02-15-24 | Warriors -1.5 v. Jazz | 140-137 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Warriors -1.5 Thursday night the last night before the NBA All Star break. 3 games on the schedule. We're diving into the GS Warriors (26-26, 28-24 ATS, 12-12 AWAY) taking on the Utah Jazz (26-29, 31-24 ATS, 17-9 HOME). Warriors are #6 PPG at 119.3 and 21st on D at 117 PPG. The Jazz are 11th 117 PPG, and on D they're 25th at 120 PPG.The Jazz are reeling into the all star break and they’re going to get another tough task here from Golden State. The Jazz were dominated in every which way by the Lakers last night and now have to take on a Golden State team that is looking for their 6th win in 7 games. The Warriors have found a groove and despite falling short to the Clippers last night, they still have plenty of momentum coming into play. Golden State has been much better defensively. While they struggled against a good Clippers team, prior to that they had not allowed more than 112 points in their win streak. One of those games was a 22 point win over this Jazz team where they held Utah to just 107 points. Golden State has found their swagger a bit more as they’re getting contributions from many different players now. It’s Curry being the spark plug, but the support cast is stepping up now and it’s led them back to the .500 mark. Look for the Jazz to struggle with the speed and pressure the Warriors have been playing with lately. Golden State will have all the motivation here as they know they can still finish the first half of the season above .500 despite playing poorly early on. The Warriors are the better team in this spot. Trends, GSW are 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. Utah and 8-2 SU L10 vs. UT. Lastly, they're 4-1 ATS L5 vs. NORTHWEST teams. Flip it, and the Jazz are 2-6 ATS L8, 2-6 L8 SU, and 1-6 ATS L7 vs. PACIFIC div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-15-24 | Avalanche v. Lightning -108 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
Lightning -108 Probable Goalies: Georgiev (28-13-3, 2.94 GAA, 0.897 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Vasilevskiy (18-11, 2.76 GAA, 0.904 SV%, 1 SO) Thursday night the Avs (33-17-4, 13-12-4 AWAY) take on the Lightning (29-20-5, 17-5-3 HOME), a 7pm ET faceoff from Amalie Arena in TB, FL. The Lightning are back on home ice, and in this one the hotter goalie in this one is for sure in Tampa's net. Last game out for TB Vasilevskiy made 36 saves in regulation, overtime, and shootout, securing Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Boston. Lightning led 2-0, then the Bruins tied, but Vasilevskiy held firm. With 5 wins in 6 starts, he boasts 11 straight games allowing under 3 goals, recording 9-2-0, 2.35 GAA, .917 SV% stats. On the other side the Avs enter the match with a 33-17-4 record, ranking second in the Central. They've only clinched 5 wins over their last 10. Tampa Bay's overwhelming firepower outmatches Colorado's efforts. With three players tallying 50+ points and two others surpassing 40, the Lightning's offensive prowess proves formidable to contain. Trends, the Avs are 1-4 SU L5. On the other side the Lightning are 10-3 SU L13, and they're 7-0 SU L7 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
02-15-24 | College of Charleston v. Northeastern +4.5 | 77-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Northeastern +4.5 College Of Charleston (18-7, 10-14 ATS, 6-2 AWAY) take on Northeastern (10-15, 13-12 ATS, 5-4 HOME) on Thursday night at 7pm ET. We’re backing Northeastern here, with the points as they take on College of Charleston on Thursday. Northeastern is in the midst of some of their best basketball coming in on a two game winning streak. They’ve taken down Campbell and Monmouth, both by double digits, as offensively they’ve found a nice groove. They dropped 86 and 77 in the wins and they have a ton of momentum heading into this top matchup with Charleston. Northeastern has played their best basketball it seems at home and they are going to throw Charleston off a bit with their pace. They’ve typically been a slower team, but now they’ve found success the last couple of games with their speed. Charleston is going to overlook this game a bit too. They know Northeastern is in the bottom tier of the conference and with the season winding down, they’re going to come into this game a little flat given that. Look for Northeastern to really use that to their advantage and push the ball in transition on Charleston. Chris Doherty has been a huge catalyst for this Northeastern side and he comes in off a 19 point performance. He’ll be the spark in this one against Charleston’s defense, that has conceded 74.8 ppg in conference play. This is a trap spot and the home side has good value here given the recent play. Trends, C of C are 3-6 ATS L9 and 2-4 ATS L6 in FEB. Plus, they're 0-5-2 ATS in their L7 as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5. NE are 4-2 ATS L6 on Thursday's at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-14-24 | Lakers +5.5 v. Jazz | 138-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show | |
Lakers +5.5 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Detla Center in Salt Lake City, UT we have the LA Lakers (30-26, 10-17 AWAY, 26-30 ATS) taking on the Jazz (26-28, 17-8 HOME, 9-20, 31-23 ATS). We’re on the Lakers here, grabbing the points in this matchup. Los Angeles will come in on the second night of a back to back with momentum after knocking around the Pistons on Tuesday night. It was a complete performance start to finish and now they play their final game until Feb 22nd. Meanwhile, the Jazz will have to deal with the Lakers and look ahead to tomorrow when they take on the Warriors. This isn’t the best spot for Utah and we’re getting a Lakers team seeking a bit of revenge from a tough loss to the Jazz earlier in January. The Lakers are playing some of their best basketball thus far, winning 5 of 6 in the month of February. They’ve been able to really find their offensive groove during this run, as the lowest they’ve totaled in the wins has been 113. They’ve also scored 124 points or more in 3 of those. James and Davis are getting huge help from the support cast. All 5 starters had double figures again against Detroit and they all had at least 15 points. The Lakers are moving the ball so well and they can find success against this Jazz defense. Utah has had its share of issues on the defensive end and we’re going to see a very motivated LA team on Wednesday night. Trends, Lakers are 4-2 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. Northwest teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-14-24 | Rockets v. Grizzlies +2.5 | 113-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Grizzlies +2.5 Tonight at 8:10pm ET we have the Rockets (24-29, 27-24-2 ATS, 5-20 AWAY) taking on the Grizzlies (18-36, 25-29 ATS, 5-20 HOME). This one takes place in Memphis, TN at the FedExForum. Memphis is in a nice spot situationally here against the Rockets. Houston comes in off one of their more impressive wins of the season as they took down the Knicks thanks to a late foul on a three point attempt. This is certainly a spot where the Rockets may come in a little flat. Memphis hasn’t won in the month of February, but they’ve continued to battle and battle against good teams. They also catch the Rockets at a good time here. Houston has been battered by injury after injury over the last couple of months. They remain without reserve forward Tari Eason (leg) for an extended period and lost veteran guard Fred VanVleet (adductor) and rookie Cam Whitmore (ankle). They lack depth and that will be factor here against Memphis. The Grizzlies are going to push the tempo on Houston. The Rockets are very inconsistent offensively and they struggle in fast paced games. Memphis is a younger team and they will try to run in transition and get Houston on their heels in this one. After a big win like the Rockets had last time out, this is a prime let down spot against a physical and quick Memphis side. The Grizzlies are a young team, and they're learning how to play with the big stars. They're also desperate for a win. Desperate times call for desperate measures. This is a well coached team, and the Grizz have the right attitude all around. I'll gladly grab the points against a HOUSTON team that is terrible on the road and are the model of inconsistency. Trends, Rockets 1-4 SU L5, 4-9 SU L13 vs. MEM, 0-5 SU L5 on the road, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. MEM on the road. On the other side the GRIZZ are 8-4 ATS L12. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-14-24 | Illinois-Chicago v. Bradley -14 | 73-85 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
Bradley -14 8pm ET Wednesday when the UIC Flames (10-15, 3-7 AWAY, 11-13 ATS) visit the Bradley Braves (17-8, 10-3 HOME, 13-9-2 ATS) in a clash at Carver Arena, Peoria, Illinois I expect we'll see a nice little game. Both teams, injury-free, seek momentum after recent wins/losses. Bradley is a far better team and they are going to do what they did in this first matchup and run wild on UIC. Bradley took it to the Flames 77-59 at UIC earlier this year and that game perfectly represents how these two teams are. Bradley likes to get to up and down the floor and they can overwhelm teams at times. UIC has had its share of issues with the top teams in the conference and slowing them down. Bradley puts up 75.4 ppg and they’re going to come out with some aggression here after dropping 2 straight to fall back to 3rd in the conference. Like the first matchup, UIC just can’t keep up here. The Flames only average 69.2 ppg which is one of the worst marks in the conference. They have had issues against the top teams in the conference when it comes to finding their rhythm offensively. They’ve struggled to create open looks and this Bradley defense is one that doesn’t allow anybody easy at the rim. Look for Bradley to force some tough shots and create turnovers in this contest. Trends to consider, in their recent 14 games, UIC's ATS record stands at 3-11. They're 2-8 SU in 10 games and 1-7 SU against Bradley. Additionally, UIC is 1-6 ATS on the road and winless in their last 5 road games versus Bradley. Bradley are 11-3 SU L14, and are 7-1 SU L8 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-14-24 | Miami-FL v. Clemson -7 | 60-77 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Clemson -7 7pm tip off, Wednesday night from the Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, SC we have the Miami Hurricanes (15-9, 2-5 AWAY, 14-9-1 ATS) taking on the Clemson Tigers (16-7, 8-3 HOME, 13-10 ATS). We’re on Clemson as they’re in a very nice spot on Wednesday. They welcome in Miami, a team that has had a ton of issues on the road. Miami is about the most inconsistent team in the conference at times. They put up an amazing fight against UNC last time out that fell short, which came after a 38 point performance on the road prior to that game. They’ve been very mediocre away this season and Clemson seems to be a team that is finding their stride at the right time too. Clemson took down UNC and Syracuse, both on the road and now return home for a 2 game stretch where they can really make a push at the ACC. This is a revenge spot for them as they allowed 95 points in a 95-82 loss at Miami much earlier this season. This Canes team has regressed majorly since then, while Clemson is trending upward. The Tigers have been good offensively, putting up 79.0 ppg and they will come right at this Miami defense that has had many problems. Expect a lot of pace and pushing in transition, which is a huge weakness of Miami’s. We’re getting Clemson at the right time and they should impose their will on both ends of the floor. Trends, Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, plus, they're 4-2 ATS in their L6, 4-2 SU L6, and 19-1 SU L20 on Wednesday's at home. These two last played on 1/3/24 a 95-82 Miami win, this time however I see the ball going Clemson's way and advise you to give the points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-13-24 | Kings v. Suns -4.5 | 125-130 | Win | 100 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
Suns -4.5 SacTown (30-22, 27-25 ATS, 15-13 AWAY) take on the Suns (31-22, 21-30-2 ATS, 16-11 HOME) on Tuesday night. Tip off is at 10pm ET from the Footprint Center. Suns are looking to keep their 5-game win streak intact. Suns score 117.4 PPG (12th in NBA), allow 114.4 PPG (15th). Kings: 8th offensively (118.6 PPG), 22nd defensively (118.1 PPG allowed). Phoenix has value in this spot, at home. The Kings have hit a little bit of a snag here as of late. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 4 as their defensive efforts have been very sub par. In the 3 losses during this stretch, the Kings have given up 127, 133, and 136 points in those games. Things don’t get any easier for them against this Suns team that has won 3 of 4 themselves. Phoenix did drop their last game, but this team still playing at such a high level. It’s been the players around Durant and Booker that have stepped up and found a way to make a huge impact. Allen in particular has been one huge threat from the outside that has given this Suns team a boost. He hit 9 3-pointers in the Suns comeback win over the Kings last time these two met and he continues to produce a lot from behind the arc. Bradley Beal is another one who found a way to fit into this system. If the Suns can continue to get big production from them, then opposing teams are in a lot of trouble. The Kings defense is just too hard to trust in this spot. Sacramento is going to struggle once again with the speed and weapons the Suns have. Look for Phoenix to push the issue on them and get them in a hole early. Trends, Phoenix are 5-2 ATS in their L7, are 12-4 SU in their L16, plus they're 5-0 SU in their L5 at home, and lastly they're 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the West Conf. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-13-24 | Devils v. Predators -138 | 4-2 | Loss | -138 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Preds -138 Nashville ML The Devils (26-21-4, 14-9-2 AWAY) play for the second straight night on Tuesday when visiting the Predators (27-23-2, 14-13 HOME). We're backing the Preds here as they have the edge in this spot. Situationally, the Devils have not been good on back to backs. They have been inconsistent all season long really and they come in off a 3-1 win over the Kraken on Monday night. Their issue this year has been finding that stability and rhythm. New Jersey has been extremely up and down on the offensive end and that doesn't bode well when they have one of the worst defenses in the NHL. The Devils rank 29th in the entire league, allowing 3.52 ppg. It's been rare for them to run a string of games where they have been good on this end of the ice. With this being the 2nd game of the back to back, there should be some sloppy play the Preds can take advantage of. Nashville plays with a very slow tempo that will also frustrate the Devils. Averaging 3.0 gpg, they love to focus on possession and keeping the puck in the attacking zone. The Devils are going to be fatigued and thrown off with the pace, which gives a huge edge to the Predators. We're getting the Preds at a nice price here given all the factors. Trends, NJ 2-4 SU L6, and 0-8 SU L8 vs. NASH. NJ are also 1-4 SU L5 on the road vs. NASH. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
02-13-24 | Kings -139 v. Sabres | 0-7 | Loss | -139 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Kings -140 Probable Goalies: David Rittich (6-1-3, 1.89 GAA, 0.931 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Luukkonen (12-13-2, 2.60 GAA, 0.909 SV%, 3 SO) LA Kings (24-15-10, 15-6-4 AWAY) visit Buffalo (22-25-4, 11-14-1 HOME) at KeyBank Center. Puck drops 7pm ET. The Kings have put together impressive back to back wins and they have a nice edge against a Buffalo team that has been far too inconsistent this season. Buffalo has been one of the worst offensive teams in the league. The Sabres only put in 2.90 gpg and they saw their inconsistencies come to the forefront once again as they put in just 1 goal in a loss to the Blues. Thats been the store for Buffalo all season long really. Their inability to put pucks on net and put pressure on opposing goals is just non existence sometimes. That doesn’t bode well against a Kings team that is one of the best in the league on the defensive end. Los Angeles only concedes 2.59 gpg and they come in off a shutout against an impressive Oilers team. The Kings have leaned on their defense, which in turn has allowed them to dominate possession and not give up multiple chances on their net. They should be able to dictate the pace and have Buffalo getting worn down as this game goes on. The Kings are the better team and more consistent in this spot. Sabres won last game between these two 5-3, but this Kings team is playing pretty good hockey of late and I see this one going the way of the road team. In his most recent game, Rittich secured a shutout with 26 saves in a 4-0 victory against the Oilers. He has been stellar of late, and the Kings have been electric away from home so far this year with only 6 losses. Trends, Buffalo are 2-4 SU in their L6, and 5-13 SU L18 in FEB. dating back to last year. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NHL ML Play | |||||||
02-13-24 | Iowa State +1.5 v. Cincinnati | 68-59 | Win | 100 | 21 h 53 m | Show | |
Iowa State +1.5 IST (18-5, 16-7 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) takes on Cincinnati (15-8, 12-11 ATS, 12-3 HOME) Tuesday night at 7pm ET from the Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati, OH. Iowa State has the value here in this matchup as they are at a nice price on Tuesday. The Cyclones are the better team here. Iowa State has feared no one this season and they continue to beat good teams, whether it’s home or away really. They’ve won 5 of 6 and were just inches away from winning all 6 had the half court heave not been after the buzzer at Baylor. They’ve taken down the likes of Kansas and TCU during this stretch as they’ve been able to really build a good resume for themselves. Their offense will get most of the recognition, given they score nearly 80 ppg. However, this team has been a force on the defensive end. Allowing just 62.1 ppg, the Cyclones have dominated on this end of the floor. They force turnovers, tough shots, and they’ve held the opposition to just 40% shooting from the field. They have the edge against the Bearcats here, who are a team that has struggled at times offensively this season. Iowa State is going to frustrate the Bearcats and force them into many difficult shots. Along with some turnovers, the Cyclones are going to get some good looks in transition. Cincinnati has had issues with teams that play at this caliber and this won’t be any different on Tuesday. Trends, IST 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 4-2 ATS L6 vs. CIN, plus they're 5-2 ATS L7 on the road. CIN are 3-6 SU L9, and 2-9 ATS L11 Tues games. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-12-24 | Kansas +2.5 v. Texas Tech | 50-79 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
KU +2.5 (19-5, 2-4 AWAY, 10-14 ATS) takes on the Red Raiders (17-6, 12-1 HOME, 10-12-1 ATS) on Monday night. 9pm ET tip off from United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, TX. The Jayhawks have value here grabbing points on the road at Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have been one of those teams who continue to grind and find ways to win. They’ve beat number 13 Baylor and number 4 Houston in 2 of their last 3 games and now they have a chance to add to their resume with a ranked win on the road. They should get a huge boost too health wise. Saturday they were without former Red Raider, Kevin McCullar (19.5 ppg) and Jamari McDowell on Saturday and still managed a win. Both should’ve back here on Monday which helps this lineup tremendously. Tech has been so incredibly inconsistent and they needed to find a way to grind a win over UCF last time out to end a 3 game losing skid. They just haven’t been able to get the rhythm on offense, especially as of late. Kansas has been smothering defensively as they’ve picked up the pressure. They’re going to overwhelm Tech in this matchup and force a lot of turnovers from a team that’s been careless with the ball. Kansas is the better side and has the edge here. Trends, KU are 15-4 SU L19, 8-1 SU L9 vs. TT, and 11-2 SU L13 vs. TT on the road. On the other side Texas Tech are 1-4 ATS L5. Expect KU to take TT down on Monday night. They'll win outright by 3-5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-12-24 | Wizards v. Mavs UNDER 248 | 104-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
UNDER 248 Monday night the Wizards (9-43, 24-27-1 ATS, 6-20 AWAY) take on the Dallas Mavs (30-23, 28-25 ATS, 15-13 HOME), tip off is at 8:30pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. The last time these two met up Doncic got himself 26 pts and dished out 10 assists as the Mavs triumphed over the Wizards 130-117 on 11/15/23. Irving was sidelined due to a sprained left foot. Mavs come in looking for 5 wins in a row. The Sixers took down WSH 119-113 on SAT (their 6th straight L). Washington just doesn't have the firepower to keep up in this game which is going to affect this total. The Wizards have struggled all season long and they're just far too inconsistent to trust with a total this high. They rank just 17th in the NBA, averaging 114.8 ppg. They have struggled both inside and out and they are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the league. Coming into play on Monday, they sit at 27th in the league, hitting at just a 35% clip. All of this should add up to a game where they struggle from the field and a couple cold spurts by a team when a total is this high usually results in an under. Dallas is going to come into this one with some fatigue too. The Mavs have had a tough stretch of games lately and they know taking on the Wizards might be a game they can look past a bit. Dallas also continues battle injuries, which we could see some key pieces get limited minutes if this game turns ugly early. Expect a game with very little rhythm and consistency, especially when Washington has the ball. With the way the Wizards' games have gone too, a blowout could come and be beneficial to this game slowing down late with the possessions. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 9 of WSH L11, and in 7 of their L10 in FEB. For Dallas, the total has gone UNDER in 8 of their L12, and in 13 of the L20 played on Monday's at home, also, the Under is 4-0 in Mavs L4 after scoring more than 125 points in prior matchup. My model sees this one staying under 244. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
02-12-24 | Flames v. Rangers OVER 6 | 0-2 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 30 m | Show | |
OVER 6 Probable Goalies: Markstrom (17-13-2, 2.54 GAA, 0.915 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Shesterkin (20-12-1, 2.86 GAA, 0.899 SV%) Monday night only a small NHL card. My favorite play is the total between the Rangers/Flames. Calgary (25-22-2, 13-11-4 AWAY) takes on NYR (33-16-3, 17-7 HOME) at 7pm ET from MSG. In their last matchup Shesterkin thwarted 28 shots of 31 in a 4-3 OT victory against the Hawks last Friday. Despite not starting since Jan. 26, he was tapped for Friday's game, securing the win despite a spirited Blackhawks rally. On the other side Markstrom made 35 saves and picked up an assist in a 5-2 win over the Islanders. We get two teams here playing at a very high level entering this matchup on Monday. Both teams sit with 4 straight wins and they’re getting some good offensive production during this run. Calgary has put in 3.13 gpg this season and over the last 4 games, they’ve had performances in 3 of those 4 of 4 goals or more. They’ve been able to put together this run with their ability to attack. We’ve seen a much more aggressive Calgary side as they’re not only peppering the opposing net, but they’re beating teams with 2nd and 3rd chances on goal. They’re going to have success against the Rangers who aren’t used to a team with this much speed. New York can match the offensive production though. They come in off a 4 goal performance themselves and they’ve been able to crash the net with a lot of success on their end. These are two teams playing with so much confidence right now, it’s going to really give us scoring chances both ways. Expect a fast game with back and forth action. An early goal especially opens things up and we should get some early fireworks based on the recent games between these two teams. Trends, total has hit the OVER in 4 of CGY's L6, and in 4 of CGY's L5 playing on the road against NYR, plus the total has gone OVER in 5 of CGY's L6 vs. EAST teams. On the other side the total has gone OVER in 4 of NYR's L6 vs. CGY, and in 10 of their L15 in FEB. Rangers are 15-2-2 L19, they're scoring a ton of goals and this has the makings of an end to end goal fest. Flames have scored 14 in their last 3. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-11-24 | 49ers v. Chiefs +1 | 22-25 | Win | 100 | 318 h 27 m | Show | |
Chiefs +1 The 49ers (14-5, 9-10 ATS) will clash with the Chiefs (14-6, 12-8 ATS) in Super Bowl LVIII on February 11th at Allegiant Stadium in LV, 6:30pmET on CBS start time. In terms of the opening Super Bowl odds, the 49ers are favored with a Moneyline (ML) of -120, while the Chiefs stand at +100. The spread favors the 49ers by 1.5 points (-110), and the Over/Under is set at 47.5 points. This Super Bowl matchup is a rematch of Super Bowl LIV in Miami, where the Chiefs won 31-20. The Chiefs have been dominant recently, winning 5 of 6 vs. SF and covering the spread in 5 of those. The 49ers making their 8th appearance and claiming SB wins in 5 (of course it's been a while). Meanwhile, the Chiefs are the reigning champions, having defeated the Eagles 38-35 in 2023. Last week, in the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers were trailing 24-7 at halftime against the Lions, they mounted an impressive comeback, scoring 17 in the 3rd and ultimately won 34-31 scoring 27 unanswered points. The Lions managed a late score for a backdoor cover. On the other side, in the AFC Championship, the Chiefs took control early with a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter against the Ravens and never relinquished it, securing a 17-10 win. Both defenses in that one were great, but Mahomes outplayed Jackson, and the game didn't ever look to be in doubt.

