12-18-23 | Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 238 | 104-130 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
Over 238 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, we get the (16-9, 14-11 ATS, 9-4 AWAY) Dallas Mavs taking on the (17-10, 11-15-1 ATS, 10-2 HOME) Denver Nuggets. We’re backing this over here as we get two teams who love to play with a ton of tempo. Both teams sit near the top in the NBA in pace and this one should be a shootout. Dallas comes in averaging 120 points per game while conceding 118. This month especially they’ve been involved in plenty of high scoring games, which includes last time out where they won 131-120. They’ve eclipsed over 120 points in 4 of their last 5 games as they aren’t shy about pushing the issue. Denver will have a field day with this Dallas defense. The Nuggets continue to be one of the best offensively with the amount of weapons this team has. The Mavericks issues on the defensive end come from allowing quick and open shots in transition. The Nuggets can get out and run and they’re one of the best at shooting the 3 ball. Both teams are playing well coming into this game overall. Doncic and Jokic both are playing at a top level and their teams feed off their energy. The Mavs are a top 7 team on O this year. #1 in 3-pt-attempts, and #12 in 3-pt shooting, so to help them win games and cash this over we need the 3 to drop tonight. With Joker obviously the Nuggets don't need to rely on the shots from DTown, but they're a slick passing team #2 in assists, and really create scoring opps. with their passing. Injuries: Irving/Kleber will be OUT, Holmes is (?) for Dallas, for DEN: Murray, Gordon and KCP are all (?), but I think all 3 play. Trends, the OVER has hit in 6 of the Mavs' L7, and in 12 of their L15 on the road, and in 4 of their L5 vs. WEST teams. The Over has also hit to the tune of 8-1 in the Mavs L9 when playing on 1-days rest, and it's 6-0 in the Mavs L6 following a straight up win by more than 10. Last time they met these two put up 239 points on 11/3/23. (That went over the 230 total) Dallas' combined total last game out was 251 vs. PDX. Denver's last game was a 118-117 loss to OKC hitting 235. Expect points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-18-23 | Eagles -3 v. Seahawks | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 23 m | Show | |
Eagles -3 In Week 15 of Monday Night Football, it's a clash between the Eagles (10-3, 6-4-3 ATS) and the Seahawks (6-7, 6-6-1 ATS) at Lumen Field. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. The opening odds for this showdown Moneyline (ML): Eagles -205, Seahawks +172, and Against the spread (ATS): Eagles -4.5 (-105). Worth noting, the initial spread has shifted, and we now have the Eagles at -3. In their recent outings, the Eagles suffered a tough loss to the Cowboys, falling 33-13, while the Seahawks, with Drew Lock at QB, covered the spread as 16.5-point road underdogs in a 28-16 loss to the 49ers. The Seahawks are hopeful for Geno Smith's return on MNF. Looking at the history between these two teams, this Monday's game marks their 20th meeting, with Seattle holding a 12-7 advantage. Week 12 of the 2020 season was their last matchup, Seattle won 23-17. The line has dropped due to the Eagles' recent struggles against the Cowboys and 49ers. However, they previously defeated challenging opponents like the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Bills. Facing Seattle's struggling defense, which ranks poorly against both the run and pass, presents a promising opportunity. Seattle, on a four-game losing streak, has also faced strong teams like the Niners, Cowboys, and Rams. This matchup offers potential for the Eagles' offense to shine. Listen you know I'm a Seahawks fan, and the Hawks haven't lost to the Eagles in the PC era but this is a strange year, and I just don't trust the Seahawks team any longer. I just can't for the life of me see them winning this game on Monday night. So...I'm playing the Eagles -3. Trends, Eagles are 10-3 SU L13 games, and are 9-2 SU L11 vs. NFC teams. Hawks are 1-5 SU L6, 1-4 SU L5 vs. NFC teams, and are 1-6 ATS L7 in December. This won't be a blowout by any means, but Lumen Field isn't as tough to win for road teams as it used to be and Phili is a much better team than Seattle is. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-18-23 | Bulls v. 76ers OVER 227.5 | 108-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
OVER 227.5 At 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA its the (10-17, 12-14-1 ATS 3-10 AWAY) Chicago Bulls taking on the (18-7, 10-3 HOME, 18-7 ATS) Philadelphia 76ers tonight. The 76ers routinely score over 123PPG. The Bulls routinely score over 115 PPG (even without LaVine). The public is on the UNDER in this one. We're going to ZIG when the Public Zags even though the last two times these teams have met we've seen the UNDER hit. 3/22/23 was the last game 116-91 PHI. Drastically different looking team from that game, compared to what we're seeing L10 games for each team in this season. Philadelphia is playing at such a high level right now. This offense has been the best in the NBA as of late as they’re just torching opponents. Coming into play here, they have put up performances of 131, 125, 146, 129, 124, and 135 during this win streak. They’re just simply overwhelming the opposition with their speed, inside presence, and their ability to open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Overall this year they sit near the top of the NBA, putting up 123 points per contest. The Bulls are going to have to pick up their tempo to match in this one. Chicago has shown glimpses of what their future looks like as this younger team put up 124 just a couple of games ago. They’re going to get torched on defense and will have to pick up the pace to try and match the 76ers intensity. This has the makings of a game where the 76ers setting the tone and pace, which the Bulls will try to match it, favoring us. Injuries: LaVine, Craig OUT, Caruso (?), Phili is healthy. Trends, for the 76ers the OVER has hit in 8 of their L10, and in 7 of their L8 at home. For the Bulls the OVER has hit in 5 of their L5, and in 7 of their L7 on the road. Lastly, the Bulls have hit the OVER in 6 of their L6 games as a road DOG. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-18-23 | Western Kentucky v. Old Dominion UNDER 49.5 | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 4 m | Show | |
UNDER 49.5 WKU (7-5, 5-7 ATS) take on ODU (6-6, 7-5 ATS) at 2:30pm ET today in the Famous Toastery Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. In a game that nobody seems to want to watch or predict I'm going to weigh in with a play on the TOTAL. Backing the UNDER in this one. Reason #1. WK will have a frosh starting at QB who has thrown less than 5 career attempts in college football. The coaches kid. Turner Helton. Reason #2. WK's defense is actually pretty good. They've gotten the better of many a QB this season keeping completion rates down, and they cause turnovers (Top 20 in the nation in picks). They also get fumbles (Top 20 in the country). We're going to get a team that is well coached, but for this game they'll be undermanned due to all the player transfer portal and injury news coming from this team. I'm not overly impressed with ODU's defense to brag about it here, but what I do like is the fact their offense isn't good either. They scored 31 TD's all year. That's the 5th least of ALL bowl teams playing this bowl season. Weather high 50's 50% chance of rain, 10-15mph winds. Playing on a Monday afternoon is the most ideal situation for this teams. This has the makings of a sluggish game from the outset. Also, neither of these teams are going to light up the scoreboard. While the Hilltoppers averaged over 28 points per game this season, but now they have a backup qb going that has barely seen any sort of time under center. This offense is going to be slow and really try to work the run game in. That plays into our advantage as WKU will chew a lot of clock. On the other side, ODU is as slow as it gets offensively. They put up just 22 points per game and their defense only allows 26. This will be the kind of game runs dominate. Look for a slow tempo both ways and for these teams to put their main focus on sustaining drives. Trends, total has gone UNDER in 5 of ODU's L7, and in 4 of their L5 when they're the favorite. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NCAAF O/U Play |

12-17-23 | Ravens v. Jaguars OVER 41.5 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 15 m | Show |
OVER 41.5 This is a RARE 10* top play! On Sunday night, the Ravens (10-3, 8-5 ATS, 6-7 O/U) will be facing the Jaguars (8-5, 8-5 ATS, 7-6 O/U), kick off at 8:20pm ET from EverBank Stadium, in JVille, FL, watch on NBC. Sunday Night Football and I'm expecting a gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Both of teams have what we call in the industry "high octane offenses". Both can score quick and if you look at what the did last year it tells me we can expect more of the same this year. (28-27 final score). This upcoming matchup could very well surpass that high-scoring affair. The Ravens look of late like they have shifted their offensive strategy towards a greater emphasis on passing. It's working. They're showing us explosive big-play potential. Lamar averaged 11+ air yards per attempt vs. the Rams. This transformation has resulted in them scoring 31 points or more in 6 out of their last 7. Flowers, OBJ, & Likely are all HR hitters, and Lamar...well. At this juncture of the season, Jackson stands out as one of the NFL's premier performers. His impressive record now sits at 14-3 for December, making him the 2nd-most successful QB in the NFL since 2018. They're on top of their game as evidenced by the fact that 3 out of their last 4 games they've scored more than 54, and in 5 of their last 7 they've managed to go over 44. The Jags are quite familiar with high-scoring games as well. In their recent 4, they have consistently reached a total of 45+, and this pattern has persisted in 7 of last 9. Their D isn't what everyone thinks it is either. Allowing 24+ in their last 4. The last prime-time Jags game vs. the Bengals is just a taste of what this game will offer. So buckle up. It's going to be fun! Trends, Over has hit in 5 of Ravens L7, and OVER has hit in 4 of Jags L6 at home. The OVER has also hit in 7 of the Jags L8 in December. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-17-23 | Wizards v. Suns UNDER 246 | 108-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
UNDER 246 The Suns (13-12, 11-13 ATS, 2-12 AWAY) will be hosting the Wizards (4-20, 10-14-1 ATS, 6-8 HOME) at the Footprint Center this Sunday, with the game scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. ET in Phoenix, Arizona. When it comes to the opening odds here's what we've got: Moneyline (ML): Wizards +550, Suns -800; Against the spread (ATS): Suns -12.5; and the total, Over/Under (O/U): 245.5. In their recent games, the Suns suffered a 139-122 loss to the Knicks as 5.5-point home favorites, while the Wizards managed to secure a 137-123 victory against the Pacers as 8-point home dogs, putting an end to their 6-game losing streak. It's worth noting that Beal, one of the Wizards' star players, is sidelined due to an ankle injury for this upcoming game. Word is he'll be out a couple of weeks. The Suns have faced some challenges on their current homestand, losing 3 out of their last 4. Additionally, they haven't fared well against the spread, going 1-7 ATS in their L8 games. On the bright side, Phoenix has displayed solid defensive performance lately, allowing less than 116pts in 5 of their L6. They average 114PPG on D putting them at 16th in the NBA. They will also dominate the glass in this one taking away a ton of 2nd chance putbacks. They also lead the NBA in blocks! As an added bonus for this O/U play they've struggled on OFF failing to score more than 120 pts since Nov. 20th. Yes the Wizards have allowed 120+ in their L10, but coupled with the Suns defense I think this total stays UNDER 240 comfortably. You know what to do. The UNDER is 8-1 in the Wizards L8 Sunday games. WIZ are 0-6-1 L7 following a win which tells me they're not going to touch the Suns on OFF in this one. The last time these two met was 12/28/22 a 127-102 Wizards win, before that 12/20/22 a Wizards 113-110 win. Gordon will play today. Okogie/Beal are OUT. These two play UNDERS. Hop ON!

12-17-23 | Sharks v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Over 6.5 Probable Goalies: Blackwood (4-11-2, 3.67 GAA, 0.900 SV%) vs. Georgiev (14-7-1, 3.00 GAA, 0.896 SV%, 1 SO) In a matchup that pits two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, the Colorado Avalanche (18-10-2, 11-4 HOME), will clash with the San Jose Sharks (9-18-3, 3-12-1 AWAY)at the Ball Arena Sunday, face off at 8:00pm ET. Colorado's previous game saw them suffer a 6-2 defeat on the road against the Jets, a contest that left a mark. On the other hand, the San Jose Sharks are coming off a recent road loss, falling 1-0 to the Coyotes on December 15, a game that showcased their ongoing struggles. The Sharks and Avs both were active this week in acquiring players in trades as they’ll head into this one on Sunday with a couple of new faces. This has the makings of a high scoring game that should be played with a lot of tempo. The Sharks have been much better this month and their attack has been the difference. They have performances where they’ve put up 4 or more goals in 5 of the 7 games here in December. They’re playing much more freely and are putting pucks on net more and more. They’re taking on an Avs team that has been very inconsistent themselves on the defensive end. Colorado allowed 6 goals to Winnipeg last time out as they’re giving up goals in flurries at times. They’ve been bailed out by their offensive attacker though this season. Coming into play, they’re averaging 3.53 goals per game, which is up near the top of the NHL. These teams are going to play with a lot of up tempo and should produce scoring chances both ways. Look for a back and forth game here, with goal scoring chances coming a lot. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 5 of the Sharks L7, and in 11 of their L13 DEC games. PLUS the OVER has gone 4-1-2 in the Sharks L7 vs. Central teams. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-17-23 | Montana v. San Jose State -2.5 | 86-75 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
San Jose State -2.5 Montana (5-4, 4-2 ATS) take on SJST (6-5, 5-5 ATS) today, and we’re on the Spartans, laying the points here. San Jose State has been a different team when playing at home. They come in undefeated here in this spot after knocking off New Orleans with an 87 point performance. This Spartans team has found some offense as of late, but they’ve relied heavily on the defensive end this year. The Spartans are allowing just 69 points per game this season as they play with a ton of pressure. That number even goes down a bit when they’re playing at home too. They also have got themselves back on the health side. They will get G Trey Anderson back, who has been averaging double figures this season. The Spartans now will have 4 players averaging double digits and they’re going to get a lot of production from many different weapons in this matchup. With the revenge factor in play here, we’re backing the Spartans at home in this spot. Trends, UM come in 2-4 SU L6 on Sunday's, and SJST are 6-0 L6 @ home SU, and 4-1 ATS L5 on Sunday's.

12-17-23 | Cowboys v. Bills -1.5 | 10-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Bills -1.5 The Cowboys (10-3, 9-4 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) and Bills (7-6, 5-8 ATS, 5-2 HOME) will face off this Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium. The game is set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX. Buffalo seems to have hit their stride lately, and their recent triumph against the Chiefs appears to have saved their season. With 2 wins in their last 3 games, they've joined a 6-team tie for the last 2 AFC Wild Card spots. Their 20-17 victory over the Chiefs provided a much-needed morale boost. Allen had an impressive performance, amassing 233 PAYDS & 1 TD, likely boosting his confidence. I also have confidence in the Bills' defense this week. While Dallas boasts a potent offense this season, Buffalo's defense has been stepping up, and I expect them to do so again on Sunday. When playing at home, the Bills are a formidable force, securing 3 wins in their last 4 home games and covering the spread in 5 of their last 7 December games. In their recent matchups against the Cowboys, they hold a 4-1-1 record in the last 6. I've watched almost every minute of every Cowboys game this season and I'm here to tell you the loss of Hankins is a big, big, big deal. It gives the Bills run game a sliver of hope, and that's all they need in this one with such a tight spread. We all know the Cowboys have had an easy schedule... right? The Dallas offense has boosted its statistics by facing weak opponents and favorable conditions, and you know it's true, but it has only managed to score more than 23 points in a single away game out of its last 5, with the exception being the Panthers. I'm a believer that Allen will scramble all night long, as the Cowboys have for the most part contained run-games, but they haven't contained running QB's. It'll be in the game plan. Diggs will get back on track, and Cook and Gabe Davis will have bigtime impact games. Hopefully the weather is terrible too! Predicted High 40's 25% chance of rain. Trends, DAL 1-4-1 ATS L6 vs. BUFF, Bills 13-7 SU L20, 5-1 SU L6 vs. NFC, and 5-2 ATS L7 in DEC. Bills have won 2 straight vs. Big D. It's going to be 3. You know what to do. Hop ON!

UNDER 38 In Week 15, it's Chicago (5-8, 6-5-2 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) facing off against Cleveland (8-5, 8-5 ATS, 6-1 HOME) at Cleveland Browns Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX. The odds for this matchup are as follows: Moneyline (ML): Bears +148 | Browns -170, Against the spread (ATS): Browns -3, and the opening total, Over/Under (O/U): 37.5. The last time these teams met was on September 26, 2021, in Cleveland, where the Browns secured a 26-6 victory as a 7.5-point favorite. Over the years, they've clashed a total of 17 times since 2009, with the Browns claiming victory in 10 of those matchups and the Bears winning 7. Chicago has been on a roll lately, winning 3 out of their last 4 games. Their defense has been impressive, conceding 13 or fewer points in 3 of those 4 games. On the flip side, the Browns have been strong in both passing and rushing defense this season. However, they gave up 27 points and nearly 400 yards of offense in Week 14. This performance puts the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of Walker Jr, Harris, Smith, and Garrett. I anticipate a full turnaround from them this week against the Bears. Neither team is particularly good in the red zone (bottom 15 in the NFL), Neither average more than 22PPG, both are bottom 12 in the NFL in TOT Yds per game, and both are bottom 5 in TOT Yds per play. When it comes to passing stats, both are Bottom 8 in the NFL. Don't get me started on QB ratings. Trends, UNDER has hit in 5 of the L6 Bears' matchups, and we've seen the UNDER in 4 of the L5 Bears' games vs. AFC North teams. On the other side, the UNDER is 8-1-2 in the Browns' L11 home games, and the total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Browns' L5 vs. the Bears, 11 of their L16 vs. NFC Teams, and all 5 of the Browns' games vs. NFC North teams.

(11/06/23 111-97 win) New York with a record of (14-10, 12-10-2 ATS), are currently on the third leg of their five-game road trip, and they will be facing the Clippers (14-10, 11-13 ATS) at Crypto.com Arena, with tip-off at 10:30 p.m. ET. I don't know as of 8:10pm ET if Paul George is playing tonight but I trust the LAC enough to still get the job done tonight with or without him. The Knicks have played a ton of hoops of late, and they had to travel last night from Phoenix to LA after the game, sure not a big deal, but still, a deal, and now they get the Clips on a 6-game heater. This just smells rotten to me. Randle / Brunson / Barrett / Hart played a ton last night, they've played a ton this week, and the bottom has to fall out here at some point. So, George or no George the play is LAC -5.5 tonight. Trends, The Clippers have been outperforming their opponents by an average of 3.7 points in the last six games, plus, LAC are 8-0 at home as a 0.5 - 5-5 pt favorite, and are 4-1 ATS L5, plus they're 6-0 L6 SU, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Clips are winning first halves too (Covering by 3.7 PTS L6 games). (Side bet?) The NYK are 0-4 ATS in their L4 following an ATS win. Plus they're 5-15 SU in their L20 vs. LAC. You know what to do.

Edmonton -125 Probable Goalies: Bobrovsky (13-8-1, 2.56 GAA, 0.906 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Skinner (11-8-1, 3.04 GAA, 0.886 SV%, 1 SO) Edmonton (13-13-1, 9-5-1 HOME) is set to host Florida (17-10-2, 4-8 AWAY) at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Saturday. Puck drop is scheduled for 10:00 PM ET, with the game airing on ESPN+. In their previous outing, Edmonton suffered a 7-4 defeat at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 14th. Meanwhile, the Panthers also played away in their last game on Thursday, where they were shut out 4-0 by the Canucks.Edmonton has value at this price on Saturday night. The Oilers stumbled to the Lightning last time out in a 7-4 defeat (we backed the over in this!), but that doesn’t mean we can overlook them here. This team has been one of the hottest in the NHL and still have won 4 of 5 this month. Things are different in Edmonton since the coaching change as this offense is on another level. They just have so many weapons on the offensive end. After such a slow to the year, they’re now averaging over 3.5 goals per game. They take on a Florida team who has dropped back to back games and have failed to scored in either of those games. Momentum is on the side of the Oilers and they’re just more threatening on the offensive side. They can score in bunches, while the Panthers just don’t have the same attack. They average only 2.9 goals per game, which is a low mark in the NHL. The value sits with the Oilers in this spot. Last game out obiously didn't go the way Oilers G Stuart Skinner wanted. The loss snapped a 7-game win streak for him. He had held teams to 1 goal in 3 of his previous starts. He just had a bad night. He'll get back on track vs. Florida. The Panthers won't have an answer for McDavid on Saturday. Dude's on fire. McDavid is on an 11-game point streak with 7 goals and 20 assists in his last 5 games. Have fun with that. Trends, In recent matchups against Edmonton, the Florida Panthers have struggled, posting a 2-4 record in their last six games. Additionally, the Panthers have faced difficulties when playing on Saturdays, with a 1-6 record in their last seven Saturday games. On the other hand, Edmonton are 8-1 SU in their L9, and are 4-1 SU in their L5 games at home. I'm backing the home team on Saturday night in Alberta. You know what to do. Hop ON!

