5 Unit Play. Take #510 William & Mary over Northeastern (7p.m. Thursday January 18) A battle of top teams in the CAA takes place tonight in Williamsburg, VA. Bill and Mary have won 5 of their last 6 games and will look to put the bad taste out of their month losing to Towson last time out. Northeastern is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. William & Mary is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. 

5 Unit Play. Take #762 Xavier over St. Johns (8:30p.m., Wednesday January 17 CBSSN) St Johns has taken a major step backwards under Chris Mullen this season. They are 0-6 in Big East play and that includes losing three straight home games. Xavier is one of the top teams in the country and can score points from every position on the court. They regrouped from a two-game losing streak to pound Creighton by 22 points last time out. St John is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Xavier is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games. Both trends hold true tonight as we collect in the process as well. 

4 Unit Play. Take #516 Eastern Michigan over Akron (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 ESPN 3) The Eagles are in desperate need of a victory as they have started off the season poorly at 1-3 in MAC play. Akron should provide the recipe to get back on track as they are in a complete rebuild mode. When Akron loses they tend to get blown out and that should be the case again on Tuesday. The Zips are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #521 Wisconsin over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 ESPN) Sooner or later Wisconsin is going to cover a spread. This is a lot of points to be giving for a conference match-up and the line has been coming down since it come out Monday afternoon. Wisconsin is bad, but I feel they can keep this game around 9-11 deficit and thus cover the spread. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played on Tuesday. They have the size to match-up down low with Purdue and that should prevent them from being blown out. 

4 Unit Play. Take #532 Mississippi State over Vanderbilt (7p.m., Tuesday January 16 SECN) The Bulldogs appear to have taken a step backwards under Ben Howland this season and they need this home win tonight against Vanderbilt. The Commodores will also enter this game having lost three straight games and I do not see them breaking that losing streak on the road. Vanderbilt is 1-15 ATS in their last 16 games. Mississippi State is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #747 Kansas over West Virginia (9p.m., Monday January 15 ESPN) It is not often you find a spread this big against Kansas. Despite losing some home game this season they Jayhawks will be a tough out in conference play and I am not ready to bet against them to win the Big 12. Kansas is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. If Kansas can weather the storm early they should be able to take this game down to the wire and thus we will collect with whoever comes out on top. 

4 Unit Play. Take #746 Baylor over Oklahoma State (9p.m., Monday January 15 ESPN U) The Cowboys pulled out a miraculous victory against Texas at home on Saturday in a game they trailed for nearly all 40 minutes. Playing on the road is different in conference play and I expect them to lose this game by double digits. The Bears are desperate for any win they can get currently at 1-4 in Big 12 play and cannot afford to look past any of the lesser teams in the league. Oklahoma State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Big 12 games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #755 Bucknell over Colgate (7p.m., Monday January 15 CBSSN) The Bison are one of the top teams in the Patriot League this season and they look to move to 5-1 in conference play tonight. Bucknell is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Colgate is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Monday.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #822 Rutgers over Ohio State (7p.m., Sunday January 14 BTN) I believe Ohio State is playing over their heads and they are not good enough to be giving this many points on the road. Only 1 of the Scarlet Knights four conference losses have come over the posted number for today’s game. Rutgers took Michigan State to the wire this week and I expect this game to be close throughout the entire 40 minutes. Ohio State is 13-30 ATS (1 push) in their 44 road games. Rutgers is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. 

4 Unit Play. Take #715 Montana State -1 over Sacramento State (10:05p.m., Saturday January 13) the Bobcats played one of their worst games of the season last time out and expect them to get back on track tonight in Sacramento. This team has still won four of their last five games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings between Montana State and Sacramento State.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #668 Take Boise State -3 over San Diego State (10p.m., Saturday January 13 ESPN 2) The Aztecs have some bad losses on the season and I feel Boise State is the clear cut second best team in the league. The Broncos are undefeated at home this season and all 4 of their conference wins this season have been convincing. Boise State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. 

10 Unit Play. Take #604 Take Oklahoma State -1.5 over Texas (5p.m., Saturday January 13 ESPNN) The Cowboys need all the wins that they can get in the Big 12 and they should be able beat Texas at home. The Pokes are averaging over 81 points per game and I just do not believe Texas will be able to keep up with this in this game. Texas is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. Oklahoma State is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. 

4 Unit Play. Take #578 Over 148.5 in Colorado State @ Wyoming (4p.m., Saturday January 13 CBSSN) Wyoming has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 7 games. Colorado State has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 8 road games. The over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the Rams and the Cowboys. Expect this border battle to go over as well. 

