01-08-22 | Cowboys v. Eagles +7.5 | 51-26 | Loss | -118 | 103 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #470 Philadelphia Eagles over Dallas Cowboys (8:15p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN) This spread is high considering neither team has that much to play for in this game. Dallas is not getting the No. 2 seed and Philadelphia is locked into a wild card road game. The Eagles have won 4 straight games and they have a first-year head coach that will likely play this game all out. Dallas is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with a winning record. Philadelphia is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of January. |

01-08-22 | Jazz v. Pacers +2.5 | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Indiana has lost six straight, but they have been competitive recently. We think this is a great chance for them to notch one in the win column. Utah is all banged up right now and this is a shell of the team that has done so well this season. They enter here on a B2B and playing their third game in four nights. They had a big lead on Toronto yesterday but just fell apart in the second half, and we see that continuing here and the wrong team is favored. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Magic v. Pistons -2 | 92-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Two bad teams here but we think the Pistons are the better team. They have been more competitive overall, and the Magic come into this one very banged up. Detroit has covered in six of the last eight meetings, and we see them pulling away for a comfortable win in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Bradley v. Loyola-Chicago OVER 134 | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #683 Over in Bradley @ Loyola (4p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN+) The Braves have played over the posted total in 5 straight games. The Ramblers have played over the posted total in 7 of their last 8 home games. I expect both teams to reach 70 points in scoring and this game will go over the posted total. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M | 81-86 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #618 Texas A&M over Arkansas (1p.m., Saturday, January 8 SECN) The Aggies have an impressive 12-2 record, but their quality wins are lacking. But they are in much better shape than Arkansas is at the moment, as the Hogs have lost 4 of their last 5 games. They do not have many quality wins either and Coach Musselman has had to do down his twitter hype. Arkansas is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturdays. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Montana State +8 v. North Dakota State | Top | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 41 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308911 Montana State Bobcats over North Dakota State Bison (12p.m., Saturday, January 8 ESPN2) This line has been trending down and with this long of a layoff I expect his to be a low scoring competitive game. The over under in this game is just 42 points and that is a low total for a team to cover more than a touchdown spread. NDSU is solid on both sides of the football but their offense is not as dynamic as it has been in previous seasons. The Bobcats have the more impressive resume in 2021 with a ton of skill players. Montana State is starting a freshman quarterback but he has the ability to beat you with his legs and arm. Expect this to be a defensive battle and we will grab the points in this championship game. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Cavs v. Blazers +6 | 114-101 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
This is more of a bet against the Cavs than for the Blazers. Cleveland has been a team we have used a lot for picks this season with great results. They have been the top ATS team for most of the season. However, they have really struggled since Rubio went out for the season with injury. This team has covered just one of their last seven games. Portland is missing their two best players here, and they haven’t been good ATS either, but they are getting too many points at home for what looks like a very winnable game for them. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Hawks v. Lakers -2.5 | 118-134 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
The Lakers are relatively healthy compared to the Hawks, who have a very long injury list. The biggest stars for both teams are on the list tonight, but LeBron has a good chance to play. The Lakers have won and covered in four of five games and they are playing well right now. We normally rarely take the Lakers as they don’t often have betting value. But their current form, combined with this small number, make them a play tonight. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Kings +8.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 111-121 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
The Kings are definitely the more healthy team right now. This team has been back and forth and you kind of never know what you are going to get with them on a nightly basis. But they are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams, and we think they match up well tonight, especially against this inflated number. This is a winnable game for them. The Nuggets are coming off two consecutive losses, so they aren’t in top form. They also are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Wolves v. Thunder +6 | 135-105 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
We like to take the losing team when teams play consecutive games like this. OKC lost by eight in Minnesota on Wednesday. They got off to a real slow start in that game, being outscored 30-10 in the first quarter. But they outplayed the Wolves from there on out. And now they are the home team in this revenge spot and also one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 24-13 ATS. They are 12-5 ATS at home, so they rarely fail to cover here. They are also 6-0 ATS in their last six as a home dog. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Capitals -103 v. Blues | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
The Blues are getting hit by Covid issues while the Caps are likely getting some players back, and that bodes well for the road team here. Also boding well for the road team is the fact the Caps have been even better on the road than they have at home, and they are 10-3-3 in away games this season. Their road performance has been one of the big reasons they are one of the better betting teams this season, and we think they are ripe to pull the upset again. They are 4-1 in their last five as an underdog. The underdog is 4-0 in the last four meetings and the Capitals are 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Two very good teams here but Washington is a better one and playing on the road isn’t a big deal in the NHL. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Jazz v. Raptors -11 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Toronto has played as well as any team in the NBA recently. They have won four straight, all against playoff contenders, and they have covered five in a row. They have covered in nine of ten overall. Utah is absolutely decimated because of Covid right now and all their star players are out for this game. Toronto is barely above .500 on the season so they are not going to go into this one expecting an easy win and they should put their best foot forward, which they have been doing for every game recently. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Clippers +11 v. Suns | 89-106 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
