Denver +4.5

Denver is in a wake up call moment here on Sunday. 

The Broncos did some housekeeping this past week, after things went south real quick for them. A new offensive coordinator will be calling the shots here, as Paxton Lynch will make his first start of the season. 

Denver has been extremely dissapointing this season and the changes come at a solid time as something had to be done. This is a very nice spot for them to right the ship as Oakland is a nice fade.

The Raiders come in just 3-6-1 ATS on the season and are putting up under 3 touchdowns per game.

Oakland has really struggled to get anything going themselves on the season and they in fact are the last win for Denver. Back on Oct. 1, the Broncos defeated Oakland 16-10 in a game where the Raiders had no offensive momentum.

There is value here. The new look Broncos are going to open the playbook here given the situation of a new coordinator and QB. 

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

New York Jets +5.5

The Jets grab points, at home, here on Sunday and have some value. 

New York was expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, but they've grabbed 4 wins already and this team has played above expectations. 

Looking at their home play first, the Jets come in 3-2 SU and are a perfect 5-0 ATS there. It's been the defensive play that has been huge for them. The Jets have given up just 19.2 points per game in New York as their ability to really put pressure on opposing teams in the backfield is a huge part of this team. 

Their ability to also contain QBs is what makes them so good. In particular here, they have the linebacking core to really keep him from using his legs to beat them. 

Some trends to note. Jets are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Jets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games.

This number here is nice on the Jets. 

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Dallas Cowboys +1

The Cowboys are in a nice spot here on Thanksgiving night.

Dallas comes in off a loss to the Eagles on Sunday night, as they completely fell apart in the 2nd half. However, if we see the first half Cowboys come out more consistently, they are poised for a nice run here down the stretch of this season.

Dallas is an offense that feeds off the play of their leaders. It comes down to Dak Prescott and Dez Bryant right now, as the duo has to find a way to step up. Bryant is extremely explosive and it seemed like last week he was a little tentative against this secondary. That won't be the case here as the Chargers have the 22nd ranked defense in the NFL.

This is going to be a game where the Cowboys open things up much more. At just 5-5, they have to win these kinds of games, especially at home.

Some trends to note.  Chargers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.Chargers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up win.

This is a nice spot on the Cowboys. They are far more explosive and this is the kind of game where you'll see Bryant really make himself an impact.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Detroit Lions +3

The Lions catch a key number here to open the Thanksgiving Day slate and this one has value to work with.

Detroit comes in 6-4 and while they aren't even playing at their best right now, the Lions are still poised to make a run at the postseason.

It really starts with Matthew Stafford, who has been the spark to this team really. Stafford has thrown for multiple touchdowns in 3 straight games and in 7 of his last 10 overall. Stafford has tossed in total for 2706 yards and 19 touchdowns this season. It's been an impressive run for him so far and he's really one of those QBs who makes his team better.

They match up well here as the Vikings average just 22.3 points per road game this season. Detroit has the big play making ability, something the Vikings have really lacked this season.

Some trends to note. Lions are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games in November.Lions are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games.

Detroit grabbing points is a nice move here.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Atlanta vs. Seattle Over 46

The Falcons and Seahawks clash on MNF and this Over has value to work with. Both of these offenses have so many threats, which gives them the ability to strike at any time. 

Looking at Atlanta first, the Falcons rank 8th in overall offense in the NFL. They are a balanced attack that can strike on any play either on the ground of through the air. QB Matt Ryan has thrown for 2732 yards this season and has 13 touchdowns to his credit. It certainly helps his cause when you have WR Julio Jones out wide, who is always a down field threat. 

From Seattle's case, Russell Wilson has been a beast at home. He's led the offense to averaging over 4 touchdowns and is averaging 330.3 pass yards per game over the last 4 games. On top of that, he's thrown for 11 touchdowns in that span. This Seattle offense is quick to strike as Pete Carroll is not afraid to pick the tempo up when this offense is in the groove.

Some trends to note.  Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Seattle.

This has been an Over series in the past and with how well both offenses can move the ball quickly, this one makes sense.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL O/U Play

New England -6.5

The Patriots, under a touchdown, always has value to work with. 

New England is just too powerful for this Oakland team to keep up with here in this spot. 

The Patriots continue to be one of the best teams offensively in the NFL, as they're averaging 30 points per game on the road this season. They are a perfect 4-0 entering Sunday, conceding just 16.8 points per game to that 30 they're scoring. 

There are many factors that play into this one, but overall the Raiders just can't keep up. Oakland has struggled on the offensive end this season, as Carr and company haven't lived up to the hype or standards they set last season. 

Some trends to note. Patriots are 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Patriots are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games on grass.

The favorite has gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in this series. Under a touchdown gives New England plenty of value to work with here. 

Back New England.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Cincinnati Bengals +2.5 +100

The Bengals have value here on Sunday afternoon against a Broncos team that simply hasn't done much this season. 

Denver's offense has just been sub par this season as they really haven't had the playcalling capable of keeping up with teams. Denver's offense is compiled of runs up the middle and check downs at best, as that is a recipe for failure in the NFL.

Averaging just 18.4 points per game, the Broncos have dropped 5 straight games overall.

As for the Bengals, this team is in desperate need of a win to stay in contention. The Bengals have been on the end of some unfortunate luck this season and they just haven't been able to completely play a full game, especially as of late. Still, Cincinnati has the weapons, especially AJ Green, to really give Denver fits. 

Some trends to note. Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Bengals are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games on grass.

Cincinnati getting points against a bad team like Denver is always going to be a valuable play.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Minnesota Vikings -2
 
The Minnesota Vikings have gone under the radar this year. At first, people saw Sam Bradford go down and thought the Vikings would struggle to keep pace. That was wrong. In fact, Case Keenum has been better at quarterback than Bradford had been for Minnesota.

The Vikings still have a top five defense in the NFL too. Minnesota has been very good against both the run and the pass all season. The Vikings should be able to get pressure on Goff in this one and make his job a lot more difficult than it has been in most games this year.

This isn't a fade of the Rams, who I believe are a good team. It is simply backing a Vikings team at home that has been underrated all year long. This is a great spot for them to prove something to their doubters.

Minnesota is 21-6 ATS in their last 27 home games. Lay the short price.

Take Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Over 43.5

The Titans and Steelers headline a solid Thursday Night Football matchup and the Over here has value to work with.

Both of these offenses have playmakers, which is certainly good for this total here.

Looking at Tennessee first, it starts with Marcus Mariota. The Titans QB has led them to 4 straight wins and he's really picking things up with his arm. He's tossed for 1783 yards this season and this run game with DeMarco Murray is certainly opening things a lot for him. Murray has ran for 5 touchdowns this year and we've seen a lot of explosive plays from this Tennessee offense so far.

From the Pittsburgh aspect, they have plenty of playmakers. One of the most surprising ones this season has been JuJu Smith-Schuster. He has stepped up to be a huge part of this offense and has just become another huge threat for Roethlisberger and this offense.

Some trends to note. Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Pittsburgh. Over is 5-1-1 in Titans last 7 games in November.

This has been an over series and given the threats on both offenses, this one makes sense.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL O/U Play

Miami Dolphins +9

The Dolphins are worth a move at this kind of number on Monday night. 

The Panthers simply haven't shown enough to lay this many points in a national tv spot. Carolina has been spotty at best, as they've shown some signs of brilliance, but also some signs of struggles. 

This offense is very thin with weapons and it still remains shocked after shipping away their top receiver. 

Miami is also playing fearless at this point. Jay Cutler is working with an open playbook right now, giving him the ability to throw the ball all over the field. Miami has plays a very slow style as well, which should give them an edge here. The Dolphins control the clock and really can sustain drives, keeping the opposing offense off the field. 

Some trends to note. Dolphins are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November. Dolphins are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.

This is a nice spot for Miami here on Monday to give the Panthers all they can handle.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL ATS Play

Dallas Cowboys +3

The Cowboys catch 3 points here and you're going to see quite the fire lit underneath them after all the Elliot drama unfolded.

After the star RB was suspended this past week, the Cowboys will really have to rally now, which means the pressure is on the arm of Dak Prescott and the arms of Dez Bryant. The duo has been notorious over the past season and a half to really make some big plays and now they'll be asked to do a lot more.

Despite Elliot out, this Cowboys team is still extremely talented top to bottom. Dak Prescott has thrown for 16 touchdowns and has continued to turn in solid performance after solid performance.

They have the defense to slow down this Atlanta offense as well. Dallas has given up just 22.2 points per game and found a way to slow down Alex Smith and the Chiefs last week, a huge confidence booster.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in November. Cowboys are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS win.

This number on Dallas is worth the move.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Jacksonville -3.5

The Jags lay a small number here, which is valuable given the significant edge they have in this spot.

Jacksonville will get a Chargers team traveling across country, for an early start time, something that is never easy for west coast teams.

The Jaguars have been a very surprising team this year top to bottom as they've really played well. They lead the NFL in sacks with 35 and have held the opposition to just 14.6 points per game. This team gives constant pressure every single play and forces opposing offenses, specifically QBs, to really make some quick, bad decisions.

Offensively, they have seen Blake Bortles really take care of the ball. Bortles has thrown just 5 interceptions on the season after being atrocious in the past few years. He's really turned a corner and his rush offenses has helped that, as it's averaging 166.5 yards per game. 

Some trends to note.  Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.Jaguars are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. AFC.

This number makes a lot of sense given how good this Jags team is playing.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Packers vs. Bears Under 38 

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet on Sunday afternoon. This is an epic rivalry where you usually see both teams come well prepared. Neither team is all that good right now, especially on offense. Look for both defenses to have the advantage.

Green Bay's offense looks nothing like it did with Aaron Rodgers. Gone are the explosive plays. Now, we see a bunch of check downs and plays that the defense is well prepared for with Brett Hundley under center. Green Bay's running attack isn't any good either. The offensive line is a mess, and that makes it even more difficult to transition to a backup.

Chicago's offensive game plan is pretty easy to see right now. Trubisky isn't going to take many chances at all. The Bears are going to pound the ball on the ground consistently. That eats up time and the Packers should be ready for the run here.

