12-15-23 | Connecticut v. Gonzaga +4.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
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.

12-15-23 | Pacers v. Wizards UNDER 261.5 | 123-137 | Win | 100 | 1 h 13 m | Show | |
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. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA O/U Play |

12-14-23 | Thunder +2 v. Kings | 123-128 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
OKC +2 The (15-7, 15-6-1 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) OKC Thunder take on the (13-9, 12-10 ATS, 7-3 HOME) Sacramento Kings on Thursday night with a 10pm ET tip from the Golden 1 Center, in Sacramento, CA. 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. For the Kings, they're 3-6 ATS L9 in December, and 1-5 ATS L6 as a DOG. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS 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 | 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 |

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.

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 |

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 | 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!

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 |

12-09-23 | 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 | 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 | 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 |

12-08-23 | Kings -1.5 v. Suns | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
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 |

12-08-23 | Hawks v. 76ers -8.5 | 114-125 | Win | 100 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
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 | Pelicans v. Lakers -115 | 89-133 | Win | 100 | 30 h 5 m | Show | |
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 |

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.

Arizona State -2 In college basketball action Wednesday night, Arizona State (5-2, 3-4 ATS) is set to host SMU (6-3, 3-5 ATS). The game will tip off at 10:00pm ET on Wednesday at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, AZ, and you can catch it on FOX Sports Network. 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.

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. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

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 |

Under 133 Charlotte (4-3, 5-2 ATS, 3-1 HOME) faces off against Stetson (5-3, 4-2 ATS, 1-3 AWAY) at 7:00 PM ET from Dale F. 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 |

12-04-23 | Iowa +12.5 v. Purdue | 68-87 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Iowa +12.5 Iowa (5-2) takes on the Purdue Boilermakers (7-1, 0-1 B10) in a conference matchup this Monday night. 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 |

12-02-23 | 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. Lakers win by 9-12. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS 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 |

12-01-23 | St. Mary's v. Boise State +3.5 | 60-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Boise State +3.5 I've got a last-minute addition for you. After some number-crunching and waiting for team updates, let's talk about Saint Mary’s (3-4, 2-4 ATS) going up against Boise State (3-3, 1-5 ATS) this Friday at 10:30 PM ET. A neutral court game at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls, ID. You can catch the game on Fox Sports. 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 | 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 |

11-30-23 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 228 | 114-120 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
UNDER 228 Clippers (8-9, 7-10 ATS, 3-6 AWAY) vs. Warriors (8-10, 7-11 ATS, 3-6 HOME) tonight in San Francisco. Tip off at 10pm ET start time on NBA TV. These two last played on 3/15/23 a Clippers 134-126 win. Those were much different lineups than we're seeing tonight. Clips come in with momentum off of last nights win in SacTown, Warriors rested after a loss in SacTown on Tuesday. I'm backing the UNDER tonight. Clips have won 3/5, Warriors have lost 3/5. Big minutes last night for Harden (39), George (40), Kawhi (37) Clips come into this one on a B2B, and the Warriors are 2-men down with Payton II, and Paul likely sitting. Green being back in the lineup always helps the defensive side of a Warriors game. Sure GSW plays high scoring games, but the Clippers can get after it on defense. Expect to see more Moses Moody tonight. (Right now, you're saying... Who?). LAC 19th in PPG at 112PPG, GSW 114PPG. LAC 108PPG allowed on D (6th in NBA), GSW 114PPG (20th). In my mind tonight defense "trumps' offense. Recent NBA trends indicate that the under bet has been successful for the Clippers in various scenarios. Notably, the under has hit in their L4 road games against teams with a home winning percentage below .400 and also in their L4 following a straight-up win. Additionally, the under has been a reliable choice in 9 of L10 games after scoring 100 or more previous game. UNDER has also hit in 8/9 where their opponents allowed 100 points or more in their previous game. We're going to see defense tonight. Expect LAC to slow it down. Back the UNDER. Hop on!

11-30-23 | UL - Lafayette +3.5 v. Samford | 65-88 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
ULL +3.5 Tonight at the Pete Hanna Center in Homewood, Alabama, Samford (5-2, 1-5 ATS, 5-0 HOME) is on a hot streak with five consecutive wins, and they're ready to face the Ragin’ Cajuns (5-2, 2-3 ATS, 0-1 AWAY), who are also in good form with three straight victories. The game is set for an 8:00 PM ET tip-off on ESPN+. In terms of odds, the Bulldogs are the favorites, with a 4-point advantage over the Ragin’ Cajuns, and the over/under is set at 153. These two last met up on 12/10/22. A 75-58 ULL victory! For those looking to bet straight up, the moneyline odds are Samford -181 and Louisiana +152. Both clubs come into this one averaging 83PPG, but ULL is the better defensive club only allowing 70PPG to Samford's 74PPG. From the charity strip SAM is 75%, while ULL is 72%. ULL is the 3rd best 3-pt shooting team in the nation at 40%. SAM is 35%. SAM has the rebounding edge. We’re on Lafayette here, grabbing the points for a few reasons. They’ve won 3 in a row and 2 of those wins were impressive as they took down Buffalo and Long Beach State. They put up 92 in the win over Long Beach as this offense has been clicking here to start the season. They’ve done it with a combination of controlling the paint and getting their shooters open. They average nearly 83PPG and they’re giving up just 70 in the process. UL has been good at turning defense into offense as well. They force turnovers and will get out and run in transition. Sanford has struggled with fast paced teams and the advantage here sits with Lafayette. Tempo will be everything and Sanford will be on their heels. Trends, ULL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 11-3 SU in their L14 in November. Lastly, the Cajuns are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. On the flip side, Samford are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, plus they're 4-12 SU in their L16 vs. Sun Belt teams. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-30-23 | Pistons v. Knicks UNDER 219 | 112-118 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
UNDER 219 Detroit (2-16, 1-8 AWAY, 7-11 ATS) in the Big Apple tonight to play the Knicks. (10-7, 5-3 HOME, 9-6-2 ATS). Tip off at MSG is 7:30pm ET. This is their first matchup this season. Knicks opened this one as a -2pt favorite. Last year NY won all 5 matchups. Last game was on 1/15/23 a NY 117-104 W staying UNDER the 225 total. Tonight's total is 219. Opened at 222.5. I still think we're getting good value on the UNDER here. This is my last NBA play for the day. Going to the Eastern conference and playing on the UNDER in the Pistons/Knicks matchup. This will be the last game of NYK's 4 game homestand. Detroit comes in on the 2nd night of a B2B, with some DET->NYC travel. They were blown out by LAL last night 133-107. We're now at 15 losses in a row for DET, and things aren't good in the MotorCity. Cunningham is one of the few bright spots for DET he's consistently scoring at least. Thompson and Livers are helping out too, but this team is just so inconsistent from night to night. Some bodies missing from this game that helps this play. Joe Harris OUT, Bojan and Monte (?). For NYC Arcidiacono and Brown are (?). Stats, neither team is scary on OFF. DET 109ppg (27th), NY 110ppg (26th). Knicks are the best defensive team in the NBA currently allowing only 110ppg (1st). DET shoots only 29 3pt'ers per game putting them 29th. NY 12th with 36 3's att. per. Knicks will get after it tonight on D, DET ranks 29th in the NBA with 17 TO's per game. Knicks took down Charlotte 115-91 on Tuesday in tourney action. Knicks have now held 7 teams to fewer than 100 points. No Pistons average more than 13ppg. You see where I'm going with this? Total has gone UNDER in all of NYC L5 games vs. Central Div. teams. If DET gets down early they can't keep up, they're proving that this year. They can't come back in games. It's a losing culture. Misery loves company. I expect DET to bring NYC down in this one. Expect a bad game to watch, with some defense sprinkled in by NYC. Barrett, Grimes, Quickley, Randle can all get after it on D. Maybe parlay this with a Knicks spread win? Your call. Back the UNDER. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play |

