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.

03-06-16 | SMU v. Cincinnati -1.5 | 54-61 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
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 | 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.

02-29-16 | Thunder -7 v. Kings | 131-116 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
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 | |||||||
02-28-16 | Valparaiso v. Green Bay +6 | 70-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
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 | |||||||
02-27-16 | Kentucky v. Vanderbilt +2 | 62-74 | Win | 100 | 6 h 44 m | Show | |
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.

02-27-16 | Arizona v. Utah -3.5 | 64-70 | Win | 100 | 4 h 46 m | Show | |
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 | |||||||
02-27-16 | Rutgers v. Northwestern -18.5 | Top | 59-98 | Win | 100 | 4 h 56 m | Show |
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 | |||||||

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.

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 | |||||||

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 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.

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.

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.

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 | |||||||

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.

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.

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 | |||||||

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.

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.

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.

The Panthers are much better on both sides of the ball and are a very good team at home. There's no such thing as a must win right now, but this is as close as it gets for the Panthers. Pittsburgh has dropped 3 of 5 and has fallen to the middle of the pack in the ACC. After this one, they get #12 Virginia, #13 Miami, and #1 North Carolina. Grabbing a win against this weak Virginia Tech team is important for their confidence and for their place in the ACC standings. Pittsburgh has played much better at home this season as well. The Panthers are 12-2 SU and have played very solid on both sides of the ball. They average 81.9 points per game while conceding just 65.5 points against. Pittsburgh is also solid in this spot situationally. After a loss, the Panthers have responded with blowouts the following game. Look for Pittsburgh to do that again here.

Golden State Warriors ATS The Warriors head into Philadelphia on Saturday evening and this unfortunately for the 76ers is a spot they don't want to be in. Golden State has lost just 2 games this month and are currently on a 5 game winning streak all against top NBA opponents. Here's where this gets very interesting, Golden State hasn't had any problem beating the top teams by huge margins. Their lowest margin was a 12 point win against Indiana and they've beaten Cleveland (by 34), Chicago (by 31), San Antonio (by 30), and Dallas (by 20). The Warriors have had no problem handling the spread on the road as they are 16-7-1 ATS away from home. Things aren't pretty for Philadelphia at all. The 76ers are just 4-17 SU at home and in those 21 games, they are just 8-12-1 ATS. With the Warriors getting an extra day to rest, this big number shouldn't be any problem for them to cover. They're just way too talented for this 76ers team to even allow them to keep it within reason. -The favorite has covered in 8 of 10 meetings. Back the Warriors ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Louisiana Monroe -6 The Louisiana Monroe Warhawks have played much better on their home floor this year. The Warhawks are led by star Majok Deng. Louisiana Monroe had a really tough stretch of scheduling for a long period of time earlier this year, and that wore them down. Now that they are home and rested, this team is playing up to their potential. Louisiana Monroe is a strong defensive team that was accustomed to needing to grind out games to win, but recently they have found their offense. Monroe made 15 from long range to beat UT Arlington in an upset on Thursday night. In the past, Monroe has played the same style of game that Texas State plays, which is extremely slow. Monroe has had success lately by changing it up and playing some uptempo basketball. That new style of basketball should give them an edge against a Texas State team that has virtually no offense. Warhawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Take Louisiana Monroe. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

