03-13-16 | St. Joe's +4 v. VCU | 87-74 | Win | 100 | 1 h 3 m | Show | |
St. Joe's +4 The VCU Rams rely heavily on their defensive pressure to force turnovers and get easy buckets. VCU isn't a very good team in the halfcourt on offense, and that should be a big issue for them against St. Joe's in the Atlantic 10 final on Sunday. St. Joe's turns the ball over less than any other team in the conference, and they have guards who are well equipped to handle the pressure. The Hawks have been playing some excellent basketball down the stretch. They've beaten Dayton twice in the last three weeks, and the Flyers are an excellent team that plays very well in March. VCU deserves to be the favorite because of their body of work, but St. Joe's recent performances have been awfully impressive. The Rams should be a very small favorite. Getting this many points, I'll gladly grab the underdog. A couple trends to consider for this game. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 between these teams. St. Joe's is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games. Take St. Joe's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-12-16 | Long Beach State v. Hawaii OVER 144 | 60-64 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Long Beach State vs. Hawaii Over 144 The 1 and 3 seeds meet in the Big West Conference final on Saturday night. Both teams have the ability to really hit jump shots, especially threes, giving the over a lot of value here. Hawaii comes in averaging 79 points per game on neutral courts. This team likes to really push the ball and use very little of the shot clock. In the two tourney games they've played in thus far, Hawaii has put up 75 and 88 point performances. As for Long Beach State, they too have been the same way. They've put up 82 and 77 points in their two games and really like to push the tempo. They get into their comfort zone when they get a quick shot up as they like to attack the offensive glass as well. Long Beach State has been 20-11 to the over on the season, while Hawaii has gone 13-11-1. Some trends to consider. Over is 4-1 in Warriors last 5 games following a straight up win. Over is 5-2 in Warriors last 7 overall. This has the making of a very fast paced game, where both teams have the ability to hit the 80s. With that, the over has tremendous value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-12-16 | Utah v. Oregon -1.5 | 57-88 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Oregon Ducks -1.5 The Ducks take on the 2 seed Utah in the Pac-12 Championship and Oregon holds value here at this low of a number. The Ducks have a chance to grab a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but will certainly need a Pac-12 Championship if they want to show the committee they deserve it. Oregon swept the season series and did it with rather ease. They handled Utah by 10 at home and also took care of business on the road by 18 points. The Ducks defense stepped up in both games, slowing down Utah's 7 footer. Utah has also struggled against the Ducks head to head for many seasons. In the past 5 seasons, the Utes have gone just 1-9 head to head in this series. Oregon has also had their offense going nuts lately. They put up 83 in the win over Washington and then followed that up with a 95 point performance against Arizona. The Ducks 'have had both the inside and outside game working as they have caused so many problems with their ball movement. Some trends to consider. Utes are 0-5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Ducks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Pacific-12. Look for Oregon to really push the tempo here and with a 1 seed chance on the line, they should be able to handle business. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-11-16 | Knicks v. Clippers -9.5 | 94-101 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers -9.5 A bounce back is in order here as the Los Angeles Clippers welcome in the New York Knicks on Friday night. In the past 3 in LA, the Clippers have taken all three in this series and held the Knicks to just 79.3 points per game. Some trends to consider. Clippers are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Clippers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Los Angeles should have no problem here bouncing back and taking out some frustrations on the Knicks today. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-11-16 | Florida v. Texas A&M -4 | 66-72 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Texas A&M -4 The Aggies get set to take on Florida and the number 1 seed in the SEC Tournament holds tremendous value here. The Aggies come into this one hot, winners of 6 straight games and continue to look for a better and better seed in the NCAA tournament. They'll get a very tired Florida team who had a hard fought battle with Arkansas yesterday, which will certainly lead to some fatigue, especially in the 2nd half. Texas A&M relies heavily on their duo of Jalen Jones and Danuel House to get their offense going and the duo did just that against Florida in the regular season this season. The two had a combined 48 points to lead the way in a win over the Gators. Expect those two to have another big game here today as they took advantage of their ability to create space and get themselves open looks in the meeting earlier this season. A&M is also very stingy on defense. This team allows just 65 points per game, which is near the top in the conference. They like to run and get out in transition, but will always have five guys behind the ball on defense regardless of the pace. Some trends to consider. Aggies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Southeastern. Aggies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. The Aggies march on with a dominant performance here against a very tired Florida team. Back Texas A&M. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-11-16 | South Florida +11.5 v. Temple | 62-79 | Loss | -106 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
USF +11.5 The USF Bulls got a nice win over East Carolina yesterday. Temple has been off for a bit now, and this could be a spot where the Owls are actually at a disadvantage for not having played recently. USF got into a nice rhythm on Thursday. USF and Temple have played two relatively close games this year, and while Temple is a good team, they aren't a team that blows people out very often at all. The Owls offense isn't any good, and South Florida does work hard on the defensive end. USF is close to home here, while Temple is a long way away from home. There is a bit of a homecourt advantage here for the Bulls. While I don't think Temple is going to lose this game, I think this is just too many points to pass up in what should be a low scoring game between two good defensive teams. Some trends to consider. The Owls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 overall. The Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take South Florida. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-10-16 | Texas State v. Georgia State -2.5 | 63-61 | Loss | -106 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
Georgia State -2.5 The Georgia State Panthers made a tremendous run last year. R.J. Hunter and Ron Hunter were the stars of the opening days in the NCAA Tournament. Georgia State hasn't been even close to that level this year, partially because R.J. Hunter is now in the NBA. Still, this Panthers team has a lot of talent. Georgia State didn't play up to their potential throughout the course of the season, but this is a good spot for them to put forth a good effort. The Panthers showed signs of playing better in their last few games of the season. Additionally, despite Georgia State being so bad throughout the regular season, they did beat Texas State in both meetings. Texas State has a horrible time scoring the basketball, and that plays right into the hands of this Georgia State team. Some trends to consider. Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. The Panthers put together a nice game in a win or go home spot. Their past experience should help here. Take Georgia State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-10-16 | Alabama v. Ole Miss -2.5 | 81-73 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
Ole Miss Rebels -2.5 The Rebels open up SEC tournament play with the Alabama Crimson Tide and it's Ole Miss who has the major edge here. From the motivation factor, the Rebels have a lot higher will to win here. Ole Miss has grabbed another 20 win season, but despite that, they are really on the outside looking in as far as the tournament is concerned. While a win over Alabama may not be enough still, they would get Kentucky next, which would give them that chance to grab another quality win. Ole Miss also has the leader scorer in the SEC in Stefan Moody. He has been quite the difference maker for this team and really can take a game over. Moody has averaged 23.1 points per game, which ranks 7th in the nation. Look for Sebastian Saiz to be the game changer here. He had a stellar performance against Bama this season as he went for 21 points and 16 rebounds, causing many problems in the paint on both side of the floor. Some trends to consider. Crimson Tide are 0-3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Rebels are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. With the motivation high for Ole Miss and their playmaking ability from both the paint and behind the arc, the Rebels at this low of a line hold plenty of value here. Back Ole Miss. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-10-16 | Bowling Green v. Central Michigan -6 | 62-59 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
Central Michigan -6 The Central Michigan Chippewas are a difficult matchup for the Bowling Green Falcons. Bowling Green can defend the paint just fine, but they aren't good at getting out on shooters. Central Michigan is loaded with all kinds of good shooters. Central Michigan beat Bowling Green easily in both regular season games. While some would say that means this is a spot to Bowling Green, we are looking to back the team that has proven they are much better. The Chippewas had injury concerns for much of the season and that held them back a bit, but they are healthy now and they have a high upside. Bowling Green finished the season in ugly fashion. The Falcons pulled off an upset against Kent State in the first round of the MAC Tournament, but the task will be much tougher against a team with outside shooters as good as Central Michigan's. The Chippewas should run away with this one. A couple trends to back this one. Bowling Green is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games. Central Michigan is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 vs. Bowling Green. Take Central Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-16 | Jazz v. Warriors -13 | 94-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors -13 The Warriors welcome in the Jazz on Wednesday night and this is the perfect spot for Golden State to really get their swagger back. Golden State hasn't looked themselves over the past two games. After getting routed by the Lakers on Sunday, the Warriors failed to pull away from the Magic the next night at home. While they still managed to grab a win, it wasn't a pure Warriors win like most of them have been. The Jazz come limping into this one as they have lost 6 of their last 7 and 9 of 12 overall. Utah has struggled to find any sort of offense this season as they average just 97 points per game. That certainly doesn't bode well in this spot as they take on a team that averages 115 points per game. This is a prime spot for the Warriors to really get back in a big way. They get a team that struggles to score while they have no problem running up the scoreboard with their 3 point shooting. Some trends to consider. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Jazz are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Golden State. Golden State handled business by 18 points last time these two teams met and this one could get even uglier. Back Golden State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-16 | Minnesota v. Illinois -8 | 52-85 | Win | 100 | 14 h 9 m | Show | |
Illinois -8.5 The Illinois Fighting Illini aren't a good team, but they are a lot better than Minnesota, especially Minnesota in the shape that they are in now. Minnesota's Joey King is expected to miss this one with an injury. Minnesota also kicked four key players off the team recently. How has Minnesota been without those key guys? The only game where King and the dismissed players were all missing was at Rutgers. Remember, Rutgers had zero wins in the Big Ten Conference before that game. Rutgers pummeled Minnesota in that game by a score of 75-52. Illinois won at Minnesota earlier this year, and that was when Minnesota was at full strength. The five guys who are missing are with quite a few points to the number here. Some trends to consider. Minnesota is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 neutral site contests. Minnesota is also 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games against Illinois. Take Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-16 | North Texas v. Western Kentucky -7.5 | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky -7.5 The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have proven to be a very good tournament team in the past few years. Go back and look and you'll see that Western Kentucky has been at their best in these conference tournaments under Coach Harper. There is no reason to expect anything different here. The North Texas Mean Green were terrible away from home this year. This is a neutral site game that will be played in front of very few people. I'm not sure North Texas is even that motivated for this game. It is a team that seems ready to be done with this disappointing season. Western Kentucky could be a sleeper in this Conference USA Tournament, and the Hilltoppers have the balance needed to take over in this game. Some trends to consider. North Texas is an ugly 3-14 ATS in their last 17 vs. a team with a winning record. North Texas is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. Western Kentucky is 35-16 ATS in their last 51 neutral site games. Take Western Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-16 | Syracuse +2.5 v. Pittsburgh | 71-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Syracuse Orange +2.5 The 8 and 9 seeds get things going in the ACC Tournament as the Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers meet on Wednesday afternoon. A lot more than just a chance to advance is on the line as both teams are certainly on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, meaning a win or loss here can make or break these teams. While both teams really stumbled down the stretch, it was Syracuse who got a lot more production from various players, rather than just 1 or 2 guys. Michael Gbinije earned 2nd team honors in the ACC as he averaged 17.6 points per game and shot 40% from behind the arc. Also stepping up down the stretch of the season was freshman Tyler Lydon. The freshman shot 22 of 39 from the field over the final 4 games of the season, while averaging 15 points. The Orange have a compliment of shooters who can really hit the 3 ball too. They featured 3 players who made 66, 78, and 81 three pointers on the season. Some trends to consider. Orange are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Panthers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. This one is going to be a solid battle, but it's the Orange who will have the advantage here because of their ability to shoot the 3 and control the paint. Look for them to come away here with a win and advance to the third round. Back Syracuse. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-08-16 | Gonzaga -2 v. St. Mary's | 85-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Gonzaga Bulldogs -2 Gonzaga and St. Mary's meet once again in the Conference Championship and revenge is on the plate for the Bulldogs as they look to avenge two losses to St. Mary's this season. First off, both of those regular season losses for Gonzaga have certainly made them a bubble team. Gonzaga has played extremely well, but failed to grab a much needed resume boosting win when the opportunities came about. That means, to make it 18 straight seasons of participating in the Big Dance, Gonzaga may need to just win the conference here as an at large is sketchy. The good news for Gonzaga? Their offense looked phenomenal against BYU on Monday night. They had their inside and outside game working, which will certainly give them some momentum heading into this one. Kyle Wiltjer will be the difference maker here. He averaged only 9.5 points in the meetings with St. Mary's this season. Wiltjer went 5 for 7 from behind the arc and totaled 29 points in the victory over BYU on Monday. Some trends to consider. Bulldogs are 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. West Coast. Expect Gonzaga to come out for this one really fired up. They know they're a bubble team and with the dominance they've had, especially in this spot, they know it's time to take business into their own hands. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-08-16 | Nets v. Raptors -12 | 99-104 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors -12 The Raptors welcome in the Nets on Tuesday night and this is the perfect bounce back spot for them. After blowing an 18 point lead to Houston on Saturday, they get a chance at one of the most unstable defenses in the NBA. Brooklyn has been abysmal this season. The Nets allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 68.4% from the field and conceded 132 points to them in Saturday's loss. The Timberwolves have been very inconsistent on the offensive end, which says a lot about that performance. The Nets will get a Raptors team that is averaging 104.4 points per home game and a team that has gone 23-7 SU. Toronto has also dominated this head to head series. The Raptors have won both meetings this season and won them by an average of 14.5 points. Brooklyn just hasn't had enough on either side of the floor to really keep up with the Raptors for a full game. Some trends to consider. Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Atlantic. Nets are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. Eastern Conference. With the Raptors right on the Cavs heels in the East, expect them to really come out and send a message against a weak Brooklyn team as they take advantage of the Cavs loss on Monday and pick up another 0.5 game. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-08-16 | Green Bay v. Wright State | 78-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Green Bay Phoenix PK The Horizon League Championship features two underdogs that got through the semi finals and the game opens at a PK. These teams are nearly identical, thus the line opening at a PK, as they both took the home game in the head to head series this season. However, the Phoenix roll in playing better and looking the more impressive of the two teams. Wright State defeated Oakland in the Semis, but they didn't look anything special on the offense end. Despite facing a bad defensive team in Oakland, the Raiders only managed to score 59 points. The Phoenix on the other hand, did go to overtime, but put up 99 points against a very impressive Valpo defense. Had the opponents been flipped, it's fair to say we wouldn't see Wright State in this spot. Green Bay has also been the much better team in terms of ATS. The Phoenix have gone 19-10-2 on the season, while Wright State has flopped going 14-16-1. Some trends to consider. Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games. Raiders are 1-6 ATS in the third game of a 3-in-5 days situation. Wright State doesn't play well when games are this cluttered together and combine that with the Phoenix length and size, we should see the Raiders really struggle on the offensive side of the ball. With that, expect Wisconsin Green Bay to really control this game, especially in the paint. Back Wisconsin Green Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-07-16 | BYU v. Gonzaga -3 | 84-88 | Win | 100 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
Gonzaga Bulldogs -3 The Gonzaga Bulldogs get set to take on BYU in the WCC Conference tourney on Monday night. Gonzaga has certainly underachieved this year and is on the bubble right now. Right now, the only way to feel safe is to win the conference and that starts by going through BYU. Gonzaga has won 3 straight games and one of those wins includes a 71-68 victory at BYU. The Bulldogs got things started off in the conference tourney on the right foot with a blowout win over Portland. Gonzaga dominated in every aspect of the game, en route to a 92-67 win. It's actually exactly what the Zags needed as they got their confidence up as they get set for what is likely two very tough match ups, pending a win obviously here first. BYU has played the Zags tough, but this is certainly the time where Gonzaga will step up. They've been notorious for winning this conference and that experience comes into play in games such as these. Some trends to consider. Bulldogs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Monday games. Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. West Coast. Look for Gonzaga to use their stellar defense (that allows just 65 points per game) as they really shut down BYU and continue their dominance in the conference tourney with another win, covering the very small number here. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-07-16 | Pepperdine +7 v. St. Mary's | 66-81 | Loss | -111 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Pepperdine +7 The Pepperdine Waves beat St. Mary's twice during the regular season and are now a 7 point underdog here on a neutral floor. Of course I realize there's plenty of revenge built up when it comes to St. Mary's wanting this game, but I think that theory has inflated this number. Why wouldn't Pepperdine want this game badly as well? After all, their only chance to get to the NCAA Tournament is to win the West Coast Conference Tournament. The Waves have a well-balanced team that has given St. Mary's trouble with their inside game. Stacy Davis is one of the most underrated players in the country. St. Mary's relies heavily on three-point shooting, and Pepperdine does a good job closing out on shooters. The Gaels struggled in their game against Loyola Marymount before eventually pulling away in the final few minutes. Pepperdine should give them a much tougher test. Some trends to consider. Pepperdine is 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 vs. a team with a 60% win percentage or higher. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams. Take Pepperdine. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-07-16 | Bucks v. Bulls -7 | 90-100 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show | |
Chicago Bulls -7 The Bulls welcome in the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night and it's the home team that holds a lot of value here. Milwaukee will be on the unfortunate end of a back to back after having to deal with Oklahoma City on Sunday. Chicago has fallen back in the Eastern Conference standings and it looked like this team had bottomed out. Then, on Saturday that all changed. Jimmy Butler returned to the lineup and this Chicago team looked completely different. Butler had missed a month, but came back in style by going for 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. It was very evident Butler's presence was not only a difference maker in terms of stats, but it also changed a lot of mentalities around for the Bulls. They looked like a much more confident team with Butler out there. This is a solid spot with them being at home too. The Bucks have been a mess on the road this season. Milwaukee has gone just 8-25 SU on the road and scores only 96 points per game. Things are worse defensively for them as well, as they concede 104 points per road game. Some trends to consider. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central. With the Bucks having to deal with the Thunder on Sunday, coming into this one with tired legs against a rejuvenated Bulls team isn't something they look forward to. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-16 | Wisconsin +6 v. Purdue | 80-91 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
