12-14-23 | Lightning v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Vasilevskiy (4-4, 2.74 GAA, 0.894 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Skinner (11-7-1, 2.92 GAA, 0.891 SV%, 1 SO) Tampa Bay (13-12-5, 5-9-2 AWAY) take on Edmonton (13-12-1, 9-4-1 HOME) tonight in NHL betting action. The play for tonight in this one is OVER the total. In net, Skinner comes into this matchup finally finding his form. He has 7 straight wins after his rough start. He has a 1.70 GAA, and a .934 SV% in his L9 games. Vasilevskiy allowed 3 on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Vancouver. His 3 game win streak was ended. He has allowed 3 goals in 5 of his 8 appearances so far, and looks rusty. Tampa Bay has been about as inconsistent as you can find here to start the 2023 campaign. The good news for us is that either way they are conceding a lot of goals, or scoring a lot of goals. They come in off allowing 4 goals to Vancouver, as this season they’ve given up 3.53 goals against per game. That number is just too high and they facing an Edmonton team that is red hot right now. The Oilers have won 8 in a row and they’ve scored 3 or more goals in all their wins. This team is finally getting the production we thought they would this year and it’s coming from so many different players. Overall, Edmonton is averaging 3.5 goals per game and that number has been significantly higher during this winning streak obviously. Both of these teams do concede with the pace they play with too. With both sides allowing well over 3 goals per game on the defensive end, this has the makings of a high scoring affair. Expect end to end action with scoring chances both ways all night long. Trends, the OVER is 9-1-2 in the Bolts' L12 vs. Pacific teams. On the other side, the OVER is 4-0 in the Oilers L4 vs. Atlantic teams, 5-1-1 L7 home games, and the OVER has hit in 4 of the L6 games for Edmonton vs. Eastern conference teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
12-14-23 | Chargers v. Raiders UNDER 35 | 21-63 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 56 m | Show | |
Under 35 In a Thursday Night Football showdown, the (5-8, 3-3 AWAY, 4-8-1 ATS) Chargers take on the (5-8, 6-5-2 ATS, 4-3 HOME) Raiders Thursday at Allegiant Stadium in LV, on Amazon Prime at 8:15pm ET. Las Vegas is favored by 3 points, with a Moneyline of -161, while the Chargers are at +134. The over/under for the game is 33.5 points I'm not a fan of the spread on this one, but I'll likely look more into it in the AM and put it out as a 5* free play. My big play on this game is on the TOTAL. Looking at the UNDER. We've had some success this season betting unders on prime time games. Tell me again why the Chargers are dogs? The Chargers have averaged 21.7 PPG, ranking 15th, whereas the Raiders have scored 15.5 PPG, placing them 25th. In yardage, the Chargers average 334.3 YPG (17th), while the Raiders trail with 277.7 YPG (29th). In their initial meeting this season, the Chargers secured a 24-17 victory against the Raiders. With the point spread favoring the Chargers by -6.5. Not on my life can I back the OVER in this game. Some guy named Easton Stick at QB for LAC, they have no Allen, No Herbert, and then couple that with a Raiders offense that is going backwards (Less than 17PPG L4 games) and I'd be crazy to bet the OVER here. Chargers ran the ball 35+ times in G1, and that was with NO Ekeler in the game. RUN RUN RUN, clock moves! Rinse Wash Repeat! (Even better both teams' rush offenses are bottom 6 in the NFL, so they run, but they don't go anywhere...perfect) Trends, Chargers, the total points scored have remained below the mark, with 10 of their L11 and all 5 of their recent road games falling short. LV has also witnessed a pattern of low-scoring contests, with 5 of their L6 finishing under, and 4 out of 5 games against the Chargers displaying a similar trend. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL O/U Play | |||||||
12-13-23 | Creighton -13 v. UNLV | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
Creighton -13 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic. The tipoff for this college basketball matchup is scheduled for 9:00 EST at the Dollar Loan Center, and you can catch it on CBSSN. Now, let's talk numbers. The initial betting odds are as follows: Creighton is sitting at -1250 on the moneyline, while UNLV is the underdog at +740. When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. They’re simply going to overwhelm UNLV here in this spot. UNLV is not the team they’ve been in the past, as they come in off a loss to LMU. They have struggled from the field, while their defense has been far too inconsistent. That doesn’t bode well when they’re taking on one of the best offenses coming into play. Creighton will have a field day with this defense and they’re just going to come at UNLV at so many different angles in this game. I'm banking on UNLV being rusty too. UNLV haven't played for 10+ days due to the shooting on the UNLV campus. Trends, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 8-1 SU in their L9, lastly, Creighton are 4-1 SU in their L5 in December. Flip it, and UNLV are 1-4 ATS in their L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
12-13-23 | Creighton v. UNLV OVER 149 | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
OVER 149 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic. The tipoff for this college basketball matchup is scheduled for 9:00 EST at the Dollar Loan Center, and you can catch it on CBSSN. When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. This moved all the way up to 151.5 on early sharp money, so it's dropping back down s where we see it now. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. (109 points? Are you kidding me?) The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. 15/31 last game out. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. Wednesday's are also very kind to Creighton and UNLV, must be their pre-game meals or something? The total has gone OVER in 5 of the Bluejays L6 Wednesday games, and in 4 of their L5 Wednesday games when NOT at home and for UNLV the total has gone OVER in 7 of their L8 WED. games. More trends, the OVER has hit in ALL 5 of UNLV's L5, and in 10 of their L11 December games. Plus 1 more for UNLV, the OVER is 7-0 L7 neutral site games. You know what to do. Hop ON!

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

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

12-13-23 | Bruins v. Devils -115 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
Devils -115 Probable Goalies: Ullmark (9-4-1, 2.71 GAA, 0.917 SV%) vs. Schmid (4-6-1, 3.03 GAA, 0.901 SV%) 18-5-3 (8-3-2 AWAY) Boston Bruins take on the 14-11-1 (5-6-1 HOME) New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. 7:30pm ET start time. The Devils are worth a move here in a game that is practically a pickem. New Jersey has been one of the most underwhelming teams in the NHL this season, but they’re starting to figure things out. Despite losing the final game of their road trip, they still cashed in 3 of their last 4. The Devils are starting to put together the offense that everyone was expecting to see. New Jersey is attacking and peppering the net much more, putting relentless pressure on. Boston is a physical team, but the Devils can match that. New Jersey is going to match up well here with a Boston team that has some gaps in their defense. This will be the kind of game where New Jersey is going to come out swinging early. The Devils play much better from in front and they have a new found attack that is aggressive. They’re going to push the tempo in this game, as Boston likes to try and play a slow game. We’re backing the Devils, who come home and will feed off this crowd energy. Some trends: Devils are 7-1 in their L8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and are 6-2 SU in their L8, plus, they're 5-2 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the Atlantic. On the other side, the Bruins are 1-4 in their L5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
12-13-23 | Boston University v. Dartmouth OVER 128.5 | 54-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 30 m | Show | |
OVER 128.5 7th in the IVY League Dartmouth (2-6, 3-6 ATS, 2-2 HOME) faces off against 3rd in the Patriot League Boston University (4-6, 3-4 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) Wednesday at 7:00pm ET at the Edward Leede Arena in Hanover, NH, and you can catch the action on ESPN+. The Big Green are slightly favored by 2.5 points. The initial total (O/U) over/under stands at 129. If you're looking at the moneyline, Dartmouth is at -143, while Boston U comes in at +118. The last time these two met BU won 67-59 on 12/13/22. Before that they met on 12/11/21 a 65-62 BU win. This is a low total and we should see both teams find success on the offensive side of the ball. Dartmouth has had games where they have turned things up a notch. They have allowed over 70 points per game this season and at times they’ve struggled to slow teams down in transition. Boston meanwhile has seen their games put up some points themselves. Their latest saw them put up 73 points in a win over Wagner. They have put up 70+ points in 4 of their last 5 games, which has been needed given their inconsistency on the defensive end. This has the makings of a game where both teams know they match up well with the opposing defense. Expect a game where physicality can also lead into some foul trouble both ways. That can give us some easy points with the clock stopped in a game that can see both teams reach the upper 60’s into the 70’s. Trends: The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's L6, and OVER has hit in 4 of BU's L5 games against an opponent in the Ivy League. For Dartmouth, the total has gone OVER in 5 of their L6 against an opponent in the Patriot League. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
12-12-23 | Red Wings v. Blues -125 | 6-4 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
Blues ML Probable Goalies: (Likely) Husso (8-4-2, 3.65 GAA) vs. Binnington (8-8-1, 3.00 GAA, 0.911 SV%) Tuesday in the home of the "Gateway To The West" its the 14-8-4 (6-4-1 AWAY) Detroit Red Wings taking on the 13-13-1 (7-4 HOME) St. Louis Blues in NHL betting action. Face-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO. Blues opened as -125 ML odds in this one. The O/U is set at 6. H2H record L10 between these two is owned by the Blues 7-2-1 averaging 3.70 GPG to DET's 2.40 GPG. Blues are 2-0-1 L3 vs. DET. Last time they met was 3/23/23 a 4-3 Blues Win. As I type this up the Wings are about to take on the Stars in Dallas. Then they have to grab a flight to St. Louis for a B2B with the Blues. Never an easy task. Reimer is starting on Monday night vs. Dallas. So no word yet on who they put in on Tuesday, likely NOT Reimer though. The Red Wings stand out with three goalies on the active roster, led by Husso's 14 appearances. For ST.L Binnington last started Saturday night in Chicago. He stopped 21/24 shots in a loss to the Hawks that he got no support in front of him. It's his 3rd loss L6 games. The Blues offense is to blame for his recent woes though, not him. Tuesday the Blues get a familiar team they've had some good success against recently in the Wings. This is a favorable matchup for him to regain his form and build some momentum. I believe the Blues are on the brink of a breakthrough. They're heating up, but the results haven't quite matched their performance. Being well-rested and facing the Red Wings in a b2b situation WILL give them an advantage. In their recent 2 losses to Columbus and Chicago, the Blues outshot their opponents 82-46 but only scored 3 goals while conceding 8. 6 of their next 8 are in St. Louis, so some home cookin' should do the trick here to get them back on track. Against the Red Wings, the Blues hold a 4-1-1 record in their recent 6 matchups and have earned points in 13 of the last 15. Trends: Blues are 7-1 L8 vs. Eastern Conference teams, and 4-1 L5 vs. Atlantic Div. teams. You know what to do here! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||