01-29-16 | Northern Kentucky v. Detroit -7.5 | 91-83 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
Detroit -7.5 The Detroit Titans are a really high scoring team. Detroit has a ton of guys who can beat you, and they are at home here to take on Northern Kentucky. Northern Kentucky has played pretty well recently, but all that has done is give us more value on the Detroit side. Northern Kentucky lost by 17 at Toledo. They lost by 16 at Green Bay. They also lost by 9 at Milwaukee. Recently, they shot the lights out and won at Oakland. That's an impressive win, but we can't forget the fact that this Northern Kentucky team was beaten badly by most other decent opponents. Detroit has gone through a brutal scheduling stretch and that has them on a five game losing streak. It's important to note that all of those games were very close. This isn't a bad team. This sets up as a great spot for them to "get things right" and pick up a win and a cover. Titans are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games overall. Take Detroit ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Syracuse Orange ATS The Orange welcome in Notre Dame to the always tough place to play in the Carrier Dome for a huge Big East conference clash. Syracuse has absolutely dominated this series. The Orange have won 4 straight at home and 6 of the last 7 head to head. Notre Dame has had no answer for the Cuse offense in this series. Things also go from bad to worse for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will be without leading scorer and go to clutch factor Demetrius Jackson for this one. Jackson pulled his hamstring in the win over Boston College and will miss an extended period of time. He leads ND with 16.6 points per game, which will leave a giant gap in the Fighting Irish offense. Look for the Orange to continue their stifling defense here once again. Cuse ranks 36th in the nation with just 64.7 points against. They are the 12th best at defending the 3 as they allow opponents to shoot just 29.4% from behind the arc. With Notre Dame not having their leading scorer, combined with how well the Orange play against ND, this situationally makes sense. Look for the Irish to really struggle here and for Syracuse to once again dominate this one. Back Syracuse ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS | |||||||
01-28-16 | VMI v. Mercer -14.5 | 58-73 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
Mercer Bears -14.5 Mercer and VMI battle it out on Thursday night and the Bears offer tremendous value as they are a clear cut better team in every single aspect of the game. Record wise, the Bears are 14-6 while VMI is just 6-12. The Bears sit at 4-3 in the conference and are just 2 games back of first place. VMI sits in dead last with just a 1-6 conference record as they have had just a horrible season. Mercers record is very misleading as well. They have dropped two straight both taken into overtimes with one going into double. Another one of their losses came at Auburn where they held tough with the Tigers throughout. The offensive numbers are extremely different here too. Mercer is shooting 44.7% from the field, while VMI is a horrific 38.2%. The last time these two teams met, Mercer had no problem as they handled the Cadets 89-61. Look for a very similar game here. This may be a different season, but VMI is just too poor on both sides of the ball to keep this within reason. Expect a Bears route here. Back Mercer ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Xavier Musketeers ATS The Musketeers head into Providence for a huge Big East matchup and the visitors show some solid value with them either at a PK or even catching a point at some places. Regardless, this team is much better and this is a perfect spot to back them as a win here really sets them up going forward. Xavier and Providence both sit at 5-2 in the conference and in the Top 10 in the nation. Not only does this win set one of these teams up going forward for a top seed in the conference, but it also gives them a solid resume building win for the tournament. Xavier is a much quicker and more physical team. They have the ability to shoot the 3 ball and also dominate the paint. From the outside Trevon Bluiett has recorded at least 15 points in 5 straight games as he hit 3 of his 6 three pointers attempted against Seton Hall. James Farr is the go to guy in the paint. He put up 24 and 15 against Seton Hall and his physically down low is a lot for opponents to handle. This Musketeers bunch really is good at playing inside out. They can work the paint and their big men will have no problem locating shooters outside. This makes this team that much more dangerous and tough to stop. Look for Xavier to run here and not allow Providence to really find any rhythm as they grab a road conference win that sets them up big time going forward. Back Xavier ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-26-16 | Texas Tech v. Oklahoma -14.5 | 67-91 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Oklahoma Sooners ATS The Sooners welcome in Texas Tech for a Big 12 showdown and with them being at home, this is a solid spot to see a real blowout here. Oklahoma has bounced around the Top 10 and continue to bounce back and forth between number 1 and number 2. This team certainly has the talent, but they've ran into some tough luck on the road. At home though, things have been different story. Oklahoma has gone 9-0 this season at home as they average 87.0 points per game, while conceding just 67.0. Dating back to last season, they've ran of 16 straight home wins. They currently have potential Player of the Year in Buddy Hield who is playing at an unreal level. The Sooners star guard has averaged 25.7 points per game while grabbing nearly 6 rebounds. The Red Raiders come into this one struggling having dropped 5 of 6 overall as they're really struggling to get stops defensively. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against one of the best offensive teams in the nation. Look for Oklahoma to really send a message here and take it to Texas Tech as the Red Raiders simply do not have enough fire power to keep up here on the road. Back Oklahoma ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sacramento Kings ATS The red hot Kings welcome in the Charlotte Hornets Monday night and this team has become a very nice value play as of late. Sacramento has won 5 straight and DeMarcus Cousins is on a tear right now. Cousins has easily been the best player in the NBA in the month of January as he's torching team after team inside the paint. Cousins has averaged 32.5 points to go along with 13.7 rebounds this month. He comes in off a performance against Indiana that saw him go for 48 points in an 11 point win. This is a clear cut mismatch of an opponent for him as nobody can stop him on Charlotte. Both Al Jefferson and Cody Zeller are injured, leaving the Hornets very thin in the paint. Also making matters better for the Kings, Nicolas Batum and Jeremy Lamb are both injured, leaving depth a major issue here for Charlotte. The Hornets are also a horrid road team. They've gone just 5-15 SU this season and are scoring under the 100 point plateau on average per game. While it's tough to lay the points with this Sacramento team, the Kings are playing at such a high level, they are worth the risk here. Back Sacramento ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Iowa State -2 The Iowa State Cyclones host the Kansas Jayhawks at Hilton Coliseum on Monday night in a huge Big 12 showdown. Kansas has been a major thorn in Iowa State's side, and the Cyclones are definitely going to be geared up for this one. Iowa State has looked much better in the past few games. They showed a lot in their home win over a very complete Oklahoma team last Monday. They also did well in a letdown spot against TCU on Saturday afternoon. The Cyclones are an extremely experienced team, and that experience will help a lot in a game like this. Led by Niang and Morris, the Cyclones have great ball handlers and multiple scoring options. Kansas may have the higher upside of these two teams, but Hilton Coliseum is a really tough place to play and Kansas hasn't yet proven they can get the job done against elite teams on the road. Back the Cyclones with the short number at home. Take Iowa State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Monday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Cleveland Cavaliers ATS Oh how the drama has unfolded in Cleveland. The Cavaliers welcome in the Chicago Bulls Saturday night for NBA on ABC and they'll be going at it with a brand new coach. You read that right, Cleveland parted ways with David Blatt, even though they are atop the Eastern Conference standings. It didn't take long for them to find a head coach, as Tyrone Lue was not only promoted, but was also signed to a multi year contract just minutes after the firing. So many questions have surrounded this Cavaliers team for not playing well against good teams. Now, more questions poise as they now have been given zero excuses for their play going forward. The person they blamed continuously is now gone, putting a lot more pressure on the players to perform. What better way for Cleveland to come out pumped up Saturday with this game being against a big Eastern Conference foe on national TV. Look for the Cavaliers to control the paint and game here as the Bulls are on a back to back and simply scuffling. They've lost it on both sides of the floor, as they're just a mess right now. Look for an inspired Cavaliers play here on Saturday with a very lopsided win coming about. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-23-16 | Kent State -1.5 v. Bowling Green | 62-59 | Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
Kent State ATS The Golden Flashes head into Bowling Green on Saturday for some MAC play and the Golden Flashes lay a very small number here. Kent right now is the class of the East and winning games like this against weaker conference foes is a must if this team hopes to take the next step. Kent State sits first in the MAC East and have three 3-2 teams behind them. One of which is the Bowling Green Falcons. With Kent already losing to Buffalo at home, and two matchups against arch rival Akron looming still, grabbing the early tie breaker against the Falcons would be a huge momentum builder for Kent. Kent's interior game has been dominant thus far too. Jimmy Hall continues to be a force down low. Hall has averaged 15.2 points to go along with nearly 7 rebounds per game this season. Kent State has played through him time after time, but defenses are starting to realize that. The good news here? Jimmy Hall has 100 court awareness. Teams have double teamed him, but he's strong with the ball and is able to find the open guy for an easy bucket. Not much has phased this Kent State team. Bowling Green doesn't shoot the ball all that well, which poses very well for Kent here. Expect the Golden Flashes to really be a force inside and cause havoc. Back Kent State ATS.

