Washington +4.5

The #2 Washington Huskies (13-0, 7-6 ATS) take on the #3 Texas Longhorns (12-1, 6-6-1 ATS) in the CFB Playoff Semi Final on New Year's Day. This game will be played at 8:45 ET January 1st from the Caesar's Super Dome in New Orleans, LA. The game opened with UW a +4 underdog at UT (-4pt favorite) and the O/U is set at 64. Unfortunately for UW fans they'll have to travel to New Orleans instead of their preferred Rose Bowl closer to home in Pasadena CA. Not sure why the committee did that. But it is what it is. Last game for UT, they won 49-21 in the Big 12 Championship game vs. OKST. For Washington, last game out they won the Pac 12 Championship in Las Vegas, taking down Oregon 34-31. (Washington covered the +9.5, and the line went UNDER the 65). In case you forget, there's some intrigue with this matchup. Steve Sarkisian (current UT Coach) used to be the HC at Washington from 09-13. This game is also a rematch from the 2022 Alamo Bowl, where we saw UW defeat the Longhorns 27-20 in San Antonio. In that matchup UT scored 10 late points but behind Penix's arm (287 yards and 2 TD's) UW got the job done. UW also got the job done on the ground in that one. In this game though I think the Huskies will have their greatest chance to cover this spread vs. UT via the pass. UW is the best passing attack in the country. Can UT's frosh corner(s) play mistake free football? Sure, UT have some dudes on their DLine, but I like how the Dawgs match up in the trenches to give Penix time. UW have faced the Ducks twice. Those 2 games have prepared the Huskies for what UT will bring on defense. What did they do to them? They ran screens and routes going sideline to sideline, AND they mixed in an explosive run-game combined with play-action. Expect a game plan that keep's UT on their toes all game long. Penix will be relentless. OU beat Texas this year, and that's exactly what UW is going to do in this one. UW's plan will be to wear down the UT defense. I just don't see a scenario where Texas covers this spread (+4.5). Trends, UW are 10-0 SU L10, and 5-1 ATS L6 when playing as an underdog. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday New Year's Day 8* ATS Play

Alabama +2

We're going with the UNDERDOGS in the CFB Playoffs when the #4 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1, 9-4 ATS) take on the #1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0, 7-5-1 ATS) in the 2024 Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Bama jumped up to #4 from #8 after their takedown of the #1 ranked Georgia in the SEC title game. Michigan got here with pretty much a "practice" game against the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship. These two last met up in the 2020 Citrus Bowl. Michigan lost 35-16, but most "experts" will say this isn't the same Alabama team, I'd argue it's not that much different. They're still coached by Saban, and they play his brand of ball. On the other side Michigan hasn't had much luck in the bowls the last couple years. 2022 they lost to TCU, and in 2021 it was a loss to Georgia. Here's the tale of the tape for this one. Scoring: Michigan (14th) 36.7PPG, Alabama (19th) 35.1PPG. Defense: Michigan (1st) 9.5PPG, Alabama (17th) 18.4PPG. Total offense: Michigan (68th) 380.5YPG, Alabama (54th) 401.2YPG. Total defense: Michigan (2nd) 239.2YPG, Alabama (18th) 313.3PPG. As you can see, not much separates these two. This is only the second time in the Saban era that Bama are dogs in B2B games, and now that they've had the dog feeling, they'll have that dog mentality for this matchup. Saban is a master at playing the "they're disrespecting us angle" and play it he will. The last 4 times Bama were dogs (vs. UG) the Tide are 3-1 ATS. These two teams are the top 2 teams to win the national title too, so remember the futures bets that play into this one. Bama is one of the nations most popular teams to bet on (we all know that) and their lines are routinely inflated but in this case its warranted. What has Harbaugh done lately in bowl games? He needs to show me more before I'll bet on him. Sorry Jim. Trends, Bama 5-1 L6, 10-0 SU L10, 8-1 ATS L9 vs. Big Ten teams, and 4-1 ATS L5 as an underdog. Flip it and Michigan is 1-4 L5 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Lock in Bama, grab some roses for your significant other and smile at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

They haven't met in 20 years. The last matchup was Bowden vs. Richt's 2022 Sugar Bowl. A 26-13 Georgia win. In their recent matchups, the Bulldogs faced a tough challenge against Alabama, falling short with a final score of 27-24 in the SEC Championship game. On the other hand, the Seminoles are coming off a solid win against Louisville, 16-6 in the ACC title matchup. Let's take a closer look at the stats. Georgia ranks 7th in scoring, with an average of 38.4 PPG. However, they are 97th in points allowed in the NCAA. On the other hand, Florida State's offense is performing well, averaging 37 PPG, which places them 9th in the NCAA. Defensively, Florida State is currently 54th in points allowed, giving up 15.9 PPG. Trends, FSU are 10-0 L10, 4-1 L5 vs. SEC teams, 6-1 SU L7 DEC games, 16-0 L16 Saturday games, and 7-1 ATS L8 games as a DOG. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* Orange Bowl ATS Play

Notre Dame -6

#21 vs. #15. The games are getting better aren't they? Friday we get the (8-4, 6-6 ATS) Oregon State Beavers taking on the (9-3, 8-3-1 ATS) Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Kicking off at 2 pm ET on CBS. ND closed the regular season with impressive back-to-back wins, defeating Stanford 56-23 as 26-point favorites. Their offense has been prolific, scoring 45+ points in 4  of the last 5 games, while their defense allows just 16.6 PPG. Missing players or not, ND are the better all-around team here on Friday. Oregon State faces a challenging matchup after losing to top-10 ranked teams in their recent 2 games. The history, the Fighting Irish have a historical bowl game record of 20-21, which includes a perfect 1-0 record at the Sun Bowl. In contrast, Oregon State holds a solid 12-7 bowl game record, with an impressive 2-0 record specifically in games played in El Paso. The Fighting Irish boast superior overall team talent and a stronger presence at the line of scrimmage compared to what the Beavers will bring to the field on Friday. Notre Dame is battle-tested and highly motivated to make a statement in this game. It has the potential to turn into a lopsided contest of monumental proportions, and I doubt we'll be nervously watching as the clock ticks down in the fourth quarter. It's just a shame we don't get Hartman vs. Uiagalelei! Trends, OST are 1-4 ATS L5, and 1-4 L5 games in DEC. ND are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 9-2 SU L11 vs Pac 12 schools, and they're 5-2 SU L7 in DEC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAF Sun Bowl ATS Play

Arizona -2.5 (Love -2 or -1.5 even more)

Winning night on my Wednesday Bowl plays! Back for more Thursday. Time for the 2023 Valero Alamo Bowl featuring the (9-3) Arizona Wildcats vs. Oklahoma Sooners (10-2). Kick off is at 9:15pm ET from Alamodome, in San Antonio, TX. These two have played each other 2x thru the years. They've split the series 1-1. The Sooners are playing in their 25th straight bowl matchup, while the Wildcats return after not playing in a bowl since 2017. Arizona's impressive journey, from 1-11 in 2021 to 8 wins, marks a historic turnaround. Fueled by a convincing 59-23 victory over ASU, the Wildcats aim to sustain their momentum. They come in red hot and they take on a new look Oklahoma side on Thursday night. The Sooners saw Dillion Gabriel walk out the door and head to Oregon and they’re going to turn to their future, true freshman Jackson Arnold. He’s up for a tall task against this Arizona team that is playoff at such a top level. The Wildcats finished the season winning 6 straight games and the most points allowed in one of those games was just 24. This Arizona defense is going to pin their ears back and fire away on this true freshman in the backfield. Expect this defense, that gives up just 20.8 PPG, to really mix in different blitz packages. Offensively, they have been on fire since Noah Fifta took over. He’s been able to lead this offense during their winning streak with his ability to beat teams through the air. He threw for over 500 yards in the win over ASU into the season finale and will have a field day with this Sooners defense that has opt outs. Momentum and motivation are on the Wildcats side. Arizona, are battle-tested, and grabbed W's in 4/6 games against AP Top 25 teams during a rigorous season. Trends to consider, Arizona shines with a remarkable 7-1 ATS streak in their L8 and a flawless 8-0 SU record when favored. OU is 1-6 SU record in their L7 games as a dog. Back the Cats in the Alamo Bowl. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* ALAMO Bowl ATS Play

Oklahoma State +2.5

On Wednesday evening Dec 27th the Texas A&M Aggies (7-5, 5-6-1 ATS) take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-4, 7-6 ATS) in the 2023 Texas Bowl from the Texans' NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. Kick off is at 9pm ET. A&M are 1-0 neutral site this season, while OKST are 0-1. Opening betting odds favored the Aggies -2 in this one, while the initial O/U total was set at 53. For straight up ML bettors you'll get Texas A&M (-136), Oklahoma State (+114). A&M owns a 18-9 series record vs. the Cowboys. The last time they played each other was 12/27/19, a 24-21 Aggies victory. Before that game, the Cowboys had won 4 straight. (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 as Big 12 foes) In recent games, the Aggies lost 42-30 to LSU but surprisingly outgained the top-ranked offense 390-389, showcasing their impressive #8 ranked defense. The Cowboys, on the other hand, suffered a 49-21 defeat against Texas in the Big 12 championship game. Despite winning 7 of 8 leading up to the championship, Oklahoma State was dominated by Texas, with the Longhorns scoring on their first 4 possessions for a decisive W. They simply were too good for OKST. Stats: Oklahoma State is ranked 51st for rushing yards and 24th for passing yards, averaging 264.2 yards per game. They score 29.5 PPG (37th) and allow the 20th fewest points. Texas A&M averages 34.2 PPG (26th) on offense and concedes 21.3 PPG (74th) on defense. Trends, Oklahoma State boasts a 6-3 ATS record in their L9 games and a 7-2 SU record during that span. They've excelled as underdogs, going 4-1 ATS in their L5 such games. In contrast, Texas A&M has struggled, with a 1-5-1 ATS record in their L7 games and 0-5-1 ATS against Oklahoma State. Additionally, Texas A&M holds a 1-4 SU record in their L5 matchups with Oklahoma State and a 3-7 ATS record in their L10 games against Big 12 conference opponents. You know what to do. Hop ON! Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* Texas Bowl ATS Play

USC +6.5 (Love +7 if you can find it)

In the 2023 Directv Holiday Bowl, the Cardinals (10-3, 2-1 Neutral Site, 6-6-1 ATS) will face USC (7-5, 3-9 ATS). USC has a 1-2 record in past Holiday Bowl appearances and has never met Louisville before. The San Diego weather for game time is expected to be in the 60s to low 70s and light 5mph winds. USC appears to have the edge in explosiveness, averaging 41.8 PPG, ranking 6th nationally, and 329.8 passing yards per game, also ranking 6th. We’re on the Trojans here in the Holiday Bowl. USC had probably the most disappointing season as Caleb Williams continued to put up impressive numbers but this USC defense failed him on many occasions. From National Championship aspirations to now the Holiday Bowl with all these opt outs, the line is what it is for a reason. However, motivation is still on the side of this USC team. They have a pool of talented young players who are eager to get their shot. Truthfully, it’s better having them play than the veterans who struggled all season. The Trojans will turn to Miller Moss at QB and he’s going to take on a dejected Louisville side themselves. The Cardinals overachieved without a doubt. They however, have to be disappointed as they wanted to be playing in a New Years Six Bowl, but failed to take down Florida State in the ACC Championship game. The Cardinals sputtered down the stretch with losses to Kentucky and FSU. It’s so tough to even look at trends here given the opt outs on both sides. One thing we know though is Lincoln Riley will have this young group ready to go. This is a lot of points for a Trojans team that still has a ton of talent to go around. Trends, USC holds a 5-2 SU record in their last 7 matchups against ACC teams. I'm backing the Men Of Troy tonight. You know what to do. Fight On & Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* Holiday Bowl ATS Play

West Virginia -6

The 2023 Duke's Mayo Bowl will feature a showdown between the North Carolina Tar Heels (8-4, 1-0 Neutral Site, 6-6 ATS) and the West Virginia Mountaineers (8-4, 7-5 ATS). The game is scheduled for Wednesday at 5:30pm ET and will take place at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. We’re on the Mountaineers here, laying the points in this spot. North Carolina started off as one of the top teams in the NCAA, but finished with 4 losses and now have a date with the Mountaineer here in the Dukes Mayo Bowl. The key here is North Carolina will be without star QB Drake Maye and number 1 WR Devontez Walker. These two propelled the entire offense to their 8 wins and now they will have to turn to plenty of inexperienced players in this game. That doesn’t bode well against a WVU team that is extremely physical. The Mountaineers  finished the season with two impressive wins over Cinci and Baylor and they won 4 of the last 5 overall. Momentum is on the side of this team that averaged 32 ppg. They will have a majority of their roster playing here and should be able to overpower this UNC side. West Virginia will lean on their rushing attack, that averages 234.3 ypg, which is one of the best marks in the NCAA. Trends, North Carolina has struggled recently, going 1-5 ATS in their L6 games and holding a 3-7 SU record in December. In contrast, West Virginia is thriving with a 4-1 SU record and a perfect 5-0 ATS record against ACC opponents. I'm backing the Mountain Men in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* Duke's Mayo Bowl ATS Play

Kansas -12 (Love -11.5 if you can find it)