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

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

Dolphins -13 In Week 14 on Monday Night Football, we've got Tennessee (4-8, 5-7 ATS) facing off against the Dolphins (9-3, 8-4 ATS) in one of 2x MNF matchups. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. The early Moneyline odds show Titans at +550 and Dolphins at -800 (proceed with caution!). Looking at the spread, Dolphins are favored by -13 (-110), and the initial total (O/U) is set at 47. In their recent outings, the Titans came up short against the Colts, losing 31-28 as 1-point underdogs, while the Dolphins cruised to a 45-15 win over the Commanders, covering as 9-point road favorites. This marks the 40th meeting between these two, with Miami holding a 21-18 edge. Their most recent clash was Week 17 of 2021, Titans dominated 34-3 victory. It wasn't even a contest to be honest. Over their last 10 games, Miami holds a 6-4 record. Huge spread here in 1 of the 2 MNF games this week. But I'm never afraid of a huge line. Last time we played one like this we had the Cowboys a couple weeks ago, and it cleared easy. This is a fade on the Titans for a few reasons. For starters, this team has just battled so many key injuries, it’s been near impossible to overcome. The Titans have Levis running the show at QB, who just isn’t going to overpower anyone. Now, Henry may miss this contest and without him, this offense stands no chance to keep up with the Dolphins offense. Miami is averaging 32 PPG and they’re doing it with so many different weapons. They strike as quickly as anyone and they aren’t shy about throwing teams off with a little tempo. The Titans have been a disaster on the defensive side and they’re going to have their hands full with this Miami attack. This is just a lopsided game whichever way you look at it. Miami’s defense even is near the top in the league, allowing just 22 points per game. They’re going to have Tennessee on edge all night long. Plain and simple the Fins are the better team here, and I just don't see a path for a Titans cover. No way, no how! Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-11-23 | Mavs -1.5 v. Grizzlies | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Mavs -1.5 The Mavs are in a revenge spot here. Dallas (13-8, 11-10 ATS) gets to enact this revenge against the Grizzlies (6-15, 9-12 ATS) on Monday night after their 108-94 loss on December 1st. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. Dallas is the favorite by 1.5 points against the Grizzlies, and the over/under is set at 226 points. These are two completely different teams thus far into the season despite that game. Memphis is just 6-15 on the year as they have had zero consistency. They have put up just 106 PPG, which is one of the worst in the league. They’ve just been far too inconsistent to trust. They don’t have a big time player who can step up and they’re going to be overwhelmed with this Mavs side. Dallas has won back to back games and they’ve looked impressive in doing so. They put up 147 on Utah and 125 against Portland as they can go off at any moment. This team is built with playmakers and they can open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Dallas is going to come at Memphis from a lot of different sides here, giving them a ton of value at this line. Dallas just matches up well with this Grizzlies team. Dallas covered the spread in seven of the last nine meetings and has done so in the past five games at Memphis. The Grizzlies are also banged up on the player front. LaRavia, Smart, Kennard, Adams, Clarke are all out. Plus Morant is still suspended (until DEC 19). Trends, Mavs 7-2 L9 vs. the Grizz, and 5-0 ATS L5 on the road vs. Memphis. 8-2 L10 in DEC too! Grizz 6-14 L20 SU, and 1-9 SU L10 at home. Not an easy task here on Monday night. I'm backing the Mavs. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Magic -2 (13-9, 9-13 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs are in Orlando On Monday to take on the Magic (15-7, 16-6 ATS, 10-1 HOME). 7pm ET tip-off from Amway Center, in Orlando FL. Orlando has the value in this spot. The Magic stand among the elite defensive teams in the league, allowing an average of 109.6 PPG, which ranks sixth as of games played on Friday. Simultaneously, they maintain the 13th-best offensive performance in the NBA, scoring an average of 114.5 PPG. They’re getting production all around right now. Recent Meetings: 12/6/23 121-111 CLE, and 4/6/23 118-94 CLE. Stats: PPG ORL 13th 114.5 | CLE 22nd 111, DEF ORL 6th 109PPG | CLE 7th 110PPG. Both top 10 at FG%, Orlando the better defensive team causing havoc too with more steals and blocks per game. On the glass both teams fairly close. The Magic have come out of the gates firing and they have been the biggest surprise in the NBA so far. They have 15 wins, which included a 9 game winning streak as well. They dropped back to back games but bounced back in a big way after beating Detroit last time out. The Magic have found success with their ability to push tempo on teams. They just fell to the Cavs last week in a game where they just dug themselves too early of a hole. Orlando is going to come out with a purpose here. Combine that with the Cavs still not at 100% health wise and Orlando has plenty of value. They have played extremely well at home this year and catch the Cavs in a good spot on Monday. Trends: Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, plus, they're 9-3 ATS L12, 10-2 SU L12, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Eastern conference teams, and 5-1 ATS vs. Central DIV teams. This is a bad spot for the Cavs on Monday. The value lays with the Magic. Give the points. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
12-11-23 | Wizards v. 76ers -11.5 | 101-146 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
76ers -11.5 Monday night the (3-18, ATS, AWAY) Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers (14-7, ATS, HOME) Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. H2H Phili owns a 3-0 record L3 these two have played. 12/6/23 131-126 @ WASH, 11/6/23 146-128 HOME, and 3/12/23 HOME 112-93. Philadelphia comes into this one against Washington just on a different spectrum than the Wizards. Washington is 3-18 on the year and they have been getting beaten up time and time again here in 2023. The latest was a 27 point loss to the Nets. Prior to that, they allowed 131 points to this Phili side. Washington has given up 125.3 points per game, which is one of the worst in the league. They allow opposing teams to get so many easy looks at the rim and in transition. The 76ers are in the midst of playing some good ball themselves too. They’ve won back to back games and in those two performances they’ve put up 131 and 125 points. The 76ers are going to have their way on the offensive side in this matchup, while forcing Washington into some tough shots on the defensive end. This is just a case of two teams going in total opposite directions. Trends: Wizards are 1-13 SU L14, 5-14 SU L19 vs. Phili, 2-17 SU L19 on the road, and finally they're 2-14 SU L16 when playing on the road vs. Phili. On the other side, Philadelphia are 4-2 ATS L6, 14-6 SU L20, and are 14-2 SU L16 when playing at home vs. Washington. Don't overthink this one. Phili will win by 15+. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-11-23 | Coyotes v. Sabres UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 41 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Connor Ingram (11-5, 2.52 GAA, 0.92 SV%, 2SO's) vs. Devon Levi (4-4-2, 3.27 GAA, 0.891 SV%) Both of these clubs are bottom 15 in scoring in the NHL, and in shots on goal per game, so I'm expecting good goaltending and scoring chances to be limited on Monday night. The Coyotes (13-11-2, 5-6-2 AWAY) take on the Sabres (11-14-13, 5-7-1 HOME) in Buffalo, NY. Puck drop is at 7pm ET. The Yotes GK Ingram kicked out 24 of 29 shots in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday. Ingram also surrendered four markers in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday. While Ingram is working through a rough patch, he's been fairly consistent this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rebound. He's been in the zone for most of the season. So I'll cut him some slack here. It has been a dream season thus far for him, who has taken over the #1 spot with the Yotes. Meanwhile, Arizona experienced a shift in momentum after their impressive five-game winning streak, as they faced back-to-back regulation losses. In the other net, last game out Levi made 29 saves Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Habs. Levi has been sharp since his call-up from the AHL. The Sabres have a home record of 5-7-1 this season, which places them near the bottom of the league in terms of home points. But I'm expecting Levi to start. He's been HOT. 60 saves L63 shots. Trends, The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Buffalo's L9 vs. the Yotes, and the UNDER has hit in 8 of Buffalo's L10 IN Buffalo, and lastly, we've seen the UNDER in ALL of the Sabres last 5 games when playing at home against the Yotes. Last one, the UNDER is 7-1 in Sabres L7 games on 1 days rest. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Arizona's last 8 games against an Eastern conference teams. These two play again on Saturday, but for this one on Monday. HAMMER the UNDER. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
12-11-23 | Delaware -4.5 v. Robert Morris | 73-69 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Delaware -4.5 Monday night it's the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens (5-3, 5-2 ATS) taking on the Robert Morris Colonials (2-7, 4-4 ATS). We’re backing Delaware here on Monday night when they head into Robert Morris. The Public is also pretty heavy on DEL in this one. Looks like 67% to 33%. Robert Morris has been atrocious to start the season and a lot of their issues have come from the offensive end. They are putting up a mere 68.6 points per game as they’ve struggled mightily from the field. Their inability to attack the rim has been the biggest flaw and it’s not opening any sort of shooting lanes for their outside threats. Delaware averages nearly 10 points higher and they’re coming in with a lot of confidence. They took down an impressive Xavier team, on the road last time out. They're shooting the ball at a 47.2% clip, which is also nearly 7% higher than this Robert Morris team. They're holding opponents to a 42% shooting %. Delaware has the advantage in every facet here. They’re going to frustrate this Robert Morris team from the start with their physicality and ability to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. I'm not sure RM will have an answer for Jyare Davis. He's 83rd in CBB putting up 18.1 PPG. Colonials are 2-2 in home games and are 2-4 in close games decided by less than 10. Trends, Delaware are 5-2 ATS L7, 9-4 SU L13, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and are 7-3 L10 in December. Robert Morris are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and are 1-6 SU L7. Get on board with the Hens tonight! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
12-10-23 | Eagles +3.5 v. Cowboys | 13-33 | Loss | -105 | 42 h 58 m | Show | |
Eagles +3.5 The Eagles (10-2, 6-3-3 ATS) and Cowboys (9-3, 8-4 ATS) are set to face off in a Week 14 divisional showdown this Sunday night, with kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Let's take a look at the opening odds for the Eagles vs. Cowboys matchup. For those who like to bet straight up, the moneyline shows the Eagles at +145 and the Cowboys at -175. On the spread (ATS), the Cowboys are favored by -3 points (-120), and the initial total Over/Under (O/U) stands at 51.5 points. Dallas is coming off a Thursday night win over the Seahawks, but they didn't cover the spread, winning 41-35 as -9.5 favorites. Meanwhile, the Eagles had a tough outing, losing 42-19 to the 49ers on Sunday. They seemed exhausted, having played three games in the last 10 days. They are a solid 5-1 on the road and being undervalued a bit after getting knocked around by the 49ers. Hopefully, they've had some much-needed rest before this Sunday night clash. The Eagles had their impressive 5-game winning streak snapped, and in the longstanding rivalry between the Eagles and Cowboys (played 129 times, with Dallas leading 73-56), the Cowboys have won the last 5 games at AT&T Stadium. Earlier this season in Dallas, the Eagles managed to defeat the Cowboys 28-23. The Eagles and Cowboys rivalries in the past have produced some fun games. This one, is going to be quite the show as they battle on SNF with a lot on the line here. The Eagles and Cowboys are in the midst of two amazing seasons as they prepare for battle in this one. Philadelphia has proven they can go on the road and win in hostile environments already as they came from behind against the Chiefs earlier this year. One thing for sure is that this Eagles team does not lose in bunches. They are going to lean on their ability to strike with the big play. Philadelphia ranks 9th in the NFL in total offense and 4th in total points scored. They have the most dangerous weapons and they should be able to pick apart this Dallas secondary. Philadelphia's defense ranks 4th in the NFL against the rush and they are going to be hungry to bounce back after last week's performance. Trends, Eagles are 4-1-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 12-2 SU L14 on the road, and 9-1 SU L10 vs. NFC teams. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-10-23 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Nebraska | 70-77 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Michigan State -3.5 The 4-4 (3-5 ATS) Michigan St. Spartans take on the 7-2 (5-4 ATS) Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday at 6:30pm ET at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. MST have won 10 in a row in this series. (7-3 ATS) averaging 80PPG to NEB's 65PPG over these 10. We’re backing the Spartans here, at this number on the road on Sunday. The public is going after Nebraska, who is 7-2 coming into play, but this is a game the Spartans matchup very well. Nebraska has struggled to cover the spread in their past three games as they head into their Big Ten home opener. There’s no beating around the bush with the start Michigan State has had to the season and how it’s been rocky. However, they’ve been playing a tough schedule and this is the kind of game where they can get momentum. Tom Izzo challenged his team to be tougher after their loss to Wisconsin last time out. This Spartans side is going to come out motivated more than ever here on Sunday. Nebraska has regressed after their undefeated start, losing back to back games to Creighton and Minnesota. They have struggled offensively in the losses, putting up just 65 and 60 points. They’re going to get a much more physical Spartans team here on Sunday too, which will result in another struggle from the field. Their most recent encounter took place on February 28 in Lincoln, with Michigan State emerging victorious with a score of 80-67. They not only won the game but also covered the 4.5-point spread, and the total score went over the set line of 138.5 points. Expect more of the same today. Trends, Michigan State are 8-3 ATS in their L11 games against Nebraska, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 games against Nebraska, also Sparty are 5-0 SU in their L5 games when playing on the road against Nebraska. I am confident that Michigan State wins this game. Meet me at the window! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
12-10-23 | Bills v. Chiefs -2.5 | 20-17 | Loss | -110 | 116 h 15 m | Show | |
Chiefs -2.5 In the NFL showdown happening this Sunday, it's Buffalo (6-6, 4-8 ATS) facing off against Kansas City (8-4, 7-5 ATS). The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET at GEHA Field in Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO, and you can catch it on CBS if you can't be there in person. When it comes to the moneyline (ML) wager, the Bills are sitting at +130, while the Chiefs are favored at -155. Looking at the spread (ATS), the Chiefs have a -3-point advantage, and the initial Over/Under total is set at 48. Buffalo has the historical edge, leading the all-time series 28-24-1. KC had a tough loss on Monday Night Football, falling 27-19 to Green Bay. Despite the shorter week, they're accustomed to the MNF road game, travel, and Sunday home match routine. On the other hand, Buffalo had a week off following their Week 12 overtime loss to the Eagles (37-34). The Bills have had a bit of a rough patch, losing three out of their last four games. We all know this line would be -7 if we knew Taylor Swift was attending...and you know it. I'm on the Chiefs at home on Sunday. There's been some good matchups between these two in past years, (BUF has won 2/3) but that's just it, it was in past years. The Chiefs while coming off a loss to GB (I think) are better than last year, they just don't show it every week. But this is a big game. At home, they'll have home cookin' here, and I don't think the Bills have the horses to keep up. Andy just has too many weapons. It's not like the Bills are overly healthy on defense either. Trends, Bills 1-7 ATS L8 games, 2-4 SU L6 games, 3-6 ATS L9 vs. KC. Bills are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game. Chiefs are 7-0 ATS in their L7 games following a ATS loss, plus, they're 16-4 SU in their L20, and are 9-2 L11 vs. AFC East teams. Back the Chiefs and lay the points. Smile at the window. Hop on!

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

12-10-23 | Vikings v. Raiders +3 | Top | 3-0 | Push | 0 | 116 h 15 m | Show |
Raiders +3 In this Week 14 matchup on Sunday, the Vikings (6-6) and the Raiders (5-7) are set to clash at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV, with a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff (FOX broadcast). Let's break down the odds: The Moneyline shows the Vikings at -134 and the Raiders at +118. The ATS (Against the Spread) line favors the Vikings at -1.5 (-115), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at a total of 40.5 points for all the gamblers out there. In their previous game, the Vikings suffered a tough 12-10 loss to Chicago and failed to cover the 3-point spread. However, they maintain a decent 4-2 road record this season. On the other side, the Raiders last took the field on November 26, losing 31-17 to the Chiefs. Despite dropping 4 of their last 6, it's worth noting that they faced some formidable opponents. Furthermore, the team hasn't given up under interim coach Antonio Pierce. If you watched the last Vikings game you have to be wondering how they can lay 3 against any team in the NFL right now. I'm certainly scratching my head here. They do welcome back JJ this week. Raiders come in rested off of a bye, 2 weeks to gameplan, and the Vikings certainly don't present an offense like that of the Chiefs and Dolphins gauntlet the Raida's just went thru. This game should be the battle of the #1 WR's. Adams vs. Jefferson, and on the defensive side it will be Hunter vs. Crosby. My X-factor is going to be O'Connell. This game will be his 6th start. 4 TD's and 6 INT's so far. He has to stretch the field here to give Jacobs room to run. I think he will. Some trends, this matchup is even over the L10 games (5-5 ATS each), Raiders lead series all time 10-6. 5-2 at home. Minnesota are 2-5 SU in their L7 when playing on the road against LV. I'm on Vegas. Grab the points and smile at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. RARE 10* Sunday NFL TOP PLAY | |||||||
12-10-23 | Rams v. Ravens -7 | 31-37 | Loss | -110 | 114 h 36 m | Show | |
Ravens -7 In Week 14, Baltimore (9-3) is set to take on the LAR (6-6), with both teams aiming to extend their recent winning streaks. Here are the key numbers to consider: The opening NFL betting odds show the Moneyline (ML) at Rams +240 and Ravens -300, while the Against the Spread (ATS) line has the Ravens at +7 (-110). The Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 43.5. Weather could be a factor today. High 50's, 88% chance of rain, and 6-8mph winds. The Rams are coming into this matchup on the back of a three-game winning streak, which has helped them secure the 8th spot in the NFC with a 6-6 record. Meanwhile, Baltimore had a bye week in Week 13 but had won two consecutive games leading up to it. They currently stand at 2nd place in the AFC. The Rams aren’t as good as their record may indicate. While they took care of business last week, it was against a Joe Flacco led Browns team that certainly isn’t going to overwhelm anyone. The Rams are running into a Ravens team who will be battling for the top spot in the AFC and that comes in off a bye. Harbaugh has been electric off bye weeks and this Baltimore team is well rested now. The extra week gave Lamar Jackson a chance to get himself to 100%, which will spell a lot of troubles for LA. The Rams are also battling injuries themselves. Nacua is listed as questionable and even if he goes, the Rams other top wide out isn’t going to be at 100% himself. Baltimore is going to overwhelm the Rams, who come across country for an early start time. The Ravens offense will have a field day and Jackson will be a problem with both his arm and legs on Sunday. Trends, Rams 2-4 ATS L6, 0-4-1 L5 vs. Ravens, 1-4 SU L5 vs. Ravens, and 3-10 SU L13 on the road. On the other side the Ravens are 6-1 SU L7, and 10-4 ATS L14 games. Lastly, Ravens are 7-0 SU L7 vs. the NFC. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-10-23 | Lions v. Bears +3.5 | 13-28 | Win | 100 | 113 h 24 m | Show | |
Bears +3.5 These two met a couple weeks ago when the Lions were 7-2, and the Bears were 3-7 at Ford Field. Lions won by 5. For this one, I didn't quite get +4, but I'll take +3.5 with a little extra juice on Sunday for Chicago. IF you can get -110, GOOD for you! This number should only go the other way by Friday/Sat. In Week 14, the Lions (9-3) are facing off against the Bears (4-8) this Sunday. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL, and you can catch it on FOX. For those looking to bet, the Moneyline (ML) odds are as follows: Lions -196 and Bears +164. When it comes to the point spread, it's Lions -4 (-110), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 45. Weather will be a factor today. Mid 30's, 93% cloudy, low chance of rain, but its going to be cold. 10-15mph winds. The Bears have been showing some signs of improvement, winning 2 of their last 3 games, and they're coming off a bye week in Week 13. In their last outing, they secured a narrow 12-10 victory against the Vikings in a rather gritty contest. But one that was REALLY REALLY BORING! Meanwhile, the Lions have been on a roll, winning 4 out of their last 5. They recently handled the Saints in New Orleans, coming out on top with a 33-28 W and covering the 3.5. Detroit is starting to see some regression and this is not a good spot for them. The Lions fast start to the season has started to come back a little bit as this team is struggling in a few areas. The main concern coming into Sunday is their red zone abilities. They rank 30th in the NFL inside the red zone and they’ve started to turn the ball over a lot lately. The Bears aren’t any kind of pushover either. They come in off a win over Minnesota as their defense has come up big in a few games this year. Off a bye week, this is a revenge spot for them against Detroit. The well rested Bears are going to put up points against this Lions defense, that has given up 28 and 29 point performances over the last two weeks. Chicago are 4-2 ATS in their L6. Bears have the #3 rush offense, if they can control the "TOP" they give themselves a great chance here. Bears haven't beat the Lions since 11/25/21 a 16-14 win. I expect the same type of score in this one, unsure if Bears win outright, but they'll keep it within the number. Meet me at the window. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-09-23 | Gonzaga -3.5 v. Washington | 73-78 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 50 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -3.5 For many years (06-15) these two in-state schools never played each other. I'm glad we've gotten to see this matchup nearly every year since. It's a great rivalry. They've played a few times of late so we have some history to look back on. The last matchup was 12/9/22 a 77-60 Zags win, before that, 12/8/19 a 83-76 Zags win. The 6-1 (0-0 AWAY, 4-3 ATS) take on the UW Huskies 5-3 (3-1 HOME, 4-3 ATS) on Saturday. We're on the Bulldogs here in the last game on the board Saturday night. Gonzaga has been on a tear offensively as of late. They've covered their last two games as they've put up performances of 89 points and then 111. They rank 13th in the entire nation with 87.3 points per game and they're doing it with plenty of different scorers each night. The Bulldogs sit 11th in the country in field goal percentage and they're going to overwhelm this Huskies side. Washington hasn't faced much tougher competition this season and they have struggled with 3 losses. They are one of the worst in the nation on the defensive side of things as they have struggled to slow teams down both in the paint and from behind the arc. Gonzaga should be able to dictate a lot here. They're going to play with a ton of pace and put a lot of pressure on this Washington defense from the start. The Huskies have struggled to close out on shooters, which won't bode well when they're facing a team as dangerous as the Bulldogs in this spot. Trends, Dawgz are 0-5 ATS L5 games following a SU win of 20+, and are 0-6 ATS L6 when playing at home against Gonzaga. On the other side the Zags are 5-0 SU L5, 9-1 ATS L10 vs. UW, 7-0 SU L7 vs. UW, and finally the Zags are 7-1 SU in their L8 on the road. You know what to do. Back the Zags ATS. Hop on!

