4-Unit Play: Take 906 BRAVES/DODGERS OVER (8:08pm E, Saturday, October 16) LAD: Scherzer. ATL: Fried

This is a bit of a cover play, though we legitimately think that this total is too low for these two teams. The Dodgers don't have a hole in their offense and the Braves are at home, with the wind blowing out at 12mph. This game should be over the total by the sixth inning.

5-Unit Play: Take 906 ATLANTA BRAVES OVER DODGERS (8:08pm E, Saturday, October 16) LAD: Scherzer. ATL: Fried

The Dodgers are a great ballclub, but the Braves are hungrier and Fried is just the right person to hold the LA offense down for five innings and let the Atlanta bats do their thing. We've said it all year, but the Braves bring more energy to the field than any team in baseball and to be home for the first game of the series, you'll feel it even before the first pitch is thrown.

5-Unit Play: Take 903 RED SOX/ASTROS OVER (4:20pm E, Saturday, October 16) BOS: Eovaldi. HOU: Lu Garcia

If you watched last night's game, it seemed like every time you looked up, there were 2-3 men on base. These are two of the best offensive teams in all of baseball. Yes, the pitching is good, but every batter, on both teams, can square it up on anyone. Look for a high scoring game in the teens today.

6-Unit Play: Take 903 BOSTON RED SOX OVER ASTROS (4:20pm E, Saturday, October 16) BOS: Eovaldi. HOU: Lu Garcia

The Red Sox let one get away last night. They had more than a few chances to blow it wide open and didn't. Last night will sting for Boston and they'll come out hungrier and more aggressive today. Look for them, from the get-go, to be more aggressive, both at the plate and on the pads. They will take nothing for granted today and even play some small ball, if they have to. They're too good to hold down.

4 Unit Play. Take #181 Purdue Boilermakers over Iowa Hawkeyes (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 16 ABC) Iowa is coming off a big win last week over Penn State, a game they likely would not have won if Penn State did not lose their quarterback. Now they face a poor man’s version of themselves in Purdue, a team that also have a strong defense. Expect a low scoring game and I believe Purdue keeps the deficit in single digits. Purdue has beaten Iowa in 3 of the last 4 meetings including 2020. If they can take care of the football they should be able to take this game down to the wire. The road team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings between Purdue and Iowa. Purdue is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.

10 Unit Play. Take #155 Colorado State Rams over New Mexico Lobos (7p.m., Saturday, October 16 Stadium) Just feel these two teams are going in opposite directions. The Rams are dominated the Lobos over the last decade going 10-0 straight-up and 8-2 against the spread. New Mexico really has trouble moving the football averaging just over 200 yards per game during this 4-game losing streak. They are averaging just 7 points per game over this losing streak. The favorite is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 games between Colorado State and New Mexico. The Lobos are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following an loss in their previous game.

4 Unit Play. Take #144 Minnesota Golden Gophers over Nebraska Cornhuskers (12p.m., Saturday, October 16 ESPN2) Nebraska continues to be a tough luck team and I see no reason why that will change today in a true road game at TCF Bank Stadium. Minnesota does not look that impressive this year but they have a veteran quarterback and are coming off a bye week. Just expect this game to go down to the wire and the line movement towards Nebraska makes this a strong play on Minnesota. The home team is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Nebraska and Minnesota. Nebraska is 1-6 ATS in their last 6 games played during the month of October. Minnesota is 4-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 Big 10 games.

4 Unit Play. Take #134 OVER in Army Black Knights @ Wisconsin Badgers (8p.m., Saturday, October 16 BTN) Wisconsin has a great defense but playing a triple option is just something they do not see very often in the Big 10. Army will be able to move the football and score some points in this game and that sets up a strong play with the over. Wisconsin should be able to overpower Army on offense and also make some plays in the passing game. Wisconsin has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games following a victory in their previous game. Just do not see this low of a total in college football and expect the combined score to be in the forties.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #151 Rutgers Scarlet Knights over Northwestern Wildcats (12p.m., Saturday, October 12 BTN) These are two of the worst teams in the conference and I see Rutgers coming out on top in a true road game. Rutgers has played better on the road this season covering the spread in both games. The Scarlet Knights are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Northwestern is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend football card featuring top play winners on Saturday and Sunday.