The Clippers are getting more heathy while the Suns are going through Covid issues right now. We expect the road team to stay within double digits here. The Clippers recently beat the Nets on the road as huge underdogs, and that game wasn’t a fluke. But the Clippers haven’t been able to stay consistent. But they have had two nights off entering this game, so they are well rested. LA normally plays very well against Phoenix and they are 18-8 ATS in the last 26 meetings, including a blowout win last month in LA. We see the Clippers playing hard tonight and keeping this one close. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -2.5 | 78-87 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #804 Wisconsin over Iowa (9p.m., Thursday, January 6 FS1) Both teams played on Monday, but I am not sold on Iowa this season. They do not have the resume of Wisconsin and also do not have a lottery pick on their roster. Throw in the fact Wisconsin was upset about how they were screwed by the refs against Iowa last year and I believe they want to make a statement in this game. Johnny Davis is coming off a monster 37-point game last time out. Iowa has a big scorer as well in Keegan Murray, but they have lost to all 3 top teams they have played this season. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Iowa is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games following 3 or more consecutive home games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Pistons v. Grizzlies UNDER 218 | 88-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Pistons are a young but proud team. They have a history of playing well after a loss. And they had a very embarrassing loss last night. They have lost a bunch of games badly this season. This team is young in its rebuild, so that is going to happen. They don’t always give up 140 like they did last night at Charlotte, and we think they will really focus on tightening up the defense tonight, even if they have to slow the game down some. Memphis has gone under in four straight and they have been playing solid defense. We don’t see Detroit putting up a big number, and if they hang around in this game it will be on the strength of their defense. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Celtics v. Knicks UNDER 207.5 | 105-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Boston is coming in on a back-to-back after scoring only 97 in a home loss to San Antonio, and they will be taking a step up in defensive class tonight at New York. The Knicks have been playing excellent defense lately and they have held five of their last six opponents under the century mark. We feel there’s a good chance they do it again with Boston on a B2B. The under is 5-1 in the Knicks last six games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Sharks v. Sabres UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
San Jose has played a lot of over games recently, but thanks to that we are getting a fair number here on the under in what we expect should be a lower scoring game. Buffalo has gone over this total just twice in the last nine games. We think they will allow a couple goals here but we don’t see their offense doing too much today and they will have to rely on the defense if they want to be competitive here. These are two of the worst ranked offenses in the NHL for goals per game and we don’t see either team really breaking out here. Nice value on the under tonight as we don’t have to lay too much juice. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Raptors v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad/embarrassing loss, and that is the case here for the Bucks on Wednesday as they suffered an embarrassing home defeat last time out to the Pistons (they were 17-point favorites; we had the Pistons plus the points). That snapped a six-game winning streak. We think the Bucks are in a good spot to bounce back here. Toronto has been playing well but are coming in on a back-to-back. They have done well in these situations, but they become harder as the season wears on. This is also their third game in four nights, while the Bucks are well rested as they have had a much lighter schedule. But Milwaukee should be ultra motivated tonight. A big win here puts that Detroit loss well in the rearview mirror and can be chalked up as a bad night. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Blues v. Penguins -130 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
We have to roll with the NHL’s hottest team as the Pens have notched eight straight wins. They are coming off an eight-goal performance last time out against San Jose and their offense has been almost unstoppable during this win streak. St. Louis is 2-7 in their last nine road games and this team just hasn’t been playing well away from home overall despite winning the last two on the road. These are two very good teams but we see the Penguins rolling again here and we just don’t think the Blues will be able to match their offensive output here for this Wednesday matchup. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Bowling Green +8.5 v. Buffalo | 88-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #735 Bowling Green over Buffalo (7p.m., Wednesday, January 5 ESPN3) These two teams appear to be heading in opposite directions. The Falcons are not a top team in the MAC but they have won 5 of their last 6 games. Buffalo has lost three straight games and they might be playing this game without Josh Mballa. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +7.5 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
New Orleans has been playing some of the best basketball they have played this season and they have won five of their last eight SU. They fell back to earth a little bit, losing three of their last four. But we feel this is a good spot for them as a home underdog. The Suns have lost three of their last five and they have covered in only three of six. This team is facing Covid issues, while the Pelicans are relatively healthy. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Sharks v. Red Wings OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 28 h 37 m | Show |
Both teams have been trending to the over, and we expect the offenses to rule the ice here again on Tuesday. San Jose has given up 5 or more goals in three of their last four matchups. Six of their last nine games have gone over the posted total. Detroit has gone over in 8 of 10. The Wings have been struggling lately and we see them giving up a bunch of goals in this one, and we will go with the hotter side as the Sharks have looked good on offense recently. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs +7 v. Raptors | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
The Spurs were playing some of their best basketball of the season but then they had one of their games postponed, had a long layoff, and were rusty and lost their momentum. We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses. This team has one of the best coaches in the game and can get the team back on track quickly, and they have been one of the best ATS teams this season, and this line looks a couple points too high. Also we will take a crack at the under as we expected this total under 220 as the Raptors have one of the better defenses in the NBA. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors UNDER 225 | 104-129 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
The Spurs were playing some of their best basketball of the season but then they had one of their games postponed, had a long layoff, and were rusty and lost their momentum. We think this is a good bounce back spot and winnable game after three straight losses. This team has one of the best coaches in the game and can get the team back on track quickly, and they have been one of the best ATS teams this season, and this line looks a couple points too high.