A low scoring battle between rivals here.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play

Seattle -6

The Seattle Seahawks dominated the game against Washington, but managed to lose thanks to penalties, turnovers, and Blair Walsh missed field goals. That gives us value on the Seahawks in this game though.

Seattle is a perfect 4-0 ATS on Thursday night games with Pete Carroll as their head coach. Carroll does a great job getting his team ready on short rest. Seattle should be well prepared coming off that disappointing loss on Sunday.

Arizona isn't very good with Stanton at quarterback. Running the ball 43 times might work against San Francisco, but it is unlikely to work against Seattle. The Seahawks are going to load up the box and make Stanton beat them. I don't think he can do it.

Wilson is a great quarterback, and he'll make enough big plays for Seattle to get the win and cover.

Take Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Detroit vs. Green Bay Over 43

We should get a chance to see some scoring in this one as MNF heads into Green Bay. 

Both of these teams are just trying to hang around, which should provide us with a bit of a more open playbook game. With Detrot at 3-4 and Green Bay without Rodgers and at 4-3, this is an important one both ways in terms of the direction these two teams are heading. 

Looking at the Lions first, they are not afraid to whip the ball around the field. QB Matthew Stafford leads the 12th best offense in the NFL, as he’s lead the Lions to 242.1 pass yards through the air. They aren’t shy about going for the big play at all, which helps out this Over here.

Green Bay still has the playmakers even with out Rodgers. With a pool of receivers outside to choose from, Green Bay has still managed to find some consistent offense. 

Where both these teams lack is on the defensive end. The Packers rank 20th in points allowed, while the Lions sit 25th. Both defenses are certainly vulnerable to the big play. 

Given this, we have the potential for quite the showdown. Look for both offenses to move the ball with some tempo and rhythm, opening this game up early.

Back Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL O/U Play

Miami Dolphins +3

The Miami Dolphins lost 40-0 last week. It would be easy to say "well let's take the easy money and go against them here." That's what the public is doing here. We're going to go against the public and take Miami.

Historically, NFL teams bounce back quickly from big blowout losses. Miami shouldn't be any different. This isn't a great Miami team, but they should show heart here in a primetime home game against a team that hasn't been very good this year.

Miami clearly has the better defense and they are catching points against a team that hasn't really proven anything this year. What have the Raiders done to prove they should be a road favorite of 3 points against anyone? Their road performances have been very disappointing.

A couple trends here. The Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Raiders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Take Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Dallas PK

The Cowboys are in a nice spot here on Sunday and this is a valuable line.

Dallas was just given word that running back Ezekiel Elliot will be granted stay for Sunday here in this one. That adds a huge impact to this already impressive Dallas offense.

Elliot has been on a different level over the past two games, rushing for 297 yards and four touchdowns. His abilities open a whole new gameplan for this Dallas offense.

It allows Prescott to open the pass game up, which is a very dangerous one considering the weapons he has to work with. WR Dez Bryant has 4 touchdowns on the season, as he is one of the biggest threats throughout the entire NFL. If Elliot gets going early, expect Prescott and Bryant to have a field day as gaps should open up in this secondary.

Some trends to note.  Cowboys are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.Cowboys are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS win.

Dallas is at a nice line here, especially given the status of Zeke.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 10* NFL ATS TOP PLAY Play

Tampa Bay +7

Grabbing a touchdown with the Bucs here is a very nice value play for us.

While the public sees this one as two teams going in opposition directions, situationally this is a very nice spot for Tampa Bay to bounce back and really steal this one.

With this being a divisional game, you always expect teams to get up for it. Tampa Bay is in a situation where they are 2-5 right now. A loss here would pretty much bury their season. However a win puts them right back in the thick of things for the most part. You're going to see Jameis Winston and company really get up for this one.

While Drew Brees and the Saints are on a roll right now themselves, they are still coming off back to back wins that really weren't as easy as they should have been against lesser opponents. Brees also really struggled last season against the Bucs, which should be something in the back of his mind all game.

Some trends to note. Buccaneers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home.Buccaneers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Tampa Bay is going to be one of the most motivated teams this week in the NFL. Their season is essentially on the line here and they matchup well with the Saints.

Back Tampa Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Cincinnati Bengals +5.5

The Bengals catch points here against the Jags on Sunday and have value at this number.

Cincinnati is kind of in that in between right now. They sit at 3-4 and while they're fading in the division standings, they aren't out of it by any means yet. However, this is one of those turning point games where 4-4 looks a whole heck of a lot better than 3-5.

The Jags come into this one struggling at home. They have dropped both games played there and are getting outscored on average 32.0-16.5. Things haven't been pretty for them by any means and they'll get a Bengals team that really controls the tempo of games.

With their trio of RBs to AJ Green out wide, this offense can really frustrate opposing defenses by chewing up clock and sustaining drives. This is not a good matchup for Jacksonville given the amount of weapons the Bengals offense has.

Some trends to note. Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.Bengals are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games on grass.

This is just too many points in this spot here.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Tennessee Titans -3.5

The Tennessee Titans have had plenty of time to get ready for this one. Tennessee is well rested and is healthier than Baltimore right now.

Baltimore is coming off a big win over Miami, but that game was more about Miami self-destructing than it was about Baltimore doing anything right. Baltimore scored 40 points, but their offense didn't get much done.

Joe Flacco has been a big disappointment this year. Flacco has been one of the worst QB's in the NFL. The Titans won't respect the Ravens passing game here, and why should they?

The Titans have a strong tandem of tailbacks that run the ball hard and get stronger as the game goes. Baltimore has gotten worn down on defense in past games on the defensive line, and I think it could happen here.

The Titans have the much more balanced offense and this is a short number.

Take the Titans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Denver vs. Kansas City Under 42.5

MNF heads into Kansas City and here we should see both teams really like to slow things down, which is solid for this Under.

Looking at Denver first, overall their offense is putting up just 18.0 points per game this season. On the road, things are even worse. They are averaging just 8.0 points per road game through a pair of contests, as this offense just doesn't have many deep ball threats, or big, explosive playmakers. Defensively though we get an edge for the Under. The Broncos allow just 19 points per game, one of the better marks in the NFL.

The Chiefs meanwhile are right there defensively. They're giving up under 20 points per home game this season and this team is just playing extremely well overall. Offensively they are much better, but they run a nice balanced attack that really will chew some clock up here in this one.

Some trends to note. Under is 40-18 in Chiefs last 58 home games. Under is 9-4 in Broncos last 13 vs. a team with a winning record.

This one should be very slow paced, as both teams will look to establish the ground game early on.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL O/U Play

Chicago Bears +10

The Bears catch a lot of points here on Sunday and have value against the Saints.

Chicago hasn't played pretty football by any means. However, they continue to find ways to stay in games and even win games. The Bears have put together back to back impressive wins over Baltimore and Carolina, as their run offensive, combined with stellar defense has been a recipe for success.

Defensively, Chicago has been lights out. They turned in a pair of defensive touchdowns last week and overall they rank 7th with 301.3 yards per game. The Bears have been able to get off the field on 3rd downs and really control the line of scrimmage, which has been a huge edge for them consistently.

Here against the Saints, they face a defense that is not only a struggle, but one where their run game should find a lot of gaps in. Chicago averages 126.3 yards per game on the ground, which is 7th best in the NFL. They will be able to control the tempo and keep the Saints and Drew Brees from finding any rhythm with them on the sidelines.

Some trends to note. Bears are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in October.Bears are 7-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Chicago is just getting too many points in this spot.

Back Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

Falcons vs. Jets Under 44.5

The Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets play in New York on Sunday. The Jets have been much better than expected, and the Falcons have been much worse than expected.

Atlanta was supposed to care a lot about that Super Bowl rematch last week. They either didn't care enough, or they just aren't good enough on offense this year. It's clear that Matt Ryan isn't the same quarterback without Shanahan as his offensive coordinator.

The Jets offense is very inconsistent, and overall the Falcons defense has played pretty well this year.

I expect the Jets secondary to be able to limit big plays in this one, especially with rain being called for during this contest.

The Falcons offense has gotten too much respect of late. The Jets offense still lacks weapons.

A couple key trends here. The under is 6-1 in the Jets last 7 following an ATS loss. The under is 6-0 in the Jets last 6 after allowing 30 points or more last game.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Cleveland +9.5

Maybe leaving the country is just what this Browns team needs? They nearly snuck their first win of the season in on Sunday and will now head overseas to take on the Vikings in London on Sunday morning.

Cleveland has had some ridiculous question marks pop up this year and it solely comes from the blame of themselves. The coaching staff to the players has been nothing but a distraction, but getting away is certainly going to be a nice scene for this team.

The Browns played with the Titans throughout on Sunday, as their defense is going to be a key contributor here. Cleveland allowed just 4 field goals in the loss, as they actually rank 9th in total yards, conceding only 304.7 per game. Minnesota's offense certainly isn't going to overpower anyone, which should allow this Browns team to hang around.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games in Week 8.

This is the kind of scene and game Cleveland needs. Look for them to really come out with some inspired play and have a legit shot at this one.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Baltimore -3

The Ravens and Dolphins are pinned on Thursday Night Football and Baltimore has value at this low of a number, at home.

This Baltimore defense is one of the main reasons behind this play. The Ravens are allowing just 21.1 points per game this season, as they are shut down against the pass game. Baltimore has allowed only 189.3 pass yards per game, which ranks 7th in the NFL.

Along with that, the Ravens should have no problem with this Dolphins offense. Miami just has no threat or big play abilities behind them, as they rank 32nd in total offense, putting up just 261 yards per game. This is prime shot for Baltimore to get their mojo back. They are facing a very weak Dolphins team that they can get to early and set the tone for this one.

Some trends to note.  Dolphins are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games on fieldturf. Dolphins are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

Miami has failed to cover the last 7 meetings with the Ravens. Situationally, this is a prime spot for the Ravens laying the small number.

Back Baltimore.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Washington +5

MNF heads to Philadelphia and the Redskins and Eagles battle it out in primetime. Here, the visitors with the points, have the value.

Washington did drop the season opener to this Eagles team, however, they still have the edge head to head in recent meetings. The Redskins had won 5 straight in this series prior to the season opener, as Kirk Cousins typically brings out his best against this defense. The Redskins QB leads the NFC in QBR with a rating of 106.4 and is in the midst of a solid 3 game stretch.