In Phoenix, AZ on December 26th from Chase Field it's the Guaranteed Rate Bowl featuring the Kansas Jayhawks (8-4, 5-4 Big 12, 7-5 ATS) vs. UNLV Runnin' Rebels (9-4, 6-2 MWC, 10-3 ATS). (Two basketball schools hammerin' it out on the gridiron! I can't wait!) The Jayhawks are the favorite by -12.5 (Open), and the total is set at 64.5. If you're a ML bettor (straight up, you'll see KU -466, and UNLV -347. Who's betting that? These two schools share a bit of history, although not extensive. Big 12 vs. MWC matchups are rare. Kansas and UNLV are set to meet for the third time. They previously faced off in a home-and-home series in 2002 and 2003. Kansas emerged victorious in the most recent encounter in 2003, with a score of 46-24. However, UNLV secured their inaugural matchup in Las Vegas in 2022, winning 31-20. One of my favorite teams to watch this year was the KU Jayhawks. They come into the Guaranteed Rate Bowl with some momentum too which is always a critical factor when I'm making bowl picks. I ask myself, do they have something to play for? In KU's case the answer is YES. They haven't won a bowl game in years and they have a good enough team this year to do it, and expectations are higher because of their 8 win season. They're tired of being KU basketball's little brother. They finished off their season with confidence after securing a 49-16 victory against the Cincinnati Bearcats on the road. A bowl win here would put a bow on an impressive season. They're building big things in the flatland. They're set at QB, and RB, and they have a handful of players who could even be playing on Sunday's in their future. This is a good looking football team. UNLV comes in off of a 10-win season sure, but they are limping into this one, and there's some obvious question marks for them in this game. The Rebels are coming off a defeat against the Boise State Broncos, with a final score of 44-20. They lost their last 2 in fact. It's their first bowl game in nearly 10 years too. To make matters worse, I'm reading QB Maiava is in the transfer portal, so that's another kick to the shins. Also, Barry Odom is aware there are a TON of NCAA coaching vacancies around the country, and his name is coming up for a lot of them. Money talks, and if it does he won't be around to coach this one more than likely. Trends: UNLV are 2-5 ATS in their L7 vs. B12 teams, and are 1-4 in their L5 December games. On the other side Kansas are 4-1 ATS L5, 8-4 SU L12, and 9-2 SU in their L11 playing as the FAV. I have KU as a 2-TD favorite. KU have the better QB, and they're the better team. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* Guaranteed Rate Bowl ATS Play

Utah -6

Utah (8-4, 6-5-1 ATS) take on the Northwestern Wildcats (7-5, 8-4 ATS) on Saturday at 7:30pm ET from Allegiant Stadium in LV. These two last played on 12/31/18. A 31-20 NW win that saw NW cover the +6.5 Saturday however, the Utes are the move here, laying the points in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl. Northwestern lacks the level of coaching expertise that Utah benefits from. Kyle Whittingham is widely regarded as one of the top head coaches in the nation. Prior to the 2023 season, he expressed confidence that the 2023 Utah team was the most talented they had ever assembled. Despite facing numerous injuries Utah has a clear cut advantage here on Saturday night. For starters, the Utes are going to have the advantage when it comes to the fan base in this stadium. Utah already travels well and with this being in Vegas, there should be plenty of red in the crowd. Northwestern just doesn't have any sort of fire power on their side. This team averages just 22.8 points per game, while putting up just over 300 yards per game. This offense has struggled to find any sort of consistency here in 2023 and they go up against one of the best defenses in the nation. Utah has allowed under 20 ppg and they love to put together a lot of different blitz packages. Utah's offense battled all year, they only really looked bad in 1 game (Oregon), but they continued to find consistency and put up good numbers. This is going to be a mismatch every which way you look at it. Utah is much better on both sides of the ball and they'll feed off this "home" crowd energy. NW are 3-6 L9 vs. PAC 12 teams, and 4-13 SU L17 as a DOG. The Utes are 14-6 SU L20, 5-0 SU L5 in DEC, 7-3 L10 SU vs B10 schools, and are 15-5 SU L20 playing on a Saturday. Backing the Utes -6. Enjoy the game! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl ATS Play

Air Force +1.5

The Armed Forces Bowl on December 23, 2023, features a matchup between the (11-1, 8-4 ATS) James Madison Dukes and the (8-4, 4-7-1 ATS) Air Force Falcons. The game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET and will be broadcasted on ABC. In their last appearance, the Dukes secured a dominant 56-14 win against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. On the other hand, the Falcons faced a 27-19 loss to the Boise State Broncos. Air Force has the value here, with the points. James Madison was the Cinderella story of the season. They went 11-1 and had the entire nation watching them as they even got College Gameday to come out their way. (Granted that was their lone loss of the year) However, despite a good season, the Dukes have been hit with a lot of departures prior to this game. For starters, head coach Curt Cignetti departed for Indiana and they’ll now have their offensive line coach calling the shots for this game. They’re going to get a look at this triple option from Air Force and it’ll be something they’ve not seen this season. That’ll cause a lot of issues for them, especially with the Falcons getting healthy. QB Zac Larrier will be back after missing the last two games. He’ll lead this attack that ranked second among FBS teams in total rushing yards (3,309) and rushing yards per game (275.8) during the regular season. The triple option will open a lot of gaps on this JMU defense that will get worn down. Plus, this is the 7th time Air Force will be playing in the Armed Forces bowl. The experience is there and on this side. Trends, AF are 5-1 ATS L6 in DEC, and are 4-0 ATS in their L4 bowl games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* Armed Forces Bowl ATS Play

UCF -6 

Two 6-6 teams battle it out here on Friday. (GT 7-5 ATS) (UCF 5-7 ATS) We’re on UCF here, laying the points in the Gasparilla Bowl on Friday night. UCF has made a living on this field in bowl season over the recent seasons. They are in search of their third Gasparilla Bowl win over the last five seasons, as they’re extremely familiar with this bowl game and field. That does play into the advantage side of things as the experience of being in this environment does factor in. UCF comes in 6-6 after winning their final game of the season to clinch a spot in bowl season. They’ve had a few impressive wins down the stretch of the season that saw them go 3-1 over their last 4, including an absolute dominant performance over #15 Oklahoma State 45-3. QB John Rhys Plumlee has battled injuries, but over his last 6 starts he’s compiled 10 touchdowns through the air and rushed for 310 yards and another 4 touchdowns on the ground. The Knights will also lean on RJ Harvey, who compiled nearly 1300 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns this year. Georgia Tech threw everything they had and then some in their finale against Georgia, only to fall short. The Yellow Jackets conceded over 30 points per game and this fast paced attack from UCF is going to cause a lot of issues for them. This will be the kind of game that Georgia Tech struggles to contain the speed and ultimately they falter because they’re not built to come from behind. GT are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. AAC teams, UCF 12-5 L17 playing at a FAV. You know what to do. UCF -6. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday Gasparilla Bowl 8* CFB ATS Play

USF +3

(6-6, 6-5 ATS) The USF Bulls take on the Syracuse Orange (6-6, 4-7 ATS) in the 2023 Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl this Thursday at 8 PM ET. The game will be held at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, FL, and the ATS Betting Lines favor Syracuse at -3. For the Boca Raton Bowl Moneyline Odds, USF is at +132, and Syracuse is at -160. The College Football Betting Total is set at O/U 61. This year's bowl games have been full of uncertainties, but this matchup seems less affected. USF has only one player in the transfer portal, Summerall, who is ruled out for this game. USF has proven they can play good football, coming off a convincing 48-14 win over Charlotte. Their offense averages 185.2 rushing yards per game and 4 yards per attempt, ranking 36th in rushing yards and 34th in passing yards nationally, with an average of 270.7 yards per matchup. They've been putting up 30.8 points per game, thanks to their QB, Byrum Brown, who boasts 3,078 passing yards, 23 TDs, 11 INTs, 745 rushing yards, and 11 TDs on the ground, placing them 44th in the nation. On the other side, Syracuse, who recently beat Wake Forest 35-31, will have an interim coach, Nunzio Campanile, leading them. Syracuse had a bit of some drama unfold prior to them being put into this spot. They decided to part ways with coach Dino Babers after a very inconsistent and sub par season. The Orange's starting QB, Garrett Shrader, is out for the Boca Raton Bowl due to shoulder surgery, and Braden Davis will start in his place. Boca Raton isn't that long of a trip so they'll have good support. (Compared to Cuse) I wouldn't even have a problem with you sprinkling a little on USF's moneyline odds here. USF needed a win over Charlotte in their last game and they got it in dominant fashion as they put them away 48-14. It was a complete win for them as they threw for 315 yards and ran for 188. This team runs a balanced attack and they use their run game to open up the pass game. USF is built with speed and they’ll try to get to the outside and make some big plays. USF has the better playmakers and getting points is a nice spot for this Bulls side. Trends, SYR 2-6 ATS L8, 2-6 SU L8, 2-8 ATS L10 vs. USF, and 5-11 ATS L16 vs. AAC Teams. Last time these two met was a 45-20 USF win on 9/17/2016. I'm expecting more of the same. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

California +2.5

The (6-6, 6-6 ATS) Cal Golden Bears take on the (6-6, 5-7 ATS) Texas Tech Red Raiders in the 2023 Independence Bowl from Independence Stadium, in Shreveport, LA this Saturday at 9:15pm ET. We’re backing Cal in the Independence Bowl as they take on Texas Tech. When looking at this, there’s a few factors to consider. Cal is excited to be here. This team was 3-6 heading into their matchup with Washington State. They needed a defensive stop in a shootout to hold off the Coogs in a 42-39 win. They then had to go on the road to beat Stanford and UCLA to become bowl eligible. Winning 3 in a row, they come in hot right now and are going to have all the motivation to be in this spot. On the flip side, Texas Tech comes in with no momentum. They limp in after getting throttled in what will be their final meeting with rival Texas for quite some time in a 50 point loss. Cal’s offense is going to be a problem in this one. They finished their season with performances for 42, 27, and 33 in their victories. They’re clicking on all cylinders right now and take on a Tech defense that has struggled at times this year. This is a matchup where they can open the playbook up and cause a lot of issues for this Red Raiders defense both on the ground and through the air. Some trends, Bears are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 as an underdog of 0.5-3.0 pts. Plus, CAL are 4-1 ATS L5, and 4-2 ATS L6 games played on Saturday's! TT are 2-4 ATS L6, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Bowl games as a favorite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB Independence Bowl ATS Play

UCLA -4

The (7-5, 5-7 ATS) Cal Golden Bears take on the (8-5, 7-4-2 ATS) Boise State Broncos in the 2023 LA Bowl (hosted by Gronk) from SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles, CA this Saturday at 7:30pm ET. The Bruins have value here on Saturday against Boise State. Some may think UCLA underachieved this year and while that’s true, this team is still going to be happy to be here. The Bruins did take down rival USC in dominant fashion here in 2023 and now a bowl win will be a bonus to end the season. Boise State is dealing with a lot of opt outs and injuries as well. The Broncos latest saw WR Eric McAlister transfer, leaving them another weapon down. This offense is going to struggle all night long here to move the ball as they simply do not have the weapons to keep up. The Bruins can lean on this defense too. They allowed just 18.1 points per game this season as they really fluster opposing defenses. They put together a lot of different blitz packages and force a lot of turnovers. They’re going to pin their ears back and come at this Boise State team, as they lack the weapons. Combine all this with this game being a home game for the Bruins with this played in California and they’ll have the crowd behind them. An added bonus is Gronk is expected to be in attendance. If that doesn’t get this team pumped, nothing will! Some trends BST 1-4 SU L5 vs. Pac 12 teams, 1-5 ATS L6 in DEC, and 1-5 SU L6 playing as a DOG. On the other side, UCLA 7-3 SU L10 vs. MWC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* LA Bowl ATS Play

Miami OH +6.5 (Circa)

I've had some good luck backing the RedHawks this season, and expect that trend to continue on Saturday when the (11-2, 10-3 ATS) Miami-Ohio RedHawks on the (8-5, 6-6-1 ATS) Appalachian State Mountaineers in the 2023 Cure Bowl from FBC Mortgage Stadium, in Orlando, FL this Saturday at 3:30pm ET. Miami OH is getting points here and it’s just too many to pass up on. They're looking for their 12th win which be only the second time getting this done. (The first was Ben Roethlisberger's team in 2003 that went 13-1). The Redhawks continue to be doubted and undervalued and they keep ignoring all of that and just winning. That was the case in the MAC Championship as they entered as 7 point underdogs and came away winners 23-14 in a game where their defense dominated. That has been the theme all year long for this Miami OH side as they are allowing just 16.2 points per game this year. During this 5 game winning streak, the most points allowed has been 16 and they even have a shut out to add to their resume. App State comes in on a low after Troy throttled them in the Sun Belt Championship. App State’s defense has been far too inconsistent this year and the Redhawks can certainly win the battle of possession. Look for this game to be a grind, which favors Miami. The Redhawks can dictate the possession and sustain drives, frustrating this App State side all night long. MIA-OH lost 24-20 to UAB in the Bahamas Bowl last year, while App ST. didn't play in a bowl game last season. Trends, M-OH are 10-2 ATS in their L12 games, are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played on a Saturday. Appalachian State are 1-6 ATS in their L7 in December, plus they're 3-10 ATS in their L13 when they're the favourite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* CFB Cure Bowl ATS Play

