Sports Picks & Predictions

4 Unit Play. Take #759 Nevada over UNLV (11p.m., Wednesday February 28 CBSSN) The Rebels are in freefall now having lost three straight games including two via a blowout. Since this is an in-state rival they will get up for this game, but I just do not believe they have the horses to beat Nevada twice in one season. Nevada did not have Caleb Martin in the first meeting and that was a huge loss as he is averaging over 19 points per game. Nevada has already locked up the top seed in the MWC and will be going to the NCAA Tournament, but they still have a lot to play for. If they win out they could move to a NO. 5 seed. UNLV has been a poor home team this season with 4 losses in MWC play. UNLV is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Nevada is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games at UNLV.

4 Unit Play. Take #549 Army over Loyola Maryland (7p.m., Tuesday February 27) Both of these teams are on long losing streaks but look for Army to complete the season sweep of Loyola Maryland tonight. Army won the first meeting by double digits and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Greyhounds are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #724 Virginia Tech over Duke (7p.m., Monday February 26 ESPN) Despite winning by 16 points over the weekend, Duke did not play well against Syracuse. They did not make a three-point basket until the middle of the second half and now they face a much better team on the road in a hostile environment. This is the third straight home game for the Hokies and they have a bad taste in their mouth after losing to Louisville last time out. I expect them to take this game down to the wire and we will collect with whoever comes out on top. The home team is 3-0 ATS in the last three match-ups.

5 Unit Play. Take #834 Nebraska over Penn State (2:15p.m., Sunday February 25 BTN) The Cornhuskers still are undervalued by the line makers despite the fact win in this game will give them 13 conference wins. They have revenge in this game as they lost a tough fought two-point game earlier this season in State College. Nebraska has won 7 of their last 8 games. Nebraska is 14-2 ATS in their last 16 Big 10 games. Penn State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Nebraska.

4 Unit Play. Take #816 Wisconsin over Michigan State (1p.m., Sunday February 25 CBS) Wisconsin has been playing better of late having won three straight games and they will close out the regular season today at the Kohl Center. Michigan State has a ton of issues now with players and coaches and expect them to just go through the motions and win this game by 4-6 points. If Wisconsin can stabilize the game early they should be able to take this game down to the wire. Wisconsin is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning road record. Michigan State is 2-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 road games. Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

4 Unit Play. Take #714 Over in Idaho @ Weber State (9p.m., Saturday February 24) Idaho has gone over the posted total in 5 straight road games. Weber State has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 14 games (1 push). Idaho has gone over the posted total in 20 of their last 28 conference games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #668 Florida over Auburn (8:30p.m., Saturday February 24 SECN) I still do not believe Auburn is as good as their ranking suggests. The Gators have lost three straight games and this is one game that they need to ensure that they reach the NCAA Tournament in 2018. Auburn did not look good against South Carolina in their last road game and I expect Florida to win this game by 4-6 points.

10 Unit Play. Take #661 Arizona State over Oregon State (8p.m., Saturday February 24 ESPN U) Arizona State has been one of the most disappointing teams during conference play this season after running the table in the nonconference portion of the season. They have a knack for getting games they need to avoid a complete free fall in the standing. This is one of those games against an undermanned Oregon State team coming off an overtime loss to Arizona on Thursday. ASU will not take them lightly since they beat OSU by just two points earlier this season in Tempe. The Beavers have not played well of late losing 7 of their last 9 games. Arizona State is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a losing record. Oregon State is 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between ASU and OSU.

4 Unit Play. Take #702 Western Illinois over Denver (8p.m., Saturday February 24) It has not been a good season for the Leathernecks, but I expect them to go out on senior day with a victory on their home floor. Western Illinois beat North Dakota State last time out and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a victory in their previous game. Denver is 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games.

4 Unit Play. Take #636 Duke over Syracuse (6:15p.m., Saturday February 24 ESPN) Syracuse is nowhere near as talented as Duke is this season. Syracuse may struggle to win a regular season game in their last three and they will lose this one by double digits. Duke has covered the spread in 4 straight games. Syracuse is 15-38 ATS in their last 55 games played on Saturday.

4 Unit Play. Take #590 Pittsburgh over Virginia (4p.m., Saturday February 24 ESPN U) Pittsburgh is terrible and will likely go winless in the ACC this season. They are at home and this is just a ton of points to be giving for Virginia, a team that does not score a ton of points. The Panthers have stayed under this number in their last two losses and I expect them to make it three in a row.

4 Unit Play. Take #584 Drexel over Wilmington (4p.m., Saturday February 24) Drexel is riding high now after coming back from a 34-point deficit last time out to beat Delaware. Expect that momentum to carry into this game on senior day in Philadelphia. The favorite is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 9 meetings between Wilmington and Drexel.