Wisconsin +6 The Wisconsin Badgers defense is elite this season. Greg Gard deserves a ton of credit for turning this team around this year. When Bo Ryan left in the middle of the season, Wisconsin looked like they were going to have a forgettable season. Instead, Wisconsin went back to the basics and toughened up on the defensive end. Wisconsin is playing that typical style of Badgers basketball that they seemed to get away from for a while. Purdue is a quality team, but their defense has slipped throughout the course of the year. Additionally, the Boilermakers offense does struggle at times when they play against teams with quality post defenders like Wisconsin's. Wisconsin is playing about as well as anyone in the country in the last few games, especially on the defensive end. Some trends to consider. The Badgers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win, are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. This should be a close one all the way, so I'm happy to grab the six points. Take Wisconsin. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-16 | Siena v. Iona +1 | 70-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Iona Gaels +1 The semi finals of the MAAC Tournament features Iona vs. Siena and the Gaels hold value here in this one. The teams split the season series as the Gaels won by 6 on the road and fell by 3 at home. This matchup is a very close one as both teams play very similar styles of offense. Where the Gaels have the advantage? Their ball movement is phenomenal and they really never force any shots. The Gaels rank 18th in the nation with 17.0 assists per game. Because of their ball movement, they always find the open guy with one extra pass. This team averages 79.6 points, which is good enough 38th in the country. Look for senior AJ English to be the difference maker here. English averages 22.2 points per game and dominated Siena this season, scoring 63 points in both meetings combined. Some trends to consider. Gaels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. Gaels are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win. Look for English to have another stellar game as the Gaels take down Siena and move on in the MAAC. Back Iona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-16 | Mavs -3 v. Nuggets | 114-116 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Dallas Mavericks -3 The Mavericks hexad into Denver on Sunday and it's bounce back time for sure here for Dallas. The Mavericks currently sit in 6th place in the West and missed out on a huge opportunity last time out. The Mavs were 4-1 heading into the final game of their home stand against the lowly Kings, but faltered and missed out on grabbing a 5-1 home stand. When the races are this close, it's vital to win games against sub .500 teams. The good news for the Mavs is that they're getting contributions from a lot of different guys. One of those, Chandler Parsons, is tearing things up right now. Parsons shot 12 of 17 from the field last time out and continues to turn in solid games. They're also getting a lot from David Lee. Since joining the Mavs, Lee has put in 2 double-doubles. As for Denver, they just haven't had it this season. They have gone just 12-19 SU at home and 13-17-1 ATS in that span. Defense has been the biggest issue, as they allow 106 points per game at home on the season. Some trends to consider. Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Mavericks are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games. Look for Dallas to bounce back in a big way. They got the better of the two in the last matchup and with a low number here on the road, they are worth the play. Back Dallas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-16 | Temple -6 v. Tulane | 64-56 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Temple -6 The Temple Owls are a bubble team that is likely on the outside looking in. Temple cannot afford to lose this game. This is certainly one of those games that could pop their bubble. The Owls aren't going to overlook this Tulane team. Tulane has only one guy who can consistently score on offense (Dabney), and a good defensive team like Temple doesn't often let that one guy beat them. Tulane has shown to not have much of a home court advantage. The attendance at their home games is downright brutal, which makes this place far less scary than most road courts. Some trends to consider. The Owls are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The Green Wave are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Temple is a veteran team led by a good coach, and the Owls have a chance to win the AAC title. Between that and the fact that they are on the bubble, this Temple team is going to play their best basketball on Sunday. Lay the points. Take Temple. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cincinnati Bearcats -1.5 The Bearcats welcome in the Mustangs for the season finale and it's the home side that holds value. For SMU, the season ends today thanks to their postseason ban. That will certainly cause a distraction as the frustration has to be setting in now for them. Not only are they frustrated, but the lack of focus will cause many problems. The Mustangs have been through all the emotional things with Senior Night. It's basically to the point this team has had it and wants the season to end. On the other side of things Cincinnati has a lot to play for play. The Bearcats can't confirm their entry into the tourney, meaning winning a game like this can solidify their spot. Cincinnati has also been very good at home. The Bearcats have gone 13-3 at home and have really played much better defense, allowing only 63.5 points per game. Some trends to consider. Mustangs are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Bearcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. Look for Cincinnati to use the Senior Night emotion, along with the motivation to grab another resume building win here. Back Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-05-16 | Kings v. Spurs -12.5 | 94-104 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
San Antonio -12.5 The Spurs welcome in the Sacramento Kings here and this is not only a let down spot for Sacramento, but also a solid spot with the Spurs being at home. Sacramento comes in off a win in Dallas, which was their first win in 23 tries against the Mavs in Dallas. The Kings are fighting for their lives in the NBA playoff chase, but haven't had the spark to get them going. The Kings downfall has been from the defensive end. They have allowed 110 points per road contest. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against a solid offensive team like the Spurs. San Antonio has been a perfect 29-0 SU at home and have gone 20-9 ATS in that span. They've dominated on both ends of the floor, as they score 106 points per game and allow just 90. The Spurs have taken both meetings this season in blowout fashion and 5 straight in the head to head series. Some trends to consider. Spurs are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Spurs are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Look for San Antonio to really have their way on Saturday night. This team is just too good, especially at home. Back San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-05-16 | VCU v. Dayton -1.5 | 67-68 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 37 m | Show | |
Dayton -1.5 The Dayton Flyers have struggled a bit down the stretch, but this is still a team that knows how to win in March. Archie Miller is one of the better coaches in the country, and the Flyers are a team that has peaked at the right time in the past few seasons. This game is a really important one for Dayton. Dayton is just one game behind VCU for the Atlantic 10 lead, and they get to host the VCU Rams in this regular season finale. Obviously, they'd love to grab a share of the conference title. In addition, they need to get some momentum going as they head into the most important part of the season. Kendall Pollard is back in the lineup for Dayton, and that is extremely important. VCU is a quality team, but they are walking into a tough spot here. Take Dayton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. | |||||||
03-05-16 | California -3.5 v. Arizona State | 68-65 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
Cal -3.5 The Cal Golden Bears are playing some tremendous basketball down the stretch. Cal has two potential lottery draft picks in Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb. I would consider Brown a sure thing type of prospect with his strength and great finishing ability around the rim. It took some time for the team chemistry to come around at Cal, but things are going great at the right time of the year. The Arizona State Sun Devils have played hard for Coach Hurley this year, but this team is just overmatched when playing against the most talented teams in the league, and they are definitely up against one of the most talented teams in the league here. Arizona State will put forth the effort here, but I don't expect that to be enough. A few important betting trends to consider in this one. The Cal Golden Bears are a perfect 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games, and are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games at Arizona State. Arizona State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 following a win. Take Cal. | |||||||
03-05-16 | LSU v. Kentucky -13 | 77-94 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Kentucky -13 The Kentucky Wildcats went to Baton Rouge and got thumped early in the SEC season. You better believe this Wildcats team or their coach didn't forget that one. Kentucky is playing much better than they were at that time, while LSU skids into this game with all sorts of issues. Kentucky is in a great revenge spot here. It doesn't hurt that Kentucky is also tied with Texas A&M for the lead in the SEC standings with one regular season game to go here. Kentucky definitely wants at least a share of that title, and in order to get it they'll need to win here. In their last two SEC road games, LSU lost by 16 in Tennessee and 20 at Arkansas. Those two teams don't even come close to having the talent this Kentucky team has this season. A few betting trends to consider for this game. LSU is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. LSU is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record. Kentucky is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-04-16 | The Citadel v. Mercer OVER 169.5 | 69-71 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
Citadel vs. Mercer Over Two teams out of the Southern Conference tip things off in the conference tournament on Friday night. Both teams like to get out and push the ball, making this over a very nice, valuable play here. Both teams played to the over this season. Citadel went 15-7 and while their counter parts in Mercer weren't too far behind at 15-11. Mercer took both of the head to head meetings in the regular season and both games were high scoring. 91-80 and 88-72 both went to Mercer, but it shows the lack of defense both teams play. In both contests, Mercer and Citadel pushed the issued and really tried to get out in transition. With their seasons on the line today, expect a lot of fast paced action here. The key here is Citadel. On the season, they averaged 84 points per game, while conceding 95. They bring out the best in team's in terms of their offense and Citadel can certainly keep up with the pace. Some trends to consider. Over is 6-1 in Bears last 7 vs. Southern. Over is 5-1 in Bears last 6 games following a straight up loss. Look for a lot of points in this one. Both teams have been over teams this season and this one should be no different, especially with seasons on the line. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-04-16 | Eastern Michigan v. Toledo -7.5 | 79-75 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Toledo -7.5 The Toledo Rockets are a better team than the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Toledo will be working hard to both finish the regular season with a win on their home floor and build some momentum going into the MAC Tournament. Eastern Michigan hasn't been competitive on the road inside the MAC. Eastern Michigan has not lost a road game by less than 8 points since the middle of January. They have lost their last two road contests by scores of 86-64 and 115-79. It's been ugly. Toledo has an efficient offense with Nathan Boothe down low and several good shooters on the outside as well. The Rockets have the potential to hurt teams that play zone too much, and Eastern Michigan plays a zone all the time. Some trends to consider. Eastern Michigan is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 following a win, are 7-20 ATS in their 27 road games, and are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games at Toledo. Eastern Michigan will likely be content to get this game over with and get into the conference tournament. Take Toledo. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Friday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-03-16 | Connecticut v. SMU -5 | 54-80 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
SMU Mustangs -5 The Mustangs welcome in the UConn Huskies on Thursday night and the Mustangs hold plenty of value here considering the factors. First factor, revenge. Connecticut took SMU down back on 2/18 68-62. In the game, the Huskies got a lot of calls to go their way and it was really a game that could have gone either way, but some there was a lot of missed opportunities down the stretch for SMU. Second factor, Senior Night. Nic Moore headlines Senior Night as he will play his last game at home. Moore has played through many injuries and has been the go to guy for the Mustangs, especially late in games. Third factor, motivation. SMU has a post season ban on them, but this Mustangs team is currently tied with Temple for 1st. It would be perfect for SMU to send a message and win the regular season title. This team wants to do just that and really prove they are the real deal. Some trends to consider. Mustangs are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Huskies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Back SMU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-03-16 | Louisiana Tech v. Marshall -4.5 | 97-94 | Loss | -117 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
Marshall -4.5 The Marshall Thundering Herd have been playing some tremendous basketball on their home floor in the past couple months. This is a team that was dinged up early in the season, and they started very slowly, but they have been dominating opponents in recent weeks. Marshall has only lost one game at home inside Conference USA. The rest of their home games have not only been winners though, they have been easy winners. Marshall hasn't won a game at home inside the conference by less than 15 points! The Thundering Herd have a star in James Kelly, and I don't think Louisiana Tech has anyone who can shut him down. Marshall is averaging 85 points per game on the year, and the Thundering Herd have a far more consistent offense than does Louisiana Tech. Louisiana Tech has lost two of their last three road games. Those losses were against UTEP and North Texas. Neither of those teams are any good, and Marshall is a huge step up from those teams. Some trends to consider. Marshall is 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games. Marshall is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 following a loss. LA Tech is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take Marshall. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-02-16 | Oregon State v. USC -5.5 | 70-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
USC Trojans -5.5 The Trojans welcome in the Oregon State Beavers on Wednesday night and this one offers a lot of value on the home side. USC has been nearly flawless at home this season. The Trojans have gone 15-1 at home and have dominated Oregon State in Southern Cal. The Trojans have gone 20-4 over the last 24 meetings between these two teams inside the Galen Center. This is also a case where USC must grab a win for their tournament status. It's fair to say two 6th place teams in the Pac-12 are on the bubble. Separating them from the Beavers is extremely important here and the home court advantage is a giant plus for USC. Oregon State has also been kind of a flop on the road. They are only 3-6 SU away from home and are getting outscored by an average of 72-66. Some trends to consider. Trojans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. USC has outscored the opposition at home by an average of 15 points. Look for them to separate themselves from Oregon State here and grab a giant home win. Back USC -5.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-02-16 | Thunder v. Clippers -1 | 98-103 | Win | 100 | 23 h 10 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers -1 The Thunder and Clippers will certainly be the center of attention here on Wednesday night as the two teams meet with a lot on the line. The Clippers lay just 1 point and with them being at home, this is a solid spot and number to back them at. The door is wide open for Los Angeles right now to make a serious push at the Thunder in the 3rd spot in the West. Oklahoma City stumbled up a bit over the past week, while the Clippers went on a winning streak, which brought the teams within just 2.5 games of each other. The difference for the Clippers and where they have an advantage here is with Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan. Looking at Paul first, he's recorded 4 straight double doubles. Paul had 23 points and 12 assists in the team's latest win over Brooklyn, as he continues to contribute in both stat categories. DeAndre Jordan continues to dominate the boards. He will cause a lot of problems for a Thunder team that really doesn't have a true center that can step up and stop him. Some trends to consider. Clippers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Clippers are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS loss. The Clippers know the door is open and expect them to take advantage of home court here and grab a win on Wednesday. Back Los Angeles -1. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-01-16 | Magic v. Mavs -4.5 | 108-121 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Dallas Mavericks -4.5 The Mavs welcome in the Magic here on Tuesday night and Dallas holds a lot of value considering the struggles Orlando has had recently. The Magic haven't been the same team from earlier this season. They have completely fallen off, as their 6 games under the .500 mark. This is a revenge spot certainly for Dallas. The last time these two teams met, the Magic erased a 9 point deficit and eventually won the game in overtime. Dallas has played much better of the two since that game and have won back to back games as they currently sit in 6th in the Western Conference. Dallas has also been a very solid home team. They've gone 18-12 this season, while going 19-11 ATS. They have a solid compliment of an outside and inside game, which comes from their depth and having so many people contribute. Some trends to consider. Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Look for Dallas to really get a bit of payback here, along with grabbing a much needed home win here on Tuesday. Back Dallas -4.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-01-16 | Baylor v. Oklahoma -7.5 | 71-73 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
Oklahoma -7.5 The Oklahoma Sooners haven't been playing all that well in the last few games, but this is a tremendously talented team that is very capable of big things in March. Maybe most importantly is the fact that they are led by arguably the nation's best player: Buddy Hield. Hield is a senior who will be playing his final home game in Norman on Tuesday night. Expect him to bring his best for this one. Hield has shown all year that he has an amazing competitive spirit, and the Sooners star is very capable of carrying his team to a big victory here. Baylor lost by 10 at home against Oklahoma earlier this year. The Bears also lost by 10 points at Oklahoma last season. The Bears aren't quite the team they were last season, while Oklahoma is much better on both ends of the floor. Some trends to consider. Baylor is 9-24-2 ATS in the last 35 meetings between these two teams. Baylor is 1-6 ATS following a straight up win. Baylor is 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play. | |||||||
03-01-16 | Dayton v. Richmond | 85-84 | Win | 100 | 17 h 19 m | Show | |
Dayton ATS The Dayton Flyers are a better team than they have shown in their last few games. Dayton will be eager to show that in this contest. This Flyers team is led by one of the better coaches in the country in Archie Miller. Dayton knows how to win big games on the road. Dayton already won at Vanderbilt earlier this year, and they won at Rhode Island a few weeks ago as well. This line is a clear overreaction to what has been seen most recently. Dayton has had some disappointing showings, but those were mostly in spots where they were the favorite and at home. Additionally, the Flyers weren't healthy in many of those losses. Now, Dayton goes to take on a flawed Richmond team. The Spiders have already lost five games inside the Atlantic 10 on their home floor. Some trends to consider. Richmond is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Spiders are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. a team with a win percentage of 60% or higher. Dayton has the much better defense and that should matter a lot in what will likely be a close game. Take Dayton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-01-16 | Bowling Green v. Kent State -5.5 | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
