavericks took Oklahoma State and Louisiana Tech to the wire and I see them keeping this game around 10 points. Arkansas will try and run up the score if they can, I just do not see it happening tonight. Texas Arlington is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-02-20 | South Dakota State v. Iowa State -1 | 71-68 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #682 Iowa State over South Dakota State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 2 ESPN+) This fits a similar situation to our top play yesterday. Iowa State has been at home while South Dakota State played three games in three days last week at a neutral site in South Dakota. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Ravens v. Steelers -10 | 14-19 | Loss | -102 | 25 h 29 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #278 Pittsburgh Steelers over Baltimore Ravens (4:30p.m., Wednesday December 2 NBC) Just do not see the Steelers losing their unbeaten streak to the Ravens at home on Thanksgiving. The Steelers are the best team in the league mainly due to their defense, and I expect the Ravens to struggle moving the football in this game. Baltimore is coming off a devastating loss on Sunday to Tennessee, and I just do not believe they can recover in 4 days. Pittsburgh has covered the spread in 7 of their last 8 games and already beat Baltimore on the road this season. Baltimore is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss in their previous game. Pittsburgh is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-01-20 | UNLV v. Alabama -10.5 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #636 Alabama -10.5 over UNLV (9:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN2) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They have lost by double digits in each of there two games. Alabama got shell shocked by Stanford yesterday, but they are playing a much easier opponent tonight in Ashville. UNLV is still in a major rebuild and it does not appear they will be coming out of it this season. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

12-01-20 | Michigan State v. Duke -2.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #624 Duke -3.5 over Michigan State (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) Michigan State just does not seem to win these types of games early in the season. This is a true home game for Duke, although they will not have the Cameron crazies in attendance. But playing in Durham is still no easy task and expect Duke to take care of business. |
|||||||
12-01-20 | Western Kentucky v. Louisville -3 | 54-75 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #612 Louisville -4 over Western Kentucky (6p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ACCN) WKU is legit this season but the travel will get them in this game. They played three games in South Dakota last week and expect them to have tired legs in this game. Louisville has been feasting on bad teams at home and they return a bunch of talent form last year. WKU has played three games against good competition and that will eventually catch up with you. Getting a key transfer in Carlik Jones will put Louisville over the top in this game. Louisville is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on Tuesday. WKU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on Tuesday. |

