---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12-07-23 | Sharks v. Red Wings OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
San Jose averaged a little over half a goal on the road headed into this road trip and hadn’t scored more than one goal in a road game this season. But all the sudden their offense is looking like the Oilers in their prime. They have averaged five goals per game in their last three, not including overtime, and two of those games were against strong defensive teams, the two NY clubs. Their defense has given up four goals per game on this road trip. We think they will continue to see success on offense and expect another high scoring game here. |
|||||||
12-07-23 | Pacers v. Bucks -5 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
We were unsure how serious teams would take the in season tournament, but some teams did take it seriously, and now that we are close to the finals we think teams will start to take it very seriously. And while the Pacers are a very solid club and their offense is almost unprecedented, with both teams playing at their best, we think Milwaukee is the much better team. They had some new pieces to acclimate on the team but you get the sense recently this team is turning the corner. They scored their highest point total of the season last time out, 146-122, against the Knicks in tourney action. New York is one of the best defensive teams in the league. While it might not be evident when looking at final scores, they have been improving on the defensive side. The Pacers are all offense but not defense. The Bucks can match the Pacers on offense but they have a defensive edge that will be the difference in this game in Las Vegas today. |
|||||||
12-06-23 | South Carolina +8.5 v. Clemson | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #717 South Carolina over Clemson (8p.m., Wednesday, December 6 ACCN) This battle of South Carolina should be closer than what the experts believe. Both teams are undefeated and I just do not see a double digit victory for the home team. Carolina already has some major conference wins against Virginia Tech, DePaul, and Notre Dame. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Devils v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Four straight meetings have gone over the posted total, and we expect a very competitive game here and a shootout. These teams have combined to go 32-13 to the over this season. The Devils have gone over in four straight games. These are two Top 4 offensive teams for goals scored. We see both teams getting at least three goals here, and the winner could score well above that. The winner when these teams have met has had at least five goals for the last four meetings. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Knicks +5.5 v. Bucks | 122-146 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
The Bucks are still a work in progress and we feel this team is focused on building a team that will win a championship once the postseason comes around and we aren’t sure how invested they are in the in-season tournament. Last meeting the Bucks were hitting their threes at a very high rate and still didn’t blow the Knicks out. We expect a close game here and the Bucks are weak defensively but they are going to put up points. |
|||||||
12-05-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Michigan State | 70-57 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #611 Wisconsin over Michigan State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 5 Peacock) These two teams have had great battles over the last decade and many of those games have come down to the wire. Michigan State is not the same team as they will be later in the year and they have lost to every good team that they have played this season. Expect a low scoring game and getting over 5 points is too good to pass up with this veteran Wisconsin team. |
|||||||
12-04-23 | Capitals v. Coyotes UNDER 5.5 | 0-6 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Washington is 15-6 to the under this season and we think this is a trend that could stay strong all season. They play great defense, their offense leave a lot to be desired, but they find ways to win. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Arizona and 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings. Arizona has been playing very good defense lately. |
|||||||
12-04-23 | Celtics v. Pacers OVER 242.5 | 112-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Boston dropped 155 on the Pacers when these teams played last month, and even if they don’t score that much, we still think they are going to put up a big number on offense. We also think the Pacers will be much more competitive in this game. They scored only 104 in that game, one of their lowest outputs on offense this season. Seven of the last 10 meetings have gone over the posted number. |
|||||||
12-03-23 | Cardinals v. Steelers -5.5 | 24-10 | Loss | -109 | 119 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #458 Pittsburgh Steelers over Arizona Cardinals (1p.m., Sunday, December 3 CBS) The Cardinals are not very good, and I believe that the Steelers were rejuvenated last week with a road win and a new offensive coordinator. This will be a tough task for Arizona to win a road game in the northeast in December when it will be cold outside. Pittsburgh has beaten Arizona four straight times (4-0 ATS) including in the super bowl. The Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Pittsburgh is due for a blowout win and it will come on Sunday by double digits. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Rangers -135 v. Predators | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
The Rangers might prefer the road more than home ice. They have two more wins on the road vs. at home. Nashville has been streaky and they ended their six-game winning streak last time out in an embarrassing home loss to Minnesota. Things won’t get any easier today. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -4.5 | 112-113 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
This is the second of a home-and-home and we think the Clippers will come out on top in the rematch, with style points. This team is healthy and this is the longest stretch PG and Leonard have played together since they joined the Clippers. Chemistry seems to be improving for between the players. The Warriors are a bit banged up here, and it’s tough to beat a team twice in a row. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama +6 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 98 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #318 Alabama Crimson Tide over Georgia Bulldogs (4p.m., Saturday, December 2 CBS) SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME This likely will be a winner take all game, as Alabama looks to unseat Georgia for the second time in the last 3 SEC Championship games. Alabama was fortunate to survive last week against Auburn, but I believe they will take that momentum into this game. I believe Alabama has the better quarterback in this game, as Jalen Milroe can beat you with his arm or his legs. Alabama’s offense live has been playing much better of late and I just believe Georgia lost too much talent from last year to run the table in 2023 without suffering a loss. Georgia has played an easy schedule this season without having to face Oklahoma in the nonconference portion of the season and they will hit adversity in this game. Alabama has won 7 of the last 8 games in this matchup and they will win and march onto the College Football Playoff. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Boise State -2 v. UNLV | 44-20 | Win | 100 | 97 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #313 Boise State Broncos over UNLV Rebels (3p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) MOUNTAIN WEST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Who would have believed at the start of that UNLV would be hosting the Mountain West Championship Game! Now they get to face the best team in the league since they joined the Mountain West and look for Boise State to finish the season with 4 straight wins. The Broncos have seen much improvement since making a coaching change and UNLV is coming off a bad home loss to San Jose State last time out. UNLV has overachieved much of the season but look for them to come back to reality on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | North Dakota State v. Montana State -2.5 | 35-34 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #308962 Montana St -2.5 over North Dakota St (3:00p.m., Saturday December 2 ESPN+) FCS Playoffs. Completely shocked on why this game dropped to 2.5 and as I type one book moved to -2 so maybe wait to throw down on some FCS Playoff game. Both teams can score and score quickly but in the second half is when I see the Bobcats control the game and again, I'm laying this low number. As long as the Bobcats can control the Bison QB Cam Miller I see them advancing in the FCS Playoffs. |