Texas Tech +2.5 On Thursday, it's Texas Tech (5-1, 2-4 ATS) taking on Butler (5-2, 6-1 ATS) at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The action kicks off at 6:30 PM ET, and you can catch it on Fox Sports 1. Now, here's the scoop: the Bulldogs are just a slight 1.5-point favorite in this matchup, and the over/under is set at 137.5. Last week, the Red Raiders defeated Michigan 73-57 in the Battle for Atlantis, ending the event with a 2-1 record. The Bulldogs (5-2) had a similar performance in Orlando at the ESPN Events Invitational. They won two games in a row against Penn State and Boise State after a close loss to #19 FAU. We're backing the Red Raiders here, as they have value in this spot. Butler isn't overwhelming opponents like they used to do in the past. The Bulldogs are a lower tier team in terms of total offense, ranking 78th in total points per game. They have struggled from behind the arc as well, ranking 165th in the entire nation, shooting at. 33.5% clip. Texas Tech is a much deeper team and one that has started 5-1 this year. They are one of the best in the entire nation on the defensive side, allowing just 69PPG. They swarm to the ball and throw out many different looks to frustrate the opposing defense. This is the kind of game where they can overwhelm the Bulldogs on the defensive end and force them into a lot of turnovers and tough shots. Trends time, TT are 5-1 SU L6, and 6-1 SU L7 in November. Butler are 2-5 SU L7 in November. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Clippers -1.5 As always with NBA we're waiting for something, anything with regards to injuries at this point of the day. NO news is good news I guess?! Big Association matchup in the Western Conference between the Clippers (7-9, 6-10 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) and the Kings (10-6, 9-7 ATS, 5-1 HOME). It's happening at 10pm ET at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA, and you can catch it on NBATV. The opening odds show the Moneyline (ML) with the Clippers at -125 and the Kings at +105. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 231.5 points. The last time they met was a 128-127 SAC win on 3/3/23. Last season, the Kings dominated the Clippers, winning 3 out of 4 games. This season's first face-off between them is tonight. In their last 10 matchups, the Kings hold a 6-4 advantage and are 6-4 ATS. The Clippers are struggling, with two losses in their last three games, including a disappointing 113-104 loss to the Nuggets as 11.5-point favorites. The one thing the Clips can hang their hat on this year though is their defense. In big games they get it. They're #6 in the league allowing 108PPG. (SAC is 21st at 115PPG) The Kings are coming off a thrilling win against the Warriors (Malik Monk FTW), but now they face a back-to-back challenge against the Clippers. Less than 24 hours rest and now you get a rested LAC team? Advantage to the road team. This Clippers side knew things would be interesting when James Harden walked through the door. Harden has averaged 14-6-2 since joining the Clippers and they’re starting to learn to play as a unit with him in the lineup. Those numbers will only go up and they should have a field day with this tired Kings side. Los Angeles has the playmakers to run and that’s exactly what they’re going to do here. Golden State turned the tempo up many notches last night and if the Clippers do that, the Kings simply cannot sustain that in back to back nights. This Clippers have far too many weapons for a fatigued Kings side to deal with. It won't be easy, but they're riding a two-game winning streak I guess. Tough loss not having Keegan Murray in the lineup tonight. I think he'll still sit based off of what I'm reading. He'll be missed by SAC. Trends, Clippers are a GOD-y 17-2 SU in their L19 vs. SAC when playing on the road. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Tonight's game is nationally televised on ESPN. The Moneyline odds stand at Duke -210 and Arkansas +172, with the Over/Under (O/U) total set at 149.5 points. In their recent game, Duke found themselves trailing by 10 points against Southern Indiana before bouncing back in the second half to grab a 80-62 victory. Prior to that, Duke convincingly defeated La Salle with a score of 95-66. Arkansas, with a 4-3 record, recently dropped out of the Top 25 rankings following back-to-back losses to Memphis (84-79) and #14 North Carolina (87-72) during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. This game presents a road test for Duke, marking their first-ever appearance at Arkansas. While these two teams have crossed paths four times before, this is their first regular-season meeting. Three of their previous encounters occurred in the NCAA Tournament, with one in the Preseason NIT. The initial meeting took place in the 1990 Final Four, where Duke emerged victorious with a 97-83 win. In November of the same year, they clashed in the NIT, resulting in a 98-88 win for Arkansas. Their most recent matchup was in March 2022 during the Elite Eight, where Duke grabbed a W. I anticipate Arkansas will put up a strong fight against Duke tonight. They possess the necessary skills both inside and outside the paint and on the glass. This team has experience in handling high-pressure situations, and I believe they will stay competitive in this game, keeping the score within reach. I'm on Arkansas to get the job done. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Colorado +2.5 v. Colorado State | 83-88 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Colorado +2.5 Tonight, we've got an exciting State Rivalry matchup on our hands. It's the Colorado Buffaloes (5-1, 3-3 ATS, 0-0 AWAY) facing off against the Colorado State Rams (6-0, 5-1 ATS, 3-0 HOME) at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado. The game is set to tip off at 9 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network. When we look at the opening odds, the Moneyline offers Colorado at +134 and Colorado State at -162. The Over/Under (O/U) for this game is set at 148.5 points. The Rams have been on fire, ranking as the #21 team in the country, and they've started the season strong with impressive victories over BC and Creighton, even covering the spread in their last 5 games. On the other hand, the Buffaloes are coming off a notable 85-68 victory against Iona in their last outing. While Colorado started the season 3-0 ATS, they've struggled in their recent 3 games, going 0-3 ATS. It's worth noting that the Rams have lost their last three matchups against CU. Colorado won the last matchup 93-65 on 8/12/22 in Boulder. Before that on 13/12/2019 CU won 56-48 in Ft. Collins. The pressure is on Colorado State here on Wednesday. The Rams enter play here ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since March of 2022. They play around their 6 foot center, Isaiah Stevens, which isn’t a bad thing here in this matchup for the Buffs. Colorado’s defense is swarming. They pride themselves on controlling the paint and they matchup well with teams that like to play inside. Coming into play here, they’re allowing just 67.2 points against, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Aside from the loss to Florida State, this offense is extremely dangerous too. They’re putting up nearly 88 points a game with their speed and ability to shoot the 3. Colorado is going to put relentless pressure on here and really look to fry and force the Rams into some tough shots and turnovers. Trends, CU are 5-1 SU L6, 14-6 ATS L20 vs. CST, and 6-3 SU L9 vs. CST. CU are also 8-1 L9 vs. MWC teams. CST are 1-5 SU in their L6 vs. Pac 12 teams. My pick for this clash of rivals is backing the Buffaloes as they take on the home favorite Rams, who are currently favored by -2.5 points. While it's the Buffs' first road game of the season, I believe they have what it takes to keep it close and maybe even pull off an outright win. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-29-23 | Suns -2.5 v. Raptors | 105-112 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
Suns -2.5 Late Add. Plays the SUNS -2.5. The Suns (11-6) are hitting the road to take on the Raptors (8-10) this Wednesday, with the game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. These two teams split their series 1-1 last season, and this is their first face-off this year. Now, when it comes to the Raptors this season, it's been a bit of a mixed bag. They've had their ups and downs, and recently, they've dropped two consecutive games, including a 115-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday. On the other hand, Phoenix is riding high on a 7-game winning streak, with their most recent victory being a 116-113 win against New York last Sunday, where they were considered +6.5 underdogs. For those looking at the Moneyline (ML), the Suns are at -135, while the Raptors sit at +110 for those who prefer straight-up bets. The initial odds Against the Spread (ATS) favor the Suns at -1.5 (-115). As for the Over/Under (O/U) total, it's set at 222.5, but I'm steering clear of that one. What's crystal clear here is that Phoenix is the stronger team, and KD will PLAY tonight, which makes the Suns even scarier, so, things could take a bad turn for the Raptors quickly. Adding to that, the Raptors faced some travel troubles in NYC, getting back to Toronto as late as 4 a.m., while the Suns are well-rested. The choice seems pretty evident. Some trends: Phoenix is 6-0 SU L6 on the road, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 vs TOR. Plus, Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its L4, and they're 5-2 ATS in their L7. Also, Phoenix are 6-1 SU in their L7 against Atlantic Division teams. On the other side, Toronto are 1-6 SU in their L7 as a DOG. Injury updates, Durant is IN, Beal is OUT. TOR looks healthy, except for tired no doubt. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Cleveland State +3 v. Youngstown State | 69-94 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 53 m | Show | |
Cleveland State +3 Wednesday the Cleveland State Vikings (4-2, 3-2-1 ATS, 0-2 AWAY) take on the Youngstown State Penguins (3-3, 2-2 ATS, 3-0 HOME) at the Beeghly Center, in Youngstown, OH. Watch this one on ESPN+. Tip off is at 6:30pm ET. H2H L10 matchups between these two teams has CST up 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS. They've averaged 76PPG to YST's 73PPG. Last time they played each other was 2/12/23 a CLEVST 81 - 78 win. We’re on the Vikings here, grabbing the points against Youngstown State on Wednesday. These Horizon League foes battle here and the Vikings have been the far more consistent team out of the gates. The Penguins have 3 wins, but 2 of those came against non division 1 opponents. The other was against a Utah Tech team, who is new to the division 1 side over the last couple seasons. Youngstown State has had their share of issues on the defensive end. They’re giving up 73 points per game and they simply do not have much of an offensive spark to keep pace with that. This Vikings team is not only deep, but they have plenty of weapons that can attack. Where this game will be won is on the defensive end though for CSU. They pride themselves with putting up a ton of pressure and they’ve been able to hold opponents to under 66 points per game. They force turnovers and are one of the best at turning defense into offense. Youngstown State will struggle all night here on the offensive end. ON offense CST avg. 78.9PPG, YST 74PPG. Some trends, CST are 4-1-1 L6 following a SU win, plus, CST are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 9-3 ATS in their L12 taking on the Penguins. Cleveland State are also 5-1 SU in their L6 vs. YST. Lastly, CST are 7-2 SU in their L9 against an opponent in the Horizon conference. On the other side YST are 3-6 ATS L9, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Horizon Conference teams. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Rockets +5.5 This is an NBA In-Season Tourney game, and if Houston can win it they'd have a spot booked in the tourney's knockout round. Tuesday night the Houston Rockets (8-6, 10-3-1 ATS, 0-5 AWAY) take on the Dallas Mavericks (10-6, 8-8 ATS, 4-2 HOME) in the battle of Texas (NBA Edition). This one tips off at 8:30pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. Mavs are a -5.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 233.5. Mavs averaging 119PPG, Rockets 109PPG, both have 47% FG%, Mavs 37% from 3, Rockets 36%, Rockets average 44 RPG, Mavs 42. Last time these two met was 1/2/23 a 111-106 Mavs win, the Rockets covered the +7 in that one. Houston hasn't beaten Dallas since a 101-92 win on 11/16/22... In their last game FRIDAY the Rockets took down the Nuggets 105-86. Mavs lost to the Clippers 107-88 on Saturday night. A game we played against the Mavs on the spread. When something keeps happening you have to keep betting on it...right? The Rockets just keep covering games. Mavs won't have the bodies to keep up with what Houston can throw at them. Balanced scoring wins games! Houston has that in droves. Sengun, VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Smith Jr. It doesn't end and I'm backing the road team on Tuesday. Doncic will play on Tuesday (he's been cleared), Lively however, is still OUT, as is Kleber. Thompson, Oladipo are out for Houston. Mavs are 7-3 in the L10, but Rockets are 6-4 ATS L10 vs. Dallas. More trends, Houston 6-0 ATS L6, 8-3 SU L11, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. Western Conference teams. Dallas 2-4 SU L6, 2-4 ATS L6, 2-8 ATS L10 games at home, and are 2-9 ATS L11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Rockets 8-0-1 L9 following an ATS win, and 6-0-1 ATS L7 following a SU win. Mavs have lost 3 of last 4, and I'm going to take Houston +5.5 until they prove me wrong. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-28-23 | Bucks -2.5 v. Heat | 131-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Bucks -2.5 The Bucks (12-5, 6-11 ATS) are on the road to face the Heat (10-7, 8-9 ATS) at the Kaseya Center for an NBA in-season tournament matchup. The game is set to tip-off at 7:30pm ET in Miami, FL and will be broadcasted on TNT. Bucks are -154 on the ML, Heat +130, the O/U is set at 225. These two teams have already faced off once this season, with the Bucks emerging victorious in their first meeting on October 30th in Milwaukee, winning 122-114 and covering the 7.5-point spread. In their most recent games, the Heat concluded a challenging 5-game road trip against the Nets, resulting in a 112-97 loss. Meanwhile, the Bucks secured a 108-102 victory over the Trail Blazers in Milwaukee. Historically, Miami holds the advantage in their head-to-head matchups, winning 75 out of the 127 meetings between the two teams. However, in the previous season, the clubs evenly split their four-game regular-season series, each claiming two wins. Looking at key statistical categories, Miami ranks 17th in offensive performance (112.1 points per game) and eighth in defense (110.0 points allowed per game). On the other hand, Milwaukee ranks fourth in offense (118.5 points per game) but is 22nd in defense (116.0 points allowed per game). Injuries we're watching for tonight include: For the Bucks, Middleton (?), For MIA, Robinson (PROB), Adebayo (PROB), Butler (?), and Highsmith (?) Trends I'm excited about, the Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their L7, are 7-1 SU in their L8, plus they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the other side Miami are 1-6 ATS in their L7 at home. I just can't trust Miami right now. This is a revenge game of epic proportions and one team will be way more motivated to win it than the other. That means a LOT to me. Bucks cruise to their 3rd straight W. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-28-23 | Notre Dame v. South Carolina -7.5 | 53-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Gamecocks -7.5 (3-2, 2-3 ATS) Notre Dame are taking on (5-0, 4-1 ATS) South Carolina tonight. Tip off is at 7pm ET from Colonial Life Arena, in Columbia SC, you can watch it on SECN. SC is a 7.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 133. We're on South Carolina here, as they are taking on the Fighting Irish on Tuesday night. ND come in off of a 75-55 win over MD Eastern. As for SC they come in off of a 75-68 win over Grand Canyon. The Gamecocks are the better team in all facets really coming into play on Tuesday. They are off to a perfect 5-0 start to their campaign and they have a Desert Diamond Tourney win to build off of. This is their best start in years and they're doing it with solid production at both ends of the floor. They're led by BJ Mack and Meech Johnson, but also have got a lot of contributions from the Vandy transfer Myles Stute. Notre Dame is in store for a long season as they have struggled against the better teams on their schedule. They simply don't have the production to keep up here. They lack any sort of spark on the offensive end and this will be the most physical team they have seen thus far. The Gamecocks can impose their will in the paint and cause a lot of issues for the Fighting Irish. I also feel like the GC are the more experienced team here, and coming off of a nice rest period will have charged batteries and all hands on deck to take down the Irish. Trends I've dug up, the Irish are 5-15 SU in their L20, and 0-10 in their L10 on the road. Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS L8, 5-0 L5, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. ACC teams. SC 3-0 on the ML this season. ND is 1-1 as dogs this season. I'm backing SC on Tuesday night. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-27-23 | UC-Santa Barbara v. Fresno State | 69-65 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Fresno State PK UCSB (6th in the Big West, 2-2, 1-2 ATS) take on Fresno State (9th in MWC, 3-2, 1-3 ATS) tonight in college hoops betting action. You can catch this one at the Save Mart Center, in Fresno CA, at 9pm ET on MWC Network. We’re backing the Bulldogs here as they look to bounce back in a big way. There are a lot of eyes starting to come down on this Fresno State side. They’re off a 31 point loss to James Madison and have struggled out of the gate. Coming into this season, there were some big hopes for a team that returned starters and hit the transfer portal for some big time players.This is a spot for them where they’re being undervalued. After the sluggish start, the line has gone too low. The Bulldogs still have a lot of talent and they matchup well with this UCSB team.This UCSB side has two wins, one against an FCS opponent and another against Le Moyne, who is new to the division 1 side of things. Otherwise, they’ve struggled even worse and in terms of getting out of the gates quick. Fresno State is going to push the tempo in this one. They’re at their best when they can get out and run, which should put UCSB in an uncomfortable spot early. Fresno State is in a spot where they must win to put some relaxation around the program. Look for them to come out firing here. FST come into this one much better on D at 76PPG to SB's 80PPG, plus they can really get after you on D with 8 steals per game. Dating back to last season the UCSB are 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 NOVEMBER games, and FST are 4-2 ATS in their L6 at home, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 vs. Big West teams. Last one FST is 2-0 on the ML so far this season. I'm on the Bulldogs tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -4.5 | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
76ers -4.5 Late Add. National TV game on Monday night, the Lakers (10-7) and the 76ers (11-5) are set to face off at the Wells Fargo Center, with the game scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV. These two teams haven't clashed yet this season, but in the 2022/23 season, they met twice. Last year in Philly, the Sixers were favored by 5 points against the Lakers and ended up defeating them by 11 points. I'm anticipating a similar outcome this time around. The Lakers are coming into this game with some momentum, having secured a 121-115 road victory against the Cavs on Saturday. They have won four of their last five, although James's availability for tonight's game is still uncertain as of 5 p.m. ET. The Sixers, on the other hand, put an end to a two-game losing streak with a 127-123 road win against the OKC Saturday. Embiid was the standout player with 35 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks. He scored most of his points at the charity stripe (19/21) and Phili snapped OKC's 6 game win streak. Many believe he's the best big man in the NBA right now, and he's nearly unstoppable down low. Just ask Chet Holmgren after Saturday. Maxey is almost unstoppable as well right now for Nick Nurse as he's averaging 26.4PPG. For those looking to bet, the Moneyline stands at Lakers +185 and 76ers -225. The opening spread favors the 76ers at -5.5 (-115), with the Over/Under set at 231.5. Keep an eye on the injury updates for Monday night, with Davis expected to play, Hachimura out, LeBron questionable, and Oubre Jr. unavailable for the Sixers. Lakers 3-7 ATS in L10 vs. Phili, and o-6 SU in their L6 in Phili (0-5 ATS too). Sixers are 11-5 ATS L16, and 11-4 SU L15 games. Plus they're 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Phili is a tough, tough team to defend, and with a rest day Sunday, and a rest day Tuesday they'll be all hands on deck tonight. I'm giving the 4.5. The City Of Philadelphia is getting quite the confidence boost of late with their teams! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Manhattan +12 It's the 2023 edition of the Battle Of the Bronx. This one goes back to 1911/12. Manhattan won that famous matchup 20-19. A real barn-burner hey? Tonight at 7pm ET from the Rose Hill Gym in NY, NY. Watch it on ESPN+. These two are 3-3 vs. each other dating back 10 years. Manhattan had a tough time in their previous match, losing 90-60 to UConn, but that was kind of expected. Meanwhile, the Rams didn't quite make it against the Golden Flashes, losing 79-72 on Monday. When this game comes down to the wire and the charity stripe becomes a factor I trust the Jaspers more. They're shooting 74%, to Fordham's 60%. Manhattan 2-1 L3, Fordham 1-2 L3. Trends, Manhattan 14-6 L20 ATS, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Fordham. Jaspers are 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 following a straight up loss of more than 20, are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Jaspers are also 8-1 ATS L9 on the road, and 13-7 SU L20 vs. Fordham. These two last played on 11/12/21 a 66-60 Manhattan win. I'm going with the dogs on Monday. Grab the points and smile all the way to the bank. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-26-23 | Harvard +7 v. Indiana | 76-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
Harvard +7 Sunday 5-1 (4-1 ATS) Harvard Crimson take on the 4-1 (0-4-1 ATS) Indiana Hoosiers from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in Indianapolis, IN. This one tips off at 4:30pm ET. Harvard (5-1) has clinched three wins on the road, including a recent 76-70 victory against Colgate. This Sunday caps off their four-game road streak, with previous wins at Rice and UMass. Indiana hasn't played since their 74-66 W over Louisville in the Empire Classic at MSG on Nov. 20. They did take a loss, 77-57, against UConn in the same event. Their only previous encounter with Harvard was in December 1973 when Indiana won 97-76 in Bloomington, Ind. Hardly relevant, but I figured I'd tell you! LOL... We're on Harvard here, grabbing the points against Indiana. The Crimson come in 5-1 overall and 3-1 in road situations thus far. This team hasn't been phased as they look to be one of the favorites in the Ivy League. They have leaned on their physicality on the defensive end to be the difference thus. Coming into play on Sunday, the Crimson rank 13th in the entire nation in field goal percentage against. They are holding the opposition to just 36.7% from the field right now. That bodes well as they get a cold Indiana team that shoots just 23.4% from behind the arc. This will be a grind it out kind of game from the start, which favors Harvard. Look for this one to be close throughout, with Harvard having their chances to steal it. Trends, Harvard are 4-1 ATS in their L5, plus they're 5-1 SU in their L6, and are 5-0 ATS in their L5 games against a Big 10 opponent. On the other side, Indiana are 0-5-1 ATS in their L6. Back the Crimson on Sunday in CBB betting action. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-25-23 | Mavs v. Clippers +2.5 | 88-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Clippers +2.5 In this matchup, we've got the Mavs sitting at 10-5 (8-7 ATS, 6-3 AWAY) going head-to-head against the 6-8 (5-9 ATS, 4-2 HOME) Clippers. They're set to clash on Saturday night at 10:30pm ET at Crypto.com Arena in LA. The Mavs know how to put up points, ranking at #3 with 121PPG, while the Clippers bring the heat on defense, sitting at #8 with just 109PPG allowed. This showdown in LA promises to be a Saturday night classic. The Clippers had a winning streak snapped with a 116-106 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, and they're out of the in-season tournament. On the other hand, the Mavs managed to hold off the Lakers with a 104-101 win, but they'll miss rookie center Dereck Lively II due to a lower back contusion. Lively's absence is a significant blow to the Mavs' game plan. Looking at the trends, the Clips are 3-3 ATS at home, and the Mavs are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games against the Clippers. Dallas hasn't had much luck on Saturdays, going 0-7 SU in their last 7 Saturday games. The Clippers bounce back strong after double-digit home losses, going 4-1 ATS in such scenarios. In their head-to-head matchups, Dallas has won 3 of the last 5 SU. However, for tonight, my pick is the Clippers at home, with the advantage of grabbing 2.5 points. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-25-23 | North Dakota State v. Grand Canyon UNDER 144.5 | 71-86 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 18 m | Show | |
Under 144.5 Saturday night it is North Dakota State heading into Grand Canyon and the Under is worth a move in this spot. Both of these offenses have struggled at times to start the season and with that, we're going to see a slower paced game. Looking at the Bison first, they sit at 148th in the nation in total offense. Their inconsistencies come from their struggles to find open shooting lanes for their outside attack. They have found success on the defensive end at times, as they knock teams off their rhythm with their ability to slow the game down. Grand Canyon plays a much similar style as well. They rank 109th in field goal percentage and it gets way worse when they're shooting from behind the arc, as they sit at 30.8% from there. Expect both teams to struggle with the defensive pressure the other brings, resulting in a lower scoring game. A couple trends, the total has gone UNDER in 8 of North Dakota State's L11, and in 4 of their L5 against WAC teams. Expect the D's to show up on Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