4 Unit Play. Take Santa Clara over LMU (10p.m., Thursday February) No bet is a bad bet against LMU at this point of the season. The Broncos have already beaten the Lions by 16 points this season in Los Angeles and that is how I see this game going as well. Santa Clara has won 3 straight games including back-to-back road games. LMU is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games played on Thursday.

4 Unit Play. Take #658 Weber State over Eastern Washington (9p.m., Thursday February 22) The Wildcats are always one of the top teams in the Big Sky and this year is no different. They enter this game having won 9 straight games and need to win both home games this weekend with a trip to Montana on deck. Weber State has covered the spread in 8 of those last 9 wins. Eastern Washington is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a victory in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #571 Wisconsin over Northwestern (7p.m., Thursday February 22 ESPN 2) The Wildcats are in freefall at the moment having lost 4 straight games including a shell shocking loss to Michigan State on Saturday in which they blew a 27 point lead. That affected them against Maryland last time out and will happen again on Thursday. They may be without Bryant McIntosh again and that is a major void for them to fill. The road teams is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

10 Unit Play. Take #766 UNLV over Fresno State (10p.m., Wednesday February 21 ESPN 3) The Rebels are coming off their worst performance of the season but I expect them to bounce back in a big way Wednesday. The Bulldogs have won four straight but their last two games have come against the worst teams in the league (Colorado State & San Jose State). UNLV has talent evident by the fact that the are the only team to win at Nevada this season. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The line is moving our direction and that is with good reason. UNLV gets back on track in a big way tonight in Sin City.

4 Unit Play. Take #728 Virginia Tech over Clemson (7p.m., Wednesday February 21 ACCN) Just believe Clemson is a sinking ship at the moment. They have lost two straight games and now and now face a Virginia Tech team that is hungry for a victory. The Hokies are coming off a dominating road victory against Georgia Tech and need to win all three of these home games on their docket. Clemson is 2-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games against Virginia Tech. The Hokies are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games.

10 Unit Play. Take #536 LSU over Vanderbilt (9p.m., Tuesday February 20 SECN) I just do not believe in Vanderbilt this season especially when they are playing on the road. Vanderbilt has lost all 7 conference road games this season. The Tigers have a new coach this season and they close out the regular season with 4 games that are winnable and a chance to finish conference play .500. LSU has revenge after losing in Nashville by 6 points. LSU has covered the spread in 4 straight home games. Vanderbilt is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. Lay the points in this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #853 Nebraska over Illinois (3:30p.m., Sunday February 18 BTN) This is a very big public play and the line is trending towards Illinois despite that. That is somewhat worrisome, but they bottom line is Nebraska is 11-4 in conference play and Illinois is 2-12. Nebraska does not want any bad losses as they are a bubble team for the NCAA Tournament. It will not be easy but I believe Nebraska will win this game by 3-5 points.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

7 Unit Play. Take #843 Duke over Clemson (1p.m., Sunday February 18 ACCN) The Blue Devils are hitting the Tigers are just the right moment. They are coming off an overtime loss last Wednesday and they are down two starters for this game. Point guard Shelton Mitchell is in concussion protocol and losing your starting point guard who is averaging 33 minutes per game will be tough to overcome. Duke is without Marvin Bagley but the last two games that has not hurt them. In fact it seems to have gotten Grayson Allen on track, as he is averaging 24 points per game the last two games. Duke is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played on Sunday. Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on Sunday.

4 Unit Play. Take #652 UCLA over Oregon (10:15p.m., Saturday February 17 ESPN) The Bruins are quietly moving up the standings in the PAC-12 and I believe that they will make the NCAA Tournament come March. Oregon is well coached, but they just do not have the talent to compete with the top teams in the league. They lost a heartbreaker to USC on Thursday and I do not expect them to be able to bounce back in 48 hours. UCLA has won 5 of their last 6 games and lost to Oregon by just 3 points in Eugene earlier this year. Oregon has lost 2 straight road games. UCLA is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.

4 Unit Play. #622 Take Washington over Colorado (8p.m., Saturday February 17 P12N) The Huskies still have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament as they close with five winnable games to finish out the regular season. They have lost three straight games and that makes this a must win game. If Washington can beat Arizona and Arizona State in Seattle, they can beat Colorado. Washington already beat them in Boulder earlier this year. Colorado is 18-37 ATS (1 push) in their last 56 road games.

4 Unit Play. Take #584 Kansas over West Virginia (6p.m., Saturday February 17 ESPN) Just have not been sold on this West Virginia team all season long. We have went against them a lot and I just feel if they are not turning you over they really struggle to score. I have not given up on Kansas winning the Big 12 but to accomplish that they must win this game. Kansas is coming off one of their worst performances of the season last Saturday in Waco but that will not happen in Lawrence. The Jayhawks have already won in Morgantown this season and they will pull away late to win this game by 8-10 points. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings between West Virginia and Kansas.

