Texas -18.5

The Longhorns lay points here in the season opener and have value against a very weak Maryland team.

The Terrapins were an ultimate fade last season, as this team is extremely young and just don't have the firepower to keep up with a top team like Texas. 

The Longhorns have extremely high hopes entering the season, as new head coach Tom Herman was brought into not only lead this team to a Big 12 title, but also to bring the National Championship flavor back to the University. 

Texas returns Shane Buechele, who comes in off a season where he threw for nearly 3000 yards and had 21 touchdowns. This Longhorns offense is going to be extremely dangerous with Armanti Foreman and Devin Duvernay out wide as well.

Some trends to note. Terrapins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games on fieldturf. Terrapins are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Texas has too much firepower and will look to certainly make a statement with new head coach Tom Herman calling the shots here in Week 1.

Back Texas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Akron +31
 
The Akron Zips go to State College to take on Penn State on Saturday. Rain is expected in this one and I think they'll go up against a Penn State team that is less than 100% invested in this game.

Penn State has already proven they are a really good team. What are they going to prove by smashing a MAC team that finished below .500 last season? Nothing. On the other hand, they could prove quite a bit by getting their rivals at Pittsburgh back in week two. I think this is a clear look ahead spot for Penn State.

Bad weather usually makes you lean to the dog, especially when they are getting this many points. Akron should be able to run the ball some here with Ohio State transfer Ball in the backfield. Penn State's defensive front is good, but they aren't elite.

Penn State will win easily, but this number is too big.

Take Akron.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB 9* ATS Play

Northern Illinois +3.5

The Boston College Eagles have a terrible offense. They have no passing game, so they'll be almost solely reliant on the running attack. When you are extremely one dimensional, it is tough to move the football against a decent opponent.

Northern Illinois is out for a redemption season. The once proud program that consistently won double digit games only picked up 5 wins last year. Rod Carey's team gets a chance in the season opener to make a statement and put themselves back on the map by beating a team from a power conference.

This is a game where I see both teams running the ball a lot and the posted total is set low, so points are at a premium here. Getting 3.5 points with a feisty home underdog is plenty of value.

A couple trends of note here. Boston College is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. They are 1-3-1 in their last 5 ATS in the month of September.

Back Northern Illinois.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Ohio State -20.5

Grabbing this under 3 touchdowns is a nice number here.

Ohio State enters this season with a huge chip on their shoulder. They were blown away in the BCS Semi Final and they're back to finish their business.

Indiana has given them some fits in the past, but with a returning offense that was explosive last season, this one figures to be a huge mismatch for them against this Hoosiers defense. Ohio State has averaged nearly 40 points per game over the last 10 when it comes to facing the Hoosiers. On top of that, Indiana has averaged just a little over 300 yards per contest against the Buckeyes. This Ohio State offense is just too explosive for the Hoosiers to keep up with.

Some trends to note. Ohio State is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Indiana Ohio State is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Indiana

This number is nice and valuable.

Back Ohio State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Tulsa +18

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are a good team, but they are getting a little too much preseason love. Oklahoma State has an awesome passing game to be sure. Mason Rudolph will put up some big numbers this year. Still, the Cowboys aren't that great in the running game. Even more importantly, they are terrible defensively.

Tulsa is a team on the rise, and the Golden Hurricane have a really solid secondary. They'll give up quite a few yards to Oklahoma State, but I think they'll hold them in check enough to stay within the number.

There's an extra factor working in our advantage here. The winds are forecasted to be 10 mph or greater here, which hurts the passing game. Tulsa is more of a running team this year with a strong offensive line, so that would benefit them.

This is a fade of public perception on Oklahoma State. Too many points on the underdog.

Back Tulsa.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Rice +30.5

The Rice Owls and Stanford Cardinal clash Saturday night in Australia.  Here, we are going to have two very conservative teams, which is why this spread is just too high. 

Stanford will be in somewhat of a rebuilding mode as they lost their star RB to the NFL this past offseason. The Cardinal have a lot of promise and upside this year, but with this being an unfamiliar territory, along with attempting to get their offense clicking, they will really look to establish a run game.  

With that in mind, expect the Cardinal to chew up a lot of clock themselves. On the other side of things, Rice will be the same way. They've always been a run first offense and that will prove to be a huge factor here. RB’s Samuel Stewart and Austin Walter will lead the charge for the Owls, as they offer a solid variety of speed and strength. 

Some trends to note Owls are 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 non-conference games. Owls are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games.

This spread is just too high. The Owls should be able to keep this one closer, with the clock ticking when both teams have the ball. 

Back Rice.

 Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -6

The BCS Championship is set for Monday night and it's a rematch of last year's title game. Here, Alabama has the value. 

Alabama remains the only unbeaten team in the NCAA and it's completely deserving. This team has done everything right on both sides of the ball and come in off a dominating performance against the Huskies. After falling behind 7-0, the Crimson Tide did what they do best as they put the clamps down defensively and wore out the Huskies defense. 

This is going to be a similar case here, as the Crimson Tide are just too fast for this Clemson team. Look for Alabama to really wear down the Tigers from the outset as turning this into a slower paced game is going to play into the hands of the Crimson Tide. 

Alabama gives up just 11 points per game. This Clemson offensive line isn't overpowering by any means, which should result in the Crimson Tide getting to the backfield quickly and putting pressure on Watson.

Some trends to note.Crimson Tide are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Crimson Tide are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games.

Alabama has been dominate this season. Expect them to cap off the perfect season here on Monday. 

Back Alabama ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma Sooners -2.5

The Sooners take on the Tigers Monday night in the Sugar Bowl and it's Oklahoma who has value here. 

This Oklahoma team enters play red hot. The Sooners have rattled off 9 straight wins and they're doing it in dominating fashion. 

QB Baker Mayfield has been the backbone to this offense, as he's compiled 3669 yards this season while racking up 38 touchdown passes. 

The pace of play is something to watch for here. Oklahoma will use a lot of up tempo, as they've averaged 44.7 points per game. Look for them to get in rhythm against this Auburn defense early on and take plenty of shots down field, as they like to strike for the big play often. 

Some trends to note. Sooners are 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Sooners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Look for Oklahoma to really get out early in the one, as their offense is just too much for Auburn.

Back Oklahoma ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -13.5

The CFB Playoff is in full swing on Saturday and the #1 team in the nation laying the points has some value.

While teams fought for the 2-4 spots in this years playoff, it was Alabama who was just consistently dominating and running teams off the field en route to a perfect season. 

In this match up, they're just to physical for Washington. Alabama puts up 40.5 points per game and uses both QB Jalen Hurts and RB Damien Harris to wear the opposition down. The Crimson Tide will get a severe push from their offensive line here against the Huskies, which will open up a lot of gaps in the defense. 

Defensively, Alabama is going to cause a lot of havoc. They give up just 11.8 points per game and are just to swarming and fast for Washington to find any space.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on fieldturf. Crimson Tide are 13-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Experience and speed are the two key factors here, as Alabama rolls into the title game.

Back Alabama ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Air Force -14

The Falcons take on South Alabama on Friday in the Arizona Bowl and laying the points here has value. 

Air Force comes into this one red hot, winners of 5 straight games as their triple option game has been nearly unstoppable this season.

The Falcons are averaging 322.8 rush yards per game while putting up 34.3 points per game. They have so many weapons in this rushing attack that it's just extremely hard to stop. 

The run game has accounted for 35 touchdowns with 8 different players finding the end zone. 

South Alabama secured a spot here with a win in their final game, but playing away from home hasn't been kind to them. The Jaguars are just 1-4 SU and 1-4 ATS when playing away from Alabama.

Some trends to note. 

Expect the Falcons to really wear down this South Alabama defense on Friday, as they should be able to pull away early.

Back Air Force ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Colorado -3

The Buffaloes take on Oklahoma State Thursday night and Colorado minus the points has value. 

The Buffaloes had one of the most spectacular turnarounds in college football this season, as they turned in a 10 win season. 

Colorado leans on QB Sefo Liufau who has plenty of dual threat ability. Liufau has thrown for 2171 yards this season, while rushing for 496 yards. In total, the star QB has accounted for 18 total touchdowns. Look for him to be a huge key and advantage here, as the Buffaloes offense will have a lot of success downfield with Cowboys secondary. 

Defensively, the Buffaloes are just as good as they are offensively. Colorado is allowing just 20 points per game this season and that comes from their speed and depth on the defensive end. 

Some trends to note. Buffaloes are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Buffaloes are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Look for Colorado to have a huge advantage here. The Buffaloes are a for more superior offense and have a lot of explosiveness in them. 

Back Colorado ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

South Carolina +10.5

The South Carolina Gamecocks are double digit dogs here, and I like their chances of keeping this game close. USF definitely has a good running attack, and they are going to get their yards in this one. South Carolina has been good at bending without breaking though, and I think they do that in this one.

Willie Taggart has moved on to be the head coach at Oregon. No one can blame him on the move, but it has to be a bit of a negative for the Bulls. Additionally, South Florida's defense has been giving up points by the bunches against everyone they play. USF ranks 120th in the nation in total defense. 

South Carolina isn't good on offense, but they have gotten much better since Jake Bentley took over at quarterback. The Gamecocks should be able to score a solid amount on this USF defense that allowed 31 points per game while playing in a weak conference.

USF probably wins because of their superior weapons on offense, but this spread is too big. We'll take the underdog.

A couple trends to note here. USF is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the SEC. USF is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 December games.

Back South Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CFB ATS Play

Texas A&M -2.5

The Aggies get set to take on the Wildcats Wednesday night and the Aggies minus the points has value. 

Kansas State just simply has not performed well in bowl games. The Wildcats are just 1-7 in their last 8 as they can never seem to close a game out when it comes to playing in the postseason. 

QB Trevor Knight was a huge part of this Aggies fallout after they sat at #4 in the nation, but he continued to battle injuries late in the season. The time off has proven to be huge for him, as he is able to get back or at least close to 100% again and should be full blast here against the Wildcats. 

Look for the Aggies to use a lot of tempo here, as that is when Kansas State really gets out of rhythm.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Bowl games. Wildcats are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

Expect Texas A&M to control the pace here on Wednesday night, which will give them a giant boost.

Back Texas A&M ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Utah Utes -5.5

The Utes get set to take on Indiana on Wednesday and Utah laying the points has some value. 

The Hoosiers are certainly not an overpowering team offensively. This team averages only 25.9 points per game and has really struggled when it comes to showing consistency. They look to establish a run game, especially early in the game, but this is not one team they're going to find success against.

The Utes give up only 23.9 points per game and are one of the best teams in the nation at getting pressure in the backfield. 

Offensively, Utah is able to control the tempo with RB Joe Williams. The senior compiled 5 100 yard performances this season and racked up 1185 yards. He'll get a lot of touches here on Wednesday, as he is a playmaker that can turn nothing into something.

Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. Hoosiers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games on grass.

Look for Utah to really control this game from the outset. They'll wear Indiana out here, which gives them value laying the points.

Back Utah ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CFB ATS Play

Miami FL -2.5

The Hurricanes stay close to home as they take on West Virginia on Wednesday. Here, the Hurricanes laying the points have value. 

Miami has been impressive down the stretch of the season, racking up 4 straight wins as they got exceptional play from QB Brad Kaaya. 

Kaaya finished with 3250 yards passing while accumulating 23 touchdowns passes. 

Where the value comes in to play is when this Miami defense is on the field. They have been consistent all season long and one of the best when it comes to not allowing the opposition to score in bunches. The Hurricanes are conceding just 18.9 points per game and matchup very well with this West Virginia team. 

Some trends to note. Hurricanes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Hurricanes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Expect Miami to have a big gathering here by playing so close to home and to really get pressure defensively here as this is a good match up for them.

Back Miami FL ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Washington State -10

The Cougars take on the Golden Gophers and Washington State minus the points is a solid move here. 

Minnesota's distractions are certainly a huge deal here. 

The Golden Gophers nearly backed out of this bowl after allegations against teammates earlier this month. However, they decided to move forward with playing, but their minds certainly aren't with it entering play. 

The Cougars meanwhile, will offer one of the best passing offenses in the nation. Washington State averages over 40 points a game and can pick apart opposing secondaries. Expect them to really take some deep chances, especially early on, as they try to bury this Golden Gophers team. 

Some trends to note. Cougars are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Cougars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

Look for Washington State to push the issue here, as an early lead is almost a doom to this Minnesota team.

Back Washington State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Temple -11.5

The Owls take on the Demon Deacons Tuesday and Temple laying the points has the value. 

This is just a clear cut mismatch anyway you look at it. The Owls rushing attack is just going to be too much for this Wake Forest team to keep up with. 

Temple leans on Phillip Walker and Jahad Thomas, both who are explosive playmakers and can turn a small gain into a big one as they never stop moving their feet. 

The Owls have won 7 straight games and 20 of their last 27 dating back to the last couple seasons. Meanwhile, they get a Wake Forest team that just simply limps into bowl season. Wake Forest has lost 6 of their last 8 games as they are certainly offensively challenged, scoring under 20 points per game.

Some trends to note. Owls are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Owls are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games on fieldturf.

Temple is an NCAA best 12-1 ATS this season. Expect them to really wear out this Wake Forest defense on Tuesday.

Back Temple ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Miami Ohio +14.5

The Miami (Ohio) Redhawks have won their last six games. It's not very often you'll find a team that started the season 0-6 that makes their way to a bowl game, but that's what we have here.

Mississippi State also played well late in the year and gets in at 5-7 because of their academic standing. The Bulldogs are definitely the more talented team here- but the question is why would they care all that much about this game?

An SEC team isn't likely to be too excited about playing a MAC team at 11 am eastern the day after Christmas. Motivation is everything this time of the year, and I think Miami has more motivation in this one. The Redhawks want to prove they belong and they'll fight to the end in this one.

This number has been bet up north of two touchdowns to where there is value in the underdog. Miami (Ohio) has a strong rushing defense and they should be able to hang around in this contest.

A couple trends of note. Miami (Ohio) is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 non conference games. Miami is also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Take Miami (Ohio).

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CFB ATS Play

Toledo -1

The Toledo Rockets will have the best offense Appalachian State has faced all season. You have to give Appalachian State credit for doing a great job defensively this year, but stopping teams in the Sun Belt is one thing, and stopping the Toledo Rockets is a whole different story.

Last year, Appalachian State beat Ohio 31-29 in this same bowl game. Ohio's offense wasn't even close to as dynamic as this Toledo offense. Logan Woodside has 43 touchdown passes and only 9 picks on the year. Woodside has thrown for the 7th most yards of any quarterback in the country. 

That doesn't mean Toledo is one -dimensional though. The Rockets have a great running back in Kareem Hunt. Miami scored 45 points on Appalachian State earlier this year, and Akron scored 38. When they have gone out of conference, this Appalachian State defense has struggled. Toledo is converting on just over 52% of their third downs and they are scoring more than 92% of the time in the red zone. 

Appalachian State has a good running game, and they'll get their points as well, but I don't see them being able to hang with Toledo's offense which has much more overall balance.

A couple trends of note. Toledo is 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games. Toledo is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 following a loss. 

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

San Diego State +4

The Aztecs and Cougars battle in the Las Vegas Bowl and San Diego State plus the points is the move here. 

Houston comes in off a loss in their final game of the regular season to Memphis in heart breaking fashion. To make matters even worse on them, they are now without a head coach, as Tom Herman has moved onto Texas. 

The Cougars started this year off promising, but a few slip ups saw them lose their shot at crashing the BCS Playoff and the Cotton Bowl. 

This is a game where the Aztecs will wear the Cougars defense out. RB Donnel Pumphrey is one of the best backs in the nation and will have plenty of success here against a Houston defense that has been a mess. Look for him to find many gaps in the defense, especially as the night goes on. 

Some trends to note. Aztecs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games on fieldturf. Aztecs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.

Grabbing points in this spot is certainly nice. The fate of this Cougars team is in real jeopardy going forward with their coach leaving and Greg Ward Jr. graduating after this contest. A lot of uncertainty is on the minds of the Cougars here, who have a real shot to lose this one.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

New Mexico -6.5

The Lobos take on UTSA on Saturday and New Mexico holds the value laying the points here. 

There are going to be plenty of nerves on the side of UTSA, who will be playing in their first bowl game in program history as they have been eligible for just 6 seasons. 

To make matters worse, they'll be the true road team here in this bowl game. 

New Mexico will get the honors of playing in a bowl game named after them, as they will be playing on their home field, a place where they dominated this season. The Lobos went 5-1 at home this season and will certainly have a big crowd backing them here. 

New Mexico will wear this UTSA team down with their rushing attack, as they have 2 backs who average around the 100 yard mark per game and that have accounted for 19 touchdowns. 

Some trends to note. Lobos are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games. Roadrunners are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 following a straight up win. 

Look for the Lobos to dominate play here. They're a threatening team and with home field advantage here, look for some inspired play here.

Back New Mexico.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -17

The Mountaineers welcome in the Baylor Bears on Saturday and laying the points is the move. 

Baylor is to the point that they look like they're ready for this season to end. The Bears have dropped 5 straight games and just looks bad on both sides of the ball.

Defensively, they just watched Texas Tech, who had scored 7 points the prior week against Iowa State, run up and down the field on them. Their lowest point total allowed during this losing streak has been 35. 

As for West Virginia, they're looking to finish the season off with 10 wins and get some help in trying to secure a top non BCS Playoff Bowl game. The Mountaineers bounced back from a horrible loss to Oklahoma with a dominant performance against the Cyclones last week. The Mountaineers have played 5-1 ball at home this season and should have no issues flustering this weak Baylor offense utilizing a backup QB.

Some trends to note. Bears are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. Bears are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

The Bears are just a mess right now. Given that, combined with West Virginia looking for that 10th win and a potential top bowl game, this is a nice spot to expect a lopsided win.

Back West Virginia ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Colorado +8

The Buffaloes take on the Huskies for the Pac 12 Championship and grabbing the points is the way to go here. 

Colorado is no pushover by any means. They've rattled off 6 straight wins and come in off an impressive win over Utah that clinched their spot here. 

Colorado has found a solid combination of tempo offensively, while using the ability to put together various blitz packages to use against the opposition. This year they're outscoring opponents 34.8 to 18.8. 

When it comes to Washington, this team is impressive, but the pressure is all there. A slip up or even a close win could lead to them dropping out of that 4th spot. With that in mind, there are certainly going to be some nerves from this team. Washington's lone loss came against a USC team that plays a very similar style to the Buffaloes. 

Some trends to note. Buffaloes are 7-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Buffaloes are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

This game is going to be close. Expect this to come down to one of the last couple possessions, with the points above a touchdown having the value.

Back Colorado ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Western Michigan -17

The Western Michigan Broncos are unbeaten on the year, and if they win this game they will likely be the top team outside the Power Five conferences. That would put them in one of the big bowl games, and that would be a huge boost for a program from the MAC.

The Broncos have a really good running game. Western Michigan rotates two guys in the backfield, and they should both have some success. Still, I think it is in the passing game where Western Michigan will have the most success here.

Terrell is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the country, and he has a star receiver in Davis on the outside. Ohio doesn't have anyone who can slow down Davis. The Bobcats secondary has been routinely burned by receivers with much less talent than Davis throughout the course of the season.

Also, with Navy only two spots behind them in the latest CFP rankings, Western Michigan is a little more likely to look to extend this lead late in the game. They need to impress here.

A couple trends of note here. Western Michigan is 27-10 ATS in their last 37 games overall. Western Michigan is also 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Ohio.

Take Western Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

Michigan State +11

The Michigan State Spartans won't go to a bowl game this year. In essence, this is their bowl game. Michigan State is a proud program, and I think Mark Dantonio will have his team ready to play for this one. 

Michigan State is a whopping 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. They are 3-0 ATS in that role this year. Even when they are a mediocre team, they have been good when getting points.

Penn State is in a rare high pressure role here. This team hasn't been in this situation in the last couple years. If Ohio State beats Michigan, Penn State has to win to be in the Big Ten Championship game. 

On the other hand, if Michigan were to beat Ohio State, there would be a lot less reason for Penn State to be excited for this game, which would be another reason to look to the underdog with the points. Michigan State's defense wasn't good earlier in the year, but they have showed me a lot in the last couple weeks. They should hold their own. 

Michigan State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 November games.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB 9* ATS Play

Alabama -17

The Crimson Tide take on Auburn and despite this being a rivalry game, this is a spot to back Alabama. 

The Crimson Tide have been giving big numbers against top SEC teams all season and they've had zero issue when it comes to covering. Alabama is 8-3 ATS and one of those losses came against Chattanooga last week where they simply wanted clock to run and didn't want to show anything to Auburn. 

Alabama is going to simply wear Auburn down. The Tigers have plenty on injuries on both sides of the ball, which isn't going to help any cause.

Expect Alabama to use QB Jalen Hurts on a lot of run/pass options, as Alabama is took quick for Auburn. 

Some trends to consider. Crimson Tide are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. Crimson Tide are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games.

Don't be shy of laying the points here. Alabama is far too talented and quick, along with all the injuries the Tigers have piled up, this just doesn't bode well for Auburn.

Back Alabama ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Iowa State +7

The Cyclones welcome in the Mountaineers on Saturday and the home team with the points has the value. 

Iowa State gets a look at a very deflated West Virginia team here. After they were in the drivers seat for a shot at the Big 12 title, Gameday visited on Saturday for their crucial matchup with Oklahoma. The Mountaineers were completely embarrassed on national TV, ending their hopes for a conference title. 

