--===2019 Outback Bowl===--

Iowa +7

The Hawkeyes are at a key number here on Tuesday.

This one figures to be a battle of two defenses that will likely keep this one lower scoring. That obviously plays in favor to the Hawkeyes here, as they really like to control the tempo and slow things down.

Iowa has had some success on bowl games on New Years, as they are 9-6 ATS and come in off a SU win last year in their bowl contest.

This is a case where Iowa can really take advantage of Mississippi State missing some key pieces on the defensive side and control the line of scrimmage from the outset.

The Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.

Grab the points here. Back Iowa.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Holiday Bowl===--

Northwestern +7

The Wildcats aren’t going to stick out much o paper. However, taking on a Utah team that plays a similar style will benefit them here.

Northwestern finished the season 7-2 SU, as they held losses to just Ohio State and Notre Dame.

This is a matchup where they will be in grind it out mode, as both teams like to control the clock. Look for the Wildcats to do a little better job of it, as they can run the ball with their solid offensive line and set themselves up in some short yardage 3rd down situations. 

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, and are 4-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Utes are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game, and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game..

Expect this one to be close throughout, as the Wildcats have a chance to steal it outright.

Back Northwestern. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Autozone Liberty Bowl===--

Oklahoma State +9

Situationally this one makes a lot of sense on Monday. The Cowboys come into this one a nice underdog play given their success of grabbing points this season.

Oklahoma State has gone 4-0 ATS as an underdog, with outright wins over West Virginia, Boise State, and Texas. This is a team that certainly gets up for the challenge and they’ll take on a Missouri team that isn’t necessarily one of the most overpowering team.

Look for the Cowboys to be able to keep pace with Drew Lock and the offense, as they have proven they can go toe to toe with anyone.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games in December, and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big 12. Cowboys are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games, and are Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.

Grab the points. Back Oklahoma State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 RedBox Bowl===--

Michigan State +1.5

The Spartans have value here on Monday in the Redbox Bowl against the Ducks.

Michigan State will take on one of the best QBs in the nation, but this is a team that is up for the task.

Head coach Mark Dantonio has seen his team win straight up and cover the last 5 games in bowl season. Dantonio is a coach that opens the playbook up and will really get creative for his players.

Look for them to pull out all the stops here and really lean on their big play abilities in this one.

Some trends to note. Spartans are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 bowl games. Ducks are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS win, and are 0-11 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points..

The coaching edge is huge here. This Spartans team will be up for the task and challenge here on Monday.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Cotton Bowl Classic===--

Notre Dame +12.5

The Fighting Irish are going to give Clemson a lot more than they're expecting here.

This line is extremely high for a team that has beaten some top competition here in 2018. The Fighting Irish have one of the best offenses in the NCAA, as QB Ian Book sits with the No. 8 passer rating in the nation. 

Along with their offensive success, Notre Dame's defense is going to add a lot of value here.

Notre Dame rarely allows the big play and that will really be huge here against the Tigers. Clemson likes to try and strike deep, which is something this ND secondary simply will not allow. Notre Dame will have their chances to get off the field on third down, as bringing pressure will be key for them. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. ACC.

Grab the points. Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Peach Bowl===--

Michigan -6.5

This number has dipped below the key number of 7, giving Michigan the value.

The Wolverines have some anger to take out here. 

Michigan was slaughtered by the Buckeyes in the final game of the regular season, keeping them out of the Big Ten Championship and ultimately the BCS Playoff. 

This team is far better than what they showed against the Buckeyes, as this defense is out to prove a lot here. Look for them to put constant pressure on and really force the Gators into some bad decisions. 

Florida struggled against top tier SEC defenses, which is another good sign here. 

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Wolverines are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.

Michigan has been itching to get back out here. Lay the points.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Camping World Bowl===--

Syracuse -1

The Orange still have value even at this number here.

The spread took a huge hit after it was announced QB Will Grier would skip this one. That is obviously just a ginormous blow to a team that relies so heavily on him. 

West Virginia's offense would only go when Grier was in rhythm. Now, Jack Allison gets the nod as he comes in with just 10 passes attempted. Look for him to not only face a lot of pressure but to also really struggle to get his feet underneath him here. 

Some trends to note. Orange are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Orange are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Lay it here. Back Syracuse.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Music City Bowl===--

Purdue +3.5

The Boilermakers are the move here on Friday afternoon. 

Purdue's season was highlighted with a blowout win over #6 Ohio State this season as this team proved they can hang with anyone. 

Purdue has the ability to strike quickly as they take a lot of shots deep down field. 

That will be exactly what they look to do here, especially early on. The Boilermakers will take on an Auburn team that has gone 1-4 SU in their last 5 bowl games under Gus Malzahn. 

Some trends to note. Boilermakers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.

Auburn is very one-dimensional, which is a recipe for disaster against this Purdue team.

Back Purdue.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY

---==2018 Texas Bowl==---

Baylor +4

The Baylor Bears have a nice home field advantage in this bowl game. The Bears are very close to home, while Vanderbilt has to make a decent trip to Houston.

Matt Rhule has been great as an underdog in his career. Rhule does a great job preparing his teams with extra time to get ready for the game also. While I don't dislike Derek Mason, I do believe this is a coaching advantage for the Baylor Bears.

The Bears weren't expected to get to a bowl game, and now that they are here, I expect them to be very motivated to win this one.

To me this is a game that should go down to the last team with the ball. If you expect a back and forth game that is close all the way, you have to take the four points.

Back Baylor.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Pinstripe Bowl===--

Wisconsin +3

This is one of the more closely knit games on the bowl schedule. 

Wisconsin and Miami are very similar in their styles on both sides of the ball. 

Here, this is going to be a spot where the Badgers can really control this game with their front line. While QB Alex Hornibrook is out, that is nothing to be alarmed about. The Badgers are a run first offense and will really look to wear Miami down early here. 

Expect a heavy dosage from the Badgers rushing attack, which should control the pace of this game and the tempo. 

Some trends to note. Hurricanes are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games in December. Hurricanes are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games.

Miami's struggles in neutral site games, combined with the Badgers rushing attack and defensive abilities is enough here to back Wisconsin.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday  8* CFB ATS Play

--===2018 Cheez-It Bowl===--

TCU -1

The Horned Frogs have value here on Wednesday night in the Cheez-It Bowl. 

Times are quite different for this California Bears team here in 2018. Typically known for their aggressive scoring styles and quick strike ability, they have become a much more one-dimensional team here. 

They certainly aren't as threatening as they've used to be and that will play a factor here against a TCU team that plays very quickly themselves. Look for TCU to put their foot on the gas early and really try to wear this Cal team out. 

Some trends to note. Golden Bears are 15-31 ATS in their last 46 games following a straight up loss. Golden Bears are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games in December.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CFB ATS Play

---==Hawaii Bowl==---

Louisiana Tech +1

Here, fading Hawaii in a home spot is a nice move. 

Hawaii has just an atrocious record when it comes to being a favorite in a game. They are not a team that is built to face this kind of offense. 

Hawaii gives up over 35 points per game and has given up over 40 points to various teams with winning records. 

Look for Louisiana Tech to use a lot of pace and really force this Hawaii team to have to turn it into a track meet almost. With that in mind, Hawaii simply cannot keep up here, which will force them out of their comfort zone early.

Some trends to note. Rainbow Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. CUSA, and are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games. Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 bowl games.

Grab LT here as they should be able to control this game from the outset with their tempo. 

Back Louisiana Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play 

Army -5

The Houston Cougars aren't even close to the same team they were earlier this year. Houston is without their star player on offense in King (QB). They are also without their star DT Oliver. They have lost several guys from the coaching staff. What's Houston motivation level here? That's very tough to say, but I don't see why they would be all that excited.

Army has been great under Jeff Monken. Monken has been tremendous leading this program. Army is going to eat up the clock and slowly move the ball up and down the field against a Houston defense that simply isn't very good.

Houston with a backup quarterback isn't going to be able to get the big plays on offense that we have seen earlier in the season.

Army will be ready for the Armed Forces Bowl. Will Houston? Lay the short number here.

Back Army.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

---==Birmingham Bowl==---

Wake Forest +3

The Demon Deacons have value at this number here on Saturday. 

For starters, Memphis has one of the worst defenses in the entire NCAA. They have been let down time and time again by their inability to get off the field on third down. 

That will play a huge factor here for this resurgent Wake Forest team that came alive towards the end of the season. 