|||||||
01-04-22 | Michigan v. Rutgers +4 | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #614 Rutgers over Michigan (7p.m., Tuesday, January 4 BTN) Michigan continues to be overvalued and I believe Rutgers is the more talented team. Getting points and playing at home is too good to pass up. Rutgers is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Look for this game to go down to the wire and Rutgers will pull it out by a bucket. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Pistons +16.5 v. Bucks | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Detroit is 7-4 ATS when catching double digit points. We always want to see if there is a chance for the underdog when catching this many points. The Pistons played well last time out in an OT upset win over the Spurs. Detroit has covered five of their last six on the road against quality opponents. Detroit is a team that plays hard despite a lack of talent. We see them possibly keeping this one around double digits. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Wisconsin +12.5 v. Purdue | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #867 Wisconsin over Purdue (7p.m., Monday, January 3 BTN) This is just too many points for a conference game, as both teams will be high seeds in the NCAA Tournament come March. The Badgers have won 8 of their last 9 games and should be able to keep this deficit around 7-10 points. They will be dominated in the paint but should be able to hold their own at the guard position. Wisconsin is 11-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 18 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Purdue is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

01-02-22 | Cardinals v. Cowboys OVER 51 | 25-22 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 20 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #109 Over in Arizona Cardinals @ Dallas Cowboys (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Arizona has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games played during the month of January. Dallas has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 13 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Cardinals v. Cowboys -5 | 25-22 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #110 Dallas Cowboys over Arizona Cardinals (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Arizona is in freefall at the moment and will travel to AT&T Stadium having lost 3 straight games. Their offense is not what is was earlier in the season and Dallas has a strong defense that can create turnovers. Dallas is coming off a dominating win last week against Washington and look for another double-digit victory Sunday afternoon in what will be a high scoring game. Arizona is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Dallas is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against NFC opponents. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -102 | 118 h 15 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #125 Detroit Lions over Seattle Seahawks (4:25p.m., Sunday, January 2 FOX) Seattle is coming off a bad loss to the Bears and the reality of a bad season is starting to set in with them. They have make major changes in the offseason and they do not even have their first round draft pick in 2022. Detroit has been more competitive of late winning against Arizona and should have won against Atlanta last Sunday. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Seattle is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played during the month of January. Seattle has too many issues on both sides of the football to be this big of a favorite. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Broncos v. Chargers -5.5 | 13-34 | Win | 101 | 118 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Los Angeles Chargers over Denver Broncos (4:05p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Denver has seen their playoff changes fall apart, losing 3 of their last 4 games. They now must play back-to-back road games and they will get an angry Chargers teams. Los Angeles is coming off a bad loss to Houston, but in typical Charger fashion expect them to win this game big. Denver has quarterback issues, and their head coach is fighting with players. Denver is 8-18 ATS in their last 26 divisional games. Los Angeles is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games played during the month of January. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | UCF v. SMU -4 | 60-72 | Win | 101 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #778 SMU over Central Florida (2p.m., Sunday, January 2 ESPNU) Two of the top teams in the AAC are set to do battle today in Dallas. The Mustangs will enter having won 7 straight games and all of those wins have come over today’s posted number. UFC is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. SMU is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning road record. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Chiefs v. Bengals OVER 49 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 115 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #115 Over in Kansas City Chiefs @ Cincinnati Bengals (1p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Both teams can light up the scoreboard and a top seed in the AFC is on the line when these two teams meet in the Queen City. Kansas City has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games played during the month of January. Cincinnati has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 home games. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Dolphins +3.5 v. Titans | 3-34 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #119 Miami Dolphins over Tennessee Titans (1p.m., Sunday, January 2 CBS) Both teams are coming off impressive wins, but the Dolphins are the hottest team in the league having won 7 straight games. Tennessee still is not the same team without Derrick Henry and I do not see them blowing out red-hot Miami team in this game. The Dolphins are 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 games as an underdog. The Titans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against the Dolphins. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | San Diego State -3 v. UNLV | 62-55 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #663 San Diego State over UNLV (4p.m., Saturday, January 1 CBS) The Rebels have a new coach and I do not believe they are ready yet to challenge for the top of the MWC. SDSU is always the team to beat and they want to open the season 1-0 in conference play. The Aztecs will enter having won their last 3 games and will pull away late to win this game by 7-10 points. SDSU is 17-6 ATS in their last 23 road games. UNLV is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Baylor v. Iowa State +9 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #624 Iowa State over Baylor (2p.m., Saturday, January 1 ESPNU) Iowa State has been one of the surprise teams thus far this season. Baylor is also undefeated and the defending National Champions but I do not believe they are as strong this season as they were last April. Iowa State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Kentucky -2.5 v. Iowa | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 91 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #279 Kentucky Wildcats over Iowa Hawkeyes (1p.m., Saturday, January 1 ABC) CITRUS BOWL Iowa got exposed for playing in the Big 10 West and expect Kentucky to beat them at their own game on Saturday. Kentucky has a better offense this year than they have had in past years and do not have to win games via a defensive struggle. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. Kentucky is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 nonconference games. |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Georgia v. Michigan +7.5 | 34-11 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #270 Michigan Wolverines over Georgia Bulldogs (7:30p.m., Friday, December 31 ESPN) ORANGE BOWL Georgia dominated a weak SEC East and they were exposed by Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Michigan passed both of their tests in the last two games of the regular season, and they are playing with confidence entering this game. Georgia will need to run the football to take pressure off Stetson Bennett, as I do not believe he will be up for this big of a game. The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight-up loss in their previous game. Michigan is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Cincinnati v. Alabama UNDER 57.5 | Top | 6-27 | Win | 100 | 69 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #273 Under in Cincinnati Bearcats vs Alabama Crimson Tide (Friday, December 31 3:30 p.m. ESPN) COTTON BOWL Cincinnati has been given little chance to win this game, but they are experienced on both sides of the football. Both teams feature a defensive minded head coach and I believe Cincinnati will have to keep the scoring low to have a chance to win this game. Cincinnati has gone under the posed total in 24 of their last 30 games (1 push) when they are an underdog. Alabama has gone under the posted total in 3 of their last 5 bowl games (1 push). |
|||||||
12-30-21 | Arizona State +6 v. Wisconsin | 13-20 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #261 Arizona State Sun Devils over Wisconsin Badgers (10:30p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN) LAS VEGAS BOWL All season long the metrics have overrated this Wisconsin team. Their quarterback struggled much of the season and if opponents can stop the run this team struggles to move the football. Jayden Daniels is playing in this game and he can beat you with his arm and his legs. Both teams are missing key players and thus I expect this to be a defensive battle that goes down to the wire. Wisconsin is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. Arizona State is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against Big 10 teams. |
|||||||
12-30-21 | Tenn-Martin +5.5 v. Austin Peay | 65-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #787 UT Martin over Austin Peay (8:30p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN+) The Skyhawks have played a tough schedule this year and thus their 4-8 record does not indicate how good they are in the OVC. The Governors are coming off 3 straight losses and this will be their first home game since December 5th. I do not see them running away with this game. Austin Peay is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-30-21 | Purdue v. Tennessee -4.5 | Top | 48-45 | Loss | -110 | 215 h 33 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #257 Tennessee Volunteers over Purdue Boilermakers (3p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN) MUSIC CITY BOWL Just believe Purdue underachieved this season and now will be without David Bell and George Karlaftis for this game. Throw in the face this game is played in Nashville giving the Volunteers a big home field advantage and I expect Tennessee to win this game by double-digits. Purdue was in this same bowl in 2018 and got run over by a so-so SEC team and that same situation presents itself on Thursday. Tennessee held their own in the SEC West and has a first year head coach that wants to finish off the season the right way. They have won 3 of their last 4 games (only loss to Georgia) and should be able to outscore Purdue in this game. Purdue struggles to score points and they need their defense to create situations for their offense. Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Big 10 teams. Purdue is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 bowl games. |
|||||||
12-29-21 | Mavs v. Kings OVER 219.5 | 94-95 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
Dallas has been one of the best under teams all season, but the lines have dropped and they have picked up the pace, and the over has now hit in four of five for them. They face a bad defense tonight, and they should put up a nice share of points to get this one over the number. Dallas scored 116 and 132 in their last two games. Sacramento has one of the worst defenses in the league. Yet they have a Top 10 offense. We think both teams get their points tonight in what looks like a close game. |
|||||||
12-29-21 | Tennessee v. Alabama -2.5 | 68-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Alabama over Tennessee (9p.m., Wednesday, December 29 ESPN2) Just not a fan of Tennessee this year despite their 9-2 record. Alabama has a great win over Gonzaga but they faltered in two of their last three games. They do not want to lose this game at home and expect them to comeback strong tonight. Tennessee is 4-11 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 17 games played on Wednesdays. Alabama is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on Wednesdays. |