The Eagles secondary is certainly vulnerable, which should open up a lot of routes for these Redskins receivers.

Some trends to note. Redskins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Redskins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss

The Redskins are solid team situationally here. Along with that, they aren't far off of the Eagles, if at all, which gives them a legit shot at this one outright.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL ATS Play

Pittsburgh Steelers -5

AFC North rivals clash as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals go at it on Sunday.

Pittsburgh may finally be 100% back on track after last weeks performance. The Steelers went into KC and had some very timely offensive plays, as well as just solid defense all around in an outright win over the Chiefs.

Pittsburgh has leaned on that defense all season long, as they are giving up just 17 points per game. Total yards wise, they rank 3rd in the NFL, conceding only 272 yards. The Steelers defense has the ability to get off the field on 3rd downs and they continue to get the ball back into the offenses hands and allow them to control the tempo of games.

Le'Veon Bell is starting to find it as well, rushing for 550 yards and 4 touchdowns so far.

The Bengals offense is putting up just 16.8 points per game themselves. Dalton and company just haven't found it yet and that doesn't bode well for them heading into Pittsburgh Sunday.

Some trends to note.  Bengals are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Pittsburgh.Bengals are 7-19-2 ATS in their last 28 meetings.

The Steelers have dominated this series. Given that, they have a lot of value at this number.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 10* NFL ATS TOP PLAY

Green Bay +6

The Packers are without Aaron Rodgers and will now have to find some sort player or players to step up here going forward.

Don't count this team out though. They are talented on both sides of the ball and should be able to weather the storm somewhat with Rodgers out.

Receiving wise, they are deep. It starts with Jordy Nelson and runs through Randall Cobb and Devante Adams. This receiving corp will offer a lot of support to Brett Hundley, who was grabbed by this Packers for this specific reason. He's a dependable backup with a lot of upside.

This is also a fade New Orleans play too. Their defense is very sketchy and situationally, teams have not performed well in their spot. Teams off a 3 game winning streak against a winning team unrested have gone 77-126 ATS.

Some other trends to note. Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in Week 7.Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Don't sleep on this Packers team this week. They still have a lot of talent and with how bad this New Orleans defense is, they have a legit shot here.

Back Green Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Miami Dolphins -3
 
The New York Jets were expected to be terrible this year. They have been better than expected, but I still believe the Jets are going to prove to be one of the worst in the NFL.

New York is in a bad spot here. The Jets fought their tails off last week to compete with New England and came up a little short. Additionally, New York thumped Miami in the first meeting this season. Miami is in a good revenge spot here.

The Dolphins have a good running game, and I think they'll be able to use that to get the edge on Sunday afternoon. Jay Cutler doesn't have to do a lot here to win this one and cover. He just needs to manage the game.

A couple trends of note. The Jets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning home record. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two.

Take Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

Chiefs vs. Raiders Over 46

The Kansas City Chiefs offense isn't the same as it has been in past years. Kansas City isn't going to just check down at every opportunity. They did that last week a little too much against a very good Steelers defense, but things should be different against a weak Raiders defense here.

Kansas City leads the NFL in yards per play at 6.4. The Chiefs are playing against an Oakland defense that gives up a lot of big plays. Oakland is allowing 5.6 yards per play which ranks among the five worst in the NFL.

Derek Carr is healing up, and this Kansas City defense has been disappointing this year. The Chiefs certainly miss Berry in the secondary. If Kansas City doesn't get quick pressure here, I think the Raiders have the weapons needed to get open in space on the outside.

A close high scoring game.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL O/U Play

Colts vs. Titans Under 48

Indianapolis and Tennessee clash on Monday Night Football and the Under has value here to work with.

Neither offense has been able to get the ball rolling this season and that stems from their respective star QBs battling injuries.

Andrew Luck will remain out and Marcus Mariota remains in question as he continues to battle a hamstring injury. That could leave this primetime matchup in the hands of a pair of backup QBs, which means we should see plenty of the running game throughout from both sides.

Both Frank Gore and DeMarco Murray have been a huge part of these two offenses early on this season, as both have carried the workload. Expect them to have that here, as both will look to establish a ground game and keep that clock moving.

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in Titans last 5 games following a ATS loss. Under is 6-1 in Colts last 7 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.

Neither team is averaging a lot of points here this season. Look for minimal chances here on Monday.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NFL O/U Play

New York Giants +13

The Giants grab a lot of points here and this is a nice spot for them to really cause some frustrations for the Broncos. 

New York has been in turmoil all season long. Things have gone from bad to worse, but here, this is a lot of points to give Eli Manning. 

With the style the Giants play, Eli Manning is likely going to whip the ball all over the field here and take plenty of chances down field. It's also not like they've been blown out either in games. They've lost the 3 games by a combined 10 points total. 

Denver's offense also isn't built to blow teams out either. The offense is very methodical and moves the ball with a slow tempo. Laying this many points with a team like this isn't the most ideal spot. 

Some trends to note. Giants are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. Giants are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games in October.

This is just too many points situationally.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play

Baltimore -6.5

The Ravens and Bears go at it on Sunday and here the home side laying the points has value.

Chicago is just a mess right now. After switching QBs, things became a bit of a struggle on Monday Night Football against Minnesota.

Mitch Trubisky showed very little glimpses of hope in his first start, as the Bears offense had zero momentum from the start. That certainly doesn't bode well for them given Ravens and their 9th best pass defense in the NFL.

On top of that, Baltimore's offense will just wear you out with the run game. They rank 6th, averaging 130.4 rush yards per game. They'll take on a Bears defense that gives up over 100 rush yards per game.

Some trends to note. Ravens are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.Ravens are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Baltimore is just the flat out better team here.

Look for them to wear out the Bears in this one.

Back Baltimore.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

New England -9

New England heads into New York and we have just a complete mismatch here in this one.

The Patriots have always had the Jets number as Tom Brady has been unstoppable in head to head meetings. New England's star QB has gone for 26 touchdowns while throwing for just 4 interceptions over the last 13 meetings.

New England will really look to use this gain to get their momentum back. It's been an up and down start to the season and despite a win last week, they haven't looked like the lockdown team they've been in the past.

Brady has thrown for over 1700 yards thus far and this Jets team has allowed 21.2 points per game this season. We should see New England's offense move with rather ease here.

Some trends to note.  Patriots are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games.Patriots are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.

This number is just too low in this situation.

Back New England.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Washington -11
 
The Washington Redskins have been excellent this year. They come into this one well rested and their injury list is short. Kirk Cousins struggled in game one, but I've loved the way he has played in recent weeks. Cousins is playing with a tremendous amount of confidence.

The San Francisco 49ers defense is one of the worst in the NFL. I see Washington running and throwing on them at will here. This is one of those spots where the west coast team heads east and struggles. San Francisco's defense is known for playing decent at home, but on the road they are a mess.

Washington's defense is improved from a year ago. The Redskins are getting much better play in the secondary. I think Washington's defensive front has a clear edge here as well, and that should create a lot of negative plays for San Francisco's offense.

Take Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

Browns vs. Texans Over 47

The Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans get together on Sunday. Houston has scores of key defenders out for this game. J.J. Watt is obviously at the top of this list. Cushing is another key guy who is out. Clowney has been limited in practice and is less than 100 percent as well.

The Browns offense should get some opportunities in this one. Cleveland has faced quite a few of the best defenses in the NFL so far this year. Houston is closer to the bottom than the top of the defenses without their key defenders on the field.

Houston's offense looks great with Deshaun Watson leading the way. Watson and Will Fuller have a great connection already. Watson is likely to have a big game against a Cleveland defense that has given up a bunch of big plays this year.

The fact that this one is played indoors is helpful for a high scoring game too.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Carolina -3

The Carolina Panthers have scored 60 points in their last two games. The big offensive output against the Patriots could be easily dismissed by the fact that the Patriots defense has been historically bad so far this year. However, the Panthers putting up a big number against Detroit last week showed me a lot.

Cam Newton is comfortable in the passing game again, and I think he'll be able to take advantage of yet another weak secondary here. Philadelphia has a bunch of defensive injuries and I think Newton and his solid offensive weapons can move the ball consistently here.

We've seen home teams have a big edge on Thursday night games in the past several years. Carson Wentz has been much better at home than on the road in his young career.

Carolina has the much better defense here, and to me that is the difference in this game. Look for the Panthers to keep their momentum going and win and cover here.

Take Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Minnesota vs. Chicago Under 40.5

The Vikings and Bears clash on Monday Night Football and the Under here has value to work with.

Both these offenses are very slow developing, which plays well here to the Under.

Minnesota has averaged just 19 points per game this season and things got even worse for this offense that is struggling to score. Dalvin Cook is now out, which leaves an already thin Vikings offense even thinner.

Looking at the Bears, they have been much worse. They're putting up 15.2 points per contest, as this offense lacks any sort of spark. Chicago will give you a heavy dosage of RB Jordan Howard, who will really chew up some yards, but also chew up a lot of clock.

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Chicago. Under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

Along with this being a head to head Under series, both offenses here just don't have much working for them.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL O/U Play

Green Bay vs. Dallas Over 52

In one of the more entertaining matchups this weekend, Aaron Rodgers and Dak Prescott will battle it out. 

We should see some fireworks in this one, given how well both offenses have been playing. 

It took them a few weeks, but Dallas finally figured things out. The Cowboys have put up back to back 24 point performances and everyone is contributing. It starts in the backfield with Ezekiel Elliott, who is heating up at a big rate right now. Elliot has found the back of the endzone 3 times now and comes in off a huge performance last week's loss to the Rams. Which brings the next point up of how vulnerable this Dallas defense has been, which is a huge plus for the Packers in this one. 

Aaron Rodgers has put up 25.8 points per game this season with his attack and they are clicking on all cylinders right now. Rodgers already has 1146 yards racked up and should be able to pick apart this secondary. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Dallas.

With this head to head battle typically a back and forth one, this Over makes sense.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

New York Giants -3

The Giants and Chargers battle on Sunday as both teams look to grab their first win of the season. 

Given these two teams early struggles, the Giants have actually looked better of the two. 

New York could easily have 2 wins under their belts thus far. It took a 61 yard field goal against the Eagles and a Nick Folk field goal against the Bucs to defeat New York in their previous two games.