California +2.5 The (6-6, 6-6 ATS) Cal Golden Bears take on the (6-6, 5-7 ATS) Texas Tech Red Raiders in the 2023 Independence Bowl from Independence Stadium, in Shreveport, LA this Saturday at 9:15pm ET. We’re backing Cal in the Independence Bowl as they take on Texas Tech. When looking at this, there’s a few factors to consider. Cal is excited to be here. This team was 3-6 heading into their matchup with Washington State. They needed a defensive stop in a shootout to hold off the Coogs in a 42-39 win. They then had to go on the road to beat Stanford and UCLA to become bowl eligible. Winning 3 in a row, they come in hot right now and are going to have all the motivation to be in this spot. On the flip side, Texas Tech comes in with no momentum. They limp in after getting throttled in what will be their final meeting with rival Texas for quite some time in a 50 point loss. Cal’s offense is going to be a problem in this one. They finished their season with performances for 42, 27, and 33 in their victories. They’re clicking on all cylinders right now and take on a Tech defense that has struggled at times this year. This is a matchup where they can open the playbook up and cause a lot of issues for this Red Raiders defense both on the ground and through the air. Some trends, Bears are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 as an underdog of 0.5-3.0 pts. Plus, CAL are 4-1 ATS L5, and 4-2 ATS L6 games played on Saturday's! TT are 2-4 ATS L6, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Bowl games as a favorite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB Independence Bowl ATS Play |

UNDER 47.5 Denver (7-6, 5-7-1 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) and Detroit (9-4, 8-5 ATS, 4-2 HOME) will clash in a rare Saturday NFL matchup at Ford Field, going up against a slate of college football bowl games for ratings.

The Lions come off a 28-13 loss to the Bears on Dec. 10, while the Broncos secured a 24-7 win over the Chargers. In last week's action, Goff threw for 161 YDS, 1 TD, and 2 INT's for the Lions, while Wilson passed for 224 YDS, 2 TD's and 1 INT for the Broncos. Not overly stellar numbers for either QB. The Broncos hold a 9-5 record in 14 regular-season games dating back to 1971. Denver faces a challenging week, playing their third consecutive road game on a short week, despite winning six of their last seven games. On the other side, the Lions are highly motivated, eyeing a playoff spot in the competitive NFC. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Broncos L8, and the UNDER is 5-0 in DEN's L5 as a DOG, and is 7-0-1 in the Broncos L8 following a win of +14, lastly we've seen the UNDER hit in 4 of DEN's L5 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NFL O/U Play |

Creighton -7.5 The Crimson Tide (6-3, 4-5 ATS) are set to face the Bluejays (8-2, 7-2 ATS) at CHI Health Center Omaha on Saturday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 8pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX. We’re on Creighton here, laying the points. Returning home is just what this team needs right now. The Bluejays wanted to get out of Vegas so fast after the loss to UNLV, a game in which they didn’t have anything going on the offensive end. Returning home with this crowd is what they need. They have a chance to come right back with an impressive win against an SEC opponent. Creighton still has averaged 84.5 points per game which is nothing to look over. They need to get back to their roots of playing with tempo. They are at their best when they can push the issue and force the opposing defense into some tough spots in transition. The Crimson Tide allowed 92 points to Purdue last time out and they’re going to struggle against this offense. Letting up 77 points per game, they’ve been let down plenty by their defense, especially on the road. Creighton will come out with fire and take out some frustrations early here. Look for them to push the tempo. Trends, Bama are 0-5 ATS in their L5, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road, plus, they're 1-7 SU in their L8 against teams in the Big East. On the other side, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and they're 8-1 SU in their L9, finally, they're 6-0 SU in their L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-16-23 | UCLA -4 v. Boise State | 35-22 | Win | 100 | 103 h 55 m | Show | |
UCLA -4 The (7-5, 5-7 ATS) Cal Golden Bears take on the (8-5, 7-4-2 ATS) Boise State Broncos in the 2023 LA Bowl (hosted by Gronk) from SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles, CA this Saturday at 7:30pm ET. The Bruins have value here on Saturday against Boise State. Some may think UCLA underachieved this year and while that’s true, this team is still going to be happy to be here. The Bruins did take down rival USC in dominant fashion here in 2023 and now a bowl win will be a bonus to end the season. Boise State is dealing with a lot of opt outs and injuries as well. The Broncos latest saw WR Eric McAlister transfer, leaving them another weapon down. This offense is going to struggle all night long here to move the ball as they simply do not have the weapons to keep up. The Bruins can lean on this defense too. They allowed just 18.1 points per game this season as they really fluster opposing defenses. They put together a lot of different blitz packages and force a lot of turnovers. They’re going to pin their ears back and come at this Boise State team, as they lack the weapons. Combine all this with this game being a home game for the Bruins with this played in California and they’ll have the crowd behind them. An added bonus is Gronk is expected to be in attendance. If that doesn’t get this team pumped, nothing will! Some trends BST 1-4 SU L5 vs. Pac 12 teams, 1-5 ATS L6 in DEC, and 1-5 SU L6 playing as a DOG. On the other side, UCLA 7-3 SU L10 vs. MWC teams.

12-16-23 | Steelers v. Colts | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
Colts PK (Or play the Colts on the ML, your call) The Steelers (7-6, 7-6 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) are set to face the Colts (7-6, 2-4 HOME, 8-5 ATS) on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network). In terms of opening sportsbook odds, the Moneyline (ML) has the Steelers at +105 and the Colts at -125. The ATS line favors the Colts at -1.5 (-110), although there has been a shift towards Pittsburgh. The total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 42.5. In their recent games, the Colts suffered a 34-14 defeat against the Bengals on Sunday, failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. Meanwhile, the Steelers are currently on a two-game losing streak, having lost 21-18 to the Patriots on Thursday, failing to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. The Colts are the move here on Saturday. This is a fade of Pittsburgh for a lot of reasons. Even with Kenny Pickett, they were playing on borrowed time as they were constantly outgained yardage wise. This team has struggled all season long and now they have Mitch Trubisky running the show. That doesn’t bode well for a team that is averaging just 16 PPG. They have had zero consistency and their inability to sustain drives has been the biggest flaw. They also come in off back to back tough losses to two sub par teams. The Cardinals and Pats have put them in tough spots as now this schedule doesn’t get any easier. Indy is right there as well in the playoff race with an identical 7-6 record. Despite struggling in Cinci last week, they still have a lot to build off of lately. Prior to that, they won 4 in a row and they are relentless on both sides of the ball. The difference here will be their ability to score. Before that loss to Cinci, they put up performances of 28 and 31 in two wins. Fade Pittsburgh in this spot. I don't Pittsburgh will be playing with the lead, and because of this they'll be throwing which at least plays into the Colts defensive strength. Trends, the Steelers are 6-12 ATS in their L18 in DEC. Indy are 4-1 ATS in their L5, 4-1 SU in their L5, and 4-2 ATS in their L6 when playing as the favorite. Colts are 6-4 in their L10 home games.

12-16-23 | Miami-OH +6.5 v. Appalachian State | 9-13 | Win | 100 | 99 h 25 m | Show | |
Miami OH +6.5 (Circa) I've had some good luck backing the RedHawks this season, and expect that trend to continue on Saturday when the (11-2, 10-3 ATS) Miami-Ohio RedHawks on the (8-5, 6-6-1 ATS) Appalachian State Mountaineers in the 2023 Cure Bowl from FBC Mortgage Stadium, in Orlando, FL this Saturday at 3:30pm ET. Miami OH is getting points here and it’s just too many to pass up on. They're looking for their 12th win which be only the second time getting this done. (The first was Ben Roethlisberger's team in 2003 that went 13-1). The Redhawks continue to be doubted and undervalued and they keep ignoring all of that and just winning. That was the case in the MAC Championship as they entered as 7 point underdogs and came away winners 23-14 in a game where their defense dominated. That has been the theme all year long for this Miami OH side as they are allowing just 16.2 points per game this year. During this 5 game winning streak, the most points allowed has been 16 and they even have a shut out to add to their resume. App State comes in on a low after Troy throttled them in the Sun Belt Championship. App State’s defense has been far too inconsistent this year and the Redhawks can certainly win the battle of possession. Look for this game to be a grind, which favors Miami. The Redhawks can dictate the possession and sustain drives, frustrating this App State side all night long. MIA-OH lost 24-20 to UAB in the Bahamas Bowl last year, while App ST. didn't play in a bowl game last season. Trends, M-OH are 10-2 ATS in their L12 games, are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played on a Saturday. Appalachian State are 1-6 ATS in their L7 in December, plus they're 3-10 ATS in their L13 when they're the favourite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB Cure Bowl ATS Play |

Jacksonville State -2.5 The (8-4, 8-3-1 ATS) Jacksonville State Gamecocks take on the (6-6, 5-7 ATS) ULL Rajin' Cajuns on Saturday at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA in the 2023 New Orleans Bowl. Kick off is at 2:15pm ET. Watch this one on ESPN. Jacksonville State has a lot of value in this spot. In Bowl games, motivation is everything. If you want one team that has all the motivation in the world coming into this game, then look no further. Jacksonville State is new to the FBS and this will be the first bowl game in program history. They got in on a technicality about there not being enough bowl worthy teams, but they won't care. They have a huge edge coaching wise too. Rich Rodriguez has seen plenty of bowl games throughout his coaching career as this will be his 12th bowl appearance. That holds a huge factor for us here in this spot on Jacksonville State. This team has played hard all year to get to this spot, as they finished with 8 wins overall. They averaged just 20 points against while putting up 28 as a team, as they play with a ton of pace. On the flip side, Louisiana will be playing in this bowl game for the 7th time in 12 years. The repetitiveness is going to play a factor for sure as this is no longer a special treat for them. Jacksonville State will lean on their defense, while this offense will open things up and take plenty of shots. We’re getting the better team at a nice number here. Jax State lost their regular-season finale 20-17 to New Mexico State. Meanwhile, the Ragin' Cajuns are headed to their 11th bowl game, becoming bowl eligible with a 52-21 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. Trends, ULL are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 following a straight up win. JVST are 4-1 ATS L5, and are 8-4 SU L12. Plus, they're 6-0 ATS in their L6 following an ATS loss.

12-16-23 | Canucks +101 v. Wild | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Canucks +101 Probable Goalies: Demko (15-7, 2.30 GAA, 0.923 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Gustavsson (7-7-2, 2.96 GAA, 0.903 SV%, 2 SO) Canucks (20-9-1, 8-6 AWAY) take on the Wild (11-12-4, 6-4-2 HOME) on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET (11am PT). Van City at plus money? I'm in. Sure they're my team, I'm a PNW guy, and before I had the Kraken to cheer for I had the Canucks, they've been my team for 40+ years. So you could say I know them. I haven't seen this type of chemistry from a Vancouver team since Trevor Linden captained the side (the first time). Vancouver can roll 4 lines, and they're getting top notch goaltending from both their guys. Yes, the Wild are at home, but Vancouver is on a roll. It's tough to stop a runaway train. Gustavsson will have his hands full, BUT he's been doing well of late, Gustavsson stands out as he's been on exceptional form by conceding two or fewer goals in his last 6 appearances. FLip it, and this is a nice line on the Canucks as they begin their road swing here. Vancouver sits at a lower line as the Wild come in on their own hot streak. However, the Canucks continue to be undervalued as this team is proving they can compete with the top teams in the NHL. Vancouver comes in winners in 5 of the last 6 this month as they’re doing it with good play on both sides of the puck. They’re winners in their last 3, while putting in 4 goals in each of those wins. The offense is putting up 3.83 goals per game, which is one of the best in the NHL. They have an edge offensively against this Wild defense. One of the flaws to this Minnesota team has been their inability to clear the zone. Because of that, they’re allowing 3.26 goals per game. They are going to have their hands full with this Vancouver attack, who loves to pepper the net. Miller 15G, 28A, Hughes 9G, 30A, Pettersson 11G, 27A, and Boeser 22G, 14A are all going to the NHL All Star Game at this pace. Demko could go too! 15-7 record. I'm expecting him to start Saturday. He shut out the Panthers on Thursday, but he's allowed only 4 goals during his win streak. Nucks do play the Hawks on Sunday, so there will be a split, but I think Demko gets the Wild. Last time the Nucks played the Wild, backup DeSmith got the shutout. This is a game where the Canucks are the valuable side. Back the better team at this kind of price. Trends, the Nucks are 5-1 SU L6, and 15-5 SU L20 vs. Western Conference teams. For the Wild, they're 0-5 in their L5 vs. a team with a winning % over .600, and they're 1-7 in their L8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I'm on the Nucks on Saturday afternoon, you should be too! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL ML Play |

Vikings +3.5 In Week 15, the (7-6, 7-4-2 ATS, 5-2 AWAY) Vikings face the Bengals (7-6, 4-3 HOME, 6-6-1 ATS) at Cincinnati's Paycor Stadium on Saturday at 1pm ET. Bengals -3.5 favorites, O/U 39. The Moneyline odds show the Bengals at -197 and the Vikings at +162. Nick Mullens vs. Jake Browning! Tell me that doesn't get you excited for some Saturday afternoon football. This feels like a last minute FG for the win type game doesn't it? The Vikings arrive after a 3-0 victory in the season's lowest-scoring NFL game against Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the 7-6 Bengals, led by backup QB Jake Browning, lost his debut but secured two wins against AFC South opponents, Jacksonville and Indianapolis. Head-to-head: The Vikings and Bengals have met 14 times, each team securing 7 victories. Stats, both teams boast middle-of-the-pack offensive stats, with MIN averaging 20.5 PPG and 341.5 YPG, while CIN scores 21.5 PPG and gains 314.2 YDS on average. On the defensive side, MIN has been more efficient, allowing just 18.6 PPG and 311.2 YPG, ranking fifth and tenth, respectively. In contrast, CIN's defense has struggled, conceding 22.1 points and 379.2 YPG, placing them 17th and 31st. That's where this game will be won by the Vikings. BLITZ BLITZ BLITZ, and Browning's head will be on a swivel the entire game. Minnesota's D is nasty when they want to be. NO TD's L2 games allowed. The fewest TD's in the NFL since week 6. Nick Mullens should do OK as well moving the chains here, just doing his job. The Bengals D scares noone. Trends, Minnesota are 6-1-1 ATS in their L8, are 6-2 SU in their L8 games, and are 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NFL ATS Play |

Kick off is at 11:00am ET. Betting lines favor Georgia Southern -3.5, with Ohio at +3.5, Moneyline odds Georgia Southern -169, Ohio +138, and an over/under of 49 points. In their latest matchup, the Eagles faced a tough defeat against the App State, falling 55-27. Meanwhile, the Bobcats secured a 25-14 victory against Akron. Sun Belt vs. MAC games are always exciting. Right? I'm on GASO in this one. When you see this list of names out for OHIO you'll realize why. Rourke, Harris, Bangura, Allison, Cross. All NOT playing in this one. Down to their 3rd string QB, and missing a couple 1000 yards of production from this past season. Georgia Southern boasts a potent offense, anchored by quarterback Davis Brin, who delivered an impressive regular season with 3,431 passing yards and 22 TD's. In the rushing department, Jalen White led the charge, accumulating 891 YDS & 9 TD's. They'll be in tough vs. an OHIO DEF. that was one of the better ones in college football, but bowl season brings us weird things on the field. Motivation is a massive x-factor for these games, and for my $, the motivation to win this matchup lies with GS. Their defense will do just enough to get them this cover. Trends, Bobcats are 2-4 ATS L6. GASO are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 Non-conference games. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 7* Myrtle Beach Bowl ATS Play |

Gonzaga +4.5 Gonzaga (8-2, 4-5 ATS) aims to extend a three-game home win streak vs. UConn (9-1, 6-4 ATS) at Climate Pledge Arena, in Seattle, WA on Friday. The game airs at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN2. Gonzaga is in a revenge spot here as they grab points in the Continental Tire Tip-Off. Last game out the Zags took down MS Valley 78-40, while UConn comes into this one off of a 101-63 blowout win over ARK-Pine Bluff. We’re backing the Zags for a couple of reasons here. Gonzaga was embarrassed in the Elite 8 last year at the hands of UConn. There are still some players around that haven’t forgot about that defeat. Gonzaga also has played an extremely tough schedule to prep themselves for this game so far. They come into this game with one of the most potent attacks in the nation. There are five Gonzaga players averaging double figures thus far into the season and they have the ability to score in flurries. Coming into play, they’re putting up 84.9 points per game. While their offense has been impressive, it’s really been the defense that has caused opponents issues. Gonzaga concedes just 65.3 points against and with some of the competition that they’ve faced, that’s quite the stand out number. This is the kind of game Gonzaga can use their speed and get out in transition. They can match the Huskies attack in every which way and they’re going to try and push the issue from the opening tip. We’re backing them with the points in a game they have a chance to win outright. Trends, Gonzaga are 6-1 SU in their L7, are 10-2 SU in their L12 vs. Big East teams, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played in December. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Blackwood (4-11-2, 3.67 GAA, 0.900 SV%) vs. Ingram (11-6, 2.55 GAA, 0.920 SV%, 2 SO) The San Jose Sharks (9-17-3, 3-11-1 AWAY) head to Arizona to take on the Coyotes (13-13-2, 8-5 HOME) at Mullett Arena Friday, at 6 p.m. The Yotes come into this one losers of 4 straight. Sharks have won 3 of their last 4, and 6 of their last 9. Last game out, Ingram made 40 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Penguins. He's performed solidly with an 11-6-0 record, 2.55 GAA, and .920 SV% in 18 games. However, he's dropped his last 3 starts, conceding 12 goals on 98 shots, mostly on the PP. Before the recent break, Ingram played 9 consecutive games, going 5-4-0 with a 2.33 GAA. FOR SJS Counting on Blackwood in goal tonight. He saved 36 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets, proving himself as a #1 goalie. The Sharks have improved defensively and are playing much better hockey recently after a tough start to the season. I'm counting on the recent defensive efforts by both teams of late will come to the forefront in this one tonight. These teams are grinders, and they play hard. They're both in the bottom half of the league when it comes to scoring goals as well. Neither team his highly penalized, so hopefully we keep the whistles out of the refs mouths tonight and we play lots of 5-on-5 hockey.

UNDER 261.5 Friday contrarian play here! Wiz are allowing what seems like 140 or more every night, and the Pacers don't know how to slow down, so this total is sky-rocketing. (13-10, 13-10 ATS) Indiana Pacers take on the (3-20, 10-13 ATS) Washington Wizards tonight. 7pm ET from the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. The Pacers currently hold a 1-0 lead in the season series. In their recent games on Wednesday, both the Pacers and Wizards showcased strong offensive performances but struggled defensively. Indiana suffered a 140-126 loss to the Bucks, while the Wizards were defeated 142-122 by the New Orleans Pelicans. It's worth noting that Nembhard and Smith are unavailable for the Pacers, while Davis, Poole, and Shamet are also out for Indiana. All we need is one bad quarter and this will win for us. At last check this is the highest league total in NBA history, so I have to UNDER just to be against JOE Public. Trends, You won't find any. This is an anti-Public play! The line has moved so much in our favor I have to jump on this. I'm banking on the Pacers bench NOT going off tonight. If they stay "decaffinated" we have a chance to cash this. You know what to do.

