03-10-17	Duke v. North Carolina -3		93-83	Loss	-110	24 h 19 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #570 Take North Carolina over Duke (7 pm ESPN) Yes this is a rivalry but this line is way too low considering how Duke is playing compared to North Carolina. The Tar Heels will be playing their second game in the tournament compared to Duke playing their third game in three days. Louisville had Duke on the ropes on Thursday but could not put them away. North Carolina will not make this same mistake. Carolina is more experienced and has much better size in the paint. Duke is just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog of 6.5 points or less. North Carolina is 20-7 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 29 neutral site games. Grayson Allen is still not shooting the ball very well and thus Carolina will win this rubber game by double digits.
03-10-17	TCU v. Iowa State -4.5		63-84	Win	100	8 h 35 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #574 Take Iowa State -4.5 over TCU (7 pm ESPN 2) With Kansas and Baylor going down this tournament is wide open with all 4 teams believing they have a chance to win it. TCU is coming off an emotional high and I believe they will come back down to reality in this game against a team that does very well in this conference tournament. This is a rubber match with each team winning on their home floor but the Cyclones have played extremely well down the stretch winning 7 of their last 8 games. Despite being Kansas yesterday they Horned Frogs have gone the other losing 7 of their last 9 games and falling out of at-large contention (they must win the Big 12 Conference Tournament to make the Big Dance).
03-10-17	Indiana v. Wisconsin -4		60-70	Win	100	7 h 7 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #522 Take Wisconsin -4 over Indiana (6:30 pm BTN) Indiana has not been able to handle prosperity well this season. Despite playing an outstanding second half against Iowa I feel things will come crashing down on them on Friday in Washington D.C. Wisconsin beat them twice this season and appeared to get back on track following their senior day victory against Minnesota on Sunday. Indiana is 16-35 ATS (1 push) in their last 52 games following an ATS victory in their previous game.
03-09-17	San Diego State -1 v. Boise State		87-68	Win	100	12 h 60 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #789 Take San Diego State -1 over Boise State (11:30 pm CBSSN) The Aztecs were all but dead yesterday against UNLV. They not only rallied from a 21 point second half deficit but they covered a 9 point spread. They have a chance to win this conference tournament and will carry that momentum into tonight’s games against Boise State. The Aztecs being favored tells me all I need to know about this game. Boise State just does not have many athletic playmakers and that usually spells trouble the deeper you go into the conference tournament. SDSU has revenge and not many teams can sweep the season series against them. Boise State is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games.
03-09-17	UT-Rio Grande Valley v. UMKC -6.5		78-82	Loss	-110	11 h 34 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #820 Take UMKC -6.5 over UT Rio Grande Valley (10 pm) Usually the chalk holds serve in these lesser conference tournament in the earlier rounds and expect that to be the case again on Thursday. The Vaqueros have lost nine straight games to close out the regular season. The Kangaroos beat them twice and they will complete the trifecta on Friday. RGV is 1-9 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
03-09-17	Texas A&M v. Vanderbilt -3		41-66	Win	100	8 h 32 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #772 Take Vanderbilt -3 over Texas A&M (7 pm SEC Network) The Commodores have come too far to gag this game. The Aggies are not great three-point shooting team and this is a recipe for disaster in today’s game. Vanderbilt beat Texas A&M twice this season and will enter this game having won five of their six games. Texas A&M is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Vanderbilt is 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with a winning record.
03-09-17	Indiana -2 v. Iowa		95-73	Win	100	7 h 54 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #723 Take Indiana -2 over Iowa (6:30 pm ESPN 2) I just believe the upside for Indiana is much greater than it is for Iowa. The Hawkeyes have won four straight games but I just do not believe they have much talent. Indiana got healthy towards the end of the season and I feel they will make some noise in this tournament (must win it to make the NCAA Tournament). Iowa is 5-18 ATS in their last 23 neutral site games.
03-09-17	Tulane v. Tulsa -4.5		60-66	Win	100	23 h 35 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #802 Take Tulsa over Tulane (6 pm ESPNN) The line tells me something about this game. Tulsa got run out of the gym last game against Tulane yet enters as a small favorite in this game. That is because the Green Wave have won just six games this season and they are one of the worst teams in the country. The Golden Hurricanes were 8-10 this season in the American Athletic Conference and most of those wins came against the bottom of the league and Tulane qualifies as a bottom feeder team. Tulane is 13-40 ATS in their last 53 games as an underdog of 6.5 points or less. Tulsa is 20-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 31 games against teams with a losing record. Tulsa learned their lesson last week and will win this game by double digits.
03-09-17	East Carolina v. Temple -5		80-69	Loss	-105	4 h 60 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #800 Take Temple -5 over East Carolina (3:30 pm ESPN U) 78% of the money is coming in on Temple and it is with good reason. This is the rubber match as both teams come in with blowout home victories against each other. The Owls have won two straight games by double digits and that is how is see this game going as well. East Carolina is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games played on Thursday. Temple is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games played on Thursday.
03-09-17	Western Michigan -2 v. Ball State		63-66	Loss	-110	3 h 8 m	Show
7 Unit Play. #745 Take Western Michigan -1.5 over Ball State (2:30 pm) Just cannot go against the Broncos at the moment having won nine straight games including a 25-point victory against Ball State during this time. They have had a remarkable turnaround to the 2016-2017 season and they will advance to the semi-finals. Ball State is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 neutral site games. Western Michigan is 23-9 ATS (1 push) in their last 33 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
03-09-17	Duke +3 v. Louisville		81-77	Win	100	3 h 55 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #713 Take Duke +2.5 over Louisville (2:30 pm ESPN) Just not been sold on this Louisville team this season especially away from the YUM Center. Duke has more talent it is just a matter of them playing together. Playing yesterday should help them to set up a rubber match with North Carolina.
03-09-17	Seton Hall v. Marquette OVER 148		82-76	Win	100	3 h 53 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #730 Take Over 148.5 in Seton Hall vs. Marquette (2:30 FS1) Expect Marquette to dictate the pace of play. The Golden Eagles can score points at will and do not play much defense and thus this game should go over the posted total. Marquette has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 7 neutral site games. Seton Hall has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games played on Thursday.
03-09-17	Eastern Michigan v. Akron -4		62-79	Win	100	17 h 34 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #744 Take Akron over Eastern Michigan (12 pm ESPN 3) Akron won a lot of close games this season before that caught up with them down the stretch, as they lost three of their last five games. But they righted the ship last time out against Kent State and now they must win three straight games in order to make the NCAA Tournament (1 bid league). Akron won both meetings this season with Eastern Michigan, the first one by 7 in Akron and the last meeting by 11 points in Ypsilanti. The Eagles started off conference play hot and I thought they would be the team to beat in the MAC West but they hit a lull losing seven straight games before beating some bottom feeder teams to close out the regular season (Northern Illinois – 2, Central Michigan). The Eagles are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games. Akron is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a small favorite of 6.5 points or less.