While it's tough to find a silver lining from an 0-4 start, they can at least look to their offense really heating up. After two clunkers early on, the Giants have put up 47 points over their last 2 games. Eli Manning hasn't had much from his run game, but the pass game for the Giants is in the top tier in the NFL as well. New York ranks 9th in the league, averaging 265 pass yards per game. They should find a lot of gaps in this Chargers secondary. 

Some trends to note. Chargers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. Chargers are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

The Chargers are just more of a mess and worth fading here.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Philadelphia Eagles -6.5 

The Arizona Cardinals aren't the same team without David Johnson. Carson Palmer isn't at a stage in his career where he can carry a team on his back consistently. Also, he doesn't have a very good offensive line in front of him right now, partially due to injuries.

The Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of weapons on the offensive side. Carson Wentz is a quality quarterback, and he has been much better at home than on the road in his young NFL career. He now has some very good playmakers at wide receiver, and I see the Cardinals defense as in decline from a couple years ago.

The Eagles are balanced on offense. The Cardinals have zero running game now with Johnson out of the lineup, and the Eagles are going to get after Palmer here. In addition, winds are supposed to be higher than normal for this game, which complicates things in the air attack. That's a clear negative for Arizona.

Lay it with the home favorite here.

Take the Eagles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

New England -5 

New England and Tampa Bay clash on Thursday Night Football and the Patriots are going to be extremely eager to get on the field for this one. 

It's been a confusing start to the season for the Patriots, who have dropped 2 games at home now. Three of the last four opponents have dropped 30 points or more on them and you know this coaching staff won't stand for that. 

This defense is going to be playing with a huge chip on their shoulder here. Typically, you'll see New England cause a lot of havoc and stress for opposing teams. They are losing this team games because of their inability to slow them down. Letting down your offense is one thing, but when you're letting down Tom Brady who is currently picking apart opposing offenses, you're going to want to fix things quickly. 

Brady has led the offense to 32.2 points per game and he thrives on the road. New England is 8-0 in their last 8 away and that includes a win this season in New Orleans.

Some trends to note. Patriots are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Patriots are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games on grass.

Look for a fired up Pats team here.

Back New England. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Kansas City -7

The Chiefs and Redskins go at it on Monday Night Football and the home side here has value to work with.

Kansas City has turned to rookie Kareem Hunt, who has absolutely torched the opposition this season. Hunt has rumbled for 401 yards on the year, which leads the entire NFL.

This Chiefs offense has just dominated in almost every category. They rank first in the NFL with, 162.0 rushing yards per game and are 3rd in total offense with 397.3 yards. This offense should find plenty of success here against Washington as Hunt will certainly look to get going early and open some lanes, both on the ground and through the air, for this Kansas City offense.

Some trends to note. Chiefs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.Chiefs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

The Redskins are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Kansas City. Look for the Chiefs to continue that trend.

Back Kansas City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NFL ATS Play

Oakland Raiders +3

The Oakland Raiders were blown out last weekend by the Washington Redskins. No doubt they looked terrible. Still, it was only one game. Remember before last weekend when a lot of people said this team could be top two or three in the AFC? This is still a good team.

Oakland's offense should be much better this week. Derek Carr has a ton of weapons around him, and I fully expect much better things from Carr in this contest.

The Denver Broncos offense is still a problem. The defense is certainly good, but I don't think the Broncos offense is going to be able to keep up with the top offenses in the NFL. Oakland rates as one the NFL's best offenses in my book.

This is an overreaction from the oddsmakers on downgrading the Raiders. This number suggests these two teams are even on a neutral. The Raiders have the higher upside. Look for and Oakland bounce back.

OAK are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 vs. AFC and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games. DEN are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. AFC West.

Take Oakland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Dallas Cowboys -6

The Cowboys lay under a touchdown here on Sunday and this is a valuable play in this spot.

Dallas got everything back on track on Monday Night Football as the offense found a lot of success and rhythm early on. Everything looked as if it was the 2016 Cowboys on Monday. Dak Prescott was running wild and finding receivers deep down field, Dez Bryant was catching touchdowns, and Ezekiel Elliott found his groove.

That is the Cowboys team we should expect here. Look for a heavy dosage of Zeke, as he matches up very well here. The Rams allowed 113 yards and 3 scores on the ground last week against Carlos Hyde and the 49ers run game. That really doesn't bode well here for this Rams defense as they rank 29th in the league against the run.

Dallas has also been able to really lean off wins. The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS win.

Some other trends to note.  Rams are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.Rams are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.

This number is a nice one as Dallas should be able to really get a push against this Rams defensive line.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Miami Dolphins +3

The NFL is back in London this week and the Dolphins plus the points is a nice move here.

Miami was embarrassed last week by the Jets, but don't let that completely fool you about this team. The Dolphins have shown solid signs this season that this team has a lot of potential. Take their trip into Los Angeles when they absolutely frustrated the Chargers.

Defensively, they're allowing just 18.5 points per game, which is one of the best in the NFL. Miami has been able to stop the run and that is actually crucial here. While Brees and company sling it all over the field, they actually use their run game to open up the pass game. If they can't establish the run game early, Miami will be able to drop back in coverage and really fluster this pass attack.

Some trends to note. Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.Dolphins are 6-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

This is a prime bounce back spot for the Dolphins. The public has hit the Saints hard here early on. This is a nice spot to fade them.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Saints vs. Dolphins Over 50.5
 
The New Orleans Saints offense is going to be one of the best in the NFL this year. New Orleans torched a good Carolina defense last week. The Saints offense is 5th in the NFL in yards per play so far this year.

The Miami Dolphins offense hasn't been very good this year, but this is the worst defense they have played so far, and I think they'll be much better here.

These are two of the three worst defenses in the NFL by yards per play allowed so far this year. The Saints are allowing 6.8 yards per play. The Dolphins are allowing 6.2 yards per play.

These London games have been consistently going over the posted total of late. It's a good field for footing and it seems the offenses feel comfortable here. With two bad defenses here, I don't see this being a spot where it stays low.

Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The over is 4-0 in Saints last 4 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in the previous game. Over is 6-0 in Saints last 6 games overall.

Expect a high scoring contest.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Green Bay Packers -7

The Packers and Bears renew their rivalry and Green Bay here has value at the given number.

Green Bay saw vintage Aaron Rodgers come out in the 2nd half of last weeks win as they found themselves trailing the Bengals 21-7 and 24-17 late in the game. Rodgers led the game tying drive with just seconds to go and eventually led them to victory in overtime.

It was a huge corner this offense turned and Aaron Rodgers is heating up. Rodgers leads the league with 967 pass yards, going over 300 in each of his first 3 games. He'll take on a defense here that he has had plenty of success against in the past.

In the past 6 matchups with the Bears, Rodgers has thrown for 17 touchdowns to just 1 interception. His best is usually out against this defense, which is a huge edge here.

Some trends to note.  Favorite is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings. Bears are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 meetings.

Green Bay has dominated this series and laying just a touchdown is a nice play here.

Back Green Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play

Dallas Cowboys -2.5

The Cowboys head on the road for MNF and here they have value at this number.

Dallas was knocked around in Denver last week, but here this is certainly a nice chance to bounce back in all aspects.

One guy to keep an eye is Ezekiel Elliott. He was given a lot of backlash this past week for not chasing down defenders following offensive turnovers. Elliott has been at the center of a lot over the first few weeks of the season and eventually a fire is going to get lit underneath him. In primetime here, expect him to come out in a big way.

Arizona is also lacking a run game themselves. With David Johnson going down, they are really scrambling to figure things out in the backfield. That will continue to play a huge role for them, as they really can't establish a run game yet.

Some trends to note.  Cardinals are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Monday games.

The Cardinals do not play well on Monday Night Football. Given that and the fire this Cowboys team will come in with, this number is nice.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL ATS Play

Seattle +3

In the NFL you typically look to bet numbers and focus on those key numbers. Here we get one of those key numbers, with one of the best teams in the NFL.

While the Seahawks haven't looked as pretty through the first two games of the season, this team is still one of the top in the league. They have so many playmakers and it's only a matter of time before they are clicking on all cylinders and facing this Tennessee defense is just what they need. 

The Titans are giving up 334.5 yards per game through their first two and have been absolutely torched in the secondary. 

That is just what Wilson and star WR Doug Baldwin need to get this connection going. They still managed to escape 1-1 through their first two, as this team has been highlighted by their defense that has allowed just 13 points per game.

Some trends to note. Titans are 9-25-1 ATS in their last 35 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. Titans are 7-22-2 ATS in their last 31 home games.

This is the case of the Seahawks still being the better team here. They are much more physical and this defense is going really look to cause a lot of havoc up front.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Browns vs. Colts Under 42.5
 
The Cleveland Browns are clearly improved this year. I won't be surprised if they end up being a solid team against the spread. Still, this Cleveland offense lacks playmakers, and now they have injuries to some of their top guys on the roster in these key spots.

What's so much better in Cleveland? Primarily it is their defense. Look at who is one the other side too. Jacoby Brissett isn't a bad backup quarterback, but he barely even knows the playbook at this point, and he isn't surrounded by playmakers. The Colts offense will continue to struggle without Andrew Luck.

The Colts defense should be able to slow down this Browns offense as well. They looked solid last week against a better Cardinals offense.

Neither of these teams looks to play an uptempo style of play, so I think we see a sloppy low scoring contest.

A couple trends of note. The under is 6-0 in the Colts last 6 home games. The under is 8-2 in the Browns last 10 overall.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Jacksonville +4

The NFL shifts to London on Sunday morning and Jacksonville has value grabbing the points here. 

Baltimore has cruised through their first two games, but will now exit the division here to take on Jacksonville. 

One huge knock on this offense has been their ability to pass the ball. Flacco and company has thrown for just 156 yards per game through the first two games of the season. That is a huge issue here as this Jags defense as a whole is much more physical than the Bengals and Browns. 

Jacksonville enters play 1-1 and if this team looks anything like they did in Week 1, lookout. The Jags took it to the Texans and despite a loss last week, they've seen that Leonard Fournette is the real deal. He's led the Jags to 127 rush yards per game, which is in the top tier of the NFL. Look for them to really use that run game to control the tempo here and frustrate this Ravens defense.