|||||||
12-02-23 | Marquette v. Wisconsin +3.5 | 64-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin over Marquette (12:30p.m., Saturday, December 2 FOX) Gettting a field goal with a home underdog is too good to pass up. Wisconsin beat Marquette last year in Milwaukee and they return everyone from that squad. The Badgers need this game more, since they do not have many quality wins on the season. Look for Wisconsin to use their size down low and they will win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Connecticut v. Kansas -2.5 | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #878 Kansas over Connecticut (9p.m., Friday, December 1 ESPN2) Connecticut has played a weak schedule thus far but it is going to get hard the next two games against Kansas and North Carolina. Playing in Kansas is always a tough task and look for the Jayhawks to emerge victorious since they have a great home court edge. |
|||||||
12-01-23 | Oregon v. Washington +10 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 44 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306 Washington Huskies over Oregon Ducks (8p.m., Friday, December 1 ABC) PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHP GAME All the value is now with Washington, as this line skyrocketed over the weekend with the performance Washington had in the Apple Cup. People are lining up to bet Oregon and this line is just too high in my opinion. Washington already beat Oregon once this season and they have a fully capable quarterback that can match Bo Nix stat for stat. The Huskies have the motivation to play well since they will be hearing all week that they do not have any chance to win this game. Washington has a long winning streak and many of their games stay under the posted total allowing a strong play with a live underdog. Oregon does not have many quality wins this season, they just pass the eye test. That will not be enough to blow out Washington. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
We like to back a good team off an embarrassing loss, and we aren’t sure the Clippers are a good team but they have talent that can’t be denied. They had one of their worst losses of the Kawhi era last time out against a banged up Denver squad. We think they will give max effort here against a Kings squad that played a tough game last night. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Tennessee v. North Carolina -2 | 92-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #678 North Carolina over Tennessee (7:15p.m., Wednesday, November 29 ESPN) Always like to play North Carolina at home in the nonconference portion of the season. Tennessee has issues and went 1-2 in Hawaii. Carolina went 2-1 in the Bahamas and playing this game at home is a big advantage. Tennessee struggled to score points in Hawaii, and I see them losing this game by close to double digits on Wednesday. |
|||||||
11-29-23 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -123 | 4-2 | Loss | -123 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Columbus is actually playing playoff-caliber hockey the last few games. They are 3-1 in their last four and just sent Boston home with their tails between their legs. Their lone loss was at Carolina and they played well enough to win in a one-goal road loss. Montreal has won two of their last seven, but those wins came against San Jose (SO) and Anaheim by one, so not impressed. The Canadiens have won only two of their last 10 visits here. |
|||||||
11-28-23 | Rider v. Maryland -16.5 | 76-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #606 Maryland over Rider (7p.m., Tuesday, November 18 BTN+) The Terrapins sit at 3-3 on the season and need to string together some nonconference wins to get a more respectable record. Tonight, should be a perfect opportunity for a 20+ point victory. Rider is a terrible team that will enter having lost 4 straight games and are just collecting check with 6 straight road games. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -5.5 | Top | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Sixers have won nine of the last 10 meetings and covered in seven of those games. The Sixers are a more complete team at this point of the season. The Lakers two stars are banged up for this game, and LeBron could miss the game. We like the Sixers for a big win whether LeBron and AD play or not. Every team gives their best effort against the Lakers, but this is just another game for LA, who is trying to work out the kinks. This team is definitely focused on the postseason more than the regular season. Philly has been one of the best betting teams this season, and they are undervalued again today. |
|||||||
11-27-23 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Boston didn’t win the cup last season, but this is the team that most opponents get hyped to play. Are you going to get more hyped if Boston or Vegas comes to town? The answer is obvious. Columbus is playing their best hockey of the season recently. They have won two of the last three, including a road win in New Jersey, and they have covered the puckline in five of their last seven losses. The Bruins are playing their worst stretch of hockey recently. They have lost three of the last four. Their defense has dropped from the No. 1 spot after allowing 12 goals in their last two games. The Blue Jackets have won of covered the puckline in three of the last four visits from the Bruins. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Ducks v. Oilers -1.5 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Anaheim has been very streaky but they are on a definite downswing of poor form right now as they have lost five straight. Edmonton has had a very difficult schedule lately but they demolished a Washington team that had been playing well, 5-0, on the road. We think the positive momentum will continue here. Once the offense starts working, this team is going to start stacking wins, and they haven’t scored fewer than three goals in the last seven. We think the Washington win can be a springboard for this team. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Texas A&M v. Iowa State OVER 134.5 | 73-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #743 Over in Texas A&M vs Iowa State (6:30p.m., Sunday, November 26 ESPN2) The Aggies have gone over today’s posted number in 9 straight games. Look for that to continue on Sunday, as consolation games tend to be played more up-tempo. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Hawks v. Celtics -7.5 | 103-113 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Boston has covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. They match up well with the Hawks, who are one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA this season at 5-10 ATS. This line is more than fair on Sunday as we expect the Celtics to score a double-digit win. Boston has struggled ATS recently but they have had a road heavy schedule. Some home cooking is just what the doctor ordered today. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Bills v. Eagles -3 | 34-37 | Push | 0 | 98 h 33 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #268 Philadelphia Eagles over Buffalo Bills (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) The Bills are still a public team and thus get overvalued for the talent they have. They pounded the Jets, but now must face the best team in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles do not lose games at home, and they are better on both sides of the ball. We will lay the field goal in this game. |
