---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
03-11-23 | Blues v. Blue Jackets +119 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
St. Louis stinks right now and they are playing some of the worst hockey in the league right now. They have only two wins in their last 10, and both were over the Sharks. Columbus isn’t playing great, but they have double that amount of wins in their last 10, and they also have three overtime losses, so they have been pretty competitive lately. They don’t deserve to be this big of an underdog here. St. Louis has lost five of their last seven visits here, so they don’t normally play well here. The home team is 36-17 in the last 53 meetings, which is a very strong trend that we see continuing here tonight. |
|||||||
03-11-23 | Texas v. Kansas -2 | 76-56 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #624 Kansas -2 over Texas (6p.m., Saturday, March 11 ESPN) Just do not believe Texas can beat Kansas twice in one week. Both teams have interim coaches, but playing in Kansas City will give Kansas a huge edge in fan support. Kansas is also more rested having won their game earlier in the day and it was not very competitive down the stretch. The favorite is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Texas and Kansas. The Longhorns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. The Jayhawks are 7-3 in their last 10 games. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Ducks v. Flames UNDER 6.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
The Ducks have gone over in just one of their last seven games (one push). Three of four have gone under for Calgary, so both teams are trending to the under. The Flames offense is struggling right now. They had one goal TOTAL in regulation all three of those recent unders. They probably won’t be held that low tonight, but it’s safe to assume they won’t light up the scoreboard, either. Anaheim has scored two goals each in three of their last four, and we don’t see them doing much on the offensive end here. The under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings, and the last meeting, in December, was a low scoring affair. We see a repeat here on Friday. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Nets v. Wolves -4.5 | 124-123 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Brooklyn is Fat and Happy with three wins in their last four, but we don’t see that success continuing tonight. The Wolves are the better team and this line is more than fair. Minnesota has also won three of four and they are playing well right now. Brooklyn usually doesn’t play well here and they are 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Connecticut -3.5 v. Marquette | 68-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #845 Connecticut over Marquette (6:30p.m., Friday, March 10 FS1) Connecticut in New York City is always a strong bet. They will have a huge fan base and they already beat Marquette by 15 points last meeting. This is the rubber game, but the Eagles lack of size will be the difference in this game. Marquette has had very little success in the Big East Tournament and look for that to continue on Friday night. UCONN is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral game sites. Marquette is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 neutral game sites. |
|||||||
03-09-23 | Rockets v. Pacers -9 | Top | 125-134 | Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
The Pacers are not a great team. But they can score. And they will be highly motivated here as they are a couple games out of the Play In Tournament. They know that if they don’t get a convincing win here, that they don’t belong in the postseason. We think they get the job done. The Rockets are one of the most tanking teams right now, and they have covered only two of their last nine games. Both of those were against the Spurs, another tanking club, so maybe that was just a case of San Antonio wanting the loss more. They aren’t covering despite some very generous lines from the oddsmakers. Indiana has covered six of seven, so they have been a money machine lately and underrated by the oddsmakers. The Pacers are 21-13 ATS at home, and they normally take care of business against bad teams. The Rockets are 11-22 ATS on the road, where they normally get massive spreads like we see tonight. Houston normally doesn’t play well here and they are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Indiana. |
|||||||
03-09-23 | Stars v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | 10-4 | Win | 101 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
Dallas has gone over in four of five (one push), and now they take on one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. They have scored at least four goals in their last five, so we should expect them to get at least three, and Buffalo is good for around four goals per game for their season average. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Raptors v. Clippers -2 | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
The Clippers have been a schizophrenic team, but when they start playing well they can string together some good games. They are healthy and they snapped their losing streak last time out vs. the Grizzlies. They also played well in a one-point loss at Sacramento before that. We think they are primed for a win and a cover here. Kawhi will no doubt want to play well against his former team, and this just looks like a game where the Clips Big Two could potentially go off for a big game. You know the Clippers stars like their rest, and this team has had two nights off. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Wild v. Jets UNDER 5.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
We are not scared off by the low total here. These are two of the top UNDER teams in the league, with a combines 81-40 record to the under. These are two Top 10 defensive teams and both have an offense that leaves a lot to be desired. Winnipeg had a little streak of overs, but they also played Edmonton twice. These teams met here before the calendar turned, a 4-1 Minnesota victory, and we think this could be lower scoring here. Seven of the last nine meetings in Winnipeg have gone under the posted number. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 65-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #680 Wisconsin over Ohio State (6:30p.m., Wednesday, March 8 BTN) All season long the odds makers and metrics have overrated this Ohio State team. They were a quad 1 team for most of the season despite having a losing record. They won two home games down the stretch but they have won just 3 games since January 2nd. Wisconsin is playing for their NCAA Tournament lives and already beat this Ohio State team in Columbus back in February. The Badgers got right on offense on Sunday against Minnesota and look for that to continue on Wednesday. Ohio State is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss in their previous game. Wisconsin is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Bucks -7 v. Magic | 134-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee is playing the best basketball of any team in the NBA. They ended their long winning streak lately vs. Philly, but they look to start another winning streak tonight. These teams played last week in Milwaukee, and the Bucks won by 20+. We don’t think a venue change will make too much of a difference here. Revenge is out the window since the teams have had games in between. Orlando has a nice foundation for the future, but they are not playing as well as they were a couple months ago. This team is unlikely to make the play in tourney, so looks like tanking is in order down the stretch. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Maple Leafs +118 v. Devils | 4-3 | Win | 118 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rare to get the Leafs at plus money but we will take it here. The Devils have been better on the road than at home this season, and they are vulnerable here. Toronto has owned this series as they are 5-0 in the last five meetings in New Jersey and 9-1 in the last 10 meetings overall. So they won’t be intimidated here tonight, and we think they come in knowing they will win this one. The Leafs are coming off bad losses to Vancouver and Edmonton, and we think they come in mad and take it out on their American adversary. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Northern Kentucky v. Cleveland State UNDER 126.5 | 63-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #630 Over 125.5 in Northern Kentucky vs Cleveland State (7p.m., Tuesday, March 7 ESPN) The Norse are an under team and the Vikings are an over team. We will side with the over and this total is low for a college basketball game. Cleveland State has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 9 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-06-23 | Sharks v. Jets OVER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Winnipeg has been one of the top under teams this season but now they are trending to the over with three straight overs. They have scored 15 goals in their last three games and their offense is playing well. It’s likely that can continue here tonight against the Sharks, who give up nearly four goals per game and are 37-23 to the over this season. San Jose has gone over in four of five and they have allowed 14 goals in their last two games. We see a competitive game here and expect both teams to get their share of goals to contribute to going over the posted number. |
|||||||
03-06-23 | 76ers v. Pacers +7.5 | 147-143 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
The Pacers have covered in five of six, and this team is playing well at the moment. This is a letdown spot for the Sixers after their big win vs. the Bucks on Saturday. Indiana has covered five of six in this series and they normally bring their A Game when facing off against Philly. The Sixers have also covered only one of their last seven meetings here. Indiana needs all the games in hand that they can get and we think they come into this one wanting the win. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Blazers v. Magic -2 | Top | 122-119 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Portland has been on the wrong end of some blowouts lately, in five of their last six games. Orlando is sneaky good this season and they will not hesitate to take advantage of a team on a slump. They have won two straight and three of four in this series and we see another comfortable win here on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Maryland +4 v. Penn State | 64-65 | Win | 100 | 1 h 27 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #767 Maryland over Penn State (12p.m., Sunday, March 5 BTN) Just do not trust Penn State to handle prosperity. A win today would get them a single bye in the Big 10 Tournament and likely a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Maryland played terrible last time out against Ohio State and I believe they will bounce back in a big way on Sunday. Maryland is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games. Penn State is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Hawks +3 v. Heat | 109-117 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Miami has covered in only two of their last 10 games, and this team continues to be one of the worst bets in the NBA night after night. The Hawks have won three of four and they are playing well right now. We think they have a great chance to win here in what should be a close game. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Oilers v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
This is the second night of a home-and-home, back-to-back. Edmonton piled on the goals last night but we think the Jets will make some adjustments here and we are also getting a better line for the total. Bettors will look at the result from yesterday and automatically think that we will see s similar result, but often the second game of these types of series often go a different way. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Tennessee v. Auburn -2 | Top | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #620 Auburn over Tennessee (2p.m., Saturday, March 4 ESPN) Unranked team that is favored against a ranked team is always a great indicator to play the favorite. Auburn played outstanding against Alabama last time out and they will win this game by close to double digits today. Just not been a fan of Tennessee this season and feel this lack on offensive punch to make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament. Throw in the fact they lost their point guard for this game in Zakai Zeigler and I see them being a quick out in both the conference and NCAA Tournaments. Tennessee is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Auburn is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a loss in their previous game. Auburn has revenge and is the more desperate team, needing a win to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Hurricanes v. Coyotes +1.5 | 6-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Arizona is no longer a pushover at home and they are building something nice here in the desert. They have a winning ATS record overall this season, and this is even better at home. They have some big wins, including against the Bruins this season, at home, so they won’t be intimidated by Carolina and they will be playing for the win tonight. |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Nets v. Celtics -11 | Top | 115-105 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
We don’t get in the habit of taking NBA double-digit favorites, but we think it is justified in this situation. After the trade deadline, the Nets are sinking and will be lucky to make the play in once all is said and done for the regular season. This team is clearly looking towards next season. They have lost four straight, three by double digits, and two by 20+. In their last game, they allowed 142 to the Knicks. They have allowed 129 or more in three of their last four. That doesn’t bode well against what is, in our opinion, the best team in the league. This Boston team is a covering machine lately. This is one of the most poised, veteran clubs out there – not to mention one of the most talented – and they aren’t a team that is going to take many nights off or overlook an opponent. We think they bring their A Game here as the playoffs are quickly approaching. They are right on the heels of the Bucks for the No. 1 seed, so they know every game is important down the stretch. They have won the last three meetings by double digits (they have covered in six straight meetings), and they won by 40+ at the start of February against a stronger Nets team. This one looks like blowout city to us. |
|||||||
03-02-23 | Purdue v. Wisconsin +4.5 | 63-61 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #754 Wisconsin over Purdue (9p.m., Thursday, March 2 FS1) Purdue is starting to be exposed and teams are figuring out how to defend them. Teams that have needed wins all week long have gotten them and Wisconsin falls into that boat tonight. It is Senior Night and look for Wisconsin to play well in front of a sellout crowd. The home team is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 10 meetings between Purdue and Wisconsin. Purdue is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 road games. Wisconsin is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-02-23 | 76ers v. Mavs UNDER 229.5 | 126-133 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a letdown spot for Philly after their big revenge win over the Heat last night. Now they are on a back-to-back and with their best player questionable. Even if Embiid does play, he will not likely be 100%. Since they won last night, we think they rest him again here and hope for the best. The Sixers have played four straight unders, and the under has hit in five consecutive meetings between these teams. We think this total is about five points too high. |