Kent State -5.5 The Golden Flashes and Bowling Green Falcons get set for a battle inside the MAC Center in Kent, Ohio on Tuesday night. There are a lot of factors that play into why Kent State has plenty of value. From the emotional aspect, it's Senior Night for Kent. Kent State will send off Khaliq Spicer and Chris Ortiz, two crucial parts to this team. The motivation to have them finish their careers at the MAC Center with a win is certainly there, especially for 2 players who have been very important to this team for 4 years. Kent is also in a very big must win situation. To secure a for sure bye to the Q for the MAC Tournament, Kent will need to beat Bowling Green and Akron. The home/away factor plays a giant role here too. Bowling Green is just 6-7 away from home while the Golden Flashes have gone 12-2. Kent's offense has really gotten it going in front of their home crowd, scoring 78 points per game. Kent State also has PG Jaylin Walker back. Walker, who was injured about half way through the season, left Kent very thin at the guard position. He got a game to shake off the rust and should be really full speed here in this one. Some trends to consider. Falcons are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs. Mid-American. Falcons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Bowling Green has just been bad as of late. Kent State beat Bowling Green in BG already this season and really dominated inside. Expect Kent to do the same thing here, as they have such a much better paint presence, that outmatches the Falcons big time here. Back Kent State -5.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Oklahoma City Thunder -7 The Thunder head into Sacramento as they continue their 4 game road trip and they hold solid value in this bounce back spot. The Thunder took to national TV on Saturday night against the Warriors and hand the game essentially won. However, they coughed the ball up with just seconds to go and saw Golden State tie it, then win it with a ridiculous Steph Curry three pointer in overtime. Here is a spot where they get a struggling Kings team, that they've had a ton of success against. The Thunder are 23-5 against the Kings and Sacramento comes into this one limping in, losing back to back games to fall into 10th place. Sacramento could also receive bad news in terms of Rajon Rondo, who is battling a thumb injury. He will be a game time decision, but even if he does play, he certainly won't be 100%. This will force somebody to step up and guard Westbrook, which will likely be too much to handle. Some trends to consider. Kings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. Kings are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Oklahoma City now has their sights on just holding off the Clippers for the 3rd spot. Expect them to really bring it against Sacramento, as they handle them in this spot on Monday. Back Oklahoma City -7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Kansas Jayhawks -1.5 The Jayhawks head into Texas on Monday night and lay a low number here, making them very valuable. Don't get it twisted, Texas is no pushover by any means. In fact, they do come in off a win that actually helped Kanas as they defeated No. 4 Oklahoma. The issue here is they run into a very hot Kansas Jayhawks team. Kansas has won 9 in a row and has clinched at least a share of the Big 12 title. Kansas now looks to grab the crown outright, which could be just what they need to get the overall number 1 seed. With the top teams in the nation falling, the door is wide open for Kansas to jump to #1. Kansas has also had plenty success against the Longhorns. They've won 9 of the pst 10 meetings and are 26-8 all time. They took care of business at home this season in a 76-67 win. Some trends to consider. Jayhawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Jayhawks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Look for Kansas to really push the issue here as this team is hot right now and doesn't want any blemishes or slip ups down the stretch. Back Kansas -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-28-16 | Blazers v. Pacers -4.5 | 111-102 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Indiana Pacers ATS The Pacers take on the Trail Blazers Sunday night and they look for bounce back game here. With holding home court advantage, Indiana holds plenty of value here. The home/away discrepancy is too big to ignore. The Pacers have gone 18-10 at home, while the Blazers have gone just 11-16 on the road. Both teams play noticeably different in the given situation as Portland is a much worse defensive team on the road (102 points against) and Indiana is much better defensive team at home (98.6 points against). Rodney Stuckey returned last game to bolster the bench and while he played just 15 minutes, he should have the rust shaken off and be ready to go for the long haul today. Given that, he will have a much larger impact on the game, that will greatly benefit the Pacers. The difference maker here will be Paul George. The F has been on a tear lately, making at least 10 field goals in three straight games. In a game of this importance, look for him to really step up and deliver on Sunday. Trends to consider. Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.Pacers are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 Sunday games. Look for the Pacers to really come out with a purpose here and take it to the Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Back Indiana ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Wisconsin Green Bay +6 The Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix are a clear underdog at home here against Valparaiso. Let's be clear first of all: this Valparaiso team is excellent. They are the real deal. Why do I want to fade them here? This game means almost nothing to the Crusaders. Valparaiso is locked into the first spot in the Horizon League Conference Tournament. The Crusaders don't have any real reason to be too terribly motivated here. They want to win to help their potential NCAA Tournament seed, but they shouldn't have the same killer instinct they normally do. Wisconsin Green Bay was quite competitive for much of the game earlier this year at Valparaiso. The Phoenix are playing their home finale here, and this game will mean a lot more to them. They clearly aren't as good of a team as Valparaiso, but this is a lot of points to get with a good home team that can score in bunches. Some trends to consider. Crusaders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Phoenix are 3-0-2 ATS in their last 5 home games. We'll side with the more motivated home underdog. Take Wisconsin Green Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Vanderbilt +2.0 The Kentucky Wildcats have been inconsistent this year. That is to be expected from a really young team like the Wildcats. Vanderbilt hasn't played even close to their potential for much of the year, but the Commodores are very capable of big things. They scratched the surface by beating Florida in their last game, and that gives them significant momentum heading into this game. Vanderbilt has long had one of the most underrated home court advantages in college basketball. Vanderbilt's defense is excellent. In fact, they are only allowing opponents to shoot a miserable 28 percent from 3 point range on the season. Some trends to consider. Wildcats are 1-6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Kentucky is a good team with a good coach, but they aren't the same elite team they have been the past couple seasons. Vanderbilt isn't at the big talent disadvantage that they have been in the past. The Commodores are on the bubble and they need a big win here. Take Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Utah -3.5 The Utah Utes have a tremendous homecourt advantage. Utah had a virtual walkover on Thursday night when Arizona State laid down and lost by more than 30 points in Utah. The Utes are well rested here. Arizona comes into this one off of a loss at Boulder against the Buffaloes of Colorado. Colorado is a quality team, but more importantly is the fact that game was played at elevation. That can be hard for teams like Arizona to deal with. What makes that so important? Well, this game will be played at elevation as well in Utah, so two straight games in that tough environment. Arizona is a good team, but they aren't as good as they have been in the past few seasons. They have a good offense and a decent defense rather than the superb defense we are used to them having. Some trends to consider. The Utes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win, are 24-9 ATS in their last 33 Saturday games and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Pac12. Utah's an underrated team who is playing well now. Take Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's 8* Saturday CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Northwestern -18.5 The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have been getting beaten up by everyone they have played this year. Rutgers just isn't a competitive team in the Big Ten. Now, they are playing without their star freshman Corey Sanders (suspension). Without him, this team is a disaster. Northwestern has a chance for a 20 win season, and the Wildcats are better than their Big Ten record would indicate. The Big Ten is a very tough conference this year, and there are only two really weak teams at the bottom of the conference. The first is Minnesota and the second (and by far worst team) is Rutgers. Northwestern beat Minnesota by 24 and 25 points already this year. The Wildcats have sustained several close losses of late, and I think they'll take their frustration out on this Rutgers team that is short-handed and ready to be done with the season. Some trends to consider. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.Wildcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Northwestern wins this one big. Take Northwestern. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's *Rare 10* Top Rated CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Memphis Grizzlies ATS The Grizzlies head into Los Angeles for the 2nd leg of a home and home as they look to sweep it. Memphis opens as a slim road favorite, making them very valuable here. The line is cut in half from the meeting on Wednesday when Memphis took down Los Angeles as -8 favorites. Memphis cashed for us then and this is a solid spot to back them again as the Lakers haven't used home court advantage at all this season. Los Angeles as gone just 6-19 SU and have gotten outscored by an average of 104-96. Memphis learned that Marc Gasol would be out for the remainder of the season and they adjusted their offense completely to fix their current system. Without Gasol, the Grizzlies aren't as dominant in the paint anymore. They have switched to the fast paced style without using much clock and it benefited in the win over the Lakers on Wednesday as they put up 128 points. The new style benefits not just the starters, but also the bench. Matt Barnes turned in one his best performances of the season against LA as he went for 25 points. Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.Grizzlies are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Memphis is in the midst of a playoff run while the Lakers continue another losing streak. With home court not playing any advantage here, look for Memphis to use that high tempo offense to run wild on Friday as they cover the number. Memphis Grizzlies ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Detroit vs. Oakland Over The Horizon League is featured on Friday night with the Detroit Titans and Oakland Golden Grizzlies going at it. Even with a high total listed, both of these teams have had no problem this year scoring and reach high point totals, making this one very valuable. It's very rare to find two teams in a mid major conference as good as these two in terms of field goal percentage.The Golden Grizzlies have shot 46% from the field this season and averages over 63 shots per game. Detroit is shooting the same 46% from the field and get up over 61 shots per game. These two teams will not use the shot clock as they like to get up and down the floor and jack up shots. Both teams have been profitable to the over as well. Detroit has gone 8-5 to the over on the road while Oakland has gone 15-10 overall to the over this season. There has also been zero defense when it comes to these two teams. Detroit concedes 87 points per game, while Oakland is right there with 82. Both Detroit and Oakland have given up those kinds of numbers to lower tier teams as well, which means when they run into fast paced, high scoring teams like this, things could get very ugly. Over is 13-0 in Golden Grizzlies last 13 home games following three or more consecutive road games.Over is 4-1 in Golden Grizzlies last 5 overall. This one is going to be fun to watch. Up and down action with a lot of buckets from both inside and out. Don't be scared of that big number. Both teams have the ability to hit 100 points in this one. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-25-16 | UCLA v. California -7 | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
California Golden Bears ATS The Pac-12 is featured Thursday night as the UCLA Bruins and California Golden Bears go at it. The home team lays 7 here, which gives them a lot of value here. California is hot right now as they have skyrocketed right into the Pac-12 race as they sit in 4th, just 1 game out. The Golden Bears have won 5 straight and get the Bruins at home here, where teams haven't had any success this season. Cal has gone 16-0 at home this season and has paid off for bettors going 11-5 ATS. The Golden Bears are outscoring their opposition on their home floor 78.4 to 62.6. As for the Bruins, this team has been the most disappointing team in the Pac-12 and is likely destined for the NIT unless they can pull off an epic run in the Pac-12 tournament. UCLA is just 4-8 ATS on the road this season and hasn't had any success against Cal lately. The Golden Bears have taken 4 of the last 5 in this series. Bruins are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in California.Golden Bears are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. Roll with the home team here. This Cal team is just completely unstoppable at home and with a chance at a Pac-12 Title, they certainly will bring their A game here. Back California ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-25-16 | North Dakota State v. South Dakota State -10 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show | |
South Dakota State -10 The South Dakota State Jackrabbits have the highest upside of any team in the Summit League. South Dakota State wasn't healthy through much of the middle of the season, and they lost several games during that time. Now that they are healthy, they are looking like the best team in the league once again. North Dakota State took advantage of South Dakota State's injury issues earlier this year. The Bison now have injury problems of their own with Paul Miller missing the past few weeks with an injury. He is questionable for this game. North Dakota State doesn't have a high powered offense to start with, and with Miller either gimpy or not playing at all, it's hard to see them keeping up with South Dakota State on the road. Also, South Dakota State is just a game back in the Summit League standings, and they badly need this game. North Dakota State is just getting ready for the conference tournament. Some trends to consider. The Bison are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss, and the Jackrabbits are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. Take South Dakota State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-24-16 | Arizona v. Colorado +5.5 | 72-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
Colorado Buffaloes ATS The Pac-12 features a key matchup for both teams as Arizona and Colorado go at it in Boulder on Wednesday night. The home team catches points here, which makes them very valuable considering the circumstances. First off, looking at Colorado, this team is certainly on the bubble. They had their chance to make a push at the top of the Pac-12, but they came up flat in their California trip, losing to USC and UCLA. With that, they've came back down to the middle of the pack, which doesn't look good for any team trying to impress the committee. Arizona does come into this one winning 6 in a row, but this will be their first road game in nearly 3 weeks. They are just 4-3 on the road as they really play a different styled game when they're away from home. With them experiencing a road game for the first time in a while, going into Boulder is certainly not ideal. Colorado is 14-1 SU there and has won 8 straight there. It's been notoriously a tough place to play for opponents and with Colorado having a chance to add a win over the #9 team in the nation to their resume, this is a spot where they will certainly try to steal this game behind the home crowd. Buffaloes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games.Buffaloes are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Go with the home team here. Colorado has a real chance to bolster their resume and with them having so much success at home, this is one they will really be up for. Back Colorado ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-24-16 | Lakers v. Grizzlies -8 | 119-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Memphis Grizzlies ATS The Grizzlies continue their pursuit in the Western Conference as they get set to take on the Lakers in a home and home, beginning in Memphis Wednesday night. The Grizzlies lay a relatively lower number here, making them valuable. Los Angeles has dropped 6 straight games overall and brings in one of the worst road records in the NBA as they sit at just 5-28. They've conceded 109.1 points per game compared to just the 98.0 they've scored. As for Memphis, this team has gotten themselves into playoff contention with their home play. They are 20-9 overall and have held teams to just 99.1 points on the season. They've also dominated the head to head with Los Angeles. Memphis has won 7 straight against the Lakers, which includes a 112-96 win in Memphis the last time these two teams met. The Grizzlies have handled the lower teams in the NBA, going 25-4 SU and 18-10-1 ATS against under .500 teams. Grizzlies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.Grizzlies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Memphis has continuously bounced back from losses and this is one of those cases here, as they should have no problem handling the Lakers here today. Back Memphis ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-24-16 | Northwestern v. Michigan -7 | 63-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Michigan Wolverines ATS The Wolverines welcome in Northwestern on Wednesday night and this is an absolute must win spot for them. Michigan is considered a bubble team right now and while they won't impress the committee as much with just a small win over Northwestern, a big win will certainly look good to add to their resume. This is also a spot where Michigan can take nothing for granted. A loss to the Wildcats adds one of those "bad losses" to their resume, which could really hurt them come selection time. Michigan has gone 12-3 SU at home this season and got a giant win last time out over Purdue, in a game where their defense held the Boilermakers to just 56 points. Northwestern has been struggling as well. They've won just 2 times in their last 9 games, both coming against the bottom teams in the Big 10, at home. They've dropped 5 straight on the road, losing by an average of over 10 points in all 5 meetings. They also have had zero luck in Michigan, losing 5 straight there as well. Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. Big Ten.Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. There just hasn't been anything there for Northwestern as of late. With Michigan really on the bubble, this is game they can use to win by a large margin and grab a bonus win to add to their resume under the "impressive" category. Back Michigan ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-23-16 | Rockets v. Jazz -5 | 114-117 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Utah Jazz ATS The Jazz welcome in the Rockets for a crucial Western Conference showdown with a lot on the line here. Revenge and tie breaking scenarios are motivation for the Jazz here, making them valuable. Utah has dropped both meetings to Houston this season. A loss here would give the Rockets the tie breaker head to head, which could become very costly for Utah down the road. Currently, it's these two teams, along with Portland, fighting for the 7 and 8 seeds. It's the Jazz that sit 0.5 game out, behind the Rockets. Utah cannot afford to lose the tie breaking scenario as it essentially puts them an extra game behind Houston. While Houston did take the first two meetings this season, Utah was with without Derrick Favors and had an injured Rudy Gobert in one of the games. Favors has made all the difference in the world since returning from injury. He led the Jazz to a winning streak that got them back into the race prior to the All Star break and has averaged 21.3 points over the past four games. As for Gobert, he missed the first meeting and played in just 15 minutes in the 2nd meeting. His presence in the paint alone is important, especially when the Rockets have a player like Dwight Howard. Jazz are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.Rockets are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. NBA Northwest. The Rockets are a different team on the road and the Jazz have done a nice job protecting their house. Look for Utah to use the home court, along with Favors and Gobert, to get some revenge and grab a convincing win over Houston here. Back Utah ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-23-16 | Vanderbilt +4 v. Florida | 87-74 | Win | 100 | 17 h 11 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +4 The Vanderbilt Commodores have definitely been a disappointment so far this year, but there is still plenty of time for them to change that. Vanderbilt has a wealth of talent, but they haven't quite been able to pick up those key road wins yet. Even with the way they have fallen short so far this year, look at their losses on the road. They lost by 2 at Baylor against a good Bears team. They lost in OT at Arkansas. They lost by a point at Mississippi State. The Commodores have been very close. This Vanderbilt team has far more balance than does Florida. The Gators offense has been very bad this year, and they rely on the ability to slow down the opposition. Vanderbilt has several very good outside shooters and two good big men in Jones and Kornet. Some trends to consider. Gators are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Vanderbilt has a good chance to win this game, but given this many points, I'll grab them in what should be a close game. Take Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* Tuesday CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-22-16 | Cleveland State v. Green Bay -13 | 61-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Wisconsin Green Bay ATS The Phoenix welcome in the Vikings for a Horizon League showdown and the home team in Green Bay holds a lot of value here. Green Bay continue to hold onto the 4 seed in the Horizon League, but needs a lot of work to catch the 3rd spot while avoiding falling into 5th. The Phoenix bring in one of the best scoring offenses in the conference as they score 86.3 points per home game. Take that into consideration when looking at Cleveland State, as they average just 60.8 points per game. Winning for opposing teams in Green Bay has been a rarity as well this season. The Phoenix bring in a 9-2 SU record while going 5-3-1 ATS in lined games. Overall on the season, they've been a profitable team going 14-10-1 ATS. Meanwhile, Cleveland State has gone just 9-15-2 ATS and have won just 3 of 12 road games. These teams met in Cleveland back on 1/7 and it was all Green Bay as they routed the Vikings by 20. They simply were too much offensively, both inside and out. Vikings are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Green Bay.Vikings are 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Cleveland State hasn't had any success against Green Bay head to head and they haven't had much success in general this season. Look for a very lopsided win here for the Phoenix as they have no problem with the Vikes. Back Wisconsin Green Bay ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Illinois +11.5 The Illinois Fighting Illini are the play here because Wisconsin is in a clear letdown and look ahead spot. Wisconsin is coming off a stretch where they played Maryland and Michigan State back to back. They go to Iowa after this game. Wisconsin needs to win this game, but they don't need to win by 13. The Badgers should be content with just getting out of here with a win. The Badgers need another marquee win to get on better footing for the NCAA Tournament selection which is only 3 weeks away. They know this game won't do them any good with the committee. Illinois has been inconsistent this year, but they have played some solid teams tough on the road. They lost by only two at Ohio State and at Northwestern. Illini are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. Wisconsin should win this game, but this is too many points. Take Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 7* Sunday CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-21-16 | Cavs +3 v. Thunder | 115-92 | Win | 100 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers ATS The Cavs and Thunder headline the Sunday slate of NBA match-ups and the road team in Cleveland catches 3 points, making them very valuable. It's rare to find Cleveland getting points and even though their opponent is the Thunder here, Cleveland matches up very well with them. Cleveland picked up right where they left off prior to the break as they won their 5th in a row, handling the Bulls with rather ease. As for the Thunder, they stumbled out of the gates here in the 2nd half with a home loss to Indiana. They come into this one down, as it's becoming more and more evident that catching the Spurs and Warriors just isn't likely. Cleveland should also have Channing Frye, their deadline acquisition, dressed and ready to go. Frye was acquired to stretch the floor and more depth to this Cavs team. Frye has shot 40% from behind the arc this season, making him that much more dangerous. Cleveland has taken the last 2 meetings and is a very respectable 16-10 away from home. Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Look for the Cavaliers to really make a statement here. Grab the points as they have a very good chance of winning this game outright. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-20-16 | NC-Greensboro v. Chattanooga -13 | 79-64 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
Chattanooga -13 The Chattanooga Mocs are arguably the most complete team in the Southern Conference. They are both very good on offense and on defense. This is a team that does everything well. That's tough to go against for opponents. UNC Greensboro is one of the worst teams in this league. The Spartans lost their best player (Saddler) before the season, and they have struggled all year. Chattanooga already beat UNC Greensboro by 13 on the road this year, and the Mocs certainly have a good home court advantage. Chattanooga hasn't lost at home all year. The Mocs also have very nice road wins at Georgia and at Dayton. That's a sign of a very good team. Chattanooga is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. UNC Greensboro is coming of an ATS cover, and they are 18-37 in their last 55 after covering the previous game. Lay the points. Take Chattanooga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

