Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #386 Under in Nevada Wolf Pack @ Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (7p.m., Saturday, September 20 ESPN+) We went against Nevada last week for a free pick winner, as Middle Tennessee State +9 beat them straight-up. We will go back to well again on September 20 with a Nevada game, but this time take the under. Nevada has major issues at quarterback, and they have trouble scoring points this season. In their first three games they have scored 11, 17, and 13 points. WKU is a higher scoring team, but I expect Nevada to dictate the pace of this game and keep the scoring low. Take the under in this game. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in Football, WNBA, and NASCAR. Sign-up now and let 54 years of handicapping experience work for you.

PSP Data Driven 1* Guardians RL.
At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.
Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. The Guardians are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Tanner Bibee has won 2 of his last 2 starts for the Guardians.

Saturday CFB Free play. My selection is on Notre Dame minus the points over Purdue at 3:30 pm et on Saturday.
Notre Dame’s season hasn’t opened the way anyone in South Bend envisioned, with back-to-back defeats including last week’s stunning upset at the hands of Texas A&M. That loss has the Irish in desperation mode as they try to salvage their College Football Playoff hopes, and I expect them to respond with urgency. Despite the 0-2 start, Notre Dame still has the talent edge in virtually every area, and staying home for a second straight week gives them an opportunity to reset and regain momentum.
Purdue has the look of a team that’s been playing over its head. The Boilermakers did well to cover against USC last week, but the underlying numbers were concerning: a paltry 50 rushing yards and three turnovers isn’t a recipe for long-term success. Their two earlier wins came against far lesser opponents, and this trip to South Bend represents a major step up in class. With Notre Dame’s back against the wall, I see this as a clear “wrong place, wrong time” situation for the Boilers.
Take Notre Dame minus the points.

1* NCAAF - Auburn/Oklahoma FREE PICK on Auburn +6.5
Mike Lundin
MLB Free Pick
The Angle: Seattle saw a 10-game winning streak come to and end yesterday, and that could mark the start of a slide.
The Royals have scored 22 runs across their last three games and they scored five runs off Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo in an 8-4 win last time they saw him. KC righty Stephen Kolek is coming in hot with a 2.59 ERA in his last five starts. Admittedly, his last start against Seattle was not pretty, but he's improved a lot since that May outing.
2% FREE PICK ON THE ROYALS.

Matt Fargo
This is a play on the MIAMI DOLPHINS/BUFFALO BILLS UNDER for our Thursday Free Play. The over will be the public bet tonight based off the fact that the Buffalo offense continues to hum along and it is a standalone primetime game. While the Bills offense should thrive again, the defense showed up last week against the Jets, allowing just 154 total yards. Buffalo has won six straight meetings in this series including four at home with all four of those games going over the total, another reason we are on the under as we are on the contrarian side. Miami has averaged 26.8 ppg in the four meetings in Buffalo and the Dolphins will not come close to that here. The Bills defense was bad in their season opener against Baltimore and will be out to shore that up in the second game in front of the home crowd. Head coach Mike McDaniel looks like he has lost this team only two games in and that is bad news heading to Buffalo where the Dolphins have not won since 2016. Miami is 7-0 to the under following a divisional loss under McDaniel. Also, both teams fall into a solid system as we play the under when the total is 49.5 or higher in conference games playing with four or fewer days of rest. This situation is 44-20 (68.8 percent) to the under since 1983. Play Under (301) Miami Dolphins/(302) Buffalo Bills

Ricky Tran
Ricky's 1* play on NYY.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.
- NY Yankees is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games.
- Baltimore is 4-10 SU in its last 14 games against an opponent in the American League.
- NY Yankees is 15-4 SU in its last 19 games on the road.
Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

Buffalo -11.5
The Bills are worth a free move on Thursday, and NO, this isn't too many points to cover. Buffalo takes on Miami and this is just a compete mismatch every which way you look at it. Miami is 0-2 and they’ve given up 66 points combined over the first two games of the year. That won’t bode well against a red hot Buffalo team that has seen Allen and company put up 71 points so far. Buffalo will dictate this game from the start. Bad Buffalo. My daily free plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Remember folks, money management is the key to profits when it comes to sports gambling. Strong lean on the BILLS -11.5 tonight. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Im betting the Buffalo Bills take care of business here and get out to an early lead and then just coast to victory which will help this combined score stay on the low side of the offered total.
NFL team where the total is greater than or equal to 49.5 - in conference games, off a home loss like Miami is are 23-4 under since the 2021 season with a combined average of 45.2 ppg going on the board.
The L/ 32 TNF games since 2012 with a total of 50 or more , have gone 22-10 UNDER for 70% conversion rate for bettors.