Jacksonville State -2.5

The (8-4, 8-3-1 ATS) Jacksonville State Gamecocks take on the (6-6, 5-7 ATS) ULL Rajin' Cajuns on Saturday at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA in the 2023 New Orleans Bowl. Kick off is at 2:15pm ET. Watch this one on ESPN. Jacksonville State has a lot of value in this spot. In Bowl games, motivation is everything. If you want one team that has all the motivation in the world coming into this game, then look no further. Jacksonville State is new to the FBS and this will be the first bowl game in program history. They got in on a technicality about there not being enough bowl worthy teams, but they won't care. They have a huge edge coaching wise too. Rich Rodriguez has seen plenty of bowl games throughout his coaching career as this will be his 12th bowl appearance. That holds a huge factor for us here in this spot on Jacksonville State. This team has played hard all year to get to this spot, as they finished with 8 wins overall. They averaged just 20 points against while putting up 28 as a team, as they play with a ton of pace. On the flip side, Louisiana will be playing in this bowl game for the 7th time in 12 years. The repetitiveness is going to play a factor for sure as this is no longer a special treat for them. Jacksonville State will lean on their defense, while this offense will open things up and take plenty of shots. We’re getting the better team at a nice number here. Jax State lost their regular-season finale 20-17 to New Mexico State. Meanwhile, the Ragin' Cajuns are headed to their 11th bowl game, becoming bowl eligible with a 52-21 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. Trends, ULL are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 following a straight up win. JVST are 4-1 ATS L5, and are 8-4 SU L12. Plus, they're 6-0 ATS in their L6 following an ATS loss. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* NCAAF ATS Play

Georgia Southern -3.5

Myrtle Beach Bowl time as the Georgia Southern Eagles (6-6, 4-8 ATS) face the Ohio Bobcats (9-3, 6-6 ATS) on Saturday from Brooks Stadium in Conway, SC. Kick off is at 11:00am ET. Betting lines favor Georgia Southern -3.5, with Ohio at +3.5, Moneyline odds Georgia Southern -169, Ohio +138, and an over/under of 49 points. In their latest matchup, the Eagles faced a tough defeat against the App State, falling 55-27. Meanwhile, the Bobcats secured a 25-14 victory against Akron. Sun Belt vs. MAC games are always exciting. Right? I'm on GASO in this one. When you see this list of names out for OHIO you'll realize why. Rourke, Harris, Bangura, Allison, Cross. All NOT playing in this one. Down to their 3rd string QB, and missing a couple 1000 yards of production from this past season. Georgia Southern boasts a potent offense, anchored by quarterback Davis Brin, who delivered an impressive regular season with 3,431 passing yards and 22 TD's. In the rushing department, Jalen White led the charge, accumulating 891 YDS & 9 TD's. They'll be in tough vs. an OHIO DEF. that was one of the better ones in college football, but bowl season brings us weird things on the field. Motivation is a massive x-factor for these games, and for my $, the motivation to win this matchup lies with GS. Their defense will do just enough to get them this cover. Trends, Bobcats are 2-4 ATS L6. GASO are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 Non-conference games. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray

Saturday 7* Myrtle Beach Bowl ATS Play

Miami-OH +7.5

Get ready for the 2023 MAC Conference Championship showdown! It's the (10-2) Miami (OH) RedHawks facing off against the (11-1) Toledo Rockets. The game is set for Saturday, December 2nd, at 12:00 ET, happening at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Let's talk numbers: The initial ATS Betting Line had Toledo favored by -8, but it's now adjusted to -7.5 as of Monday. On the Moneyline, Miami (OH) stands at +246, while Toledo is at -315. The Total is set at O/U 46.5. No matchup last year, but they did play each other earlier this season, and Toledo managed to secure a 21-17 victory. Miami owns a 28-23-1 series lead all time in this series. The first game played in 1936. The Redhawks are catching too many points in this spot. The MAC was as close as ever here in 2023 as it seemed like there were more teams than usual who were bunched together at times. However, Miami OH and Toledo were the two stand outs and the Red Hawks are right there with the Rockets. Miami OH comes in winners of 4 straight and their defense was easily one of the best in the conference. They rank 23rd in the entire nation in total defense giving up 322 yards per game. They come into this MAC Championship allowing 16.3 points per game. The Redhawks defense is going to be the difference maker here. They aren't going to allow anything easy and have a revenge factor after falling 21-17 to them earlier this season. That game was there for the taking and Miami wants this to be lower scoring. The RedHawks have been catching my eye lately. They'll have to prove to me that they CANNOT hang with Toledo, I think they can. Looking at the trends, it's clear Miami-OH have got some momentum. They've got a strong 9-2 ATS record in their L11 games and an impressive 10-1 SU record during that same stretch. So, my pick for this one is the underdog to cover the spread at +8. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

UW +9.5

2023 Pac 12 Championship Game. Ducks are -9.5pt favorites, the O/U is set at 66.5. ML bettors can get UW +275, and UO at -353. Is this the last time we see this game? Who knows...but I'm going to enjoy this one as the (11-1, 8-2-1 ATS) Oregon Ducks take on the (12-0, 5-6-1 ATS) Washington Huskies on Friday night from Las Vegas. Series History: In Seattle, Huskies are 33-23 with 4 ties. In games played in Eugene, Ducks are 18-14. Recently, the Ducks have been dominant, winning 20 out of 28. In the most recent head-to-head matchup between the teams, Washington picked up the 37-34 win (last year). Earlier this year Oregon suffered their only Pac-12 loss in dramatic fashion as UW scored a go-ahead TD with just over a minute left to win at Husky Stadium, 36-33. The Ducks had a big win last week, beating the Oregon State Beavers with a score of 31-7 in the CIVIL WAR. Meanwhile, the Huskies are coming off a solid victory in the APPLE CUP, where they defeated the Washington State Cougars 24-21. Get ready for an epic showdown as the two leading Heisman hopefuls face off once more! Check out these stats: Penix has racked up 3,899 passing yards, averaging 324.9 yards per game with a completion rate of 65.4%. He's thrown 32 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. On the other side, Nix boasts 3,906 passing yards, averaging 325.5 yards per game, with an impressive 78.6% completion rate. He's thrown an incredible 37 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions. Plus, Nix has added 159 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns to his name, carrying the ball 47 times. You know I'm locking in UW here. You're going to give me 9.5 points in a Championship game with a Heisman Trophy candidate leading the offense vs. a team they already beat 1x this year? I'm taking it. UO could win this straight up, but it's going to be close. There's nothing fishy in Seattle here with the spread, Vegas is trying to screw with you. Don't overthink this. Back the DAWGS! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

New Mexico +11.5

The Aggies (10-3, 7-1 CUSA, 11-2 ATS, 5-2 AWAY) are coming in hot with 8 consecutive wins, facing off against the #22 Flames (12-0, 8-0 CUSA, 8-4 ATS, 7-0 HOME), who have had an even better season (undefeated) in the 2023 Conference USA Championship on Friday at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, VA. The game kicks off at 7pm ET and can be watched on CBS Sports. Weather looks to be a non-factor (mid 50's 25% chance of rain, less than 5mph winds in the forecast). This is a Liberty home game (in case you were wondering with a lot of the other games this week being neutral site) When it comes to the Moneyline (ML), New Mexico State stands at +320, while Liberty holds -425. Unless you're betting on NMSU I'd strongly avoid the ML in this one. Looking at the ATS odds, Liberty is favored at -11.5 (-110), and the total (O/U) is set at 56.5. Both teams have a ton to play for. Liberty is playing to get into the Group of 5 upper rankings of bowl teams. NMSU wants a conference title. Liberty's undefeated record makes them a solid 2-score favorite, I get that, I even respect it, a little bit, but they're only 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games. Have there been better teams ATS this season than NMSU? If you backed the Aggies this year, you did quite well, as they boast a 9-0-1 ATS record in their last 10 games, including three consecutive underdog covers, and yes, outright wins. If you're a fan, you had to love that impressive 31-10 victory over Auburn, hey? For this bet to pay off, we need New Mexico State to stay competitive and believe they can go toe-to-toe with Liberty for the full 60 minutes. They have to flip the field this time, and chip into that "TOP" that Liberty owned in the last game. The last time these two teams met, Liberty secured a 33-17 win and covered a -9.5 spread on September 9th. NMSU is 9-1 since that game. Jerry Kill's kids are having a hell of a year, and with this being their first conference title game you know the entire state is going to watching this game. It's massive in New Mexico. So, it's an intriguing matchup for all the football enthusiasts out there. Trends, New Mex are 10-0 ATS L10, 8-0 SU L8, 6-0 ATS L6 on the road, 4-1 ATS L5 in December, NMSU are also 5-1 SU L6 playing as a dog. I'm banking on NMSU going all in on this matchup. I'm all in on them. They'll cover the +11.5. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Kansas -7

In this upcoming college football clash, Kansas (7-4, 6-5 ATS) is set to take on the Bearcats (3-8, 4-7 ATS) at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The game is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET and will be broadcasted on ESPN2. The odds favor Kansas, with a moneyline of -270, while Cincinnati stands at +217. The point spread has the Bearcats as 1-touchdown underdogs, and the total points for the game is set at 58.5. We're backing Kansas here on Saturday as they take on Cincinnati. In their recent performances, the Jayhawks suffered a 31-27 defeat against Kansas State, with Ballard leading the charge with 162 passing yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs. He also contributed on the ground with 10 rushes for 55 yards. Neal had a notable performance as well, rushing for 138 yards on 18 carries, including 3 touchdowns. The combination of these two players could pose a significant challenge for a Bearcats defense that has struggled this season. Both teams have been battling injury issues, especially at the QB position as they come into play on Saturday. Kansas however, is in good hands as they have depth at this spot and they've been rotating different packages for two different QBs. Jason Bean and Cole Ballard both have experience and they've been able to come in at some spots and make some plays for the Jayhawks. Cincinnati lost Emery Jones and now Brady Lichtenberg is banged up and questionable for this contest. If he does go, he still won't even be close to 100%. The Bearcats don't need those kinds of issues as they've dropped 8 of 9 overall too. They're struggling on the offensive end and this Jayhawks team can get out early on them. With these two teams heading in different directions, the Jayhawks are the valuable team on Saturday at this number. Looking at recent trends, Kansas has covered the spread in 4 of their L6. On the flip side, Cincinnati hasn't had a great run lately, going 2-7 ATS in their L9 games and suffering 8 straight losses in overall matchups. Their struggles extend to their home games, where they've lost their L5 straight. It's safe to say that the Bearcats are in a rough patch this season. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

WSU +16.5

The Washington State Cougars (5-6, 2-6 Pac-12, 5-6 ATS) face off against the Washington Huskies (11-0, 8-0 Pac-12, 5-5-1 ATS) this Saturday at Husky Stadium in Seattle, with kickoff at 4 p.m. ET (FOX). Let's check out the initial betting info. Moneyline shows Washington State at +580 and Washington at -880, while the spread is Washington -16.5 (-110), and the Over/Under is set at 67.5. The Cougars grabbed a victory over Colorado in the elimination bowl, staying in the hunt for a bowl game while ending Colorado's postseason hopes. Washington State broke a losing streak, while the Huskies barely escaped a close call with a 22-20 win against Oregon State. The Apple Cup could be an interesting matchup here as WSU and UW clash. Washington comes in off their big win as all the pressure mounts with them as they look to find themselves in a position to join the BCS Playoffs. Washington State is going to have a say here. The Cougars routed Colorado last week, giving them a lot of momentum coming into this one. They put up 56 points as they ran for 127 yards, while piling up 342 through the air. Cameron Ward had this Coogs offense ranking 4th through the air this year, putting up 338.6 yards per game. Here is the mismatch for us as Washington's defense ranks 119th in the nation in pass yards against, allowing 260.5. Washington State can get into rhythm early, it's going to open up a lot of things here for the Cougars. Washington is in a let down spot as well after the huge win on the road in a rainy Oregon State. Washington State certainly has the ability to keep this close and continue to put doubt in the back of the Huskies' minds as this game goes on. Washington State are 6-3 ATS in their L9 in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NCAA ATS Play

Utah -20.5

The 2023 Rumble in the Rockies isn't what we were hoping for at the beginning of the season. Colorado (4-7, 1-7 Pac-12, 6-4-1 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) comes into Utah (7-4, 6-4-1 ATS, 5-1 HOME) on Saturday looking to finish their season with any kind of a positive they can cling to. Kickoff at Rice-Eccles is at 3pm ET. The Buffaloes are on a tough losing streak, dropping their last five games. Their latest defeat came at the hands of WSU, where they were beaten 56-14 Friday. Meanwhile, the Utes had a tough road game against #16 Arizona and ended up losing 42-18 in Week 12. Now, let's talk odds. When it comes to the Moneyline (ML), Colorado is sitting at +920, while Utah has a commanding -1800. Looking at the Against the Spread (ATS), Utah is favored by -21.5 points (-115), and if you can find it at -20.5, you're in good shape. Lastly, the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 52.5. The last time these two met was 11/26/22, a 9-TD 63-21 Utah win. Utah leads the series 34-32-3. With the first game coming back in 1903. They've won 6 straight. Key point for this one. Shedeur Sanders is a GTD. It's unclear if he suits up for this one. But honestly, why would he? He left Friday's loss with hand soreness in the 56-14 blowout loss to WSU, and why would he take the field? To pad his getting sacked numbers? (Leads the Nation) The CU O-line has proven they couldn't protect an elephant so I don't see why he'd risk it. Give his backup some reps (whomever that is). CU can't make a bowl game, so I'm not sure how much pride there is to play for here. Colorado a 22-point underdog, needs a win to avoid finishing alone in last place in the Pac-12. Utes destroy unranked teams at Rice-Eccles and have taken down the Buffs in the L6 matchups by 20+. EVEN IF Sanders plays, I still like Utah to blow the doors off CU in this one. They're assured a bowl game, so this will be about ironing out the kinks before December. Some trends to note, CU are 0-5 SU in their L5, 1-6 ATS in their L7 vs. Utah, 0-6 SU in their L6 vs. the Utes, and are 2-14 SU in their L16 on the road. The Utes are 4-2 ATS in their L6, 13-6 SU in their L19, and are 19-1 SU in their L20 at home. (The lone loss coming vs. Oregon this year) Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play 