Along with that, Memphis will be without RB Darrell Henderson who will skip the bowl game to focus on the NFL Draft. That is huge blow to this offense as he is the backbone that gets them rolling. Look for them to be very sluggish here, especially in the early going. 

Some trends to note. Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Bowl games, and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in December. Demon Deacons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in December, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 bowl games.

This is a nice spot to grab the points, as Wake Forest can take this one outright. 

Back Wake Forest.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

South Florida +3.5

Grabbing the points has value here.

The Bulls are an offense that strike quickly and often. 

South Florida comes into this one averaging nearly 30 points per game as Jordan Cronkrite has led this offense with his ground attack. Cronkrite has rumbled for nearly 1100 yards and his rushing abilities really open this offense up. 

Look for them to establish this early here and really wear down Marshall.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home. Bulls are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.

Grab the points here.

Back South Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Northern Illinois +3

The Huskies are a team that will just wear you down. 

NIU did exactly that to Buffalo en route to another MAC title this season. Buffalo raced out to an early lead, which proved to be nothing NIU couldn't overcome. 

The Huskies just wore them down completely and put their foot on the gas in the 2nd half, which led to what was eventually a huge come from behind win.

They have the edge here as well, as UAB is a team that isn't used to the physicalness and toughness this Huskies team brings. Look for them to really be forced to stack the box, as NIU will be able to get a big push up front here. 

Some trends to note. Huskies are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Huskies are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.

Grab the points here.

Back NIU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Appalachian State -6.5

Appalachian State comes in with plenty of momentum here. 

The Sun Belt Champions have had one of their most memorable seasons thus far. They did everything right, including a dominant performance in the Sun Belt Championship Game.

This team just wears you down. They like to work the clock and really come right at you with their run game. Once that gets established they can hit you with the deep ball and really open things up with their playbook. 

Along with that, they come in playing some really good football. This team has won 5 straight games, while MTSU dropped 2 of their final 3 games of the season.

Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Mountaineers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

With MTSU limping in, this is a nice spot on the Mountaineers.

Back Appalachian State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

--- 2018 Camellia Bowl ---

Georgia Southern -3

The Georgia Southern Eagles have a big home field advantage in this one. Eastern Michigan is playing a long way from home. Eastern Michigan makes the long trip, and this isn't exactly a tropical location where everyone would want to play. This game is in Montgomery, Alabama. Georgia Southern can get excited to be playing close to home and get their fan base to travel here. It's far more unlikely Eastern Michigan can do the same.

What is Eastern Michigan's single biggest weakness on defense? Stopping the run. Why is that a bad thing? Georgia Southern runs it on nearly every single play. Shai Werts leads a very good rushing attack that should be able to navigate their way down the field on a consistent basis in this one.

Eastern Michigan has almost no running game, and they aren't good at stopping the run. That's been a bad combination in bowl games in the past, and I don't see it working out well for them here either.

Some trends of note. Eagles are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game. Eagles are 11-25 ATS in their last 36 games following a straight up win.

Back Georgia Southern.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

--- 2018 Las Vegas Bowl ---

Fresno State -4

Laying the points in the Las Vegas Bowl is where the value sits. 

Both Fresno and ASU have impressed this season. However, the Sun Devils will be without one of their key pieces here. 

WR N'Keal Harry has elected to sit out this contest, as he preps himself for the NFL. That is a huge blow to the offense of the Sun Devils, as Harry has played the biggest role in this offense. He is the main target out wide and will certainly cause a lot of issues for Arizona State on Saturday. 

Along with that, this Fresno State offense is one of the best. They put up 34.9 points per game and have the ability to strike with the big play. 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games.

Fresno State deserves a lot of credit this season. Look for them to cap off a special year here.

Back Fresno State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play 

--- 2018 Cure Bowl ---

Tulane -3.5

The Sun Belt is one of the weakest conferences in the country. In fact, it may be the very weakest. Tulane plays in the American Athletic Conference, which is a big step up from the Sun Belt. Tulane has been playing much tougher teams all year. When I see this kind of a strength of schedule differential and a short line, I think there is value.

Tulane has a great coach in Willie Fritz, and I would expect them to be well prepared for this game. Justin McMillan gives the team a very athletic quarterback who also can throw it when needed. Tulane shouldn't need to throw it much though. Why? Tulane has a great option running attack, and Louisiana is one of the worst defenses in the country against the run.

Louisiana also likes to run the ball, but Tulane has gotten much stronger against the run as the season has gone on.

I think Tulane wins this one comfortably.

A couple of trends of note. Green Wave are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. The Ragin' Cajuns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Back Tulane.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

North Dakota State -11

The FCS Playoffs pins two rivals against one another as South Dakota State and North Dakota State clash on Friday night. 

Here, laying the points has value. 

For starters, this has been a series dominated by NDSU. They lead the all time series 62-41-5 and come in off a win back in September against SDSU. 

This team can just wear opponents down with their run game. They did exactly that in the Quarterfinals, as they took down Colgate 35-0 in a game where they simply ran right at them, eventually pushing them back on their heels. Look for the same here tonight, as they will control the line of scrimmage from the start. 

Back North Dakota State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -13.5

The Crimson Tide and Georgia meeting in the Title game is becoming a norm here. 

Once again, Alabama has value.

This Crimson Tide team is extremely threatening and they simply can strike on any play. Whether it be on the ground or through the air, their speed and physical play is just too much for teams here in 2018. 

They even matchup well with Georgia, who has struggled some on the defensive end. This is going to be a case where Alabama just wears them down and runs away with this one.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games and are 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

The number is too low here. The theme goes on for Alabama, as they roll into the playoffs.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY

Memphis +3

The UCF Knights aren't the same team without Milton at quarterback. UCF will still be good running the ball, but I wouldn't expect them to be able to throw it around the same way with Mack at quarterback. That makes Memphis' defensive job much easier. They'll try to load up the box and force UCF to throw the ball here.

Memphis ranks third in the nation in yards per carry. UCF is 79th at stopping the run. Memphis should be able to get the job done on the ground in this one. They have enough of a passing game to keep UCF honest.

Memphis has come so close to beating UCF the last two times they have played them. There is no doubt the Tigers badly want this game, and with UCF being shorthanded Memphis has a better opportunity to beat them. I expect them to take advantage of the opportunity.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

UAB +1.5

Bill Clark is a tremendous head coach. UAB didn't even have a football team two years ago. They jump right back into FBS football and they are great right away. That's the sign of a well-coached team. Clark's team looked bad last week, but why was that? They sat out everyone who was banged up, and they knew they'd be playing in the CUSA title game this week. They had no incentive to win last week. This is the game that matters to them.

Middle Tennessee State had to win last week to get to this game. The Blue Raiders did their job, but I think people are reading far too much into the results from last week. This is a case of recency bias driving the betting line.

UAB has been very good all year, and they have a great running game. MTSU hasn't been very good at stopping the run this year. Look for UAB to win this one with a good rushing attack and a very solid defense.

Back UAB.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington -5.5

The Washington Huskies were favored by 5 points on the road in Salt Lake City earlier this year. Washington won that game 21-7. Washington is much healthier than they were earlier in the season. Utah is far more banged up than they were in the game earlier this year.

The Utes are without their starting quarterback and their starting running back here.

Utah is a good team, but they don't have the same explosive offense without Huntley at quarterback. Washington has their starting RB back and a good tight end back now. The Huskies should score more than expected here.

Utah isn't good enough to get a bunch of big plays here. The Huskies defense is first in the nation giving up only 9 plays of 30 yards or more so far this season.

Washington is a good value at this price point, and I think they are clearly the more complete team.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

BYU +11

The BYU Cougars and Utah Utes meet for the Holy War in Utah on Saturday. This is a massive rivalry game. There is little doubt that Utah has been the better team this year, but BYU has a great defense and that can keep you in the game.

Additionally, BYU faces a Utah team that isn't playing at full strenght. Utah is without their starting quarterback and their star running back. Huntley is a game changer at quarterback and Moss has been the go to guy in the backfield. This Utah backfield isn't the same without these guys.

With a posted total of 44.5, grabbing double digits is a good move. This should be a tight low scoring game all the way.

I see Utah having to settle for field goals instead of punching it in against a BYU defense that has been great in the red zone.

Back BYU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

NC State -7

The Wolfpack and Tar Heels renew their rivalry and this year it's NC State who is by far the better of the two teams. 

North Carolina has simply struggled to slow anyone down. The Tar Heels give up 34.6 points per game and it's been ugly. They continue to give up the big play time and time again, never keeping any sort of momentum.