03-08-17	Missouri v. Auburn -6		86-83	Loss	-110	28 h 8 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #580 Take Auburn over Missouri (9:30 pm SECN) The Kim Anderson Era is thankfully coming to an end and I do not see his team playing hard to try and save his job for one more game. Missouri is just a complete disaster and a shaky Auburn team already beat them twice this season. Missouri will enter this game having lost six straight games and did not win a conference road game this season (won just 2 home games). Auburn has covered the spread 4 straight games against teams with a losing record.
03-08-17	Florida Atlantic v. Marshall -6		74-89	Win	100	10 h 51 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #538 Take Marshall over FAU (9 pm) Marshall is an offensive juggernaut and a team that does not play much defense. They need to outscore their opponents and that is exactly what they will do tonight. They beat FAU by 17 points in Boca Raton in their only meeting this season. FAU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Marshall is 26-11 ATS in their last 37 games as a favorite.
03-08-17	UNLV v. San Diego State -8		52-62	Win	100	26 h 48 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #552 Take San Diego State over UNLV (7 pm) Most years people think UNVL can win this conference tournament since it is annually played on their home court. Nobody is making that claim this season. UNLV is terrible and they have won just one game since January 22nd. San Diego State has already beaten this team twice by double digits and I feel SDSU can make some noise in this winner take all tournament. If San Diego State can take control early, UNLV will fold. That did not happen in their last game against Utah State but it will happen tonight. UNLV is 3-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. San Diego State is 16-7 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 26 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
03-08-17	Air Force v. Wyoming -5		83-68	Loss	-115	23 h 9 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #550 Take Wyoming over Air Force (4:30 pm) Air Force is a sinking ship now and Wyoming will beat them for a third straight game this season. The Falcons have won just one game since January 25th and they only have been competitive in one of those nine losses. The Cowboys play a different style of offense this season and expect them to run Air Force right out of the gym. Wyoming has covered the spread in 4 straight games.
03-08-17	South Alabama v. Coastal Carolina -2		67-80	Win	100	1 h 30 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #540 Take Coastal Carolina over South Alabama (12:30 pm ESPN 3) Both teams finished close to the bottom in the standing but Coastal Carolina beat USA in their only meeting this season. The Chanticleers have alternated wins and losses in their last six games and expect that to hold true again on Wednesday. The Jaguars have lost four of their last five games and I do not see things getting any better today. 82% of the money is coming in on Coastal Carolina and we will go with them as well.
03-08-17	Miami-FL v. Syracuse +2		62-57	Loss	-104	1 h 2 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #524 Take Syracuse over Miami (12 pm ESPN) The Orange will have a major edge in crowd since the ACC Tournament is in New York City this season. Syracuse might still need to win this game to make the NCAA Tournament this season and they always seem to win the games they need when they need it. Syracuse beat Miami in their only meeting this season by 15 points. Miami is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games played on Wednesday. Syracuse is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games when they are an underdog.
03-07-17	Florida AandM v. South Carolina State -5		78-82	Loss	-105	9 h 58 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #730 Take South Carolina State over Florida A&M (6:30 pm ESPN 3) All the early money is coming on the Bulldogs and it is with good reason. They just beat the Rattlers by 11 points last week and Florida A&M will enter having lost 5 straight games (the last 4 by over tonight’s posted number). Florida A&M is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games. South Carolina State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
03-07-17	Pittsburgh -1.5 v. Georgia Tech		61-59	Win	100	8 h 22 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #711 Take Pittsburgh over Georgia Tech (7 pm ESPN U) Georgia Tech had their moment during the conference season but this team is a fraud and is not going to sniff the NCAA Tournament at all this season. Pittsburgh is 4-14 during conference play yet enters this game as a favorite and that tells me all I need to know. The Panthers have the two best players on the floor and they also have revenge on their minds after losing to Georgia Tech in Atlanta last week. Georgia Tech is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played on Tuesday.
03-07-17	Northern Arizona +6.5 v. Portland State		67-80	Loss	-110	28 h 14 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #717 Take Northern Arizona over Portland State (5:30 pm) We will grab the points in this game as it is a rubber match between Northern Arizona and Portland State. The Lumberjacks might have played their best game of the season last time out against Eastern Washington and I just do not see a blowout in this game. Northern Arizona is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Portland State is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a losing record.
03-06-17	BYU +7 v. St. Mary's	Top	50-81	Loss	-110	27 h 2 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #541 Take BYU over Saint Mary’s (11:30 pm ESPN) Just feel that BYU is playing at an equal level of Saint Mary’s at the moment and they must win this game to have any thoughts of making the NCAA Tournament this season. Do not be fooled by the final score of the Gaels game on Saturday against the Pilots. Portland is a very depleted team and yet trailed by just single digits for some of the second half before running out of gas in a big way to lose by 23 points. BYU has much more depth and talent compared to Portland and I just do not believe Saint Mary’s is good enough to beat them three times in one season. Throw in the fact we are getting this many points and it is just too good to pass up. Saint Mary’s is 4-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 15 games following an ATS win in their previous game.
03-06-17	Northern Illinois v. Eastern Michigan OVER 140		69-72	Win	100	8 h 46 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #526 Take Over in Northern Illinois @ Eastern Michigan (7 pm ESPN 3) Both teams are averaging over 72 points per game and if they hit that mark again on Monday we will easily collect with the over. These two teams met twice this season and score 150 & 152 total points in those games. This is the final game of the season for the loser and thus they will play it out all the way to the end with fouling and that will increase the scoring in this game.
03-06-17	Central Michigan v. Kent State -8.5		106-116	Win	100	8 h 45 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #532 Take Kent State over Central Michigan (7 pm) The Chippewas have fallen off a cliff to finish out the 2016-2017 season and will lose seven straight games to close out the season. Keno Davis has always been flawed as a coach and he is starting to wear out his welcome here as well. The Golden Flashes have won five of their last six games with their only loss coming against Akron (best team in the league). CMU is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog. Kent State is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
03-05-17	Minnesota v. Wisconsin -6.5		49-66	Win	100	16 h 18 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #836 Take Wisconsin over Minnesota (6 pm BTN) Sooner or later Wisconsin is going to put it together and it might as well be on Sunday. The odds makers are daring you to bet Minnesota but Wisconsin has too much pride to go out on senior day with a whimper. They cannot continue to miss every free throw and every three point shot from three of their players on the court. Wisconsin already won at Minnesota this season and they realize they importance of getting back on track in this game. Minnesota is 3-18 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog of 6.5 points or less.