Some trends to note. Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. AFC.

Jacksonville has a legit shot here to take this one outright. 

Back Jacksonville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Green Bay Packers +3

The Packers have value here on Sunday Night Football, as they catch a field goal.

For starters, this is essentially a revenge spot. Last time the Packers came to Atlanta they were knocked around from start to finish in the NFC Championship Game. Don't think for one second Aaron Rodgers and the rest of this team forgot that.

Green Bay may have looked like the best team after Week 1. It wasn't because of the the flashy plays from Aaron Rodgers and the offense either. The defense completely baffled one of the best QBs in the game in Russell Wilson. Green Bay allowed just 9 points as they were causing havoc in the backfield consistently. Look for them to certainly draw up some of the same blitz packages here and really fluster Matt Ryan.

Some trends to note. Packers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in September. Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.

Green Bay has been a covering machine in the month of September. With the confidence they have coming into this one after last week, expect them to really roll here.

Back Green Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Seattle Seahawks -14 +106

Laying this many points in an NFL is sometimes tough to do. However in this case, you're going to get a very fired up Seattle team here on Sunday.

The Seahawks had absolutely nothing going for them last Sunday, as they were shut down by the Packers. The offense couldn't sustain any drives whatsoever, as you could tell frustration was building all night long.

However here, this is a 49ers defense that isn't nearly as good or fast as Green Bay. The 49ers were torched by the Panthers in Week 1, as Cam Newton was able to keep the Panthers offense on the field consistently and move the chains. Expect Pete Carroll to certainly open the playbook a little bit more here in this one, really taking shots at the 49ers secondary.

Some trends to note. 49ers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games in September. 49ers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in Week 2.

The Seahawks have won 6 straight and 8 of the last 9 here in this series. Look for them to come out of the gates early extremely aggressive.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Tennessee Titans PK

 The Tennessee Titans are coming off a loss at home to Oakland. Jacksonville is coming off a road win at Houston. The perception of these two teams clearly changed in a big way because of one week. I like to look for spots where perception has changed too much, and I think this is one of them.

The Jaguars still have Blake Bortles as their quarterback, and in my book that is still a problem. Marcus Mariota gives the Titans a huge advantage at quarterback. This is a quarterback driven league.

I believe Houston was in a tough spot last week after all that happened with Hurricane Harvey and Jacksonville was able to take advantage of the Texans in a bad spot and with a poor QB in Tom Savage leading them.

The Titans know teams who start 0-2 don't have a good chance at all of making the playoffs, and they have lofty goals for this year.

Look for a bounce back from Tennessee in this one as Jacksonville is getting too much love here.

Take Tennessee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NFL ATS Play

Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals Over 37.5 

Thursday Night Football features two teams who struggled in Week 1. This is a bounce back week and we should see both offenses really adjust their game plans. 

This Cincinnati offense is way too talented and last weeks lost to the Ravens was not an indication of who this team really is. Lets not forget, Andy Dalton threw for 4206 yards last season and added 18 touchdowns. Along with him he's got one of the best receivers in the game in AJ Green. This duo will certainly adjust from last week and really come out firing. 

On the Texans side of things, Houston will turn to Deshaun Watson here for the starting nod. Watson tossed for 102 yards and a touchdown in the opener. He's got a huge future for this Texans team and certainly has to have a chip on his shoulder heading into this one after getting the nod over Savage.

Some trends to note. Over is 20-7 in Bengals last 27 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Over is 4-1 in Texans last 5 Thursday games.

Given how the Bengals bounce back from rough games, on top of the rookie really coming in with confidence, this total makes sense to go Over.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL O/U Play

New Orleans Saints +3

Grabbing the Saints at +3 here on Monday Night Football has value to work with.

New Orleans has one of the most prolific attacks in the NFL. This team is not afraid to wing it anywhere around the field and rightfully so when you have a QB like Drew Brees. The star QB comes in off a season where he tossed for an NFL best 5208 yards in 2016. 

The Saints duo of Brees and Michael Thomas is one of the best in the NFL. On top of all that, the Saints offer one of the best backs in the game. Mark Ingram rumbled for 1043 yards last season and added 10 touchdowns to his credit. His abilities really open the pass game for Brees and make this team that much more dangerous.

Some trends to note. Saints are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. Saints are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. the NFC. 

Grabbing points here with an explosive offense is the move.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL ATS Play

Colts vs. Rams Under 41.5

The Indianapolis Colts offense is a completely different animal when Andrew Luck isn't behind center, and I don't mean that in a good way. Luck plays behind a bad offensive line and is able to make a lot of plays out of nothing.

Scott Tolzien gets the start here, and he is clearly worse than the average NFL backup in my eyes. Tolzien is nothing more than a mediocre game manager, and as I mentioned before, this Colts offensive line is weak. Tolzien isn't the type of guy to create plays on his own. I don't think the Colts will have much success running against a good defensive front here either.

While the Rams offense should be improved this year, I'm not convinced they are going to all at once be a strong unit. They have a lot to prove in a new system. The system is better than last year's, but they still are in their first regular season game of that new scheme. Expect some growing pains.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday NFL 8* O/U Play

Arizona Cardinals -1.5

Week 1 in the NFL is upon us and Sunday the Cardinals have value laying the small spread on the road here. 

Arizona has been on the uprise over the past few seasons and this team is a legit contender now. The dominate duo of QB Carson Palmer and WR Larry Fitzgerald continues to be such a threat and this is going to be another big season for both. 

Carson Palmer may have himself in the top tier of QBs in the NFL. Last year he threw for 4,233 yards and 26 touchdowns. This team is just so deep as well, as RB David Johnson has put himself as one of the best RBs in the NFL. Last year, Johnson rushed for 1,239 yards and 16 touchdowns. The Cardinals star RB really opens up the pass game for Palmer, which is a huge reason why this team has such success. 

Some trends to note. Lions are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Lions are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC.

There is a significant talent gap here. The Cardinals offense is going to really heave it here against this weak Lions secondary.

Back Arizona ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Philadelphia vs. Washington Over 47.5

NFC East rivals go at it Sunday afternoon and the total here has value towards the Over.

Philadelphia showed last season that Carson Wentz not only has a bright future in the NFL, but this offense is certainly capable of really exploding on any given night. 

Wentz managed to rack up 3,782 passing yards last season and now has a compliment of solid receivers to accompany him. Out wide he'll have Torrey Smith and Alshon Jefferey, two playmakers who can go up and get it. This offense averaged 337.4 yards per game last year and now with 2 star WRs, along with LeGarrette Blout in the backfield, there are plenty of weapons to go around. Over is 13-5 in Eagles last 18 vs. NFC.

For Washington, they were extremely efficient. The Redskins were top 3 in both pass yards and total yards per game in 2016. QB Kirk Cousins whips it all over the field, as he racked up 4917 yards last year. Over is 21-7 in Redskins last 28 games overall.

Some other trends to note. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

These two teams are prolific on the offensive side of the ball. Given the head to head series being Over as well, this total makes sense.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play

Kansas City Chiefs +9

The defending Champions open the season at home and are worth going against here on Thursday night. 

There will be plenty of emotions for the entire Patriots organization as they celebrate their Super Bowl title from last season after erasing a 28-3 deficit. While there will be plenty of celebrating, this has been known in sports to really cause a distraction. 

On top of that, the Chiefs are no pushover by any means whatsoever. Kansas City gave the Patriots all they could handle last season in the 2016 AFC Divisional Round and this defense is extremely talented all around. Kansas City saw their defense depleted last time these two teams met, in particular linebacker Justin Houston. He is at 100%, like the rest of this defense, as they should be able to cause a lot of havoc in the Pats backfield.

Some trends to note. Chiefs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. Chiefs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

The public will pound New England as well. Lets go against them here and expect the Chiefs to really give them a good game here.

Back Kansas City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Atlanta vs. New England Over 58

The Falcons and Patriots are two of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. 

Get set for one of the most memorable Super Bowls ever. These two teams are going to score and put on a show for all of us.

The Falcons are the best scoring offense in the NFL. Atlanta averages 33.8 points per game, as this offense isn't shy about what they try to do. QB Matt Ryan is going to sling it all over the field. With receivers like Julio Jones and a pair of RBs that can get out of the backfield and catch passes, this offense is so dangerous. 

This Patriots offense is by far the best at what they do. Tom Brady and company are simply methodical and have proven they can pick apart any defense in the NFL. They're going to see a horrible, worn down secondary in Atlanta which bodes well here. 

Some trends to note. Over is 12-0 in Falcons last 12 games on fieldturf.Over is 12-0 in Falcons last 12 games on fieldturf. Over is 59-28 in Patriots last 87 games on fieldturf.

This is an Over matchup. Both teams score and can score quickly with the big play.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play


FREE PROPS

Matt Ryan Over 25.5 Completions -120

Matt Ryan has had zero issues throwing the ball this season. Ryan has accumulated 5674 yards through the air while tossing for 45 touchdowns. 

Expect the Falcons to not only have to throw the ball to win this game, but if they fall behind, they'll be forced to abandon the run game. 

The Over here is a nice play for Ryan. 

Total QB Sacks Under 4

This is an interesting prop. Both QBs are pocket passers, but they are also two QBs who don't hold onto the ball long at all. 

Expect them to get rid of their passes quickly and efficiently, as this number is just too high to pass up on. 

Don't forget, both offense lines are top notch when it comes to teams in the NFL. They don't allow the opposition to get into the backfield and with this number at 4, it's too nice to pass up on the Under.

New England -6

The Patriots clash with the Steelers on Sunday night in the AFC Championship and New England laying the points has value. 

New England and the AFC Championship are just becoming a formality now. The Pats are entering their 6th straight Conference Championship game and they're making things look rather easy. 

They matchup well here with the Steelers as they simply have the defensive capabilities to slow both the pass game and run game down. New England concedes just 15.6 points per game and with their ability to control the tempo offensively, Tom Brady and company will do whatever it takes to keep the Steelers offense off the field. 

At home, New England has been dominant in the playoffs. They boast a 16-3 home record in the postseason dating back to 2001.