UNDER 161 Oregon (4-1) is set to face off against Alabama (4-1) at Raider Arena this Saturday, with the game starting at 4:00 PM ET. Alabama takes the favorite spot, with a 7.5-point advantage against the Ducks. Both teams come in at 4-1. The line opened at 157.5. The Ducks are on a hot streak, winning their last three matchups. The Crimson Tide have a 4-1-0 track record when it comes to surpassing the point total, while games featuring the Ducks have gone over in 3 out of 5 instances. We expect the defenses to step up on Saturday. In their recent game, Oregon (4-1) suffered an 88-82 loss to Santa Clara in the second opening-round match. Alabama had a tough first half, scoring only 33 points while conceding 38 to Ohio State, marking a season low and a season high, respectively. Notably, the under has hit in all of the Crimson Tide's last four games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous match. The Ducks can play some tight defense as evidenced by their 67-54 win over the Rattlers last week. I'm expecting this type of game. Don't sweat this UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-24-23 | Spurs +10.5 v. Warriors | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Spurs +10.5 In the upcoming In-Season Tournament clash, San Antonio (3-12, 5-10 ATS) takes on Golden State (7-9, 6-10 ATS) at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN) at the Chase Center. It's the Spurs' first face-off with GSW this season, and it's worth noting that last season, GSW took all 4 H2H matchups. Currently, the Spurs find themselves in a tough spot, having suffered 10 consecutive losses, including a recent 109-102 defeat to the Clippers Wednesday. Coach Pop is certainly working hard to guide this youthful squad. Meanwhile, the Warriors are also facing a rough patch, with seven losses in their last eight games, including a 123-115 defeat against the Suns on Wednesday. Notably, Draymond Green is still suspended and will miss this showdown against the talented young French sensation. San Antonio is worth the move in this one as they catch a lot of points against Golden State. This line is a little inflated given the Spurs losing streak, but this is the kind of game they’re going to get up for. Motivation will not be any higher as they want this run to end and also upsetting the Warriors would give them a huge boost. We’re grabbing the points as they should keep this close throughout. Golden State has been subpar at best too. Battling injuries and suspensions at times, they are just 7-9 and have dropped 7 of their last 8. It’s been an ugly stretch where they have been a mess defensively. San Antonio can put a little pressure on them early in this one and utilize their youth to play with speed. They can match the tempo the Warriors like to try to use, resulting in some easy transition buckets. Given the current circumstances, I can't find any good reason to pick the Warriors to cover the spread in this matchup. My inclination is to bet against them in this situation. Our bet is on Wembanyama making a strong appearance tonight, as he faces off against Klay and Steph. Some trends, GSW are 1-6 ATS in their L7, are 1-7 SU in their L8, are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games at home, and lastly, they're 1-6 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the Western Conference. Let's get on board with the Spurs tonight to play a game like they played against the Suns a couple weeks ago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

UNDER 216.5 10-5 (3-5 AWAY) Nuggets take on the 7-6 (7-1 HOME) Rockets tonight at 8pm ET. I'm sure this is a popular pick tonight for most NBA cappers, but needless to say it feels like the right pick. I think they've got it all wrong here. Sometimes, when things don't seem right, I steer clear of the point spread. This game is one of those where the oddsmakers are playing tricks. In my opinion, Houston should be the favorite. So, for tonight, I'm going with the UNDER. After their 124-119 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, Denver has now lost three out of their last four games. The Rockets managed to secure a 107-104 win over Denver back on Nov. 12, so there's some history between these two teams this season. In their most recent game, Houston dominated with a 111-91 home victory, marking their seventh consecutive win at the Toyota Center against the Grizzlies. Even though the total points seem low at 214.5, I would've still bet on the UNDER. But now they've bumped it up to 216.5? Alright then. It's worth noting that both the Rockets and the Nuggets play at a slow pace, ranking 3rd and 4th slowest in the NBA, respectively. Furthermore, both teams boast top 10 defensive lineups. So, it's looking like a game with fewer points on the horizon. Don't be fooled by the odds, trust your gut on this one. UNDER has hit in 13 of L18 for DVR, plus in 10 of the L12 for DVR vs. Western Conference teams. For HOU the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L7, and in 4 of the L6 vs. DVR. GO LOW! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-24-23 | Alabama v. Ohio State +8 | 81-92 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
Ohio State +8 In Destin, Florida, Ohio State (3-1, 1-3 ATS) goes against #15 Alabama (4-0, 4-0 ATS) Friday at Raider Arena. The game tips off at 7pm ET and will be broadcasted on CBS Sports. Let's break down the odds: Alabama holds a -330 Moneyline, while Ohio State comes in at +260. In terms of the spread, Alabama is favored by 7.5 points with a -118 line. The Over/Under for the game is set at 151.5 points. Ohio State recently secured a 73-56 victory over the Western Michigan Broncos but didn't cover the hefty 21.5-point spread. Meanwhile, Alabama dominated Mercer with a 98-67 win in their last outing. Ohio State and Alabama battled in the Emerald Coast Classic and we're on the Buckeyes here, with the points. Ohio State comes in 3-1 with the lone loss being to Texas A&M in a game that was close for a majority of it. Ohio State was able to turn the game into a grind, which is what they're going to do here in this matchup. Alabama loves to play fast and the Buckeyes can slow things down. Ohio State runs a half court offense that is going to turn this game into a slow pace. The Bucks have seen all 4 of their games in the 60s-70s so far and that is where they're going to want to be here. They'll keep this game close with their defense. They rank 61st in the NCAA, allowing just 63 points against. This will be the kind of game where they keep things close and have a chance to steal it outright in the end. I have faith on Friday that OST will get it done here. Trends, Alabama are 2-4 SU in their L6 played on a Friday when playing on the road. On the other side, Ohio State are 5-2 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-23-23 | NC State v. Vanderbilt +8.5 | 84-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +8.5 Happy Thanksgiving! Today at 10pm ET from the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV we get NC State (3-0, 2-1 ATS) taking on Vanderbilt (3-1, 1-3 ATS). These two schools, NC State and Vandy, have a bit of a history together. They faced off last December in Chicago, and the Wolfpack came out on top with a 70-66 win. Most of their recent matchups, five out of the last six, have taken place on a neutral court. The winner of Thursday's game will get a shot at the Vegas Showdown championship, where they'll face off against the victor of the BYU/ASU game. Meanwhile, the two teams that don't come out on top will battle it out for 3rd. Vanderbilt, with a 3-1 record, has been on a winning streak since they stumbled in their season opener against Presbyterian. They managed to secure victories against USC Upstate, UNC Greensboro, and Central Arkansas, with a total winning margin of 15 points. Vanderbilt is riding high after making it to the NIT Quarterfinals in the past two years. On the other side, NC State (3-0) has kicked off the season with three consecutive wins. This should be a good matchup, but we're going with the DOGS in this one. (Fingers crossed any of the 3 injured guys are back - no word yet, Lawrence, Lubin, Dort) Vandy are 15-4 SU in their L19, and we'll gladly grab the points here on Thursday in LV.