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

UNDER 243 Ok I'm finally getting off the couch and picking something on this game. I can't just watch this game tonight. So this is a 7* play. NOT huge $ on it, but enough to sprinkle in to have something to cheer for. I'm liking the 243 number. Hope you can find that at your book. A whopping $500,000 is at stake for each player on the winning team in this game! It's like a sweet incentive for professional athletes to bring their A-game to the court!

The action is set to kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight. Opening odds: Moneyline (ML): Pacers +150 | Lakers -178, and Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -4 (-110), with the total, Over/Under (O/U) set at 243. These two squads haven't crossed paths yet this season, but they did split their series 1-1 back in the 2021/22 season. Now, let's dive into how they made it to this championship showdown. The Lakers showed their dominance with a commanding 133-89 victory over the Pelicans Thursday, marking their second-highest scoring performance of the season. Meanwhile, the Pacers pulled off an impressive upset, winning 128-119 as 5.5-point dogs against Milwaukee. I'm steering clear of the spread this time, even though I'm leaning towards the Pacers. They've covered the spread in three consecutive games. However, it's tough to go against LeBron and the Lakers, who have also covered the spread in their last three outings. In terms of injuries, keep in mind that IND will be missing Nembhard and J. Smith, while LAL's Vincent is also out. These two have both played some UNDERS of late, so that's my lean 100%. I'm expecting the Pacers depth to really be tested here. Apart from their starters not a lot of dudes can score. The key to the Lakers winning the NBA CUP tonight lies in their strong defense. They have recently held 4 out of their last 5 to 107 points or fewer, showcasing their defensive prowess. With their length and defensive abilities, they have the capability to effectively contain Indiana and secure victory. (I know IND can score, just not tonight) Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Indiana's L6 when playing on the road against the Lakers, I only put that in here (Neutral court) because we all know this will feel like a LAL home game.Just like the NOP game did) The total has gone UNDER in 8 of LA's L12, and finally the total has gone UNDER in 9 of the Lakers' L13 games against Indiana. You know what to do. Hit the UNDER tonight. I'm at 235-239. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
12-09-23 | Senators v. Red Wings -117 | 5-1 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Red Wings -117 (CIRCA) Probable Goalies: Korpisalo (5-6, 3.40 GAA, 0.897 SV%) vs. Lyon (4-1, 1.61 GAA, 0.947 SV%) On Saturday at 7:00 PM ET, Detroit (14-7-4, 8-3-3 HOME) will be facing Ottawa (10-11, 2-3 AWAY) at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. In their recent games, Ottawa suffered a 4-3 loss at home against Toronto on December 7. Before that they had won 2 in a row. Detroit, on the other hand, had a tough match on the same day, losing 6-5 in overtime against the Sharks at home. Wings blew a 4-goal lead in that one. Husso was in the pipes for that matchup, and we're thankfully NOT seeing him in goal on Saturday. Expecting Lyon, in fact he's confirmed. He's the #1. These two met on Nov. 16th, and Sens won 5-4 in OT, but that was before Lyon had made his Wings initial start. Lyon has won 4 straight, so we're getting great value here on him and the Wings. Sens can score, sure, but they'll be in tough on Saturday. Wings need this win. Huge bounceback spot. Lyon has only given up 5 goals on 120 shots in his L5. You have to love that 1.61 GAA. We just need the DET offense to get going here, like they did when they won 5-2 in OTT on Oct 21. Wings are #2 in the NHL in GPG, and now they have Kane too. If he can find some goals DET will be dangerous. DET has a better save % too .900% to OTT's .896%. Trends, DET 5-1 L6 vs. a team with a losing record, 5-1 L6 SAT games, 4-1 L5 playing on 1-days rest. On the other side OTT are 2-4 SU L6, 2-9 L11 on the road, and the SENS are 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Eastern conf. teams. Meet me at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New Orleans opened as 3-point underdogs. For those betting on the moneyline, LA is at -115, while NOP stands at +105. The oddsmakers anticipate a close contest with an over/under set at 229.5. (Opened at 230). I'm paying the extra $5 to get the ML odds on the Lake Show. I'm good with -1 (-110 too) if you wish. Totally up to you. The Lakers look like they are a totally different team this season. They are going to feed off a Las Vegas home court advantage for starters. The LA faithful will no doubt make the trek to Sin City for a long weekend of hoops and gambling. They're overall game, and their defense is playing at a really high level right now. They are allowing opposing teams to shoot just 45 perfect from the field. New Orleans has looked much different in their road situation, as they have struggled on the road going just 4-6. I know this is a neutral court, but it'll be heavy LA, I'm pretty sure. As a team overall, they have struggled to slow teams down. They rank just 17th in the NBA in total defense and this Lakers side has far too many weapons for them to keep up with. This is going to be the kind of game where Los Angeles can push the tempo on New Orleans. The Lakers are playing at a high level right now, while the Pelicans are just trying to find consistency on their end. I'd like to make the case that the inaugural NBA In Season Tournament has been a resounding success. It's injected a "win and you're in" excitement into important games, creating a unique viewing experience. The different court aesthetics have added to the enjoyment. Overall, a big thumbs up to the NBA. Hop on & meet me at the window! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ML Play | |||||||
12-07-23 | Patriots v. Steelers OVER 29.5 | 21-18 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
OVER 30 Thursday night we get another snoozefest of a football game in the NFL. (I'll be watching NBA tournament tonight in case you're wondering!) It's the (2-10, 2-10 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) New England Patriots taking on the (7-5, 7-5 ATS, 4-3 HOME) Pittsburgh Steelers. Odds opened with the Steelers at -6.5, it's now -5.5. The O/U opened at 32.5, it's now 30. I sat on this for the longest time, as you know I usually lock in plays for NFL early in the week. But I kept coming back to this one. 30 is an exceptionally LOW total for an NFL game. I'm of the opinion both teams will have more offensive success than expected. My fingers are also crossed for some quick scores or maybe some red zone turnovers. Hell even a defensive TD will help the cause here. I know the Patriots just got shutout, but how often does that happen in the NFL? The weather was the main reason there. Is the Steelers defense really that formidable? I don't think so, and therefore I'm expecting some offense tonight. We’re on this Over on TNF as the Pats and Steelers battle it out. We get a lower total here and the public continues to pound this under. Obviously we have two teams who aren’t known to light up the scoreboard, but there’s a couple situational angles here on this total. Pittsburgh is going with Mitchell Trubisky, who does have some success in his past. With Pickett down, this is his chance to lead a team to a potential playoff spot and prove his worth. He did toss a TD in the loss to Arizona, a game in which Pittsburgh allowed 24 points. The Steelers defense has regressed a bit from their start this season. They have struggled at times with allowing the big play and the Patriots are going to find some success here with throwing the ball. New England has been a mess defensively themselves. The rain aided them last week, but they won’t slow teams down. Pittsburgh will run all over them and set themselves up for many scoring chances. The Steelers / Patriots rivalry has been played 34x (5 playoff), Steelers have won 16, NE 18. Last 5 matchups. 9/18/22 NE 17 PIT 14 in PITT, 9/8/2019 PIT 3 NE 33 in NE. 12/16/18 NE 10 PIT 17 in PIT. 12/17/17 NE 27 PIT 24 in PIT. Last one, 1/22/2017 PIT 17 NE 36 in NE. Injuries of note: Pickett (PIT), N. Harris (?) (PIT), Stevenson (NE) Weather: Low 40's 5% Chance of Rain, 5-7 mph winds. Trends: You won't find any. If you want some action tonight play this one small. Enjoy the ride on our money train tonight. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 6* NFL O/U Play | |||||||

The action faces off at 8 pm ET in Capital One Arena, Washington, DC, and you can catch it on ESPN. The opening odds for this game show the Stars at -135 on the (ML), while the Capitals are at +110. When it comes to the Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS), the Stars are at -1.5 (+180), and the Capitals are at +1.5 (-225). The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 6 goals. Dallas is coming off a 5-4 loss as a road underdog against the Panthers on Wednesday, while the Capitals are on a 2-game losing streak after a tough 6-0 shutout by the Yotes Monday. The Caps have finally returned home after a lengthy road trip out west. Home Cookin'! They have played the better portion of their hockey at home this year. Washington matches up very well with Dallas. They can match the attack and aren’t afraid to play a physical game. Situationally, this makes sense on Washington too. they are going to bounce back after getting wrecked against Arizona last time out. The Caps are valuable at plus money here. Washington is at the benefit of getting the Stars on a back to back here. Dallas had to play a hard fought game against the Panthers on Wednesday that will certainly result in some fatigue here for them. Combine that with a couple injury issues and the Stars are in a bit of trouble. Tyler Sequin is likely out, which is going to take an away a big piece of this Stars side. We also get Wedgewood in net for the Stars in this one. He starts every 4th or 5th game it seems like for the Stars. CHECK. Long spells without game action is just what we want to see. For WASH Lindgren isn't a bad netminder, its just that Kuemper is better. Don't be surprised if Lindgren and Kuemper split the workload a little bit more here now seeing as how Lindgren can get the job done too. Trends, Dallas are 2-5 SU in their L7, on the other side the Caps are. Washington is going to rediscover their winning ways tonight. Things are just set up for them here. I expect a W from them. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NHL ML Play | |||||||
12-07-23 | Portland v. North Dakota State -2 | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
North Dakota State -2 In college basketball action, we've got North Dakota State (5-4, 3-4 ATS) facing off against Portland (5-4, 4-3 ATS) this Thursday at 8:00 PM ET. The showdown takes place at the Scheels Center in Fargo, ND. The Bison hold a slim 2-point favor over the Pilots, with the total points expected to reach 149.5. For those who prefer Moneyline bets, the odds stand at North Dakota State -137 and Portland +115. We're playing North Dakota State here on Thursday night. The Bison are going to pick apart this Portland defense here. Portland comes in allowing 78 points per game, which ranks in the bottom tier of the entire NCAA. The Pilots are giving up nearly a 40% rate to the opposition behind the arc as well, something NDSU is going to feed off of. The Bison come into play in this one, shooting at 38% from behind the arc, which is 44th in the nation. That ultimately will be the difference here. Portland struggles on the defensive end and will allow plenty of open looks. The Bison can create shooting lanes, while also attacking the paint. Portland simply doesn't have the speed to keep up. We're backing the better team, who is going to pick apart Portland on the defensive end. Trends, Portland are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-5 SU in their L5 on the road, lastly, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 in December. On the other side, North Dakota State are 7-0 SU in their L7 at home.

UNDER 6.5 BOTH Confirmed Goalies: Talbot (11-4-1, 1.96 GAA, 0.930 SV%, 1SO) vs. Montembeault (6-3-1, 2.66 GAA, 0.913 SV%) In Thursday's matchup, the Los Angeles Kings (15-4-3) are heading to the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to take on the Montreal Canadiens (11-11-3). The Kings are the favorites with odds of -226, while the Canadiens are the underdogs with odds of +183. The over/under for this game is set at 6.5. The Kings are coming off a 4-3 road victory against Columbus in their previous game, showing some strength on the road. On the other hand, the Canadiens secured a 4-2 win at home against the Kraken in their last outing. In net, Talbot has had an outstanding season, performing as one of the NHL's top five goaltenders. In his last five games, he's allowed just seven goals out of 138 shots. Meanwhile, the Canadiens find themselves at the lower end of the rankings in terms of both goals scored per game and shots taken. For the Habs, Montembeault will start tonight. He's on a 3-game win streak, allowing just 7 goals on 94 shots (.926 SV%) over that stretch. LA can score (I know, I know) but I think this game will see some good defense being played. Just have to hope there's no cheap goals and that the refs keep their whistles out of their mouths. Some trends, the total has gone UNDER in 11 of LA's L14, plus the UNDER has hit in 4 of the Kings' L5 when playing on the road against Montreal, and in 4 of their L5 vs. Eastern conference teams. On the other side, for the Habs, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Montreal's L6, and 7 of their L9 vs. LA. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
12-06-23 | SMU v. Arizona State -1.5 | 74-76 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
Arizona State -2 In college basketball action Wednesday night, Arizona State (5-2, 3-4 ATS) is set to host SMU (6-3, 3-5 ATS). The game will tip off at 10:00pm ET on Wednesday at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, AZ, and you can catch it on FOX Sports Network. If you're looking to bet, the moneyline odds are currently at SMU +120 and ASU -135, with the Sun Devils holding a 2.5-point advantage. The total points over/under is set at 140.5. We’re backing the Sun Devils here, laying the small number. SMU has to travel to the west coast for a late night game against a very physical ASU side. While SMU does come in with 6 wins, their record is a bit deceiving. They’ve beat up on the weaker teams on their schedule, while losing to the likes of Dayton, Wisconsin, and Texas A&M. Arizona State fits right into those teams and should be able to dictate a lot here. SMU isn’t going to overpower anyone. They’re only putting up 74 points per game and they are going to struggle to hit that number. Arizona State is averaging just 65 points against per game, which is a result from them playing a ton of high pressured defense and forcing turnovers. They’ve rattled off 3 straight wins and the confidence right now is at a high for ASU. They can use their physicality to win the battle in the paint and not allow anything easy on the offensive end for SMU. This is just too low of a number in this spot. Trends, SMU is 0-6 SU in their L6 on the road. ASU is 5-1 SU in their L6, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Plus they're 9-3 L12 in December. (Dating back a couple years of course) Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

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

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

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

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

12-05-23 | Ducks v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -114 | 29 h 12 m | Show | |
OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Gibson (5-10, 2.80 GAA, 0.906 SV%) vs. Georgiev (13-6-1, 2.90 GAA, 0.898 SV%, 1SO) Tuesday night in Denver, Colorado, the Avalanche (15-7-2, 8-2 HOME) who are currently in the 3rd in the Western Conference face off against the Ducks (10-14, 13th in WEST, 5-5 AWAY) at Ball Arena, with the game set to start at 9:00pm ET. The Avalanche are the favorites with odds of -330, while the Ducks are the underdogs with odds of +286. The over/under for this game is set at 6.5 (-102). These two teams have quite a contrast in their Western Conference standings, making this match an interesting one. In their recent encounter on December 2, Anaheim secured a 4-3 home victory against the Avs, ultimately winning the shootout 1-0. In contrast, the Avs last game resulted in a 4-1 road loss to the Kings on December 3rd. Now, just a week later, they meet again for a rematch. Stats: Ducks 2.75 GPG, Avs 3.58 GPG, GAA Ducks 3.50, Avs 2.91 GAA. Shots: Ducks 29.45, Avs 31 SPG. Defensive Save % Ducks .890, Avs. .900.