North Dakota -9.5 The North Dakota Fighting Hawks are coming off a one point road loss at Idaho. It was a tough loss, but this sets up as a nice bounceback spot for North Dakota. They host Northern Colorado, and Northern Colorado has the single worst defense in the country in terms of efficiency. Northern Colorado has had a lot of injury trouble, and they are a team that has not gotten better throughout the course of the season. The Bears of Northern Colorado are allowing opponents to shoot better than 40% from 3 point range on the season. North Dakota has already had nice home wins over some of the better teams in the Big Sky Conference. They beat Idaho State easily. They knocked off Weber State, who I believe is the best team in this league. North Dakota plays quickly and should put up a lot of points in this one. Take North Dakota. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Xavier -4 The Xavier Musketeers have lost one game at home this year. It was to this Georgetown Hoyas team. Xavier didn't come ready to play on that day, but I think they will in this one. Xavier is clearly the much better team in this matchup, and they'll be out for revenge. Georgetown has lost 5 of their last 6 games. This Hoyas team is one of the bigger disappointments in the country this season. I look for them to struggle through the rest of the regular season. Why? Because there isn't much incentive for them now until they get into the conference tournament. Xavier is playing to try to improve their seed. The Musketeers have all sorts of star power in the backcourt, and their quickness should give Georgetown's defense fits. Xavier is the much better defensive team and they will be more motivated as well. This is a fair number to lay in this matchup. Take Xavier. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Iona ATS Iona and Monmouth renew what has turned into a rivalry here on Friday night. The Gaels have had this game on their radar ever since 1/15 as revenge is on the minds of all their players. After their meeting on 1/15, a fight broke out during the handshakes as the Gaels weren't happy with the way Monmouth was presenting themselves. Iona took extreme exception to the disrespect Monmouth gave them on their own home floor. Iona comes into this matchup in a much better place than the last time these two teams met. The Gaels have gone 5-1 ATS and SU in their last 6 and look to build off a 19 point win. This team has been playing much better as of late and has much more confidence coming into this matchup than the last one. There is also a lot on the line for Monmouth here. This team does have the chance to clinch the conference regular season title on Friday. This game is expected to be filled to capacity, which isn't a norm there. With this being the biggest crowd Monmouth will be playing in front of, combined with all the hype, expect a lot of nerves from them here. Gaels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.Gaels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Metro Atlantic Athletic. With all the pressure on, along with the revenge factor here, expect Iona to be right there in the end with plenty of chances to win this one outright. Back Iona ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-19-16 | Rockets v. Suns OVER 214 | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rockets vs. Suns Over 214 The Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns are two teams who play zero defense. Fresh legs should help both of these teams quite a bit. Houston is certainly better than they have shown so far this year, but they have team chemistry problems and that shows up the most on the defensive end. Look at the last four games played between these two teams. We have finals of 113-111, 127-118, 117-102, and 111-105. That's four straight meetings over this total. I don't see any reason why this meeting would be any different. Phoenix doesn't have Markieff Morris now, and some believe they will have some trouble scoring moving forward. That might be the case, but I don't expect that to show up tonight against a Houston defense that few teams have struggled to score against. Over is 8-1 in Rockets last 9 road games and 11-1 in last 12 when opponent scores 100 points or more in previous game. Plus the OVER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Phoenix. Look for a shootout with very little defense all the way in this contest. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||

