Ohio State +8

In Destin, Florida, Ohio State (3-1, 1-3 ATS) goes against #15 Alabama (4-0, 4-0 ATS) Friday at Raider Arena. The game tips off at 7pm ET and will be broadcasted on CBS Sports. Let's break down the odds: Alabama holds a -330 Moneyline, while Ohio State comes in at +260. In terms of the spread, Alabama is favored by 7.5 points with a -118 line. The Over/Under for the game is set at 151.5 points. Ohio State recently secured a 73-56 victory over the Western Michigan Broncos but didn't cover the hefty 21.5-point spread. Meanwhile, Alabama dominated Mercer with a 98-67 win in their last outing. Ohio State and Alabama battled in the Emerald Coast Classic and we're on the Buckeyes here, with the points. Ohio State comes in 3-1 with the lone loss being to Texas A&M in a game that was close for a majority of it. Ohio State was able to turn the game into a grind, which is what they're going to do here in this matchup. Alabama loves to play fast and the Buckeyes can slow things down. Ohio State runs a half court offense that is going to turn this game into a slow pace. The Bucks have seen all 4 of their games in the 60s-70s so far and that is where they're going to want to be here. They'll keep this game close with their defense. They rank 61st in the NCAA, allowing just 63 points against. This will be the kind of game where they keep things close and have a chance to steal it outright in the end. I have faith on Friday that OST will get it done here. Trends, Alabama are 2-4 SU in their L6 played on a Friday when playing on the road. On the other side, Ohio State are 5-2 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Iowa +2.5

It's "The Heroes Game" this week! On Friday, #19 Iowa (9-2, 2-1 AWAY, 5-5-1 ATS) take on Nebraska (5-6, 4-2 HOME, 4-6-1 ATS) in Lincoln. The Big Ten's West Division champion (Iowa) has clinched a place in the conference title match on December 2nd in Indy, while the Huskers need a win to get to a bowl game. I'm still scratching my head as to why Nebraska is favored. I had this feeling 2 weeks ago when BC played PITT and were dogs, and I wondered why, and I lost that pick. It left me angry. LOL I'm not losing this one. Iowa comes into this one with the #3 defense in the Nation allowing a paltry 12.3 PPG to Nebraska's 18.7 PPG. Iowa has won 2 of the L3 in this series, and 5 of the L6.  Let's dive deeper into the series history. Nebraska, in its time with the Big Ten, took down Iowa 4 times, with 3 W's on the road and 1 at home. On the flip side, Iowa managed to best Nebraska 8 times, scoring 5 away W's and 3 home W's. IN NEB's favor Friday is the fact, Iowa's scoring average of 18.5 points per game ranks them 121st out of 130 FBS teams. NO Bueno. Answer me this...What has this team done to warrant being a favorite over a top 25 team, who is going to the Big 10 Championship? Nebraska ranks near the bottom in almost every offensive category for starters. They have dropped 3 straight games and have looked awful in doing so. Losses to Michigan State, Maryland, and Wisconsin were just dull performances. Now, we’re not saying Iowa is going to blow anyone out of the water here. However, this Iowa defense is one you can lean on in this matchup. They’ve been the best in a lot of different categories and they create turnovers. Nebraska’s offensive line is one of the worst in the conference, and should struggle with this front from Iowa. This will still be a field position game, but that’s Iowa’s speciality and they’ve dominated it in all 9 wins. Some trends to note, the UNDER is 7-0 in the Hawkeyes L7 road games, and they're 5-0 ATS in their L5 games as a underdog. Plus they're 6-1 SU in their L7, and 7-1 SU L8 vs. Nebraska, and 5-0 SU in their L5 when on the road in Lincoln. Huskers are 2-10 ATS in their L12 as a favorite, and they're 1-9-1 in their L11 as a favorite of 0.5-3. CHECK. This tells me this is going to be a backyard brawl on Friday. Iowa covers the +2.5. Ferentz secures his 196th win on Black Friday. I love it as a 9* play. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Vanderbilt +8.5

Happy Thanksgiving! Today at 10pm ET from the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV we get NC State (3-0, 2-1 ATS) taking on Vanderbilt (3-1, 1-3 ATS). These two schools, NC State and Vandy, have a bit of a history together. They faced off last December in Chicago, and the Wolfpack came out on top with a 70-66 win. Most of their recent matchups, five out of the last six, have taken place on a neutral court. The winner of Thursday's game will get a shot at the Vegas Showdown championship, where they'll face off against the victor of the BYU/ASU game. Meanwhile, the two teams that don't come out on top will battle it out for 3rd. Vanderbilt, with a 3-1 record, has been on a winning streak since they stumbled in their season opener against Presbyterian. They managed to secure victories against USC Upstate, UNC Greensboro, and Central Arkansas, with a total winning margin of 15 points. Vanderbilt is riding high after making it to the NIT Quarterfinals in the past two years. On the other side, NC State (3-0) has kicked off the season with three consecutive wins. This should be a good matchup, but we're going with the DOGS in this one. (Fingers crossed any of the 3 injured guys are back - no word yet, Lawrence, Lubin, Dort) Vandy are 15-4 SU in their L19, and we'll gladly grab the points here on Thursday in LV. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

Ole Miss -10

Happy Thanksgiving! In Week 13 of 2023 NCAAF, we've got a matchup between the Ole Miss Rebels, with a record of 9-2, and the Mississippi State Bulldogs, sitting at 5-6. The game kicks off at 7:30 ET at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, MS. Check out the betting lines for this NCAA showdown: Ole Miss is favored at -11.5 points, and if you're into moneyline bets, Ole Miss is at -467, while Mississippi State stands at +346. As for the total points in this college football battle, the Over/Under is set at 55.5. We're playing Ole Miss here, laying the points in the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night. Ole Miss has a lot more to play for here for starters. They are looking to crash the New Year's Six Bowl party as they come in with just 2 losses on the season. The Rebels rank 12th nationally in total offense and 17th in the nation with 36.5 points per game. They love to work quickly and have the ability to strike for big plays. On the flip side of that, this Bulldogs team is not as threatening by any means whatsoever. They have the 104th offense in the NCAA and only put up 23.2 points per game as a result. This is just a mismatch when you look at it. Ole Miss is far superior on both sides of the ball and they can really dig a quick hole for Mississippi State. This should be a lopsided game where the Rebels dominate and clinch their way into a New Year's Six Bowl game. Trends, Ole Miss are 6-1 SU in their L7, are 5-1 SU in their L6 games against SEC teams. On the other side, MISSST are 2-8 ATS in their L10, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 games. Finally, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 games at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Arizona -5

Happy Thanksgiving! Late add here. Crunched some numbers. On Thursday in Palm Springs, California, two ranked college basketball teams will face off: Arizona (5-0) and Michigan State (3-2). The game is set to start at 4 p.m. Eastern Time and will be televised on FOX. Arizona is favored with a moneyline of -225, while Michigan State stands at +180. In terms of the point spread, Arizona is giving up 5.5 points with odds of -105. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 146.5. Arizona, ranked #3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, has been on a hot streak, scoring 97 or more points in 4 of their 5 games and maintaining a perfect 5-0 record against the spread (ATS). Notably, they secured a significant victory against Duke approximately 10 days ago at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where they both faced Duke as a common opponent. On the other hand, Michigan State suffered a loss to Duke on Nov. 14, falling 74-65. UA is #5 in the nation on the glass, and NONE of MSU's starters had more than 5 boards vs. Alcorn St. last game. This could be the difference we're looking for here. UA averages 50RPG, and MSU struggles on the glass. UA has punch up and down the lineup, with 6 players averaging 11PPG. They're loaded with inside and outside shooters. This will be a test for MSU. Trends, MSU are 2-4 L6 ATS. On the other side, UA are 5-0 ATS in their L5, 5-0 SU L5, and 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Big 10 teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Lions -7.5

Happy Thanksgiving! The Green Bay Packers (3-7, 3-6-1 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) visit the Detroit Lions (7-2, 7-2 ATS, 4-1 HOME). I just don't see an angle for GB in this one. Lions Top 10 in the NFL in PPG, TYPG, TYPP, Rushing, Passing, Completion %, QB Rating, and 4th qtr scoring. It's an uphill climb for sure for GB on Thanksgiving. Kickoff from Ford Field on November 19th will be at 1pm ET. Watch it on FOX. How are the Lions only a -7.5pt favorite in this one? Remember week 4? Lions 34-Packers 20. Lions covered the -2.5. Also on 1/8/23 Lions 20-16 over GB. Don't expect the Packers to have Aaron Jones available in this one. In past Thanksgiving years, the Lions were never feared. This year, things are completely different. Detroit comes in 8-2 on the season and has all the momentum right now after their frantic comeback against the Bears last week. Detroit scored 15 points in the final 2 minutes to complete the comeback as they are a team right now that has everything working for them. Offensively, it has all started with David Montgomery, who is setting the tone on the ground. The Lions rank 5th in the NFL on the ground, putting up 136.6 yards per game. In total, this offense is firing away, averaging 399.6 yards per game (2nd in the NFL). They control the tempo and they can build a lead here to really frustrate the Packers. Green Bay ranks near the bottom in a lot of offensive categories themselves. Overall, they're in the bottom tier in total offense, ranking 21st in the entire league. Detroit should be able to dictate a lot in this game. They're much better on both sides of the ball and their ability to find the end zone is the difference. Lions 4-0 ATS in their L4 Thursday games. Packers 1-5 L6 as a DOG, and are 2-5 ATS L7. Plus GB are 2-5 SU L7, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. Lions. Lions are 7-1 SU L8, and 8-2 L10 ATS at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Minnesota -5.5 (I locked this in early, but you can now get MINN -4.5)

On Wednesday, it's a showdown as the 76ers (10-4) take on the Timberwolves (10-3) at Target Center, start time is 8pm ET. This marks their first matchup in 2023, following two games last season where they each grabbed a victory on the road. Let's break down the numbers: The Moneyline (ML) odds are +165 for the 76ers and -200 for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are favored by -4.5 points against the spread (ATS), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 220.5. In their recent games, the 76ers narrowly lost to the Cavs, 122-119 in overtime, failing to cover the 7.5-point home favorite spread. On the other hand, the Wolves beat the Knicks 117-110, covering the 2.5. One noteworthy fact is that the Timberwolves are unbeaten at home this season with a 6-0 record, making them a strong parlay consideration, with the Over. It has hit in 4 of the last 5 between these two dating back to April 2021. We're playing the Timberwolves on Wednesday night as they host the 76ers. Philadelphia may not be at 100% in this game. They fell in overtime to the Cavaliers on Tuesday night in a game where they built a frantic 15 point comeback only to fall short by 3. It's unknown if they will sit anyone and also even if they don't, we should see fatigue play a factor on their end. This Minnesota side is going to speed up play on them. Minnesota is the top tier of the NBA in pace and they have dominated on the defensive end with their relentless pressure. Minnesota rank 2nd in total defense, allowing 106.3 points per game. Combine that with them sitting first in field goal percentage against (43.3%). With them not having played last night, they can turn the pressure up on Philadelphia and put them into some uncomfortable situations early on in this game. The 76ers have had issues on 2nd legs of back to backs and this is not the team you want to see on the 2nd half of one. The Wolves are 9-1 SU L10, 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 6-2 SU L8 vs. Eastern conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -6.5

On Wednesday, it's Chicago (5-10, 1-4 AWAY, 5-9-1 ATS) facing off against OKC (10-4, 4-3 HOME, 11-3 ATS) at Paycom Center, with the game set to start at 8 p.m. ET. In this season's matchups H2H, the Thunder are up 1-0. (They won 124-104) on 10/25/23. The current NBA odds are as follows: Moneyline (ML): Bulls +225 | Thunder -275, and Against the spread (ATS): Bulls +6.5 (-105) | Thunder -6.5 (-115), with the Over/Under (O/U) set at 224.5 points. Recently, the Bulls have struggled, scoring less than 102 points per game in their last four outings. Meanwhile, the Thunder had an impressive 134-91 win over Portland, covering the 6.5-point spread, and the game went over 223.5 points. OKC is on a five-game winning streak, but will be without Jalen Williams for this one (again). Cason Wallace starts in his place. On the flip side, Chicago took a tough 118-100 loss to Miami, failing to cover the 1.5-point spread as home underdogs. They are now 3-7 in their last ten games and have dropped 4 of their last 5. Oklahoma City has been a popular backing for us this season as we’ve taken them a few times to the window. We've also picked the Bulls once and bet against them once in those losses, so I feel like I know these two teams intimately. OKC have been a top team in NBA, a covering machine. They’ve had their success on the offensive side, which is going to be too much for the Bulls to handle. OKC comes winning 5 in a row and they swept a west coast road trip in the process. They put up performances of 128, 130, and 134 as they are clicking on all cylinders. This will be a game where they should dictate a lot on the tempo side of things. Chicago ranks near the bottom in many defensive categories and the Thunder will get out and run on them. Trends, Thunder 4-0 ATS L4 at home, 5-0 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 6-1 SU vs. Eastern Conference teams in L7. Bulls are 0-3-1 ATS L4 playing on 1 days rest, and are 3-7 SU in their L10 against Oklahoma City. Plus they're 1-5 SU in their L6 on the road. Get on board with us vs. OKC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

App State -2.5

More analysis coming soon.

We're backing App State here as they tip off early against Murray State. App State just flat out dominated UNC Wilmington on Tuesday in the 2nd half. The Mountaineers outscored Wilmington 53-22 en route to an 86-56 victory. That 2nd half showcased why this team is so good. They have the ability to turn defense into offense and they're putting up huge numbers on the offensive end both in the paint and behind the arc. App State loves to crash the boards, which ultimately should be the difference here. They rank 19th in the entire nation in rebounding and their ability to get 2nd and even 3rd chances is top notch. Murray State ranks 102nd in total rebounding and will have their hands full with the size of the Mountaineers. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Tennessee +3

Tennessee (4-0, 3-1 ATS) and Purdue (4-0, 3-1 ATS) face off in a Tuesday semifinal at the Allstate Maui Invitational in Honolulu. The game starts at 8 pm ET (ESPN). #2 Purdue beat #10 Gonzaga 73-63, covering the -5 spread. Purdue was behind by 9 in the first half but outscored Gonzaga 43-28 in the last 20. Tennessee, ranked #8 won against the Orange Monday. UT covered as a 12.5-point favorite with a 73-56 scoreline, making them 4-0 for the first time since 2020. We're backing the Vols in this one. Purdue struggled at times to shoot the ball and even grab rebounds against Gonzaga in what eventually turned into a win. The final score of that game doesn't indicate how close the game was played as the Boilermakers had a few flaws exposed. Tennessee loves to attack the offensive glass and they get to the free throw line as good as anybody in the NCAA. They are one of the top teams in the nation at the free throw stripe, shooting at nearly 80% as a team. They are going to attack the paint and look to rack up the fouls early on Purdue. This is going to be a physical game and the Volunteers are not the kind of team you want to see on the other side of a contest like this. Tennessee ranks 11th in total defense, allowing just 57.3 points per game. They are in the top tier off a lot of defensive categories thus far, as we will see them suffocate these Purdue shooters and not allow any open lanes. Trends, Tennessee are 4-2 ATS in their L6, plus, they're 6-1 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Bowling Green -1

Bowling Green (6-5, 4-3 in MAC, 7-4 ATS) and Western Michigan (4-7, 3-4 MAC, 7-4 ATS) clash with the game set to start at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU at Waldo Stadium. In their recent matchup, Bowling Green defied the odds as a 9.5-point underdog, covering the spread in a close 32-31 loss to Toledo. On the flip side, Western Michigan couldn't cover the spread, falling short as a 4-point underdog in a 24-0 defeat against NIU. MACtion! We're playing the Falcons on Tuesday night in the season finale for both Bowling Green and Western Michigan. The Falcons come in with 6 wins and are bowl eligible and this is going to be an angry bunch when they come out here. After rattling off 4 straight wins, they blew a huge lead over rival Toledo last week. Still, take away from that game that Bowling Green should have in fact beat the Rockets who are one of the best in the MAC. Bowling Green will lean on their defense here and should be able to contain this Western Michigan offense. The Falcons rank 37th in the entire nation in total defense, while the Broncos counter with the 80th scoring offense in the NCAA. The edge sits with Bowling Green there as they are going to frustrate this Western Michigan offense all night long. Bowling Green's offense is also clicking here as they run a balanced attack. They can not only wear down opposing defenses, but they're going to feed off this WMU side that allows over 31 points per game (110th in the NCAA). Bowling Green are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. Western Michigan are 3-7 SU in their L10. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Gonzaga -12

Get ready for some Maui Invitational college basketball action this Tuesday. It's the Gonzaga Bulldogs (2-1, 1-1 ATS) taking on the Syracuse Orange (3-1, 0-4 ATS) at 2:30 PM ET on ESPN2. The Bulldogs are the big favorites in this clash, with a 12.5-point advantage over the Orange. The game's total points prediction is set at 160.5. We faded Syracuse in their opening round game of the Maui Invitational and it paid off as Tennessee cashed in against them. We're fading the Orange again here on the consolation side as they take on Gonzaga. Syracuse threw everything they had at Tennessee on both ends of the floor on Monday evening. They couldn't get into any sort of rhythm and it actually wore them down a lot for this spot. Now, they have to deal with a Gonzaga team that led until about 10 minutes left in the 2nd half against Purdue. This Bulldogs team lost a lot, but they can still shoot the ball as well as anyone, while attacking the rim. They come into play on Tuesday averaging over 90 points per game and have two 100 point performances. Syracuse doesn't have the firepower on the offensive side to keep up, while they have also struggled on the defensive side here in the early going. The Bulldogs shoot at a 51% clip from the field and they can create a lot of opening shooting lanes with their speed in this one. Trends, Syracuse are 1-8-1 ATS in their L10, they're also 4-2 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 played in November. On the other side, Gonzaga are 14-2 SU in their L16. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Chiefs -2.5

Get ready for an exciting Monday Night Football showdown tonight! The Eagles (8-1, 5-2-2 ATS) are taking on the Chiefs (7-2, 6-3 ATS) in a Super Bowl LVII rematch. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN Arrowhead. In the past, these two teams have faced each other five times since 2009, with the Chiefs holding a 4-1 series lead and a 4-1 ATS record. We’re on the Chiefs here in this rematch. Kansas City is the better team overall. Here are the opening lines, Eagles with a Moneyline (ML) of +120, and the Chiefs at -145 for those who prefer straight up bets. The Chiefs are also favored with a -2.5 (-115) ATS line, and the Over/Under (O/U) total points are set at 47. Both teams are well-rested for this matchup. The Chiefs are coming off a bye week after a 21-14 victory over the Dolphins in Germany, while the Eagles, also enjoying a bye, are riding a three-game winning streak, most recently defeating NFC East rival Dallas 28-23 in Week 9. Chiefs enter this one allowing 15.9PPG (3rd in NFL). Eagles allow 28PPG (29th) Chiefs second in sacks and will be coming after Hurts all night long. KC have always been known for their offensive production under Mahomes, but now they’re getting defensive performances here in 2023. They’re forcing turnovers and not allowing anything easy for the opposition. Kansas City will also have this home crowd to feed off of. Arrowhead is going to be loud and it’ll give the Chiefs a lot of energy to work with. Mahomes will utilize a lot of different receivers, which should produce some big plays down field for this Chiefs offense. Andy Reid's team hung 38 on the Eagles last year. What will they do for an encore? Some trends to note, with the Chiefs Andy Reid 15-9 ATS after a bye week, and 21-3 SU. Philadelphia are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas City, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the American Football Conference West division. On the other side Kansas City are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, 11-1 SU at home L12, and are 15-2 SU in their L17. I'm on the Chiefs MNF. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL ATS Play