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

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

Halton Arena on the campus of UNC Charlotte, and you can catch the action on ESPN+. Charlotte steps onto the court as the clear favorites with a 9-point advantage over the Hatters. When it comes to the moneyline, Charlotte is listed at -436, while Stetson is the underdog at +335. As for the expected total points in the game, the over/under is set at 132.5. We're on the Under here Tuesday night. These are two offenses that have struggled mightily thus far into the season. Stetson comes in ranking 183rd in total offense as they've struggled to find any sort of consistency this season. Luckily for them, their defense has been solid for the most part coming into play. They have held opposing teams to under 40% shooting from the field, which ranks 53rd in the entire nation. Charlotte has been even worse on the offensive end. They in fact, have ranked near the bottom of the entire NCAA, putting up 65.9 points per game. Like Stetson, they have leaned on their defense. They rank 21st in the NCAA, allowing 61.9 points per game. We're going to see a very slow pace and both of these teams lean on the defensive side. With that in mind, this has the makings of a very low scoring game. Stetson has ONLY put up 60 3x, and Charlotte has only put up over 70 2x. Under is 4-1-1 in 49ers L6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
12-05-23 | George Mason v. Tennessee UNDER 138 | 66-87 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 48 m | Show | |
UNDER 138 Late add for me on this one today. In a matchup set for Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN, it's George Mason (7-1, 5-2 ATS, 1-0 AWAY) taking on #13 Tennessee (4-3, 3-4 ATS, 2-0 HOME) with tip-off at 6:30 p.m. ET. ESPN+ is where to watch this. Let's look at the odds for George Mason vs. Tennessee: Moneyline (ML) has George Mason at +1000 and Tennessee at -2100. When it comes to the spread (ATS), Tennessee is favored by -15.5 (-110), and the initial Over/Under (O/U) is set at 134.5. George Mason is on a hot streak, boasting four W's and consistently hitting the OVER in their recent games. However, they face a formidable Tennessee squad known for their defensive prowess. Despite the public's preference for the OVER, the line has shifted favorably for those looking at the UNDER. With this in mind, I'm leaning towards the UNDER for this matchup. While GM is 171st in the nation at 75PPG, TENN is close as well at 76 PPG (151st). What I like is the defense they both play. GM 55th in the Nation at 64 PPG, and TENN is 93rd at 67PPG. TENN is also one of the better shot blocking teams in the country, and can really get after it on the glass. when looking at GM's performance, the total points scored in 7 of their last 8 games against SEC opponents have been lower than expected. Additionally, when the Volunteers play at home and face a team with a strong road record, the games tend to go under the total points line, with a perfect 4-0 record. Moreover, the Volunteers have been on a hot streak at home lately, with 7 out of their last 9 home games going under the total. On the other hand, when the Patriots hit the road and face a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600, the games tend to stay under, as seen in their 7-1 record. Furthermore, when the Patriots play on the road against teams with winning home records, they also favor the under, boasting a 6-1 record. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

You can catch the action on ESPN+. In their previous game, the Coyotes secured a solid 4-1 victory at home against the Blues on December 2. On the other hand, Washington faced a tough loss, falling 4-1 on the road against the Knights. This is their first matchup this season. Caps are 2-2 on this road trip. Yotes aren't afraid to get tough with anyone, and they're a team that will compete for 60 minutes game in and game out. On Saturday they had 7 players get on the scoresheet, so they're getting contributions from up and down their lineup. I'm backing the Coyotes tonight. on the ML. Opening odds had the Yotes -123, Caps +102, and O/U set at 6. The Yotes are 5-4-1 vs. the Caps in their L10. They're scoring 3.3 GPG to the Caps 2.48 GPG, and each team is averaging 27 SPG. The Yotes have a definite PP advantage at this point of the season too. The Yotes are 4-1 SU L5, and 4-2 SU L6 vs. Eastern conference teams. I'm on the Yotes tonight to get this done, in what could be a low scoring, tight checking game. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||

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

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

Packers +6 On Sunday night football on NBC we get the (8-3, ATS) KC Chiefs taking on the suddenly relevant Green Bay Packers (5-6). Chasing down a WC spot in the NFC. 8:20pm ET kickoff from Lambeau Field. Packers are +6pt dogs. The O/U total is set at 42.5. Straight up bettors will get the Chiefs at -245. The Packers are +205 on the ML. We're backing the home side in this one. No matter what, it's always going to be tough for visiting teams to come into Lambeau Field, let alone a night game. This place will be rocking. During the initial two months of the season, Jordan Love's trial appeared to be a big flop, and folks in Green Bay were in danger of losing their jobs. Luckily, things have turned around, and now Love is performing like one of the top NFL quarterbacks, saving everyone's employment. I'm on the Jordon Love train. The kid is starting to look much better and I think at home on Sunday Night Football it's going to be his coming out party. On the season now Love is 225/372 for a 60% completion %, He's chucked for 2599 yards, 19TD/10 INT's for an 87QBR. To the eye test he's improving nearly every game. Sure he has some hiccups in his game, but what young QB doesn't? On the whole the Packers looked like a different team on Thanksgiving, and with 10 days to rest and get ready for Coach Andy, I think they'll respond. The Packers offense has put up at least 375 yards in four straight games with back to back impressive wins over Detroit and the Chargers. This isn't the first time Love has played the Chiefs. His first start in 2021 he came in and started for Rogers when he was taken out by a positive Covid-19 test. Remember that? LOL. This marks the Chiefs’ first regular-season game in GB since 2015, and that means it will be Mahomes' first time in Wisconsin. Hopefully the winter is NASTY. KC is coming off a 31-17 triumph over the Raiders. Kansas City will have their hands full with this Packers offense. Combine that with the Packers holding the 8th best pass defense in the NFL and Mahomes will have some frustrations from the start. The Packers can keep this one close. With the energy from the crowd, they will have their chances to seize momentum throughout. Trends. Packers are 15-0 in December games during LaFleur’s tenure, and Green Bay are 8-4 ATS in their L12 played on a Sunday. KC are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games against Green Bay. I'm riding the Cheese here on Sunday night. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-03-23 | 49ers v. Eagles OVER 46.5 | 42-19 | Win | 100 | 134 h 3 m | Show | |
OVER 46.5 As prime-time a matchup as we will see this week when two teams that met in the NFC Championship last year lock horns this week. The San Francisco 49ers on 10 days rest (8-3, 6-5 ATS, 4-2 AWAY) take on the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1, 7-2-2 ATS, 5-0 HOME), and I'm expecting points. PHI 28PPG, SF 28PPG, 49ers D #1 15PPG, but Phili's D #20 22PPG, Both teams top 5 in the Red Zone, both teams top 10 in Total Yds per game, Total yards per play, Rush Yds per game, and both Top 15 in Passing yards per game. Eagles have put up 28+ in home games, Niners seem to be able to get 8 yards on EVERY play they run from scrimmage. This game should produce plenty of back and forth action. Philadelphia continues to be the team to beat in the NFL. They had another come from behind win as they took down the Bills in OT last week. However, their defense has far too many question marks. They were on the field for 92 plays last week and now they'll get a very physical and talented 49ers team that they have to deal with. Making this Over even more lucrative, both of these offenses sit tied for 3rd in points per game. They come in averaging 28.2 PPG each as the playmakers on each side are top tier. Philadelphia has scored over 28 points in every home game this season as well. Knowing this, the 49ers aren't going to be afraid to go for big plays themselves. Given the explosiveness of these two sides, we are going to get production and a lot of big plays. I even think it could go the same way the Cowboys / Seahawks game went on Thursday night. Let's have NO punts again. Punters are over-rated anyways. OR, I'm expecting a game like the Bills/Eagles game turned out, good weather or bad weather these offenses can move the ball. Some trends that make me like my pick even more. OVER is 5-1 in Eagles L6 home games, 4-1 in Eagles L5 games after allowing 150 yards rushing in their previous matchup, and the OVER is 4-1 in Niners L5 in Week 13. (Random I know) I'm forecasting points in this one. You know what to do. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play | |||||||
12-03-23 | Browns v. Rams -3.5 | 19-36 | Win | 100 | 118 h 27 m | Show | |
Rams -3.5 The Rams (5-6, 5-5-1 ATS, 2-3 HOME) are set to face the Cleveland Browns (7-4, 6-5 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. You can catch the action on FOX. The odds have the Rams favored by -3.5 ATS, with opening moneyline lines at Rams (-184) and Browns (+155). The over/under total is set at 39.5 points. H2H the Rams are 5-1 in their L6 matchups. Averaging 22PPG, to Cleveland's 13PPG. They last met 9/22/2019 a 20-13 LAR win. These two have played 24x thru the years, the Rams have a 13-11 advantage. In their recent matchup last week, the Browns had a tough outing, losing 29-12 to the Broncos, and it felt like they weren't really in the game, especially after Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion. While the Browns boast a formidable defense, it's important to remember that having a top-notch defense doesn't guarantee victory every time. Without a noteable starting QB the NFL is seeing the Browns are just an ordinary team with no real playmakers to hit home. On the flip side, the Rams are coming off a convincing 37-14 victory over the Cardinals. Matthew Stafford was on fire, throwing for 229 yards, 4 TD's, and 1 INT, completing 25/33 passes. The Rams also welcomed back Kyren Williams, and if you, like me, had him on your fantasy bench, you missed out on his stellar performance. He rushed for 143 yards on 16 carries and added 6 receptions for 61 yards and 2 TD's. With Kupp and Atwell also contributing, the Rams are suddenly back in the playoff conversation. The big question for the Browns this Sunday is who will be their starting quarterback. It's an uncertainty that adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup. I'm also unsure of Garrett is going to be, he looked really banged up on Sunday. In any case, if we see Joe Flacco at QB on Sunday I'll be licking my chops. So will Aaron Donald. Some trends to see here, the Browns are 1-5 ATS vs. the Rams L6, and are 1-5 SU in their L6 vs. LAR, plus they're 3-12 SU in their L15 vs. the NFC west teams. Last one, Browns are 1-5 ATS in their L6 after allowing LESS than 150 yds passing in prior game. The Rams are glad December is here, they're 7-1 ATS in their L8 in December. Sunday I'm backing the Lambs. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-03-23 | Panthers v. Bucs UNDER 37 | 18-21 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 52 m | Show | |
UNDER 37 Sunday the Carolina Panthers (1-10, 1-8-2 ATS, 0-6 AWAY) visit the Tampa Bay Bucs (4-7, 7-4 ATS, 2-3 HOME) in NFC South action. I'm with the PUBLIC on this one. How does this game go OVER? Will a team with a rookie QB and an entirely new offensive coaching staff be able to put any pieces in place to suddenly resurrect this offense? Young has 1877 yards on the season, a 5.4 YPC, and averaging 187 YPG thru the air. He's been picked 8x, sacked 40x and has a 61% completion percentage. Hubbard is struggling to run behind an O-line that can't get anyone out of the way. He's got 450 yards, averages 3.8 YPC, and only has 2 TD's. Miles Sanders isn't any better (he fumbles too). Thielen started the season looking like a pro-bowler, but last week was brutal. 1 catch 2 yards. Hardly inspiring. He did have 8 for 74 vs. Dallas the week before, but this is painful. Now for the Bucs. The one bright spot with the Panthers is that it seems like their defense is still playing hard. That has to be a win. So I think the Panthers can actually keep the Bucs down in this one. We don't know if Mayfield is going to play at this point either. His ankle is hurting, but the MRI was negative. Last week he was 20/30 for 199 2 TD's and 1 INT. I'm secretly hoping we see Kyle Trask this week! White, Evans, Godwin present issues for any offense, but if the main man is hobbled I'm not sure how good they can be. The Bucs average 19PPG, the Panthers 15PPG. The Bucs D is pretty good too only allowing 20PPG. (Panthers 26PPG). Neither team is good in the red zone. (CAR 19th, TB 27th), and on 3rd down they both struggle too. CAR 20th, TB 15th. When they last played 1/1/23 we saw a 30-24 scoreline, but you know who the QB's were in that one, this is much different. On 10/23/22 the Panthers won 21-3, so there's that. Trends, Under is 5-0 in the Panthers L5, 4-1 L5 vs. NFC South teams, and 5-0 in Panthers L5 vs. a team with a losing record. While the UNDER is also 4-0 in the Bucs L4 home games, and 4-0 in their L4 games following an ATS loss, and lastly the UNDER has hit in 7 of the L9 TB matchups. I'm banking on the defenses on Sunday. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play | |||||||
12-03-23 | Broncos +3.5 v. Texans | 17-22 | Loss | -105 | 119 h 27 m | Show | |
Broncos +3.5 On Sunday, the Broncos (6-5, 2-2 AWAY, 4-6-1 ATS) are set to face off against the Texans (6-5, 4-2 HOME, 5-6 ATS) at NRG Stadium, with the game scheduled to kick off at 1pm ET CBS for TV. The initial odds for the Moneyline (ML) indicated the Broncos at +135 and the Texans at -160. The Texans were also initially favored by -3 points, and the Over/Under (O/U) for the game was set at 46.5 points. Nice matchup between two AFC contenders?! I didn't see that coming! Last game out the Broncos kept their hot streak alive with a conclusive 29-12 W over the Browns at home. Call me crazy but I'm actually buying what Russell Wilson is selling of late. (His stats while not AMAZING me are good enough to deliver wins, and that's all I can ask for right now) Maybe the Broncs have Sean Payton's magic touch to thank? He's clearly having an effect on the team, and isn't washed up yet as so many were saying after the way DVR started the year. Maybe it's the run game. The Perine/Williams combo seems like a match made in heaven as a 1-2 punch. More than likely though its the Broncos defense. The DVR pass rush is all world currently. These guys are really getting home. As a result the Broncs are a TURNOVER machine. 20 takeaways now (has them 4th in the NFL). Ball Hawk U! Stroud will have to have his head on a swivel in this one. On the other side the Texans are one of the surprise teams this year, but I'm not convinced yet. They were good, but not good enough to take out the Jags on Sunday and lost 24-21. The Jags got some revenge for the earlier loss to Houston (37-17 Week 3). The Broncos will have a gameplan ready for Dell and Stroud though, there's plenty of film on these guys now, and I don't foresee too many surprises. Past matchups: 9/18/22 Denver 16, Houston 9. 12/8/19 Denver 38, Houston 24. Since 2007 8 matchups, Denver leads 5-3. Some trends, Texans are 1-4 ATS in their L5 after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Plus, the Texans are 1-4 ATS in their L5. On the visiting side, Denver are 4-1 ATS in their L5, lastly, they're 5-0 SU L5, 4-1 SU L5 vs. Texans. My money is on the Broncos coming thru and covering the 3.5 on Sunday. I trust Sean Payton in this spot to put just enough wrinkles in to keep the rookie QB on his toes all day long. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play | |||||||
12-02-23 | Rockets v. Lakers -4.5 | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Lakers -4.5 Tonight in LA the Houston Rockets (8-8, 10-4-2 ATS, 0-7 AWAY) take on the LA Lakers (11-9, 8-12 ATS, 7-2 HOME). Tip off is at 10:30pm ET, from the Crypto Arena. Here are the latest odds: Moneyline (ML): Rockets +170, Lakers -210. Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -5.5 (-105), and the initial Over/Under (O/U) total is 222.5. Looking at their season series, it's tied 1-1. The Lakers had a tough loss, falling 133-110 to the Thunder on Thursday, not managing to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs. Houston comes in losers of their last 2. (Sure the Mavs/Nuggets are pretty good teams) but they gave the Lakers coaching staff some pretty good blue print for what it takes to make the Rockets look less than stellar. Houston can defend the 3, but they have problems defending the glass. The LA team is back home after a 4-game road trip where they won 2 and lost 2. Their main focus in December is to find consistency. Tonight's game depends a lot on how well Davis performs. He needs to step up on offense and also make sure to contain Alperen Sengun effectively. HELLO!!!! Anthony Davis. Dude is going to have a game tonight. He has too, especially if the Lakers supporting cast keep missing games. (Hachimura, Hayes, Reddish, Vanderbilt, and Vincent). LeBron has been in great form and is favored to score over 24.5 points against the Rockets. I think he goes for 35+! Stats: Lakers come in averaging 113PPG, HOU 110PPG, LAL 49% FG%, HOU 47%, 3PT HOU 35%, LAL 33%, FT LAL 76%, HOU 75%, REB. LAL 44RPG, HOU 43. H2H L10 games Lakers 7-3 SU, 3-7 ATS. On the road Houston's defensive rating is 26th in the NBA. Trends: Rockets 2-5 SU L7, 3-13 SU L16 vs. Lakers, 0-7 L7 on the road, 0-7 L7 vs. Los Angeles, on the other side, LAL 8-4 SU L12, LAL 4-2 L6 Saturday games. Saturday night in LA?! Sign me up.

