4 Unit Play. Take #608 Syracuse over Virginia Tech (12p.m., Saturday, January 23 ACCNX) Here we have an unranked team that is favored over a ranked team and that is usually a sign for a strong play. The Orange are coming off their best performance of the season this week against Miami and look for another win today at the Carrier Dome. Virginia Tech is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take #844 Purdue over Michigan (7p.m., Friday, January 22 FS1) Purdue has been playing outstanding basketball of late having won 4 straight games with 3 of those wins being against likely NCAA tournament teams come March. They are now ready for some home cooking, as Purdue traditionally plays much better at home compared to on the road. Michigan currently sits atop the standing in the Big 10, but they got run over in their last road game against Minnesota, losing by 18 points. The underdog is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 meetings. Purdue is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #774 Washington State over Utah (10p.m., Thursday, January 21 PAC12N) Not sure why Utah is favored in this game considering Washington State is at home and may have the best player on the floor. Wazzou has played a brutal schedule of late and thus their 3 game losing streak is not as bad as it appears. The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 games between Utah and Washington State. The Cougars is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #735 Rutgers over Penn State (7p.m., Thursday, January 21 BTN) We will follow the line movement in this game, as Penn State opened as the favorite but now Rutgers is a slight favorite. Penn State has yet to win a conference game this season. They have been competitive at times but usually falter down the stretch and today will be no different. Rutgers has been struggling as well and needs to win this game to get back on track and solidify their NCAA Tournament bid come March. The road team is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 games between Rutgers and Penn State.

4 Unit Play. Take #708 Arkansas over Auburn (9p.m., Wednesday, January 20 SECN) The Razorbacks are ready for some home cooking after getting blown out on the road two straight games. Auburn is improving but they already lost at home to Arkansas earlier this season. Auburn is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning home record. Arkansas is 9-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 home games. Auburn is not eligible to play in postseason play and thus I expect them to fade down the stretch as we get closer to February.

4 Unit Play. Take #712 Wisconsin over Northwestern (8p.m., Wednesday, January 20 BTN) The Wildcats are a sinking ship now, having lost 5 straight games and all of them have come by double digits. Wisconsin will challenge for a Big 10 Title this season and expect them to pound Northwestern in this game winning by close to 20 points. Wisconsin is ready to return have after two straight road games and expect them to jump out early in this game. The favorite is 14-6 ATS (1 push) in the last 21 meetings between the Wildcats and Badgers. Northwestern is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #670 St Bonaventure over VCU (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 CBSSN) The Rams are always a traditional power in the Atlantic 10 and thus we get a favorable line going against them tonight. The Bonnies have won 4 straight games including the last 3 in blowout fashion. This team will challenge for the Atlantic 10 regular season championship come March and they will take care of business tonight. The favorite has covered 4 straight games in this series. The Bonnies are 11-4 ATS (1 pus) in their last 16 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #671 Rhode Island over Duquesne (6p.m., Wednesday, January 20 ESPN+) The Dukes have been a sinking ship at the moment having lost 4 of their last 5 games, the last 3 coming by at least 9 points. Rhode Island has better talent than what they have showed thus far in 2021 and expect them to go on a run and move up atop the standing in the Atlantic 10. The closing stat on this game: the road team is 18-3 ATS in the last 21 meetings between the Rams and Dukes.

5 Unit Play. Take #635 Colorado State over Utah State (9p.m., Tuesday, January 19 CBSSN) The Aggies might be in a letdown spot coming off a sweep of San Diego State last time out. That was an emotion win for this program, as the Aztecs were predicted to win the MWC regular season this season. The Rams are beaten the bad teams in the league thus far and they are coming off two blowout wins against San Jose State over the weekend. See this game going right down to the wire and we will grab the points in this game. Colorado State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in USC @ Oregon State (7p.m., Tuesday, January 19 ESPN2) We used the over in both of Oregon State’s games last week (1 free play & 1 rated play) and will do it again on Tuesday. USC is an under team of late but expect Oregon State to be able to dictate the pace of this game in Corvallis. Oregon State has gone over the posted total in 4 straight games.

4 Unit Play. Take #879 Kansas over Baylor (9p.m., Monday, January 18 ESPN2) We have used Kansas in this spot over the years and had success and will do it again on Monday. The talent may favor Baylor in this game, but Scott Drew seems to have issues winning the Big 12 and this year may be no different. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings between Kansas and Baylor. The road team is 23-8 ATS (1 push) in the last 32 meetings as well.

4 Unit Play. Take #808 Purdue over Penn State (1p.m., Sunday, January 17 BTN) Purdue is just a much better team at home and they are getting a Penn State team that has not played a game since December 30. The Nittany Lions have lost 3 straight games and I see them losing this game by double digits. Purdue has won 2 straight games, and this is the easiest teams they have played since December. Penn state is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.  

