Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #721 Take Texas Tech over Kansas State (8 p.m. Tuesday) I just do not think the Wildcats are deserving to be this big a favorite. It's a value play, simple as that. The Red Raiders covered the exact same number in an away game at Texas last week, as well as covering a bigger number at Mizzou a week prior. You also thrown in covering as a double digit underdogs at both Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, and suddenly Texas Tech doesn't look as bad as perhaps their record suggests. Sure they are winless in Big 12 play, but we're on them to cover, not win outright. Plus, it doesn't exactly hurt that they are due for a league victory all the more. Also, looking at this line from the other team, this is the largest Kansas State has been favored all season. So why is it now after losing two of their last three and going 2-6 ATS in their last eight games in the conference. Doesn't make sense to me. I can only say the number is wrong and much too inflated. Grab Texas Tech and the number in Manhattan.

4 Unit Play. #725 Take Alabama over Auburn (9 pm ESPN U) This is the Iron Bowl basketball style when the Crimson Tide head north to take on the Auburn Tigers. This is a complete mismatch on paper and Alabama cannot afford to take this game lightly since they are just 4-4 in the SEC. The Tigers are getting better under second year Coach Tony Barbee, but they are just 3-6 in SEC play and those wins have come against bottom feeder teams in Georgia, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. Alabama leads the all-time series with Auburn, 87-56, and the Tide has won the last three meetings. The Tide have covered 5 of their last 7 games played on Tuesday.