03-04-17	San Diego State v. New Mexico +1		59-64	Win	100	11 h 38 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #642 Take New Mexico +1 over San Diego State (10 pm CBSSN) This is an important game for both teams as the winner will receive a bye next week in the conference tournament and must win three games instead of four games. New Mexico should get a big boast with Tim Williams back in the line-up. This should give New Mexico an added punch on offense and expect them to take care of business at home. San Diego State just does not have much offensive firepower especially if they are not making shots for the outside. San Diego State is 2-7 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 11 road games.
03-04-17	Mercer v. East Tennessee State -6	Top	66-73	Win	100	26 h 34 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #692 Take East Tennessee State over Mercer (8:30 pm ESPN 3) Mercer is a traditional power in the Southern Conference and thus this line is lower than what it should be. But this is nowhere near as strong as past Bears teams and ETSU will complete the three game sweep of them on Saturday night. Neither of the first two meetings was very competitive with the Buccaneers winning the first game by 9 points and the second game by 17 points last month. This is a one bid league for ETSU has yet to accomplish anything and must win this conference tournament to make the NCAA Tournament. ETSU has won six of their last seven games. ETSU is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday.
03-04-17	Colorado State +7 v. Nevada		72-85	Loss	-115	8 h 28 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #631 Take Colorado State +6.5 over Nevada (8 pm ESPN 3) This is a winner take all game for the regular season crown and I just do not see a blowout. Both teams enter with long winning streaks but Nevada has been playing bottom feeder teams during most of this five-game winning streak. Colorado State has been living right of late and I believe that luck will carry over into this game. Colorado State is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games.
03-04-17	Harvard v. Pennsylvania -1		72-75	Win	100	8 h 35 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #622 Take Pennsylvania -1 over Harvard (7 pm) Harvard is coming off a tough road loss at Princeton last night and now must go on the road again in a game that means absolutely nothing to them. Remember Harvard still has a chance next week to make the NCAA Tournament as the Ivy League now has a conference tournament featuring the top four teams.
03-04-17	Cornell v. Brown -3		92-78	Loss	-105	7 h 34 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #604 Take Brown -3 over Cornell (6 pm) This is the last game of the season for both teams. The Bears pounded Columbia last night and now face a worse team in Cornell tonight. The Big Red have lost 9 of their last 10 games and only one of their last 4 games has been competitive. Cornell is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday.
03-04-17	Stanford v. Utah -7.5		59-67	Win	100	5 h 33 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #586 Take Utah -8 over Stanford (4 pm PAC-12 Network) Utah is just a different animal at home. Although they do not have many quality wins away from Salt Lake City they have a ton of them at home. Stanford got blown out by Colorado last time out and Utah is a better team than the Buffs. Stanford is 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a road underdog. Utah is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday.
03-04-17	California v. Colorado -2.5		46-54	Win	100	3 h 33 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #546 Take Colorado -2.5 over California (2 pm PAC-12 Network) Cal is seeing their season crumble now and I just do not think they can win a true road game in a hostile environment. They got blown out last time out at Utah and it would not surprise me if history repeats itself on Saturday in Boulder. Colorado is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 home games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less.
03-04-17	Illinois -3.5 v. Rutgers		59-62	Loss	-110	17 h 3 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #517 Take Illinois over Rutgers (12 pm EXPN U) When it seemed that John Groce was all but fired and Illinois had no chance of making the NCAA Tournament, the Illini win four straight games including two against NCAA Tournament teams. They have just come too far to gag this game against the worst, who is far and away the worst team in the league. Rutgers has been competitive in a few games of late but Maryland was reeling and beat them by 20 points and I see this as a 10-12 point victory for Illinois. Rutgers is 19-42 ATS in their last 51 Big 10 games. Illinois is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. Illinois goes into the tournament sky high with a double digit road victory to close out the season.
03-03-17	Portland v. San Diego -2.5		60-55	Loss	-110	29 h 46 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #882 Take San Diego over Portland (11:30 pm) Portland will be out after a quick appearance in the WCC tournament. The Pilots have not won a conference game since 12/31 and the Toreros have already beaten them twice this season. Without Alec Wintering this is just not a very good offensive team. They gave San Diego a battle last week losing by just three points and I see them losing this game by 8-10 points. 6-12 is a much better record than 2-16 and we will lay the points tonight. San Diego is 16-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 22 games against teams with a losing record.
03-03-17	Murray State v. Tennessee-Martin -2		67-73	Win	100	11 h 47 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #894 Take UT Martin over Murray State (10 pm ESPN U) Murray State will be running out of gas as this will be their third straight game in the last three days. That includes a double overtime game on Thursday. The Skyhawks lost to the Racers in the only meeting this season so they will not take them lightly in this game. The Racers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. UT-Martin is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less.
03-03-17	Drexel v. James Madison -3.5		70-80	Win	100	9 h 11 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #878 Take James Madison over Drexel (8:30 pm) No bet against Drexel is a bad bet and expect the Dukes to knock them out tonight in Charleston. James Madison beat Drexel twice this season and look for them to complete the trifecta on Friday. James Madison is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games when they are a favorite. Drexel is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog.
03-02-17	California v. Utah -2.5		44-74	Win	100	27 h 56 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #748 Take Utah over California (11 pm ESPN U) A big game for both teams who still have visions of making the NCAA Tournament. Utah is always a tough team to beat in Salt Lake City and tonight will be no different. The Golden Bears have lost three of their last four games with their only win coming against bottom feeder Oregon State. This was a 2 point game at Cal a few weeks ago but I see Utah winning this game by 6-8 points. Utah has a bad loss to Oregon State on their resume and they must sweep the Bay Area schools this week. Utah is 38-14 ATS in their last 52 home games against teams with a losing road record.
03-02-17	Montana +4 v. Weber State		78-74	Win	100	9 h 17 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #761 Take Montana +4 over Weber State (9 pm) Just do not see a blowout between these two teams tonight in Utah. This was a three-point game when these two teams met in Montana and I see it as another tight game tonight. The Wildcats have lost three straight games and have blown their chance to win the regular season title. The Grizzles are coming off a bad performance last week and I see them getting back on track tonight. Montana is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Weber State is 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
03-02-17	Rice v. Marshall -2.5		89-88	Loss	-110	7 h 18 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #708 Take Marshall -2.5 over Rice (7 pm) We will jump back on the Thundering Herd at home selection. This will be a welcome sight for them as they have played five of their last seven games on the road. Marshall has lost just two games at home this season. Rice is on a nice winning streak but they have been playing teams at the bottom of the standings and they have not been blowing out many of those teams.
03-01-17	Utah State -4 v. UNLV		59-66	Loss	-110	28 h 48 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #571 Take Utah State over UNLV (11 pm ESPN U) The Runnin Rebels are just playing out the string at the moment and will not win another game this season. UNLV has lost 9 straight games and if they could not get up playing Nevada over the weekend (in-state rival, lost 94-58), how are they going to be motivated for playing Utah State. The Aggies are looking for their first three game winning streak in MWC play under Tim Duryea and they already beat this UNLV team by a score of 79-63. UNLV just does not have any keepers from this year’s team that they can build upon for next season. Only one of their last six losses has been a competitive game and this one will not be either. Utah State is not any good either, but they have shown some signs of life and they will go all out to win their last regular season game of the season. Utah State is 40-19 ATS (1 push) in their last 60 games as a favorite. UNLV is 5-22 ATS (1 push) in their last 28 MWC games.