4 Unit Play. Take #760 Over in Arizona State @ Oregon State (7p.m., Saturday, January 16 PAC12N) We used the Beavers over as a free play on Thursday and easily hit. Saturday we will use the over as a rated play. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games when they are the favorite. Oregon State has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

6 Unit Play. Take #625 San Diego State over Utah State (1:30p.m., Saturday, January 16 CBS) The Aztecs are too good of a program to lose to the same conference team twice in a week. Utah State jumped out early on Thursday and never looked back, but San Diego State did not shoot well for the entire game. With no homecourt advantage I see the Aztecs evening up this series and keeping their hopes alive for a conference championship come March. SDSU is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game.

3 Unit Play. Take #603 North Carolina over Florida State (12p.m., Saturday, January 16 ESPN) Carolina has the talent edge in this game, as Florida State is just not as strong as they were compared to last year. We will grab the points in this game that we expect to go down to the wire. With Carolina it usually comes down to whether they can make shots from the arc and if they do they can win this game straight-up.

4 Unit Play. Take #889 Wisconsin over Rutgers (9p.m., Friday, January 15 FS1) Both of these teams are desperate for a win and tonight is a must win for Wisconsin if they have visions of winning the regular season title come March. Wisconsin got blown out at Michigan on Tuesday, but Rutgers has dropped 3 straight games including the last two by double digits. Rutgers is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Friday.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #888 North Dakota over North Dakota State (8:30p.m., Friday, January 15 ESPN3) Both of these teams are expected to be in the top of the Summit standings come March and thus we will grab the points with the home team. The Bison are 4-0, but those wins have come against the bottom teams in the league. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between NDSU and North Dakota.

7 Unit Play. Take #717 Stanford over Utah (5p.m., Thursday, January 14 ESPN2) Utah is always a tough out at home but I just believe Stanford is a much more talented team in this game. The Utes have a lame duck coach that will likely be replaced soon, and this is one of his least talented teams. They have yet to record a quality win on the season and playing the top teams in the league has taken its toll on them. The Cardinal is coming off 3 straight double digit wins and the have great size in this game and will take advantage of that in a big way. Utah is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog. Stanford is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take #692 Texas over Texas Tech (9p.m., Wednesday, January 13 ESPN2) Texas has run the gauntlet this far currently sitting at 4-0 in the Big 12. They are at home and have more talent than does Texas Tech and thus I am a little surprised the number is this low. The Red Raiders have gotten back on track against two bad teams in the Big 12, Iowa State and Kansas State. Texas Tech is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Texas is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Wednesday.

6 Unit Play. Take #638 Kentucky over Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) Do not believe it matters who Kentucky is playing, it just matters how Kentucky is playing. The Wildcats are getting back on tracking having won 3 straight games, the last one in blowout fashion against Florida. Alabama is also perfect on the season, but this will be their 3rd road game in their last 4 games. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between Kentucky and Alabama. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between Kentucky and Alabama.

4 Unit Play. Take #615 Wisconsin over Michigan (7p.m., Tuesday, January 12 ESPN) The Badgers went into Ann Arbor and won last season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire as well. Michigan is 5-0 in the conference, but they have yet to play a team as experienced and deep as Wisconsin. The underdog is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games between Wisconsin and Michigan. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

4 Unit Play. Take #865 Connecticut over DePaul (6p.m., Monday, January 11 FS1) Both teams have had Covid issues this season, but UCONN is in much better shape than DePaul is. The Huskies will enter this game having won 3 straight including a 21-point victory against this same DePaul team. This game will be closer tonight, but I still see UCONN winning by close to double digits. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between Connecticut and DePaul.

4 Unit Play. Take #834 Nebraska over Indiana (6p.m., Sunday, January 10 BTN) The Hoosiers may come into this game flat, after they lost a double overtime game to Wisconsin this week. Now they must have a second straight road game against a team that has some talent. Nebraska has not played well this season, but this will be their weakest conference opponent they have faced this season. I just feel that they can take this game down to the wire and we will grab the points.

10 Unit Play. Take #751 USC over Arizona State (7p.m., Saturday, January 9 PAC12N) The Sun Devils were missing 4 players on Thursday from their overtime loss to UCLA. Not going to try and speculate who will be playing this afternoon, but I just do not believe they can bounce back in less than 48 hours against a more talented USC team. The Trojans dominated the second half against the Wildcats on Thursday in route to their 14 point victory. They have great size that should be able to take advantage of the Sun Devils inside the paint. The Sun Devils got up for their game Thursday, but the second game back after missing key players is usually a lot tougher to maintain and that will be the case tonight. This ASU team already had chemistry issues before Thursday, and 3 of their 4 losses have come by 9 points or more. USC is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Trojans are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games played on Saturday. ASU is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games.