4 Unit Play. Take #550 Florida State -4.5 over Syracuse (2p.m., Saturday January 13 ACCN) Syracuse is not very good this season and they will have trouble wining any game on the road. Despite covering the spread they were never really in the game against Virginia and will enter this game having lost three straight. This is also their third road game in their last 4 games overall. The Seminoles are coming off a bad loss to Louisville at home and need to get back on track and they will win this game by double digits. 

4 Unit Play. Take #850 Over in Idaho at Eastern Washington (10:30p.m., Friday January 12) Eastern Washington has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 home games. Idaho has gone over the posted total in 12 of their last 17 conference games. This game should go down to the wire and thus some fouling will occur at the end of this game to propel the total score of both teams in to the 150s.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #563 Arizona State over Oregon (10p.m., Thursday January 11) The Sun Devils have played three straight road games to open conference play. They are ready for some home cooking and will win this game by double digits. Oregon is nowhere near the same team that made the Final Four last season. Arizona State needs an easy game and it will come tonight. 

3 Unit Play. Take #608 Take Over in Montana @ Sacramento State (10:05p.m., Thursday January 11) Sacramento State has gone over the posted total 4 of their last 5 games. Montana has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 games. I expect some fouling to occur at the end of the game which should propel this game over the posted number.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #559 Take San Diego over Pacific (10p.m., Thursday January 11) I believe that the Toreros are the third best team in the WCC this season. They enter this game having won 7 of their last 9 games. The Tigers have lost 6 of their last 8 games including an 18 point loss to Saint Mary’s. San Diego lost by just 7 points to that same team. Pacific is 6-20 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 28 games following a victory in their previous game. San Diego is 21-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 30 road games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #526 William & Mary over James Madison (7p.m., Thursday January 11) No bet against James Madison is a bad bet at this point of the season. The Dukes have lost five straight games and they will struggle to win any conference game this season. William & Mary sits atop the CAA standing and they will win this game by double digits. 

5 Unit Play. Take #773 Wyoming over New Mexico (9p.m., Wednesday January 10) New Mexico is just in a complete rebuilding mode and nowhere in the same class as Wyoming is at this point of the season. The Lobos are 2-2 in the conference, but those two wins have come against San Jose State and Air Force, the two worst teams in the league. They can get up occasionally, but they cannot consistently play with the best teams in the MWC. Wyoming has played a brutal schedule thus far in MWC play and they are 2-1 with their only loss coming at Nevada, the best team in the league. Playing at the Pit is not what it once was. Wyoming is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 conference games. New Mexico is 5-15 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games following an ATS win in their previous game. 

4 Unit Play. Take #561 Boise State over Fresno State (11p.m., Tuesday January 9 ESPN U) I just believe Boise State is the second-best team in the MWC this season. The Broncos are coming off a bad loss against Wyoming in which they blew a double-digit lead in that game to lose by one point. Fresno State is always a tough out at home, but they lost a lot of firepower from last year. Boise State already has a win at UNLV and they do not have a bad loss this season. The Bulldogs have yet to earn a quality win on the season and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. The Broncos are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #547 Wisconsin over Nebraska (8:30p.m., Tuesday January 9 Big 10 Network) We will follow the line movement in this game. Wisconsin did not get anything from Ethan Happ on Friday and thus they suffered a loss at Rutgers. They will need more from him tonight, but it should be easier to face Nebraska, as they do not pressure the ball like Rutgers does. Tim Miles is all but fired come March and I just do not believe Nebraska will have much success in the Big 10. Wisconsin is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games played on Tuesday. 

4 Unit Play. Take #546 Over in Syracuse @ Virginia (8p.m., Tuesday January 9 ACC Network) Do not see this low of a total much in college basketball anymore. It is with reason, but I believe this will be a competitive game with some fouling at the end to propel this total. Syracuse has gone over the posted total in 22 of their last 29 road games (1 push). The last 5 head to head meetings have gone over the posted total three times (1 push). 