5 Unit Play. Take #568 UCLA -7 over Oregon State (11p.m., Thursday February 15 FS1) The Bruins have vaulted back into the bubble conversation after beating Arizona in Tucson last week. That is the best win of any team in the league, but they must follow that up with a sweep of the Oregon schools at home. UCLA lost the first game to Oregon State and they cannot afford another bad loss on their resume. Oregon State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. UCLA is 6-1 in their last 7 home games against teams with a road losing record

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

5 Unit Play. Take #558 Long Beach State (pk) over Santa Barbara (10p.m., Thursday February 15) Always like to play the Beach at home. This game means more to them tonight and it is a must win if they have any hopes of winning the Big West Regular Season Title. The 49ers are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games against the Gauchos.

4 Unit Play. Take #549 Arizona over Arizona State (9p.m., Thursday February 15 ESPN) Both teams have been treading water of late, but Arizona still has far and away the best talent in the league. They are 10-3 in the conference but they should be 13-0. Arizona State just has not gotten on track during conference play despite running the table in the nonconference portion of the season. They have home losses to Oregon and Utah and Arizona is much better than both of those teams. Arizona State is 3-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 13 games overall. Arizona is 3-0 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 5 games against Arizona State.

4 Unit Play. Take #522 Connecticut -3.5 over Tulsa (7p.m., Thursday February 15 CBSSN) Kevin Ollie is fighting for his job despite having a National Championship on his resume. UCONN is a much better team at home and they should be able to get revenge from a 2-point loss in Oklahoma earlier this season. Tulsa is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a victory in their previous game.

3 Unit Play. Take #508 Wisconsin +10 over Purdue (7p.m., Thursday February 15 ESPN) The Badgers need to survive the start of this game. If they can do that they should be able to keep this game within single digits. Purdue has not been playing as well of late losing two straight games and they have not covered a spread in their last 6 games. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. It is Frank Kaminsky night and look for Wisconsin to show some form on life.

10 Unit Play. Take #788 Boise State over Nevada (11p.m., Wednesday February 14 ESPN U) First place in the MWC is on the line when the Wolf Pack head to Boise, ID to take on the Broncos. This is a must win game for Boise State to keep their at-large chances alive for the NCAA Tournament in March. Boise State played well in Reno before Nevada pulled out a hard-fought victory late. If Boise State gets ahead in the second half Nevada will not be able to come back at Taco Bell Arena. A win by Boise State will put them in great shape to win the conference as Nevada still has road games left at UNLV and San Diego State. Nevada is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 road games. The favorite is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 7 meetings between the Pack and the Broncos.

4 Unit Play. Take #773 St Johns -1 over DePaul (9p.m., Wednesday February 14 CBSSN) The Red Storm are clearly playing their best basketball of the season having won three straight games. Those victories came against Duke, Villanova, and Marquette. All three of those teams are far and away better than what they will see tonight from DePaul. We will start to ride St Johns now until they come back down from their high. The Blue Demons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #741 Clemson +4.5 over Florida State (7p.m., Wednesday February 14 ACCN) The Tigers are having an outstanding season and I see them taking this game down to the wire in Tallahassee tonight. The Seminoles have not been playing well of late losing three of their last four games and only one of those losses have come against a team likely to make the NCAA Tournament. The Underdog is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 9 meetings between the Tigers and Seminoles. 61% of the money is coming in on the underdog and it is with good reason.

4 Unit Play. Take #549 South Carolina over Tennessee (9p.m., Tuesday January 13 ESPN U) The Gamecocks are coming off a terrible performance against Florida on Saturday, but I expect them to play better tonight in Knoxville. This is a lot of points to giving in a conference game and Tennessee got blown out last time out as well. I am just not sold they are a legitimate Final Four contender this season despite being ranked in the top 20. I expect the Gamecocks to hang around for 40 minutes and lose this game by 8-10 points.

4 Unit Play. Take #525 St Bonaventure over La Salle (7p.m., Tuesday January 13) The Explorers just do not have the talent that the Bonnies have. They are coming off back-to-back losses against terrible teams (Saint Louis & George Washington). St Bona has a chance to earn the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament, but this is a game they must win to achieve that. The Bonnies have won 6 straight games and clearly, they are playing their best basketball of the season now. La Salle is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #524 Nebraska over Maryland (7p.m., Tuesday January 13 BTN) The Terrapins have not won a road game in conference play since December and that will hold true again tonight. The Cornhuskers continue to be undervalued by the odds makers despite being well on their way to receiving a bid into the NCAA Tournament. They have won five straight games and have a chance to win their final 4 games this season. Nebraska is 12-1 ATS in their last 13 Big 10 games. 69% of the money is coming in on Nebraska and it is with good reason.