02-28-17	Fresno State v. Boise State -4.5		74-67	Loss	-110	11 h 36 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #754 Take Boise State over Fresno State (10 pm CBSSN) This is an important game for seeding for the upcoming winner take all conference tournament. A win by the Broncos will guarantee a top three seed. Fresno State is just a different team on the road and we will lay the wood against them tonight. Boise State is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played on Tuesday. Fresno State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Throw in revenge and I see a 7-8 point victory at Taco Bell Arena by the home team. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-28-17	Indiana +11 v. Purdue		75-86	Push	0	7 h 25 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #719 Take Indiana over Purdue (7 pm ESPN 2) The Hoosiers have had a disappointing season and this in-state rival is the only thing that will motivate them for the rest of the season. Indiana will put forth a good effort in this game. They do not have enough to win the conference tournament but most of their games recently have been competitive despite losing five of their last six. Purdue is starting to feel the pressure of winning the Big 10 Championship. They barely beat Penn State and got pounded by Michigan over the weekend. Indiana is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
02-28-17	St Bonaventure v. Davidson -3	Top	63-68	Win	100	23 h 29 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #724 Take Davidson over St Bonaventure (7 pm) The Wildcats have not lived up to expectations this season currently with a 7-9 conference record. But they are still a tough out at home and this is a game they need in order to sure up their seed for the conference tournament next week. Davidson still has the best player on the floor in Jack Gibbs and something the Bonnies have not seen recently. St Bonaventure is 10-6 on the season in Atlantic 10 play but most of their wins have come against the bottom of the conference (St Joes 2, Saint Louis 2, & Duquesne 2). The Bonnies are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games played on Tuesday. The Wildcats are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games played on Tuesday.
02-27-17	West Virginia v. Baylor -2		62-71	Win	100	19 h 32 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #518 Take Baylor over West Virginia (7 pm ESPN U) Both teams have had disappointing conference records but Baylor is still a tough out at home. West Virginia is not anywhere as strong on the road and Baylor needs this win more. The Bears have lost three of their last four games but they still have great size and talent. West Virginia is 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog. Baylor is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less.
02-26-17	USC -3 v. Arizona State		82-83	Loss	-110	19 h 51 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #841 Take USC over Arizona State (6:30 pm PAC-12 Network) It is put up or shut up time for USC. They are currently a bubble team to the NCAA Tournament and they cannot afford a loss like this to finish out the regular season (3 games remain). USC gave Arizona a decent battle for 27 minutes but this is a much weaker team than is Arizona. The Sun Devils are coming off back-to-back blowouts including one against Washington State. USC does not have enough quality wins to avoid a bad loss here and expect them to win this game by 5-7 points. Arizona State is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games played on Sunday.
02-26-17	Wisconsin -3 v. Michigan State		74-84	Loss	-110	1 h 23 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #859 Take Wisconsin over Michigan State (4 pm CBS) This line tells me a great deal about this game. It opened as a pick but now has Wisconsin close to a field goal favorite. Michigan State is just not very good this season and will need an impressive run to even qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Wisconsin is back in the driver’s seat to win the Big 10 with a pair of home games following this game and they are tied with Purdue in the loss column. Sooner or late Wisconsin is going to break out of this slump and it might as well come today. Michigan State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-25-17	UCLA v. Arizona -1.5		77-72	Loss	-105	9 h 15 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #670 Take Arizona over UCLA (8:15 pm ESPN) All Arizona does is win! They have a chance to win the outright PAC-12 Championship with wins in their final two games and this should be their last test of the season. Arizona already won in Los Angeles this season and they play much better defense than do the Bruins. The Wildcats are 70-1 in their last 71 games in Tucson. UCLA is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Arizona is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less.
02-25-17	San Diego State v. Colorado State -1.5		55-56	Loss	-103	9 h 4 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #654 Take Colorado State over San Diego State (8 pm CBSSN) TOP COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAY OF THE DAY. Still not sure how the Rams are doing it with our 7 scholarship players but they are in position to win the conference Championship and they are always a tough out at home. San Diego State is overvalued due to years of dominating in the MWC but this year’s squad is just not very good. They have lost road games at Air Force, San Jose State, Boise State, and Nevada. The Rams already won in San Diego this year and will enter this game having won five in a row. Colorado State is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams that have a losing road record.
02-25-17	South Dakota v. IUPU-Indianapolis		92-85	Win	100	8 h 57 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #705 Take South Dakota over IUPUI (7 pm ESPN 3) The Coyotes look to close out Summit play with six straight wins. The already beat the Jaguars this season by 11 points. If they win today they will guarantee at least a share of the Summit regular season championship and they are just a better team than IUPUI. South Dakota is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games played on Saturday. IUPUI is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Saturday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-25-17	Nevada -6.5 v. UNLV	Top	94-58	Win	100	22 h 47 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #625 Take Nevada over UNLV (6 pm CBSSN) Always dangerous to lay points on the road in a rivalry game but the talent disparity is just too large. The Rebels have lost eight straight games and they cannot wait for this season to end and put the rest the worst season in their storied history. Nevada won the first meeting by 27 points and the Pack have to much to play for to let up in this game (regular season MWC title). Nevada has not played that well on the road in recent games against San Diego State and Utah State but those teams had playmakers and that is something UNLV lacks in a major way. Nevada is 33-16 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 51 games. UNLV is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. The spread should be double digits and we will take full advantage of a favorable number.
02-25-17	Purdue v. Michigan +1		70-82	Win	100	5 h 53 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #630 Take Michigan over Purdue (4 pm ESPN 2) Purdue is starting to feel the pressure of winning the Big 10 conference. They struggled to put away Penn State this week and now face a team that is still trying to improve their resume in Michigan. The Wolverines have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 home games. With two road games on deck, this is a game Michigan needs.
02-25-17	North Carolina v. Pittsburgh +9.5		85-67	Loss	-110	1 h 53 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #518 Take Pittsburgh over North Carolina (12 pm ACCN) I always like taking big underdogs in these early start games on Saturday and I just do not believe Pittsburgh will get blown out in this game. North Carolina has been on a roll of winning three straight games (all of them by double digits). Expect a more competitive game on Saturday as Pittsburgh has two very talented players. The Panthers lost by just 2 points in Chapel Hill earlier this season and I see this game being a 5-6 points victory for North Carolina. The Tar Heels are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record. Pittsburgh is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.