01-23-16 | Vanderbilt +6 v. Kentucky | 57-76 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +6 The Vanderbilt Commodores are a much better team than they have shown this year. To be fair, they have played a very tough schedule, and there aren't really any bad losses. Vanderbilt just beat Tennessee on the road though, and that should help them build some momentum. Kentucky is coming off a nice win at Arkansas. The young Wildcats were hungry in that one, but they are unlikely to be able to be quite as pumped up for this one. On the other hand, Vanderbilt badly wants a big win to hang their hat on for the NCAA Tournament. As of now, Vanderbilt would be a bubble team. Vanderbilt has a lot of very good shooters, and they have a good center in Jones. Kentucky's frontcourt has been disappointing this year, and I think with Kornet and Jones Vanderbilt actually has the advantage down low. Grab the points in what should be a close game. Take Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Boise State -5.5 The Boise State Broncos have a big advantage when they take on Wyoming on Saturday night. Boise State is already a better team than Wyoming, but in this one they'll have a much bigger advantage than they thought they would. Why will that advantage be much bigger? Wyoming star Josh Adams is suspended for this game. Adams is Mr. Everything for this team. Adams is averaging 24.6 points per game. He also takes 35% of the shots for the team as a whole. He is their primary ball handler. Wyoming relies on Adams in a big way, and without him they will likely look lost. Boise State already has nice road wins at Nevada and at Utah State this year. Wyoming just lost at home to Nevada, and that was with Adams. One other important factor, Boise State lost to Wyoming in overtime in the Mountain West Tournament last year. They'll look to get some revenge by winning on the road here. They should get it easily without Adams playing. Take Boise State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday *Rare 10* CBB ATS *TOP PLAY* | |||||||