As for NC State, they put up 33.5 points themselves and match up perfectly with this Tar Heels team. They should be able to find success wearing them down and forcing them back on their heels early in this one.

Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Wolfpack are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

This is too low of a number here.

Back NC State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play 

Oklahoma -2.5

Oklahoma has always had the Mountaineers number. This season should be no different. 

The Sooners come in with just 1 one loss on the season and an outside shot at making the BCS Playoff. 

Kyler Murray continues to torch opposing defenses. He has averaged at least 300 yards and 60 rush yards per game for the entire season as he can beat teams with both his arm and legs. 

He'll have a chance to keep this Mountaineers defense on edge all night long, as he has been in some kind of groove here in 2018. 

To go along with that, the road has not phased the Sooners. They have won 19 straight true road contests, the longest active streak in the FBS. 

Some trends to note. Sooners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. Sooners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

West Virginia has not beat the Sooners since joining the Big 12. Look for that trend to continue here.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Nebraska +9

The Nebraska Cornhuskers aren't the same team they were a couple months ago. In September, Nebraska was a disappointing team in most people's eyes. Nebraska lost close games at home to both Colorado and Troy. They weren't supposed to do this under Scott Frost were they? The thing that most people lost sight of is this was a huge transition for this team. Nebraska was learning a whole new system and changing to a style they haven't played before.

Scott Frost has proven that this system works in the past, and of late Nebraska is really playing much better. Nebraska is a much better team than their record would indicate. Nebraska is 12th in the nation when it comes to yards per carry.

Iowa plays a bunch of close games. The Hawkeyes have already lost at home against both Wisconsin and Northwestern. Nebraska outplayed Northwestern on the road and was unfortunate to lose that game.

Nebraska should keep this one close with their rushing attack and Iowa's lack of ability to pick up big plays on offense.

Back Nebraska.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Ole Miss +12.5

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are a better team than the Ole Miss Rebels, but they are getting too much respect from the oddsmakers here. Mississippi State is still a one dimensional offense in key games with Nick Fitzgerald at quarterback.

Ole Miss has the most explosive plays in the country, and it isn't even close. The Rebels passing attack is tremendous with Jordan Ta'amu and a group of amazing wide receivers. This is the best group of receivers in the SEC, and arguably the best WR's in the country. They should get their big plays against the Bulldogs secondary.

The Egg Bowl is a major rivalry game, and we are catching this many points at home with a great offense. These games tend to be closer than expected, and Ole Miss should be highly motivated to put in a strong performance in what will be their final game of the season.

Back Ole Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Miami OH -17 

The Redhawks season is on the line here Tuesday night. Laying the points here has value.

The Redhawks are playing with extreme confidence, as they have won back to back games to save their potential postseason berth. 

Wins over Ohio and on the road in NIU have them poised here on Senior Day against a lowly Ball State team. 

This offense is in such a rhythm and should give the Cardinals plenty of issues. Ball State offers one of the worst defenses in the conference, giving up over 31 points per game. Look for the Redhawks to use a lot of pace here and keep this secondary on edge all night long.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.

Lay the points.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Cincinnati +7.5

The Bearcats catching this number is a nice move on Saturday.

This is a spot where Cincinnati is going to hang the entire game and can keep up with the Knights. 

Cincinnati has averaged 35 points per game compared to just the 14.9 they give up. This team is overwhelming on both sides of the ball and will give this UCF team a lot of things to think about throughout Saturday's game.

RB Michael Warren II is the one who will set the tone here. Warren has rushed for over 1000 yards on the year and he opens the entire playbook up for options for Cincinnati when he gets rolling. 

Some trends to note. Knights are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in November.

Grab the points.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Rice +42.5

This isn't an easy pick to make, but I think it is the right one. This is a non-conference game that means almost nothing to LSU. Why would they care about this one? LSU plays Texas A&M next week, and that should be a huge showdown. 

The Tigers need to be ready for that game. They can coast through this one. Late in the season we frequently see teams just shut it down late in the game and use the backups and 3rd stringers. I don't see any reason why LSU wouldn't do that in this game.

Rice is still playing hard, and the Owls play at a slow tempo. LSU plays at a slow tempo as well. There won't be very many possessions in this game. The line sits at more than 6 touchdowns. Rice is really bad and they'll lose here, but they are playing an LSU team that has nothing to prove. 

Additionally, LSU has played down to competition for many years in a row. I don't think it changes here.

Back Rice.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Indiana +28.5

This is a nice spot for the Hoosiers and the points here.

Indiana will catch Michigan right before Ohio State week. The #4 team in the nation needs essentially 3 wins to find themselves in the BCS Playoff, with the Buckeye game looking like it is the only realistic chance for a loss. 

With their minds completely on that one, this is a spot Indiana can go in and give them some fits. 

The Hoosiers offense is one that can strike on you. They are putting up nearly 28 points per game as they take their fair share of shots down field. They'll certainly open the playbook here for this one, knowing what they're up against too.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game.

Michigan is going to be looking ahead big time here. Look for Indiana to try to be aggressive throughout and really put the Wolverines on their heels.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -4.5

The Mountaineers laying this low of a number has value.

Oklahoma State comes in off an emotional loss, one that may be tough to get over. The Cowboys have had a very dissapointing season to say the least, but a win over Oklahoma would have given them some sucess here in 2018.

They elected to go for 2 down by 1 in the final moments, only to fail it and drop the game by 1. Now they must reshift their focus to the Mountaineers, who have just as much of a threatening offense as the Sooners. 

West Virginia averages 41 points per game and this is a revenge spot for them. The Cowboys have won 3 straight in the series, but this is by far the best West Virginia team they will have run into in recent years. 

Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. Mountaineers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf.

Will Grier is one of the best in the nation. Look for him to showcase that against a very weak defense.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Nebraska -1

This is a game between two teams going in different directions right now. Nebraska is much better than their record would indicate. They lost a couple misleading games against Troy and Colorado. They also lost a very close contest against Ohio State in Columbus. Scott Frost is an elite coach, and this team is getting much better as the season moves along.

Michigan State has serious injury problems on offense. The Spartans have virtually no running game, and their top two wide receivers are injured. Now, they are playing a backup quarterback much of the time as well. The Spartans just can't match the Cornhuskers explosiveness.

While Nebraska isn't going to finish with a great record, I have little doubt that Frost wants some momentum to build off of to finish this season off. Nebraska takes care of business here.

Back Nebraska.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Boise State -20

The Broncos have value on the road here in New Mexico on Friday night. 

Boise State comes into this one fresh off their biggest win of the season as they knocked off undefeated and Top 25 foe Fresno State last week in come from behind fashion.

Now, the Broncos shift their focus to a lowly New Mexico team that has struggled mighily this season. New Mexico has dropped 5 in a row and this defense simply cannot stop anyone. They've given up over 35 points per game and are extremely vulnerable to the big play. 

Some trends to note. Broncos are 5-0-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Broncos are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

The Broncos are 8-1 all time against New Mexico and 4-0 here in this stadium. 

Lay the points. Back Boise State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Kent State +13

The Golden Flashes saw the line move in their favor here and this one is a trap spot for Toledo.

The Rockets took a huge step back in the MAC race as they saw their chances likely fade after a bad loss in Northern Illinois. 

This now serves as a huge let down spot facing one of the worst teams in the conference who has shown some bright spots. 

Kent State played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the FBS and managed to stick with some Power 5 teams. They like to move extremely quick with their offense and can cause some issues for a defense. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Golden Flashes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss.

Toledo has to be feeling down on themselves after last week. Expect Kent State to catch them here.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -17.5

The Fighting Irish are on a roll right now and sit at #3 in the nation. They control their own fate here for the BCS Playoff and take on a very lowly Florida State team here on Saturday.

Florida State has been horrific this year after entering the season with such high hopes. The Seminoles enter play just 4-5 on the season and 1-3 on the road. This defense has continued to get torched by opposing teams, as they allow well over 30 points per game. 

As for Notre Dame, they got a test they may have just needed as they took down Northwestern after blowing a 17 point lead late. Despite that, Notre Dame managed to cover the number as they are outscoring the opposition on average 33.7-19.3. 

This offense has the big strike ability and has found quite the rhythm as of late. Look for them to put their foot on the gas early here and really try to force Florida State on their heels. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Fighting Irish are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Lay the number. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Florida Atlantic -20

The Florida Atlantic Owls had been disappointing so far this year. Lane Kiffin's team did some special things last year, but they went into last weekend's game against FIU as an underdog. They ended up beating their rivals from FIU by a score of 49-14.