Dallas Mavericks ATS The Mavericks head into Orlando as both teams get set for the drive toward the postseason. Both of these teams limped into the All Star break, but the Magic had the worst end of the two. Orlando started the season extremely hot and looked like they would be the surprise team here. However, since the page turned to 2016, the Magic have gone just 4-16. With them sitting 3.5 games out of the playoffs, the Magic decided to make a giant move at the deadline and acquire Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova. While these two will make this team better, no doubt, it will take some time to gain the team chemistry with the rest of the Magic. Dallas stood pat and sits in the 6th seed in the Western Conference. They come absolutely dominating the head to head series. Dallas has won 7 straight in this series and have won the last 9 meetings in Orlando. Mavericks are 9-0 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Orlando.Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The Mavs aren't just winning in this series, they're covering the games too. With this game a pickem and the Magic trying to adjust to the team chemistry, look for Dallas to grab a road victory here on Friday. Back Dallas ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-18-16 | East Tennessee State v. The Citadel OVER 183.5 | 67-51 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 19 m | Show | |
East Tennessee State vs. The Citadel Over East Tennessee State and The Citadel clash on Thursday night and we get a chance to see two very good offenses and two very bad defenses. With that, the over holds tremendous value here. Anytime Citadel takes the floor, the over is a solid option. It just can't seem to get high enough when they play. Looking at Citadel, they have played to the over in 13 of 18 games this season. Overall they're scoring 84.4 points per game and conceding a ridiculous 95.5 points against. This team will get up the floor very quickly and use very little of the shot clock. On defense, they won't send many guys at the rim for defensive rebounds as they like to get their guards out and ready to book it. This gives the opposition plenty of 2nd chance points. On the East Tennessee State side of things, they are 13-8-1 to the over this season. They aren't quite as drastic in terms of numbers, but they're certainly up there. They put in 76.5 points per game and concede 76.6. They're right there in terms of the run and gun style as they too never use the shot clock. These two teams met on 1/23 and it was a complete shootout. ETSU knocked off Citadel 101-92. Over is 35-16 in Bulldogs last 51 overall.Over is 41-19 in Bulldogs last 60 vs. Southern. Expect this one to be just like the 1/23 matchup. These are two over teams that have the chance to both easily surpass the 100 point mark on any given night. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-17-16 | Colorado v. USC OVER 151 | 72-79 | Push | 0 | 24 h 8 m | Show | |
Colorado vs. USC Over The Trojans look to rebound from a rough road trip when they welcome in Colorado for a crucial Pac-12 matchup. Both teams really have the ability to score and put up points in quick flurries, making this over very nice. Looking at the home side first, the Trojans have the 2nd best scoring attack in the Pac-12 as they average 84 points per game. More impressively, that number jumps up to 87 points when they play at home. They'll get a chance at a very mediocre road defense that allows nearly 75 points per contest. Colorado also isn't too shabby in the offensive production department. They average 77 points per game and are the best 3 point shooting team in the conference. From behind the arc, the Buffs shoot 40% per contest as they aren't afraid to hoist it up from beyond the distance. The Buffaloes have also been an over team as of late, cashing in both times in their previous two games as them, along with the opposition found themselves in the 80's. USC has also been a solid over team, going 9-4 in their last 13. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Look for a lot of back and forth action here as these two teams aren't afraid to take early shot in the shot clock and will really look to get out and run here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