Fading the Kings in this spot is a good move given their struggles on the defensive end. In terms of scoring statistics, OKC are one of the best shooting teams in the league, and Oklahoma City holds a slight advantage with an average of 120.4 points per game, ranking 9th in the league, while Sacramento trails behind with 116.3 points per game, ranking 16th. OKC will really get after it on the defensive end too, they're TOP 5 in the NBA in steals and blocks. Plus they don't turn the ball over much (4th). Sacramento is never going to be shy about the pace they play with. However, with that comes a lot of issues at allowing easy baskets the other way. They allowed 119 points in a loss to the Clippers last time out and overall they’re conceding 117 points per game. This doesn’t bode well at all when going against this Thunder team that is playing at a top level offensively. Oklahoma City’s last two performances have seen them put up 138 and 134 points. They also have a 126 point performance this month against the Mavs as well. It’s the playmakers this team has that is really going to make Sacramento struggle. Oklahoma City is one of the best in the NBA, with 120.4 points per game. They play with a ton of pace and have shot the ball as good as anyone. Look for them to overwhelm this Kings side in a game that’s a revenge spot from the in season tournament. Oklahoma City will lean on their youth to push the tempo and have the Kings struggling and on their heels all night long. Trends, OKC are 12-4-1 in their L17, 4-1 SU L5, 5-1-1 ATS L7 on the road, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Western Conference teams, and 4-1 ATS vs. Pacific Div. Teams.

The play for tonight in this one is OVER the total. In net, Skinner comes into this matchup finally finding his form. He has 7 straight wins after his rough start. He has a 1.70 GAA, and a .934 SV% in his L9 games. Vasilevskiy allowed 3 on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Vancouver. His 3 game win streak was ended. He has allowed 3 goals in 5 of his 8 appearances so far, and looks rusty. Tampa Bay has been about as inconsistent as you can find here to start the 2023 campaign. The good news for us is that either way they are conceding a lot of goals, or scoring a lot of goals. They come in off allowing 4 goals to Vancouver, as this season they’ve given up 3.53 goals against per game. That number is just too high and they facing an Edmonton team that is red hot right now. The Oilers have won 8 in a row and they’ve scored 3 or more goals in all their wins. This team is finally getting the production we thought they would this year and it’s coming from so many different players. Overall, Edmonton is averaging 3.5 goals per game and that number has been significantly higher during this winning streak obviously. Both of these teams do concede with the pace they play with too. With both sides allowing well over 3 goals per game on the defensive end, this has the makings of a high scoring affair. Expect end to end action with scoring chances both ways all night long. Trends, the OVER is 9-1-2 in the Bolts' L12 vs. Pacific teams. On the other side, the OVER is 4-0 in the Oilers L4 vs. Atlantic teams, 5-1-1 L7 home games, and the OVER has hit in 4 of the L6 games for Edmonton vs. Eastern conference teams. You know what to do.

Las Vegas is favored by 3 points, with a Moneyline of -161, while the Chargers are at +134. The over/under for the game is 33.5 points I'm not a fan of the spread on this one, but I'll likely look more into it in the AM and put it out as a 5* free play. My big play on this game is on the TOTAL. Looking at the UNDER. We've had some success this season betting unders on prime time games. Tell me again why the Chargers are dogs? The Chargers have averaged 21.7 PPG, ranking 15th, whereas the Raiders have scored 15.5 PPG, placing them 25th. In yardage, the Chargers average 334.3 YPG (17th), while the Raiders trail with 277.7 YPG (29th). In their initial meeting this season, the Chargers secured a 24-17 victory against the Raiders. With the point spread favoring the Chargers by -6.5. Not on my life can I back the OVER in this game. Some guy named Easton Stick at QB for LAC, they have no Allen, No Herbert, and then couple that with a Raiders offense that is going backwards (Less than 17PPG L4 games) and I'd be crazy to bet the OVER here. Chargers ran the ball 35+ times in G1, and that was with NO Ekeler in the game. RUN RUN RUN, clock moves! Rinse Wash Repeat! (Even better both teams' rush offenses are bottom 6 in the NFL, so they run, but they don't go anywhere...perfect) Trends, Chargers, the total points scored have remained below the mark, with 10 of their L11 and all 5 of their recent road games falling short. LV has also witnessed a pattern of low-scoring contests, with 5 of their L6 finishing under, and 4 out of 5 games against the Chargers displaying a similar trend. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL O/U Play |

12-13-23 | Creighton -13 v. UNLV | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
Creighton -13 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic. The tipoff for this college basketball matchup is scheduled for 9:00 EST at the Dollar Loan Center, and you can catch it on CBSSN. Now, let's talk numbers. The initial betting odds are as follows: Creighton is sitting at -1250 on the moneyline, while UNLV is the underdog at +740. When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. They’re simply going to overwhelm UNLV here in this spot. UNLV is not the team they’ve been in the past, as they come in off a loss to LMU. They have struggled from the field, while their defense has been far too inconsistent. That doesn’t bode well when they’re taking on one of the best offenses coming into play. Creighton will have a field day with this defense and they’re just going to come at UNLV at so many different angles in this game. I'm banking on UNLV being rusty too. UNLV haven't played for 10+ days due to the shooting on the UNLV campus. Trends, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 8-1 SU in their L9, lastly, Creighton are 4-1 SU in their L5 in December. Flip it, and UNLV are 1-4 ATS in their L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

OVER 149 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic.

When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. This moved all the way up to 151.5 on early sharp money, so it's dropping back down s where we see it now. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. (109 points? Are you kidding me?) The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. 15/31 last game out. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. Wednesday's are also very kind to Creighton and UNLV, must be their pre-game meals or something? The total has gone OVER in 5 of the Bluejays L6 Wednesday games, and in 4 of their L5 Wednesday games when NOT at home and for UNLV the total has gone OVER in 7 of their L8 WED. games. More trends, the OVER has hit in ALL 5 of UNLV's L5, and in 10 of their L11 December games. Plus 1 more for UNLV, the OVER is 7-0 L7 neutral site games. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-13-23 | Grizzlies +7.5 v. Rockets | 104-117 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Grizzlies +7.5 On Wednesday, Memphis with a 6-16 (9-13 ATS, 5-6 AWAY) record takes on Houston, who stands at 11-9 (13-5-2 ATS, 10-1 HOME), at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. The game is set to tip off at 8 pm ET. Memphis has value with the points here. This line keep creeping higher and higher as the PUBLIC hammers Houston. For the Moneyline (ML), the Grizzlies are at +220, while the Rockets are favored at -275. When it comes to the spread (ATS), the Rockets are giving up 7.5 points. The initial total Over/Under (O/U) stands at 213.5. These teams clashed earlier on November 23rd, and Houston clinched a convincing 111-91 win. Rewind to their last game last season and you'll remember the Grizz winning 151-114 on 3/24/23. The Grizzlies are currently on a two-game losing streak, falling short as +1 underdogs in their recent 120-113 loss to the Mavericks. On the other hand, the Rockets have won 3 straight. In their most recent game, a 93-82 W vs. the Spurs, covering the -9pt spread. IMO the Rockets are being a bit over valued in this spot. They come in off a good start to the season and winners of 3 straight, but this team still has a lot of question marks. They have been far too inconsistent to trust on the offensive end. Prior to this winning streak, they had a pair of 3 game losing streaks, as they have struggled to find any sort of consistent attack. They’re a younger team and their cold streaks shooting the ball tend to get magnified more. Memphis is a physical team that can cause a lot of issues. They will look to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. They can force tough shots and we’ve seen them force a lot of turnovers. This has the makings of a game where it’s going to be physical and close throughout. That will play into the favor of Memphis, who can lean on the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr., who is playing at a top level right now. Trends, Memphis are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games against Houston, plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. For Houston, they're currently 6-12 SU in their L18 against an opponent in the Southwest, and December hasn't been kind the last couple years to them. 4-9 SU in their L13 games played in December. Two bottom 5 offenses, against two top 10 defenses. I think this one will come down to steals, blocks and 3's. Memphis holds the edge in all. They'll keep this within the number on Wednesday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

OVER 222 7-14 (3-6 AWAY, 9-12 ATS) Hornets take on the 13-10 (5-4 HOME, 10-13 ATS) Heat in Miami tonight. Bang on the HEAT / HORNETS OVER 222 here. The Miami Heat have been showing signs of improvement, securing victory in three of their last five games. They are determined to maintain this momentum, especially after a hard-fought win against the Hornets on Monday. I'm expecting points. We're against the PUBLIC here. Both teams average around 113PPG, the Hornets though allow 121 PPG, the Heat 111 PPG. Both are bottom 15 in the NBA in FG%, and 3PT Attempts, and Miami has the advantage on the glass. The last time these two met was 12/11/23 and we a a 116-114 Miami win. (230 pts) Run-n-gun tonight. I think we'll see points from these two. Both are rested not having played since Monday. Trends, the total has gone OVER in Hornets 4 of L5, 6 of L7 when playing Miami in Miami, and 11 of their L16 vs. Eastern Conference teams. For the Heat, total has sailed OVER in 4 of their L6, and in 5 of their L7 when playing vs. Charlotte. Hop ON! Injuries. Ntilikinia, Ball, Williams for CHAR, and for MIA, Richardson, Adebayo, Herro.

12-13-23 | Bruins v. Devils -115 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
Devils -115 Probable Goalies: Ullmark (9-4-1, 2.71 GAA, 0.917 SV%) vs. Schmid (4-6-1, 3.03 GAA, 0.901 SV%) 18-5-3 (8-3-2 AWAY) Boston Bruins take on the 14-11-1 (5-6-1 HOME) New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. 7:30pm ET start time. The Devils are worth a move here in a game that is practically a pickem. New Jersey has been one of the most underwhelming teams in the NHL this season, but they’re starting to figure things out. Despite losing the final game of their road trip, they still cashed in 3 of their last 4. The Devils are starting to put together the offense that everyone was expecting to see. New Jersey is attacking and peppering the net much more, putting relentless pressure on. Boston is a physical team, but the Devils can match that. New Jersey is going to match up well here with a Boston team that has some gaps in their defense. This will be the kind of game where New Jersey is going to come out swinging early. The Devils play much better from in front and they have a new found attack that is aggressive. They’re going to push the tempo in this game, as Boston likes to try and play a slow game. We’re backing the Devils, who come home and will feed off this crowd energy. Some trends: Devils are 7-1 in their L8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and are 6-2 SU in their L8, plus, they're 5-2 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the Atlantic. On the other side, the Bruins are 1-4 in their L5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play |

12-13-23 | Boston University v. Dartmouth OVER 128.5 | 54-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 30 m | Show | |
OVER 128.5 7th in the IVY League Dartmouth (2-6, 3-6 ATS, 2-2 HOME) faces off against 3rd in the Patriot League Boston University (4-6, 3-4 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) Wednesday at 7:00pm ET at the Edward Leede Arena in Hanover, NH, and you can catch the action on ESPN+. The Big Green are slightly favored by 2.5 points. The initial total (O/U) over/under stands at 129. If you're looking at the moneyline, Dartmouth is at -143, while Boston U comes in at +118. The last time these two met BU won 67-59 on 12/13/22. Before that they met on 12/11/21 a 65-62 BU win. This is a low total and we should see both teams find success on the offensive side of the ball. Dartmouth has had games where they have turned things up a notch. They have allowed over 70 points per game this season and at times they’ve struggled to slow teams down in transition. Boston meanwhile has seen their games put up some points themselves. Their latest saw them put up 73 points in a win over Wagner. They have put up 70+ points in 4 of their last 5 games, which has been needed given their inconsistency on the defensive end. This has the makings of a game where both teams know they match up well with the opposing defense. Expect a game where physicality can also lead into some foul trouble both ways. That can give us some easy points with the clock stopped in a game that can see both teams reach the upper 60’s into the 70’s. Trends: The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's L6, and OVER has hit in 4 of BU's L5 games against an opponent in the Ivy League. For Dartmouth, the total has gone OVER in 5 of their L6 against an opponent in the Patriot League. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

12-12-23 | Red Wings v. Blues -125 | 6-4 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
Blues ML Probable Goalies: (Likely) Husso (8-4-2, 3.65 GAA) vs. Binnington (8-8-1, 3.00 GAA, 0.911 SV%) Tuesday in the home of the "Gateway To The West" its the 14-8-4 (6-4-1 AWAY) Detroit Red Wings taking on the 13-13-1 (7-4 HOME) St. Louis Blues in NHL betting action. Face-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO. Blues opened as -125 ML odds in this one. The O/U is set at 6. H2H record L10 between these two is owned by the Blues 7-2-1 averaging 3.70 GPG to DET's 2.40 GPG. Blues are 2-0-1 L3 vs. DET. Last time they met was 3/23/23 a 4-3 Blues Win. As I type this up the Wings are about to take on the Stars in Dallas. Then they have to grab a flight to St. Louis for a B2B with the Blues. Never an easy task. Reimer is starting on Monday night vs. Dallas. So no word yet on who they put in on Tuesday, likely NOT Reimer though. The Red Wings stand out with three goalies on the active roster, led by Husso's 14 appearances. For ST.L Binnington last started Saturday night in Chicago. He stopped 21/24 shots in a loss to the Hawks that he got no support in front of him. It's his 3rd loss L6 games. The Blues offense is to blame for his recent woes though, not him. Tuesday the Blues get a familiar team they've had some good success against recently in the Wings. This is a favorable matchup for him to regain his form and build some momentum. I believe the Blues are on the brink of a breakthrough. They're heating up, but the results haven't quite matched their performance. Being well-rested and facing the Red Wings in a b2b situation WILL give them an advantage. In their recent 2 losses to Columbus and Chicago, the Blues outshot their opponents 82-46 but only scored 3 goals while conceding 8. 6 of their next 8 are in St. Louis, so some home cookin' should do the trick here to get them back on track. Against the Red Wings, the Blues hold a 4-1-1 record in their recent 6 matchups and have earned points in 13 of the last 15. Trends: Blues are 7-1 L8 vs. Eastern Conference teams, and 4-1 L5 vs. Atlantic Div. teams. You know what to do here! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play |

Mavs +4.5 The Lakers (14-9, 12-12 ATS, 4-7 AWAY) and Mavs (14-8, 12-10 ATS, 6-4 HOME) are facing off in Dallas, TX at the American Airlines Center this Tuesday. The game kicks off at 7:30 pm ET and will be televised nationally on TNT. The initial NBA odds for this Lakers vs. Mavericks Moneyline (ML) show the Lakers at -130 and the Mavericks at +110, while the spread (ATS) favors the Lakers by -2 points, with a total Over/Under (O/U) set at 235. The Mavs are leading the series this season with a score of 1-0, and in that game, Luke scored an impressive 30 points. Dallas is currently on a hot streak, having won their last three games. On the other hand, the Lakers secured a 123-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers, claiming the 1st-ever In-Season Tournament championship on Sunday. This win marks their fourth consecutive victory. Taking a look at the injury report, Hood-Schifino and Vincent are confirmed OUT for LA, while the Mavs' injury situation remains uncertain. Kyrie is unavailable for tonight's game, and Grant Williams is expected to return, with Luka being questionable. Additionally, Hardaway Jr. and Jones Jr. are questionable, while Green and Kleber are OUT. Despite the odds, I'm sticking with my Mavs play. Historically, Dallas has dominated in 8 out of its last 10 against LAL, boasting an impressive 8-1-1 ATS record in their last 10 overall vs. LAL. I'm making a move NOW on the Mavs +4.5. I don't know if there will be a letdown for the Lakers coming off of the IST but I'm going to assume LeBron and AD's minutes are dialed back. Sure, Dallas played last night, but they've also been winning (So have the Lakers I know I know), I just think the value is with the Mavs on Tuesday night. Trends, Lakers 1-9 ATS in L10 vs. DAL, 1-6 SU L7 vs. DAL, 1-5 ATS L6 when playing IN Dallas. For Dallas, 4-2 ATS L6, 4-2 SU L6, 9-2 SU L11 in DEC. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Duke -15 Duke (6-3, 4-5 ATS) aims to keep their five-game home winning streak alive as they take on Hofstra (6-3, 4-4 ATS) Tuesday at 7:00pm ET at Cameron Indoor Stadium. You can catch this game on ESPN. The betting odds have the Blue Devils as the favorites by 15, with the over/under set at 146.5. Duke laying the points here is the move on Tuesday. This is by far the toughest competition Hofstra has faced here in 2023. They have had one of the lighter schedules in the NCAA and they’re not going to be up for this challenge. Duke has been dominant at home against sub par teams and they match-up well in every facet. The Blue Devils returned home and blew Charlotte out of the water and this game should be a similar case. Duke is averaging 81 points per game, while conceding just 65.9 on the season. This team overwhelms the likes of Hofstra with their ability to push the tempo and turn defense into offense.Hofstra doesn’t have the weapons to keep up in this one. Duke is going to dominate with their pressure and force Hofstra into turnovers. This game is just too lopsided and laying the points is the move. Trends, Hofstra are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. ACC teams. On the other side Duke are 16-4 SU in their L20, 19-1 SU in their L20 at home, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 versus CAC teams. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Dolphins -13 In Week 14 on Monday Night Football, we've got Tennessee (4-8, 5-7 ATS) facing off against the Dolphins (9-3, 8-4 ATS) in one of 2x MNF matchups. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. The early Moneyline odds show Titans at +550 and Dolphins at -800 (proceed with caution!). Looking at the spread, Dolphins are favored by -13 (-110), and the initial total (O/U) is set at 47. In their recent outings, the Titans came up short against the Colts, losing 31-28 as 1-point underdogs, while the Dolphins cruised to a 45-15 win over the Commanders, covering as 9-point road favorites. This marks the 40th meeting between these two, with Miami holding a 21-18 edge. Their most recent clash was Week 17 of 2021, Titans dominated 34-3 victory. It wasn't even a contest to be honest. Over their last 10 games, Miami holds a 6-4 record. Huge spread here in 1 of the 2 MNF games this week. But I'm never afraid of a huge line. Last time we played one like this we had the Cowboys a couple weeks ago, and it cleared easy. This is a fade on the Titans for a few reasons. For starters, this team has just battled so many key injuries, it’s been near impossible to overcome. The Titans have Levis running the show at QB, who just isn’t going to overpower anyone. Now, Henry may miss this contest and without him, this offense stands no chance to keep up with the Dolphins offense. Miami is averaging 32 PPG and they’re doing it with so many different weapons. They strike as quickly as anyone and they aren’t shy about throwing teams off with a little tempo. The Titans have been a disaster on the defensive side and they’re going to have their hands full with this Miami attack. This is just a lopsided game whichever way you look at it. Miami’s defense even is near the top in the league, allowing just 22 points per game. They’re going to have Tennessee on edge all night long. Plain and simple the Fins are the better team here, and I just don't see a path for a Titans cover. No way, no how! Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-11-23 | Mavs -1.5 v. Grizzlies | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Mavs -1.5 The Mavs are in a revenge spot here. Dallas (13-8, 11-10 ATS) gets to enact this revenge against the Grizzlies (6-15, 9-12 ATS) on Monday night after their 108-94 loss on December 1st. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. Dallas is the favorite by 1.5 points against the Grizzlies, and the over/under is set at 226 points. These are two completely different teams thus far into the season despite that game. Memphis is just 6-15 on the year as they have had zero consistency. They have put up just 106 PPG, which is one of the worst in the league. They’ve just been far too inconsistent to trust. They don’t have a big time player who can step up and they’re going to be overwhelmed with this Mavs side. Dallas has won back to back games and they’ve looked impressive in doing so. They put up 147 on Utah and 125 against Portland as they can go off at any moment. This team is built with playmakers and they can open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Dallas is going to come at Memphis from a lot of different sides here, giving them a ton of value at this line. Dallas just matches up well with this Grizzlies team. Dallas covered the spread in seven of the last nine meetings and has done so in the past five games at Memphis. The Grizzlies are also banged up on the player front. LaRavia, Smart, Kennard, Adams, Clarke are all out. Plus Morant is still suspended (until DEC 19). Trends, Mavs 7-2 L9 vs. the Grizz, and 5-0 ATS L5 on the road vs. Memphis. 8-2 L10 in DEC too! Grizz 6-14 L20 SU, and 1-9 SU L10 at home. Not an easy task here on Monday night. I'm backing the Mavs. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