Ohio State +3.5

#3 Ohio State, with a perfect 11-0 record (8-0 Big Ten, 6-4-1 ATS), is set to face #2 Michigan, also 11-0 (8-0 Big 10, 5-5 ATS), at Michigan Stadium in the highly anticipated "The Game!" It's a noon ET kickoff (FOX). The odds for Ohio State are +146 on the Moneyline, while Michigan sits at -176. The ATS line favors Michigan at -3.5 (-115), and the Over/Under is set at 46.5 points. The Buckeyes recently dominated Minnesota, winning 37-3 on Senior Day, while the Wolverines secured a 31-24 victory over Maryland. Get ready for an exciting showdown! We're backing Ohio State here as one of the best rivalries all in sports once again has so much on the line. The winner will move on to the Big 10 Championship and likely find themselves in the BCS Playoff and this is just too many points in this spot.Ohio State's offense is on another level right now. They're doing it with their ground game, led by TreVeyon Henderson, who rumbled his way for 146 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win over the Golden Gophers last week. His ability to pick up huge chunks of yardage is opening passing lanes as well for Kyle McCord. The Buckeyes have everything clicking right now on the offensive end and they should be able to wear down this Michigan defense as the game goes on. Combine that with how well this Ohio State defense is playing too. The Buckeyes are allowing just 9.3 points per game, which is 2nd in the entire nation. We're going to see Ohio State make things miserable for JJ McCarthy, who has significantly worse stats without Harbaugh on the sideline. Ohio State are 5-1-1 ATS in their L7, ane are 10-0 SU in their L10, plus, they're 15-3 SU in their L18 games against Michigan, and lastly, they're 9-0 SU in their L9 games on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Oregon -13

On Friday, it's a Pac-12 showdown as #6 Oregon (10-1) takes on #15 Oregon State (8-3) at Autzen Stadium. The opening odds are as follows: Oregon is the favorite with a spread of -13.5 points. The moneyline odds favor Oregon at -561, while Oregon State stands at +406. The total points for the game are set at 62.5. In their recent games, the Ducks dominated ASU with a 49-13 victory, while the Beavers faced a tough loss to Washington, falling 22-20. The Ducks and Beavers rivalry may feature the best talent of the two teams we've seen in many years. This however, is going to be overwhelming for the Beavers. Oregon is still holding out hope they can sneak into the BCS Playoff conversation with some help and they've done all they've needed to do with style points. Oregon racked up 42 first half points last week against Arizona State and Bo Nix is just on a different level once again. He has tossed for 3539 yards this year and has 35 touchdowns. While those numbers are outstanding, his ability to take care of the ball is the difference maker really. He has just 2 interceptions in 2023 and should pick apart this Oregon State defense. Oregon plays with such speed and they can score in flurries. They strike so quickly and Troy Franklin is just so tough to guard out wide. He racked up 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns last week and will be the main target here once again for Nix. Oregon is also playing to blow teams out when they can, knowing big wins are needed for the committee should it come down to that. Some trends to note, Oregon State are 3-12 SU in their L15 against Oregon, plus, they're 0-7 SU in their L7 games when playing on the road against Oregon. Oregon are 8-2-1 ATS in their L11, and they're 7-0 SU in their L7 at home, and are 11-4-1 in their L16 vs. Pac 12 teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Texas -14

Texas (10-1, 7-1 Big 12, 5-5-1 ATS) hosts Texas Tech (6-5, 5-3, 5-6 ATS) at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium this Friday, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The initial odds are as follows: Moneyline (ML) shows Texas Tech at +385 and Texas at -520 (I'd steer clear), while the Against the Spread (ATS) is Texas -13.5, and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 52.5 points. Texas is coming off a 26-16 victory against Iowa State on the road, covering the 6.5-point spread as the favorite. Meanwhile, Texas Tech narrowly defeated UCF Knights 24-23 last Saturday but couldn't cover as a 2-point favorite at home. We're backing the Longhorns here on Friday night as they welcome in rival Texas Tech. Texas has a lot riding on the line here as they are still playing for an outside chance at crashing the BCS Playoffs. The Longhorns currently sit at number 7 in the nation, but will receive some help as a couple of conference foes will have to play each other coming up. Texas should have a field day with this Red Raiders defense. Texas Tech comes in at 74th in the nation in total defense, as they have struggled to slow teams down. They're struggling at forcing turnovers and their inability to get off the field on 3rd down has been an issue. Texas has too dangerous of an offense in this spot. They also are playing for style points too. It could come down to a few one loss teams in the nation vying for a final Playoff spot. They won't be shy about getting a lead and doing whatever they can to put up. I'm not all about the offensive love for Texas today. Their D allows 2.9 yards per rush attempt, which put them in the Top 10 in the FBS. Good luck with that TT RB's. Trends, TT are 4-9 ATS in their L13, vs. UT, are 4-16 SU in their L20 vs. TEX, and are 2-10 SU in their L12 games when playing on the road against Texas. On the other side, Texas are 6-0 SU in their L6 games at home. This is a very nice spot for Texas to provide us with a lopsided win. I'm on UT tonight. Enjoy your Black Friday! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NCAAF 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 

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

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

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.

Wednesday 7* NCAAF ATS Play

Utah +7

A Pac-12 showdown Saturday! It's a classic in the making as the #16 USC Trojans (6-1, 2-5 ATS) square off against the #14 Utah Utes (5-1, 3-2-1 ATS) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The game kicks off at 8:00 PM ET and takes place in LA, airing on FOX. Here are the latest betting odds: USC (-7) as the favored team, USC (-253) on the Moneyline, and Utah (+205) for straight bets. The Over/Under Total stands at 56.

These two teams clashed in a memorable showdown last year during the Pac-12 Championship Game, with the Utes clinching a second consecutive victory at 47-24. USC boasts a strong offense, but Utah's defense is a force to be reckoned with, ranking 3rd in the nation in EPA per play. In their historical series, USC holds a 12-9 lead, with their first meeting dating all the way back to 1915, resulting in a 20-13 win for Utah.

This is an interesting number. Utah has been without a starting QB all season, but they have shown they can compete with the best of them. Combine that with the Trojans coming in off an embarrassing loss to Notre Dame last week and this is a tale of two different sides right now.

The Trojans had a lot of flaws exposed in their loss to the Fighting Irish. They were unable to move the ball like they're used to and their inability to slow teams down defensively is starting to become a big issue.

Utah can work the run game and open up passing lanes, as every team for the most part that has played USC thus far has lit them up, especially in the secondary. 

Some trends to note, Utah are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, and they're 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against USC. For USC they're 1-4 ATS in the L5, and 2-5 ATS in their L7 Saturday matchups.

At the end of the day I think Utah is a better team than Notre Dame. Just my .2c. AND look what the Irish did to SC.

We're backing the Utes in this Pac 12 clash. The occasion will NOT be too big for them.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Coastal Carolina -8.5

Week 8 of NCAA action features an exciting showdown between the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, with a record of 3-3 (4-2 ATS), and the Arkansas State Red Wolves, who stand at 3-3 (2-3-1 ATS). The game kicks off Saturday at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where the weather promises to be AOK (temps in the 80s, and winds below 10mph).

As for the betting odds, Coastal Carolina is favored with a Moneyline of -386, while Arkansas State holds +296 odds. The Chanticleers are also favored by 10.5 points according to the ATS odds, with an Over/Under set at 61 points.

When it comes to scoring, Coastal Carolina ranks 54th nationally, averaging 30PPG, while Arkansas State lags behind at 77th with 22PPG. On the defensive front, the Chanticleers allow an average of 23PPG, placing them 71st in the nation, whereas the Red Wolves have a less stellar defense, allowing 36PPG and sitting at 119th. 

In their recent matchup, the Chanticleers triumphed over App State 27-24. Meanwhile, the Red Wolves faced a tough defeat, suffering a 37-3 loss against Troy.

I've got my popcorn ready, and I can't wait to see how ARKST plans to slow down McCall, Bennett, Pinckney and the rest of the CC offense. The Wolves are honestly one of the worst defensive teams in the country, 260+ passing yards allowed per game, 190+ rush yards per game, plus they've given up a CRAPTON of points this year. CC's offense will have a hay-day here.

Troy dominated the Wolves, and Raynor was running for his life. Queue the CC defense. They're licking their chops to get after Raynor on Saturday. CC is feeling good about life right now, and you know they want to keep the train-a-rollin' vs. the Wolves.

Some trends to note, CC are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and 10-0 SU in their L10 vs. West division opponents. On the other side ARK St. are 5-12 SU in their L17, and 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 at home, and finally they're 1-7 in their L8 vs. Sun Belt teams. 

This matchup promises an exciting clash of strengths and strategies on the gridiron. I can't wait to see this one actually.

We're on the Chanticleers!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Texas -23

#8 Texas (5-1, 3-3 ATS) face Houston (3-3, 3-3 ATS) Saturday at 4:00 ET in Houston's TDECU Stadium, shown on FOX. Here are the current Week 8 ATS Betting Lines: Texas -22.5, with Moneyline Odds of Texas -2097 and Houston +980. The Total is O/U 61.5.

Historically, Houston has a record of 7-16-2 against UT, with a home record of 3-7-1. Last season, they didn't play each other. Houston comes off a thrilling 41-39 win over West Virginia, while Texas is back after a bye week, recovering from a tough loss to OU in the Red River Rivalry. 

We're on Texas here, laying the points. This is a total mismatch on Saturday. The Longhorns are just too powerful when it comes to the offensive side. The Cougars simply won't be able to keep up.

Texas had a full week to think about their loss to Oklahoma and they're going to come out with some frustration. They were unable to get a stop late and now they will take on one of the worst defenses in the Big 12. Houston has been torched left and right, allowing many big plays to opposing Qbs. 

Texas is going to come into this one with a wide open playbook. They're going to take plenty of chances downfield, especially early on. Houston's defense ranks near the bottom in a lot of categories and those will be shown on Saturday here.

Some trends to note, Texas are 5-1 SU in their L6 games. On the other side, Houston are 1-8 SU in their L9 games against an opponent in the Big 12, also, Houston are 2-6 ATS in their L8 games played on a Saturday when playing at home.

There's been a few "battles of Texas" this week in the sports world.

Saturday we're on TEXAS (UT) to take down Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin -2.5

In Week 8 the (4-2, 2-4 ATS) Badgers face off against the (3-4, 1-6 ATS) Fighting Illini in a Big 10 showdown scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 ET. The battleground for this fierce clash will be Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL. Last week, the Badgers faced a setback, suffering a 15-6 loss to the Hawkeyes, while the Illini emerged victorious with a 27-24 W over the Terrapins.

The Week 8 ATS betting lines have Wisconsin as the favorites with a -2.5 point spread, accompanied by moneyline odds of -133 for Wisconsin and +111 for Illinois. The over/under for the game is set at 42.5 points.

Wisconsin enters this matchup hungry for revenge, especially after their previous encounter resulted in a resounding 34-10 victory for Illinois. 

The Badgers have to come out with a better gameplan here. We do get a nice line as they will go with their backup QB in this spot on Saturday in Illinois. The good thing here is that this Illinois side has far too many problems on both sides of the ball.

The Badgers are going to lean on this run game to wear down Illinois. Combine that with their defense still being one of the best in the conference and they have a huge edge in this spot.

This should be an ugly game, but a game in which is played to the Badgers liking. They love to slow the tempo down and wear the opposition out with their push up front. If they can get that going early, it's going to be a long day for the Fighting Illini. 

Some trends to note, Wisconsin are 5-2 SU in their L7, and are 11-2 in their L13 vs. the Illini. Illinois are 1-7 ATS in their L8, and 0-6 ATS in their L6 at home.

Wisconsin maintains a series record lead of 44-39-7. Over the L10 between these two school's the Badgers own an 8-2 advantage.

We're riding the Badgers on Saturday in B10 action.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Ohio State -3.5

In the upcoming week, there's a significant clash in the Big 10 as two unbeaten teams from the East Division face off. #3 Ohio State (6-0, 3-2-1 ATS) will be hosting #7 Penn State (6-0, 6-0 ATS, 3-0 Big Ten) on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET, and you can catch it on the Fox network.

Let's take a look at the betting numbers: Moneyline (ML) shows Penn State at +164 and Ohio State at -200. Against the spread (ATS) favors Ohio State by -5.5 (-102), and the Over/Under (O/U) stands at 48.5.

Last week, Penn State dominated the Minutemen with a score of 63-0, while the Buckeyes faced the Boilermakers, defeating them 41-7. Ohio State holds a strong historical record against Penn State, leading 23-14, with 6 consecutive wins and victory in 10 of their last 11 meetings. PSU's last win in Happy Valley dates back to 2016.