11-23-23 | Michigan State v. Arizona -5 | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 1 h 23 m | Show | |
Arizona -5 Happy Thanksgiving! Late add here. Crunched some numbers. On Thursday in Palm Springs, California, two ranked college basketball teams will face off: Arizona (5-0) and Michigan State (3-2). The game is set to start at 4 p.m. Eastern Time and will be televised on FOX. Arizona is favored with a moneyline of -225, while Michigan State stands at +180. In terms of the point spread, Arizona is giving up 5.5 points with odds of -105. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 146.5. Arizona, ranked #3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, has been on a hot streak, scoring 97 or more points in 4 of their 5 games and maintaining a perfect 5-0 record against the spread (ATS). Notably, they secured a significant victory against Duke approximately 10 days ago at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where they both faced Duke as a common opponent. On the other hand, Michigan State suffered a loss to Duke on Nov. 14, falling 74-65. UA is #5 in the nation on the glass, and NONE of MSU's starters had more than 5 boards vs. Alcorn St. last game. This could be the difference we're looking for here. UA averages 50RPG, and MSU struggles on the glass. UA has punch up and down the lineup, with 6 players averaging 11PPG. They're loaded with inside and outside shooters. This will be a test for MSU. Trends, MSU are 2-4 L6 ATS. On the other side, UA are 5-0 ATS in their L5, 5-0 SU L5, and 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Big 10 teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-23-23 | Gonzaga v. UCLA OVER 138 | 69-65 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
Over 138 I don't think these two squads like each other, but that's just me. This game should be a "doozy". UCLA (4-1) aims to extend their three-game winning streak as they take on Gonzaga (3-1). The Bulldogs are favored by 5.5 points in this matchup, with the game's total points set at 140. The Zags and Bruins clash in the late night game on Wednesday and we're backing the Over here. These are two teams that love to play with a ton of pace and we're going to see that here on Wednesday. Looking at UCLA first, the Bruins are a super young team that plays with so much speed. They gave Marquette everything they could handle and then some on Monday and then followed that up by running over Chaminade. The Bruins shoot at the 56th best clip in the nation, shooting at nearly 50% from the field. Gonzaga is going to match the pace of play as we've seen what this team can do. They steamrolled over Syracuse and rank 34th in the nation in total offense. This is one of those early season matchup where both of these teams are going to try to impress for their March resumes. With both teams in the consolation side of things too, it will open the game up more. Zags are averaging 90PPG, UCLA 72PPG, Zags shooting 51%, UCLA 49%, Zags averaging 47 boards a game, UCLA 33. Some trends to looks at, Zags 5-2 over UCLA L7, and Gonzaga are 15-2 SU in their L17, and are 6-2 ATS in their L8 vs. UCLA, as for totals, the total has gone OVER in 4 of UCLA's L5 vs. WCC teams.

11-22-23 | 76ers v. Wolves -5.5 | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
Minnesota -5.5 (I locked this in early, but you can now get MINN -4.5) On Wednesday, it's a showdown as the 76ers (10-4) take on the Timberwolves (10-3) at Target Center, start time is 8pm ET. This marks their first matchup in 2023, following two games last season where they each grabbed a victory on the road. Let's break down the numbers: The Moneyline (ML) odds are +165 for the 76ers and -200 for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are favored by -4.5 points against the spread (ATS), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 220.5. In their recent games, the 76ers narrowly lost to the Cavs, 122-119 in overtime, failing to cover the 7.5-point home favorite spread. On the other hand, the Wolves beat the Knicks 117-110, covering the 2.5. One noteworthy fact is that the Timberwolves are unbeaten at home this season with a 6-0 record, making them a strong parlay consideration, with the Over. It has hit in 4 of the last 5 between these two dating back to April 2021. We're playing the Timberwolves on Wednesday night as they host the 76ers. Philadelphia may not be at 100% in this game. They fell in overtime to the Cavaliers on Tuesday night in a game where they built a frantic 15 point comeback only to fall short by 3. It's unknown if they will sit anyone and also even if they don't, we should see fatigue play a factor on their end. This Minnesota side is going to speed up play on them. Minnesota is the top tier of the NBA in pace and they have dominated on the defensive end with their relentless pressure. Minnesota rank 2nd in total defense, allowing 106.3 points per game. Combine that with them sitting first in field goal percentage against (43.3%). With them not having played last night, they can turn the pressure up on Philadelphia and put them into some uncomfortable situations early on in this game. The 76ers have had issues on 2nd legs of back to backs and this is not the team you want to see on the 2nd half of one. The Wolves are 9-1 SU L10, 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 6-2 SU L8 vs. Eastern conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-22-23 | Bulls v. Thunder -6.5 | 102-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Thunder -6.5 On Wednesday, it's Chicago (5-10, 1-4 AWAY, 5-9-1 ATS) facing off against OKC (10-4, 4-3 HOME, 11-3 ATS) at Paycom Center, with the game set to start at 8 p.m. ET. In this season's matchups H2H, the Thunder are up 1-0. (They won 124-104) on 10/25/23. The current NBA odds are as follows: Moneyline (ML): Bulls +225 | Thunder -275, and Against the spread (ATS): Bulls +6.5 (-105) | Thunder -6.5 (-115), with the Over/Under (O/U) set at 224.5 points. Recently, the Bulls have struggled, scoring less than 102 points per game in their last four outings. Meanwhile, the Thunder had an impressive 134-91 win over Portland, covering the 6.5-point spread, and the game went over 223.5 points. OKC is on a five-game winning streak, but will be without Jalen Williams for this one (again). Cason Wallace starts in his place. On the flip side, Chicago took a tough 118-100 loss to Miami, failing to cover the 1.5-point spread as home underdogs. They are now 3-7 in their last ten games and have dropped 4 of their last 5. Oklahoma City has been a popular backing for us this season as we’ve taken them a few times to the window. We've also picked the Bulls once and bet against them once in those losses, so I feel like I know these two teams intimately. OKC have been a top team in NBA, a covering machine. They’ve had their success on the offensive side, which is going to be too much for the Bulls to handle. OKC comes winning 5 in a row and they swept a west coast road trip in the process. They put up performances of 128, 130, and 134 as they are clicking on all cylinders. This will be a game where they should dictate a lot on the tempo side of things. Chicago ranks near the bottom in many defensive categories and the Thunder will get out and run on them. Trends, Thunder 4-0 ATS L4 at home, 5-0 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 6-1 SU vs. Eastern Conference teams in L7. Bulls are 0-3-1 ATS L4 playing on 1 days rest, and are 3-7 SU in their L10 against Oklahoma City. Plus they're 1-5 SU in their L6 on the road. Get on board with us vs. OKC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-22-23 | Appalachian State -2.5 v. Murray State | 67-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
App State -2.5 More analysis coming soon. We're backing App State here as they tip off early against Murray State. App State just flat out dominated UNC Wilmington on Tuesday in the 2nd half. The Mountaineers outscored Wilmington 53-22 en route to an 86-56 victory. That 2nd half showcased why this team is so good. They have the ability to turn defense into offense and they're putting up huge numbers on the offensive end both in the paint and behind the arc. App State loves to crash the boards, which ultimately should be the difference here. They rank 19th in the entire nation in rebounding and their ability to get 2nd and even 3rd chances is top notch. Murray State ranks 102nd in total rebounding and will have their hands full with the size of the Mountaineers. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-21-23 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Purdue | 67-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Tennessee +3 Tennessee (4-0, 3-1 ATS) and Purdue (4-0, 3-1 ATS) face off in a Tuesday semifinal at the Allstate Maui Invitational in Honolulu. The game starts at 8 pm ET (ESPN). #2 Purdue beat #10 Gonzaga 73-63, covering the -5 spread. Purdue was behind by 9 in the first half but outscored Gonzaga 43-28 in the last 20. Tennessee, ranked #8 won against the Orange Monday. UT covered as a 12.5-point favorite with a 73-56 scoreline, making them 4-0 for the first time since 2020. We're backing the Vols in this one. Purdue struggled at times to shoot the ball and even grab rebounds against Gonzaga in what eventually turned into a win. The final score of that game doesn't indicate how close the game was played as the Boilermakers had a few flaws exposed. Tennessee loves to attack the offensive glass and they get to the free throw line as good as anybody in the NCAA. They are one of the top teams in the nation at the free throw stripe, shooting at nearly 80% as a team. They are going to attack the paint and look to rack up the fouls early on Purdue. This is going to be a physical game and the Volunteers are not the kind of team you want to see on the other side of a contest like this. Tennessee ranks 11th in total defense, allowing just 57.3 points per game. They are in the top tier off a lot of defensive categories thus far, as we will see them suffocate these Purdue shooters and not allow any open lanes. Trends, Tennessee are 4-2 ATS in their L6, plus, they're 6-1 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-21-23 | Syracuse v. Gonzaga -12 | 57-76 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -12 Get ready for some Maui Invitational college basketball action this Tuesday. It's the Gonzaga Bulldogs (2-1, 1-1 ATS) taking on the Syracuse Orange (3-1, 0-4 ATS) at 2:30 PM ET on ESPN2. The Bulldogs are the big favorites in this clash, with a 12.5-point advantage over the Orange. The game's total points prediction is set at 160.5. We faded Syracuse in their opening round game of the Maui Invitational and it paid off as Tennessee cashed in against them. We're fading the Orange again here on the consolation side as they take on Gonzaga. Syracuse threw everything they had at Tennessee on both ends of the floor on Monday evening. They couldn't get into any sort of rhythm and it actually wore them down a lot for this spot. Now, they have to deal with a Gonzaga team that led until about 10 minutes left in the 2nd half against Purdue. This Bulldogs team lost a lot, but they can still shoot the ball as well as anyone, while attacking the rim. They come into play on Tuesday averaging over 90 points per game and have two 100 point performances. Syracuse doesn't have the firepower on the offensive side to keep up, while they have also struggled on the defensive side here in the early going. The Bulldogs shoot at a 51% clip from the field and they can create a lot of opening shooting lanes with their speed in this one. Trends, Syracuse are 1-8-1 ATS in their L10, they're also 4-2 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 played in November. On the other side, Gonzaga are 14-2 SU in their L16.

