Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NBA | Jan 22, 2021 Knicks vs Kings |
OVER 218½ -105 |
Lost $105.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
The Knicks have a lousy offense and a good defense, but this Kings team is playing some pee wee ball defense, allowing 123 points a game, and even a team like the Knicks will be able to put up a decent amount of points against them. If New York comes anywhere close to the season average the Kings give up then this one will go over easily. This one should have a decent pace and we don’t see the Kings holding the Knicks offense back. This one should go over 220 easy. |

NBA | Jan 22, 2021 Hawks vs Wolves |
Hawks -6 +102 at pinnacle |
Won $102 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Atlanta was hot to start the season but then came back down to Earth a bit but now they have an easier part of their schedule and they are heating up again with two straight wins. They covered in both games. One of those wins was against this same Minnesota team, one of the worst squads in the NBA this season. Revenge won’t be a factor because the teams played a game since that matchup already, and everyone is beating the Wolves these days, so they aren’t focusing on one loss. |

NBA | Jan 22, 2021 Nets vs Cavs |
Nets -7 -110 at all |
Lost $110.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Cleveland played probably their game of the season last time out in an OT win against Brooklyn. They are probably satisfied with that result, and we just don’t see them putting in the same effort. They are not as deep as the Nets, and that will hurt them in this game after playing all the extra minutes Wednesday. Brooklyn will be very motivated here, and we think this could be a double-digit blowout. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NCAA-B | Jan 22, 2021 Michigan vs Purdue |
Purdue +5 -115 at all |
Lost $115.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
4 Unit Play. Take #844 Purdue over Michigan (7p.m., Friday, January 22 FS1) Purdue has been playing outstanding basketball of late having won 4 straight games with 3 of those wins being against likely NCAA tournament teams come March. They are now ready for some home cooking, as Purdue traditionally plays much better at home compared to on the road. Michigan currently sits atop the standing in the Big 10, but they got run over in their last road game against Minnesota, losing by 18 points. The underdog is 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 meetings. Purdue is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NHL | Jan 22, 2021 Oilers vs Maple Leafs |
Maple Leafs -143 at linepros |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
5-Unit Play. No. 20. Take Toronto over Edmonton (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Leafs, they lost a low-scoring game against the Oilers two nights ago but were undone by some unlucky bounces. They played well for the majority of the game and with the rematch coming so soon, we'll take the Leafs to get the job done on home ice. Remember, we all expected a high-scoring meeting and we got a total of four goals. Look for the teams to open up a bit here tonight and for the Leafs to take advantage of some shoddy Oilers goaltending. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NHL | Jan 22, 2021 Red Wings vs Blackhawks |
Blackhawks -125 at linepros |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
5-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Chicago over Detroit (Friday at 8pm) As per your selection on Chicago, sooner or later they are going to have to win a game and we see this as the perfect spot. The Wings don't have any firepower upfront that will trouble the Blackhawks and maybe the Blackhawks can allow fewer than five goals for the first time this season (pathetic I know). The Wings are going to be a bottom feeder team this year despite their early 2-2 record. it's important to note that those four games came at home and this will be their first road game of the season. Give me Chicago at this price. |

NBA | Jan 23, 2021 Nuggets vs Suns |
Suns +3 -110 at linepros |
|
Play Type: Premium | ||
These teams played last night and the Nuggets won in overtime. We see this one going the other way as it’s hard to beat a team twice in the same building in consecutive nights. The Suns have been one of the best ATS teams since the restart of last NBA season, and we think they find a way to get the job done tonight. We think both teams will be fatigued in this one and they will also make defensive adjustments, so we expect a much more low scoring game than last night. |