02-23-17	USC v. Arizona -8		77-90	Win	100	11 h 53 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #550 Take Arizona -8 over USC (10 pm PAC-12 Network) The Wildcats have been winning games all season long despite not covering very many spreads of late. Now we have great value with them against a very shaky USC team. Arizona won the first meeting by 7 points in Los Angeles and they know the importance of this game and will not be looking ahead to UCLA on Saturday. Despite their gaudy 21-6 record USC does not have many quality wins (UCLA at home) and they are not a lock to make the NCAA Tournament this season. They have lost two straight games and four of their six losses have come by double digits. USC is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-23-17	Wisconsin -5 v. Ohio State		73-83	Loss	-110	21 h 35 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #547 Take Wisconsin over Ohio State (9 pm ESPN) Wisconsin has not been playing well of late but they still have enough firepower to beat Ohio State. The Buckeyes are coming off a home loss to Nebraska and will enter this game having lost three straight games. Wisconsin needs to win this game to keep hopes of a Big 10 Championship alive since they trail Purdue by a ½ game in the standings. The Badgers won the first meeting by 23 points and I see them winning this game by 8-10 points. Ohio State will have some moments in this game but they just do not have the chemistry and discipline to beat Wisconsin. Bronson Koenig finally woke up in the second half Sunday against Maryland and when he is on this team is the best in the league. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
02-22-17	Boise State v. Nevada -4.5		77-85	Win	100	11 h 52 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #754 Take Nevada -5 over Boise State (10 pm ESPN 3) This is a play out game for these teams that both have hopes of winning the regular season MWC Championship. The loser will likely be out of the running and that will be Boise State. Nevada is not a good match-up for Boise State and already beat this team by 19 points in Boise last month. This game will be closer but Boise State just does not have enough offense to keep pace with Nevada in Reno. The Wolf Pack have lost just one home game this season and I expect them to win their remaining four games of the season all by double digits. Boise State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. Nevada is 20-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 28 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-22-17	Louisville v. North Carolina -5.5		63-74	Win	100	10 h 51 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #746 Take North Carolina -5.5 over Louisville (9 pm ESPN) North Carolina is just an unstoppable force at home and we will continue to use them with these low numbers. The Cardinals are playing a bit over their head and I do not believe they are as strong as their ranking would suggest. The ACC is an unbalanced schedule and that has benefited the Cardinals only having to play Duke, North Carolina, and Florida State once. North Carolina did not play well on offense on Saturday and still beat Virginia (a team that beat Louisville by 16) by 24 points. Louisville is 1-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games as a road underdog. North Carolina is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games.
02-22-17	Duke -3.5 v. Syracuse	Top	75-78	Loss	-110	19 h 23 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #723 Take Duke over Syracuse (7 pm ESPN) The Blue Devils are playing outstanding basketball at the moment having won 7 straight games. That includes wins over three ranked teams and they just have much more talent than does Syracuse. The Orange have cooled off of late having lost three straight games and Duke just has too many shooters for them to not be effective against a 2-3 zone. Coach K has won 4 of the 7 meetings against Syracuse and expect them to take care of business tonight at the Carrier Dome.
02-21-17	Northwestern v. Illinois +2	Top	50-66	Win	100	26 h 54 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #544 Take Illinois over Northwestern (8 pm BTN) The Illini are looking for the season sweep of Northwestern tonight in Champaign. Most believe Northwestern has done enough to earn their first NCAA Tournament bid in program history but they have been very shaky of late. The Wildcats have lost three of their last five games and we down late at home last time out to Rutgers. Illinois has talent but they will likely be making a coaching change in the next couple of weeks. That being said they have won two of their last three games and they will be up for this game since they can only play the role of spoiler at this point of the season. Illinois has a record of 133-40 against Northwestern including 67-14 in Champaign. Northwestern is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
02-21-17	Davidson v. Richmond +1.5		76-84	Win	100	9 h 4 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #538 Take Richmond +1.5 over Davidson (8 pm CBSSN) I still like the Spiders as a play especially when they are at home. The Spiders have a very easy schedule down the stretch and I could see them going 4-0 the rest of the regular season. Richmond has the T.J. Cline and I like him more than Jack Gibbs for the Wildcats. Richmond already won in Davidson and I expect them to complete the season sweep tonight at the Robbins Center. The Spiders are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
02-21-17	Northern Illinois v. Central Michigan -2.5		89-66	Loss	-108	8 h 5 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #514 Take Central Michigan -2.5 over Northern Illinois (7 pm ESPN 3) These are similar teams and I expect homecourt to make the difference tonight. I just cannot see the Chippewas losing three straight home games. This team can still score points at will and they have the best player on the court in Marcus Keene who is scoring over 30 points per game. The Huskies have lost four straight games and they have not really been competitive in all of them. Central Michigan has the revenge factor as well and I expect them to win this game by 8-10 points.
02-19-17	Michigan v. Minnesota OVER 139		78-83	Win	100	8 h 57 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #862 Take Over in Michigan @ Minnesota (7 pm BTN) The Gophers should be able to dictate a more up-tempo pace at the Barn. Minnesota is averaging 79 points per game over their last four games. Michigan is coming off a low scoring victory against Wisconsin on Thursday but they should find it easier to score against Minnesota today. Minnesota has gone over the posted total in 7 straight home games.
02-18-17	Virginia v. North Carolina -4.5	Top	41-65	Win	100	25 h 24 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #506 Take North Carolina over Virginia (12 pm ESPN) Just feel Virginia is still getting way too much respect for this year’s squad. They have trouble scoring points and that will be their undoing at North Carolina on Saturday night. The Tar Heels have not lost a game at home this season and have a variety of scorers on the floor at any time (including bench players). Virginia has lost three of their last four games and North Carolina is better than all three of those teams (Syracuse, Duke, & Virginia Tech). North Carolina is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games. These teams are trending in different directions and North Carolina has beaten Virginia the last two years in the conference tournament.
02-17-17	California -2.5 v. Stanford		68-73	Loss	-102	10 h 25 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #865 Take California over Stanford (10 pm FS1) Cal has the better team with the more experience coach with his team and thus they will win this bay area battle tonight in Stanford. The Golden Bears are in line for an NCAA Tournament Bid and cannot afford many bad losses like tonight would be. Cal won the first meeting by one point but I see them win this game by 5-7 points. Stanford is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. 71% of the money is coming in on Cal and it is for good reason. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-16-17	Northern Colorado v. Weber State OVER 145		63-69	Loss	-110	6 h 10 m	Show
5 Unit Play. #780 Take Over 145.5 in Northern Colorado @ Weber State (9 pm) The Bears are coming off a disappointing offensive performance last time out. Despite scoring only 44 points against Eastern Washington last Saturday they are still averaging over 70 points on the season and I expect them to hit that mark this evening. If they do that will put us in great shape to collect with the over since the Wildcats are a double-digit favorite. Weber State has scored in the seventies or higher in every game that they have played since December 7th. Weber State has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 11 games when they are the favorite. Northern Colorado has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games when they are an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-16-17	UAB v. Marshall -2.5		59-74	Win	100	4 h 10 m	Show
7 Unit Play. #716 Take Marshall -2.5 over UAB (7 pm CBSSN) Regardless of the outcome of this game, the Thundering Herd should be a 6.5 to 7-point favorite. Both of these teams do most of their damage at home and are a different team when playing on the road. Marshall has really had only one slip-up at home this year and that came in their last home game when UTEP beat them by 23 points. That loss was just an anomaly, as the Herd could not make a shot in that game and I do not look for that to happen again. That loss stung Marshall and it took a couple of games for them to get back on track but they did in their last two games nearly beating second place Louisiana Tech and defeating WKY (both road games).