Pelicans +1.5 Late Monday night card add, as it seems this is how I do things with NBA waiting for late breaking NBA news. It's increasingly harder to find out what's going on with NBA injuries. Tonight, the Kings, with a record of 8-4 (4-3 AWAY, 8-4 ATS) , are facing off against the Pelicans, who are 6-7 (4-4 HOME, 7-5-1 ATS). The game is scheduled to start at 8pm ET at the Smoothie King Center. Watch this one on BSNO & NBCS-CA. Moneyline straight up bettors can see (ML): Kings -115 | Pelicans -105, while the opening ATS against the spread (ATS) odds have the Kings -1.5 (-105) as a road favorite. The total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 237.5. 2022/23 Season series: Sacramento won 2-1. Sacramento has won 6 straight games and is coming off a 129-113 victory over the Mavericks Sunday, covering as a 1.5-point dog. New Orleans suffered a 121-120 loss vs. the Wolves Saturday, covering as a 7.5-point dog. The Pelicans have now lost 3 of their last 5, but they did have a HUGE win in one of those two wins over the World Champion Nuggets, so you get the feeling they are just trying to find their groove. Zion will be back tonight. He's playing after resting last game out. I was actually really impressed with how NOP played against the TWolves last game out. These guys play with intensity, and fire, and grit, and they're never out of a game. I wonder how good they can be when they get McCollum, and Murphy III back. Sure the Kings are rolling lately, but my money says they're going to slow down tonight. This is the second of a B2B, and 3rd in 4 nights. New Orleans are 4-2 ATS in their L6 games at home. They last met on 4/4/23 a 121-103 SAC win. SAC covered as a +4 dog. These two play again on Wednesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Connecticut -5.5 v. Texas | 81-71 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
UConn -5-5 We're now at the Empire Classic championship final in New York. It's the UConn Huskies (4-0, 3-1 ATS) facing off against the Texas Longhorns (4-0, 1-3 ATS) Monday night at 7:00 PM ET. UConn is favored by 5.5, and the game's total points are set at 143.5. For Moneyline bets, UConn is at -233, while Texas stands at +190. In their recent matchups, UConn, the reigning national champions, secured their spot in the final by defeating previously undefeated Indiana 77-57 Sunday. Tristen Newton impressed with 23 points and 11 boards, Cam Spencer contributed 18 on 5/8 shooting, and Alex Karaban added 13. Meanwhile, Texas clinched their place with a thrilling 81-80 W over Louisville in the late semi. Kadin Shedrick led the Longhorns with 27, supported by 14 from Abmas and 10 from Ithiel Horton. The Huskies are the move here in the finals of the Empire Classic. Texas comes in after just an absolute hard fought game that saw them hit a buzzer beater to knock down Louisville. They are going to come in with some tired legs here as this game goes on, given the physical nature they had to endure during the win. UConn meanwhile is just blowing teams out. They took down Indiana by 20 in their contest here and they are going to just wear Texas down. Look for this game to become sloppy on the Texas side as the game goes on, as the Huskies should be able to dictate a lot here. The last time these two met was in 2015. A 71-66 UConn win in Austin. UConn owns a 3 win, 1 loss record in these two teams' L4. Trends, UConn are 9-1 ATS in their L10, are 10-0 SU in their L10, and are 5-1-1 ATS in their L7 against UT. On the other side, Texas are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 against an opponent in the Big East. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Purdue v. Gonzaga +5 | 73-63 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Gonzaga +5 The Boilermakers (3-0, 2-1 ATS) and Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 ATS) are set to clash at 5:00 PM ET on ESPN2. This showdown will take place at the Stan Sheriff Center in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. The game's projected total points, the over/under, is set at 155.5 points. Looking back to last year, Purdue and the Zags met during Thanksgiving at the Phil Knight Legacy event in Portland, Oregon. Edey had an outstanding performance, contributing 23, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks, propelling the Boilermakers to a 84-66 W. Currently, Purdue maintains a flawless 3-0 record as they head into this one. They've been favored in all their previous matchups. Gonzaga, on the other hand, is coming off a strong offensive display, tallying 86 points against Yale and more recently a 123-57 win over Eastern Oregon (I didn't know they had a school?!). Zags 2nd in the nation in scoring. They boasted an impressive 50% FG% and made 15 out of 21 FT. In terms of scoring averages, Purdue is averaging 89.3 points per game (ranked 29th), while Gonzaga boasts a remarkable 104.5 points per game (ranked 2nd). The Zags can also defend with the best of them (holding teams to 64 PPG). They shoot 57.5% too. I can't wait to watch Huff go up against Edey. With the Bulldogs entering this game as underdogs with a +4.5 to +5 point spread, they are the team to favor according to my model. Purdue are 3-7 ATS in their L10. The Zags are 14-1 SU in their L15, and 16-3 in their L19 November games. Additionally, I believe the Zags will grab an outright W. The public is on Purdue in this one, so we're grabbing the value at +5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 6* CBB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Tennessee -12.5 v. Syracuse | 73-56 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Vols -12.5 #8 Tennessee (3-0) faces Syracuse (3-0) in the Maui Invitational on Monday at 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). When it comes to betting, the Moneyline shows Tennessee at -1200 and Syracuse at +725 for those who prefer straight-up bets. If you're into point spreads, Tennessee is favored by 13.5 points with -110 odds, and the Over/Under stands at 145.5 points. We’re backing the Vols, laying the points here in the opening round. Tennessee is going to overwhelm the Orange in this one. In their previous games, Tennessee dominated Wofford with an 82-61 victory, showcasing a shooting percentage of 47.2% from the field and a 37.8% success rate on 3-pointers this season. Meanwhile, Syracuse faced a 16-point halftime deficit but managed to secure a 79-75 win against Colgate, to stay undefeated. Syracuse comes in with 3 wins, but they’ve struggled at times on both ends of the floor in all 3 games. The latest was a 4 point win over a weak Colgate team, that gave them all they could handle. The Orange allowed 75 points and that won’t translate well against a team like Tennessee. The Vols have so many weapons and will be able to attack this Syracuse defense from different angles. Look for them to find a lot of success inside, which should open a lot of shooting lanes. I can safely say the Vols take this one, even though Cuse isn't going to go lightly. At this point of the season Tennessee is just the stronger team. Top 8 kind of team. Trends, Tennessee are 5-1 SU in their L6, and they're 6-1 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the ACC. On the other side, Syracuse are 1-7-1 ATS in their L9 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-19-23 | San Diego State v. Washington +7 | 100-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
UW +7 On Sunday night in Las Vegas, it's the championship game of the Continental Tire Main Event. SDSU (3-1, 2-2 ATS) faces off against the UW Huskies (3-1, 2-2 ATS) at T-Mobile Arena. The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN2). The odds for SDSU/UW opened with SDSU -255 | Washington +205 for the Moneyline (ML), and now it's San Diego State -6.5 (-102) and UW +7, which looks like a better bet, and we're jumping on the extra point here. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 144.5 (O: -115 | U: -105). The Huskies faced off against Xavier on Friday, and it was a close game with the final score being 74-71. The Huskies were the underdogs by 2.5 points but managed to pull off the win. Brooks Jr. was the standout player, scoring 20 for the Huskies, even though he had a 5/17 shooting record. Wheeler also contributed with 18. Despite a not-so-great 36% FG%, the Huskies only committed 10 turnovers while causing the Musketeers to make 18. On the other hand, the Aztecs, who were 2-point dogs, had a convincing victory over Saint Mary's with a final score of 79-54. LeDee continued his impressive performance, scoring 20 points for the fifth consecutive game this season. He's shooting at an impressive 61% from the field and averaging 25 points and 9 boards. The Huskies will need a solid plan to contain him if they want to come out on top in this matchup. Washington has a lot of value in this spot as this is far too many points IMO. They come in with momentum and a lot of confidence.This Washington team can beat teams from many different angles and they’re going to do just that here. Look for Washington to push tempo on this San Diego State team too. They can make things uncomfortable for the Aztecs with some speed and transition play. This game is expected to be a close one, with free throws potentially being the deciding factor in determining the winner. In terms of recent trends, San Diego State has struggled, going 1-4 against the spread in their last five games against UW. In contrast, Washington has been strong in November, winning 6 out of their last 7 games. Back the Dawgs ATS tonight in Vegas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

Regarding injuries, Oladipo is out and Thompson is out for Houston, while LA's Davis is probable, but Vanderbilt and Vincent are out. In the season series, the Rockets lead 1-0 after a 128-94 home win on Nov. 8. Los Angeles is getting solid contributions all around heading into play on Sunday night. Lebron James continues to put up big numbers and the rest of the group is feeding off that energy he is bringing. We’re on the Lakers here as they have value against a Houston team that is going to regress. The Rockets have been a bit of a surprise thus far, but they come in off a loss to the Clippers last time out. They don’t matchup well with this Lakers team, who has speed and length. Look for the Lakers to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor and really dictate the tempo this game is played at. Some trends, Houston are 3-12 SU in their L15 vs LAL, and are 3-15 SU in their L18 on the road. Plus, Houston are 0-6 SU in their L6 when playing on the road against LAL. LAL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games at home. Lock in the Lakers on Sunday evening. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-18-23 | Bryant v. Florida Atlantic OVER 154.5 | 61-52 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
OVER 154.5 Back to the O/U today in College Hoops. From Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton Florida! There's a game happening at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, with tip-off set for 6 p.m. ET. (1-3) Bryant vs FAU (2-0) over is the play. We're playing this over for a few reasons here. This FAU team is going to be real good once again. They return all 5 starters from last year and they're already putting up some big numbers this season. They dropped 100 on Eastern Michigan already as they play with such tempo. They can overwhelm opponents with their speed and it turns into a lot of easy buckets in transition. Bryant is going to be the kind of team that plays to match that pace. They push the issue themselves and they struggle mightily on the defensive side of things. This will be the kind of game where both teams look to get up and down the floor and will try to get some quick buckets. The Bulldogs' defense hasn't been at its best lately, giving up 95 points in their recent matchup against BU. Plus, opposing teams have been quite successful from beyond the arc, shooting over 33% from 3-point range against them. Thanks to 6 guys in double-digits and 14 3-pointers, BU took it to Bryant. At least Bryant got a game-high 28 from Sherif Gross-Bullock. We've seen the OVER hit in 4 of Florida Atlantic's L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAB O/U Play |

11-18-23 | Xavier v. Washington OVER 153.5 | 71-74 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
OVER 153.5 Late Add. Apologies if you're missing this. Xavier vs. Washington Over. Two rested teams to battle it out in a couple hours. This is a semifinal-round matchup of the Continental Tire Main Event tournament. Both are looking to rebound from losses. I just did a deep dive on this game and am deciding to jump on it and get it into the system. Xavier arrives in LV removed from an 83-71 loss at #2 Purdue in the Gavitt Tipoff Games. Washington (2-1) is coming off an 83-76 defeat at home last Sunday against Nevada. These two teams will play quick and match each other's pace. Coming into Friday night, the Musketeers are 29th in the nation in pace, while Washington sits at 51. Both teams aren't shy about what they want to do. They want to push the issue and almost force the issue sometimes. Both sides also love to crash the offensive glass. This goes a couple ways as it'll give second chance points, while also allowing the opposition to get out and run in transition. This is going to be the kind of game where we should see a lot of quick shots and a lot of 3 balls go up from some good shooters that have open shooting lanes. Trends, The total has gone OVER in 8 of Xavier's last 11 games against an opponent in the Pac-12 conference. The total has gone OVER in 6 of Washington's last 6 games, and in 5/5 games for UW in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NCAAB O/U Play |