They are just 1-5 in conference play on the road with their lone win coming against a very weak Washington State team.

02-17-16 | Evansville v. Drake OVER 144 | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Evansville vs. Drake Over 144 The Evansville Purple Aces are one of the fastest paced teams in the Missouri Valley Conference. They get to the line more than any other team in the conference. Evansville goes to play Drake tonight, and the Drake Bulldogs have a horrific defense. The first meeting between these two was 84-65 Evansville and a similar type total in this one is what I would expect. Evansville is going to get a bunch of easy looks at the hoop, and Drake shoots the ball better from long range on their home floor than they do on the road. The Missouri Valley Conference in general is a very low scoring conference, but this is a game where the over has value. A bad defense like Drake can give up points in a hurry when going against a team like Evansville that has balance on offense. Over is 5-1 in Purple Aces last 6 vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and is 6-2 in Purple Aces last 8 overall. Also the OVER is 7-2 in Bulldogs last 9 following a straight up loss. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 8* Wednesday CBB O/U Play | |||||||

Air Force +8 The UNLV Rebels aren't the same team without Stephen Zimmerman in the middle. UNLV is also without forward Ben Carter. To say that UNLV is a thin team right now would be an understatement. Also, UNLV now has no inside game. Air Force isn't a good team, but the Falcons have always been a difficult team to beat on the road. They have an underrated homecourt advantage. Recently, they upset both Boise State and Wyoming on their home floor. Because UNLV crushed Air Force in the first meeting this year, not many people are giving them a chance, but the circumstances are far different here. Remember, this is a UNLV team that very narrowly beat San Jose State at home two games ago. There isn't good chemistry on this UNLV team, and I don't think they should be laying this many points in a difficult environment. Grab the points and the home underdog. Take Air Force.

Valparaiso ATS The Horizon League features two teams on opposite sides of the standings as Valparaiso heads into Cleveland State on Tuesday night. The Crusaders continue their push for a Horizon League Title while the Vikings continue to struggle in league play. These two teams already met in Valpo earlier this season and it wasn't even a contest. The Crusaders routed the Vikings 77-52, in a game that saw Valpo shoot 50% from the floor. Currently, Valpo sits atop the Horizon League with an 11-2 record while the Vikings find themselves tied for last at 3-10. This Cleveland State team is just too young and lost to many players to transfers this offseason. They have zero punch offensively, as they are one of the worst scoring teams in the Horizon League. Valpo also hasn't been a bad road team this season. The Crusaders are 9-4 SU away from home this season while the Vikings are a very mediocre 4-7 at home. Crusaders are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Crusaders are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. Horizon League. The Vikings are just a bad team. Even with them being at home here, home court advantage has served no sort of purpose for them. Expect Valpo to really come out in this one and do something similar to the performance they had at home in their 25 point win. Back Valparaiso ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

New Mexico State Aggies ATS A makeup game from back in December comes to form here on Monday as the Aggies and Shockers meet in Wichita on Monday night. New Mexico State opens as a 15 to 15.5 point underdog, which gives them some solid value here. This Aggies team is no pushover. They've opened the season 18-8 and lead the WAC. This team has the experience as well of dealing with high class profiled teams, as they have made the tournament 4 straight years. They also come into this one scorching hot. The Aggies have won 9 straight games and look to build off a 14 point win over Chicago State. Likely WAC Player of the Year Pascal Siakam turned in a 24 point performance in the win as he continues to tear it up from everywhere on the floor. As for the Shockers, they come into this one on a big low. They saw their 43 game home winning streak come to an end on Saturday thanks to Northern Iowa. The loss also ended their current 12 game winning streak. Wichita State has to be down after seeing both streaks come to an end as it will also likely push them out of the Top 25 when the ranks are released. Aggies are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Aggies are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Expect New Mexico State to certainly keep this one close. This team is solid on both ends of the floor and with the Shockers losing last time out, their morales have to be down, especially for a makeup game. Back New Mexico State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-14-16 | USC v. Arizona UNDER 155.5 | 78-86 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
USC vs. Arizona Under 155.5 The USC Trojans do play quickly, but many people don't realize how good their defense has been this year. That's the single biggest reason USC is so much better this year compared to the past couple years. They are very good on the defensive end. Arizona isn't going to want to get up and down as much, and Sean Miller has made defense the primary thing he has been preaching to his team for the past couple weeks. Miller is one of the better coaches in the country, and this Wildcats team should defend better down the stretch this year. USC and Arizona had an epic four overtime game in the first matchup this year. The score before the overtime sessions was 73-73. That's a good amount under this total. Look for the defenses to be good enough to keep this one under. Under is 8-1 in Trojans last 9 games following a straight up loss. Under is 5-2 in Wildcats last 7 Sunday games. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||