|||||||
11-26-23 | Jaguars -1 v. Texans | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 94 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #251 Jacksonville Jaguars over Houston Texans (1p.m., Sunday, November 26 CBS) TOP FOOTBALL PLAY OF THE WEEKEND Houston should have lost last week to Arizona, as CJ Stroud played his worst game as a professional. Now they face the divisional leader Jaguars, a team that just destroyed the Titans last time out. Just feel the Texans will hit a wall in the later portion of the season. The Jaguars have won 8 straight games playing outside of Jacksonville (8-0 ATS as well). Houston is not ready for primetime, and Trevor Lawrence and company will lock up the division with a victory today. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Arizona -10.5 v. Arizona State | 59-23 | Win | 100 | 97 h 29 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #195 Arizona Wildcats over Arizona State Sun Devils (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 25 ESPN) The territorial cup features the Wildcats as clearly the best team in this matchup for the first time in quite some time. Arizona has won 5 straight games and will know by kickoff if they have a chance to play in the PAC-12 Championship Game next Friday in Las Vegas. ASU played Oregon last week and expect there to be a lingering effect from that game into this game. It is a rivalry and ASU will be up for this game, but Arizona is just too talented on both sides of the football for that to matter. The Wildcats showed last week they are not afraid to run up the score and they will win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-25-23 | Ohio State v. Michigan -3.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 94 h 0 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #142 Michigan Wolverines over Ohio State Buckeyes (12p.m., Saturday, November 25 FOX) This game is for all the marbles with the winner winning the Big 10 Championship Game next week and a ticket to the playoffs. Ohio State has been one dimensional on offense and whoever runs the football better wins this game (happened over 20 years in a row). Ohio State is 8th in the Big 10 in rushing this season. I feel Michigan is better in all 3 phases of the game especially on special teams. Ohio State has Marvin Harrison, but their quarterback is subpar and I just do not believe he can beat them with his arm. Michigan against the world continues, as the Wolverines advance to the playoff with a double-digit victory at the Big House. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Oregon State v. Oregon -13 | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #136 Oregon Ducks over Oregon State Beavers (8:30p.m., Friday, November 24 FOX) The Civil War has both teams strong this season, but Oregon is just better. The Beavers faltered to move the football last week against a weak Washington defense. Now they must have their rival and a team that may be the best in the country. Oregon is 12-3 straight-up in their last 15 games against Oregon State. Bo Nix is looking to win the Heisman and expect him to light up the scoreboard and make a statement in this game. Sooner or later Oregon will get hot on offense and win this game by 20+ points. The Ducks need to run up the scoreboard in order to impress the selection committee. |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Baylor -2.5 v. Florida | 95-91 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #859 Baylor over Florida (5:30p.m., Friday, November ESPN) Baylor has better guards in this game and will take care of business at the Barclays Center and win the NIT Tip-off Championship. The Gators already have a loss to an so-so Virginia team in a netural site and they are not in the same class as Baylor. Scott Drew always seems to go on a long winning streak to open the season and 2023 should be no different. All of Baylor’s 5 wins have come over the posted number. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Stanford v. Michigan -2.5 | 78-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #768 Michigan over Stanford (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 ESPN2) Michigan is the fresher team in this game and that will be the difference in this battle to earn a chance for fifth place in the consolation round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Stanford is coming off a double overtime loss to Arkansas yesterday and I do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game. Michigan does not want to lose three straight games and thus expect them to take care of business on Thursday night. |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Commanders +11.5 v. Cowboys | 10-45 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #107 Washington Commanders over Dallas Cowboys (4:30p.m., Thursday, November 23 CBS) We will grab the double-digits in this divisional matchup in a short week for both teams. Washington is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games as an underdog. Dallas has blown out bad teams all season long, but that just cannot continue to happen for a 17-game season. QB Sam Howell has some ability and if he can play a clean game Washington should be able to keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Mavs -3 v. Lakers | 104-101 | Push | 0 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Dallas -3 over LA Lakers (10:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Dallas is well rested, while the Lakers are on a B2B. We think Dallas is the better squad at this point of the season, and they normally bring their A Game against the Lakers, as they are 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Not only does Dallas get up for the Lakers, but they will be anxious to snap their two-game losing streak. Best of Luck, Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Kings -1.5 v. Pelicans | 112-117 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play Take Sacramento -1.5 over New Orleans (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) We were on the Kings last time these teams played on Monday, and Sacramento didn't show up and suffered their worst loss of the season. This is a better team than New Orleans, it's difficult to beat the same team in consecutive games in the NBA, and we love to back good teams after an embarrassing loss. We expect a big bounce back from the Kings tonight and think they get a comfortable win. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Bulls v. Thunder -7 | 102-116 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play Take Oklahoma City -7 over Chicago (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Chicago is a team to fade almost every game. This team just stinks despite some nice talent, and they have maybe the worst chemistry in the NBA. We have been hesitant to play OKC too much because they have turned into the hunted rather than the hunter, but they just continue to be one of the best bets in the NBA. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Grizzlies v. Rockets -5 | 91-111 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Houston -5 over Memphis (8 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Houston had a six-game winning streak but followed that up with three straight losses. Those were all on the road against some of the favorites in the West, and they covered in all three of those games. Now they take a big step down in talent and we think this is a great bounce back spot against a Memphis team that has all sorts of problems at the moment. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Raptors v. Pacers UNDER 241 | 132-131 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