12-01-20 | North Carolina -3.5 v. Stanford | 67-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3.5 over Stanford (4p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) The 2020 Maui Invitational was kept alive because of North Carolina and thus it is only fitting that they advance to the finals since this is being played in Ashville. Carolina struggled in their first game against Charleston but pulled away in the second half and have not looked back since. Now they face a former Roy Williams assistant in Jerod Haase, a team that returns 4 starters but lost their best player in Tyrell Terry from last season. North Carolina needs to win this tournament to make sure they get into the NCAA Tournament come March after falling apart last season mainly due to injuries. |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Pacific v. Nevada -5.5 | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #880 Nevada over Pacific (10p.m., Monday, November 30 MWC.com) The Wolf Pack are more tested this season having won a true road game at Nebraska over the weekend. They have had great success against Pacific of late and should be able to take them down at Lawlor Events Center tonight. The favorite has won 7 of the last 10 games between the Tigers and Wolf Pack. Nevada is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +6.5 | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #276 Philadelphia Eagles +5 over Seattle Seahawks (8:15p.m., Monday, November 30 ESPN) Just do not trust the Seahawks defense, especially on the road against a desperate team. QB Wilson has thrown 7 interceptions over his last 5 games and he has fallen out of the MVP race. QB Wentz has been poor as well, but I trust that he will play better at home. The Eagles still sit atop the standings in the NFC East. And if they can win games like this, they will win the division. Just do not believe they Seahawks can beat the Eagles 7 straight times. They have been similar teams over the last decade, and Philadelphia is the more desperate team tonight. |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Auburn v. UCF +1 | 55-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Central Florida over Auburn (7p.m., Monday, November 30 ESPN+) Tough spot for the Tigers in this game having to play a true road game against UCF after getting blown out by Gonzaga on Friday. Auburn has a lame duck year, as they cannot go to the NCAA Tournament because of a pending investigation by the rule’s infraction committee. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. UCF is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Bowling Green -1 v. Appalachian State | 78-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #851 Bowling Green over Appalachian State (6p.m., Monday, November 30) Bowling Green is terrible in football but they are expected to do damage in the MAC this year. The return Justin Turner and expect him to have a big night against App State tonight in North Carolina. Both teams blew out South Carolina State but the Falcons being favored on the road tells me something about who the better team in this game is. The Mountaineers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games. |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Bears v. Packers -7.5 | 25-41 | Win | 100 | 125 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #274 Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears (8:20p.m., Sunday, November 29 NBC) The Bears are a sinking ship now, and this just cannot find a quarterback that can consistently win game. The Packers have won 7 of the last 8 games against the Bears (5-3 ATS) and this is just a complete mismatch at the quarterback position. Both Bears quarterbacks have injuries, and it does not matter who starts for them, the Packers are winning this game by double digits. |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Cardinals v. Patriots +2.5 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 118 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #254 New England Patriots over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, November 29 FOX) This is just a coaching mismatch to the highest degree. The Cardinals have had an easy schedule this season and should have a better record than 6-4 (losses to Carolina, Detroit, & Miami). New England has won 6 of the last 7 games against Arizona and getting them as an underdog is too good to pass up. The Patriots still have a chance to make the playoffs and they have covered the spread in every home game that they have been an underdog in since 2005. Arizona is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. New England is 36-17 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 56 games when they are an underdog. |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Giants v. Bengals OVER 42 | 19-17 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #256 Over in New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals (1p.m., Sunday, November 29 FOX) The total has been adjusted with the Joe Burrow injury but the Bengals have been an over team this year. Prior to last week the Bengals have gone over the posted total for today’s game in 4 straight games. The Giants have gone over the posted total in 4 straight road games when they are favored. The Bengals have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Nevada v. Hawaii OVER 60.5 | 21-24 | Loss | -108 | 104 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #246 Over in Nevada Wolf Pack @ Hawaii Warriors (11p.m., Saturday, November 28 Local) The Warriors kicked it into gear last week against Boise State in the second half to cover the spread and easily go over the posted total. Nevada has played against terrible quarterbacks this season and thus their defense is not as strong as it would appear to be on paper. Hawaii has gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 29 home games when they are an underdog. Both teams want to make a statement and the best way to do that is by scoring a lot of points. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Virginia Tech v. Villanova -9.5 | 81-73 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #746 Villanova -9.5 over Virginia Tech (8p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNU) the Wildcats are battle tested this season having earned two victories by 9 points including beating Arizona State last time out. I do not see Virginia Tech being able to be a consistent winner once Buzz Williams left town and their level of talent continues to dwindle. Villanova has the best players on the court in Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and they should pull away in the second half and win this game by double-digits. Virginia Tech is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Villanova is 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 neutral site games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Kansas State v. Baylor -5 | 31-32 | Loss | -115 | 100 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #234 Baylor Bears over Kansas State Wildcats (7p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPN2) Kansas State has been a fraud of late with a terrible offense that has struggled to score points. They have quarterback issues with Will Howard getting pulled last week in their 45-0 loss to Iowa State. The Wildcats are getting outgained by over 100 yards and if Baylor does not help them, I see them winning this game by double digits. Baylor has been a tough luck loser this year with all 5 losses 11 points or less. Kansas State has not been able to stop teams rushing the football on the road. Baylor has the better quarterback, and they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played during the month of November. Teams have figured out how to stop Kansas State, but the oddsmakers have not caught up to how bad they are on offense yet. |