5 Unit Play. Take #853 Canisius over Siena (3p.m., Sunday January 7 ESPN 3) The Saints are terrible and anytime you get a number this low you have to press against them. This team has lost two straight home games and they are the only winless team in the MAAC. Canisius is the only undefeated team in the MAAC and they are clearly one of the top teams in the league. They have gotten out of their nonconference funk and will enter this bus trip having won five straight games. Siena is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games. Jimmy Patsos is clearly on the hot seat and things will not get any better for his squad this afternoon.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #830 Oakland over Wright State (3p.m., Sunday January 7 ESPN 3) It is not often you find a 1-2 team favored by this much over a 3-0 team in conference play but that is the situation on Sunday. Oakland is desperate for a victory and I expect them to get this game by double digits. Wright State is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record. Oakland is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Horizon League games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #541 Duke over NC State (8p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN) NC State has been blown out twice in conference play to open the 2017-2018 ACC season. They will have some fight early in this game but will fade in the second half. Duke already suffered a loss at Boston College and thus they cannot afford to take this game lightly. When Duke win it tends to come big and that will be the case again tonight. Duke is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 road games. NC State is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #694 Take Austin Peay over SE Missouri State (8p.m., Saturday January 6) The Governors have won three straight OVC games to open conference play and expect them to win this game by double digits at home. The Redhawks have lost 5 of their last 6 games and they have no been competitive in those losses. Austin Peay is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #623 Green Bay over Youngstown State (7p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN 3) The Penguins are playing over their head at the moment having won both of their conference games but they are about to come back down to reality. Green Bay took Cleveland State to the wire and expect them to finish the task on Saturday and pull out the victory. Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on Saturday. Youngstown State is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #614 Take Auburn over Arkansas (6p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN U) Arkansas is just a different team on the road and they pressure is just does not have the same effect. Auburn has quietly become one of the top teams in the SEC at 13-1 and they have not had that many competitive games in those victories. The Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Tide is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 SEC games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #682 Take Furman over Mercer (4:30p.m., Saturday January 6 ESPN 3) Mercer is just not the traditional power in conference play this season. They enter this game having lost 5 of their last 7 games and will lose this game by 6-8 points tonight. Since December Furman has lost just 1 game. 

10 Unit Play. Take #827 Wisconsin over Rutgers (7p.m., ESPN 2) Just do not trust Rutgers at all. This has been a bottom feeder program for much of their existence and anytime you get this low of a number you need to press. After beating Seton Hall, Rutgers has lost three games in a row and they have yet to win a Big 10 game this season. Wisconsin still has Ethan Happ and he alone is better than anything Rutgers will put on the floor. The Badgers have won 5 straight games and that has given them confidence that they will take into this game. Just seeing the ball go into the basket can help young players. I still do not believe that this is an NCAA Tournament team, but they still have a system and that usually is good enough to beat inferior teams. Rutgers has played Wisconsin tough in the past and that means Coach Gard (3-0 against them) will not take them lightly. Rutgers is 17-38 ATS in their last 55 Big 10 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. #593 Take Portland State over Eastern Washington (9p.m., Thursday January 4) The Vikings do not want to start conference play 0-2 and thus it is important for them to come ready to play and win this game. This team has won 6 of their last 8 games including a 25 point victory at Cal. The Eagles enter this game having lost 6 of their last 9 games. Portland State is 20-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 30 road games. Eastern Washington is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a victory in their previous game. 

2 Unit Play. Take #544 Take Colorado over Arizona State (8:30p.m., PAC-12 Network) ASU put a lot into their game at Arizona and they lost it in a close game. Sometimes a loss like that causes another road loss since their undefeated season came to an end. This team is still in unfamiliar territory and I am not convinced that they will be able to handle prosperity. The Buffaloes are a much stronger team at home and I just do not see them getting run off the floor this evening. CU Boulder is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #786 Take Over in Cal Riverside @ Cal Fullerton (10p.m., Wednesday January 3) When these two teams met expect a lot of points to be scored. The over has collected in 9 of the last 11 meetings between Cal Riverside and Cal Fullerton. The Highlanders have gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 conference games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

6 Unit Play. Take #784 Take Boise State over New Mexico (9p.m., Wednesday January 3) The Lobos have gotten up for a couple of games this season against TCU and Nevada but they cannot consistently stay with good teams on the road. They caught Nevada at just the right time as most of the Pack has the flu last Saturday. Boise State has the most impressive win in the MWC thus far winning at UNLV over the weekend. They have won 8 of their last 9 games. The Lobos have gotten blown out by UTEP, Colorado, Maryland, and New Mexico State. Boise State is better than all of those teams. New Mexico is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Boise State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #746 Duquesne over George Washington (7p.m., Wednesday January 3) I do not expect either one of these teams to make much noise in the Atlantic 10 this season. That being said I am a fan of Keith Dambrot, as he had great success at Akron and should make Dukes much more competitive in the Atlantic-10. The Colonials have not played a true road game since December 9th and they will struggle to win many games on the road. George Washington is 3-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 road games following 3 or more consecutive home games. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these two teams. 

5 Unit Play. #524 Take Wisconsin over Indiana (7 pm ESPN) Neither one of these teams will make the NCAA Tournament but Wisconsin is at home and they have had great success against Indiana over the years. The Badgers enter this game having won four straight and the last three by blowouts. Wisconsin has covered the spread 4 of their last 5 games against Indiana and they have a great win/loss record against them. Indiana is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #854 Take Over in Virginia Tech @ Syracuse (6p.m., December 31) Virginia Tech is always a strong over team and that should hold true again on Sunday. The Hokies have gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 10 games. Syracuse has gone over the posted total in 17 of their last 27 games (2 pushes). 