02-16-17	Wisconsin +1 v. Michigan	Top	58-64	Loss	-110	24 h 58 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #710 Take Wisconsin over Michigan (7 pm ESPN) We have seen all season in college basketball that good teams tend to respond in a big way after a couple of lack-luster performances. The Badgers have not been playing well of late despite winning eight of their last nine games including three road games during this span. Michigan is a good match-up for them as they do not have a strong post game and do not play in your face defense that could frustrate the Badgers. Michigan has been up and down the entire season and they have not won three games in a row since before Christmas. If Michigan gets hot from the three-point line they can win this game but I do not believe that will happen. The Wolverines have not beaten the Badgers since 2014 and expect that trend hold true tonight. Michigan is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against teams with a winning road record.
02-15-17	Duke +5.5 v. Virginia		65-55	Win	100	26 h 50 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #569 Take Duke over Virginia (9 pm ESPN 2) Just feel these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Duke has won three straight regular season meetings and if they can stabilize this game early I feel Virginia will get tight and find a way to lose this game. Duke has won five straight games and Virginia is coming off a double overtime loss on Sunday night to Virginia Tech. Virginia is not as strong this year as they have been in past years and are still trading off their name and not the substance. They are still great on defense but Duke has many more playmakers on offense. Look for this game to go down to the wire with Duke winning this game straight-up.
02-15-17	Oklahoma State v. TCU -1		71-68	Loss	-110	26 h 48 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #568 Take TCU over Oklahoma State (9 pm ESPN U) The Frogs have righted the ship winning three of their last four games. They are on their way to receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and this is likely the last time they will be a favorite this season. The Pokes have been playing better basketball as well but they are not as effective on the road and TCU has thrived at home this season. Oklahoma State has failed to cover the spread in 4 straight games played on Wednesday. TCU has covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games played on Tuesday.
02-15-17	Illinois State -3.5 v. Missouri State		67-66	Loss	-110	26 h 47 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #571 Take Illinois State over Missouri State (9 pm ESPN 3) The Redbirds could receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Granted they got run over by Wichita State but that is their only blemish in MVC play. They only beat the Bears by 3 points in their first meeting and thus they will certainly not take this team lightly. Missouri State has lost three straight games and five of six overall. Illinois State is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. Missouri State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games. ISU is just a better all-around team and expect them to take care of business tonight in Springfield.
02-14-17	Richmond v. George Mason		70-93	Win	100	8 h 32 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #710 Take George Mason over Richmond (7 pm) The Patriots are just not a good match-up for the Spiders. They never trailed in the first meeting and expect more of the same tonight in the District. The Patriots have won three straight games and they have a chance to move up to the third seed in the conference tournament next March. The Spiders have struggled to beat the top teams on the road and look for that to continue Tuesday. Richmond is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games played on Tuesday. George Mason is 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games played on Tuesday. Both trends hold true tonight as the Patriots emerge victorious. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-14-17	St. Joe's v. VCU -16		81-91	Loss	-110	7 h 31 m	Show
5 Unit Play. #708 Take VCU -16.5 over Saint Josephs (6 pm CBSSN) The Hawks just do not have many bodies left after losing Lamarr Kimble and Shavar Newkirk, both of their leading scorers. They have lost 8 of their last 10 games and they might not win a single game the rest of the season. The Rams should be able to name their score in this game and they need to keep winning in order to stay atop the standing in the Atlantic 10. VCU has covered the spread 6 of their last 8 games when they are a favorite of 13 points or greater. This will be a twenty point game and expect the Rams to dominate for the full 40 minutes.
02-13-17	West Virginia v. Kansas -4.5		80-84	Loss	-105	10 h 59 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #540 Take Kansas over West Virginia (9 pm ESPN) Just do not believe West Virginia is as strong on the road compared to playing in Morgantown. Kansas is coming off back to back road wins and they lost at home for the first time in over 50 games. Expect them to win this game by double digits to get back on track at home. The Jayhawks are 4-0 against West Virginia in Lawrence and won two of the three meetings last year. West Virginia is 10-23 ATS in their last 33 games as a road underdog. Kanas is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games played on Monday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-12-17	Cal-Irvine v. Hawaii OVER 133		72-58	Loss	-105	11 h 17 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #690 Take Over 133 in Cal Irvine @ Hawaii (12:30 am) I expect one team to reach seventy points in scoring and that puts us in good shape to collect with the over. The Warriors have scored over 72 points in 4 straight games. 140 points was scored in the first meeting between these two teams and that is how I see this game going as well. Hawaii has gone over the posted total in 7 straight home games. Irvine has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 13 conference games.
02-11-17	California v. Arizona OVER 129.5		57-62	Loss	-110	9 h 7 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #656 Take Over 127.5 in California @ Arizona (10 pm ESPN 2) The Wildcats sit atop the PAC-12 and they look to complete the season sweep of the Golden Bears tonight in Tucson. Arizona is scoring 75 points per game and only one time since January 5th have they not scored at least 71 points. Cal has some offensive weapons that can score points one on one and that should help them in this game against a strong Arizona defense. Arizona has gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games against teams with a winning record. Head to Head meeting between these two teams have gone over the posted total in 22 of their last 31 games.
02-11-17	Florida State +2.5 v. Notre Dame	Top	72-84	Loss	-110	23 h 53 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #541 Take Florida State over Notre Dame (6 pm ESPN) Just feel that the wrong team is favored and the Seminoles are the more well rounded team. Notre Dame has been in a freefall losing four of their last five game and they were only competitive in one of those losses (Georgia Tech). The Irish won a lot of close conference games earlier this season but their luck in close games eventually caught up with them. The Seminoles are one of the best teams in the country and have righted the ship with three straight blowout winning by an average of 30 points per game. This team has an outstanding 14.2 point differential and should have no problem going into South Bend and winning this game. Florida State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win in their previous game. The Irish have only beaten one ranked team and I just do not see them wining this game. The wrong team is favored as the Seminoles continue to roll.