Pelicans +1.5

Late Monday night card add, as it seems this is how I do things with NBA waiting for late breaking NBA news. It's increasingly harder to find out what's going on with NBA injuries. Tonight, the Kings, with a record of 8-4 (4-3 AWAY, 8-4 ATS) , are facing off against the Pelicans, who are 6-7 (4-4 HOME, 7-5-1 ATS). The game is scheduled to start at 8pm ET at the Smoothie King Center. Watch this one on BSNO & NBCS-CA. Moneyline straight up bettors can see (ML): Kings -115  | Pelicans -105, while the opening ATS against the spread (ATS) odds have the Kings -1.5 (-105) as a road favorite. The total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 237.5.  2022/23 Season series: Sacramento won 2-1. Sacramento has won 6 straight games and is coming off a 129-113 victory over the Mavericks Sunday, covering as a 1.5-point dog. New Orleans suffered a 121-120 loss vs. the Wolves Saturday, covering as a 7.5-point dog. The Pelicans have now lost 3 of their last 5, but they did have a HUGE win in one of those two wins over the World Champion Nuggets, so you get the feeling they are just trying to find their groove. Zion will be back tonight. He's playing after resting last game out. I was actually really impressed with how NOP played against the TWolves last game out. These guys play with intensity, and fire, and grit, and they're never out of a game. I wonder how good they can be when they get McCollum, and Murphy III back. Sure the Kings are rolling lately, but my money says they're going to slow down tonight. This is the second of a B2B, and 3rd in 4 nights. New Orleans are 4-2 ATS in their L6 games at home. They last met on 4/4/23 a 121-103 SAC win. SAC covered as a +4 dog. These two play again on Wednesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NBA ATS Play

UConn -5-5

We're now at the Empire Classic championship final in New York. It's the UConn Huskies (4-0, 3-1 ATS) facing off against the Texas Longhorns (4-0, 1-3 ATS) Monday night at 7:00 PM ET. UConn is favored by 5.5, and the game's total points are set at 143.5. For Moneyline bets, UConn is at -233, while Texas stands at +190. In their recent matchups, UConn, the reigning national champions, secured their spot in the final by defeating previously undefeated Indiana 77-57 Sunday. Tristen Newton impressed with 23 points and 11 boards, Cam Spencer contributed 18 on 5/8 shooting, and Alex Karaban added 13. Meanwhile, Texas clinched their place with a thrilling 81-80 W over Louisville in the late semi. Kadin Shedrick led the Longhorns with 27, supported by 14 from Abmas and 10 from Ithiel Horton. The Huskies are the move here in the finals of the Empire Classic. Texas comes in after just an absolute hard fought game that saw them hit a buzzer beater to knock down Louisville. They are going to come in with some tired legs here as this game goes on, given the physical nature they had to endure during the win. UConn meanwhile is just blowing teams out. They took down Indiana by 20 in their contest here and they are going to just wear Texas down. Look for this game to become sloppy on the Texas side as the game goes on, as the Huskies should be able to dictate a lot here. The last time these two met was in 2015. A 71-66 UConn win in Austin. UConn owns a 3 win, 1 loss record in these two teams' L4. Trends, UConn are 9-1 ATS in their L10, are 10-0 SU in their L10, and are 5-1-1 ATS in their L7 against UT. On the other side, Texas are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 against an opponent in the Big East. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga +5

The Boilermakers (3-0, 2-1 ATS) and Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 ATS) are set to clash at 5:00 PM ET on ESPN2. This showdown will take place at the Stan Sheriff Center in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. The game's projected total points, the over/under, is set at 155.5 points. Looking back to last year, Purdue and the Zags met during Thanksgiving at the Phil Knight Legacy event in Portland, Oregon. Edey had an outstanding performance, contributing 23, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks, propelling the Boilermakers to a 84-66 W. Currently, Purdue maintains a flawless 3-0 record as they head into this one. They've been favored in all their previous matchups. Gonzaga, on the other hand, is coming off a strong offensive display, tallying 86 points against Yale and more recently a 123-57 win over Eastern Oregon (I didn't know they had a school?!). Zags 2nd in the nation in scoring. They boasted an impressive 50% FG% and made 15 out of 21 FT. In terms of scoring averages, Purdue is averaging 89.3 points per game (ranked 29th), while Gonzaga boasts a remarkable 104.5 points per game (ranked 2nd). The Zags can also defend with the best of them (holding teams to 64 PPG). They shoot 57.5% too. I can't wait to watch Huff go up against Edey. With the Bulldogs entering this game as underdogs with a +4.5 to +5 point spread, they are the team to favor according to my model. Purdue are 3-7 ATS in their L10. The Zags are 14-1 SU in their L15, and 16-3 in their L19 November games. Additionally, I believe the Zags will grab an outright W. The public is on Purdue in this one, so we're grabbing the value at +5.  Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 6* CBB ATS Play

Vols -12.5

#8 Tennessee (3-0) faces Syracuse (3-0) in the Maui Invitational on Monday at 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). When it comes to betting, the Moneyline shows Tennessee at -1200 and Syracuse at +725 for those who prefer straight-up bets. If you're into point spreads, Tennessee is favored by 13.5 points with -110 odds, and the Over/Under stands at 145.5 points. We’re backing the Vols, laying the points here in the opening round. Tennessee is going to overwhelm the Orange in this one. In their previous games, Tennessee dominated Wofford with an 82-61 victory, showcasing a shooting percentage of 47.2% from the field and a 37.8% success rate on 3-pointers this season. Meanwhile, Syracuse faced a 16-point halftime deficit but managed to secure a 79-75 win against Colgate, to stay undefeated. Syracuse comes in with 3 wins, but they’ve struggled at times on both ends of the floor in all 3 games. The latest was a 4 point win over a weak Colgate team, that gave them all they could handle. The Orange allowed 75 points and that won’t translate well against a team like Tennessee. The Vols have so many weapons and will be able to attack this Syracuse defense from different angles. Look for them to find a lot of success inside, which should open a lot of shooting lanes. I can safely say the Vols take this one, even though Cuse isn't going to go lightly. At this point of the season Tennessee is just the stronger team. Top 8 kind of team. Trends, Tennessee are 5-1 SU in their L6, and they're 6-1 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the ACC. On the other side, Syracuse are 1-7-1 ATS in their L9 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* CBB ATS Play

UW +7

On Sunday night in Las Vegas, it's the championship game of the Continental Tire Main Event. SDSU (3-1, 2-2 ATS) faces off against the UW Huskies (3-1, 2-2 ATS) at T-Mobile Arena. The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN2). The odds for SDSU/UW opened with SDSU -255 | Washington +205 for the Moneyline (ML), and now it's San Diego State -6.5 (-102) and UW +7, which looks like a better bet, and we're jumping on the extra point here. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 144.5 (O: -115 | U: -105). The Huskies faced off against Xavier on Friday, and it was a close game with the final score being 74-71. The Huskies were the underdogs by 2.5 points but managed to pull off the win. Brooks Jr. was the standout player, scoring 20 for the Huskies, even though he had a 5/17 shooting record. Wheeler also contributed with 18. Despite a not-so-great 36% FG%, the Huskies only committed 10 turnovers while causing the Musketeers to make 18. On the other hand, the Aztecs, who were 2-point dogs, had a convincing victory over Saint Mary's with a final score of 79-54. LeDee continued his impressive performance, scoring 20 points for the fifth consecutive game this season. He's shooting at an impressive 61% from the field and averaging 25 points and 9 boards. The Huskies will need a solid plan to contain him if they want to come out on top in this matchup. Washington has a lot of value in this spot as this is far too many points IMO. They come in with momentum and a lot of confidence.This Washington team can beat teams from many different angles and they’re going to do just that here. Look for Washington to push tempo on this San Diego State team too. They can make things uncomfortable for the Aztecs with some speed and transition play. This game is expected to be a close one, with free throws potentially being the deciding factor in determining the winner. In terms of recent trends, San Diego State has struggled, going 1-4 against the spread in their last five games against UW. In contrast, Washington has been strong in November, winning 6 out of their last 7 games. Back the Dawgs ATS tonight in Vegas. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Lakers -5

Houston (6-4, 6-3-1 ATS) faces the Lakers (7-6, 5-8 ATS) at Crypto.com Arena Sunday, with the game set to start at 9:30 p.m. ET. In terms of odds, the Moneyline offers Rockets at +180 and Lakers at -225. Additionally, the opening Against the Spread (ATS) odds are Rockets +5.5 and Lakers -5.5. The Over/Under (O/U) for total points is set at 220.5. In their recent games, the Rockets suffered a 106-100 loss against the Clippers, while the Lakers had a 107-95 victory against Portland on the road. Regarding injuries, Oladipo is out and Thompson is out for Houston, while LA's Davis is probable, but Vanderbilt and Vincent are out. In the season series, the Rockets lead 1-0 after a 128-94 home win on Nov. 8. Los Angeles is getting solid contributions all around heading into play on Sunday night. Lebron James continues to put up big numbers and the rest of the group is feeding off that energy he is bringing. We’re on the Lakers here as they have value against a Houston team that is going to regress. The Rockets have been a bit of a surprise thus far, but they come in off a loss to the Clippers last time out. They don’t matchup well with this Lakers team, who has speed and length. Look for the Lakers to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor and really dictate the tempo this game is played at. Some trends, Houston are 3-12 SU in their L15 vs LAL, and are 3-15 SU in their L18 on the road. Plus, Houston are 0-6 SU in their L6 when playing on the road against LAL. LAL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games at home. Lock in the Lakers on Sunday evening. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Vikings +2.5

6-4 (6-3-1 ATS, 4-1 AWAY) Minnesota come into Denver 4-5 (3-5-1 ATS, 2-3 HOME) on SNF. Weather looks to be decent. 40F gametime temp 40% chance of rain, and 10-13mph winds. The venue is Denver's Mile High Stadium, and it will host the NFL action at 8:20pm ET on NBC. This is the first time these teams met since November 17, 2019. Back then, the Vikings won 27-23 in Minnesota. They're also ahead in their overall head-to-head matchups, 8-7.The Vikings are on a hot streak, winning their last five, including the last two with Joshua Dobbs as their quarterback. In his initial two games with Minnesota, Dobbs threw for 426 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also ran for 110 yards and found the end zone twice. Their record stands at 6-4 after a solid 27-19 victory over the Saints last week. Meanwhile, the Broncos have also been impressive, securing three consecutive wins, with their most recent being a surprising 24-22 upset against the Bills in Buffalo. Who would have expected a showdown between Russell Wilson and Joshua Dobbs at the start of the year? The opening odds favor the Broncos at -150 on the Moneyline, while the Vikings stand at +125. The point spread has the Broncos at -3 (-105), and the Over/Under is set at 41 (O: -110 | U: -110). While the Broncos are the slight favorites at home, they've had less time to prepare compared to the Vikings, having played in Buffalo on Monday night. The Vikings will be without Justin Jefferson once again, but they've managed without him for the past six weeks. Mattison should be back, as should Osborne. Minnesota has made significant strides in the past six weeks, and their aggressive blitzing under Brian Flores, the former Miami HC, has been effective. As for Russell Wilson, he's not known for handling blitzes well, and that might be a factor in this game. IN all honesty, Wilson wouldn't know a blitz if it came up and slapped him in the face...which they usually do. Trends, Minnesota are 5-0 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU too, plus they're 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 on the road, and 7-2 SU vs. AFC teams L9. Denver are 6-12 SU in their L18, and 2-4 ATS L6 at home, and 2-4 ATS in their L6 in NOV. The play is the VIKINGS +2.5 on NBC's SNF. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Montreal +8.5

In this year's CFL championship game (the 110th Grey Cup), the (13-7, 12-8 ATS) Montreal Alouettes square off against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (15-4, 12-7 ATS) from Tim Horton Field in Hamilton, ON, Canada. Kickoff is at 6pm ET. We're backing Montreal here in the Grey Cup on Sunday. The public has continued to back Winnipeg as they come in with just 4 losses on the year and two wins over Montreal. This however, is a different Montreal team compared to the ones in the past matchups. Montreal has covered 7 of their last 8 games with the lone one being a push. They blew out Toronto in the semi finals after taking down Hamilton in the Quarters. They are clicking on the offensive side as well, putting up 65 points combined this postseason. They are doing it with a lot of different players stepping up. They can compete with this Winnipeg offense and should be able to go toe to toe with them. Look for them to keep this one close throughout, with a chance to steal this one outright. Trends I like, Montreal 7-1 ATS in their L8, and 5-0 SU in their L5. I know this is neutral site, but the Bombers are 2-5 ATS on the road. If you're a GREEN DAY fan watch the 1/2 time show in this one, EH! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* CFL ATS Play

Jaguars -6.5

3-6 (4-5 ATS) Tennessee Titans take on the 6-3 (6-3 ATS) Jacksonville Jaguars in AFC South action in Week 11 on Sunday at 1pm ET from EverBank Stadium. We're going to play on the JAGS in this one. The Jags were humbled last week and now they're in a full bounce back spot on Sunday. This is the perfect matchup for them to get back into rhythm. JAX was throttled by the Niners, but this Titans team is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum compared to San Francisco. The Titans managed just 6 points against the Bucs last week and they struggle mightily on the defensive end. Lawrence is going to have a field day with this secondary. Combine that here with how bad the Titans are on the road too. Tennessee will be playing their third straight on the road, where they are 0-5 this season. They've failed to cover in their last 2 games during this road stretch as well. We're backing the better team, who has a far better offense. Jacksonville has dominated the bottom tier teams in the NFL thus far in 2023. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on...shame on... The Titans are not who we thought they were. The Jags made the 49ers look like Super Bowl contenders again. They've been humbled and I expect to see a much different Jags team on Sunday vs. their divisional foes. Some trends we're watching. The Titans are 1-4 ATS in their L5, plus, they're 3-13 SU in their L16, also Tennessee are 2-9 SU in their L11 against AFC teams. On the flip side, the Jags are 5-1 ATS in their L6 ,and 5-1 SU in their L6, are 7-3 SU in their L10 at home, and are 10-3 in their L13 vs. AFC south teams. Get down on the Jags on Sunday -6.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play

Packers +3

Sunday Week 11 betting action and we get the (4-5, 4-5 ATS) LA Chargers coming to Green Bay to take on the Packers. (3-6, 4-5 ATS). Kickoff at Lambeau is slated for 1 p.m. ET, watch it on FOX. These two have been playing since the early 70's, but have only met 12x thru the years. (NFC/AFC) GB owns a 10-2 edge. Last matchup LAC won it, 26-11 in 2019. Last game out the Chargers lost a nail-biter to the Packers NFC north rival Lions 41-38. The Packers lost a game I picked them to win last week, going down to Pittsburgh 23-19, they couldn't cover the 3. Turnovers and terrible red-zone offense killed em. The Packers will sport their 1950s throwback Classic Uniforms this Sunday. All things considered, it should create a historic ambiance at Lambeau. Nothing like some nostalgia to get the crowd going, and fire the team up. I wasn't overly down on the Pack last week. They did put up 399 yards, and showed good fight against a Steelers team that seems to just win games no matter the circumstances.I think vs. LAC they'll finish their drives, and the run-game will click. It usually does at home. Watson will be fine, stop over-reacting cheeseheads. He's still developing, but he's coming along. The key to scoring in the red zone is to run the ball, I'm sure we'll see more of a commitment to pounding the rock vs. LAC on Sunday. Despite being 3-point underdogs at home, I expect them to cover against the Chargers. LAC have struggled, going 2-6 ATS in their last 8 matchups with the Packers, 1-7 SU in their last 8 against GB, and 1-4 SU in their last 5 visits to Lambeau. If the Packers can prevent Ekeler, Herbert, and Allen from going off all afternoon with explosive plays the Packers will come out on top. I think they'll do it. Packers have been close to a lot of INT's this year, maybe some will start getting caught! LOL. Anyways I love a home dog...Ok! I'll bite (some cheese). Back the Pack! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Oregon State -2

As you know, I'm a west-coast HONK, and love these Pac 12 games. The #10 Oregon State (8-2) is set to take on the #5 Washington Huskies (10-0) at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, OR, in a big Pac-12 showdown. Weather will be mid 50's and RAIN in the forecast. In their last games, the Beavers triumphed 62-17 over Stanford, while the Huskies secured a 35-28 win against Utah. This is a tough play for me, as you know I'm a Washington grad. But, on Saturday we're backing the Beavers in what should be the best game on the slate here this week. This game features a quarterback clash between Michael Penix Jr. and D.J. Uiagalelei, both likely future NFL players. Last week, Penix had a solid performance, going 24/42 for 332 yards, 2 TDs, and no interceptions, while Uiagalelei was equally impressive with 240 yards on 12/19 passing (63.2%), 2 TDs, and 0 INTs. Oregon State opens as favorites against the #5 team in the nation and they should have all the confidence coming into here. They are undefeated at home this season and have a 62 point performance last week to build off of. Washington survived last week, but this defense looks very suspect coming into play on Saturday. The Huskies have a lot of gaps exposed by Utah and this Beavers team is going to feed off of those. Look for the Beavers to have a lot of success with the big play as they can match Washington's attack. With the crowd here going to be a huge factor, Oregon State should have all the energy here to shake up the College Football Playoff standings. Washington emerged victorious in their previous encounter with OREGON STATE, winning 24-21. They've also dominated the series, winning 10 of the last 11 games (It's a tough choice for me, to be honest! LOL). However, the Beavers did manage to beat the Huskies 27-24 in their last matchup in Corvallis back in 2021. Trends, Washington are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6, and 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. OST. Flip it, and Oregon State are 13-4 ATS in their L17, and are 12-2 SU in their L14, and are 9-0 SU in their L9 at home. Last one, OST is 5-1 in their L6 vs. Pac 12 schools. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

USC -5.5

6-4 (4-6 ATS) UCLA vs. 7-4 (3-8 ATS) USC Just can't lay off the Pac 12 games this weekend. Backing USC on Saturday. This line has dropped a 1/2 point since open and I'll take it. Weather will be in the low 70's...(Who Am I Kidding..its LA) There might be 5mph winds...ewwww. In the history of their matchups, USC has taken the lead with a 50-33-7 record (not counting two vacated USC wins (violations). I know, I know...USC's D hasn't been good of late. I get it, but they're playing UCLA. This is their last Pac 12 matchup, with LA bragging rights on the line. You don't think they can't get up for this one? Their most recent showdown happened on November 19, 2022, resulting in a 48-45 victory for USC. UCLA hasn't been faring well lately, losing two consecutive games to Arizona teams, with a recent 17-7 setback against ASU. The Bruins have only managed to secure 1 road win since September, vs. Stanford (ages ago). On the other hand, USC may have lost to formidable Top 10 teams like Washington and Oregon, but they put up a good fight in both, staying within single digits. There's some buzz about coaching changes and team motivation, with reports suggesting Kelly is facing challenges at UCLA. With all this in mind, I have more confidence in USC and Caleb Williams. He's tied with Nix for passing TD's in the Nation with 29, plus he has 11 rush TD's. He's the better QB in this matchup. No brainer. So, my pick is to go with USC. UCLA are 1-4 ATS L5, 2-6 SU in their L8 vs. SC, and 2-10 L12 when playing USC at USC. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NCAA ATS Play