Magic -2 (13-9, 9-13 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs are in Orlando On Monday to take on the Magic (15-7, 16-6 ATS, 10-1 HOME). 7pm ET tip-off from Amway Center, in Orlando FL. Orlando has the value in this spot. The Magic stand among the elite defensive teams in the league, allowing an average of 109.6 PPG, which ranks sixth as of games played on Friday. Simultaneously, they maintain the 13th-best offensive performance in the NBA, scoring an average of 114.5 PPG. They’re getting production all around right now. Recent Meetings: 12/6/23 121-111 CLE, and 4/6/23 118-94 CLE. Stats: PPG ORL 13th 114.5 | CLE 22nd 111, DEF ORL 6th 109PPG | CLE 7th 110PPG. Both top 10 at FG%, Orlando the better defensive team causing havoc too with more steals and blocks per game. On the glass both teams fairly close. The Magic have come out of the gates firing and they have been the biggest surprise in the NBA so far. They have 15 wins, which included a 9 game winning streak as well. They dropped back to back games but bounced back in a big way after beating Detroit last time out. The Magic have found success with their ability to push tempo on teams. They just fell to the Cavs last week in a game where they just dug themselves too early of a hole. Orlando is going to come out with a purpose here. Combine that with the Cavs still not at 100% health wise and Orlando has plenty of value. They have played extremely well at home this year and catch the Cavs in a good spot on Monday. Trends: Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, plus, they're 9-3 ATS L12, 10-2 SU L12, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Eastern conference teams, and 5-1 ATS vs. Central DIV teams. This is a bad spot for the Cavs on Monday. The value lays with the Magic. Give the points. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

76ers -11.5 Monday night the (3-18, ATS, AWAY) Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers (14-7, ATS, HOME) Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. H2H Phili owns a 3-0 record L3 these two have played. 12/6/23 131-126 @ WASH, 11/6/23 146-128 HOME, and 3/12/23 HOME 112-93. Philadelphia comes into this one against Washington just on a different spectrum than the Wizards. Washington is 3-18 on the year and they have been getting beaten up time and time again here in 2023. The latest was a 27 point loss to the Nets. Prior to that, they allowed 131 points to this Phili side. Washington has given up 125.3 points per game, which is one of the worst in the league. They allow opposing teams to get so many easy looks at the rim and in transition. The 76ers are in the midst of playing some good ball themselves too. They’ve won back to back games and in those two performances they’ve put up 131 and 125 points. The 76ers are going to have their way on the offensive side in this matchup, while forcing Washington into some tough shots on the defensive end. This is just a case of two teams going in total opposite directions. Trends: Wizards are 1-13 SU L14, 5-14 SU L19 vs. Phili, 2-17 SU L19 on the road, and finally they're 2-14 SU L16 when playing on the road vs. Phili. On the other side, Philadelphia are 4-2 ATS L6, 14-6 SU L20, and are 14-2 SU L16 when playing at home vs. Washington. Don't overthink this one. Phili will win by 15+. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-11-23 | Coyotes v. Sabres UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 41 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Connor Ingram (11-5, 2.52 GAA, 0.92 SV%, 2SO's) vs. Devon Levi (4-4-2, 3.27 GAA, 0.891 SV%) Both of these clubs are bottom 15 in scoring in the NHL, and in shots on goal per game, so I'm expecting good goaltending and scoring chances to be limited on Monday night. The Coyotes (13-11-2, 5-6-2 AWAY) take on the Sabres (11-14-13, 5-7-1 HOME) in Buffalo, NY. Puck drop is at 7pm ET. The Yotes GK Ingram kicked out 24 of 29 shots in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday. Ingram also surrendered four markers in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday. While Ingram is working through a rough patch, he's been fairly consistent this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rebound. He's been in the zone for most of the season. So I'll cut him some slack here. It has been a dream season thus far for him, who has taken over the #1 spot with the Yotes. Meanwhile, Arizona experienced a shift in momentum after their impressive five-game winning streak, as they faced back-to-back regulation losses. In the other net, last game out Levi made 29 saves Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Habs. Levi has been sharp since his call-up from the AHL. The Sabres have a home record of 5-7-1 this season, which places them near the bottom of the league in terms of home points. But I'm expecting Levi to start. He's been HOT. 60 saves L63 shots. Trends, The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Buffalo's L9 vs. the Yotes, and the UNDER has hit in 8 of Buffalo's L10 IN Buffalo, and lastly, we've seen the UNDER in ALL of the Sabres last 5 games when playing at home against the Yotes. Last one, the UNDER is 7-1 in Sabres L7 games on 1 days rest. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Arizona's last 8 games against an Eastern conference teams. These two play again on Saturday, but for this one on Monday. HAMMER the UNDER. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL O/U Play |

12-11-23 | Delaware -4.5 v. Robert Morris | 73-69 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Delaware -4.5 Monday night it's the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens (5-3, 5-2 ATS) taking on the Robert Morris Colonials (2-7, 4-4 ATS). We’re backing Delaware here on Monday night when they head into Robert Morris. The Public is also pretty heavy on DEL in this one. Looks like 67% to 33%. Robert Morris has been atrocious to start the season and a lot of their issues have come from the offensive end. They are putting up a mere 68.6 points per game as they’ve struggled mightily from the field. Their inability to attack the rim has been the biggest flaw and it’s not opening any sort of shooting lanes for their outside threats. Delaware averages nearly 10 points higher and they’re coming in with a lot of confidence. They took down an impressive Xavier team, on the road last time out. They're shooting the ball at a 47.2% clip, which is also nearly 7% higher than this Robert Morris team. They're holding opponents to a 42% shooting %. Delaware has the advantage in every facet here. They’re going to frustrate this Robert Morris team from the start with their physicality and ability to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. I'm not sure RM will have an answer for Jyare Davis. He's 83rd in CBB putting up 18.1 PPG. Colonials are 2-2 in home games and are 2-4 in close games decided by less than 10. Trends, Delaware are 5-2 ATS L7, 9-4 SU L13, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and are 7-3 L10 in December. Robert Morris are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and are 1-6 SU L7. Get on board with the Hens tonight! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

12-10-23 | Eagles +3.5 v. Cowboys | 13-33 | Loss | -105 | 42 h 58 m | Show | |
Eagles +3.5 The Eagles (10-2, 6-3-3 ATS) and Cowboys (9-3, 8-4 ATS) are set to face off in a Week 14 divisional showdown this Sunday night, with kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Let's take a look at the opening odds for the Eagles vs. Cowboys matchup. For those who like to bet straight up, the moneyline shows the Eagles at +145 and the Cowboys at -175. On the spread (ATS), the Cowboys are favored by -3 points (-120), and the initial total Over/Under (O/U) stands at 51.5 points. Dallas is coming off a Thursday night win over the Seahawks, but they didn't cover the spread, winning 41-35 as -9.5 favorites. Meanwhile, the Eagles had a tough outing, losing 42-19 to the 49ers on Sunday. They seemed exhausted, having played three games in the last 10 days. They are a solid 5-1 on the road and being undervalued a bit after getting knocked around by the 49ers. Hopefully, they've had some much-needed rest before this Sunday night clash. The Eagles had their impressive 5-game winning streak snapped, and in the longstanding rivalry between the Eagles and Cowboys (played 129 times, with Dallas leading 73-56), the Cowboys have won the last 5 games at AT&T Stadium. Earlier this season in Dallas, the Eagles managed to defeat the Cowboys 28-23. The Eagles and Cowboys rivalries in the past have produced some fun games. This one, is going to be quite the show as they battle on SNF with a lot on the line here. The Eagles and Cowboys are in the midst of two amazing seasons as they prepare for battle in this one. Philadelphia has proven they can go on the road and win in hostile environments already as they came from behind against the Chiefs earlier this year. One thing for sure is that this Eagles team does not lose in bunches. They are going to lean on their ability to strike with the big play. Philadelphia ranks 9th in the NFL in total offense and 4th in total points scored. They have the most dangerous weapons and they should be able to pick apart this Dallas secondary. Philadelphia's defense ranks 4th in the NFL against the rush and they are going to be hungry to bounce back after last week's performance. Trends, Eagles are 4-1-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 12-2 SU L14 on the road, and 9-1 SU L10 vs. NFC teams. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-10-23 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Nebraska | 70-77 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Michigan State -3.5 The 4-4 (3-5 ATS) Michigan St. Spartans take on the 7-2 (5-4 ATS) Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday at 6:30pm ET at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. MST have won 10 in a row in this series. (7-3 ATS) averaging 80PPG to NEB's 65PPG over these 10. We’re backing the Spartans here, at this number on the road on Sunday. The public is going after Nebraska, who is 7-2 coming into play, but this is a game the Spartans matchup very well. Nebraska has struggled to cover the spread in their past three games as they head into their Big Ten home opener. There’s no beating around the bush with the start Michigan State has had to the season and how it’s been rocky. However, they’ve been playing a tough schedule and this is the kind of game where they can get momentum. Tom Izzo challenged his team to be tougher after their loss to Wisconsin last time out. This Spartans side is going to come out motivated more than ever here on Sunday. Nebraska has regressed after their undefeated start, losing back to back games to Creighton and Minnesota. They have struggled offensively in the losses, putting up just 65 and 60 points. They’re going to get a much more physical Spartans team here on Sunday too, which will result in another struggle from the field. Their most recent encounter took place on February 28 in Lincoln, with Michigan State emerging victorious with a score of 80-67. They not only won the game but also covered the 4.5-point spread, and the total score went over the set line of 138.5 points. Expect more of the same today. Trends, Michigan State are 8-3 ATS in their L11 games against Nebraska, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 games against Nebraska, also Sparty are 5-0 SU in their L5 games when playing on the road against Nebraska. I am confident that Michigan State wins this game. Meet me at the window! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-10-23 | Bills v. Chiefs -2.5 | 20-17 | Loss | -110 | 116 h 15 m | Show | |
Chiefs -2.5 In the NFL showdown happening this Sunday, it's Buffalo (6-6, 4-8 ATS) facing off against Kansas City (8-4, 7-5 ATS). The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET at GEHA Field in Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO, and you can catch it on CBS if you can't be there in person. When it comes to the moneyline (ML) wager, the Bills are sitting at +130, while the Chiefs are favored at -155. Looking at the spread (ATS), the Chiefs have a -3-point advantage, and the initial Over/Under total is set at 48. Buffalo has the historical edge, leading the all-time series 28-24-1. KC had a tough loss on Monday Night Football, falling 27-19 to Green Bay. Despite the shorter week, they're accustomed to the MNF road game, travel, and Sunday home match routine. On the other hand, Buffalo had a week off following their Week 12 overtime loss to the Eagles (37-34). The Bills have had a bit of a rough patch, losing three out of their last four games. We all know this line would be -7 if we knew Taylor Swift was attending...and you know it. I'm on the Chiefs at home on Sunday. There's been some good matchups between these two in past years, (BUF has won 2/3) but that's just it, it was in past years. The Chiefs while coming off a loss to GB (I think) are better than last year, they just don't show it every week. But this is a big game. At home, they'll have home cookin' here, and I don't think the Bills have the horses to keep up. Andy just has too many weapons. It's not like the Bills are overly healthy on defense either. Trends, Bills 1-7 ATS L8 games, 2-4 SU L6 games, 3-6 ATS L9 vs. KC. Bills are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game. Chiefs are 7-0 ATS in their L7 games following a ATS loss, plus, they're 16-4 SU in their L20, and are 9-2 L11 vs. AFC East teams. Back the Chiefs and lay the points. Smile at the window. Hop on!

12-10-23 | Devils v. Oilers -148 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Oilers -148 Probable Goalies: Schmid (4-5-1, 3.03 GAA, 0.902 SV%) vs. Skinner (10-7-1, 3.03 GAA, 0.888 SV%, 1SO) Late Add, I obviously don't "LOVE" the -148 here, but this is a small play on a HOT team, so it is what it is. On Sunday at 4:00 PM ET, you've got the Oilers (11-12-1) taking on the Devils (14-10-1) in Edmonton, and you can catch it on ESPN+. The Oilers are coming off a nice 4-3 win at home against the Wild on Dec. 8, and they'll be looking to keep that momentum going. Skinner made 17 saves out of 20 shots in Friday's 4-3 victory against the Wild. While he has had stronger performances recently, the Oilers' top line and power play stepped up to provide him with the necessary support for his sixth consecutive win. During this winning streak, he has allowed a total of 11 goals. Skinner's impressive streak has solidified his position as the team's No. 1 goaltender. Bouchard scored twice to help the Oilers extend their winning streak to 6. McDavid dazzled with a goal and an assist against Fleury, extending his eight-game streak with three goals and 15 assists since November 24th. Meanwhile, the Devils are also riding high after a 4-2 victory on the road against the Flames on Dec. 9. There's no disputing this is a matchup of two hot teams. Hischier scored two goals, and Vitek Vanecek delivered one of his best performances in a while. This victory marked New Jersey's sixth win in their last 7. Playing the second half of a back-to-back is always challenging, and it becomes even tougher when it occurs at the end of a three-game-in-four-nights stretch. Adding to the difficulty is facing a more rested opponent, which puts NJ in a demanding situation in this game. Trends, New Jersey are 2-5 SU in their L7 when playing on the road against Edmonton. Edmonton are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games, plus they're 5-0 SU L5 at home. Lastly, Edmonton holds a 7-4-1 record in home games and an 11-12-1 overall record. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-10-23 | Vikings v. Raiders +3 | Top | 3-0 | Push | 0 | 116 h 15 m | Show |
Raiders +3 In this Week 14 matchup on Sunday, the Vikings (6-6) and the Raiders (5-7) are set to clash at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV, with a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff (FOX broadcast). Let's break down the odds: The Moneyline shows the Vikings at -134 and the Raiders at +118. The ATS (Against the Spread) line favors the Vikings at -1.5 (-115), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at a total of 40.5 points for all the gamblers out there. In their previous game, the Vikings suffered a tough 12-10 loss to Chicago and failed to cover the 3-point spread. However, they maintain a decent 4-2 road record this season. On the other side, the Raiders last took the field on November 26, losing 31-17 to the Chiefs. Despite dropping 4 of their last 6, it's worth noting that they faced some formidable opponents. Furthermore, the team hasn't given up under interim coach Antonio Pierce. If you watched the last Vikings game you have to be wondering how they can lay 3 against any team in the NFL right now. I'm certainly scratching my head here. They do welcome back JJ this week. Raiders come in rested off of a bye, 2 weeks to gameplan, and the Vikings certainly don't present an offense like that of the Chiefs and Dolphins gauntlet the Raida's just went thru. This game should be the battle of the #1 WR's. Adams vs. Jefferson, and on the defensive side it will be Hunter vs. Crosby. My X-factor is going to be O'Connell. This game will be his 6th start. 4 TD's and 6 INT's so far. He has to stretch the field here to give Jacobs room to run. I think he will. Some trends, this matchup is even over the L10 games (5-5 ATS each), Raiders lead series all time 10-6. 5-2 at home. Minnesota are 2-5 SU in their L7 when playing on the road against LV. I'm on Vegas. Grab the points and smile at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. RARE 10* Sunday NFL TOP PLAY |

12-10-23 | Rams v. Ravens -7 | 31-37 | Loss | -110 | 114 h 36 m | Show | |
Ravens -7 In Week 14, Baltimore (9-3) is set to take on the LAR (6-6), with both teams aiming to extend their recent winning streaks. Here are the key numbers to consider: The opening NFL betting odds show the Moneyline (ML) at Rams +240 and Ravens -300, while the Against the Spread (ATS) line has the Ravens at +7 (-110). The Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 43.5. Weather could be a factor today. High 50's, 88% chance of rain, and 6-8mph winds. The Rams are coming into this matchup on the back of a three-game winning streak, which has helped them secure the 8th spot in the NFC with a 6-6 record. Meanwhile, Baltimore had a bye week in Week 13 but had won two consecutive games leading up to it. They currently stand at 2nd place in the AFC. The Rams aren’t as good as their record may indicate. While they took care of business last week, it was against a Joe Flacco led Browns team that certainly isn’t going to overwhelm anyone. The Rams are running into a Ravens team who will be battling for the top spot in the AFC and that comes in off a bye. Harbaugh has been electric off bye weeks and this Baltimore team is well rested now. The extra week gave Lamar Jackson a chance to get himself to 100%, which will spell a lot of troubles for LA. The Rams are also battling injuries themselves. Nacua is listed as questionable and even if he goes, the Rams other top wide out isn’t going to be at 100% himself. Baltimore is going to overwhelm the Rams, who come across country for an early start time. The Ravens offense will have a field day and Jackson will be a problem with both his arm and legs on Sunday. Trends, Rams 2-4 ATS L6, 0-4-1 L5 vs. Ravens, 1-4 SU L5 vs. Ravens, and 3-10 SU L13 on the road. On the other side the Ravens are 6-1 SU L7, and 10-4 ATS L14 games. Lastly, Ravens are 7-0 SU L7 vs. the NFC. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

12-10-23 | Lions v. Bears +3.5 | 13-28 | Win | 100 | 113 h 24 m | Show | |
Bears +3.5 These two met a couple weeks ago when the Lions were 7-2, and the Bears were 3-7 at Ford Field. Lions won by 5. For this one, I didn't quite get +4, but I'll take +3.5 with a little extra juice on Sunday for Chicago. IF you can get -110, GOOD for you! This number should only go the other way by Friday/Sat. In Week 14, the Lions (9-3) are facing off against the Bears (4-8) this Sunday. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL, and you can catch it on FOX. For those looking to bet, the Moneyline (ML) odds are as follows: Lions -196 and Bears +164. When it comes to the point spread, it's Lions -4 (-110), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 45. Weather will be a factor today. Mid 30's, 93% cloudy, low chance of rain, but its going to be cold. 10-15mph winds. The Bears have been showing some signs of improvement, winning 2 of their last 3 games, and they're coming off a bye week in Week 13. In their last outing, they secured a narrow 12-10 victory against the Vikings in a rather gritty contest. But one that was REALLY REALLY BORING! Meanwhile, the Lions have been on a roll, winning 4 out of their last 5. They recently handled the Saints in New Orleans, coming out on top with a 33-28 W and covering the 3.5. Detroit is starting to see some regression and this is not a good spot for them. The Lions fast start to the season has started to come back a little bit as this team is struggling in a few areas. The main concern coming into Sunday is their red zone abilities. They rank 30th in the NFL inside the red zone and they’ve started to turn the ball over a lot lately. The Bears aren’t any kind of pushover either. They come in off a win over Minnesota as their defense has come up big in a few games this year. Off a bye week, this is a revenge spot for them against Detroit. The well rested Bears are going to put up points against this Lions defense, that has given up 28 and 29 point performances over the last two weeks. Chicago are 4-2 ATS in their L6. Bears have the #3 rush offense, if they can control the "TOP" they give themselves a great chance here. Bears haven't beat the Lions since 11/25/21 a 16-14 win. I expect the same type of score in this one, unsure if Bears win outright, but they'll keep it within the number. Meet me at the window. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-09-23 | Gonzaga -3.5 v. Washington | 73-78 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 50 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -3.5 For many years (06-15) these two in-state schools never played each other. I'm glad we've gotten to see this matchup nearly every year since. It's a great rivalry. They've played a few times of late so we have some history to look back on. The last matchup was 12/9/22 a 77-60 Zags win, before that, 12/8/19 a 83-76 Zags win. The 6-1 (0-0 AWAY, 4-3 ATS) take on the UW Huskies 5-3 (3-1 HOME, 4-3 ATS) on Saturday. We're on the Bulldogs here in the last game on the board Saturday night. Gonzaga has been on a tear offensively as of late. They've covered their last two games as they've put up performances of 89 points and then 111. They rank 13th in the entire nation with 87.3 points per game and they're doing it with plenty of different scorers each night. The Bulldogs sit 11th in the country in field goal percentage and they're going to overwhelm this Huskies side. Washington hasn't faced much tougher competition this season and they have struggled with 3 losses. They are one of the worst in the nation on the defensive side of things as they have struggled to slow teams down both in the paint and from behind the arc. Gonzaga should be able to dictate a lot here. They're going to play with a ton of pace and put a lot of pressure on this Washington defense from the start. The Huskies have struggled to close out on shooters, which won't bode well when they're facing a team as dangerous as the Bulldogs in this spot. Trends, Dawgz are 0-5 ATS L5 games following a SU win of 20+, and are 0-6 ATS L6 when playing at home against Gonzaga. On the other side the Zags are 5-0 SU L5, 9-1 ATS L10 vs. UW, 7-0 SU L7 vs. UW, and finally the Zags are 7-1 SU in their L8 on the road. You know what to do. Back the Zags ATS. Hop on!