2 Unit Play. Take #850 Take Georgia over Kentucky (6p.m., December 31) The Wildcats have been a strong over play over the last three weeks. Kentucky has gone over the posted total 7 straight games. Georgia has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 13 SEC games. 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams have went over the posted total as well. 

2 Unit Play. #646 Take Austin Peay over Eastern Illinois (8p.m., Saturday December 30) The Governors have had an easy start to OVC playing to bad teams to open the season. They beat SIUE by twenty points and expect another easy victory tonight against Eastern Illinois. The Panthers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Austin Peay is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

2 Unit Play. #608 Take UTSA over North Texas (8p.m., Saturday December 30) Back to Back road games for the Mean Green, as the Road Runners look to move to 2-0 on the season. UTSA is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. North Texas is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a victory in their previous game. 

3 Unit Play. #619 Take St Mary’s over BYU (4p.m., Saturday December 30 ESPN U) The Gaels have played their traditional home heavy nonconference schedule and they will enter this game having won 7 straight games. St Mary’s had great success against BYU last season and the Cougars have not come close to getting back their NCAA Tournament level the last few years. 

2 Unit Play. #534 Take Green Bay over Oakland (1p.m., Saturday December 30 ESPN 3) Just do not see a blowout in back to back road games for Oakland to go along with an early start. They are clearly the best team in this game but playing in Green Bay is always a tough task. Oakland is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Green Bay is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 played on Saturday. 

4 Unit Play. Take #845 Kansas State over Iowa State (9p.m., Friday December 29 ESPN U) The Cyclones have won 9 straight games, but this will be the toughest team that they have faced thus far in 2017-2018. Kansas State is 10-2 on the season and they have played challenging road games and have come out on top in most of those games. Iowa State is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Kansas State has covered the spread in 4 straight Big 12 games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #847 Kansas over Texas (9p.m., Friday December 29 ESPN 2) It is Big 12 play and thus expect Kansas to rise to the top of the standing. One thing is always a given and that is Kansas will win the conference as they have done so all but one year during the Bill Self era. Texas had played a strong schedule, but they seem to struggle down the stretch in close games. If Kansas can weather the storm early and stabilize the game, they will pull away late and win this game by 6-8 points. Kansas is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Texas is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #828 Appalachian State over Texas State (7:30p.m., Friday December 29) These are likely middle of the pack teams in the Sun Belt Conference but expect the Mountaineers to emerge victorious at home. The Bobcats have a winning record but they do not have an quality wins on the season. Have you ever heard of Ecclesia or McMurry? These are teams Texas State has beaten. TSU is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games against teams with a winning home record. 

3 Unit Play. Take #858 Under in Rider @ Canisius (4:30pm., Friday December 29) The last 11 times these two teams have met the under has cashed 8 times. Canisius has gone under the posted total in their last 27 home games 20 times (1 push). Rider has gone under the posted total in 35 of their last 51 road games. 

4 Unit Play. #529 Take Oakland over Milwaukee (8p.m., Thursday December 28) The Golden Grizzles are the top team in the league and should be able to take down the Panthers in Milwaukee tonight. Oakland played a very challenging nonconference schedule and they should accumulate a lot of wins in conference as Kansas, Syracuse, & Michigan State are not in the Horizon League. Oakland is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Horizon League games. Milwaukee is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #739 Take Nevada over Fresno State (10 pm) Nevada wants this game in the worst way. Fresno State beat Nevada twice last season before Nevada finally turned the tide in the MWC Conference Tournament. The Pack suffered a bad loss last time out against San Francisco hurting their at-large changes for a bid into the NCAA Tournament. They need to be close to perfect during conference play and it starts tonight in Fresno. Nevada is 26-10 ATS in their last 36 MWC games. 

3 Unit Play. #727 Take Xavier over Marquette (8:30 pm FS1) The Golden Eagles are 9-3 on the season but they have not recorded a quality victory in those nine wins. Xavier has the guards to match-up with them and the size down low to do damage. Xavier is 12-1 on the season with their only loss coming against Arizona State, one of the best teams in the country. They already have road wins at Wisconsin and Northern Iowa with both coming by double digits. Marquette is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Xavier is 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games. 

4 Unit Play. #550 Take Missouri over Illinois (8 pm ESPN 2) Missou has done respectable despite not having Michael Porter Jr this season. Illinois is rebuilding under a new coach and Missou needs to need this four-game losing streak this year. Missouri is father along at this point with their new coach than is Illinois evident by the fact they have won five straight games. Illinois is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games played on Saturday. 