Los Angeles Lakers ATS The Lakers welcome in the 2nd best team in the West and catch mid double digits here at home. While it's crazy to back a bad team against one of the best, with this many points and the situation at hand, the Lakers hold some solid value. For the Spurs, this is a very solid spot for them to overlook the Lakers and not give their best game by any means. First off, this is the 2nd leg of a back to back. They were in Phoenix late Thursday night and traveled in the morning hours into Los Angeles. Also, Monday is the game they've been waiting for all season long. San Antonio finally gets a chance to show the country they can beat the Warriors. Given the situation, it's likely the Spurs really don't care about a 9 win team on the 2nd end of a back to back and with their biggest game of the season thus far awaiting them on Monday. With this game also being in the Staples Center, it gives the Lakers a better chance to put up a fight here. They've shown signs of life at home recently with close games against the Thunder and Clippers, along with a win over New Orleans. Catching this many points, in this spot, is a solid move with Los Angeles. Don't expect the Spurs to be on their A, or even B game here as they simply have other things on their minds.

01-21-16 | Troy State v. Louisiana-Monroe -6 | 74-85 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show | |
Louisiana Monroe -6 The Louisiana Monroe Warhawks have lost four straight games. All four of those games were on the road. The Warhawks are a veteran team that was expected to be one of the better teams in the Sun Belt. While they haven't looked like it so far in the league this year, I still think they are a quality team. Troy just lost six games in a row and then won their last game to break that losing streak. It's common for a team to have a "letdown" factor into the next game after breaking one of those streaks, especially when the team isn't any good. Troy isn't a good team, and the Trojans have played a very weak schedule this year. Monroe beat Troy by nine at home last year, and I think they can be expected to win this one by nine points or more. Take Louisiana Monroe. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Kentucky ATS The Wildcats look to stop the bleeding when they head into Arkansas on Thursday night. We get a very solid line on a much better team thanks to their recent couple games, but it gives them a lot of value here. The Wildcats have to be licking their chops ready to get back at it after falling on Saturday to Auburn on the road. With the loss, the Wildcats now find themselves at #19 in the nation, which is far worse than this Kentucky team deserves. Don't forget, this is the same team that has beat Duke and Louisville this season. They'll be going up against an Arkansas team that has a decent record, but really hasn't played anybody this season. And when they do run into a good team, they haven't shown up. This Razorback team has played two big games this season, Texas A&M and LSU. They have lost both and also have added a compliment of bad losses to teams such as Akron and Mercer. What makes this such a nice play is the fact that Kentucky head coach John Calipari isn't even worried about the team's loss on Saturday. He told reporters after the game he's not worried about his team and that it's only January. Calipari is one of the best and will certainly have his team ready to go here. Look for a hungry Wildcats team to come out with fire here on Thursday, making this play a thing of beauty. Back Kentucky ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 10* CBB TOP PLAY | |||||||

Portland ATS The Trail Blazers welcome in Atlanta on Wednesday night and they catch a couple points here as a slim home underdog. Situationally, they are in a good a spot to back here. Atlanta has struggled against the Northwest Division. They haven't covered in 7 of their last 8 games against Northwest foes. To make matters worse for them here, they begin a stretch 4 straight road games and 6 of 7 on the road. Atlanta just simply hasn't been a good road team this season. They are .500 away from home and have covered in just 9 of 20 road contests. They dropped their latest two road games to weak opponents in the Bucks and Hornets and have fell in 4 straight away from home overall. Portland also comes into this one with some serious steam. They've won 4 of their last 5 and come in off one of their most impressive performances of the season on Monday. CJ McCollum put up 25 points and drilled 6 3-pointers. Portland has averaged 11 3-pointers per game this season. With Portland catching points here, they have a lot of value considering how hot they've been. Combine that with the Hawks poor road play and the Trail Blazers are a solid move here. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
01-20-16 | Texas v. West Virginia -12 | 56-49 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
West Virginia ATS The Mountaineers welcome in Texas on Wednesday and lay double digits here. Even with the high spread, this team is far more better, especially with the home/road splits, making them valuable in this position. WVU is a perfect 8-0 at home this season. In lined games, they are 4-1 ATS and are 9-5 ATS overall. This Mountaineer team has prided themselves on defense and has been able to slow opponents down on a consistent basis game after game. At home, they're allowing the opposition to record just 57.6 points per game. Overall, they allow just 63.8, which is the lowest in the conference. Their offense has been as equally as good. At home, they average a ridiculous 91.1 points per game. They've won 8 of 9 overall, which also includes a win over #3 Kansas. On the road side of things, Texas has gone 2-5 ATS away from home. They haven't been good defensively as they allow 71.0 points per road game. That doesn't bode well for them as they're going up against one of the best offensive teams in the country. Expect the Mountaineers to really get out and fly in transition and to seriously control the paint as Texas and their horrid defense just can't get consistent stops against this good of an offense. Lay the points. Back West Virginia ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