12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn OVER 142.5 | 55-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #659 Over in LSU @ Auburn (7p.m., Wednesday, December 29 ESPN2) Auburn is playing at home and expect them to dictate the tempo in this game. LSU has gone over the posted total in 37 of their last 52 road games. Auburn has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 12 home games when they are the favorite. This battle of Tigers will be high scoring. |

12-29-21 | Arkansas v. Mississippi State -3 | 68-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #696 Mississippi State over Arkansas (5p.m., Wednesday, December 29 SECN) Just do not believe Arkansas is that good or talented this season. They have one quality win from their 10 and will enter having lost two of their last three games. The Bulldogs have played a more challenging schedule and their 9-3 record is pretty good. This game is more important to State, as they do not want to lose conference home games against similar competition. Look for the Bulldogs to pull away late and win this game by 6-8 points. |
|||||||
12-28-21 | Cavs -4.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Cleveland is by far the best ATS team in the NBA, and they still hold value in the odds as the public bettors are not big on this team with the absence of any big stars. But this team plays great fundamental basketball and strong defense, and they are absolutely a playoff team and one that could put a scare into one of the contenders. They are on a different level then the Pels, and we see another comfortable win SU and ATS here as the odds are in our favor again. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Nets v. Clippers +4 | 124-108 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Paul George is out for a while, but we think this Clippers team will be a good Buy Low option in the coming weeks. This team has playoff talent without Kawhi and George, and their role players will need to step up in the absence of their stars. We think these guys will elevate their games, and we see this as a coin flip game tonight, so getting this many points with the home dog provides solid value. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Jazz v. Spurs +7.5 | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Jazz are on an 0-5 ATS slide and the oddsmakers have them overvalued at the moment compared to their play on the court. They have been winning but not blowing teams out, and their best player should be sidelined tonight. The Spurs have been extremely impressive recently, and they have one of the best coaches in the league who can keep this team motivated instead of being Fat and Happy after a few wins. We think the home team has a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets UNDER 235 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
We expect a close game here and we think the total is way too high. These teams don’t play often, but they have a strong history to the under as 21 of the last 29 meetings have gone under the posted number. We had the number handicapped at 228, and we expect the Hornets to have a letdown game here as they haven’t played at home a in a long time (Dec 10 was their last home game), and the first game back home after a long layoff can be a tricky spot for the home team. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Western Michigan v. Nevada +7 | 52-24 | Loss | -110 | 139 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #234 Nevada Wolf Pack over Western Michigan Broncos (11a.m., Monday, December 27 ESPN) QUICK LANE BOWL This line has swung two touchdowns with Nevada being without their coach and quarterback. But this is still an early start again and is just an average team from a weaker conference. Nevada has a coaching staff that wants to make a name for themselves and I believe they can make this game competitive. Western Michigan is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Nevada is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Pistons v. Spurs -11 | 109-144 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play #542 Take San Antonio over Detroit (7 p.m. EST, Sunday Dec 26) The Spurs became Los Angeles legends before the Xmas break by beating both the Lakers and Clippers for the last official games at Staples Center before the name change. Both games were impressive blowouts. You might think the Xmas break would stymie momentum, but this team has one of the best coaches in the NBA and we think they will keep the positive momentum going against one of the worst teams in the NBA, who are probably going to be distracted playing away from home on the day after a holiday. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Broncos +1 v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #477 Denver Broncos over Las Vegas Raiders (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 26 CBS) Both teams must win this game to keep their playoff changes alive, but I just trust the Broncos more in this game. Denver will likely have Drew Lock as quarterback, but I do not see much off a drop-off with him compared to Teddy Bridgewater. Las Vegas is just 3-4 at Allegiant Stadium this season and Denver is 6-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 road games. Denver has not had good success against Las Vegas in recent years, but they will turn the tide on Sunday. Las Vegas is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Ravens +2.5 v. Bengals | 21-41 | Loss | -105 | 116 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #465 Baltimore Ravens over Cincinnati Bengals (1p.m., Sunday, December 26 CBS) The AFC North continues to be bunched up and Baltimore cannot afford to get swept by Cincinnati in 2021. Baltimore has lost 3 consecutive games by a total of 4 points and I feel this game will go down to the wire as well. Cincinnati is banged up at linebacker and I like how the Ravens defense played against Aaron Rodgers last week. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between Baltimore and Cincinnati. The Bengals are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Bills v. Patriots -2 | 33-21 | Loss | -110 | 116 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #472 New England Patriots over Buffalo Bills (1p.m., Sunday, December 26 CBS) Just do not believe Buffalo is mentally tough enough to win this game. New England already won at Buffalo by hardly throwing a pass in that game and I feel they will sweep the season series against the Bills. Buffalo is both on both lines of scrimmage and I feel that will be the difference in this game. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. New England is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. The Patriots take control of the division and win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Mavs v. Jazz UNDER 214 | Top | 116-120 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