Arizona -1

On Saturday at 2:30 PM ET, we've got an exciting Pac 12 college football showdown happening in Tucson, Arizona, at Arizona Stadium. You can catch all the action on the Pac 12 Network. The #22-ranked Arizona Wildcats (7-3, 7-2 ATS, 4-1 HOME) will be hosting the #16-ranked Utah Utes (7-3, 6-3-1 ATS, 2-2 AWAY). It's shaping up to be my second favorite Pac 12 matchup of the day, right behind the UW/OST game, of course. The Wildcats come in as slight favorites (-1) against the Utes, and the over/under for the game is set at 46 points. The Cats still can get into the Pac 12 Championship game, so a TON to play for here. Also, good bye Pac 12 as both join the Big 12 in 2024. In their previous game, the Wildcats secured a 34-31 victory over Colorado, while Utah had a tough battle at Husky Stadium in Seattle, falling 35-28 to UW. There are four key players to watch in this matchup, all of them on the offensive side. Quarterback Fifita had a solid performance in the last game, throwing for 214 yards with a 60% completion rate, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs. It wasn't his best game of the year, but he's still a STUD, and I'm expecting his passing yardage and completion numbers to jump back up! Running back Coleman rushed for an impressive 179 yards on just 11 carries. And don't forget about Cowing, the wide receiver with 70 receptions, 518 yards, 51.8 yards per game, and 10 touchdowns. McMillan, another wide receiver, displayed explosive speed in the previous game, and we'll be looking for him to repeat that performance on Saturday. All four of these guys have the potential to make a significant impact, especially with the home advantage on Arizona's side. I'm not saying Utah doesn't have their own weapons, hell, they've got the better Coach in this matchup and don't give up till the end, in any game, ever, I'm just higher on Arizona in this one. AZ 30PPG, UT 25, AZ 275PYPG, Utah 147, RUYDS Utah 192, AZ 152, they run the same # of plays, but AZ avg. 1 yard more per, and both are pretty close on the possession numbers. It's going to be a close game. The spread reflects that. Utah looks tired to me. As for the prediction, Utah might not be exhausted, but they will likely be feeling the effects of their recent travel schedule, going from Utah to Washington and then back to Utah before heading to Arizona within a span of seven days. It's not the ideal situation for them. Arizona's injury report looks a lot smaller too. Trends, H2H Utah is 3-0 L3. Averaging 39PPG to AZ's 19. However, Arizona are 5-1 ATS in their L6, are 4-1 SU L5, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Pac 12 teams. Utah is 3-3 L6. Arizona has a 19-25-2 record all-time against Utah, and they last met Nov 5, 2022 a 45-20 Utah win. The tides will flip on Saturday and AZ will get their 5th straight W (2014 was last time I could say that). Go Cats!

Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play

Coastal Carolina -3.5 

Coastal Carolina (7-3) takes on Army (4-6) at Michie Stadium in West Point, NY this Saturday, with CBS broadcasting the game. The initial odds favored Coastal Carolina by 3.5 points, with a total score projection of 42.5 points. For Moneyline bettors, Coastal Carolina stands at (-168) and Army at (+142). We're playing Coastal here, on the road at Army. Coastal Carolina is going to impose their will on this Army team. These two teams play such a contrast in styles and Coastal has the defense to stop this triple option attack. Army has still struggled offensively, despite even winning their last two games as they haven't had much spark. Even with the triple option in the past, they have been able to find some big plays at times. Those haven't come this year and now they face an explosive Coastal team that can score quickly. Winners of 5 in a row, Coastal continues to put up points and they're getting stops on the defensive end. Look for them to force Army into playing at an uncomfortable pace. Key players like Grayson McCall (1,919 PASS YDS, 10 TD), Braydon Bennett (5 TD, 151 YDS), and Pinckney (6 TD, 763 YDS) are pivotal to CC's success this season, leading the offense. Coastal will speed this game up on them and produce some big plays downfield. The Chanticleers recently triumphed over Texas State, securing a 31-23 victory, while the Black Knights squeezed out a 17-14 win against Holy Cross in their last matchup. Trends, Coastal Carolina are 5-0 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU too. Plus they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the other side, Army are 2-5 SU in their L7 games, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Colorado +5

The (4-6, 2-2 AWAY) Colorado Buffaloes take on the (4-6, 3-2 HOME, ) WSU Cougars tonight in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS college football action. Weather will be chilly (low 40's), low winds, and low precipitation as of this AM in the forecast) Friday Night Lights in Pullman, WA. Sounds great doesn't it? LOL (Sarcasm Meter) I wish this matchup was in September when both teams were HOT. (COL 3-0, WSU 4-0). Anyways, I digress. We were on Colorado +10 last week at home and that one paid off, so I'm going back to the well with Prime this week. The Buffs have value on Friday night, grabbing the points. Colorado needs wins this week and in their finale at Utah to have any chance at a bowl game in Sanders' first season. Colorado has been close in their last 5 losses, as this team isn't far off from where they want to be. The latest was a 34-31 loss to Arizona on a last second field goal, as it was another game they fell by one possession. Still, this offense is finding it's groove once again as they are putting up big numbers. Shedeur Sanders threw for a pair of TDs while racking up 262 yards last week and is continuing to improve with each game. Colorado has far more weapons than Washington State and this is the perfect spot in the national stand alone spotlight to showcase they aren't done this season. Some trends, Colorado are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6, while Washington State are 1-5 ATS in their L6. Wazzu are also 0-6 in their L6 SU, and 0-5 SU in their L5 vs. Pac 12 schools. The good times seem to be missing lately. Washington State (1-6 vs. Pac 12) has lost 6 consecutive games, while Colorado (1-6 vs. Pac 12) has been on a four-game losing streak and has only won once in their last 7, with their solitary win being a 27-24 victory against ASU. I believe CU has the better QB in Sanders. Ball protection will be key, and I don't trust Ward after his 3 fumbles last week. Tonight I'm rollin' with Coach Prime. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Nuggets -5

Ok I'll bite. The Nuggets -3.5 was the opener, now we're a little late to the party but I wasn't sure what this line was going to do but knew I wanted action on it. SO -5 it is. The O/U opened at 225. Lots of games in the Association tonight so I may have another NBA play after this one. We'll see. This is an in-season tourney game! Pels are 1-1 in the tourney. Nuggets are 2-0. The Nuggets come into this one (9-2, 2-2 AWAY, 5-6 ATS), they take on the Pelicans (5-6, 3-3 HOME, 5-5-1 ATS). DEN is 1st in the West, NOP 10th. Denver holds the edge in PPG, PAPG, FG%, 3ptFG%, Assists, Boards, and blocks... I'll give NOP steals, they're pretty good at getting in between passing lanes. The big 5 right now are almost unstoppable (Joker, Gordon, Jackson, Porter Jr, and KCP) all averaging 30MPG and putting up a ton of scoring. It's a shame Murray can't join the party right now, but he'll be back soon. NOP injuries include: Alvarado, McCollum, Murphy III, and Nance Jr. (all are OUT tonight) NOP actually has the edge the L5 times these two have played 3-2 SU, but last time out was 11/6/23 a 134-116 DEN win. Den covered the -6.5 in that one, but we're backing Denver here, as they come in 9-2 on the season. The Nuggets used a 19-9 run late to come back against the Clippers, as they continue their hot start to the season. This team just has so many weapons and Jokic continues to produce in a big way as he is putting together another stellar season already. The Nuggets should be able to pick apart this Pelicans defense. New Orleans ranks 20th in the NBA in total defense and they are one of the worst defensive rebounding teams. This is going to be a game where Denver will look to crash the boards and get plenty of 2nd chances at the rim. (AND I DO expect another triple-double from Joker in this one) Denver should be able to overwhelm New Orleans from the start in this one. Trends, Pelicans are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6, are 0-4-2 ATS in their L6 Friday games, are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6 after scoring 100 points+ in prior game. Denver are 12-2 SU in their L14, and are 8-3 SU in their L11 vs. NOP. Plus they're 14-2 SU vs. WESTERN conference teams of late! I'm on the Nuggets tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Bulls -2.5

Tonight's NBA matchup features the East Group C clash between ORL and CHI, both of whom currently stand at 0-1 in group play, with three games left in the tournament. The game takes place in Chicago, at the United Center, with tip-off scheduled for 8PM ET. You can catch the action on NBCS-CHI. In this matchup, the Bulls (4-8, 3-4 HOME, 4-7-1 ATS) opened as slight favorites, favored by 3 points over the Magic (6-5, 3-3 AWAY, 8-3 ATS). The Money Line offers Chicago at -148 and Orlando at +124. The Over/Under (O/U) opened at 214.5, but personally, I prefer focusing on ATS and O/U bets for my NBA wagers. Analyzing the stats, the Bulls have the edge in points per game (PPG), field goals attempted per game (FGA), three-pointers made, and free throws. On the other hand, the Magic excel in defensive aspects and rebounding. Both teams are among the top 3 in the NBA for steals. Key players to watch include the return of Demar DeRo for the Bulls after a family matter, and Caruso is expected to be in action as well. However, Carter Jr. and Fultz are sidelined for the Magic, and Terry and Ball won't be playing for CHI. Their recent encounter on Wednesday saw Orlando emerge victorious with a 96-94 scoreline, covering the +2.5 spread. The Bulls will aim to return to their winning ways by emphasizing ball security, as they were the NBA's best at limiting turnovers before their Wednesday loss. In Friday's game, expect the Bulls to slow down the pace, focus on solid defense, and generate high-quality shots. They'll be looking to secure a much-needed victory and regain their winning form. Trends. Bulls 5-2 L7 Friday games. Magic 7-13 L20 games vs. Central division teams. Dating back to 2022 they're 4-9 L13 in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

OK ST -7

The (1-2, 1-2 ATS) Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the (1-2, 0-3 ATS) Notre Dame Fighting Irish in college basketball action. The Cowboys and Fighting Irish are aiming to bounce back after losing in the Legends Classic. They'll face off in the third-place game in New York. Tonight from the Barclays Center at 4:30pm ET we get what on paper looks like a nice matchup. But NO SO FAST! Stats tell the tale here. OKST more steals per game, more assists, (better passing team), better rebounding team, betting shooting team 44% to 40% FG%, much better from 3-pt range (36% to 18%), and averaging 69PPG to ND's 63PPG. This is a play where the main reasoning behind it is to fade Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish lost a lot of talent this past off-season and now they come in 1-2 after losing to Auburn 83-59 on Thursday. Shrewsberry's Irish aren't expected to perform exceptionally well this year. Their last game was a hard-fought loss to Auburn in the Legends semi. Notre Dame had a tough time shooting, making only 2 out of 26 attempts from beyond the arc. This has the makings of a long season for the Fighting Irish, who are going to lack just about everything. Oklahoma State coughed up a lead against the Bonnies as they fell in the final seconds of their opening round game in this tournament on Thursday night. They are still the better team overall and they will buckle down on the defensive side, which should produce a lot of Notre Dame turnovers. We're backing the Cowboys to control the pace and really make things difficult for the Fighting Irish on both ends of the floor. A couple trends, Oklahoma State are 4-1 SU in their L5 against ACC Teams, and Notre Dame are 2-11 SU in their L13, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5. OKC is 5-5 SU in their L10. ND are 2-8. I'm on OKST tonight. Give the points. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

OKC -2 (Circa)

I'm good with -2.5 as well. Tonight the Thunder (7-4, 3-1 AWAY, 8-3 ATS) are facing the Warriors (6-6, 1-4 HOME, 6-6 ATS) at the Chase Center, 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). In terms of NBA odds for tonight's game, the moneyline (ML) favors the Thunder at -145, with the Warriors at +120. The spread (ATS) has the Thunder at -2.5 (-115), and the over/under (O/U) is set at 227.5. In their season series, the Warriors lead 1-0 after winning 141-139 on the road back on Nov. 3. They aim to avenge that game when they covered as a 6.5-point dog. Recently, the Thunder had a big 123-87 victory as 10-point favorites over the SAS, while the Warriors have faced a tough time, losing four consecutive. Last game out was a tough 104-101 loss to the TWolves. The Warriors will be without Draymond Green due to suspension, and Steph Curry is likely to be out with a knee injury (he's labelled day to day) and Kerr said likely to miss a couple games, giving the Thunder a huge advantage. We're backing the Thunder for a few reasons here. He has been a scene to say the least thus far into the season and it's put a giant target on the Warriors back. Even if Steph plays, he isn't at 100%. There are a lot of question marks here for GSW early in the season and it's led to a lot of frustrations. Oklahoma City has not only a deep team, but one that can attack. They love to push the tempo with their speed and we should see them match the intensity from this Warriors side. SGA is averaging 33.8 PPG and is putting himself in the early MVP discussion, with good reason. Let's not forget about Holmgren. Who in the prior matchup put up 24 with 8 boards and 5 assists. Two tough dudes to matchup with every night. Thunder had 19 steals against the Spurs. Just sayin. Some trends, OKC are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. Golden State are 1-5 SU in their L6, and they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight. (Hoping Curry stays away) Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

BC +3

Tonight in ACC football, it's Boston College (6-4, 3-3 ACC, 4-6 ATS) facing off against Pitt (2-8, 1-5 ACC, 3-7 ATS) at Acrisure Stadium. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN. Pitt is a -3pt favorite, the O/U is set at 45.5. Weather won't be a factor. (High 50's) Boston College recently secured their spot in a bowl game with their 6th win, a 17-10 victory over Syracuse two weeks ago. They even covered the 1-point spread. However, their momentum took a hit last week with a 48-22 loss to VATECH. Still, BC is one of the top running teams in the country. (12th, 202YPG), AND they're 70th in the country averaging 26PPG. On the other hand, Pitt, with a 2-8 record, has no chance of making it to a bowl game, they're allowing 28.2 PPG, and it's not pretty. It's puzzling why they are the favored team tonight. They suffered their fourth straight loss, falling 28-13 to the Orange at Yankee Stadium last Saturday as 3.5-point favorites. The Orange didn't even have to pass as Pitt's run-D was so terrible. (66 attempts 382 yards rushing, 2 TD's) BC's O-Line is licking their chops for this one tonight. In the last four games, the Panthers have scored 17 or fewer points each time. It's clear that they lack the offensive firepower to keep up with Boston College this evening. Pitt has lost by double digits 6x this year. H2H these two are 5-5 in their L10, with BC 6-4 ATS. They last matched up Oct 10, 2020, a 31-30 BC win. Eagles have won the L2. Pitt still 5-3 L8. Some trends, Boston College are 5-1 SU in their L6. On the other side, Pitt are 2-7 ATS in their L9, and 1-8 SU, plus they're 1-5 SU in their L6 ACC matchups. I cleaned my glasses this AM, and yes Boston College is clearly the better team in this matchup. I'm on BC +3. Don't overthink it. If the Orange can go crazy on Pitt so can BC. "It's not a TRAP." Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Vermont +2

The 2023 Myrtle Beach Invitational starts today at the HTC Center. The opening matchup features the Charleston Cougars facing off against the Vermont Catamounts in a game scheduled for late morning. Charleston has won one of their two games this season, defeating Iona, but they also suffered a loss to Duquesne. On the other hand, Vermont has a perfect 2-0 record so far this season, winning against both Merrimack and Plattsburgh State as they kicked off their 2023-24 season. We're playing Vermont here, as small underdogs in the Myrtle Beach Invitational. Charleston comes in 1-1 after they were blown out by Duquesne in their latest contest. That comes on the heels of their 2 point season opening win over Iona. They have looked a little sluggish through their first two games on the defensive end at times and that is going to be seen here against Vermont. Vermont is a very physical team that loves to control the paint. They're going to impose their will early in this one on Charleston and look to win the battle on both ends of the floor inside. With this being an early start, Vermont gets the advantage with the style they play. Trends, College of Charleston are 1-4 ATS in the L5. Vermont are 17-1 SU in their L18. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Suns -5.5

(8-2, 6-4 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Phoenix Suns (4-6, 4-5-1 ATS, 1-4 HOME) tonight. Game time is 9pm ET from the footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. PHX comes in averaging 111PPG, Minni 111PPG. MIN 48% FG%, PHX 45% FG%. H2H in their L10 Phoenix is 8-2 vs. Minni, averaging 117PPG in their wins to Minni's 110PPG. They're 8-2 ATS in those 10 too. The debut of the BIG 3 tonight in Phoenix. Beal, Booker & Durant. Big letdown spot for the TWolves in this one after winning 7 straight. They’re coming in off back to back road wins over Golden State, which also include a brawl last time out as Klay got into a scuffle. They had a PHYSICAL game last night vs. the GSW. Towns (42), Gobert (35), Edwards (36), Conley (31), and Anderson (27) played big minutes with McDaniels getting tossed out alongside GSW's Green. They get the Suns who are much better than their record indicates. They have battled injuries through their first 10 games and they get a boost with Beal in the lineup. This is a spot for them to show why they’re still the team to beat in the West and humble this Timberwolves fast start. Phoenix has far too many weapons and this will be the kind of game where they can pick apart this Minnesota defense. Durant loves playing against Minni (27PPG, in 43 games). Suns have had 2 days off too. Not having played since Sunday vs. OKC (a 111-99 loss). OKC had a huge 4th qtr in that one (31-13) to deal Phoenix the L. The Suns had no Booker or Gordon in that one. They'll have Booker tonight, unsure about Gordon he's a GTD. I'm not worried about an adjustment period for PHX's stars. They played in the preseason together. Some trends I like, The TWolves are 0-6 ATS in their L6 against the Suns, and are 1-7 SU in their L8 against them. They're also 1-4 ATS in their L5 on the road, and finally, they're  1-5 ATS in their L6 on the road vs. the Suns. Dating back to 2022, Phoenix are 8-4 SU in their last 12 played in November. I'm backing the Suns tonight to have a strong second half, and bring this one home. We could see garbage time in the last 6 minutes. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -10.5