4 Unit Play. Take #713 Notre Dame over North Carolina (7p.m., Monday February 12 ESPN) The Tarheels will be playing their third game in five days and that will catch up with them in this one. They beat both of their rivals in hard fought games and they now play a team desperate for win in Notre Dame. The Irish are starting to get healthy and have won back to back games. Notre Dame has covered the spread in 6 of their last 8 games against North Carolina.

4 Unit Play. Take #820 Wisconsin +4 over Michigan (1p.m., Sunday February 11 CBS) The Wolverines were dominated last time out at Northwestern and playing their second straight road game will be tough to overcome. Wisconsin has covered the spread in two straight games and they have been playing a little better of late. The underdog is 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #671 Boise State over Utah State (9p.m., Saturday February 10 AT&T SN) The Broncos never win by a ton of points but they usually end up on the winning end in the MWC. They currently sit atop the standing and with Nevada having injuries they may be the team to beat now. The Aggies got blown out last time out and they have lost their home court edge that they used to enjoy for decades. The road team is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 match-ups with Boise State and Utah State.

4 Unit Play. Take #636 Arizona State over UCLA (7p.m., Saturday February 10 PAC-12 Network) The Sun Devils made a great comeback last time out against USC to win but they did not have a 3-point spread. Expect them to do both tonight as they look to solidify their NCAA Tournament bid. The Bruins are playing their best basketball of the season but they just do not have the firepower to beat both Arizona and Arizona State on the road. UCLA is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games. The home team is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in the last 16 match-ups between Arizona State and UCLA.

4 Unit Play. Take #543 Kansas over Baylor (2p.m., Saturday February 10 CBS) We have pounded Kansas on the road during conference play most of the season and will not stop now. Kansas wins the Big 12 every year and Baylor will not make the NCAA Tournament barring a miracle run. The Jayhawks have played better on the road this season and they have had success in Waco in the past. Kansas is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Kansas is also 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games played in Waco.

4 Unit Play. Take #588 Arizona State over USC (11p.m., Thursday February 8 ESPN 2) This line is trending toward Arizona State, as they have been one of the most disappointing teams during conference play this season. It is imperative that they sweep the LA schools this week to right the ship. USC is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings with Arizona State. Arizona State is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #563 Wisconsin over Illinois (9.m., Thursday February 8 BTN) Both of these teams lack talent and thus this is too many points to be giving for either team. Wisconsin won the first meeting by 25 points. Wisconsin is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games played in Champaign. Wisconsin is also 18-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games against Illinois.

4 Unit Play. Take #541 Youngstown State over Illinois State (8p.m., Thursday February 8 ESPN 3) The Flames are not as good as their record would indicate and I do not see a blowout tonight in this Horizon League game. This line has been coming down all morning and it is with good reason. The road team is a perfect 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Penguins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. Take #550 Over in Duke @ North Carolina (8p.m., Thursday February 8 ESPN)

Duke will be ready for this game after losing to St. Johns over the weekend. But we saw last night how much talent the Red Storm have despite a terrible record. Duke has great inside presence to offset the offensive rebounding prowess of North Carolina. Duke is 10-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 road games. North Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The road team is 19-7 ATS (1 push) in the last 27 match-ups.

4 Unit Play. Take #549 Duke over North Carolina (8p.m., Thursday February 8 ESPN) Duke will be ready for this game after losing to St. Johns over the weekend. But we saw last night how much talent the Red Storm have despite a terrible record. Duke has great inside presence to offset the offensive rebounding prowess of North Carolina. Duke is 10-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 road games. North Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The road team is 19-7 ATS (1 push) in the last 27 match-ups.

4 Unit Play. Take #608 SIU Edwardsville over Eastern Illinois (8p.m., Thursday February 8) The home team gets the call tonight in a battle of bad teams. The Cougars are coming off their best win of the season against Jacksonville State and they should be able to follow that up with another victory at home. Eastern Illinois is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #764 Over in UNLV @ Nevada (11p.m., Wednesday February 7 CBSSN) Coach Musselman wants Nevada to play more up-tempo and that should bode well tonight with the over. The over has hit 7 of the last 10 match-ups. UNLV has gone over the posted total in 17 of their last 23 games (1 push). Nevada has gone over the posted total in 12 of their last 17 home games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #750 Wyoming over Utah State (9p.m., Wednesday February 7) Wyoming should bounce back at home against Utah State after playing their worst game of the season last time out against Fresno State. Wyoming already won in Logan this season and they will enter this game having won 4 of their last 5 games. Utah State is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Wyoming is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games following a loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #714 Penn State over Maryland (6:30p.m., Wednesday February 7 BTN) Maryland struggled to put away a terrible Wisconsin team on Sunday and injuries have caught up to this team. The Terrapins have lost three of their last four games and Penn State has the revenge factor after losing to Maryland earlier this season in College Park. Penn State has won three of their last four games and should be able to win this game by 8-10 points. The Nittany Lions have covered the spread in four straight games.