OKC -3 SacTown (30-21, 27-24 ATS, 15-12 AWAY) takes on OKC (35-17, 31-20-1 ATS, 20-6 HOME) on Super Bowl Sunday! Tip Off is 3pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC, OK. Oklahoma City will love the sight of returning home here as they take on the Kings. The Thunder were throttled in Dallas last night and this is one of those games where they will look to come out with some purpose. The Thunder have to be steamin' mad with the 2 road losses they have just suffered. Plus when you look at this history of this matchup SAC absolutely OWNS OKC. Winning 9 of the L10, and the L8. There's a serious case of revenge angles here. This is a different OKC team this year. They have an MVP candidate (SGA) and a new shiny toy in Chet Holmgren who is playing at the top of his game right now. They play some of their best basketball at home for starters. Coming into play they have won 10 of their last 11 here inside this building and they have beaten some top teams in the process. The Thunder energy level has been up for home games and they’re going to come out firing away after being demolished in their last few games. They take on a Kings defense that has its share of issues too. They come into play allowing nearly 118 ppg defensively. They constantly get beat in transition and allow a lot of open shooting lanes for the opposition. The Thunder are the perfect team to pick that apart. Expect a lot of quick transition buckets to go along with some open looks from behind the arc. They have the talent to match the speed of the Kings and with the home edge, they have value. Trends, OKC are 20-6 at home, and are 10-1 L11. Plus, Oklahoma City are 12-6 SU in their L18, 4-1 SU L5 on Sunday's. Lastly, The Thunder are 8-2 ATS in their L10 following a straight up loss 10+. I think this is a get right game in OKC this afternoon. You know what to do. Hop ON! Back the Thunder -3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-11-24 | Bowling Green v. UL - Lafayette -7 | 60-86 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Louisiana -7 Bowling Green (16-7, 10-11 ATS, 4-3 AWAY) take on the ULL Cajuns (15-9, 12-10 ATS, 9-2 HOME) on Sunday. This one tips off at 3pm ET from the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA. We’re backing Louisiana here, laying the points at home on Sunday. Bowling Green’s record is a bit deceiving as they have struggled as of late. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 5 and their two wins have been to sub par teams out of the MAC. The Falcons are going to have their hands full with a Louisiana team that has played some of their best basketball as of late. The Ragin Cajuns had been on a tear, winning 7 in a row before they stumbled their last time out. Still, taking nothing away from this team as they have been impressive this season and they’ve done it on both ends of the floor. They have averaging over 77 ppg and shot over 46% from the field on average this season. They dropped 80+ points in 6 of those 7 wins during that run as they can beat teams both inside and out. This is just a mismatch for the Falcons. Bowling Green has been far too inconsistent to trust and their inability to slow teams down that like to play fast has been a major issue. Louisiana is going to run on them and force turnovers, which should lead to some easy buckets in transition the other way. Look for a lopsided game, where Louisiana dominates in every which way. Trends, Bowling Green are 2-4 ATS in their L6, and 2-14 SU L16 in FEB. ULL are 6-2 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, and they're 18-2 SU L20 at home. You know what to do in this one! Lay the points. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-10-24 | USC v. Stanford -2 | 68-99 | Win | 100 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
Stanford -2 USC (9-14, 10-13 ATS, 1-7 AWAY) takes on Stanford (11-11, 12-10 ATS, 8-4 HOME) at 10pm ET on Saturday night from the Maples Pavilion in Stanford, CA. We're on Stanford here, laying the small number at home on Saturday night. USC has become an ultimate fade this season. The Trojans have been atrocious this season and the latest was another loss on the road to Cal. USC fell to 1-7 on the road and they have far too many issues to trust. Stanford is 8-4 at home this season and they need to put together some kind of good ending themselves here to the season. It starts here against the lower tier Trojans. USC lost their seventh in the last eight games and now they sit at the bottom of the Pac-12. This team just has so many issues on both ends of the floor. They rank near the bottom on both offense and defense and their inability to get timely stops has hurt them tremendously. Stanford has shown some signs of brilliance this season and their success comes from the offensive end. They put up nearly 78 ppg and they shoot the 3 as better as anyone in the nation. They currently rank 12th, shooting at a 38.6% clip from behind the arc. They are going to create a lot of open looks for their outside shooters and the Trojans defense is just too subpar to trust. Stanford will eventually pull away in this one if USC's defense plays like it has as of late. Trends, SC 1-4 ATS L5, 1-7 SU L8, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. STAN 4-1 ATS L5, 6-1 SU L7 vs. USC at home, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. PAC 12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-10-24 | Arizona v. Colorado -1.5 | 99-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Colorado -1.5 Saturday night late night bail out action. Late add. AZ won G1 between these two on JAN 4th, 97-50. Both teams are in much different spots now then they were then. (18-5, 15-8 ATS, 4-3 AWAY) Arizona take on (16-7, 10-12-1 ATS, 13-0 HOME) Colorado tonight at 10pm ET from the CU Events Center in Boulder, CO. This won't be a full write-up. But I'm loving the Buffs tonight. AZ will be on sea-legs for this one after playing 3x OT's on Thursday vs. Utah. They eventually won 105-99 to go 9-3 in the Pac 12. COLORADO took down ASU Thursday 82-70 and are now 27th in the KenPom rankings. If this game is tight in the 2nd half I trust CU to make their FT's. They're one of the top teams in the country from the charity stripe. Trends, Arizona are 0-5 SU in their L5 on the road against CU, and they're 2-4 ATS L6 on Sat's on the road. Colorado are 5-2 SU in their L7, 10-0 SU L10 at home, and they're 4-1 ATS L5 at home on SAT's. The Buffs keep this one close, and the home court will be rockin' tonight. Expect a court storming post game! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-10-24 | Bulls v. Magic -5 | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Magic -5 Saturday night 7:10pm ET from the Kia Center in Orlando, FL we get the Chicago Bulls (25-27, 27-24-1 ATS, 10-15 AWAY) taking on the Magic (28-24, 34-18 ATS, 16-7 HOME). We’re on Orlando here, laying the points at home. Orlando has got their groove back a little bit as they’ve won 3 of their 4 games to start the month of February off. The key to the Magic being so successful thus far into the season has been their ability to beat teams they’re supposed to beat. They have wins over Minnesota, Detroit, and now the Spurs as they are beating up on teams in games they’re supposed to win. The latest was a 127 point performance as this offense has put together some nice showings as of late. Franz Wagner put up 34 in the win over San Antonio as he returned to the lineup and provided a huge boost for this Magic side. Orlando is the kind of team that leans on their depth. They will look to get a lot of different players involved and should be able to find plenty of success against a Bulls team that is giving up nearly 113 ppg. That number doesn’t indicate either how inconsistent the Bulls have been on the defensive end this season either. Orlando has also played exceptionally well at home. They’re 16-7 SU this year in Orlando and they’ve been able to create separation against teams inside this building. Look for Orlando to put the pressure on early and force the Bulls into some tough shots. Chicago has issues turning the ball over and the Magic defense can exploit that. Trends, Bulls are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Magic, and 1-4 SU L5, plus they're 4-8 SU L12 in FEB. Orlando are 6-1 ATS L7, 4-1 SU L5, 14-5 L19 at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do here! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-10-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Flyers -112 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
Flyers -112 Probable Goalies: Daccord (15-9-9, 2.32 GAA, 0.921 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Ersson (14-9-3, 2.47 GAA, 0.903, 3 SO) Saturday night it's the Kraken (21-19-10, 10-10-6 AWAY) taking on the Flyers (27-19-6, 12-12-2 HOME) in Phili at the Wells Fargo Center. The Kraken are coming into this one off of a long layoff. They haven't played since a 2-0 loss to the Sharks on Jan 30th. Rust will be an issue. For Phili, Ersson's recent performance was stellar. It was the first game back after the break and he didn't have any rust on him at all. In the last game against the Jets, he saved 28 of 29 shots in a 4-1 victory, conceding only in the final 5 minutes. With Hart on leave, Ersson's consistency solidifies his position as the Flyers' top G. The Flyers completely shut down a hot Jets team 4-1 in this last matchup and I'm a fan of them carrying that momentum forward into Saturday night. Trends, Kraken are 2-6 SU L8, 1-4 SU L5 on the road. (0-4 L4 road games) PHI are 6-1 SU L7 vs. WEST teams, and are 5-1 L6 following a win. Seattle has won 3 of the last 5, but the last game on 12/29/23 was a 2-1 OT win, and the Flyers were VERY unlucky in that one not to grab the W in Seattle. (A game I attended LIVE) I'm on Phili in this revenge spot on Saturday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
02-10-24 | North Carolina -3 v. Miami-FL | 75-72 | Push | 0 | 15 h 26 m | Show | |
North Carolina -3 No. 3 North Carolina (18-5 SU, 13-9-1 ATS, 10-2 ATS) travels to Coral Gables to meet Miami (15-8 SU, 13-9-1 ATS, 6-6 ACC) on Saturday at 4pmET at Watsco Center. These teams met once last season with the Hurricanes winning 80-72 at home as a 6-point underdog. UNC has hit their first snag of the season. They come in losers of 2 of their last 3, which includes a home loss to the Clemson Tigers. It's the first time this season that North Carolina will be facing some adversity, but this is a great bounce back spot for them. The Tar Heels have a nice edge on this Miami side, that has been far too inconsistent to trust here this season. Miami has lost 2 of 3 themselves and their latest really showcased the issues they have. They managed just 38 points and had one of their worst shooting performances in quite some time. North Carolina is going to overwhelm them. The Tar Heels are not only going to come out looking to take out some frustrations, but they're also going to push the tempo on Miami. The Hurricanes are giving up 72 ppg and they have had issues with top teams this season. North Carolina averages 82.8 points per game and shoots 45% from the field (35.2% from behind the arc). They are going to prove to be too powerful for Miami and have them on their heels all night long. The edge sits with UNC. Trends, UNC 10-3 ATS L13, 11-2 SU L13, 5-2 SU L7 vs. MIA, and 10-2 SU L12 vs. ACC teams. Miami are 4-9 ATS in the L13 played on a Saturday at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-10-24 | Thunder v. Mavs OVER 239 | 111-146 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
OVER 239 Afternoon game in Dallas today. 3:10pm ET tip. We get the OKC Thunder (35-16, 31-20 ATS, 15-10 AWAY) taking on the Mavs (29-23, 27-25 ATS, 14-13 HOME) from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. New recruits join both teams: Mavericks enlist Gafford, Washington; Thunder sign Gordon Hayward. Mavericks' injury report: Dereck Lively (nose), Dante Exum (knee) out; Maxi Kleber questionable. Luka Doncic (nose), Kyrie Irving (thumb) probable. OKC's sole injury: Hayward, out. These two last met on 12/2/23 a 126-120 OKC win in Dallas. The Thunder and Mavs are going to play to a fast paced game here. Oklahoma City is one of the fastest teams in the NBA and they’ve been able to find a ton of success with their transition play. They have averaged 120.8 ppg and they’ve done it both with their inside presence and outside shooting. They’re at their best when they can get out and run and that’s what they’re going to do in this matchup. They have fresh legs with the off days and they take on a Dallas defense that has had its fair share of issues. Dallas has given up 118.1 ppg this year, which is in the bottom tier of the league. OKC should find plenty of success pushing the tempo and open up a lot of shooting lanes. On the flip side, with OKC’s pace comes a lot of gaps defensively. Dallas averages 118.3 ppg themselves and they can match the pace and intensity here. With the acquisition of PJ Washington, they receive a boost offensively to an already tough team to guard. Trends, the over has cashed in 5 of the L6 for OKC in FEB, and all 5 of these two teams' L5 games have also gone OVER the posted total. Also the Over is 5-0 in Thunder's L5 vs. a team with a winning SU record. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
02-09-24 | Nuggets +1.5 v. Kings | 106-135 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 29 m | Show | |
Nuggets +1.5 At 10:10pm ET this Friday, the Denver Nuggets (35-16; 21-29-1 ATS) clash with the Sacramento Kings (29-21; 26-23-1 ATS), reviving their rivalry from December. The Kings triumphed with a 123-117 victory in their previous matchup. Denver looks for their 4th straight win and we’re backing them on the road here. This is a revenge spot after they fell in the last matchup to the Kings. They were missing one key piece in the process as they didn’t have Jamal Murray in that meeting. Murray comes in off a hot game against LA last night, where he scored 29 points in the win. With the Nuggets at full health here for the most part, there is plenty of value on them. Denver has obviously been led by Jokic, who continues to put up big numbers. His supporting cast has contributed a ton as the likes of Murray and Porter Jr. have stepped up. Michael Porter Jr. has 27 points in the win himself over LA and when the cast around Jokic is scoring at high levels, there’s no stopping this Nuggets team. The Kings are still a young group and this is a game where Denver is going to come out with some purpose. Look for the Nuggets to match the pace and really force the Kings defense on their heels in transition. Denver is one of the best teams at getting out in transition and opening shooting lanes for their outside threats. Trends, DEN are 6-1 SU L7, 6-2 SU L8 vs. SAC, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. WEST teams. SAC are 2-4 ATS L6, and are 2-6 ATS L8 at home. PLus, the Kings are 1-4 ATS L5 playing on 1 day rest. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-09-24 | Penguins v. Wild UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 10 m | Show | |
UNDER 6 Probable Goalies: Jarry (14-14-4, 2.45 GAA, 0.916 SV%, 6 SO) vs. Fleury (8-9-3, 2.95 GAA, 0.897 SV%, 1 SO) The Penguins (23-17-7, 10-9-4 AWAY) and Wild (22-23-5, 12-11-3 HOME) clash on Friday night and this Under has value. These two teams have been under teams here in the 2023-2024 season. Pittsburgh comes in 13-26-2 on the under, with the last 3 games going under the total. Six of the last seven for them have also gone under for them as they love to play at a slow pace. Digging a little deeper, they rank 20th in the NHL, averaging just 3.0 gpg. Their defense has been one of the best in the entire league too. They have given up just 2.6 gpg and haven't been phased when they go on the PK. Minnesota has gone under in 3 straight themselves and they too, only average 3.0 gpg. The Wild have been incredibly inconsistent this year on the offensive end and they are going to struggle against the Penguins defense. Minnesota has scored just 2 goals in each of their last 3 games, which sums up what they've done this year. Look for a very slow game with neither team looking to get out and counter. This should be a possession battle, benefiting the under. Trends, UNDER has hit in 6 of PIT's L7, and 4 of their L6 vs. WEST teams. For MIN, the Under is 4-0-1 in their L5 vs. a team with a losing record, and it's 7-1 L8 SU when MIN is a home dog. (They're a dog at some books already) I'm expecting MA Fleury in net for MIN, which should also help this UNDER as we're going to get a motivated GK for this one. You know what to do. Hop ON!