We see the value lays with OSU this week! We love -3.5, we're good with -4.

Ohio State has dominated this head to head series. Coming into Saturday, the Buckeyes have won 6 straight in this head to head series and 11 of the last 12 overall against Penn State.

The Buckeyes will look to gain some key pieces back from injury, which includes Henderson, Williams, and Trayanum. All 3 are banged up, but when healthy they are the most dangerous trio in the backfield in the nation.

The Buckeyes are just going to feed off this home crowd energy and look to set the tone early. Ohio State has been at their best when they can establish a run game, which opens things up for this passing side. This will be by far Penn State's hardest opponent to date and they're just going to have too much to overcome. 

Some trends to note, Penn State are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Buckeyes, and they're 0-6 SU in their last 6 games against Ohio State. On the other side the Ohio State are 16-1 SU in their last 17 games at home, and they're 12-2-1 ATS in their last 15 games played in October.

PSU lost to the Buckeyes last year 44-31.

We're on the Buckeyes on Saturday in this huge Big 10 matchup. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

*RARE* Saturday 10* CFB Top ATS Play

James Madison -3.5 

Thursday night college football in Week 8. It's the James Madison Dukes (6-0, 4-2 ATS) taking on the Marshall Thundering Herd (4-2, 2-4 ATS) at 7:00 ET in Huntington, WV's Joan C. Edwards Stadium, and you can catch it on ESPN. The current betting lines are as follows: JMU is favored by -3.5 points, the over/under is set at 49 points, and the money line shows Dukes at -175 and Thundering Herd at +146.

In their history, Marshall has a 3-0 record against JMU, but they're coming off two losses while the Dukes are on the rise after a big win over Georgia Southern (41-13) while Marshall struggled against Georgia State (41-24). The last time Marshall and James Madison faced off came last year, ending in a 26-12 win for Marshall.

We’re on James Madison here, laying the points.

Marshall has dropped back to back games as it’s been their defense that has completely let them down. They allowed 48 points to NC State and then followed that up with 41 points against in their loss to Georgia State. The confidence is totally gone from their 4-0 start and now they have James Madison rolling into town.

The Dukes are a perfect 6-0 and they’ve been dominant on both sides of the ball at times. Offensively, it’s been so tough to slow them down. They have scored over 30 points in 5 of the 6 games, which includes a 41-13 win over GA Southern last week.

This is a game where two teams are going in opposite directions.

The confidence level sits with James Madison and we’re backing the hotter team here. Marshall’s defense simply will not be able to slow down this offense. Game time weather is a non-factor, should be high 60's to low 70's, with a 10% chance of rain.

Some trends to note, the Dukes are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and are 9-0 SU in their L9, and 4-1 in their L5 on the road. Lastly they're 6-0 SU in their L6 vs. Sun Belt teams. On the other side Marshall are 2-4 ATS in their L6.

Back JM tonight on Thursday night college football. We aren't Marshall...tonight.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 6* CFB ATS Play

UTEP +3.5

On Wednesday the UTEP Miners (2-5, 2-5 ATS) will play at home against the New Mexico State Aggies (4-3, 5-2 ATS) at Sun Bowl Stadium. You can catch this game on ESPN2. Here are the betting details: The over/under is 48.5, UTEP is getting +3.5 points as the underdogs, and the Aggies are favored to win with a moneyline of -165.

In their recent games, the Aggies defeated Sam Houston 27-13, while UTEP secured a 27-14 victory against the FIU Panthers.

We’re on UTEP here, grabbing the points at home. 

Utep comes in with momentum. The Miners threw for over 300 yards in the win as they finally found their offensive production they’ve been waiting for. This is a good matchup for them as they should be able to find success against this Aggies secondary. 

New Mexico State has been hit or miss but their offense is not overpowering by any means. They have had struggles at times and they’ll be in for a lot of issues with this Utep defense.

The Miners love to blitz and will put together some different packages here to confuse them in the backfield. If you check out the way back machine you'll see the Miners have outscored NMST by 34 points in the last 2 matchups.

I'm not saying UTEP wins this one outright, I'm saying they'll be in it until the final play of the game. The Aggies defense doesn't scare anyone (23PPG) so I think UTEP can gain some ground in this one. Weather won't be a factor, it'll be in the high 70's and low 80's at gametime.

Some trends to note, New Mexico State are 3-17 SU in their last 20 games on the road, and are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games against UTEP. UTEP are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games when playing at home against NMST.

Hammer UTEP on Wednesday night! Let's go mining!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play

WK ATS

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (4-2, 4-2 ATS, 2-0 in CUSA) and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (5-2, 4-2-1 ATS, 3-1) will face off on Tuesday at Burgess-Snow Field in Jacksonville, Alabama, in a Conf-USA game. The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be shown on ESPNU.

Here are the betting details: Western Kentucky is favored by 7.5 points, the total points scored (over/under) is set at 60, and if you prefer a straight-up bet, the money line odds are Hilltoppers -306 and Jacksonville State +243. WKU has covered their L3 games.

We’re on the Hilltoppers, laying the points.

Looking at this matchup you may think laying points with a road team against a 5-2 side is a bad move. However, Jax State is not as good as their record indicates. 31-13 loss to Liberty last game out.

They’ve lost to Coastal Carolina and Liberty, two of the best teams on their schedule. They simply weren’t able to keep up and eventually were worn down which opened a lot of gaps in the defense.

Western Kentucky is a very quick striking team as well. They aren’t shy about throwing the ball and will take plenty of shots down field. The Hilltoppers are averaging 32 PPG and leading the conference in passing YPG (287) and TD's (15).

We’re playing this Hilltoppers side who has won back to back games putting up more than 30 points in each of them. This matchup marks the first meeting between these teams since 2003, and WKU has the lead in their historical series, winning four out of five. 

We've waited long enough trying to see if this would hit -7, but we'll bite on the -7.5. Weather looks good, a non factor.

Back the Hilltoppers on Tuesday night.

Some trends to note, WK are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, and are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

10* TOP PLAY

UW -3

In Seattle this week, there's a big showdown in college football. Undefeated #8 Oregon (5-0, 5-0 ATS) faces off against #7 Washington (5-0, 3-2 ATS) for the top spot in the Pac 12. It's the nation's top offense against the second-best – a real headline-maker. The game kicks off on Saturday, October 14th, at 12:30 PM PT, airing on ABC.

The odds have Washington favored by 3 points with a total score prediction of 67.5. Washington is at -142 on the money line, while Oregon is at +130.

We’re on Washington here, laying the number at home.

This is going to be the kind of game that features a lot of fireworks. Both offenses are explosive and they love to work with pace.

Washington is being a little undervalued here too. They rank first in the FBS in total offense at 569 yards and they can score in bunches. They also get a huge boost this week returning from injury. McMillan will be out wide for Penix, after missing 3 games with an undisclosed injury. He’s been practicing all week and makes such a difference in this receiving core.

The Huskies have stepped up on defense at times, which included last week against Arizona. They have forced turnovers and been able to hold firm in the red zone.

Look for them to put together a lot of different coverages and blitzes, doing whatever they can to confuse this Oregon offense. This Pac 12 showdown is a big deal, one of the most significant in years. What's even crazier is that next year, it becomes a BIG 10 game. Strange, right?

Some trends to note, UW are 10-0 SU in their L10, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games, and lastly they're 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home. 

Back the DAWGS on Saturday vs. the 1-state-over rival.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday *RARE 10* TOP PLAY* CFB ATS Play

BYU +6

We've got a good game lined up with the BYU Cougars (4-1, 1-1) facing off against the TCU Horned Frogs (3-3, 1-2). Saturday at 3:30pm ET, Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, TX, and you can catch it on ESPN. Last week, BYU had a bye week, while TCU took a hit with a 27-14 loss to Iowa State.

In the history books, TCU leads the series 6-5, and the last time they met in 2011, TCU came out on top with a 38-28 score.

Now, for the betting scoop: BYU is the underdog by 6 points, and the total points for the game are set at 52.5. If you're looking at the moneyline, TCU is -223, and BYU is +182.

BYU has the value with the points in this spot.

The Cougars take on a TCU team that has not looked like the runners up from last season. They are 3-3 on the year and they have looked bad on the offensive side. They have scored a combined 35 points over the last two weeks and now they will be without their starting QB moving forward.

Freshman Josh Hoover will make his first college start and takes on a defense that isn’t shy to put together blitz packages. BYU also comes in off a bye week which will be extremely beneficial. The bye week was used to help get this Cougars side healthy and will provide them with a huge spark.

This is the kind of game they can frustrate the Horned Frogs. Given the struggles TCU has had and the situation they’re in QB wise, an early BYU lead can start to put some doubt into the Horned Frogs. They will have to be conservative with their play-calling as well, which should give BYU a nice edge.

Look for BYU to control the clock and have this TCU team on their heels.

Some trends to note, BYU are 8-1 in their L9 SU. Plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. TCU. TCU are 2-5 in their L7 ATS. 

We're on the Cougars on Saturday to keep things close against TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Utah -10.5

The Cal Golden Bears (3-3, 2-4 ATS, 1-2 Pac12) aim for their second road victory of the season against the Utah Utes (4-1, 2-2-1 ATS, 1-1 Pac-12) this Saturday afternoon. The game kicks off at 3:00PM ET and airs on the Pac-12 Network. This showdown takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Now, let's check out the odds.

The Utes are the favorites with a spread of -11.5 points, and their moneyline stands at -455. On the other side, the Golden Bears hold a moneyline of +350. The total points for this game are set at 45.

Utah brings in an impressive home winning streak against unranked teams. That is one thing Utah has done so well in the recent years. They’ve beaten the teams they’re supposed to beat and they do it in style.

They have won 26 straight here against unranked opponents and they are a few steps above this Cal side. Digging deeper into that stat, they are 15-0 since 2021 and 13 of those have been by double digits.

Cal will look to establish a run game, but that won’t work against Utah. The Utes are one of the best in the conference at stopping the run, especially at home. They will stack the box on this Cal side, daring them to throw the ball.

Look for Utah to dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, which should produce defensive turnovers and give them some short fields to work with. Cal simply does not have the firepower should they fall behind here.

This is a nice spot to back Utah in a game they should handle comfortably. Cal won't be able to keep up, and I think they win by 14+.

Some trends to note, CAL are 1-4 in their L5 SU, they're also 4-10 SU in their L14. On the other side, Utah are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games. They're also an insane 17-0 SU in their last 17 games at home, plus they're 15-3 SU in their last 18 games against an opponent in the Pac-12.

I'm backing the UTES on Saturday. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Buffaloes -11.5

The game will kick off at 10:00 ET at Folsom Field in Boulder, CO. The weather is expected to be in the 40's to low 50's and clear. You can catch the action on ESPN. Now, let's talk odds. Colorado is favored by 11.5 points in the spread, and the over/under is set at 60 points. For those who prefer straight-up bets, the money line shows the Buffaloes at -466 and the Cardinal at +350.

Colorado has the value here on Friday night. The Buffs come in after another win as they are proving to a lot of people that they aren’t messing around. 

Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes are gearing up to face the Stanford Cardinal in a Pac-12 matchup on Friday. Colorado has had a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the first half of the season. They're looking to maintain their momentum, and this game against the visiting Cardinal seems like the perfect opportunity.

The Buffaloes are coming off a strong performance, scoring on 3 of their last 4 possessions against ASU last week. Their offense is on the right track, and despite facing a challenging schedule this year, they're determined to keep their bowl dreams alive. Shedeur Sanders has been a reliable quarterback with 16 TD's and only 2 INT's, showing good ball protection. He's starting to get the offense rolling, and that has to strike fear into the trees for this one.

Colorado ticks a lot of the boxes against this edition of the Stanford team. Stanford is just 1-4 on the year and they’ve been throttled on a few instances in conference play. Also mix in a loss to Sacramento State and this team is abysmal so far. 

Colorado’s offense is rolling right now and they should be able to pick apart this Stanford side. Look for a lot quick plays and for them to open things up as the game goes on. Stanford has struggled with fast paced teams and this is one here they will have their hands full with. I think CU will prove to be too strong for the trees. This has all the makings of a 17+ point win.

Some trends to note, Stanford are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games, and they're 1-9 SU in their last 10 games, plus they're 0-7 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Pac-12.

Back Colorado tonight at home at Folsom. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

Memphis +5

Tulane Green Wave (4-1, 2-3 ATS) takes on Memphis Tigers (4-1, 1-4 ATS) this Friday at 7:00PM ET in Memphis at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. You can catch it on ESPN. If you're into betting, the Green Wave are the favorites by 4.5 points, and the over/under is set at 54.5. If you're going for a straight-up bet, Tulane is at -196, while Memphis is at +164.

In their previous games, the Green Wave won against the UAB Blazers with a score of 35-23, while Memphis secured a victory over Boise State, winning 35-32. 

We’re on Memphis here, grabbing the points at home.

Memphis comes in as underdogs in a spot where they matchup well. The Tigers are 4-1 and they’ve done it with their offense coming up with some big time plays when they need it the most. They come in off an impressive 35-32 win over Boise State last time out as their balanced attack is tough to stop.

They will wear teams down and we saw Ashton Jeanty rumbled for a pair of touchdowns in the win over the Broncos. Maddux Madsen has also came up with some plays as he’s stepped into the starter role. He has turned it over just 1 time while throwing for 5 touchdowns.