2-Unit Play Take Toronto/Indiana UNDER 238.5 (7:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) We were on the over for the Pacers game last night and we mentioned that soon it was time to fade the over in Pacers games. We think tonight is a perfect opportunity as this line was overinflated by maybe 5 points. The NBA is never as easy as blindly following a trend, and with both teams on a B2B, we see some offensive struggles. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Hawks | 145-147 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play Take Brooklyn +3.5 over Atlanta (7:30 p.m. EST, Wed Nov 22) Easy call here. This is one of the best ATS teams (Brooklyn, 9-3-1 ATS) against one of the worst (Atlanta, 4-9 ATS). This is a very winnable game for the road team, and Brooklyn pretty much brings the same effort on a nightly basis while the Hawks can't say the same. Brooklyn is well rested, while the Hawks played in a track meet last night. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Arkansas v. Stanford UNDER 154.5 | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #720 Under in Arkansas vs Stanford (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 22 ESPNU) This total has really come down in the morning and I feel it is for good reason. It is always tough to shoot in this ballroom at the Atlantis and Stanford will need to slow down the pace. Look for neither team to reach 80 points in scoring and we will collect with the under. |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Sabres v. Capitals UNDER 6.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -120 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
7-Unit Play Take Buffalo/Washington UNDER 6.5 (-120) (7 p.m. EST, Wednesday November 22) These teams are a combined 23-9 to the under this season. We expect another low scoring game here. Buffalo was one of the best offensive teams in the NHL last season. But that has been anything but the case this season. Their offense is ranked No. 24 in the NHL at 2.8 goals per game. They have been even worse lately, where they have averaged only two goals per game in their last six, including one shutout. Washington is even worse offensively, on average, at No. 31 in scoring. The Capitals have built their impressive record on the back of their defense, which is No. 6 in goals allowed. Buffalo has also been much stronger on the defensive side. Since the league was off Tuesday, these teams should be well rested and bring a lot of energy on defense, especially since they have Thursday off as well. The under is 4-0 in the Sabres last four road games. The under is 8-2 in the Caps last 10 home games. We feel like there is great value in the under tonight. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Tennessee v. Kansas -1 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Kansas over Tennessee (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 22 ESPN) Kansas needs to win today to avoid recording no quality wins for the Maui Invitational. The Jayhawks have the size and strength to matchup with the Volunteers down low and they are more skilled on the perimeter. |
|||||||
11-21-23 | Bowling Green -2 v. Western Michigan | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #103 Bowling Green Falcons over Western Michigan Broncos (7p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPNU) The Falcons are going bowling and took Toledo to the wire last week. They will enter this game having won 4 of their last 5 games. Western Michigan cannot become bowl eligible even if they win this game on senior night and thus, I do not expect them to come out strong in this game. The Broncos have not beaten many of the top teams in the league in 2023 and tonight should be no different. The Falcons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-21-23 | Syracuse +13 v. Gonzaga | 57-76 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #651 Syracuse over Gonzaga (2:30p.m., Tuesday, November 21 ESPN2) Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in year’s past. Syracuse should have covered yesterday a similar number to what they will see today against a better Tennessee team. Gonzaga is disappointed they did not make the semifinals and thus playing for fifth place will not excite them much for this game. Take the points in the consolation bracket. |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Flames -101 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Seattle may have the better record but Calgary is the better team off to a slow start. They have shown signs of improvement lately and this is an extremely winnable game for them. Calgary has won two of the last three and four of the last seven, with two shootout losses to better clubs than Seattle. Calgary has a strong history of playing here. They are 5-0 all time in Seattle. They are 7-1 all time in this series. Seattle had an amazing season last year as they came out of nowhere, but they just don’t seem as strong this season and we don’t think this is a playoff team. |

11-20-23 | Eagles v. Chiefs -2.5 | Top | 21-17 | Loss | -125 | 148 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #476 Kansas City Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Monday, November 20 ABC) This is a rematch of Super Bowl 57 and I look for the Chiefs to win this game again. Philadelphia has been winning ugly much of the season and it will catch up to them in this game. Andy Reid is 27-4 in his career following a bye week. Kansas City is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against NFC teams. Coach Reid will enjoy beating his former team for the second time in less than a year. |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Kings -115 v. Pelicans | Top | 93-129 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
We just don’t like this New Orleans team this year. They started hot out of the gates last year and then faded, but they look much worse this year. They have some moments and there is talent here, but their star and franchise cornerstone has lots of bad karma surrounding him and it seems he doesn’t have the mental fortitude to become a superstar in this league. Sacramento has won six straight and has won and covered every game of this current road trip. They are 8-4 ATS on the year and continue to be underrated by the oddsmakers. They won the last two meetings in blowouts, and we expect a comfortable win here tonight. |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Wisconsin +3.5 v. Virginia | 65-41 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #887 Wisconsin over Virginia (6p.m., Monday, November 20 FS1) Wisconsin and Virginia have very similar styles and sooner or later Wisconsin is going to cover a spread with all their experience. Virginia lost a lot of talent from last year and will struggle to score 70 points in this game. Whoever shoots it better from the arc will win and I look for that to be Wisconsin. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Thunder -6.5 v. Blazers | 134-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
OKC has covered in seven of the last eight meetings. They have won six of seven and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. And those were no bottom feeders, either, as they scored B2B wins over the Warriors, beat the Suns, and also the Cavs. Portland has lost three straight by double digits and they are in for a long night tonight. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Sabres v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a battle of two struggling teams, but we think it’s worth it to buy the goals for the home team tonight. These teams normally play close games. The last three meetings all went to OT, and five of the last six meetings were decided by one goal. The Sabres have won only one meeting in the last 12 visits to Chicago. We think the home team has a decent chance to win outright but we don’t see them getting blown out. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Winnipeg v. Montreal OVER 47 | Top | 24-28 | Win | 100 | 53 h 32 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #441 OVER in Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. Montreal Alouettes (6 p.m., Sunday, November 19 FL+) 2023 Grey Cup. While Montreal's defense has been stout during their playoff run to the Grey Cup, stopping Winnipeg's #1 ranked scoring offense (33 ppg during the regular season) is a different story. Montreal's offense has perked up during the postseason as well, averaging 32.5 ppg. These two teams met back in August, and Winnipeg won 47-14, going well north of the total. This will be a fantastic Grey Cup to watch as there should be points aplenty, making the over the best bet. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Chargers v. Packers +3 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 117 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #456 Green Bay Packers over Los Angeles Chargers (1p.m., Sunday, November 19 FOX) The Chargers got lit up by the Lions last Sunday at home and I feel this game will do down to the wire at Lambeau Field. The Chargers are close to making a coaching change and look for the Packers to win their second straight game at home on Sunday. Green Bay has covered 3 straight home games when they are on an underdog. This game will be close and I just feel the Chargers will find a way to lose it, something they have done through most of Brandon Staley’s tenure. |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Titans v. Jaguars -6.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 117 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #460 Jacksonville Jaguars over Tennessee Titans (1p.m., Sunday, November 19 CBS) The Jaguars laid an egg last week against the 49ers but should find things much easier against the Titans on Sunday at home. Tennessee is pot committed to Will Levis and he is a risk taker and that will bite him in this game. The Titans are 1-4 in their last 5 games and will lose this one by double digits. They are playing their third straight road game and the Jags have won 5 of their last 6 games. Jacksonville swept Tennessee in 2022 and they will bounce back and force the Titans to beat them through the air. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Wolves -6.5 v. Pelicans | 121-120 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Minnesota has covered four straight in this series and five of the last six. Of course we understand that the Pelicans just beat the defending champs and come in on a two-game win streak. But this team hasn’t shown any consistency this season and they are probably overconfident now. This win streak followed a four-game losing streak that saw them get blown out three times. Minnesota is the much better team right now, and this line is evidence of that as the oddsmakers aren’t putting too much stock in the win over Denver. And neither are we. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Rangers -101 v. Devils | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a game the Rangers have had circled all offseason. The Devils got the better of them in the postseason and scored a Game 7 shutout. But New Jersey is not the same team we saw in the playoffs. They have the worst defense in the league this season, and the Rangers look much improved and have started off the season strong. They should be extremely focused here and we think they bring their A Game. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Utah +2 v. Arizona | Top | 18-42 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 52 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #367 Utah Utes over Arizona Wildcats (2:30p.m., Saturday, November 18 PAC12N) TOP NCAA FOOTBALL PLAY OF THE WEEK. Arizona has been on a roll and will enter this game having won 4 straight games. This will be the toughest team they faced in their last 5 games, as Utah will not self-destruct like UCLA, Oregon State and Washington State did. The Utes are extremely well coached and I feel the Wildcats are playing a little over their heads at the moment. They have had a great season, but this is a team that lost to Mississippi State earlier this season (just fired their coach). The spread tells me that the Wildcats are not as good as their record would indicate, and reality will hit them in this game. Jedd Fisch is a hot coaching commodity and should win Pac 12 Coach of the Year, but the overachievers take a step back on Saturday. Utah has beaten Arizona six straight times (5-1 ATS). Utah is 15-3 in their last 18 road games when they are an opening line underdog. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Coastal Carolina v. Army +4.5 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 66 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #322 Army Black Knights over Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (12p.m., Saturday, November 18 CBSSN) This line is begging you to take Coastal Carolina, but we will not bite and instead side with the home underdog. Playing Army with only one week to prepare is always a difficult task, as team just do not see the triple option much anymore. Coastal Carolina has won 5 straight games, but only one of those wins came by over 10 points. They struggled to put away App State, Arkansas State, Old Dominion and Texas State. Army has won their last home game of the season 7 straight years. The Black Knights lost by just 10 points to Coastal Carolina last season and that was a better squad than what they will face on Saturday. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Wagner v. Seton Hall OVER 127.5 | 51-72 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306503 Take Over in Wagner @ Seton Hall (12p.m., Saturday, November 18) The Hall continue their early season start against cupcakes and today will be no different. The Pirates are averaging 83.7 points per game and if they hit that mark on Saturday morning this game should go over the posted today. |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Xavier -2.5 v. Washington | 71-74 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #879 Xavier over Washington (11:59p.m., Friday, November 17 ESPN2) No bet against Washington is bad bet. They have a lame duck coach, and he is trying to get away from the zone defense he is long accustomed to too. They got dominated at home by Nevada and now must travel to Las Vegas to face a well-coached Xavier team. Sean Miller is very familiar with Washington having coached many years in Arizona. Look for the Musketeers to jump out early and win this game by close to double-digits. |
|||||||
11-16-23 | Canucks v. Flames UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Calgary has been offensively challenged lately but they have been good on defense. Vancouver looks to be in a letdown spot after a rally and OT win vs. the Islanders last night. We could see them struggling to find the back of the net, and it’s doubtful that Calgary is going to light up the scoreboard tonight. |
|||||||
11-16-23 | Missouri v. Minnesota UNDER 150.5 | 70-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #724 Under in Missouri @ Minnesota (9p.m., Thursday, November 16 BTN) Expect a low scoring game, as both teams will not make the NCAA Tournament come March. Missouri lost a lot of players and will have to get it done with a new cast in 2023/24. They have not come close to reaching this total in their last two games. |
|||||||
11-16-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Heat | Top | 115-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Miami has been racking up the wins lately, but four of those games came against four of the worst teams in the NBA so far this season. They take a big step up in class tonight and this should be a very tough game for them. Brooklyn has won five straight meetings with Miami. The Nets are 9-1-1 ATS on the season. This team doesn’t have any big names so they don’t get respect from the oddsmakers, but they compete hard every night and play with a true team mentality. They also have plenty of talent and a roster of players that compliment each other. We think they have a great chance for the outright win tonight. Miami is not a good regular season team, and things have been going a little too well for them lately. |
|||||||
11-15-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Oilers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
The Oilers have now won two straight, including 4-1 at Seattle. This team was eventually going to put it together – there is too much talent on this squad for them not to. It looks like that time might be now, and they have a lot of ground to make up after a poor start and should be heavily motivated tonight. Edmonton has won five of six, and all the wins came by multiple goals. |