11-17-23 | Sam Houston State v. Ole Miss UNDER 133.5 | 67-70 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
UNDER 133.5 9pm ET tip in Oxford, MS. The Bearkats (1-2, 1-1 AWAY, 1-2 ATS) come in as a +9.5 dog. (OM -9.5) This one opened at 135.5. Ole Miss (3-0, 3-0 HOME, 0-3 ATS) has hit the UNDER 3-0 so far this year. The Public is 67% to the OVER. Late addition to my card for Friday. Time constraints will keep me from writing a full-write-up here. But needless to say I really like this play after looking at this number closely. Last year Ole Miss only scored 71 or more in 13 games. In their recent matchups, Sam Houston suffered an 85-70 loss to Oklahoma State on Sunday, while Ole Miss narrowly clinched a 70-69 win against Detroit Mercy on Tuesday. Jaylen Murray led the way for Ole Miss with an impressive performance, contributing 22 points and dishing out seven assists. I really like Ole Miss to get out early in this one and make SH chase all night long. Detroit Mercy only got close because of a lot of needless fouls by OM last game, and then they were hot from the charity stripe to make the game closer. I think OM is a much better team than SH here, and it will show. You won't sweat this UNDER. The total has gone UNDER in 9 of SHST's L13, plus the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Ole Miss' L5. I like that kind of number. I'm on the UNDER tonight in Oxford! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB O/U Play |

11-17-23 | Nuggets -5 v. Pelicans | 110-115 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Nuggets -5 Ok I'll bite. The Nuggets -3.5 was the opener, now we're a little late to the party but I wasn't sure what this line was going to do but knew I wanted action on it. SO -5 it is. The O/U opened at 225. Lots of games in the Association tonight so I may have another NBA play after this one. We'll see. This is an in-season tourney game! Pels are 1-1 in the tourney. Nuggets are 2-0. The Nuggets come into this one (9-2, 2-2 AWAY, 5-6 ATS), they take on the Pelicans (5-6, 3-3 HOME, 5-5-1 ATS). DEN is 1st in the West, NOP 10th. Denver holds the edge in PPG, PAPG, FG%, 3ptFG%, Assists, Boards, and blocks... I'll give NOP steals, they're pretty good at getting in between passing lanes. The big 5 right now are almost unstoppable (Joker, Gordon, Jackson, Porter Jr, and KCP) all averaging 30MPG and putting up a ton of scoring. It's a shame Murray can't join the party right now, but he'll be back soon. NOP injuries include: Alvarado, McCollum, Murphy III, and Nance Jr. (all are OUT tonight) NOP actually has the edge the L5 times these two have played 3-2 SU, but last time out was 11/6/23 a 134-116 DEN win. Den covered the -6.5 in that one, but we're backing Denver here, as they come in 9-2 on the season. The Nuggets used a 19-9 run late to come back against the Clippers, as they continue their hot start to the season. This team just has so many weapons and Jokic continues to produce in a big way as he is putting together another stellar season already. The Nuggets should be able to pick apart this Pelicans defense. New Orleans ranks 20th in the NBA in total defense and they are one of the worst defensive rebounding teams. This is going to be a game where Denver will look to crash the boards and get plenty of 2nd chances at the rim. (AND I DO expect another triple-double from Joker in this one) Denver should be able to overwhelm New Orleans from the start in this one. Trends, Pelicans are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6, are 0-4-2 ATS in their L6 Friday games, are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6 after scoring 100 points+ in prior game. Denver are 12-2 SU in their L14, and are 8-3 SU in their L11 vs. NOP. Plus they're 14-2 SU vs. WESTERN conference teams of late! I'm on the Nuggets tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-17-23 | Magic v. Bulls -2.5 | 103-97 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Bulls -2.5 Tonight's NBA matchup features the East Group C clash between ORL and CHI, both of whom currently stand at 0-1 in group play, with three games left in the tournament. The game takes place in Chicago, at the United Center, with tip-off scheduled for 8PM ET. You can catch the action on NBCS-CHI. In this matchup, the Bulls (4-8, 3-4 HOME, 4-7-1 ATS) opened as slight favorites, favored by 3 points over the Magic (6-5, 3-3 AWAY, 8-3 ATS). The Money Line offers Chicago at -148 and Orlando at +124. The Over/Under (O/U) opened at 214.5, but personally, I prefer focusing on ATS and O/U bets for my NBA wagers. Analyzing the stats, the Bulls have the edge in points per game (PPG), field goals attempted per game (FGA), three-pointers made, and free throws. On the other hand, the Magic excel in defensive aspects and rebounding. Both teams are among the top 3 in the NBA for steals. Key players to watch include the return of Demar DeRo for the Bulls after a family matter, and Caruso is expected to be in action as well. However, Carter Jr. and Fultz are sidelined for the Magic, and Terry and Ball won't be playing for CHI. Their recent encounter on Wednesday saw Orlando emerge victorious with a 96-94 scoreline, covering the +2.5 spread. The Bulls will aim to return to their winning ways by emphasizing ball security, as they were the NBA's best at limiting turnovers before their Wednesday loss. In Friday's game, expect the Bulls to slow down the pace, focus on solid defense, and generate high-quality shots. They'll be looking to secure a much-needed victory and regain their winning form. Trends. Bulls 5-2 L7 Friday games. Magic 7-13 L20 games vs. Central division teams. Dating back to 2022 they're 4-9 L13 in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-17-23 | Oklahoma State -7 v. Notre Dame | 64-66 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
OK ST -7 The (1-2, 1-2 ATS) Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the (1-2, 0-3 ATS) Notre Dame Fighting Irish in college basketball action. The Cowboys and Fighting Irish are aiming to bounce back after losing in the Legends Classic. They'll face off in the third-place game in New York. Tonight from the Barclays Center at 4:30pm ET we get what on paper looks like a nice matchup. But NO SO FAST! Stats tell the tale here. OKST more steals per game, more assists, (better passing team), better rebounding team, betting shooting team 44% to 40% FG%, much better from 3-pt range (36% to 18%), and averaging 69PPG to ND's 63PPG. This is a play where the main reasoning behind it is to fade Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish lost a lot of talent this past off-season and now they come in 1-2 after losing to Auburn 83-59 on Thursday. Shrewsberry's Irish aren't expected to perform exceptionally well this year. Their last game was a hard-fought loss to Auburn in the Legends semi. Notre Dame had a tough time shooting, making only 2 out of 26 attempts from beyond the arc. This has the makings of a long season for the Fighting Irish, who are going to lack just about everything. Oklahoma State coughed up a lead against the Bonnies as they fell in the final seconds of their opening round game in this tournament on Thursday night. They are still the better team overall and they will buckle down on the defensive side, which should produce a lot of Notre Dame turnovers. We're backing the Cowboys to control the pace and really make things difficult for the Fighting Irish on both ends of the floor. A couple trends, Oklahoma State are 4-1 SU in their L5 against ACC Teams, and Notre Dame are 2-11 SU in their L13, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5. OKC is 5-5 SU in their L10. ND are 2-8. I'm on OKST tonight. Give the points. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-16-23 | Thunder -2 v. Warriors | 128-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
OKC -2 (Circa) I'm good with -2.5 as well. Tonight the Thunder (7-4, 3-1 AWAY, 8-3 ATS) are facing the Warriors (6-6, 1-4 HOME, 6-6 ATS) at the Chase Center, 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). In terms of NBA odds for tonight's game, the moneyline (ML) favors the Thunder at -145, with the Warriors at +120. The spread (ATS) has the Thunder at -2.5 (-115), and the over/under (O/U) is set at 227.5. In their season series, the Warriors lead 1-0 after winning 141-139 on the road back on Nov. 3. They aim to avenge that game when they covered as a 6.5-point dog. Recently, the Thunder had a big 123-87 victory as 10-point favorites over the SAS, while the Warriors have faced a tough time, losing four consecutive. Last game out was a tough 104-101 loss to the TWolves. The Warriors will be without Draymond Green due to suspension, and Steph Curry is likely to be out with a knee injury (he's labelled day to day) and Kerr said likely to miss a couple games, giving the Thunder a huge advantage. We're backing the Thunder for a few reasons here. He has been a scene to say the least thus far into the season and it's put a giant target on the Warriors back. Even if Steph plays, he isn't at 100%. There are a lot of question marks here for GSW early in the season and it's led to a lot of frustrations. Oklahoma City has not only a deep team, but one that can attack. They love to push the tempo with their speed and we should see them match the intensity from this Warriors side. SGA is averaging 33.8 PPG and is putting himself in the early MVP discussion, with good reason. Let's not forget about Holmgren. Who in the prior matchup put up 24 with 8 boards and 5 assists. Two tough dudes to matchup with every night. Thunder had 19 steals against the Spurs. Just sayin. Some trends, OKC are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. Golden State are 1-5 SU in their L6, and they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight. (Hoping Curry stays away) Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-16-23 | William & Mary v. Nebraska-Omaha OVER 144 | 83-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Over 144 Tonight we get W&M (1-2, 0-2 AWAY, 2-0 ATS) taking on NEB-Omaha (2-1, 2-0 HOME, 2-0 ATS). This is a neutral court game tipping off at 9pm ET. This one goes down at the Clune Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Last game out was for W&M was a 95-89 loss to George Washington. This was tough as they were in it till the end. Some costly turnovers cost them in this one. On the other side NEB-Omaha lost out to North Texas 75-64 on Saturday. This one opened at 149. Getting great value here I feel. We're looking at the OVER. This looks like a nice early season showdown with two evenly matched squads. These two teams love to play quick for starters. The tempo of this game is going to be extreme at times, which will certainly favor us. Combine that with the abilities of this W&M team to shoot the 3 ball and we have a nice edge. They come in as a top 10 3pt shooting team nationally (of course it's early), in 3 point attempts. They aren't shy about hoisting up shots and they've become really good at creating shooting lanes. They do struggle with fouls and have put teams in the bonus early. There is nothing better for an over than points with the clock stopped. Nebraska Omaha ranks in the top 50 in free throw percentage. Both teams are good at grabbing rebounds, but that doesn't rule out second chance scoring opportunities! William & Mary has been doing a great job on the boards, getting around 41 RPG. On the other hand, Neb.-Omaha isn't too shabby either, with an average of 29 RPG. Look for a game where both teams should find success at the rim and from the field. The Mavs’ defense is ranked 70th nationally, allowing 70.0PPG. W&M allow 60PPG, but as I said they shoot a ton of 3's. 32 attempts per game. (36%). Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 6* CBB O/U Play |

11-16-23 | Dayton v. LSU UNDER 134.5 | 70-67 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 10 m | Show | |
UNDER 134.5 We're playing Dayton and LSU under here in the first round of the Charleston Classic on Thursday afternoon. These two teams both come in 1-1 as they have stumbled a bit out of the gate. This is both teams' first game in what will be a 4-day tourney. LSU had an embarrassing loss to Nicholls State as they put up just 66 points in a 2 point loss. They struggled all night long from the field as they couldn't figure out how to connect from the 3 ball. They hit just 3 out of 19 from behind the arc and face a much tougher Dayton side. Dayton put up 63 points against SIUE in their opener and then fell to Northwestern as they managed just 66 points themselves. The Flyers play a slow tempo and they do not allow much of anything at the rim. We're backing this Under as we should see a slow paced game both ways. The outcome of this game determines which team faces St. John's & which plays North Texas Friday. St. John's currently leads N. TEX 17-11 in the first half. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 10 of Dayton's L13. Also, the Under is 5-1 in Flyers L6 games following a ATS win. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB O/U Play |