Meanwhile, Iowa State comes in with their first momentum of the season. They won back to back games and put on a show, scoring 66 points against Texas Tech last week. This Cyclones team is finally playing with confidence and will have plenty of motivation to finish the season off strong here on senior day. 

Expect Iowa State to really win this game with their pace. They'll control the tempo and really wear down the Mountaineers with their pace of play. Expect them to pick up small yardage and try to continuously move the chains, really wearing out West Va.

Some trends to note. Cyclones are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games on grass. Cyclones are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Iowa State has been a good team to back this year. Grab the touchdown, as they'll have their chances to steal this one.

Back Iowa State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Toledo +10

The Rockets take on Western Michigan Friday afternoon with everything on the line. Grabbing the points is a nice way to go here. 

Toledo has some revenge on their minds after last season where the Broncos ruined their chances at a MAC West title. Here with a win, the Rockets would not only ruin the Broncos shot at the MAC West and take it for themselves, but they'd also hand them their first loss and eliminate them from the Top 25 and the Cotton Bowl bid they would get. 

Western Michigan has gotten all the attention in the MAC, but don't overlook this Toledo team. The Rockets have won 3 straight and are a stellar 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS on the road this year. 

The Rockets run one of the best balanced offenses in the nation, with their QB Logan Woodside being one of the best in the nation. Woodside leads the country with 40 touchdown passes and sits 4th in the nation with 3,653 yards. He can manage the game so well and will certainly use those skills here against an impressive WMU defense. 

Some trends to note. Road team is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings. Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Western Michigan.

Toledo is going to give Western Michigan a lot of fits here. Expect a close battle with this one being decided late.

Back Toledo ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Texas -3

The Texas Longhorns welcome in the TCU Horned Frogs and here Texas holds value laying the field goal. 

There was plenty of drama this past week after Texas lost to the Jayhawks outright as 23.5 point favorites. It was reported that head coach Charlie Strong would be let go of his duties, something boosters were pushing extremely hard for. However, when asked about it, Strong said he was never told anything from the school and the Texas administration said they would assess the situation at season's end. 

Strong was first to say his staff deserves another year and this is a chance to really prove it and get his players to play inspired come Friday night. 

The Longhorns have home field, which is huge here. Texas has played very good at home, going 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS. 

Some trends to note. Horned Frogs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Horned Frogs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 conference games.

This is a perfect matchup for the Longhorns. Expect the players to really come out and play for Charlie Strong and for this coaching staff to really show why they deserve another shot at this next year.

Back Texas ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Air Force +8.5

The Falcons and Broncos get set for battle Friday afternoon and Air Force has the value here with the points.

Boise State is in an odd situation. Despite being number 19 in the nation, they can't play for the conference championship even with a win here. Their loss to Wyoming has them needing a win and a New Mexico win on Saturday. Should one of those not happen, the Broncos would not be eligible for the Cotton Bowl bid.

It's likely that the Cowboys won't lose to New Mexico, which is quite demoralizing and distracting for this Broncos team heading into play on Friday.

Air Force and their triple option are not an easy task either. Air Force enters play at 8-3 and ranks 4th in the nation with 323.5 rush yards per game. They are tough to slow down, especially once they get in rhythm. This is not a good matchup for Boise State, who struggles against the run as well.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win. Falcons are 11-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

This is going to a battle. Grabbing the points here is the way to go, as Air Force has a chance to even take this one outright.

Back Air Force ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Texas A&M +6.5

The Texas A&M Aggies host the LSU Tigers on Thanksgiving night. Kyle Field is still one of the best homefield advantages in college football. Texas A&M will get Trevor Knight back for this one. He was expected to be out, but it was announced on Wednesday night that he will play.

LSU gets a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, and I understand needing to respect the talent they have. Still, this is a 6-4 football team. They have found ways to lose games, and they have played in a lot of close games. For them to be this large of a favorite here makes little sense.

Leonard Fournette is expected to miss this game, and that certainly hurts LSU. The Aggies pass rush is one of the best in the country, and LSU's offensive front should have a difficult time keeping them at bay here.

LSU is 4-11 ATS in their last 15 November games. LSU is coming off an emotionally draining loss to Florida, while Texas A&M only had to play UTSA last weekend.

Take Texas A&M.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CFB ATS Play

Miami OH Redhawks -7

The Redhawks get set to take on Ball State on Tuesday and the home team laying the points has the value. 

Miami is extremely hot as they look to turn around what was a disaster of a season into a MAC East title. The Redhawks started the season off 0-6, before making a QB change and rattling off 5 straight wins. While they need some help to steal the MAC East, one more win would put them in bowl eligibility territory still. 

QB Gus Ragland has done everything right and continues to be extremely productive. Ragland has thrown for 12 touchdowns in his time as starting QB, while not throwing an interception which has been the biggest key. He'll get a look at a Cardinals defense that allows 473 pass yards per game. 

Some trends to note. Redhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games. Redhawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win.

Miami is red hot right now and this is a very ideal matchup for them. Expect Ragland to continue his dominance, as the Redhawks roll. 

Back Miami OH ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Stanford -10.5

The Stanford Cardinal travel to Berkeley to take on the Cal Golden Bears in this big rivalry game. The spread here is lower than expected largely because most people think in rivalry games you have to grab the underdog. In many cases, that is true, but there are a couple key reasons to like Stanford in this one.

The single biggest reason to lay the points with Stanford is their running game. Christian McCaffrey is finally healthy, and it has been showing in recent performances. He has run for at least 6.2 yards per carry in each of his last three games.

What about the Cal defense? Cal is second to last in the entire nation in defensive yards per carry allowed. The Golden Bears are allowing 6.19 yards per carry. Now, they are up against one of the best running backs in the country. Should they be able to stop him just because it is a rivalry game? I doubt it.

Cal's offense is also very injured right now. Davis Webb will likely play, but he is far less than 100 percent at quarterback. Star receiver Chad Hansen is listed as questionable for this one. Stanford will score plenty here, and I'm not sure Cal has the weapons to keep up now.

A couple trends of note. Stanford is 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 vs. a team with a losing record. Cal is 9-25 ATS in their last 34 following a straight up loss.

Take Stanford.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Utah -14

The Utes welcome in the Ducks on Saturday afternoon and Utah laying 2 touchdowns hold a lot of value here. 

First off, the Ducks defense is just atrocious. They allow 45 points per game and it actually seems a lot worse than that. Teams have the ability to literally run up and down the field on this Oregon defense and this is not the most ideal matchup for them against Utah. 

The Utes have found a way to score a lot more than recent years, averaging 31 points per game. They also aren't just doing it with the typical Utah run style. The Utes will take plenty of chances deep down field with the pass game, another thing the Ducks are vulnerable too. 

Utah's defense is also no pushover. They lead the nation in takeaways, as they sit with 25 on the season. 

Some trends to note. Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Utes are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.

Utah is far more superior here. This is a case where the Utes will simply overpower and overmatch the Ducks defense and run away with this game.

Back Utah ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Toledo -20

The Rockets welcome in Ball State on Wednesday and the home team laying the points has value.

This is going to be an extremely difficult game for the Ball State defense. They are slow to the ball and going up against one of the best offenses in the MAC and even in the nation doesn't bode well for them here. 

The Rockets have put up nearly 40 points per game and rank 5th in the nation in total yards as they sit with 539.7 per game. Toledo can burn teams with the pass and run game, as both are in the top tier in the nation. 

The Cardinals come in after allowing 48 points to Eastern Michigan last week and they have the 115th ranked defense in the nation. This is just going to be too much for them to overcome, as they simply will get burned down the field. 

Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November. Rockets are 19-5-2 ATS in their last 26 games overall.

Toledo is far more superior here. Expect them to really wear down Ball State and run them over with a lopsided win.

Back Toledo ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Iowa +21.5

The Hawkeyes are in primetime against the Wolverines and this is just too many points. 

Don't get it twisted, Michigan is clearly a top team in the nation for a reason, but Iowa isn't a pushover team, especially at home. 

The Hawkeyes are allowing 20.4 points per game at home this season and the reason for their struggles has come from the offensive end. Iowa isn't overpower, nor are they going to make the big play. What they will do is wear teams down with their run game and chew clock. 

Michigan will be going on the road for just the third time this season. While rolling over Rutgers on the road isn't very impressive, when they took on a quality opponent like the Spartans, they struggled to pull away. 

Some trends to note. Underdog is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings. Hawkeyes are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

4 of the last 5 meetings in Iowa between the two teams have been decided by 3 points or less. This one will be closer than the experts think. Grab the points.

Back Iowa ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Georgia +10.5

"The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" takes place on Saturday as Auburn heads into Georgia. Here, the points are valuable. 

This rivalry is about as close as you can get with Georgia holding a slight 56-55 lead. The Bulldogs have taken 10 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams as well. 

Georgia needs just one more win to become bowl eligible and this is a perfect spot for them to steal one from Auburn. The Tigers have plenty on their minds as they know they need to keep winning up until the matchup with Alabama that they are certainly looking ahead too. They'll have a weak non conference game with Alabama A&M next week before their meeting with the Crimson Tide, so this is certainly a look ahead spot. 

Auburn will be playing just their 3rd road contest as well. They have gone 2-0 on the road, but this is going to be a hostile environment to deal with. Thing won't be easy for them here with the crowd noise. 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November. Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in November. 

Don't overlook the trends here either. The Bulldogs are good late in the season, while the Tigers tend to taper off. This is a nice spot for Georgia to keep this close and lean on their run game and Nick Chubb here to chew clock.

Back Georgia ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma -17

The Baylor Bears really haven't been very good all year. At least not compared to expectations. Baylor is just 2-6 ATS so far this season. It's been a tumultuous season in Waco, and the Bears seem to be heading south fast.

Baylor losing at home to TCU last week made some sense because they were coming off a heartbreaking loss to Texas to ruin their chances at the playoff this year. What didn't make any sense was losing by 40 points. This was a TCU team that came into that game playing some terrible football. 

Oklahoma remembers the game two years ago when Baylor came to Norman and smashed the Sooners. Oklahoma is getting healthy at the right time, and I have little doubt they'd love to crush the Bears in this spot.

Baylor's high octane (at least it used to be) offense is only averaging 6.1 yards per play so far this season. That's 31st in the nation. What about Oklahoma? They are averaging 7.4 yards per play, which is good for fourth best in the country.

A few trends for this one. Baylor is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Baylor is also 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Big 12 conference games. Oklahoma is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 conference games.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Washington State -16.5

The Washington State Cougars go home to play an injury-plagued Arizona team that seems to have packed it in for the season. 

Arizona is way down from where they were a couple years ago. Look at last week's effort from Arizona. After a bye week the previous week, Arizona came out and laid an egg at home against a Stanford team that isn't that good. Arizona was a 3.5 point underdog, and they lost 34-10. In their previous home game, they were beaten 48-14 by USC. It is getting embarrassing, and the team hasn't shown any signs of coming back.