4 Unit Play. #616 Rutgers over Ohio State (12p.m., Saturday, January 9 BTN) Rutgers needs a win to get back on track, as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games. But this team has more talent than does Ohio State and playing at home will put them over the top, winning by 7-9 points. These teams have actually met once this season and the final score of 80-68 is very misleading. Rutgers led by 16 points in the second half before Ohio State made a late run to pull away down the stretch. Both teams have injury issues, but Rutgers should have the same team that played at Michigan State on Tuesday. But Ohio State should be without point guard C.J. Walker. Ohio State is 8-22 ATS (1 push) in their last 31 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Rutgers is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 home games. The favorite is 5-1 in the last 6 games between the Buckeyes and the Scarlet Knights. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games between Ohio State and Rutgers.

4 Unit Play. Take #860 Michigan State over Purdue (7p.m., Friday, January 8 FS1) We used Michigan State earlier in the week against Rutgers and easily won and will ride them again. Purdue is not as strong as Rutgers and they usually struggle to win games away from West Lafayette. The home team is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 meetings between Purdue and Michigan State. The Boilermakers are 3-10 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 16 games as an underdog.

5 Unit Play. Take #758 Northwestern over Illinois (9p.m., Thursday, January 7 BTN) Northwestern came back down to reality after losing two straight games. But losing on the road to Iowa and Michigan is not something to be concerned about, as they sit atop the standing in Big 10 play. Now they return home to face Illinois, another top team in the conference. The Wildcats have already beaten Michigan State and Ohio State in Evanston this season and I feel that they will be able to take this game down to the wire. Northwestern is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Thursday, January 7 FS1) The Badgers are the most experienced team in the conference, and they should be able to challenge for a championship come March. The Hoosiers are coming off two close wins against inferior teams and I feel they will drop this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 3-1 in Big 10 play and needs to keep winning games to keep pace with Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. Wisconsin is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games played on Thursday. The home team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between Indiana and Wisconsin.

4 Unit Play. Take #664 Louisville over Virginia Tech (6:30p.m., Wednesday, January 6 ACCN) Whenever you see an unranked team favored over a ranked team it is usually a strong angle that hits more often than not. The Cardinals have gotten healthy despite some issues in December and they are always a tough team to beat at home. Virginia Tech is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games. Louisville is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #634 Michigan State over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, January 5 ESPN2) Never thought I would see day where Michigan State is just a slight favorite at home against Rutgers. The Spartans are just 1-3 in conference play, but 3 of their first 4 games have been on the road. Losing to Wisconsin at home is nothing to worry about, as the Badgers have experience and may be the best team in the conference. Rutgers has played a brutal schedule as well and that will hurt them in this game. Rutgers is still a little banged up as well. Michigan State gets a much needed win at home and we collect in the process as well.

4 Unit Play. Take #874 Over in West Virginia @ Oklahoma State (9p.m., Monday, January 4 ESPN2) Both teams need this win to even up their conference record at .500 and thus we expect a high scoring game that will go over the posted total. West Virginia has gone over the posted total in 5 straight road games. Oklahoma State has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #840 Minnesota over Ohio State (5:30p.m., Sunday, January 3 BTN) Expect the Golden Gophers to bounce back at home against Ohio State today. This has been a trend in the Big 10, where teams play outstanding one game, looked terrible the next. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games between Ohio State and Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have covered 4 straight home games.

6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record.

6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. Take #726 Wisconsin over Minnesota (4:30p.m., Thursday, December 31 BTN) The Badgers are coming off a bad performance last time out against Maryland but expect them to bounce back today against Minnesota and win this game by double digits. Minnesota is coming off their best performance of the year dominating Michigan State from start to finish. Just do not believe they will be able to duplicate that performance on Thursday and against a team desperate to get back on track. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Wisconsin is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Thursday.

4 Unit Play. Take #676 Over in Mississippi State @ Georgia (7p.m., Wednesday, December 30 SECN) Georgia is currently 7-0 on the season but they have not played a strong schedule. I always like playing the over with Tom Crean coached teams, as they usually care more about scoring points than playing locked down defense. The Bulldogs have gone over the posted total in 19 of their last 26 games following a victory in their previous game. Georgia has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games against teams with a winning record.