11-28-20 | South Carolina v. Liberty +8 | 62-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. #742 Liberty +8 over South Carolina (4p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNN) TOP NCAA HOOPS GAME OF THE DAY The Gamecocks are set to make their season debut in 2020 today in Kansas City. Liberty already has two games under their belt, and both came against teams that are better than South Carolina. Just not a believer in Fran Martin being a consistent winner at South Carolina. He had one great year when they made the final four but has not done much in the other years as coach. Liberty is coached by Ritchie McKay and already beat Mississippi State by 11 points this season. South Carolina is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 neutral site games. Liberty is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-27-20 | VCU +7 v. Memphis | 70-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #677 VCU over Memphis (9p.m., Friday, November 27 ESPN2) Just do not believe Memphis should be this big of a favorite in this third-place game. Both teams will be playing their third game in three days and thus I expect a lower scoring hard fought game. |
|||||||
11-27-20 | Hartford v. Connecticut -21.5 | 57-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take 307160 Connecticut over Hartford (8p.m., Friday, November 27 CBSSN) CUCONN continues with their in-state domination tonight against Hartford at Gampel Pavilion. The Huskies are back in the Big East and return 4 starters from last year’s squad. They will make the NCAA Tournament this year and win this game by 30 points. Connecticut is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-27-20 | Stanford v. California -1 | 24-23 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #138 California Golden Bears over Stanford Cardinal (4:30p.m., Friday, November 27 FOX) Cal finally gets a home game and I believe they have too much talent for Stanford in the Big Game. Cal had an edge in yards and first downs last week against Oregon State, but two interceptions did them in. Chase Garbers is too good of a player do play this poorly for many games and he will break out of his funk in this game. Stanford has yet to win a game this year as well and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 6 road PAC-12 games. Cal ended their long losing streak to Stanford last year and expect them to make it two in a row Friday in Berkley. The favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games between Stanford and Cal. The Golden Bears are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games played during the month of November. |
|||||||
11-27-20 | Nebraska v. Iowa -13 | Top | 20-26 | Loss | -113 | 70 h 37 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #148 Iowa Hawkeyes over Nebraska Cornhuskers (1p.m., Friday, November 27 FOX) The Hawkeyes have righted the ship winning 3 straight games in blowout fashion. Nebraska is terrible on both sides of the ball and I do not see things getting any better in this game. They cannot stop the run and they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. Iowa has won 5 straight in this series and winning their games by an average of 30 points is just hard to overlook. Penn State was just as desperate last week against Iowa and they got killed. Nebraska has quarterback issues and whoever gets the start will struggle to move the football against this Iowa defense. Nebraska is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games. Iowa is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-26-20 | Washington Football Team +3 v. Cowboys | Top | 41-16 | Win | 100 | 49 h 14 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #123 Washington Football Team over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 26 FOX) Nobody can handle prosperity in the NFC East and I look for this game to go down to the wire. Dallas had a medical emergency on Tuesday and thus they were not able to practice for a team already on a short week. Washington won the first meeting by 22 points and having a stable quarterback in Alex Smith should allow this team to win some games down the stretch. The underdog is 28-13 ATS in the last 41 meetings between Washington and Dallas. |
|||||||
11-26-20 | Nevada v. Nebraska -3.5 | 69-66 | Loss | -125 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #792 Nebraska -4 over Nevada (2p.m., Thursday, November 26 BTN) Both teams are coming off impressive win yesterday, but I feel Nebraska playing at home will be the difference today. They tried to host a tournament and invite teams they could beat and expect them to win this game by double digits. Fred Hoiberg had a bunch of transfers sit out last season, but they are now eligible to play. Nevada is in a major rebuild as well and I see them struggling to keep up in scoring in this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-25-20 | College of Charleston v. North Carolina OVER 143 | 60-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #636 Over in Charleston @ North Carolina (6p.m., Wednesday, November 25 ACCN) Carolina was happy to put last year behind them and they reloaded with a bunch of incoming talent this year. Roy Williams likes to play up-tempo and I expect them to reach the nineties in scoring tonight at the Dean Dome. North Carolina has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 home games (1 push) when they are the favorite. |
|||||||
11-25-20 | North Dakota State +138 v. Nevada | 48-62 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #733 North Dakota State over Nevada (3p.m., Wednesday, November 25) Both teams lost a ton of talent from last year and thus we will side with the underdog. North Dakota State is always a top team in the Summit League, and they return three key players from last year’s 25 win team. NDSU is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games when they are an underdog. Nevada is 4-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 15 neutral site games when they are a favorite. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-22-20 | Falcons v. Saints OVER 51 | 9-24 | Loss | -109 | 115 h 7 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #454 Over in Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints (1p.m., Sunday, November 22 FOX) No Drew Brees for this game and thus the Jameis Winston era gets underway in New Orleans. Unlike San Francisco last week, the Falcons have a capable quarterback and dynamic offense. Both teams have traditional been over plays because of their offense and expect a lot of points in this game. The Falcons have gone over the posted total in 20 of their last 26 games played on turf. The Saints have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 games. |
|||||||
11-22-20 | Patriots -2 v. Texans | 20-27 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #457 New England Patriots over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, November 22 CBS) The Texans are one of the most disappointing teams in the league in 2020, as they have already fired their coach. JJ Watt wanted out before the trade deadline and now he is just playing out the season making sure he stays healthy. Houston has only beaten New England one time since 2009 and New England will enter having won two straight games and still is alive for playoffs. This line has swing 5 points after the Patriots beat the Ravens Sunday night and we will follow the movement. The Patriots are 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against the Texans. |
|||||||
11-22-20 | Titans v. Ravens -6 | 30-24 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #466 Baltimore Ravens over Tennessee Titans (1p.m., Sunday, November 22 CBS) Everyone is down on both teams, but I will side with the Ravens at home bouncing back. Baltimore has revenge on their minds, as Tennessee knocked them out of the playoffs in 2019. The Titans have lost 3 of their last 4 games including two home games. The Ravens dominated the stats against the Titans in January last year but were done in by turnovers. QB Jackson needs to prove that he has beat the good teams in the league and today is a perfect opportunity for him to do that. Tennessee is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. When Baltimore wins, they usually cover, and they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games against AFC teams. |
|||||||
11-21-20 | San Diego State v. Nevada +2 | 21-26 | Win | 100 | 94 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #388 Nevada Wolf Pack over San Diego State Aztecs (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 21 CBS) As of this writing the wrong teams is favored, as Nevada is going to make the MWC Championship Game and is a perfect 4-0 on the season. Both teams have played easily schedules this far but not being able to play in San Diego will eventually catch up with the Aztecs. They got beat by San Jose State and now have a brutal finish to the season with 3 of their last 4 games on the road (will be lucky to win 1 of them). Nevada has covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 games against SDSU and has the best player on the field in Carson Strong. The Wolf Pack defense has talent as well and I believe that the Aztec offense will struggle to move the football against them. Never been a Brady Hoke fan and feel Rocky Long was the genius of SDSU for the last decade that got them to overachieve on a consistent basis. Nevada is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. SDSU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss in their last home game. |