Mike Leach's Washington State Cougars have far more balance than they have had in the past. Luke Falk is a tremendous quarterback for this system. The Cougars can run the ball well this year. Most importantly, they now have an above average defense.

Arizona doesn't even know who is playing quarterback for them in this one. Washington State will score plenty here, and I don't see Arizona keeping up. 

Some trends to note. Arizona is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Pac 12 games. Washington State is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Pac 12 games. 

Back Washington State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Kansas State -2.5

The Wildcats host the Cowboys on Saturday afternoon and the home team, laying the small number has the value here. 

Kansas State has been an impressive home team this season. Kansas State has gone a perfect 4-0 while outscoring their opponents on average 41.5 to 16.5. This game holds a solid importance for Kansas State, as they look for the 6th win to become bowl eligible. 

The Wildcats get the edge here thanks to QB Jesse Ertz. The Kansas State QB is hurting the opposition with his legs, as he comes in off a 106 yard rushing performance. With his new found running abilities, Ertz is a dual threat guy now that can really keep a defense on their heels. 

Defensively, the Wildcats get a strong edge here as well. They are giving up just 21.4 points per game and rarely allowing the big play. 

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Wildcats are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games in November.

At this number, the Wildcats have value. Expect them to really control the tempo here and use that home field advantage they've used all season long. 

Back Kansas State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Virginia Tech -10.5

The Hokies head into Duke and laying the number with the road team has the value. 

Virginia Tech comes in off a huge road win over Pittsburgh that has them set up for the final stretch. The Hokies are now in a tie with the Tar Heels for the top spot in the Coastal Division, but have the tiebreaker. 

They take on a Duke team that has a lot of injuries that may be just too tough to overcome. 

Duke has already lost their starting QB Thomas Sirk, along with starting CB DeVon Edwards. Now, they'll be without their leading rusher RB Jela Duncan. Last week, Duncan tore his achilles while celebrating a touchdown against Georgia Tech. 

The threats for Duke are just gone and they have no explosive playmaker on either side of the ball who can make a difference. 

Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass. Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games in November.

This is a clear mismatch here. Virginia Tech is far more talented and has a lot more momentum here.

Back Virginia Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Northwestern +7

The Wildcats welcome in the Badgers on Saturday and Northwestern plus the points holds value. 

This is a solid fade the public play. The percentages show a lot of the bets are on the Badgers side, with the money favoring the Wildcats. 

Northwestern has played extremely well as of late, as they've won 3 of their last 4 with the loss coming on the road against the #6 Buckeyes. Northwestern took Ohio State to the finish and elected to kick a field goal instead of go for the tie, ultimately leading to Ohio State running the clock out. 

The Wildcats are playing extremely well on both sides of the ball, but defensively has been the biggest key. They've given up just 16.4 points per game in 5 home games this season.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Wildcats are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in November.

Northwestern has dominated the last 4 times Wisconsin has visited Ryan Field as a ranked team. Look for the Wildcats to have a legit chance to pull off the upset here. 

Back Northwestern ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Colorado -13

The Buffaloes welcome in the Bruins on Thursday night and the home team laying the points has value. 

Colorado has been one of the more surprising teams all season. 

Ranked 20th, Colorado leads the Pac 12 South and controls their own destiny to the title game. 

Colorado ranks 19th offensively, putting up 496 yards per game. The offense is fast paced and can strike quickly. 
 
Some trends to note. Bruins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. Buffaloes are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. Buffaloes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

This is a clear mis match. The Bruins just don't have enough firepower, or the speed to even keep up here with the Buffs.

Back Colorado. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Akron +10

The Akron Zips get a rare shot to play at home on national television on Wednesday night. Spots like this are huge for the home team, especially when they haven't been in big games in the past few seasons.

It's important to point out that the MAC has been great for underdog players of late. Last weekend, there were four MAC games. All four of them saw the underdog win outright. All 4 of those underdogs were dogs of a touchdown or more! That's pretty crazy to think about, but it is true, and some wild things happen when MACtion gets here.

Toledo has a very good offense, but the Rockets defense hasn't been up to par this year. The public is all over the Rockets here, but I can't take a team that is playing poor defense and lay 10 points on the road in a conference that is as unpredictable as the MAC.

We'll take the motivated home underdog.

A couple trends of note. The Zips are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games. Akron is also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 November games.

Take Akron.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CFB ATS Play

Wisconsin -8

The Wisconsin Badgers host the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday night in Madison. The line tells you a lot in this one. Nebraska is unbeaten and in the Top 10, and yet they are an underdog of more than a touchdown in this game.

Why would that be the case? Because the oddsmakers are convinced Nebraska isn't all that good. I agree. Who has Nebraska beaten? They beat Oregon at home by 3 points, but we've since found out that Oregon isn't any good. The Cornhuskers have been very underwhelming, and it is just a matter of time until they start losing some games. 

Nebraska ranks 63rd in the nation in yards per carry allowed so far this year. The best running attack they have played so far this year is Oregon, and the Ducks riddled them for more than 300 yards. Wisconsin has a great offensive line and the Badgers should be able to open up a lot of holes in this one.

Tommy Armstrong isn't a dependable quarterback in the passing game, and this Wisconsin defense is the real deal. Nebraska will likely become too predictable in this one. I expect the Badgers defense to shut them down.

Lay the points with the Badgers in this game.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State +3.5

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are a live home underdog in this one. Oklahoma State is really well coached by Mike Gundy, and that makes them dangerous catching points on their home field.

West Virginia isn't as good as their record would indicate either. The Mountaineers have yet to prove they can beat a top notch team. We are going to find out that West Virginia is a good, but not great team at some point. I think that will be here.

Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph leads a very potent passing game for the Cowboys. Oklahoma State ranks 12th in the nation in passing yards per contest. The Cowboys started the season a bit slowly on offense, but they have been great of late.

West Virginia's team is feeling really good about themselves right now. The Mountaineers aren't going to continue to go on the road and win against quality teams. Here, we get a good team at home and more than a field goal. Grab these points, but don't be surprised if Oklahoma State wins this one outright.

Back Oklahoma State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Pittsburgh +3.5

The Pittsburgh Panthers had the week off last weekend. Pittsburgh is coached by Pat Narduzzi, who I consider a very good head coach. Given extra time to prepare for a game, I expect him to have his guys ready for this contest.

Virginia Tech has been really inconsistent this year. At times, this team has looked like one of the better teams in the country. They were very impressive in their win over North Carolina on the road. They were very impressive in their win over Miami last weekend as well. Still, Virginia Tech is capable of laying an egg like they did at Syracuse.

The Hokies run the ball a bunch this year (about 65% of the time). Pittsburgh's secondary is their weakness, and I'm not sure Virginia Tech's offense is the right one to expose that Pitt weakness in the secondary. 

Pittsburgh's ground game is excellent with Conner and Ollison. This one should be close all the way. Grab the well rested and prepared home team plus the points.

A couple trends of note. The Hokies are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a bye week.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Wyoming -5.5

The Wyoming Cowboys are a much improved team this year. Craig Bohl was always a tremendous coach at the FCS level and many wondered how much longer it would take his team to turn it around. It is happening this year. The Cowboys are playing much better in the trenches, and it is making a world of difference.

Wyoming has two really good runners in Hill and Wick. These are guys who should carve up this Nevada defense that is allowing more than five yards per carry so far this year.

Nevada hasn't played a tough schedule, and yet they have been gashed on the ground on a consistent basis. Wyoming should put up a big rushing total in this game.

Wyoming's run defense is about 1.5 yards per carry better than it was a year ago. Nevada isn't a team capable of throwing it around to beat you. The Wolf Pack don't have enough firepower, and they don't have an accurate quarterback.

The line move here should be respected. Lay the points with the Wyoming Cowboys.

Back Wyoming.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Auburn -10

This is an interesting line. Arkansas is coming off two really big games. Arkansas lost at home to Alabama two weeks ago. They then beat Ole Miss in a big home win last weekend. They travel to Auburn to take on the Tigers here. 

Auburn has had an easier schedule of late, and the Tigers have looked much better on offense since Gus Malzahn gave up the play calling duties. Auburn is running the ball much more, and it has been working out very nicely. The Tigers offensive line has a big edge on the Arkansas defensive line in this game.

Arkansas is careless with the football, and that has cost them several times this year. In this one, it looks like a spot where Vegas is begging you to grab the points with the underdog, and in this case we aren't going to do it. We'll lay the price with the fresher team with the better defense.

A couple trends of note. Auburn is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two teams. 

Back Auburn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Bowling Green -4

The Falcons welcome in the Miami OH Redhawks on Saturday and this is a nice number to lay with the Falcons. 

Bowling Green and Miami OH sit with identical 1-6 records, but Bowling Green was not supposed to be nearly this bad this season. However, even their record doesn't indicate them. Bowling Green has lost their last 3 games, all against the MAC, by 3 points, 6 points, and 7 points. 

As for Miami, they come in off their first win of the season, however it was against Kent State who not only has a RB playing QB, but they are one of the worst scoring offenses in all of college football. 

Miami isn't going to threaten much offensively either. They're averaging just 17 points per game and are a completely station to station offense. Meaning, they don't take chances deep down field and like to work their way down slowly. It's just not a good offense that even Bowling Green should be able to stop here. 

Some trends to note. Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Falcons are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 conference games.

The Falcons haven't played as bad as it seems lately. Given how much of a struggle Miami is, this is a nice spot for Bowling Green to lay the small number.

Back Bowling Green ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Iowa +4

The Iowa Hawkeyes aren't a popular pick this week, and that's ok. Everyone and their brother is betting Wisconsin in this game. Why not right? Wisconsin looked really good against Ohio State and arguably should have won the game. The Badgers only lost by 7 at Michigan (though that was a misleading final).

Wisconsin though is in a really bad spot here coming off a primetime loss to a very physical Ohio State team. The Badgers now travel to Iowa City to take on a hungry Iowa team that has lost two games already this year. 

Iowa is being counted out by too many people. This is a Hawkeyes team that has been very good the last few seasons, and Wisconsin definitely isn't the same team on the road that they are at home. 

Wisconsin doesn't have a strong passing game, and I think Iowa will load up the box in this one. We'll go with an against the grain play on the home underdog in a strong situation.

The Badgers are only 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.

Back Iowa.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina +7

The Tar Heels head to Miami on Saturday and catching a touchdown, they hold value. 

Miami comes in off a loss that certainly exposed them at home. Florida State had the Hurricanes offense scrambling all over the place. 

This is a nice spot for North Carolina in terms of a bounce back as well. They were knocked around by Virginia Tech, at home, this coming after they took down the Seminoles the week before. 

