4-Unit Play. Take #955 Washington (-1.5, -145) over Miami (6:10 p.m. Saturday, September 21)

Washington is leading the National League Wild card race but by the slimmest of margins and can't afford any losses. Fortunately for them they have dominated the Marlins in the season series taking 14 of the 17 contests including winning the last ten in a row. Stephen Strasburg has been sensational against Miami this season winning all four times he has pitched against them and not allowing a run in three of those starts while going at least 7 innings in all of them. Jordan Yamamoto has been a disaster the second half of the season allowing 4 earned runs or more in six of his last seven starts and his ERA at home is 6.23 over 7 starts. I like the Nationals in this one.

10-Unit Play. #685. Take Winnipeg over Montreal (Saturday at 4:00 pm) As per your selection on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, we have to like the fact that they come into this game well-rested as they had their bye week. Not to mention, they get Andrew Harris back in the lineup and get to take on a Montreal team that gave up well over 100 yards on the ground last week to Saskatchewan. You could also argue the fact that this game means much more to Winnipeg than it does Montreal as the Bombers are clinging to a one-game lead for the top spot in the West while the Als are likely headed to the postseason (barring any crazy collapse) as a very low seed. It should be noted that the Bombers are en excellent play in September as they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 played in September, while they are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 following a bye week and 13-3-1 ATS following an ATS win. The Als are just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 September games and 11-23 ATS in their last 34 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 meetings when hosting Winnipeg. Winnipeg is far and away the better team and as they are the fresher team, we believe their talent will win out in this spot and help them cruise to an easy win.

10 Unit Play. Take #379 SMU Mustangs over TCU Horned Frogs (3:30 p.m., Saturday, September 21 FS1) The Frogs are coming off a dominating performance last week against Purdue, but they will not have the good fortune of playing a back-up quarterback in this game. SMU can put up points this year, and TCU will have trouble keeping up with them. SMU needs to contain the running game of TCU and force them to beat them through the air. The road team has covered 5 straight games in this matchup. TCU is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #351 Colorado Buffaloes over Arizona State Sun Devils (10p.m., Saturday, September 21 PAC-12N) The Sun Devils are on cloud 9 now off a victory against Michigan State last Saturday. That being said they are not a strong team that can be laying this many points in conference games. Arizona State scored just 10 points in that victory and that will not consistently win games against decent competition. The Sun Devils beat the Spartans last year as well and then went on to lose two straight games. Colorado has played a tough schedule this far with all three games coming against rivals (Colorado State, Air Force, & Nebraska). They are 2-1 thus far with the lone loss coming against Air Force, a team that is tough to prepare for. They are determined to make a bowl game this year and they must show they can be competitive in these types of games and be able to take it down to the wire. Colorado beat Arizona State last year by 7 points. Arizona State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

3 Unit Play. Take #344 Wisconsin over Michigan (12p.m., Saturday, September 21 FOX) Jim Harbaugh just has not proven he can consistently win big game in the conference, especially on the road. Wisconsin is back after getting rid of their quarterback from last year that seemed to be a cancer for the entire team. Wisconsin has revenge on their minds after a bad showing in Ann Arbor last year but they are much different team when playing at home. 68% of the money is coming in on Wisconsin and the line is also moving in that direction as well. Wisconsin is 9-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 12 games against Michigan. The Wolverines have not covered a spread in their last 6 games.

3 Unit Play. Take #323 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Illinois Fighting Illini (8p.m., Saturday, September 21 BTN) Illinois is bottom feeder program in the Big 10 and Lovie Smith was a bad hire for a college coaching job. The bubble has burst after an impressive opening game against Akron. They barely beat UCONN and lost at home to Eastern Michigan. Nebraska is coming off their most impressive performance on the season and I feel this team will make some noise in the Big Ten West all season long. Illinois is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. Nebraska is 6-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 Big 10 games.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #374 Kansas Jayhawks over West Virginia Mountaineers (4:30p.m., Saturday, September 21 ESPN+) The wrong team is favored in this game and the Les Miles magic will continue for another week. The Jayhawks are coming off their first road win against a Power 5 team in forever and expect them to follow that up with another winnable home game against the Mountaineers. West Virginia is 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 road games. The Underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend Football Card highlighted by top play on Saturday.

2-Unit Play. Take #906 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over San Francisco (1:20 p.m. Sunday, September 22) This is the last home game for the Braves during the regular season and I think they want to put on a good show for their home crowd. Dallas Keuchel has been very good, like usual when he has pitched at home, going 4-2 with a 2.72 ERA which is two runs lower than his ERA on the road. Keuchel lost his last start but he had allowed just 4 earned runs over his 6 previous starts, all Braves wins, and I think he will come through for his team today. It has been a struggle for San Francisco starter Logan Webb allowing 14 earned runs over his last 3 starts (12.1 innings), and I don't think he is going to be able to keep the Braves lineup off balance. I like the Braves to keep putting pressure on the Dodgers for the best record in the National League and get the win.

10 Unit Play. Take Detroit Lions over Philadelphia Eagles (1 p.m., Sunday, September 21 FOX) The Eagles are reeling now with a ton of injuries and did not have enough healthy bodies to practice on Wednesday. The Eagles have yet to look impressive this year, and now they face another solid quarterback that should be able to move the football on them. Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Philadelphia. The Eagles are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take the points in this game as it will go down to the wire and be decided by a field goal.

3 Unit Play. Take #480 Arizona Cardinals over Carolina Panthers (4:05p.m., Sunday, September 21 FOX) The Panthers are not very good, and they should not be favored by anyone on the road. QB Kyler Murray has held his own through two games this season and expect him to be able to move the football and put up points in this game as well. Carolina is 2-8 in their last 10 games overall and Cam Newton just does not look right. Arizona is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against NFC teams. Take the points in this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #470 Indianapolis Colts over Atlanta Falcons (1p.m., Sunday, September 21 CBS) This is the first home game for the Colts this season. Indianapolis is 1-1 and could have won both of their first two games in they did not have kicking issues. Atlanta has failed to cover the spread in 10 straight games against AFC teams. Atlanta is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The favorite has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings between Atlanta and Indianapolis. QB Brissett threw 3 touchdowns last week and expect another solid performance from him today.