The Spurs come into this one (3-7, 4-6 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) taking on a Thunder team that is (6-4, 7-3 ATS, 3-3 HOME). This matchup is another NBA tournament game, and it's the only NBA play I love. (Other than the free play I put up) so we'll call this an 8* winner! Tip-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC. The Spurs take on the Thunder tonight. OKC is 3-0 vs. SAS L3. They've averaged 117PPG in those 3, to SAS's 105. Spurs near the bottom of the league in most defensive categories, and OKC starting to surge. SGA is healthy, and the Thunder come in off a HUGE win last game out vs. the Suns (111-99). Those kind of wins over teams that are supposed to beat you can be season defining. I'm not sure we're there yet, but it was a confidence and moral booster for sure. Suns had an 86-80 lead into the 4th but a wicked 26-9 run by OKC sealed the deal. Beal & Durant couldn't help in this one. OKC can play some defense can't they? Williams, Dort, and Wallace all make life difficult in and around the paint. The hussle is off the charts. (If I wasn't a life-long Seattle Supersonics fan I might actually like this OKC team) Sunday the Spurs lost 118-113 to the Heat. Only the Grizz, Wizards, and Pistons are doing worse (according to the standings). Spurs can't stop teams from hitting the 3. Plus they're bottom of the league in steals and opponent turnovers. Sure Wemby can block balls, but this SAS team don't help themselves much. Also, their "tall ball" lineup isn't working either IMO. Only positive they're somehow averaging 113PPG. The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their L5, are 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. OKC, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 vs. OKC. On the other side OKC are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 5-2 ATS in their L7 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight ATS. (Seeing -10.5). Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Duke -3.5

At 7pm from the United Center in Chicago #9 Duke (1-1, 1-1 ATS) faces #18 Michigan State (1-1, 0-2 ATS) in Chicago's Champions Classic. Michigan State began with a 79-76 OT loss to James Madison but rebounded with a 74-51 win over Southern Indiana. Duke, after a big win against Dartmouth, suffered its first loss to Arizona at home. We’re backing Duke here in a bounce back spot. It’s rare to see Duke lose at home, but they couldn’t solve Arizona on Friday night. We’ve seen this Duke team in the past really step up after losses and this is going to be the kind of game here where they certainly are up for it. The Blue Devils have a huge edge on the offensive end here. They will get a Spartans team that struggles with shooting the 3 ball. They’ve hit just 2 of 31 attempted so far which has become almost a head game for them. Duke is going to look to get out to a fast start, as they know they can’t dig themselves an early hole against a physical team like this. The style and tempo Duke plays with should be overwhelming for this Michigan State team. Expect plenty of run outs and transition buckets for Duke in this one. Duke are 6-2 ATS in their L8, are 11-2 SU in their L13, and are 6-3 ATS in their L9 vs. MSU. Plus they're 15-5 SU in their L20 vs. Big10 schools. Michigan State are 2-5 ATS in their L7. Back the Devils tonight to get back on track. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Toledo -10.5

The (9-1, 5-5 ATS) Toledo Rockets take on the (6-4, 6-4 ATS) Bowling Green Falcons tonight at 7pm ET from the Doyt L. Perry Stadium in Bowling Green, OH. Toledo has taken down GB in 8 of their L10 H2H matchups, however the last time they locked horns BG got the W 42-35. Toledo is going to be the MAC West representative as they come in continuing to just dominate. They are 9-1 overall and undefeated in MAC play as they’re torching the opposition. This Rockets team can certainly crack the Top 25 with a win here or at least be right in the middle of the conversation.Their lone loss was Week 1 on a last second game to Illinois. Since then, they’ve ran over teams and are putting up big offensive numbers. The Rockets dropped 49 on the Eagles last week and should be able to pick apart this Bowling Green secondary. Look for them to start this off by wearing them down with the run, which should in turn open up a lot of passing lanes. The Rockets have been dominating MAC opponents, their ground game, led by Peny Boone, is especially strong, averaging 7.1 YPC and he's grabbed himself 12 touchdowns this season. The Falcons allow 3.9 YPC, and they haven't faced anyone of note. I just don't see BG slowing him down. We’re backing the better team on both sides of the ball. Toledo are 9-0 SU in their L9, and are 11-2 SU in their L13 games against Bowling Green. On the flip side, Bowling Green are 1-5 SU in their L6 playing at home against the Rockets. Let's ride the Rockets tonight. Up next, the MAC championship game for Toledo. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 6* CFB ATS Play

Providence +1.5

Adding another CBB play here after crunching some more numbers. Tonight at 6pm ET from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI as the (1-1, 1-1 ATS) Wisconsin Badgers take on the (2-0, 1-1 ATS) Providence Friars. In their recent matchup, Wisconsin suffered an 80-70 defeat to Tennessee. On the other hand, the Friars head into Tuesday's game undefeated this season, having won 79-69 against Milwaukee on Saturday. We’re on Providence in what should be a gritty battle. Providence can lean on their defense here. Wisconsin is such a slow team that does not have any sort of tempo. Their attack lags spark and that fits right into the advantage of Providence. The Friars have been solid defensively through their first two games, allowing less than 70 in each of them. They should be able to frustrate the Badgers. Expect a ton of high pressure defense, with them forcing some tough shots and turnovers in the process. But the big question tonight for me is whether the Badgers can contain Josh Oduro. He was a force in the Friars' previous game, recording a double-double with 13 points and 12 boards. Oduro's impact should be a game-changer. The Friars are 18-2 SU in their L20 at home. This is tough place for a road team to come in and grab a W. I love the home dog tonight. Back the Friars. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 6* CBB ATS Play

Broncos +7.5

The Broncos (3-5, Broncos 2-5-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) and the Buffalo Bills (5-4, 3-6 ATS, 4-0 HOME) meet on Monday in MNF at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, NY at 8:15pm. Watch this one on ESPN. In Week 9 Denver had a BYE week to gameplan, and get healthy for this matchup. Their last game Oct. 29, was the upset W over KC 24-9 as a +7 underdog. It was actually the Broncs first underdog W since Week 8 (2022). They've won 2 in a row, and their offense was clicking, and their pass rush was a huge factor. In Week 9 we saw Buffalo play the Bengals. Buffalo took the L, which was their 5th straight loss ATS, 24-18. The early week odds for this one had the Broncos +310 and Bills -400 on the ML, and ATS we're seeing the Bills -7.5. The O/U Total is set at 46.5. This rivalry goes back to 1960. The two have played 40x and the Bills have a 23-16-1 edge. Buffalo has won the L3 vs. Denver, and 5 of the L6. Broncos have consecutive games with 145 rushing yards, and it's clear the only way they keep this one close is to chew up clock on the run game. Javonte Williams is healthy and sitting at 357 RU yds on the season. He had his best game vs. KC (27car. 85 yds, 3 rec. 13 yds 1TD). To spell him the Broncs are using Jaleel McLaughlin as a chance of pace back, and sprinkle in Perine in short yardage. With the injuries to the Bills defense the Denver run game presents a clear and present danger in this one. If RW can hit some downfield targets to Sutton, Jeudy and Mims we'll have ourselves a game. The Bills secondary is beat up, check the injury reports. On the flip side don't forget the Broncos defense kept the Chiefs out of the endzone last game, so Sean Payton could be pushing all the right buttons. Denver hasn't allowed 20+ pts in 3 straight. Allen will have to be at his best for the Bills in this one. Currently he has 18 TD passes (good), but he also has 9 INT's (bad). It all spells a Broncos cover on MNF. Buffalo are 0-5 ATS in their L5, and they're 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. AFC Teams. On the other side, Broncos are 9-1 ATS in their L10 after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NFL ATS Play

St Johns -2.5

We're on the Red Storm here, laying the small number against Michigan. Rick Pitino will have his men ready for a prime time spot in front of nearly a national audience (FS1) (At least those not wanting to watch MNF, for which I also have a premium play up for, shameless plug). The Red Storm lead the all-time series 4-1. But, this will be their first H2H meeting in 23 years. Madison Square Garden will be behind the Red Storm in full force here on Monday night. St. Johns comes in 1-0 with a dominant offensive performance over Stony Brook last time out to start the season. It was the three ball that was the difference here as they drained 11x 3's and that is going to be their plan of attack here on Monday night. Look for them to push the tempo on Michigan and try to open shooting lanes for their 3 point attack. The Storm have a completely new roster, and for those that don't know them, tonight is your introduction. I know, I know Michigan comes in off of big wins for a combined 55pts, but those games were against North Carolina-Asheville and Youngstown State. In this one, Big Blue will struggle defensively with the speed and we should see St. Johns energized by this crowd. The Red Storm are 6-3 ATS in their last 9, are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Big 10 teams, and are (dating back to 2022, 12-0 SU in their L12 in November). Back SJU. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Raiders +1.5

Late add here. I hummed and hawed about this play all day. Tonight on NBC's Sunday night football we get the 4-4 (4-3-1 ATS, 2-1 AWAY) Jets taking on the 4-5 (4-5 ATS, 3-1 HOME) Raiders. The Raiders are looking for their fourth win in their L6 games after a 30-6 takedown of the Giants in Week 9. On the other side the Jets lost 27-6 to the LA Chargers, in a game they were never in. I expect a heavy dose of Josh Jacobs and Adams here in this one. The Raiders know while the Jets have a great defense their runD is their weaker link, so lots of ball control tonight. You can't convince me that the Jets are the better team here, defensively maybe, but I think at home the Raiders just bring too much to the table. Pierce says he's going to run Jacobs a TON tonight, and I don't have any reason to argue. I can remember the Raiders/Seahawks game last year where Jacobs took over. I foresee that kind of night for him tonight. On defense the Raiders are playing aggressive, and I'm buying what they're selling led by Max Crosby. The Jets don't have the weapons to keep up here, and the Raiders should be the favorite tonight. Back Vegas tonight on SNF. The Jets are 4-10 SU in their L14, and are 2-6 SU in their L8 on the road. On the other side, dating back to last year, Las Vegas are 4-2 SU in their L6 played in November.  

Sunday Night 8* NFL ATS Play

Rockets +4.5

Sunday we get the (8-1, 5-4 ATS, 2-1 AWAY) Denver Nuggets taking on the (5-3, 4-3-1 ATS, 5-1 HOME) Houston Rockets in NBA betting action. This one tips off at 7:10ET from the Toyota Center in Houston. Both teams come into this one TOP 5 in defensive pts. allowed at 106PPG. The early season defense is on point. Houston is a better 3-pt shooting team thus far in the season, but of course Denver is scoring 116PPG, to Houston's 111PPG. RPG are pretty even tbh. Houston right now is the team to watch in the NBA. They’re playing at a top level and come in winners of 5 in a row. This is a much different defense that we’ve seen in past seasons from them too. They have been defending with a ton of pressure and are putting together solid performances with their ability to rebound the ball. Offensively, they’re getting contributions from a lot of different players each night too. This is a game they’ll be up for too. With the momentum and a top team in town, the Rockets will have a ton of motivation here. Look for them to keep this close with a chance to steal it outright. Jamal Murray is still OUT for this one for Denver. While Oladipo is of course OUT for Houston. The last time these two met was 4/4/23 a 124-103 Houston win. They covered the +11 in that one. Last game out the Nuggets took down the Warriors in a thriller 108-105. Houston got past the Pels 104-101 in a group stage tourney game. A couple trends, Denver are 2-4 ATS in their L6 against Southwest Division teams. Houston are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 at home. Plus they're 13-4 SU in their L17 vs. the Nuggets. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cowboys -16.5

The Giants (2-7, 1-4 AWAY) and the Dallas Cowboys (5-3, 3-0 HOME) meet on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington at 4:25pm. Watch this one on FOX. In Week 9 we saw BigD lose to the Eagles 28-23, a game they really couldn't afford to lose if they want to stay in the NFC East conversation. On the other side the Giants were once again blown out. This time by the cigar smoking Las Vegas Raiders who are suddenly relevant again. The score was 30-6. To add insult to injury the Giants lost their starting QB Daniel Jones to a season ending leg injury. A quick google search to find out how many times we've seen teams cover a 16pt spread in an NFL games tells me 6x since 2019. That's 67%. I like my chances just based off of that. I'm a Cowboys DST fantasy football owner and I'm absolutely salivating this week at the thought of this defense going up against Danny DeVito...err, I mean Tommy Devito. Dallas has won 9 of the L10 vs. NYG, and have already played them 1x this year. Week 1, and the final score was 40-0. They covered the 3. The Giants have lost 6 of their L7, and have only scored 8 TD's in 9 games this year. This is a big number, sure, but worth backing here. Offensively Prescott is also in a good stride right now. He's been putting up big numbers and moving the ball with ease. The Giants defense ranks near the bottom in a lot of defensive categories and are going to have their hands full here. This game could get out of hand if Dallas keeps their foot on the gas, which I anticipate they will. Dallas has the 3rd best scoring offense 27.5 PPG, and 6th best scoring defense (18.5 PPG). I'm expecting offense in this one by Dallas, and lots of it. The Giants are 2-7-1 ATS in their L10, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. Dallas. On the other side Dallas are 12-6 SU in their L18, and are 11-0 SU in their L11 at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Packers +3.5

Green Bay (3-5, 4-4 ATS, 1-3 AWAY) and Pittsburgh (5-3, 5-3 ATS, 3-2 HOME) will get it on in a Week 10 game Sunday. Kickoff at Acrisure Stadium will be at 1 pm ET. Series history has the Packers leading 20-16. Their last meeting was Oct 3, 2021, a Steelers 27-17 win in Green Bay. Last week Packers 20-3 over the Rams. Steelers 20-16 over Tennessee. This is too many points, in this spot. The Steelers have been on the fortunate end many times so far despite being outgained and honestly outplayed most of the time. Still, they're finding ways to win and they come in in the midst of a AFC North battle. However, the value sits with Green Bay here in this one. The Packers come in with momentum (Love 76.9% on 20/26 passing) after dominating the Rams from start to finish last week. This has been a season so far of ups and downs for the Packers, but they have shown signs of life throughout on the offensive side. Jordan Love has the ability to make a big play and he will be the difference maker here. Look for him to make timely plays and sustain drives for Green Bay, keeping this Steelers offense off the field. I simply trust the Packers more here. AND, I trust their defense too. Packers RUN-D of late have held opponents to only 2.3 YPC (57 rush. 130yds) in their L2 games. (Zero TD's too) Najee will be in tough. Both teams are battling injuries, but I think it hits the Steelers more on Sunday. The Steelers are that team that could totally do to the Packers this week, what the Packers did to the Rams last week, but with Cody Pickett leading the attack I just can't get on board. They've been outgained on total yards in EVERY game this season. Some trends, Green Bay are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Steelers. Steelers 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. NFC North teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play

Titans +1.5

(3-5) Tennessee Titans take on the (3-5) Tampa Bay Bucs in a Week 10 game Sunday. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa is at 1pm ET. Last week the Titans lost 20-16 to the Steelers in a game they had every chance to win, failing to cover as 3pt dogs. On the other side the Bucs and they're totally outcoached coaching staff with Todd Bowles lost their 4th straight 39-37 to the suddenly OK 4-4 Houston Texans. They did cover as 2.5pt dogs at least. The Titans love playing the Bucs. Over the years they've met 12x, and the Titans have won 10. The last time they met was a 27-23 Titans win on 10/27/19 in Tennessee. In 2015 the Titans won 42-14 in Tampa. They're looking for the hat-trick Sunday. we're playing the visitors here.Tampa Bay has been a rollercoaster of emotions this year. They sometimes look like they could be one of the best in the division, while other times they look lost. After Baker Mayfield made play after play last week, his defense completely let him down in a loss to Houston. The Bucs defense is just too hard to trust in this spot. They have been one of the worst in the league and they struggle slowing just about any team down. The secondary is soft, while they have been gashed by the run game too. The Titans are a balanced attack that can wear teams out. Look for them to just that here and force Tampa Bay into a hole early. The Titans are 4-1 ATS in their L5 against Tampa, are 8-1 SU in their L9 against TB, also they're 4-2 ATS in their L6 games against an opponent in the NFC. On the opposite side this week TB are 1-5 SU in their L6, and they haven't had much luck against AFC teams of late going 0-7 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Ohio -1.5

The 1-0 (1-0 ATS) Ohio Bobcats face the 0-1 (1-0 ATS) Cleveland State Vikings on Saturday in college basketball action at 6pm ET. We're on Ohio against Cleveland State on Saturday. At this small number you can play -120 ML, or -1.5 ATS. We're going ATS. The Bobcats have dominated this head to head series as of late and Ohio figures to be one of the teams back in the top of the standings of the Mid American Conference this year. They come in off an 88 point performance to start their season as they love to play with quick pace and can shoot the ball as well as anyone when they're on. The Vikings are poised for a big year, but this is a matchup that simply favors Ohio. They are deep and their ability to shoot the 3 will be the difference maker here. Look for the Bobcats to turn this one into a track meet and put up a lot of pressure early on this Vikings side. We're playing the better team at a good number. Some trends I like, the Bobcats are 9-3 SU in their L12 (dating back to last year of course), and are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. the Vikings, plus they're 7-0 SU in their L7 vs. CLEST. On the flip side the Vikings are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. MAC teams. This won't be a good day for Cleveland State. Back Ohio. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ML Play

Colorado +10

Saturday at 2pm ET it's a Pac 12 matchup between the Arizona Wildcats (6-3, 8-1 ATS) travelling to Folsom Field in Boulder, CO to take on Prime's Colorado Buffaloes (4-5, 5-3-1 ATS). Last week the Buffs lost 26-19 to the Oregon State Beavers. While Arizona took down the UCLA Bruins 27-10. (Fifita was 25/32 (78%) and we had ARIZONA last week! This week though, we're on the other side. Colorado is the move here. After taking the College football world by storm earlier this season, things have completely tapered off. This is their chance to get things rolling again against a good team. The Buffs have still managed to cover inside Pac-12 play as UCLA and Oregon State were both wins ATS. This is a bit of a let down spot for Arizona too. They beat up on UCLA last week as we backed them at home ATS. This is going to be a game where they will struggle defensively against a Colorado offense that should open up their playbook more. Look for a quick paced game with a very inspired performance from this Colorado team. Colorado are 3-2 in their L5, and 2-2 ATS in their L4. 52% of the public money is coming in on Arizona in this one. Back Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NCAAF ATS Play

Penn State +5.5 

On Saturday it's a nice BIG 10 clash between the Michigan Wolverines (9-0, 4-4-1 ATS) and the Penn State Nittany Lions (8-1, 7-2 ATS). Penn State has value here, at home. Michigan is in the midst of just so much drama. With all the sign stealing allegations, Michigan has no idea what to expect when it comes to what is going to happen. There could be fines, suspensions, and there is just a lot of distractions. Combine that with going into Penn State's ability to control the tempo of this game and they're going to have Michigan frustrated throughout. They'll feed off their home crowd's energy here and have the potential to shake things up in the standings. Penn State are 13-2-1 ATS in their L16, are 13-1 SU in their L14, plus they're 7-0 SU in their L7 at home, and finally they're 9-1 SU in their L10 games against an opponent in the Big 10. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play

UNLV -4.5

Gear up for Friday Night Lights, college football style! A thrilling Mountain West conference matchup awaits us. The Wyoming Cowboys (6-3, 5-3-1 ATS) are going up against UNLV (7-2, 8-1 ATS...yes, 8-1 ATS) at 10:45 pm ET, broadcasting live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. Last week, Wyoming secured a 24-15 win over the CSU Rams, while UNLV dominated New Mexico with a commanding 56-14 victory. We're on UNLV here on Friday night. This is a spot where UNLV is being very undervalued. They are a solid 8-1 ATS this season and come in with 7 wins. They are a perfect 4-0 at home, while the Cowboys come in 0-3 away from home. UNLV has looked good overall this season and at home they've been dominant. Offensively, they have a huge edge. They have posted 40+ points in 6 games this season and they've done it with a quick attack. They can strike at any moment and they're going to push the tempo on this Wyoming defense. They're putting up 424 yards per game at home and this is a nice spot for them. Let's talk stats: Wyoming has struggled, going 1-6 ATS when taking on teams from the MWC West division. In contrast, UNLV is red hot, winning 6 of their last 7 games and remaining undefeated in their last 5 home games. They also hold a strong 5-1 record in their recent clashes with MWC teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NCAAF ATS Play