|||||||
11-15-23 | Knicks +1.5 v. Hawks | Top | 116-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Hawks have the better record right now but there’s no doubt to us that the Knicks are the better team. They already won comfortably here last month. They have been playing very well recently until they played their worst game of the season last time out on a back-to-back against Boston. But Boston is a Top 3 team in the NBA, and the Hawks should provide a nice opportunity to get back on track. This time the Hawks are on a B2B. And even though Young didn’t play last night (new father), the rest of the roster will have a tough time keeping up the pace against this physical Knicks team. |
|||||||
11-14-23 | Pacers +5.5 v. 76ers | 132-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Nice revenge spot for Indiana as they lost to Philly on Sunday. They were ahead for most of the game but the Sixers rallied in the fourth. It is really hard to beat a team in consecutive games, especially a strong team like the Pacers. Indiana had won three straight before that loss to Philly, and we think they will make the necessary adjustments to hang close or even win outright. |
|||||||
11-14-23 | Flames v. Canadiens +147 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
We think there is great value on the Canadiens tonight. This team takes a lot of pride in squaring off against fellow Canadian clubs. They normally bring their A Game against the more talented Maple Leafs, their main rival, and they have won five straight against the more talented Flames. That talent deficit hasn’t been evident in the standings so far this season as Calgary has been one of the bigger disappointments in the league this season. Montreal has a winning record on the year and they have been playing well lately. The Flames have won only two of their last eight visits here. You just get the feeling the home team will do what it takes to get the job done tonight as they have been masterful in winning close contests. And we are getting a very nice price with them tonight. |
|||||||
11-14-23 | Wisconsin v. Providence | 59-72 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #605 Wisconsin over Providence (6p.m., Tuesday, November 14 FS1) The Badgers are a brutal nonconference schedule and need to win this game against a rebuilding Friar team. Providence lost their coach and have new players and a new philosophy. Wisconsin should find things easier tonight compared to facing the ultra-athletic Tennessee team last Friday. Wisconsin makes some shots tonight and earn the victory. |
|||||||
11-13-23 | Islanders v. Oilers UNDER 6.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
It’s rare to get a NY Islanders total in the 6.5 range and we will take advantage tonight. They have had only three totals this season at 6.5, and all three have gone under. This Islanders team is known for defense and goaltending, but their strength is definitely not scoring. They are No. 30 in the league for goals scored. Edmonton isn’t far ahead at 26th for goals on the season. They scored four last time out in a rare win. That was the first time in five games they had more than three goals. The oddsmakers seem to think this team is going to turn a corner and they are lining them as such. But we will believe it when we see it. Even if Edmonton was in top form, New York has the ability to compete with them on the defensive end. But the Oilers are a long way from top form, and we expect both teams to struggle on the offensive end tonight. The under has hit in four straight meetings. |
|||||||
11-13-23 | Southern v. Arizona OVER 159.5 | 59-97 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #306585 Over in Southern @ Arizona (8p.m., Monday, November 13 P12N) We nailed a total with Southern last week and expect another high scoring game on Monday in Tucson. Arizona is coming off an impressive win against Duke on Friday and I expect their defense to struggle in this game from tired legs after making a cross country flight. We will not worry if they can cover this big number and instead just focus on the total. |
|||||||
11-13-23 | Knicks +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 98-114 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
Even though it has been at home, the Knicks have won three straight. And they have looked good in the process. And sometimes building confidence at home can translate to continued success on the road. We don’t doubt that New York will be hyped for this matchup even though they are on a B2B. But they easily dispatched Charlotte on Sunday and this game was early so not too intense a B2B. These teams opened the season against each other so this sets up a revenge scenario since Boston won the first one. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Sharks v. Ducks -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 127 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
San Jose is one of the worst puckline teams at 3-11 ATS as they get blown out on a nightly basis. We are getting a good number here because Anaheim stinks, too, but this team is miles ahead of the Sharks, who are one of the worst teams in NHL history. Anaheim is not in the position to take teams for granted, and we see them taking this opportunity for an easy, dominating win. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Grizzlies v. Clippers -8.5 | 105-101 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Tough to lay this many points with the Clippers with the way they have been playing. They came off a tough road trip winless. This is no Must Win this early in the season, but you sense this is a majorly important game with LA at 3-5. The good news is that all three of those wins came at home, all blowouts, and this Memphis team is certainly vulnerable to get rolled today. |
|||||||
11-12-23 | 49ers v. Jaguars +3 | 34-3 | Loss | -109 | 117 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #248 Jacksonville Jaguars over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, November 12 FOX) Both teams are coming off a bye, with the Jaguars red hot and the 49ers ice cold. Injuries are taking its toll on the team from the bay area, as San Francisco is realizing that Brock Prudy cannot carry this team without a bunch of talent around him. Jacksonville is on a 5-0 straight-up and 5-0 ATS run. San Francisco is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a bye. The Jaguars are 5-1 in their last 6 home games when they are an underdog. Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson are a strong combination and will only get better as the season and years go on. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Ole Miss v. Georgia -10.5 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 99 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #144 Georgia Bulldogs over Ole Miss Rebels (7p.m., Saturday, November 11 ESPN) Ole Miss has an offensive mindset and some good playmakers, but they struggled against Alabama scoring just 10 points. I see a similar situation today, as the Bulldogs are getting better and should win this game by double digits. Ole Miss just cannot keep up in the trenches and that will be the difference in this game. The Rebels are just 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games against ranked teams. It might not be pretty, but Georgia just do not lose games to inferior competition and Saturday between the hedges will be another victory. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Canucks +105 v. Maple Leafs | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Just have to roll with the Canucks freight train right now as this team looks like a real championship contender so far. They are playing complete team hockey en route to a 10-2-1 record. No doubt they will be hyped for this matchup at Toronto. Vancouver has won three of the last four meetings. Toronto is just not in top form right now and they are a mediocre 4-4 at home. They have dropped five of seven, and we see a tough night for them again tonight. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Bucks v. Magic +4 | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Milwaukee has enjoyed a home-heavy schedule to start the season, and they haven’t been great on the road. They are also 1-6-1 ATS this season and have been overvalued by the oddsmakers. We think that is the case today. The Bucks will get their best shot from every opponent, and the Magic are an underrated team and 6-2 ATS on the season. |