6 Unit Play. Take #612 Rutgers over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, December 29 FS1) Just do not feel Purdue is the same team when playing on the road. Purdue has done most of their damage at home this season and they have yet to win a true road game this season (lost to Miami and Iowa). Rutgers is coming off their first loss of the season to Ohio State, and that final score of 80-68 did not reflect how competitive that game was. Rutgers has come injury issues but I believe they will bounce back playing at the RAC tonight. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 games as an underdog. Rutgers is 13-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 20 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #840 Over in Northern Arizona @ Gonzaga (9p.m., Monday, December 28) Huge line in this game and one would assume if Gonzaga is going to blow them out, they will come close to 100 points in this game. That would set up a strong angle for the over to hit. Gonzaga has a ton of angles favoring the over hitting like they have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 26 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #837 Michigan State over Minnesota (8p.m., Monday, December 28 BTN) These are the type of games Michigan State always seems to win over the coaching tenure of Tom Izzo. The Spartans have yet to win a conference game this year and this is an important game for them. Minnesota is coming off a miraculous win over Iowa and I believe they will come back down from that reality tonight. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Michigan State and Minnesota.

4 Unit Play. Take #831 Maryland over Wisconsin (7p.m., Monday, December 28 FS1) Wisconsin is coming off an emotional win Thursday and Michigan State and it would not surprise me if a letdown occurred in this spot. They will win this game but if they are not shooting a high percentage from the arc, I do not see a double-digit blowout. Maryland is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games played on Monday.

4 Unit Play. Take #766 Northwestern over Ohio State (11.a.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) The Buckeyes have been playing a brutal schedule of late and this will be their 3rd road games in their last 4 that has taken place away from Columbus. Northwestern is much improved this season and they have a chance to start the season 3-0 in Big 10 play. Getting points with the home team in this conference is always too good to pass up. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 road games. Northwestern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.

3 Unit Play. Take #762 Louisville over Kentucky (1p.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) No bet against Kentucky is a bad beat this season. Louisville has gotten healthier and they always get up for playing Kentucky in this game. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games.

6 Unit Play. Take #752 Michigan State over Wisconsin (12:30p.m., Friday, December 25 FOX) Not sure why Wisconsin is favored in this game. The Badgers lost their only road game of the season to Marquette and they have not won at Michigan State since 2004. Wisconsin has not left the state thus far into the season and this is a game where they will not be the more talented team. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between Wisconsin and Michigan State. The Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing road record.  

5 Unit Play. Take #678 Kansas over West Virginia (9p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ESPN2) The Jayhawks are the king of the Big 12 and anytime you get this number with them in Lawrence it must be considered as a play. Kansas has the bodies to matchup inside with West Virginia and I do not expect a big foul discrepancy tonight as well. The home team is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings between West Virginia and Kansas. West Virginia is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games.

4 Unit Play. Take #673 North Carolina over North Carolina State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ACCN) North Carolina is winning games despite not being able to shoot it well from the arc. If they ever start making shots from the 3 point line they could reach the final four. NC State lost their only game this year against a decent opponent and they have just feasted on cupcakes thus far in 2020-2021. The road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between UNC and NC State. The Wolfpack are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. Take #782 Missouri State over Arkansas Little Rock (5p.m., Monday, December 21 ESPN3) The Bears have not been able to play many games in 2020, but playing at home tonight should allow them to emerge victorious. Little Rock is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Missouri State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #707 Oklahoma State +6.5 over Texas (2p.m., Sunday, December 20 LHN) We lost an 8-unit play with Texas in this game last year and hope to learn from our mistake today. Oklahoma State has talent, and it is just around to predict what you will get from Texas on a game in, game out basis. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups between Oklahoma State and Texas.

3 Unit Play. Take #679 Cincinnati -2 over Georgia (8p.m., Saturday, December 19 SECN) The Bulldogs have not played anyone this season, and this will be their toughest slate of the conference season. Georgia is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Saturday. The Bearcats being favored on this true road games tells me they are the better team.

3 Unit Play. Take #682 Stanford -2.5 over Arizona (7p.m., Saturday, December 19 PAC12N) Would go higher if this were a true home game for Saturday, but instead they are playing this game in Santa Cruz. Arizona opened as the favorite, but the oddsmakers were not having it and now Stanford is favored. The Cardinal have more talent than do the Wildcats, and that might be the first time in over a decade that this has been the case. Arizona is 2-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games as an underdog. Stanford is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 Saturday games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports.

4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3 over Kentucky (2p.m., Saturday, December 19 CBS) If North Carolina can have any success in this game from the arc, they will win this game by double digits. Kentucky is a mess at the moment and will likely not make the NCAA Tournament come March. North Carolina is 5-2 ATS (1 push) int their last 8 games as a favorite. The favorite in this matchup has covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 matchups (1 push).