Marshall -3

Marshall (1-0) comes into this one on Friday night ready to keep their winnin' ways going against an upstart Radford (0-1) who dropped their first game of the year. Last game out Marshall took down Queens NC 89-73 in a game that wasn't relatively close. Radford lost out to Charlotte 63-56. Marshall is a much better offensive team here on Friday night. The Thundering Herd come in after taking it to Queens in their opener as they dominated in every facet of the game. They came out with a purpose and overwhelmed them on both ends of the floor. Marshall is led by Kamdyn Curfman and Kevon Voyles. Voyles put up 18 in the opener and grabbed 6 rebounds while dishing out 5 assists. This Marshall team is deep and has a lot of weapons that can cause issues for opposing defenses. Look for them to overwhelm here on Friday night as they have a clear edge. Radford hasn't been doing so well lately, with a 1-7 record in their L8 games against Marshall. They've also struggled, going 1-5 in their L6 games against teams from the Sun Belt. On the flip side, Marshall has been a pretty good ATS team to bet on dating back to last season, winning 13 out of their L17 games. They've been particularly dominant against teams from the Big South, boasting an impressive 18-1 record in their L19. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CBB ATS Play

Hawks -3.5

The Hawks (4-3, 3-4 ATS) take on the Magic (4-3, 5-2 ATS) tonight...IN MEXICO CITY! This is a 9:40ET tip-off. I couldn't lay off NBA tonight. I tried, I just couldn't. Late add here. Magic are banged up. No Gary Harris, Kevon Harris, Wendell Carter Jr, and Fultz will be a GTD, and if he even does suit up won't likely see anywhere near his usual minutes. Wesley Matthews is OUT for ATL. This is a neutral court game so I can't throw the NBA home/away trends at you in this one...sorry. ATL #2 in PPG with 122. 11th in FG% and 21st in 3PT%. (All numbers better than Orlando) Orlando is the better defensive club no doubt, but ATL will own the boards tonight, and that will all lead to a ton of second chance buckets. The L3 times these two have played ATL has won 2-1. ATL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and 7-3 ATS in their L10 vs. ORL. Plus they're 9-2 SU in their L11 vs. ORL. On the other side ORL are 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Eastern Conf. teams. ATL went 3-1 vs. ORL in 2022/23, and they've taken 9 of the L11. Before ATL lost to OKC on Monday they'd won 4 in a row. I think they get back on track tonight by 6+. Back the Hawks -3.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Panthers +3.5

I backed the Panthers two weeks ago vs. Houston and I'm going back to the well with them on Thursday night in a matchup I feel 8* confident about. We're grabbing 3.5 points in a game I could see Carolina winning outright. The Panthers (1-7) and Bears (2-7) are set to clash in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football at Soldier Field with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff (Prime Video). When it comes to ATS stats, the Panthers stand at 1-6-1, while the Bears are at 3-5-1. Unfortunately, last week the Panthers couldn't ride the wave of their first win and stumbled at home, suffering a 27-13 loss to the Colts. The game took a turn for the worse as Young threw two Pick-6s, rookie errors that cost them dearly. On the other hand, the Bears faced a 24-17 L at the hands of the Saints. Justin Fields isn't cleared to play on Thursday so it will be Tyson Bagent starting again for the Bears. While Bagent may have a slight edge over Fields (arguably), his average pass completion of 6.3 yards suggests he's not tasked with much. The major concern revolves around his turnovers, with 8 (six interceptions and two lost fumbles) occurring in a mere 14 quarters of play. I also highly doubt Coach Matt Eberflus of the Bears can craft a winning strategy this week, with a record of 5-21 in Chicago and only 1-9 in close games. Frank Reich has the upper hand. In recent head-to-head matchups, the Bears have had the upper hand, winning five out of the last six encounters. The most recent meeting in 2020 saw the Bears emerge victorious with a 23-16 win in Charlotte, and their last face-off at Soldier Field in 2017 resulted in a 17-3 Bears win. Weather will be in the low 50's, no precip, and winds around 10mph. Taking a look at some key trends for this matchup, Chicago has had a tough time lately. They have a 4-12-1 ATS record in their last 17 games and a dismal 2-17 SU record in their last 19 outings. Moreover, when playing at home, they've only managed to win 1 out of their last 11 games. Back the Panthers ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Louisville -20

Thursday night it's Virginia (2-7, 6-3 ATS) taking on Louisville (8-1, 5-3-1 ATS). We’re on Louisville, laying the number at home.This team has quietly been a force at times this year and at home they’re absolutely dominate. They come into Thursday 5-0 at home this season and they actually haven’t lost on this field since September of 2022. The Cardinals offense is going to overpower this Cavaliers defense in every which way.The Cards put up 34 on Va Tech last week as they run a balanced attack that has opposing defenses guessing a lot. Look for Louisville to put the pressure on early and keep their foot on the gas. They’re at their best when they play with tempo too, which will have Virginia all over the place. In my NCAA Football betting analysis, I've noticed some important trends. Virginia has struggled lately, winning just 2 out of their last 12 games and losing 16 out of 20 on the road. On the flip side, Louisville has been strong, going 4-1-1 against the spread in their last 6 games and winning 9 out of their last 10 overall. Additionally, they've been solid at home, covering the spread in their last 10 home games. The Cards haven't lost at home since Sept 16, 2022. LVille has their eyes set on the ACC championship game, and they have to get past UVA to keep that dream alive. There's motivation in spades on Thursday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Trail Blazers +8.5

Some late night West Coast NBA gambling action to wrap up our evening. We're on the Blazers ATS tonight. Both teams recently lost their last games. Portland lost 112-100 at home to the Grizzlies on Sunday to split their two game H2H matchup, while the Kings suffered a 122-97 defeat to Houston on Monday in which they're were totally taken apart. What has happened to the Kings without their do-everything man De'Aaron Fox? He'll be back soon, but not soon enough. Portland won't have Scoot Henderson and is still missing Simons and also are down backup center Robert Williams III as well now. They're a bit banged up, but thankfully the Kings aren't in great shape either (Fox & Lyles). I like where PDX is going. They're young, sure, but I'm happy with where PDX is right now, they're improving every game, they've got young studs (soon), a good mix of vets, and they play with desire and hustle, it's all you can ask for. It helps that Ayton has picked his game up too. He's averaging 30MPG, 10PPG, 13RPG and chipping in with timely blocks, and the occasional steal. He had a career high 23 boards just the other day too, and he's grabbing his share of double-double's early in the season. Portland are 7-2 ATS in their L9 games on the road. On the other side, Sacramento are 1-4 SU in their L5 games, and they're 3-7 ATS in their L10 games at home, and finally they're 3-8 in their L11 vs. Western Conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray

Wednesday 6* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Clippers -4.5

We're on the Clippers here, laying the number on the road. Things didn't go as planned for James Harden Clippers debut as they were trounced to the Knicks. This is a prime bounce back spot now as they come into play here against a Nets team that has had a lot of issues. Brooklyn is 0-3 at home for starters as they have struggled to find any sort of consistency. Their issues on the defensive end are going to be a huge problem against this Clippers attack. Los Angeles is going to right the ship as Harden makes this team better no matter what you hear from the outside noise. Look for Los Angeles to push the tempo and force the Nets into some tough transition defensive spots. The Nets are 3-9 SU in their L12, and are 0-6 SU in their L6 at home, finally they're 1-6 ATS in their last 7 against Western Conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pacers -6

Jazz (2-6, 0-4 AWAY, 3-5 ATS) have lost 5 of 6, and they've only got 2 wins this season from 8 games. They're averaging 111PPG (16th), and are 24th in FG% at 45.1%. The Jazz have had the doors blown off of them through their first two games of this roadtrip. They have looked awful on both ends of the floor as it seems like Utah just simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up with the teams in this league so far.  They come in ranking near the bottom (29th) in total defense and have to deal with a Pacers team that loves to play quick and up tempo. Indiana (4-3, 3-2 HOME, 4-3 ATS) comes into this game scoring 121 points in each of their L3. They're the #1 scoring team in the NBA averaging 124PPG. They're 4th in FG% 49.55. Utah are going to have their hands full all night long here against this Indiana side that ranks near the top in a lot of offensive categories. Look for Indiana to put their foot on the gas and take advantage of this Utah defense that just struggles so much to get back in transition. Indiana are 8-4 SU in their L12 games when playing at home against the Jazz. On the other side Utah are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, are 1-5 SU in their L6, and are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Canisius +14

We're on Canisius on Wednesday night as they go into Syracuse here. The Orange already do have a game under their belts, but it was far from pretty on the defensive end. They allowed 72 points to New Hampshire in a game where the Wildcats just didn't go away.  Syracuse struggled on the defensive end as they allowed a lot of looks at the rim. They got themselves into some foul trouble as well in the win, which is something they have to avoid here. Canisius is going to attack this Orange zone and look to open things up for their outside shooters. Dating back to last year of course, Canisius are 7-0 ATS in their L7 games, and are 5-2 SU in their L7 games. Plus they're  4-2 ATS in their L6 games against Syracuse. On the other side Syracuse are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games, and they're 1-6 SU in their L6. This game should be close throughout, helping them keep it within the number. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

FAU -5.5

FAU is going to have quite the spotlight on them heading into this season. They made their improbable run last year in the NCAA Tournament and now open the season as one of the best in the nation. FAU come into this one holding the early season #9 ranking in the nation. They're a preseason final 4 pick yet again after that remarkable Final 4 run last season. They're returning all 5 starters and look poised to do great things. They went 35-4 in 2022/23 and have a new home in the AAC after moving from the CUSA. In the previous season, Loyola-Chicago switched from the Missouri Valley Conference to the Atlantic 10. The Ramblers had a tough year, with a 10-21 overall record and a disappointing 4-14 performance in the A-10. Can they improve in 2023/24? They'll need to start quick on Wednesday. This is the kind of game from the outset where FAU can show the nation they still have it. They're going to be tested all year long as they'll have a huge target on their backs, but that won't be something they shy away from. This FAU side showcased last year with this starting 5 that they can attack the rim and shoot it just as well as anyone else in the nation. Look for some inspired play here and for them to come out with a lot of fire, knowing they want to get off to a quick start to the season. FAU are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 11-1 SU in the L12. On the other side, LC are 1-5 ATS in their L6, and are 1-5 SU in their L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio -7

(6-3, 4-5 ATS, 2-2 AWAY) Ohio take on the (3-6, 5-4 ATS, 1-3 HOME) Buffalo tonight. This one kicks off at 7:30pm ET, from UB Stadium in Buffalo, NY. You can watch this one on ESPN2. Ohio is a 7pt favorite in this one, and the O/U total line is set at 44. If you're a moneyline (straight-up bettor) you'll see the dogs (Buffalo) at +224 ML odds, and Ohio is -250.

We all need more MACtion! Back the road team tonight. Ohio -7. This play is of the 7* variety.

Both teams come into this one off of losses. OHIO took the L against Miami of Ohio 30-16 at home. On the other side Buffalo was taken apart by Toledo 31-13. Tonight's weather will be in the 40's at kickoff, no rain, 10mph winds. The last time these two matched up was 1/11/22 a 45-24 Ohio win. 

Even though he's Canadian...Kurtis Rourke is going to be the difference maker here. The OU QB has thrown for 1656 yards this year and 10 touchdowns thus far. He's the kind of playmaker who can strike quickly and isn't afraid to put his head down and take off running.

He is such a threat with both his arm and legs and he should pick apart this Buffalo defense that has been very suspect this season. 

The Bulls have struggled with mobile QBs and they're going to have a huge mismatch. 

Cole Snyder isn't as big of a playmaker as Rourke and we'll see that here on Tuesday night. 

Did I mention Ohio is 7th in the NATION on defense allowing only 15.6PPG too? Ok...I just did. Buffalo is 99th... 29PPG. Ohio is also first in scoring defense in the MAC, and Ohio has more INT's than passing TD's allowed.

Some trends to note, Ohio has taken 4 of the L7 in this series. Ohio are 14-4 SU in their L18 games, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 against Buffalo. Plus they're 4-2 SU in their L6 games against Buffalo, and are 10-3 SU in their L13 games vs. MAC teams. On the other side Buffalo are 3-6 SU in their L9, 0-4 in their L4 as a favorite, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 at home.

Tonight, once again, I'm on the team with the better QB. I'm putting my faith in Rourke to get the job done tonight. 

Back the Bobcats ATS in Tuesday's MACtion.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CFB ATS Play

NIU -9.5

Northern Illinois (4-5, 4-4-1 ATS) faces a familiar opponent as they take on Ball State (2-7, 4-5 ATS) on Tuesday at Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, IL, in a MAC showdown. You can catch the action on the CBS Sports Network. The latest betting odds show Northern Illinois as the favorite with a -10 spread. For those looking at the moneyline, Northern Illinois is at -372, while Ball State is at +287 for straight up bets. The over/under total line is set at 43 points.

In their previous game, the Huskies battled Central Michigan and suffered a 37-31 loss, while the Cardinals fell short, losing 24-21 to the Bowling Green Falcons. Looking at their historical matchups, the Huskies hold a 25-23-2 record in the all-time series but have dropped three of the last 4.

I'm on NIU -9.5 on Tuesday night.

NIU can smell a bowl game. They need this game much more than Ball State does. Sit back, relax and enjoy the MACtion folks!

NIU had rattled off 3 straight wins before seeing their comeback fall just short against the Chips last week. They dug themselves too big of a hole and were unable to finish a frantic comeback late.

This team will turn back to their defense, who will rebound here. During their 3 game winning streak, they allowed performances of 14,13, and 13 in those wins. Ball State's offense has been an absolute struggle all season. 

They've been far too inconsistent to score here and they are going to struggle mightily with this pressure NIU brings. Look for the Huskies to rear back and blitz all night long, forcing sacks and some bad decisions from this Ball State passing game. 

Some trends to note, NIU are 6-1 SU in their L7 when playing at home against Ball St. On the other side, Ball State are 1-5 SU in their L6, are 2-9 ATS in their L11 vs. NIU, and are 3-11 SU in their L14 vs. NIU. Lastly, they're 0-7 in their L7 on the road.

Back the Huskies on Tuesday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Feyenoord PK

Feyenoord defeated Lazio 3-1 in Rotterdam two weeks ago.

Wieffer is back from injury, and Feyenoord come into this Euro matchup off of a 2-1 win over RKC on the weekend.

Lazio enter this one off of a 1-0 loss to Bologna in Serie A.

I'm on the Dutch side here.

Too much class in their lineup and they have their sites set on the last 16.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* Champions League ML Play

South Dakota State -1.5

Akron comes into this one (3rd in the MAC in 2022/23) and SD State was (2nd In the Summit). This one tips off at 9:15pm ET from the FROST Arena in Brookings, South Dakota. Odds favor the Jackrabbits by -1.5. The total is set at 141.5. SDST is a -120 favorite on the ML.

This is a revenge spot for South Dakota State as they welcome in Akron to start their season. 

The Zips and Jackrabbits battled into overtime last year as Akron escaped with a 1 point win at home. 81-80. South Dakota State blew a lead late in that game and that isn't one they're going to forget heading into this matchup. SDST covered as 3.5 dogs.

Akron went just 5-6 on the road last year as the MAC runners-up return a lot of good pieces. However, this is the kind of game and team that can match their intensity and ability to shoot the 3. 

South Dakota State will score a lot of quick flurries of points and they can shoot the 3 similar to Akron can. This just isn't a good matchup for the Zips to start their campaign.

Look for South Dakota State to overwhelm them in this one and get out to an early lead that see them put their foot on the gas. 

Some trends to note, Akron are 2-4 ATS in their L6, and are 3-7 ATS in their L10 against an opponent in the Summit League conference. South Dakota State are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and are 8-2 SU in their L10 games.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* CBB ATS Play

Chargers -3

Jets (4-3, 2-2 HOME, 4-2-1 ATS) vs. Chargers (3-4, 1-2 AWAY, 2-4-1 ATS)

ATS: Jets +3, Chargers -3, O/U: 41, ML: Jets +140, Chargers -155

Last Meeting: Jets 28 Chargers 34  (11/22/20)

Jets L10 - 4-6 SU, Chargers L10 5-5 SU

Monday night football wraps up the week for us, and we're hoping it's been a successful weekend for you! Backing the road team here on Monday. 

The Chargers are entering a favorable part of their schedule, which this is the time for them to turn things up. 

They will see a Jets team that has been very inconsistent and is dealing with a few key injuries to their offensive line. That bodes well for us as the Jets lean on their run game to be successful. The Chargers should be able to pick apart this offensive line and get a lot of havoc in the backfield. 

Combine that with Justin Herbert playing better as of late and there is a lot of value on this side.

Herbert has been battling a broken thumb on his non throwing hand. He's now played a few weeks with it and has the experience with it. He will have a field day with this Jets secondary and will have a lot of big plays over the top. 

Some trends to note, Chargers are 4-0 ATS as a road favorite of 3-10, and the Chargers are 4-1 SU in their L5 games against the Jets, and they're 4-1 SU in their L5 games when playing on the road against the Jets. The Jets are 4-9 SU in their L13 games, and are 3-8 SU in their L11 games played in November.

While the Jets may have won 13-10 over the Giants are they a team that will be able to trade punches with the Chargers on MNF? (Let me answer that rhetorical ? for you) No chance in hell. The Bolts catch another break on their schedule here to get right. Last week it was a 30-13 blowout of da Bears, now they get a team that's not much better in the Jets.

Expect another 300 yard game from Herbert (who says his thumb is getting better each week), plus 2-3 TD's. Ekeler will get his as well (something to the tune of 110 yards rushing and 8-9 receptions for 70-80 yards. This one could be ugly folks. 

Chargers -3.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NFL ATS Play

Wolves +4.5

The Timberwolves (3-2, 3-2 ATS, 3-0 HOME) try to extend their home dominance on Monday night against the team with the best record in the Association thus far in this young season. Minnesota has a three-game home winning streak to protect. The Boston Celtics (5-0, 2-1-2 ATS, 1-0-2 on the road) come to town. Tip off is at the Target Center, at 8:00 PM ET on BSN and NBCS-BOS. The Celtics are favored by 4. The Over/Under is 227.5. Straight up Moneyline bettors will see Boston -176, Minnesota +149.

These two last met on 3/15/23 a 104-102 Celts W. They have 1 common opponent this season. MIN defeated MIA 106-90. BOS defeated MIA 119-111.

The Timberwolves are valuable at this number.

Minnesota catches Boston in a good spot here. The Celtics are unbeaten but it’s put a target on their backs early in the season.

Minnesota has been no slouch either. They’ve shown they’re going to be a force in the west with their ability to score. We’ve seen they’ve had little issue when it comes to attacking.

They spread the floor and put together some quick attacks. Combine their ability to work in the paint with their top shooters and this is the kind of game where they can give the Celtics a lot of issues.