The Flyers have the value here in a huge A-10 battle on Friday night. Dayton comes in with 19 wins and sits 18th in the country as they are looking to make quite a name for themselves heading into March. The Flyers have won 3 straight games and 15 of their last 16 games overall as they continue to put up some impressive numbers on both ends of the floor. Dayton has scored 76 or more over this 3 game winning streak as their offense is one of the best in the country. They have been one of the top teams in the entire nation when it comes to shooting the 3 ball as well. They rank 5th, hitting the 3 point shot at a 40% clip. Coming into play on Friday, the Flyers have averaged 75 ppg and they have heated up as of late. Defensively, they are ranked 30th in the nation, giving up just 65.0 ppg. They have been incredibly impressive, holding the opposition to just 40.7% shooting from the field. VCU doesn't have enough firepower to keep up in this matchup. Dayton is red hot right now and the Rams haven't proven they can stay consistent. Look for Dayton to impose their will early on the defensive end and find themselves with some open looks in transition. Trends, DAY are 4-2 ATS L6, 16-1 SU L17, 5-1 ATS L6 on the road, and 9-1 SU L10 vs. ATL10 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

After meticulously staring at the angles for this game for the last couple hours I can't avoid this highly anticipated clash. This game marks the second meeting of the season between the Lakers/Nuggets, coinciding with a momentous tribute to the legendary Kobe Bryant. the Lakers will unveil a new statue of Bryant outside Crypto.com arena. Additionally, the hosts will don "Black Mamba" themed jerseys. The Lakers have been on the road for the Grammy awards and returning home will be a breath of fresh air for them. You’re going to see a Lakers team that comes out with a purpose, especially Lebron here in this one. The Lakers stood pat at the deadline and they can’t be too happy about it. They’re going to come out with some fire in this one and they matchup well with Denver in some aspects. Los Angeles has momentum too. They went 4-2 on the road swing and they have leaned on their offensive firepower. They come in averaging over 116 PPG per game which is in the top tier of the NBA. Denver has hit a bump in their road games as well after dropping back to back games away from Denver. Lebron and company know how important this night is to Los Angeles and they are going to have a couple extra notches of energy. For me the key to this game is slowing down Murray. He always has big games in LA, but on this night, in this building, I'm on the home team. Trends, DEN 2-4 ATS L6, 3-8 SU L11 when playing vs. LA in LA. Lastly, they're 2-5 ATS L7 vs. WEST teams. For LAL 5-2 SU L7, 4-1 ATS L5 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. NW Div. teams. You get the feeling it's going to be one of those nights in LA. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The last time these two met was 4/6/23, a 6-1 NYI win at home. The Islanders are at a nice price here as the Lightning have this quick turnaround. Tampa Bay received a potential huge blow to their season with Mikhail Sergachev being stretched off on Wednesday night. He’s such a crucial part to this defense and now they have a quick turnaround after dealing with. They also come in after losing that game to the Rangers, as their offense remained inconsistent putting in just 1 goal in the loss. That’s been one of the stories for this Lightning team, as they haven’t found a consistent run with their offensive production. The Islanders have themselves some momentum entering play here too. They started off February with a huge road win in Toronto 3-2 and they are looking to make a push here with a 4 game home stand. The Islanders have played their best hockey at home this season and they catch the Lightning in a good situational spot here. Expect Tampa Bay to struggle with this being that 2nd game of a back to back and the focus to be off a bit with that injury happening on Wednesday. Tampa Bay will struggle with how physical the Islanders play and it should result in some issues with them on both ends of the ice. This is a good price on the home side here. Trends, NYI 4-2 L6 in FEB, and are 5-1 in their L6 Thursday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||

The Wildcats matchup extremely well with Utah. Coming into this one, Arizona has 3 in a row and 5 of their last 6 as they can make a real run at a one seed come March. They beat a very good Oregon on the road then handled business at home in back to back games. Arizona has been phenomenal on the offensive end and teams are struggling to keep up with their pace. Over their last 6 games, they’ve scored 77 points or more in each of those and on the year they’re averaging 89.0 ppg. This team is built different and they have the ability to come at you with so many different weapons. Caleb Love has been the catalyst, averaging 18.9 ppg this year. Hes hit double digits in all but one game this season and had 36 points in the last road game for Arizona. Utah was already blitzed by 19 by this Arizona team this season and they simply don’t have the firepower to keep up. This is a game where the Wildcats will run and set the tempo early. This is a clear mismatch and the value sits with the visitors. Trends, AZ 5-1 SU L6, 16-4 SU L20 vs. UT, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. PAC 12. UT 3-7 ATS L10, 4-10 ATS L14 vs. Pac 12. You know what to do.

Pacers -6 GSW (22-24 SU, 22-23-2 ATS) will take on the Pacers (29-24 SU, 28-21-3 ATS) at 7pm ET Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. ON D GSW give up 118.4 PPG (21st). The Pacers average 124.3 PPG (1st) on 50% shooting (1st), and they're 38% from 3pt. (4th). GSW have to be getting tired on this road trip. This will be their 3rd in 4, and 5th in 7. Golden State has to be looking forward to getting back home, even if it’s for a brief game. This is the kind of spot where they certainly overlook this game. Teams in the NBA have struggled in the final game of long road trips and they come in winning 3 of 4 already on this road swing. Regardless of the outcome here, they can consider this a successful trip and they will already have their sights set on their big home matchup with the Suns. Along with that, this Pacers team is so tough to deal with. They love to play so quick and will push the tempo on the Warriors knowing they’re on a back to back right now. Indiana is near the top of the NBA with 124.3 ppg this season. They come in winners of 2 straight, which includes a 135 point performance last time out. Indiana will get out in transition and really put an emphasis on getting some easy baskets at the rim. Expect the Warriors to battle some fatigue as this game goes on and Indiana will wear them down more and more. There is good value here on the home side. Trends, GSW 2-5 ATS L8 on the road, 2-5 SU L7 vs. IND, and 1-6 ATS L7 vs. IND. The Pacers are 6-1 ATS L7 playing at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

OVER 6 Probable Goalies: Demko (27-8-1, 2.43 GAA, 0.920 SV%, 5 SO) vs. Ullmark (15-6-2, 2.78 GAA, 0.913 SV%) Van (34-11-5) vs. Boston (31-10-9) on Thursday night in NHL betting action. The Nucks won last game out 3-2 over the Canes. Their new toy Elias Lindholm (traded from CGY) scored 2 for VAN in the win. We've got some offensive players locked and loaded for this matchup. VAN has Miller, Pettersson, Hughes, and of course Boeser and Lindholm. Boston has Marchand, Pastrnak, and come in off of a loss to Calgary 4-1. Boston has averaged 3.5 GPG. VAN averaged 3.8 GPG. Van 13-6 OVER in the L19, BOS 6-4 OVER L10. They've scored 189 goals, Boston has netted 174. I'm expecting an offensive explosion in this one on Thursday night. FIREWORKS! It's the #1 scoring team vs. the #8 scoring team. Both are top 6 in shot%. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 7 of VAN's L10 vs. EAST teams, and in 15 of VAN's L18 in Feb, plus the OVER is 6-1 in VAN's L7 games as an underdog of +110 to +150, and the OVER has hit in the L5, 4-1 vs. a team with a winning record for VAN.

02-07-24 | USC +3.5 v. California | 77-83 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 14 m | Show | |
USC +3.5 (9-13, 10-12 ATS, 1-6 AWAY) USC Trojans take on CAL (9-13, 11-11 ATS, 7-5 HOME) on Wednesday night. 11pm ET from the Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, CA. We're on USC, grabbing the points here. The Trojans have been an underwhelming team here this season as they had high hopes to compete for a Pac-12 championship. Now, things look bleak for them, but they are much better than their record indicates. A win here can help them build off some momentum as they come in off a dominant performance over Oregon State last time out. The Trojans had one of their most complete performances of the season as they took down the Beavers 82-54 in a rout. The Trojans shot 49% from the field and held the Beavers offense to very little production both inside and out. That is the USC team that was expected this year and they matchup well with a Cal team that is incredibly inconsistent. The Bears' issues have been on both ends of the floor as they rank 154th in total offense and are 301st in the nation in total defense. USC is going to push the tempo, like they did against Oregon State and they're going to cause a lot of issues for this Beavers defense, especially in transition. Expect Cal to struggle with this USC offense, that finally has some rhythm to work with. Trends, USC 4-1 ATS L5 vs. CAL, 10-0 SU L10 vs. CAL, 5-0 SU L5 on the road vs. CAL and 5-1 ATS L6 in FEB. CAL is 2-5 ATS L7 at home, 5-15 SU L20 vs. PAC 12 schools, and 1-5 ATS L6 on Wednesday nights. I'm all over the road game in Berkeley on Humpday. Take USC outright in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-07-24 | Cavs -10.5 v. Wizards | 114-106 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 52 m | Show | |
Cavs -10.5 The Cleveland Cavaliers (32-16, 26-20-2 ATS, 14-8 AWAY) take on the Washington Wizards (9-40, 22-26-1 ATS, 3-21 HOME) on Wednesday in the Nations Capital at 7:10pm ET from the Capital One Arena, in DC. Washington has a 9-37 record in games it was the ML dog. Cavaliers rank 16th in NBA scoring with 114.8 PPG; Wizards concede most at 124 PPG. Washington, #18 in scoring with 114.7 PPG, faces Cleveland, #3 in points allowed (109.7 PPG). Cleveland have won 14 of their L15. They won last game out 136-110 over the Kings on Monday night, and shot 56% from 3 in that one. For WSH, they went down 140-112, in a home loss Sunday to the Suns. The Cavaliers are riding hot right now and they have showed no signs of slowing down. This team has showcased great play on both ends of the floor and they're burying teams with their ability to shoot the 3. Cleveland isn't shy about hoisting up the 3 ball and it's been the entire team really that is letting it fly. Against the Kings last time out, Cleveland made 23 three pointers. You read that right as the Cavs attempted 42 from the field. Cleveland's pace has picked up and they can beat opposing teams with both the inside game and obviously their ability to hit the 3. Jared Allen and Evan Mobley both are healthy and it's led this Cavs team to becoming one of the most threatening teams in the league. They currently sit in the 2nd spot and face this Washington team after already blowing them out twice this season. Washington has so many issues on both ends of the floor themselves and they are going to struggle once again slowing this Cavs team down. They don't have the speed or firepower to keep up and Cleveland will put their foot on the gas early. Trends, Cavs 9-3 ATS L12, 6-0 SU L6, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. WSH, 6-0 SU L6 vs. WSH, and 5-1 SU L6 on the road. WSH are 2-5 ATS L7, 3-15 SU L18, 0-5 ATS L5 at home, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-07-24 | Stars v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Oettinger (16-9-2, 3.04 GAA, 0.900 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Samsonov (8-4-6, 3.35 GAA, 0.879 SV%, 2 SO) Wednesday the Stars (30-13-6, 14-5-4 AWAY) take on the Maple Leafs (25-15-8, 11-10-2 HOME) at 7pm ET from the Scotiabank Arena. Samsonov conceded 3 goals on 29 shots, leading to a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Monday. Previously, he secured win in 4 straight, and over the last 5, he's limited opponents to 3 goals or fewer, reclaiming his starting position. For Dallas, Oettinger tends the net for Big D tonight, and presumably tomorrow, boasting a 3-game winning streak with 72 saves on 83 shots. Dallas and Toronto are going to produce a lot of fireworks in this matchup. These two teams sit near the top in pace of play and we should see plenty of end to end action on Wednesday when they meet. Dallas ranks third in the entire NHL, averaging 3.7 gpg this season. They do come in off just a 2 goal performance on Tuesday, but they still have momentum as it resulted in a win over Buffalo. They have been the kind of team that will put up big goal performances after not scoring much the previous game too. They get a Leafs defense that ranks 21st in scoring so they should find plenty of chances. The Leafs themselves though have so many offensive weapons. Toronto is averaging 3.4 gpg and they can come at teams in flurries. They can beat teams from many different angles as they have plenty of scorers on each line. They love to pepper the opposing net and they should find plenty of counter attacking opportunities against Dallas. In fact, both teams should get counter attacks given the aggressive style these two teams play with. Look for back and forth action with plenty of goal scoring chances. Trends, Coming soon. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
02-07-24 | Wisconsin -5 v. Michigan | 68-72 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 24 m | Show | |
Wisconsin -5 Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, MI we get the Wisconsin Badgers (16-6, 10-11-1 ATS, 3-4 AWAY, 8-3 B10) taking on the Michigan Wolverines (7-15, 6-16 ATS, 4-7 HOME, 2-9 B10). Wolverines have lost 15 of the last 19. WISC lost 2 in a row and have dropped two spots in the Top 25. O vs. D in this one. MICH averages 77 PPG, but on D WISC also is stingy, holding opponents to 67.8 PPG. Michigan has completely bottomed out. Back on 1/15, we backed this Michigan side, at home against the Buckeyes. They dominated the game, but since then everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. They’ve dropped 5 straight games, all of which have been by double digits. Now, they welcome in a Wisconsin team that they simply do not match up well against. Wisconsin themselves will come out with a purpose after dropping 2 straight games. They are going to be able to dictate just about everything and anything in this matchup. The Badgers are still one of the best defensively in the Big 10. They are going to have that Michigan offense frustrated. The Wolverines haven’t been able to get anything going on the offensive end and they’re trying to figure things out. That’s never a good thing when you have such a physical defense coming into play here like Wisconsin’s. Look for the Badgers to force a lot of turnovers and not allow the Wolverines to get into any sort of rhythm in this matchup. The Badgers offense will find plenty of shooting lanes, as the Wolverines defense continues to be one of the worst. Trends, WISC 15-4 SU L19, and 17-3 L20 played on a WED. The Wolverines are 0-5 ATS L5, 0-5 SU L5, 1-8 ATS L9 at home, and 1-8 SU L9 vs. BIG TEN schools. I'm expecting a 10-15 point Badgers win on Wednesday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-06-24 | Oilers v. Golden Knights +130 | 1-3 | Win | 130 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
Vegas +130 Tuesday night at 10pm ET in LV it's the Oilers (29-15-1, 13-9 AWAY) taking on the Golden Knights (29-15-6, 18-5-2 HOME). We’re getting Vegas at plus money here out of the break and there’s value on them in this spot. Edmonton has taken the league by storm and they have a chance to earn their spot in the record books with a 17th straight win. However, the all star break was something they didn’t want to see as it cooled them off and took away some of their momentum. Opening up the 2nd half, on the road, in a tough environment like Vegas will be difficult. The Golden Knights won 4 of their last 6 prior to the break and this team has all the confidence in the world themselves. Vegas averages 3.18 gpg, but really their defensive efforts are what make all the difference. Vegas only allows 2.74 gpg, which is one of the best in the league. They have the ability to control the puck and keep this Edmonton high flying attack down. The Golden Knights are one of the best as well when it comes to not allowing multiple chances per possession. Given the style and way they play, they have the ability to frustrate the Oilers in this spot. This is a good price on a matchup that is pretty even across the board offensively, while on the defensive side it favors the Knights. Trends, Vegas are 5-2 SU L7, and 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 6-3 SU L9 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
02-06-24 | Butler v. Connecticut -13.5 | 62-71 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
UConn -13.5 Tuesday night UConn (20-2, 13-9 ATS) hosts Butler (15-7, 11-10 ATS) in NCAAB action. The Huskies are the move here. UConn welcomes in a hot Butler team on Tuesday night, but this is going to be the kind of game where the Huskies impose their will. Butler has had its fair share of issues on the defensive end and the Huskies are going to take full advantage of that. Coming into play, Butler is giving up nearly 74 ppg. That doesn’t bode well against a UConn team that is on fire themselves. The Huskies put up 81.4 ppg themselves and they have been on a tear on both ends of the floor lately. They’ve really turned up the pressure defensively on teams and they’re forcing a lot of turnovers. Those turnovers have resulted in easy buckets the other way and they’re going to really put the heat on Butler. UConn only gives up 64.2 ppg and they forced Butler into some key turnovers and missed shots in their 88-81 win on January 5th. Look for UConn to really force some tough shots from Butler, who will have their issues on both ends of the floor in this matchup. The Huskies will keep their foot on the gas and make this a lopsided one. Trends, Butler are 4-9 ATS L13, 0-8 ATS L8 vs. UConn, and 0-8 L8 SU vs. UConn, they're also 1-4 SU L5 Tuesday games on the road. UConn are 6-3 ATS L9, 10-0 SU L10, and 16-0 L16 SU at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Magic +3 Tuesday 7:30pm ET, the Magic (27-23, 33-17 ATS, 12-16 AWAY) face the Heat (26-24, 13-12 HOME, 21-28-1 ATS) at Kaseya Center. The Heat lead the season series 2-1. The Magic come into this one on a 3-game winning streak, winning 4 of 5, with a 111-99 victory over the Pistons Sunday. The Heat were taken down by the Clippers Sunday 103-95. The Magic are playing some of their best basketball entering play here on Tuesday. Orlando has won three in a row and four of their last five as they continue to do just about everything right. The Magic dominated the Pistons last time out, holding them under 100 points as this defense has been one of the best in the league so far. Orlando has held teams to just 110.6 ppg this year and they’ve held the opposition to under 100 points in five of the last six wins. Orlando has been forcing a lot of turnovers, which has led to some easy buckets. The Magic have forced 14.7 turnovers per game, which is second best in the NBA so far. They also have been averaging 8.2 steals per game which is second in the league. Orlando is going to impose their will defensively in this matchup. Expect them to turn the pressure up, against a Miami offense that has been extremely inconsistent. Trends, Magic are 5-0 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, and 6-1 ATS L7 on the road. The Heat are 2-8 ATS L10, 2-8 SU L10, and 1-5 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams. They're also 3-9 ATS L12 games played in FEB (dating back to last year). You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-06-24 | Avalanche v. Devils OVER 6.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
Over 6.5 Probable Goalies: Georgiev (27-11-3, 2.88 GAA, 0.898 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Vanecek 16-8-2, 3.24 GAA, 0.886 SV%) Tuesday 7:30pm ET, the Colorado Avalanche (32-14-4, 12-9-4 AWAY) take on the Devils (24-20-3, 10-11-2 HOME), 7:37pm at the at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. They last played on 11/7/23. A 6-3 Avs win. Last games out, Colorado fell 2-1 in overtime to the Rangers on February 5, while New Jersey suffered a 6-3 road loss against the Lightning on January 27. These are two teams that love to play with a ton of pace and get up and down the ice. We should see plenty of end to end action in this one, giving a ton of value to the over. Both of these teams put the puck in the net and they also concede a lot. Looking at New Jersey first, the Devils come in averaging 3.43 GPG. They play with a ton of pace and they aren’t shy about peppering the opposing net. They go up against an Avs defense that concedes 3.08 GPG and come in off a loss on Monday. They should be able to put on a relentless attack against this Avs defense and see plenty of goal scoring opportunities. The same came be said on the flip side of things. Colorado is one of the best in the league as they average 3.78 GPG. They see one of the worst defenses in the NHL on the other side of the ice as New Jersey concedes at an alarming rate. They give up 3.55 GPG and have struggled mightily at slowing teams down. This game should produce a lot of fireworks. Expect the pace to be high and for both teams to really put an emphasis on attacking the net for rebounds. With this being a wide open game, goal scoring chances will come plenty in this one. Trends, OVER has hit in 10 of COL's L13. Plus, the OVER is 6-1 in the AVS L7 road games, and 5-1 in Avs L6 after scoring 2 goals or less in prior matchup. The OVER is 4-1 in NJ's L5 vs. WEST teams. Also, the total has gone OVER in 4 of NJ's L6 games against Colorado, and in 4 of NJ's L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL O/U Play | |||||||