4 Unit Play. Take #568 Take Fresno State over San Diego State (11p.m., Tuesday February 6 CBSSN) The Bulldogs are coming off their most impressive win of the season at Wyoming. They will take down SDSU at home tonight as they Aztecs are just not the same team this season under a new coach. SDSU has lost 4 of their last 6 games with their only victories coming against bottom feeder teams in Colorado State and Air Force. Fresno State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against San Diego State.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4 Unit Play. Take #566 New Mexico over Boise State (10p.m., Tuesday February 6 ESPN U) On paper this should be a blowout in favor of the Broncos. But the Lobos just have some magic at home this season and they were embarrassed in the first meeting of the season. They lost that game by 28 points in Boise, ID. The line is very telling in this game and I see New Mexico winning by 3-5 points. Boise State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. New Mexico has covered the spread in 5 straight home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #548 Oklahoma State over Baylor (8p.m., Tuesday February 6 ESPN U) The Bears have been falling apart losing 6 of their last 8 games. One of those victories did come against Oklahoma State but revenge will occur tonight. The Cowboys are coming off their best win of the season (at Kansas) and they will take that momentum into tonight’s game. The home team is 15-6 ATS (2 pushes) in the last 23 meetings between Baylor and Oklahoma State. The Pokes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #542 Kentucky over Tennessee (7p.m., Tuesday February 6 ESPN) Kentucky needs this game more and I expect them to get it at home. The Wildcats have won three of their last four games and must continue to win their home games. Kentucky is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against Tennessee in Lexington. The home team has also covered 4 of the last 5 match-ups between these two programs.

6 Unit Play. Take #720 Oklahoma over West Virginia (9p.m., Monday February 5 ESPN) The books are still overvaluing West Virginia especially when they are on the road. Oklahoma needs to bounce back after losing to Texas on the road on Saturday. The Mountaineers have lost three of their last four games and if you can beat their pressure you will be able to win since they are not a great shooting team. The favorite is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings between West Virginia and Oklahoma.  

4 Unit Play. Take #602 Stanford over Oregon (5p.m., Saturday February 3 FOX) We used the Cardinal at home on Thursday and cruised to an easy victory. Expect a similar result this afternoon in Stanford, CA. The Cardinal play much better at home and the Ducks lost a bunch of talent from their Final Four team a season ago. Stanford is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.  

4 Unit Play. Take #588 Syracuse over Virginia (4p.m., Saturday February 3 ACCN) Syracuse needs this game for their resume as they lack quality wins this season. They always play Virginia tough and I just do not believe they will get run out of the building on Saturday. The Orange have covered the last 4 meetings against the Cavaliers. The Underdog has covered 4 straight games in this match-up as well.

4 Unit Play. Take #556 Wyoming over Fresno State (2p.m., Saturday February 3 AT&T SN) Really like Wyoming in this game at home. They are coming off a double overtime victory in Fort Collins last time out. Fresno State gave Nevada a decent game for 35 minutes but they are just not the same team this season. They will be playing their second straight road game and they will enter having lost two straight games. Wyoming has great size and they are a tough team to beat when they are making their 3-point shots. Fresno State is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Wyoming is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #564 Stanford over Oregon State (11p.m., Thursday February 1 FS1) Stanford is a tough out at home this season. They beat Arizona State and took Arizona to the wire in their last home games. They lost both games in Los Angeles last week and thus they need to get back on track to stay above .500 in conference play. The Beavers have lost 4 of their last 5 games. Stanford is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #568 Under in San Francisco @ Saint Mary’s (11p.m., Thursday February 1 ESPN) The Gales are very tough to score points upon especially in Moraga. They have gone under the posted total in 6 straight home games. USF has gone under the posted total in 35 of their last 52 games following an ATS win in their previous game. The under has hit in 5 of the last 7 match-ups between USF and St Mary’s.

4 Unit Play. Take #568 Over in BYU @ LMU (11p.m., Thursday February 1) Expect a high scoring game in this one. The over is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. BYU is an up-tempo team and they should be able to dictate their style in this game. LMU is averaging 79 points per game.

4 Unit Play. Take #548 Wisconsin over Northwestern (8:30p.m., Thursday February 1 BTN) Just do not see Wisconsin losing two straight home games in a row. This is the Wildcats second straight road game and they will have trouble matching-up with Ethan Happ down low. Northwestern is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The favorite is 12-4 ATS in the last 16 match-ups.