|||||||
03-02-23 | Sabres +1.5 v. Bruins | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Three of the last four wins for Boston have been one-goal wins. We think their winning streak might come to an end soon, and it could be tonight. This team, has just not been as dominant in recent games, and they are getting their best shot from opponents every night. Buffalo has won three of four and this is one of the best offensive teams in the NHL. They are playing well at the moment and we think they bring their A Game to Boston tonight. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | Devils v. Avalanche UNDER 6 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
Both teams have been playing great defense lately, and we think this will be another low scoring contest. The Devils are coming off a shutout vs. Philly, and the defense was incredible in that game. They did score 7 in the win, but they won’t see anywhere near that kind of success against this Avs defense. Colorado has allowed only two goals in their last three games. So, their defense is in top form right now. When these teams meet, there is a strong history with the under. The under is 13-3-2 in the last 18 meetings in Colorado. It is 21-7-3 in the last 31 meetings overall. These teams have combined for a total of 2.5 goals in the last two meetings. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | Magic +7.5 v. Bucks | 117-139 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Bucks have been playing amazing basketball and have some high profile wins lately, but this looks like a game where they could have a letdown effort. They are on a back-to-back here and also have Philly on deck. Orlando is rested, healthy and a team on the rise. They have been money in this price range (16-9-1 ATS as a dog of 7.5 or more), and we think they bring their A Game tonight and they should be confident they can compete for the win against a tired team. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | Lakers v. Thunder OVER 228.5 | 123-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
OKC is such a fun team to watch. They are great offensively and play little defense. Their games are often shootouts, and we see that being the case here tonight. We agree with the oddsmakers that this will be a competitive game, and we think both teams get their share of the points to send this one sailing over the total. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | 76ers -1.5 v. Heat | Top | 119-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
This sets up as a nice revenge spot for the Heat’s win Monday in Philly. That was a rare cover for them recently, which shows the oddsmakers have been continuously overrating them. Philly is 14-6 ATS as a small favorite this season, and they are clearly the better team in this matchup. Miami has been one of the worst ATS teams all season and they continue to get too much respect from the oddsmakers. Revenge is an overrated handicapping angle in the NBA UNLESS these teams played recently, and that is certainly the case here. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | Maryland v. Ohio State +110 | 62-73 | Win | 110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #680 Ohio State over Maryland (7p.m., Wednesday, March 1 BTN) Look for the Buckeyes to win two straight home games after a terrible season. Maryland is not the same team on the road that they are at home and they can afford to drop this game on Wednesday. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Maryland and Ohio State. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | Wolves v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
The Clippers have been inconsistent but they still have been a better bet this season than the Wolves, and we think they will want to bring their A Game tonight and leave nothing to chance after a pair of OT losses to Sacramento and Denver. The Wolves have covered in only one of the last seven meetings to LA and we think they are in for a tough game tonight. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 141 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
We think this is a good spot for the home team to get a dominant win. The Blackhawks had been playing well until a blowout loss last night in Anaheim now they come in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, while the home team is rested. The Coyotes had been playing well at home but lost their last two here against much better teams than they face tonight, and we see an easy win for the home team. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | San Diego State v. Boise State -132 | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take Boise State -140 money line over San Diego State (9p.m., Tuesday, February 28 CBSSN) The Broncos are desperate for a victory and need this quality win badly to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The Aztecs do not have much to play for in this game after beating New Mexico last time out. They have a 99% chance of winning the regular season championship regardless of the outcome of this game. This is their second straight road game and third in the last four games. SDSU is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games played on Tuesdays. Boise State fell to San Jose State last time out and needs to get back on track Tuesday night at the former Taco Bell Arena. |
|||||||
02-27-23 | Bruins v. Oilers UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
This series has a strong history for the UNDER, and we think that trend will continue here on Monday. This is a marquee matchup where both teams will want to give their best, and extra effort usually comes on the defensive end. The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Edmonton. Overall, the under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Boston is trending to the under, with five of the last seven going under. Edmonton is normally a good bet for the over but the prices have been going up, and we think there is some great value here on the contrarian position. |
|||||||
02-27-23 | Heat v. 76ers -5.5 | 101-99 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
The Heat are one of the worst ATS teams in the league and they have covered in only one of their last nine games and enter on a four-game losing streak. The Sixers had their five-game winning streak snapped vs. Boston even though they played well, and this looks like a great bounce back spot. Philly is one of the best ATS teams in the league, and they do their best work at home. We see them getting a comfortable win tonight, and a blowout isn’t out of the question. |
|||||||
02-26-23 | Wisconsin +5 v. Michigan | 79-87 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #825 Wisconsin over Michigan (2p.m., Sunday, February 26 CBS) Wisconsin and Michigan are both on the bubble and thus I look for this game to go down to the wire and we will grab the points in this game. The Badgers already beat Michigan this season and look for another grinder. The underdog is 17-8 ATS in the last 25 games between Wisconsin and Michigan. |
|||||||
02-25-23 | Wright State v. Detroit -1.5 | 82-71 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #618 Detroit over Wright State (1p.m., Saturday, February 25 ESPN+) We have faded the Raiders a couple of times recently and look to do so yet again on Saturday. Detroit has won 3 of their last 4 games and has the best player on the floor in Antoine Davis. He is looking to break the all-time points mark by Pistol Pete. The favorite is 32-15 ATS (1 push) in the last 51 meetings between Wright State and Detroit. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. |
|||||||
02-24-23 | Thunder +7.5 v. Suns | Top | 115-124 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