11-21-20 | Wisconsin -7.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 7-17 | Loss | -103 | 28 h 33 m | Show |
NOTE: THIS IS A FIRST HALF PLAY. 10 Unit Play. Take #395 Wisconsin Badgers (-3.5 First Half Line) over Northwestern Wildcats (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 21 ABC) Big Ten Game of the Year Northwestern is 4-0, but they have started poorly in two of their four games. They would not have covered this number against Iowa or Nebraska, two teams that are inferior to Wisconsin. I expect Wisconsin to jump out early and feel great value lies with the first half line. Wish this line came in under a touchdown for the game, but the Badgers dominated Michigan last week and thus we are left with this higher number. Wisconsin is clearly the second-best team in the league, and the winner of this game will likely reach the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis. The Wildcats have not been as impressive since their 40-point victory over Maryland to open the season, grinding out games against Iowa, Nebraska, and Purdue to reach 4-0. Their defense is good, but they have yet to face a team like Wisconsin that can beat you on the ground or through the air. I just feel that Wisconsin is better on both sides of the football (healthier for this game compared to last) and will pull away in the second quarter to win this game by double-digits. Northwestern can only play at a certain pace. And if they get behind, they will struggle to come back if they are one-dimensional. Wisconsin is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road games. Northwestern is 2-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games. |

11-21-20 | Cincinnati v. Central Florida +6 | 36-33 | Win | 100 | 94 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #344 UCF Golden Knights over Cincinnati Bearcats (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 21 ESPN) We have been riding Cincinnati for most of the year including the last 3 weeks, but I finally believe that the number has been over adjusted. The Bearcats have been doing most of their damage at home and now much finish out the regular season with 3 straight road games. UCF is legit and they will be up for this game trying to knock off the Bearcats and spoil their perfect season. Cincinnati has yet to face an offense as strong as what UCF has. The home team has won 4 of the 5 games between these two teams. UCF has not been a home dog since 2016 and despite missing some key people of defense, I believe they can take this game down to the wire. |
|||||||
11-21-20 | California -3.5 v. Oregon State | 27-31 | Loss | -104 | 94 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #379 California Golden Bears over Oregon State Beavers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 21 FS1) Think the line on this game tells us something. Cal was in an impossible situation last week having to travel to UCLA on short notice for a 9 a.m. local start at the Rose Bowl. Now they have a full week to prepare and not that their opponent will be the Oregon State Beavers, a bottom feeder program in recent years. The visitor is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 Oregon State games. Cal still has the best player on the field in Chase Garbers and his success last year just cannot be overlooked. Last week was the anomaly for the Bears and expect them to bounce back today in Corvallis. |

11-19-20 | Cardinals v. Seahawks -3 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 50 h 24 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #322 Seattle Seahawks over Arizona Cardinals (8:20p.m., Thursday, November 19 Amazon Prime) Everyone is down on the Seahawks after two straight losses but those came against likely playoff teams in Los Angeles and Buffalo. Seattle gave away the first meeting blowing a double-digit lead late in the fourth quarter. Arizona is coming off a huge win when a miraculous finish to beat Buffalo last time out. Everyone is buying Arizona stock now, but I believe there is no carryover week to week in the NFL. Seattle needs this game more and they will get it behind the best player on the field in Russell Wilson. Seattle is 7-1 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 10 games played on Thursday. |

11-18-20 | Western Michigan v. Central Michigan | 52-44 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #313 Western Michigan Broncos over Central Michigan Chippewas (7p.m., Wednesday, October 18 ESPN2) Both teams enter 2-0 straight-up and against the spread. Western Michigan has the best win of the bunch beating Toledo last week in dramatic fashion. Expect that to carryover into this game against CMU. Western Michigan has won 5 of the last 6 matchups and the visitor has covered the spread in this game 8 straight games. QB Kaleb Eleby is the best player on the field throwing 6 touchdowns and 0 interceptions this season. Central Michigan has 6 turnovers in just two games this season and that will not get the job done against good teams. |

11-15-20 | Ravens v. Patriots +7.5 | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 125 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #274 New England Patriots over Baltimore Ravens (8:20p.m., Sunday, November 15 NBC) Just believe that this is too many points for a road game. The Patriots should have lost to the Jets last Monday, but they won as time expired and will be up for this game. QB Jackson has not played at his MVP level of 2019 and expect Coach Belichick to have a game play to contain him. The Ravens are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games. QB Jackson rallied for his first career victory when trailing at half last Sunday but I just do not see a blowout in this game. The underdog is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 meetings. |

11-15-20 | 49ers v. Saints OVER 49.5 | Top | 13-27 | Loss | -111 | 121 h 55 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #272 Over in San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 15 FOX) The Saints finally stayed under the posted total last week against Tampa Bay, but it was not their fault. They scored 38 points in that game and expect him to hit the thirties in points on Sunday as well against the 49ers. These two teams have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 meetings (1 push). The Saints have been an over team this season hitting that mark 7 of their last 8 games. They have gone over the posted total in 7 straight games as a favorite. San Francisco has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 7 games after a loss in their previous game. The 49ers have a ton of injuries but if they do not turn over the football, they should be able to put up some points against the Saints in this game. These two teams met in 2019 (Week 14) and the final score has 48-46 with 981 combined yards. |

11-14-20 | Wisconsin -3.5 v. Michigan | 49-11 | Win | 100 | 100 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #161 Wisconsin Badgers over Michigan Wolverines (7:30p.m., Saturday, November 14 ABC) This line has been all over the place early in the week with Wisconsin appearing that they will be able to field a team for the first time in three weeks. Michigan has their own problems that are much greater than Covid. Coach Harbaugh appears to be on his way out and Michigan is just 1-2 on the season with both losses coming to teams they were favored to beat. Wisconsin beat a much better Michigan team by 21 points last season, and they have covered the spread in 10 of the last 13 meetings. The best player on the field in Graham Mertz and expect big things out of him on Saturday. Michigan is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Wisconsin is 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. |
|||||||
11-14-20 | Oregon -9.5 v. Washington State | Top | 43-29 | Win | 100 | 100 h 30 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #185 Oregon Ducks over Washington State Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, November 14 FOX) The Ducks have a chance to make the College Football Playoff and I just feel they are better on both sides of the ball in this game. Washington State has a new head coach, and they are very inexperienced at the quarterback position. The Cougars have been great against Oregon in recent years, but they no longer have Mike Leech and Anothy Gordon on the sidelines. The Ducks have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 road games when they are the favorite. Oregon put up 35 points last week against a better defensive team in Stanford and they know they need to come out and dominate to break into the top 10 rankings. Wazzou is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a victory in their previous outing. |

11-14-20 | Nevada -17 v. New Mexico | 27-20 | Loss | -109 | 99 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #179 Nevada Wolf Pack over New Mexico Lobos (6:30p.m., Saturday, November 14 FS2) Nevada is legit and they will be in the MWC Title Game next month because of their talent and their schedule. New Mexico is another tomato can that they can just roll over and they receive a break with this game being played in Las Vegas instead of Albuquerque. The Lobos are coming back from Hawaii to practice in Las Vegas and I do not see them keeping this game under 20 points. The Wolf Pack have been getting better teach week and sooner or later their offense will get rolling in this game and they will not be stopped. Nevada has beaten New Mexico in 4 of the last 5 games (4-1 ATS). New Mexico has a terrible defense giving up 541 yards per game. Nevada has covered the spread in 4 straight games. New Mexico is 5-17 ATS in their last 22 MWC games. |

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

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

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

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

11-08-20 | Giants +3.5 v. Washington Football Team | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 117 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take New York Giants over Washington Football Team (1p.m., Sunday, November 8 FOX) Just do not believe that Washington should be favored by this many points against any team in the NFL. New York has won 5 of the last 6 games with Washington and they are 14-3 in their last 17 games when they are an underdog playing on the road. This is the first time in 14 games that Washington is favored to win a game. The Giants should some life last week against Tampa Bay and expect that to carryover into this game as well. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games between the Giants and Football Team. Washington is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a bye week. |

11-07-20 | Tennessee -1.5 v. Arkansas | 13-24 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #403 Tennessee Volunteers over Arkansas Razorbacks (7:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 SECN) Tennessee got a much-needed bye week to regroup after three straight losses and expect them to take care of business on the road against Arkansas Saturday night. After losing to Alabama last year, Tennessee would go on to win six straight games and I see a similar streak happening today. Arkansas is better this year, but I cannot overlook the fact that they are 4-24 straight-up in their last 28 games. Tennessee is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 road games. |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Clemson -5 v. Notre Dame | 40-47 | Loss | -114 | 100 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #401 Clemson Tigers over Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 NBC) Clemson getting D.J. Uiagalelei some game action last week was huge, and I expect him to play even better tonight in South Bend. The Tigers turned it on in the second half against Boston College scoring the last 24 points in that game. Notre Dame is 6-0 this season but it is a little bit of fools gold, as every team that they have played this season has a losing record. Clemson just is on another talent level compared to Notre Dame and even without Trevor Lawrence they will win this game by double digits. Clemson is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 road games when they are favored. |

11-07-20 | Houston v. Cincinnati -13 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #328 Cincinnati Bearcats over Houston Cougars (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 7 ESPN) We used the Bearcats last week as our top play and never looked back as they cruised to a 49-10 victory against Memphis. Now they take a step down in class facing Houston, again at home with fans in the stands. The Bearcats may have the best defense in the country and Houston has not done anything to show me that they can stay with good teams. Their two losses have come by an average of 20 points per game, well over today’s posted number. The Bearcats are 7-3 straight-up and 7-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games against Houston. Still not sold that Dana Holgorsen is this offensive genius that can keep this program as a 10-win team in the AAC. They were 4-8 last year and do not see them being more than a .500 team this year. Lay the points with the best defensive team in the country. |

11-05-20 | Packers v. 49ers +7 | 34-17 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #301 San Francisco 49ers +7 over Green Bay Packers (8:20p.m., Thursday, November 5 NFLN) People cannot get their money in fast enough on the Packers for the game tonight. Both teams have people out (49ers have more) but Rodgers struggles in his home state of California and I do not envision a blowout tonight. San Francisco is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games against the Packers. |

11-04-20 | Ball State v. Miami-OH OVER 55 | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Over 55.5 in Ball State Cardinals @ Miami Oh Redhawks (7p.m., Wednesday, November 4 CBSSN) Ball State has gone over the posted total in 4 straight games and 6 straight games played during the month of November. The Cardinals can score points but cannot stop teams leading to a strong play with the over. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-01-20 | Raiders v. Browns -2.5 | Top | 16-6 | Loss | -110 | 117 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #260 Cleveland Browns over Las Vegas Raiders (1p.m., Sunday, November 1 CBS) Just feel the line is light and we will side with the home team looking for their sixth victory on the season. OBJ is out, but Cleveland still has a ton of weapons and QB Mayfield should be able to pick apart this suspect Raiders defense. Las Vegas has a ton of issues on both sides of the football and Cleveland usually does well when not playing Pittsburgh or Baltimore. The Raiders have allowed 30+ points in 5 of their last 6 games including 12 rushing touchdowns during this span. Cleveland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against Las Vegas. The Raiders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 AFC games. |

10-31-20 | Nevada v. UNLV +14 | 37-19 | Loss | -100 | 101 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #154 UNLV Rebels over Nevada Wolf Pack (10:30p.m., Saturday, October 31 FS1) Just feel this is an overaction from the games last week. Nevada is the better team in this game, but the Rebels will be up for this game. Fans will be allowed in at Allegiant Stadium and UNLV has won this game two straight years (underdog in both games). The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings for the Freemont Cannon. Nevada is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. UNLV is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |

10-31-20 | North Carolina -6.5 v. Virginia | 41-44 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #113 North Carolina Tar Heels over Virginia Cavaliers (8p.m., Saturday, October 31 ACCN) The visitor is 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings and I just believe the Carolina offense is much better. Virginia will not be able to keep pace in this game, as I do not think they are capable of scoring 40+ points in this game. QB Sam Howell got back on track last week putting up 48 points and if he does that again in this game the visitor should easily cover. North Carolina is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. The favorite is also 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between UFC and UVA. |

10-31-20 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville UNDER 67.5 | 42-35 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Under in Virginia Tech Hokies @ Louisville Cardinals (4p.m., Saturday, October 31 ACCN) Just do not see explosive passing games in either of these two teams. Therefore, expect both teams to try and establish the run and thus that sets up a strong play with the under. Louisville has gone under the posted total in 5 of their last 7 home games against team with a winning road record. Virginia Tech has played under today’s posted total in 4 straight games. |