Some trends to note. Patriots are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Patriots are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

This is a case where the Patriots simply matchup well. Expect them to control this pace and really get Pittsburgh out of their comfort zone.

Back New England ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Pittsburgh vs. Kansas City Under 45

The Steelers and Chiefs were switched into primetime following some weather issues, which even betters the chance at the Under here on Sunday. 

This game is set up for a defensive battle. Both Pittsburgh and Kansas City feature top defenses in the NFL. Pittsburgh concedes just 19.9 points per game, while the Chiefs are at 19.4. Take into account the weather with both of those numbers and this one is going to be a struggle on the offenses. 

Here, expect a lot of running plays to be called and for both teams to really chew up the clock. It's too difficult of a task to beat either of these teams with the deep ball. 

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Under is 38-16 in Chiefs last 54 home games.

Expect a defensive struggle here as both teams will certainly chew a lot of clock up. 

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Packers vs. Cowboys Over 52

No one believed Aaron Rodgers when he said this Packers team could run the table, but they did. The Packers were coming off a horrible loss at Washington and they rebounded by winning out. Rodgers' excellent play was the primary reason for the Packers tremendous run late in the year.

I'm not convinced the Dallas defense is all that good. I think the offense has been able to cover for the defense most of the year by controlling the football. The Cowboys secondary is very capable of giving up big plays, and Aaron Rodgers is the perfect guy to exploit their weakness there.

The Packers run defense ranked in the bottom five in the NFL in the last five games of the year. Dallas is going to break some big runs here. Also, as Green Bay commits more to the box, don't be surprised to see Dak Prescott throw it over the top more than expected here. Dallas should have a big advantage with the Packers secondary badly beaten up right now.

A couple trends of note. The over is 5-0 in Green Bay's last 5 games. The over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams when playing in Dallas.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday NFL Divisional Playoff 8* O/U Play

Seattle Seahawks +4.5

The Seahawks head into Atlanta to take on Matt Ryan and the Falcons Saturday and here, it's the visitors plus the points that have value. 

Seattle comes in off a dominant performance over the Lions, as they showcased how good they are on both sides of the ball. This is an Atlanta defense they can certainly pick apart. 

The Falcons give up 25.4 points per game and are very vulnerable to fast teams like the Seahawks here. Look for Thomas Rawls to really get a heavy dosage early here as he can wear this front down and really open up some passing lanes for Russell Wilson. 

Defensively, the Seahawks are going to be a very tough test for this Falcons offense. They flock to the ball and simply do not let anyone behind them in the secondary. 

Some trends to note. Seahawks are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Seahawks are 47-23-2 ATS in their last 72 games on fieldturf.

Matt Ryan is just 1-4 in his career in the playoffs. Given his struggles in the postseason, expect Seattle to really put a lot of pressure on him here in this one. 

Back Seattle ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NFL ATS Play

Green Bay -5

The Packers welcome in the Giants on Sunday and Green Bay minus the points is the way to go here. 

Green Bay enters the postseason as hot as any team in the NFL. 

After losing 4 straight games in the middle of the season and looking like this team was dead and buried, they leaned on QB Aaron Rodgers and his hot hand to completely change this season around. 

Green Bay has rattled off 6 straight wins and have both their defense and offense clicking. 

They get a look at the Giants here, who have played well this season, but have a QB in Eli Manning that is known for throwing key interceptions. In this case, playing on the road for the Giants isn't going to bode well. They're just 3-4 SU away from the Meadowlands and have really been a different team when playing away from there. 

Some trends to note. Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Wildcard games. Packers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.

This is a nice spot for the Packers. They're red hot right now and with a veteran like Rodgers, this should be no issue.

Back Green Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NFL ATS Play

Pittsburgh Steelers -10

The Steelers welcome in the Dolphins for Wild Card Weekend and Pittsburgh laying the points has some value. 

Pittsburgh will get a huge benefit of not just playing at home where they are 6-2, but also avoid QB Ryan Tannehill. 

While Miami was one of the most surprising teams this season, they saw a huge injury hit Tannehill, leaving the ball in the hands of the inexperienced Matt Moore. 

Pittsburgh defense is going to cause havoc for Moore. Expect them to constantly put pressure in the backfield and really force Moore into some bad decisions. 

Some trends to note. Steelers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 playoff home games. Steelers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Pittsburgh is perhaps the hottest team entering play this postseason, winners of 7 straight games. Expect them to lean on their defense here, who should force some key turnovers.

Back Pittsburgh ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Houston Texans -3.5

The Texans and Raiders clash on Wild Card Weekend and the home team laying the points has value. 

Both of these teams have been extremely interesting this season. The Raiders were cruising along as one of the best teams in the NFL, but will now enter play without their star QB. 

After handing Brock Osweiler a giant contract, the Texans benched him after seeing subpar results. Following an injury to Tom Savage, Osweiler was inserted back into the lineup and is now being asked to lead the team here on Saturday. 

Despite his struggles this season, Osweiler has still been the more reliable QB in this situation. Nobody is sure what Oakland will do here, but they'll have an inexperienced QB taking the snaps Saturday. 

Look for the Texans to really put some pressure in the Oakland backfield all night long, knowing the situation at hand. With how good this Houston defense is, they get a huge edge here.

Some trends to note. Texans are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

Look for Houston to dominate the line of scrimmage on the defensive end, which is wear they gain a huge swing and win this game.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NFL ATS Play

Green Bay -3

The Packers and Lions battle for the NFC North Division title and Green Bay laying the points is the move here.

The Packers have experience on their side. They've been in this position plenty of times before, where as the Lions simply haven't been in this spot many times. 

Given how hot the Packers are right now too, this is a nice line. Green Bay looked dead and buried as they loss 4 straight games. However, QB Aaron Rodgers has picked his level of play up about 10 notches and the defense is getting clutch stops, as Green Bay has rattled of 5 straight wins. 

Green Bay's offense is just too powerful for the Lions to keep up with. The Packers can strike at any given moment and will have plenty of scoring chances here against this Detroit defense.

Some trends to note. Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on fieldturf. Packers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.

Expect the Packers to really take some chances down field, especially knowing this Lions offense isn't known for the big play.

Back Green Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Bears vs. Vikings Over 43

The Chicago Bears are starting Matt Barkley at quarterback. Barkley threw five interceptions last week at home against the Redskins. At the same time, Barkley has undoubtedly helped the Bears move the football better on offense as well. He can make big plays both for the Bears, or sometimes for the defense in the way of interceptions. Barkley is a big risk taker.

The Bears defense ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per play allowed at 6.7 in their last three contests. The Bears defense has been badly banged up all year long, and I believe this unit has just worn down of late.

Minnesota's once vaunted defense has been worse than the average defense in the league in the four games.

Neither team has anything to play for here which tends to help the over, and I think we'll see both offenses put up a solid amount of points in this one.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play

Denver Broncos +3.5

The Broncos head into Kansas City on Sunday night and Denver plus the points is the move here. 

Denver is in a spot where it's win or bust. They have to win their final two games to have any shot at defending their Superbowl title. 

One thing this team has going for them is their defensive play on the road. Denver is one of the best overall defensively, but they have given up just 17 points per road game en route to a 4-3 record. 

Denver can control the pace in this game. Kansas City's offense certainly isn't going to overpower anyone, by any means. Expect the Broncos to try and win the battle at the line of scrimmage as they have to work their run game. That's been a big mishap for this team as of late, as they've strayed away from the run game. 

Some trends to note. Broncos are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss. Broncos are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS loss.

Look for Denver to really push the issue here on Sunday night. Urgency is a huge key here, as they have to get out early and will definitely open the playbook a bit more.

Back Denver ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Colts vs. Raiders Over 53.5

The Indianapolis Colts and the Oakland Raiders are explosive offenses with two of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.

Andrew Luck is getting healthy, and his offensive line has been much better at protecting him in recent games. When Luck has time to throw, he's really hard to stop. The Colts have plenty of weapons on offense, and the running game has been good enough to keep the defenses honest.

Derek Carr has had a minor injury, but he is improving, and now he faces the weakest defense he has seen in quite a while. Oakland struggled with San Diego last week, but that is a major rivalry. The Raiders played in Kansas City two weeks ago and those were poor conditions for Carr with the injury.

Indianapolis and Oakland both rank in the bottom five in the NFL in defensive yards per play allowed. Two big play quarterbacks going up against defenses that have allowed a bunch of big plays this year. I expect a lot of points.

A couple trends of note. The over is 6-1 in the Colts last 7 road games. The over is 19-6-2 in the Raiders last 27 home games.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NFL O/U Play

Green Bay -6.5

The Packers welcome in the Vikings on Saturday and Green Bay laying the points is a solid move here. 

Green Bay enters play red hot, with a very rare chance to clinch a playoff spot on Saturday. However, they still have a very good chance at controlling their fate, as they search for their 5th straight win. 

The Packers offense has found their groove and now even the defense is stepping up, as they turned in a key interception on Sunday against the Bears to secure a win. 

As for the Vikings, they've been a struggle as of late. Minnesota has dropped 7 of their last 9 and this team is all out of whack. The Vikings have also been a struggle on the road this season, going just 3-4, as they're averaging a mere 17.9 points per game.

Some trends to note. Packers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in December. Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 16.

Expect the Packers to continue their dominant run here, as they roll over Minnesota on Saturday.

Back Green Bay. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NFL ATS Play

Atlanta vs. Carolina Over 51

The Falcons and Panthers go at it on Saturday and the Over here has solid value. 

Atlanta has been one of the best Over bets in the NFL this season and this matchup with the Panthers is a real solid play to go with. 

Atlanta has hit the Over in 12 of their 14 games this season while averaging 33.5 points per game. Defensively, this team hasn't been at it's best by any means, as they get torched through the air. The Falcons give up 26 points per game and that number has really gone up over the recent games. 

Both Cam Newton and Matt Ryan are in stride right now, really leading both offenses on huge drives that result in big plays. 

Some trends to note. Over is 18-8 in Panthers last 26 vs. NFC. Over is 12-2 in Falcons last 14 games overall.

Expect a huge game from both QBs as both teams really go at it tomorrow. Given the offenses here, this game has the making for high scoring, giving this Over a lot of value. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NFL O/U Play

Carolina vs. Washington Over 50.5

The Panthers and Redskins battle on Monday Night Football and the Over here has solid value. 