12-09-23 | Hurricanes v. Canucks +114 | 3-4 | Win | 114 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Canucks +114 Probable Goalies: (Both Unconfirmed, but likely! LOL) Raanta (6-4, 3.33 GAA, 0.863 SV%) vs. Demko (12-7, 2.46 GAA, 0.917 SV%, 2SO) Hurricanes (14-11-1) vs. Canucks (16-9-1) Fresh off a solid 2-0 win over the Wild the Nucks hope to recapture their early season form. For the Canes' Coach this is the annual Rod Brind'Amour comes home game. Family and friends welcome the Vancouver Island boy back to British Columbia. Only this time he's going to be playing a Canucks team (that we picked the other day) that really needs a win to get their early season run back on track. The Canes are in a slump. (In fact Rod B said "I'm at a loss for words, We're on our way to lose 50-0 right now" after the Oilers game) Losers of 3 in a row, and Rod's men aren't playing good hockey right now. The Canes enter this one in 14-9-1 while allowing 3.21 GA per game, tied for 15th. I'm banking on their bad fortune continuing tonight on Saturday Night in Canada. The home crowd will be fired up for this one, and there will be a TON of energy in the building. The Canucks are currently midway through a challenging homestand, and they are about to face a string of tough opponents in the Stanley Cup contender category. They badly want to show that they belong. Boeser remains the NHL goals leader with 18. J.T. Miller has 4G and 8A over his last 10. Canes likely won't have Andersen, and Svechnikov for this one. These teams split last year 1-1. This is Carolina's 3rd game in 4 nights. Throughout their history, the Canucks have held a record of 40 wins, 31 losses, 11 ties, and 1 overtime loss against the Hurricanes. Notably, they have been strong on home ice with a record of 24 wins, 12 losses, 6 ties, and no overtime losses. DeSmith started last game for VAN, I'm expecting Demko tonight. (DeSmith has allowed 4G in each of his L2 starts, and Nucks need better. Demko is the man this year! He has won 3 of his last 4, and I love the nice save %, and GAA. Trends, Carolina are 1-4 SU in their L5, and are 2-12 SU in their L14 games when playing on the road against the Canucks. Canucks 9-3-1 at home, +33 scoring differential. L10 games average Canucks allowing 2.8 GPG, CAR 3.4 GPG. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL ML Play |

12-09-23 | Pacers v. Lakers UNDER 243 | 109-123 | Win | 100 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
UNDER 243 Ok I'm finally getting off the couch and picking something on this game. I can't just watch this game tonight. So this is a 7* play. NOT huge $ on it, but enough to sprinkle in to have something to cheer for. I'm liking the 243 number. Hope you can find that at your book. A whopping $500,000 is at stake for each player on the winning team in this game! It's like a sweet incentive for professional athletes to bring their A-game to the court! This time, it's Indiana (12-8, 12-8 ATS) facing off against the Lakers (14-9, 11-12 ATS) in the In-Season Tournament Championship. The action is set to kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight. Opening odds: Moneyline (ML): Pacers +150 | Lakers -178, and Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -4 (-110), with the total, Over/Under (O/U) set at 243. These two squads haven't crossed paths yet this season, but they did split their series 1-1 back in the 2021/22 season. Now, let's dive into how they made it to this championship showdown. The Lakers showed their dominance with a commanding 133-89 victory over the Pelicans Thursday, marking their second-highest scoring performance of the season. Meanwhile, the Pacers pulled off an impressive upset, winning 128-119 as 5.5-point dogs against Milwaukee. I'm steering clear of the spread this time, even though I'm leaning towards the Pacers. They've covered the spread in three consecutive games. However, it's tough to go against LeBron and the Lakers, who have also covered the spread in their last three outings. In terms of injuries, keep in mind that IND will be missing Nembhard and J. Smith, while LAL's Vincent is also out. These two have both played some UNDERS of late, so that's my lean 100%. I'm expecting the Pacers depth to really be tested here. Apart from their starters not a lot of dudes can score. The key to the Lakers winning the NBA CUP tonight lies in their strong defense. They have recently held 4 out of their last 5 to 107 points or fewer, showcasing their defensive prowess. With their length and defensive abilities, they have the capability to effectively contain Indiana and secure victory. (I know IND can score, just not tonight) Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Indiana's L6 when playing on the road against the Lakers, I only put that in here (Neutral court) because we all know this will feel like a LAL home game.Just like the NOP game did) The total has gone UNDER in 8 of LA's L12, and finally the total has gone UNDER in 9 of the Lakers' L13 games against Indiana. You know what to do. Hit the UNDER tonight. I'm at 235-239. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play |

12-09-23 | Senators v. Red Wings -117 | 5-1 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Red Wings -117 (CIRCA) Probable Goalies: Korpisalo (5-6, 3.40 GAA, 0.897 SV%) vs. Lyon (4-1, 1.61 GAA, 0.947 SV%) On Saturday at 7:00 PM ET, Detroit (14-7-4, 8-3-3 HOME) will be facing Ottawa (10-11, 2-3 AWAY) at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. In their recent games, Ottawa suffered a 4-3 loss at home against Toronto on December 7. Before that they had won 2 in a row. Detroit, on the other hand, had a tough match on the same day, losing 6-5 in overtime against the Sharks at home. Wings blew a 4-goal lead in that one. Husso was in the pipes for that matchup, and we're thankfully NOT seeing him in goal on Saturday. Expecting Lyon, in fact he's confirmed. He's the #1. These two met on Nov. 16th, and Sens won 5-4 in OT, but that was before Lyon had made his Wings initial start. Lyon has won 4 straight, so we're getting great value here on him and the Wings. Sens can score, sure, but they'll be in tough on Saturday. Wings need this win. Huge bounceback spot. Lyon has only given up 5 goals on 120 shots in his L5. You have to love that 1.61 GAA. We just need the DET offense to get going here, like they did when they won 5-2 in OTT on Oct 21. Wings are #2 in the NHL in GPG, and now they have Kane too. If he can find some goals DET will be dangerous. DET has a better save % too .900% to OTT's .896%. Trends, DET 5-1 L6 vs. a team with a losing record, 5-1 L6 SAT games, 4-1 L5 playing on 1-days rest. On the other side OTT are 2-4 SU L6, 2-9 L11 on the road, and the SENS are 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Eastern conf. teams. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play |

12-09-23 | UCLA v. Villanova OVER 127 | 56-65 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 60 m | Show | |
Over 127 Saturday the 5-2 (3-3-1 ATS 0-0 AWAY) UCLA Bruins take on the 6-4 (5-5 ATS, 3-1 HOME) Villanova Wildcats. We're backing the Over here in one of the more interesting matchups on the board Saturday. Both of these teams are underachieving to start the season, there is no way around that. UCLA had to play against some top competition in the Maui Invitational, while Villanova continues to fall in close games. This is going to be a game where both teams look to be aggressive right from the start. A win here could bolster the resume for each team and the playmakers on each side will produce in this one. Looking at Villanova first, the Wildcats are putting up 74 points per game and they tend to play aggressive at the rim. That has resulted in them being 1st in free throw percentage in the entire nation. They can use their experience to pick apart this young UCLA team on the defensive end. The Bruins love to play quick and with speed with their youth. They are going to try and run in this one, resulting in a lot of quick shots in transition. We're going to see two teams, desperate for a win, push the tempo and attack the bucket. All signs point to the UNDER in this one, but you know me, when other zig, I like to zag, and I'm against the PUBLIC on this one. Hopefully we've got the value on our side, and at our backs. Let's go OVER Saturday. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

12-09-23 | Wisconsin v. Arizona -9.5 | 73-98 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Zona -9.5 (7-2, 1-1 AWAY, 4-4-1 ATS) Wisconsin visits (7-0, 5-0 HOME, 7-0 ATS) Arizona today. One of my favorite "west coast" teams going up against a stiff-test today in Wisconsin, but I'm fully expecting Zona's home court to be a madhouse today. Arizona is playing like one of the best teams in the country, if not the best and I'm on board for the ride. Wisconsin won't be able to hang here. Zona is a spread covering machine and I expect that to continue on Saturday. I prefer Zona's Tempo to Wisconsin's slow play. I think the Cats will play their game today, tons of running and excitement trumps boring slow play ball in my mind, especially in games at home. Zona can really get after it on the glass too. I know UW leads the all-time series 5-2, but that was then, this is now. This Zona team has 5 starters averaging double digits on offense, and 7'2" C Krivas is over 9PPG. They're deep. AZ 93ppg, UW 73ppg, PTS allowed AZ 62, UW 63, FG% AZ 7th in nation, UW 307th in nation. HUGE factor there. Arizona has the better defense too, they'll get their blocks, and cause havoc on D with their hustle, which leads to steals and fast break points. Trends, AZ are 7-0-1 ATS in their L8 following an ATS win, are 6-0 ATS in their L6 following a straight up win, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. They're also 5-0 ATS in their L5 vs. B10 schools. Wisconsin are 4-8 ATS in their L12 on the road. You know what to do! Meet me at the window! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

12-09-23 | Army v. Navy OVER 28 | 17-11 | Push | 0 | 141 h 46 m | Show | |
OVER 28 It's the annual clash between the Army Black Knights (5-6, 3-6-1 ATS) and the Navy Midshipmen (5-6, 4-6 ATS, 5th in the AAC), set to take place on December 9, 2023, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. 3:00PM ET kickoff, on CBS. Army is coming in as a slight favorite with a -2 spread, the Moneyline odds show Army at -131 and Navy at +111, offering some enticing options. As for the Over/Under, the initial total is set at 28. Navy's recent performance wasn't exactly stellar, suffering a 59-14 loss to the SMU Mustangs. In contrast, Army heads into this showdown with a sense of momentum, having secured a 28-21 victory over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Nov. 18th. I'm playing OVER the 28 just because the line is forcing me to play over the 28. I want action on this game, I hate the spread but the total is just begging me to play OVER. This Over is worthy of a move for a few reasons here on Saturday. It's obviously low for a reason, but these two offenses always tend to pull out the trick plays and open the playbooks when they meet. These two teams tallied 37 points last season and they come in with the ability to put up some numbers. Army games averaged 43 points per game, while Navy's sat at 41. These two teams had the ability to strike for some big runs, while allowing big plays on the defensive side of things. Navy's defense comes in after allowing 59 points in their final game against SMU, which will knock their confidence here. This is one of those games where patience will be key. Both teams will establish their run games, but look for more passing than you'd expect. We're going to see a wide open game, with both Army and Navy taking their chances. Navy has scored, 14, 10, 31, 18, 6, 14, 27, 30, 24, and 24 points in their L10. That's a 21.8PPG average for those not great at the Maths. Army has scored 28, 17, 23, 14, 0, 0, 24, 16, 37, and 57 in their L10. That's a 23.6PPG average for Army. On defense Army allows 22PPG, and Navy allows 23PPG. Last year in this matchup Army won 20-17 in OT. (O32) In 2021, we saw a Navy 17-13 scoreline (U35.5), and in 2020 the final score was 15-0 Army. (U36) Here's a brief history of the Army-Navy matchup: The series between these two teams has been continuous since 1930. As of their last meeting in 2022, Navy holds the lead in the series with a record of 62 wins, 54 losses, and 7 ties. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Army's L4 games. Plus, the Over is 6-1 in Black Knights L7 vs. a team with a losing record. The total has only gone OVER in 2 of Navy's L5. You know what to do! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sacramento -1.5 11-8 (10-9 ATS) Sacramento takes on 12-9 Phoenix (9-11-1 ATS) Friday night. The Kings have value here, laying the small number on the road. We’re backing the healthier team. The Suns have been battling injuries all season long and now they are missing key pieces coming into this one on Friday. Phoenix will be without Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Grayson Allen. All 3 are just too much to overcome. This Kings team plays with such pace, they’re going to be far too much for the depleted Suns. Sacramento has no problems scoring as they are one of the best in the league when it comes to scoring in bunches. They have so many weapons and their ability to play with speed is going to put too much pressure on the Suns. Booker can only do so much and Sacramento will push the issue from the start. With the injuries, the Suns just don’t have enough in this spot. Sacramento are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games. Some trends, Sacramento are 8-4 ATS in their L12 vs. Suns, and are 5-1 ATS in their L6 games when playing on the road against Phoenix. Plus, they're 8-2 L10 Friday games. Suns are 1-4 ATS L5, and are 0-5 in their L5 games played in DEC. Back the road team on TGIF. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

12-08-23 | Warriors v. Thunder -2.5 | 136-138 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
OKC -2.5 As always waiting a little while on NBA this year, just can't make a lot of tough calls until we know more about each team, and read up on the news of the day. Tonight at 8pm ET from OKC its the Thunder (13-7, 9-12 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) hosting the Warriors (10-11, 14-5-1 ATS, 6-4 HOME). I wanted to lock in OKC at -3, I waited just a tad longer and now I'm really happy at -2.5. Make no doubt about it I'm a MASSIVE SGA fan, and what he's doing on the court of late is jaw-droppingly good. He's bringing the entire organization along with him. It's not easy being a life-long Sonics fan and having to see what OKC is doing, but there's no disputing this team this year, the tides seem to be turning in the western conference and OKC is going to be in the conversation. Stats: OKC 6th in PPG, GSW 12th, PTS Allowed OKC 9th, GSW 19th, FG% OKC 4th, GSW 25th. Steals/Blocks OKC TOP 5, GSW NOT Top 20. Trends: Warriors are 0-4 ATS in their L4 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Also, GSW are 4-8 ATS in their L12, 4-9 SU L13, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. OKC, and 1-5 SU L6 on the road. For OKC, they're 11-3-1 ATS in their L15, 8-3 SU L11, 6-1 ATS L7 at home, and 7-1-1 L9 vs. WEST teams. Paul is (?), Payton II OUT for GSW. OKC is healthy. Last time they met it was 130-123 in OT on 11/18/23 for OKC. You know where I'm going. Give the points on TGIF. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

SIXERS -9 LATE ADD: I just can't let this one go. Sixers opened -6.5, now I'm getting them at -9 (so I'm late to the party, but ATL have NO YOUNG! So, I'll bite. In the upcoming matchup, Atlanta (9-11, 5-15 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) is set to face Philadelphia (13-7, 13-7 ATS, 7-3 HOME) at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. These teams clashed once already this season, with Philadelphia prevailing 126-116 in Atlanta. The Hawks are currently on a 2-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat being a close 114-113 loss to the Nets. On the other hand, Philadelphia put an end to their 2-game skid by defeating the Wizards 131-126 Wednesday. It's worth noting that Young will be sidelined, making this an injury-driven choice. Considering Atlanta has covered in just one of their last 10 games and holds a 0-4 ATS record in their last 4 road games, the Sixers seem like the logical pick here. The Hawks also rank 26th in the NBA in defensive rating, which could pose a challenge against Embiid and company. PUBLIC heavy on Sixers in this one, because, well they're the SIXERS. The Sixers have Maxey, and that's all I need here to have a happy cover. Trends: Atlanta are 0-5 ATS in their L5, are 1-4 SU in their L5, are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Phili, and 1-4 ATS L5 on the road. Flip it, and the Sixers are 13-7 ATS in their L20, and are 13-6 SU L19, plus they're 7-1 SU vs. Southeast DIV teams. Go on and give away the points, meet me at the window! Hop on!

EMU +5 7pm ET on Friday from the George Gervin GameAbove Center in Ypsilanti, MI we get the 5-5 (8-2 ATS) Oakland Golden Grizzlies taking on the 5-3 (4-2-1 ATS) Eastern Michigan Eagles. We’re on the Eagles here, grabbing the points at home. This is a pretty even matchup overall and we get the Eagles in a spot where they play well inside this building. Eastern Michigan is a perfect 3-0 at home this season with wins over Georgia Southern and Cleveland State in that mix. The Eagles have won 4 of their last 5 and have all the momentum right now coming into play. They are allowing just 73 points per game as they’ve been dominating on the defensive end. They’re turning games into a grind and forcing the opposition into an uncomfortable pace. Oakland has dropped back to back games and they’re struggling to find consistency. This will be the kind of game that is slow developing, which favors EMU. The slower the pace, the more of advantage we get with the Eagles. They’re going to put a lot of pressure on in this one and force Oakland into some uncomfortable situations. Trends, Oakland are 1-6 ATS in their L7 vs. EMU, and they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 games vs. MAC Teams. They're also 1-6 L7 Friday games. On the other side, EMU 4-1-1 ATS in their L6, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. They're also 6-1 ATS in their L7 against Horizon conference teams. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-07-23 | Devils v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 34 m | Show | |
OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Vanecek (9-5, 3.60 GAA, 0.877 SV%) vs. Daccord (3-4-5, 2.92 GAA, 0.898 SV%) The Devils (12-10-1) will be taking on Seattle (8-12-6) team at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington on Thursday, December 7th, with the puck dropping at 10:30pm ET. You can catch the action on ESPN. This matchup marks the second game of the Devils' road trip out west. Their journey began with an exciting 6-5 win over Vancouver earlier this week. On the other side of the ice, Seattle wrapped up their trip to the east with a 4-2 loss to the Habs. New Jersey and Seattle will produce a lot of fireworks on Thursday night. New Jersey may be the most underachieving team behind the Oilers this season. Good news for us, that stems a lot from how bad their defense has been. Coming into play, the Devils are conceding 3.78 goals per game which is one of the worst marks in the NHL. However, they’ve weathered the storm a bit thanks in large part to them averaging 3.70 goals themselves. This team plays with so much pace and they can score goals just as quickly as they give them up. The Kraken have been right there defensively with them. Allowing 3.42 goals per game, Seattle has struggled with giving up multiple shots per possession. This has the makings of a game that will turn into a track meet. Expect plenty of back and forth action, with both teams looking to pepper the opposing net. An early goal will open so much up in this game. Vanecek has been unable to get into that #1 goalie groove so far this year so I prefer him in net Thursday over Schmid. This is a good thing IMO. For Seattle, Daccord has been hard to trust as well, especially if you're a Kraken gambler. He's 1-4-4 in his L10, allowing 28 goals. Trends, the total has gone OVER all 5 of NJ's recent 5 games, and the total has gone OVER in 5 of New Jersey's last 6 on the road, and lastly, the OVER has hit in 9 of NJ's L11 against Western Conference teams. On Seattle's side the OVER has hit in 12 of their L17 matchups. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play |

Lakers -115 This week in Las Vegas, the Lakers (13-9, 10-12 ATS, 7-3 L10) will face off against the Pelicans (12-10, 13-8-1 ATS, 6-4 L10) at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament. New Orleans opened as 3-point underdogs. For those betting on the moneyline, LA is at -115, while NOP stands at +105. The oddsmakers anticipate a close contest with an over/under set at 229.5. (Opened at 230). I'm paying the extra $5 to get the ML odds on the Lake Show. I'm good with -1 (-110 too) if you wish. Totally up to you. The Lakers look like they are a totally different team this season. They are going to feed off a Las Vegas home court advantage for starters. The LA faithful will no doubt make the trek to Sin City for a long weekend of hoops and gambling. They're overall game, and their defense is playing at a really high level right now. They are allowing opposing teams to shoot just 45 perfect from the field. New Orleans has looked much different in their road situation, as they have struggled on the road going just 4-6. I know this is a neutral court, but it'll be heavy LA, I'm pretty sure. As a team overall, they have struggled to slow teams down. They rank just 17th in the NBA in total defense and this Lakers side has far too many weapons for them to keep up with. This is going to be the kind of game where Los Angeles can push the tempo on New Orleans. The Lakers are playing at a high level right now, while the Pelicans are just trying to find consistency on their end. I'd like to make the case that the inaugural NBA In Season Tournament has been a resounding success. It's injected a "win and you're in" excitement into important games, creating a unique viewing experience. The different court aesthetics have added to the enjoyment. Overall, a big thumbs up to the NBA. Hop on & meet me at the window! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ML Play |

12-07-23 | Patriots v. Steelers OVER 29.5 | 21-18 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
OVER 30 Thursday night we get another snoozefest of a football game in the NFL. (I'll be watching NBA tournament tonight in case you're wondering!) It's the (2-10, 2-10 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) New England Patriots taking on the (7-5, 7-5 ATS, 4-3 HOME) Pittsburgh Steelers. Odds opened with the Steelers at -6.5, it's now -5.5. The O/U opened at 32.5, it's now 30. I sat on this for the longest time, as you know I usually lock in plays for NFL early in the week. But I kept coming back to this one. 30 is an exceptionally LOW total for an NFL game. I'm of the opinion both teams will have more offensive success than expected. My fingers are also crossed for some quick scores or maybe some red zone turnovers. Hell even a defensive TD will help the cause here. I know the Patriots just got shutout, but how often does that happen in the NFL? The weather was the main reason there. Is the Steelers defense really that formidable? I don't think so, and therefore I'm expecting some offense tonight. We’re on this Over on TNF as the Pats and Steelers battle it out. We get a lower total here and the public continues to pound this under. Obviously we have two teams who aren’t known to light up the scoreboard, but there’s a couple situational angles here on this total. Pittsburgh is going with Mitchell Trubisky, who does have some success in his past. With Pickett down, this is his chance to lead a team to a potential playoff spot and prove his worth. He did toss a TD in the loss to Arizona, a game in which Pittsburgh allowed 24 points. The Steelers defense has regressed a bit from their start this season. They have struggled at times with allowing the big play and the Patriots are going to find some success here with throwing the ball. New England has been a mess defensively themselves. The rain aided them last week, but they won’t slow teams down. Pittsburgh will run all over them and set themselves up for many scoring chances. The Steelers / Patriots rivalry has been played 34x (5 playoff), Steelers have won 16, NE 18. Last 5 matchups. 9/18/22 NE 17 PIT 14 in PITT, 9/8/2019 PIT 3 NE 33 in NE. 12/16/18 NE 10 PIT 17 in PIT. 12/17/17 NE 27 PIT 24 in PIT. Last one, 1/22/2017 PIT 17 NE 36 in NE. Injuries of note: Pickett (PIT), N. Harris (?) (PIT), Stevenson (NE) Weather: Low 40's 5% Chance of Rain, 5-7 mph winds. Trends: You won't find any.

The action faces off at 8 pm ET in Capital One Arena, Washington, DC, and you can catch it on ESPN. The opening odds for this game show the Stars at -135 on the (ML), while the Capitals are at +110. When it comes to the Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS), the Stars are at -1.5 (+180), and the Capitals are at +1.5 (-225). The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 6 goals. Dallas is coming off a 5-4 loss as a road underdog against the Panthers on Wednesday, while the Capitals are on a 2-game losing streak after a tough 6-0 shutout by the Yotes Monday. The Caps have finally returned home after a lengthy road trip out west. Home Cookin'! They have played the better portion of their hockey at home this year. Washington matches up very well with Dallas. They can match the attack and aren’t afraid to play a physical game. Situationally, this makes sense on Washington too. they are going to bounce back after getting wrecked against Arizona last time out. The Caps are valuable at plus money here. Washington is at the benefit of getting the Stars on a back to back here. Dallas had to play a hard fought game against the Panthers on Wednesday that will certainly result in some fatigue here for them. Combine that with a couple injury issues and the Stars are in a bit of trouble. Tyler Sequin is likely out, which is going to take an away a big piece of this Stars side. We also get Wedgewood in net for the Stars in this one. He starts every 4th or 5th game it seems like for the Stars. CHECK. Long spells without game action is just what we want to see. For WASH Lindgren isn't a bad netminder, its just that Kuemper is better. Don't be surprised if Lindgren and Kuemper split the workload a little bit more here now seeing as how Lindgren can get the job done too. Trends, Dallas are 2-5 SU in their L7, on the other side the Caps are. Washington is going to rediscover their winning ways tonight. Things are just set up for them here. I expect a W from them. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NHL ML Play |

North Dakota State -2 In college basketball action, we've got North Dakota State (5-4, 3-4 ATS) facing off against Portland (5-4, 4-3 ATS) this Thursday at 8:00 PM ET. The showdown takes place at the Scheels Center in Fargo, ND. The Bison hold a slim 2-point favor over the Pilots, with the total points expected to reach 149.5. For those who prefer Moneyline bets, the odds stand at North Dakota State -137 and Portland +115. We're playing North Dakota State here on Thursday night. The Bison are going to pick apart this Portland defense here. Portland comes in allowing 78 points per game, which ranks in the bottom tier of the entire NCAA. The Pilots are giving up nearly a 40% rate to the opposition behind the arc as well, something NDSU is going to feed off of. The Bison come into play in this one, shooting at 38% from behind the arc, which is 44th in the nation. That ultimately will be the difference here. Portland struggles on the defensive end and will allow plenty of open looks. The Bison can create shooting lanes, while also attacking the paint. Portland simply doesn't have the speed to keep up. We're backing the better team, who is going to pick apart Portland on the defensive end. Trends, Portland are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-5 SU in their L5 on the road, lastly, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 in December. On the other side, North Dakota State are 7-0 SU in their L7 at home.

The Kings are the favorites with odds of -226, while the Canadiens are the underdogs with odds of +183. The over/under for this game is set at 6.5. The Kings are coming off a 4-3 road victory against Columbus in their previous game, showing some strength on the road. On the other hand, the Canadiens secured a 4-2 win at home against the Kraken in their last outing. In net, Talbot has had an outstanding season, performing as one of the NHL's top five goaltenders. In his last five games, he's allowed just seven goals out of 138 shots. Meanwhile, the Canadiens find themselves at the lower end of the rankings in terms of both goals scored per game and shots taken. For the Habs, Montembeault will start tonight. He's on a 3-game win streak, allowing just 7 goals on 94 shots (.926 SV%) over that stretch. LA can score (I know, I know) but I think this game will see some good defense being played. Just have to hope there's no cheap goals and that the refs keep their whistles out of their mouths. Some trends, the total has gone UNDER in 11 of LA's L14, plus the UNDER has hit in 4 of the Kings' L5 when playing on the road against Montreal, and in 4 of their L5 vs. Eastern conference teams. On the other side, for the Habs, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Montreal's L6, and 7 of their L9 vs. LA. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play |

If you're looking to bet, the moneyline odds are currently at SMU +120 and ASU -135, with the Sun Devils holding a 2.5-point advantage. The total points over/under is set at 140.5. We’re backing the Sun Devils here, laying the small number. SMU has to travel to the west coast for a late night game against a very physical ASU side. While SMU does come in with 6 wins, their record is a bit deceiving. They’ve beat up on the weaker teams on their schedule, while losing to the likes of Dayton, Wisconsin, and Texas A&M. Arizona State fits right into those teams and should be able to dictate a lot here. SMU isn’t going to overpower anyone. They’re only putting up 74 points per game and they are going to struggle to hit that number. Arizona State is averaging just 65 points against per game, which is a result from them playing a ton of high pressured defense and forcing turnovers. They’ve rattled off 3 straight wins and the confidence right now is at a high for ASU. They can use their physicality to win the battle in the paint and not allow anything easy on the offensive end for SMU. This is just too low of a number in this spot. Trends, SMU is 0-6 SU in their L6 on the road. ASU is 5-1 SU in their L6, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Plus they're 9-3 L12 in December. (Dating back a couple years of course) Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-06-23 | Hurricanes v. Oilers -103 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 28 h 39 m | Show | |
Oilers -103 Probable Goalies: Raanta (6-4-0, 3.33 GAA) vs. Skinner (8-71-, 3.16 GAA) The Canes 14-9-1 (6-7 AWAY) take on the Oilers 9-12-1 (5-4-1 HOME) on Wednesday night. Canes come in +105, EDM -103 on the ML, O/U is set at 6.5. The Oil are getting good value on home ice here Wednesday as the Canes come in having won 3 of the L4 matchups between these two clubs. 11/22/23 6-3, 11/10/22 7-2, 10/20/22 6-4 EDM, and 2/27/22 2-1. Edmonton has played great of late and we've been on them a couple times in their recent run when the lines have allowed it. Both can put the puck in the net, and both shoot the puck a ton so this should be an entertaining matchup. Expect EDM to really play with some momentum here WED. They're at home, where all Canadian teams get amped up, and with the crowd demanding wins in a really good PP, and the fact the OILERS put more hits on teams than nearly anyone else in the NHL has me thinking they'll really get after Carolina in this one. In goal for the Oilers, in their recent game, Skinner performed admirably by saving 25 out of 26 shots in their 3-1 victory against Winnipeg. The 25-year-old goaltender has improved his performance after a rough start to the season. In fact, he has conceded two goals or less in three of his last four starts. Really like the way he's playing of late, and his strong play in net is obviously helping the Oilers play with confidence in front of him. Trends: Oilers are 4-0 in their L4 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game, are 4-0 in their L4 at home, and OVERALL they're 4-0 L4, plus they're 5-1 in their L6 following a WIN. a win.

12-06-23 | San Francisco v. Vanderbilt +2.5 | 73-60 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +2.5 Tonight it's the Dons (5-3, 5-2 ATS) taking on the Commodores (4-4, 3-5 ATS) from the Memorial Gym in Nashville, TN. Tip-off is at 8pm ET. Watch this on ESPN+. ML Odds have SF at -135, and Vandy is +114 to open. The O/U is 138. Following three consecutive victories, San Francisco's streak of good luck came to an end on Sunday as they suffered a 72-61 loss to the Sun Devils. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt put an end to their three-game losing streak on Saturday by convincingly defeating the Alabama A&M Bulldogs with a final score of 78-59. We’re on Vandy here, grabbing the points on Wednesday night. It’s rare to see an SEC school getting points from a West Coast Conference team, at home. This is a valuable line on the Commodores, who will come out with a lot of fire in this one. Vandy has had a difficult schedule to start. They had to participate in the Vegas Showdown and then return home immediately to face a tough Boston College side. Despite that, they do come in with momentum here after taking down an Alabama A&M team in dominant fashion. If anything, the win got them confidence heading into play here. Vandy is going to speed this game up on San Francisco. The Commodores can run in transition and really force San Fran on their heels. The Dons love to play a slow game and they’ve struggled at times with teams who play quick here in 2023. Vanderbilt can run on them and should find some easy transition buckets. Some trends, Vanderbilt are 13-7 SU in their L20, are 4-1 SU in their L5 at home, are 6-1 ATS in their L7 against an opponent in the WCC. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Magic +4.5 From the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH, the Cavs (11-9, 5-6 HOME, 7-11-2 ATS) host the Magic (14-6, 5-4 AWAY, 15-5 ATS) at 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday. Cavs come into this one as -4.5pt favorites, while the O/U was set at 222.5. If you're a ML bettor you'll get Moneyline: Cleveland -185, Orlando +154. (Sprinkle a little on the ML if you're feeling up to it) We were on the Magic-men last week in G2 vs. the Wizards and that didn't end well, but I know this game will have much more meaning to them. They won't take this Cavs team lightly. The Wizards game was a letdown game if there ever was one, and I like the chemistry this Magic team has this year. I'm not expecting a letdown in this one. Magic average 114PPG to Cavs 110PPG, and both teams are TOP 10 in D here. Magic get more steals and blocks and they're a beast on the offensive glass, plus the depth they'll come at you with is top notch. Wagner, Banchero, Suggs, Bitadze, Black, are playing with some serious chemistry. Some trends I've found have me feeling even better about this play. Orlando are 8-2 ATS in their L10, are 9-1 SU in their L10, are 11-5 ATS in their L16 on the road, and finally, they're 8-1 L9 against an East teams. Last one, Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. On the other side, Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS in their L7 games playing on 3 or more days rest, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 after allowing 100+ pts in prior matchup. I'm backing the Magic +4.5.

12-05-23 | Devils v. Canucks -110 | 6-5 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 3 m | Show | |
Canucks ML Probable Goalies: Vanecek (8-5, 3.49 GAA, SV%) vs. Demko (12-6, 2.26 GAA, SV%) Coming up on Tuesday night two of the top NHL teams here early in the season square off, the Canucks (16-8-1, 8-2-1 HOME) will face off against the Devils (11-10-1, 6-4 AWAY) at Rogers Arena. The game is scheduled for Tuesday at 10:00pm ET and will be broadcast on MSG. The Canucks are the opening favorites with odds of -119, while the Devils are the underdogs at -102. The over/under (O/U) for total goals is set at 6.5. In their most recent game, the Devils suffered a 6-3 home loss to San Jose, while the Canucks secured a 4-3 road victory against the Flames on December 2nd. For VAN, DEMKO in net has been a site for sore eyes! 4 wins L6 games, of course his first month of the season was one of the best in the NHL, but his regression hasn't been that much. He's still one of the best right now in the league. Stats GPG VAN #2 3.84, NJ #4 3.59, GAA VAN #5 2.56, NJ #31 3.72, Shooting % VAN #1 13.3%, NJ #8 10.8, SV% VAN #4 .915% NJ #31 .873. NJ #1 PP vs. VAN #4 PP, PK Both #23. Small edges to VAN the way I see it. We were on Van City on Saturday night getting the job done vs. Calgary on the road and we're going back to them on Tuesday night to get after it against the visiting Devils. It's a long trip to the West coast from the East coast, hoping NJ doesn't have the jet lag out of their systems yet. Canucks are a dynamic team, and Demko is one of the best in the league right now. Nucks will be hard to beat at home, they know they have to bring more effort than they did vs. LVGK the other night. Trends: Both teams are 3-2 L5 SU. Nucks 13-7 SU L20, and 10-3 SU L13 at home. Canucks are 6-0 in their L6 playing on 2 days rest, and are 4-1 in their L5 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. Devils are 1-4 L5 vs. Western Conference teams.

OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Gibson (5-10, 2.80 GAA, 0.906 SV%) vs. Georgiev (13-6-1, 2.90 GAA, 0.898 SV%, 1SO) Tuesday night in Denver, Colorado, the Avalanche (15-7-2, 8-2 HOME) who are currently in the 3rd in the Western Conference face off against the Ducks (10-14, 13th in WEST, 5-5 AWAY) at Ball Arena, with the game set to start at 9:00pm ET. The Avalanche are the favorites with odds of -330, while the Ducks are the underdogs with odds of +286. The over/under for this game is set at 6.5 (-102). These two teams have quite a contrast in their Western Conference standings, making this match an interesting one. In their recent encounter on December 2, Anaheim secured a 4-3 home victory against the Avs, ultimately winning the shootout 1-0. In contrast, the Avs last game resulted in a 4-1 road loss to the Kings on December 3rd. Now, just a week later, they meet again for a rematch. Stats: Ducks 2.75 GPG, Avs 3.58 GPG, GAA Ducks 3.50, Avs 2.91 GAA. Shots: Ducks 29.45, Avs 31 SPG. Defensive Save % Ducks .890, Avs. .900.

On other side, the OVER has hit in 10 of L15 games for the AVS. Both games before that one (last year) went OVER 6.5 11/15/23 8-2 COL, and 4/9/23 a 5-4 COL win in OT.

Knicks +4.5 New York (12-7, 11-7-1 ATS, 6-4 AWAY) seeks to continue their three-game winning streak as they travel to Milwaukee (14-6, 8-12 ATS, 9-1 HOME) on Tuesday at Fiserv Forum. The game is scheduled for 7:30pm ET and will be broadcast on TNT. The Bucks are currently favored by 6 points in this matchup, with the moneyline showing Milwaukee at -246 and New York at +202. The over/under for the game is set at 223 points. These two last met on 11/3/23 a 110-105 MIL win. Before that they played on 1/9/23 a Bucks 111-107 win. The Bucks are 8-2 L10, but we only need a +5.5pt cover here, not an outright win. We’re playing the Knicks here, with the points in the quarterfinals of the in season tournament. These NBA teams do seem to care about the in season tournament, but you have to believe the Bucks still have their eyes set on far bigger aspirations. The Knicks are proving to be a contender themselves and the motivation here will be a bit higher for them as this is the kind of thing that can give them momentum and confidence. New York has been stellar on the defensive end so far, which has led to some early season success. They are giving up just 105.5 PPG, as they’ve been able to rattle off 3 straight wins and 4 of their last 5. They’re doing it with a ton of pressure and suffocating opposing shooters. New York has the defense to slow down this Bucks attack. Ultimately, they’ll turn this game into a grind and force Milwaukee out of their comfort zone pace wise. Look for New York to frustrate the Bucks all night here in a game they can steal outright. My X-factor in this matchup is the Knicks defense. They're #1 in the association on that side of the ball and can really make it hard for opposing teams to run the offense they want to run. They can get in the lanes and cause havoc. They're also #13 in steals. Some trends to think about, NY are 6-4 SU L10, NY are 4-1 SU in their L5, are 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road, and they're 7-0 SU in their L7 games against an opponent in the East. Milwaukee are 2-4 ATS in their L6 in Dec. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

Halton Arena on the campus of UNC Charlotte, and you can catch the action on ESPN+. Charlotte steps onto the court as the clear favorites with a 9-point advantage over the Hatters. When it comes to the moneyline, Charlotte is listed at -436, while Stetson is the underdog at +335. As for the expected total points in the game, the over/under is set at 132.5. We're on the Under here Tuesday night. These are two offenses that have struggled mightily thus far into the season. Stetson comes in ranking 183rd in total offense as they've struggled to find any sort of consistency this season. Luckily for them, their defense has been solid for the most part coming into play. They have held opposing teams to under 40% shooting from the field, which ranks 53rd in the entire nation. Charlotte has been even worse on the offensive end. They in fact, have ranked near the bottom of the entire NCAA, putting up 65.9 points per game. Like Stetson, they have leaned on their defense. They rank 21st in the NCAA, allowing 61.9 points per game. We're going to see a very slow pace and both of these teams lean on the defensive side. With that in mind, this has the makings of a very low scoring game. Stetson has ONLY put up 60 3x, and Charlotte has only put up over 70 2x. Under is 4-1-1 in 49ers L6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB O/U Play |

12-05-23 | George Mason v. Tennessee UNDER 138 | 66-87 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 48 m | Show | |
UNDER 138 Late add for me on this one today. In a matchup set for Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN, it's George Mason (7-1, 5-2 ATS, 1-0 AWAY) taking on #13 Tennessee (4-3, 3-4 ATS, 2-0 HOME) with tip-off at 6:30 p.m. ET. ESPN+ is where to watch this. Let's look at the odds for George Mason vs. Tennessee: Moneyline (ML) has George Mason at +1000 and Tennessee at -2100. When it comes to the spread (ATS), Tennessee is favored by -15.5 (-110), and the initial Over/Under (O/U) is set at 134.5. George Mason is on a hot streak, boasting four W's and consistently hitting the OVER in their recent games. However, they face a formidable Tennessee squad known for their defensive prowess. Despite the public's preference for the OVER, the line has shifted favorably for those looking at the UNDER. With this in mind, I'm leaning towards the UNDER for this matchup. While GM is 171st in the nation at 75PPG, TENN is close as well at 76 PPG (151st). What I like is the defense they both play. GM 55th in the Nation at 64 PPG, and TENN is 93rd at 67PPG. TENN is also one of the better shot blocking teams in the country, and can really get after it on the glass. when looking at GM's performance, the total points scored in 7 of their last 8 games against SEC opponents have been lower than expected. Additionally, when the Volunteers play at home and face a team with a strong road record, the games tend to go under the total points line, with a perfect 4-0 record. Moreover, the Volunteers have been on a hot streak at home lately, with 7 out of their last 9 home games going under the total. On the other hand, when the Patriots hit the road and face a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600, the games tend to stay under, as seen in their 7-1 record. Furthermore, when the Patriots play on the road against teams with winning home records, they also favor the under, boasting a 6-1 record. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

You can catch the action on ESPN+. In their previous game, the Coyotes secured a solid 4-1 victory at home against the Blues on December 2. On the other hand, Washington faced a tough loss, falling 4-1 on the road against the Knights. This is their first matchup this season. Caps are 2-2 on this road trip. Yotes aren't afraid to get tough with anyone, and they're a team that will compete for 60 minutes game in and game out. On Saturday they had 7 players get on the scoresheet, so they're getting contributions from up and down their lineup. I'm backing the Coyotes tonight. on the ML. Opening odds had the Yotes -123, Caps +102, and O/U set at 6. The Yotes are 5-4-1 vs. the Caps in their L10. They're scoring 3.3 GPG to the Caps 2.48 GPG, and each team is averaging 27 SPG. The Yotes have a definite PP advantage at this point of the season too. The Yotes are 4-1 SU L5, and 4-2 SU L6 vs. Eastern conference teams.