This will be one of the best teams Tulane has seen thus far, which adds to the value for Memphis. With a big crowd expected, we’re playing the Tigers here to cover and potentially steal this one outright. 

Some trends to note, Tulane are 3-13 SU in their last 16 games against Memphis. On the other side, Memphis are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games plus they're 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home. 

Enjoy the evening, and only bet what you can afford! :)

We're on the Tigers on Friday. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

TGIF 9* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -2.5

Week 7 of college football is here, and it's time for the Cougars (2-3, 2-3 ATS) to take on the Mountaineers (4-1, 4-1 ATS) in a Big 12 showdown. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. ET at TDECU Stadium. West Virginia is favored by 3 points, and the total points expected to be scored is 49.5. If you're into straight-up bets, West Virginia leads with odds of -148, while Houston stands at +124.

The Cougars are 0-2 in the Big 12, are still chasing their first conference win after tough losses to TCU and Texas Tech. On the other side, the Mountaineers are riding high with only 1 blemish on their record overall and 2-0 in the Big 12.

This is the first meeting between the two sides in their program histories, and we’re on the Mountaineers here, laying the points on the road. 

The Mountaineers come in with winners of 4 straight overall after dropping the opener to Penn State. They’ve rattled over wins over TCU, Texas Tech, Pitt, and Duquesne as they look to crack the Top 25 with a win here.

They’ve done it with their defense. They’ve been able to force turnovers and they aren’t shy about bringing pressure. That should be the case here once again as Houston has been making mistakes offensively thus far into the season.

West Virginia should be able to dictate a lot in this game, really frustrating the Coogs. An early lead will have them reeling, similar to what Texas Tech did to these Cougars last week.

Keep an eye on Garrett Greene, the standout QB for West Virginia. He's been impressive with 550 passing yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions, not to mention his rushing skills with 185 yards. (A dual thread if there ever was one). He already has two career 100-yard rush games.

Greene is a born leader, and he's got the team following his lead, and facing a Cougars defense that's struggling, allowing an average of 30PPG. The Cougs won't be able to stop the rushing attack of WV in this one.

Some trends to note, WV are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, and 5-1 SU in their last 6 games. On the other side the Cougars are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games at home.

Back the Mountain Men on Thursday night college football.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NCAA ATS Play

New Mexico State -3.5

The Sam Houston Bearkats (0-5, 3-1-1 ATS) will face off against the New Mexico State Aggies (3-3, 4-2 ATS) in NCAAF Week 7. This game will be held at Aggie Memorial Stadium, and it's a matchup between two Conference USA teams. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. MT, and you can catch it on CBSSN.

The Aggies are the favorites by 3.5 points, with the over/under set at 41.5 points. The money line shows the Aggies at -172 and the Bearkats at +143.

We’re on New Mexico State in this Wednesday night spot.

The Aggies take on a Bearkats team that is new to the FBS and it has not gone according to plan. They remain winless and this offense has looked bad for the most part. They haven’t scored over 16 points and in fact they've only scored 10 points combined through their first three games of the season.

New Mexico State took down FAU last week by 17 and have momentum coming in here. This offense has shown some solid signs throughout their 3 wins and they have the capabilities of producing some big plays. We’re backing the more experienced team with a much better all-around team on both sides of the ball.

In their previous games, Sam Houston suffered a 21-16 loss against Liberty, while New Mexico State secured a 34-17 victory over FIU.

Some trends to note, Sam Houston State are 0-10 SU in their last 10 games, and are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games on the road. On the other side New Mexico State are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. and they're 9-4 SU in their last 13 games.

We're backing the Aggies. Give the points on Wednesday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CFB ATS Play

App State -5

Tuesday's matchup features the Costal Carolina Chanticleers (2-3, 3-2 ATS) taking on the Appalachian State Mountaineers (3-2, 2-2-1 ATS). This game is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET from Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone. The Mountaineers are favored by 6.5 points, with a total points over/under set at 61. The money line shows Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at +198 and the Mountaineers at -245.

We’re on App State here as weekday FUN Belt action gets underway. 

App State comes in 3-2 as this team has still looked impressive so far. They come in after a 41-40 win over UL Monroe on the road. They’ve given both Wyoming and North Carolina games to the wire on the road this year as well. At home, they’re 2-0 and looked good offensively crushing ECU and Gardner Webb. 

This team should overpower Coastal. They have the big play ability and can put together some good drives on opposing defenses. They’ll frustrate this Coastal side that simply doesn’t have enough firepower. This is the kind of game App State can get out early and keep their foot on the gas. Game time weather looks to be in the Mid 50's. (F)

Some trends to note, CC are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games, and 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against App St. App St. are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games at home.

Notably, this marks the seventh meeting between these schools, with the Mountaineers holding a 4-2 series lead. In their last encounter in 2022, the Chanticleers emerged victorious with a 35-28 win at Brooks Stadium.

We're on App State here on Tuesday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Arizona +21

In a classic Pac 12 matchup happening Saturday, we have the Wildcats with a record of 3-2 (4-1 ATS) facing off against USC, who are currently 5-0 (2-3 ATS). The game kicks off at 10:30 ET and will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Betting spread odds shake down with USC at -21.5, and for Arizona, it's +924 on the Moneyline (ML), while USC is -2000 on the ML. The total points expected in the game are set at 72.5 (O/U).

The Wildcats have a lot of value in this spot.

We've seen that USC can score and strike very quickly. However, one thing that hasn't changed over the years for them as their defense continues to be one of the worst. Colorado absolutely torched them as they nearly blew a huge 2nd half lead. 

Now, Arizona comes in after giving Washington all they could handle as well.

This is the kind of matchup where USC can even overlook them. With Notre Dame hanging in the balance, the Trojans are going to struggle with the Wildcats attack. Arizona has proven they aren't going to shy away from this USC side. They will air it out and take their chances when they see it.

This is the kind of trap game where Arizona can keep things close. 

Expect the Trojans and Wildcats to exchange punches all night. Look for a high scoring affair where Arizona keeps it within the number.

Some trends to note, Arizona are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games, and they're 4-2 SU in their L6 games. USC are 2-5 ATS in their L7.

Back the Wildcats ATS on Saturday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -6.5

In Week 6 of college football, we have the #10 Fighting Irish (5-1, 4-1-1 ATS) playing against the Cardinals (5-0, 2-2-1 ATS) this weekend. The game kicks off at 7:30 PM ET and will be held at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. You can watch it on ABC.

Now, let's talk about the betting odds. Notre Dame is favored by 6.5 points, and the moneyline odds are Notre Dame -259 and Louisville +207. Fancy a straight up bet? The total is set at over/under 51.5.

The Fighting Irish aren't done here in the Playoff talk. Not only are they building a solid resume, this is the kind of game where they can add to that. After coming from behind against Duke with a late score last week, they have all the confidence right now. This team could easily be undefeated, but even so, their schedule is favorable here after these next two games.

Louisville had to grind their way to win over NC State and they aren't anything overwhelming. Notre Dame can really lean on Estimee and control the ground game. Sustaining drives and opening up passing lanes for Hartman will be the difference here.

Look for the Fighting Irish to dictate the tempo and have Louisville off balanced all night.

After the scare last week, look for Notre Dame to get out early and put their foot on the gas. This is the kind of game where they can bury the Cards and wear them out. 

Some trends to note, Notre Dame are 6-1 SU in their L7 games, and they're 5-1-1 ATS in their L7 games, they're also 8-1 ATS in their L9 games on the road. For the Cardinals, they're 6-14 SU in their L20 games when playing as the underdog.

On Saturday, Louisville's QB Plummer will face Notre Dame for the third time in three seasons, playing for his third different team. He's had a tough time against Notre Dame in the past to say the least, and I'm not sure if Louisville has the right dogs for this fight with Notre Dame.

Notre Dame has one of the top 5 offenses in the country, and their defense has performed well, especially against Duke. They seem set for another strong showing this week as all signs have them trending in the right direction towards being in the National Championship conversation at the end of the season.

We're backing the IRISH on Saturday. "They're always after me lucky charms!"

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Colorado -3.5.

In Week 6 of college football, the Buffaloes (3-2, 3-2 ATS) are facing the Sun Devils (1-4, 2-3 ATS). The game kicks off at 6:30 PM ET at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, and you can watch it on the Pac-12 Network.

When it comes to the betting odds, Colorado is favored by 4.5 points, with a moneyline of -203 for Colorado and +165 for Arizona State. The over/under (O/U) for the game is set at 59.5 points.

Colorado has cooled off a bit, but they can. build off last week. The Buffs come in after racking up a high point total against a good USC team. They climbed all the way back, only to fall by a score in the end. 

This is the kind of game where they matchup very well with ASU. They have far more firepower and they are much more aggressive with their style. The Sun Devils have struggled on both sides of the ball at times and Colorado can expose that.

Look for them to take their shots down field and play with tempo, putting ASU in an uncomfortable spot early on. 

Some trends to note, Colorado are 4-2 ATS in their L6 games against Arizona State. For ASU, they're 1-8 SU in their L9 games, 1-5 ATS in their L6 games at home, and finally they're 0-6 SU in their L6 games against an opponent in the Pac-12.

Colorado recently played against USC and lost 48-41, while Arizona State is looking to bounce back from a 24-21 loss to Cal in this week's game. I still support Buffalo this year, even though they lost. They impressed me with their strong performance in the second half against USC.

Deion Sanders believes his team can improve their offense even further, and his kid, Shedeur Sanders is doing a "decent job". The Buffs score an average of 34PPG and gain 440YPG. "Decent Stats...LOL".

I'm on Coach Prime and the Buffs on Saturday. Lock in -3.5 if you can get it. (-4 is great too)

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

OU +5.5

It's Red River Rivalry Saturday! In Week 6 college football gambling action we get the Texas Longhorns (5-0, 3-2 ATS) and the Oklahoma Sooners (5-0, 5-0 ATS). Two Top-15 teams means we should see some good football tomorrow. The game starts at 12:00 PM ET on ABC in Dallas, Texas, at the Cotton Bowl. This is the last time these two Top 15 clubs will meet in this game as members of the Big 12 as they're leaving for the SEC.

As for the betting odds, Texas is favored by 6.5 points, with the Moneyline odds at Texas -237 and Oklahoma +189. The total score expected is 59.5.

These games are always played close. 

Oklahoma and Texas renew their rivalry with College Gameday in attendance as this one should provide a lot of fireworks. 

We know one thing for sure, both teams get up for this game and aren't shy about what they're going to try to do. Oklahoma catches points here in a game where the underdog always has a chance to steal things outright. 

The Sooners are a perfect 5-0 themselves and flying a bit under the radar right now. They've been able to move the ball with ease against the opposition and we're getting nice value on them. QB Daniel Gabriel racked up 366 yards and 3 TDS last week as he is rolling right now.

This is a pretty even matchup on both ends. Look for a lot of sparks and some quick strikes from the Sooners, in a game they can steal outright. 

Some trends to note, Oklahoma loves college football Saturday's, they're 6-1 in the L7 Saturday games! Plus, OU are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games, 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Texas. UT are 1-4 ATS in their L5 Saturday games at home.

The main concern for the Sooners is their offense, not their defense, and we all know defense wins football games. Texas struggles to score touchdowns, especially in the red zone, which is a problem. Oklahoma is aware of this and will focus on their red zone defense to take advantage of Texas' offensive struggles. Field goals won't be enough for Texas in this game.

We're on OU +5.5. They could even steal this one outright.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Free Side Bet: Small play on the UNDER.

Nebraska ATS

Tonight at 8:00 ET in Memorial Stadium, Champaign, IL. It's a B10 matchup between the Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-3, 2-3 ATS) and Illinois Fighting Illini (2-3, 3-2 ATS) for Week 6 of college football. The odds favor the Illini -3.5, and the moneyline odds are Nebraska +134 and Illinois -167. The total betting O/U is 44.5.

Backing the Huskers on Friday night in what should be a classic Big 10 showdown! It's guaranteed that when two ball control offenses lock horns the end result is a win-win for football fans! Both teams want to control TOP, both teams will try to establish the run, and both teams will want to win in the trenches. Illinois to my eye looks like they can't defend the run or the pass, so the advantage coming in is with Nebraska IMO.

These two teams have been struggling heading into this matchup, no doubt, they’ve both been pretty similar in their styles, and if I'm being honest, both play a very ugly style it has to be said. 

The Cornhuskers were blitzed by Michigan last week, but prior to that, they came in with wins over Louisiana Tech and Northern Illinois. They’ve shown some signs of their offense moving the ball at times and they’re able to establish a downhill ground game. That will be the key in this one. If the Cornhuskers can control the ground and wear down Illinois, we’re going to see them open things up in the 2nd half. 

Gametime weather looks to be in the 50's. (Fall has arrived) We love Nebraska on the road tonight and we're grabbing the points as they've shown a little bit more fight of the two. Plus, they've proven they can stop the run, and they're a TOP 20 running offense in the Nation. Not only can they cover tonight, they could steal this one outright.

Some trends to note, Illinois are 3-7 SU in their L10 games, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games, and they're 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games at home.

The Huskers will travel! Back them ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State ATS

On Friday night, there's a Big 12 football game happening between the (3-1, 3-1 ATS) Kansas State Wildcats vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-2, 1-3 ATS). It's at 7:30 ET, and they'll be playing at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, OK. Kansas State has a -11.5 point advantage. You can also bet on the moneyline, with Kansas State at -450 and Oklahoma State at +333. The total score for the game is predicted to be 54.5 points.