6 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin -6.5 over Louisville (12p.m., Saturday, December 19 ESPN2) This is a late add game after Louisville could not play this game during the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The Cardinals have been off since 12/1 and they have just played home game. They lost a ton of talent from last year and Wisconsin has everyone back. The Badgers are 7-0 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday.

4 Unit Play. Take #854 Over in Weber State @ Portland State (10:05p.m., Friday, December 18) The Vikings have been an over team of late and expect that to continue on Friday night with Big Sky playing getting underway. The Vikings have gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 10 games as a favorite.

3 Unit Play. Take #833 Chicago State over Northern Illinois (7p.m., Friday, December 18) Both these teams are terrible, and the total is just in the mid-130s and thus we will grab the points and Cougars are hang on to only lose by 17 points or less.

5 Unit Play. Take #838 Tennessee over Tennessee Tech (7p.m., Friday, December 18 SEC+) This will be a blowout, name your score type of game for the Volunteers. The Golden Eagles are 0-7 on the season and this is a buy game where they will collect a check and get blown out by 30+ points. Tennessee has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #856 Over in Richmond @ Loyola (6p.m., Friday, December 18 ESPN+) Both teams trends all favor the over and now we have value with the total dropping 4 points from the overnight line. Richmond has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 11 games. Loyola has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 11 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #365 Kansas City Chiefs over New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 19 CBS) The Saints are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia last week and now will likely not earn the top seed in the NFC (only 1 team gets a bye this year). The Chiefs have been winning games but not covering the spread of late, but now they have a low number where they likely just need to win the game. QB Brees have been eyeing this date to return, but I do not think it will matter. Kansas City is an offensive machine, and New Orleans will have to score in the high twenties to have a chance to cover this spread. Kansas City is 11-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 road games against teams with a winning home record. New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. Take #674 Tulane over Memphis (9p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ESPN2) Memphis is overrated again this season and the Penny Hardaway experiment does not seem to be an improvement over Tubby Smith. Tulane has not played anyone this year, but they are 4-0 and I believe they can keep this game in single digits. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Tulane is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog.

4 Unit Play. Take #670 Purdue over Ohio State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 16 BTN) On paper this line is begging you to take Ohio State, but an unranked favorite over a ranked team is always a recipe for success in college basketball gambling. Throw in the fact that Ohio State will be without E.J. Liddell and Seth Towns and expect Purdue to win this game by double digits. The Boilers are just a different team at home and tonight will be no different. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Purdue is 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games played on Wednesday.

4 Unit Play. Take #663 Pittsburgh over Miami (6p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ACCN) The Hurricanes are banged up with a ton of injuries and they cannot shoot the ball at all from the arc. They are 4 for 36 from the three-point line over their last two games. The Panthers have a nice win at Northwestern and will win this game as well. The Hurricanes are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games played on Wednesday.

4 Unit Play. Take #634 Over in Furman @ Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, December 15 SECN) The Paladins have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games as a road underdog. The Crimson Tide have gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 16 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #307073 Florida A&M over Austin Peary (8:30p.m., Tuesday, December 15) The Rattlers are 0-4 on the season but they have a bunch of ATS trends that work in their favor tonight. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. Austin Peay has not covered the spread much of late going 3-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Loyola (8p.m., Tuesday, December 15 BTN) The Ramblers have not played anyone this season, and this is a late add game after the original games got cancelled. The Ramblers have nowhere near the talent they had when they reached the final four a couple of years ago. Wisconsin has experience and they will pull at some point in this game and win it by double-digits. Loyola is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.

5 Unit Play. Take #772 Western Michigan -3 over Milwaukee (2p.m., Sunday, December 13) We went against Broncos on Saturday but will take them on Sunday playing a worse Horizon League team. Milwaukee has played just one game in 2020-2021 and that was a loss to Kansas State, a terrible team that lost to a division two team earlier this season. Western Michigan played Detroit even for 35 minutes until falling apart down the stretch. Expect them to control this game from the start and earn a 7-9 point victory. The Panthers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played on Sunday. WMU is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #726 Alabama over Clemson (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCNX) Coach Oats put a bullseye on his head and it will be interesting to see if he can back it up. Clemson is coming off their best performance of the year, dominating Maryland from start to finish but this will be the most talented team that they will face thus far in 2020. Alabama has bounced back from a loss to Stanford with two blowout victories and tonight will be no different as well.

4 Unit Play. Take #665 Syracuse over Boston College (1p.m., Saturday, December 12 ESPNU) The Orange need to start winning as once again their schedule is light on quality wins as conference play gets underway. They get Buddy Boeheim back for this game and that gives them a shooter that will be able to space out the floor. Boston College played well against Minnesota this week and lost in overtime but I believe that will take a lot out of them for this game.