Love the Thunder in this spot. The Suns will be shorthanded as Durant will likely be postponing his Suns debut. The Thunder are on a back-to-back here but they have been solid in these situations at 4-3 ATS on the season. In fact, this is one of the best ATS teams in the NBA on the year. They are 8-2 ATS on the season when getting around this many points. They normally bring their A Game on the road against top teams, where they are 25-9-1 ATS in their last 35 against a team with a winning home record. |
|||||||
02-24-23 | Avalanche v. Jets UNDER 5.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Two of the best under teams meet here on Friday night. These teams have combined to go 72-34 to the under this season. Not many betting trends stronger than that. Winnipeg has now gone under in 9 of 10, with one push. The under is 19-5-2 for the last 26 road games for Colorado. The under has cashed in four of the last five meetings in Winnipeg. These are two Top 10 defenses with offenses that are in the bottom portion of the standings. The under is 19-6 for Winnipeg home games! |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Predators v. Sharks +115 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
We think the wrong team is favored here. The Predators have been decidedly average as they have posted a 3-4 record in their last seven, despite a home-heavy schedule. For some reason the Sharks have been better on the road than at home, but those home and road splits will even out down the stretch of the season, and this is a very winnable game for San Jose. They have had some very impressive wins lately against Seattle, Washington, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. They have had a couple days off and are well rested coming into this one and they have momentum after a 4-0 win here over the Kraken. |
|||||||
02-23-23 | CS Bakersfield +1.5 v. CS-Northridge | 68-75 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #827 Cal Bakersfield over Cal State Northridge (10p.m., Thursday, February 23 ESPN+) No bet against Northridge is a bad bet. They have lost 6 of their last 8 games and Bakersfield beat them by 15 points during this span. The Roadrunners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against teams with a losing record. The Matadors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games. |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Grizzlies v. 76ers -3.5 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Teams will want to get off to a strong start for the stretch run after the all-star break, and we think this is a game that the Sixers will want to take very seriously. These teams are somewhat close together record wise but we think the Sixers are the much stronger team, and they should take care of business with a comfortable win here in front of the home faithful. Philly is one of the best betting teams this season at 34-23 ATS, while the Grizzlies have a losing ATS mark. The Sixers are a dominant home team at 23-8, while Memphis does their best work at home as well but is 11-17 on the road. The Sixers won and covered four straight before the break, and we think that momentum will continue here after. The Grizzlies have covered only one of their last six road contests. They have covered in only one of their last six visits to Philly. They are 9-19 ATS in road games this season, while the Sixers have been dominant, at 21-10 ATS at home. Memphis is 3-7 ATS when in an underdog role this season, and we think they come up well short of the cover here tonight |
|||||||
02-22-23 | Iowa v. Wisconsin +1.5 | 52-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Iowa (6p.m., Wednesday, February 22 BTN) Iowa does not play much defense and this is just what Wisconsin needs to get back on track. The Badgers already won at Iowa City this season and the Hawkeyes are just not the same team when playing on the road. They have lost 4 of their last 5 road games with their only win coming against Minnesota during this slide. Iowa is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games. The underdog is 3-1 ATS (2 pushes) in the last 6 games between Iowa and Wisconsin. |
|||||||
02-22-23 | Jets v. Islanders UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Winnipeg is 39-14 to the under this season, so you always have to check for them to go under the posted total. They have gone under in eight of nine with one push. Their offense has been unspectacular, while their defense has been playing very well. In fact, these are both Top 10 defensive teams and both have offenses that are in the bottom portion of the league. Four of the last six meetings have gone under, and we see another offensive struggle here tonight. |

02-21-23 | Flyers +1.5 v. Oilers | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Philly has been excellent on the puckline on the road, where they have compiled a 21-9 record ATS. Edmonton is for sure the better team but they are not in the best form at the moment and they have dropped four straight and five of six. Philly is coming in off a road win at Calgary and should be playing with a lot of confidence tonight. |
|||||||
02-21-23 | Villanova v. Xavier -4 | 64-63 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #602 Xavier over Villanova (6:30p.m., Tuesday, February 21 FS1) Villanova just is not the same team this season without Jay Wright at the helm. Xavier has another get right game after dropping 2 of their last 3 and they should be able to win this game by close to double-digits. The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. The Musketeers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a victory in their previous game. |
|||||||
02-20-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks UNDER 6.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
The Sharks have been one of the strongest over teams all season but they have now hit five straight unders, and we think they will continue to trend in that direction as their offense has been poor lately and they have also stepped up the defense. The under is also 4-1 in the last five meetings. This looks like another low scoring contest today. |
|||||||
02-19-23 | Maple Leafs v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
A couple things set up for the Blackhawks to perform here. Toronto is on a back-to-back after playing their most hated rival, Montreal, on Saturday. This is a revenge spot for the home team as the Hawks lost 5-2 in Toronto on Wednesday. Toronto has won only three of the last 11 meetings here in Chicago, so this is a place they rarely play well at. Chicago looked solid last time out in a road win at Ottawa and we think the positive momentum from that one will carry over here. |
|||||||
02-19-23 | Northern Kentucky v. Cleveland State -140 | 63-64 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #838 Cleveland State -140 money line over Northern Kentucky (3p.m., Sunday, February 19) The Vikings have a ton of talent and should be able to knock down the Norse at home on Sunday afternoon. This team has gotten off to hot starts most of the season and are hitting a team playing their second straight road game on Sunday. The No. 1 seed is still up for grabs in the Horizon League and the winner of this game will be in strong position to make a claim to that spot. Cleveland State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record. Northern Kentucky is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. |
|||||||
02-18-23 | Sabres v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
The San Jose offense has been in a bit of a funk, but this seems like a great situation to break out of it. Both of these clubs are among the worst defensive teams in the league. Buffalo has one of the best offenses, however, and San Jose has a bit of an underrated offense, in our opinion. There were nine goals scored when these teams met in December, and we could see the same type of outcome here tonight in the rematch. |
|||||||