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

12-02-23 | Michigan v. Iowa OVER 34 | 26-0 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 56 m | Show | |
Over 34 It's the Big Ten Championship Game. A neutral site game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN at 8pm ET on Saturday. Iowa (10-2, 6-5-1 ATS) vs. Michigan (12-0, 6-5-1 ATS) for all the marbles. Oh, and Coach Jim is back on the sidelines for Michigan. UM is a 21.5pt favorite. The O/U is set at 34. Get your popcorn ready. Last game out Michigan took down Ohio State 30-24, before that they beat Maryland 31-24. On the other side Iowa got past Nebraska 13-10 last week, and before that a 15-13 win over Illinois. These two met up on 10/1/22, a 27-14 Michigan win. Before that on 12/4/21, a 42-3 Michigan win. This total is comically low for a Conference Title Game. But it does come with good reason. However, this game can feature more scoring than the oddsmakers think. The Wolverines come in off a 31 point performance against the Buckeyes as they are in such a nice groove right now. They also get a huge spark with Jim Harbaugh returning to the sidelines. This Wolverines offense has played much better with him on the sidelines and they can produce a lot of big plays against the Hawkeyes. Iowa is going to have to open things up themselves to have any chance here. They have prided themselves on the defensive end and here they're going to have to take chances. This is the kind of game where one big turnover or a broken play can open the game up. With a lower total like this, both teams have the chance to strike early and give us a good chance at this one going over. This isn't your typical matchup. Michigan can put up a bunch of points (13th in the Nation on offense 37PPG, Iowa can't (I don't think 18PPG), but they can run the ball and keep the score low and try to control the TOP. (4th in the Nation on D 12PPG) CAN THEY? is the $1000000 question. My money says NO. Two of the top defensive teams in the Nation and we're looking OVER. You have to love football! Trends, the total has gone OVER in 7 of the L8 for Michigan, and in 5 of Michigan's L6 in December. Plus the OVER has hit for 6-0-1 ATS in the Wolverines L7 following an ATS win. For Iowa, the total doesn't go over much, but it did go OVER in 6 of their L9 games vs. East Division teams in the Big Ten. Michigan has allowed 24, 24, 15, and 13 the L4 games. We're hoping Iowa can score a couple TD's here to help us out. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF O/U Play | |||||||
12-02-23 | Red Wings v. Canadiens UNDER 6.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 50 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Husso (7-4-1, 3.43 GAA, 0.892 SV%) vs. Montembeault (5-3-1, 2.73 GAA, 0.910 SV%) On Saturday, we've got a showdown on the ice as Detroit (12-7-3, 4-4-1 AWAY) faces off against the Montreal Canadiens (10-11-2, 5-7 HOME) at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, kicking off at 7:00 PM ET. Taking a look at the NHL Betting Lines for Saturday, the Red Wings are the favorites at -153, while the Canadiens are the underdogs at +129. The opening Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 6.5. Notably, on November 30th, the Red Wings had a commanding 5-1 victory over the Hawks on their home turf, while the Canadiens had a less fortunate outcome with a 5-1 loss to the Panthers. This matchup promises some excitement but we're betting on the UNDER. Habs are 29th scoring at 2.69 GPG, Wings 4th at 3.6 GPG. Wings on D allow 2.90 GPG, Habs 3.4 GPG. Both are bottom 18 in the league in shots and shots against. For Montreal, Montembeault and Jake Allen have been sharing duties this season, but Monte is currently on a 2-game win streak. He made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over CBUS on WED. He's won 3 of his L4. And hasn't allowed more than 3 goals in about 12 days. There are Jake Allen trade rumors circling, and Monte just inked a new 3-year contract, so he's clearly the "guy". Youngster Cayden Primeau is also in the mix. The Habs went 0/6 on the PP last game out, and those types of struggles will help us here with the UNDER on Saturday. For the Wings, in Husso last action he stopped 38/41 vs. NYR, but the game ended for him with a 3-2 loss. He's not been a liability for sure, and has shown improvement. Trends: The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit's L6. For Montreal, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of their L5, and 6 of their L7 vs. the Red Wings. Plus the Under is 4-1 in Canadiens L5 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their prior game. The last time they met was 11/9/23 a 3-2 Habs win in OT. Before that 4/4/23 a 5-0 Wings win. I'm backing the UNDER on Saturday. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play | |||||||
12-02-23 | Wolves v. Hornets +5.5 | 123-117 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Hornets +5.5 Minnesota (14-4, 5-3 AWAY, 10-8 ATS) clashes with Charlotte (6-11, 3-6 HOME, 7-10 ATS) tonight at the Spectrum Center, in Charlotte, NC with tip-off at 5pm ET. Examining the initial NBA odds reveals the Moneyline (ML): Timberwolves -250 | Hornets +195, (ATS): Timberwolves -5.5 (-115), and the Over/Under (O/U): 220.5. This marks the first face-off of the season between these two teams, with Charlotte claiming W's in both matchups in 2022/23. 121-113 covering +7, and 110-108, covering +6.5. In their most recent games, Minnesota secured its third consecutive win, 101-90 against Utah Thursday. Charlotte pulled off a stunning 129-128 victory over the Nets, covering as a 9.5-point underdog. As is customary in NBA matchups, monitoring injury reports is crucial. Currently, Gobert is questionable (recently added to the pre-game injury report), while Edwards is doubtful. Meanwhile, McDaniels is out, and McLaughlin is also sidelined. On Charlotte's side, Ball, Martin, and Ntilikina are unavailable, while Miller and Richards' status remains uncertain. If Gobert sits I really LOVE this play. With him in the lineup I just "like it a lot!" LOL. Gobert has played 18 games so far this season and he's putting up 12PPG, 11RPG, and 2.3 Blocks per game. Not easy stats to replace. (in fact they won't) For Charlotte Terry Rozier is on fire of late. 7x 3's at Brooklyn, and he's 70 points in the L3 after being out for a couple weeks. Charlotte have won 3 of 5 and are playing some good ball right now. They average 113PPG, to MINN's 112PPG, of course Minni is the #1 defensive team in the league so it won't be easy. (GOBERT) Where they can make their mark is on the offensive glass, they're #8 in the NBA. They also don't turn the ball over much, certainly not as much as MINN does #17 to #25. Trends: MINN are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and are 0-6-1 ATS in their L7 games against Charlotte. Plus they're 1-6 SU in their L7 games vs. Charlotte. Charlotte are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Fingers crossed Rudy sits tonight. Play Charlotte ATS tonight. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama OVER 54 | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 60 m | Show | |
OVER 54 2023 SEC Championship game time! The Georgia Bulldogs (12-0, 4-7-1 ATS) take on the Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1, 8-4 ATS) in a battle of conference heavy's. UG/Bama head-to-head stats, Bama has won 7 out of the last 8 since 2008. It might surprise you, but this Saturday marks the 4th SEC Championship clash between these teams since 2012, with Bama taking three of those. However, UG had their moment last year, securing a 33-18 win in the 2022 National Championship Game. When I see something continually happening I usually tend to bet on it. Case in point. The OVER in the SEC Championship game has cashed 12/14 times thru the years. UG's L5 games, 31, 38, 52, 30, 43. Average of 38.8PPG. For Bama 27, 66, 49, 42, 34. Average of 43.6PPG. Both teams have some nice OVER's on their 2023 resume's so I'm going back to the well here on Saturday. These two teams going back and forth have become the norm and we should see a lot of fireworks here. Looking at Alabama first, they clicked in the middle of the season and have taken off since then. However, it took a miracle for them to win in the Iron Bowl, but that is what this offense can do. They finished the season averaging over 35 points per game as the offense was able to strike for big plays constantly. Georgia isn't the same as they've been in the past seasons either. They have struggled at times on the defensive end, which bodes well for us here. They also have been a dominant team on the offensive end per usual. They are averaging 39.6 points themselves as they will come downhill at opposing defenses. This has the makings of a game that is wide open from start to finish. Neither team is shy about what they want to do and they aren't scared to take chances. Trends, Over has hit in 6 of UG's L9, and in 4 of their L5 in December. For Bama the OVER has hit in 5 of their L5, and in 9 of the L11 when they play UG. Bama's play OVERS on Saturday too. 7 of the L8 SAT games go high! Get my drift? Let's watch some offense. Hop on!

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

12-02-23 | Miami-OH +7.5 v. Toledo | 23-14 | Win | 100 | 113 h 46 m | Show | |
Miami-OH +7.5 Get ready for the 2023 MAC Conference Championship showdown! It's the (10-2) Miami (OH) RedHawks facing off against the (11-1) Toledo Rockets. The game is set for Saturday, December 2nd, at 12:00 ET, happening at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Let's talk numbers: The initial ATS Betting Line had Toledo favored by -8, but it's now adjusted to -7.5 as of Monday. On the Moneyline, Miami (OH) stands at +246, while Toledo is at -315. The Total is set at O/U 46.5. No matchup last year, but they did play each other earlier this season, and Toledo managed to secure a 21-17 victory. Miami owns a 28-23-1 series lead all time in this series. The first game played in 1936. The Redhawks are catching too many points in this spot. The MAC was as close as ever here in 2023 as it seemed like there were more teams than usual who were bunched together at times. However, Miami OH and Toledo were the two stand outs and the Red Hawks are right there with the Rockets. Miami OH comes in winners of 4 straight and their defense was easily one of the best in the conference. They rank 23rd in the entire nation in total defense giving up 322 yards per game. They come into this MAC Championship allowing 16.3 points per game. The Redhawks defense is going to be the difference maker here. They aren't going to allow anything easy and have a revenge factor after falling 21-17 to them earlier this season. That game was there for the taking and Miami wants this to be lower scoring. The RedHawks have been catching my eye lately. They'll have to prove to me that they CANNOT hang with Toledo, I think they can. Looking at the trends, it's clear Miami-OH have got some momentum. They've got a strong 9-2 ATS record in their L11 games and an impressive 10-1 SU record during that same stretch. So, my pick for this one is the underdog to cover the spread at +8. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play | |||||||
12-01-23 | St. Mary's v. Boise State +3.5 | 60-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Boise State +3.5 I've got a last-minute addition for you. After some number-crunching and waiting for team updates, let's talk about Saint Mary’s (3-4, 2-4 ATS) going up against Boise State (3-3, 1-5 ATS) this Friday at 10:30 PM ET. A neutral court game at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls, ID. You can catch the game on Fox Sports. Saint Mary’s is the favorite by 3.5 points, and the initial game total (O/U) is set at 130. These two haven't met since 12/6/14 a BSU 82-71 win over SMC. For those of you who like to bet on college basketball, this matchup will be one worth staying up for. We’re backing Boise here, with the points. The Broncos take on a Gaels team that has already dropped 4 games this season. This side has taken a step back to start the season as they’ve struggled on both ends of the floor. The latest was a 78-71 loss to Utah in a game where they just seemed to have no rhythm. The Gaels have only scored 71 points per game, which isn’t going to win many games against the competition they’ve dealt with. Boise is a physical team and they are giving up just 68 points a game. This is the kind of matchup that favors them given the defensive side. It’ll be a slow tempo and one where they don’t allow any sort of rhythm for this Gaels offense. Trends, Gaels are 1-4 ATS in their L5 neutral site games, plus they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games, and they're 1-4 SU too. The Broncos are 15-2 SU in their L17 vs. WCC teams, and they're 18-2 SU in their L20 in December. Back the Broncos tonight in Idaho. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play | |||||||
12-01-23 | Connecticut v. Kansas UNDER 148 | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show | |
UNDER 148 What a matchup in this edition of the Big East / Big 12 Battle. The defending National Champs in Lawrence, KS to take on the Jayhawks. Does it get any better on a Friday night if you're a College Hoops fan? The #4 UConn Huskies (7-0, 4-3 ATS) vs. the #5 Kansas Jayhawks (6-1, 3-4 ATS). Tip off is at 9pm ET on ESPN. With some nice wins under their belt already early in the season (Longhorns, Hoosiers) UConn seems to be in mid-season form already. These guys can shoot from anywhere, and they're beasts on the boards. KU only has the one real blemish on their season so far. It came in Hawaii so I'll forgive the kids. They are in Kansas. They're out of their element being in Hawaii, bikini's, beaches, they're kids. I'll let it go! LOL Marquette got the better of them. Contrasting styles in this one too, as KU is all about run-n-gun, while UConn slows it down. I love UConn's pace of play, it suits them to a tee, and it will serve us well as we play this UNDER on Friday night. Lots of slow possessions, and build up play, lots of passes, and then a high % shot. That's the UConn way. Stats: UCONN PPG 12th 88.7, KU 67th 81.3, PTS ALL (DEF) UCONN 60.6 16th, KU 64.7 67th in the Nation. KU is the best shooting team in the Nation at 53%, UConn 13th 51%, both grab a TON of steals (7pg each) and both are TOP 60 in the Nation on the glass. My model has the total a full 8-10 points under where Vegas puts this line. Trends, the UNDER has hit in 4 of the L5 KU games, UNDER is 6-1 in KU's L7 following an ATS loss, UNDER is 10-2 in KU's L12 following a SU win. On the other side the UNDER is 4-1 in UCONN's last 5 road games, and is 4-1 L5 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Back the UNDER on Friday night. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