6 Unit Play. Take #638 UCLA -4.5 over Marquette (9:30p.m., Friday, December 11 PAC12N) UCLA has bounced back after losing to San Diego State in their opener to win 4 straight games, all of them by at least 9 points. They face a Marquette team that will be playing their first true road game of the season and this is a very young team. UCLA is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in Georgia Tech @ Nebraska (7:15p.m., Wednesday, December 9 ESPN2) Both teams will be ready to go up and down tonight after playing teams that like to slow down the pace in recent games. The Yellow Jackets have gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 road games. Nebraska has gone over the posted total in 16 of their last 23 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.

10 Unit Play. Take #818 Iowa over North Carolina (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN) Nonconference Game of the Year Just believe Iowa is the more experienced and better shooting team in this game. This follows the pattern of success that we have had in recent years in this game, fading a team that played in a Holiday tournament last week compared to a team that is resting at home. Granted, North Carolina got to play in Ashville, but a few things happened last week in their second-place finish. One is Garrison Brooks got hurt and he has not been cleared to practice as of late Monday. Second, the refs will not bail them out in the semifinals like they did last week. These will not be ACC centric refs tonight, as this is a true home game for the Hawkeyes. Not going to talk much about Iowa’s game thus far, as they have all been blowout wins against cupcake opponents. But a couple of keys to follow, one is the 3-point line. North Carolina again, does not have a good shooting team from the arc, averaging under 30% and that will not get it done tonight. North Carolina will have to pound the glass to win this game and Iowa just has too much experience for that to happen. Finally, Fran McCaffery teams usually follow a pattern of starting the season hot before failing toward the end of conference season and make a quick out in the NCAA Tournament. That is okay for us tonight and expect them to remain undefeated. Iowa is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 games as a favorite.  

4 Unit Play. Take #792 Miami over Purdue (5p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN2) Just not a fan of this Purdue squad this season. They struggled last year when not playing in West Lafayette and do not see things getting any better in 2020-2021. They are 3-1 but they only tough game this season they lost to Clemson by double-digits. They lost big man Matt Harms to BYU and I just do not believe they will be able to take advantage of Miami’s lack of size in this game. Miami had some covid issues earlier this season, but they are pretty healthy for this game and have more talent on the floor even if Chris Lykes does not go. They should be able to dominate this game at the guard position and they are being undervalued because they have played two cupcakes to open the season. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 road games. Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Everyone loves Matt Painter as a coach, but he tends to go into two-year funks, and this does not appear to be an NCAA Tournament team again this year. Miami wins this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #770 Middle Tennessee -2 over Chattanooga (7p.m., Monday, December 7) The Blue Raiders played their best game of the season last time out dominating Murray State and expect more of the same tonight at home. MTSU is 23-9 ATS in their last 221 home games against teams with a winning road record. A 1-2 teams favored against an 0-3 team tells us something about the talent on each side.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. Our 8-unit NCAA Nonconference Game of the Year is set to go tomorrow and will be posted at 11:30 a.m. eastern.

4 Unit Play. Take #662 Kansas State -2 over UNLV (8p.m., Saturday, December 5 ESPN+) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They are 0-4 and they have been blown out in 3 of their 4 games they have played this season. This is the end of a long road trip and it is a true road game for them. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #803 Toledo over Eastern Michigan (7p.m., Friday December 4 ESPN3) MAC play gets underway tonight, and we will side with the visitor. EMU is a bottom feeder team in the MAC whereas Toledo is expected to challenge for the top spot in the league. The Rockets have three players averaging at least 15 points per game and Marreon Jackson could challenge for player of the years. EMU is 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games.

10 Unit Play. Take #805 Wisconsin over Marquette (7p.m., Friday December 4 FS1) The Badgers are legit and are better than Marquette at 4 of the 5 positions on the court. I expect this line to go up throughout the day but it will not matter since Wisconsin wins this game by double digits. The Golden Eagles lost to Oklahoma State last time out at home by 8 points in a game that was not as close as that final would reflect. They are in a complete rebuild and have no home court advantage in this game. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Marquette is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog.

4 Unit Play. Take #774 Over in Arizona State @ Cal (10p.m., Thursday, December 3 P12N) All three of the Sun Devils have gone way over tonight’s posted number and we expect them to dictate the pace of this game since they are the better team. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games. Cal has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #758 Over in VMI @ Virginia Tech (8p.m., Thursday, December 3 ACCN) The Keydets have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games played on Thursday. The Hokies have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 11 home games (1 push). We will not worry if the Hokies can cover this big number and instead just collect with the over.