02-18-23 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin +1 | 58-57 | Push | 0 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #614 Wisconsin (pk) over Rutgers (12p.m., Saturday, February 18 BTN) Wisconsin is in the middle of a 3 game homestand and I believe that they will win all 3 of these games. Rutgers has lost 4 straight road games and they are no longer ranked on the season. They are a good matchup for Wisconsin and feel that the Badger will grind out a 6-8 point victory in this game. Rutgers is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning home record. |
|||||||
02-17-23 | Rangers v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
The Rangers offense is just humming right now. They have scored exactly six goals in all three or their previous games. We think they can keep it up here against an Edmonton team that is in the bottom portion of the league for goals allowed. Edmonton brings the No. 1 offense in the league to the table tonight, and we see a competitive match here where both teams get their share of the total. Three of the last four meetings have gone over. |
|||||||
02-17-23 | Wright State v. Cleveland State -1.5 | 68-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #870 Cleveland State -1.5 over Wright State (7p.m., Friday, February 17 ESPNU) Just feel Cleveland State is the more talented team and they will earn the season sweep of Wright State tonight at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, OH. The Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
02-16-23 | Utah v. Arizona -10.5 | 62-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #826 Arizona -11 over Utah (10p.m., Thursday, February 16 PAC12N) The Line has moved two points since it was released on Wednesday afternoon. Arizona needs to win their next 4 days in order to have a chance to win the regular season title. They also have revenge on their minds, as Utah beat them bad earlier this season. The Wildcats have covered the spread in 4 straight home games. |
|||||||
02-16-23 | Clippers v. Suns UNDER 223.5 | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Six straight meetings have gone under. We think both teams will lock down defensively and expect this one to finish at least five points under the total as we had this one handicapped under 220. The Suns have been trending to the under and we think their defense will hold the Clippers to a reasonable score tonight. |
|||||||
02-16-23 | Canadiens v. Hurricanes UNDER 6 | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
Both teams have trended to the under this season, especially Montreal, who is 28-22 to the under on the season. While that may not be the strongest of trends, if you look closer, you will see that the under is 17-7 in road games for the Canaidens this season. Montreal has been playing decent defense and are coming off a shutout vs. the Blackhawks and have allowed only five goals in their last three contests. Tonight, we just need them to keep the Hurricanes from lighting up the scoreboard, and we think that is an achievable task. But we just don’t see the Canadiens offense doing much here. They have had a home-heavy schedule lately that has somewhat masks their offensive struggles. This team has one of the worst road offenses in the league, and they face one of the best defensive teams in the NHL tonight on the road. They normally don’t play well here in Carolina. The under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings here. The under is 4-1 regardless of the venue in the last five meetings. Montreal has scored one or fewer goals in seven of the last 10 meetings. Both of the last two meetings were 4-0 Hurricanes wins. We see the same type of match today. We think this will be a dominant win by the home team but we will save a lot on juice by going with the under here vs. the big price on the moneyline and puckline for Carolina. |
|||||||
02-15-23 | Indiana -2 v. Northwestern | 62-64 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #713 Indiana over Northwestern (9p.m., Wednesday, February 15 BTN) We will follow the line movement in this game. It would be a tough task for Northwestern to knock off both Indiana and Purdue in consecutive games. These are the two best teams in the league and Northwestern just is not on that level. The road team is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Indiana and Northwestern. |
|||||||
02-14-23 | Penguins v. Sharks +141 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
San Jose is considered one of the true bottom feeders in the NHL, but we don’t see them as being as bad as most do. We see some potential here, and that has been showing lately as the Sharks are playing some of their best hockey of the season right now. They have won three of four, and their previous two games before that were OT losses. One of those recent wins was in Pittsburgh, 6-4. This shows they match up well against the Penguins. And forget about the revenge angle. The Sharks don’t have the stature for Pittsburgh to dwell on that loss, and they have played several matches since. The Sharks should be getting their best goalie back from illness tonight. Pittsburgh doesn’t typically play well here in San Jose as they are 5-14 in the last 19 meetings. |
|||||||
02-14-23 | Warriors v. Clippers OVER 228 | 124-134 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
The Clippers have been an under team this season, especially at home, so the oddsmakers have to be sure not to set the totals too high. But they went too low here, in our opinion. Even without Curry on the court this team can score, and they are going to push the pace. They have gone over in five of their last six. Two of the last three meetings have gone over, and we see this one as being high scoring as well, and the Clippers offense should benefit from the pace here tonight. |
|||||||
02-14-23 | Michigan v. Wisconsin | 59-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Michigan (9p.m., Tuesday, February 14 ESPN2) Both teams are desperate for a victory after giving away games over the weekend. Look for the Badgers to prevail at home, as they will be up for this game after Juwan Howards actions in the game last year. Michigan is a good matchup for Wisconsin, as the Badgers have the size to help with Hunter Dickenson. Michigan is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. |
|||||||
02-13-23 | Sabres v. Kings -140 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
The home team is always the bet when these teams meet up. The home team is 24-7 in the last 31 meetings. Wins and losses tend to come in bunches in the NHL, and Buffalo followed five straight wins with three straight losses, and we expect them to make that four straight tonight. They have a -9 goal differential in their last two games. |
|||||||
02-13-23 | Pelicans +3 v. Thunder | 103-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Both teams have been playing well but we just don’t believe in the Thunder as a favorite although we love to take them when getting points. But they are laying too many here in what we think is pretty much a coin flip of a game. OKC is 2-5 ATS as a small favorite like this. We think this is a great chance for a rare road win by the Pelicans tonight. |
|||||||
02-12-23 | Chiefs +2 v. Eagles | Top | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 150 h 27 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #101 Kansas City Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 12 FOX) All the talk is about the Eagles dominate run to reach the Super Bowl, but the odds makers are having no part of that. They have kept this game as a pick’em and I believe that the books wants Philadelphia money in this game. I believe that the difference in this game will come down to experience, something Kansas City has a major edge in at the quarterback and head coaching positions. Jalen Hurts did not throw the ball well in the conference championship and if the Chiefs can contain the rushing attack and make him beat them they should be in a good shape. Philadelphia has had a cake walk to reach the Super Bowl and just are not as battle tested as Kansas City is. Philadelphia is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Andy Reid earns his second Super Bowl victory, and this is one bittersweet coming against his former team. |