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

12-01-23 | Wizards v. Magic -11 | 125-130 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Magic -11 After last night's 0-2 showing in the NBA, two bad beats I might say, I'm looking at this game tonight, and hoping it's not one of those "Crazy Association Games." The Washington Wizards (3-15, 8-10 ATS, 2-9 AWAY) taking on the Orlando Magic (13-5, 15-3 ATS, 8-1 HOME) tonight. Tip-off is at 7pm ET from the AMWAY Center in Orlando, FL. Magic are -11pt favorites, the O/U is set at 238. ML bettors can get -525 on ORL, and +420 on WASH. (But why?) Magic own a 3-0 record L3 (also 3-0 ATS) vs. the Wizards. Averaging 125PPG to WASH's 113PPG in those 3. When one team keeps doing something over and over again it tells me I should bet on it. Case in point. Tonight I'm on the Magic -11. They're after a consecutive wins team record tonight. They last won 9 straight in 2010/11. Two days ago Orlando whooped the Wizards 139-120, so we have some recent matchup data to work off of, and work off it we will. Wizards have LOST 10/11. Sure Fultz and Carter Jr. are still OUT tonight, but look at the guys stepping up and playing productive minutes. Suggs, & Anthony combined with what Wagner and Banchero is doing is almost unfair. I'm 80% sure Banchero (Ankle) plays tonight, but I'm of the opinion they don't need him to get this cover tonight. Stats. Magic scoring 118PPG at home, Wiz allowing 122PPG on the road. (OUCH). Magic better on the boards, plus they grab 2-3 more steals per game than WAS. The Magic are the 3rd best defensive team in the NBA. Trends. Wizards 3-15 SU this year, allowing 125+ points in 6 of the L8 games. Where's the defense here? They're 1-10 in their L11. 5-10 ATS L15 vs. Magic, and 2-15 SU on the road L17. Magic 15-3 ATS L16 games. They just keep covering. #1 in the Association come to think of it. They're also 8-0 SU L8. 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 7-0 ATS L7 vs. Eastern Conference teams. Rollins is OUT tonight for the Wizards. No backdoor cover tonight! I'm on Orlando all the way! YOU know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
12-01-23 | New Mexico State +11.5 v. Liberty | 35-49 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 41 m | Show | |
New Mexico +11.5 The Aggies (10-3, 7-1 CUSA, 11-2 ATS, 5-2 AWAY) are coming in hot with 8 consecutive wins, facing off against the #22 Flames (12-0, 8-0 CUSA, 8-4 ATS, 7-0 HOME), who have had an even better season (undefeated) in the 2023 Conference USA Championship on Friday at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, VA. The game kicks off at 7pm ET and can be watched on CBS Sports. Weather looks to be a non-factor (mid 50's 25% chance of rain, less than 5mph winds in the forecast). This is a Liberty home game (in case you were wondering with a lot of the other games this week being neutral site) When it comes to the Moneyline (ML), New Mexico State stands at +320, while Liberty holds -425. Unless you're betting on NMSU I'd strongly avoid the ML in this one. Looking at the ATS odds, Liberty is favored at -11.5 (-110), and the total (O/U) is set at 56.5. Both teams have a ton to play for. Liberty is playing to get into the Group of 5 upper rankings of bowl teams. NMSU wants a conference title. Liberty's undefeated record makes them a solid 2-score favorite, I get that, I even respect it, a little bit, but they're only 4-4 ATS in their last 8 games. Have there been better teams ATS this season than NMSU? If you backed the Aggies this year, you did quite well, as they boast a 9-0-1 ATS record in their last 10 games, including three consecutive underdog covers, and yes, outright wins. If you're a fan, you had to love that impressive 31-10 victory over Auburn, hey? For this bet to pay off, we need New Mexico State to stay competitive and believe they can go toe-to-toe with Liberty for the full 60 minutes. They have to flip the field this time, and chip into that "TOP" that Liberty owned in the last game. The last time these two teams met, Liberty secured a 33-17 win and covered a -9.5 spread on September 9th. NMSU is 9-1 since that game. Jerry Kill's kids are having a hell of a year, and with this being their first conference title game you know the entire state is going to watching this game. It's massive in New Mexico. So, it's an intriguing matchup for all the football enthusiasts out there. Trends, New Mex are 10-0 ATS L10, 8-0 SU L8, 6-0 ATS L6 on the road, 4-1 ATS L5 in December, NMSU are also 5-1 SU L6 playing as a dog. I'm banking on NMSU going all in on this matchup. I'm all in on them. They'll cover the +11.5. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play | |||||||
11-30-23 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 228 | 114-120 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
UNDER 228 Clippers (8-9, 7-10 ATS, 3-6 AWAY) vs. Warriors (8-10, 7-11 ATS, 3-6 HOME) tonight in San Francisco. Tip off at 10pm ET start time on NBA TV. These two last played on 3/15/23 a Clippers 134-126 win. Those were much different lineups than we're seeing tonight. Clips come in with momentum off of last nights win in SacTown, Warriors rested after a loss in SacTown on Tuesday. I'm backing the UNDER tonight. Clips have won 3/5, Warriors have lost 3/5. Big minutes last night for Harden (39), George (40), Kawhi (37) Clips come into this one on a B2B, and the Warriors are 2-men down with Payton II, and Paul likely sitting. Green being back in the lineup always helps the defensive side of a Warriors game. Sure GSW plays high scoring games, but the Clippers can get after it on defense. Expect to see more Moses Moody tonight. (Right now, you're saying... Who?). LAC 19th in PPG at 112PPG, GSW 114PPG. LAC 108PPG allowed on D (6th in NBA), GSW 114PPG (20th). In my mind tonight defense "trumps' offense. Recent NBA trends indicate that the under bet has been successful for the Clippers in various scenarios. Notably, the under has hit in their L4 road games against teams with a home winning percentage below .400 and also in their L4 following a straight-up win. Additionally, the under has been a reliable choice in 9 of L10 games after scoring 100 or more previous game. UNDER has also hit in 8/9 where their opponents allowed 100 points or more in their previous game. We're going to see defense tonight. Expect LAC to slow it down. Back the UNDER. Hop on!

11-30-23 | Golden Knights +108 v. Canucks | 4-1 | Win | 108 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Golden Knights +108 Probable Goalies: Hill (9-2-2, 1.96 GAA, 0.933 SV%) vs. Demko (11-5, 2.10 GAA, 0.928 SV%) In this pick, we've got the Canucks 15-7-1 (8-1-1 HOME), facing off against the top team in their conference, the Golden Knights 14-5-4 (6-3-2-1 AWAY). They're going head to head on Thursday at 10:00 PM ET in Vancouver, BC, Canada, as Vegas continues their road trip up north. First place in the West on the line, then these two don't play again until March. Vegas is 17-8 all time vs. Vancouver, with 2 wins in OT. When these two have played in the past Vegas has averaged 3.4GPG to Van City's 2.8. VAN have won 3 of the L5, but the last matchup went Vegas' way a 4-3 win in Vancouver on 3/21/23. This year VAN have the NHL's top offense, but they're going up against the #3 defensive team in the NHL, no easy task. We all know it's easier to prevent goals, than to score them in the NHL. Vancouver recently secured a 3-1 win at home against the Ducks on Tuesday, while the Knights had a tough road battle, losing 5-4 to the Oilers, with a 2-0 shootout setback. It's starting to get tight in the Pacific division. With LA and Vancouver chasing Vegas that started the season on fire going 11-0-1 in their first 12. I can't ever count Vegas out of a game. They showed their resilience with a strong 3rd period in that game, proving they can turn things around even when they're trailing. Hill had a tough game on Monday, stopping 32 out of 34 shots, but unfortunately, the team lost 2-1 in OT to CGY. He did a great job keeping the Flames from scoring in the first two periods, but Greer managed to tie the game in the 3rd. Hill now is 3-1-1 in his last 5 games. His save percentage over the last 13 games this season is an impressive .933. On the other hand, Demko had a strong performance on Tuesday, stopping 30 out of 31 shots in a 3-1 win against the Ducks. This marked his second consecutive win, and he's currently playing the best hockey of his career. This by no means is a slam dunk for Vegas, but they are due. This is a big step up in talent for a young Canucks team. Vegas knows there are ebbs and flows in an NHL season, and they have the roster to weather down times. They're rested for this one, and will have Van City's full attention. Trends, Canucks are 1-4 in their L5 following a win. Golden Knights are 13-3 in their L16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. I'm on the Knights tonight taking it to the home team. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-30-23 | Seahawks v. Cowboys OVER 47.5 | 35-41 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Over 47.5 Tonight, the Seahawks (6-5, 5-5-1 ATS) are playing against the Cowboys (8-3, 8-3 ATS). The game is set to start at 8:15pm ET and will be available on Prime Video. The Cowboys have been doing well lately, winning five out of their last six games after a tough 42-10 loss to the 49ers on October 8.The Seahawks have lost 2 in a row and 3 of 4, 49ers and Eagles up next. This is a tough stretch no doubt, but do we really know if the Cowboys are a good team? They've won games, sure, but they've beaten 7 teams that are under .500. I think Seattle can keep the score respectable here by also getting into the endzone and the red zone. When it's all said and done we're on the Over in TNF as the Cowboys and Seahawks battle it out on Thursday night. The Cowboys are red hot right now and this team is playing like a Super Bowl contender in 2023. They are getting so much production from Pollard on the ground and also they're putting together a good pass game with Prescott. Dak has been impressive, throwing 18 TD passes and only 2 INT's during this time. The Cowboys rank 5th in total offense and 1st in scoring in the NFL coming into play. Seattle has been up and down here in 2023 and they know this is the kind of game where they have to step up on the offensive side. Look for them to open things up a bit more as they will take plenty of shots down field. Washington moved the ball last week at times against Dallas and they're going to have success doing the same in this one. Both teams played last Thursday, so they are rested and playing on a normal 7 days rest. Dallas has scored at least 33 in 4 of 5, so I'm expecting points. The Hawks will have to score them to keep up with the high flying Cowboys. I think they can. They have the weapons too. Metcalf, Lockett, Smith-Njigba, and Charbonnet are all "ball-players!" Trends, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Dallas' L5, plus the OVER has hit in 6 of the Cowboys L7 vs. NFC teams. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NFL O/U Play | |||||||
11-30-23 | Oilers -111 v. Jets | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
Oilers -111 Probable Goalies: Skinner (7-7-1, 3.31 GAA, 0.876 SV%, 1SO) vs. Hellebuyck (10-5-1, 2.61 GAA, 0.908 SV%, 1SO) Going back to the Oilers tonight. They're a team I'm starting to figure out, funny how it seems they're figuring themselves out too. They take on the Jets tonight in Winterpeg. Last game out EDM edged LV 5-4 in a shootout. A game they led most of the way only to falter late. They've now won 3 straight and seem to be getting on a roll. Which was what we all expected them to do, heading into this season. Skinner allowed four goals on 27 shots in the win. He's now won 6 of L8. He's looking better, and was fantastic in the recent 8-2 win over the Ducks. The team in front of him is playing better too, which helps a goalies GAA. McDavid had 1G, 2A, plus he grabbed the SO winner. Oil got revenge for last year’s second-round playoff loss to LV. There is momentum building in the EDM. locker room. Seeing McDavid getting hot as also gotten others going. Sam Gagner, Mattias Janmark and Evander Kane all scored last game. Even their 4th line is chipping in. Offensively, it’s contributions from so many different players as this team has threats on every line. McDavid is still the energy to this team and he’s playing at an unreal level right now. He’s got 12 points over the 3 wins and his ability to create scoring opportunities has ignited this team. Jets last played Tuesday, and are flat and have no momentum. A 2-0 loss to a really good Stars team with Oettinger getting the shutout. The Jets offense was non-existent in this one (obviously). Hellebuyck stopped 19 of 21 shots for Winnipeg, snapping his four-game winning streak. It was Winnipeg’s second loss in a row. Now they get a "well Oiled machine" coming into town. It won't get any easier. I admit Hellebuyck has been on another level of late .948 SV% L4 games, but EDM's offense is scary when they're clicking. OIL have outscored teams 18-6 of late. Back the hotter team tonight. I'm on the OILERS. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||