Not that they get an absolute free pass either, the weather played a huge role in the loss to the Hokies. Hurricane Matthew was right in the middle of the Carolinas, but the game was decided to be played and it really hurt this Tar Heels offense. This Tar Heels offense has averaged over 34 points per game this season, which is impressive given their schedule.

Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. Tar Heels are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in October.

Given the experience of big games the Tar Heels have had on the road and the success they've had, they'll certainly have a chance to bounce back in a big way here. 

Back North Carolina ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan State -6.5

The Michigan State Spartans have looked really bad in their last couple games. There's no denying that, but there is also no denying that they have a tremendous coach in Mark Dantonio, and they are going to bounce back. 

Northwestern is coming off a 38-31 road win at Iowa. The Wildcats are feeling pretty good about themselves even though it is pretty evident that Northwestern isn't all that good of a team. Northwestern did lose at home to Illinois State. They were also dominated at home by Nebraska.

Michigan State's defense has been vulnerable against big play teams this year, but Northwestern isn't that type of team. The Wildcats have a questionable passing attack and Michigan State is going to load up the box to stop the run here.

Michigan State likes playing against teams who are physical and try to play power football, and that is exactly what Northwestern will want to do in this one.

The Spartans are too well-coached to show up with poor efforts on a weekly basis. They bounce back here. This is a chance to buy low on a quality program.

Take Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Kansas State +13

The Kansas State Wildcats were absolutely embarrassed 55-0 by the Oklahoma Sooners last year. Bill Snyder's teams don't get beaten like that very often, and when they do, you have to believe they will show up ready for the next meeting.

Kansas State actually won outright 31-30 in their last game at Oklahoma. The Wildcats are much healthier than they were last season, and this is a team that is more prepared to deal with Oklahoma's team speed. The Wildcats have a healthy secondary and a healthy quarterback, two things they didn't have last season.

Bill Snyder gives us a massive coaching advantage over Bob Stoops. Snyder is a legend in this business. The guy is one of the very best to ever coach college football. He gets the most out of his guys, and Stoops has become well known for his teams going through the motions in key games.

Several trends strongly support this one. Kansas State is 42-18-1 ATS in their last 61 Big 12 Conference games. The Wildcats are also 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 games vs. a team with a winning record (Coach Snyder great in this spot). Kansas State is 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games at Oklahoma.

Take Kansas State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Tulane +10.5

The Tulane Green Wave are much improved under first-year head coach Willie Fritz. This team is definitely getting better quicker than anyone expected them to. Fritz did an amazing job at Georgia Southern and his ability to do this well at Tulane is proving how great he truly is at his craft.

The Memphis Tigers are coming off a misleading win against Temple. They were outgained by the Owls, and probably shouldn't have even won the game. Memphis has played one of the weakest schedules in the country so far this year. 

While it makes sense for Memphis to be favored here, this is too many points. Tulane's triple option slows the game down drastically. The Green Wave have been able to control the time of possession, and I think they'll do it again here. The Tulane defense is much better against the run than they have been in previous years.

Tulane gets a rare chance to be on television on a weeknight at home. Grab the home underdog and the points.

A couple trends of note. The Memphis Tigers are 6-15-3 ATS in their last 24 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Tulane is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 October games.

Back Tulane.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan Wolverines -29.5

The Wolverines head into Rutgers for their first road game of the season and no matter what the case may be here Michigan holds value. 

Rutgers is just a bad football team. Ohio State absolutely dismantled them on Saturday night as Rutgers wasn't even close to finding the end zone. Rutgers had just 116 yards of total offense and have only 7 points over their last two games.

They'll get a Michigan defense that just swarms here. The Wolverines shut down Wisconsin last week and if they did that to Wisconsin, think about what they'll do to Rutgers.

Offensively, the Wolverines are going to pick apart the Scarlet Knights. Michigan has averaged 44.4 points per game this season and they'll get a look at a Rutgers defense that has conceded 35 per game which includes some weak competition.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.

Look for Michigan to run right over Rutgers from the opening kick off as they cruise here, blowing out the Scarlet Knights. 

Back Michigan ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Marshall -10

The Marshall Thundering Herd are dropping down a lot in level of competition this week as they take on the lowly North Texas Mean Green. While North Texas is liable to get a lot better in time with Seth Littrell as their head coach, this is going to be an ugly year for them.

Marshall has looked bad the last couple weeks, but when you play Louisville and Pittsburgh and you are a Conference USA member, you are going to look bad. Marshall is in a perfect spot to bounce back in this game, and Chase Litton is once again healthy.

The North Texas offense has absolutely no ground game, which will allow Marshall to get after the passer in this one. Marshall's defense has been much maligned this year, but they should be able to get the job done against this weak competition. 

A couple trends of note. Marshall is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games. They are also 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 following an ATS loss. 

Take Marshall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Central Michigan -12

The Chippewas welcome in the Ball State Cardinals and this is a clear mismatch. Laying the points here has a lot of value.

Central Michigan is in a really good bounce back position. Don't think these guys won't come out with some fire after last weeks embarrassing performance against Western Michigan. 

The Chippewas get the strong edge here thanks to their passing game versus the pass defense of the Cardinals. CMU ranks 23rd in the nation with 306 yards through the air per game. For the Cardinals, they have the 104th ranked pass defense, that gives up 273.8 yards per game. The discrepancy is just too big to pass up. 

Some trends to note. Chippewas are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. Chippewas are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points.

CMU bounces back after blowout losses. With how weak the Cardinals secondary is, expect a big night for the pass game and QB Cooper rush in this one. 

Back CMU ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Wyoming +11

The Wyoming Cowboys have played the Air Force Falcons tough the last few seasons. Wyoming won 17-13 two years ago on their home field. In that game, Wyoming held the Air Force rushing attack to just 151 yards on the ground.

The Wyoming Cowboys rushing defense has been a weakness in previous years, but they are much better against the run this year. Wyoming is only allowing 3.74 yards per carry, which is in the top 45 teams in the country.

Air Force is totally reliant on running the football, and Wyoming has been pretty good at stopping the option in recent years despite being terrible against the average rushing attack. Now that they are better up front in general, I expect them to make it hard on Air Force.

The Wyoming running game has two strong runners, and the Cowboys have the best offensive line they have had since Craig Bohl took over as coach.

A couple trends of note. Wyoming is a perfect 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams. Wyoming is also 6-1 ATS in their last 7 October games.

Take Wyoming.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Temple +10

The Temple Owls defense has had Memphis' number over the last few seasons. Memphis has scored 21, 16, and 12 points in the last three years against Temple. 

The Tigers had current NFL quarterback Paxton Lynch leading the way in those years, and yet they still weren't able to score much at all against the Owls. Without Lynch, it's hard to see Memphis scoring a ton of points here.

Temple's defense has lost some key players from last year's team (Matakevich being the biggest loss), but the Owls still have a solid nucleus. Temple played Penn State to a tight 7 point game earlier this year.

Expect Temple to look to run the ball often in this one, and I think they can have success. Memphis is coming off a draining loss to Mississippi where their defense was on the field a bunch throughout that contest.

Memphis has beaten up on some really bad teams this year, and that has inflated this number. Grab the points on the underdog.

A couple trends of note. The Owls are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 conference games. Temple is also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 October games.

Back Temple.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Clemson +1.5

The Clemson Tigers were opened as a three point favorite in this game before the betting public decided to unload on Louisville. The Cardinals have gotten a ton of money here and are now favored in Death Valley.

Personally, I believe the opener of Clemson -3 was a better line than the current line. Remember, this is a Clemson team that lost in the national title game a year ago. Clemson is tremendous at home. The night game atmosphere here will be a tremendous one. Louisville hasn't been in a situation like this so far this year.

There's no denying that Lamar Jackson and the Louisville offense have been putting up ridiculous stats. The only question is whether you think they can keep doing it here. I still think Jackson will have a good game, but it shouldn't be like his recent games.

Deshaun Watson has been upstaged so far this season, but don't forget how good he is either. Watson is fully capable of putting on a show.

We'll fade the public and play the Tigers as a home underdog.

A couple trends of note. Clemson is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Clemson is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.

Take Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

TCU +3.5

The TCU Horned Frogs are very dangerous as a home underdog. The public is all over Oklahoma here, and I think that is because they are taking the "it is time for them to turn it on now that they are in the Big 12 mentality," I'm not sure they are good enough to do that.

Maybe Oklahoma was overrated at the beginning of the year. It certainly seems that way. Yet, they are still being bet as if they are a top five team. Bob Stoops' team hasn't been well prepared for big games in recent years, and Gary Patterson is one of the best coaches in the country.

Baker Mayfield has made some really poor decisions so far this year, and I see the Horned Frogs forcing some turnovers in this one. The TCU offense still has a lot of speed, and Ohio State showed that this Oklahoma defense can be beaten with speed.

Some trends to note for this one. TCU is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. TCU is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these teams. Oklahoma is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.

Take TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan -10.5

The Wolverines welcome in the Badgers for a crucial Big 10, Top 25 showdown on Saturday afternoon and the Over here has solid value. 

Michigan has played all their games at home this season and have won in convincing fashion in all of them. 

Michigan has had their offense clicking throughout the entire season, scoring at least 45 points in all 4 contests. They'll go up against a defense here that has allowed just 12 points per game, but this will be the most explosive offense the Badgers will have seen up until this point. 

News broke on Thursday that Vince Biegel will be out for the Badgers here. He is a top linebacker in the nation and will miss serious time, leaving the Badgers defense extremely thin.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Look for Michigan to really exploit the missing part of Biegel here in this one, as they roll over the Badgers and grab a signature win.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington Huskies -3

The Huskies welcome in the Stanford Cardinal Friday night for a crucial Pac 12 showdown and the Huskies hold value here laying a field goal at home. 

Washington has kind of flown under the radar a bit as they haven't been exposed to national TV or anything along those lines yet. They've gone 4-0 and have their offense rolling right now. 

QB Jake Browning has been on point throwing for 14 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions. Washington has not made many mistakes this season, which has led to them keeping the momentum throughout the entire game. 

As for Stanford, they will get a look at what is one of the best defenses in the conference. Washington has allowed just 14.5 points per game this and continues to put together game plans that opposing offenses just can't figure out. 

Some trends to note. Huskies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Huskies are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Situationally, this is such a nice spot for Washington. Look for them to feed off the home crowd and use that advantage to spark some big plays and grab a win on Friday night.

Back Washington ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Houston -28.5

The Houston Cougars lost one game last season. A 13-1 season was absolutely awesome, but the one blemish on their record was a 20-17 loss at UConn. That loss came as Houston played without star quarterback Greg Ward Jr. while he recovered from an injury.

The Houston Cougars are often thought of as only a high scoring offense. They do have a great offense, but their defense has been excellent. How good? Houston in first in the nation in yards per carry allowed so far this year. Opponents are gaining only 1.45 yards per rushing attempt against this defense.

UConn is near the bottom of the nation in rushing yards per attempt at 3.3 yards per carry. The Huskies also have a poor passing attack. Put it all together, and I don't see how UConn scores much at all here.

What about Houston? They have Greg Ward Jr. playing in this one, and he has plenty of weapons around him. The Cougars will be plenty motivated to get revenge from last year's one loss. 

A couple trends of note.Houston is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. UConn is 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 road games.

Back Houston ATS. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Arkansas Razorbacks +6

The Razorbacks and Aggies will take to AT&T Stadium for the Southwest Classic and the 18th ranked Razorbacks have value here catching points. 

Arkansas has looked impressive through the first 3 games of the season, one of which includes an overtime win over TCU in Week 2. 

The 3 games also got first year starting QB Austin Allen a lot of work and experience in as he has lived up to the challenge. Allen has 6 touchdowns to his credit this year as he's thrown for 5 of them and rushed another 1. 

As for the Aggies, they have looked good too, but their red zone scoring has been quite the early season concern. Texas A&M has struggled to finish off drives as they have left a lot of points off the board through their first 3 games when getting inside the 20. Look for Arkansas to really dial up the different blitz packages here and make things uneasy for Trevor Knight. 

Some trends to consider. Razorbacks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games. Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.

This is a nice matchup for Arkansas. They matchup well defensively and should be able to really fluster Knight. Offensively, expect them to control the tempo with their run game and take shots down field with Allen.

Back Arkansas ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Oregon -10.5

The Oregon Ducks are being undervalued by the oddsmakers this week. Oregon did lose a couple key players to injury and a tough game last week at Nebraska, but the oddsmakers have overstated how much that means here.

Colorado's Sefo Liufau is invaluable to the team, and he is listed as a gametime decision. If he doesn't play, Oregon gets a big boost. Montez doesn't appear ready for action yet, and it's hard to imagine Colorado keeping up with Oregon if Liufau is out.

Even if Liufau plays and is less than 100 percent, this line is too short. The Ducks still have more overall team speed, and Colorado's defense has gotten too much credit. While the Buffaloes are definitely better this year, it is important to note that they have played some weak competition outside of Michigan.

Oregon is in a good spot to bounce back from last week's difficult loss here.

A couple trends of note in this game. Oregon is 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning record. The Buffaloes are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against Oregon.

Take Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

TCU -21

The Horned Frogs head into SMU on Friday night and laying the points here is the way to go. 

SMU is 2-1 on the season with slim wins over North Texas and Liberty. Their lone loss came to Big 12 opponent Baylor, who simply ran them out of the stadium. 

This game has a similar feel to it as TCU runs the same style of offense as Baylor does. The Horned Frogs have averaged 46 points per game and have put up well over 500 yards per game. Going up against an SMU defense that isn't strong, nor fast, is going to give these receivers plenty of open looks down field. 

Offensively for the Mustangs, they simply cannot keep up here. They have scored just 25 points per game and that is a bit of skewed number thanks to their 34 point game against a weak UNT defense. 

Some trends to note. Horned Frogs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Horned Frogs are 12-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

TCU is going to run circles around SMU. Expect a very lopsided game here.

Back TCU ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Georgia Tech +10

The Yellow Jackets welcome in the Clemson Tigers on Thursday night and the Tigers are on upset alert here. 

This for one, is a look ahead spot for Clemson. They have a date with Louisville in their next game and coming in here against Georgia Tech is a bit of a trap situation for them. 

Clemson has also looked less than stellar this season. The Tigers have squeaked out wins against Auburn and Troy, as it's been a combination of many things, but lack of offense is the biggest concern. They'll get a defense here that has allowed just 10.3 points per game and only 305 yards per game. 

Offensively, the Yellow Jackets are having no problem scoring. They're opening the playbook a bit more and using the pass game to open the option game on the ground. Thus far, they have averaged 30 points per game. 

Some trends to note. Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.Tigers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games.

Georgia Tech will keep this one close and have their chances to steal it. With that, grabbing the 10 points is a valuable play and worth the move.

Back Georgia Tech ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Michigan State Spartans +8

The Spartans and Fighting Irish get set for prime time on Saturday night and the visitors catching 8 points have value here. 

Give Mark Dantonio an extra week with the bye to draw up a game plan and there is where a majority of the value comes from. Dantonio is one of the best coaches in football and has proven in the past that give him time and he can come up with a game plan to beat anyone. 

We really haven't gotten to see what Michigan State truly has yet, but we know how this Notre Dame team plays. While they did get to Nevada pretty good, it wasn't anything overpowering. It was more of the fact that Nevada just isn't that good. 

Expect Michigan State to have some play action plays and over the top balls here as they know that getting the crowd out of this is crucial. 

Some trends to note. Spartans are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game. Spartans are 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 road games.

Michigan State is going to give Notre Dame everything they have here. Expect the Spartans to always be close with plenty of chances to pull a play or two off and steal this game on the road.

Back Michigan State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -11

The Alabama Crimson Tide are in a very rare double revenge spot here. Alabama is almost never in a revenge spot, let alone being in a double revenge spot. Expect Nick Saban's team to be ready to play here.

I loved Nick Saban's intensity after last week's 28 point win over Western Kentucky. Saban was ticked at how the team play and he was setting the team up for this weekend's game. This is a veteran coach who knows how to push the right buttons to get the most out of his guys.

Remember, Alabama had 29 first downs and Ole Miss only had 16 last year. The Crimson Tide were minus five on turnovers in that game.

Chad Kelly has been very inconsistent in big games throughout his career. Kelly makes questionable decisions far too often for my liking, and he'll be going up against a tremendous Alabama secondary.

Ole Miss is down from a year ago, and Alabama is ultra motivated. It's a winning combination.

A couple trends of note here. The Crimson Tide are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. The road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings of these two teams.

Take Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Baylor Bears -31

The Bears head into Rice on Friday night and laying the big number is the way to go here. 

Baylor is simply stronger, faster, and just flat out better than this Rice team. 

Rice has been horrific offensively, sitting at 119th in the nation in total offense. They average just 290 yards per game and only 14.0 points per contest. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against a team that has averaged 48 points per game this season, which includes them benching their starters in the 2nd half of both games. 

Baylor will use plenty of tempo here, something Rice cannot keep up with. QB Seth Russell has been fantastic hitting the deep ball down field, as he's tossed for 6 touchdowns on 40 of 67 passing.

Some trends to note. Over is 49-23-2 in Bears last 74 games overall. Over is 6-2 in Owls last 8 games in September.

Expect Baylor to simply outrun Rice in this one. They'll score in bunches, which is something Rice won't be able to keep up with.

Back Baylor ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Kentucky +16.5

The Wildcats head into Florida on Saturday and this is quite the spread here. 

Florida is by no means a powerhouse and them laying this many points is a lot. The Gators handled Massachusetts in Week 1, but it wasn't an overpowering performance. UMass stayed within somewhat striking distance all afternoon long, not allowing the Gators to get any sort of big play. 

Kentucky had a baffling defeat against a very good Southern Miss team. They held a 35-10 lead, but somehow managed to blow it in the 2nd half. Still, the Wildcats looked good in the early portion of the game, showing they have the offense and even defense to compete. 

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

Florida has to prove they can lay this many points. Given how Kentucky looked early last week, they should be able to keep this one close. 

Back Kentucky ATS. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Pittsburgh -5.5

The Pittsburgh Panthers host Penn State Nittany Lions here, and I like their chances of winning and covering against their intrastate rival. This is only the second meeting since 2000, and the Panthers were shut out in the last game. They should be ready for this contest.

Pat Narduzzi's team knows their strengths, and that gives them an edge here. Pittsburgh is all about running the football and playing strong defense. Narduzzi is an excellent defensive mind, and I have always loved the progress his teams have made over time. Pitt should be even better defensively this year than they were a year ago.

Penn State is implementing a new style of offense. The Nittany Lions really struggled with Kent State last week. Things will get much tougher this week in a hostile environment. The Nittany Lions no longer have a dominating defense to lean on either.

This is Pittsburgh's chance to beat up the "bigger" named school in the state. I think they'll take advantage of it.

A couple trends of note. Penn State is 2-13-2 ATS in their last 17 road games. The Nittany Lions are also 0-5 in their last 5 games overall.

Take Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Syracuse +14.5

Syracuse and Louisville headline the Friday night slate for College Football and the Orange, at home, plus the points are solid value. 

The public saw what Louisville did last week and while it was obviously impressive, people are overlooking the fact that it was against Charlotte. 

This has the potential to be a bit of a trap spot. It's a quick turnaround with the Friday night game and Syracuse is much improved this season. They handled their Week 1 game well, granted it was Colgate, but they still have a very impressive defense. Knowing what Lamar Jackson can do, expect the Orange to really stack the box. 

Some trends to note Orange are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September. Orange are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Syracuse returns their top 5 tacklers from 2015. Their defense is no pushover and with the public likely all over Louisville, this is a nice spot for Syracuse with the points.

Back Syracuse ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Florida State -6

Monday night features a game with a lot of implications on the line. The Seminoles hold solid value here laying the points against Ole Miss. 

The game will have a feel of a home game for the Noles, as it's being played in Orlando. 

There is plenty offensive talent from both sides here, but Florida State's offensive line is going to be where the value comes from. RB Dalvin Cook is arguably the best back in the nation and with experienced line he has in front of him, Florida State may have the ability to run wild here. 

On the Rebels side of things, they return one of the best QBs in the SEC, but they lost a lot out wide. QB Chad Kelly will have to use an inexperienced receiving core that will be going up against a solid secondary. If they can't get anything going early, look for these corners to play right up on the young receiving bunch, flustering Kelly and company all night. 

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

With this game being so close to Florida State, they'll have a significant advantage here. Given that along with the weapons the Rebels lost aside from Kelly, there is just too much for Ole Miss to over come here. 

Back Florida State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 9* CFB ATS Play

Kent State Golden Flashes +21.5

The Golden Flashes and Nittany Lions get set to open their season on Saturday and Kent State with over 3 touchdowns here has value. 

Golden Flashes head coach Paul Haynes is in a very big season. It's pretty much make or break for him in terms of seeing improvements and results.

Kent State announced that freshman Justin Agner will be the starter for this game and that actually isn't a bad thing. The Kent offense was one of the worst in the nation last season and giving the nod to Agner is probably the best option for them to get a fresh start. 

Penn State will also have an inexperienced QB calling the plays here. After Christian Hackenberg went to the NFL, the Nittany Lions announced that Trace McSorley, who is in his sophomore season, will be the starter. 

Kent State's defense was actually one of the better ones in the nation, as they ranked 27th in yards against. With a new QB for the Nittany Lions, expect them to be very conservative here which will play in favor to Kent State.

Some trends to note. Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Nittany Lions are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

This is just too many points to lay here with Penn State. Kent State's defense isn't a pushover by any means and with them getting a new QB and a conservative offense, the Golden Flashes should be able to keep this within 3 touchdowns.

Back Kent State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

UCLA +3.5

The UCLA Bruins are catching 3.5 points after a big line move in Texas A&M's favor in this one. Getting more than a field goal is plenty for us to back the Bruins here.

UCLA does have to replace a lot on offense, but the Bruins have a terrific quarterback in Josh Rosen. Rosen should be great in the new pro style offense that will allow him to throw the ball down the field more often. This is a guy who showed a ton of promise as a freshman, and he should keep getting better.

The most important factor though is likely the UCLA defense. The Bruins defense will be very good this season. UCLA returns nine starters on the defensive side of the ball. They gave up only 26 points per game last year despite a rash of injuries. Texas A&M likes to throw the ball a lot, and this UCLA secondary is excellent.

Texas A&M had offseason issues that were distracting, while UCLA appears set for a nice season. In a game that should be close all the way, we'll grab the underdog.

A couple trends here. The Bruins are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. the SEC. Texas A&M is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Take UCLA.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Western Michigan Broncos +5.5

The Broncos get set to take on Northwestern Saturday afternoon and the MAC powerhouse holds value plus the points. 

Western Michigan's offense is far more consistent and talented than the Wildcats. The Broncos return almost all their offensive starters, including star QB Zack Terrell. 

Terrell threw for 3522 yards last season while completing 67% of his passes. He also had 29 touchdowns to his name, while impressively he threw just 9 interceptions. Terrell rarely forced the issue and never killed any drives with costly turnovers. 

To add to the group, RB Jamauri Bogan returns after a stellar season. Along side Terrell, Bogan finished with 1051 yards and 16 TDS. With how good Terrell was, his pass game opened a lot of holes for Bogan. 

On the flip side of things, the Wildcats offense was among one of the worst last season. They once again enter the season with a lot of questions and don't have enough here to keep up with the Broncos scoring. 

Some trends to note. Broncos are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Broncos are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games overall.

The Broncos have been good in non conference games. Combine that with how much of an offensive gap there is here and the Broncos will have a really good shot at stealing this one outright.

Back Western Michigan ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Alabama Crimson Tide ATS

Alabama and Clemson meet in the BCS Title Game Monday night and Nick Saban and company have a chance to continue their dominance in the CFB world and grab another National Title. They lay 6.5 points here against the #1 team in the nation, but unfinished business is on their mind, which gives them value here. 

Alabama fell early this season to Ole Miss, but that didn't phase them. They rattled off 11 straight wins, including wins over Florida in the SEC Title game and Michigan State in the BCS Semi Final. They made the Big Ten Champions look absolutely foolish in the Semi Final as they rattled off 38 points and barely let Michigan State get past the line of scrimmage. 

When it comes to unfinished business, the Crimson Tide were upset by Ohio State in last year's Semi Final and to the shock of the entire nation, went home early. Nick Saban and his troops were essentially written off after the loss to Ole Miss. He rallied them and dominated opponent after opponent en route to this position. 

Clemson will clearly be no pushover whatsoever, however their defense doesn't match up well against this Crimson Tide offense. The Tide will use Henry to wear them down and eventually the gaps will open up. 

With that, the Crimson Tide have business to finish. Expect the case to be closed as they win this one and cover the number. 

Back Alabama ATS. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 7* National Championship ATS Play

Kansas State ATS

The Wildcats and Razorbacks go at it in the Autozone Liberty Bowl and Kansas State catches a lot of points here, making them valuable. 

First off, if you give Bill Snyder more than a month to prepare, he's going to come up with a winning game plan. Snyder has been around the block plenty of times, he knows what to expect and what to pull off. Look for Kansas State to have a solid game plan that will wear down the Razorbacks. 

There has been talk about who will start for Kansas State and it's still unclear on game day. That's not a problem though. They have two QBs who have the ability to make plays and are very explosive. Joe Hubener and Kody Cook offer two very different styles. Hubener is a slow it down kind of QB and Cook is fast paced. Again, who knows what to expect out of Bill Snyder, he may find a way to use both in this situation. 

Arkansas will try to win this game on the ground, as they've done all year, but this plays right into the hands of Kansas State. Look for K State to stack the box continuously and have many different blitz packages. 

Kansas State will keep this close and even have a chance to win this one outright here.

Back Kansas State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Ole Miss -8.5

The Ole Miss Rebels should be extremely motivated after last year's 42-3 debacle in their bowl game against TCU. This team knows they can't afford to have that kind of performance again, and they have a big talent advantage over the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Ole Miss has a big edge on defense. The Oklahoma State defense has routinely been torched by every single quality offense they have played this year. Ole Miss is strong in the front seven, and they should be able to slow the Cowboys down enough to pull away in this one.

Oklahoma State played a really easy schedule early in the year, and then when they played the tough teams on their schedule, the Cowboys fell hard at the end of the year.

Ole Miss has shown their best football is pretty special.

I think we'll see them at their best again for the Sugar Bowl.

Take Ole Miss -8.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 6* NCAAF ATS Bowl Game Play

Michigan Wolverines ATS

The Citrus Bowl features two first year head coaches that have turned programs around here in 2015-2016. The Wolverines have a significant edge here against the Gators, giving them a lot of value on New Years Day.

Both defenses are phenomenal there's no question about that. Michigan's though has been more dominant, with the exception of the Ohio State game. The Wolverines rank 14th in the nation as they hold the opposition to just 17.2 points and 281.3 yards per game. Harbaugh loves to bring pressure and they will certainly stack the box here against one of the worst offenses in the nation.

This is section of the game where Michigan holds the most advantage. Florida's offense is horrible. QB Treon Harris had under 200 yards passing in the final 3 games of the season. He's been inconsistent the whole season and has not been able to find any receivers deep down field. He tends to get happy feet in the pocket, causing him to roll and really have no answer for opposing defenses.

He'll be without one of his weapons out wide, making things even harder on this Gators offense as Brandon Powell continues to battle a foot injury.

It's also worth noting that Michigan wins when they're favorite. Over their last 10 games as favorites, the Wolverines are a stellar 9-1 SU. Laying this small number here will certainly factor in as if they win, they'll cover.

Look for the Gators offense to struggle all afternoon long and Michigan grabbing a win here as they force Florida into some turnovers setting them up with great field position.

Back Michigan ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play.

Houston Cougars ATS

The Cougars and Greg Ward Jr. get set to take on the Florida State Seminoles in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and they hold tremendous value here as they have a very good chance to win this one outright.

Houston is a much different team with Ward in the backfield. Their lone loss came to the Huskies with their backup in after Ward went down with an injury. Greg Ward may be the most dangerous dual threat QB in the nation as he has racked up 16 touchdowns through the air and 19 on the ground.

RB Kenneth Farrow and QB Greg Ward Jr. are one of the most explosive back fields as well. Farrow has ran himself for 949 yards and added 12 touchdowns. Look for them to really work that read option and even use that to get some play action in there.

Florida State also has some turmoil themselves. QB Everett Golson did not make the trip to Atlanta with the team. Golson was benched about half way through the season, but this leaves a giant question mark with what will happen if injuries starting piling up.

Houston looks to cap off a 13 win season here and grab some national respect. Some people believe they don't deserve this game, but they'll
show otherwise here.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Memphis Tigers ATS

The Tigers and their prized QB in Paxton Lynch take on SEC foe Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl Wednesday afternoon. Auburn certainly had one of the most disappointing seasons while Memphis comes in extremely motivated to grab their 10th win on the season.

Memphis' Paxton Lynch will be playing his final game in a Tigers uniform and will also be showcasing his potential top pick skills one last time. Lynch has thrown for 3670 yards and has 28 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions. Lynch has been able to pick apart opponents secondaries all season long and will be going up against a defense that allows 34.0 points against away from home. 

Memphis also has one of the most dangerous offenses in the entire nation. The Tigers averaged 510.4 yards per game to go along with their ridiculous 42.7 points per game. 

On the Auburn side of things, this season has been a complete disappointment. Auburn was projected to be one of the top teams in the nation, but struggled all season long with their young core and haven't been able to compete with the top teams on their schedule. It's still unclear whether or not freshman Sean White will return or not for this bowl game. If he doesn't this Auburn team will certainly continue their struggles. 

Look for Lynch to pick apart the Auburn secondary in this one. Grabbing points on a team that can win outright is a nice spot here.

Back Memphis ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina ATS

The Tar Heels take on an injured Baylor Bears team as they search for their school record 12th victory this season. North Carolina was extremely successful after winning their division in the ACC and falling just short against the top team in the nation in Clemson in the conference championship game. 

Baylor limps into this one losing 3 of their last 4 and saw many key players go down with injuries. They have had 4 different QBs take snaps this season for them and Jarrett Stidham, who broke his ankle, is not expected to be ready for this one. Also out for Baylor will be their top receiver in Corey Coleman. The WR led the nation with 20 touchdowns, but has been battling a sports hernia. RB Shock Linwood is also out for the Baylor Bears. They will be without every single main part of their offense in this game. 

On the UNC side of things, they are completely healthy and have a senior leader in Marquise Williams who is looking to finish his successful career at North Carolina with a victory. Williams has accumulated more than 10000 yards and has been responsible for 94 touchdowns in his career at North Carolina. 

The Bears are just completely out of it in terms of their injuries. They'll have a major struggle finding offensive firepower and finding the end zone in this one. Lay the small number. 

Back North Carolina ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play

Nebraska +7

 In bowl season, you have to look at motivation. Does a team want to be here or not? Why would UCLA be excited to be in the Foster Farms Bowl? The Bruins had extremely high goals for this season, and were considered a top ten team for quite a while this year.

UCLA does have the more talented team here, but they have proven they are more than capable of slipping up when they aren't motivated. They have been upset as big favorites multiple times in the past two years. They nearly lost to Colorado at home this year. 

Nebraska is 5-7, but they are far better than that record would indicate. This is a team that has been in every single game this year, and they should be right in the thick of this one as well. With their improved offense, I think they have a real shot at an outright upset. Still, grabbing the touchdown is the best way to go here.

Take Nebraska.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Washington -8.5

The Washington Huskies have really impressed me this year. This team is way ahead of schedule right now. Chris Petersen is a tremendous football coach. This Washington team lost so much talent from last year, and they were expected to be a 4 win team or so this year, and instead they have been very strong in a tough conference. 

The Huskies have a much brighter future ahead, and Petersen will have this team contending for the Pac 12 North crown before too long. In this one, Washington goes up against a Southern Miss team that has been a good ATS play this year, but I look for that to end here.

Southern Miss relies heavily on the passing game, but I don't think they have faced a pass rush that will bother them as much as Washington's will here. The Huskies defense is excellent, and Washington's offense has made great strides down the stretch. This game is a mismatch.

Take Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play

Washington State -2.5

The Washington State Cougars have had a very impressive season. After losing to Portland State early in the season, nearly everyone wrote this team off. They went on to go 8-4 straight up and 9-3 ATS this year. 