Kansas State +5.5 KU Jayhawks (18-4, ATS) take on the KState Wildcats (14-8, ATS) on Monday night at 9pm ET from the Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, KS. We’re on the Wildcats here, grabbing the points. Kansas and Kansas State renew their rivalry and when these two teams meet, it’s always quite a show. Kansas State and Kansas always go at it and things seem to be close in every matchup. While the Wildcats are struggling right now, this is the perfect opportunity for them to right the ship. Kansas State has lost some luster on the offensive end during this losing skid, but this team still has weapons that can take off at any moment. The Cats come in score around 72 ppg, but their edge also comes on the defensive end. They give up just 68 ppg and they love playing with a ton of high pressure. They aren’t shy about playing a physical game and that’s what the Jayhawks are going to get here in this game. Kansas State has to make sure this game is played with a slow pace where they can win on the defensive end. Expect them to get up high for this game as it’s the perfect chance for them to turn things around with march approaching fast. A signature win would be giant for them in this spot and they catch Kansas in what could be a let down spot. Trends, KU 2-5 ATS L7 on the road, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. KState on the road. KST are 6-3 SU L9 Monday games and 5-0 SU L5 Monday games @ home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-05-24 | Raptors v. Pelicans UNDER 230.5 | 100-138 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
UNDER 230.5 Monday night the Toronto Raptors (17-32, 23-25-1 ATS) face off against the New Orleans Pelicans (28-21, 27-21-1 ATS) at 8:00 ET in the Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA. The NBA ML Odds are Raptors +463 | Pelicans -673, ATS NBA Odds show Toronto +11.5 | New Orleans -11.5, and the Total is O/U 231.5. The Under has good value. Toronto is winding down what has been an exhausting road trip thus far. Still with 2 games remaining on this 6 game road swing, the Raptors have just one win and come in after a double overtime game last night in OKC. It was an eventual loss as well, which brings them in on a low here. Fatigue will play a part thanks to that game last night and the travel they had to endure. The Raptors have been extremely inconsistent as well, adding to the value of this under. We’ve seen them at times struggle to find rhythm and that will be the case here especially, with the tired legs. New Orleans has stepped it up defensively over their last two games. They come in after allowing just 113 points to the Spurs which came after allowing only 99 to the Rockets. The Pelicans haven’t played as quickly as they typically do lately and we’ve seen some very low point totals from them over the last month. This has the makings of a game where Toronto slows the tempo down. They know they can’t get into a track meet given the fatigue factor. And they also know the Pelicans will be knocked off their game with a slow tempo. Expect them to dictate the pace, giving value to this Under. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of Toronto's L10, and in 4 of their L6 FEB games. On the other side, The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NOP's L5, 5 of their L7 vs. TOR, and in 4 of their L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
02-05-24 | Clippers v. Hawks +3 | 149-144 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 20 m | Show | |
Hawks +3 LAC (32-15, 26-21 ATS, 13-11 AWAY) take on the Atlanta Hawks (22-27, 14-35 ATS, 12-13 HOME) on Monday night. The Hawks have value for a few reasons here. We backed the Clippers last night and they had a hard fought win and cover against the Heat. It was a game that was extremely physical and saw both teams really go at each other from start to finish. After dealing with a physical game like that, the Clippers now have to shift their focus to a Hawks team that plays incredibly fast paced. That surely will cause some fatigue with this being the 2nd leg of a back to back. Expect Atlanta to put more of an emphasis on getting out and pushing the tempo, knowing that the Clippers are going to have some tired legs. Atlanta also is red hot right now. They’ve won 4 straight games and they’ve scored 126 points or more in all 4 of those wins. Coming into play, they’re averaging 121.2 ppg, which is one of the best marks in the NBA. The Clippers are going to struggle with their transition defense and that should produce some easy buckets for the Hawks. Look for this game to turn into a track meet, which heavily favors the Hawks side. Trends, LAC 1-4 ATS L5 FEB games. Hawks are 4-1 SU L5, 6-3 ATS L9 vs. PACIFIC div teams, and 6-3 SU L9 games in FEB. I'll take a home dog a lot of the time. Second night of a b2b for the Clippers, so playing on the home side on Monday. Clips beat the Heat 103-95 on Sunday night. Late night flight from Miami to Atlanta, never easy. Going to back the home team. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-05-24 | Miami-FL v. Virginia -5 | 38-60 | Win | 100 | 20 h 6 m | Show | |
UV -5 (15-7, 13-8-1 ATS, 2-4 AWAY) Miami take on the (17-5, 12-9-1 ATS, 12-0 HOME) Virginia Cavaliers on Monday evening. 7pm ET from the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, VA. Virginia has a ton of value in this spot. Miami had high expectations this season, but it has seemed when they play top tier opponents, they tend to flop. This is another one of those cases as they take on a Cavaliers team who is unbeaten at home. Miami does come in after a win over Virginia Tech, but they have had plenty of issues this year when playing on the road. They’ve dropped 2 of their last 3 road games and defensively this team is a mess. They give up nearly 73 ppg and Virginia’s shooting abilities is going to be overwhelming for the Canes in this spot. Virginia slows the pace down and makes it so difficult for teams to guard their ball movement. Obviously combine that with their defensive strengths and they’re going to be so tough for Miami to handle. Virginia is one of the best in the entire nation, giving up just 57.8 ppg. They frustrate teams with their high pressure and they do not allow 2nd chances. Miami is going to struggle with the tempo of this game it should result in the Cavaliers dictating a lot. Combine that with this massive home court advantage and we’re getting a good number here. Look for Virginia to control this one from the outset. Trends, Miami are 1-6 SU L7 vs. UVA, and are 1-7 SU L8 vs. UVA on the road. UVA are 4-1-1 ATS L6, 6-0 SU L6, 20-0 SU L20 at home. This won't be an easy matchup by any means, but I love the 20-0 home record in CVille, and I think the Cavs will cover the 5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-04-24 | Raptors v. Thunder -9.5 | 127-135 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
OKC -9.5 Sunday 7:10pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC it's the Toronto Raptors (17-31, 22-25-1 ATS, 7-18 AWAY) taking on the OKC Thunder (34-15, 31-17-1 ATS, 19-6 HOME). The Thunder are #4 in the league for scoring, averaging 120.6 PPG, whereas the Raptors rank 18th in points allowed with 117 PPG. Toronto's offense ranks 18th, scoring 114.3 PPG, while OKC boasts the #11 defense, conceding 112.5 PPG. The Thunder are a team you don’t want to see right now, especially when you’re dealing with injuries. Oklahoma City has been playing some great basketball in this first half of the season as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear lately. He comes in third in the NBA in scoring, averaging 31.3 ppg. He also leads the NBA in steals per game as he’s doing everything on both ends of the floor. It’s led to the Thunder being one of the best offensively rounded teams in the league and they have showed no signs of slowing down. The Thunder have won back to back games and 7 of their last 9. During that stretch, SGA has averaged 32.6 points, 7.0 asts, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 steals. The Raptors will have their hands full in this one and they also have injuries to deal with. Both RJ Barrett and Jontay Porter have been out and they come in off a blowout loss to the Rockets. This is just a mismatch and the Thunder are going to be too much for this Toronto side. I'm all over the home team on Sunday. I know that SGA gets up for games against his hometown team. He knows this game will be on LIVE in Canada, and will be determined to put on a show. He also wants to put one over on countrymen Barrett. Trends, Toronto are 2-5 ATS L7, 1-6 SU L7, 1-4 SU L5 on the road, and are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Northwest teams. On the other side, OKC are 7-2 SU L9, are 9-1 SU L10 at home, are 4-1 SU L5 vs. EAST teams, and lastly, OKC are 11-4 ATS L15 Sunday games at home. This should be a great dual. You know what to do.

Clippers -4 LAC (32-15, 26-21 ATS, 13-11 AWAY) take on the Heat (26-23, 21-27-1 ATS, 13-11 HOME) today 6pm ET from the Kaseya Center in Miami, FL. We’re on the Clippers here, laying the points. Los Angeles continues to be red hot. A loss to Cleveland back on 1/29 was the only blemish in what has been quite the run since the middle of January. In fact, they’ve only lost 3 games since the beginning of January as they roll in with a ton of momentum. The Clippers are getting contributions all around. They put up 136 in a win over the Pistons that saw 7 players scoring double figures. That’s been the theme for LA during this hot stretch as they’ve figured things out. They’re getting so many different players to step up every night. They matchup well with the Heat, who only average 110.4 ppg. They don’t have the firepower to keep up with this Clippers unit. The Heat have just floated around a .500 team this year and aside from Butler, they’re just struggling to get consistency. They will struggle with the scorers the Clippers have and will get overwhelmed with the flurries that the Clips can come at teams with. There’s good value at this number. Trends, LAC 6-2 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, 8-2 ATS L10 vs. MIA, 7-3 SU L10 vs. MIA, and 6-0 ATS L6 vs. MIA in MIA. Heat are 2-7 ATS L9, 2-7 SU L9, and 3-8 ATS L11 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON!

Iowa State +4.5 The Cyclones have the value here as they look for another marquee win. This time, they take on a Baylor team that has had its issues as of late. Baylor does come in off a win, but that comes on the heels of a 3 game losing streak. The Bears issues have stemmed on both ends of the floor and now they have to deal with such a physical team here. Iowa State has the clear advantage on both ends of the floor and they come in with a lot of steam. They’ve won 3 straight which includes wins over #19 TCU and #7 Kansas. Overall, Iowa State is averaging 80.5 ppg offensively. They are one of the best at working the inside out game as they shoot over 48% from the field. Defensively, they really put together some tough possessions for the opposition. Allowing just 61.8 ppg, the Cyclones force turnovers and it produces them getting some easy buckets the other way. Baylor has been sloppy lately and they will struggle with this high pressured defense. Iowa State has been the better of the two teams as of late and we’re getting good value here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-03-24 | Warriors +2.5 v. Hawks | 134-141 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Warriors +2.5 Tonight at 7:40pm ET the Warriors (21-24, 23-22 ATS, 8-11 AWAY) take on the Hawks (21-27, 13-35 ATS, 11-13 HOME) in NBA betting action at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. GSW opened a 5-game trip with a 121-101 win at Memphis on Friday. Curry had 25, Kuminga 25, and Thompson 24 for GSW. Atlanta got a W last game out too, 129-120 home win over the Suns Friday. The Hawks claim the NBA's #3 spot in scoring with 120.8 PPG, while the Warriors rank #21 in points allowed, giving up 118.4 PPG. Golden State stands seventh in scoring (118.6 PPG), whereas Atlanta's defense ranks 29th, allowing 123.2 PPG. Golden State is starting to figure things out. The Warriors are finally back at full health and they’re getting contributions from everyone. Draymond Green makes this team better and he’s got his head on right and it’s helped them start to roll. The latest was a win over Memphis, a game we back the Warriors in. Golden State put up 121 as this offense has found its rhythm. Curry, Thompson, and Green are continuing to put up impressive numbers, but it’s really been the supporting cast that has picked things up. This time, it was Kuminga, who put up 29 points in the win. That’s the key for the Warriors as they need to get the supporting cast to help. They matchup well with the Hawks as they can match the pace Atlanta plays with. Golden State is one of the quickest teams in the NBA and can put together some quick buckets for themselves. Defensively, they’re getting some stops as well, as they held Memphis to just 101 points. Look for them to make some timely stops and force turnover in this matchup. Warriors will be too much for ATL tonight. I'm grabbing the points with the road dog. Trends, GSW 4-1 ATS L5, 12-5 SU L17 vs. ATL, and 8-3 ATS L11 vs. EAST teams. ATL 2-5 ATS L7, 5-15 ATS L20 at home, 0-5 SU L5 SAT games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-03-24 | Houston v. Kansas +1.5 | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
Kansas +1.5 It’s certainly rare to get Kansas as an underdog at home. There’s a lot of value on this side in Saturday. Kansas bounced back in a big way following the loss at Iowa State with a dominant performance over Oklahoma State. Now, they have a chance to grab a signature win over a top 5 team. This game is going to be an absolute grind, as are all of Houston’s games. They have the best defense in the country, but Kansas is the kind of team that can throw them off their game. The Jayhawks average nearly 80 ppg and they can really overwhelm opposing defenses. While the task is tall against a defense like this, the Jayhawks can use their tempo to throw Houston off. The Cougars like to play slow and they’ve had some issues with quick paced teams. Kansas also is overlooked a bit defensively at times. This team only gives up 67.6 ppg themselves which is right near the top of the conference. Kansas has the weapons to go toe to toe with Houston on both ends of the floor. Combine that with the home court advantage here and there is a lot of value with Kansas. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-02-24 | Warriors -8 v. Grizzlies | 121-101 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Golden State -8 (20-24, 22-22 ATS, 7-11 AWAY) Warriors take on the (18-30, 23-25 ATS, 5-17 HOME) Grizzlies tonight. We backed Memphis last night and they covered in a loss to Cleveland. We’re now on the Warriors here who come in a good situational spot against the Grizzlies. Memphis is already short because of injuries they’ve battled with and now on a back to back, things will get even tougher for them. Combine that with a confident Warriors team coming into play and this is going to be incredibly difficult for the Grizzlies. Golden State took it to the 76ers in their latest outing as the Warriors are healthy and able to get contributions all around. Draymond Green returning is a huge boost for this side, as he provides productivity at both ends of the floor. He’s going to be the difference maker for this Warriors team moving forward. Combine him with the shooters this team has and it’ll come back together for Golden State quickly. They matchup well with Memphis who is young. We saw at times on Thursday they’ve struggled to find consistency. Golden State should be able to overwhelm them with their complement of shooters and ability to win the battle in the paint. Golden State’s offense is coming around, as they’ve scored 119 or more points in 4 straight games. They have a nice edge and will have the Grizzlies frustrated all night. Trends, GS are 5-2 ATS in their L7. The Grizz are 3-7 L10 vs. PAC Div, and 3-9 SU L12 on Friday's. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-02-24 | Magic +6.5 v. Wolves | 108-106 | Win | 100 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
Magic +6.5 The Magic (25-23, 31-17 ATS, 10-16 AWAY) take on the Timberwolves (34-14, 24-23-1 ATS, 18-4 HOME) tonight. The line has moved from the Wolves +8.5, but I'm still a fan. Orlando dominates ATS this season, at 31-17, while Minnesota is 25-23. In recent clashes, Orlando excels against Minnesota, boasting a 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS record in the last 10 meetings. Wolves going for 3 in a row. Magic looking for revenge and I enjoy betting on teams that seek it. Under Mosley's leadership, the Magic have achieved a decent 65-47 ATS record when facing opponents they previously lost to in a h2h matchup, including a 10-6 performance ATS in the 2023/24 season. Magic going for b2b wins as they won 108-98 WED vs. the Spurs. Banchero led the team in scoring in that one (25 PTS) Wagner had (20 PTS). Minnesota won the first matchup 113-92 on 1/9/24 in Orlando. Magic are finally healthy and have all their weapons back in the fold. Harris is probable tonight for ORL, and this is a Jalen Suggs homecoming game, so I'm expecting a fired up Magic team to take the court for their teammate. The Magic are a confident team, and this is a BIG GAME on their calendar. They're healthy and will have all guns on deck. I think they'll do enough to cover this one, and maybe steal a W outright. Trends, the Magic are 6-3 ATS L9, 13-7 ATS L20 vs. MIN, 7-3 SU L10 vs. MIN, and 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 13-3 ATS L16 on the road vs. Minni. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Ohio State +5.5 OST (12-8, 6-14 ATS, 0-5 AWAY) takes on the Iowa Hawkeyes (12-9, 9-12 ATS, 8-3 HOME) tonight. The Buckeyes need to get back on track and do it quickly here if they hope to crash the NCAA Tournament. Sitting at 13-8, they have dropped 6 of their 7 overall and if this continues, things could get ugly when March arrives. This is a good matchup for them here at Iowa. The Hawkeyes have their own problems they’re currently dealing with. Iowa comes in losing 3 of their last 4 and this team just hasn’t had any sort of consistency. If their offense is on one night, the defense will let them down. If the defense is getting stops, the offense is not hitting their shots. That’s been the theme for them this year and they’re struggling right now. Iowa comes in one of the worst in the conference on the defensive end, allowing nearly 78 ppg. They have struggled with allowing multiple chances per possession and Ohio State will look to crash the boards. They’ve also scored 70 points or less in the 3 losses during this stretch as they can’t seem to get their rhythm going. Ohio State is an aggressive team and that’ll be an advantage in this matchup. We’re getting the team with the edge and points in this one. You know what to do. Iowa is 4-8 ATS L12 vs. B10. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-01-24 | Oregon -2.5 v. USC | 78-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Oregon -2.5 Oregon (14-6, 12-8 ATS) vs. USC (8-12, 9-11 ATS). We’re on the Ducks here, laying the points on the road. This is a fade of a USC team that has struggled this season as a whole and lately things have looked very bleak for them. The Trojans have dropped 5 straight games and they come in after getting knocked around by UCLA on Saturday. We actually backed the Bruins in that game and UCLA held the Trojans to just 50 points. USC has been far too inconsistent to trust and they haven’t scored over 67 points in any of these 5 losses. The Ducks are going to swarm them defensively and really put an emphasis on not allowing the Trojans to get any second chances. The inconsistent shooting by USC is going to be too much to overcome against a Ducks team that loves to get out and run. Oregon averages over 78 PPG and they have playmakers that can hurt the opposition from inside and out. The Ducks can impose their will inside and really open up shooting lanes for their outside threats. They’re the better team and they can continue their trek toward the top of the PAC-12 standings here with a road win. UO 10-5 ATS L15, 10-4 SU L14, 13-7 SU L20 vs. USC, 6-2 ATS L8 on the road vs. USC. SC 0-5 SU L5, 1-5 SU L6 vs. Pac 12 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Memphis +7.5 (29-16, 24-19-2 ATS, 12-8 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs visit the (18-29, 22-25 ATS, 5-16 HOME) Memphis Grizz tonight. We’re on the Grizzlies, grabbing points here on Thursday. Cleveland comes in red hot and we’re not overlooking that. However, this is a situational spot where they may catch some fatigue and overlook the Grizzlies. The Cavs ended up having a hard fought game against the Pistons last night in Cleveland and then immediately jumped on a plane to Memphis. This kicks off a quick two game road swing where they head to San Antonio on Saturday. This is the kind of let down spot and Memphis is going to put a lot of pressure on them. Jaren Jackson Jr. will be the difference maker here. He’s averaging nearly 22 ppg and he’s been the one stepping up all season long for Memphis. His last three games he’s put up 30, 25, and 22 points and he’ll be the spark for this Grizzlies side. Look for Memphis to really slow things down given how the Cavs like to play fast. They can get them out of rhythm and force some tough shots for them. Memphis will turn this into a grind it out game and should be able to keep it close. Trends, Grizz are 5-0 ATS L5, 4-1 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams, and 15-4 SU L19 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-31-24 | Arkansas v. Missouri -5.5 | 91-84 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Missouri -6 8:30pm ET from Mizzou Arena it's the Razorbacks (10-10, 5-15 ATS) taking on the Tigers (8-12, 5-14-1 ATS). We’re on Mizzou, laying the points in this one. Missouri has the edge in this matchup as Arkansas is dealing with a lot of adversity right now. The Razorbacks have dropped 3 straight and 6 of their last 7 as this team simply doesn’t look good. They also are now at the center of the rumor mill with head coach Eric Musselman potentially looking to leave Arkansas after many successful seasons. Things look bleak and the distractions here aren’t going to be helpful for a team reeling right now. Missouri has to get themselves back on track too. Second year head coach Dennis Gates saw his team fall short on Saturday in South Carolina, but there were a few things to build off of. The Tigers are right there in most games and they just need to get over the hump. Their issues stem from finding consistency on the offensive side. The good thing for them in this one is that Arkansas allows nearly 77 ppg. The Tigers hold be able to find some rhythm early in this one and put together some good shots offensively. This is the kind of game that they can turn things around. Arkansas has issues on and off the court and they can use that to their advantage on Wednesday. Trends, ARK are 1-6 ATS L7, 1-6 SU L7, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. Plus they're 1-7 ATS L8 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Rockets +1.5 Wednesday night 8:10pm ET Pelicans (26-21, 26-20-1 ATS, 12-11 AWAY) vs. Houston (22-24, 24-20-2 ATS, 17-8 HOME). Just one NBA play today. I actually don't really like this card. Zion is questionable tonight, I'm betting on him not playing. The Pelicans are the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 26-21 record in their first 47 games. They are in the middle of a three-game losing streak and are 4-6 over their last ten games. Last game out in the Rockets' 135-119 W over the Lakers Monday, Jalen Green paired a career-high 12 boards with a game-high 34 pts. He's clearly up'd his game, and is looking great of late. Him pounding the glass is creating a ton of second chance points for the Rockets. Houston can get out and run with the best of them too, scoring 29 fast break pts vs. the LAL. NOP are on the road for 8 of 9 here. They lost to Boston last game out 118-112 Monday. Trends, New Orleans are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, 5-12 L17 on the road vs. HOU, and 2-4 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams. Houston are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games, and are 5-0 ATS in their L5 vs. Southwest teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