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

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

Texas Tech +2.5 On Thursday, it's Texas Tech (5-1, 2-4 ATS) taking on Butler (5-2, 6-1 ATS) at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The action kicks off at 6:30 PM ET, and you can catch it on Fox Sports 1. Now, here's the scoop: the Bulldogs are just a slight 1.5-point favorite in this matchup, and the over/under is set at 137.5. Last week, the Red Raiders defeated Michigan 73-57 in the Battle for Atlantis, ending the event with a 2-1 record. The Bulldogs (5-2) had a similar performance in Orlando at the ESPN Events Invitational. They won two games in a row against Penn State and Boise State after a close loss to #19 FAU. We're backing the Red Raiders here, as they have value in this spot. Butler isn't overwhelming opponents like they used to do in the past. The Bulldogs are a lower tier team in terms of total offense, ranking 78th in total points per game. They have struggled from behind the arc as well, ranking 165th in the entire nation, shooting at. 33.5% clip. Texas Tech is a much deeper team and one that has started 5-1 this year. They are one of the best in the entire nation on the defensive side, allowing just 69PPG. They swarm to the ball and throw out many different looks to frustrate the opposing defense. This is the kind of game where they can overwhelm the Bulldogs on the defensive end and force them into a lot of turnovers and tough shots. Trends time, TT are 5-1 SU L6, and 6-1 SU L7 in November. Butler are 2-5 SU L7 in November. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Clippers -1.5 As always with NBA we're waiting for something, anything with regards to injuries at this point of the day. NO news is good news I guess?! Big Association matchup in the Western Conference between the Clippers (7-9, 6-10 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) and the Kings (10-6, 9-7 ATS, 5-1 HOME). It's happening at 10pm ET at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA, and you can catch it on NBATV. The opening odds show the Moneyline (ML) with the Clippers at -125 and the Kings at +105. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 231.5 points. The last time they met was a 128-127 SAC win on 3/3/23. Last season, the Kings dominated the Clippers, winning 3 out of 4 games. This season's first face-off between them is tonight. In their last 10 matchups, the Kings hold a 6-4 advantage and are 6-4 ATS. The Clippers are struggling, with two losses in their last three games, including a disappointing 113-104 loss to the Nuggets as 11.5-point favorites. The one thing the Clips can hang their hat on this year though is their defense. In big games they get it. They're #6 in the league allowing 108PPG. (SAC is 21st at 115PPG) The Kings are coming off a thrilling win against the Warriors (Malik Monk FTW), but now they face a back-to-back challenge against the Clippers. Less than 24 hours rest and now you get a rested LAC team? Advantage to the road team. This Clippers side knew things would be interesting when James Harden walked through the door. Harden has averaged 14-6-2 since joining the Clippers and they’re starting to learn to play as a unit with him in the lineup. Those numbers will only go up and they should have a field day with this tired Kings side. Los Angeles has the playmakers to run and that’s exactly what they’re going to do here. Golden State turned the tempo up many notches last night and if the Clippers do that, the Kings simply cannot sustain that in back to back nights. This Clippers have far too many weapons for a fatigued Kings side to deal with. It won't be easy, but they're riding a two-game winning streak I guess. Tough loss not having Keegan Murray in the lineup tonight. I think he'll still sit based off of what I'm reading. He'll be missed by SAC. Trends, Clippers are a GOD-y 17-2 SU in their L19 vs. SAC when playing on the road. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
11-29-23 | Duke v. Arkansas +6 | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
Arkansas +6 An ACC/SEC challenge matchup tonight when The Duke Blue Devils (5-1, 3-3 ATS) visit the Arkansas Razorbacks (4-3, 1-6 ATS, 3-1 HOME) tonight at 9:15ET from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR tonight. Tonight's game is nationally televised on ESPN. The Moneyline odds stand at Duke -210 and Arkansas +172, with the Over/Under (O/U) total set at 149.5 points. In their recent game, Duke found themselves trailing by 10 points against Southern Indiana before bouncing back in the second half to grab a 80-62 victory. Prior to that, Duke convincingly defeated La Salle with a score of 95-66. Arkansas, with a 4-3 record, recently dropped out of the Top 25 rankings following back-to-back losses to Memphis (84-79) and #14 North Carolina (87-72) during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. This game presents a road test for Duke, marking their first-ever appearance at Arkansas. While these two teams have crossed paths four times before, this is their first regular-season meeting. Three of their previous encounters occurred in the NCAA Tournament, with one in the Preseason NIT. The initial meeting took place in the 1990 Final Four, where Duke emerged victorious with a 97-83 win. In November of the same year, they clashed in the NIT, resulting in a 98-88 win for Arkansas. Their most recent matchup was in March 2022 during the Elite Eight, where Duke grabbed a W. I anticipate Arkansas will put up a strong fight against Duke tonight. They possess the necessary skills both inside and outside the paint and on the glass. This team has experience in handling high-pressure situations, and I believe they will stay competitive in this game, keeping the score within reach. I'm on Arkansas to get the job done. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play | |||||||
11-29-23 | Colorado +2.5 v. Colorado State | 83-88 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Colorado +2.5 Tonight, we've got an exciting State Rivalry matchup on our hands. It's the Colorado Buffaloes (5-1, 3-3 ATS, 0-0 AWAY) facing off against the Colorado State Rams (6-0, 5-1 ATS, 3-0 HOME) at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado. The game is set to tip off at 9 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network. When we look at the opening odds, the Moneyline offers Colorado at +134 and Colorado State at -162. The Over/Under (O/U) for this game is set at 148.5 points. The Rams have been on fire, ranking as the #21 team in the country, and they've started the season strong with impressive victories over BC and Creighton, even covering the spread in their last 5 games. On the other hand, the Buffaloes are coming off a notable 85-68 victory against Iona in their last outing. While Colorado started the season 3-0 ATS, they've struggled in their recent 3 games, going 0-3 ATS. It's worth noting that the Rams have lost their last three matchups against CU. Colorado won the last matchup 93-65 on 8/12/22 in Boulder. Before that on 13/12/2019 CU won 56-48 in Ft. Collins. The pressure is on Colorado State here on Wednesday. The Rams enter play here ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since March of 2022. They play around their 6 foot center, Isaiah Stevens, which isn’t a bad thing here in this matchup for the Buffs. Colorado’s defense is swarming. They pride themselves on controlling the paint and they matchup well with teams that like to play inside. Coming into play here, they’re allowing just 67.2 points against, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Aside from the loss to Florida State, this offense is extremely dangerous too. They’re putting up nearly 88 points a game with their speed and ability to shoot the 3. Colorado is going to put relentless pressure on here and really look to fry and force the Rams into some tough shots and turnovers. Trends, CU are 5-1 SU L6, 14-6 ATS L20 vs. CST, and 6-3 SU L9 vs. CST. CU are also 8-1 L9 vs. MWC teams. CST are 1-5 SU in their L6 vs. Pac 12 teams. My pick for this clash of rivals is backing the Buffaloes as they take on the home favorite Rams, who are currently favored by -2.5 points. While it's the Buffs' first road game of the season, I believe they have what it takes to keep it close and maybe even pull off an outright win. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-29-23 | Suns -2.5 v. Raptors | 105-112 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
Suns -2.5 Late Add. Plays the SUNS -2.5. The Suns (11-6) are hitting the road to take on the Raptors (8-10) this Wednesday, with the game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. These two teams split their series 1-1 last season, and this is their first face-off this year. Now, when it comes to the Raptors this season, it's been a bit of a mixed bag. They've had their ups and downs, and recently, they've dropped two consecutive games, including a 115-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday. On the other hand, Phoenix is riding high on a 7-game winning streak, with their most recent victory being a 116-113 win against New York last Sunday, where they were considered +6.5 underdogs. For those looking at the Moneyline (ML), the Suns are at -135, while the Raptors sit at +110 for those who prefer straight-up bets. The initial odds Against the Spread (ATS) favor the Suns at -1.5 (-115). As for the Over/Under (O/U) total, it's set at 222.5, but I'm steering clear of that one. What's crystal clear here is that Phoenix is the stronger team, and KD will PLAY tonight, which makes the Suns even scarier, so, things could take a bad turn for the Raptors quickly. Adding to that, the Raptors faced some travel troubles in NYC, getting back to Toronto as late as 4 a.m., while the Suns are well-rested. The choice seems pretty evident. Some trends: Phoenix is 6-0 SU L6 on the road, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 vs TOR. Plus, Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its L4, and they're 5-2 ATS in their L7. Also, Phoenix are 6-1 SU in their L7 against Atlantic Division teams. On the other side, Toronto are 1-6 SU in their L7 as a DOG. Injury updates, Durant is IN, Beal is OUT. TOR looks healthy, except for tired no doubt. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
11-29-23 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -130 | 4-2 | Loss | -130 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
Blue Jackets -130 Probable Goalies: Samuel Montembeault (4-3-1, 2.81 GAA, 0.908 SV%) vs. Merzlikins (5-7-3, 3.11 GAA, 0.907 SV%) On Wednesday we've got the (9-10-2, 4-4-2 AWAY) Montreal Canadiens taking on the (7-12-4, 5-6-1 HOME) Columbus Blue Jackets in NHL betting action. Puck drop is at 7pm ET from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH. Blue Jackets opened as a -125 ML favorite, the Habs are +118, the O/U is set at 6.5. CBUS is 6-2-2 in their L10 vs. the Habs. CBUS comes into this one off of a 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins, and confidence is going thru the roof no doubt. Chinakhov had 2 pts vs. BOS, and now CBUS has won 3 of 4. They even knocked Swayman out of the game in that one! They've got 3 lines really rolling right now. CBUS has a couple statistical edges coming into this one, 24th in the NHL in goals, MTL 27th, and 19th in shots (MTL 28th). Habs goalie Montembeault comes into this matchup off a nice outing vs. Anaheim, grabbing a 4-3 win. In November he's now 2-2 and he's allowed 13 goals L5 games. Problem is its the walking wounded in front of him. The Habs have a ton of players on IR right now. They're depth is getting tested. For CBUS last game out Merzlikins allowed 3 goals on 43 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Canes. He was golden for 50 minutes and then couldn't keep the door shut. Before that game he had won 2 in a row. It doesn't happen often, but on Wednesday I'm backing the Blue Jackets on the ML. A few trends I've uncovered, the Habs are 2-5 SU in their L7, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 vs. the Jackets, plus they're 5-12 SU in their L17 on the road. Finally, they're also 2-8 SU in their L10 playing IN Columbus. I'm on CBUS to keep their winning ways going, they seemed to have turned a small corner. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