Both of these offenses are extremely explosive and have a chance to make a big play at any time. Cam Newton and Kirk Cousins both have shown the ability to throw it deep as they have plenty of threats at WR who can go get it. 

This season, the Panthers have played to the Over in 5 of their 6 road games. Defense has been their biggest issue, as they concede 32.5 points per game. 

On the Redskins side of things, they have gone Over in 11 of 13 goals overall and all 6 home games have hit the total. Averaging nearly 4 touchdowns per game, Washington moves the ball with speed and will have a field day with this Panthers secondary. 

Some trends to note. Over is 8-0 in Redskins last 8 home games. Over is 18-7 in Panthers last 25 vs. NFC.

Expect back and forth action all night long, with this game seeing a lot of points. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NFL O/U Play

Raiders vs. Chargers Over 49

The Oakland Raiders offense has been good all year. Of course Oakland didn't look very good in the brutal cold at Kansas City last weekend, but I don't think we should have expected them to.

Derek Carr is a warm weather quarterback, and he is back in the warm weather for this one. He'll play better this week. Oakland's defense is dead last in the NFL in yards per play allowed, and they are also last in the NFL in yards per pass completion allowed.

This is a defense that gives up a lot of big plays and San Diego's Phillip Rivers should be able to take advantage. In the first meeting between these two, we saw how explosive both offenses can be when they combined for 46 points in the second half alone (32 of them in the third quarter).

They should be explosive again here.

A couple trends of note. The over is 6-1 in the Raiders last 7 games. The over is 4-1-1 in the Chargers last 6 home games.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday NFL 8* O/U Play

Atlanta Falcons -13.5

The San Francisco 49ers are allowing 6.3 yards per play on the road this year. This defense ranks third worst in the NFL away from home. On the other side, Atlanta is averaging 6.5 yards per play on offense, which is the best mark in the NFL.

The San Francisco secondary wasn't any good to start with, and now they have been hit hard by injuries. This is a team that is giving up a lot of big plays in the passing game. Atlanta has some solid depth at receiver, and regardless of who is playing I think they take advantage of this San Francisco secondary.

Atlanta's pass rush has gotten much better in recent weeks. Vic Beasley is turning into a star pass rusher, and that has made this defense much better. While San Francisco has had some positive moments on offense, this is a team that is prone to mistakes with Colin Kaepernick under center. 

A couple trends of note in this one. San Francisco is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. The Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record. 

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Green Bay -5.5

The Packers take on the Bears Sunday and the visitors minus the points has a lot of value.

Green Bay demolished the Bears earlier this season when Brian Hoyer left the game with a broken arm, giving way to Matt Barkley who just struggled.

Barkley will get the nod here on Sunday, which is a huge plus for the Packers. He's simply struggled this year in the starting role and really had nothing going against the Packers when he relieved Hoyer.

The Packers are red hot right now and right back in the playoff picture. QB Aaron Rodgers has been able to pick apart opposing defenses and comes in off a very impressive performance against the Seahawks.

This is going to be a case where Chicago cannot keep up with the scoring.

Some trends to note. Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. Packers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in December. Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 15. Road team is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

Look for Rodgers to dominate and pick apart this Bears team again. With the lack of offensive production for Chicago, the Packers should be able to pull away.

Back Green Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play.

Browns +10

The Browns head into Buffalo on Sunday and the visitors plus the points have value. Cleveland has been a mess this year, its no secret, but this team matches up well with Buffalo. The Bills aren't overpowering by any means and this is a nice spot for the Browns to stay close.

Cleveland will go with Robert Griffin III, who is extremely inspired to play well. While he was injured for a majority of the year, Griffin III came back last week and got to shake the rust off. He'll have a chance to pick on a weak secondary here on Sunday.

Some trends to note. Browns are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Bills are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Bills are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Cleveland has a chance here. At this number, the Browns are worth a move. Expect their defense to control Tyrod Taylor and company while the offense produces behind a fresh RG3.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play

Baltimore Ravens +6.5

The Ravens head into New England for Monday Night Football and the visitors with the points is a solid move. 

Baltimore has been playing just as great as anyone as they've won back to back games and are in a battle atop the AFC North with Pittsburgh. Over their last 5 games they have gone 4-1 and QB Joe Flacco has been magnificent. 

Flacco threw for 381 yards and 4 touchdowns while completing a franchise record 36 passes in the win over Miami last time out. 

The Ravens have been one of the few teams that have given New England fits as well. Four of the last six meetings have been decided by 4 points or less and Baltimore has won 2 games in Foxborough in the postseason during that time. 

Some trends to note. Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. Ravens are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. AFC.

The Ravens have a legit shot here. They're playing extremely well and have always given the Pats fits. Expect them to do that here on Monday as this one comes down to the wire.

Back Baltimore ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NFL ATS Play

Bengals vs. Browns Under 41

The Bengals and Browns battle for Ohio on Sunday and the Under here has value.

Weather will certainly play a role here as there is snow in the forecast, along with cold temperatures. Not the most ideal weather conditions for either team. 

Both teams have a compliment of injuries to deal with too. QB Andy Dalton is without his star receiver and go to target in AJ Green, along with playmaking RB Giovanni Bernard. The Browns have been dealing with injuries all season long and have about as thin of a roster as you can get. It will likely be Robert Griffin III making the start here, which he is going to have a ton of rest. 

The Under has been a solid play in this series as well. In the last 5 meetings, 4 of the games have gone Under the number. 

Some trends to note. Under is 4-0 in the Browns last 4 games. Under is 11-5 in the Bengals last 16 vs. the AFC. 

Look for this to be a struggle of a game offensively on both sides, giving the Under value.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play

San Diego vs. Carolina Over 48.5

The Chargers and Panthers get set for battle on Sunday afternoon and the Over here has solid value. 

San Diego's defense just hasn't been good this season. They have allowed an average of 27 points per game and consistently get burned with the big play. 

This matchup with the Panthers and QB Cam Newton just isn't a good one for them. The Panthers are a team with big playmaking abilities and while they've struggled this season at times, this they still have explosive receivers and a QB that can find them deep down field. 

Offensively for the Chargers, this is a solid matchup as well. San Diego averages nearly 28 points per game and with RB Melvin Gordon leading the charge, he can open up a lot of gaps in the defense as the game goes on. Expect San Diego to have plenty of chances down field on this Panthers defense, that gives up 27 points per game. 

Some trends to note. Over is 18-6-2 in Panthers last 26 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Over is 13-5-1 in Chargers last 19 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

Look for a back and forth type of game with a lot of big plays for both offenses here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Arizona -2

A flipped favorite spot here. The Dolphins opened as a 2.5 point home favorite, and now the Cardinals are a 2 point road favorite. That line movement early in the week has to be respected. There is some serious sharp money on the road team in this contest.

I don't think there is any doubt that Arizona is the better team. The Cardinals are second in the NFL in yards per play allowed at only 4.8 yards per play on the season. They actually rank first in yards per play allowed on the road.

Miami is a team that went on a nice run in the middle of the year, but their advanced statistics suggest that was likely a fluke. Miami's offense hasn't been good when they have to throw the football, and I think the Arizona front seven has the advantage over the Miami offensive line. 

The Cardinals have been disappointing overall on the year, but their upside is much higher and  I believe they will finish the season strong.

A couple trends of note. The Cardinals are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in December. Miami is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games. Miami is also 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games in December.

Back Arizona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Kansas City Chiefs -3

The Chiefs welcome in the Raiders in a game where both teams are currently red hot. Laying the small number with Kansas City has the value here. 

Kansas City gets the edge here thanks to their defense. At home this year, they're allowing just 16.8 points per game. Compare that to the Raiders, who are giving up an average of 24.9 points per game and there is a clear advantage that goes the Chiefs way. 

QB Alex Smith has also had incredible success against the Raiders. He's already dominated them once this year and over the last 9 head to head meetings, Smith has a touchdown to interception ratio of 18-3. He'll also have his main target in WR Jeremy Maclin back, which is a huge plus for this Chiefs team.

Some trends to note. Chiefs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. Chiefs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.

This is a nice number on Kansas City. Expect them to continue their dominance over the Raiders and really lean on their defense here to force some turnovers.

Back Kansas City ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Buffalo vs. Oakland Over 48

The Bills and Raiders meet on Sunday afternoon and the Over here has the value. 

Both teams have the ability to put up points and put them up quickly. This season, Buffalo is averaging 25.5 points per game, while the Raiders sit at 28 points per contest. Both offenses like to attack deep down field and have the ability to make the big play all the time. 

Defensively, Oakland is one of the worst in the NFL. Overall they've conceded 25 points per game and that number increases when they play at home to 28.8. 

Whenever these teams meet, it tends to be high scoring as well. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 head to head meetings.

Some trends to note. Over is 14-6 in Bills last 20 games in Week 13. Over is 18-6-2 in Raiders last 26 home games.

With playmakers like Tyrod Taylor, LeSean McCoy, Amari Cooper and Derek Carr, this is going to be a back and forth game with a lot of pace to it.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Green Bay Packers -6

The Packers take on the Texans on Sunday and here the home team has value laying the points.

Green Bay finally got back on track in an impressive way as they took down Carson Wentz and the Eagles in Phili on Monday Night Football. 

The biggest key was the defense, which stepped up after getting ran over for multiple weeks in a row. They got consistent pressure in the Eagles backfield all night long, which is what they'll look to do here. 

The Texans offense is far from threatening as well. QB Brock Osweiler has been rather weak this season, which bodes well for the Packers in this one. Green Bay can score and score quick. If this turns into shootout, the Texans simply won't be able to keep up.

Some trends to note. Packers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in December. Packers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.

Giving just -6 here with a now confident bunch in the Green Bay Packers, this is a good spot to expect a lopsided Green Bay win.

Back Green Bay ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Dolphins vs. Ravens Under 41

The Baltimore Ravens offense has been inept of late. Baltimore has been held to 19 points or fewer in 4 of their last 7 games. The Ravens passing game is full of short passes, and the opposition is starting to sit on those. Baltimore's running game hasn't been good either. Joe Flacco is playing with no confidence right now.