I think that is just the start of a turn around by Kiffin's team. Why? They  finally found a quarterback. It was D'Andre Johnson, who was previously at Florida State a couple years ago, who played excellent last week and he'll be playing again moving forward. The Owls already have a great running game. They just needed a quarterback to do well enough to keep teams honest. Now, they have that missing piece.

Western Kentucky has fallen apart under Mike Sanford Jr. A couple years ago this was an excellent team, but now this Western Kentucky team looks like a team that wants to be done with the season. They have a lot of injury issues, and I see them getting thumped by a motivated Florida Atlantic team.

Back Florida Atlantic.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB Rare 10* Top Play

North Carolina +10

The Tar Heels and Blue Devils rivalry takes shape on the football field Saturday. 

Here, grabbing the points has value.

With any rivalry game, you're going to see both teams get up for it. Here, with the Tar Heels entering just 1-7, this is essentially their postseason now. Beating arch-rival Duke would go a long way for them in a season that has been filled with disappointment. 

North Carolina has remained competitive as well. They gave Georgia Tech a run for their money last week, as they do have an offense that can move the ball. They can hit you with the run and pass, as they like to run a balanced attack. 

Expect them to open the playbook, pulling out all the stops here.

Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Grab the points.

Back North Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

SMU -19.5

The Mustangs come in with a ton of momentum and have value laying this kind of number here.

SMU grabbed their biggest win of the season as they just dismantled the Houston Cougars on Saturday night. The Mustangs dominated in every facet of the game as they averaged over 6 yards per play. 

They take on a Uconn team that hasn't come close to stopping anyone either. Giving up nearly 9 yards per play themselves, this is going to be a completely lopsided matchup. 

Look for SMU to pull out the pass game early here and take plenty of shots downfield. The Mustangs average 257.9 yards per game through the air, which ranks 44th in the nation. This Huskies secondary is extremely vulnerable over the top. 

Some trends to note. Mustangs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Mustangs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.

Lay the points.

Back SMU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin +9

The Wisconsin Badgers are getting 9 points here in Happy Valley on Saturday. Why is Penn State laying this kind of number? The Nittany Lions have been serial disappointers this year. This team was supposed to contend for the Big Ten East, but they have already lost three games in the conference. 

They can't get to any of the goals they set for themselves before the season. James Franklin has been exposed a poor in-game coach. Trace McSorley is at much less than 100 percent as well, and he is clearly the team's leader.

Wisconsin still has a great running game. Taylor should be able to run it against a Penn State defense that is much weaker against the run than the pass. 

Alex Hornibrook is banged up, but he's been bad this year anyways. I think Wisconsin goes into this game knowing they are going to have to run the football a lot.

The Badgers have too much talent to be getting this kind of number against a team with questionable motivation.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Fresno State -2.5 

Fresno State is having one of their best seasons in quite some time and this seems like the perfect year to end their blue turf woes. 

Fresno State comes in under the radar a bit, sitting at 8-1 on the season.

This team has averaged 40.3 points per game while allowing only 12.3. They just come at you with so many weapons. Offensively they can strike for the big play at any moment on the ground or through the air. Defensively they will put tons of pressure on opposing QBs and find themselves constantly in the backfield. 

To go along with that, they are 8-1 ATS through their 9 games. This is also a revenge spot given their struggles with Boise State. Look for a fired up Bulldogs team to come out here on Friday.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. Bulldogs are 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win.

Lay the small number. Back Fresno State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY

Alabama -14.5

The Crimson Tide laying the points here on Saturday is a nice move. 

Alabama has had little issues this season with any team really and tis one should be no different. 

Alabama put up a 58 spot against Tennessee last time out and this LSU offense likely won't be able to keep up here. In 2 of the last 3 weeks, the Tigers have put up just 19 points. That is a recipe for disaster when playing a team like Alabama. 

Along with that, the situational edge goes to Alabama. The Crimson Tide have gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in LSU. 

This is the number 2 ranked offense in total yards and number 1 ranked in terms of scoring. When you play the style that LSU does, there is just too much of a mismatch in this one. 

Some trends to note. Tigers are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game. Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

This one favors the visitors. 

Back Alabama.

Good luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Florida International -2

Florida Atlantic has had a disappointing season. Chris Robison is banged up and if he plays he won't be 100 percent. They don't have a good second option. The Owls still have a good ground game, but defenses are keying in on the ground game now that they don't have the passing attack to keep them honest.

Florida International's passing attack has been really good with James Morgan under center. Morgan transferred in from Bowling Green, and he has won the starting job and done great. Morgan is averaging 8.80 yards per attempt in the passing game. He has thrown 19 touchdowns and only four interceptions. The weakness of the Florida Atlantic defense is their secondary, and that plays into the hands of FIU here.

These two teams are rivals and this is a rare chance for FIU to win with Florida Atlantic recruiting well and looking like future power in the conference (they were a year ago). Look for FIU to take advantage of their chance.

Back Florida International.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Duke +9.5

The Duke Blue Devils have been great as an underdog under Coach David Cutcliffe. Duke is coming off a rare very poor performance on the defensive end last week. This is a Duke team that ranks 53rd in the nation in yards per play allowed, and before last weekend they were in the top 40.

I expect this veteran defense led by tremendous linebackers to bounce back here. Miami has a lot of talent, but on offense this Hurricanes team has been a mess. The Hurricanes have very little passing game, and their offensive line has been inconsistent.

Mark Richt's team has already fallen short of their goals for the season. Are they going to stay motivated the rest of the way? It's an unknown right now.

Duke will be pumped up and ready to go after a bad showing last week, and the Blue Devils in the underdog role have been money under Cutcliffe.

I'll grab the points

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin -28.5 

The Badgers season hasn't gone quite like they imagined. After falling just short in the Big 10 Championship last season, the Badgers find themselves struggling to string together any sort of momentum.

They come in off a loss at Northwestern, which should certainly wake this team up heading into this home contest with Rutgers.

You're going to get a look at a team looking to take out their frustrations here. Wisconsin is a team that is going to wear you down. With that in mind, this Rutgers defense is not going to be able to slow them down. 

Rutgers gives up 223.4 rush yards per game, which is one of the works marks in the entire nation. This is simply not a good matchup anyway which way you look at it for Rutgers.

Some trends to note. Badgers are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games in November. Badgers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Expect a very lopsided one here.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Pittsburgh +7.5

The Panthers are catching a nice number here on Friday night. This one makes a lot of sense. Pittsburgh has covered in 3 of the last 4 in this series. They have given Virginia a lot of fits in the past as they tend to open the playbook a lot more when these two teams meet. 

Pittsburgh also has an offense that can keep up with a lot of teams in the ACC. The Panthers are averaging over 4 touchdowns per game this year as they offer a nice balanced attack. 

This is also a time to fade the Cavaliers. Over their last 7 games in November, Virginia has gone just 2-5 ATS. 

Some trends to note. Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

There is a significant edge for the Panthers. Grab the points here as this one is close throughout.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Toledo -18.5

Weekday MACtion continues and the Rockets at home have value on Wednesday night.

While this is a big number, the Rockets are a team that can score. Toledo not only ranks as one of the top offenses in the MAC, but in the entire nation when it comes to putting up points. They rank 12th overall, averaging 40.8 points per contest this season. 

They come in with some momentum here as well. The Rockets put up 51 points on Western Michigan and have shown they can strike quickly. 

This simply isn't a good matchup for Ball State after looking at all that. The Cardinals put up only 23.8 points per game as this offense is very one dimensional. Expect them to be taken out of their comfort zone early in this one, which should result in some mistakes for Ball State.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. Cardinals are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Buffalo -7

MACtion is back in full swing during the week and the Bulls laying the points here have value.

Despite Miami's 3-5 record, the Redhawks come into this one with a 3-1 MAC record, making this one a huge West Division affair. The Bulls enter this one a perfect 4-0 and have rattled off 7 wins already this season.

They've been beating teams with their defense here in 2018. The Bulls rank 26th in the nation in total yards against and sit 11th against the pass. They constantly are putting pressure on in the backfield and forcing opposing teams into short drives or turnovers. 

That should be the case here as this Redhawks offense is not very powerful. They rank 100th overall in total yards and are one of the worst in the conference. Expect Buffalo to really put the pressure on, knowing that this Miami team isn't going to take many shots down field.

Some trends to note. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games, are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Grab the home side.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -23.5 

The Fighting Irish laying the points here on Saturday night has value in Navy.

Notre Dame and Navy have played to some entertaining games in the past, this one, however, is going to get out of hand. 