Defense wins championships, and this is the best defense taking on the best offense. I'm going to side with the defense tonight. Especially since the Celts have travelled from NY on Sunday. If you're feeling like a side bet put some on the Wolves ML too.

Some trends to note, Minnesota are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, and 4-0 ATS at home in their L4. 

I like the Wolves at home tonight to keep this number close. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers +1.5

Monday night we get the Lakers (3-3, 0-3 AWAY, 3-2 L5, 1-5 ATS) vs. Heat (2-4, 2-1 HOME, 2-3 L5, 1-5 ATS) matching up. Kaseya Center Tip-off is set for 7:40 p.m. ET (on NBA TV). H2H matchups of late between these two: 1/4/23 LAL 112 MIA 109. 12/28/22 MIA 112 LAL 98.Lakers are a +1.5pt dog, the O/U is set at 222.5.

Injury Report: MIA - Hampton OUT, Jovic ?, Martin OUT, Butler (Prob.) LAL: Hayes OUT, Hachimura OUT, Schifino OUT, Vincent OUT, Vanderbilt OUT. 

I'm on the Lakers tonight.

Afternoon day of game add-on here as we're really watching injury reports with the NBA early in the season here. It's really hard to cap NBA games right when the lines come out. The more information we can get throughout the day the better.

The Lakeshow were embarrassed in Orlando and will want to right the ship here on Monday in a city where LeBron will have extra incentive to put on a show.

As for Miami, we can hardly take anything from their two wins. They were against teams we hardly expect to be talking points in 3-4 months.

The Lakers aren't good in the 1st qtr, the Heat aren't good in the 4th, and I think you can now see why the spread on this game is so close. It's going to come down to a few blocks, steals and boards in this one. Lakers score more PPG, have a better FT%, and rebound on the defensive glass much better. They're also 2nd in the league in blocks! 

Some trends to note, Heat are 0-5 ATS in their L5 home games, 0-5 ATS in their L5 as a home fav, 1-4 in their L5, 1-4 in their L5 ATS. The Lakers are 3-2 in their L5 SU.

Backing the Lakers today. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NBA ATS Play

Oregon -5

We're on Oregon (4th in Pac 12) vs. Georgia (11th in SEC) here as the College Basketball season tips off. This one tips off at 4:30pm ET from Las Vegas.

This Ducks side is going to be a good team not just in the Pac-12, but in the entire nation. They return seven players in total to this roster, with 3 of those being starters from last season. This team is extremely deep and they are going to showcase that here against Georgia. They did manage to get to the NIT quarters last year and went 21-15. This team is only 2 years removed from making the 2021 Sweet 16.

The Ducks love to play with some tempo too as well, which should throw Georgia off here in Game 1. Look for them to utilize the transition game and get out on this Bulldogs defense. 

Oregon is at their best when they can lean on their speed and size, controlling the paint on both ends of the floor. 

This is simply not a good matchup for the Bulldogs right out of the gate here this season. UO returns the better lineup (on paper), so fingers crossed that translates here early in the season.

UG went 16-16 last year and hasn't reached the NCAA tourney since 2015.

Some trends to note, Georgia are 0-7 ATS in their L7 games, and they're 0-6 SU in their L6 games. On the other side Oregon are 6-2 SU in their L8 games.

I'm backing Oregon today. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cavs -1.5

The Cavaliers (2-4, 0-3 Home, 3-3 ATS) are set to take on the Warriors (5-1, 4-0 AWAY, 1-5 ATS) at home, hoping to break their three-game losing streak. The game starts at 6:00 PM ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, OH. Watch it on TV on BSOH and NBCS.

In terms of Moneyline (ML) odds, the Cavs are at -120, while the Warriors stand at +105. Cleveland is a slight 1.5-point favorite on the spread. The game also has an over/under set at 224.5 for those interested in the total points.

Injury Status: Klay Thompson GTD.

We’re on the Cavs here Sunday night.

Cleveland has to turn things around and they’re going to have to be at their best here. 

The good news for Cleveland is their health. They’re at full health with Jared Allen and Darius Garland back. This will be just the 2nd game of the season where the Cavs will have the entire roster back. 

They have the weapons to compete with this Warriors side and they’re going to get up for this game. 

Cleveland will push the tempo on Golden State and look to attack in transition. They’re going have the pace here and it’ll open shooting lanes for the likes of Mitchell and Garland. 

The last time these two met up was 1/20/23 a 120-114 GSW win. OBviously the Warriors are clicking on all cylinders but they've been travelling a lot here to start the season and the Cavs while not the ELECTRIC factory are more than capable to get up and down the court here with GSW.

Some trends to note, the Cavs are 7-3 in their L10 November games, and are 7-2 in their L9 games played on Sundays. Lastly, the Cavs have covered ATS in their L7 vs. Western Conference teams, after losing the previous game as a FAV.

Cavs will be up for the challenge.

I'm backing the Cavs -1.5 today. They'll get it done vs. GS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play

Panthers +3

Colts (3-5, 2-1 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) vs. Panthers (1-6, 1-2 HOME, 1-5-1 ATS)

ATS: Colts -3, Panthers +3, O/U: 44.5, ML: Colts -150, Panthers +135

Last Meeting: Colts 38 Panthers 6 (12/22/19)

Indy L10 - 4-6 SU, Panthers L10 3-7 SU

I see the Panthers as the stronger team on Sunday.

Carolina should be able to match up well with this Colts side on both sides of the ball.

Indianapolis has been absolutely torched on the defensive end. Looking back at their last 3 games, they have allowed, 37 points to the Jags, 39 to the Browns, and then 38 last week against the Saints. They haven't slowed anyone down with the run or the pass.

Carolina should have a field day with this defense.

The Colts constantly give up the big play and their inability to get off the field on third down is costly. 

Carolina should control this one from the outset with their tempo and really have the Colts on their heels. Indianapolis has just been digging too big of holes they simply cannot get out of. 

Some trends to note, the Colts are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite, are 3-12 SU in their last 15 games, and are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Carolina. Carolina are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games against an opponent in the AFC South, and lastly, they're 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog.

I had the Panthers ATS last week, and I'm going back to the well this week.

Panthers +3.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Packers -3

A nice matchup on Sunday when the Rams (3-5, 3-4 ATS, 2-2 on the road) take on the Packers (2-5, 3-4 ATS, 1-2 at home) on Nov. 5 from Lambeau Field at 1pm ET. NFL Opening odds have the Packers as +1.5pt point dogs ATS, and the O/U line has been set at 42.5. ML straight up bettors will see the Rams +145, and the Packers are at -160.

I had the Cowboys -6 over the Rams on Sunday and I'm going back to the well this weekend with the Packers at home behind their rabid fan base. I'm not sure at this point of the week if Stafford will play (He's questionable as of Monday), if he does I think he'll be in quite a bit of pain. It's a 1pm ET game as well, which is always difficult for the west-coast teams. The weather will also likely be a factor this week for a nice indoor/climate controlled team playing in the elements of Wisconsin. I get it if you don't trust the Packers, but I do this week. Their defense plays well at home.

Green Bay will lean on that defense here to force the Rams into some uncomfortable and long third down spots. 

The key for them will be to put together a lot of different blitz packages. The Packers are at their best on the defensive end when they can get into the backfield and cause a lot of havoc. That should be the case in this one as they can produce some long yardage situations and get off the field. 

Look for them to even force a few turnovers here. The Rams have been turning the ball over a lot more and they just don't look as sharp as they have in the past. Stafford is reeling right now and his offensive line is letting him down. 

Given their struggles, they haven't covered the number much either. 

Some trends to note, the Rams are 1-6-1 ATS in their L8 games in November, are 5-14 SU in their L19 games, are 0-9 ATS in their L9 games against the Packers, and are 0-5 ATS in their L5 games when playing on the road against Green Bay. On the other side the Packers are 7-1 in their L8 vs. NFC West teams.

Back the Packers -3 on Sunday when the Rams travel to Lambeau.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Arizona +2.5

On Saturday we get another nice Pac 12 matchup to feast on. The UCLA Bruins (6-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 2-2 AWAY) take on the Arizona Wildcats (5-3 SU, 7-1 ATS, 3-1 HOME). This one kicks off from Arizona Stadium at 10:30pm ET. The betting odds favor the Bruins -2.5 as road favorites, while we're seeing Zona at +2.5. On the ML (for straight up bettors) we're seeing UCLA -135, and AZ at +120. The total opened at 59, and we're now seeing it at 51.5 (O/U). Bettors are hammering the UNDER.

Arizona comes into this one averaging 31.2PPG (46th in the nation), while UCLA comes in averaging 30.8PPG. (48th). UCLA owns the matchup advantage 7-3 in their L10. UCLA are 4-6 in their L10, and Arizona are 7-3 SU in their L10. These two last played on 11/12/22 a 34-28 Arizona win in Pasadena. 

This is another game where UCLA is going to have a let down. They've lost their two games this year on the road as Utah and Oregon State both exposed a lot of flaws on them. Arizona can take a page out of their playbooks coming into play. 

UCLA struggled offensively in those games as they couldn't figure out the various schemes and were forced into some tough windows to pass in. 

Arizona is at their best defensively when they bring pressure. That is going to be the case here as they will bring more than 4 a lot, pushing back this UCLA front. 

Another tough matchup to see go away in the Pac 12. A late night BAIL out play for Saturday evening. We hope we don't need a BAIL out of course, so hopefully this is just a cherry on top of another winning day. 

Really impressed with Pac 12 frosh of the week AZ QB Noah Fifita. (Sunday's could be in his future) He's 111/149 for 1152YDS with 11TD's and 3 INT's in his first 4 starts. Completing over 70% of his passes. UCLA presents a defensive test, but I think Fifita passes it.

Some trends to note, UCLA are 4-8 ATS in their L12, and are 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. teams from the Pac 12. The Cats come into this one 7-1 in their L8 ATS and 6-3 SU in their L9. Plus they're 4-1 in their L5 vs. Pac 12 teams. Lastly, the Cats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog of 0.5-3.0.

I'm backing the Cats on Saturday vs. UCLA. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Washington -3

On Saturday we get my favorite Pac 12 matchup. Sadly, it's their last Pac 12 matchup. The Washington Huskies (8-0, 3-4-1 ATS, 3-0 AWAY) take on the USC Trojans (7-2, 2-7 ATS, 4-1 HOME) from the LA Memorial Coliseum at 7:30pm ET. The odds currently have Washington as a -174 ML favorite, USC is +140. ATS the Huskies are -3 to -3.5 pt favorites depending on your book. White the O/U betting total is set at 76 but opened at 78.5. 

The Huskies come into this one 9th in the nation scoring at 40.4PPG. The Trojans 1st at 45.9PPG. Defensively the Huskies allow 20.6PPG, and the Trojans allow 32.6PPG. The Huskies own the L5 matchup advantage 3-2. (The Huskies went 0-5 ATS in those L5). Over the L10 USC has the edge 6-4 SU.

Michael Penix Jr is looking to continue his way toward the Heisman. He is the biggest piece to this game as he not only want to outshine his counterpart Caleb Williams, but he also wants to continue this Huskies march toward a potential BCS Playoff. 

We simply can trust the Huskies defense more. As we talked about earlier, they allow 12 less points than this USC defense. The Trojans have been torched by just about everyone and they've lucked out in the end in a few instances. 

Washington's defense is going to get creative here and force Caleb Williams into some uncomfortable situations. 

The last time these two matched up UW took USC down 28-14 in Seattle. I'm not sure I see a 14pt win on Saturday, but I see a 5+ point win.

Some trends to note, UW are 10-0 SU in their L10, are 8-3 ATS in their L11 vs. SC, and are 6-0 SU in their L6 games on the road. Lastly, UW are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6 after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. On the other side, USC are 0-6 ATS in their L6, and are 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. Pac 12 teams.

I'm all over the road team in this one. Give me the Dawgs -3 on Saturday in LA.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Georgia -15

In Saturday's SEC matchup, #1 Georgia (8-0, 5-0 at home, 3-5 ATS) faces off against #14 Missouri (7-1, 5-2 ATS, 2-0 away) at Sanford Stadium in Athens, GA. The game starts at 3:30pm ET and will be broadcast on CBS. Here are the Week 10 College Football Odds: ATS Betting Lines: Georgia (-15.5), Moneyline odds Georgia (-739), Missouri (+508). The Over/Under Betting total is set at 55.

Mizzou recently defeated South Carolina 34-12, while Georgia triumphed over Florida 43-20. Their previous encounter on 10/1/22 saw Georgia win 26-22 over Mizzou, staying under the 54.5 total. Mizzou holds an 8-2 SU record and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games, while Georgia is 10-0 SU and 4-6 ATS in their last 10.

I'm on UG on Saturday -15. I see them as the play here.

This game is a big one, and to put it simply, I have more faith in UG than Mizzou. UG knows Mizzou well, understands their strengths, and has a plan to counter them. Last year, Georgia had to come back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Missouri 26-22 and stay in the running for the national title. They won't underestimate Mizzou this time around.

Combine that with the new playoff rankings coming out as well and Georgia isn't going to take this game lightly. The Bulldogs were ranked behind the Buckeyes in the current BCS Playoff rankings, which is certainly going to light a fire. 

The defense is going to be the difference here. Look fore them to force a lot of issues for this Mizzou front and or them to get into the backfield. They're going to force turnovers and long 3rd down situations, which should result in some short fields for the Bulldogs. 

Some trends to note, Missouri are 0-9 SU in their L9 against Georgia. On the other side Georgia are 10-0 SU in their L10, are 20-0 SU in their L20 at home, and finally they're 15-0 SU in their L15 vs. SEC teams.

Back the Bulldogs ATS. Give the points. You won't need them.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

76ers -5

Philadelphia (3-1, 2-0 HOME, 3-2 ATS) hosts Phoenix (2-3, 1-1 AWAY, 4-0 ATS) at Wells Fargo Center today at 1 p.m. ET. Last season's series ended in a 1-1 tie, and this marks their first clash in the 2023/24 season. Phoenix has won 3 of the 4. They split last season. 3/25/23 was their last matchup, a 125-105 Phoenix win.

The odds for Saturday are as follows: Moneyline (ML) shows Suns +155 and 76ers -190, while Against the Spread (ATS) has 76ers -4.5 (-110), now shifting to -5. The Over/Under (O/U) stands at 220.5.

The Suns suffered consecutive losses to the Spurs on Tuesday and Thursday, failing to cover both games. In contrast, on Thursday, the 76ers triumphed over the Raptors 114-99, covering as 7.5-point home favorites. They're a perfect 4-0 ATS this season.

Phili is 7th in the association at PPG with 117 per game, the Suns are 18th with 112PPG. The Phili defense is 5th in the NBA with 105PPG, and the Suns are 14th at 111PPG. Both teams are TOP 10 in FG%, and FT%. Plus they're both Top 10 on the defensive boards. But, and let me just say this bluntly. Do you really think Nurkic can hang with Embiid today? I sure as heck don't. And as a side bet I'm getting down on any Embiid props I can find.

Booker (ankle) is OUT per Vogel this AM, and with a game in Detroit tomorrow, he will skip today's matchup. (He's from Detroit) With Booker out I really like Maxey to have even more of an impact on this matchup today. Dude's ballin' right now. 30PPG, 6RPG, & 6APG. He's the NBA player of the week for a reason! PHX won't have an answer for him.

Some trends to note, Philadelphia are 12-5 SU in their L17, and 8-3 in their L11 at home. Plus the 76ers are 6-0-1 ATS in their L7 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. On the other side the Suns are 0-4 ATS in their L4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 games as an underdog of 0.5-5. 

Phoenix has travelled, this is the first game of a back to back and they don't have Beal or Booker. OUCH. Only way this is close is if Durant has one of "those games".

I'm backing Phili -5 today.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Notre Dame -3

What a great matchup we get on Saturday in college football betting action when the Fighting Irish (7-2, 2-1 on the road, 7-2 ATS) vs. Clemson (4-4, 3-1 at home, 2-6 ATS) on Nov. 4 from Memorial Stadium at 12pm ET. CFB Opening odds have the Irish as -2pt favorites ATS, and the O/U line has been set at 40.5. ML straight up bettors will see the the Irish -160, and the Tigers are at +140.

Notre Dame's offense is going to be the difference. 

ND comes into this one after dismantling the PITT Panthers last week. They're rollin'. I'm of the opinion that they're defense is playing the best they've played all year. Plus they scored 23 points off of 5 Pitt turnovers in this one. They now have 10 takeaways in their L2 games. 

They've protected the ball and also been able to run a solid balanced attack, which is something they lacked in their losses to Louisville and Ohio State. They lean on Estimee to get things going and that opened up a lot of passing lanes for Hartman last week. 

Expect that strategy to stay the same. 

Off of back to back losses Clemson is reeling, and being back home for some home cooking may be what the Dr. ordered. These two clubs have met 6x with 4 coming since 2015. The Tigers have the edge 4-2. But after this week, and how well the Irish are playing of late I'm going to say the edge will be 4-3. This Irish had Clemson's number last season too, winning 35-14.

Some trends to note, for starters the Irish are 11-1 ATS in their L12 vs. ACC teams, are 7-2-1 ATS in their L10 games, and are 8-2 ATS in their L10 games on the road. On the other side Clemson are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7 non-conference games. Lastly, they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games.

Two teams going in opposite directions. Back the Irish on Saturday on the road vs. Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

BC +3

In Week 10, we've got a Friday Night Lights matchup between Syracuse (4-4, 3-4-1 ATS, 0-4 ACC, 3-1 HOME) and Boston College (5-3, 3-5 ATS, 2-2 ACC, 2-1 AWAY) at JMA Wireless Dome. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET, catch it on ESPN2. Week 10 ATS Betting Lines favor Syracuse (-2.5 to -3), with Moneyline odds of Syracuse (-139) and Boston College (+117). The Over/Under total is set at 51.

Boston College is riding high after a 21-14 victory against UConn, while Syracuse is reeling from a 38-10 loss to Virginia Tech. These teams seem to be heading in opposite directions. Their last meeting on 11/26/22 ended in a Syracuse 32-23 win, with BC covering the +10.5. In their last 10 games, BC is 8-2 SU (4-6 ATS), and Syracuse is 5-5 SU (4-6 ATS). BC averages 28 PPG, while Syracuse puts up 26 PPG.

Syracuse has been unable to figure things out offensively. That is going to be the biggest difference here. The Orange inability to move the ball has led to turnovers and quick 3 and outs. 

BC's defense has been impressive, allowing no more than 24 points in any game during their recent streak. Meanwhile, Syracuse has struggled against UNC, FSU, Clemson, and Va. Tech, losing by a combined score of 150-34. It's a tough road ahead for the Orange. BC has got more to play for it seems like (bowl eligibility)

We're backing the hotter team. Boston College is going to come at this Orange offensive line with so many different blitz packages, giving them a lot to think about. If they can get into the backfield and not give them a lot of time to throw, this Orange team is simply not built to come from behind. 

