DOC’S SPORTS NHL is up more than +4,700 on the season, and this is following a 2024-25 season that saw them earn +7,200, one of the best seasons for a hockey handicapper in the nation. They are on a 10-3 run for picks rated 5-Units or higher, and they will be back Thursday with a 7-Unit play you don’t want to miss.

 

ROBERT FERRINGO nailed another football top play, scoring a 7-Unit win with Philadelphia as part of a winning Sunday. Robert will be back with another 7-Unit NFL Play this weekend and he is excited to dive into bowl season. Robert has been good for 7 of 10 winning football years and is looking for a monster close to the season. Robert is also on a fantastic 37-18 (68%), +7,880 with his last 55 daily prop plays and an outstanding 12-4 (75%), +5,840 on his daily props rated 7.0+. He will have another 7-Unit Daily Prop Play this weekend you don’t want to miss. Next, Robert went 5-1 with his college hoops service on Tuesday and has churned out five of six winning days. Robert has hit three straight plays rated 5.0+ and will have a 7-Unit College Basketball Play Saturday. Robert is 54-25 (69%) on his last 79 college hoops plays rated 5.0+ and is coming off one of the best seasons in Doc’s Sports history, banking +13,930 for his clients. He’s notched an extraordinary +21,520 over the past two years (documented HERE), posted 14 of 19 winning college hoops seasons and 56 of 82 winning college basketball months, and has another strong weekend planned. Robert is also on a +11,000 hockey rush dating back to last season and will have another 7-Unit NHL Play Thursday. Add in a 7-Unit NBA Play – he is 67-40, +14,290 on his last 107 NBA plays rated 5.0+ - and Robert has a monster weekend planned.

 

STRIKE POINT SPORTS is in the midst of an astounding NBA run. They nailed another 7-Unit winner on Monday and are now 13-1 (93%), +6,270 with their last 14 pro basketball predictions. SPS has hit SIX straight winners overall and SIX straight plays rated 5.0+ (+4,200) and they will have a 7-Unit NBA Play Thursday. Strike Point Sports went on a +6,735 NBA run last season and are up over +4,800 this season and you can get on board now. SPS is also set for a breakout with their football service. They are 7-2 on their last nine 7-Unit football plays. “Mr. Saturday” is 23-13 (64%) with their last 36 college football picks and is hot heading into bowl season. SPS is also 27-18 (61%), +4,470 on their last 45 football plays rated 5.0+. They will have another strong card this weekend, led by a 7-Unit College Basketball Play. SPS was one of the top hockey earners in the country (+6,615) last season and they have will have a 7-Unit College Basketball Play Saturday as they continue their all-sports assault.

 

NICK MENKEN has been on an absolute tear, stacking +9,135 in profit over his last 63 plays rated 5.0+ across multiple sports. Menken is crushing the NBA, already up +4,260, and he is sitting at 8-3 for +3,290 with his plays rated 5.0+. On the ice, his top-rated NHL selections are also off to a strong start, producing +2,555 this season. Menken is also heating up in college basketball, starting 3-1 for +1,330 on plays rated 7.0. Menken is riding a multi-sport surge fueled by disciplined analysis, sharp line reads, and repeatable, long-term winning edges. This is the type of run you simply can’t afford to miss.

 

RAPHAEL ESPARZA has been on a tear in college basketball, going +2,450 the last three weeks, and will have a 7-Unit College Basketball Play Saturday night. Last Saturday he hit his 6-Unit College Basketball play with ease, and we see him striking again on the college court. Esparza will also have a 6-Unit NFL Play in Week 16 while looking for three out four winning football weekends. College football bowl games have started and Esparza will have 30+ bowl picks, including his one and only 8-Unit College Bowl Game of the Year!

Soccer Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take ‘Under’ 2.5 Newcastle at Chelsea (7:30 a.m., Saturday Dec 20)

We were on the Chelsea UNDER last week for our free pick and despite a 2-0 halftime lead for Chelsea vs Everton, there were no goals in the second half and we cashed that ticket. We will strike again here as we think there is nice value getting the under at plus-money. Five of the last seven meetings, including the last two, where Newcastle was the home side have gone under 2.5. Chelsea have scored only a single goal in their last two EPL road tilts, including laying a goose egg last road match at Bournemouth. Despite notching two goals at home last week vs. Everton, something just seems off with this team recently and we don’t see them getting more than a goal here and another shut out is certainly a possibility. They have one goal total in the last four visits to Newcastle. Newcastle was shut out vs. Sunderland last time out, so suddenly they have lost offensive form as well. We think this will be a low scoring match and expect to cash this plus-money ticket. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

College Basketball Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take Georgia Tech (-15) over Lafayette (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 20)

We have racked up 84 of 135 wins in this space (63%) and I am 129-80 (62%) with my newsletter plays over the last 209 weeks. As for this play, I think the Jackets are going to roll. I think that this team is better than it has played. Injuries, transfers and freshmen combined to weigh them down during a slow start. But there is a gulf in talent between these two teams. Tech is off an easy 11-point win over Marist, and that game was played without two starters who may be back for this one. Even without them, Georgia Tech should have more than enough firepower to blow past Lafayette. The Leopards have gotten bombed by bad teams like Cornell (by 19), LeMoyne (by 13) and Monmouth (by 14). In fact, looking back over the last three seasons under Mike McGarvey this Lafayette team has gotten repeatedly blown out on the road in nonconference play. They have 17 road losses over the last three seasons by an average of 15.1 points per game, which puts us right around this number. I think the Jackets will beat this one and roll to a win by 18-20 points. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

College Football Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take ‘Over’ 58.5 Montana at Montana State (4 p.m., Saturday Dec. 20)

The FCS Playoffs continue this weekend and what a matchup we have late Saturday afternoon. Montana will be looking for redemption on Saturday as the Grizzlies only loss this year was against Montana St. Since that loss the Grizzlies won back-to-back games scoring over 50 plus points and I see touchdowns coming at will on Saturday. In Montana’s last 4 games, all 4 of them have hit the total number and Montana St last game they beat Stephen F. Austin 44-28.

NFL Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take Philadelphia (-6.5) over Washington (5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 20)

We have an NFC East showdown on Saturday as the Philadelphia Eagles head to Washington, D.C. to take on the Commanders. Washington snapped a seven-game losing streak last week with a 29-21 road win over the Giants, but now they face a much different challenge with the division-leading Eagles coming to town. Philadelphia used last week as a get-right spot, dismantling the Raiders 31-0 and reminding everyone why they sit atop the NFC East at 9-5 on the season. With another win here, the Eagles can all but lock up the division. While Washington showed some fight last week, this defense continues to be a major liability, allowing nearly 400 yards per game, and that’s a dangerous problem against a Philly offense finding its rhythm again. This sets up as another statement spot for the Eagles, who should be able to control the tempo and move the ball at will. Expect Jalen Hurts and this offense to put pressure on Washington early and never let up. Lay the points with the Eagles on the road Saturday and look for Philadelphia to handle business in this divisional matchup.

NFL Prediction From Strike Point Sports:

Take #116 Carolina (+3) over Tampa Bay (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21)

I do really like the fact that Mike Evans is back for Tampa Bay, but the Bucs just look off. Baker Mayfield hasn't looked himself for a while now (yes, his wide receiver room has been a mess), but this offense just doesn't have that punch that it had earlier on in the season. This is essentially a battle for the NFC South, and I am all about the points here. Carolina is 8-6 ATS this season while Tampa is just 5-9. The Panthers are also 4-2 ATS at home this year while the Bucs are just 2-5 ATS as a favorite. I love the points here but would also consider the Panthers on the money line.

Daily Prop Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take SEC (+245) To Win College Football National Championship

The Big 10 of course is the betting favorite around -200 but how could you pass up the SEC, who has five teams to the party? Wouldn't shock me to see Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and A&M to advance next week so that still gives us four SEC teams in and again we are getting +265. In my eyes Ohio State and Texas Tech and the two biggest threats and in the semifinals could be great games for us to even hedge on our +265 SEC ticket. When it comes to College Football playoff games anything can happen but when you have 5 out 12 teams on your side and getting this price I will roll with the SEC and for me that hurts to type.