Jaguars -8 Monday Night Football & the Joe Burrow (less) Cincinnati Bengals (5-6, 4-6-1 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) go down to Jacksonville to take on the AFC South leading Jaguars (8-3, 8-3 ATS, 3-3 HOME) on Sunday. Opening odds for this one have the ML Bengals +375 | Jaguars -500, and the spread is set at Jaguars -10 (-110), the O/U is set at 40. The last time these two met up was 9/30/21, a 24-21 Bengals win, JAX covered the 7.5 in that one. Bengals have lost 3 in a row. Jags have won 4 of their last 5. These are two teams going in complete opposite directions coming into play. Obviously things for the Bengals have taken a huge halt after Joe Burrow’s season came to an end. This Bengals side is no longer a threat on the offensive end and they’ve been abysmal since Burrow went down. Jake Browning fell to the Steelers last time out as Cincinnati has had zero success moving the ball. There is just no way this Bengals offense can keep up. Jacksonville is on another level right now as this offense is one of the best in the NFL. They come in putting up 58 points combined the last two games and the defense has even caused a lot of havoc. The Jags are giving up just 20.5 points per game this season and will cause so many issues for Browning. This is going to be a lopsided game from the start with the Jags simply overwhelming the Bengals. Some trends that make me think I'm on the right track here include: the Bengals are 2-8 SU in their L10 when playing on the road against the Jags, they're also 1-7 ATS in their L8 against an opponent in the AFC. On the other side, Jacksonville are 7-1 ATS in their L8, are 7-1 SU in their L8 games, plus the Jaguars are 5-0 ATS in their L5 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game, and finally, the Jags are 8-3 SU in their L11 games at home. Don't overthink this one. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

The game will kick off at 7 p.m. ET at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, and you can catch it on the B10 Network. The updated opening Moneyline odds are Iowa +660 and Purdue -1050, while Purdue is favored by -13.5 (-105) against the spread (ATS), with the Over/Under (O/U) set at 163.5 points. In their last meeting, Purdue secured an 87-73 victory, with Purdue favored by 7.5 points. In their most recent game, Iowa scored its second 100-point game of the season, narrowly missing the -26.5 point spread as they won 103-79 against the North Florida Ospreys. The #1 ranked Boilermakers opened their conference play against Northwestern, where they were unexpectedly upset in overtime, losing 92-88 as a -5.5 favorite. I wish I had locked this in at +13.5, but here we sit. I'm still good with 12.5. This would have been a 9* if 13.5 though! We’re on Iowa here, grabbing the points. This is a spot for Purdue where they are going to come out flat. Purdue fell to Northwestern last time out and there will be some lingering effects from that. This is also not a good matchup for them coming in. Iowa is being undervalued in this spot as they are an overwhelming team at times for opponents. The Hawkeyes are 5-2 this year and they are lighting up the scoreboard right now. This team averages over 90 points a game, which is one of the best marks in the NCAA. The Hawkeyes shoot it as good as anyone from the field and they play with a ton of pace. They can match Purdue's scorers and a quick start from Iowa can result in some doubt in Purdue’s minds. This is a game where Iowa is going to keep things close, with a chance to steal it out right even if they can continue to frustrate Purdue with their speed. Trends: Iowa are 5-2 SU in their L7. For Purdue, they are 1-6 ATS in their L7 against Big 10 schools, and are 0-9 ATS in their L9 December games. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-03-23 | Chiefs v. Packers +6 | 19-27 | Win | 100 | 68 h 36 m | Show | |
Packers +6 On Sunday night football on NBC we get the (8-3, ATS) KC Chiefs taking on the suddenly relevant Green Bay Packers (5-6). Chasing down a WC spot in the NFC. 8:20pm ET kickoff from Lambeau Field. Packers are +6pt dogs. The O/U total is set at 42.5. Straight up bettors will get the Chiefs at -245. The Packers are +205 on the ML. We're backing the home side in this one. No matter what, it's always going to be tough for visiting teams to come into Lambeau Field, let alone a night game. This place will be rocking. During the initial two months of the season, Jordan Love's trial appeared to be a big flop, and folks in Green Bay were in danger of losing their jobs. Luckily, things have turned around, and now Love is performing like one of the top NFL quarterbacks, saving everyone's employment. I'm on the Jordon Love train. The kid is starting to look much better and I think at home on Sunday Night Football it's going to be his coming out party. On the season now Love is 225/372 for a 60% completion %, He's chucked for 2599 yards, 19TD/10 INT's for an 87QBR. To the eye test he's improving nearly every game. Sure he has some hiccups in his game, but what young QB doesn't? On the whole the Packers looked like a different team on Thanksgiving, and with 10 days to rest and get ready for Coach Andy, I think they'll respond. The Packers offense has put up at least 375 yards in four straight games with back to back impressive wins over Detroit and the Chargers. This isn't the first time Love has played the Chiefs. His first start in 2021 he came in and started for Rogers when he was taken out by a positive Covid-19 test. Remember that? LOL. This marks the Chiefs’ first regular-season game in GB since 2015, and that means it will be Mahomes' first time in Wisconsin. Hopefully the winter is NASTY. KC is coming off a 31-17 triumph over the Raiders. Kansas City will have their hands full with this Packers offense. Combine that with the Packers holding the 8th best pass defense in the NFL and Mahomes will have some frustrations from the start. The Packers can keep this one close. With the energy from the crowd, they will have their chances to seize momentum throughout. Trends. Packers are 15-0 in December games during LaFleur’s tenure, and Green Bay are 8-4 ATS in their L12 played on a Sunday. KC are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games against Green Bay. I'm riding the Cheese here on Sunday night. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

12-03-23 | 49ers v. Eagles OVER 46.5 | 42-19 | Win | 100 | 134 h 3 m | Show | |
OVER 46.5 As prime-time a matchup as we will see this week when two teams that met in the NFC Championship last year lock horns this week. The San Francisco 49ers on 10 days rest (8-3, 6-5 ATS, 4-2 AWAY) take on the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1, 7-2-2 ATS, 5-0 HOME), and I'm expecting points. PHI 28PPG, SF 28PPG, 49ers D #1 15PPG, but Phili's D #20 22PPG, Both teams top 5 in the Red Zone, both teams top 10 in Total Yds per game, Total yards per play, Rush Yds per game, and both Top 15 in Passing yards per game. Eagles have put up 28+ in home games, Niners seem to be able to get 8 yards on EVERY play they run from scrimmage. This game should produce plenty of back and forth action. Philadelphia continues to be the team to beat in the NFL. They had another come from behind win as they took down the Bills in OT last week. However, their defense has far too many question marks. They were on the field for 92 plays last week and now they'll get a very physical and talented 49ers team that they have to deal with. Making this Over even more lucrative, both of these offenses sit tied for 3rd in points per game. They come in averaging 28.2 PPG each as the playmakers on each side are top tier. Philadelphia has scored over 28 points in every home game this season as well. Knowing this, the 49ers aren't going to be afraid to go for big plays themselves. Given the explosiveness of these two sides, we are going to get production and a lot of big plays. I even think it could go the same way the Cowboys / Seahawks game went on Thursday night. Let's have NO punts again. Punters are over-rated anyways. OR, I'm expecting a game like the Bills/Eagles game turned out, good weather or bad weather these offenses can move the ball. Some trends that make me like my pick even more. OVER is 5-1 in Eagles L6 home games, 4-1 in Eagles L5 games after allowing 150 yards rushing in their previous matchup, and the OVER is 4-1 in Niners L5 in Week 13. (Random I know) I'm forecasting points in this one. You know what to do. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play |

12-03-23 | Browns v. Rams -3.5 | 19-36 | Win | 100 | 118 h 27 m | Show | |
Rams -3.5 The Rams (5-6, 5-5-1 ATS, 2-3 HOME) are set to face the Cleveland Browns (7-4, 6-5 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. You can catch the action on FOX. The odds have the Rams favored by -3.5 ATS, with opening moneyline lines at Rams (-184) and Browns (+155). The over/under total is set at 39.5 points. H2H the Rams are 5-1 in their L6 matchups. Averaging 22PPG, to Cleveland's 13PPG. They last met 9/22/2019 a 20-13 LAR win. These two have played 24x thru the years, the Rams have a 13-11 advantage. In their recent matchup last week, the Browns had a tough outing, losing 29-12 to the Broncos, and it felt like they weren't really in the game, especially after Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion. While the Browns boast a formidable defense, it's important to remember that having a top-notch defense doesn't guarantee victory every time. Without a noteable starting QB the NFL is seeing the Browns are just an ordinary team with no real playmakers to hit home. On the flip side, the Rams are coming off a convincing 37-14 victory over the Cardinals. Matthew Stafford was on fire, throwing for 229 yards, 4 TD's, and 1 INT, completing 25/33 passes. The Rams also welcomed back Kyren Williams, and if you, like me, had him on your fantasy bench, you missed out on his stellar performance. He rushed for 143 yards on 16 carries and added 6 receptions for 61 yards and 2 TD's. With Kupp and Atwell also contributing, the Rams are suddenly back in the playoff conversation. The big question for the Browns this Sunday is who will be their starting quarterback. It's an uncertainty that adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup. I'm also unsure of Garrett is going to be, he looked really banged up on Sunday. In any case, if we see Joe Flacco at QB on Sunday I'll be licking my chops. So will Aaron Donald. Some trends to see here, the Browns are 1-5 ATS vs. the Rams L6, and are 1-5 SU in their L6 vs. LAR, plus they're 3-12 SU in their L15 vs. the NFC west teams. Last one, Browns are 1-5 ATS in their L6 after allowing LESS than 150 yds passing in prior game. The Rams are glad December is here, they're 7-1 ATS in their L8 in December. Sunday I'm backing the Lambs. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-03-23 | Panthers v. Bucs UNDER 37 | 18-21 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 52 m | Show | |
UNDER 37 Sunday the Carolina Panthers (1-10, 1-8-2 ATS, 0-6 AWAY) visit the Tampa Bay Bucs (4-7, 7-4 ATS, 2-3 HOME) in NFC South action. I'm with the PUBLIC on this one. How does this game go OVER? Will a team with a rookie QB and an entirely new offensive coaching staff be able to put any pieces in place to suddenly resurrect this offense? Young has 1877 yards on the season, a 5.4 YPC, and averaging 187 YPG thru the air. He's been picked 8x, sacked 40x and has a 61% completion percentage. Hubbard is struggling to run behind an O-line that can't get anyone out of the way. He's got 450 yards, averages 3.8 YPC, and only has 2 TD's. Miles Sanders isn't any better (he fumbles too). Thielen started the season looking like a pro-bowler, but last week was brutal. 1 catch 2 yards. Hardly inspiring. He did have 8 for 74 vs. Dallas the week before, but this is painful. Now for the Bucs. The one bright spot with the Panthers is that it seems like their defense is still playing hard. That has to be a win. So I think the Panthers can actually keep the Bucs down in this one. We don't know if Mayfield is going to play at this point either. His ankle is hurting, but the MRI was negative. Last week he was 20/30 for 199 2 TD's and 1 INT. I'm secretly hoping we see Kyle Trask this week! White, Evans, Godwin present issues for any offense, but if the main man is hobbled I'm not sure how good they can be. The Bucs average 19PPG, the Panthers 15PPG. The Bucs D is pretty good too only allowing 20PPG. (Panthers 26PPG). Neither team is good in the red zone. (CAR 19th, TB 27th), and on 3rd down they both struggle too. CAR 20th, TB 15th. When they last played 1/1/23 we saw a 30-24 scoreline, but you know who the QB's were in that one, this is much different. On 10/23/22 the Panthers won 21-3, so there's that. Trends, Under is 5-0 in the Panthers L5, 4-1 L5 vs. NFC South teams, and 5-0 in Panthers L5 vs. a team with a losing record. While the UNDER is also 4-0 in the Bucs L4 home games, and 4-0 in their L4 games following an ATS loss, and lastly the UNDER has hit in 7 of the L9 TB matchups. I'm banking on the defenses on Sunday. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play |

12-03-23 | Broncos +3.5 v. Texans | 17-22 | Loss | -105 | 119 h 27 m | Show | |
Broncos +3.5 On Sunday, the Broncos (6-5, 2-2 AWAY, 4-6-1 ATS) are set to face off against the Texans (6-5, 4-2 HOME, 5-6 ATS) at NRG Stadium, with the game scheduled to kick off at 1pm ET CBS for TV. The initial odds for the Moneyline (ML) indicated the Broncos at +135 and the Texans at -160. The Texans were also initially favored by -3 points, and the Over/Under (O/U) for the game was set at 46.5 points. Nice matchup between two AFC contenders?! I didn't see that coming! Last game out the Broncos kept their hot streak alive with a conclusive 29-12 W over the Browns at home. Call me crazy but I'm actually buying what Russell Wilson is selling of late. (His stats while not AMAZING me are good enough to deliver wins, and that's all I can ask for right now) Maybe the Broncs have Sean Payton's magic touch to thank? He's clearly having an effect on the team, and isn't washed up yet as so many were saying after the way DVR started the year. Maybe it's the run game. The Perine/Williams combo seems like a match made in heaven as a 1-2 punch. More than likely though its the Broncos defense. The DVR pass rush is all world currently. These guys are really getting home. As a result the Broncs are a TURNOVER machine. 20 takeaways now (has them 4th in the NFL). Ball Hawk U! Stroud will have to have his head on a swivel in this one. On the other side the Texans are one of the surprise teams this year, but I'm not convinced yet. They were good, but not good enough to take out the Jags on Sunday and lost 24-21. The Jags got some revenge for the earlier loss to Houston (37-17 Week 3). The Broncos will have a gameplan ready for Dell and Stroud though, there's plenty of film on these guys now, and I don't foresee too many surprises. Past matchups: 9/18/22 Denver 16, Houston 9. 12/8/19 Denver 38, Houston 24. Since 2007 8 matchups, Denver leads 5-3. Some trends, Texans are 1-4 ATS in their L5 after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Plus, the Texans are 1-4 ATS in their L5. On the visiting side, Denver are 4-1 ATS in their L5, lastly, they're 5-0 SU L5, 4-1 SU L5 vs. Texans. My money is on the Broncos coming thru and covering the 3.5 on Sunday. I trust Sean Payton in this spot to put just enough wrinkles in to keep the rookie QB on his toes all day long. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

12-02-23 | Rockets v. Lakers -4.5 | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Lakers -4.5 Tonight in LA the Houston Rockets (8-8, 10-4-2 ATS, 0-7 AWAY) take on the LA Lakers (11-9, 8-12 ATS, 7-2 HOME). Tip off is at 10:30pm ET, from the Crypto Arena. Here are the latest odds: Moneyline (ML): Rockets +170, Lakers -210. Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -5.5 (-105), and the initial Over/Under (O/U) total is 222.5. Looking at their season series, it's tied 1-1. The Lakers had a tough loss, falling 133-110 to the Thunder on Thursday, not managing to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs. Houston comes in losers of their last 2. (Sure the Mavs/Nuggets are pretty good teams) but they gave the Lakers coaching staff some pretty good blue print for what it takes to make the Rockets look less than stellar. Houston can defend the 3, but they have problems defending the glass. The LA team is back home after a 4-game road trip where they won 2 and lost 2. Their main focus in December is to find consistency. Tonight's game depends a lot on how well Davis performs. He needs to step up on offense and also make sure to contain Alperen Sengun effectively. HELLO!!!! Anthony Davis. Dude is going to have a game tonight. He has too, especially if the Lakers supporting cast keep missing games. (Hachimura, Hayes, Reddish, Vanderbilt, and Vincent). LeBron has been in great form and is favored to score over 24.5 points against the Rockets. I think he goes for 35+! Stats: Lakers come in averaging 113PPG, HOU 110PPG, LAL 49% FG%, HOU 47%, 3PT HOU 35%, LAL 33%, FT LAL 76%, HOU 75%, REB. LAL 44RPG, HOU 43. H2H L10 games Lakers 7-3 SU, 3-7 ATS. On the road Houston's defensive rating is 26th in the NBA. Trends: Rockets 2-5 SU L7, 3-13 SU L16 vs. Lakers, 0-7 L7 on the road, 0-7 L7 vs. Los Angeles, on the other side, LAL 8-4 SU L12, LAL 4-2 L6 Saturday games. Saturday night in LA?! Sign me up.

12-02-23 | Canucks +108 v. Flames | 4-3 | Win | 108 | 26 h 36 m | Show | |
Canucks +108 The Canucks (15-8-1, 7-6 AWAY) are heading to Calgary to face the Flames (10-10-3, 5-3-1 HOME) Saturday at 10:00PM ET. In their previous game, the Flames secured a 4-3 victory at home against Dallas, while Vancouver faced a challenging bout against the reigning champions, Vegas, resulting in a 4-1 loss on their home ice. These two teams have already clashed once this season, and back on November 16, Calgary had a relatively smooth ride, defeating Vancouver with a final score of 5-2. Calgary actually has less losses in their L10 than Van City (4 to VAN's 5) but Van just passes the eye test for me for tonight. Demko has been a rock so far this season. Sure the LV game was a blemish. Demko stopped 40 of 44 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss though. The D let him down in that one. He's only allowed 15 goals in his L6. Before LV he was 3-1 with a 1.75 GAA in L4. Canucks have a winning record away from home. Calgary while a 75 minute flight away has a ton of Vancouver fans that regularly show up to CGY games so this is a road game, but it's a Saturday night in a Canadian city. Every one of these matchups are big. Van City will have no problem getting up for this one, especially since they want to erase the sting of the loss to LV a couple days ago. Defenseman Nikita Zadorov will debut tonight for VAN too, that'll be interesting considering they traded for him this week from CGY. For CGY, Markstrom has won 5 of 7, so he's no slouch either. He also had the 20-save effort in a 5-2 victory over Van a couple weeks ago. But Van knows all about him (seeing as how he used to play for them). This won't be an easy matchup, but I'd be remiss if I didn't wish Markstrom missed this game! LOL Stats: VAN #2 in GPG with 3.8GPG, CGY is 22nd with 2.95GPG. Goals against per game, VAN #6 2.54 GAA, CGY #17 3.26 GAA. VAN has the #1 shooting % in the NHL at 13.14, CGY #28 9.16. Canucks also have the #5 Save % in the NHL with .917, to CGY's .888 (#23). Canucks are also #3 on the PP, to CGY's #28 ranking. Nucks are bigger faster and stronger, and it will show tonight. Trends, Canucks are 13-7 SU L20, and 13-5 SU L18 vs. Western Conference teams. On the other side for Calgary, they're 1-5 in their L6 Saturday games. Nucks have lost 5 of 8, and it the bad run stops tonight. Back Van City. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play |