Notre Dame ranks #3 in the nation and this team is clicking on all cylinders. The Fighting Irish struggled against Pittsburgh but used the bye week to catch their breath and prep for this stretch run.

Navy's defense is going to be the difference here. The Midshipmen allowed 49 to Houston last week and rank 107th in the nation in points against per game. 

Some trends to note. Midshipmen are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. INDEP. Midshipmen are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Lay the points here as this one is just too lopsided. 

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Tulane PK

The Tulane Green Wave blasted the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 62-28 last year. Is it a revenge spot here for Tulsa? Sure. However, Tulsa needs to prove to me that they can stop this unique spread option offense that Tulane runs. The Green Wave rumbled for a whopping 488 yards on the ground last year. They averaged 7.0 yards per carry.

Tulsa's passing game is non-existent. Tulane knows what is coming from Tulsa, and Tulane's defensive strength is in the run game. Look for the Tulane defensive front to hold its own and do a solid job against the run here.

Tulane is extremely well-coached by Willie Fritz, and they have a lot of veteran players at the key skill position spots.

Tulsa is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. That fits this spot, and I'll take the Tulane ground game to win this contest.

Back Tulane.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Arkansas State -3

Arkansas State has been one of the top teams in the Sun Belt for several years in a row. Arkansas State is arguably the single most talented team in the league this season. The Red Wolves were blown out at home by Appalachian State a couple weeks ago, and that has made the market too low on this team. One game doesn't define this team, and this roster is loaded with talent.

Justice Hansen and this group of wide receivers make up what is the best passing attack in the Sun Belt. Louisiana's defense has struggled with giving up big gainers in the passing game. They look to be in some serious trouble here.

The Ragin' Cajuns offense has been good this year, but I give Arkansas State a good chance of winning the battle in the trenches with their defensive front and making it harder for Louisiana to consistently move the ball with the big gainers they are accustomed to getting.

Back Arkansas State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Penn State -6.5 

The Nittany Lions laying under the key number of 7 here has nice value on Saturday. 

Penn State put an end to their 2 game losing skid with a win in Indiana last Saturday and they've found their groove back after the short stint. 

This is a great matchup for Penn State, as Iowa simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up.

The Hawkeyes continued to struggle in the red zone last week against Maryland and leaving points off the board in this one will come back to haunt them big time. Iowa ranks just 76th in total offense as they lack any sort of explosiveness. When you're taking on the 9th ranking scoring offense in the NCAA, that certainly doesn't mix well either.

Some trends to note. Nittany Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nittany Lions are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Louisiana Tech +3.5

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have a great underdog coach in Skip Holtz. This is a guy who is a master motivator and you better believe he'll use two things to his advantage here. First, LA Tech is an underdog and he always can use that to motivate his players. Second, Florida Atlantic ran up the score on them last time around, and they'll want to pay back this Owls team for that contest.

Florida Atlantic doesn't have the same kind of chemistry they had a year ago. This is a team that is making all sorts of mistakes and they don't have the great offensive lines to open up huge holes in the ground game anymore. They also don't have a quarterback who takes care of the ball.

The Bulldogs have played everyone tough this year. They even won the stats in their road game against LSU earlier this year.

Grab the points here, and I think LA Tech pulls the outright win.

Back the Bulldogs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -13.5

Laying under 2 touchdowns here has value on Thursday night. 

West Virginia is going to come out in this one fired up and looking to take out some frustrations after their recent debacle in Iowa State. The loss came from nowhere, as the Cyclones dominated the Mountaineers in every facet. 

This is a nice matchup for the Mountaineers. Baylor has struggled mightily on the road, allowing 36.3 points per game. This secondary has burned time and time again, which is a recipe for disaster against a team like West Virginia. 

The Mountaineers 36.8 points per game is one of the tops in the Big 12 as Senior quarterback Will Grier has accounted for 22 touchdowns. Aside from the Iowa State game, he has picked apart secondaries and will have a chip on his shoulder to bounce back here.

Some trends to note.  Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

Lay the points here. Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCF -21

UCF hasn't been stopped this season and now have themselves in the Top 10 as they enter play this week. 

The #9 team in the nation has a clear cut advantage heading into East Carolina here. 

This Knights offense has proven to be one of the best in the nation. UCF has averaged 45.7 points per game and junior quarterback McKenzie Milton has dominated the opposition both with his arm and legs. 

Milton has accounted for 22 scores this season with 6 being on the ground. He takes on a defense that has given up 32.2 points per game as the Pirates have been picked apart on many occasions through their first 6 games.

Some trends to note. Knights are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on grass. Knights are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

Lay this number.

Back UCF. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play 

Alabama -28.5

The Crimson Tide laying the big number is a nice move here.

While Tennessee comes in off a huge win, this is quite the step here for them. This is simply a matchup they won't be able to keep up in.

Alabama comes into this one averaging a ridiculous 53.6 points per game. Led by sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, this Alabama offense can hit you in so many ways. He has tossed for 1760 yards this season and 21 touchdowns all while avoiding an interception. 

Tennessee has been about as average as can be this season and that simply won't get the job done here against this kind of competition.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 meetings. Crimson Tide are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Tennessee.

Lay the points.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Virginia +7

The Duke Blue Devils have been tremendous as an underdog under David Cutcliffe. They aren't nearly as good in the role of the favorite. They are laying a touchdown here in a game with a total of 44.5. It's important to remember that a touchdown in a low total environment is a much bigger relative spread than it is with a high total.

Bronco Mendenhall's Virginia Cavs run the football very effectively with Perkins at quarterback in the read option attack. They slow the game down and they'll try to control the time of possession here.

Duke's offense has been really inconsistent this year. It has taken a lot of big defensive plays or special teams plays for them to score in recent weeks. Those are hard to duplicate week after week.

Virginia comes into this one with a bunch of momentum after upsetting Miami last weekend.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Temple -3.5 

The Cincinnati Bearcats are a good team, but they aren't nearly as good as this number would suggest. They are also at #20 in the AP Top 25 now, and they are very overrated at that spot. Who has Cincinnati beaten this year? The Bearcats are clearly much improved, but this is too much.

Cincinnati now must faced the fifth ranked overall defense in the country when it comes to yards per play allowed. Temple's defensive line is the best one Cincinnati has had to face this year, and it isn't very close. The Bearcats aren't likely to be able to run the ball much at all here.

Since Russo has taken over at quarterback this Temple offense has been much better. The Cincinnati run defense is good, but their secondary is a weakness. They haven't played teams that can take advantage of it this year, but that is about to change.

Back Temple.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Arizona State +3

The Sun Devils plus the points here is a nice move on Thursday night.

Situationally this one makes a lot of sense. Arizona State have been great as home underdogs dating back to the last couple seasons. 

The Sun Devils come into this one a solid 14-5 ATS in such cases. 

Along with that, ASU has been a moneymaker off a loss when playing at home in their next contest going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 occasions,

This ASU offense is where the value will come in as well. They have been very undervalued in this season, putting up 29.8 points per game. They have seen that number increase to 39 points per game when playing at home too.

Some trends to note. Cardinal are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Cardinal are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

The home team is 10-4-1 ATS in this series over the last 15. Grab the points.

Back Arizona State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

. 

Georgia -7.5

The Bulldogs laying the points here have value on Saturday. 

Georiga has just ran through the competition thus far here in 2018, going 6-0 and making things look easy a majority of the time.

Georgia has outscored the opposition 42-13 this season as they have been overpowering on both sides of the ball.

The Bulldogs have leaned on Quarterback Jake Fromm, who ranks 5th in the nation with nearly a 73% pass completion rate this season. Georgia has been able to strike quickly with the big play and that is one thing LSU doesn't do. Expect big plays from Georgia, which will put LSU out of their comfort zone in this one.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games on grass.

Lay the points.

Back Georgia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington -3

The Huskies laying the field goal is a nice move Saturday afternoon.

Washington comes into this one winners of 5 straight after dropping their season opener to Auburn. They have done just about everything right over the past 5 weeks, as this defense is one of the tops in the nation. 

Washington has allowed just 13.7 points against, as they've been able to cause a lot of havoc in opposing backfields. 

Here, they should be able to do just that against an Oregon team that does not protect well up front. In the Ducks lone loss to Stanford, they struggled in the 2nd half at containing pressure. Look for Washington to bring a lot of that right from the beginning here.

Some trends to note. Ducks are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Ducks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Lay the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Southern Miss +9.5

Southern Miss has played well so far this year. Jack Abraham has been much better than many expected in his role at quarterback. The Golden Eagles have thrown the ball around this year, and it has worked with a consistent passer like Abraham.