NBA | Jan 23, 2021 Warriors vs Jazz |
Jazz -7 -110 at Draft Kings |
|
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
Utah is playing the best basketball in the NBA right now, and it’s not even close for second. They have won and covered in seven straight, and this team looks like it is playing with a chip on its shoulder. That chip should still be there tonight after they were embarrassed on live TV Thursday by the TNT crew. Utah always seems to have the Warriors’ number as they have covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. Golden State is better this year, but they are inconsistent, and they were spanked by the Knicks last time out so they are not in great form. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NHL | Jan 23, 2021 Senators vs Jets |
Jets -135 at Mirage |
|
Play Type: Premium | ||
6-Unit Play. No. 42. Take Winnipeg -135 over Ottawa (Saturday at 10pm). As per your selection on Winnipeg, we just cashed a ticket with them the other night as they beat the Sens 4-1. We see a very similar result in tonight's game as Winnipeg is the better of the two teams by far and has more offensive firepower to overwhelm the Senators with. We are getting Hellebuyck in net for the Jets tonight and that instantly gives them the advantage at the backend. The Sens have lost three straight games and we don't see a trip to Winnipeg getting them in the win column. The Sens are a brutal 11-40 in their last 51 as a road underdog while the Jets are 7-0 in their last 7 as a favorite. |

NCAA-B | Jan 23, 2021 Virginia Tech vs Syracuse |
Syracuse -1 -110 at Mirage |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
4 Unit Play. Take #608 Syracuse over Virginia Tech (12p.m., Saturday, January 23 ACCNX) Here we have an unranked team that is favored over a ranked team and that is usually a sign for a strong play. The Orange are coming off their best performance of the season this week against Miami and look for another win today at the Carrier Dome. Virginia Tech is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NCAA-B | Jan 23, 2021 Florida vs Georgia |
Georgia +4 -105 at pinnacle |
Lost $105.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
7 Unit Play. Take #644 Georgia over Florida (2p.m., Saturday, January 23 ESPN2) Top College Basketball Play of the Day. Florida played their best game of the season against Tennessee this week and I just do not believe they can play that well again on the road. Georgia is coming off two straight conference wins and they have righted the ship after a tough start to SEC play. Florida is still banged up and they are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games played on Saturday. Georgia is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NCAA-B | Jan 23, 2021 Ohio State vs Wisconsin |
Wisconsin -4½ -110 at Mirage |
Lost $110.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
5 Unit Play. Take #684 Wisconsin over Ohio State (4p.m., Saturday, January 23 CBS) Ohio State has been overachieving of late and their momentum will run out today in Madison. The Buckeyes are coming off a tough loss to Purdue in Columbus last time out and this will be most experienced and talented team they have faced this season. The Badgers have won two straight games (2-0 ATS) and they will likely finish in the top 2 of the conference because of their consistency and favorable schedule coming up. The favorite is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 games between Ohio State and Wisconsin. |
SERVICE BIO |
---|
Doc's Sports Service has been in the sports handicapping business since 1971, and we are recognized as one of the leaders and most trusted names in the industry. Most handicapping services are one-man operations, but here at Doc’s Sports we are among the most progressive thinkers in the industry, and we have assembled some of the finest experts in the country for our service. We are one of the few handicapping companies that have withstood the test of time because of hard work, honesty and consistently of providing winners to our valued clients. Since 1971 Doc’s Sports became famous for our college football Big Ten Game of the Year that won and covered the point spread 19 years in a row. Doc’s Sports is one of the only handicapping services whose powerful influence has historically moved the official Las Vegas line more than seven points. At Doc’s Sports we often focus on lesser-known teams and less-popular games as oftentimes less information is available on those teams and games and certain trends tend to stick out and offer value that the average person may not catch. Oddsmakers set lines to balance the action, so in reality we're often handicapping against the general public perception, and the general public rarely ever wins long term. When you think of it that way our job is really not that difficult since we have more than four decades of experience and know what to look for when handicapping a game. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers have to handicap and set lines for every game -- we simply find a few of their mistakes. Doc’s Sports uses a combination of technical and fundamental handicapping along with exclusive information that we gather from a vast network of contacts that we have developed over the past 40+ years. At Doc’s Sports we built our name in the 1970s by becoming one of the best in handicapping college sports. That still holds true today as our best results still come from college football and college basketball. We also have individual full-time handicappers for NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, CFL and major horse races, and we feel we have some of the top experts in the country in these designated fields. We are always in search of the best talent for our team, and what surprises most people is that some of our best information comes from our own clients. These are trusted clients that have been not only customers but have turned into friends of ours over the years, and they are able to pick up on key information in their areas. We love the feeling of being able to help people make money when facing challenging odds. Good money can be made if one has the connections, and here at Doc's Sports we pride ourselves on uncovering the edge that gives the clients the ability to beat the books on a consistent basis. |