Some trends to note, the Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their L7 as a road dog of 0.5-3.0. Also, BC are 4-1 SU in their L5, and 6-3 in their L9 in November. Cuse are 0-4-1 in their L5 ATS, and 1-4 SU in their L5. Plus they're 0-8 ATS in their L8 vs. ACC teams. Finally, the Orange are 0-8 ATS in their L8 after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Meet me at the window! I'm backing the Eagles on TGIF. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Cavs -1.5

Cleveland (2-3) takes on the Pacers (2-2) tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers hold a 1-0 lead in the season series after defeating the Cavaliers 125-113 on Oct. 28. Current NBA odds show the Cavs as -124 on the moneyline, the Pacers at +122, with the Cavs now favored by -1.5 (down from -3) on the spread. The over/under is set at 229.5. This is the first matchup in the NEW NBA in-season tournament. "The NBA CUP" or whatever it's called?!

The Cavs are coming off a 95-89 win against the Knicks, while the Pacers suffered a big 155-104 loss to the Celtics. In their previous matchup on Oct. 28, the Pacers beat the Cavaliers 125-113 as 3.5-point road favorites. BUT...BUT the Cavs were without 3 starters in that one. Revenge factor tonight.

Injury updates: Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, and Tyrese Haliburton are all active.

Adding this play late because of lineup news (This will happen often with NBA games). The Cavs have won 2 out of the L3 in this series. They did lose the last game on 10/28. But prior to that they've won 5 of 6. 

I'm all over the Cavs tonight. I think they'll get the best of the Pacers and we're seeing the line move in our favor (was -3).

Some trends to note, Cleveland are 7-2 SU in their L9 games against Indiana, and they're 8-1 SU in their L9 games against an opponent in the Central. Indiana are 4-9 SU in their L13 games, and they're 3-8 SU in their L11 games against an opponent in the East.

Back the Cavs on TGIF.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Suns -8

NBA Thursday night, it's a rematch between San Antonio (2-2, 1-1 AWAY, 2-2 ATS) and Phoenix (2-2, 1-1 HOME, 3-1 ATS) in NBA action at the Footprint Center, tip-off at 10 p.m. ET, watch it on NBA TV.

Suns are favored with a spread of -7.5 (-115). For those going straight up, Spurs are at +240, while Suns are at -300. The Over/Under is set at 225.5.

San Antonio pulled off a remarkable Halloween night comeback to beat the Suns for the first time in their last 10 meetings. The Spurs lead the season series 1-0. Both teams average 110 points per game, but the Suns have a better defense, allowing only 105 points per game, while the Spurs concede 121 points per game, ranking 27th. In their last 10 games, both teams have a 5-5 record.

Notable injuries for tonight: Beal (OUT), Booker (OUT), Lee (OUT).

We're on the Suns tonight to finish the job they should have finished on Tuesday.

I'll admit, it's weird the NBA has been having teams play back to backs with the same team, but this is a good spot for the Suns to come out with more fire.

The Suns choked away a 3 point lead with just seconds left as the Spurs shocked them for a win. 

Phoenix took that loss personally, especially Kevin Durant, who did not box out and turned the ball over. Look for him specifically to put up some big numbers here as the Suns are the better overall team. 

They have far more weapons and will come at this Spurs defense from a lot of different angles. The revenge factor is in play and we're playing the home side in this one. 

Some trends to note, the Spurs are 5-10 ATS in their L15, are 6-12 SU in their L18, are 2-4 ATS in their L6 vs. the Suns, and are 4-16 SU in their L20 on the road. Phoenix gets up for Prime Time Thursday night games. They're 16-4 in their L20 playing on a Thursday night at home.

Back the Suns at home tonight. They'll win by 12+.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Steelers -2.5

Titans (3-4, 0-3 AWAY, 4-3 ATS) vs. Steelers (4-3, 2-2 HOME, 4-3 ATS)

ATS: Steelers -2.5, Titans +2.5, O/U: 36.5, ML: Titans +130, Steelers -150

Last Meeting: Steelers 19 Titans 13  (12/19/21)

Titans L10 - 5-5 SU, Steelers L10 7-3 SU

I see the Steelers being the team to back on Thursday Night Football. I'm delivering a win to you "via Amazon Prime!" (See what I did there? LOL)

The Titans will be without Tannehill once again and this Pittsburgh defense is going to blitz all night long in this one. The Steelers defense is one of the best, led by TJ Watt, who loves to cause a lot of havoc in the backfield. 

They'll get a look at Will Levis here, who does come in off a good start. Still, Pittsburgh defense is 2nd in the NFL in takeaways this season. They are going to put together a lot of different blitz packages and have Levis on tilt here. 

The advantage its with the home side in this one as they should control the tempo on both sides of the ball. 

Some trends to note, Pittsburgh are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, plus, they're 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. On the other side the Titans are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Pittsburgh.

While they may have found their QB of the future I'm not impressed with the Titans overall. I just don't think the Titans are a very good football team. 

Steelers -2.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Red Raiders -3

In a crucial matchup, TCU (4-4, 1-2 AWAY, 3-5 ATS) takes on Texas Tech (3-5, 2-2 HOME, 3-5 ATS) tonight in Week 10. Both teams seek a win after a bye week, aiming for bowl eligibility in their Big 12 clash in Lubbock, Texas. The game kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET on FS1.

The betting odds favor Texas Tech (-3) as the Spread Favorite (ATS). On the moneyline, it's Texas Tech (-148) for straight up bettors and TCU (+124). The Over/Under total is set at 59.5.

Their previous meeting on 11/5/22 ended in a 34-24 TCU victory. TCU is 4-6 SU in their last 10, while the Red Raiders are 5-5 SU. Last games out TCU got smashed 41-3 by KState. Tech lost 27-14 to BYU.

We're on Texas Tech here, at home.

This is almost a must win for the Red Raiders if they hope to find themselves in the postseason bowl games. They have dealt with injuries all season long, but do get back QB Behren Morton, who will make a difference here. He's the spark TT needs to get that offense going again. I have no doubt here.

He's been able to lead this offense when healthy to some big plays and solid performances overall. Tech needs to win 3 of their last 4 to get to a bowl so his timing is great, and Jake Strong was not the answer.

TCU has been one of the most disappointing teams in the nation this year and they have struggled on the road. This is going to be a game where Texas Tech comes out with a bit of fire underneath them as well. 

The Red Raiders should be able to find a lot of success against this secondary, we're backing TT. Protect the ball, and don't turn it over tonight...that's how TT takes this one. Weather will be clear and in the high 60's, not a factor.

Some trends to note, Red Raiders are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 vs. Big 12 teams. On the other side TCU are 3-6 ATS in their L9. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play 

Pelicans +3.5

Tonight at 7:40pm ET in OKC we get the New Orleans Pelicans (2-1, 1-0 AWAY, 2-1 ATS) taking on the OKC Thunder (3-1, 1-1 HOME, 3-1 ATS) at the Paycom Center. The betting odds for this one have the Thunder as the small -3.5pt favorites ATS, on the ML the Pels are +140, the Grizz -155. The O/U total is set at 227.5 after opening at 225.5. 

New Orleans come into this winners of 5 of their L10, while the Thunder are 6-4 in their L10. These two clubs met up 5x in the 22/23 season with NOP taking the series 3-2. The Thunder have won the L2 games 123-118, and 110-96. (They haven't met since APRIL). The Thunder won 124-112 Monday over Detroit. While the Pelicans lost to GS 130-102. (No Brandon Ingram)

We’re on the Pelicans here, grabbing the points.

New Orleans is a very interesting team. They are built to play with a lot of speed and also have the ability to shoot a ball better than a lot of teams.

Oklahoma City is getting a lot of credit here early but this team still has a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball. They are still on the younger side for the most part and still go through spurts where they just haven’t looked good at times.

Grabbing the points here is the smart move as New Orleans can go toe to toe with this Okc side and have a chance to steal this outright. The ZION is my X-Factor tonight. I don't think OKC has anyone that can go toe-to-toe with him.

Check out the NBA injury reports for this one. Alvarado and Ingram are questionable. When Ingram plays NOP are 2-0. (I think he plays tonight, if he doesn't McCollum plays more, and I'm OK with that too) For OKC J. Williams is OUT, and K. Williams is OUT.

Some trends to note, the Pels are 11-5 SU in their L16 games, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games when playing on the road against OKC.

We're backing the Pelicans on the road tonight. Wrong team favored. (Especially if Ingram plays. LOL)

You have to love the NBA injuries to start the season hey? (NOT)

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Underdog Play

Knicks -3.5

The Cavs (1-2, 1-0 AWAY, 0-3 ATS) take on the Knicks (1-2, 0-1 HOME, 1-1-1 ATS) tonight at MSG. Tip-off is 7:30ET. Knicks are -2.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 212.5. On the ML the Knicks are -155, while the Cavs are +150.

Happy Halloween! Light night in the association, this will be my only NBA play. 

We’re on the Knicks here as they have value at this number on their home court tonight.

The Cavs have continued to battle injury after injury to start the seasons. Cleveland has missed their stars early and it’s resulted in them needing to utilize their bench. 

They’ll be without Garland and Allen once again here and they’re going to have so many issues against this defense. This Knicks team took it to them in the playoffs last year with their stellar defense and can utilize it once again here. 

Look for the Cavs to struggle offensively and for New York to turn up the intensity early . 

A trend to note, the Cavaliers are 0-6 ATS in their L6.

Backing the Knicks tonight. They pass the sniff test and look like the value play here.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Jazz +8.5

I have to admit I'm buzzing with excitement for this Monday matchup. The NBA champs, the Nuggets (3-0, 2-1 ATS), are on a roll, aiming for their fourth straight win as they take on the Jazz (1-2, 1-2 ATS) at Ball Arena. The action tips off at 9:00PM ET.

Initially, the Nuggets were favored by 7.5 points, but now, the Jazz are at +8.5. The game's total points are set at 230.5. For those who prefer straight-up bets, the Moneyline odds show Denver at -334 and Utah at +262.

These two last played in April a 118-114 Jazz W. They're 2-2 in their L4 H2H. The Nuggets are playing on the second day of a B2B so the Jazz being more rested should have more legs to play their style of game Monday.

Utah can play with this Nuggets team. The Jazz are a young group that loves to play quickly. They can match the pace with the Nuggets, which is rare to find at times in the NBA.

The Jazz have built a nice core with the likes of Markkanen, Sexton, Clarkson, and a few more supporting cast. This team feeds off the energy and when they catch fire, they come at you in waves. This is the kind of game where they will not only get up for it, but they know they have to attack to keep up with this Nuggets attack.

Look for this one to be back and forth all night long, with Utah holding their own. 

Some trends to note, the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their L5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. On the other side the Jazz are 6-0 ATS in their L6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games, and they're 7-2 ATS in their L9 games against Denver.

I'm not saying the Jazz win this outright, but they'll be in it to win it.

We're backing the Jazz tonight to play the Nuggets tough like they have quite often in their L5 matchups H2H.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NBA ATS Play

LIONS -8

Locking this in early. I expect the line to move UP TO -9 or -9.5 as the weak moves on. (I could be wrong, and I was wrong. LOL)

Tonight, it's Monday Night Football in Week 8 as the Raiders (3-4) take on the Lions (5-2) at Ford Field, with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC/ESPN.

For those looking to bet straight up, the odds stand at Raiders +300 and Lions -375. If you prefer the point spread, the Lions are favored by -7.5 (-115), and the Over/Under total is set at 44.5.

In their last outing, the Raiders suffered a brutal defeat, losing 30-12 to the Bears in a game that was completely one-sided. They failed to cover the spread as a 2.5-point road favorite. On the other hand, Detroit had a tough time too, experiencing their worst loss of the season, a 38-6 drubbing at the hands of the Ravens, failing to cover as 3-point underdogs.

Tonight we're in a nice bounce back spot on the Lions.

They are here to put last week behind them as they were throttled by the Ravens. They still have had a lot of success thus far and still have far more confidence heading into play here.

The Raiders had just 235 yards in their loss to Chicago, a game in which their struggles came on both sides of the ball. Las Vegas has just been far too inconsistent to trust. The Lions should be able to move the ball on them and put together some solid drives early in this one. 

Look for the Lions to stake themselves out to a lead and have this Raiders team in an uncomfortable spot.

Some trends to note, Vegas are 2-4 ATS in their L6 games, and they're 3-7 SU in their L10 games. They're also 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road. On the other side, Detroit are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games at home.

Back the Lions at home on MNF. Jimmy G or not (he'll play), this is a double-digit win for the Lions who get back on track.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NFL ATS Play

Kings -2.5

The Kings (1-1) will host the Lakers (1-1) at the Golden 1 Center in Sac Town today, starting at 9:00 PM ET. This game marks their first meeting this season. NO lie, this is going to be a close game, the Kings are slightly favored by 2 points (to -2.5). The expected total points scored by both teams combined is set at 234. Straight up bettors will see the ML set at Sacramento -130, Los Angeles +110.

Last season, Sac-town won 3/4 against the Lakers. Interestingly, most of their victories happened away from home, as they achieved a 2-0 record in LA. The Kings last year were one win away vs. the Warriors from facing off against the Lakers in the Western Conference Semi's.

We're on the Kings here, laying the points at home. They averaged 126PPG vs. LA last year and won their matchups by 5+. I'm expecting the same today.

Sacramento is in a bounce back spot after they were knocked around by Golden State last time out. They put themselves in a hole early that they just could not get out of.

This is the perfect bounce back spot as they matchup well with Los Angeles. The Lakers needed a huge comeback against a Suns team that was missing half their team it seemed like due to injury. The Lakers still have plenty of flaws on their side and they aren't going to match up with a team that plays with so much tempo.

Look for the Kings to push the issue here and get out in transition, which should cause plenty of problems for this Lakers side. 

In the 2022/23 season, Sacramento had a strong performance, winning 68.6% of their games when they were favored to win (35 wins out of 51 games). When they were the favorites with odds of -130 or less in the previous year, they did even better, with a record of 31 wins and 13 losses, a 70.5% win%.

Some trends to note, (There's a few...LOL) The Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their L5, are 1-5 SU in their L6 games, are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. the Kings, are 1-4 SU in the L5 vs. Sacramento, and are 0-5 SU in their L5 games on the road.

We're on the home team on Sunday. Enjoy the NBA action!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cardinals +9

In Week 8, the Ravens (5-2, 5-2 ATS) hit the road to face the Cardinals (1-6, 3-4 ATS). The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, and on TV on CBS. When it comes to NFL Week 8 betting odds, the Moneyline shows the Ravens at -400 and the Cardinals at +325. Additionally, the ATS line is set at Ravens -8.5, and the Over/Under (O/U) stands at 44.5 points.

The Cardinals suffered a 20-10 loss on the road against Seattle, entering this matchup as 10-point underdogs. On the other hand, the Ravens are riding high with two consecutive victories, the most recent being a 38-6 home W against Detroit.

Hold your nose on this one. The Cards are the move here though as this is an interesting spot. 

Baltimore caught all the attention after their throttling last week against the Lions. Baltimore looked like they were a top team in the entire league, dominating on both sides of the ball. 

This is a bit of a trap spot. Everyone will see this and look at the 1-6 Cards and think it's an easy win for the Ravens. But this is a big let down spot. Arizona went toe to toe with the Seahawks last week in a low scoring game. Arizona can lean on their defense here and try to force some long yardage situations for this Ravens offense.

If they can sustain drives offensively and slow the tempo down, they'll have this Ravens team frustrated. We're playing this to be a low scoring game and for it to be close throughout. Weather won't be a factor.

A trend to note, Baltimore are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against Arizona, also, Arizona is winning the turnover differential here at +1. The Ravens are -3. So there's that.

HOME DOGS FTW. Back the Desert Dogs on Sunday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play

Cowboys -6

Sunday, it's the Rams (3-4, 4-2-1 ATS) versus the Cowboys (4-2, 4-2 ATS). The game will start at 1:00 PM ET in Arlington, TX, at AT&T Stadium. You can watch it on FOX. In their previous games, the Rams lost 24-17 to the Steelers, and the Cowboys beat the Chargers 20-17.

The latest betting odds are as follows: Cowboys are favored to win with a Moneyline of -276, while the Rams have a Moneyline of +224. The Cowboys are also favored by -6 on the Spread, and the Total points O/U is set at 45.5.

Dallas is the move here.

The Cowboys have found some consistency and now they return home where they have played just twice this year. Typically, the Cowboys have had success in the past at home and now they will see a string of games where most will be inside this building. 

This Dallas side will lean on their defense. They rank third in the NFL in total defense, allowing just 288.7 yards per game. They should be able to have the Rams on their heels, as they love to put together a lot of different blitz packages. 

Look for them to force Los Angeles into some long yardage situations and get off the field on third down.

When these two teams have faced off before, the Cowboys have won 15 times in regular-season games and 4 times in the playoffs, while the Rams have won 13 regular-season games and lost 5 playoff games against them.

The Cowboys are averaging 25.67PPG, the Rams 22.14PPG. The Cowboys only allow 16PPG, the Rams 20PPG. Cowboys are 6-4 vs. the Rams in the L10 averaging 28PPG to LAR's 20PPG in those L10 games.

Some trends to note, Rams are 5-13 SU in their L18 games, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games when playing on the road against Dallas. On the other side Dallas are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games, are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games, and lastly they're 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home.

I'm on the Boys on Sunday -6. They'll win this by 10+.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Panthers +3.5

On Sunday, the Texans (3-3, 4-2 ATS) will face off against the Panthers (0-6, 0-5-1 ATS) in a game that features rookie quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young. The matchup will take place at 1:00 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC and will be broadcast on FOX. The Panthers are coming into this game after a bye week, following a 42-21 loss to the Dolphins in Week 6. Meanwhile, Houston also had a bye week and are coming off a 20-13 W over the Saints.

In terms of odds, the Texans are favored with a -185 Moneyline (straight up odds), while the Panthers stand at +150. The Texans are also favored by 3.5 points against the spread (ATS), and the over/under (total points) is set at 43.5.

The Panthers are looking to right this ship and find the win column. This is the perfect matchup as they take on a Texans team that isn't overpowering by any means.

Carolina can find success here on both sides of the ball. The Texans rank 25th in the NFL on the ground, as they have been extremely inconsistent. The lack of rushing attack will play into the Panthers favor here, as they know Houston will have a tough time moving the ball. 

Look for this game to be a grind it out kind of one, where the Panthers will have to sustain drives and keep this offense on the field. With two similar styles, it should be close throughout here. 

Carolina has still exceeded 20 points on three different occasions this year, so they can put their share of points up. 

Weather won't be a factor.

The Texans come in averaging 22.5PPG, Carolina 18PPG. The Texans allow 18PPG, and the Panthers 31PPG. 

I'm backing Bryce Young to be the better of the two rookie QB's this week. A new play caller during the bye week is the medicine he needed. The Panthers however are a top 10 team in the Redzone. So, they've got that going for them. 

Looking at their past encounters, these two haven't faced each other often. The Panthers hold a 4-2 all-time record against Houston, with a 1-1 record at home and they're also 3-1 away. 

Some trends to note, Houston are 5-13 SU in their L18 games, and they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games against Carolina. On the other side the Panthers are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5 games as a home underdog of 0.5 to 3, and finally they're 10-1 SU in their L11 games against an opponent in the AFC South.

Carolina could win this outright and get off the schneid. 