02-11-17	Fresno State v. Colorado State -2.5		62-78	Win	100	3 h 58 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #588 Take Colorado State -3 over Fresno State (4 pm ESPN 3) The Rams are just playing better basketball at the moment. They have won five of their last six games with their only loss coming on a buzzer beater against Boise State. They also have revenge on their minds after losing to Fresno State by 21 points earlier this season. The Bulldogs are lost three of their last four games and they are coming off a four-overtime loss at Wyoming on Wednesday. Just do not believe they will have much left in the tank after that game. Their last two road losses have been against Utah State and Wyoming and Colorado State is better than both of those teams. Fresno State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. Colorado State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
02-09-17	North Carolina v. Duke -2.5	Top	78-86	Win	100	25 h 33 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #742 Take Duke over North Carolina (8 pm ESPN) Just feel Duke needs this game more. The Blue Devils have great talent but have only played as a unit in spurts this season. With Coach K back over the weekend I expect this team to take off over the next couple of weeks and move up to a number two seed come March. Duke has won four of the last five match-ups with North Carolina and 11 of the last 15 going out even further. North Carolina has played a relatively easy conference schedule thus far, as they still have games against Virginia (2), Louisville, and Duke. The Blue Devils are the better shooting team from the arc and their freshman are starting to come along. Playing at Cameron is always tough and this is the first big game the home fans get to see this season (first ranked team to come to Durham). North Carolina is 9-24 ATS in their last 33 games as an underdog of 6.5 points or less. Duke is 15-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 22 home games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less. Both trends hold true tonight. I really believe Duke needs this game in order to reach the Final Four this season.
02-08-17	Stanford v. Arizona -12.5		67-74	Loss	-110	9 h 20 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #578 Take Arizona over Stanford (11 pm FS1) The Wildcats are coming off their worst loss of the season at Oregon last week. But the Ducks have a long homecourt winning streak and there is no shame is losing that game. Expect them to bounce back at home against Stanford tonight in Tucson. The Wildcats beat the Cardinal by 39 points in Palo Alto and I really would not be surprised if it is a similar result tonight. Stanford has lost three of their last four games and only one of their last six losses have come under double digits.
02-08-17	Missouri +14 v. Texas A&M		73-76	Win	100	7 h 54 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #553 Take Missouri over Texas A & M (8:30 pm SECN) Missouri is trash and one of the worst power 5 conference teams in the country. But Texas A & M lacks a point guard and they are not an offensive juggernaut by any means and I believe they will have trouble covering this big of a number. The Aggies have won just one conference game over tonight’s posted number and I see them winning this game by 9-11 points. Texas A & M is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.
02-08-17	IUPU-Indianapolis v. Nebraska-Omaha -5		89-78	Loss	-105	6 h 22 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #586 Take Nebraska Omaha over IUPUI (8 pm) The Mavericks are playing better basketball at the moment having won two straight games. The Jaguars have lost three of their last four games and have been blown out in their last two road games. Omaha already beat IUPUI on the road this season by 8 points and I see a 10-12 point victory by them this evening. The Jaguars have covered the spread just one time in their last five conference games. The Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 conference games. 71% of the money is coming in on the home team and I believe this line is 2-3 points off the mark of where it should be. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-08-17	Baylor v. Oklahoma State -2.5		72-69	Loss	-104	19 h 2 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #544 Take Oklahoma State over Baylor (7 pm ESPN U) It is not often you find a top 6 team in the country has an underdog against an unranked team but that is the situation that presents itself on Wednesday. The Pokes have won five straight games and are making some noise about an NCAA Tournament bid after a terrible start in conference play. They are coming off back-to-back road wins including at West Virginia and I see them continuing to dominate. Baylor has lost two straight games including a home game against Kansas State and I just do not believe this team is as good as their ranking suggests. Oklahoma State lost by just four points in Waco earlier this year and I see them winning this game by 5-7 points. Baylor is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Pokes have won and covered the spread in five straight games.
02-07-17	Utah State v. Colorado State -5		52-69	Win	100	10 h 45 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #750 Take Colorado State over Utah State (9 pm ROOT Sports) The MWC is always dangerous to try and handicap but this game is too good to pass up. Utah State has some good wins at home but playing on the road for a second straight game will catch up with them. They have lost five straight MWC road games and Colorado State already beaten them in Logan this year. The Rams still have a chance to win the regular season championship and are coming off a dominating road win at UNLV by 20 points. Utah State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. Colorado State is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-07-17	Vanderbilt v. Arkansas -4		72-59	Loss	-105	9 h 23 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #746 Take Arkansas over Vanderbilt (8:30 pm SECN) The Razorbacks have always been a much at home under Mike Anderson and that will hold true again tonight. Arkansas already beat Vanderbilt in Nashville and they are coming off a bad loss at Missouri. Arkansas has won three straight games at home and all of them have come by double digits. The Commodores are also coming off a bad loss at home to Ole Miss and I just do not believe they are good enough to win three straight conference road games. Vanderbilt is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as a road underdog of 6.5 or less points. Arkansas is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
02-07-17	Rhode Island v. Massachusetts +5.5		70-62	Loss	-110	8 h 48 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #728 Take Massachusetts over Rhode Island (7 pm CBSSN) The Rams have a bigger game on the docket for Friday and thus I do not see them blowing out the Minutemen on the road. UMASS has been on a four-game losing streak but they have been competitive in those games with only one double digit loss. They lost by just two points at Rhode Island and feel it will be another close game tonight. Rhode Island is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less. UMASS has covered 4 of their last 5 home games when they are an underdog.
02-06-17	East Tennessee State -3.5 v. Wofford		76-79	Loss	-110	19 h 57 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #535 Take East Tennessee State -4 over Wofford (7 pm ESPN 3) The Buccaneers need to keep winning games in order to stay atop the standing in the Southern Conference. They have won four straight games and have beaten Wofford during this winning streak by 7 points. That is how I see this game going as well as the Terriers are just not a top team in the league. ETSU is 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-04-17	Minnesota v. Illinois -1.5	Top	68-59	Loss	-110	22 h 45 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #592 Take Illinois over Minnesota (4 pm BTN) BIG 10 GAME OF THE YEAR. These are similar teams and playing at home will allow the Illini to emerge victorious. Both teams still have an outside chance of making the NCAA Tournament but need to protect home court in order to accomplish this. Minnesota has lost five straight games and this will be their fourth road game in their last six. Illinois has beaten Ohio State, Michigan, and Iowa in Champaign and Minnesota is very similar to those teams. Illinois has had great success against Minnesota with an all-time record of 122-65 including 71-18 when playing in Champaign. Illinois has also won three straight and Coach Croce has beaten Minnesota six of eight. Both coaches are on the Hot Seat but the Illini get up more for this game and expect them to win this game by 8-10 points. The Illini have the best player on the floor in Malcolm Hill and this is a game they need. Minnesota is 15-35 ATS (1 push) in their last 51 road games. Illinois has covered the spread in 6 of their last 8 home games.
02-02-17	Hawaii v. UC Riverside OVER 130.5		72-63	Win	100	12 h 37 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #766 Take Over in Hawaii @ UC Riverside (11 pm) I expect both teams to score at least 65 points allowing us to cash this ticket. These teams met just a week ago and it was a close six point game and I expect it to be close as well on Thursday with some fouling at the end of the game which will allow scoring to greatly increase. Hawaii has gone over the posted total in six straight games.
02-02-17	Marshall -9 v. Southern Miss		76-91	Loss	-102	20 h 41 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #741 Take Marshall over Southern Miss (8 pm) The Herd are coming off their worst performance of the season last time out getting run out of the gym by UTEP at home. They just could not make a shot especially from the three-point line and UTEP shot 58% from the field. That was just an anomaly and playing the worst team in the league should get them back on track. Marshall can score points at will and I just do not believe the Golden Eagles will be able to keep pace with them. This big of a spread on the road tells me these are not even close to comparable teams. Southern Miss lost by 44 points last time out to a so-so UAB team. Marshall is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with a losing record.
02-02-17	Florida Atlantic v. Charlotte -6.5		77-75	Loss	-110	8 h 49 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #714 Take Charlotte over FAU (7 pm) The Owls are one of the worst teams in Conference USA and Charlotte should win this game by double digits at home. The 49ers have won three of their last four games. The Owls have lost four of their last five games including their last two home games. This will be the second straight road game for them and I just do not see them being competitive in these games. Charlotte is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 home games as a favorite. 72% of the money is coming in on Charlotte and we certainly concur with that.
02-02-17	Michigan State +1 v. Nebraska		72-61	Win	100	8 h 48 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #723 Take Michigan State over Nebraska (7 pm ESPN) The Spartans need all the wins get at this points to make sure they keep their NCAA Tournament streak alive. Most of Nebraska’s game have gone down to the wire and this will be a close game as well. In the end I just expect Michigan State to dig deep and find a way to win it. The Spartans have won 4 of their last 7 games against Nebraska. Michigan State is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games played on Thursday. Nebraska is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.
02-01-17	Nevada -3.5 v. Utah State		57-74	Loss	-106	10 h 43 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #575 Take Nevada over Utah State (9 pm) Playing in Logan for much of this century has been a daunting task but that is no longer the case. This team has fallen off of a cliff since Stew Morrill retired and their current coach is already on the hot seat in year two. The Aggies have lost four of their last five games and now are set to face the best team in the league tonight. Nevada is far and away the best team in the league and they already have road wins at Boise State and New Mexico. They have won six of their last seven games and are the much better offensive team in this match-up. Nevada is 18-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 26 games as a favorite. Utah State is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record.
02-01-17	SE Missouri State +5.5 v. Jacksonville State		62-74	Loss	-104	9 h 35 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #591 SE Missouri State over Jacksonville State (8 pm) We will gladly grab the points in match-up tonight in the OVC. Both teams have similar overall and conference records. The Redhawks have won four straight games and I just do not see them getting blown out in this game. The Gamecocks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
02-01-17	Syracuse v. NC State		100-93	Loss	-105	8 h 41 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #548 Take NC State over Syracuse (7 pm ESPN 2) The Orange have shown some signs of life of late but most of their damage has come in the Carrier Dome not on the road. Three of their next four games are on the road and I believe they will lose their next four games (home game is against Virginia). Syracuse has yet to win a conference road this season. Syracuse has not covered a spread on the road in six straight games as well. NC State is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.
01-31-17	Georgetown v. DePaul +7.5		76-73	Win	100	10 h 55 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #758 Take DePaul over Georgetown (9 pm FS1) The Hoyas are just not good enough to be giving this many points on the road. The Blue Demons have won just one conference game this season but they have played a road heavy schedule thus far and I just do not see them getting blown out by Georgetown tonight in Rosemont. The Hoyas are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 conference games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
01-31-17	Central Michigan +7 v. Buffalo		91-101	Loss	-107	8 h 44 m	Show
6 Unit Play. #719 Take Central Michigan over Buffalo (7 pm) I like playing the Chippewas as an underdog as they usually go on a scoring run at some point to get back into most games. The Bulls are just not as strong of team as they have been in past years. Central Michigan has won three straight games and they are just playing better at the moment. Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Central Michigan has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games.
01-31-17	Ohio -1.5 v. Western Michigan		85-90	Loss	-105	7 h 33 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #713 Take Ohio over Western Michigan (6 pm) This line has come crashing down from its opening on Monday night but I do not see why. Homecourt means a lot but Ohio beat this same team by 31 points earlier this season and the Broncos have lost four straight games. Ohio is without Antonio Campbell but they have been playing without him of late and still winning some games. Saul Phillips is a Bo Ryan disciple and he knows the importance of winning the regular season title especially in the very competitive MAC. Western Michigan is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games played on Tuesday.
01-30-17	Duke v. Notre Dame	Top	84-74	Loss	-110	21 h 42 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #512 Take Notre Dame over Duke (7 pm ESPN) The Blue Devils continue to be way overvalued and we will fade them whenever we can on the road. Duke got a gift win on Saturday against Wake Forest but I just do not believe that will turn around their recent slump. This team has talent but they do not play as a cohesive unit and that will be their downfall on Monday in South Bend. The Irish need a win in the worst way after a recent two game slump but returning home should benefit them greatly. Duke just does not have the same magic without Coach K and they will struggle to do any damage the rest of the season. Duke is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 conference games. Notre Dame is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday.
01-29-17	Michigan v. Michigan State -2.5		62-70	Win	100	13 h 54 m	Show
4 Unit Play. #852 Take Michigan State over Michigan (1 pm CBS) We have seen how much homecourt means in the Big 10 and the Spartans are desperate for a win today against their in-state rival. Michigan State has lost three straight games and might not make the NCAA Tournament unless they can put together a winning record in Big 10 play. Michigan has been playing better of late but they are taking a step up in competition today at a place they have not had much success in recent years. The Spartans won the only meeting last year between these teams by 16 points in Ann Arbor. Michigan is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a winning record. Michigan State has covered the spread 4 straight games as a home favorite.
01-28-17	Colorado State v. San Diego State -8	Top	78-77	Loss	-110	22 h 0 m	Show
10 Unit Play. #606 Take San Diego State Aztecs over Colorado State Rams (6 pm CBSSN) The Aztecs are just a different team at home and I look for them to win their third straight home game. San Diego State is coming off an embarrassing lost at Air Force and I expect them to take out their frustrations on the Rams Saturday afternoon. The Rams last two losses have been blowouts and I believe San Diego State is a better team that New Mexico and Fresno State. The Aztecs have won four straight in the series and nine of the last 11 get-togethers. San Diego State is 14-4 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 20 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