Miami's offense has improved lately, but they are primarily a running team. Baltimore's defense is tremendous at stopping the run. In fact, Baltimore is second in the NFL in yards per carry allowed at only 3.38 per carry. I think Ajayi and the Dolphins running game will find things difficult going in this one.

Both of these defenses are healthier than they were earlier this year, and that's a big positive. Neither team plays particularly fast, so we can expect the drives to take some time.

A couple trends of note. The under is 4-0 in the Ravens last 4 home games. The under is 4-1 in the last two meetings between these teams.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play

Minnesota Vikings +3 +110

The Vikings welcome in the Cowboys on Thursday night and here the value lies with the home team.

First off, this is one of those fade the public plays. With how hot Dallas is right now, all the money flowing in is going on Dallas.

Two other key reasons for backing Minnesota come from their home play, along with their defensive style. 

Minnesota has gone 4-1 at home this season, while boasting a 4-1 ATS record in that span. The Vikings are giving up just 16.6 points per home game this season as well. Expect them to really put pressure on the rookie backfield for the Cowboys, not allowing them to get the room to maneuver like most teams have given them lately.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Vikings are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games.

Expect Minnesota to suffocate this Dallas offense and really control the tempo of play.

Back Minnesota ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Chiefs vs. Broncos Under 39
 
The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos meet in a heated rivalry game where there is a bunch on the line. Kansas City sits at 7-3 on the year and Denver sits at 7-3. They are each one game back of the Oakland Raiders.

Kansas City just dropped a game in stunning fashion to Tampa Bay. Denver is coming off a bye week. This game always means a lot, but it means even more than normal this Sunday night. In general, the higher the stakes, the harder it is for offenses to get going.

In this contest, we have two quarterbacks who aren't very capable of putting up big numbers or big plays in the passing game. Alex Smith isn't a bad quarterback, but it's hard to see him carving up the Broncos secondary.

Trevor Siemian has been pretty good, but once again he lacks the ability to make big plays himself.

Some trends to point out here. The under is 7-2-2 in the last 11 meetings between these two teams. The under is 3-0-2 in the last 5 meetings in Denver. The under is 11-5-1 in Denver's last 17 home games.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play

Carolina Panthers +3

The Panthers catch points on the road against Oakland and have value here on Sunday. 

Carolina has been an underachiever this, no doubt, but when you get points with them, they're worth a move here. 

This is a spot where it's experience versus youth. The Panthers boast an offense that has plenty of veterans who know wins are now necessary. 

QB Cam Newton comes in off a solid performance last Thursday. The Panthers got extra time to prep here which is also a huge plus. 

Some trends to note. Panthers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. Raiders are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Raiders are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games.

This is a spot to grab the points. Oakland's defense has given up 24.3 points per game and has struggled at many points this year. This isn't a must win spot, but it's a spot where the Panthers have to show up if they're serious about defending their conference title.

Back Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

San Diego Chargers -2

The San Diego Chargers catch the Houston Texans in a really bad spot. Houston is coming off a horrible loss on Monday Night Football in Mexico against Oakland.

That was an odd spot for Houston playing in that game in Mexico to begin with, since the elevation at the stadium was far higher than the elevation at Denver. Basically, it was always going to be a bad spot here, with Houston playing on short rest and with possible extra physical issues due to the elevation factor.

When you factor in the way Houston lost that game, it is even worse. The Texans should have won the game and somehow handed it away. Those are hard to come back from. San Diego has been far better than their record would indicate all year. The Chargers have been able to score on everyone this year. Houston's offense is a mess with Osweiler at quarterback. I don't think Houston can keep up with the Chargers here.

The Chargers are well rested and should be ready to go here. The same cannot be said about Houston.

A couple trends of note. San Diego is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 following a loss. The Chargers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against a team with a winning record.

Take San Diego.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday NFL 7* ATS Play

Washington Redskins +7

The Redskins take on the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day and this is a spot where the points are the way to go. 

While Dallas is stealing the show in the NFL, everybody is going to be jumping on their bandwagon. With this being a standalone game on a holiday, there is certainly going to be public money flowing in on the Cowboys. 

Don't overlook Washington though by any means. The Redskins have won back to back games and come in off an impressive win over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Washington has gone 7-3 ATS this season and has an impressive defense that gives up just 19.0 points per road game.

This is a spot for Kirk Cousins to redeem himself too. Cousins threw a costly pick that led to a game winning touchdown for Dallas back on 9/18. Washington is right there with Dallas in terms of talent level and this is a spot where he can certainly redeem himself. 

Some trends to note. Redskins are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Redskins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Expect the Redskins to not only keep this one close, but to also have plenty of chances to steal this one. 

Back Washington ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Green Bay Packers +3

The Packers head into Washington on Sunday night and grabbing the points is the way to go here.

Aaron Rodgers is in unfamiliar territory, as Green Bay sits under 500.

It's really been the defense that has been the issue as the offense has been fine. Rodgers and company are still putting up 26.0 points per game and 253 pass yards per game.

This is where he steps up. In the national spotlight on Sunday Night Football, this is going to be a spot where he picks apart the Washington defense. Don't forget, this Redskins defense is rather prone to allowing the pass. Washington gives up 250 per game and this is certainly one of the best QBs they'll be seeing.

Some trends to note. Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Packers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

Expect Rodgers and company to come out firing here, as they play with some aggravation and take it out on the Skins.

Back Green Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play

Titans vs. Colts Over 52.5

The Titans and Colts square off on Sunday and the Over here has a lot of value.

While it is a higher one, both offenses can score and score quick.

Tennessee puts up 26.5 points per game while the Colts are at 26.6. Both teams have plenty of playmakers than can turn it up field and take off.

The value also comes from how bad both defenses have been. Tennessee gives up 25.1, while the Colts are at 28.4. The secondaries on both teams are very vulnerable to the big play, which doesn't bode well for them against these kinds of offenses.

Some trends to note. Over is 7-0-1 in Titans last 8 vs. a team with a losing record. Over is 5-1 in Colts last 6 games overall. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

With Marcus Mariota and Andrew Luck having such good playmaking abilities, expect back and forth action with a lot of scoring.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play

Cardinals vs. Vikings Under 40

It's not very often that you see a total posted this low in the NFL, but there are plenty of reasons for the low line in this one.

Minnesota's offensive line has been weak all year long. The Vikings are banged up on the line right now, and Sam Bradford is likely to be under pressure all game long.

The Cardinals secondary should take away Bradford's top throwing options as well. Arizona relies on the big play on offense.  The Cardinals were so good offensively last year because Carson Palmer was making some great throws down the field. This year Palmer's accuracy on deep passes has been much worse. The Vikings are also good at taking away big plays.

You could make a solid argument that these are the top two defenses in football right now.  Since neither team plays particularly fast it would take both offenses being efficient to get this on past the posted total.

Some trends to consider. Under is 9-1 in Vikings last 10 games following a ATS loss. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Under is 4-1 in Vikings last 5 home games.

We will rely on two of the best defensive coordinators to slow down their opposition in this one.

Take the under.

Good luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 8* NFL O/U play

Carolina Panthers -3

The Carolina Panthers are still better than they have shown so far this year. I believe the Panthers have a lot of pride in the locker room, and I think they circle the wagons and make a statement in this game.

New Orleans beat Carolina 41-38 earlier this year. The Panthers secondary was torched in that one. While Carolina's full season defensive stats are certainly bad, it is important to note that they have been much better in their last couple games. This defense has a bunch of the same guys they had last year when they were seen as a top three defense in the NFL.

Cam Newton has still made some mistakes, but he is showing signs of breaking out in recent games. He faces one of the worst secondaries in football here, and I see a big game coming from him.

On a short week, I trust the home team that is playing with some extra anger. The Saints have been good against the number so far this year, but long term trends suggest that should change soon.

Some betting trends to consider. Road team is 21-9 ATS in their last 30 meetings. The Saints are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 November games.

Take Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NFL ATS Play

Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5

The Steelers welcome in the Cowboys on Sunday and this is one of those games where the line is just baiting towards one team.

Seeing red hot Dallas, grabbing points certainly looks appealing, but not so fast.

The Steelers have Ben Roethlisberger back and after a week of shaking off the rust, he'll be 100% full go this week. In 3 home games when Roethlisberger is the starting QB, the Steelers are averaging 32.6 points per game. 

Dallas is a mediocre pass defense, which a healthy Roethlisberger should be able to pick apart. On the season, the Cowboys are giving up 246 pass yards against. 

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game. Steelers are 14-6-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Steelers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss.

This is a nice spot to fade the public and back the Steelers. They're still one of the best teams and have one of the best QBs in the league, who will flourish here.

Back Pittsburgh. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play

Dolphins vs. Chargers Over 49

The emergence of Jay Ajayi has made this Miami Dolphins offense much more formidable. Ryan Tannehill has never been the kind of guy who can beat you by dropping back and throwing the ball 50 times. Now, he doesn't have to do anything close to that.

San Diego's offense has been able to move the ball against everyone this year. Phillip Rivers is still underrated as a quarterback. Though he seemingly always has his best weapons out at the skill positions, Rivers puts up big numbers and this Chargers offense is very good this season again.

The weather is set to be very nice for this one. Both defenses here are extremely aggressive. They take chances and look for shots to pick off passes, but that also means there are opportunities for big plays deep. Look for big plays from both offenses here.

A couple trends of note. The over is 5-1 in the Chargers last 6 games. The over is 5-2 in the Dolphins last 7 games.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play

Carolina Panthers -3

The Carolina Panthers were never as bad as their record early in the year. They have shown that to be the case the last couple weeks. Carolina is first in the NFL in stopping the run (ypc allowed). Kansas City has been struggling to run so far this year, and Jeremy Maclin is out which hurts the passing game.

The Chiefs have been winning games because of their insane positive turnover margin of plus 13 on the year. That isn't going to continue. Turnover luck regresses to the mean almost all the time. Kansas City is a good team, but they aren't as good as their record would indicate.

Cam Newton has been taking care of the ball much better in the last few contests, and I see him continuing to get better as the season goes along. He should get some more calls too with the increased attention on how the officials call or don't call penalties on hits on Newton.

This is more than a fair price to lay. Lay it with the home team here.

Take Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