11-16-23 | College of Charleston v. Vermont +2 | 64-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Vermont +2 The 2023 Myrtle Beach Invitational starts today at the HTC Center. The opening matchup features the Charleston Cougars facing off against the Vermont Catamounts in a game scheduled for late morning. Charleston has won one of their two games this season, defeating Iona, but they also suffered a loss to Duquesne. On the other hand, Vermont has a perfect 2-0 record so far this season, winning against both Merrimack and Plattsburgh State as they kicked off their 2023-24 season. We're playing Vermont here, as small underdogs in the Myrtle Beach Invitational. Charleston comes in 1-1 after they were blown out by Duquesne in their latest contest. That comes on the heels of their 2 point season opening win over Iona. They have looked a little sluggish through their first two games on the defensive end at times and that is going to be seen here against Vermont. Vermont is a very physical team that loves to control the paint. They're going to impose their will early in this one on Charleston and look to win the battle on both ends of the floor inside. With this being an early start, Vermont gets the advantage with the style they play. Trends, College of Charleston are 1-4 ATS in the L5. Vermont are 17-1 SU in their L18. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-15-23 | Kings -115 v. Lakers | 125-110 | Win | 100 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
Kings -115 I like the Kings on the spread as well, if you can get the + money. The (5-4, 5-4 ATS, 1-3 AWAY) Sacramento Kings take on the (5-5, 3-7 ATS, 4-0 HOME) LA Lakers on Wednesday night in LA. Tipoff is at 10pm ET from the Crypto.com Arena. Lakers come in off a 134-107 win over Memphis on Tuesday. The Kings come in off a 132-120 win over Cleveland on Monday. SAC comes in averaging 113.4 PPG, to the Lakers 111 PPG. LAL have a 47.5 FG%, to SAC's 45.2 FG%. From 3 SAC shoots 33%, LAL 30%. SAC averages 44 RPG, LAL 42. Lakers have a 281-165 record all time vs. the Kings. Last time they met was 10/29/23 in Sac-Town. A 132-127 Kings win in OT. Before that, January 18th 23, a 116-111 Kings win in LA. H2H these two over their L10, SAC has the advantage 7-3. Injuries for SAC: Len/Lyles OUT. For LAL: Vanderbilt/Hood-Schifino/Vincent OUT. The Kings tempo is going to be far too much for this Lakers team. This is a tale of two different styles of play as the Lakers are a much older team that loves to play a bit slower. While they've started off 6-5, we have seen a lot of inconsistencies from them. They continue to not only battle injuries over and over again, but they also haven't been able to find a consistent offensive push. Sacramento is a fast paced team that loves to get out and run. They are going to overwhelm the Lakers in this spot. Look for De'Aaron Fox to continue to lead this team, after he returned in a big way with 28 points in the win over Cleveland on Monday night. Some trends to note. Sacramento are 5-1 ATS in their L6 against the Lakers, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 as well. Plus they're 6-1 ATS in their L7 games when playing on the road against the Lakers. The Lakers are 4-9 ATS in their L13. I'm backing the Kings on Humpday. That one day more rest than LAL should do them some good in the 4th qtr. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ML Play |

11-15-23 | Wolves v. Suns -5.5 | 115-133 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
Suns -5.5 (8-2, 6-4 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Phoenix Suns (4-6, 4-5-1 ATS, 1-4 HOME) tonight. Game time is 9pm ET from the footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. PHX comes in averaging 111PPG, Minni 111PPG. MIN 48% FG%, PHX 45% FG%. H2H in their L10 Phoenix is 8-2 vs. Minni, averaging 117PPG in their wins to Minni's 110PPG. They're 8-2 ATS in those 10 too. The debut of the BIG 3 tonight in Phoenix. Beal, Booker & Durant. Big letdown spot for the TWolves in this one after winning 7 straight. They’re coming in off back to back road wins over Golden State, which also include a brawl last time out as Klay got into a scuffle. They had a PHYSICAL game last night vs. the GSW. Towns (42), Gobert (35), Edwards (36), Conley (31), and Anderson (27) played big minutes with McDaniels getting tossed out alongside GSW's Green. They get the Suns who are much better than their record indicates. They have battled injuries through their first 10 games and they get a boost with Beal in the lineup. This is a spot for them to show why they’re still the team to beat in the West and humble this Timberwolves fast start. Phoenix has far too many weapons and this will be the kind of game where they can pick apart this Minnesota defense. Durant loves playing against Minni (27PPG, in 43 games). Suns have had 2 days off too. Not having played since Sunday vs. OKC (a 111-99 loss). OKC had a huge 4th qtr in that one (31-13) to deal Phoenix the L. The Suns had no Booker or Gordon in that one. They'll have Booker tonight, unsure about Gordon he's a GTD. I'm not worried about an adjustment period for PHX's stars. They played in the preseason together. Some trends I like, The TWolves are 0-6 ATS in their L6 against the Suns, and are 1-7 SU in their L8 against them. They're also 1-4 ATS in their L5 on the road, and finally, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 on the road vs. the Suns. Dating back to 2022, Phoenix are 8-4 SU in their last 12 played in November. I'm backing the Suns tonight to have a strong second half, and bring this one home. We could see garbage time in the last 6 minutes. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-15-23 | Rice v. Texas OVER 155 | 64-80 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Over 155 (1-1, 0-1 ATS) Rice take on the (2-0, 1-1 ATS) Texas Longhorns in college hoops betting action on Humpday. This one tips off at 9pm ET from the Moody Center in Austin, TX. Both teams come in averaging north of 87PPG, while Rice has a 48% FG%, to Texas' 51.7%. From 3, Rice 40%, Texas 45.8%. Charity stripe Rice 65% and Texas 72% thus far early in the season. H2H L10 Texas owns the advantage 10-0. Averaging 74PPG, Rice has averaged 56PPG in the 10 losses. Last game out for Rice was a 89-76 loss to Harvard. For Texas a 86-59 win over Delaware State. The Owls and Longhorns are valuable on this Over. Both of these teams love to play fast and uptempo. This is going to be the kind of game where we get a lot of back and forth transition play. The Owls hit the Over 22x last season and we've seen through the early part of this season that they will continue to push the ball. Rice also loves to hoist up shots early in the shot clock even in their half court offense. The Longhorns should be able to pick apart this defense. Rice has had plenty of issues getting back on defense and Texas should be able to impose their will. Look for them to overwhelm this Rice side from start to finish here, putting up a lot of easy buckets. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 11 of Rice's L15, and the total has gone OVER in 8 of Rice's L10 on the road. On the other side, random stat I know, but, nonetheless, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Texas' L5 played on a Wednesday at home.. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

11-15-23 | Georgetown v. Rutgers UNDER 136.5 | 60-71 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show | |
UNDER 136.5 This is a Gavitt Tipoff Games matchup. Georgetown (1-1, 1-1 ATS) takes on Rutgers (2-1, 1-2 ATS) on Wednesday night, this one tips off at 8:30pm ET from the Jersey Mike's Arena, in Piscataway, NJ. Last game out the Hoyas blew an 11-point lead to Holy Cross and the final score was 68-67. The Knights last game was a 66-57 win over Bryant. Before that, a 69-45 win over Boston U. The Hoyas are averaging 80PPG (135th) with a 47.5 FG% (127th). The Knights are averaging 65PPG (302nd) with a 38.2 FG% (321st). This is going to be a slow paced game. Neither team likes to push the ball and it is going to produce few chances for easy buckets. Georgetown is in full rebuild right now. This team is putting in a lot of different pieces this year and it showed in their loss to HC. They slowed things down and had no offensive rhythm in that game. Now, they get a very tough Rutgers defense, that is very physical. Rutgers meanwhile is going to match this pace. They don't shoot the ball all that well for starters and their ability to get out and run in transition is very slim. There should be a lot of shot clock chewing and late shots in this one. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the Hoyas' L6 against an opponent in the Big 10. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 11 of Rutgers' L15, and the total has gone UNDER in 8 of Rutgers' L12 vs. GTown. We're backing the UNDER on Wednesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-14-23 | Spurs v. Thunder -10.5 | 87-123 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Thunder -10.5 The Spurs come into this one (3-7, 4-6 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) taking on a Thunder team that is (6-4, 7-3 ATS, 3-3 HOME). This matchup is another NBA tournament game, and it's the only NBA play I love. (Other than the free play I put up) so we'll call this an 8* winner! Tip-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC. The Spurs take on the Thunder tonight. OKC is 3-0 vs. SAS L3. They've averaged 117PPG in those 3, to SAS's 105. Spurs near the bottom of the league in most defensive categories, and OKC starting to surge. SGA is healthy, and the Thunder come in off a HUGE win last game out vs. the Suns (111-99). Those kind of wins over teams that are supposed to beat you can be season defining. I'm not sure we're there yet, but it was a confidence and moral booster for sure. Suns had an 86-80 lead into the 4th but a wicked 26-9 run by OKC sealed the deal. Beal & Durant couldn't help in this one. OKC can play some defense can't they? Williams, Dort, and Wallace all make life difficult in and around the paint. The hussle is off the charts. (If I wasn't a life-long Seattle Supersonics fan I might actually like this OKC team) Sunday the Spurs lost 118-113 to the Heat. Only the Grizz, Wizards, and Pistons are doing worse (according to the standings). Spurs can't stop teams from hitting the 3. Plus they're bottom of the league in steals and opponent turnovers. Sure Wemby can block balls, but this SAS team don't help themselves much. Also, their "tall ball" lineup isn't working either IMO. Only positive they're somehow averaging 113PPG. The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their L5, are 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. OKC, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 vs. OKC. On the other side OKC are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 5-2 ATS in their L7 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight ATS. (Seeing -10.5). Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-14-23 | Toledo v. Wright State OVER 166.5 | 78-77 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
OVER 166.5 (2-0, 2-0 ATS) Toledo Rockets take on the (0-1, 0-1 ATS) Wright State Raiders tonight at the Ervin J. Nutter Center in Fairborn, OH at 7pm ET. We backed a Toledo over once this year and it cashed with ease. Toledo has scored over 78 in every game dating back to the end of February last year, so these guys get after it. We’re going right back to them here with this Over against Wright State. The Rockets play so quickly and their ability to score is one of the best in the entire nation. This team is built with speed and the ability to shoot the 3 ball. Wright State isn’t shy either about their ability to push the tempo too. This is going to be the kind of game where both teams get out and run. Scoring in flurries and turning defense into offense is the speciality of both sides. Look for a back and forth game all night, in one that is certainly high scoring. In recent games, Wright State stayed close with the Rams until halftime on Friday, but things went south after that. They suffered a tough loss 105-77. Meanwhile, the Rockets secured a good win against the Ragin Cajuns with a score of 87-78. The total has gone OVER in 8 of Toledo's L9, plus the total has gone OVER in all of the Rockets L9 in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

11-14-23 | Duke -3.5 v. Michigan State | 74-65 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Duke -3.5 At 7pm from the United Center in Chicago #9 Duke (1-1, 1-1 ATS) faces #18 Michigan State (1-1, 0-2 ATS) in Chicago's Champions Classic. Michigan State began with a 79-76 OT loss to James Madison but rebounded with a 74-51 win over Southern Indiana. Duke, after a big win against Dartmouth, suffered its first loss to Arizona at home. We’re backing Duke here in a bounce back spot. It’s rare to see Duke lose at home, but they couldn’t solve Arizona on Friday night. We’ve seen this Duke team in the past really step up after losses and this is going to be the kind of game here where they certainly are up for it. The Blue Devils have a huge edge on the offensive end here. They will get a Spartans team that struggles with shooting the 3 ball. They’ve hit just 2 of 31 attempted so far which has become almost a head game for them. Duke is going to look to get out to a fast start, as they know they can’t dig themselves an early hole against a physical team like this. The style and tempo Duke plays with should be overwhelming for this Michigan State team. Expect plenty of run outs and transition buckets for Duke in this one. Duke are 6-2 ATS in their L8, are 11-2 SU in their L13, and are 6-3 ATS in their L9 vs. MSU. Plus they're 15-5 SU in their L20 vs. Big10 schools. Michigan State are 2-5 ATS in their L7. Back the Devils tonight to get back on track. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-14-23 | Wisconsin v. Providence +1.5 | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
Providence +1.5 Adding another CBB play here after crunching some more numbers. Tonight at 6pm ET from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI as the (1-1, 1-1 ATS) Wisconsin Badgers take on the (2-0, 1-1 ATS) Providence Friars. In their recent matchup, Wisconsin suffered an 80-70 defeat to Tennessee. On the other hand, the Friars head into Tuesday's game undefeated this season, having won 79-69 against Milwaukee on Saturday. We’re on Providence in what should be a gritty battle. Providence can lean on their defense here. Wisconsin is such a slow team that does not have any sort of tempo. Their attack lags spark and that fits right into the advantage of Providence. The Friars have been solid defensively through their first two games, allowing less than 70 in each of them. They should be able to frustrate the Badgers. Expect a ton of high pressure defense, with them forcing some tough shots and turnovers in the process. But the big question tonight for me is whether the Badgers can contain Josh Oduro. He was a force in the Friars' previous game, recording a double-double with 13 points and 12 boards. Oduro's impact should be a game-changer. The Friars are 18-2 SU in their L20 at home. This is tough place for a road team to come in and grab a W. I love the home dog tonight. Back the Friars. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 6* CBB ATS Play |

11-13-23 | Cavs v. Kings OVER 223.5 | 120-132 | Win | 100 | 21 h 55 m | Show | |
OVER 223.5 The Kings (4-4, 3-6 ATS) will play the Cavaliers (4-5, 4-4 ATS) in Sacramento, CA at the Golden 1 Center. The game starts at 10:00PM ET and can be watched on NBA TV. The over/under for the game is set at 226 points. The Kings are a slight 1-point favorite, with odds of -117 for Sacramento and -102 for Cleveland on the moneyline. Last game out, Cleveland won 118-110 at Golden State on Saturday. On Friday the Kings took down OKC 105-98. In terms of scoring, the Kings rank 19th in the NBA with an average of 111PPG, while the Cavs are 23rd with 109PPG. On the defensive end, the Cavs allow an average of 111PPG, making them the 13th-best team in the league in terms of limiting opponents' scoring. Sacramento's defense is ranked 17th, allowing an average of 113PPG. The last time these two met was 12/9/22 a 106-95 Kings win in Cleveland. We’re backing the Over here as the Cavs continue their west coast road trip against the Kings. This is going to be a fast paced game every way. Both teams love to get up and down the floor and they push the issue on the opposition constantly. Cleveland comes in off a win in Golden State as it was a game that featured plenty of fast paced push outs and early shots in the shot clock. The Kings and Cavs are both at their best when they play fast. This is going to turn into a track meet. Look for a high scoring, close game, down to the wire. Sacramento are 5-10 ATS in their L15 at home, and the total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA OVER Play |

11-13-23 | Michigan v. St. John's -2.5 | 89-73 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
St Johns -2.5 We're on the Red Storm here, laying the small number against Michigan. Rick Pitino will have his men ready for a prime time spot in front of nearly a national audience (FS1) (At least those not wanting to watch MNF, for which I also have a premium play up for, shameless plug). The Red Storm lead the all-time series 4-1. But, this will be their first H2H meeting in 23 years. Madison Square Garden will be behind the Red Storm in full force here on Monday night. St. Johns comes in 1-0 with a dominant offensive performance over Stony Brook last time out to start the season. It was the three ball that was the difference here as they drained 11x 3's and that is going to be their plan of attack here on Monday night. Look for them to push the tempo on Michigan and try to open shooting lanes for their 3 point attack. The Storm have a completely new roster, and for those that don't know them, tonight is your introduction. I know, I know Michigan comes in off of big wins for a combined 55pts, but those games were against North Carolina-Asheville and Youngstown State. In this one, Big Blue will struggle defensively with the speed and we should see St. Johns energized by this crowd. The Red Storm are 6-3 ATS in their last 9, are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Big 10 teams, and are (dating back to 2022, 12-0 SU in their L12 in November). Back SJU. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-12-23 | Nuggets v. Rockets +4.5 | 104-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Rockets +4.5 Sunday we get the (8-1, 5-4 ATS, 2-1 AWAY) Denver Nuggets taking on the (5-3, 4-3-1 ATS, 5-1 HOME) Houston Rockets in NBA betting action. This one tips off at 7:10ET from the Toyota Center in Houston. Both teams come into this one TOP 5 in defensive pts. allowed at 106PPG. The early season defense is on point. Houston is a better 3-pt shooting team thus far in the season, but of course Denver is scoring 116PPG, to Houston's 111PPG. RPG are pretty even tbh. Houston right now is the team to watch in the NBA. They’re playing at a top level and come in winners of 5 in a row. This is a much different defense that we’ve seen in past seasons from them too. They have been defending with a ton of pressure and are putting together solid performances with their ability to rebound the ball. Offensively, they’re getting contributions from a lot of different players each night too. This is a game they’ll be up for too. With the momentum and a top team in town, the Rockets will have a ton of motivation here. Look for them to keep this close with a chance to steal it outright. Jamal Murray is still OUT for this one for Denver. While Oladipo is of course OUT for Houston. The last time these two met was 4/4/23 a 124-103 Houston win. They covered the +11 in that one. Last game out the Nuggets took down the Warriors in a thriller 108-105. Houston got past the Pels 104-101 in a group stage tourney game. A couple trends, Denver are 2-4 ATS in their L6 against Southwest Division teams. Houston are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 at home. Plus they're 13-4 SU in their L17 vs. the Nuggets. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-12-23 | Sam Houston State v. Oklahoma State UNDER 138.5 | 70-85 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
UNDER 138.5 The Oklahoma State Cowboys (0-1, 1-1 ATS) face the Sam Houston Bearkats (1-1, 0-1 ATS) at 3:00 PM ET. The matchup airs on ESPN+. OKSt dropped their first game 64-59 to Abilene Christian. On the other side the SM Bearkats have a win at Pacific and an OT loss to Utah Valley. OKST was brutal at the charity stripe in their first game, and I'm not sure that gets fixed overnight. That will help keep this score lower. Sam Houston and OSU boast two great defenses. Both teams are ranked in the top 65 when it comes to defensive efficiency and they love to play with a slow tempo. This will be the kind of game where possessions are long. Neither team likes to attack early in the shot clock and we’ve seen them both take up a lot of time. Oklahoma State has been a top 20 defense the last 3 years and that will be shown in this one. Expect a slow pace throughout in a game that’s low scoring. Dating back to last year, The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Sam Houston State's L12, and on the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 5 of OKST's L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Fresno State v. Kent State UNDER 142 | 69-79 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
UNDER 142 Kent State (1-1) face Fresno State (1-0) on Saturday, at 7:00 PM ET at the Memorial A&C Center. Kent's first two games this year have seen scorelines of 79-58 (Win over Malone), and 113-108 an OT loss to James Madison. Fresno State has only played the one game so far, a 77-66 win over Fresno Pacific. Kent and Fresno here have value on the Under, but we don't have a lot to work with on this one other than the scoring stats so far in this young season. FST is averaging 77PPG, and KST 93PPG, KST allows 85PPG, and FST 66. Both are attempting over 20 3-pointers per game, and both teams are shooting over 76% from the charity stripe. No injuries reported by either team, so we'll have a full compliment of rosters in this one. Fresno State is traveling across the country to play this one as they take on a Kent State side that just played a double overtime thriller against James Madison that saw them blow a 5 point lead with seconds left and even come back from one in the first over time with just 12 seconds left. They've had a few days to recover, but they're going to have some fatigue as this will be their third game this week. That will cause some slower possessions and Fresno State is a very high pressure team. Look for this to be the kind of game where it turns into a grind as it goes on. Some high pressure defense and both teams slowing the pace down. Dating back to last season obviously, the total has gone UNDER in all of FST's L5 games played in November. Also, the UNDER is 7-1 in Golden Flashes last 8 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. This one has gone down by 1/2 a point since opening at 142.5. Backing the UNDER here. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB O/U Play |

11-11-23 | UL - Lafayette v. Toledo OVER 155 | 78-87 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Over 155 Saturday the 1-0 ULL Ragin' Cajuns take on the 1-0 (1-0 HOME) Toledo Rockets in college hoops action. This one tips off at 7pm ET from Savage Arena. The opening line for this one was at 153.5. Both teams come in 1-0 ATS. These two last met up on 11/20/18, a 77-64 Toledo win that stayed UNDER the 159. We're on the Over here Saturday however, as this game figures to be one where both teams are open to attacking early in the shot clock. Toledo finished 2nd last year in the MAC as their offense was one of the best not just in the conference, but in the country at times. Over the past 3 seasons they have seen their offense rank at 19, 48th, and 5th in the nation. UL can match that tempo as well. They love to get up and down the floor and aren't shy about getting out in transition. We're grabbing two teams here that can shoot the ball very well and put up a lot of points in flurries. This is going to be the kind of game where runs come from both sides in a shootout. If it comes down to FT's at the end we could get 10-15 points in the last minute from the charity stripe to push this. OVER. The total has gone OVER in 10 of ULL's L12 on the road, and the OVER has hit in 7 of Toledo's L8. Plus dating back to 2022 the total has gone OVER in 8 of the Rockets' L8 games played in November. Back the OVER today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Ohio -1.5 v. Cleveland State | 78-82 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Ohio -1.5 The 1-0 (1-0 ATS) Ohio Bobcats face the 0-1 (1-0 ATS) Cleveland State Vikings on Saturday in college basketball action at 6pm ET. We're on Ohio against Cleveland State on Saturday. At this small number you can play -120 ML, or -1.5 ATS. We're going ATS. The Bobcats have dominated this head to head series as of late and Ohio figures to be one of the teams back in the top of the standings of the Mid American Conference this year. They come in off an 88 point performance to start their season as they love to play with quick pace and can shoot the ball as well as anyone when they're on. The Vikings are poised for a big year, but this is a matchup that simply favors Ohio. They are deep and their ability to shoot the 3 will be the difference maker here. Look for the Bobcats to turn this one into a track meet and put up a lot of pressure early on this Vikings side. We're playing the better team at a good number. Some trends I like, the Bobcats are 9-3 SU in their L12 (dating back to last year of course), and are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. the Vikings, plus they're 7-0 SU in their L7 vs. CLEST. On the flip side the Vikings are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. MAC teams. This won't be a good day for Cleveland State. Back Ohio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ML Play |

11-10-23 | Hornets v. Wizards OVER 239 | 124-117 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
OVER 239 Crazy line movement on most NBA games today. Everyone and their dog is betting OVERS it seems like. I doubt I'll add another NBA game today, but I might! LOL This is one where the movement hasn't been too crazy, so going to pounce. On Friday, Washington (2-5, 3-4 ATS) hosts Charlotte (2-5, 4-3 ATS) at Capital One Arena. The tip-off for this in-season tournament group stage match is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The Wizards are currently ahead in the season series with a 1-0 lead. Just two days ago, these teams faced off, and there wasn't much defense on display. The Wizards grabbed a W 132-116 in Charlotte, covering as a 2.5-point dog. The Wizards have struggled against Eastern Conference teams, holding a 1-5 record in their seven games. On the other side, the Hornets are 2-5 overall and are hoping to break a two-game losing streak. Injured? Rozier will be unavailable for this game, but everyone else is expected to play. Heading into Friday's matchup, the Hornets have allowed at least 124 points in their last five games, with an average of 123 PPG, which ranks them third highest in the league. We've seen the TOTAL go OVER in all of Charlotte's L5 games, the same with Washington. PLUS, we've seen the OVER hit in 10 of the L10 Wizards games against Eastern Conference foes. Can it continue? YES. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 6* NBA O/U Play |

11-10-23 | Arizona v. Duke OVER 154 | 78-73 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
OVER 154 What a non-conference game we get on the docket on Friday night. This should be an epic early season matchup. In Monday's season openers, Arizona had an impressive victory, defeating visiting Morgan State with a score of 122-59. Meanwhile, Duke secured a convincing win at home, outscoring Dartmouth 92-54. These two teams don't meet frequently. Historically, the Wildcats hold a 5-4 advantage over Duke, with a memorable encounter in the 2001 National Championship, where Duke emerged victorious with an 82-71 score. We're playing the Over here in this one as Duke and Arizona are going to go at it here on Friday night. Arizona play fast and they do not slow down either as the game goes on. They love turning things into a track meet, which is exactly what they're going to do here. They've ranked in the top 10 in total offense the past two seasons and they are not shy about hoisting shots up. Their ability to attack early in the shot clock and get out in transition is one of the best in the nation. Duke meanwhile has built their team with talent once again top to bottom. They're deep and have shooters that can score in flurries. This is going to be the kind of game that is back and forth all night long. Look for plenty of attacks both ways. Some trends in our favor on Friday night. The trend to watch is the total score, as it has gone OVER in 10 of Arizona's L15 games, including 5 consecutive OVERs on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray.