|||||||
11-11-23 | Michigan -4.5 v. Penn State | Top | 24-15 | Win | 100 | 92 h 37 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #149 Michigan Wolverines over Penn State Nittany Lions (12p.m., Saturday, November 11 FOX) We are fading the Penn State offense in this game. Michigan has not been tested and this will be the best defense that they have faced all season long. But Penn State looked terrible against Ohio State, and I believe Michigan has a better defense than the Buckeyes. The Wolverines have won the last two games and are 6-3 straight-up and 7-2 ATS stretching that out to 9 games. Michigan has an us against the world mentality with all the outside noise going on around the program. JJ McCarthy is a much better player than Drew Allar and the offensive weapons are much better for the Wolverines. Penn State got a raw deal with this being a 12 p.m. game instead of a white out game at night. That edge allows Michigan to dominate this game and win it by double digits. |
|||||||
11-10-23 | Tennessee v. Wisconsin +2.5 | 80-70 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #862 Wisconsin over Tennessee (9p.m., Friday, November 10 Peacock) Both teams return a bunch of talent from last year, but I just do not trust Tennessee and their Coach Rick Barnes. We have made a lot of money fading them in the past and this season should be no different. Wisconsin has the size and plays physical to matchup with Tennessee in the post and I am just not sure the Vols can make enough jump shots in a true road game. Wisconsin scored 105 points in their opening game of the season and that happened despite not making a 3-point basket in their first half. With a tough road game against Providence on deck, this is a game they need and will get it in a big way. |
|||||||
11-09-23 | Hawks -3.5 v. Magic | 120-119 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Love the Hawks in this spot. They are playing well, having won four of their last five, with the loss coming last time out at the Thunder. Orlando is a fine team, but they are still working a lot of things out early in the season and they just haven’t been consistent enough to trust against a team like Atlanta. The Hawks are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings, so they normally bring their A Game vs. the Magic. |
|||||||
11-09-23 | Canucks -120 v. Senators | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
We usually look at the underdog when two Canadian teams play, especially when that underdog is at home. Just can’t get in front of the Canucks freight train, however, as they are starting off the season playing championship-caliber hockey and that have also won two straight in this series and three of four. |
|||||||
11-08-23 | Southern v. UNLV OVER 148.5 | 85-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #306539 Over in Southern @ UNLV (10p.m., Wednesday, November 8 MWN) Southern gave up 108 points to TCU on Monday and I expect them to give up a bunch of points to UNLV tonight in Sin City. The Rebels improved in year two under Kevin Kruger and look for more improvement in 2023-2024. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-08-23 | Panthers v. Capitals OVER 6.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
We expect a competitive game here and think the Capitals have a chance to win. We think both teams will get their goals tonight. Four of the last five meetings have gone over the posted number, and seven of nine meetings in Washington. |
|||||||
11-08-23 | Celtics -1.5 v. 76ers | 103-106 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Boston has won and covered two straight in this series and seven of the last 10. We are getting a nice line tonight because Philly is 6-0 ATS, but they will not last forever. Boston always gets up for big games like this and we could see their best effort of the season so far. The Celtics have also been one of the best betting teams for several years, so they can usually be trusted in these spots. |
|||||||
11-08-23 | Akron v. Miami-OH OVER 41 | 0-19 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 49 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #111 Over in Akron Zips @ Miami (oh) RedHawks (7p.m., Wednesday, November 8 ESPNU) Akron got their offense together late in the game last week against Kent State scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter to win and cover the spread. Look for that to carryover into this game against a much better team in Miami (OH). The RedHawks should be able to move the football via the ground or air against this weak Zips defense and I expect them to be in the mid-thirties in points. Akron is a pass happy team and that leads to the clock stopping a bunch and allows for many more plays in their games. This is a low total and expect it to hit with Akron scoring some points in this game despite being a big underdog. |
|||||||
11-07-23 | Penguins v. Ducks +1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Five of the last seven meetings have been one-goal games. We think the Pens are overrated on this line tonight and this should be a close game and the Ducks have every chance for the outright win. Anaheim has been good on home ice, and the Penguins have looked like a very average team on the road this season (the game at San Jose doesn’t count). |
|||||||
11-06-23 | Oilers v. Canucks -103 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Edmonton continues to get too much respect from the oddsmakers and that is evident with this line. The Canucks have won three straight and six of seven. They are coming off an impressive win over Dallas and handed the Sharks their worst home loss in history. They have also won two straight in this series and three of the last four. We think the Oilers will straighten their issues out eventually. But right now they are a clear fade. |
|||||||
11-06-23 | Clippers -104 v. Knicks | 97-111 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Harden will debut tonight for the Clippers and this team has a lot of firepower. Health is always a problem with this team but they are healthy now and the slow-starting Knicks are in for a long night, in our opinion. The Clippers have struggled on the road but we think the bright lights of MSG will bring out the best in this team. |
|||||||
11-05-23 | Giants +2 v. Raiders | Top | 6-30 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 26 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #269 New York Giants over Las Vegas Raiders (4:25p.m., Sunday, November 5 FOX) NFL GAME OF THE YEAR The Raiders are a mess, and we liked this play even before they fired their coach, offensive coordinator, and General Manager. Throw in they are starting a rookie at quarterback in Aiden O’Connell, and I see them really struggling on offense this entire game. Las Vegas is coming off back-to-back double-digit losses, and one of those was against the Bears. Finally, the Raiders have no home field advantage playing in Las Vegas, and expect a lot of Giants fans in attendance for this game. The Giants did everything they could to lose a game that had over a 95% chance of winning last week. They could not muster any passing game, yet their defense played the best game of the year. The Jets offense is a lot like the Raiders offense, and I see another strong game from the Giants on Sunday. Danny Dimes is back, and that gives the Giants a much better chance to move the football via the air. He can run or pass, and he will need to utilize both in this game. The Giants are 17-8 in their last 25 games as a road underdog, including 9-0 during this streak when facing losing teams. They are 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games against AFC teams. New York is also 4-1 ATS when facing foes coming off a Monday Night Football game. The Giants win this game, and we collect in the process as well. |
|||||||