The most impressive aspect of this Southern Miss team is their defense. The Golden Eagles are 22nd in the nation in yards per play allowed. They have been great at bending without breaking too. Their strength is playing great defense in the red zone.

North Texas' Mason Fine is a bit dinged up now, and the Mean Green narrowly beat lowly UTEP last weekend.  North Texas no longer has a strong running game like they had last year. It has made this team too one-dimensional on offense. Southern Miss should be able to get pressure on Fine this week, and I think that could give him some trouble.

Too many points for a quality team like Southern Miss.

Back Southern Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Ohio State -29.5

The Buckeyes had their hands full with the Hoosiers last week and will come into this one with a very lopsided matchup. 

The Golden Gophers have been very underwhelming this year. Averaging only 27 points per game, this team is very one dimensional when it comes to their offensive strategy. They like to run the ball and try to cut down the clock. However, that is not something that you can do against this Ohio State team.

The Buckeyes 49 points per game has resulted from Dwayne Haskins Jr. racking up 25 touchdowns on the season. This offense is far too explosive and will be too tough for the Golden Gophers to slow down here.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf.

Lay the points.

Back Ohio State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

South Florida -7

The Bulls laying the points here have value on Friday night.

South Florida is simply too fast and too overpowering for Tulsa to keep up with here.

The Bulls are averaging 37.2 points per game as this offense can hit you in so many different ways. The Bulls have averaged 274 yards per game through the air, while rushing for 213.4. The balanced attack has kept teams off balanced and has allowed them to strike for the big play numerous times throughout games. 

Tulsa meanwhile, has been outscored on averaged 31-24 this season. This team simply isn't built to hang with the Bulls on either side of the ball.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Friday games. Bulls are 8-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

Lay the points.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Texas Tech +7.5

The Red Raiders catch a nice number here on Thursday night when they head into TCU.

Texas Tech has been dominant off a bye, which is the first big trend here. The Red Raiders have covered 4 straight games coming off a bye week. 

To go along with that, they welcome back QB Alan Bowman. He has been a huge piece to the success this team has found here in 2018. Bowman has thrown for 1680 yards so far this season while boasting an 11-3 touchdown to interception ratio. 

Tech's 48 points per game rank as one of the tops in the nation as well, as they should be able to give TCU's defense plenty of fits.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games. Red Raiders are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

Grab the points.

Back Texas Tech ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -4.5

The Fighting Irish continue to put together solid performances and they hold value here on Saturday in VT.

Playing at night in Virginia Tech is never an easy task, but this Fighting Irish team is just playing so well right now. 

Notre Dame comes in off an impressive home win over Stanford, a game in which they dominated in all facets in the 2nd half. Offensively, they were able to move the ball with ease and keep the chains moving on third down. Defensively, they were getting plenty of pressure on the backfield and forcing the Cardinal into some forced plays. 

The Hokies meanwhile haven't looked necessarily great. A huge upset loss to Old Dominion has highlighted their season as this defense ranks 78th in the nation in total yards against.

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Fighting Irish are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.

Lay the points here.

Back Notre Dame ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

UAB +9.5

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs played LSU close a couple weeks ago. They then went on the road and beat North Texas, who was a favorite on their side of the conference. They come home now to play a UAB team that is flying under the radar once again.

UAB was one of the most amazing stories in the country last year. The Blazers got to a bowl game in their first season back in FBS. Bill Clark has done an amazing job with this program. They are able to play teams with superior talent very tightly because of their strong and unique ground game.

Louisiana Tech is in a bit of a letdown spot here after two huge games. They are solid favorites and they have to be thinking they should win this one. It's a tricky spot, and I'll gladly grab the points here.

Back UAB.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

South Florida -13.5

The South Florida Bulls lay under 2 touchdowns here and have nice value at the given number.

UMass has put out one of the worst defensive teams in the entire nation this season. The Minutemen rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category thus far. 

They come into Saturday allowing 42.7 points per game, which is by far one of the worst numbers of any team. They've been vulnerable to the big play time and time again, as they were just torched by Ohio for 58 points. 

That doesn't bode well for them as USF averages 32 points per game and ranks 39th in total offense. The high tempo and ability to strike with both the run and pass makes this team a handful for opposing defenses. Look for the Bulls to get out quickly here and put this team on their heels early on.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Bulls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.

Lay the points. 

Back USF ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Florida +3

The LSU Tigers are 5-0. LSU was picked to be right around #25 or so in the country in the preseason. They are up to 5th in the polls. The Tigers are undoubtedly a good team, but they aren't as good as their record would indicate. They also aren't as good as their ranking at this point.

Florida was disappointing early in the year, and their home loss to Kentucky made many bettors throw them out to the trash. It turns out Kentucky was a really good team, and Florida has played much better the last couple weeks. The Gators showed me something last week with their defensive performance against Nick Fitzgerald and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Ed Orgeron is a middle of the road coach. He has never had success as a road favorite in his coaching career. LSU comes into this one feeling awfully good about themselves. This should be the spot where Florida knocks them down a notch or two.

I think Florida wins outright.  Florida is the value side here.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB 10* TOP Play

Missouri -1

The South Carolina Gamecocks are expected to be without Jake Bentley at quarterback for this one. Bentley has done a better job than most realize for South Carolina, and I think there is a clear downgrade here for this S Carolina offense.

Missouri's offense has been able to move the ball and score quite a few points against everyone they have played this year. The Tigers have a future NFL quarterback in Drew Lock at the helm, and he has a better offensive line in front of him this year. Missouri should score quite a few on a S Carolina defense that isn't as good as it usually is.

Can South Carolina keep up? I doubt it. The Gamecocks offense isn't all that explosive with their starting quarterback, and I think things will get worse without him. It's hard to see them trading punches with Lock and the Missouri offense.

Back Missouri.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -5.5

The Fighting Irish line has jumped, but they still have value here on Saturday night.

Notre Dame isn't getting as much attention as maybe they should be, but that's certainly okay with them. They come in against Stanford for the 22nd straight time and this is a revenge spot. Stanford has won 3 straight in this series and don't think ND has forgot that. 

The Fighting Irish may have their most complete team this season as they have two QBs who have both seen playing time. It was Ian Book who accounted for 5 touchdowns last week as this offense is in very nice form.

While Stanford completed an epic comeback last week, the Cardinal still have a lot of work to do. This team hasn't looked sharp on the defensive end and we saw last week that they are very vulnerable in the secondary. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

With the revenge factor and the Fighting Irish playing so well, this is a nice spot to lay the number.

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

San Jose State +10

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have been a good story so far this year, but they have played a very weak schedule. Hawaii has played the 123rd toughest schedule in the country out of 130 teams. Hawaii has been getting some big plays against some really bad defenses. Their offense will continue to be good, but they are overvalued right now.

Hawaii has a long history of performing poorly away from home. The Warriors are a lowly 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 road games against a home team with a losing record. Hawaii is 14-36 ATS in their last 50 conference games overall.

San Jose State isn't quite the bottom-feeder they have been in recent years. Their defense is enough improved that they were able to keep things close against Oregon. San Jose State should be able to run the football enough to keep this game very close.

Back San Jose State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Baylor +24

The Oklahoma Sooners are a very good team, but they are in a tough spot here. They play Texas, their rivals, in their next game. Why would they want to run up the score against a Baylor team that is rebuilding? They should want to be ready for their next contest.

I also like Matt Rhule as a coach, and I believe he has this Baylor team on the right path. In his last 27 games in the role of the underdog, Rhule's teams are 20-7 ATS. That's a big plus for this one, especially since they are catching so many points.

The Baylor defense is improved some this season, and Oklahoma's defense is down a bit. I also believe the Sooners will suffer some from losing star running back Rodney Anderson.

This is a lot of points, and especially considering the situation- I have to grab the big dog here.

Back Baylor.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCF -13

Central Florida laying the points here is a nice move for us on Saturday.

This Pittsburgh defense is too much of a liability. The Panthers allowed 38 points to UNC last week and will face an offense that has a very similar style.

The Golden Knights offense is rolling as well. Averaging 50 points per game through their perfect 3-0 start, UCF saw a solid performance from Junior quarterback McKenzie Milton last time out. Milton tossed for 3 touchdowns and 306 yards through the air as the Golden Knights put up 56 on FAU. 

Defensively, UCF is also in a nice spot. They have forced 9 turnovers and have given this offense some short fields to work with. If they can get that going early, UCF should be able to take off here.

Some trends to note. Knights are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in September. Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Lay the points.

Back UCF.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Kent State +7.5

The Kent State Golden Flashes are more than a touchdown underdog here, and that's too much against a Ball State team that has been among the worst in the country in the last couple seasons. This is more about fading Ball State as a large favorite than anything else.

Kent State has tested themselves with road trips to Penn State and Ole Miss. They were in the game against Ole Miss for quite a while, and I believe this new Kent State coaching staff is making some gains for this program. The faster paced offense will work better in the MAC.

Ball State couldn't make any key plays down the stretch last week against Western Kentucky, and the Hilltoppers are a weak team. Ball State's defense allows a bunch of big plays. Kent's offense is more than capable of big plays with their style of play now.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -3.5

The Mountaineers lay a nice number here on Saturday in Texas Tech.

West Virginia's Will Grier has been on a different level thus far through the first 3 games of the season. The star QB ranks 2nd in pass efficiency, 4th in total offense, and 3rd in pass yards per game.

He's certainly a top name for the Heisman in the early going and has this West Virginia team averaging 42.3 points per game thus far.

What makes this team so special though is their defense. Allowing only 12 points per game through the first 3, the Mountaineers have been just incredibly dominant. They are getting off the field on third downs and really making things hectic for opposing QBs. Look for them to put a ton of pressure on in the backfield here, as they know they can't let this Tech offense get into any sort of rhythm.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Red Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Colorado -9.5

The Bruins are a complete mess. Laying the points here with Colorado is a nice play on Friday night.

The Buffs come in a perfect 3-0 and have two impressive wins over Colorado State and Nebraska thus far.

It's been the offense that has carried the load for them, as they have put up 41 points per game thanks to Steven Montez and Laviska Shenault. The duo has connected 26 times for 3 scores and 455 yards. Look for them to exploit this UCLA secondary, that just hasn't been able to stop anyone this season.

Some trends to note. Bruins are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 conference games. Bruins are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games.

UCLA has lost to both Cincinnati and Fresno with Oklahoma mixed in there. This team just doesn't have any spark and simply has horrible QB issues going on.

Lay the points.

Back Colorado.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina +18

The Tar Heels catch a lot of points here on Thursday and have value at this number. 

North Carolina has been itching to get into some rhythm after the hurricane has already forced them to cancel one of their contests. 

UNC comes in off an impressive win over Pittsburgh, a game in which the offense exploded for 38 points. 

To add to this value here, the Tar Heels will get 7 of their players back, who were serving 3 game suspensions. One of those is sophomore Chazz Surratt, who may not get the nod yet, but could see some action. If anything, he'll put a little pressure on junior Nathan Elliott to continue his performance level. 

Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Tar Heels are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Grab the points.

Back UNC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Oregon +2.5

The Oregon Ducks aren't getting any love at home against Stanford on Saturday night. Oregon played a poor game last week against San Jose State. They beat the lowly Spartans by only 13 points. Why did they have that small of a margin? Oregon was clearly looking ahead to this big game. They could coast past San Jose State. Now, Oregon should be ready to roll for this game.

Jim Leavitt is one of the best defensive coordinators in the country, and I expect him to have a good scheme ready to slow down the Stanford offense. Costello has been pretty good at QB for the Cardinal, but he still hasn't been involved in a tight game against a good opponent late on the road. That's likely to change on Saturday. Oregon has a great home field advantage and this place will be packed.

Herbert is a great quarterback for this Oregon system. I'm not very high on Stanford's defense. They have faced some one-dimensional offenses this year, but that changes when they face Oregon on Saturday night.

Oregon isn't getting much respect, but they should win this one.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State -14

The Cowboys are worthy of a move here on Saturday night when they host Texas Tech. 

The Red Raiders defense is the reason for the value here.

Texas Tech has been known to have just a horrific defense over the recent years. That has held true once again here in 2018 as they have given up an average of 32 points per game. Those numbers could easily be a lot worse as they have continued to get burned time and time again by the quick offense.

That plays well into the Cowboys offense, who works with pace and loves to throw the ball down field. 

The Cowboys have averaged 52 points per game thus far as Taylor Cornelius has picked up right where Mason Rudolph left off. The Cowboys QB has 971 yards with 3 touchdowns and has really been able to open the playbook thanks to his run game getting established early. 

Oklahoma State has all the value in this one.

Back Oklahoma State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Virginia Tech -27

The Hokies lay a big number here but have a lot of value to work with on Saturday.

The Hokies laid this kind of number last season against Old Dominion and rolled to a 38-0 win over the Monarchs. 

It's pretty much the same scenario here as home field advantage in ODU really doesn't play much of a factor. In fact, we get a much better and more complete put together team in the Hokies this year. 

They have been absolutely dominant on the defensive end, while the offense has been able to strike with the big play. 

ODU has dropped all 3 games this season and owns a 1-7-1 ATS run at home over their last 9 games.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September. Hokies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games.

Lay the number here.

Back Virginia Tech ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS Play

Ball State -3

The Ball State Cardinals come home for a game against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Western Kentucky is coming off a close loss to Louisville, and I think that has made them overvalued at this point. Western Kentucky is still a team with no running game on offense, and they have a highly suspect defense as well.

Ball State's offense has had serious injury problems in recent years, and they are finally healthy on offense once again. This is a team that should have success on offense against weaker competition. Ball State has played two straight games against tough competition. This is a big step down, and I think that will show up nicely on Saturday.

Western Kentucky is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games. The Hilltoppers are also 1-8 ATS in their last 9 September games. They can't be trusted.

Back Ball State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Ole Miss -28.5

Ole Miss will be in a rebound spot here as they welcome in MAC opponent Kent State on Saturday. 

Mississippi scored on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday's marquee matchup against Alabama. However, the bottom fell out immediately as the Crimson Tide threw up 62 unanswered to route the Rebels. 

For starters, don't expect a hangover here. Ole Miss endured their loss early in the season and will have plenty of chances to get back into the SEC race. 

This is a game where there will be plenty of frustrations will come out. While Kent State has shown they can compete with the likes of Illinois and Penn State for a half, this is a team that is simply too fast for them. Ole Miss has averaged 480 yards per game and can hit teams with the pass or rush. Kent State ranks 109th in the nation in total defense and the Rebels should have no issue marching up and down the field on them. 

Some trends to note. Rebels are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. Rebels are 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 non-conference games.

Lay the points.

Back Mississippi State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Illinois +28

The Fighting Illini are worth a move here on Friday night.

This is more of a situational play than anything. Penn State comes into this one knowing they should have no worries here. You have to think their main focus is on next week's affair with the Buckeyes in Happy Valley. 

Look for them to come out a bit flat here as they certainly aren't too worried about this Illinois team.

To go along with that, this Illinois team is a big advocate of running the clock. If they can get their offense moving early, this could be a case where they can frustrate Penn State. Illinois has averaged 244 rushing yards per game through the first 3 contests as well. They've been able to pick up big chunks of yardage and continue to move the chains on 3rd down.

Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Fighting Illini are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Grab the big number here.

Back Illinois ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

Temple -7

The Owls laying a touchdown on Thursday night has value here in this spot.

Temple is just a better all-around team. They come in winners of their first game of the season after upsetting Maryland last week. Temple did everything right from controlling the tempo of the game to getting off the field on third down. 

They'll bring that mentality in here on Thursday as they look to approach this Tulsa defense with a balanced attack. QB Anthony Russo is likely to get the nod here after he threw for 228 yards against the Maryland secondary. 

RB Ryquell Armstead opened the pass game as his rushing attack of 118 yards and he's continued to be the biggest part of this offense thus far. Tulsa's defense has shown they have a lot of gaps in it, as they've allowed over 28 points against per game. Look for Temple to utilize the ground early and really open up this Tulsa secondary.

Temple has gone 21-6 in their last 27 conference games. Lay the points here.

Back Temple.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCLA PK 

It's strange to see a Chip Kelly led team be 0-2 in anything really. 

However, this is a nice spot for the Bruins to grab their first win of the season. 

UCLA comes in off a 49-21 loss to the Sooners and they didn't look as bad as most thought. They can take away a lot from the game. 

The Bruins at least found some stability with their pass game, something they lacked in their opener against the Bearcats. Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for 254 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Sooners and he'll have some momentum to build off of here. 

Fresno State is also not a team that is going to overpower anyone. They are a very slow, one-dimensional team, which plays right into the favor of the Bruins. 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Pac-12. Bruins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. MWC.