Backing OKC on Friday night. Oklahoma State has value grabbing the points. The public is all over KState in this one, and we're pretty happy with this number. The Cowboys grab a big number at home here. They come in after faltering to the Cyclones by 7 on the road in a game where they had all the chances to win. 

Alan Bowman found the end zone twice and put up nearly 300 yards as he can at least carry that momentum into play here.

The Wildcats have been vulnerable on the defensive side as well. We’ve seen teams rack up big plays and put together good drives that has led to them having their offense off the field. Oklahoma State can keep this close. Look for them to have their chances in the red zone and take shots down field. 

Some trends to note, if you like day of the week stats, Kansas State are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Friday. On the flip side Oklahoma State are 15-2 SU in their last 17 games at home, plus they're 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on a Friday. Lastly, evidence shows that Gundy's defense tightens up in Stillwater as 9 of OST's L10 games at home have gone UNDER.

We love a barking home dog! Back OKC tonight and grab those points!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Western Kentucky -6

On Thursday evening at 8PM ET, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs with a 3-3 record will host the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, who are 3-2, in a highly anticipated college football matchup. This game will take place at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston, Louisiana. You can catch the action on ESPNU.

In terms of betting odds, Western Kentucky is favored by -5.5 points against the spread, while Louisiana Tech holds a +5.5 ATS. Additionally, the Week 6 CFB ML odds favor Western Kentucky at -234, with Louisiana Tech at +188. The College Football Betting Total stands at an over/under of 59.5 points.

The Hilltoppers come in with momentum. They took down Middle Tennessee State last week in dominant fashion as this offense continues to put up some impressive numbers. 

They aren’t shy about what they want to do. They’re going to pass the ball and take plenty shots down field. That’s going to be the case here again, as Louisiana Tech has been a struggle at times defensively.

The Bulldogs have been torched at times with the deep pass. They aren’t a team that is built to come back from behind either. They love to establish a run game and this is a game where they don’t match up well at all.

Look for WKU to continue to be aggressive, as they’re going to come out firing the ball all over. An early LT hole will have them on their heels all night long. 

Some trends to note, Western Kentucky are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games on the road, and they're 12-6 ATS in their last 18 games.

Back the Hilltoppers on Thursday night. Louisiana Tech are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

UW -18

Saturday the Washington Huskies (4-0, 3-1 ATS) are set to face off against the Arizona Wildcats (3-1, 3-1 ATS) in an eagerly anticipated College Football matchup. The game will kick off at 10:00 p.m. ET at Arizona Stadium, and it will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.

The odds currently favor Washington with a Moneyline (ML) of -1000, while Arizona is at +650. In terms of the spread, Washington is expected to win by a margin of 17.5 to 18 points, and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 69.5.

In their previous games, Washington secured a convincing victory over the California Golden Bears, winning 59-32, while Arizona narrowly edged past the Stanford Cardinal with a score of 21-20. As of now, Washington holds the #8 spot in the Coaches Poll.

We’re on the Arizona and Washington Over here with some PAC-12 after dark. Washington is just unloading on offense right now. They missed one of their top receivers last week and it didn’t phase them one bit as they racked up 59 points in a dominant win over Cal.

The good thing for us and this Over is that Washington’s defense is a struggle. The Huskies allowed 32 points to Cal and Arizona does have some fire power themselves. They come in 3-1 and aren’t shy about taking shots.

This game is going to be played at Washington’s pace. They love up tempo and will push everything. They almost force the issue, but they have so many playmakers they can do as they please really. This will be a close game, with both teams being able to move the ball.

An early score will open things up for us and put this over on track.

Some trends to note, UW are 7-0 SU in their L7 games against an opponent in the Pac-12, and are 6-0 SU in their L6 games against Arizona, lastly they're 7-1 ATS in their L8 games. On the other side Arizona are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games at home.

We're on Penix Jr. and the Huskies to get it done on Saturday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Iowa -10

On Saturday, Kinnick Stadium will be the battleground where the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-1, 2-2 ATS) play host to the Michigan State Spartans (2-2, 2-2 ATS). Iowa, currently sitting at 0-1 in the Big Ten, will kick off the action at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on NBC.

Here are the current betting odds: Moneyline (ML): Michigan State +340 | Iowa -450, and Against the Spread (ATS): Michigan State +11.5 | Iowa -11.5, for the Over/Under (O/U), it's at 36.5.

Iowa has value here laying the number.

Michigan State has just been in turmoil as of late. After firing their head coach, they’ve come out with back to back blowout losses. First it started against Washington where they were beaten 41-7 in a game that was never even close. They gave an encore with a 31-9 loss to Maryland last week.

The Hawkeyes come in 3-1 but are in a bounce back spot. They couldn’t handle Penn State and suffered their first loss of the year. 

This is a lopsided game where Iowa can wear down MSU. 

The Hawkeye run right at teams and they’re going to do just that here. Look for them to run downhill early and often and lean on their offensive line. 

As this game goes on, we’ll see more and more of a push up front from them.

Some trends to note, Michigan State are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games, plus they're 3-7 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the Big Ten. On the other side Iowa are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, 8-2 SU in their last 10 games., and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.

 We're backing Iowa -10 on Saturday in this one.

 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

 Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Maryland -14

This Saturday, the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2) will go head-to-head against the undefeated Maryland Terrapins (4-0). The odds and point spread favor the Terrapins, with a -14 spread and a total over-under set at 50 points. On the moneyline, Indiana is listed as a +450 underdog, while the Terps are the -550 favorites. In their recent matchup, the Hoosiers emerged victorious against the Akron Zips, securing a 29-27 win. Meanwhile, the Terrapins dominated their last game, defeating the Michigan State Spartans with a final score of 31-9. 

Maryland is opening some eyes here in the Big 10.

The Terps come in after covering back to back games, which includes a dominant performance to carry their momentum into play here.

They've scored over 30 points in all 4 games as this offense is rolling. They play with such a tempo, it's been tough for opposing defenses to even try and slow down. Indiana is going to have their hands full and then some here in this one.

The Hoosiers needed overtime to beat a lowly Akron team last week as they just haven't looked sharp on the offensive side themselves. That is going to be showcased here as they won't be able to keep up with this Maryland side.

Look for the Terps to keep that tempo going and for Indiana to be on their heels all night long. 

Some trends to note, Indiana are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games, and they're 1-8 SU in their last 9 games on the road. On the other side, Maryland are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games, are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home, and lastly they're 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.

We're home the home team on Saturday ATS. My model has this one as a 17-point win!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Houston +10

College Football betting action on Saturday sees Texas Tech and Houston set to clash at Jones AT&T Stadium at 3:30 PM ET. The odds for this game stand at Texas Tech -10 on the spread, Texas Tech -360 on the moneyline, and Houston +310. The over/under is set at 51.5 points. In their most recent outing, the Cougars secured an impressive W, defeating Sam Houston with a commanding score of 38-7. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders had a challenging Week 4 matchup and suffered a 20-13 loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers. 

The Coogs are worth the move at this kind of number.

Houston isn 't as bad as this number indicates. On top of that, the Red Raiders aren't as good as this number indicates either! 

Houston rebounded with a 38-7 win over SHSU and it gives them some confidence heading into this road matchup. The Red Raiders defense isn't one that is overwhelming either. The Coogs can sustain drives and put together some big plays. 

Texas Tech is still getting adjusted to their balanced offensive style and it's been a difficult transition for some. Houston can expose that and keep this one close, with a chance to steal it outright. 

Some trends to note, Houston are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games, and on the other side Texas Tech are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played in September.

We're on the Cougars ATS on Saturday. The line seems off to me. I'll back the dog.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

USC -21.5

Late add for us on Saturday AM. I wasn't going to touch this game, but it's just to mouth-watering, and I want a piece of the action. Check the start time. 9AM Pacific Time / Noon ET. This is an early kickoff folks!

Reigning Heisman winner Caleb Williams will have an opportunity to strengthen his case for a repeat victory as he leads the #8 USC Trojans (4-0, 2-2 ATS, 2-0 in Pac-12) into battle against the Colorado Buffaloes (3-1, 2-2 ATS, 0-1 in P12) in a Pac-12 showdown at Folsom Field.

The Trojans enter the game as substantial 21.5-point favorites, with the over/under for total points set at 73. In terms of straight-up betting, USC carries a -1200 moneyline favorite status, while the Buffaloes are considered significant underdogs at +900.

The Trojans come in averaging 570YPG, and Colorado give up 475 YPG on defense, and allow 33PPG on average. The Trojans boast the third-best passing offense in the nation, averaging 377.2 yards per game, while the Buffaloes' defense, ranks 111th in the country by allowing 269.2 passing yards per game. Just last week, Colorado's defense was exposed, surrendering 217 passing yards and three touchdowns in the first half alone against Oregon.

Some trends to note, SC are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games against Colorado, and they're 7-0 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Colorado. Plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against the Buffs. On the other side Colorado are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games.

The Buffaloes don't have the horses to keep up with the Men of Troy on Saturday, no matter what time it is. Caleb Williams will show his Heisman voters everything today, and even if he only plays 3x quarters in this one the Trojans cover.

The Buffaloes aren't that good.

Back USC -21.5. Sorry Prime.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

BYU -2.5

On Friday night, college football gamblers get Cincinnati and BYU. The Bearcats enter the game  2-2, while BYU stands at 3-1. This one will be in Provo. Both teams suffered defeats in their respective conference openers: Cincinnati fell to #14 Oklahoma 20-6, while BYU went down to #24 Kansas, 38-27. As for the odds, BYU is currently favored at -2.5, with Cincinnati positioned as +2.5 underdogs. When it comes to the moneyline, BYU is listed at -120, and the OVER/UNDER for the game is set at 50 points. 

BYU takes on a Cinci team that has struggled this year. They have a loss to Miami OH under their belts already and come in off a loss to Oklahoma last week. 

Cincinnati has had far too many issues so far. They have had issues on both sides of the ball and their inability to move the ball has been the biggest flaw. They have found themselves in big holes and they're simply not built to dig themselves out of it.

BYU has looked good overall and they have a win over Arkansas under their belts to work of. They struggled against Kansas last week defensively, but this is a perfect team to bounce back against. With all the struggles Cinci has had, this is a great matchup for the Coogs. 

Some trends to note, Cincinnati are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games. BYU are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games, 13-2 SU in their last 15 games played in September, and if you like day of the week trends BYU sits at 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on a Friday, and Cinci are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on a Friday.

We're on BYU ATS in this one on Friday. TGIF.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Western Kentucky -5.5

This week's game is set for Thursday night in Week 5 of college football, featuring the MTSU Blue Raiders (1-3, 1-3 ATS) taking on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (2-2, 2-2 ATS) at 7:30 PM ET, broadcasted on CBS Sports Network. The Hilltoppers are the favorites with a -5.5 point spread, while their Moneyline stands at -230, contrasting with the Blue Raiders' +190. The game's total is set at 59.5 points, and it's an eagerly anticipated annual showdown known as the "100 Miles of Hate" matchup.

These two teams last squared off in 2022, resulting in a 35-17 victory for the Hilltoppers. MTSU has struggled recently, losing their last four meetings. Their most recent win in this rivalry was in 2018 when they triumphed 29-10 at home. Last week in their previous games, MTSU fell to Colorado State 31-23, while WK suffered a 27-24 loss to Troy.

The Hilltoppers offense is going to be too much here. WKU comes in putting up 31.8 points per game as they aren't shy about what they're going to do. They will take plenty of chances down field and aren't afraid to go for it on 4th downs. 

This is a MTSU defense that has had it's issues at times.

They're going to have their hands full as they've struggled with air raid teams. WKU can get out early and will continue to keep their foot on the gas in this one. 

Some trends to note, MTSU are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played in September, also they're 2-4 SU in their last 6 games on the road, and they're 1-7 SU in their last 8 games against Western Kentucky. On the other side, WK are 8-4 SU in their L12 games, and are 9-2 SU in their L11 games at home.

We're backing the Hilltoppers on Thursday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday Night 7* CFB ATS Play

USC -34

In a highly anticipated Pac-12 showdown this Saturday, the USC Trojans, ranked #5, boasting an impressive 3-0 record, will clash with the Arizona State Sun Devils, who are currently 1-2. The odds heavily favor the Trojans, with a substantial 34-point spread in their favor. The over/under point total for the game stands at 62.5.

USC's recent dominance was showcased in their commanding 56-10 victory over Stanford, while the Sun Devils faced a tough loss, falling 29-0 to Fresno State in their previous outing.

This is a big line, but it’s worth taking the Trojans here. USC has blown everyone out they’ve played thus far. The latest victim was Stanford, in a 56-10 route. The Trojans aren’t messing here in 2023. They are coming out with a purpose and they’re demolishing teams right now. Arizona State on the flip side is doing the complete opposite.

The Sun Devils we’re shut out by Fresno State, at home, 29-0 last week. USC is about 10 steps up from that Fresno side. Look for USC’s Caleb Williams to have another field day with an opposing secondary. He’s been slinging the ball all over the field with ease and this Sun Devils side doesn’t have the speed to keep up. The Trojans will use pace and have ASU reeling early in this one.

We're on the Men Of Troy ATS in this one! They'll win by 40+.