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

11-28-23 | Lightning v. Coyotes +115 | 1-3 | Win | 115 | 27 h 42 m | Show | |
Coyotes +115 Probable Goalies: Jonas Johansson (Confirmed) (8-4-5, 3.41 GAA, 0.894 SV%) vs. Conner Ingram (Unconfirmed) (7-3-0, 2.64 GAA, 0.919 SV%) I'm liking the Coyotes at +115 in this one. Tampa Bay (10-6-5, 4-4-2 AWAY) is hitting the road to face off against the Coyotes (9-9-2, 4-4 HOME) on Tuesday night. Keep in mind that Tampa Bay is also playing the AVS on Monday night, starting a back-to-back. The Lightning recently crushed the Canes 8-2 in their last game. Meanwhile, the Yotes are coming off a solid 2-0 shutout victory against Vegas on the road. The Coyotes are getting the Lightning here at a good time on Tuesday night. (Update) Tampa Bay fell in Colorado last night. It was a physical game that saw them struggle mightily from the ice on the offensive side of things, putting in just 1 goal. The fatigue is going to be a factor here, as Arizona isn't shy about playing with a lot of tempo. The Lightning will also go with backup netminder Jonas Johansson, who owns a GAA of well over 3. He has allowed 8 goals combined over his last two starts and has struggled with finding consistency this season. Arizona will look to force the Lightning into some tough situations in their own zone and draw penalties too. The Coyotes have been at their best when they are able to get on the powerplay, that ranks 6th in the NHL this season. Looking at their recent history, the Lightning hold a 6-3-1 advantage in their last 10 matchups. However, the Yotes managed to grab a 1-0 shootout win at home in their most recent matchup on 2/15/23. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
11-28-23 | Golden Knights v. Oilers -125 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 26 h 26 m | Show | |
Oilers -125 Probable Goalies: Hill (Unconfirmed) (9-2-1, 1.97 GAA, 0.932 SV%, 2SO) vs. Skinner (Unconfirmed) (6-7-1, 3.28 GAA, 0.877 SV%, 1SO) This will be their first matchup since the playoffs last spring, and I'm liking the Oilers -125 on the ML in this one. Vegas (14-5-2, 6-3-1 AWAY) in town after playing in Calgary on Monday night. The Oilers are catching the Golden Knights at the right time here. Vegas comes in off a loss to the Flames in overtime last night as they continue to struggle right now. Edmonton (7-12-1, 4-4-1 HOME) with lots of problems this season, but playing a team on the second night of a b2b isn't one. The Oil come in off of that drubbing of the Ducks 8-2 on Sunday night. They've now won 2 in a row, no small feat for this team, this year. It was quite a comeback because they were down 2-1 in the first period. But then they scored 7 goals in a row, showing some real will and determination to right the ship. McDavid had 1G 4A in that win and he appears to be returning to form. (9pts L2 games) Six Oilers had multiple point nights. Offense is defs starting to click. Friday night they shutout the Caps 5-0 also at home. Knights come in on a 3-5-1 run, including being shut-out 3x in their L9. LV come in having scored just three goals in their last 4 games and they've cashed in just 3 of their last 10 games. We're getting a look at a different Edmonton team here too. The Oilers have found a bit more of their attack with the changing of coaches and now they are getting different players to step up every single night. This offense has found it's groove and is looking like the old Oilers from the previous seasons. The aggression is there and they are putting pucks on net now, creating a lot of scoring chances. I'm riding this little run that Edmonton is on. This is just lining up too well for them. Back Edmonton on the ML Tuesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play | |||||||
11-28-23 | Rockets +5.5 v. Mavs | 115-121 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
Rockets +5.5 This is an NBA In-Season Tourney game, and if Houston can win it they'd have a spot booked in the tourney's knockout round. Tuesday night the Houston Rockets (8-6, 10-3-1 ATS, 0-5 AWAY) take on the Dallas Mavericks (10-6, 8-8 ATS, 4-2 HOME) in the battle of Texas (NBA Edition). This one tips off at 8:30pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. Mavs are a -5.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 233.5. Mavs averaging 119PPG, Rockets 109PPG, both have 47% FG%, Mavs 37% from 3, Rockets 36%, Rockets average 44 RPG, Mavs 42. Last time these two met was 1/2/23 a 111-106 Mavs win, the Rockets covered the +7 in that one. Houston hasn't beaten Dallas since a 101-92 win on 11/16/22... In their last game FRIDAY the Rockets took down the Nuggets 105-86. Mavs lost to the Clippers 107-88 on Saturday night. A game we played against the Mavs on the spread. When something keeps happening you have to keep betting on it...right? The Rockets just keep covering games. Mavs won't have the bodies to keep up with what Houston can throw at them. Balanced scoring wins games! Houston has that in droves. Sengun, VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Smith Jr. It doesn't end and I'm backing the road team on Tuesday. Doncic will play on Tuesday (he's been cleared), Lively however, is still OUT, as is Kleber. Thompson, Oladipo are out for Houston. Mavs are 7-3 in the L10, but Rockets are 6-4 ATS L10 vs. Dallas. More trends, Houston 6-0 ATS L6, 8-3 SU L11, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. Western Conference teams. Dallas 2-4 SU L6, 2-4 ATS L6, 2-8 ATS L10 games at home, and are 2-9 ATS L11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Rockets 8-0-1 L9 following an ATS win, and 6-0-1 ATS L7 following a SU win. Mavs have lost 3 of last 4, and I'm going to take Houston +5.5 until they prove me wrong. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Bucks -2.5 The Bucks (12-5, 6-11 ATS) are on the road to face the Heat (10-7, 8-9 ATS) at the Kaseya Center for an NBA in-season tournament matchup. The game is set to tip-off at 7:30pm ET in Miami, FL and will be broadcasted on TNT. Bucks are -154 on the ML, Heat +130, the O/U is set at 225. These two teams have already faced off once this season, with the Bucks emerging victorious in their first meeting on October 30th in Milwaukee, winning 122-114 and covering the 7.5-point spread. In their most recent games, the Heat concluded a challenging 5-game road trip against the Nets, resulting in a 112-97 loss. Meanwhile, the Bucks secured a 108-102 victory over the Trail Blazers in Milwaukee. Historically, Miami holds the advantage in their head-to-head matchups, winning 75 out of the 127 meetings between the two teams. However, in the previous season, the clubs evenly split their four-game regular-season series, each claiming two wins. Looking at key statistical categories, Miami ranks 17th in offensive performance (112.1 points per game) and eighth in defense (110.0 points allowed per game). On the other hand, Milwaukee ranks fourth in offense (118.5 points per game) but is 22nd in defense (116.0 points allowed per game). Injuries we're watching for tonight include: For the Bucks, Middleton (?), For MIA, Robinson (PROB), Adebayo (PROB), Butler (?), and Highsmith (?) Trends I'm excited about, the Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their L7, are 7-1 SU in their L8, plus they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the other side Miami are 1-6 ATS in their L7 at home. I just can't trust Miami right now. This is a revenge game of epic proportions and one team will be way more motivated to win it than the other. That means a LOT to me. Bucks cruise to their 3rd straight W. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
11-28-23 | Notre Dame v. South Carolina -7.5 | 53-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Gamecocks -7.5 (3-2, 2-3 ATS) Notre Dame are taking on (5-0, 4-1 ATS) South Carolina tonight. Tip off is at 7pm ET from Colonial Life Arena, in Columbia SC, you can watch it on SECN. SC is a 7.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 133. We're on South Carolina here, as they are taking on the Fighting Irish on Tuesday night. ND come in off of a 75-55 win over MD Eastern. As for SC they come in off of a 75-68 win over Grand Canyon. The Gamecocks are the better team in all facets really coming into play on Tuesday. They are off to a perfect 5-0 start to their campaign and they have a Desert Diamond Tourney win to build off of. This is their best start in years and they're doing it with solid production at both ends of the floor. They're led by BJ Mack and Meech Johnson, but also have got a lot of contributions from the Vandy transfer Myles Stute. Notre Dame is in store for a long season as they have struggled against the better teams on their schedule. They simply don't have the production to keep up here. They lack any sort of spark on the offensive end and this will be the most physical team they have seen thus far. The Gamecocks can impose their will in the paint and cause a lot of issues for the Fighting Irish. I also feel like the GC are the more experienced team here, and coming off of a nice rest period will have charged batteries and all hands on deck to take down the Irish. Trends I've dug up, the Irish are 5-15 SU in their L20, and 0-10 in their L10 on the road. Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS L8, 5-0 L5, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. ACC teams. SC 3-0 on the ML this season. ND is 1-1 as dogs this season. I'm backing SC on Tuesday night. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play | |||||||
11-27-23 | Golden Knights -105 v. Flames | 1-2 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Knights -105 Probable Goalies: Hill (9-2-1, 1.97 GAA, .0932 SV%) vs. Markstrom (5-7-2, 2.93 GAA, 0.901 SV%) Calgary enters this matchup with a 3-3-1 record at home, while Vegas boasts a 6-3-1 record on the road. The reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Knights, are set to pose a formidable challenge for the Flames tonight. They have one of the NHL's best defenses, allowing an average of just 2.38 goals per game, ranking them third-lowest in the league. Adding to the intrigue, Adin Hill returns home to play in front of his family and friends tonight. Hill has been exceptional this season with the best GAA in the NHL at 1.97 GAA and an impressive .932 sv% over his 12 appearances. He recently made 31 saves out of 32 shots in a 2-1 overtime win against the Stars, securing his 4th W in 6 November starts. Vegas doesn't lack offensive firepower either, with players like Karlsson, Marchessault, and Jack Eichel combining for 26 goals this year. They can go toe-to-toe with any team in the league. The Knights also have a solid power play, ranked 13th, while the Flames lag behind at 27th. Calgary returns home for the first game of a homestand after an extended road trip, and it's often advantageous to bet against teams that have traveled long distances following such trips. This situation seems ideal for a bet. Calgary, situated far from other NHL teams except Edmonton, has relied on Markstrom in goal. He hasn't been outstanding but has managed to get the job done. In their recent 7-4 win over the Stars, Markstrom allowed four goals on 28 shots, with all four coming in the first two periods. However, the Flames rallied in the third to secure the victory. These two teams split their four meetings last season, with the most recent one ending in a 3-2 victory for the Golden Knights in Calgary on Mar. 23. In terms of trends, Vegas holds a 7-3 record in their last 10 games against Calgary, and they're 7-2 in their last 9 games against Pacific Division opponents. Meanwhile, Calgary has struggled recently, going 7-13 in their last 20 games and 2-4 in their last 6 home games. I'm on the road team. Back the Knights. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-27-23 | UC-Santa Barbara v. Fresno State | 69-65 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Fresno State PK UCSB (6th in the Big West, 2-2, 1-2 ATS) take on Fresno State (9th in MWC, 3-2, 1-3 ATS) tonight in college hoops betting action. You can catch this one at the Save Mart Center, in Fresno CA, at 9pm ET on MWC Network. We’re backing the Bulldogs here as they look to bounce back in a big way. There are a lot of eyes starting to come down on this Fresno State side. They’re off a 31 point loss to James Madison and have struggled out of the gate. Coming into this season, there were some big hopes for a team that returned starters and hit the transfer portal for some big time players.This is a spot for them where they’re being undervalued. After the sluggish start, the line has gone too low. The Bulldogs still have a lot of talent and they matchup well with this UCSB team.This UCSB side has two wins, one against an FCS opponent and another against Le Moyne, who is new to the division 1 side of things. Otherwise, they’ve struggled even worse and in terms of getting out of the gates quick. Fresno State is going to push the tempo in this one. They’re at their best when they can get out and run, which should put UCSB in an uncomfortable spot early. Fresno State is in a spot where they must win to put some relaxation around the program. Look for them to come out firing here. FST come into this one much better on D at 76PPG to SB's 80PPG, plus they can really get after you on D with 8 steals per game. Dating back to last season the UCSB are 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 NOVEMBER games, and FST are 4-2 ATS in their L6 at home, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 vs. Big West teams. Last one FST is 2-0 on the ML so far this season. I'm on the Bulldogs tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
11-27-23 | Bears +3.5 v. Vikings | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 169 h 20 m | Show | |
Bears +3.5 In the final showdown of Week 12's Monday Night Football, we've got the Chicago Bears (3-8, 4-5-2 ATS, 1-5 AWAY) hitting the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings (6-5, 7-3-1 ATS, 2-3 HOME). The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC). The initial MNF odds show the Moneyline (ML) with the Bears at +145 and the Vikings at -175. Additionally, ATS has the Vikings favored by -3.5 (-105), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 45 points. The Bears had a rough outing last Sunday, squandering a 26-14 lead against Detroit and ultimately losing 31-26 on the road. On the flip side, the Vikings had their five-game winning streak halted with a close 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night. In terms of their head-to-head history, the Bears and Vikings have crossed paths 124 times since 1961, with the Vikings holding the lead in the series at 66-56-2. Notably, the Vikings have won the last five, including a 19-13 victory earlier this season. The Bears are going to be eager to get back out there for this one. After blowing a lead in the 4th quarter against the Lions, Chicago will be looking to come out of the gates fast in this contest. The Bears still can use some of that loss to build off of, as Justin Fields showed a lot of positives in the game. After missing a month with a thumb injury, he was slinging it all over the field with very little issue. He will be able to find a lot of success with both his arm and legs. Fields has the ability to break containment and pick up big chunks with his running abilities. The Vikings defense will have a hard time slowing him down. Minnesota is also seeing teams being able to adjust to Joshua Dobbs now. The Broncos figured him out on the defensive side and the Bears will come in with a lot of different blitz packages. This is going to be a lower scoring game, which will favor the Bears who should win the time of possession. Vikings are 0-5 ATS in their L5 as a home favorite. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -4.5 | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
76ers -4.5 Late Add. National TV game on Monday night, the Lakers (10-7) and the 76ers (11-5) are set to face off at the Wells Fargo Center, with the game scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV. These two teams haven't clashed yet this season, but in the 2022/23 season, they met twice. Last year in Philly, the Sixers were favored by 5 points against the Lakers and ended up defeating them by 11 points. I'm anticipating a similar outcome this time around. The Lakers are coming into this game with some momentum, having secured a 121-115 road victory against the Cavs on Saturday. They have won four of their last five, although James's availability for tonight's game is still uncertain as of 5 p.m. ET. The Sixers, on the other hand, put an end to a two-game losing streak with a 127-123 road win against the OKC Saturday. Embiid was the standout player with 35 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks. He scored most of his points at the charity stripe (19/21) and Phili snapped OKC's 6 game win streak. Many believe he's the best big man in the NBA right now, and he's nearly unstoppable down low. Just ask Chet Holmgren after Saturday. Maxey is almost unstoppable as well right now for Nick Nurse as he's averaging 26.4PPG. For those looking to bet, the Moneyline stands at Lakers +185 and 76ers -225. The opening spread favors the 76ers at -5.5 (-115), with the Over/Under set at 231.5. Keep an eye on the injury updates for Monday night, with Davis expected to play, Hachimura out, LeBron questionable, and Oubre Jr. unavailable for the Sixers. Lakers 3-7 ATS in L10 vs. Phili, and o-6 SU in their L6 in Phili (0-5 ATS too). Sixers are 11-5 ATS L16, and 11-4 SU L15 games. Plus they're 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Phili is a tough, tough team to defend, and with a rest day Sunday, and a rest day Tuesday they'll be all hands on deck tonight. I'm giving the 4.5. The City Of Philadelphia is getting quite the confidence boost of late with their teams! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
11-27-23 | Manhattan +12 v. Fordham | 61-93 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Manhattan +12 It's the 2023 edition of the Battle Of the Bronx. This one goes back to 1911/12. Manhattan won that famous matchup 20-19. A real barn-burner hey? Tonight at 7pm ET from the Rose Hill Gym in NY, NY. Watch it on ESPN+. These two are 3-3 vs. each other dating back 10 years. Manhattan had a tough time in their previous match, losing 90-60 to UConn, but that was kind of expected. Meanwhile, the Rams didn't quite make it against the Golden Flashes, losing 79-72 on Monday. When this game comes down to the wire and the charity stripe becomes a factor I trust the Jaspers more. They're shooting 74%, to Fordham's 60%. Manhattan 2-1 L3, Fordham 1-2 L3. Trends, Manhattan 14-6 L20 ATS, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Fordham. Jaspers are 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 following a straight up loss of more than 20, are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Jaspers are also 8-1 ATS L9 on the road, and 13-7 SU L20 vs. Fordham. These two last played on 11/12/21 a 66-60 Manhattan win. I'm going with the dogs on Monday. Grab the points and smile all the way to the bank. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
11-26-23 | Jets v. Predators -110 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Predators -110 Probable Goalies: Brossoit (2-1-1, 2.94 GAA, 0.875 SV%) (Likely) vs. Saros (6-9, 3.13 GAA, 0.984 SV%, 1 SO) (Confirmed) Jets (12-5-2, 6-2-1 AWAY) Taking the Preds (9-10, 6-4 HOME) on the ML at home. Both teams are on the 5 game win streaks, but Nashville is at home in this one, and the Jets are on the last game of a road trip. In the latest match, the Jets' Brossoit faced 18 shots, stopping 16, securing a 5-2 win against the Yotes on Saturday. He did what was needed for the win. Lately, the Jets have been providing good goal support, and that's been helping their performance. While Brossoit, the former Golden Knight, hasn't been in the crease much in the 2023-24 season, he's managed to win his last two starts. However, it's essential to remember that he's the backup goalie for a reason; he's not as skilled as CH. On the other side, Saros has been performing well, winning his last two games, including a 24-save performance in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Calgary. His season record stands at 6-9-0, and he's been a consistent workhorse. Panthers have outscored teams 20-10 in their L4 games. Forsberg has 9g, 3a, L7 games to lead the team. CH has grabbed 4 of the Jets' wins in their last 5 so we'll gladly take it if he's NOT in the net on Sunday. Saros is 4-6-3 2.54 GAA, and .926 SV% in 13 career games vs. Jets. Nashville are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 10-5 SU in their L15 at home. I'm on the Preds today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NHL ML Play | |||||||
11-26-23 | Harvard +7 v. Indiana | 76-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
Harvard +7 Sunday 5-1 (4-1 ATS) Harvard Crimson take on the 4-1 (0-4-1 ATS) Indiana Hoosiers from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in Indianapolis, IN. This one tips off at 4:30pm ET. Harvard (5-1) has clinched three wins on the road, including a recent 76-70 victory against Colgate. This Sunday caps off their four-game road streak, with previous wins at Rice and UMass. Indiana hasn't played since their 74-66 W over Louisville in the Empire Classic at MSG on Nov. 20. They did take a loss, 77-57, against UConn in the same event. Their only previous encounter with Harvard was in December 1973 when Indiana won 97-76 in Bloomington, Ind. Hardly relevant, but I figured I'd tell you! LOL... We're on Harvard here, grabbing the points against Indiana. The Crimson come in 5-1 overall and 3-1 in road situations thus far. This team hasn't been phased as they look to be one of the favorites in the Ivy League. They have leaned on their physicality on the defensive end to be the difference thus. Coming into play on Sunday, the Crimson rank 13th in the entire nation in field goal percentage against. They are holding the opposition to just 36.7% from the field right now. That bodes well as they get a cold Indiana team that shoots just 23.4% from behind the arc. This will be a grind it out kind of game from the start, which favors Harvard. Look for this one to be close throughout, with Harvard having their chances to steal it. Trends, Harvard are 4-1 ATS in their L5, plus they're 5-1 SU in their L6, and are 5-0 ATS in their L5 games against a Big 10 opponent. On the other side, Indiana are 0-5-1 ATS in their L6. Back the Crimson on Sunday in CBB betting action. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
11-26-23 | Bills v. Eagles OVER 48.5 | 34-37 | Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
OVER 48.5 Sunday the 6-5 (1-3 AWAY, 4-7 ATS) Buffalo Bills take on the 9-1 (4-0 HOME, 6-2-2 ATS) Philadelphia Eagles in what should be one of the top NFL matchups of the season. It is in terms of star power that's for sure. Hopefully the game lives up to the hype. The Eagles have a solid 8-6 record against the Bills over time. Their recent clash in 2019 saw Philadelphia triumph with a score of 31-13, proving their prowess on the road. Buffalo, on the other hand, hasn't had the best luck away from home, with just one win out of four, including a loss in London to Jacksonville. The Bills are showing strength against the NFC East, securing victories against Washington and the New York Giants. Last week, the Eagles, led by a strong defense in the second half and two touchdowns by Jalen Hurts, made a comeback to defeat the Chiefs 21-17 on MNF. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills comfortably sailed to a 32-6 win against the New York Jets, bringing their season record to 6-5. We’re on the Over on what should be the game of the week as the Eagles and Bills clash. These are two offenses that are clicking right now and have put up a lot of points this season. Looking at Phili first, they come in Ranking 5th in the league in offense. They’re averaging 27.3 points per game and come in with all the momentum after coming from behind to beat the Chiefs. Phili has scored 28 or more in 3 of their last 4. Buffalo ranks 6th in points per game and 4th in total offense. Josh Allen is finding his groove and racked up 32 points last week.These are two teams who can exchange punches and should produce a lot of fireworks. Per usual with me, you won't any any trends pointing to the OVER in this matchup, and it looks like the PUBLIC is on the UNDER in this one, so I'm zigging, while they zag, and I'm betting on points in this one. Bet the OVER 48.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play |