Mike Leach has an amazing quarterback for his system now. Luke Falk is a tall quarterback who gets rid of the ball quickly and makes great decisions. Falk was banged up late in the year, but he has had the time to get healthy before this game. He'll throw it around a lot here, and Miami is short-handed in the secondary.

While I believe I know what I'll get from Washington State, there is no telling which Miami Hurricanes team will show up, and that's not the type of team I'm going to put my money on. Miami hasn't faced this type of offense this year, and I don't think they'll fare well against it. 

Take Washington State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NCAAF ATS Play

Marshall ATS

The Marshall Thundering Herd get set to take on the Connecticut Huskies Saturday morning and hold a lot of value in this matchup. 

Connecticut just simply doesn't have enough offense to battle here. The Huskies are averaging just 17.8 points per game and have zero explosive threats that have big play ability. Marshall on the other hand is scoring 32.6 points per game and has a solid balanced attack. 

Marshall also has the experience on their side in terms of bowl games. The Thundering Herd will be looking for their third bowl win in as many seasons. The Huskies will be making their first bowl appearance since 2010 when they were knocked around by the Sooners. Marshall has dealt with the pressure of bowl season and won't have any nerves come Saturday. 

Marshall's defense is just as good as their offense. They allowed a mere 18.4 points per game this season and just 373.3 yards against per game. This matchup is perfect for them as Connecticut has no down field threats, which means they can stack the box and put a lot of pressure on the Huskies backfield. 

This matchup is a clear mismatch. Expect Marshall to have a dominating performance here.

Back Marshall ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Bowling Green ATS

The Falcons bring in one of the best passing offenses in the nation into the Godaddy Bowl as they get set to take on Georgia Southern. 

Bowling Green averaged 561 yards PER GAME on offense, which led them to 43.4 points per game on the season. Bowling was also one of the best ATS as they finished 10-3. 

QB Matt Johnson leads a Falcons offense that completed 368 of 535 passes for 43 touchdowns this season. Johnson also only threw for 8 interceptions, which is very impressive considering the amount of passes he throws. 

This impressive Bowling Green offense has so many weapons too out wide. WR Roger Lewis is Johnson's main target with 82 receptions and 1476 yards. Johnson also has WR Ryan Burbrink and Ronnie Moore to work with. With so many targets, it makes live so difficult on opposing defenses. 

In regards to Georgia Southern, this is the first bowl appearance they will have in school history as they are finally bowl eligible after jumping from Division 1-AA. This is a rather unique situation for them as they are going to be very inexperienced and outmatched here. With them having to deal with one of the best passing offenses in the nation, look out. 

Bowling Green should have no problem here picking apart the Georgia Southern secondary en route to a very lopsided win for the Falcons.

Back Bowling Green ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Utah State -6.5

The Utah State Aggies got star quarterback Chuckie Keeton back a couple games ago. He has had a lot of time to prepare for this one and get fully healthy, and that's key.

Keeton has been banged up throughout the course of his career, but he is an ultra-talented guy who can carry his team at times. Utah State is accustomed to being in these bowl games as well, while Akron is new to the party. That experience can mean a lot this time of the year.

While Akron is clearly an improved team compared to a couple years ago, it is important to point out that the MAC East is a bad conference this year. Akron did not beat anyone good this year, and the Zips were blown out by the best opponents they played.

Akron's offense isn't good at all, and it's hard to imagine them keeping up in this one. Utah State is looking for their fourth straight bowl win. Lay the points here.

Take Utah State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Georgia State ATS

Georgia State meets with San Jose State in the Autonation Care Bowl and they deserve much more credit than the line indicates here. 

Bowl games are all about teams that are motivated and that come in hot. The Panthers only won one game in the past two previous seasons. This season, the Panthers rattled off 4 straight wins to finish the season off and become bowl eligible. 

With that, the motivation level here is extremely high. 

Georgia State has one of the best passing offenses in the nation. QB Nick Arbuckle leads an offense that passes for 346.7 yards per game. Arbuckle was the main reasoning behind the 4 game winning streak as he threw for 10 touchdowns and 1496 yards during their 4 game winning streak. 

The defense has even stepped their game up. After being one of the worst during the Panthers 1-4 start, they've held firm and are now allowing just 21 points per game since then. 

Don't sleep on this Georgia State team here. They are ecstatic to be here and will have all the motivation to finish the season off with 5 straight wins.

Back Georgia State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina ATS

The Tar Heels have been waiting for their chance to get at #1 Clemson and they finally get their chance in the ACC Championship Game. The Tar Heels can cause a major shakeup in the BCS Playoff with a win and will even get themselves a chance to crash the party with a win. 

This UNC team is no pushover whatsoever. North Carolina leads the ACC with 41.2 points per game and have such a solid duo in QB Marquise Williams and RB Elijah Hood. Williams has thrown for 18 touchdowns this season while Hood has rushed for 1280 yards and 16 touchdowns. North Carolina has the ability to use play action a lot and both Williams and Hood have the breakaway speed to turn nothing into something. 

The Tar Heels defense isn't all that bad either. They have allowed just 20.8 points per game this season.

With the way the BCS Playoff situation is, UNC not only needs a win, but they made need a convincing win here. They would have to jump a compliment of teams , so impressing the committee is a must. 

Back North Carolina ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Houston Cougars ATS.

The Cougars get home field advantage for the AAC Title game and a lot is on the line when they welcome in Temple on Saturday. The winner has a very good shot at either finding themselves in the Peach Bowl or Fiesta Bowl this year. With Cougars QB Greg Ward Jr. back and healthy, this Cougars team laying just 5.5 is a nice play.

Houston is a completely different team with Ward Jr. in the backfield and we have seen that this season. Houston's lone loss came to Uconn, when Ward Jr. was OUT. In his return last week against Navy, with the East title on the line, Houston throttled the Midshipman behind Ward Jr. 

Home field advantage plays a major role here too. Houston is 7-0 this season at home and they average 44.9 points per game and concede just 23.0. 

Temple's defense will have their hands completely full with the dual threat ability of Greg Ward Jr. He's thrown for 16 touchdowns and rushed for 17 on the season. 

Houston leads the all time series 4-0. 

Laying just a low number here with home field advantage and frankly the way better team, Houston is a solid value play here.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Bowling Green ATS

The Bowling Green Falcons meet the Northern Illinois Huskies in the MAC Championship for the 3rd straight season and there is a clear cut mis match here. 

Looking at Northern Illinois first, they have a list full of injuries to deal with. From running backs to quarterbacks, you name it, he's injured. They run in to a giant problem with the QB position here. Already on their backup, QB Ryan Graham went down with an undisclosed injury in the season finale against Ohio. That gave way to another freshman, Tommy Fiedler. It's unclear who will start, but if Graham cannot go, things will be extremely tough throwing Fiedler into the gauntlet here. 

As for Bowling Green, their offense is just rolling. QB Matt Johnson leads the 3rd ranked offense in the nation with 566.0 yards per game. 

Scoring is not a problem for BG either. They are averring 44.2 points per game this season and have consistently used the deep ball to pick apart secondaries. 

With all the problems NIU has in terms of injuries offensively, they will certainly struggle to move the ball here. That doesn't bode well as they will likely need to score in the high 30s or 40s to keep up with Bowling Green here.

Back Bowling Green ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

San Diego State -17

The San Diego State Aztecs are one of the most improved teams in the nation from the beginning of the year to now. That tells you that Rocky Long is a very good coach, and that has shown over the years as well.

San Diego State's running game has gotten going with Donnell Pumphrey. They aren't getting great quarterback play, but Smith is taking care of the football, and that's really all they need from him. The offensive line is good and the special teams are very good also.

The standout unit for the Aztecs though is the defense. San Diego State's 3-3-5 defense is so tough to attack. Since this is such a unique scheme, the Aztecs are a really tough defense to prepare for.

Nevada is nothing more than an ordinary team this year. San Diego State is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games. Look for an eighth straight cover here.

Take San Diego State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Florida State ATS

The annual rivalry heads into Gainesville, Florida and Florida State lays a low number here given the circumstances. 

Florida comes in after nearly losing to Florida Atlantic at home last week in their final non conference clash of the season. The Gators offense has been absolutely brutal all season long and doesn't have much of a chance to keep up in the scoring department here on Saturday. 

Florida has came up with just 20 points against FAU, 24 against South Carolina, and only a mere 9 against Vandy.

The Seminoles come in having dominated this series in the past seasons too. Florida State has won 4 of the last 5 meetings. 

With QB Sean Maguire taking over as the play caller for Florida State, this offense has put up some impressive numbers themselves. Maguire has completed 65% of his passes and thrown for 7 touchdowns over the past 4 games. 

If Florida State can get out to an early lead, this Gators offense isn't made for comeback material. Expect the Seminoles to go into Gainesville and grab a win by a couple touchdowns.

Back Florida State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina ATS

The Tar Heels head into Carter Finley Stadium to take on the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday. Given the Tar Heels have been one of the best teams in the nation this season, laying the 3.5 against a much weaker opponent is a valuable play. 

North Carolina has been dominant on both sides of the ball. They are averaging 40.9 points per game and allowing only 19.5. 

Led by dual threat QB Marquise Williams, UNC has such a threatening offense. He'll be going up against a defense that concedes over 3 touchdowns a game, which bodes well for him as he's thrown for 17 and rushed for another 10. 

Ball security has also been a very crucial success point for the Tar Hells. UNC has a +11 turnover margin and have not seen one of their tailbacks fumble the ball this season. 

North Carolina has also been solid ATS. They are 7-4 through their 11 games this season.

With that, we should see one team simply overpower the other here. North Carolina is just too good and at this number, passing up on them would be foolish. 

Back North Carolina ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Iowa ATS 

The Hawkeyes head into upset minded Nebraska on Friday for their annual rivalry game the day after Thanksgiving. Iowa has jumped into the 4th spot in the CFB rankings and with wins over Nebraska and in the Big 10 Title opponent, the Hawkeyes should find themselves in the College Playoff.

With a line this low, Iowa has tremendous value with them. 

Iowa's offense is clicking on every single cylinder right now. They've scored at least 30 points in 5 straight conference games and do it by simply wearing their opponents down. The Hawkeyes run game has produced 33 touchdowns this season. Iowa is scoring 34.2 points per game on the season.

Their defense is just as stellar as their offense. The Hawkeyes allow just 18.5 points per game and are tied in the Big 10 in terms of rushing touchdowns allowed. They have given up just 7 to the opposition over their 11 game played. 

The Hawkeyes also come in playing the revenge factor within this rivalry. Iowa has dropped 3 in a row in this series and saw Nebraska come back from down 17 last season. 

This is definitely the season for Iowa to get a little payback on Nebraska. They're playing extremely well and have a chance at a Playoff berth.

Back Iowa ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