4 Unit Play. Take #752 USC over Connecticut (7p.m., Thursday, December 3 ESPN) Just feel Connecticut is overhyped again this season. Everyone wants them to return to form but they just do not have the talent yet. USC has been frustrating at times but they have looked really impressive thus far including a 26 point victory against BYU last time out. They have been in Connecticut and will be rested for this game with a day off yesterday. USC is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. 73% of the money is coming in on USC.

4 Unit Play. Take #702 Nevada over USF (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 themwc.com) This is a home and home with these two teams playing in Reno on Wednesday and San Francisco on Sunday. Expect Nevada to pull away in the second half tonight and earn their fourth victory of the season. USF beat Virginia but they lost by 13 points the next day to Rhode Island. The Dons are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight-up loss. The Wolf Pack is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take #705 Texas Arlington over Arkansas (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 SECN) The Razorbacks are playing a super easy schedule yet again this year and this may be the toughest team they face to date. The Mavericks took Oklahoma State and Louisiana Tech to the wire and I see them keeping this game around 10 points. Arkansas will try and run up the score if they can, I just do not see it happening tonight. Texas Arlington is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games as an underdog.

4 Unit Play. Take #682 Iowa State over South Dakota State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 2 ESPN+) This fits a similar situation to our top play yesterday. Iowa State has been at home while South Dakota State played three games in three days last week at a neutral site in South Dakota. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take #636 Alabama -10.5 over UNLV (9:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN2) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They have lost by double digits in each of there two games. Alabama got shell shocked by Stanford yesterday, but they are playing a much easier opponent tonight in Ashville. UNLV is still in a major rebuild and it does not appear they will be coming out of it this season.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #624 Duke -3.5 over Michigan State (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) Michigan State just does not seem to win these types of games early in the season. This is a true home game for Duke, although they will not have the Cameron crazies in attendance. But playing in Durham is still no easy task and expect Duke to take care of business.

7 Unit Play. Take #612 Louisville -4 over Western Kentucky (6p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ACCN) WKU is legit this season but the travel will get them in this game. They played three games in South Dakota last week and expect them to have tired legs in this game. Louisville has been feasting on bad teams at home and they return a bunch of talent form last year. WKU has played three games against good competition and that will eventually catch up with you. Getting a key transfer in Carlik Jones will put Louisville over the top in this game. Louisville is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on Tuesday. WKU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on Tuesday.

4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3.5 over Stanford (4p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) The 2020 Maui Invitational was kept alive because of North Carolina and thus it is only fitting that they advance to the finals since this is being played in Ashville. Carolina struggled in their first game against Charleston but pulled away in the second half and have not looked back since. Now they face a former Roy Williams assistant in Jerod Haase, a team that returns 4 starters but lost their best player in Tyrell Terry from last season. North Carolina needs to win this tournament to make sure they get into the NCAA Tournament come March after falling apart last season mainly due to injuries.

4 Unit Play. Take #880 Nevada over Pacific (10p.m., Monday, November 30 MWC.com) The Wolf Pack are more tested this season having won a true road game at Nebraska over the weekend. They have had great success against Pacific of late and should be able to take them down at Lawlor Events Center tonight. The favorite has won 7 of the last 10 games between the Tigers and Wolf Pack. Nevada is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday.

4 Unit Play. Take #858 Central Florida over Auburn (7p.m., Monday, November 30 ESPN+) Tough spot for the Tigers in this game having to play a true road game against UCF after getting blown out by Gonzaga on Friday. Auburn has a lame duck year, as they cannot go to the NCAA Tournament because of a pending investigation by the rule’s infraction committee. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. UCF is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Monday.

4 Unit Play. Take #851 Bowling Green over Appalachian State (6p.m., Monday, November 30) Bowling Green is terrible in football but they are expected to do damage in the MAC this year. The return Justin Turner and expect him to have a big night against App State tonight in North Carolina. Both teams blew out South Carolina State but the Falcons being favored on the road tells me something about who the better team in this game is. The Mountaineers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games.

4 Unit Play. #746 Villanova -9.5 over Virginia Tech (8p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNU) the Wildcats are battle tested this season having earned two victories by 9 points including beating Arizona State last time out. I do not see Virginia Tech being able to be a consistent winner once Buzz Williams left town and their level of talent continues to dwindle. Villanova has the best players on the court in Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and they should pull away in the second half and win this game by double-digits. Virginia Tech is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Villanova is 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 neutral site games.

5 Unit Play. #742 Liberty +8 over South Carolina (4p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNN) TOP NCAA HOOPS GAME OF THE DAY The Gamecocks are set to make their season debut in 2020 today in Kansas City. Liberty already has two games under their belt, and both came against teams that are better than South Carolina. Just not a believer in Fran Martin being a consistent winner at South Carolina. He had one great year when they made the final four but has not done much in the other years as coach. Liberty is coached by Ritchie McKay and already beat Mississippi State by 11 points this season. South Carolina is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 neutral site games. Liberty is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games.

