Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #335 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, January 4 CBS) Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs and thus the experts are expecting them to rest a lot of players in this game. Minnesota is still very weak at the quarterback position, and I am not sure this is a good spot for them laying this many points against a divisional opponent. Does Green Bay really want to enter the playoffs getting blown out in this game making it 4 straight losses? I think they will play some key players and be able to take this game down to the wire. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend Football Card featuring top plays in NFL, College Football, NBA, and NHL. Sign-up now and let 54 years of handicapping experience work for you.

Rice vs Texas State 1:00 ET
Owls/Bobcats - Another 5-7 team in a bowl game the Rice Owls, but at least they have a win over a bowl team be it Connecticut.

Ricky's 1* play on SEA.
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.
- The Canucks are 0-4 in their last 4 games.
- The Kraken are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The Kraken is 4-2 in its last 6 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division
Verdict: The value is on the road underdog.