4 Unit Play. Take #516 William & Mary over Elon (7p.m., Thursday February 1) The Tribe look for the season sweep of Elon tonight in Williamsburg, as they try and stay at the top of the standing. Bill and Mary have lost two straight home games and they need to right the ship in a big way. Elon is 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games played on Thursday. Bill and Mary is 9-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #776 Long Beach State -2.5 over Cal Irvine (10:30p.m., Wednesday January 31) The 49ers always play a brutal nonconference schedule, but they have moved to the top of the Big West standing and I expect them to stay there for the season. They have won 3 straight games and have revenge on their minds after losing to Irvine earlier this season. Irvine is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record.

4 Unit Play. Take #769 Wyoming -5 over Colorado State (9p.m., Wednesday January 31) The Rams are a sinking ship with injuries getting the best of them. They have lost four straight games with the last two coming in blowout fashion. The Pokes are one of the top teams in the league and this is a game that they must win to remain there. This is a border battle and Colorado State will have some moments in this game. I just feel Wyoming will pull away in the second half and win this game by 9-11 points. The road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

4 Unit Play. Take #738 Iowa State +9.5 over West Virginia (7p.m., Wednesday January 31 ESPN U) We have a good feel for West Virginia this season. We went against them on Saturday against Kentucky and won and will do so again on Tuesday. Iowa State is way down this season but they are always a tough out at home. The Cyclones were blown out last time out against Tennessee and expect pride to set in for this game. If you take care of the basketball West Virginia has trouble beating you since they usually do not shoot a high percentage from the field.

4 Unit Play. Take #543 Illinois State over Missouri State (8p.m., Tuesday January 30 ESPN 3) This is a lot of points to be given for two teams that are both 5-5 in league play. The Redbirds won the first meeting by 4 points and I see that as the margin of victory tonight. The Bears are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Illinois State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Tuesday.

4 Unit Play. Take #720 Under 147.5 in Kansas @ Kansas State (9p.m., Monday January 29 ESPN)

Kansas is going to win the Big 12 and thus we will ride them whenever they have a low number like tonight in Manhattan, KS. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road game. Kansas State is 3-7 ATS in their lasts 10 home games. Kansas has gone under the posted total in 55 of their last 83 road games (3 pushes). Kansas is 15-6 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 23 games against Kansas State.

4 Unit Play. Take #722 Wisconsin -3.5 over Nebraska (9p.m., Monday January 29 BTN) Homecourt means everything in the Big 10 this season and Wisconsin has played just three conference home this season and has had a brutal schedule. They will improve during the second half with 6 home games and getting some experience for their young players. Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The home team is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 9 match-ups.

4 Unit Play. Take #716 Duke -14.5 over Notre Dame (7p.m., Monday January 29 ESPN) The Irish just do not have the weapons to complete at Duke. The line is big for a reason and expect Duke to win this game by 20 points. The Blue Devils are angry and losing to Virginia at home on Saturday and will take out their frustrations in a big way Monday. Notre Dame is without Farrell and Colson and they are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #730 Rider -6 over Monmouth (7p.m., Monday January 29) Rider currently sits atop the standing in the MAAC and Monmouth is just not the team it was a couple of years ago. Monmouth is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played on Monday. Rider is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on Monday. The home teams is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings between Monmouth and Rider.

4 Unit Play. Take #848 Under 149 in Washington State @ Washington (8p.m., Sunday January 28 ESPN U) The Huskies have a new coach and a new identity this season. They no longer push the ball as much and if they can control the pace against Washington State they should be able to keep this score in the high sixties. Washington has gone under the posted total in 23 of their last 30 conference games. Washington State has gone under the posted total in 18 of their last 26 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #659 San Diego State (PK) over UNLV (10p.m., Saturday January 27 CBSSN) Both of these teams have been disappointing in conference play. I still believe San Diego State has more talent and their style of play should frustrate the Rebels. UNLV has been terrible at home in conference play and expect that to hold true again on Saturday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #658 Illinois State -3.5 over Valparaiso (10p.m., Saturday January 27 ESPN 2) The Crusaders are finding life much more difficult in the MVC this season compared to the Horizon League. Valpo is just 2-7 in league play and will enter this game having lost 4 straight games. Valpo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. ISU is 11-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 games following a loss in their previous game. SDSU is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games in Las Vegas against UNLV.

4 Unit Play. Take #650 Nebraska -3.5 over Iowa (8p.m., Saturday January 27 BTN)

4 Unit Play. Take #643 Colorado +10 over Arizona State (8p.m., Saturday January 27 ESPN U) Arizona State just has not been the same team in conference play as they were in the nonconference portion of the season. The Sun Devils have also struggled at home as well against inferior competition and that should hold true again on Saturday.