Dallas is one of the top under teams in the NBA at 20-10-1 for the under. The oddsmakers are scared to post too low totals with this team, and we will continue to take advantage. They are facing the league’s best offense tonight, but Dallas plays at the slowest pace in the NBA, and they will slow the game down tonight to give themselves the best chance to be competitive, especially with their best offensive player sidelined. These are also two Top 8 defenses, so we don’t expect either team to have a crazy offensive day. We think the most likely two scenarios here are that Dallas slows down the game and plays strong defense to keep this close or that the Jazz blow them out and keep them to a real low score. We think both scenarios play well for the under. Three straight meetings between these teams have gone under the posted total, and we see that trend continuing here on the Christmas nightcap. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Colts v. Cardinals | Top | 22-16 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 46 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #257 Tennessee Volunteers over Purdue Boilermakers (3p.m., Thursday, December 30 ESPN) MUSIC CITY BOWL Just believe Purdue underachieved this season and now will be without David Bell and George Karlaftis for this game. Throw in the face this game is played in Nashville giving the Volunteers a big home field advantage and I expect Tennessee to win this game by double-digits. Purdue was in this same bowl in 2018 and got run over by a so-so SEC team and that same situation presents itself on Thursday. Tennessee held their own in the SEC West and has a first year head coach that wants to finish off the season the right way. They have won 3 of their last 4 games (only loss to Georgia) and should be able to outscore Purdue in this game. Purdue struggles to score points and they need their defense to create situations for their offense. Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Big 10 teams. Purdue is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 bowl games. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Thunder +15 v. Suns | Top | 101-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
Whenever an NBA team is catching this many points, you have to take a look at the underdog and see if there is a good chance they can cover. We can cover this line even in a blowout. And we think the Thunder are primed to cover tonight. OKC is the No. 3 ATS team in the NBA at 19-11 ATS. They are even better than the Suns, who have been great ATS also. Even though the Thunder are on a B2B, they have a favorable injury report tonight (good thing there is no nightlife in OKC!). They are also in good form as they have won three straight SU and covered in four straight ATS. All of those wins came against playoff contenders. This is a letdown spot for the Suns. Phoenix played the Lakers last time out, and they are preparing for their rematch against the Warriors on Christmas. So they probably won’t give full effort here against OKC. And we think the Thunder will play hard here against the best team in the NBA. OKC has a strong betting history here as they have covered in seven of the last nine meetings. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Northern Iowa +125 v. Wyoming | 69-71 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #819 Northern Iowa over Wyoming (6:30p.m., Thursday, December 23 ESPNU) The Panthers have been one of the more disappointing teams in the country this season. They have experience and sooner or later they will put it all together. Wyoming is 10-22 ATS in their last 32 neutral site games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Liberty +115 v. Stanford | 76-79 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #817 Liberty over Stanford (4p.m., Thursday, December 23 ESPN2) Stanford has never been able to get it done under Coach Jerod Haase and this year appears to be no different. Liberty is coming off a nice win yesterday against Norther Iowa and look for them to reach the finals on Saturday. Stanford is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Clippers -5.5 v. Kings | Top | 105-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
We like to take a good team after a bad loss. We aren’t sure yet if this Clippers team is a good team or not yet, as they have looked great one night then awful the next. But last game out this team suffered a really embarrassing home loss to the Spurs. The team flat out did not show up to the arena, and Coach Lue made it known he wasn’t happy with the effort. We expect a strong effort here, and Paul George has a game under his belt to get back in the groove. Not to mention the Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Sacramento. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | San Diego v. UNLV -8.5 | 57-80 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #786 UNLV over San Diego (10p.m., Wednesday, December 22 YUEVIEW) The Rebels will enter this game having won 3 straight games, all of which came over tonight’s posted number. San Diego scores just over 67 points per game meaning the really try and slow down the tempo. They go blown out by Fresno State and I see this game being a double-digit deficit as well. San Diego is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Cavs +5.5 v. Celtics | 101-111 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The Cavs have now covered in 14 straight games! And here we see them as an underdog again against the underperforming Celtics. Both teams have a grocery list sized injury report as most of the teams in the NBA are being wracked by Covid. But the Cavs have played great team basketball and this team doesn’t have any stars anyways. They have been playing hard every game as evidenced by their stellar ATS record, and they are getting too many points again today in a game either team could win. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Suns -6.5 v. Lakers | 108-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
The Lakers are the worst ATS team in the NBA, and they are playing the NBA’s best team to this point of the season. The Lakers have a long list of players out due to covid or injury, and the Suns should have all their stars tonight. The Lakers are the worst ATS team because they aren’t that good this season but also they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and we think that is the case tonight as we thought this line should be closer to double digits. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Wolves v. Mavs -1 | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
These teams played Sunday and it was a pretty strong game for both teams. We are going with the Zig Zag theory here for the rematch. When teams play consecutive games here, especially mid-tier teams, and there is a change of venue where the losing team is now at home, they normally have a great chance to win the game. We see that happening here. Key players are out for both teams and we expect a low scoring game. |