|||||||
02-12-23 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State +2.5 | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #838 Cleveland State +2.5 over Youngstown State (1p.m., Sunday, February 12 ESPN+) The Vikings are a tough team with their length and I see them winning this game today against the top team in the league. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 games between Youngstown and Cleveland State. The Vikings are 4-0 ATS against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Bulls +5.5 v. Cavs | 89-97 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
We really like the Bulls to compete here tonight and think they have a decent chance for the outright win. The Cavs have to be exhausted on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. The Bulls come in rested and have lost two straight. So they will likely bring their A Game tonight as they had won three straight before the current slide. Cleveland has had a pretty favorable schedule lately. They should be fat and happy here tonight and probably won’t have much urgency like the Bulls should have. |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Nebraska | 63-73 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #705 Wisconsin over Nebraska (4p.m., Saturday, February 11 BTN) Wisconsin seems to play better on the road and look for that to be the case again on Saturday. The Badgers have won their last two road games and those came against better teams that are better than Nebraska. |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Coyotes -110 v. Blackhawks | 3-4 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but Arizona is a much better team and they are improving. They beat the Bruins this season, for cripes sake. We think they are further ahead in the building process. Road wins have been hard to come by, but this seems like an opportune spot for an easy road win. |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Knicks v. 76ers UNDER 223 | Top | 108-119 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
These teams played Sunday and the total went under by 21 points. The oddsmakers didn’t make enough of a downward adjustment on this total, in our opinion, and there is nice value here on the under. The under is 18-7 in the last 25 meetings in Philly. It is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall. While the offenses will likely make some adjustments from Sunday’s game, we have a lot of wiggle room here for the total even if the offenses play much better. But these are two very good defensive teams. Philly is No. 3 for defense, while the Knicks are right outside the Top 10. But the Knicks have held three of their last four opponents to 104 or less, including these Sixers, and they have stepped up the defense lately. Philly has gone under in four of five, and they have been excellent on the defensive side. We see this one as comfortably under the number. |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Bucks -7.5 v. Lakers | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Lakers in Los Angeles, As a small-market team they normally bring their A Game when playing under the bright lights in the big city, and we think that will be the case again tonight. LeBron broke the scoring record last time out and that is one of the biggest stories in the nation, and we think this could create a letdown spot for them. He is also listed as questionable tonight and his status will no doubt move this line, but we like the Bucks for a comfortable win whether he plays or not. The Bucks are in playoff form right now with eight straight wins, and the Lakers are still trying to figure things out. |
|||||||
02-09-23 | CS Sacramento v. Northern Arizona | 55-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #790 Northern Arizona over Sacramento State (8p.m., Thursday, February 9 ESPN+) The Jacks are just 2-10 in Big Sky play but they have been very competitive of late and look for them to notch their third conference victory of the season at the Skydome. |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Avalanche v. Lightning UNDER 6 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
Tampa Bay has a Top 5 offense so it can be scary betting the under with them, especially as they are one of the top OVER teams in the league. But Colorado is the opposite, and the UNDER is 29-17 for them this season. Their offense stinks, but they are playing excellent defense, and we don’t see the Lightning piling up the goals here. Tampa Bay hasn’t exactly come out of the break in great form. They were destroyed 7-1 at Florida then scored only three in a back-to-back, home loss to San Jose. The Sharks have one of the worst defenses in the league. This is the first meeting since the playoffs, so we think both teams go all out with the defense here. |
|||||||
02-08-23 | Wisconsin +4.5 v. Penn State | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #727 Wisconsin over Penn State (7:30p.m., Thursday, February 8 BTN) Wisconsin is a bad team to play laying points, but they are a strong team to play as an underdog. With a total in the 120s, it will be hard for Penn State to cover this spread unless they go off from the arc. Wisconsin already beat Penn State once this season and expect this game to go down to the wire as well. The underdog is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings between Wisconsin and Penn State. |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Suns -5.5 v. Nets | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Suns have quietly been playing great basketball and they get their Big 3 back tonight as Booker is expected to join the roster. They face a Brooklyn team in flux after the trade of Kyrie Irving, and the Suns will be facing a depleted roster tonight that is on the second night of a back-to-back. We expect a double-digit win from the road team here. |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Sharks v. Lightning OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
Tampa Bay allowed SEVEN goals last night at Florida, so they are coming out of the break not in the greatest form, and on a B2B here they could give up some goals to San Jose, which can be a dangerous offensive team if they are in the zone. San Jose has been one of the top OVER teams in the NHL this season. They normally give up a lot of goals but then can score enough for their share of the total without winning a lot of games. But this is a nice bounce back spot for Tampa Bay, who has been decent in B2Bs, but we see both teams scoring their share of the total in this one. |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Wild v. Coyotes +1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
The Coyotes have been profitable on the puckline this season, mainly as a home underdog and they are 12-8 ATS at home. With extra rest, they should be able to defend the home fortress tonight and keep this one close. Minnesota has a pair of extra time wins and three losses in their last five, so they aren’t in top form. Last time we saw the Coyotes at home, they upset the Blues 5-0. We think they will be competitive here. The Coyotes have covered the puckline in the last three meetings and we think they make it 4-for-4 here tonight as this team isn’t a total pushover anymore and the oddsmakers have been slow to adjust. |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Clippers -7.5 v. Nets | Top | 124-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