12-02-23 | Michigan v. Iowa OVER 34 | 26-0 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 56 m | Show | |
Over 34 It's the Big Ten Championship Game. A neutral site game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN at 8pm ET on Saturday. Iowa (10-2, 6-5-1 ATS) vs. Michigan (12-0, 6-5-1 ATS) for all the marbles. Oh, and Coach Jim is back on the sidelines for Michigan. UM is a 21.5pt favorite. The O/U is set at 34. Get your popcorn ready. Last game out Michigan took down Ohio State 30-24, before that they beat Maryland 31-24. On the other side Iowa got past Nebraska 13-10 last week, and before that a 15-13 win over Illinois. These two met up on 10/1/22, a 27-14 Michigan win. Before that on 12/4/21, a 42-3 Michigan win. This total is comically low for a Conference Title Game. But it does come with good reason. However, this game can feature more scoring than the oddsmakers think. The Wolverines come in off a 31 point performance against the Buckeyes as they are in such a nice groove right now. They also get a huge spark with Jim Harbaugh returning to the sidelines. This Wolverines offense has played much better with him on the sidelines and they can produce a lot of big plays against the Hawkeyes. Iowa is going to have to open things up themselves to have any chance here. They have prided themselves on the defensive end and here they're going to have to take chances. This is the kind of game where one big turnover or a broken play can open the game up. With a lower total like this, both teams have the chance to strike early and give us a good chance at this one going over. This isn't your typical matchup. Michigan can put up a bunch of points (13th in the Nation on offense 37PPG, Iowa can't (I don't think 18PPG), but they can run the ball and keep the score low and try to control the TOP. (4th in the Nation on D 12PPG) CAN THEY? is the $1000000 question. My money says NO. Two of the top defensive teams in the Nation and we're looking OVER. You have to love football! Trends, the total has gone OVER in 7 of the L8 for Michigan, and in 5 of Michigan's L6 in December. Plus the OVER has hit for 6-0-1 ATS in the Wolverines L7 following an ATS win. For Iowa, the total doesn't go over much, but it did go OVER in 6 of their L9 games vs. East Division teams in the Big Ten. Michigan has allowed 24, 24, 15, and 13 the L4 games. We're hoping Iowa can score a couple TD's here to help us out. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF O/U Play |

12-02-23 | Red Wings v. Canadiens UNDER 6.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 50 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Husso (7-4-1, 3.43 GAA, 0.892 SV%) vs. Montembeault (5-3-1, 2.73 GAA, 0.910 SV%) On Saturday, we've got a showdown on the ice as Detroit (12-7-3, 4-4-1 AWAY) faces off against the Montreal Canadiens (10-11-2, 5-7 HOME) at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, kicking off at 7:00 PM ET. Taking a look at the NHL Betting Lines for Saturday, the Red Wings are the favorites at -153, while the Canadiens are the underdogs at +129. The opening Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 6.5. Notably, on November 30th, the Red Wings had a commanding 5-1 victory over the Hawks on their home turf, while the Canadiens had a less fortunate outcome with a 5-1 loss to the Panthers. This matchup promises some excitement but we're betting on the UNDER. Habs are 29th scoring at 2.69 GPG, Wings 4th at 3.6 GPG. Wings on D allow 2.90 GPG, Habs 3.4 GPG. Both are bottom 18 in the league in shots and shots against. For Montreal, Montembeault and Jake Allen have been sharing duties this season, but Monte is currently on a 2-game win streak. He made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over CBUS on WED. He's won 3 of his L4. And hasn't allowed more than 3 goals in about 12 days. There are Jake Allen trade rumors circling, and Monte just inked a new 3-year contract, so he's clearly the "guy". Youngster Cayden Primeau is also in the mix. The Habs went 0/6 on the PP last game out, and those types of struggles will help us here with the UNDER on Saturday. For the Wings, in Husso last action he stopped 38/41 vs. NYR, but the game ended for him with a 3-2 loss. He's not been a liability for sure, and has shown improvement. Trends: The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit's L6. For Montreal, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of their L5, and 6 of their L7 vs. the Red Wings. Plus the Under is 4-1 in Canadiens L5 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their prior game. The last time they met was 11/9/23 a 3-2 Habs win in OT. Before that 4/4/23 a 5-0 Wings win. I'm backing the UNDER on Saturday. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play |

12-02-23 | Wolves v. Hornets +5.5 | 123-117 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Hornets +5.5 Minnesota (14-4, 5-3 AWAY, 10-8 ATS) clashes with Charlotte (6-11, 3-6 HOME, 7-10 ATS) tonight at the Spectrum Center, in Charlotte, NC with tip-off at 5pm ET. Examining the initial NBA odds reveals the Moneyline (ML): Timberwolves -250 | Hornets +195, (ATS): Timberwolves -5.5 (-115), and the Over/Under (O/U): 220.5. This marks the first face-off of the season between these two teams, with Charlotte claiming W's in both matchups in 2022/23. 121-113 covering +7, and 110-108, covering +6.5. In their most recent games, Minnesota secured its third consecutive win, 101-90 against Utah Thursday. Charlotte pulled off a stunning 129-128 victory over the Nets, covering as a 9.5-point underdog. As is customary in NBA matchups, monitoring injury reports is crucial. Currently, Gobert is questionable (recently added to the pre-game injury report), while Edwards is doubtful. Meanwhile, McDaniels is out, and McLaughlin is also sidelined. On Charlotte's side, Ball, Martin, and Ntilikina are unavailable, while Miller and Richards' status remains uncertain. If Gobert sits I really LOVE this play. With him in the lineup I just "like it a lot!" LOL. Gobert has played 18 games so far this season and he's putting up 12PPG, 11RPG, and 2.3 Blocks per game. Not easy stats to replace. (in fact they won't) For Charlotte Terry Rozier is on fire of late. 7x 3's at Brooklyn, and he's 70 points in the L3 after being out for a couple weeks. Charlotte have won 3 of 5 and are playing some good ball right now. They average 113PPG, to MINN's 112PPG, of course Minni is the #1 defensive team in the league so it won't be easy. (GOBERT) Where they can make their mark is on the offensive glass, they're #8 in the NBA. They also don't turn the ball over much, certainly not as much as MINN does #17 to #25. Trends: MINN are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and are 0-6-1 ATS in their L7 games against Charlotte. Plus they're 1-6 SU in their L7 games vs. Charlotte. Charlotte are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Fingers crossed Rudy sits tonight. Play Charlotte ATS tonight. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama OVER 54 | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 60 m | Show | |
OVER 54 2023 SEC Championship game time! The Georgia Bulldogs (12-0, 4-7-1 ATS) take on the Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1, 8-4 ATS) in a battle of conference heavy's. UG/Bama head-to-head stats, Bama has won 7 out of the last 8 since 2008. It might surprise you, but this Saturday marks the 4th SEC Championship clash between these teams since 2012, with Bama taking three of those. However, UG had their moment last year, securing a 33-18 win in the 2022 National Championship Game. When I see something continually happening I usually tend to bet on it. Case in point. The OVER in the SEC Championship game has cashed 12/14 times thru the years. UG's L5 games, 31, 38, 52, 30, 43. Average of 38.8PPG. For Bama 27, 66, 49, 42, 34. Average of 43.6PPG. Both teams have some nice OVER's on their 2023 resume's so I'm going back to the well here on Saturday. These two teams going back and forth have become the norm and we should see a lot of fireworks here. Looking at Alabama first, they clicked in the middle of the season and have taken off since then. However, it took a miracle for them to win in the Iron Bowl, but that is what this offense can do. They finished the season averaging over 35 points per game as the offense was able to strike for big plays constantly. Georgia isn't the same as they've been in the past seasons either. They have struggled at times on the defensive end, which bodes well for us here. They also have been a dominant team on the offensive end per usual. They are averaging 39.6 points themselves as they will come downhill at opposing defenses. This has the makings of a game that is wide open from start to finish. Neither team is shy about what they want to do and they aren't scared to take chances. Trends, Over has hit in 6 of UG's L9, and in 4 of their L5 in December. For Bama the OVER has hit in 5 of their L5, and in 9 of the L11 when they play UG. Bama's play OVERS on Saturday too. 7 of the L8 SAT games go high! Get my drift? Let's watch some offense. Hop on!

12-02-23 | Blackhawks v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 15 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 (Both Confirmed) Probable Goalies: Soderblom (2-7 3.78 GAA, .882 SV%) vs. Hellebuyck (10-6-1, 2.58 GAA, 0.911 SV%, 1SO) The Jets (12-8-2, 6-5-1 HOME) face off against the Blackhawks (7-14, 4-8 AWAY) Saturday at 3:00 PM ET in the Canada Life Center in Winterpeg, and you can catch the action on NBC Sports. In terms of NHL betting odds, the Jets are the favorites (-277), while the Blackhawks are the dogs (+222), with the over/under set at 6.5. Winnipeg's recent game ended in a 3-1 home loss to the Oilers on November 30. They held a lead deep into the 3rd period, but unfortunately, the Jets couldn't hold on, allowing Edmonton to snatch the victory. Hellebuyck, despite stopping 55 out of 59 shots in his last two games ended up losing both. He'll be looking for better support from his team, and I think he'll get it. Chicago currently ranks 30th in offense this season, scoring an average of only 2.57 GPG. The Jets are eager to put an end to their 3-game losing streak and currently rank 14th in the NHL in terms of goals per game, averaging 3.0GPG. Meanwhile, Chicago's most recent outing was a road defeat, with a final score of 5-1 against the Red Wings.Soderblom is set to begin for the Hawks Saturday. So far this year, he has played in 10 games and has a record of 2-7. Trends: Jets are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. HOT: Jets are 6-1 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 so I think they'll be in charge most of this game, and the UNDER is 5-0 in the Jets L5, and its 5-0 in the L5 when the Jets play on 1 day rest. PLUS, the UNDER is 4-0 in the Jets L4 when their opponent allows 5 or more goals in their previous game. For the Hawks, the UNDER is 8-2-2 L12 vs. Central division teams. You know what to do. Hop on!

12-02-23 | Miami-OH +7.5 v. Toledo | 23-14 | Win | 100 | 113 h 46 m | Show | |
Miami-OH +7.5 Get ready for the 2023 MAC Conference Championship showdown! It's the (10-2) Miami (OH) RedHawks facing off against the (11-1) Toledo Rockets. The game is set for Saturday, December 2nd, at 12:00 ET, happening at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Let's talk numbers: The initial ATS Betting Line had Toledo favored by -8, but it's now adjusted to -7.5 as of Monday. On the Moneyline, Miami (OH) stands at +246, while Toledo is at -315. The Total is set at O/U 46.5. No matchup last year, but they did play each other earlier this season, and Toledo managed to secure a 21-17 victory. Miami owns a 28-23-1 series lead all time in this series. The first game played in 1936. The Redhawks are catching too many points in this spot. The MAC was as close as ever here in 2023 as it seemed like there were more teams than usual who were bunched together at times. However, Miami OH and Toledo were the two stand outs and the Red Hawks are right there with the Rockets. Miami OH comes in winners of 4 straight and their defense was easily one of the best in the conference. They rank 23rd in the entire nation in total defense giving up 322 yards per game. They come into this MAC Championship allowing 16.3 points per game. The Redhawks defense is going to be the difference maker here. They aren't going to allow anything easy and have a revenge factor after falling 21-17 to them earlier this season. That game was there for the taking and Miami wants this to be lower scoring. The RedHawks have been catching my eye lately. They'll have to prove to me that they CANNOT hang with Toledo, I think they can. Looking at the trends, it's clear Miami-OH have got some momentum. They've got a strong 9-2 ATS record in their L11 games and an impressive 10-1 SU record during that same stretch. So, my pick for this one is the underdog to cover the spread at +8.

Saint Mary’s is the favorite by 3.5 points, and the initial game total (O/U) is set at 130. These two haven't met since 12/6/14 a BSU 82-71 win over SMC. For those of you who like to bet on college basketball, this matchup will be one worth staying up for. We’re backing Boise here, with the points. The Broncos take on a Gaels team that has already dropped 4 games this season. This side has taken a step back to start the season as they’ve struggled on both ends of the floor. The latest was a 78-71 loss to Utah in a game where they just seemed to have no rhythm. The Gaels have only scored 71 points per game, which isn’t going to win many games against the competition they’ve dealt with. Boise is a physical team and they are giving up just 68 points a game. This is the kind of matchup that favors them given the defensive side. It’ll be a slow tempo and one where they don’t allow any sort of rhythm for this Gaels offense. Trends, Gaels are 1-4 ATS in their L5 neutral site games, plus they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games, and they're 1-4 SU too. The Broncos are 15-2 SU in their L17 vs. WCC teams, and they're 18-2 SU in their L20 in December. Back the Broncos tonight in Idaho. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-01-23 | Connecticut v. Kansas UNDER 148 | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show | |
UNDER 148 What a matchup in this edition of the Big East / Big 12 Battle. The defending National Champs in Lawrence, KS to take on the Jayhawks. Does it get any better on a Friday night if you're a College Hoops fan? The #4 UConn Huskies (7-0, 4-3 ATS) vs. the #5 Kansas Jayhawks (6-1, 3-4 ATS). Tip off is at 9pm ET on ESPN. With some nice wins under their belt already early in the season (Longhorns, Hoosiers) UConn seems to be in mid-season form already. These guys can shoot from anywhere, and they're beasts on the boards. KU only has the one real blemish on their season so far. It came in Hawaii so I'll forgive the kids. They are in Kansas. They're out of their element being in Hawaii, bikini's, beaches, they're kids. I'll let it go! LOL Marquette got the better of them. Contrasting styles in this one too, as KU is all about run-n-gun, while UConn slows it down. I love UConn's pace of play, it suits them to a tee, and it will serve us well as we play this UNDER on Friday night. Lots of slow possessions, and build up play, lots of passes, and then a high % shot. That's the UConn way. Stats: UCONN PPG 12th 88.7, KU 67th 81.3, PTS ALL (DEF) UCONN 60.6 16th, KU 64.7 67th in the Nation. KU is the best shooting team in the Nation at 53%, UConn 13th 51%, both grab a TON of steals (7pg each) and both are TOP 60 in the Nation on the glass. My model has the total a full 8-10 points under where Vegas puts this line. Trends, the UNDER has hit in 4 of the L5 KU games, UNDER is 6-1 in KU's L7 following an ATS loss, UNDER is 10-2 in KU's L12 following a SU win. On the other side the UNDER is 4-1 in UCONN's last 5 road games, and is 4-1 L5 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Back the UNDER on Friday night. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-01-23 | Oregon v. Washington +9.5 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 97 h 39 m | Show | |
UW +9.5 2023 Pac 12 Championship Game. Ducks are -9.5pt favorites, the O/U is set at 66.5. ML bettors can get UW +275, and UO at -353. Is this the last time we see this game? Who knows...but I'm going to enjoy this one as the (11-1, 8-2-1 ATS) Oregon Ducks take on the (12-0, 5-6-1 ATS) Washington Huskies on Friday night from Las Vegas. Series History: In Seattle, Huskies are 33-23 with 4 ties. In games played in Eugene, Ducks are 18-14. Recently, the Ducks have been dominant, winning 20 out of 28. In the most recent head-to-head matchup between the teams, Washington picked up the 37-34 win (last year). Earlier this year Oregon suffered their only Pac-12 loss in dramatic fashion as UW scored a go-ahead TD with just over a minute left to win at Husky Stadium, 36-33. The Ducks had a big win last week, beating the Oregon State Beavers with a score of 31-7 in the CIVIL WAR. Meanwhile, the Huskies are coming off a solid victory in the APPLE CUP, where they defeated the Washington State Cougars 24-21. Get ready for an epic showdown as the two leading Heisman hopefuls face off once more! Check out these stats: Penix has racked up 3,899 passing yards, averaging 324.9 yards per game with a completion rate of 65.4%. He's thrown 32 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. On the other side, Nix boasts 3,906 passing yards, averaging 325.5 yards per game, with an impressive 78.6% completion rate. He's thrown an incredible 37 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions. Plus, Nix has added 159 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns to his name, carrying the ball 47 times. You know I'm locking in UW here. You're going to give me 9.5 points in a Championship game with a Heisman Trophy candidate leading the offense vs. a team they already beat 1x this year? I'm taking it. UO could win this straight up, but it's going to be close. There's nothing fishy in Seattle here with the spread, Vegas is trying to screw with you. Don't overthink this. Back the DAWGS! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CFB ATS Play |

12-01-23 | Wizards v. Magic -11 | 125-130 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Magic -11 After last night's 0-2 showing in the NBA, two bad beats I might say, I'm looking at this game tonight, and hoping it's not one of those "Crazy Association Games." The Washington Wizards (3-15, 8-10 ATS, 2-9 AWAY) taking on the Orlando Magic (13-5, 15-3 ATS, 8-1 HOME) tonight. Tip-off is at 7pm ET from the AMWAY Center in Orlando, FL. Magic are -11pt favorites, the O/U is set at 238. ML bettors can get -525 on ORL, and +420 on WASH. (But why?) Magic own a 3-0 record L3 (also 3-0 ATS) vs. the Wizards. Averaging 125PPG to WASH's 113PPG in those 3. When one team keeps doing something over and over again it tells me I should bet on it. Case in point. Tonight I'm on the Magic -11. They're after a consecutive wins team record tonight. They last won 9 straight in 2010/11. Two days ago Orlando whooped the Wizards 139-120, so we have some recent matchup data to work off of, and work off it we will. Wizards have LOST 10/11. Sure Fultz and Carter Jr. are still OUT tonight, but look at the guys stepping up and playing productive minutes. Suggs, & Anthony combined with what Wagner and Banchero is doing is almost unfair. I'm 80% sure Banchero (Ankle) plays tonight, but I'm of the opinion they don't need him to get this cover tonight. Stats. Magic scoring 118PPG at home, Wiz allowing 122PPG on the road. (OUCH). Magic better on the boards, plus they grab 2-3 more steals per game than WAS. The Magic are the 3rd best defensive team in the NBA. Trends. Wizards 3-15 SU this year, allowing 125+ points in 6 of the L8 games. Where's the defense here? They're 1-10 in their L11. 5-10 ATS L15 vs. Magic, and 2-15 SU on the road L17. Magic 15-3 ATS L16 games. They just keep covering. #1 in the Association come to think of it. They're also 8-0 SU L8. 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 7-0 ATS L7 vs. Eastern Conference teams. Rollins is OUT tonight for the Wizards. No backdoor cover tonight! I'm on Orlando all the way! YOU know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

12-01-23 | New Mexico State +11.5 v. Liberty | 35-49 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 41 m | Show | |
New Mexico +11.5 The Aggies (10-3, 7-1 CUSA, 11-2 ATS, 5-2 AWAY) are coming in hot with 8 consecutive wins, facing off against the #22 Flames (12-0, 8-0 CUSA, 8-4 ATS, 7-0 HOME), who have had an even better season (undefeated) in the 2023 Conference USA Championship on Friday at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, VA. The game kicks off at 7pm ET and can be watched on CBS Sports. Weather looks to be a non-factor (mid 50's 25% chance of rain, less than 5mph winds in the forecast). This is a Liberty home game (in case you were wondering with a lot of the other games this week being neutral site) When it comes to the Moneyline (ML), New Mexico State stands at +320, while Liberty holds -425. Unless you're betting on NMSU I'd strongly avoid the ML in this one. Looking at the ATS odds, Liberty is favored at -11.5 (-110), and the total (O/U) is set at 56.5. Both teams have a ton to play for. Liberty is playing to get into the Group of 5 upper rankings of bowl teams. NMSU wants a conference title. Liberty's undefeated record makes them a solid 2-score favorite, I get that, I even respect it, a little bit, but they're only 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games. Have there been better teams ATS this season than NMSU? If you backed the Aggies this year, you did quite well, as they boast a 9-0-1 ATS record in their last 10 games, including three consecutive underdog covers, and yes, outright wins. If you're a fan, you had to love that impressive 31-10 victory over Auburn, hey? For this bet to pay off, we need New Mexico State to stay competitive and believe they can go toe-to-toe with Liberty for the full 60 minutes. They have to flip the field this time, and chip into that "TOP" that Liberty owned in the last game. The last time these two teams met, Liberty secured a 33-17 win and covered a -9.5 spread on September 9th. NMSU is 9-1 since that game. Jerry Kill's kids are having a hell of a year, and with this being their first conference title game you know the entire state is going to watching this game. It's massive in New Mexico. So, it's an intriguing matchup for all the football enthusiasts out there. Trends, New Mex are 10-0 ATS L10, 8-0 SU L8, 6-0 ATS L6 on the road, 4-1 ATS L5 in December, NMSU are also 5-1 SU L6 playing as a dog. I'm banking on NMSU going all in on this matchup. I'm all in on them. They'll cover the +11.5. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play |