12-21-21 | San Diego State v. UTSA UNDER 50 | Top | 38-24 | Loss | -110 | 171 h 14 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #223 Under in San Diego State Aztecs vs UTSA Roadrunners (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 21 ESPN) San Diego State has a great defense and a terrible offense. That sets up a strong play with the under in this game. UTSA has gone under the posted total in 12 of their last 16 games (1 push) in their last 16 games following an ATS win in their previous game. SDSU has gone under the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games played as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Delaware v. Iona -6.5 | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #652 Iona over Delaware (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 21 ESPN3) Iona is one of the top mid-majors in the country and they have a shot to receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. They will enter having won 3 straight games, all of which came over tonight’s posted number. Delaware is 9-3 on the season but they do not have any quality wins and a couple of bad losses. This game is at UBS Arena, which is only 20 miles from the Iona campus. The Gaels are 9-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -4.5 | 116-92 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Spurs come in on a B2B and playing their third game in four nights. The Clippers are desperate for a win as they have dropped two straight after a four-game winning streak. And they could be getting Paul George back tonight for this one, and he will be fresh if not rusty. But he will be the best player on the court. The Clippers have covered in five of six meetings and they have won three straight. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +3.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -100 | 148 h 2 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #332 Chicago Bears over Minnesota Vikings (8:15p.m., Monday, December 20 ESPN) Just do not trust the Vikings in this situation on the road. Minnesota is 7-13 ATS in their last 20 games at Soldier Field. Chicago looked good against the Packers in the first half before falling apart in the second half. QB Cousins usually does not play well in primetime games and I see this one going down to the wire as well. Minnesota is 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games played on Monday. Chicago is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Eastern Michigan v. Valparaiso OVER 138 | 55-67 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #855 Over in Eastern Michigan @ Valparaiso (7p.m., Monday, December 20 ESPN3) The Eagles are an over team having gone over the posted total in 19 of their last 26 games. Look for them to play up-tempo again on Monday and expect both teams to reach the 70s in scoring. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Lakers v. Bulls -6 | Top | 110-115 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
The Bulls are as rested as any team in the NBA at this point in the season as their last game was over a week ago. Both teams are still having Covid issues, but the Lakers will also be without AD, who is now out for a month at least. And Chicago is getting some players back in the mix for tonight. The Lakers roster is thin anyways, and chemistry is a major issue here. The Bulls will be excited to get back on the court, and that should be reflected in the final score. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Colgate +6.5 v. Monmouth | 66-77 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306195 Colgate +6.5 over Monmouth (2p.m., Sunday, December 19 ESPN3) We will grab the points in this game and expect it to go down to the wire. The Hawks have not played a home game in nearly a month and usually when that happens a team comes out flat. Colgate is 21-10 ATS in their last 31 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |

12-19-21 | Panthers v. Bills -10 | Top | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 117 h 49 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #308 Buffalo Bills over Carolina Panthers (1p.m., Sunday, December 19 FOX) The Bills have been struggling of late but Carolina should allow them to get back on track. When Buffalo wins games this season it tends to come via blowouts and today should be no different. Buffalo is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against NFC teams. Carolina has lost 3 straight games and 8 of their last 10 overall. All of Buffalo’s 7 wins this season have come by at least 15 points, over today’s posted number. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Baylor v. Oregon +7 | Top | 78-70 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #708 Oregon over Baylor (10p.m., Saturday, December 18 ESPN2) On paper this is a pick’em game. Oregon may have better talent, but they have not played like it so far in 2021-2022. That being said, I just do not see them getting run off their homecourt by a team playing their first true road game of the season. Oregon has looked awful at times this season, but they are 5-1 at home and Coach Altman knows the importance of this game. Baylor played their best game of the season last time out against Villanova (a team that may be vastly overrated), but I think that works to our advantage in this game. They are not as talented as they were last year, and it is hard to imagine they can play that well again against a desperate team. Laying points on the road is always tough and I feel this game will go down to the wire and we will collect with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Cavs -2.5 v. Bucks | Top | 119-90 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
Cleveland has covered in three straight games. And it looks like they have another juicy line here for Saturday. They are well rested, while the Bucks are coming in on a B2B. The Bucks are likely to be shorthanded again tonight, while the Cavs are relatively healthy. Not only did the Bucks play last night, but they went to OT where they lost in New Orleans. This is just a bad spot for the home team and we think Cleveland will keep the momentum going tonight. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Wizards +10 v. Jazz | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
The Wizards haven’t been playing well lately. But this spread is just too good to pass up. Utah looked in bad form last night in a home loss to San Antonio. Their offense once again did well, but their defense didn’t play up to standards. Now they are on a B2B against a Wizards team that was off on Friday. This is the most points the Wizards have gotten as an underdog this season, and we think this is a couple too many points. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts -2 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 100 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #312 Indianapolis Colts over New England Patriots (8:20p.m., Saturday, December 18 NFLN) The Patriots have been on a roll and will enter this game having won 7 straight games. But I believe that the right team is favored, as Indianapolis needs this game more. RB Taylor has been on quite a roll of his own, scoring a touchdown in 10 straight games. The Colts have covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 games. New England is not going to run the table the rest of the regular season and a loss here might do them some good in the long run. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between New England and Indianapolis. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Knicks v. Celtics -4.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
The Celtics are on a back-to-back, but they were well rested coming into last night’s game so this isn’t your normal B2B. And they are 4-2 SU and ATS in B2B situations regardless this season. They were a bit rusty to start the game last night due to that time off and could never catch up through they played well at the end, and we think that positive momentum will carry over here tonight. New York doesn’t have a quality win yet this month, and we don’t see it happening tonight. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | UAB +7 v. BYU | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 95 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #211 UAB Blazers over BYU Cougars (3:30p.m., Saturday, December 18 ABC) BYU is the better team and had the better season, but that does not mean much in these lesser bowl games. The Cougars are disappointed to be playing in this bowl game and I just do not believe their players and staff are motivated to be playing in Shreveport, LA. BYU is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played during the month of December. UAB will have the crowd edge and should be able to take this game down to the wire. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | UTEP +12.5 v. Fresno State | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #209 UTEP Miners over Fresno State Bulldogs (2:15p.m., Saturday, December 18 ESPN) Fresno State likely believes they belong in a better bowl game, but the MWC has agreements with a lot of bad bowl games. Throw in the fact they lost coach and some staff to Washington, and we will grab the points in this game. UTEP did not finish up the regular season well, but some time off will do them good in this game. Fresno State is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Lakers v. Wolves -2 | 92-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
The Wolves are healthy while the Lakers injury list looks as long as a grocery list. They have key players out because of Covid, and everyone else is banged up at the very least. This is already a thin team in terms of depth, and the Wolves will want to perform well here as it is always an important game when the Lakers come to town. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Grizzlies -6.5 v. Kings | 124-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies have figured it out and are playing some of the best basketball in the NBA right now even without their best player. They don’t seem to have a letdown game too often, and they are playing great team basketball and their offense is in rhythm. They far outclass the Kings, who look to be in for another poor season. We will go with the hot team here again tonight. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Spurs v. Jazz OVER 226 | 128-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
These are two very good offensive teams. Utah is the No. 1 offense in the NBA, and they have been especially explosive lately. They have scored 118 or more in six of seven games. We don’t think they will have any problem putting up 120 tonight on this Spurs defense. San Antonio is No. 11 in the NBA for points scored, so they will be able to keep up and contribute their part to get this one over the total. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Nuggets v. Hawks -2.5 | 133-115 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
The Nuggets have generally been playing above their heads most of the last month despite some key injuries. Kudos to them. We think this might be a time to fade them for a bit moving forward. They obviously have respect from the oddsmakers. But they played really bad last time out in a blowout to a divisional opponent (Minnesota) at home. Now they face a much better team on the road. And we are getting a nice line here because the Hawks haven’t played their best. But we expect them to use this game to build their first win streak of the month. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Warriors v. Celtics +4 | 111-107 | Push | 0 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Golden State has covered only one of their last four, and we think they have cooled off a bit and they are still saddled with shading from the oddsmakers. Boston is coming in well rested and they just knocked of Milwaukee at home. This team has a penchant for getting up against top teams at home, and we think they will be very motivated for the outright win here. Boston has covered in four of the last five meetings. |
|||||||
12-17-21 | Richmond v. NC State +2 | 83-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 NC State over Richmond (6:30p.m., Friday, December 17 ACCN) Not sure why Richmond is favored in this game since they are a disappointment again in 2021. They have a coach that is always on the hot seat and are facing a team from the ACC that just took Purdue to the wire (should have won that game). The Spiders are 5-14 ATS (4 pushes) in their last 23 games played on Friday. The Wolfpack are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on Friday. |
|||||||
12-16-21 | 76ers +1.5 v. Nets | Top | 105-114 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Philly hasn’t been playing great basketball lately, and they are on a back-to-back, but this is a great chance for a win for them and they are the kind of team that can take advantage. The Nets have seven players out for Covid protocols right now and they had to sign someone off the streets to get to the league minimum of eight players to play this game. The situation is so dire and we doubt we will see Durant play super heavy minutes here. So the Sixers have a great chance for a pretty easy win, and we had them laying five points here in our handicapping. They have lost three of four so a win is important. The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games, and we don’t expect things to go well for them tonight with this very limited roster. |