4 Unit Play. #558 Take UC Davis over Radford (5:30 pm) We will ride the Aggies again today after an easy cash with them on Friday. This team just has a knack for winning these mid-major games early in the season. Their style of play becomes frustrating for opponents. Radford is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. UC Davis is 7-1 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 10 nonconference games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #542 Take Minnesota over Florida Atlantic (3:30 pm BTN) Sooner or later Minnesota is going to put it all together and cover one of these twenty point spreads. They played much better in the second half against Oral Roberts on Thursday and look for them to carry that momentum into Saturday against another inferior opponent. This team is not a lock to make the NCAA Tournament but they are in the midst of six straight home games and expect them to win all of them. FAU got run over by Texas Tech on Tuesday and their next game is against their rival Florida International. Richard Pitino coached at FIU and thus you can get he wants to beat FAU big today. FAU is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. Minnesota is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Conference USA teams. 

4 Unit Play. #552 Take North Carolina over Ohio State (1:30 pm CBS) Ohio State got run off the floor last year in this tournament against UCLA and expect a similar result today against an angry UNC. Carolina lost to Wofford last time out and Coach Williams cannot be happy about that. Ohio State has a new coach and it is in complete rebuild mode since he did not take over until the summer months. Ohio State is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games. North Carolina is 7-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. 

4 Unit Play. #852 Take Alabama over Texas (9 pm ESPN 2) Both teams are fringe Top 25 teams that will likely make the NCAA Tournament come March. The Longhorns have beaten the teams that they are supposed to beat but only have a victory against Butler as an impressive win. Alabama has a ton of talent and has a homecourt edge as this game takes place in Birmingham, AL. Texas is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Alabama is 33-16 ATS (1 push) in their last 50 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. 

4 Unit Play. #895 Take SIU Edwardsville over Central Michigan (7 pm ESPN 3) The Chippewas have played a very weak schedule to amass their 9-2 record and I do not see a blowout tonight. This team lost a lot of talent from their squad last season and they will struggle to win games in the MAC. The Cougars have won three straight games and should be able to put up some points in this game since the Chippewas do not play much defense.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #864 Take UC Davis over Lamar (5:30 pm) Just like the system UC Davis runs and expect them to take down the Cardinals this afternoon in Las Vegas, NV. The Aggies have played a much more challenging schedule than have the Cardinals and that will prepare them to win this game. UC Davis is 12-3 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 18 games overall. 

4 Unit Play. #568 Take Idaho over UC Irvine (9:30 pm) The Anteaters are in a funk now having lost five straight games and I do not see things getting better in Boise. Idaho has a lot of talent back and they are 8-3 on the season with two of their loses coming against UCSB. They already have a win against Washington State and they will win this game by double digits. Idaho is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a losing record. Irvine is 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #564 Take Minnesota over Oral Roberts (8 pm) Minnesota has not been playing up to their talent level of late and they need a game to get back on track. Oral Roberts should provide a 30-point victory for Minnesota. When the Golden Eagles lose they tend to lose big and that will be the case once again on Thursday. Oral Roberts is 4-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 road games. 

4 Unit Play. #520 Take South Florida over Charlotte (7 pm) The 49ers fired a former NBA player as their coach this season and I do not see a remarkable turnaround for them upcoming. Charlotte has lost four of their last five games and they are just 1-3 in true road games. USF has won two straight games and for the most part they have beaten the teams they were supposed to beat especially at home. Charlotte is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. USF is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Thursday. 

4 Unit Play. #728 Take Over in Northeastern @ St Bonaventure (7 pm) The Bonies are at home and that should allow them to dictate their style of play when they come close to scoring 80 points. St Bona has gone over the posted total in their last 4 games against CAA teams. Northeastern has gone over the posted total in 3 of their last 5 games (1 push).

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #546 Take Arkansas over Oral Roberts (8 pm SECN+) The Razorbacks are a much better team at home where they are called for less fouls and their press is very effective. Oral Roberts has already been blown out by Oklahoma State, Penn State, and UNLV and Arkansas is a better team than all three of them. In fact, Arkansas will be the best team they have faced this season. Arkansas is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. 

4 Unit Play. #748 Take Montana State over Denver (9 pm) The Pioneers are 0-4 on the road this year including back to back road losses to Northern Colorado and Stanford by a combined 33 points. This is their third straight road game and I see them losing this game by double digits as well. The Bobcats are coming off a terrible performance last time out against Santa Barbara and they will be eager to get back on the court and get that out of their system. Denver is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. #816 Take Over in Texas State @ Colorado State (5 pm) The Rams lost a ton of talent from their team last and they do not play much defense this season. Colorado State has gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 12 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. This should be a competitive game with a lot of scoring and we will not worry who covers this game and just collect with the over.

4 Unit Play. #573 Take Arizona +13.5 over New Mexico (8 pm CBSSN) The Wildcats laid an egg in the Bahamas but they have been perfect in the mainland. New Mexico is terrible and in a complete rebuild mode that they may not be able to get out off. No bet against the Lobos is a bad bet. 