Look for the Bruins to come out and really be fired up for this one, especially with home field advantage. 

Back UCLA. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Buffalo -3

I see this as a great situational spot for the Bulls. Eastern Michigan is coming off an upset win over Purdue in West Lafayette last week. That has to have made Eastern Michigan feel pretty good about themselves. The Eagles now go to take on a Buffalo team that has the best quarterback in the MAC in Tyree Jackson.

Jackson and the Bulls passing attack are likely to be too much for the Eagles secondary. Eastern Michigan has only a mediocre pass rush, and their corners aren't very good. Jackson can sling it around and he has a lot of weapons on the outside.

Eastern Michigan isn't very explosive on offense. I don't think they have the balance on offense to keep up with Buffalo.

This game is going to be packed, and Buffalo is hyping this game in a big way for their home crowd. Expect a great atmosphere that helps the home team a lot. Buffalo is playing with something to prove, while I see Eastern Michigan as being in a terrible spot after a win over a Big Ten team.

A couple interesting trends. Buffalo is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.  Eastern Michigan is 9-22 ATS in their last 31 following a win.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* Rare CFB ATS Top Play

Houston -1

Two high flying offenses meet on Saturday and Houston has the value here. 

Houston is certainly the more complete team of the two. 

The Cougars offense has been on a quite the tear here in the early going. Houston put up 45 on Rice and absolutely went on a first half rampage Saturday against Arizona. The Coogs put up 45 in total once again as they showed the air attack is just so tough to slow down. 

Houston is averaging 287 yards through the air as D'Eriq King has shown the ability to give defense issues both through the air and with his scrambling abilities. While Texas Tech had little issues with Lamar last week, they struggled mightily with Ole Miss Week 1. The Rebels are very similar to the Cougars style of play, which should result in a lot of struggles for this Tech defense.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Red Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Houston is the better team here.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma -17

The Sooners and Cyclones battle on Saturday afternoon and laying the points with the Sooners is worth a nice move here.

Oklahoma should be 2-0 ATS this season, but a 4th and 6 conversion with their 2nd stringers in resulted in a backdoor UCLA cover. However, Oklahoma still has looked solid through the first two contests and the Cyclones likely can't keep up with this firepower.

We saw the Sooners put up 63 points in their first game and followed that up with a 49 point performance against the Bruins. Oklahoma's Kyler Murray has showcased he can beat teams with his arm and legs, which will give Iowa State quite the tall task. 

ISU managed just 3 points in their season opener against Iowa and this is Oklahoma defense is about 3 or 4 steps above the Hawkeyes.

Some trends to note. Sooners are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings. Sooners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

Oklahoma will run this game from the outset and will be able to pull away. 

Back Oklahoma ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Memphis -27

Memphis opens as big home favorites on Friday night and rightfully so as they have value at this number. 

Memphis gives us a lot of reason for optimism heading into this one. They showcased just how good their offense is in their opening game and still managed to produce some solid numbers last week in a downpour of rain. 

Memphis has averaged 565 yards per game through the first two contests, as they can beat teams both with the pass game and on the ground. Georgia State hasn't shown any reason thus far of why they can keep up with this firepower, as they rank near the bottom of almost every offensive category. 

Some trends to note. Memphis Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Tigers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Look for Memphis to put the foot on the gas early and not let up here.

Back Memphis ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Boston College -5

This one opened at -7 but has since dropped all the way down to -5. The Eagles have value at this kind of number as they take on Wake Forest Thursday night. 

This game will be moved up to 5:30 pm EST on Thursday because of the approaching hurricane as weather could end up being a concern. 

That won't hurt the Eagles either way as this team has the ability to pound the ball on the ground. AJ Dillon put up 3 touchdowns in less than a quarter last week, as they've outscored their first two opponents 117-35. 

Wake Forest will see their toughest opponent to this point. Given the abilities of this team to wear teams down, this is a spot where we should see Boston College really utilize their physical offensive line and bring continuous blitz packages on the defensive end. 

Some trends to note. Eagles are 5-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Eagles are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

With the move down, the value sits with the visitors.

Back Boston College.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan State -5.5

The Spartans head out west here on Saturday night and have value laying this small number.

We're seeing some overreacting to Week 1 for sure. While Michigan State did struggle, those are always the types of games where teams can overlook and get trapped. 

This Michigan State team is one of the most talented in the country and they'll have their chance to showcase that here against a Sun Devils team that will have a lot of to handle on both sides of the ball. 

While ASU rolled against UTSA in Week 1, this is a much more physical and quicker team they'll see. Michigan State has the ability to just wear teams down and will certainly do that here. Expect Michigan State to run right at them early on, which should open some holes on the defensive line and really give the pass game some room to work. 

Some trends to note. Spartans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.

Michigan State will come out sending a message here. Lay this small number.

Back Michigan State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan -27.5

Michigan laying the big spread on Saturday has value for us.

Western Michigan showed they don't have much in their Week 1 affair. While they did come close in the 3rd quarter, there are a lot of misleading facts to that box score. Syracuse pulled some starters early after storming out to big halftiime lead. 

The Broncos showed almost nothing against the first stringers of the Orange and thats going to cause some issues here against a team like Michigan. Especially, thinking about how mad this Wolverines team is going to be coming in after dropping Week 1 to Notre Dame.

Michigan showed plenty of bright spots still in their loss as this offense certainly is going to have plenty of success. They are a deep team and can put together some quick attacks. They should be able to overpower and just simply outrun this Western Michigan team on both sides of the ball.

Some trends to note. Broncos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Broncos are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.

Lay the number here.

Back Michigan ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame PK -110

The Fighting Irish and Wolverines headline the Week 1 slate with National Championship implications already on the line. 

The pressure is on for Jim Harbaugh, which certainly plays into the hands of the Fighting Irish in this one. After years of struggles in the Big 10 and beating top-tier opponents, the Wolverines head coach is certainly under fire right now. A loss here will start the rumblings just 1 week into the season.

Notre Dame will have the significant edge on the defensive end here. The Fighting Irish return plenty of starters and the secondary will be a tough task to figure out for opponents. With that in mind, we see a Michigan offense that struggled last season and didn't do much to improve themselves. 

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.

The edge goes here to Notre Dame. With the Wolverines battling some injuries as well, home field in primetime is worth move.

Back Notre Dame. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Cincinnati +14.5

The Cincinnati Bearcats aren't a great team, but they are too good for UCLA to be laying more than two touchdowns against. UCLA has all kinds of question marks entering the season. Chip Kelly is a great head coach, and yes he'll make this team excellent in time, but that isn't likely to happen overnight.

UCLA has a very weak offensive line, and Cincinnati is much better on the defensive line this year. UCLA isn't likely to be able to get the running game going like Kelly wants. Wilton Speight is the starter at quarterback for UCLA, and he isn't mobile enough for Kelly to run the types of play he usually has in the past.

The hype of Chip Kelly coming to UCLA has caused this line to be inflated. UCLA will likely win this game, but it will be in a battle. UCLA doesn't have an identity yet, and Cincinnati comes in here with nothing to lose.

Grab the points.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -10

The Mountaineers and Volunteers clash in Week 1 and here the value sits with the visitors. 

West Virginia is going to be a force this season. They return two key pieces to the offensive end that offers one of the best QB-WR tandems in the NCAA. 

All-American QB Will Grier and WR David Sills come back expected to put up tremendous numbers. Prior to Grier going down, he threw for nearly 3500 yards and added 34 touchdowns to his name. Sills was his main target last season as he racked up 18 of those touchdowns with 60 receptions. 

Tennessee meanwhile still has a long way to go. The Volunteers dropped every game in SEC play and struggled with some lower tier opponents. They simply do not have enough firepower yet to compete with teams like these and that will be showcased here on Saturday.

Some trends to note. Volunteers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in September.

Lay the points here.

Back West Virginia ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Duke -14

The Duke Blue Devils are a veteran team that I expect to have a very solid season. The strength of this Duke team is their linebackers, who may well be a top 10 group of linebackers in the country. What do you need when you go up against a triple option attack? You need some good linebackers.

Army defeated Duke last year on a punt block touchdown in a game Duke should have won. Army now has a new quarterback and a much weaker offense than a year ago. Duke's defense has been good against triple option teams, and they have seen a lot of them in recent years. Army should find it tough to get much at all going on offense.

The Duke offense should get better quarterback play this year, and I think Duke's offense has enough team speed to break some big gainers against a mediocre Army defense.

Some trends to consider. Blue Devils are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Revenge for Duke in a big way.

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