12-15-21 | Grizzlies -3 v. Blazers | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies are quietly getting the job done and playing their best basketball of the season. They have won 8 of 9 and are covering in a lot of those games. The Blazers have been very cold as they are 1-9 in their last 10 SU. They have had a very tough schedule, but this game will be tough for them as well. Especially since they are on a back-to-back after taking the Suns to overtime last night, and this is a game they exerted a lot of energy in. We don’t expect them to have much left in the tank for a game that probably isn’t as important to them as the one they played last night. |

12-15-21 | New Mexico State v. Washington State UNDER 136.5 | 64-61 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #685 Under in New Mexico State @ Washington State (10p.m., Wednesday, December 15) Look for the Cougars to controlling the pace of this game and keeping the score in the sixties. Washington State has gone under the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games. New Mexico State has gone under the posted total in 23 of their last 31 games when they are an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

12-15-21 | Lakers v. Mavs UNDER 213.5 | Top | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
We have been taking a lot of Dallas unders lately but not even enough. That’s because the Mavs have hit seven straight unders. And the Lakers have hit four straight. So the trends are pointing in the right direction. The Lakers have been playing very good defense lately and their offense has been inconsistent. Dallas had been better defensively and worse offensively. We think this total should have been in the 210s, so the value is here. Also, both squads have important players on the injury list, so don’t wait for this bet because the line could plummet down. |

12-15-21 | Rockets v. Cavs -8.5 | 89-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Both these teams have been as hot as can be ATS with the Rockets at 9-1 ATS in their last 10 and the Cavs 10-0 ATS. So somethings got to give. We think the chances of this being a blowout outweigh it being a close game. The Rockets got hot and have had some solid wins, but many of their recent games have come against questionable teams. Cleveland right now isn’t questionable and this team is quietly playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. Cleveland hasn’t been overlooking opponents, and we see another cover coming tonight. |

12-14-21 | Alabama v. Memphis +3.5 | 78-92 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Memphis over Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, December 14 ESPN) The Crimson Tide have been running the gauntlet of late with back-to-back wins over top teams in Gonzaga and Houston. This is a prime spot for a letdown against a team that is desperate for a win. Memphis has been one of the more disappointing teams in 2021-2022 and they need to start racking up quality wins if they hope to make the NCAA Tournament come March. |

12-13-21 | Suns -3 v. Clippers | Top | 95-111 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
Both teams have key players that may or may not miss this game. But the Suns have been playing amazing team basketball all season and they are better built to weather the storm of injuries than the Clippers, a team still very much trying to figure things out. LA has been playing better recently, but they don’t seem to be a match for the Suns, and this spread is more than fair for the visitors. And, also, even though Pat Bev doesn’t play for the Clippers any more, Chris Paul will be motivated against his old team because of history and also that Pat Bev shove in the back in the postseason last year. |

12-13-21 | Rhode Island v. Wisc-Milwaukee +7.5 | 82-58 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #878 Milwaukee over Rhode Island (8p.m., Monday, December 13 ESPN+) The Panthers have been competitive in most of their games despite a 2-7 record and I believe they can take this game down to the wire as well. Laying this many points in a true road game is always a tough bet for the favorite and tonight will be no different. The Rams are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Pelicans v. Spurs -2 | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
The Spurs have covered in five straight meetings and six of seven. Both teams here play bad defense, and we see a high scoring game. But the Spurs are good offensively, and we expect them to put up a big number on offense tonight. These teams have similar records, but the Spurs are the better team, and we expect them to take care of business here at home. |

12-12-21 | Pelicans v. Spurs OVER 219.5 | 97-112 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
The Spurs have covered in five straight meetings and six of seven. Both teams here play bad defense, and we see a high scoring game. But the Spurs are good offensively, and we expect them to put up a big number on offense tonight. These teams have similar records, but the Spurs are the better team, and we expect them to take care of business here at home. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Nets v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 116-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
The Nets have had trouble here in recent meetings as they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five in Detroit. Harden for the Nets will be out for rest, and that tells us that the Nets aren’t taking this game too seriously. Brooklyn is 3-8 ATS in this spread range they see themselves in tonight, and they are just 2-4 ATS on the road against sub-.500 teams. That shows us that this team loses focus in situations like this. Detroit is a bad team but they play hard and they have a habit of covering as a decent sized underdog. We expect a close game here tonight. |

12-12-21 | Bills v. Bucs -3 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 120 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #126 Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 12 CBS) Buffalo is coming off a bad loss to New England on Monday Night Football and now must travel to face one of the top teams in the league. The favorite is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between the Bills and Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is 12-3 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 17 games played during the month of December. The Bills chances of winning the NFC East are low and this team will be lucky to make the playoffs as a wild card. |

12-12-21 | Villanova v. Baylor -3.5 | 36-57 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #748 Baylor over Villanova (3p.m., Sunday, December 12 ABC) Would be on Villanova if this was a neutral site game, but I just do not see Baylor going down in Waco to anyone this season. The Bears are the defending champion and are perfect this season. The Wildcats have lost to the top teams that they have faced this season and today should be no different. Villanova is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. Baylor is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. |