4 Unit Play. #628 Take Over 161 in North Dakota @ Gonzaga (8 pm ESPN 3) Both teams are trending toward the over and thus we will expect another high scoring game tonight in Spokane, WA. North Dakota was gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 9 games. Gonzaga has gone over the posted total in 5 straight games.

10 Unit Play. #570 Take Marshall over Ohio (8 pm) The Thundering Herd play an up-tempo three-point shooting style of offense that reminds teams of a Mike D’Antoni type of team. That is because his brother Don is the coach of this team and when they are making three-point shots this is a tough team to beat. That task is even much tougher at the Henderson Center and these two teams actually met last year in Huntington with Marshall winning that game, 98-88. That game should feature a big crowd since the start time was pushed back in order to show the bowl game on the jumbotron. Since that game I feel Marshall has gotten better and Ohio has stayed the same having to replace key people from their team last season. Both teams are coming off impressive victories, but Marshall is 6-0 at home and has won three straight games. Marshall is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games. Ohio is 4-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 games following an ATS victory in their previous game. 

4 Unit Play. #563 Take Eastern Michigan -1.5 over Long Beach State (7 pm) The 49ers overschedule every year and thus their record is always hard to figure out. But they did not perform that well in Big West play last year and this brutal schedule eventually takes its toll on this team. The Eagles are one of the top teams in the MAC and they will enter this game having won three of their last four games. EMU has covered 4 of their last 5 nonconference games.

4 Unit Play. #600 Take Florida State -6 over Oklahoma State (2 pm FS2) The Pokes are 7-2 but they do not have any quality wins on the season. Their two games against NCAA Tournament teams they were blown out and this will be three in a row since Florida State will make the Big Dance. The Noles are for real and they will have the home court edge since this game takes place in Sunrise, FL. The Pokes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against ACC teams. The Seminoles are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 

4 Unit Play. #530 Take Kentucky -5.5 over Virginia Tech (2 pm ESPN 2) The Hokies can score a lot of points but they do not play much defense and thus Kentucky will wear them down in the second half especially since this game takes place in Lexington. The Wildcats are 8-1 but some of their wins have been less than impressive. With conference play just around the corner expect Kentucky to start playing better basketball. 

4 Unit Play. #724 Take Wisconsin over Western Kentucky (8 pm FS1) The Badgers have a low moral after getting pounded by their in-state rival on Saturday and losing two starting guards. But WKU does not have the guards that Marquette has and thus they will not be able to exploit Wisconsin’s weakness. The Hilltoppers had an impressive showing in the Bahamas but this is only their second true road game of the season. WKU lost to Ohio coached by a former Bo Ryan player and thus Wisconsin will have a great scouting report for them tonight. WKU is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. #523 Take Georgia Southern over George Mason (7 pm) The Patriots are 5-5 on the season but they have yet to record a quality win. Those victories have come against bottom feeder teams Lafayette, Northridge, & North Carolina Central. Georgia Southern has a victory over Wake Forest this season and will enter this game having won two straight. The Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on Tuesday. The Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. 

3 Unit Play. #804 Take UNLV -5 over Illinois (12 am ESPN 2) Illinois is in rebuild mode and UNLV has been one of the surprise teams thus far this season. The Illini are 0-2 in true road games and those came against Northwestern and Wake Forest, two teams that will struggle to make the NCAA Tournament. Illinois is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday. UNLV is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games.

3 Unit Play. #795 Take San Jose State +4.5 over Portland (10 pm) No bet against the Pilots is a bad bet this season. They have lost five of their last six games with their only victory during this span coming against Multnomah (whoever that is). San Jose State basketball is much better than San Jose State football and they have hung tough on the road recently. 

3 Unit Play. #800 Take Over 141 in Fresno State @ Cal Poly (10 pm) Fresno State has gone over the posted total in four straight games. Fresno State is averaging 82 points per game and if they hit that mark on Saturday we will be in good shape to collect with the over. 

3 Unit Play. #780 Take Toledo -5.5 over Marshall (7 pm ESPN 3) Marshall is a completely different team on the road then when playing in Huntington. The Rockets are a perfect 4-0 at home this season and are coming off a nice road win at Detroit last time out. Two of their three losses have come against Kansas and Syracuse. Marshall is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. 

3 Unit Play. #788 Take Arkansas -4 over Minnesota (6:45 pm SECN) Arkansas and their press is much more effective at Bud Walton Arena. They seem to be allowed to play more physical and officials call less fouls on them. Minnesota is a sinking ship now having lost two of their last three games despite being sizable favorites in both of those games. Arkansas is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games against Big 10 teams. Arkansas gets their revenge in a big way. 