4 Unit Play. Take #585 Kentucky +9.5 over West Virginia (7p.m., Saturday January 27 ESPN)

10 Unit Play. Take #596 Arizona -8.5 over Utah (5:30p.m., Saturday January 27 FOX) TOP NCAA GAME OF THE DAY. Not much needs to be said about this game. Arizona is going to win straight-up and they are due for a blowout victory. Arizona turned it on in the second half against Colorado and that game was not in doubt late. The Wildcats already won in Salt Lake City by 12 points and Utah is just not the same team on the road. Arizona has some injury issues, but it will not matter if those guys play. Either way they are winning by double digits. The favorite is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #676 Montana State +6 over Southern Utah (4p.m., Saturday January 27) The Bobcats are in desperate need of a victory having lost 4 straight games. They have already beaten Southern Utah once this season and look to complete the quinella at home on Saturday. The Thunderbirds have gotten blown out on the road most of the season and today should be no different. Southern Utah is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #553 Florida Atlantic -1.5 over Rice (3p.m., Saturday January 27 ESPN 3) No bet against Rice is a bad bet this season. The Owls are just 5-16 on the season and most of their losses have been blowouts. FAU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. Rice is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 conference games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups.

5 Unit Play. Take #534 Duke -3.5 over Virginia (2p.m., Saturday January 27 CBS) Duke needs this game if they have any chance of winning the ACC Regular Season Championship. Virginia is 8-0 in the ACC but they have played a home heavy schedule and all three of their road games have come against inferior competition. Duke has so much offensive firepower that Virginia will not be able to match. Duke has covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 home games. Virginia will have their moments in this game but Duke will pull away late to win this game by 7-9 points.

4 Unit Play. Take #566 Pepperdine over LMU (10p.m., Thursday January 25) This is a bottom feeder match-up in the WCC but we will side with the Waves since they are playing this game in Malibu. LMU is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games played on Thursday. Pepperdine has covered the spread 27 times in the last 38 games against LMU. 

4 Unit Play. Take #554 Over in USF @ Tulane (9p.m., Thursday January 25 ESPN U) This is a get-well game for Tulane as USF is one of the worst teams in the country. The Green Wave should be able to put up 80 points in this game giving us a good chance to collect with the over if that would occur. USF has gone over the posted total in five straight games. Tulane has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 13 home games. The over is 5-0 in the last 5 match-ups between USF and Tulane. 

4 Unit Play. Take #510 Hofstra over Northeastern (7p.m., Thursday January 25) The Pride have already won in Boston this season and look to complete the season sweep of the Huskies. This will be Northeastern’s third road game in the last four games and that will catch up with them tonight. Hofstra has covered the spread 4 straight times on games played on Thursday. 

4 Unit Play. Take #768 Wyoming over Nevada (11p.m., Wednesday January 24 ESPN U) Wyoming played Nevada tough in the first meeting in Reno despite getting nothing from Hayden Dalton. He will play much better tonight and Laramie is always a tough place to play. Nevada is coming off a win against Boise State last time out and they currently sit at 7-0 in conference play. But all of their tough games lie ahead, and they will struggle to consistently win games on the road against tough competition. Nevada is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 road games. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Nevada and Wyoming. 66% of the money is coming in on Nevada yet the line is dropping. This is usually a good sign that Wyoming is the correct side. 

4 Unit Play. Take #751 Air Force over Utah State (9p.m., Wednesday January 24) Air Force is back in action after having their game cancelled over the weekend because of the government shutdown. They are set to do battle with a Utah State team that has lost 4 straight games including a pair of home games against Colorado State and Wyoming. The Force is playing their best basketball of the season having won two straight games and I do not see them getting run out of the gym tonight in Logan. The Falcons have covered the spread in 5 straight games. Utah State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #759 Stanford over Southern Cal (9p.m., Wednesday January 24 ESPN U) USC is just a hard team to trust as a big favorite. They have been playing better of late, but Stanford already beat them once this season and I do not envision them getting blown out in this game. Stanford took Arizona to the wire last time out and led by double digits in the second half. Stanford has covered the spread in 6 straight games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #735 Nebraska over Rutgers (7pm., Wednesday January 24 BTN) The Cornhuskers have been holding their won during Big 10 play currently sitting at 5-4. Rutgers has lost three of their last four games and they have only beaten Iowa and Wisconsin this season. Nebraska is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Big 10 games. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with Rutgers. 

5 Unit Play. Take #548 Minnesota over Northwestern (9p.m., Tuesday January 23 BTN) These are two of the most disappointing teams in the conference this season. That being said, Minnesota has great size and talent compared to Northwestern. There season is on the line tonight and this is a must win if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.

5 Unit Play. Take #535 Wisconsin over Iowa (7p.m., Tuesday January 23 ESPN 2) Iowa and Illinois are far and away the worst teams in a terrible Big 10 this season. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games with their only win coming against Illinois, a team that is winless in the conference. Wisconsin has beaten Iowa 6 of the last 7 games. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 match-ups between the Badgers and Hawkeyes. 