KState -2.5 Tonight at 8pm ET from the Bramlage Coliseum we get OU (15-5, 11-9 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) vs. KState (14-6, 10-10 ATS, 10-1 HOME). We’re on the Wildcats here, laying the points. Kansas State is showing they are much better at home than on the road. The Wildcats dropped back to back games away, but now they return home with a chance to add another leg win to their resume. The Wildcats have won 5 straight at home, which includes a nice win over number 9 Baylor in this building. They’ve leaned on their defense, holding the opposition under 70 points in every win during this home winning streak. The Cats only give up 68.2 ppg and they welcome in a reeling Oklahoma team. The Sooners have dropped back to back games, both at home to Texas and Texas Tech. They struggled slowing both teams down and they’re going to have issues with such a physical Kansas State team in this matchup. The Cats are going to impose their will in the paint and look to make this a very physical contest. This has the makings of a game where they wear Oklahoma down and the Sooners’ struggles continue. Trends, OU are 3-7 ATS L10, 3-7 ATS L10 vs. KState, and 2-9 SU L11 on the road. KST are 14-5 SU L19, 14-1 SU L15 at home, and 10-1 L11 at home vs. OU. You know what to do. Hop ON!

Knicks -4.5 7:40pm ET Tuesday night from MSG the Jazz (24-24, 29-19 ATS, 9-18 AWAY) take on the Knicks (30-17, 28-18-1 ATS, 16-5 HOME). We’re on the Knicks here, laying the points at home. Situationally, this one makes a lot of sense on the home side. The Jazz are in the final game of what has been now a 6 game road swing. They have gone 2-3 and come in after allowing 147 points to Brooklyn last time out. They’re catching the Knicks, who are simply playing their best basketball right now. New York has rattled off 7 straight wins and they’re doing it with so many different things. One thing to note is this defense. They haven’t allowed over 110 points during this winning streak and this season they’re averaging just 109.4 ppg against. This team plays with a ton of high pressure and they aren’t shy about being aggressive on the defensive end. It’s resulted in a lot of success as they are forcing turnovers and not allowing many second chances at the rim. They’re going to overwhelm a Jazz team who are looking forward to going home after a long trip. This makes sense in many different ways and the edge sits with the home side. Trends, Utah are 4-14 ATS in their L18 on the road vs. NY. New York are 5-0 ATS in L5, 7-0 SU L7, 5-0 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Nuggets -3.5 Bucks (32-14, 18-28 ATS) take on the Nuggets (32-15, 19-26-2 ATS) tonight in a great NBA Monday matchup. Denver is going to see a new look Bucks team here on Monday night. Milwaukee will welcome in Doc Rivers for the debut of the coaching switch, which has been questioned by a lot of people entering play. The Bucks split with the Cavs on their back to back home swing and then took down the Pelicans in dominant fashion. This, however, is not the matchup they want with all the attention on the coaching change. Denver is such a tough team to beat in general, but it gets way harder when they're at home as well. The Nuggets are fresh off a win over the 76ers and they matchup so well with the Bucks. Milwaukee's offense will struggle mightily to get things going against a Nuggets defense that averages just 111.0 ppg. That number is impressive given the way Denver likes to run as they will not allow anything easy in transition. There's going to be so many distractions here and with the Bucks Antetokounmpo battling an illness, he likely won't be at 100% in this game. All the signs and edges lean the Nuggets way and they're going to look to make a statement here against a top team in the league. Trends, Bucks 3-11 ATS L14, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. DVR, 7-13 SU L20 vs. DVR, and 0-6 ATS L6 on the road. DVR are 4-1 SU L5, 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 5-0 SU L5 vs. CENTRAL div. teams. You know what to do.

01-29-24 | Pelicans v. Celtics UNDER 236 | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
UNDER 236 Monday 7:30pm ET from the TD Garden in Boston, MA it's the New Orleans Pelicans (26-20, 25-20-1 ATS) taking on the Celtics (35-11, 23-21-2 ATS). We’re on the Under in a game that should be much more of a battle defensively than oddsmakers are making it out to seem. This is a high total, but these two defenses shouldn’t necessarily be overlooked. Boston comes in allowing just 110.7 ppg. They’ve been able to really step up sometimes defensively and they’re one of the best teams when it comes to not allowing 2nd chances for the opposition. They fell to the Clippers in an ugly game last time out and also will have the 2nd leg of a back to back looming tomorrow. This all plays into the cards of them playing slower and looking to put an emphasis on the defensive end. The Pelicans will try to run at times, but Boston is one of the best in the league at knocking teams out of their rhythm. New Orleans is right there defensively, allowing just 113 ppg themselves. While they were torched last time out, don’t overlook them as they’ve been able to still neutralize opposing teams at times with their pressure. Boston is a little shaky right now after that loss and they’re going to look to work things around knowing how New Orleans likes to play. This has the makings of a slower tempo game with both teams putting closing out on shooters well. This is a high number and there’s value with this game seeing some difficult shots both ways. Trends, the Under is 5-0 in BOS L5 when their opponent scores 100+ in previous game, it's also 5-0 in BOS L5 playing on 1 days rest, and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Boston's L7, 4 of BOS L5 vs. NOP, and all of BOS L5 vs. WESTERN teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
01-29-24 | Jazz v. Nets | 114-147 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Jazz PK (-110) Monday night 7:40pm ET in Brooklyn we get the Jazz (24-23, 9-17 AWAY, 29-18 ATS) taking on the Nets 18-27, 11-12 HOME, 21-22-2 ATS). The Nets are slight 1-point favorites against the Jazz, with a game total set at 233.5 points. Brooklyn has faced recent struggles, posting a 5-17 record in their last 22 since Dec. 14 and going 3-12 in their most recent 15 outings. They showed resilience with a hard-fought 106-104 victory against the Rockets Saturday. The return of Simmons is anticipated, albeit with restricted playing time, as he has been sidelined since Nov. 6 after participating in 48 games following his acquisition from the 76ers in exchange for Harden. Tonight Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith for the Nets remain (?). On the other side, the Jazz have been in fine form, boasting a 17-7 record over their last 24 and securing a convincing 134-122 W over Charlotte Saturday. Utah previously outclassed Brooklyn with a commanding 17-point home W on Dec. 18. The Nets rank 20th in the league in scoring, averaging 113.3 PPG, while the Jazz's defense ranks 23rd, allowing 119.3 PPG. Utah ranks 11th in scoring with 117.9 PPG, while Brooklyn's defense ranks 16th, conceding 114.9 PPG. Overall, the Jazz hold the 15th spot in offensive rating and the 22nd spot in defensive rating. Jazz are 8-1 vs. teams with losing records, and the Nets have lost their 5/7 last home games. You know what to do. My model has the Jazz winning by 4-7 in this one, too much confidence, too many shooters, and the Jazz know how to take care of teams not playing up to their level. They'll pull away in this one in the second half. Trends, Jazz are 9-2 ATS L11, 14-5 SU L19, 13-6 L19 vs. NETS, 5-1 L6 ATS on the road, and 6-3 ATS L9 on the road vs. Nets. Brooklyn are 4-15-1 ATS in their L20, and are 3-12 SU L15, and 3-11 ATS L14 vs. WEST teams. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA PK Play | |||||||

Duke -3 Monday night at 7pm ET from Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, VA, we get the Duke Blue Devils (15-4, 9-9-1 ATS) taking on the Virginia Tech Hokies (13-7, 10-10 ATS). The last time these two met up was 2/25/23 an 81-65 Duke win at Cameron. Duke has value here laying the small number on the road. Duke has been an interesting team this season. They keep finding ways to win and they’re doing it in many different ways. The latest was a last second foul call against Clemson at home on Saturday. They’re such a tough team to crack overall and they matchup so well with the Hokies. Duke comes in averaging 81.2 ppg. This offense is so threatening both inside and out. We’ve seen them go on runs where they will dominate the paint, which opens up a ton of shooting lanes. While their offense gets most of the attention, this Duke team has really put the clamps down defensively too. They come in allowing just 67.2 ppg, which is one of the best in the conference and top tier in the nation. That’s where the edge sits with them on Monday. Virginia Tech only scores 74.7 ppg themselves on average. Duke is going to frustrate the Hokies all night long in this matchup. The Blue Devils ability to close out on shooters will give nothing easy to Va Tech. We’re going to see Duke force a lot of tough shots and produce turnovers. They love to get out and run and their transition game here will be too much for Virginia Tech to deal with. Trends, Duke are 10-1 SU in L11, are 14-6 SU L20 vs. VT, are 15-2 SU in their L17 vs. ACC Teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Over 153.5 10pm ET from The Pit, in Albuquerque, New Mexico we have late night college hoops action pins Nevada (16-4, 12-8 ATS) and New Mexico (17-3, 14-5 ATS) in what should be a solid battle. Both teams sit near the top of the conference standings and we should see plenty of fireworks in this one. Looking at Nevada first, they come in with a ton of success already. They sit at 16 wins and they’ve done it at times with their ability to attack the rim. Overall, they average 77 ppg, and they’re starting to pick the tempo up over the last couple of games. They shoot at a 47.5% clip from the field and they are going to play at a much faster pace on Sunday night to keep up with this New Mexico team. The Lobos have averaged 84.2 ppg and sit number 25 in the nation. This team is no joke and they don’t get much recognition considering they play out west and late night. The Lobos come in on a 4 game winning streak in which they’ve scored 88, 99, 85, and 95 all in regulation. The pace they play at is so quick and they’re going turn this into a track meet. Look for plenty of action here and for this game to be back and forth all night. Nevada has the talent to score with New Mexico and we should have a close game throughout. Trends, total has gone OVER in 6 of Nevada's L7 when playing on the road against NMEX. On the other side, the total has gone OVER in 5 of NMEX's L5, and 6 of their L6 vs. MWC teams.

Bulls -6.5 9pm ET from the Moda Center in Portland. Final game of the night tonight and the Blazers (13-32, ATS) get the Bulls (21-25, ATS) in PDX. Season series is 0-0 this is their first matchup. Bulls won both meetings last season. Blazers lost last game out 116-100 to the Spurs, failing to cover as a 5-pt road dog. The Bulls lost to the Lakers as they continue their west-coast road swing here. 141-132. Bulls are 3-1 ATS L4 and have won 6 of their L10. On the defensive side of the ball, Chicago has given up 112.7 PPG, (12th). Over their L5 their offense is avg. 115.4 PPG they score 111 PPG (26th). They are shooting 46% and 35% from 3. This may be a scary game to handicap for most "experts" out there because of the 2 teams' injury report and the way the NBA prioritizes injury news (Sarcasm), but I'm all over the Bulls tonight. Injury report (as best as we can tell), OUT LaVine, Ball, Craig, and P. Williams for CHI, for PDX, Grant, Brogdon, Simons, Walker, Henderson are all (?), with a good chance a couple of them are OUT tonight, as I think there's some trades a brewing in Portland, Sharpe is OUT. Portland has scored 110 PPG or less in 4 of L6. Trends, Bulls 5-2 ATS L7 vs. PDX, and 4-1 ATS L5 Sunday games. PDX are 4-10 SU L14, 3-7 SU L10 in JAN. Don't overthink this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-28-24 | Lions v. 49ers -7 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 35 m | Show |
49ers -7 The Detroit Lions (12-5, 6-3 AWAY, 13-6 ATS, 7-2 ATS AWAY) will play against the San Francisco 49ers (12-5, 6-2 HOME, 9-9 ATS, 3-6 ATS HOME) in the 2024 NFC Championship Game on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The game is set to start at 6:30pm ET. Opening betting lines have Detroit +6.5 and San Francisco -6.5. Moneyline odds of Detroit +245 and San Francisco -311. The total points expected in the game is set at over/under 51. We're on the 49ers in this one. They hold the value for me, and I think the 49ers can and will win this by 9+. Fact...teams with the #1 seed have won 34 out of 48 conference championship games since the NFL playoffs began in 1975. It's really hard to go on the road in this matchup, and the proof is in the puddin'. The Lions beat Tampa Bay 31-23 last week in the Divisional round, and now they're in their second-ever Conference Championship. The 49ers defeated the Packers 24-21. McCaffrey scored a 2nd TD to win the game with 1:07 left. The 49ers lead the historical series 39-28-1, vs. DTown, with a postseason record of 1-1. Recently, the 49ers have been stronger, winning 11 of their last 12 matchups since 1996. Last time these two played was 9/12/21. A 41-33 SF win in Detroit. (Lions covered the +9.5 in that one) Last season, the Lions and 49ers didn't play against each other. Weather looks to be typical for Santa Clara this time of year. Forecast says it might be 74F with some light winds. Regardless of whether Samuel plays or not on Sunday I have the Niners cruising to victory in this one. Goff will be throwing a ton, as he has in all of DET's losses this year, and that plays right into the strength of this Niners D. That Pass Rush and secondary are elite. It wouldn't surprise me if Goff throws 2+ INT's. If Samuel plays, the Lions will really have their hands full containing Purdy from being the elite game manager he is. Samuel, Aiyuk, Kittle (everyone knows DET isn't great vs. TE's), and oh ya, that CMC guy coming out of the backfield are weapons NO team in the NFL wants to have to contain (Jennings is no slouch either). The Lions have allowed 125+ yards to at least 1 WR in 6 straight games. Sure Lions are great vs. the Run, but the 49ers are so much more than just running the ball with CMC. Expect Purdy in shotgun a ton, gadget plays, play action, and lots of screen passes behind the line to get those 4-6 yard plays on 1st down. Shanahan is greater than Campbell in this one. PFF rated Purdy 95/100 on Play Action this year. Goff, Gibbs and Sun God are great, I'd LOVE them all on my fantasy team, but this isn't the Fantasy Final, this is the NFC championship, and I trust the Niners offense much more than DETROIT. Trends, Lions are 1-11 SU L12 vs. SF, 0-10 SU L10 on the road vs. SF, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. NFC West teams. The 49ers are 8-2 SU L10, 7-1 L8 SU vs. NFC teams, and 13-4 L17 games in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 10* *RARE* NFC Championship ATS Top Play | |||||||
01-28-24 | Lions v. 49ers OVER 51 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 42 h 52 m | Show | |
OVER 51 The Detroit Lions (12-5, 6-3 AWAY, 13-6 ATS, 7-2 ATS AWAY) will play against the San Francisco 49ers (12-5, 6-2 HOME, 9-9 ATS, 3-6 ATS HOME) in the 2024 NFC Championship Game on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The game is set to start at 6:30pm ET. Opening betting lines have the total points expected set at over/under 51. We're on the Over here as the Lions look to continue their historic run against the top seeded 49ers. Injury update: Samuel will play Sunday. The Lions beat Tampa Bay 31-23 last week in the Divisional round, and now they're in their second-ever Conference Championship. The 49ers defeated the Packers 24-21. McCaffrey scored a 2nd TD to win the game with 1:07 left. The 49ers lead the historical series 39-28-1, vs. DTown, with a postseason record of 1-1. Recently, the 49ers have been stronger, winning 11 of their last 12 matchups since 1996. For starters here, the weather is supposed to be great. After dealing with rain in San Fran in the Divisional Round, weather projects show 70 degrees and clear on Sunday evening. The Lions are rolling right now, especially on the offensive end. Overall, this team has averaged 394.8 pass yards per game (3rd) and 2nd in pass yards (258.9 ppg). That has led them to 27.1 ppg this season as they continue to put up big numbers with Goff. He has leaned on his playoff experience, posting performances of 24 and 31 so far. He should find success against the 49ers defense that was picked apart by Jordan Love. The 49ers offense put up 24 against Green Bay and that number should go up with the weather being better and this Lions defense struggling. The Lions allowed Mayfield to throw for 349 yards and 3 touchdowns. Purdy will have a field day with this Detroit secondary. Expect scoring chances both ways here in a back and forth game. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 8 of Detroit's L11, and in 7 of their L9 played on Sunday's. For the 49ers, the total has gone OVER in 7 of their L10 played on a Sunday at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFC Championship O/U Play | |||||||
01-28-24 | Chiefs v. Ravens -3 | 17-10 | Loss | -120 | 148 h 12 m | Show | |
Ravens -3 Kansas City (13-6, 7-2 AWAY, 11-7-1 ATS) is set to face Baltimore (14-4, 7-3 HOME, 12-6 ATS) in the AFC Championship this Sunday. The game will take place at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD, kickoff 3 pm ET, TV on CBS. We’re on the Ravens, laying the points. This will be the Ravens first ever conference title game at home. Opening odds are Moneyline (ML) - Chiefs +140, Ravens -165, and the Ravens are favored by -3.5 ATS. The total Over/Under is set at 45. On one side, we have the Chiefs' formidable run defense contending with Jackson, Edwards, and Hill, while on the other, the Ravens' elite defense faces the challenge of containing Rice and Kelce. These two teams last squared off on September 19, 2021, when the Ravens secured a 36-35 home victory during SNF. Prior to that, Sept. 28, 2020, KC emerged with a win 34-20 as 3.5-point dogs in Baltimore. Baltimore is playing at such a high level right now. Lamar Jackson and company came out with a purpose in the 2nd half of their Divisional Round game and made a statement over the Texans. Jackson is so tough to stop as he can not only beat you with the passing game, but he’s really utilized his running attack. Against Houston, he rushed for 100 yards on 11 attempts. Kansas City’s defense has had issues with mobile QBs and that will be a huge factor in this game. The Ravens defensively are in another level as well. Overall this season they’ve proven to be just so stingy and they cause so many issues for opposing defenses. They’re going to force Mahomes into some tough passing windows and they won’t allow them to get any sort of push with their offensive line. Baltimore is a complete team and right now, they’re just playing at such a high level. This will be the kind of game where they sustain drives and will be the ones to make the bigger plays when needed. In their most recent games, the Chiefs edged out the Bills 27-24 on the road, covering as 2.5-point underdogs. Notably, this marks KC' 6th consecutive appearance in the AFC Championship. As for Baltimore, they defeated the Texans 34-10 at home Saturday, improving Jackson's playoff record to 2-3, and they successfully covered the 10-point home spread. In terms of the all-time series between these teams, KC holds a 7-5 lead. However, it's worth noting that Baltimore had a 30-7 Wild Card win in KC on January 9, 2011. The Ravens come into this one #2 on offense in the NFL (34 PPG), Chiefs #8 (26 PPG). On defense Ravens are #1 in the league (10 PPG allowed), Chiefs are #2 (15 PPG). In the Red Zone the Ravens are #4 80%, Chiefs are #12 40%. Trends, the Ravens are 11-5 ATS L16 on Sunday, and they're 4-1 ATS L5, 7-1 SU L8, 4-1 SU L5 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. AFC teams, and 5-0 SU L5 vs. AFC West teams. Lastly, the Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their L5 games after going for more than 350 total yards in their previous matchup. This line is too nice to pass up. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* AFC Championship ATS Play | |||||||

OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Tarasov (3-4, 3.85 GAA, .881 SV%) vs. DeSmith (7-3-4, 2.65 GAA, 0.909 SV%, 1 SO) Columbus (15-23-9, 6-10-5 AWAY) visits Vancouver (32-11-5, 17-4-2 HOME) Saturday at 10pm ET in NHL hockey action. Hockey night in Canada in Vancouver. The city is buzzing, the team is looking great, and there's one thing this team does, and that's score goals. VAN has 9 players in double digits in goals already this year, and quite honestly, there's not enough ice-time to go round right now for Van City. Even their 4th line scores goals. Vancouver is #2 in GPG at 3.77, CBUS #22 2.95 GPG. CBUS are the 31st best team on D in the NHL, allowing 3.70 GPG. VAN is $2 2.5 GAPG. I expect over 8 goals in this one combined. The last time these two met was 1/15/24 a 4-3 Columbus win in CBUS. Before that 1/27/23 a 5-2 Vancouver win in VAN. If we do get DeSmith in net for VAN in this one (and not Demko) I'll love this play even more. Tarasov got the win last game out vs. CGY, and he's trying to unseat Merzlikins as CBUS' top G. Trends, Over is 9-2-1 in Canucks L12 vs. a team with a winning % below .400, and 8-2 in Canucks L10 Saturday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-27-24 | Golden Knights v. Red Wings -125 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 41 m | Show | |
Red Wings -125 Saturday night in Hockey Town we get the Las Vegas Golden Knights (28-14-6, 10-9-4 AWAY) taking on the Detroit Red Wings (25-18-5, 13-8-4 HOME). I'm not sure if the Lions will win this weekend (you'll have to buy my premium NFC Championship play to find out) but I am sure the Detroit Red Wings are going to feed of the energy in this great sports city and the Golden Knights while not slouches themselves aren't going to be able to match the intensity of the Red Wings on SAT night. Last game out fans at Little Caesars Arena started separate chants of, “Let’s go Lions,” and “Jar-ed Goff, Jar-ed Goff,” You have to love Detroit. Last game out Alex Lyon made 30 saves for his third career shutout, Copp scored his 100th goal and the Wings shut down the Flyers 3-0 on Thursday. I'm expecting more dominance on Saturday. This was a nice bounce back after the 5-4 loss to Dallas earlier in the week. Expect a ton of energy from all 4 Red Wings lines Saturday and I think they'll win this 4-2 or 5-3. Wings are 5th in the NHL in GPG at 3.47. They're also #2 in the NHL at shooting the puck (Shooting % is 12%). Trends, Knights are 1-7 L8 road games, and they're 1-4 L5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||

UCLA +3 Battle of LA time as the UCLA Bruins (8-11, 8-10-1 ATS) take on the USC Trojans (8-11, 9-10 ATS) on Saturday at 8pm ET. The Bruins (8-11, ATS) have value here catching points in their rivalry game with USC.This is a game that usually has a lot of hype, but this year, things are. little different given the struggles of both teams. Injuries have hampered USC, while UCLA has severely under-achieved this season. We're getting the Bruins at the right time though as they are playing some solid basketball finally. The Bruins had back to back to back wins after knocking off Washington and coming from behind against Arizona State before falling to Arizona by just 7. The Bruins are starting to find a little bit of a rhythm themselves. They're getting some timely shots and getting different players to step up. Defense has also been a huge key for them. They're getting stops and not allowing 2nd chance opportunities, which was a huge issue for them this year. The Trojans are battling injuries and while Boogie Ellis is expected to be back, he's still not at 100%. Combine that with them missing a couple other key players and their issues are going to continue in this one. The Trojans are struggling right now, while UCLA is catching some steam. Trends, UCLA are 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the flip side USC are 1-4 SU in their L5, and 2-7 L9 SU vs. PAC 12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

BOS are 1st in the EAST. BOS is 4th in PPG 120 PPG, LAC is 9th 118 PPG, on defense LAC 9th 112 PPG, BOS 4th 110 PPG. Both teams TOP 10 in 3PT FG%, and FT%. Injuries as of Friday, Zubac for LAC, Porzingis for BOS. The last time these two met up was 12/23/23 a 145-108 Celtics win in LA. (Celtics covered the -4.5) Before that 12/29/22 a 116-110 BOS win in Boston. Boston is playing at such a high level right now. They come in after sweeping a 3 game road trip, which included wins over Miami and Dallas in back to back games. They were firing away offensively, putting up performances of 116, 119, and 143 to close the trip out. Boston has covered in 6 of their last 8 games overall and they have all the momentum coming into this matchup. The Celtics rank 4th both in total offense (120.8 ppg) and defense (110.6 ppg) coming into Saturday's matchup. They have the ability to beat teams in so many different ways. Defensively, they rank 3rd in field goal percentage against. They have shown how good they are at closing out on shooters and they use their length to control the paint. They're going to put an emphasis on this here against LA as they know they have to close out on the complement of shooters this team has. Boston offensively also has such a huge edge. They have continued to get contributions from so many different players time and time again. They're overwhelming for the opposition and they're going to pick apart this Clippers defense. Trends, BOS 5-2 ATS L7, 6-1 SU L7, 19-1 SU L20 at home, 10-2 SU L12 vs. WEST teams, and 4-0-1 L5 on Saturday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

JM +2 Saturday at 6pm ET its James Madison (17-2, 12-5-1 ATS) vs Appalachian State (16-4, 11-7 ATS). This is the revenge spot the Dukes have been waiting for. James Madison has just 2 losses on the season, with one of those being against this App State team on their home court. The Dukes are one of the best offensive teams in the entire nation. They come into play on Saturday ranking 10th in the NCAA, putting up 85.5 ppg. They love to get up and down the floor and that has proven to overwhelm teams at times. That should be something they look to do early as they just couldn't get in rhythm in their first matchup earlier this season. James Madison also is going to put a ton of pressure here on the App State shooters. The Dukes are one of the best in the nation at slowing teams 3 point games down. Coming into Saturday, they are allowing the opposition to shoot just 28.6%. App State ranks 94th in total offense and they're catching a James Madison team that is clicking on all cylinders right now. James Madison is the much better team and they're going to come out with a purpose in this one. Trends, JM are 8-3 ATS L11, 17-2 SU L19, 5-2 ATS L7 vs. APPST, and 7-1 ATS L8 on the road. APPST are 3-6 ATS L9 games on Saturday's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Knicks -4 Saturday at MSG it's the Miami Heat (24-21, 19-25 ATS, 12-11 AWAY) taking on the NY Knicks (28-17, 26-18 ATS, 15-5 HOME) Knicks are 4-1 ATS L5, Heat 0-5 ATS L5, and 0-5 SU L5 as well. Last game out the Heat lost 143-110 to Boston. It's hard for me to think they've turned a corner in 48 hours. Miami is scoring just 110 PPG (28th), over L5 averaging 105 PPG. To say OJ Anunoby has been a good deal is an understatement. He's been everything the Knicks were hoping for and more. Knicks are now 4th in the EAST, and last game out they took down the Champs...beating the Nuggets 122-84 in NY. In fact, they thumped them. Anunoby led with 26 (10/18 shooting). Brunson scored 21. Grimes added 19. Randle had 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists. All parts of their offense are working right now. To go along with that tenacious defense. NYK have held 4/5 to 103 or less and noone is scoring over 109 of late. For Miami Rozier hasn't quite meshed with his new team yet, I'm sure he will, but acclimating to a new team takes a few games usually. The Heat aren't there yet, and their spinning the wrong way currently. Injuries we're watching, looks like Jaime Jaquez Jr. is PROB, but likely on a minutes restriction, and Hartenstein is (?) for NY as of 11:45am ET. The Knicks/Heat meet for the 2nd time, Knicks won 100-98 on 11/24/23. Trends, Heat 0-5 ATS L5, 0-5 SU L5, 1-5 SU L6 vs. NY, and 1-6 ATS L7 on a Saturday. On the flip side NYK are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 9-2 SU L11 vs. SOUTHEAST teams, and 4-2 ATS L6 at home. New York ranks among the NBA's top five cover teams, with a 25-18-2 ATS record, including 12-7-1 at MSG. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Nova +1.5 (11-8, 10-9 ATS) Villanova take on (13-7, 9-10 ATS) Butler Saturday at 3pm ET. We're on Villanova here, grabbing the small number. The Wildcats are the better team here. While things haven't gone according to plan for them this season, they still have time to turn this around and it starts here at Butler. The Wildcats have dominated this head to head series overall. Coming into Saturday, they lead the all time series 16-6. They won the most recent matchup 62-50 as they've had a lot of success both at home and at Butler. Villanova has to lean on their defense and they will in this matchup. The Wildcats rank 59th in the entire NCAA, with just 66.5 points against. They are their best when they can turn defense into offense and get out in transition. Butler ranks 119th in the shooting percentage (46%) and they're going to struggle with the high pressure Nova brings. The Wildcats are going to put an emphasis on putting a lot of pressure on. They're going to be taking those missed shots and turnovers from Butler and pushing out in transition. Look for Nova to get back on track here. Trends, Nova are 92-1 ATS L12 vs. Butler, and 9-3 SU L12 vs. Butler. Butler are 2-9 ATS L11, and 0-6 ATS L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

UNDER 238.5 The Bucks (31-13, 17-27 ATS, 20-4 HOME) face the Cavaliers (26-16, 22-18-2 ATS, 11-8 AWAY) at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI on Friday. Game starts at 8 p.m. ET. Bucks lead the series 2-1. It's their 4th meeting this season, just 2 days after the Bucks won 126-116 on Wednesday, snapping a Cavs 8-game win streak. In that game Antetokounmpo had another triple-double (7th) finishing with 35, 18 boards and 10 asst. Lillard & Middleton added 28 and 24. The Bucks haven't won the series since 2020-21, with teams splitting last year and Cleveland winning 3 of 4 the year before. Opening Odds: ML - Cavs +188 | Bucks -225, ATS - Bucks -6 (-108), O/U: 238.5. It’s a weird scheduling quirk that puts teams playing against each other in close days in the same building. After a very fast paced game on Wednesday, we should see a slower tempo game here. Both the Cavs and Milwaukee have played each other 3 times now after tonight this month. The familiarity is a huge edge for the under. These teams know each other extremely well and should be able to put the clamps down defensively. Cleveland got a small dosage of what a Bucks team at full strength looks like too. The Cavs weren’t getting the open looks from behind the arc they’re used to getting and it produced some struggles. Cleveland also knows they’re going to have to step things up defensively after last game. They struggled to stop the speed of Milwaukee and it should result in them playing a much slower game. Expect this one to be a grind, with Milwaukee also having another game tomorrow with the Pelicans coming to town. Bucks are 9-13-1 ATS at home, Cavs 10-8-1 ATS away. Expect a close game. Cavs rank 3rd in defense, 21st in pace. They don't push the tempo. Trends: Milwaukee 2-10 ATS in L12, 17-26-1 ATS this season. Bucks went Under in 5 of L10; Cavs went Under in 4 of L6. Cavs held opponents to 102 or less in 7 of L9. Cavs are 22-20 ATS this season, 5-1 ATS in L6. Also for the Cavs the total has gone UNDER in 6 of their L7 against an opponent in the Central, and we've seen the UNDER hit for the Cavs in their L4 Friday matchups. You know what to do. Hop ON!

These two met back on December 5th 2023, a 70-57 Wisconsin win at MST. This is a different MST team now. MST comes in playing well over their L3, winning all 3, holding opponents to UNDER 60 in 2 of those 3. Michigan State ranks 134th in the country for scoring, averaging 76.2 points per game. They also sit at 173rd nationally in rebounding. Last game out the Spartans knocked off the Terps 61-59, covering as a 1pt road dog. Walker led MST with 15, 5 assists and 5 steals. The Badgers grabbed a 61-59 W over the Gophers. They did NOT cover the -2.5. This season, the Badgers rank 152nd in scoring offense, averaging 75 PPG. They grab 33 RPG. Of late MST has been shooting the ball great. The scorers are getting great looks and they're really distributing the ball well opening up looks for their main guys. Michigan State is shooting 47% from the field and 36% from 3. In their previous clash, Wisconsin held the Spartans to 57 points, with a 45% FG and 31% from 3. They'll need to copy this recipe for success tonight. I don't think it happens. Revenge is a real thing in college hoops, and I'm all over Sparty tonight vs. the Badgers. MST are 7-2-1 ATS L10, 8-2 SU L10, 11-4 SU L15 vs. WISC, and 4-1 SU L5 on the road in Madison. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Suns -4.5 7pm ET from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN its the Phoenix Suns (26-18, 12-7 AWAY, 16-26-2 ATS) taking on the Indiana Pacers (24-21, 13-9 HOME, 24-18-3 ATS). These two played on January 21st. The Suns beat the Pacers, 117-110. Durant put up 40, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks for the Suns. Booker had 26, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Buddy Hield scored 18 points with 4 rebounds for the Pacers, in a losing effort. Suns won the season series last year 2-0. We were on the Suns last game out over the Mavs, and cashed that winning ticket easily. Back to the well with them here in this spot. The Suns have figured things out. After struggling all season long and people talking about how their chemistry is off, Phoenix has seemingly found their groove. They enter winners of 7 in a row and they are doing everything right. The latest was a 132 point performance in a win over the Mavericks and they’re looking to continue this momentum against a Pacers team they beat already during this winning streak. It starts with Durant. He’s been on fire and he’s making everyone around him better. Booker went off against the Mavs, while Beal, Allen, and Nurkic all contributed in a big way along side. They’re sharing the ball better than anyone in the league and they’re getting key shots at the right time. They matchup well with this Pacers team, who has struggled defensively. They’re one of the worst in the league, allowing nearly 123 ppg. Their inability to get stops in transition and the struggles they have closing out on shooters is far too alarming. Given the way the Suns have been playing, they’re going to pick apart this defense even worse than a few games ago. We’re getting a good line on the much better side here. Trends, PHX is 7-0 SU L7, 5-0 SU L5 vs. IND, 5-1 SU L6 on the road, 9-3 ATS L12 on the road vs. IND, and 6-0 SU L6 vs. EAST teams. The Pacers are 2-5 SU L7, and 1-4 L5 SU vs. PACIFIC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Gonzaga -9 9:00pm ET from the McCarthey Athletic Center, in Spokane, WA. The Dons (15-5, 13-6 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) visit the Zags (13-5, 8-9 ATS, 8-1 HOME) tonight. We’re on the Bulldogs here, who have value against San Francisco on Thursday.We’re on the Bulldogs here, who have value against San Francisco on Thursday. San Francisco had a lot of their flaws exposed last time out and they’re going to have another game where things are going to be an absolute struggle. The Dons were throttled by St. Mary’s 77-60 in a game where they stood no chance from the beginning. They struggled shooting the ball (41.2% from the field) and couldn’t get in any sort of rhythm. They’ve struggled against top tier teams and this is going to be another game where they just do not match up well with Gonzaga. The Bulldogs pace is going to be a huge issue for San Francisco. Gonzaga has scored 86 and 105 in their latest two games as they’ve found their groove after the loss to Santa Clara. Gonzaga averages 85.6 ppg and only concedes 68.0. They’re going to put the pressure on early and really force San Francisco into some tough situations on both ends of the floor. The Dons don’t have the speed or physicality to matchup in this game. With the momentum Gonzaga has and the rhythm they’re in, they’re going to be way too much for San Francisco in this one. Trends, SF are 0-10 SU L10 vs. the Zags, are 0-20 vs. the Zags on the road SU L20. The Zags are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 14-1 SU L15 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WCC teams, and are 5-1 ATS L6 in JAN.