4 Unit Play. Take #677 VCU over Memphis (9p.m., Friday, November 27 ESPN2) Just do not believe Memphis should be this big of a favorite in this third-place game. Both teams will be playing their third game in three days and thus I expect a lower scoring hard fought game.

4 Unit Play. Take 307160 Connecticut over Hartford (8p.m., Friday, November 27 CBSSN) CUCONN continues with their in-state domination tonight against Hartford at Gampel Pavilion. The Huskies are back in the Big East and return 4 starters from last year’s squad. They will make the NCAA Tournament this year and win this game by 30 points. Connecticut is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #792 Nebraska -4 over Nevada (2p.m., Thursday, November 26 BTN) Both teams are coming off impressive win yesterday, but I feel Nebraska playing at home will be the difference today. They tried to host a tournament and invite teams they could beat and expect them to win this game by double digits. Fred Hoiberg had a bunch of transfers sit out last season, but they are now eligible to play. Nevada is in a major rebuild as well and I see them struggling to keep up in scoring in this game.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

10 Unit Play. Take #636 Over in Charleston @ North Carolina (6p.m., Wednesday, November 25 ACCN) Carolina was happy to put last year behind them and they reloaded with a bunch of incoming talent this year. Roy Williams likes to play up-tempo and I expect them to reach the nineties in scoring tonight at the Dean Dome. North Carolina has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 home games (1 push) when they are the favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take #733 North Dakota State over Nevada (3p.m., Wednesday, November 25) Both teams lost a ton of talent from last year and thus we will side with the underdog. North Dakota State is always a top team in the Summit League, and they return three key players from last year’s 25 win team. NDSU is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games when they are an underdog. Nevada is 4-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 15 neutral site games when they are a favorite.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #647 California over Stanford (9p.m., Wednesday, March 11 PAC12N) This Bay Area battle should be closer than the experts believe. The Bears beat the Cardinal once this season and despite having the least talent in the league they managed to win 11 conference games this season. The underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings between Cal and Stanford. The Cardinal is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games.

5 Unit Play. Take #308374 Colgate over Boston (7:30p.m., Wednesday, March 11 CBSSN) The top two teams in the Patriot League are set to do battle tonight on the home floor of the Raiders. Colgate has beaten Boston twice this season and both of those wins have come over tonight’s posted number. The Terriers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games. The Raiders are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games against teams with a winning record.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #663 Iowa State over Oklahoma State (7p.m., Wednesday, March 11 ESPNU) The Pokes played their best game of the season last time out and I just do not believe they can shoot it that well again on Wednesday. The Cyclones are struggling down the stretch without Tyrese Haliburton but I just believe that they will put up a fight in this game. But this play is more about going against OK State. Iowa State is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games as an underdog. Iowa State is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games after a victory in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #613 Northeastern over Hofstra (7p.m., Tuesday, March 10 CBSSN) The Pride have never made the NCAA Tournament as a member of the CAA and this is the game that trips them up. Hofstra is 2-0 against Northeastern this season, but both games were close and I just do not believe they are good enough to beat this team three times in one season. This game will go down to the wire and expect the Huskies to win it straight-up. The underdog is 15-7 ATS (1 push) in the last 23 games between Northeastern and Hofstra.

4 Unit Play. Take #866 Hofstra over Delaware (6p.m., Monday, March 9 CBSSN) The rubber match between Hofstra and Delaware takes place Monday night in Washington D.C. Hofstra is the No. 1 seed and I believe they will win this game convincingly. They have won 10 of their last 11 games including a 16 point victory at Delaware a few weeks ago. The Blue Hens had a difficult game yesterday against a solid Charleston team and I do not expect them to have much left in the tank for this game. Hofstra advances to the CAA Championship Game and we collect with them in a big way.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #854 Towson +2 over Northeastern (8:30p.m., Sunday, March 8) The Tigers are the underdog in this game despite finishing higher in the standings and beating them last in the last game each team played. This is the rubber match as both teams won games as the visitor during the regular season. The underdog has covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 meetings between Northeastern and Towson. The Huskies are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite. The Tigers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a victory in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #308330 Colgate -10.5 over Lafayette (2p.m., Sunday, March 8 CBSSN) The semifinals of the Patriot League take place on the home floor of the higher seed in each game. Colgate gets to host Lafayette and they will win this game by double digits. Just no way the Leopards can beat them three times in one season. The Raiders are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games.