5 Unit Play. Take #521 Kansas over Oklahoma (7p.m., Tuesday January 23 ESPN) The Jayhawks just do not lose games in the Big 12 and expect them to take care of a tired Sooner team tonight in Norman. Oklahoma is coming off an overtime loss to Oklahoma State last time out. Trae Young is awesome and will get his tonight, but I just am not sold on his supporting cast. Kansas has won 5 straight games including a road game at West Virginia. The road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 

4 Unit Play. Take #722 Virginia Tech over North Carolina (7p.m., Monday January 22 ESPN) The Hokies need quality wins to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament and who better to get it against then the defending champions. Virginia Tech is a much better team at home and they have the offensive firepower to match North Carolina in scoring. The Tar Heels are just 1-2 on the road in ACC play with their only victory coming against Notre Dame by one point. North Carolina is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 road games. Virginia Tech is 24-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 35 road games.

4 Unit Play. Take #826 Iona -5 over Canisius (1p.m., Sunday January 21 ESPN 3) The two best teams in the MAAC are set to do battle on Sunday. We will side with the traditional power as Iona got a great victory on Friday and has a ton of momentum entering this battle of 6-1 teams. The home team has covered 4 straight in this series. Canisius is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. 

4 Unit Play. Take 662 Bradley over Evansville (8p.m., Saturday January 20 ESPN 3) Bradley has started to show some life under Brian Wardle for the first time in close to a decade. This team has a chance in a wide-open conference now that Wichita State is no longer in the league. The Braves have lost two straight road games but have beaten Northern Iowa, Valparaiso, and Southern Illinois at home. I believe all three of those teams are better than Evansville. Bradley is 21-4 ATS in their last 27 home games. Home team has covered 4 of the last 5 meetings. 

4 Unit Play. Take #639 San Diego State over New Mexico (7p.m., Saturday January 20 CBSSN) Still believe that New Mexico is terrible, and San Diego State has underachieved thus far. New Mexico has won three of their last four games, but I just do not take them seriously. San Diego State still has a lot of talent and sooner or later they will put it together and make some noise in the MWC. The road teams is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 meetings. The favorite is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. 

4 Unit Play. Take #556 Northwestern over Penn State (2p.m., Saturday January 20 BTN) Homecourt in the Big 10 is still a major factor when handicapping games and expect the Wildcats get back on track. Northwestern has lost just one conference home game this season and Penn State has played a home heavy schedule thus far. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings between Penn State and Northwestern. This is the second meeting of the season and expect Northwestern to extract some revenge. 

4 Unit Play. Take #544 Eastern Michigan over Ohio (2p.m., Saturday January 20 ESPN 3) Ohio has been struggling in conference play and I do not see things getting any better today in Ypsilanti. The Bobcats lost by 34 points at home last time out and that is just not something you can come back from in 4 days. The Eagles have won two of their last three games and are always a tough team to beat at home. The home team is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Eastern Michigan is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. 

4 Unit Play. Take #824 Wisconsin over Illinois (9p.m., Friday January 19 FS1) Wisconsin has lost three straight road games and they are in desperate need for a victory tonight at the Kohl Center. The Illini are 0-6 in the Big 10 and are in a complete rebuild this season under a new coach. Home court means everything in the Big 10 and Wisconsin should feel more confident and be able to shoot better. The favorite is 19-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 27 meetings between Illinois and Wisconsin. 

4 Unit Play. Take #827 Iona over Monmouth (7p.m., Friday January 19 ESPN 3) The Hawks are usually one of the top teams in the MAAC but that is not the case this season. Leading scorer Micah Seaborn has not played much of late and he is listed as doubtful for this game. Iona sits atop the standing at 5-1 and will enter this game having won 4 straight games. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these schools. Monmouth is also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #818 Over in Indiana @ Michigan State (7p.m. Friday January 19 FS1) The total on this game has moved three points up since its release and it is for good reason. Michigan State has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 7 home games. The Over in 7-3-1 in their last 11 meetings between these two schools in East Lansing, MI. 

5 Unit Play. Take #558 Oregon over USC (9p.m., Thursday January 18 ESPN 2) Oregon put forth a good effort playing the Arizona schools last week in the desert. They covered both games and beat Arizona State. They have a solid system and a great coach and that is more than USC offers. The Trojans may have more talent in this game but they have seldom played up to their ability this season. Oregon is 38-17 ATS in their last 55 PAC-12 games.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

5 Unit Play. Take #544 South Alabama over Coastal Carolina (8:05p.m., Thursday January 18) This number is low considering how bad Coastal Carolina is. The Chanticleers have lost five straight games with the last 4 coming by double digits. USA is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Coastal Carolina is also 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