3 Unit Play. #525 Take TCU over Nevada (1 am ESPN U) Sometimes one loss can become two. Nevada lead the whole game with Texas Tech before blowing it late in regulation and losing in overtime. TCU is well rested and knows they also need a quality out of conference win to ensure that they receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament come march. TCU has the guards to match-up with Nevada’s small line-up and their physical style of play is something Nevada does not see often. TCU is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 neutral site games. Nevada is 12-25 ATS (1 push) in their last 37 neutral site games. Nevada has played a brutal road schedule over the last week and that will catch up with them during the early morning hours. 

4 Unit Play. #522 Take Arizona State over St. Johns (8 pm PAC 12 Network) The Sun Devils have been on a wrecking crew this year and are ranked under third year coach Bobby Hurley for the first time in his tenure. They are 7-0 and already have impressive victories against Xavier, San Diego State, & Kansas State. St Johns is 7-1 but they have yet to record a victory against an NCAA Tournament quality team. The Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. ASU has covered the spread in 6 straight games. 

4 Unit Play. #601 Take Portland State over LMU (10 pm) The Vikings are coming off a win against Stanford and they are 6-2 on the season and do not have a bad loss (Duke and Butler). This team is for real and should challenge for the top spot in the Big Sky Conference. LMU is 4-3 on the season and they do not have a bad loss either, but they have yet to record a quality win. Portland State has covered the spread in 6 straight games.

3 Unit Play. #539 Take Buffalo over Delaware (7 pm) The Blue Hens are coming off two straight losses and I do not see things turning around against Buffalo tonight. The Bulls are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. Expect them to cover yet again in a nonconference road game. 

4 Unit Play. #527 Take Oakland over Eastern Michigan (7 pm) This battle of Michigan will go they way of the Golden Grizzles, as they will be looking for their fourth straight win. Oakland has a system that they excel at under their long-time coach and look for them to take down EMU this evening. Eastern Michigan is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Oakland is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Wednesday. 

4 Unit Play. #525 Take Wisconsin over Temple (7 pm ESPN U) The Badgers look to sweep their two game set against eastern PA teams tonight with a victory in Philadelphia against Temple. The Owls have not major conference wins against lesser teams in those leagues but they also have bad losses against George Washington and LaSalle. Wisconsin has confidence going into this game after hanging on for dear life against Penn State last time out. Look for them to carry that over into another victory tonight. 

4 Unit Play. #722 Take Missouri over Miami OH (9 pm) The RedHawks are 5-3 on the season but they have not played anybody this and all three of their losses have come by double digits. The Tigers have much improved under their new coach and expect them to win this game by 20+ points. Missouri is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games played on Tuesdays. 

4 Unit Play. #734 Take TCU over SMU (9 pm) This battle of Dallas will go the way of the Horned Frogs. TCU is a perfect 8-0 on the season and Coach Dixon has turned this program around in just over a year. The Mustangs already have two bad losses on the season to WKU and Northern Iowa and they will lose this game by double digits. TCU is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record. 

4 Unit Play. #738 Take Villanova over Gonzaga (7 pm ESPN) The Bulldogs are rebuilding this season and flying cross country to take on the Wildcats will be too tough of task for them to overcome. Villanova is undefeated on this season and they have lots of experience playing at Madison Square Garden. The Wildcats have not really had a competitive game this season and I expect them to pull away in the second half as well in this game. Gonzaga is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Villanova is 44-20 ATS (1 push) in their last 65 nonconference games. 

3 Unit Play. #525 Take Wisconsin over Penn State (7 pm ESPN 2) The Badgers are coming off an embarrassing loss to Ohio State on Saturday. That was their worst home defeat based on margin on victory ever at the Kohl Center. Much of that was due to Ohio State shooting out of their minds from the three-point line and I just do not believe Penn State will be able to replicate that. Wisconsin took Baylor and UCLA to the wire and I do not believe Penn State is on the same level as those teams. Penn State has never been a top team in the league and we will grab the points tonight in State College. The Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 Big 10 Conference games. 

4 Unit Play. #750 Take Washington over Nebraska Omaha (7 pm PAC-12 Network) The Huskies have played a home heavy schedule against bad teams and that will continue on Sunday. The Mavericks are just 1-7 on the season and have not been very competitive on the road. Washington should continue to improve under their first-year head coach and expect them to take another step forward on Sunday night.

4 Unit Play. #735 Take Rutgers over Minnesota (6 pm BTN) Minnesota is coming off a disappointing home performance in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and I do not see things getting any better on Sunday. The Scarlet Knights are off to a strong start this season and they were respectable against Florida State last week. Just hard to lay double digits in conference games and I see Minnesota winning this game by 7-9 points giving us the cover with the underdog. 

4 Unit Play. #722 Take Over in Seton Hall @ Louisville (4 pm ESPN) We used the Hall as our Game of the Year on Thursday and expect their hot shooting to continue Sunday when they invade Louisville. The Cardinals have gone over the posted total in their last 4 games against Big East teams. The Pirates have gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games. 

3 Unit Play. #598 Take UC Irvine over Nevada (10 pm) We are just taking the law of averages with Nevada. Sooner or later playing these road games is going to catch up with them. Irvine is always one of the top teams in the Big West and they are always a tough out at home. Nevada has an important game with Texas Tech on deck and I think they will just go through the motions in this game and win it by 6-8 points. Nevada is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against Big West teams.

4 Unit Play. #523 Take Colorado over Colorado State (1 pm) The Rams have lost a ton of talent from last year and they have gotten pounded by every decent team that they have played. The Buffaloes have played a home heavy easy schedule thus year, but they are 6-0 and they have revenge from last season. Colorado State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. 

2 Unit Play. #718 Take Maryland over Purdue (7 pm BTN) Just do not believe that any Big 10 team besides Michigan State can handle prosperity this year. Teams will go up and down throughout the year. Since Purdue is coming off a victory in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and Maryland is coming off a loss we will side with the loser looking to bounce back. Purdue is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 Big 10 games. We will take a flyer and expect Maryland to bounce with a straight up victory.

10 Unit Play. #530 Take Seton Hall over Texas Tech (6:30 pm FS1) NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR. The wrong team is favored in this game. Texas Tech has a gaudy 6-0 record and that includes victories over Boston College and Northwestern in Uncasville, CT. Of those wins, Boston College played them much closer than the final score would indicate, and we saw this week that Northwestern is not that good (loss to Georgia Tech on Tuesday). The Pirates are 5-1 on the year with their only loss coming against Rhode Island by one point in a game they led down the stretch. The team is loaded with talent and returns four starters from their NCAA Tournament team last season. Seton Hall is used to playing at Madison Square Garden and having a competitive game will benefit them a great deal in this game. Texas Tech is much improved, and they appear to have a good coach in Chris Beard but I just do not believe they are back all the way. This is a program that has not had consistency in their entire history and they are still likely a bottom of middle of the pack team in the competitive Big 12. Texas Tech is 1-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games against Big East Conference teams. Texas Tech is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 neutral site games. 

4 Unit Play. #764 Take Minnesota over Miami (9:15 pm ESPN 2) This Golden Gopher team is legit, and they have not had a competitive game this year. Throw out their last game in which they beat Alabama by five points under strange circumstances (Alabama played with only three plays in the court in the second half). Miami is 5-0 but they have not played anybody of note this season (4 home games, 1 neutral site game). This will be their first true road game and I do not expect them to be up for the challenge. 

3 Unit Play. #775 Take St Bonaventure over Sienna (7 pm) This is just a mismatch in talent and the road favorite is a much better team. The Saints already have blowout losses to Bucknell and Florida Gulf Coast and this Bonnies team beat Maryland. St Bona has a bad taste in their month after losing to TCU last time out and they will take out their frustrations in a big way tonight in update New York.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. #540 Take Over in Iowa @ Virginia Tech (9:15 pm ESPN 2) Both teams plays a style of play that allows for a ton of scoring and I also expect some fouling to occur at the end of the game. The Hokies are first in the country in scoring points and have scored at least 96 points in five of their six games this season. Iowa has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 8 Tuesday games. Virginia Tech has gone over the posted total in all six games they have played this season. 

3 Unit Play. #547 Take Detroit over IPFW (7 pm) This border battle should be a competitive game and we will gladly grab in the points in this contest. The Mastodons are coming off two straight losses and they have already lost to a team from the Horizon League this season. The Titans have righted the ship this season with three straight wins including Saint Louis. Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Fort Wayne is 7-18 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games overall.

5 Unit Play. #725 Take Wisconsin over Virginia (9 pm ESPN 2) Virginia is playing over their heads at the moment and I do not believe this team will make much noise come March. Wisconsin is a very similar team to Virginia and I just do not see them getting run out of the building. The Badgers are in desperate need of a quality win this season and they have the best player on the floor in Ethan Happ. Expect this game to be played in the low sixties giving us a good chance for a cover with the underdog. Wisconsin is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games against ACC teams. 

6 Unit Play. #522 Take Washington over UC Davis (8 pm PAC-12 Network) This is a get well game for the Huskies and they look to move to 4-0 this season against low mid-major programs. Washington now has a competent coach and they should only get better as the season goes on and they become more familiar with him. UC-Davis made a run into the NCAA Tournament last year by winning the conference tournament, but they lost some talent from last season and will not be able to stay within double digits in this game. The Aggies are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games against PAC-12 teams. Washington is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