11-05-23 | Seahawks v. Ravens -5.5 | 3-37 | Win | 100 | 119 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #456 Baltimore Ravens over Seattle Seahawks (1p.m., Sunday, November 5 CBS) Lamar Jackson dominates the NFC and look for that to continue on Sunday. He is 16-1 in his career straight up when facing NFC teams. The Ravens have led at halftime in 7 of their 8 games this season and their defense is one of the top units in the league. Seattle did not look that impressive last week at home against Cleveland and they played poorly when they traveled to Cincinnati last month, especially on offense. |

11-04-23 | Wisconsin v. Indiana +9.5 | 14-20 | Win | 100 | 93 h 46 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #328 Indian Hoosiers over Wisconsin Badgers (12p.m., Saturday, November 4 BTN) This line is coming down, as Wisconsin has been decimated by injuries and should not be favored by this many points against any team in the Big 10. The Badgers played decent against Ohio State but expect a letdown to occur as RB Allen and WR Diketo to injuries in that game. No team can sustain that many injuries and thus it would not surprise me if Indiana wins this game straight-up. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will cash this ticket with whoever comes out on top. |

11-03-23 | Grizzlies -3 v. Blazers | Top | 113-115 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Memphis is 0-5 to start the season. We think they will get their first win tonight with style points. This team has lots of talent even without Morant. This is their first game of the in season tournament, so we think there is a great chance for this to be the impetus for them to snap out of this funk. Portland will finish with one of the worst records in the west. While Memphis hasn’t played well, this roster is miles better than what the Blazers will be trotting out, and if this matchup was the first game of the season (without the way the Grizzlies have played), Memphis would probably be around a 7- or 8-point favorite here based on the talent. |

11-03-23 | Devils v. Blues +140 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 140 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
New Jersey is the better team, no doubt. But we have many reasons to believe the Blues are a great value play tonight. First, the Devils are on a back-to-back in consecutive road games after a hard-fought win over the Wild in Minnesota last night. This will be their third back-to-back of the season. In their first, they lost in Arizona, and in their second, they lost vs Washington. They had a more favorable situation (at least one home game) in both of those situations, and both of those teams are mediocre like the Blues. St. Louis has played a road heavy schedule, so we don’t know how good this team can be yet at home. This is their first home game in almost two weeks, so we think they will bring their A Game. They have one of the best defenses in the league and should be effective in that area against a tired Devils squad that was probably more focused on their game last night against a better opponent. The Blues won both meetings last season at an underdog price. In fact, it has been total domination by the Blues when these teams meet, as St. Louis has won 17 of the last 21 meetings. New Jersey has won only a single match in their last 10 visits to St. Louis. The Devils will also have their backup goalie in Net tonight. |

11-02-23 | Magic v. Jazz +1.5 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -111 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
We love the Jazz in this spot tonight. We think they are being punished too much by the oddsmakers for this being a back-to-back. But this is a young team, and this is early in the season, so we don’t think that will come into play tonight. The Jazz ran roughshod over the Grizzlies last night and the starters got some extra rest. No starter played more than 28 minutes. These teams don’t play often, but the Jazz are 8-1 in the last nine meetings. Orlando normally doesn’t play well here. The Magic are an exciting, up and coming team, but they were bad on the road last year and they should be this year also. The Jazz were a surprise team at the start of last season and they were one of the best betting teams early. We think they are a solid bet at this point in the season, and we expect them to win outright tonight. |

11-02-23 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets +140 | 2-4 | Win | 140 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Just think this is a decent spot for the home dog. Tampa Bay seems to be getting worse every year since their championship seasons. They have had a decent start, but they haven’t been good on the road. The Jackets have lost four straight after a two-game winning streak. They will want to get back on the winning track, and Tampa might not take this game as seriously as they would other matchups. |

11-01-23 | Rangers v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8.5 | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #956 Under in Texas Rangers @ Arizona Diamondbacks (8:03p.m., Wednesday, November 1 FOX) The under has only hit once so far in the 2023 World Series and I look for it to cash a second time on Wednesday. Often times elimination games are played close to the best and I expect this to be a low scoring game that goes down to the wire. Both teams have their ace on the mound and at least one of them should go deep into this game and give up very few very runs. The bullpen for Arizona is strong and Texas missing Garcia will catch up to them in this game. Play the under and we will not worry about if there is a Game 6 and cash our ticket. |

11-01-23 | Wizards v. Hawks OVER 237.5 | Top | 121-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
The over has cashed in seven of the last ten meetings, and the last meeting saw 250 scored by both teams. We could see that kind of offensive output tonight. These teams are going to run tonight and execute their offense quickly. Washington is No. 1 in the league for pace to start the season, and Atlanta is not far behind. When teams play at this kind of pace, the total can weather a couple cold spells and still go over. The last time Washington met a team high in the pace ratings was their game against Indiana that saw 263 points scored. We think this one can be that kind of barnburner tonight. |

11-01-23 | Kent State v. Akron -3.5 | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 32 h 29 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #308 Akron Zips -3.5 over Kent State Golden Flashes (7:30p.m., Wednesday, November 1 ESPNU) How the Golden Flashes have fallen. This used to be a perennial top team in the MAC, but they cannot get out of their own way this season going 1-7 with their only win coming against an FCS team. Akron has the same stats, but the difference tonight will be the quarterback play of Akron (taking care of the football). Jeff Undercuffler will be smart with the football and that will allow the Zips to move the football and win this game by double digits. Neither team will be making a bowl game, so the time is now for Akron to end this long losing streak to Kent State and earn some pride heading into next season. |

11-01-23 | Sabres -103 v. Flyers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Philly started off the season hot but has lost four of their last five. That includes a 7-4 beatdown here at home two games ago. Buffalo got off to a slow start but has been playing much better and has won two of three. They have found their offense and have scored at least four goals in their last three matchups. The Sabres have won six of the last eight meetings. |

10-31-23 | Kings v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -135 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
We see a very competitive game here and we were tempted to go with the Kings at a nice price, but we think the total is the best way to attack this matchup. These teams are playing well to start the season and they are both Top 10 offensively. Actually, the Kings are No. 1 at 4.4 goals per contest. The over is 7-1 for Los Angeles to start the season and we see both teams getting their share of the total tonight. |