Iowa Hawkeyes ATS The Hawkeyes get set to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday and even with this big of a number, the Hawkeyes hold solid value. Iowa comes in off a tough loss to Indiana on Thursday which caused a three way tie atop the Big 10 with those two teams and Maryland. However, Maryland fell on Saturday to Wisconsin and Indiana has to go to Michigan State on Sunday, leaving reason to believe Iowa has a very good chance of being in sole possession of 1st place come Sunday night with a win here. Iowa returns home to a place where they are a perfect 12-0 and win by an average of 18 points per game. Situationally, the Hawkeyes have been good after conference losses. The last time they lost, they came back the next game and beat Northwestern by double digits. Also, Minnesota has not been good recently. They lost their previous road encounter by 24 points and come in off a loss to Michigan at home. This team is just not in good form and won't put up much of a fight here. Expect Iowa to come out hard and really take it to Minnesota in what will be a very lopsided victory. Back Iowa ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-14-16 | Canisius v. St. Peter's -1.5 | 57-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
St. Peter's -1.5 The St. Peter's Peacocks are a short favorite at home against Canisius in this one. Canisius looked like they might have a solid season when they held their own in the non-conference slate, but this team has faltered of late. Canisius has lost 5 of their last 6 games. They aren't getting stops at all, and it's making it very tough to win games in the MAAC. They already lost at home by 17 points to St. Peter's earlier this season. St. Peter's has bounced back from a rough run with two big wins over lesser opponents in their last two home games. The Peacocks have the much better defense, and I think that is the difference here. Anytime I can get a team with a better defense and lay this short of a number at home, I have to do it. Golden Griffins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Peacocks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Take St. Peter's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-13-16 | Portland State v. Weber State -12.5 | 78-87 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 8 m | Show | |
Weber State -12.5 The Weber State Wildcats have a very good team, and they are the team most likely to emerge with the Big Sky Conference title. Weber State has a tremendous inside player in Joel Bolomboy. He is a guy who is likely to be an NBA player in the future. He is a great shot blocker and he has a solid inside game on offense as well. Additionally, Weber State has a very good shooting guard in Jeremy Senglin. Senglin is shooting 46% from three-point range this year. It's very rare in the smaller conferences that you will find a one-two punch as good as these guys. What's the other big advantage Weber State has in this game? The Wildcats are a much better defensive team than is Portland State. The Wildcats have the best defense in the Big Sky. Weber State held Portland State to 58 points at Portland State earlier this year. This should be a comfortable win for the home team. Take Weber State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

New Mexico -13 The New Mexico Lobos are coming off a two game losing streak on the road. They lost at San Diego State in overtime (a game they should have won). They then had a hangover from that game and lost at Utah State in their last outing. Now, New Mexico comes home to "The Pit" which is one of the best home court advantages in the country. They get to host a San Jose State team that is really bad. New Mexico already beat San Jose State on the road by 19 earlier this year. This is the perfect spot for New Mexico to get back on track and crush the Spartans. Additionally, it's a tough spot for San Jose State. The Spartans were actually beating UNLV on the road for almost the entire game last game. They lost that lead in the closing minutes and fell by 3 points. That's a tough one to bounce back from. Lay the points with the home team. Take New Mexico. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-13-16 | Virginia +2 v. Duke | 62-63 | Win | 100 | 18 h 48 m | Show | |
Virginia +2 The Virginia Cavaliers have gotten back to the basics in the last few weeks. Virginia was the best team in the nation on defense last year. A few weeks ago they were ranked below number 50 in the nation in defensive efficiency and now they are in the top ten. That's why Virginia is on a great run of late. Virginia has proven they can go on the road and win at tough places. They beat down a very good Louisville team on the road. They also went to Pittsburgh last weekend and beat a pretty good Panthers team easily. Duke is a good team, but they aren't elite right now. The Blue Devils don't have enough great scoring options. Additionally, the Duke defense has been awful in the past month. Duke is now not even in the top 100 in overall defense in the country. Virginia goes on the road and puts up another superb effort. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in L4 meetings in Duke, the road team is 16-5-1 ATS in this matchup's L22 meetings, and the dog is 4-1 ATS in the L5 meetings. Take Virginia Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-12-16 | Ohio +4 v. Buffalo | 94-75 | Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Ohio +4 The Buffalo Bulls will be playing without star player Lamonte Bearden in this one. Bearden is out for three games due to a suspension. He is the team's leading scorer, leading assists man, and leader in steals for the season. Buffalo lost at home to Toledo last game when they were playing without Bearden. Ohio has won their last two games on the road. One of those was an impressive road win at Toledo. Last time out, Ohio won on the road against a much improved Ball State team. It's time to give the Ohio Bobcats some credit, and they aren't getting from the oddsmakers here. Buffalo isn't the same team without their star, and catching four points is more than enough to make this worthy of a play.Ohio has a real chance at pulling the outright upset, but we'll grab the four points in what should be a close game. Bobcats are 19-9 ATS in the last 28 meetings vs. the Bulls, and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Friday games. Take Ohio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-11-16 | The Citadel v. Furman OVER 167.5 | 75-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Furman vs. The Citadel OVER 167.5 Anytime The Citadel takes the court, the over is a beautiful play. This is the definition of the team that has "all offense, no defense." Just look at their points per game vs. points against. The Citadel averages 85.1 points per contest. On the road this season, this team is giving up a ridiculous 101.2 points per game. You won't find many teams in the nation consistently giving up that many points. The over has cashed in 11 of 16 games overall this season for them and in 5 of 7 on the road. These teams just recently met too and it was the type of game you'd expect. Back on 1/16, The Citadel defeated Furman 89-86. Both teams shot nearly 50% from the field as the game turned into a track meet. These two teams have become notorious to play to the over. They've gone 5-1 in their last 6 as both teams typically find themselves near the 90s or even into the 100s. It's just the style of play The Citadel brings to the table. They do not run offensive sets often as they get out and turn games into run and gun. Their opponent finds success if they use the same style as it allows them to get easy transition buckets. Expect a game similar to the one on 1/16 as these two teams will light the scoreboard up and clear this total. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB O/U Play | |||||||
02-10-16 | Iowa State -2.5 v. Texas Tech | 82-85 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
Iowa State Cyclones ATS The Big 12 takes center stage on Wednesday and the Iowa State Cyclones hold tremendous value against a much weaker team in Texas Tech. Iowa State sits 6th in the conference with a winning record at 6-4. However, this team is just 1.5 games off of first place and joins 5 other teams in the conference as ranked teams. The Cyclones sit #15 in the nation and have gotten past the tough part of their schedule. They get a Red Raiders team that is low in the conference standings and just hasn't been able to get a significant win this season. Texas Tech is near the bottom of the conference with a 4-7 record as they've dropped 8 of their last 10. Texas Tech is 7th in the conference with just 68.1 points per game. This team also ranks 9th in field goal percentage with just 41% shooting per conference game. Iowa State has won 2 straight in this series and still has a legit chance at grabbing a conference title. While this win won't certainly open the eyes of the committee by any means, it is a chance to add a bad loss to their resume. Given that, avoiding adding a 7th loss to a sub .500 conference team is a must for the Cyclones. This is simply a game where Texas Tech can't keep up with Iowa State. The Cyclones will run all night long and push the issue. That does not play well into Tech's hands, which will cause a lot of problems for them here. Back Iowa State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Memphis Grizzlies ATS The Grizzlies head into Brooklyn on Wednesday night and lay a very low number considering the difference in talent level. Memphis has been a much better team this season while Brooklyn really hasn't been able to figure it out. The Grizzlies are right in the middle of the Western Conference and continue their playoff push behind savvy veterans Mike Conley and Zach Randolph. Conley comes in off his most impressive scoring performance of the season as he put in a season high 27 points on Monday. The line has been adjusted here due to Marc Gasol breaking his foot last time out as he will miss 4 weeks. However, this Grizzlies team has built the depth and talent off the bench, as Jeff Green will jump into Gasol's role. Green played 39 minutes on Monday, which was no problem for him. He has the ability to put up significant numbers each night and should shine in his new role. Memphis has also dominated the head-to-head portion of this series. The Grizzlies have won 3 straight, which includes a 10 point win back on Oct. 31. This Memphis team is far better than Brooklyn. Laying this low of a number with a team who looks to carry some steam into the all star break is a no brainer here. Back Memphis ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Indiana State -4 The Indiana State Sycamores have the number two ranked defense in the Missouri Valley Conference. Only Wichita State has been better on defense so far this year. Southern Illinois has had a nice season, but they have played a bunch of really weak teams to reach the record they have this season. Southern Illinois has lost four straight games. This team is showing signs of breaking, and I don't see them turning it around here. The Salukis defense has been letting them down in recent weeks. Indiana State is coming off a bad loss at Bradley. The Sycamores have been inconsistent this year, but I expect them to bounce back here. Indiana State has a good coach in Greg Lansing, and they generally play their best basketball late in the year. A short price here on the home team who is much better on defense. Sycamores are 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. Salukis are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Take Indiana State.

Xavier vs. Creighton Over The Big East features two of the best offenses in the conference as the #4 Xavier Musketeers meet with the Creighton Bluejays on Tuesday night. With how prolific and talented these two offenses are, the over holds a lot of value here. Xavier comes in off an absolute shooting display as they hit 13 3-pointers and shot 65% from the field. This Xavier team is averaging 80.8 points per game and has seen the over hit in 14 of 23 games this season. Here's the mind boggling fact, the Creighton offense is actually ranked better than Xavier's. The Bluejays are scoring 83.8 points per home game this season and are 14-8-1 to the over this season. At home, the Jays are a solid 8-4-1 to the over as they allow 71 points per game. Both of these teams really like to run and gun and work both the paint and behind the arc. Neither team is shy about jacking the triple up, as it was seen in the 13 3-pointers display by the Musketeers on Saturday. The over is a perfect 8-0 in the last 8 meetings and 4-0 in the last 4 in Creighton. Look for that run and gun type of game here with a lot of offense and a lot of three pointers. Back the over.

Chicago Bulls ATS Chicago heads into Charlotte on Monday and it's very rare to find them catching this many points against a sub .500 team. Given the situation and the injury problems, Chicago is in trouble. However, when you have the veterans like they do, overcoming situations like this is very possible. Chicago has struggled lately and now with the news that Jimmy Butler is out, things will be difficult on them. However, when you have players like Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol, there is always a chance to overcome situations such as the one the Bulls are in right now. The good news for Chicago? Mike Dunleavy is back and ready to go. He'll provide the Bulls with not only depth, but the ability to hit from outside. The Bulls are also having no problem when it comes to scoring. On the season, they are averaging 103.3 points per road contest. If they can find a way to slow things down and buckle down defensively, they'll be just fine. The road team and underdog have also dominated this head-to-head series: -Underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meeting Road team is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 meetings. Catching 6 points with the Bulls here is a solid play. They know they need to step things up and with the veterans they have, they will have a chance to certainly win this one outright tonight.

Arkansas -7 The Arkansas Razorbacks host Tennessee on Saturday. Tennessee staged a huge comeback win over Kentucky last game, and this is a letdown spot for the Volunteers. Arkansas is always tough to beat on their home court as well. This Arkansas team isn't as good as some of the ones in recent years have been, but they are still a quality team. They have some size on the inside, which is something that Tennessee has none of. The Volunteers will be severely undermanned on the inside here as they essentially play all guards and small forwards. Rick Barnes teams have always been wildly inconsistent, and we saw his Texas teams pick up a huge win and often give it back with an ugly effort the next game. Tennessee has been up and down already this year, and I expect a down game for them in this one. Razorbacks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.Razorbacks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Southeastern. Take Arkansas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Arkansas Little Rock -15.5 Arkansas Little Rock is one of the most improved teams in the country. They have a first year head coach who has turned this team around by getting them to focus on the defensive side of the floor. South Alabama lost at home by 9 earlier this year to Little Rock. South Alabama is also coming off a game where they lost in overtime against a bad Arkansas State team. Now, they go to play the best defense in the Sun Belt Conference. Arkansas Little Rock has been blowing teams out at home this year, and they have done a great job of being ready for weak opponents. This team isn't overlooking anyone this year, and I don't expect it to start on Saturday. Little Rock should get the job done with a big win. Trojans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.Trojans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Take Arkansas Little Rock. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Kent State Golden Flashes ATS The Golden Flashes welcome in cross conference Toledo into the MAC Center and this is a game Kent State must certainly bring their best in. The Golden Flashes have suffered injuries to both their guards, but this team has plenty of talent to still compete. Kent has dropped back to back games, both of which they were within 3 of in the 2nd half, but saw the opposition pull away late for lopsided wins. This Kent team now finds themselves out of first place and they cannot afford to fall back any further. They match up well with this Toledo team. The Rockets don't have much height, nor do they have guards that can shoot the opposition out of the gym. Toledo is just 4-4 on the road this season while Kent State is 9-1 at home. The Golden Flashes still have star F Jimmy Hall, who had another good outing against Central Michigan as this team must get him touches almost every time down the floor. Hall averages 16.4 points to go along with 7.5 rebounds per game. He's become a force in the post and gives Kent State a clear advantage inside. Toledo put an end to their 3 game losing streak as they fell to NIU, OU, and and Buffalo, which all 3 teams play similar styles to Kent's inside game. Look for the Golden Flashes to welcome the sight of their home court and grab a much needed home win here as this team has had enough time to adapt without their guards and should be ready to go for the long haul. Back Kent State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Central Michigan vs. Akron Over The Chippewas head into Akron to take on the Zips as the leaders of the West go at the leaders of the East in what could be a Championship preview. Both teams have plenty of talent and can score at lightning fast pace, making this over a nice play here on Friday night. Central Michigan is a quick run and gun team. They showed that last time out as they put up 88 points against a good Kent State defense. CMU likes to get out in transition and find their open guards to jack up threes. This offense will usually not even go with a guy in the post, as they like to spread the floor behind the 3 point line. Akron is very similar. They put up 80 against a good Ohio U defense as they dominated both the paint and behind the arc. On the season, Akron has averaged 78.1 points per home game. Central Michigan has put up nearly 76 points per contest. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams and last time they met it turned into a track meet as it finished 91-82. Both teams will look to get out quickly here and with this total sitting in the mid 140s, the over should have no problem hitting. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cincinnati Bearcats ATS The Bearcats have quietly flown under the radar all season long. This team has talent from top to bottom on their roster and even with a big spread here, they have tremendous value. The Bearcats have 6 losses this season, but that number is very misleading. Four of those six losses have come by 2 points. They're essentially in every game, against every opponent. People will look at this matchup and see the Bearcats only won by 3 in South Florida. While that is true, like their record, that game is misleading a bit as well. Cincinnati didn't have a field goal over the final 10 minutes of the contest. Many more times than not, if a team doesn't make a field goal over the final 10 minutes of a game, they're probably going to lose. So take what Cincinnati did as impressive. Cincinnati is just 1.5 games behind SMU for the AAC lead and are getting some solid play from their defense, which is one of the best in the conference. The Bearcats allow just 62.2 points per game, which also ranks 12th nationally. The head to head series has been dominated by the Bearcats as they've won the last 5 meetings. Look for Cincinnati to have no problem here. This South Florida team is bad and won't even come close to competing in this one as Cincinnati blows them away by 20+ points. Back Cincinnati ATS.

Detroit Titans ATS The Titans and Vikings take part in a weekday Horizon League matchup and with the visitors laying this low of a number, they have solid value here. Currently, Detroit is in a log jam in the middle of the Horizon League standings with a 4-6 record. It's almost a lock that Detroit will not be receiving a first round bye, meaning they'll have to play a first round game either on the road or at home in the Horizon League Tournament. Winning games or losing games like this can really hurt them with so many teams stuck together. Looking at this Cleveland State team first, they have been horrendous this season. They knew things wouldn't be easy on them after losing so many players to transfers, but this young team has showed so many signs of inconsistencies and flaws on both sides of the ball. Cleveland State is just 7-16 on the season and home court has not done much for them as they are only 4-5 at home. Detroit got back in the win column last time out and is just 1 game under the .500 mark. They have no problem scoring as they average over 82 points per game on the season while shooting at a 45% clip. If this team can step it up defensively, they're almost unbeatable with how good their offense is. Going up against a weak Cleveland State team that scores just 61.9 points per game is a nice sight for them. This is a solid spot to lay the small number with the visitors. They're a much better team and should have no problem handling the situation here. Back Detroit ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Los Angeles Clippers ATS The Clippers welcome in Minnesota here on Wednesday and situationally this is such a beautiful spot to grab the Los Angeles here. The Timberwolves will be playing a back to back as they played inside the Staples Center on Wednesday with the Purple and Yellow court. It hasn't happened often, but the Lakers were victorious, putting an end to their 10 game losing streak. It's pretty much the story of the Timberwolves season as they have shown they are one of the worst in the NBA. The Clippers have been back to their dominant selves as they have rattled off 4 straight wins, with the last 2 coming by double digits. Los Angeles may be without Blake Griffin right now, but this team is actually a much more consistent team without him. Los Angeles has also owned the Timberwolves too. Since 2012, they are 14-0 SU and 8-5-1 ATS in those meetings. The Clippers have won 7 of 8 home games and are 17-7 SU at home this season. With a tired and young Minnesota team, expect no focus from them here. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Oklahoma State +6 The Oklahoma State Cowboys have improved as the season has gone along. Oklahoma State is just as talented as Texas Tech, and we're getting a significant amount of points here. Oklahoma State is coming off a nice road win at Auburn this past weekend. Oklahoma State has fared well as an underdog in the last few seasons. On the other side, Texas Tech is getting a little too much love from the oddsmakers here. Texas Tech is certainly a better team than they have been in the past, but this number suggests they would be a clear favorite on a neutral floor, and I don't think that is justified. Oklahoma State struggled some earlier in the year because they were dealing with the injury to Phil Forte. Now that several other scoring options have stepped up, this Cowboys team is a lot more dangerous. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two. The Cowboys are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 head to head matchups vs. Tech, and the Red Raiders are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Grab the points. Take Oklahoma State.

Expect this team to really bring the fire here tonight. Duke has been off since Jan 25 when they fell in Miami and you know this team is itching to get back on the court. They left the court in Miami to chants of "overrated," leaving a sour taste in their mouths. The time off was a good thing for them, it gave them a chance to regroup, get healthy, and get back into their rhythm. Even with their recent struggles, this Duke team isn't as bad as their playing. They rank 2nd in the ACC and 9th in the nation with nearly 85 points per game. They have the talent both interior and exterior to cause fits for the opposition. They come into this one dominating the head to head series with Georgia Tech. Duke has won 8 straight against Georgia Tech and 12 of 13 overall. Expect a hungry and fired up Blue Devils team here on Tuesday. Right from the opening tip, this team will be ready to go and they won't stop running here tonight. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The Citadel vs. Chattanooga over If you're looking for defense, don't watch any of The Citadel's games. They take on Chattanooga on Monday night with the total sitting at 175. Anytime this team takes the floor, the over is extremely valuable. Overall, The Citadel averages 85.7 points per game and concedes 94.3. On the road, things get even better and worse for them. They average 86.3 points while conceding a ridiculous 100.2. Their totals have sat from anywhere in the 160s to the 180s. Still, this team brings in a record of 9-4 on the over and 4-1 on the road.

02-01-16 | North Carolina +1.5 v. Louisville | 65-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
North Carolina ATS The Tar Heels head into Louisville to take on the Cardinals and anytime UNC is catching points, it's too tough to pass up situationally. North Carolina can remove all doubt here for the most part in the ACC with a victory over Louisville. They already hold a 2 game lead on them as the Tar Heels are a perfect 8-0 this season in conference play. The Cardinals don't come into this one with much confidence as they had their worst loss at home in the 6 year history of the building. Virginia came in and absolutely dominated from start to finish in a 16 point loss. Louisville managed just 14 points in the first half in what was their worst showing of the season. The loss not only was bad for their fans to see, but it also really put a damper on them getting the ACC regular season title. Marcus Paige played extremely well in the Tar Heel's win over Boston College, which was a nice sight to see as he is finally back on track. Paige had 12 points and looked more in control, which was something he was missing during a bad stretch this season. The Tar Heels took 2 of 3 meetings head to head last season and in their lone loss they actually held an 18 point lead before blowing it completely. Still, this team is a very talented bunch and knows with a win on Monday, they can really separate themselves from the pack. Back North Carolina ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-31-16 | Wolves v. Blazers -7 | 93-96 | Loss | -101 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
Portland ATS The Trail Blazers welcome in the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night and this is clear cut mis match here. Minnesota is completely lost right now while the Trail Blazers are picking up steam. Portland has won 3 straight games, all of which have been by double digits. Portland has relied on Damien Lillard all season long and while he's producing at a high level right now, he's getting a lot of help from more than just CJ McCollum. This is the first time really all season that the Trail Blazers are getting production from multiple players. On the Minnesota side of things, they've dropped 3 in a row and have completely lost it on the defensive side. They given up 114, 126, and 103 in the 3 losses. Portland has also owned Minnesota this season and overall. They are 2-0 already against Minnesota here in the 2015-2016 campaign, but 32-7 SU and 29-9-1 ATS in the last 39 games. Over the last 10 games Portland is 9-0-1 ATS against them. With how bad Minnesota is on the road (7-16 SU), and how poorly they're playing right now, combined with Portland playing at a high level currently, this is a solid play here on the Trail Blazers. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-31-16 | Oregon v. Arizona State OVER 151 | 91-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
Oregon vs. Arizona State Over 151 The Oregon Ducks offense has been on fire of late. The Ducks have scored 87, 89, 86, and 83 points in their last four games. Oregon always likes to play uptempo when they can, and Arizona State should give them that chance tonight. Arizona State has a new coach in Bobby Hurley this year, and Hurley has always been a guy that prefers to push the pace of the game. In league play, Arizona State is pushing the tempo even more than they did earlier in the year. Arizona State's defense has been torched by several good offenses this month. The Sun Devils allowed 94 points against Arizona. They allowed 81 against UCLA. They gave up 89 against USC. They'll give up a lot here against a very good Oregon offense. Over is 5-2 in Ducks last 7 games following a ATS win. Over is 6-0 in Sun Devils last 6 overall. Over is 6-0 in Sun Devils last 6 vs. Pac 12. This should be a close and high scoring game all the way. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* Sunday CBB O/U Play |