The Clippers are quietly one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won seven of nine and their two losses were by one in Milwaukee (in a game they led at one point by 20+) and in Cleveland on the second of a B2B when they rested half the team. Tonight they face a very vulnerable Nets team that not only is missing Durant, but they have other key players on the way out of town and others coming in via the Dallas trade. The Nets will try their hardest but they just don’t have the firepower to stay competitive here tonight. LA has covered in seven of their last eight, and we think this team won’t overlook the Nets since they had lots of struggles before things came together for this recent positive run. |
|||||||
02-05-23 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin -165 | 54-52 | Loss | -165 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #856 Wisconsin -165 money line over Northwestern (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 5 BTN) We keep getting burned with low numbers so we will lay the money line price on Sunday. Wisconsin cannot afford to lose to Northwestern at home if they plan on making the NCAA Tournament come March. The favorite is 18-7 ATS (1 push) in the last 26 games between Northwestern and Wisconsin. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
02-05-23 | 76ers v. Knicks UNDER 225 | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
These are two strong defensive teams. The Knicks are coming not only off a back-to-back but after an OT game vs. the Clippers where they let a lead slip away. So this looks like a flat spot for them, and we don’t see them putting up a big point total here against the No. 6 defense. We think NY will have to rely on their D to keep them competitive here. |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Knicks | Top | 134-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
The Clippers at full strength, which they will likely be tonight, have been playing some of the best basketball in the NBA recently. They deserved the win last time out in Milwaukee and controlled most of that game but couldn’t hit any shots late and lost by one. That makes this game against a lesser opponent even more important. The Clippers have covered in six of their last seven games, with the only non cover coming in Cleveland in the game where a lot of key players sat out. With some of those types of games on the schedule, it makes full squad games like this more important, and we think they take care of business here tonight. The Clips have covered in seven of the last nine visits to MSG. |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Illinois v. Iowa -2 | Top | 79-81 | Push | 0 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #666 Iowa over Illinois (2:30p.m., Saturday, February 2 FOX) BIG 10 GAME OF THE YEAR Iowa is the more desperate team in this contest, and they are finally getting healthy. They are 11-2 at home this season and have the best player on the floor in Kris Murray. He is averaging over 20 points per game and look for a big outing from him today in Iowa City. Illinois has been on a nice run of late, but most if not all of that damage has come against bad teams. This includes wins against Ohio State, Nebraska (2), Wisconsin (2) and Minnesota. Iowa is better than all of those teams. We have seen across the country over the last couple of weeks, that parity is here, and the more desperate team usually gets the win. That will be the case again today with Iowa. The Hawkeyes are 45-20 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 68 home games. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. They get it done today by close to double-digits. |
|||||||
02-03-23 | Suns +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 106-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad and embarrassing loss as they normally bring their A Game in the next outing. That is the case for the Suns here. They were embarrassed at home by the Hawks last time out, 132-100. NBA players have a lot of pride and ego, and good teams don’t often fail to show up in consecutive games. And the Suns had been playing well as they had won six of seven entering that game. Boston has been winning, but they have covered only one of their last seven games as the oddsmakers are posting too high of spreads. They probably won’t be on their A Game against this out-of-conference foe. The Suns aren’t a big underdog often, but they are 5-2 ATS when getting five or more points. The Suns have also had great betting success here in Boston as they have covered in eight of the last 11 meetings. They have also covered in 10 of the last 14 meetings overall. |
|||||||
02-02-23 | Pelicans v. Mavs UNDER 224 | 106-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Both teams have been inconsistent on offense, and we think this is an inflated total tonight. Five of the last six for Dallas have gone under. Four of the last six for New Orleans have gone under. These teams played a high-scoring game last month but that the bookies have not adjusted the total from that matchup tells us a lot here. |
|||||||
02-02-23 | Wisconsin +7.5 v. Ohio State | 65-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #773 Wisconsin over Ohio State (7p.m., Thursday, February 2 FS1) Both teams are in freefall at the moment and desperate for a victory. The metrics continue to overrate this Ohio State team and they are not as good as their net rating suggests. Wisconsin needs to keep this game low scoring and if they do they should be able to keep this game in single digits. Ohio State is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games. |
|||||||
02-01-23 | Warriors v. Wolves +3.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
The Warriors are 8-16 ATS on the road. Minnesota has won three of four and five of seven, and they are quietly playing great basketball right now. These teams have traded ATS covers for the last seven meetings, and it’s now the Timberwolves turn. We think they have a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
02-01-23 | Bruins -117 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Bruins have lost three straight, but there are absolutely no problems with this team. It started out with a tough, well played one-goal loss in Tampa Bay. Then they lost at Florida in OT. They came out flat, as we predicted, the next night in a back-to-back at streaking Carolina. But this game kind of gets important. The league goes into the All Star Break this weekend, and we are confident the Bruins don’t want to go into the break on a four-game slide. They should bring their A Game tonight at a very good Toronto team. But Boston has been head and shoulders the best team in the NHL on both sides of the puck, and we think they get the job done tonight in an important match. |
|||||||
02-01-23 | Creighton v. Georgetown +13.5 | 63-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #662 Georgetown over Creighton (6:30p.m., Wednesday, February 1 CBSSN) Georgetown has been playing better of late and their last 4 games have been played under tonight’s posted number. Creighton is coming off a big win over the weekend but they are still not ranked and this is a lot of points to be laying on the road. Expect a letdown by them after beating conference leader Xavier last time out. |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Indiana v. Maryland -2.5 | 55-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #644 Maryland over Indiana (9p.m., Tuesday, January 31 ESPN2) Maryland is at home and the Hoosiers are still not whole. The Terrapins will enter having won their last two games via blowout and 3 of their last 4 overall. They have the quickness at the guard position to take advantage of the Hoosiers in this game. Indiana is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The home team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between Indiana and Maryland. |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Clippers v. Bulls OVER 225.5 | Top | 108-103 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