UCF ATS The AAC features a pair of teams going in complete opposition directions here on Wednesday night. This is the opposite of football as UCF comes in hot while the South Florida Bulls look to stop the bleeding. This is a solid spot here to back the road team in UCF and lay the points as they are simply just better than their opponent. The Knights are currently 3rd in the conference and within striking distance of the top spot. They've won 3 of 4 within the conference and have won 8 of their last 11 games. They come in off their most complete and dominant performance of the season as East Carolina proved no match for them on Saturday as they routed them by 20. UCF has been one of the best bets for backers this season as they are 11-2 overall ATS and 4-1 ATS on the road. On the other side of things USF has been horrible. South Florida has fallen into last place in the conference and has lost 11 of their last 12 overall. They are just 3-9 SU at home this season as home court has not been an advantage for them at all. Don't expect the Bulls to put up a fight here. The Knights are hot and haven't showed any signs of slowing down here, making them valuable on Wednesday night. Back UCF ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Akron Zips ATS The Zips welcome in the Eastern Michigan Eagles for a conference showdown and the Zips open at a generous price here, giving them value. The Zips came into this season as heavy favorites to win the MAC, but suffered back to back road defeats, making this home contest very important for them. The good news for Akron is that they're a much different team at home than on the road. Akron is a perfect 7-0 at home this season. They've already defeated a MAC opponent inside James A. Rhodes Arena as they took Western Michigan by 9 points. As far as Eastern Michigan is concerned, they've been a bad road team. They bring in just a 3-5 SU record away from home. With 7 of those games being lined, the Eagles are only 2-5 ATS. Their problems stem on the defensive end. EMU has allowed 80.2 points against over those 8 road games. That doesn't bode well for them as they're going up against a team that scores 76.7 points per home game. Akron is in a position situationally here where they need to grab a win. Going against a weak road opponent is just what they need here. Back Akron ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Chicago Bulls ATS The Bulls head into the Palace to take on the Detroit Pistons and this is certainly a situational spot where the Bulls have a lot of value. Chicago has been reeling lately and certainly aren't playing to their capabilities. On the other side of the things, Detroit is certainly in a let down spot here after they knocked off the Warriors last time out. Chicago certainly isn't as bad as they've played lately. Don't forget, this team was not only picked to be a top team in the East, but they also went through a stretch where they looked like one of the best in the conference. Chicago got 2 days of rest to really regroup, which is another situational positive for them. the Bulls have gone 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games when they have 2 days of rest. The Pistons also haven't responded this season to Monday games. Detroit is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 Monday games. It's just something about the beginning of a new week for them that they can't get over. There is no such things as "being due for a win." However, Chicago just isn't as bad as they've played and to catch 3 points with this team against a Pistons team that certainly isn't better than them is a nice spot. Back Chicago ATS.

Dallas Mavericks ATS The Mavs head in to San Antonio on Sunday night as the two Texas teams battle it out inside the AT&T Center. The line here is a little inflated, making Dallas a very valuable play. It's caught everyone's attention now, the Spurs are undefeated at home this season. This plays into our advantage here as the Mavs are given a very generous line. This Dallas team is no pushover whatsoever. The Mavericks sit 5 games over the .500 mark on the season and are 24-16-1 ATS. They've played very well on the road this season going 13-9-1 ATS over their 23 road contests. Dallas also comes in off their best defensive performance of the season, which is something they'll have to do here to knock off the Spurs. The Mavs closed down the Bulls as they scored just 77 points on Friday. They had no problem shutting down Jimmy Butler for Chicago and will have the similar task stopping Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Dirk Nowitzki is also playing at a solid level. The Mavs star F has scored 20 or more points in 5 of his last 6 games. Look for Dallas to certainly keep this one close, as they did back on 11/25 as they fell by just 5 points in San Antonio. Back the Mavs ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Golden State Warriors ATS The Warriors head into the Palace of Auburn Hills to take on the Pistons Saturday and the line is quite generous here. The Warriors put in a complete performance against the Lakers on Thursday and matchup very well with the Pistons. They handled them with ease earlier this season inside Oracle Arena as they put up a 109-95 win. Golden State held Detroit to just 47% shooting and really slowed their inside game down, which is the Pistons strong suit. Golden State has also dominated the head-to-head overall in the past seasons. The Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against Detroit in the Palace. Overall, they are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings. While it's been a tough task for any team, the Pistons will have a tough time slowing down this fast paced, high scoring Warriors offense. They currently average 115.9 points per game away from home this season. They bring in a road record of 18-3 and are 14-6-1 ATS in those 21 games. Home or away, it doesn't matter, this Warriors team has no problem playing. The favorite has dominated this series trends wise, but that is mostly because Golden State is always favorite against them. Look for a lopsided road victory here for the Warriors as they should be able dominate the Pistons. Back Golden State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |
