12-27-19 | Michigan State v. Wake Forest +4 | 27-21 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #230 Wake Forest Demon Deacons over Michigan State Spartans (Pinstripe Bowl, 3:20p.m., Friday, December 27 ESPN) Michigan State has fallen back to a middle of the pack Big 10 teams and they do not warrant to be favored by anyone that qualifies for a bowl game. Wake Forest returns a ton of talent and I just do not believe their defense will be picked apart by Michigan State. The Spartans got to play to terrible teams to close out the regular season but prior to that they lost 5 straight games and they were only competitive in one of those 5 losses. Wake Forest finished poorly down the stretch, but they have the edge in offense and special teams and will win this game straight-up. Michigan State is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games. Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 bowl games. |

12-26-19 | Blazers v. Jazz -5.5 | Top | 115-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
Utah has gotten off to another slow start this season, as they did last season, but they turned it around last year and we are starting to see the signs it’s happening again as they have won five of six. Portland has won four of five also, but they have played a home-heavy schedule. They are 6-10 on the road this season while Utah is 11-3 at home. Portland is 1-5 ATS in their last six as an underdog, and when they are getting beat in these situations it’s normally well beyond the spread. Utah is just the better team despite the slow start and they have one of the best home-court advantages in the NBA. We think they roll tonight with a comfortable 7+-point win. |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Knicks v. Nets OVER 224 | 94-82 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The Knicks are trending to the over with a 4-1 run for the over in their last five games. This team struggled to get over the century mark a month ago but their offense is flourishing under new coaching. But coaching hasn’t done much for the defense as they have given up 120 or more in four straight games. We see the Nets scoring a bunch tonight and the Knicks will be able to do their part to get this one over the posted number. |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Miami-FL v. Louisiana Tech +6.5 | 0-14 | Win | 100 | 217 h 10 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #224 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs over Miami Hurricanes (Independence Bowl, Thursday, December 26 ESPN) Miami just is not what they once were and nobody can figure out how to get this program back to glory. They finished the season with two straight losses including a 10-point setback to Duke, a team that did not even quality for a bowl. Manny Diaz thought he had all the answers resigning from Temple after not even coaching a game. He has been humbled and already lost the fan base and former players. The Bulldogs had a good year and were in great shape before stumbling down the stretch losing 2 of their final 3 games. But they did rebound beating UTSA last time out and will be more excited to be in this game than Miami is. The Hurricanes are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 bowl games. The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 bowl games. |
|||||||
12-25-19 | Clippers v. Lakers UNDER 223 | 111-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
The Clippers have a clear injury sheet for the first time all season. When healthy and motivated, in our mind this is clearly the best team in the NBA. And they will be motivated tonight because of the opponent. Really shocked the Clips were installed as an underdog as we had them laying two points on our line. This team does not really care much about the regular season but this is one of a handful of games that they will be very motivated for. And the Clippers have had the Lakers number ever since the Griffin/CP3 years. |

12-25-19 | Rockets -10.5 v. Warriors | 104-116 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
This Houston team got off to a slow start and there were some chemistry issues earlier in the season, but this team is now in midseason form and playing some of their best basketball of the season now. They have won four straight and covered in three straight, starting with the very impressive win over the Clippers in LA. This team will want to win tonight against the team that has been a thorn in their side for years despite the fact that this Golden State team is a shell of the team from the last few years. We think this one will be a blowout. The Rockets have now covered their last four on the road. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Packers +5 v. Vikings | 23-10 | Win | 100 | 149 h 23 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #481 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (8:15p.m., Monday, December 23 ESPN) The final Monday Night Football game of the season is an NFC North rivalry. This game actually means more to Green Bay, as they have visions of the No. 2 seed and a bye. Even if Minnesota wins this game, they still will likely be a wildcard and thus I do not see them blowing out the Packers in this contest. Green Bay is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. Minnesota is 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a winning record. Expect a field goal game and we will collect with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Canadiens v. Jets -118 | 6-2 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #024. Take Winnipeg over Montreal (Monday at 8:05 pm) As per your selection on the Winnipeg Jets, we believe they are in a great spot to return home after a good 6-0 win against Minnesota and extend their winning streak to 2 games. They take on a Montreal team who is coming off a hard-fought 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers and will be thinking of the Christmas break as they are in the middle of a 7 game road trip as they head to Florida for two games and Carolina to end the year. The Habs are among the worst teams in terms of goals allowed per game and PK% which we believe the Jets will exploit on home ice. Look for Winnipeg to dominate the play and skate away to a good win before the break. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Georgia State +9 v. SMU | 76-85 | Push | 0 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #807 Georgia State over SMU (7p.m., Monday, December 23 ESPN3) The Mustangs are back home after two straight losses and I do not see a blowout in this game. SMU has lost two straight games and they do not have any quality wins on the season. Georgia State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. SMU is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as a home favorite. |

12-22-19 | Xavier v. TCU -2 | 67-59 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #788 TCU -2.5 over Xavier (5p.m., Sunday, December 22 ESPN2) Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Cowboys -2.5 v. Eagles | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #475 Dallas Cowboys over Philadelphia Eagles (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 22 FOX) This is likely a winner take all game! If Dallas wins, they clinch the NFC East and will host a home game on wild card weekend. The Eagles have won two straight games, but they struggle to put away the Giants and Redskins. The Cowboys played their best game of the season last time out and they just have much more talent on offense than the Eagles do. Dallas blew out Philadelphia by 27 points earlier this season. The favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 matchups. Philadelphia is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Mavs v. Raptors UNDER 218 | 107-110 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two solid defensive teams and with an early Sunday matinee start time this will probably be a hard-fought defensive battle and this total seems a few points too high. Dallas has been an over team for most of the season, but the oddsmakers have overadjusted and we think there is value with this number today. Dallas held the Sixers under the century mark last time out on the road, and they should have some success defensively here as well. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Giants +2.5 v. Redskins | 41-35 | Win | 100 | 118 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #465 New York Giants over Washington Redskins (1p.m., Sunday, December 22 FOX) Both teams played well last week with the Giants winning their game and the Redskins nearly knocking off Philadelphia. New York played their best game of the season against Washington back in September and I expect them to win this game as well straight-up regardless of who plays for them under center. New York is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against Washington. The Redskins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Panthers v. Colts -6.5 | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 118 h 9 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #472 Indianapolis Colts over Carolina Panthers (1p.m., Sunday, December 22 FOX) Carolina backdoor covered last week against Seattle and despite that late rally they have decided to bench their quarterback in Kyle Allen. The Colts will not be the playoffs either, but they have not quit like the Panthers have and expect them to go all out with a chance of finishing the season at 8-8. Indianapolis is 12-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 games against NFC teams. Carolina is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Washington v. Boise State +3.5 | 38-7 | Loss | -106 | 101 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #216 Boise State Broncos over Washington Huskies (Las Vegas Bowl, 7:30p.m., Saturday, December 21 ABC) Chris Petersen has been a fixature at both schools and we will resign as head coach of the Washington Huskies after this game. Boise State just wins bowl games and they have won 3 of their last 4 bowl games including a victory in the Las Vegas Bowl two years ago. Washington did not have a good year finishing just 7-5 and did not beat any top teams in the country this season besides USC. Boise State is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Washington is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 bowl games. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Lightning v. Capitals +101 | 1-3 | Win | 101 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #066. Take Washington over Tampa Bay (Saturday @ 7:05 pm) As per your selection on the Washington Capitals, we have no issues backing them on the second half of B2B nights as they are the better team in this matchup and will be amped up to get home and take on a good Tampa team. Washington owns a great 9-3-4 home record and already dispatched of Tampa just last week by a score of 5-2. Tampa has been extremely inconsistent this year, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games after tying the NHL record last year in wins. There could also be a few issues lingering for the Bolts as they benched their star player Kucherov for a turnover and lack of effort. This is a tough spot for them as they are playing just their second road game since Dec 3, and we don't think they'll be up to the task tonight. Washington wins this one and sweeps the series vs the Bolts. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Kentucky v. Ohio State -2.5 | 65-71 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #738 Ohio State -3 over Kentucky (5:15p.m., Saturday, December 21 CBS) Kentucky is really struggling to shoot the ball this year especially from the 3-point line. Ohio State got back on track last time out and expect them to win this game by 6-8 points. Kentucky just has not found the chemistry needed to be success this season at this point. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Bills v. Patriots -6 | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 98 h 40 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #454 New England Patriots over Buffalo Bills (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 21 NFLN) This game appears big on paper but in reality that is not the case for the Bills. Even if Buffalo wins this game, New England still controls its own destiny to win the NFC East and would just have to beat the Dolphins in Week 17 at Foxboro. But the Patriots need a bye if they have any plans of doing damage in the playoffs this year. New England has beaten Buffalo 15 of the last 17 games at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots got well last week against the Bengals and will win this game by close to 10 points. New England is 42-19 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 63 home games. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Utah State v. Florida -3 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #718 Florida -3.5 over Utah State (2:30p.m., Saturday, December 21 FS1) Florida is always a tough team to beat inside the state and they need this game more than does Utah State. The Gators played their best game of the season last time out against Providence and expect them to follow that up with another impressive victory on Saturday. The Aggies struggled with USF last time out and this is a much tougher opponent. Utah State is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games. Florida is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Purdue v. Butler -2 | Top | 61-70 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #722 Butler -2 over Purdue (2:30p.m., Saturday, December 21 BTN) TOP COLLEGE HOOPS PLAY Purdue lost a ton of scoring last year when Carson Edwards left, and they will have trouble keeping pace with Butler in this game. The Bulldogs have a ton of quality wins this season included bating Stanford and Florida. Purdue beat Virginia but they have struggled in their other big games losing to Florida State, Texas, Marquette, and Nebraska. Butler is better than all 4 of those teams. Butler dominated Indiana last year before losing on a freak play to end the game and they have a bad taste in their month from that Crossroads Classic. Butler is 45-20 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 67 neutral site games. Purdue is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Texas v. Providence +1 | 48-70 | Win | 100 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Providence (pk) over Texas (2p.m., Saturday, December 21 FOX) This line is begging you to take Texas, but we will not bite and take the Friars in a true home game. Texas has played a weak schedule thus far for their impressive record. |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Knicks v. Heat OVER 215.5 | 114-129 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
The Knicks have been trending to the over with three of four going over. And we think it will go that way again tonight. This offense has been rejuvenated with the new coaching staff. This team had a hard time reaching the century mark for much of the season, but they scored 143 last time out against the Hawks. We won’t see an effort like that tonight against a stout Miami defense, but we do expect fluid scoring from both teams and think this one will get over 220. |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Grizzlies -2 v. Cavs | 107-114 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Two lousy teams here, but the Grizzlies are the better overall team and this is a very winnable game for them. The Grizzlies are 5-7 on the road while the Cavs are 4-10 at home this season, and there isn’t much of a home-court advantage here. The Grizzlies have covered in five of their last six games. This team is quietly playing well above expectations right now and providing value for bettors. This team is playing to win lately, and we think they will take this opportunity to bring their A Game against a lowly opponent. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Rockets v. Clippers -5 | Top | 122-117 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
The Clippers are finally getting fully healthy and could very possibly have the full roster at their disposal tonight. This team has been kind of a work in progress with load management and injuries, but we think at full strength that this team is the best in the NBA. We think this is a game where they will want to flex their muscles a bit in front of a national audience. We think with these teams at their best, which we are likely to see tonight, that LA is the clear superior team. The Rockets have been winning, but they are overrated by the oddsmakers recently as they have covered in only one of their last five games. The Clippers, on the other hand, have covered in five of six and this team has been playing some of its best basketball of the season lately, a couple hiccups aside. Los Angeles doesn’t care much about the regular season, but this game for sure will be important for them and we think they put their best foot forward tonight in what we see as a comfortable win by the home team. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Kings v. Blue Jackets -142 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #032 (5Dimes). Take Columbus -145 over Los Angeles (Thursday @ 7:05 pm). As per your selection on the Columbus Blue Jackets, we like the spot they are in and we believe they are going to win this game at home to push their home record to 10-8-1. The Jackets come into this game winner of two straight and now get to take on a Kings team who is on the tail end of a 6 game road trip as this is their fifth game. We know LA is thinking about getting home and after an emotional win against Boston last time out, we believe they will be due for a letdown against a pesky Columbus team. The Kings are just 9-24 in their last 33 vs the Eastern Conference and 7-18 in their last 18 Thursday games. The Jackets are 23-10 in their last 33 Thursday games and the favorite in this matchup is 21-6 over the last 27 H2H'S. Take Columbus. |
|||||||
12-18-19 | Michigan State v. Northwestern +12 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #668 Northwestern over Michigan State (8p.m., Wednesday, December 18 BTN) The Big 10 home winning streak will likely end at tonight, but I do not see it being a blowout. The Wildcats have played better of late winning 3 of their last 5 games. Michigan State has been one of the most disappointing teams this season and they lack quality wins at this point of the season. Michigan State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Northwestern is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-18-19 | Hornets +3 v. Cavs | Top | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
You have to look to play against the Cavs when they are favored against anyone this season. This is one of the worst teams in the NBA. They haven’t been favored many times this season but are 0-2 ATS when laying points. We think this is a very winnable game for the road team, who should have Batum back tonight. Charlotte has won and covered in four of their last five games. They are 5-1 ATS on the second half of a back-to-back, so the lack of rest doesn’t worry us too much tonight. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Suns +13 v. Clippers | 99-120 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
The Clippers don’t care a lot about each game so it would be hard to lay this many points with them against a decent Phoenix squad. This team can beat anyone on any given day but they just don’t have a lot of motivation every night as we saw last time out in Chicago. This game was selling for very cheap tickets so locals aren’t too excited about it so why would the Clippers be, especially with the Rockets on deck on Thursday. We think the road team keeps this within single digits. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Hurricanes v. Jets +109 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #014. Take Winnipeg over Carolina (Tuesday at 8:05 pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, it appears the Jets have regained their form of two years ago when they went to the Western Conference Finals. The Jets are going for their six straight victory at home and we believe they get it as they come off a great 7-3 win and now have momentum heading into tonight's game. The Hurricanes are on the tail end of a 5 game road trip and they've just beat a good Calgary team 4-0. We don't believe they can pay two perfect games in a row which is why we side with the Jets in this one. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Nets -2 v. Pelicans | 108-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Despite consistently getting very generous lines from the oddsmakers, the Pelicans are one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA. They are getting too much credit from the bookies tonight for playing at home, and they face a hot Nets team tonight in another game that should not go great for them. Brooklyn has won four of their last six and covered in six of their last eight, and this is a team that is trending upwards after a slow start to the season. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Hawks v. Knicks OVER 224.5 | 120-143 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
The Knicks offense has been playing better lately and they should be able to get plenty of points at home against one of the more porous defenses in the NBA. The Hawks give up nearly 118 points per game, and if the Knicks get anywhere close to that this one should fly over as this should be a close game and no blowout and both squads should get their points. The Hawks have gone over in four straight road games, and we see that trend continuing tonight. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Florida -4.5 v. Providence | 83-51 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #629 Florida over Providence (7p.m., Tuesday, December 17 ESPN2) The Gators have not played up to their preseason ranking thus far in 2019-2020 but they still have talent. The Friars are in even worse shape having lost to a bunch of bad teams this year and will enter having won just 2 of their last 6 games. The Gators are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as a favorite. Providence is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Ducks +125 v. Flyers | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #001. Take Anaheim over Philadelphia (Tuesday at 7:05 pm) As per your selection on Anaheim, we believe this is a great spot for the Ducks to win their second game in a row against a Philly team that is banged up through injuries and that has lost three straight. The Ducks are off a 4-3 win against the Rangers and are rested having not played since Dec 14. Philly lost all three games on their western road trip giving up 14 goals while scoring just 5. Now they return home and we don't see them getting back in the win column. |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Avalanche +102 v. Blues | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #071. Take Colorado over St. Louis (Monday at 8:05 pm) As per your selection on Colorado, we feel that this is a great spot for them to do well as they come into this matchup with the Blues well-rested and riding a solid two-game winning streak. The Avs have also won 8 of their last nine games and we feel that as they get healthy they are going to be one of the top teams in the league (if they aren't already). We like the fact that the Avs have had 2 days off to rest up for this game and this game marks the start of a two-game Central road trip, so we know they want to start the trip off on a winning note. As for St. Louis, they are in the middle of a four-game homestand and as they come off a 4 goal comeback in their last game against Chicago, we can see a little complacency set in and they may not have a full effort tonight. We know Colorado is a great road team and we believe they will get the job done once again tonight. |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Wizards v. Pistons -5.5 | Top | 133-119 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Pistons are kind of under the radar right now but playing well, winning three of their last four, including a big win at Houston last time out. Even though they can be inconsistent, they are clearly the better team here, and they are facing a Washington team that has dropped seven of their last eight and already has no hope for the season. Even with some injury concerns tonight we expect this Detroit team to take care of business and stay hot. |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Kent State -2 v. Cal-Irvine | 68-74 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #837 Kent State over Cal Irvine (7p.m., Monday, December 16) The Anteaters have some bad losses on the season including to Detroit, Pepperdine, and & Cal Baptist. The Golden Flashes are off to an impressive start at 8-1 this season and they pounded Detroit by a score of 92-57. Kent State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Expect them to win this game by 6-8 points. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Kings -3.5 v. Warriors | 100-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
The Kings tend to bounce back well from a loss. They are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games after a loss. Before that loss last time out they had won three straight over playoff contenders and they lost in OT in San Antonio before that winning streak. That loss to the Knicks was a head-scratcher, but this is a young team that can be inconsistent. But we still think they are hot and playing well overall and we expect a big effort in a very winnable game tonight. |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Bills v. Steelers -1.5 | 17-10 | Loss | -115 | 126 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #322 Pittsburgh Steelers over Buffalo Bills (8:25p.m., Sunday, December 15 NBC) Just not sold on the Buffalo Bills and feel their record is mostly a byproduct of their schedule. Buffalo has struggled against the AFC North this season losing to the Browns and Ravens and only beating the Bengals by 4 points. This is the final home game for the Steelers, and it is a must win if they have visions of making the playoffs this season. Buffalo does not get many primetime games and I do not believe they will be up for the challenge in this game. Buffalo is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Rams v. Cowboys | 21-44 | Loss | -110 | 123 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #329 Los Angeles Rams over Dallas Cowboys (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 15 FOX) This line opened at -3.5 (Dallas) and has been bet down all week long and still is not where it should be. Dallas is terrible and is only being talked about because they play in the NFC East. This game does not mean much for the Cowboys and it will likely come down to them beating the Eagles on 12/22 to determine their playoff fate. We used the Rams are our top play last week and won easily against the Seahawks and now they face a much more dysfunctional team. The Rams are 8-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. Dallas is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Bears v. Packers -4 | 13-21 | Win | 100 | 119 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #310 Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears (1p.m., Sunday, December 15 FOX) The Packers are not getting much respect of late and thus we will take them on Sunday against a team they have already beaten once this season. Just do not trust QB Trubisky to win games on a consistent basis. Green Bay knows they need this game in order to win the division and they will get it by 7-10 points. Chicago is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Green Bay is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. The Bears are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games against the Packers. |

12-14-19 | Gonzaga v. Arizona -3 | 84-80 | Loss | -120 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #758 Arizona over Gonzaga (10p.m., Saturday, December 14 ESPN) Tough spot for the Bulldogs playing their second straight road game against a PAC-12 school. Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in past years and they are playing a team that is hungry for this quality win and to get back into the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats just have one loss on the season, a true road game at Baylor which went down to the wire. They have not had many competitive games and I feel they will pull away late to win this game by 7-10 points. Arizona is 12-5 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 20 games. |
|||||||
12-14-19 | Georgia v. Arizona State -4.5 | 59-79 | Win | 100 | 24 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #746 Arizona State over Georgia (8p.m., Saturday, December 14 PAC12N) These teams met last year in Athens and Arizona State came back from being down 18 points to win by 2. They should have a much easier time this season, as I just do not believe Georgia is much better in year 2 under Tom Crean. The Dawgs are 6-2 but they have yet to record a quality win this season. Arizona State has won 4 straight games and they are a tough team to beat in Tempe. Georgia is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Arizona State is 9-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-14-19 | Stanford v. San Jose State +16 | 78-58 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #742 San Jose State over Stanford (7p.m., Saturday, December 14 CBSSN) The Spartans have played better basketball of late despite losing 5 in a row. They nearly won at San Diego State, a team many believe will get to the NCAA Tournament this season. Stanford is better this year, but they are not the type of team to be laying this kind of a number in a true road game. They are scoring just 75.6 points per game and it will be hard for them to cover if they just hit their average. Stanford is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. |
|||||||
12-14-19 | Spurs v. Suns -2 | 121-119 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
We feel this is a joke of a line and based on name more than performance this season. The Spurs are just a lousy team. The Suns are coming off a loss and we think they will be primed for a good bounce back today. The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last four road games and we had this line handicapped at 5 so there is good value today. |
|||||||
12-13-19 | Rockets v. Magic UNDER 222 | Top | 130-107 | Loss | -114 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
Orlando is one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA and one of the best defensive clubs, and you have to always look for the under when this team has a total in the 220s. Five of the last seven games they have played have gone under the posted total, and they average under 103 PPG on offense. The Rockets have played under in three of their last four, and we don’t expect a shootout here and it’s very likely this total finishes well under 220. |
|||||||
12-12-19 | Hurricanes -105 v. Canucks | 0-1 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. #019. Take Carolina over Vancouver (Thursday at 10:05 pm) As per your selection on Carolina, we believe this is a great spot for them to extend their winning streak to four games against a Vancouver team that's been mediocre at best over the last two weeks and have give up 9 goals over their last two games. Vancouver games may be fun to watch for the neutral fan but they hardly play any defense and we are going to exploit that tonight by backing a Carolina team that's scored 6 goals in back to back games and are among the top-10 in the league in all offense categories as well as defensive categories. This is also a letdown spot for the Canucks who vied their last game against a fellow Canadian team a big test in which they ultimately failed. Carolina gets another win tonight and we extend our NHL run to 4 straight winners. |
|||||||
12-12-19 | Mavs -5.5 v. Pistons | Top | 122-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
This game is in Mexico City. Dallas has a lot of international players, so they should feel right at home here! The Mavs have been getting the job done in the favorite role as they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine when laying points. This team has been covering lines like crazy lately but are staying under the radar because of all the other big stories in the NBA this season. The Pistons are just so inconsistent, and we don’t think they will do well in this setting that they aren’t used to. We think there’s a great chance for a Dallas double-digit win here. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Knicks v. Warriors OVER 210.5 | 124-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
The Warriors have played a bunch of unders lately, but we are getting a too-low total as a result. In fact, this total is crazy low in today’s NBA. But the Knicks played last night and chased the Blazers up and down the court in a lousy effort. We don’t see them playing a lick of defense tonight, and the Warriors offense should thrive. And the Knicks will keep this competitive enough to where they will get their share of points to go over this posted number. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Thunder +1.5 v. Kings | 93-94 | Win | 103 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
We just think the Thunder are the much stronger team here and this line is more than fair with them catching points on the road. In fact, we had them handicapped as a slight favorite in this game and we think they have a great chance for the outright win. They have won five of their last six and are playing very well right now. And this team is under the radar but they have been cashing tickets on a regular basis lately. There is value with the road team. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Grizzlies v. Suns -7 | Top | 115-108 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
Phoenix started their season off hot then went into a bit of a lull. But they have got their groove back lately and this team has covered in four of its last five. After a four-game road trip they came back home in that tricky first game after a road trip and walloped the Timberwolves. Now they face an even bigger step down in competition against the Grizzlies. Memphis is a very bad team this season. They are getting a lot of points on a nightly basis from the oddsmakers but can’t cover any lines. They are coming off a win and a cover last time out against the Warriors, and they should be content tonight and won’t play desperate since not on a losing streak. This looks very much like a double-digit win for the home team. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Bruins v. Capitals -122 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play. #066. Take Washington over Boston (Wednesday at 7:05 pm) As per your selection on Washington, we feel as if this is a great spot for Washington to get back int he win column after losing their last game 5-2 to a Columbus team that always plays the Caps tough. Now they get to take on a Bruins team that is on the decline as of right now, losers of three straight and having given up 13 goals during that span. We know Washington's strength is putting the puck in the back of the net as they sit third in the league in goals scored per game and shooting percentage. Boston is in the middle game of a four-game road trip and has to travel to Tampa Bay for a division showdown tomorrow. Washington is the fresher of the two teams having just played twice since they've only had one game between Dec 6 and tonight. Give us Washington on home ice to continue our winning ways on the ice. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Wisconsin +1.5 v. Rutgers | 65-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Wisconsin over Rutgers (7p.m., Wednesday, December 11 BTN) Rutgers is coming off two straight defeats and in appears obvious that this team will not be going anywhere come March for yet another season. Wisconsin played their best game of the season last time out against Indiana and expect to follow that up with another victory on Wednesday. Rutgers does not have a quality win this season and will lose this game straight-up. Both teams need this win, but Wisconsin has a history of coming up big during conference play and Rutgers does not. |
|||||||
12-10-19 | Maple Leafs -113 v. Canucks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play. #061. Take Toronto over Vancouver (Tuesday at 10:05 pm) As per your selection on Toronto, we feel as if this is a great spot for them to do well as they come into this game full of confidence after beating the defending Cup champs 5-2 in what was arguably their best game of the season. We know the Leafs have been inconsistent of late, but there comes a point where one game can turn the season around and we feel as if the Leafs know that their Saturday win would have been for nothing if they don't follow it up with a win vs a team they should beat. The Canucks are a good young team and are coming off a sloppy defensive game where they gave up 5 to Buffalo in an eventual 6-5 Ot win. Nonetheless, the Leafs will want to get their western road trip started on a winning note and should show some urgency to get both points in this game. |
|||||||
12-10-19 | Nevada v. BYU -8 | 42-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #618 BYU over Nevada (9p.m., Tuesday, December 10 ESPNU) The Wolf Pack have beaten up on weak teams for their 7 wins this season. Their last two losses have come by double digits and playing BYU in Provo will be too much for them to overcome. Having Yoeli Childs back gives the Cougars a big edge in this game. Nevada is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-10-19 | Wizards v. Hornets UNDER 229.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
The Wizards have had some really high totals. But some of these numbers are getting ridiculous. Bettors are probably blindly taking the over every night so the bookies are increasing the numbers. The Hornets are one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA. They have scored more than 107 only once in their last eight games. They play some pretty solid defense. This should be a higher scoring game than they are used to, but we had this one handicapped around 223 so we think there is some nice value on the under. |
|||||||
12-09-19 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | 101-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
This line is just too large, in our opinion. The Magic got off to a slow start, but they come in having won four in a row (against an easy schedule, but still impressive). They are playing with a lot of confidence and playing like the playoff contender many thought they were coming into the season. When a good and popular team like the Bucks start winning a lot and covering the lines sometimes get out of control, and we think that is the case here as we expected 9.5 but got a few more points than we were expecting on the spread. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Seahawks v. Rams +1 | 12-28 | Win | 100 | 126 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #158 Los Angeles Rams over the Seattle Seahawks (8:20p.m., Sunday, December 8 NBC) The Rams appeared to get it last week and they must win games to keep their chances of a wild card berth alive. Seattle can afford to drop this game, since their chances of winning the division lie with their December 21st game against the 49ers. The Rams played the Seahawks tough earlier this season in Seattle and should be able to emerge victorious with this game being played at the Coliseum. Seattle is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played in Los Angeles. The Rams are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against NFC teams. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Gonzaga v. Washington +4.5 | 83-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #804 Washington over Gonzaga (7p.m., Sunday, December 8 ESPN2) Just do not believe Gonzaga should be favored in this true road game for the Bulldogs. Gonzaga is not as talented as they have been in past years and Washington is a legit Top 25 team in 2019-2020. Gonzaga is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Expect this to be a close game that goes down to the wire and we will come out top with whoever wins it by a bucket. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Chiefs v. Patriots -3 | 23-16 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #152 New England Patriots over Kansas City Chiefs (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 8 CBS) Everyone is ready to put the nail in the coffin for Patriots, but I am not one of them. The Patriots have not lost at home this season and they should be able to get their offense back on track against this suspect Chiefs defense. This is strength vs strength, as the Chiefs offense is their best unit and they will have to go against the Patriots defense, which is their best unit. New England is 42-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 62 home games. Kansas City is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during Week 14 of the regular season. It may not be pretty, but the Patriots will pull out this game by 7-10 points. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2.5 | 48-46 | Loss | -109 | 119 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #138 New Orleans Saints over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, December 8 FOX) This is a bad situational game for the 49ers, as they are playing their second straight 1 p.m. road game (10 am local). The 49ers gave the Ravens all that they can handle last week and now must face a team with an even greater home field advantage. QB Garoppolo continues to turnover the football each game and thus may be the best defense he will face this season. I believe the 49ers are deflated knowing they could end up as the No. 5 seed in the NFC and thus I would expect them to drop at least 2 of their remaining 4 games. San Francisco is 6-13 ATS (1 push) in their last 20 games against NFC teams. New Orleans is 51-25 ATS (1 push) in their last 77 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Wisconsin +16.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 102 h 49 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #119 Wisconsin Badgers over Ohio State Buckeyes (Big 10 Championship Game, 8p.m., Saturday, December 7 FOX) Sooner or later Ohio State is going to have a competitive game. They clobbered Michigan last week, but Wisconsin did the same thing to the Wolverines as well this season. The line opened at -18 but has bet down a little since 12/1/19 and I still think Wisconsin gives them a game and easily covers this spread. Penn State and Wisconsin both had to play in Columbus and getting to face them in Indianapolis will be a much different atmosphere. The underdog has covered the spread in 5 of the last 8 meetings (1 push). Wisconsin is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Pacers v. Knicks OVER 208 | Top | 104-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
This total is low because the Knicks have a lousy offense, but with the Pacers coming in on a back-to-back after playing their blood rival Detroit last night, we don’t see their defense being up to snuff. We think the Knicks will have an opportunity to score the basketball tonight. The over is 6-1-1 when the Pacers are on the second end of a back-to-back. This will be the first game for the Knicks with their interim coach, and they might push the pace more than we have seen recently. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Wild v. Hurricanes OVER 5.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #007/008. Take Over 5.5 Goals (-110) - Minnesota vs Carolina. (Saturday at 7:00 pm) As per your selection on the over in this spot, we feel as if this is a great spot to ride the Wild's momentum and bank on them scoring a few goals against a Carolina team who has been inconsistent over their last handful of games. The Wild just put up five on a great Tampa team and have extended their win streak to five games. We see them bagging at least three more goals tonight while the Hurricanes will want to also put on a show for their home crowd and we see them bagging a few goals themselves tonight. We love the fact that this game is at 5.5 as we can easily see a 4-2 game. Let's get this win and add to our NHL totals this weekend! |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Indiana v. Wisconsin +1 | 64-84 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #654 Wisconsin over Indiana (4:30p.m., Saturday, December 7 BTN) The Hoosiers have yet to play a true road game this season and they have not had much success at all playing in Madison. Wisconsin is a much better team at home, and this is a game they need to win to record if they have any hopes of making the NCAA Tournament come March. Wisconsin already beat Marquette at home and they will keep their undefeated home winning streak alive. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-06-19 | USC v. TCU OVER 132.5 | 80-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Over in Southern Cal @ TCU (9p.m., Friday, December 6 ESPN2) Both teams are off to good starts and this should not be a blowout allowing some late scoring to occur via fouls at the end of the game. USC has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 14 road games. Expect that trend to hold true again on Friday night and we will not worry if TCU can cover this spread and just collect with the over. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Clippers v. Bucks -3.5 | Top | 91-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
When all is said and done we think the Clippers have a great chance to win the championship this season, and they will likely have to get through this Bucks team to achieve that goal. But at this point the Bucks are way ahead of the curve while the Clippers are still figuring a lot of things out on the go. The Clippers, smartly, don’t seem to care much about the regular season and are forward thinking with their gameplans for the playoffs. We just think the Bucks are in a much better spot for a big win tonight. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Kings v. Spurs -4 | 104-105 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
The Spurs have been one of the bigger disappointments to start the season, but there have been signs of life lately with home wins over the Clippers and Rockets in their last three. Of course, they had that real stinker at Detroit in between those games, but the Spurs need this with badly and we have to think they will take care of business against a Kings team that has been very inconsistent so far this season. San Antonio is still one of the toughest places for an opponent to come in and have success, and we think the Spurs get the job done tonight. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Oregon +7 v. Utah | 37-15 | Win | 100 | 78 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #103 Oregon Ducks over Utah Utes (Pac-12 Championship Game, 8p.m., Friday, December 6 ABC) Utah has the better coach but I just believe Oregon has the better team. The Ducks are catching a lot of points and I think they will thrive under the spoiler role in this situation. Oregon is 2-0 in this game and they have not played many complete games this year, but this would be a great time for that to occur. Oregon is 22-9 ATS in their last 31 games being played on grass. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will come out on top with whoever wins this game by a field goal. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Wizards v. Heat UNDER 232.5 | 103-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
The Wizards come in on a back-to-back after playing a tough game last night in a loss to Philly. This team is also playing their third game in four nights. We don’t think they will have anything left in the tank here. Miami had their own back-to-back on Wednesday and lost badly to Boston. They will be fired up to get back on track here. We see this one as a total blowout and don’t see the Wizards scoring enough to get anywhere near this total against a tough Miami defense. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Warriors v. Bulls -4.5 | 100-98 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
It’s crazy how the Warriors have gone from one of the best teams the NBA has even seen to maybe the worst team in the NBA this season. But this team has been besieged with injuries and they are bringing out a very young and raw roster every night. Chicago has had a rough start to the season, but they have been playing better lately and this is a good chance for them to keep the positive momentum going tonight. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Nets -2.5 v. Hornets | 111-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but the Nets are the much better ballclub. They have been underachieving this season, however. But this team has been playing better lately and they have covered in six of their last eight. The Nets already beat Charlotte this season a few weeks ago by 10, and we think we could see a similar result here. Brooklyn was a real lousy bet to start the season, but they are starting to gel without Irving and there is some betting value here now. |
|||||||
12-05-19 | Suns v. Pelicans -3 | Top | 139-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
The Suns were one of the strongest ATS teams to start out the season, but they have fallen off a cliff recently. They have covered in only two of their last nine games, and they are in a real tough spot here, coming in on a back-to-back after getting blown out in Orlando last night. This will not only be a back-to-back but their third game in four nights, and fatigue is starting to become a real issue at this point of the season. The Pelicans haven’t had great results, either, but they have played a very tough schedule with recent games against Dallas, OKC (X2), Lakers, Clippers and Jazz. Their last win was Nov. 21, against this same Phoenix team, in Arizona, and they won by 3. They are rested with the night off last night and at home in this matchup, and we think this is a great chance for a rare comfortable win. The Pelicans have covered in seven of the last nine meetings between these clubs, and we expect that trend to hold strong tonight. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Kings v. Blazers -4 | 116-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
The Blazers got spanked by the Clippers last night. We like to back a good team coming off a bad loss, especially when they take a big step down in competition. And even though the Blazers are on a back-to-back, their previous game was on Friday so they should not be too worn down. The Kings have been very inconsistent. We think the Blazers are being punished too much by the oddsmakers for this back to back and we expect them to score a win by 7+ tonight. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Wisconsin +5 v. NC State | 54-69 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #867 Wisconsin over NC State (9:15p.m., Wednesday, December 4 ESPN2) The Badgers need a quality road win and should be able to take this game down to the wire in Raleigh. NC State is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Neither team deserves to be a favorite and thus we will just grab the points in this ACC/Big 10 Challenger game. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Weber State +3 v. Utah Valley | 72-67 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #863 Weber State over Utah Valley (9p.m., Wednesday, December 4) The Wildcats have played a tough schedule this year and are in desperate need for a victory after starting the season 1-5. They are a traditional power in the Big Sky and should be able to play a competitive game against an in-state team in Utah Valley. This spread has come way down since it opened at -6 and yet most of the bets are coming in on Utah Valley. That tells me the sharps are playing Weber State. The Wolverines are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Air Force -1 v. Wyoming | 86-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #865 Air Force over Wyoming (9p.m., Wednesday, December 4 themwc.com) Mountain West play opens tonight and both teams are desperate for a victory. The Force returns a bunch of players from last year and that should allow them to win this game in Laramie. The Cowboys are predicted to finish 10th in the MWC and have a coach on the hot seat. Air Force is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Wyoming is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Wolves v. Mavs OVER 229.5 | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Both teams trend to the over this season, and we expect a barnburner here tonight. Both teams have explosive offenses, and Dallas has the better defense, but we don’t see them playing very strong D tonight since they are on the back end of a back-to-back. We think both teams will get better than their season averages on offense tonight and this one should fly over the posted total. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Heat v. Celtics -6 | 93-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
Boston comes into this one on two day’s rest and the Heat not only will be playing on a back-to-back and their third game in four nights, but they played a really tough OT game last night in a win over Toronto. This is the point in the season when back-to-backs are really affecting teams, and we just don’t see the Heat having anything left in the tank, while the Celtics will have lots of energy and motivation since these two teams are two of the top clubs in the east and this game could be an important tiebreaker down the road. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Lakers v. Nuggets UNDER 208.5 | Top | 105-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Both teams trend heavily to the under this season with a 24-13 combined mark for the under. These teams are a combined 30-7 on the season and this is a massively huge matchup and could have an affect on playoff seeding, and we think both defenses will be in top form for a game that could have a playoff atmosphere. Only one of the last six meetings has gone over, and we just think the defenses will dominate in this crucial matchup. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Michigan v. Louisville -5 | Top | 43-58 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #746 Louisville over Michigan (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 3 ESPN) NONCONFERENCE TOP PLAY Louisville is the No. 1 team in the country and are a legit final four team under year team with Chris Mack. Michigan has skyrocketed up the polls currently at No. 4 in the country after winning the Battle for Atlantis last week. They went from unranked to No. 4 in the country, but I am still not completely sold on them. This will be their first true road game of the season and I am always weary on teams traveling from out of the country over Thanksgiving. I have seen these teams come out flat and not have much energy and expect that to be the case this evening. Michigan has solidified their NCAA Tournament bid at the end of the season beating North Carolina and Gonzaga might not be that great of a victory, as a believe both of those teams are fringe top 20 teams. Louisville is 10-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 games against Big 10 teams. They have a great frontcourt led by Joran Nwora, who will come up big tonight as the best player on the floor. Louisville wins this game by 8-10 points giving us another top play winner on Tuesday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Magic v. Wizards UNDER 227.5 | 127-120 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
The Wizards have been allowing tons of points on defense and playing at a fast tempo. But they have played some excellent offensive teams lately, and we think that this number is inflated tonight. Orlando is one of the worst offensive teams in the league this season (101 PPG on offense) and one of the best defensive teams in the NBA (102 PPG allowed). They don’t have much of a chance here in a shootout, so we think they try to thwart the tempo tonight. We think this total is inflated due to recent results for the Wizards. |

12-02-19 | Vikings v. Seahawks -2.5 | Top | 30-37 | Win | 100 | 147 h 7 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Seattle Seahawks over Minnesota Vikings (8:15p.m., Monday, December 2 ESPN) The Seahawks have not played at home since November 3 and they have been outstanding of late winning 4 straight games. Minnesota is a quiet 8-3 but I still do not trust QB Cousins to win big primetime games in December. These two teams met in Seattle on Monday Night Football last year and the Seahawks dominated that game winning by 14 points. The Seahawks have won 6 straight games against NFC teams. Minnesota is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Monday Night games. Seattle is 10-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 Monday Night games. |

12-02-19 | Warriors v. Hawks -6.5 | 79-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
It’s hard to back a team that has lost 10 straight laying this many points. But the Hawks have just had a brutal schedule and this seems like a great spot for them to get a win. Not only will the Hawks have the extra motivation of ending this losing streak, but they have lost to the Warriors nine straight times. Of course, this is a different Warriors team now as all the stars are injured. Atlanta is a better team than they have shown recently and we think they come to play a strong game at home tonight. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Chargers v. Broncos +3 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 119 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Denver Broncos over Los Angeles Chargers (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 1 CBS) Neither one of these teams is going anywhere and I just do not believe QB Rivers has much left in the tank. Both teams have shown some signs of life at certain points of the season and Denver is always a tough team to beat in the Mile-High City. Los Angeles is 3-7 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 12 games. Denver is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Week 13 of the NFL season. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Packers -6 v. Giants | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 116 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #451 Green Bay Packers over New York Giants (1p.m., Sunday, December 1 FOX) This is a get-well game for the Packers, as they struggled for a second time this season in the state of California. Danny Dimes is struggling like any rookie quarterback would with a lack of talent around him. Green Bay is better on both sides of the football and will be able to win this game by double digits. The favorite in this match-up has covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 games (1 push). Green Bay is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. New York is 5-15 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 home games. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Browns v. Steelers +2.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 116 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 Pittsburgh Steelers over Cleveland Browns (1p.m., Sunday, December 1 CBS) Pittsburgh wants this game badly. They have the better coach and should not be the underdog in this game. Pittsburgh got back on track last week against Cincinnati and they have dominated this series since the Browns were allowed back into the league. Pittsburgh is 12-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 home games when they are an underdog. Cleveland is 6-21 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 29 games against with winning records. The home team is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 6 match-ups between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. |

11-30-19 | Jets +102 v. Kings | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play. #083. Take Winnipeg over Los Angeles (Saturday at 10:05 pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, we have no problem going back to the well with the Jets as they come into this game winner of last night's game 3-0 vs Anaheim. They played extremely well in that game and have been playing good hockey overall as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Kings also played last night and lost 4-1 to the Sharks so they don't have the benefit of being rested for this one. Winnipeg has owned the season series over the Kings of late and we'll take them on Saturday to continue their winning ways. |

11-30-19 | Arizona +13.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 101 h 58 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #419 Arizona Wildcats over Arizona State Sun Devils (10p.m., Saturday, November 30 ESPN) Arizona State is coming off a huge win against Oregon last Saturday, but now we have an inflated line in a rivalry game. The Wildcats are playing their final game of the season Saturday night and expect them to be competitive for 60 minutes. Arizona State has lost 4 of their last 5 games and they have home losses to USC and Colorado. Arizona State has only beaten 1 team all season (Kent State) by over tonight’s posted number. The Territorial Cup will remain with the Sun Devils but they win by just 7-10 points. The underdog is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games between Arizona and Arizona State. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Hawks +14 v. Rockets | Top | 111-158 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
The Rockets haven’t been good when laying big points as they are 1-3 ATS when laying eight or more points. The Hawks are a perfect 4-0 ATS when getting double-digit points this season, so they normally show up against the top teams. Atlanta has lost nine straight yet they have covered in three of their last four and lost to the Pacers in OT last time out. This team has talent and they will try hard tonight to stop the bleeding and we think this one has a great chance to come in under double digits. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Navy -7.5 v. Houston | 56-41 | Win | 100 | 98 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #363 Navy Midshipmen over Houston Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, November 30 ESPN2) Just do not think Houston is very good this season and they have a coach that is completely full of himself. The Cougars ended a three-game losing streak last week winning at Tulsa, but did not dominate that game whatsoever. Navy does not have a bad loss on the season and should be able to reach 10 wins by winning their last two games against teams they will be favored against. Houston is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Houston got destroyed last year against a triple option team in Army and will lose this game by double digits. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Florida State +1 v. Purdue | 63-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #657 Florida State over Purdue (7p.m., November 30 CBSSN) Purdue played the late game last night and had to spend a lot of energy beating VCU and now they face the Seminoles in their home state. FSU is the more rested team and should be able to take care of business on Saturday and win the Emerald Coast Classic. Florida State is 10-4 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | UAB -3 v. North Texas | 26-21 | Win | 100 | 95 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #421 UAB Blazers over North Texas Mean Green (4p.m., Saturday, November 30 Stadium) The Blazers are not the same team away from Birmingham, but they have a lot of play for in this game. IF UAB win they play next week in the Conference USA Championship Game and should get Tyler Johnston III back for this game. The Mean Green are coming off a bad loss to Rice last time out and I do not see things getting better for them on Senior Day. They have yet to beat a quality team this year. UAB is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against North Texas. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Dartmouth v. Bowling Green -7.5 | 69-76 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #616 Bowling Green over Dartmouth (4p.m., November 30) The Falcons have challenged themselves in the nonconference portion of the season and are ready for a home game after making the finals of the Paradise Jam this past week. The Big Green have played a much easier schedule and they are not ready for this step in class. Dartmouth is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against MAC teams. Bowling Green is 12-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 18 home games. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Alabama -3.5 v. Auburn | 45-48 | Loss | -109 | 95 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #397 Alabama Crimson Tide over Auburn Tigers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 30 CBS) With Oregon going down last week, the Tide still have a lot of play for in this game and I expect them to make a statement in their last regular season game of the 2019 season. Auburn has not been able to hold up against the top teams in the SEC and this game should be no different. They still have a true freshman quarterback and that does not bode well against a Nick Saban defense. Rarely do you see a line this low in an Alabama game and that is basically because of their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa not playing in this game. Alabama still has the better roster and expect Coach Saban to thrive in a situation like this similar to what Coach Meyer did with QB Cardale Jones. |

11-30-19 | Wisconsin -2 v. Minnesota | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 94 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #371 Wisconsin Badgers over Minnesota Golden Gophers (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 30 ABC) A lot is on the line in this game as the winner gets to play Ohio State next week in the Big 10 Championship Game. The road team has been the play of late, as they have covered the spread 4 times in the last 5 years (1 push). Wisconsin has shocked last year and that is one of the worst losses under Coach Paul Chryst at Wisconsin. The Badgers will be far and away the best defense the Gophers have faced this season. Wisconsin is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Just do not believe Minnesota is ready to win a game like this. They are improved but their schedule has been soft all season long and this is the game where that will show up in a big way. Wisconsin pulls away late to win this game by 10 points. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Clippers -5.5 v. Spurs | 97-107 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Looks like the Spurs run might be over. This team just stinks this season, and they have lost the home court magic. The Clippers have enjoyed a home-heavy schedule to start the season, and they are on the road quite a bit the next couple weeks. But they have passed all tests so far with big road wins at Dallas and Memphis, and this team is hungry and playing well together as a team. And we have no doubt they would like to blow the Spurs out and kick them while they are down here on Friday. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Pelicans v. Thunder -4 | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
We like to back a good team after an embarrassing loss, and that’s surely the case here as the Thunder were run out of the building in Portland on Wednesday. This is a proud team and they should be able to right the ship against a lousy New Orleans team that comes in having lost three straight. These teams met earlier in the month and OKC won by double digits. We don’t see any reason why this could not be a similar result. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Warriors v. Heat UNDER 210 | 105-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
Miami is one of the strongest defensive teams in the NBA. And we agree with the ossdmakers here that this will be a blowout, and we think that bodes well for the under. With this current lineup the Warriors have really struggled on the offensive end. We don’t see them having any success tonight, and the only way they can hang in this game is to concentrate on strong D. But we fully expect their team total to come in under the century mark tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Hornets v. Pistons OVER 213 | 110-107 | Win | 100 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
This series has been trending to the under for awhile, but we see this one going the other way. These teams had the day off on Thanksgiving, so we think the jump shots will fall. Three of the last four for the Hornets have gone over the posted number, and they have been giving up lots of points on defense, while their offense has turned a corner. These teams played Wednesday and the total reached only 203. But the oddsmakers have posted another high number here. The second meeting in these home-and-homes normally go the other way ATS and over/under than the first one! |