Take the Panthers on Sunday and grab the points. (All of em')

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

San Jose State -10.5

The Spartans (3-5, 5-2-1 ATS) and the Warriors (2-6, 1-6 ATS) are set to face off on a late Saturday night at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu, HI. This matchup features two Mountain West Conference (MWC) teams. In terms of betting, the Spartans are favored by -10.5 to -11 points, with an over/under total line of 61.5. For those looking at the moneyline, SJST stands at -415, while Hawaii is at +355.

Hawaii is coming off a 42-21 loss to New Mexico, while the Spartans are entering this game fresh from a 42-21 victory over the Utah State Aggies.

San Jose State is the play late Saturday.

If you're looking for a late night bail out, look no further. 

The final game on the board sends San Jose State into Hawaii at midnight eastern time. We're backing the visitors here, as they are coming in with a ton of confidence. 

The Spartans have won back to back games and they/ve done it in dominant fashion. They've averaged 47 points per game in those two wins as New Mexico State and Utah State had no chance. 

They were able to establish the ground game, which wore down the opposition. They got things going early, which wore down the opposing defenses. They should be able to do the same to Hawaii here, who has had a ton of issues stopping the run. 

SJSU QB Chevan Cordeiro will also have a lot of incentive here. He transferred from Hawaii and will look to beat his old team in a stadium he has plenty of experience in. 

SIDENOTE: I was at this game in Hawaii a few years ago just before COVID shut down the world (while on a family vacation) and let me tell you. SJST travels well. There were some good scraps in the stands! This may feel like a travelling "home game" for them. LOL

Some trends to note, Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their L4 road games, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6. For Hawaii, they're 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 games overall, and they're 0-4 ATS in their L4 games as a dog.

Aloha! We're backing the Spartans in Honolulu on Saturday night. A nice bail you out play! (Hopefully)

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin +14.5

The Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0 in the Big Ten, with a 4-3 ATS record) are set to face the Wisconsin Badgers (5-2, 3-1, and 2-4-1 ATS) this Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on NBC. Taking a glance at the betting odds, the Moneyline (ML) shows Ohio State as the favorite at -630, while Wisconsin stands at +450. The point spread (ATS) favors Ohio State by -14 points, and the Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 44.5.

In their recent matchups, the Buckeyes secured a 20-12 victory over Penn State in a thrilling top-10 showdown at The Horseshoe. Meanwhile, the Badgers faced a setback, losing 15-6 to Iowa in Madison two weeks ago, but they bounced back with a 25-21 road win against Illinois in Week 8.

We're on Wisconsin here, with the points.

A night game, at Camp Randall, with a top team in the country coming in. This has the makings of a trap game following the Nittany Lions game for the Buckeyes. Ohio State's win wasn't pretty, but they continued their trek toward the Playoff.

This is the kind of game where they need to be careful. Wisconsin isn't going to wow anyone by any means. However, they have the ability to frustrate opposing teams. They establish the run game per usual and if they can get it going, things are going to get dicey. The Badgers can wear teams down and then you combine a night crowd here and this is a spot where they can keep things close.

Wisconsin can keep the ball out of the Buckeyes offensive hands and slow this game down to a tempo they favor. Ohio State looked great vs. Penn St. but the Badgers present some different challenges for sure.

Some trends to note, Badgers are 10-1 ATS in their L11 games as a home underdog, and are 4-1 SU in their L5 games, finally, they're 8-3 SU in their L11 games played in October.

Back the Badgers here on Saturday. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Grizzlies -110

The Grizzlies, with a record of 0-2 (1-1 ATS), will face off against the Wizards, who are currently 0-1 (0-1 ATS). This one tips off at 7:00PM ET in Washington D.C. at the Capital One Arena, and you can catch it on TV MNMT. The Grizzlies are slightly favored by just 1.5 points in this game, and the total points expected to be scored in the match is 227 (the O/U).

Starting the season didn't go as planned, did it? Washington kicked off their season with a tough loss to Indiana, the score ending 143-120. Memphis, on the other hand, had the first of their back-to-back games and fell short losing 108-104 to Denver Friday. (they did cover) This line has moved in our favor. I was ready to lock in Memphis at -1.5, but I'll gladly take a PK (-110) ATS price.

Memphis will have the advantage here. Washington is going to be in store for a long season. The Wizards come in 0-1 after allowing 142 points in regulation against the Pacers. The loss featured basically zero defensive effort as they allowed a lot of easy buckets and open shooting lanes.

Memphis has had their hands full with the Pelicans and Nuggets to start, so this will be a bit of a breath of fresh air almost. The Grizzlies are deep as a team as they saw all 5 starters score in double digits last time out.

They should be able to turn defense into offense and attack this Washington defense, similar to what the Pacers did.

Some trends to note, the Grizz are 8-4 ATS in their L12 games against the WIZ, and they're 6-2 SU in their L8 games against Washington. The WIZ are 1-6 SU in their L7 games, and they're 4-9 SU in their L13 games at home.

No Shamet or Davis for WASH on Saturday. OBV. No Morant for Memphis.

Back the Grizzlies on Saturday night. They're the better team here. They'll spoil the Wizards home opener.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cal +10.5

Saturday brings an interesting clash between USC (6-2, 2-1 on road) vs. California (3-4, 2-2 at home). This one kicks off at 4pm ET at the California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, CA. Catch the excitement on TV on the Pac-12 Network. USC holds the upper hand with an 11-point advantage. If you're considering the moneyline, USC is at -457, while California is at +335. For those interested in totals betting, the Over/Under is set at 67.5 points.

After last week's loss to Utah I'm not sure USC has much left in the tank. Plus that loss all but ended their playoff hopes too! Not how Caleb Williams drew this season up.

The schedule USC has played in 2023 has been a grind. They're tired and are allowing over 30PPG, and the fatigue is showing. AND it's not over yet. (USC still has UW, Oregon and UCLA on the schedule)

CAL is coming into this one rested and off a bye week. That's a huge advantage at this point of the season. Especially for game-planning purposes. I'm expecting a run-heavy game by the Bears. Jaydn Ott will get the ball early and often. Ball control is the name of the game here.

In 2022 Cal gave USC all they could handle losing 41-35. I'm not sure I expect this many points on Saturday but I think Cal could win this one outright. If not outright, chances are HIGH for an ATS cover. 

Some trends to note, USC hasn't done well lately. They're 0-5 in their L5 ATS, and they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 vs. CAL. USC also isn't a fan of October. Losing 8 of their L10 in Oct. Plus the Golden Bears are 4-0 ATS in their L4 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.5.

Back the Bears on Saturday as home dogs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NCAA ATS Play

Utah +6.5

The 9th-ranked Ducks (6-1, 5-1-1 ATS) are set to face off against the 13th-ranked Utes (6-1, 4-1-1 ATS) in a Pac-12 showdown Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. The Ducks are favored by 6.5 points, and the Over/Under Total for the game is set at 48. For those interested in the moneyline, Oregon is at -250, while Utah stands at +203.

Utah's recent game was a thrilling 34-32 victory against the USC Trojans, a match I watched closely and can attest to the Utes' prowess. On the other hand, the Ducks are entering this matchup fresh off a 38-24 triumph over the WSU Cougars.

We're playing Utah here, as they continue to find a ton of success.

This team just is consistent at giving everyone frustrations and putting up good performances. They come in with all the momentum right now as well, after beating USC on a last second field goal. Every week, they get a different hero and they match up well with this Oregon side.

The Ducks are going to play at an uncomfortable pace. The Utes slow things down and will look to move the chains on drives. That will have Oregon off their game, as they will struggle to find any sort of rhythm.

Despite the slow pace, the Utes still can put up big plays too. They have scored over 30 in back to back weeks and should find plenty of success against Oregon's defense that has plenty of issues to deal with.  

They also have the coaching advantage here. I know I know Ducks fans...you disagree with me. BUT Kyle Whittingham for my money is the best college football coach in the nation!

COME AT ME BRO! LOL

Some trends to note, Utah are 6-1 SU in their L7 games, and are a mind-blowing 18-0 SU in their L18 games at home, and finally they're 17-3 SU in their L20 games against an opponent in the Pac-12 conference.

We're backing the Utes again this week after cashing on them in Week 8.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Wake Forest +21

There's a big game this Saturday between two different teams that look to be going in different directions in 2023. The FSU Seminoles (7-0, 5-0 ACC, 5-2 ATS) are playing against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-3, 1-3 ACC, 3-4 ATS) at noon ET on ABC at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium in Winston-Salem.

The latest betting info on the ML has FSU as a -1400 favorite (Risk $1400 to win $100?) But if you choose Wake Forest and they win, you'd get $800 for your $100. If you like point spreads, Florida State is -21 ATS, and the total points expected in the game is 51.5. 

These teams have been playing since 1956. Florida State has won 30 times, Wake Forest 9 times, and they tied 1x. When FSU plays in Winston-Salem, they've won 9/14. Wake has won 3x in a row recently vs. FSU.

Wake Forest catches Florida State in a nice spot here. This could be the kind of game where FSU doesn't come out with the same intensity as they've had in the recent weeks. 

The Demon Deacons also get back QB Mitch Griffis, who has been able to produce some good games here thus far. This offense works far better with him calling the shots and they should find some success against this Noles defense. 

Given the look ahead spot here, the Seminoles are going to not be as aggressive. They were taken to the brink against the Blue Devils last week and now they go down a step in competition.

Wake should be able to keep this close and find the end zone a few times, putting a little pressure on FSU. 

Some trends to note, FSU are 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 games against Wake, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite of 10.5 or greater. On the other side Wake Forest are 17-3 SU in their L20 games at home, and WF is 13-3 SU in their L16 games in OCT.

Wake Forest will do all they can to keep this one within the number on Saturday. +21 is there for the taking. +20.5 is OK too.

I'm on Wake Forest +21 this weekend.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Kings -2.5

The Kings, who have won one game and lost none, are hosting the Warriors, who have lost one game and won none. They are playing a late-night game on the West Coast at the Golden 1 Center, starting at 10:00 PM Eastern Time.

Initially, the Kings were favored to win by just 1 point, but now they are favored by 2.5 points. In terms of NBA betting odds, the Kings are getting -2.5. On the ML, Sacramento at -117 and Golden State at -103 (if you prefer straight-up winner bets). The over/under total points for the game is set at 238, down from the initial 239.

Tonight, it's a revenge game in Sacramento. The Warriors beat the Kings 120-100 in the playoffs last year, knocking them out in Game 7. This Kings side is going to be good. They have an amazing mix of a young core with talented vets as they continue to push toward another postseason after falling to these Warriors last year. Sacramento plays with a ton of pace and it makes opponents just so uncomfortable. They had the Jazz on tilt all night long in their opener as they throttled them by throwing up 130 points in the victory.

On Wednesday, the Kings played their first game of the season against Utah and won 130-114 while they were away from home. Barnes was the top scorer with 33 points, making 5 out of 7 three-point shots.

Chris Paul had his first game in Golden State, but it didn't go too well. He got nine assists but missed all six of his three-point shots and ended up with 14 points, which was just okay.

When it comes to scoring, Golden State was the second-best team last season, averaging 118.9 points per game. On the other hand, the Kings were the top-scoring team, averaging 120.7 points per game.

This figures to be another game where they can get the Warriors on their heels, especially with the injury issues to Green. We're on the Kings on Friday night to take down Steph and his shorthanded Warriors. (Green will be OUT)

Some trends to note, Kings are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games as a home favorite of 0.5 to -4.5. The Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their L7 games as an underdog, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games. Lastly the Warriors are 5-15 ATS in their L20 on the road.

The Kings will play quick and come out with extra incentive here in this matchup. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -3

The Cavaliers, who won their first game, are playing against the Thunder, who also won their first game, on Friday at 7:30 pm ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. In the last season, these teams played two games and each won one.

Here are the NBA game chances for tonight. To win outright, Thunder has +134 odds, while Cavaliers have -158 odds. The spread favors the Cavaliers -3.5, and the total points O/U is 226.5. The odds in Vegas are pretty tight.

The Cavs have value here as they open their home campaign against the Thunder on Friday night. 

Both teams looked pretty darn good in their openers. Cleveland comes in 1-0 after quite the come back in the final 2 minutes against Brooklyn on Wednesday. Cleveland trailed by 4 and Donovan Mitchell took matters into his own hands as he forced a key turnover and hit a huge 3 ball to give Cleveland the win.

Max Strus the smooth shootin' DePaul SG joined Cleveland and contributed 7 three pointers in the win as he figures to play a huge part in this offense. You'll remember he helped the Heat bigtime on their way to the finals last year averaging 11.5PPG. The Cavs are hoping for more of the same. They should be much more potent from deep in 2023/24 and they had 17 3's overall.

The Thunder haven’t started the season 2-0 since 2016 and they were a struggle of a road team last year, and ultimately missed out on the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row. They're hoping to improve on their 40 win season, and will be riding the two Canadians and an Aussie. Dort, SGA, and #2 pick Chet Holmgren. 

Cleveland should be able to control the tempo of this game and with this low of a line, there’s value. 

A couple trends to note, OKC are 1-4 SU in their L5 games against Cleveland, and are 3-6 ATS in their L9 games on the road.

Last year's scores 110-102 Cavs win, and a 112-100 Thunder W.

Back the Cavs in their home opener.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Bills -9

In Week 8, it's the Buccaneers (3-3) versus the Bills (4-3) on Amazon's TNF. They'll be facing off at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, NY, with kickoff set for 8:15pm ET. The Moneyline (ML) offers the Bucs at +320 and the Bills at -405 for those who prefer straight up bets. ATS lines, the Bills are favored by -9, and the Over/Under (O/U) is set between 42.5 up to 43.5.

Last games for each saw Buffalo suffer a 29-25 defeat on the road against the Patriots, while the Bucs had a disappointing 16-13 loss to the Falcons. Weather won't be a factor. Game time temps call for low 70's, and no rain.

For starters the Bucs can't run the ball, so that makes them 1-dimensional. Buffalo, while banged up should be licking their chops to come after Baker on Thursday in Full Old School Buffalo Blitzkrieg mode. (Is Bruce Smith available?) Baker is going to have to go full on check-down Baker to move the ball on Thursday night.

The Bucs have lost 3 of 4 and this could be one of the last times we see Baker Mayfield at QB. *YES* it's that bad! Check out their injury report. They can't run the ball (as I said) as it is, now they have O-lineman missing games (likely 2), and their best defensive player Vita Vea is a possible GTD. 

The Bills are a top 15 team in the NFL in both Passing and Rushing, and they're #2 in points scored. Allen is having a solid season, currently 5th in the NFL for passing yards with 1,841 in 7 games. Averaging 263YPG with a 70% completion rate. He also has tossed 15 TD's to only 7 INT's. (3 weren't his fault) These are numbers Baker just can't touch, and there's just no way TB can keep up with Buffalo on the scoreboard. 

Some trends to note, Buffalo are 12-4 SU in their L16 games, and they're 15-3 SU in their L18 games at home. On the other side TB are 4-10 ATS in their L14 games, and are 0-6 ATS in their L6 games against AFC teams.

Bills win by 12+.

We're backing the Bills ATS on Thursday Night Football. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

TNF 8* NFL ATS Play

76ers +6

Get ready for an exciting Thursday night NBA showdown this week as the 76ers take on the Bucks on opening night for each team. The action kicks off at 7:30 PM ET on TNT at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI.

If you're into betting, here are the numbers you need: The Bucks are favored by -5.5 points according to the ATS odds, and the over/under is set at 224.5. For those looking to bet on the winner, the Bucks have -225 odds, while the 76ers stand at +205.

The play for Thursday is the Bucks +6. 

There is so much buzz surrounding this Bucks team as they kick off their season against the 76ers on Wednesday.

We're backing the visitors here, with the points. Road dogs!

We've typically seen in the past, when new players join and there is a lot of hype, it takes a little bit of time to get the chemistry going. There's no doubt that this Bucks team is going to be one of the best in the league. But opening up against a very physical Philadelphia team is not going to be easy.

The 76ers will play through Embiid, per usual. The big center can do it all and will frustrate this Milwaukee defense.

This game is going to be close throughout, with the 76ers having a chance to steal it outright. 

Some trends to note, (obviously these trends date back to last season) Philadelphia are 9-4 SU in their L13 games, and they're 6-2 SU in their L8 games on the road. Milwaukee are 1-6 SU in their L7 games, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7. 

Back the 76ers on the road to start their season. They'll keep it close.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Va Tech -3

Get ready for an ACC showdown as the Hokies (3-4, 2-1 ACC, 3-3-1 ATS) take on the Orange (4-3, 0-3, 4-3 ATS) in college football Week 9. The odds for this game favor the Hokies at -3, with the total points expected at 47. If you're into straight-up betting, the odds stand at Orange +120 and Hokies -142.

The Hokies have been on a decent streak, winning two out of their last three games, while the Orange are on a three-game losing skid in ACC conference play. Both teams had a bye in Week 8. In their previous outings, the Hokies secured a solid 30-13 victory against WF, while the Orange suffered a tough 41-3 loss to the Seminoles.

Virginia Tech is the play on Thursday!

We get a small line here on the Hokies, at home.

Virginia Tech comes in 3-1 this season at home and with a night game on a Thursday, this crowd should be rocking to Enter Sandman.

The Orange have just been far too inconsistent to trust as well. They come 4-3 overall, but they're just 1-2 on the road. They limp into play after being just knocked around by the Tar Heels and the Seminoles in the past two weeks. We've seen them struggle at times on the defensive end, which knocks them out of their rhythm on the other side of the ball.

Virginia Tech should be able to dictate the pace here. Look for them to wear down this Syracuse defensive line and eventually start to get a big push up front.

Weather looks good call it high 60's low 70's at game time, and no chance of rain.

Some trends to note, Syracuse are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road, and they're 2-4 ATS in their L6 games when playing on the road against Va. Tech.

The Hokies are the better team here and they're laying a small number.

Back the Hokies on Thursday night!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UTEP +3.5

On Wednesday it's a Conference USA football matchup featuring the UTEP Miners, currently holding a 2-6 record overall and 1-3 in their conference. They had a disheartening 28-7 defeat to New Mexico State last week. On the other hand, Sam Houston, with a winless 0-7 record overall and 0-4 in conference play, is seeking their first victory after a tough 33-27 overtime loss at home to FIU. 

The game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. According to the current live odds, Sam Houston is favored by 3.5 points, and the over/under for total points scored is set at 36. For those interested in straight-up betting, the moneyline odds stand at -177 for Sam Houston and +148 for UTEP.

We're on UTEP here, as they get points on the road. 

This is the pure fact off taking a team going against a winless team and getting points. 

Sam Houston State is 0-7 this year and while they've continued to be close in games, they still can't find a way to win. They've continued to fail in clutch time and with another game expected to be close, we're going to see this one go either way. 

UTEP isn't a pushover either. While they have just 2 wins, one of those was a win a few weeks ago on the road. They have played well at times on the defensive end and will lean on their defense to make some big plays here.

Look for this to be close throughout, with the points being the move here.

Some trends to note, UTEP are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played in October. On the other side, Sam Houston State are 0-10 SU in their last 10 games, and they're 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in CUSA.

Back UTEP ATS on Humpday!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