01-25-24 | Nuggets v. Knicks UNDER 223.5 | 84-122 | Win | 100 | 1 h 27 m | Show | |
UNDER 223.5 (31-14) Denver Nuggets vs. New York Knicks (27-17) 7:30pm ET from MSG. This one opened at 225.5. Late add here. The more I looked at this line today the more I kept coming back to it. There's nothing that I LOVE on this NBA card today, but I do LIKE this play. I'm going to release it as a 7* O/U Play. New York ranks 3rd in NBA scoring defense, with 15th place in field goal and 3-point defense. Denver, on a 3-1 road trip, won against the Pacers 114-109. The Nuggets are 6th in scoring defense, 10th in field goal, and 13th in 3-point defense. They're 14th in total rebounds per game. Reggie Jackson is probable tonight, and Isaiah Hartenstein is out tonight via Thibodeau. I'm jumping on this line now before it moves any lower before tip. Trends, UNDER has hit for Denver in 4 of the L5, & 5 of Denver's L7 games in JAN. For NY the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L6, 4 of their L6 vs. Denver, and their L5 at home. Plus the UNDER is good the L4 games out of 5 vs. WEST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
01-25-24 | Bruins v. Senators +119 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Senators +119 Probable Goalies: Swayman (15-3-7, 2.31 GAA, 0.923 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Korpisalo (10-15-1, 3.46 GAA, 0.889 SV%) (Both Unconfirmed as of NOON ET) From the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON tonight at 7:07pm ET we get the Boston Bruins (29-9-9, 13-5-6 AWAY) taking on the Ottawa Senators (18-24-1, 12-11-1 HOME). Bruins come in 7th in the NHL scoring 3.44 GPG, Ottawa comes in 9th at 3.39 GPG. On Defense the Bruins are 5th at 2.61 GAA, and OTT is 30th at 3.60 GAA. The last time these two met was 3/21/23, a 2-1 BOS win in Boston. The last time these two met in Ottawa was 12/27/22, a 3-2 OT win for the Sens, they covered as a +169 ML Dog. The Bruins are playing on night 2 of a B2B, losing last night to the Canes 3-2. Marchand scored 2x in the 3rd, but the Canes were the better team on the night. Ottawa will enjoy a day's rest as they aim for their third consecutive victory, following a 4-1 road win against the Habs on Tuesday. In Tuesday's win Korpisalo had 24 saves. He's been in fine form lately, conceding just 5 on 77 shots across his past 3 starts, making him the likely choice as Ottawa's top goaltender until Forsberg returns. During their recent 6-game stretch, Ottawa has performed beyond expectations one would think, recording a 4-1-1 record. They've managed to score 4 or more goals in 5 of those games while conceding 2 or fewer goals on 3 occasions. It seems to me that HC Jacques Martin is back to working his Magic with the Sens, and they're responding to the legend behind the bench. They're at home, and this is a huge matchup for them with regards to keeping this run going. I'm all over the SENS in this one. Trends, OTT are 4-2 SU L6, Sens are 5-1 L6 vs. ATLANTIC teams, and 4-1 L5 SU vs. EAST teams. On the other side the Bruins are 1-6 in their L7 SU in the 4th game of a 4 in 6 situation. Plus they've lost 3/4 as favorites on the 2nd leg of a B2B. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
01-25-24 | Wright State v. Cleveland State +2.5 | 107-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Cleveland State +2.5 7pm ET from the Wolstein Center, in Cleveland, OH. The Wright State Raiders (10-10, 8-11 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) visit the Cleveland State Vikings (11-8, 9-9-1 ATS, 9-0 HOME) tonight. The last time these two met was 1/4/24, a WRST 82-70 win (WRST covered the -6) at home. We’re on the Vikings here tonight however, Cleveland State has the value against Wright State in this one. Cleveland State has value in this rematch against Wright State. This is a revenge spot for the Vikings and they are such a tough team to crack at home. They come in undefeated at home this season and the latest saw them erase a 15 point deficit in the 2nd half to IPFW. The Vikings are built with depth and they get contributions from so many different players time and time again. Still, the key to the game is F Tristan Enaruna. He comes in averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. The team feeds off his energy and he has the ability to take a game over. Defensively, the Vikings are far better at home too. That will be key as they were blown away by Wright State on the road by giving up way too many open shots. The Vikings will put an emphasis on closing out on shooters and not allowing second chances. The Vikings play with far more energy at home and this is a chance for them to get another big conference win, to get themselves right back in the thick of the standings. Trends, WST 4-8 ATS L12, 3-7 ATS L10 vs. CLEST, 2-5 SU L7 games on Thursday's. On the other side, CLEST are 6-3 SU L9, 10-0 SU L10 at home, also, the Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their L5 following an ATS win. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-25-24 | Youngstown State v. IUPU-Indianapolis +14 | 78-50 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
IUPUI +14 7pm ET from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum, in Indianapolis, IN. The Youngstown State Penguins (14-6, 9-7 ATS, 4-5 AWAY) visit the IUPUI Jaguars (6-15, 5-13 ATS, 4-6 HOME) tonight. The last time these two met was 1/7/24, a YST 75-65 win at home. (IUPUI covered the +17 in that one) Last year when these two met it was on 2/25/23. A YST 93-79 win in Indy. We’re on the Jaguars here tonight, IUPUI has the value against Youngstown St. in this one. IUPUI has vastly improved from last season. While the record may not indicate it, they’re much more competitive in games and they’re sticking close with some tough opponents too. They catch a lot of points in this spot and they’re going to give Youngstown State some issues. Looking back at IUPUI’s schedule, they took down IPFW on the road (17 point underdogs) and played the likes of Green Bay, Cleveland State, and even this Youngstown State team close. They also get YSU in a spot where they may be looking ahead. The Penguins have a tough stretch coming up with games against top teams in the Horizon League. This is a case where they may not be 100% focused with the likes of a lower team and come out sluggish. IUPUI has been able to find success when they slow the tempo down and they’ll look to do that here. If they can get the Penguins out of rhythm early, it can lead to some frustrations. This can be a game played in the 60’s-70’s and that’ll favor IUPUI. They can keep this one close throughout. Trends, the Jaguars are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog of +13 or more. Plus recently, Thursday games have been kind to IUPUI. They're 8-3 ATS L11, and 5-1 ATS L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
01-24-24 | Marquette v. DePaul +18 | 86-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
DePaul +18 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Wintrust Arena, in Chicago, IL we get Marquette (13-5, 9-8-1 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) taking on DePaul (3-15, 5-12-1 ATS, 3-8 HOME). We’re backing DePaul here, with the points on Wednesday night. DePaul needed a change and they did just that here entering play on Wednesday. After just a horrid start to the year, they relieved Tony Stubblefield of his duties. Matt Brady will take over on an interim basis and that is actually something that should get this DePaul team up for this game. Marquette may also overlook this matchup a little bit. After having to deal with hard fought games against Villanova and St. John’s, the Eagles will have a tough time getting up for a team that has as bad of a record as DePaul. The Blue Demons need Chico Carter Jr. to get himself going early. The rest of this team seems to feed off his energy and he comes in leading the team in both points and rebounds per game. We’ve seen Marquette flop on the road this season already and I’m not saying DePaul is going to come out of this and win it outright. But with this many points and a new coach, the energy is going to be different and they should come out with some inspired play here to keep this within this large number. These two last met on 2/25/23, a 90-84 Marquette win. DePaul covered the +14.5 in that one. You know what to do here. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
01-24-24 | Suns -2 v. Mavs | 132-109 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
Suns -2 Wednesday in Dallas at 8:40pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX it's the Suns (25-18, 11-7 AWAY, 15-26-2 ATS, 8-9-1 ATS AWAY) taking on the Mavericks (24-19, 11-12 ATS HOME, 23-20 ATS, 13-10 HOME). The Mavs look to bounce back from a 119-110 loss to the Celtics Monday. The Suns have won six in a row. What's not to like right now? Phoenix, led by Kevin Durant's 43 points and Bradley Beal's 18, secured their 11th win in 14 games with a 115-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday. During the streak, the Suns have taken off offensively, averaging 122 PP 100 possessions (#6), and they've improved defensively, rising to 8th in efficiency from 16th. The Big 3 are clicking, and figuring out how to play with each other, and we get the Mavs in this one with injury question marks for all of their guards. Never a good thing on rivalry week. The Suns initially favored by 1.5 points against the Mavericks at Wednesday, now shifted to Suns -2.5. We're going to lock that number in right here. (I like this play from -2 to -2.5). I really like how Phoenix has been playing during their winning streak, they keep this up I'll be running the NBA futures market soon to look at their NBA title odds. I'm expecting their defense to contain the Mavs outside shooters in this one, and I'll lay the points. Phoenix won't be tired yet, but we may look to fade them in 7-10 days as they get towards the end of their longest road trip of the season. All 4 are questionable tonight. Doncic, Exum, Curry, and Irving. Trends, PHX 6-0 SU L6, 4-1 SU L5 on the road, 4-1 L5 vs. WEST teams. The Mavs are 2-4 ATS L6, 2-4 SU L6, 5-10 ATS L15 on Wednesday's at home. You know what to do.

FAU -12 Wednesday from the Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston, TX at 8pm ET we get the FAU Owls (15-4, ATS) taking on the Rice Owls (7-11, ATS). The Owls have value here laying the points against Rice. FAU has had a target on their backs every time they take the floor this season after their Final Four run last year. While they are getting everyone's best, they are still finding ways to win. The latest was an overtime win at UTSA as they put up 112 points in the win. This offense is still as good as ever this season and they're lighting up the scoreboard. Coming into this matchup with Rice, they're averaging 84.1 ppg, which sits in the top tier in the nation. Rice just doesn't have the firepower that FAU has. They come in ranked in the bottom tier of the NCAA, with just 73.4 ppg. They have lost 5 of their last 6 and will get a very fired up FAU team entering play. With some close games as of late, the Owls are going to come out with a purpose here. Expect them to push the tempo on Rice and overwhelm in a game with a clear cut mismatch. Look for a lopsided game here. Trends, FAU 5-1 SU L6, 5-1 SU L6 vs. Rice, 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Rice on the road, and 6-1 SU L7 vs. AAC teams. On the other side Rice is 14-1 ATS L6, 1-5 SU L6, 2-10 SU L12 vs. AAC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

OVER 232.5 Pistons (4-39, 20-23 ATS, 2-20 HOME) take on the Hornets (10-31, 16-25 ATS, 5-17 AWAY) tonight at 7:10pm ET from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. Detroit has 4 wins this season, they've lost their first 3 games on this 6 game homestand, but they're not a complete disaster. One of their recent wins was a 111-99 win on Oct. 27th vs. these Hornets, but I'm expecting a drastically different total than that games 210. Pistons come in off of two really high scoring games. 141-135, and 122-113 losses to the Bucks. The Hornets come in off of a 128-125 win over the TWolves (KAT went off for 61 pts in that one). The Hornets avg. 108 PPG, DET 112 PPG. On defense the Hornets allow 119 PPG (24th) and DET averages 123 PPG (29th). Not exactly good defensive numbers here for either team. Both are bottom half of the league in blocks, steals and rebounding as well. Kyle Lowry should be in the lineup tonight for Charlotte tonight after being dealt from Miami for Terry Rozier. It's possible we get Cade Cunningham back for this game, so check the INJ. reports. Possible Nick Richards misses this one. Expect Duren to really step up tonight. I'm expecting run-n-gun tonight in this one, the number has dropped nicely in our favor, and I'm going to JUMP ON THIS OVER! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Toronto comes home after a long road trip. I'm always looking for teams in the NHL that play their first home game after being away for a long period of time. It's well documented that "this is a thing", and when the odds and stars align I love to jump on this angle, so, I'm backing the Jets on Wednesday in Toronto. Not to mention this is one of those "All Canadian" team matchups, that all these teams seem to get up for. The Jets will be ready. After 4 consecutive games as the backup (2-2-0), Brossoit is set to reclaim his position as the starter Wednesday (He is confirmed), facing off against the Leafs. Brossoit has been exceptional as the Jets' goaltender recently, surrendering only 2 goals or less in 6 consecutive (5-1-0) and he has himself a nice .952 SV% L6. The Jets are also a great team away from home, one of the best in the NHL, and the Leafs are barely above .500 at home. Samsonov earns his second consecutive start vs. the Jets after a 3-1 win over Seattle Kraken, his first victory in his L6. He saved 16/17. Trends, Jets 10-2 SU L12, 11-3 L14 vs. EAST teams, and 4-1 SU vs. ATLANTIC div teams. Leafs are 2-5 SU L7, and they're 1-5 SU L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Houston -2.5 9pm ET from the Marriot Center in Provo, UT, we get Houston (16-2, ATS) taking on BYU (14-4, ATS) on Tuesday night. The Cougars are the move here on Tuesday night. Houston has to prove to themselves if anything here that they can get a win on the road against a top 25 team in the conference. They’ve had zero issues at home, but they’ve dropped their last two road games and now get a chance at number 21 BYU. They matchup very well with this Cougars team, giving them good value. Houston held Texas Tech to 54 points and then held a UCF team that just beat Kansas to only 42 points in back to back wins coming into play. The Cougars are at their best when they can impose that dominant defense and they’re going to do that to BYU. The Cougars have gone just 2-3 in their last 5 games and they are struggling to find consistency. Houston is going to frustrate them offensively as the Cougars play with such high pressure. They close out better than anyone and they rarely allow 2nd chances. This is a game where Houston is going to slow things down and take BYU out of rhythm. They have an edge on both ends of the floor and we’re getting a good line here. Trends, BYU are 14-4 SU in their L18, and they're 11-1 SU L12 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
01-23-24 | Blazers v. Thunder -13 | 109-111 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
OKC -13 8pm ET on Tuesday night from OKC the Portland Trail Blazers (12-30, 5-18 AWAY, 19-23 ATS) are in town to take on the Thunder (29-13, 16-5 HOME, 28-14 ATS). PDX allows 117 PPG (19th), OKC allows 113 PPG (14th). Scoring PDX is 30th (107.5 PPG), and OKC is #3 (121 PPG). I'm all over OKC in this matchup on Tuesday night. The last time these two met was a 139-77 OKC win in OKC on 1/11/24. OKC recently secured a 102-97 W against the West-leading Timberwolves Saturday. Following their win over PDX on 1/11, the Thunder have won 3 of their last 5, with their most recent two being W's. The Blazers lost 134-110 to the Lakers Sunday, and their average deficit against Oklahoma City over two matchups is 52 PPG. The Thunder have the edge in every which way you look at this matchup. Oklahoma City has the mental edge for starters. Just weeks ago, we saw the Thunder make history vs. PDX. The Thunder have played well since then and Portland has headed in the opposite direction. Oklahoma City is led by SGA, who has put up 31.1 ppg, 6.3 apg, and 5.6 rpg. He’s been the one who has got this team going and he has scored over 30 points in back to back games. Look for him to lead the charge as this Thunder offense is going to overwhelm the Trail Blazers with their speed. Portland has allowed the opposition to shoot at nearly a 50% clip on average this season. They allow so many easy looks at the rim and they don’t close out on shooters well. Given how well Oklahoma City can shoot it and share the ball, Portland will find their defense scrambling. This is going to be another lopsided matchup and the Thunder will keep their foot on the gas throughout. Trends, OKC 6-2 SU L8, 6-0 ATS L6 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 at home vs. PDX, and 8-3 SU L11 vs. WEST teams. On the other side PDX are 3-8 SU L11, 1-9 ATS L10 vs. OKC, and lastly they're 1-11 SU L12 on the road. OKC are obviously a top team in the WEST, and I just don't see how PDX causes them any trouble tonight at home. Too many weapons, too much rim protection, and a deep bench. I'm on OKC. You know what to do. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

The Vegas Golden Knights (27-14-5, 9-9-3 AWAY) playing the second night of a B2B take on the NY Islanders (20-15-11, 12-5-6 HOME) Tuesday night in Long Island NY at the UBS Arena. Both teams come in bottom 15 in goals scored, LV (16th, 3.1 GPG), NYI (24th 2.9 GPG). Vegas is the better defensive team (6th, 2.6 GAPG) NYI (24th, 3.32 GAPG). Hill is 3-2 SU L5, and Sorokin is 1-4 SU L5. The two most recent matchups between these two have been split 1-1. A 5-2 LV win 1/6/24 in LV, and on 1/28/23 a 2-1 NYI win in NY. I'm backing the home team in this one. LV who are about to start their game vs. New Jersey as I write this have not impressed me at all on the road. The Islanders have been tough to beat on home ice all season long, and they come into this one off a nice win last game out. Sorokin's stellar performance on Sunday saw him stop 41 of 43 shots, leading his team to a 3-2 OT W against the Stars. He showcased his excellence by only allowing 2 second-period goals, all while achieving over 40 saves for the 5th time on the season. The Isles snapped their 4-game losing streak. Trends, LVGK are 0-6 L6 road games, and 0-4 L4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
01-23-24 | Knicks v. Nets +4.5 | 108-103 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Nets +4.5 New York has won 3 in a row (26-17, 12-12 AWAY, 24-18-1 ATS), and they want to continue their winning streak. They play Brooklyn (17-25, 10-10 HOME, 20-20-2 ATS) at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. You can watch this game on TNT. The initial odds favor the Knicks by 4, and the total is 225. The Knicks are the 16th-best scoring team in the NBA, averaging 115.2 PPG, and they also have the 3rd-best defense, allowing 110.6 PPG. On the other hand, the Nets are ranked 17th in the league for points allowed, giving up 115.8 PPG, and they have the 19th-best offense, scoring an average of 114.2 PPG. It's been rough sleddin' for the Nets vs. NYK of late. The Knicks took out Brooklyn 121-102 in their last matchup on 12/20/23 and have won the past 3 vs. the Nets by a combined 61 pts. NY won last game out vs. Toronto on Saturday vs. the Raptors 126-100. The Nets lost their last game out, allowing the final 22 points of the game to lose to the Clippers 125-114. A crazy ending to be honest. They won the game before 130-112 over the Lakers. I think Tuesday night will see a close game between these two NY teams. They know each other well, and both are playing 1/2 way decent ball right now. Both are top 5 rebounding teams, so we'll have to look elsewhere for advantages because I think they'll cross each other off in the paint. One area I'm looking at is the # of FG's attempted per game. The Nets are 4th, they really shoot the ball a ton, and get after it. They also attempt the 7th most 3-pointers per game. NY's #3 defense will be tested in this one. As will their depth. One positive for Brooklyn is over the last 5 games they've really stepped things up on the defensive side of the ball. Monitor Hartenstein's injury status for this one. He could miss this game with ankle soreness. Ben Simmons is still OUT for Brooklyn. Trends, NY are 3-9 SU L12 vs. Brooklyn, and they're 1-6 SU L7 on the road vs. the Nets. The Nets will get up for this game and they'll play NY tough on Tuesday night. Grab the +4.5 with the Nets. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

The rich got richer this week when UK got the green light from the NCAA to play Zvonimir Ivisic (7'2" Croatian Center). He played his first game on Saturday with the Cats, and tonight after a good practice session UK will try to utilize his strengths against the Cocks. (He had 13 pts in 16 minutes on Saturday) Kentucky secured a 105-96 victory against Georgia on Saturday but failed to cover as a 13.5-point favorite. South Carolina, a 2.5-point underdog, won 77-64 against Arkansas on the same day while covering the spread. Kentucky brings in one of the most talented teams in the nation and they have value on Tuesday. The Wildcats are built with such depth and we saw that in their latest game as they took down Georgia with a 105 point performance. This offense may be the best in the nation. Right now, they are averaging 91.6 ppg and they’ve scored under 80 points just once all season. They play with such speed and it’s a compliment of guys who can score in flurries. They had 5 players scoring in double figures against Georgia and they should find plenty of success once again here in South Carolina. This is going to be a case where South Carolina is just not built with enough firepower. While they’re off to a good start, they’ve sputtered in their start to SEC play at times. They’re only averaging 72.9 ppg which isn’t necessarily bad but it won’t be enough to compete with the Wildcats offense. Expect Kentucky to dictate the pace and put a ton of pressure on SC. This will be an overwhelming situation for the Gamecocks, who will struggle keeping up. This is a low number on just the better team. Trends, UK 7-2 ATS L9, 8-1 SU L9, 13-4 SU L17 vs. SC, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. SEC teams. On the other side SC are 1-7 ATS L8 games on a Tuesday at home, and 3-8 SU L11 in January. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
01-22-24 | Weber State v. Montana -1 | 62-77 | Win | 100 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
Montana -1 Monday the Montana Grizzlies (12-6, 3-2 Big Sky, 7-2 HOME, 11-4 ATS) will host the Weber State Wildcats (12-7, 3-3 Big Sky, 3-4 AWAY, 8-8 ATS) at Dahlberg Arena, in Missoula, Montana, with the game starting at 9pm ET. The Grizzlies are the favored team by 1.5 points, and the over/under opened at 145.5. Montana has value here at home on Monday night. The Grizzlies come in the hotter team right now. Fresh off a road win over their rivals Montana State, they have now won 5 of their last 6 with the loss coming in overtime. During this stretch, they’ve scored under 80 points just 1 time and even then they dropped 76 points in a win. This team offensively is one of the most dangerous in the conference. They come in averaging nearly 80 ppg while they concede around the 71 point mark. Look for Aanen Moody to have a big game here. He's stepped up recently, producing performances of 16 and 19 in the last two contests. Overall, he’s putting up 15.4 ppg and has been the one to get this offense going. Weber State has dropped 3 of their last 4 overall and they just don’t have the offensive weapons that Montana produces. They’re going to struggle slowing the Grizzlies down and we should see Montana dictate the pace in this one. We’re getting the better team at a good number here. Trends, WST are 2-4 ATS L6, 2-4 SU L6 on the road, and 3-14 SU L17 on the road vs. Montana. MONT are 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 10-2 SU L12 at home, 14-3 L17 SU at home vs. Weber State, and lastly they're 4-1 L5 SU in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-22-24 | Cavs -1.5 v. Magic | 126-99 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Cavs -1.5 Monday 7:00pm ET, the Cavaliers (25-15, 10-7 AWAY, 21-17-2 ATS) will face the Magic (23-20, 14-6 HOME, 28-15 ATS) at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL. Opening NBA betting odds -115 for Cleveland and -105 for the Magic, with a point spread of Cleveland -1. The Over/Under betting total is set at 215.5. The Magic are playing game 2 of a B2B. Cleveland beat Atlanta on Saturday 116-95. The Magic beat the Heat on Sunday 105-87. Both teams have similar points per game averages, with the Cavaliers averaging 113.7 PPG (ranked 20th) and the Magic averaging 111.7 PPG (ranked 25th). Cleveland comes come in as a team that has covered 6 of their L7, has limited teams to 102 points or less in 6 of their L7, they're average margin of victory in the L3 games is 26.3 PPG. The season series is tied 1-1. Cavs won game 1 121-111 DEC 6 in Ohio, then on DEC 11 in Orlando the Magic won 104-94. Cleveland is red hot right now and they come in with tons of momentum. The Cavs have won 7 in a row and they’ve done it with great play at both ends of the floor. After blowing out Milwaukee, they went into Atlanta and demolished the Hawks holding them to just 95 points. It was the third straight game Cleveland’s defense has held the opposition to under 100 points. Cleveland continues to be without Mobley and Garland, but that hasn’t hurt this team as of late. They’re getting contributions all around and the bench is stepping up in a big way. Merrill was the latest to step up as he put up 18 points vs. ATL. That’s what this team continues to do is get production from so many different players. The likes of Niang, Porter Jr., and LaVert all continue to make big plays. Cleveland had the edge here as Orlando has been inconsistent at times this year. While they’re playing above what anyone predicted, the Magic still haven’t found a consistent groove. They give up 110 ppg on average and we’ve seen their defense struggle at times with fast teams like the Cavs. Cleveland should have the edge in tempo and really put Orlando out of their comfort zone on Monday. Trends, CLE are 6-1 ATS L7, 7-0 SU L7, 5-1 SU L6 vs. Magic, and 6-0 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams. Magic are 2-5 SU L7. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-22-24 | Spurs v. 76ers -13.5 | 123-133 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Sixers -13.5 Monday night the (8-34, 5-18 AWAY, 20-22 ATS) Spurs visit the Philadelphia 76ers (28-13, 16-6 HOME, 27-14 ATS) for the first matchup between Embiid and Wemby. Tip off is at 7:10pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Spurs come into this one losers of 8 of their last 9, while the Sixers come in hot looking for their 6th straight W. Spurs come in off a win last game out 131-127 over fellow basement dweller the Wizards. Sixers come in off of a 97-89 win over the Hornets on Saturday. Not bad for a team missing 5 impact players. Philadelphia is rolling right now. Winners of 5 in a row, they’re back to their dominating ways and this is such a lopsided matchup. They have the edge in every which way against the Spurs entering play on Monday night. The Spurs have been abysmal defensively. Phili will be able to win the battle both inside and out against the Spurs. Embiid continues to put up MVP like numbers as well. He’s averaging 35 ppg and 11.4 rebounds and he is in zone right now. Given the Spurs issues defensively, Embiid should be able to dictate just about everything offensively and even create some open shooting lanes for his outside threats. Philadelphia is also stepping things up defensively. If it wasn’t already hard enough for San Antonio, the 76ers allowed just 89 points last time out and they’re going to force a lot of Spurs turnovers. This is a Phili team in such a good rhythm right now and they’re going to pick apart the Spurs Monday night. PHI comes into this one 6th in the NBA in scoring at 119.5 PPG. Spurs are 22nd (112 PPG). Sixers 8th on defense 111 PPG, Spurs are 26th on defense 121.5 PPG. Sixers are a top 5 team in the league in steals and blocks. Injury report: PHI - Beverley (Prob) Bamba, Springer (?). SA - Collins (?), Cissoko OUT. Trends, Spurs are 1-4 SU L5, 2-4 ATS L6 vs. PHILI, 1-8 SU L9 vs. Phili, and 3-17 SU L20 on the road. 76ers are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 10-3 ATS L13 at home, 6-1 SU L7 vs. Spurs at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams.

Devils ML Probable Goalies: Thompson (16-9-3, 2.61 GAA, 0.910 SV%) vs. Daws (3-4-0, 3.18 GAA, 0.903 SV%) Monday it's the Vegas Golden Knights (27-14-5, 9-9-3 AWAY) playing the New Jersey Devils (23-18-3, 9-11-2 HOME) in NHL Hockey on Monday at 7:00 ET, from Prudential Center, in Newark NJ. Opening NHL odds: Moneyline - Knights +105 | Devils -129, NHL Betting Total: O/U: 6. The Knights are 7-9 in their L16 games after a hot start. NJ are 2-4-1 in their L7, including 3 straight losses. They lost 6-2 at home on Saturday to the Stars. The last time these two met the Knights won 4-3 in OT on 3/3/23 in LV. Before that on 1/24/23 NJ won 3-2 in OT in NJ. NJ comes into this one 8th in GPG with 3.4 GPG. Vegas is 16th in the NHL at 3.13 GPG. NJ is 7th in shot % as well. Both teams are top 15 in shots on goal. LV has the defensive advantage 2.65 GAA, to NJ 3.47 GAA. The Devils have heavily relied on their goaltender Nico Daws, giving him the starting nod in four out of their last five games. In their most recent game, Daws made 30 saves but suffered a 6-2 loss to Dallas on Saturday. This marks his third consecutive loss this week, during which he has allowed a total of 11 goals. I'm going with the home favorite in this game. I feel like NJ matches up well with Vegas. This is a team that knows how to win, and they've just been snakebit here by injuries thus far into the season. Vegas while on a little bit of a hot streak are still a bit of a hit & miss team for me thus far this year. I don't trust them. I'll lay the small number with the home team, and while this should be close I trust them not to let us down. Trends, LVK are 0-6 SU L6 on the road, are 0-6 IN their L6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Devils are 6-0 L6 in games where they're the favorite from -110 to -150.

Wake Forest defeated Louisville 90-65 on Saturday, winning 3 of their last 5. North Carolina enters on an 8-game win streak, with their latest win at BC, 76-66 Saturday. We’re on this Over. This game should be extremely fast paced as both teams play quickly and have a lot of playmakers. Looking at Wake Forest first, they come in putting up 81.1 ppg. They love to get up and down the floor and aren’t shy about hoisting up shots early in the shot clock. Coming into Monday as a team, they’re shooting at a 47.7% clip too. Wake showed what they can do last time out as well, putting up a 90 spot on Louisville. On the other side, UNC is showcasing they are one of the best teams in the nation. The Tar Heels score 83.4 ppg themselves and they are getting contributions all around. Their ability to work the inside game has opened up a ton of shooting lanes for their outside threats too. This has the makings of a game where both teams are going to get up and down the floor, putting up some quick shots. Expect plenty of tempo, which benefits this Over tremendously. With the game expecting to be close too, free throws will also help us out as these two teams are two of the best in the conference from the line. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 8 of WF's L9, and 12 of their L14 on the road. Plus, WF has had the OVER hit in 6 of their L7 vs. ACC teams. The total has also gone OVER in all of UNC/WF L5 matchups. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||

Opponents are averaging 30.9 SPG against them. At home this season, the Kraken have gone 9-8-3, and they have won 3 straight games at home. In the Pacific Division, Seattle is in 6th place with a record of 6-8. Overall, the Kraken are 19-17-9, and they have lost 3 in a row. Defensively, the Kraken are currently 16th in goals allowed. This is their get right game. Toronto comes in off an emotional tough loss last night in Vancouver. It what was a massive game. This will be a letdown spot for Toronto tonight vs. a tough gritty well-rested Kraken team. The Maple Leafs are 1-4 in their last five games as a favorite. There's no denying this matchup this game is expected to be tightly contested, but I'm going with the home side to get it down with the ML play. Trends, Leafs 1-5 SU L6, 1-4 SU L5 in JAN.

01-21-24 | Celtics v. Rockets +11 | 116-107 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rockets +11 On Sunday at 7pm ET, it's the Boston Celtics (32-10, 12-9 AWAY, 21-19-2 ATS) vs. Houston Rockets (20-21, 16-6 HOME, 20-19-2 ATS) at Toyota Center, Houston, TX. Opening odds: Moneyline NBA Odds - Celtics -357 | Rockets +290, NBA ATS Betting Odds - Celtics -10.5, Total: 231. Boston meets Houston for the second time this season. Boston won the first game 145-113 on January 13th. HOUSTON won on 3/13/23 111-109 covering +13. Boston's last game was a 100-102 loss to the Nuggets on Friday, while the Rockets, coming off a 127-126 OT win against the Jazz, play back-to-back. Houston excels at home with a 16-6 record. Rockets rank 21st offensively (113.0) and seventh defensively (112.5). Holiday & Horford are (?) to play today, Eason is OUT for HOU, and Bullock is (?). The Rockets have value here grabbing the points. Houston comes in with momentum as they took down the Jazz in overtime last night and now they return home catching a lot of points in this spot. Houston is a tricky team to deal with as they’re scrappy and can cause teams a lot of issues. They will force tough shots and can frustrate teams with their ability to close out on shooters. Boston is in a tricky spot here too. They fell to Denver last time out and then immediately after this have to jump on a plane to take on a Dallas team that is super tough. This has the making of a game where they overlook Houston. The Celtics may have an eye on tomorrow’s matchup more, which can allow Houston to keep this close. Boston will come out sluggish and this will be a game where Houston can steal some easy baskets and keep it close throughout. Trends, Celtics are 5-11 ATS L16 in JAN. HOU are 4-1 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Chiefs v. Bills -2.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 136 h 10 m | Show | |
Bills -2.5 The upcoming clash features the Kansas City Chiefs 12-6 (10-8 ATS), against the Buffalo Bills 12-6 (8-9-1 ATS), currently on a 6-game winning streak. Scheduled for this Sunday in Orchard Park, kickoff is set for 6:30pm ET, with TV (CBS). I can't wait for this NFL Playoffs Divisional Round matchup. Initial odds for this matchup the Moneyline (ML) Chiefs +122 and the Bills -144. The point spread (ATS) favors the Bills by -2.5 points (-115), and the total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 46.5 points. In recent performances, the Chiefs dominated the AFC Wild Card matchup, winning 26-7 against the Miami Dolphins as 4.5-point favorites. The Bills had a 31-17 win over the Steelers as 10-point home favorites. In Week 14 of the regular season the Bills narrowly got past the Chiefs 20-17, you'll remember the controversial ending with the Kadarius Toney offside incident. In a trip down memory lane, the last time the Bills hosted the Chiefs in the playoffs was in January 1994 during the AFC Championship, where Buffalo emerged with the win 30-13. This is such an intriguing matchup. The big narrative this week is of course Mahomes has never played a road playoff game, we don't know what to expect?! Of course we know what to expect. He's Mahomes. 2-time NFL Super Bowl winner. He'll be fine. The Bills have a strong playoff record at home since 1970, with a 14-2 record, the best among NFL teams with at least 5 home games. Allen is highly motivated for his second AFC Championship Game appearance. In my opinion, the key to the Bills covering is their run game. The Chiefs have struggled to defend the run since the middle of the season, while the Bills have consistently gained over 100 rushing yards since Week 10. The Bills have to control possession, limiting Mahomes' opportunities and allowing Allen to utilize play-action effectively, relying on Cook, Johnson, and Murray. Will it be loud in Buffalo? Yes. Will it be cold? Yes. Vegas is smart. If Mahomes sucked the Bills would be a 7pt favorite. They're not. But, having said all that, I still think the Bills cover this 2.5. Trends, Bills are 4-2 ATS L6, 6-0 SU L6, 6-1 SU L7 at home, and 5-0 SU L5 vs. AFC teams. Bills are also 4-0-1 ATS L5 vs. a team with a winning record. On the other side the Chiefs are 0-5 ATS L5 following a SU win of 14+ points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Bucs v. Lions -6 | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 121 h 34 m | Show | |
Lions -6 NFC divisional playoffs this week sees the Tampa Bay Bucs (10-8, 12-6 ATS, 8-1 ATS AWAY, 5-4 SU AWAY) taking on the Detroit Lions (13-5, 12-6 ATS, 5-4 ATS HOME, 7-2 SU HOME) in the Motor City. Ford Field will see a 3pm ET kick off time on January 21st. Since 2007, the Buccaneers and Lions have clashed 10x, with the Lions emerging victorious in 6x matchups. In point spread terms, the Lions boast a 6-4 ATS record when facing the Bucs. In their latest meeting this season, the Lions secured a comfortable 20-6 win in Week 6. Going back farther, in a total of 61 games, including 1 postseason game, between the Lions and Bucs, the Lions have emerged victorious in 32, while the Bucs have claimed 29 wins. Detroit is clicking on all cylinders and they have value here at this number. The Lions take on a Bucs team that really has taken down teams struggling or beaten up during their hot run. This Detroit team is just on a different level right now. The Lions offensively are moving the ball, sustaining drives, and coming up with some big plays. Goff threw for 277 yards and a touchdown in the Wild card win over the Rams, as he has been playing at just a high level right now. He’s taking care of the ball and not forcing anything, which has allowed this offense to sustain drives. Defensively, Detroit is going to pin their ears back and come after Mayfield. The Bucs offensive line is shaky and they have struggled dealing with blitzes. The Lions are only giving up 23.2 ppg and they force a lot of turnovers. Expect them to put together many different looks defensively with their blitz packages and force Mayfield into some tight passes. With the crowd energy and the Lions rolling right now, this is the kind of game they’re going to feed off the momentum. Look for a quick start and for them to ultimately be too much for this Bucs side. Trends, Bucs are 4-11 ATS L15 vs. Detroit. Lions are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 7-1 SU L8 at home, 15-5 SU L20 vs. NFC Conference teams, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. NFC South. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |
