HANDICAPPER’S HOT STREAKS AND NEWS:

 

DOC’S SPORTS is riding the momentum of a huge football weekend, cashing 5 of 6 selections—including Saturday’s 6-Unit winner on Air Force. We’re profitable on the season and ready to build on that success this weekend. Saturday brings our first college football 7-Unit Play of the season. Our college football top plays are a perfect 3-0 so far, and we’re looking to keep that streak rolling. Get on board with a veteran handicapper backed by 55 years of experience! Click here for our football picks package information including a new $49 package or call us direct at (866) 238-6696 for complete details.

 

ROBERT FERRINGO had another dominating college football Saturday, banking +1,770 while hitting 7-Unit (NDSU), 6-Unit (Arizona) and 5-Unit (Purdue) winners. Robert has beaten the books for six of nine winning overall football weeks and will be back with a 7-Unit College Football Play Saturday. Robert is 24-13 (65%), +6,540 with his last 37 college plays rated 4.0+ and will have another solid card this weekend. Robert hit another easy 6-Unit Daily Prop Play Monday (Kamara Receiving ‘Over’) on the second series of the game and he continues to dominate that market. He is 24-12 (67%), +8,970 with his last 36 football props rated 5.0+ and is on a +10,700 overall prop run. Robert has beaten the books for FOUR straight winning hockey seasons. And dating back to January of 2025 he has nearly doubled his clients’ bankrolls while taking home nearly +10,000 (documented HERE). Also, the NBA season is right around the corner and Robert is as good as it gets. He has posted 9 of 12 winning NBA years and closed out last season on a +3,645 run. He is an amazing 89-57, +17,830 on his last 146 NBA plays rated 5.0+ and is gearing up for his best pro hoops season yet.

 

STRIKE POINT SPORTS posted another winning college football week, going 2-1 on his favorite day of the week. “Mr. Saturday” has now tallied four of five winning college football weeks and is 39-21 (65%) with their last 60 college football predictions. SPS has gone 18-9, +2,170 with their last 27 football plays overall and they are 74-51, +6,690 with their service dating back to last October. “Mr. Saturday” will be back with a 7-Unit College Football Play this week and has gone 37-23 (61%), +6,350 on his last 60 football plays rated 5.0+. They’ve banged out three of four winning NFL weeks as well and are a proven long-term winner. SPS has produced 9 of 12 winning NFL season and have racked up 8 of 12 winning years for nearly +22,000 in profit, consistently finishing among our top football producers. Strike Point Sports has been good for two of three winning hockey years and they will have a 6-Unit NHL Play on Friday. SPS is also putting the wraps on a winning WNBA season and will have a top soccer play this weekend as well. Put them to work for you today!

 

NICK MENKEN is coming out firing on both gridirons this season, and the results are impossible to ignore. In the CFL, Menken is currently riding an 11-1 run for +3,830 in profit, including last week’s 8-Unit Game of the Year winner with Calgary (+5.5). The Stampeders didn’t just cover, they won outright, 37-31, delivering another massive result for Menken’s followers (Click Here). Meanwhile, Menken is also heating up on the college football side, going 4-1 with his plays rated 5.0+ for +1,630 in profit. Now he’s ready to turn up the pressure even more this weekend with his first 7-Unit College Football Play (3:30 p.m.). More opportunities. More firepower. And another chance to keep this football heater rolling all weekend long.

 

RAPHAEL ESPARZA has rung up three out four winning football weekends. He is gearing up for a 7-Unit College Football Play Saturday followed by a 5-Unit NFL Play Sunday. Last Saturday he hit a 6-Unit College Football play and two weeks ago Esparza swept the football weekend, going 5-0, +1,900, and he looks to damage the books again. Esparza has cashed three of four 7-Unit football plays and Saturday he looks for another top ticket cash. Esparza is up +9,570 this season with his MMA/UFC selections and last Saturday at UFC 332 he hit another 7-Unit Play. Three weeks ago, he hit his 8-Unit UFC Fight of the Year and this Saturday night in Las Vegas Esparza will have a 6-Unit UFC Play. He is now 23-6, +9,970 with his last 29 UFC/MMA plays. He is also 14-6 on his last 20 WNBA plays rated 5.0+ and with the WNBA playoffs here he looks to add to his winning run. Don’t forget the NHL has started and Thursday he will have first NHL Top Play (6-Units). He is also keeping his eyes on a pair of potential 5-Unit Plays Friday (MLB Playoffs) and Saturday he will have multiple horse racing plays. You know the deal: you pick the sport: he picks the winners!

 

SCOTT RICKENBACH is +14,220 in MLB since August of 2025 when this two-decade veteran joined Doc's. Rickenbach is 39-15 (72%) his last 54 MLB sides and is +9,585 so far this season after +4,635 last year. Also, he is +1,720 in football so far this season, powered by a stellar 7-3 mark on top games (4-1 with his 7-Unit Plays). Rickenbach went 3-0 in the NFL on Sunday and Monday and will be back with more this week. Finally, the NHL season got underway September 29 and Rickenbach was profitable again last season. That includes closing out on a +5,615 hockey tear and a 21-12 (64%) run with NHL plays rated 5.0+.

 

GRIFFIN MURPHY remains red hot across all sports, including a remarkable 23-10, +9,415 mark with his last 33 top plays. Murphy has gone an amazing 7-0, +5,045 with his last seven UFC fights graded 6.0+ and is 21-12, +6,180 with his last 33 UFC picks overall. He is 53-39 so far in 2026 and he has posted back-to-back winning UFC seasons. Murphy is releasing his 8-Unit UFC Fight of the Year Saturday and is looking to punch his biggest ticket of the season. Get on board for a huge Saturday.

 

JASON SHARPE is coming off a big winning season in hockey last year with nearly +8,000 in profits won. This has been one of Sharpe’s best sports, racking up over +13,000 for his followers over the past three seasons combined. Sharpe has cashed four of his first five picks this season and is looking to stay hot through this weekend – and beyond.

NFL Prediction From Strike Point Sports:

Take #307 Dallas (-8.5) over Tampa Bay (8:15 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 8)

The Bucs are just not good. Yes, they finally covered a line in what seems like years but they aren’t making it two in a row. The Cowboys have had a very difficult schedule to start the season, and now this week they have a cake walk. The Cowboys offense is outstanding, and the wide receivers are going to give this Bucs secondary fits all game long. Dallas is getting quite efficient in the red zone as well as Williams is finding the endzone with ease. Tampa Bay just doesn’t have the horses offensively to keep pace with the Cowboys, especially in Dallas. This one is an easy double-digit victory for the Cowboys. Lay the big number on the home team.

NFL Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:

Take First Half #308 Dallas (-5.5) over Tampa Bay (8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 8)

The Cowboys have trailed at halftime in 3 of their 4 games this season. However, I feel that is even more reason to back Dallas in the first half here. They are back home again and off a big momentum-boosting win at Houston where they had to rally in the 2nd half. It is time for Dallas to jump out with a strong first half and by betting on Dallas in the first half here we get a number that is below a TD. They will take advantage of a Bucs team that is 0-4 this season and struggling badly. Also, the Buccaneers have been down at the half in 3 of their 4 games so far this season including down by multiple touchdowns in their only road game this season. Not only is TB a disappointing 0-4 this season, but this will also be their first road game since their season opener.. That is what makes their poor start even more concerning and the Cowboys should jump on the Bucs immediately in this game. Grab the first half line as the full game line is more than 8 points and the value is with the first half at under 6 points. Lay it here. Take Dallas on the first half line Thursday. 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 Doc's Sports:

Take ‘Under’ 47.5 Tulane at Army (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 10)

We’re backing the under on Saturday as we look for our third straight blowout free play winner! Both teams have taken a step back this season. Tulane sits at 2-2 after reaching the College Football Playoff last year, while Army has suffered two disappointing losses, including a 31-29 defeat at Louisiana Tech last week. Expect Army to lean on its ground game, chew up the clock, and limit possessions. With the Green Wave averaging just 18.8 points per game, we like this matchup to stay under the total.

College Football Prediction From Robert Ferringo:

Take ‘Over’ 56.5 Maryland at Ohio State (4:15 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)

That is now five of seven free play winners in this space after a tough beat with Auburn. We will go with a total for our next free selection and I think that Ohio State is going to threaten 50 all on their own. Ohio State’s offense really hasn’t had that blowup game yet. I think it’s coming. They have faced some rugged defenses in Texas and Iowa. The Buckeyes averaged 52 points in the other three games. Further, since the start of the 2021 season the Buckeyes have been conference favorites of 30 or more points six times. They’ve averaged 48.3 points in those six games and four of the six have seen 57 or more points. Maryland has allowed an average of 45.7 points per game over their last three – and none of those teams had an offense as talented as Ohio State’s. Five of their final seven Big Ten games last year had 55 or more combined points and when they played Indiana last year – a similar mismatch – they lost 55-10 at home. I think Maryland’s offense is good enough to hit double-digits in garbage time against an Ohio State defense that is not as strong as the last two years. This one will be a bloodbath and I have it around 48-13. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

Soccer Prediction From Doc's Sports:

Take Philadelphia (-1.5, +100) over Real Salt Lake (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)

The Philadelphia Union are one of the hottest sides in MLS and Real Salt Lake is struggling with some of the worst current form in the league. This one should be a blowout. The Union are unbeaten in nine matches after a slow start. They have won six straight matches and have scored 12 goals in their last five. They have recent 5-0 wins over both San Diego and Cincinnati, sides that are head and shoulders above Real Salt Lake. Salt Lake have been horrible on the road and have lost five of six away with a single draw. Philly have won three straight home matches by multiple goals, and they should be rejuvenated after the International Break and should lay down the hammer on struggling Salt Lake on Saturday.

NFL Prediction From Raphael Esparza:

Take Jacksonville (-6.5) over Philadelphia (9:30 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 11)

Here we go - another NFL game in London and wouldn't shock me to see another blow out game like we saw last week in Tottenham. Not only are the Philadelphia Eagles 2-2 this young season but they are 0-4 ATS and coming off a blown lead to the Los Angeles Rams. The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a big road win in Cincinnati. And not only are the Jags 3-1 this season but also 3-1 ATS. Give me the Jacksonville Jaguars in this matchup as they are used to playing across the pond and the Eagles are suffering injuries all over the field. Grab this betting now because wouldn’t shock me to see this number close around 7.5 or even 8. If you don’t have an account at Doc’s Sports sign up now and get $60 in premium member picks click here.

NFL Prediction From Nick Menken:

Take Jacksonville (-6.5) over Philadelphia (9:30 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 11)

International games come down to comfort, routine, and preparation, and nobody handles the London travel schedule better than Jacksonville. While overseas travel throws off most NFL rosters, the Jaguars treat these London games like a home fixture, executing their week without missing a beat. Philadelphia comes into this game trending in the complete wrong direction. With Saquon Barkley likely ruled out for this early kickoff, the Eagles offense loses its main driver and big-play engine. Philadelphia's overall energy has felt flat and disjointed over recent weeks, and taking a sluggish squad across time zones is a recipe for disaster against an experienced London team. Expect Jacksonville to jump on the Eagles early, dictate tempo with a balanced offensive attack, and pull away to cover the touchdown spread.

NFL Prediction From Jason Sharpe:

Take #471 Detroit (-4.5) over Arizona (4:25 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 10)

Feels like a big game here for this Detroit team that hasn't lived up to their expectations early on this season. The Lions played an ugly game last weekend on Sunday night football but were in a tough spot on the road against an emotional Carolina team playing it's first SNF game in more than a decade. I think Lions should have their full focus in this one not only off a bad defeat but also with their bye week coming up next week. Arizona pulled off a big week one upset over the LA Chargers but that's not looking as impressive a month into the NFL season as the Chargers are still winless this year. The Cardinals have dropped three in a row coming into this contest and done so by an average of 14 points per game. Play Detroit minus the points.

NHL Prediction From Griffin Murphy:

Take Florida (-1.5) over Columbus (6:15 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 13)

Florida comes back into this season with very high expectations. Columbus is 1-1 to enter the season after a bad loss to Utah, which resulted in a 4-1 final. Florida is just a really tough and bad matchup for Columbus across all cylinders on the ice. Florida is older, stronger, and has more chemistry together. Columbus is a scrappy team that beats bad teams and plays competitively against good teams. We just don't believe Columbus has gotten over the hump yet and expect Florida to drill them in this one.