PS. We love the USC Song girls too!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

South Carolina -6

In this Saturday's college football showdown at Williams-Brice Stadium, the struggling South Carolina Gamecocks (1-2 - 2-1 ATS) clash with the Mississippi State Bulldogs (2-1 -1-2 ATS), an SEC rival. The Bulldogs aim for redemption after a tough 41-14 loss to LSU, while the Gamecocks seek a home win following a 24-14 defeat against Georgia. South Carolina holds the edge as the Spread Favorite (-6) (opened at -4.5), with ML odds at SC (-239) and MSST (+194). The total is set at 50 points.

We're on the Gamecocks here, laying the points.

South Carolina takes on a Bulldogs team that is still trying to figure out their offensive style. Last year they were all air attack and now they're back to a more balanced style that just hasn't worked out that well through the first few games this season. 

This will also be their first road test of the season and that won't be easy under the lights here in SC.

The Gamecocks nearly took down the Bulldogs last week, but ran out of steam late. Still, they have a lot of good takeaways from the game as their defense is swarming. They're going to lean on them here and they should be able to produce some turnovers and long 3rd down situations from Mississippi State. 

Look for this one to be won on the defensive side, as South Carolina is just too overpowering. 

Some trends to note, the Rebels are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against South Carolina, and are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games against SC. Mississippi State are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the SEC. South Carolina are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing at home against the Rebels. SC are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against an opponent in the SEC, and lastly they're 4-1 SU in their last 5 games played on a Saturday when playing at home. 

We're backing the Cocks on Saturday -6. (Love -5.5)

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Florida -28

This weekend in college football betting, it's Charlotte (1-2) taking on the #25 ranked Florida Gators (2-1) at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Charlotte kicks off as a +27.5pt underdog, while Florida is the strong favorite at -27.5. The moneyline heavily favors Florida at -7000, whereas Charlotte stands at +2000. Keep an eye on the game's total set at 49.5 points.

Florida has value here on Saturday. 

The Gators have all the momentum on their side right now. They come in off one of their more impressive wins over the last few seasons as they dominated the Volunteers at home last week. It was a game where they simply took control from the start and didn't let up. 

While their offense is getting production, the defense is really picking things up. They're creating havoc in the opponent's backfield and they'll be far too fast for this Charlotte side. Look for them to put together a lot of different blitz packages, confusing this Charlotte offensive line. 

This game will simply be too quick for the 49ers. 

Look for Florida to put their foot on the gas early and not let up as they look to continue their solid play. 

Some trends to note, Florida are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games at home, and they are 15-3 SU in their last 18 games played in September. On the other side Charlotte are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games, are 4-14 SU in their last 18 games, and lastly, they're 2-8 SU in their last 10 games on the road.

We're backing the Gators -28 in this one.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Wake Forest -3.5

In this exciting ACC showdown, the undefeated Wake Forest Demon Deacons (3-0) are gearing up to take on the struggling Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-2) this Saturday at Truist Field. The odds are in favor of the Demon Deacons, who are sitting as 4-point favorites against the Yellow Jackets. Looking at the moneyline, Wake Forest stands at -188, while Georgia Tech is the underdog at +157. The over/under for this game is set at 59 points

We're on Wake Forest here, laying the points.

This is a nice matchup for the Demon Deacons, who come in a perfect 3-0 on the year. They needed a come from behind win against Old Dominion last time out as they continue to find ways to win. 

They rank 33rd in passing in the nation, which is a huge accomplishment as they lost Hartman in the offseason. 

Wake Forest still isn't shy about what they want to do. They aren't afraid to sling the ball down the field and this Georgia Tech defense is very vulnerable over the top. The Yellow Jackets allowed 48 points to Ole Miss last week and will have their hands full once again on Saturday. 

Look for Wake Forest to push the issue here and take plenty of shots down field. 

Some trends to note, Georgia Tech are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games when playing on the road against WF. Wake Forest are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, and are 16-2 SU in their last 18 games at home. Lastly WF are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games played in September. Both teams are 1-2 ATS this year.

Back Wake Forest -3.5 on Saturday!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Air Force -4.5

In this exciting Mountain West Conference matchup, the Air Force Falcons (3-0, 1-2 ATS) are set to take on the San Jose State Spartans (1-3, 3-1 ATS) this Friday. The odds favor Air Force, with a 4.5-point spread and a -200 ML for straight-up bettors. On the other side, the Spartans stand as the +165 ML underdogs, looking to pull off an upset. The over/under is set at 46.5.

The top rushing team in the country against a team that can't stop the run. Not a good recipe for success. We’re on Air Force, laying the points here.

The Falcons have looked great through their first 3 games of the season. Coming into play, they’re a perfect 3-0, with a dominant performance over the Utah State Aggies last time out.

They continued to put together their solid run game, as they rumbled for 344 yards in the win.

They’re going to establish the same thing here as they know their identity. They’re going to run down hill and wear out San Jose State. The Spartans have looked abysmal going 1-3 so far and come in after falling to Toledo last week.

Some trends to note, AF are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games, are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against San Jose State, and are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games on the road. For SJST the trends say they're 3-8 ATS in their L11 game, also they're 0-6 ATS in their L6 games against an opponent in the Mountain West conference.

We're on the Falcons on Friday night. My model has this one as a 10-14 point game. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin -5.5

In an exciting B10 showdown set for Friday night, the Purdue Boilermakers (1-2, 1-2 ATS) will be stepping onto their home turf as 5.5-point underdogs against the Wisconsin Badgers (2-1, 1-2 ATS). The over/under for this game is set at 53.5. For those looking to place straight-up bets, Wisconsin stands as the -225 favorite, while Purdue presents an intriguing opportunity as the +180 underdog. 

Wisconsin has value here at this number.

The Badgers have a huge edge here. They are going to be far more physical than this 1-2 Purdue side. The Boilermakers were thrown around by the Orange last week in a 15 point loss.

Wisconsin took down Georgia Southern in a game they had to come from behind in. Still, this Badgers side isn’t shy about what they want to do.

They’ll wear teams down and in the second half break away.

Look for them to do that here as they’ll run down hill and force Purdue on their heels as the game goes on.

Some trends to note, Wisconsin are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against Purdue, are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games against Purdue, and are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games when playing on the road against Purdue. On the other side Purdue are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games, are 1-4 SU in their L5 games, and lastly they're 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games at home.

We're on the road team. Take the Badgers -5.5. Wisconsin wins by 7-10.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

TCU -7

The TCU Horned Frogs (1-1) face the Houston Cougars (1-1) at TDECU Stadium on September 16, 2023. TCU is favored by 7.5 points, with an over/under of 64.5.

We're on TCU here, laying the points.

Houston has started the season very suspect, as Rice took them down in overtime last week. The Cougars were also underwhelming in Week 1, putting up just 17 points over UTSA.

TCU rebounded with a 41-6 win over Nicholls State last week and got their mojo back.

This is a great matchup for them. They can put together some sustained drives and should be able to take a page out of the Rice playbook and use their speed on the edge to pick up some big plays.

Some trends note. Texas Christian are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games. Texas Christian are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against Houston. Texas Christian are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games on the road.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Vanderbilt -4.5

On Saturday UNLV, with a record of 1-1, will face Vanderbilt, who hold a 2-1 record. The Rebels are entering the matchup as 4.5-point underdogs, and the projected total points for the game is set at 59.5. In terms of the moneyline, Vanderbilt is the favorite with odds of -190, while UNLV is the underdog with a moneyline of +165 for those looking to bet on the straight-up outcome. 

We’re on Vandy here. 

Vanderbilt heads into UNLV and we’re on the visitors. Don’t over look Vandy this year as they are 2-1 and they can score. In the two wins, they have put up 35 and 47 points, as they’re able to move quickly and attack the middle of the field. 

UNLV has a very soft secondary, which is going to provide a lot of downfield opportunities here. They come in after losing 35-7 to Michigan in a game where they had no chance. It was a struggle all night and had Michigan not made some mistakes deep in their territory, this score could have been way worse. 

Look for Vandy to control the pace and dictate a lot here. They’re a step above this UNLV side and will showcase that on Saturday.

Some trends to note, the Commodores are 7-3 ATS in their last ten road games, and Vanderbilt are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games, are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in the MWC, and are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games played in week 3. On the other side UNLV are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games.

We're on Vandy ATS on Saturday!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Kansas State -3.5

#15 Kansas State, 2-0, faces 2-0 Missouri at Memorial Stadium this Saturday. K-State -185, Mizzou +150, Wildcats favored by 3.5, O/U 47.5.

Kansas State and Mizzou meet Saturday and we’re on the Wildcats. Kansas State has throttled SE Missouri State and Troy in their opening games as they’re clicking on all cylinders right now. 87 points combined has been their offensive production as they’ve beat these two teams with both the run and pass.

Expect for them to wear down Mizzou. The Tigers struggled their way to a win over Middle Tennessee State and now take about 5 steps up in competition.

The Tigers haven’t looked good offensively at times and they have had issues even closing drives when they get into the red zone. Kansas State is the move here as they are more explosive on both sides of the ball.

Some trends to note, Kansas State are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games, and they're 6-1 SU in their last 7 games. Plus they're 13-5 SU in their last 18 games against Missouri. Missouri are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games when playing at home against Kansas State, and are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.

We're backing the Wildcats ATS on Saturday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Virginia +15

The O/U in this one is pegged at 48.5, Virginia comes into this one 0-2 (1-1 ATS), and takes on Maryland 2-0 (0-2 ATS).

This is too many points in this spot for the Cavaliers.

Maryland and Virginia renew their rivalry from the old ACC days entering play on Friday night. Virginia has been embarrassed twice already, getting blown out by Tennessee and losing to James Madison last week. This is a game they’ll get up for.

Virginia led going into the 4th quarter and their offense at least looked like they can be a weapon at times this year. Maryland hasn’t been tested at all, playing two low quality opponents thus far.

This is a game where the Cavaliers will get up for and can control the clock. They will come out with some fire and keep this close throughout.

Some trends to note, Virginia are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against Maryland, and are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games, plus they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Maryland. On the other side Maryland are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Memphis -14

In Week 3 of college football action, we got Navy Midshipmen locked and loaded for a kinda weird Thursday night showdown against the Memphis Tigers. Memphis was favored at -14.5, now we're seeing -13 in some places. The O/U is 47.

We’re backing Memphis here, laying the points.

The Tigers take on a Midshipman, who are 1-1 on the year. After getting throttled by Notre Dame, the Midshipman beat Wagner 24-0 in a very underwhelming performance. This team just doesn’t have any sort of firepower and when you’re running the triple option, you can’t win with no explosive players in the backfield.

Memphis meanwhile comes in after a 37-3 win over Arkansas State. The Tigers aren’t shy about taking their chances down field and they should be able to have similar success to Notre Dame in the opener.

Some trends to note, Navy are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games, and are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Memphis. Memphis are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, and they're 16-4 SU in their last 20 games at home.

Memphis is going to overpower this Navy side on both sides of the ball.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -7

Week 2 College football betting sees (1-0) #11 Texas take on (1-0) #3 Alabama on Saturday in a battle of College heavyweights. This game is the "College GameDay Built by The Home Depot" game from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

We’re on Alabama, laying the points on Saturday night in prime time.

The off the field antics and mind games started quickly in this one as Alabama is putting Texas and their band in the very top of the stadium come Saturday night. 

The Crimson Tide throttled Middle Tennessee in their opener as Jalen Milroe looked extremely sharp. He’s got the ability to beat teams with both his legs and arm and he will have this Texas defense on tilt. Alabama also is just so good at wearing teams out. They will run downhill and as the game continues, they’ll get more and more of a push at the line. 

The explosiveness the Crimson Tide has will be the difference here.

Some trends to note. Texas are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the SEC conference, plus Texas are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games played on a Saturday. For Bama, they're 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home, are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Big 12.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Oregon -6.5

Oregon and their high flying attack invade Texas Tech on Saturday night. The game will start at 7pm ET at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. Oregon is favored to win by 6.5 and the total is set at 68.5 points. In the past, Oregon has taken down TT in their two meetings, with the most recent one happening in 1992.

We’re on the Ducks here as they come in off an absolute beat down of Portland State. Oregon put up 81 last week, as they aren’t shy about what their plans are. They will attack and then keep attacking, as they come at you with so much speed.

Texas Tech, on the other hand, lost their last game to Wyoming with a score of 35-33, even though they were expected to win by 13.5 points.

The Red Raiders had plenty of issues against Wyoming in what was eventually an overtime loss by 2. This is a completely mismatch when you look at it. Tech’s defense just cannot keep up here. Then, when you combine that with Oregon’s explosiveness and this is going to be a lopsided game. 

Some trends to note, Oregon are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games, are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games on the road, and are 12-1 SU in their last 13 games played in September.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -7.5

Notre Dame (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) and North Carolina State (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) meet in Week 2 of the CFB season. Notre Dame opens as a -7.5 road favorite, with the total sitting at 50.5.

We're on the Fighting Irish here.

Their dominance against the ACC has been stellar. They've won 28 straight games against the ACC during the regular season. Combine that with how different these teams have looked thus far and there is a lot of value on ND.

NC State looked weak in a 24-14 win over Uconn in their opener. They had no rhythm offensively and had a ton of issues moving the ball. That hasn't been any issue for the Fighting Irish through their first two games, putting up 42 and 56 points.

Some trends to note. Notre Dame are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games. Notre Dame are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on the road. Notre Dame are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Coast conference. Notre Dame are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Division division. Notre Dame are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games played in September.

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