The Clippers offense has finally found its stride and the oddsmakers haven’t adjusted enough. We had this total handicapped in the low 230s, so there is insane value on this total tonight. The Clippers had a dud of an offensive game last time out, but half the team was scratched before the game and they played the Cavs, one of the best defensive teams in the league. But prior to that outing, the Clips had scored 120 or more in four of their previous five games. They have gone over in six of their last eight games, and we see the pace and scoring here being fluid and see a competitive game where both teams get their share of the total. |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Senators v. Canadiens UNDER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
Both teams are trending to the under, as it is 12-7-21 in their last 10 games combined. These teams played Saturday in Ottawa, a 5-0 Senators victory. Montreal had been playing pretty solid defense leading up to the game, and they weren’t as bad in that one as the score might indicate since Ottawa had two late goals, an empty netter and another in the final minute after the Canadians had already conceded. With two days of rest, both defenses should have a lot of energy. Montreal will no doubt make some defensive adjustments. The under is 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings in Montreal. It is 14-5-1 in the last 20 meetings. We think those trends hold true here on Tuesday. |

01-30-23 | Raptors v. Suns -1.5 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
The Suns have won five of six. They are getting healthier and trending upwards. We think this line is more than fair for the home team tonight. The Raptors normally don’t play up to expectations when a small dog like this as they are 4-7 ATS when a dog of under 2.5 points. They are only 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings in Phoenix and 5-14 ATS in the last 19 meetings overall. Since these teams don’t meet often, that is a trend that goes back years. We expect the home team to pull away late in the game. |

01-29-23 | Bengals -2 v. Chiefs | Top | 20-23 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 25 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #323 Cincinnati Bengals over Kansas City Chiefs (6:40p.m., Sunday, January 29 CBS) Everyone is on the Bengals, which is sometimes a scary proposition, but as the games dwindle down, the public usually gets the big games correct. The Chiefs opened up as a favorite, but the wise guys and public were having no part of that. Cincinnati is now favored and the line during the week keeps going up. Joe Burrow has beaten Kansas City all three times in his career including earlier this season. The Chiefs are 1-8 (ATS) 1 push in their last 10 home games. The Bengals have won 10 straight games and will earn another trip to the Super Bowl on Sunday. Cincinnati has offensive line issues, but that was not a factor last week in Buffalo. Kansas City has quarterback issues with Patrick Mahomes suffering a high ankle sprain against Jacksonville last time out. He will play but I expect the injury to be worse this week compared to last week. Cincinnati is 13-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games against teams with a winning record. Kansas City is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. Joe Cool advances as we ride the public and the hot hand. |

01-29-23 | Providence v. Villanova +1.5 | 70-65 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 55 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #822 Villanova over Providence (12p.m., Sunday, January 29 FS1) The Wildcats are the more desperate team in this matchup and have played pretty well at home this season. The Friars are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games played on Sunday. |

01-28-23 | Illinois v. Wisconsin +110 | 61-51 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #658 Wisconsin over Illinois (3p.m., Saturday, January 28 FOX) Wisconsin is in freefall but Illinois at home is the spot for them to get back on track. They were completely healthy for this game and played pretty well at Illinois without Tyler Wahl earlier this month. Wisconsin must win the game in order to make the NCAA Tournament come March. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

01-27-23 | Bucks -8.5 v. Pacers | Top | 141-131 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Bucks are trending upward and have won four of five, including a big win over Indiana less than two weeks ago. The Bucks needed a rally as the Pacers played well in the first half. But Milwaukee ended up winning by double digits. We expect to see a more complete game from the Bucks here. They match up very well against the Pacers and have a strong history against them as they have covered in seven of the last nine meetings. Five of those games were double digit blowouts. The Pacers started off the season strong but now might not even make the play in. They have covered only two of their last 10 games. |

01-27-23 | Senators +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
We like to look to the underdog in certain spots when Canadian teams play each other since the underdog tends to up its game in these situations. Seven of the last nine meetings, including the last two, were one-goal games. Toronto is 9-17 against the puckline in home games this season. |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Spurs v. Clippers -12.5 | 100-138 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
The Clippers have won three straight, including a win over these Clippers in San Antonio, and they are playing better every game as they get healthy. The last time they played here in LA they won by more than 20, and we could see that type of result here with the Spurs coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Red Wings v. Canadiens +143 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
We think this is great value on the Canadians. They have won three of five. Last time out they lost 4-2 to Boston but this game was tied late and there was an empty netter, so it was closer than it seems. Montreal has won 12 of 15 meetings at home, and we think they have a great chance for the win here tonight. |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Hawks v. Thunder +2 | 137-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
OKC has had a couple days off and they should be well rested and ready to go here and are winners of five of their last six. This is one of the top ATS teams in the league the last couple seasons and they keep getting the job done. Atlanta is much better at home than on the road, and they are trending downward with two straight losses. OKC has covered 25 of the last 36 meetings. |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Islanders +116 v. Senators | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
The Islanders have been piling up the losses lately. However, they have faced a very tough schedule littered with contender type teams. They face a step down in competition tonight, and they should be very focused on the win. They certainly have had the Senators number. They are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings, one of the most lopsided series in the NHL at the moment. Ottawa hasn’t been good either, as they have dropped six of their last eight games overall. The Islanders have been struggling but they are the much stronger team here, and they need a win badly and they should come in confident against a team that they have dominated for a long stretch now. |

01-25-23 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Maryland | 55-73 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #685 Wisconsin over Maryland (7p.m., Wednesday, January 25 BTN) Wisconsin already beat Maryland once this season and with a total of only 125 I expect this game to go down to the wire. The road team is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Wisconsin and Maryland. |
