Wisconsin -28.5 

The Badgers season hasn't gone quite like they imagined. After falling just short in the Big 10 Championship last season, the Badgers find themselves struggling to string together any sort of momentum.

They come in off a loss at Northwestern, which should certainly wake this team up heading into this home contest with Rutgers.

You're going to get a look at a team looking to take out their frustrations here. Wisconsin is a team that is going to wear you down. With that in mind, this Rutgers defense is not going to be able to slow them down. 

Rutgers gives up 223.4 rush yards per game, which is one of the works marks in the entire nation. This is simply not a good matchup anyway which way you look at it for Rutgers.

Some trends to note. Badgers are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games in November. Badgers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Expect a very lopsided one here.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Pittsburgh +7.5

The Panthers are catching a nice number here on Friday night. This one makes a lot of sense. Pittsburgh has covered in 3 of the last 4 in this series. They have given Virginia a lot of fits in the past as they tend to open the playbook a lot more when these two teams meet. 

Pittsburgh also has an offense that can keep up with a lot of teams in the ACC. The Panthers are averaging over 4 touchdowns per game this year as they offer a nice balanced attack. 

This is also a time to fade the Cavaliers. Over their last 7 games in November, Virginia has gone just 2-5 ATS. 

Some trends to note. Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

There is a significant edge for the Panthers. Grab the points here as this one is close throughout.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Temple vs. UCF Under 60.5

The Owls and Knights battle on Thursday night and this Under has value. 

Both of these defenses are very aggressive and have caused a lot of issues for opposing offenses. 

Looking at Temple first, the Owls are allowing just 21.4 points per contest this season. They are a team that likes to bring a lot of pressure and will force teams to make quick decisions instead of allowing opposing QBs to sit back there. Along with that, the offense plays a role in this number as well. 

Temple's offense likes to run the ball and really chew up the clock. That helps out tremendously for this under. 

UCF has all the attention on their offense, but it's their defense that is quite impressive. The Knights are giving up one of the best numbers in the nation as they sit at just 18.1 points against. 

Both teams have also profited to the Under this year as the Owls are 3-5 while the Knights are 2-5. 

Some trends to note. Under is 12-4 in Owls last 16 games on grass. Under is 13-3 in Knights last 16 games following a ATS win.

Expect a very tightly played game.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB O/U Play

Ohio vs. Western Michigan Under 65

The Ohio Bobcats travel to Western Michigan to take on the Broncos here. Western Michigan will be without Wassink their starting QB for this game. While their backup played well last week, now there is tape on him and his head coach even said he is concerned with his backups decision making.

Ohio has decided to run the ball more of late and play very slowly. The Bobcats have been much more successful in recent games since employing this less aggressive strategy. I don't see any reason they would change back to a faster pace with more passing here. If it isn't broke don't try to fix it.

Western Michigan will run the ball a lot here with a backup QB and Ohio will run it a lot as well. This is a high total for a contest between two teams running the ball a bunch.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB O/U Play

Toledo -18.5

Weekday MACtion continues and the Rockets at home have value on Wednesday night.

While this is a big number, the Rockets are a team that can score. Toledo not only ranks as one of the top offenses in the MAC, but in the entire nation when it comes to putting up points. They rank 12th overall, averaging 40.8 points per contest this season. 

They come in with some momentum here as well. The Rockets put up 51 points on Western Michigan and have shown they can strike quickly. 

This simply isn't a good matchup for Ball State after looking at all that. The Cardinals put up only 23.8 points per game as this offense is very one dimensional. Expect them to be taken out of their comfort zone early in this one, which should result in some mistakes for Ball State.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. Cardinals are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Buffalo -7

MACtion is back in full swing during the week and the Bulls laying the points here have value.

Despite Miami's 3-5 record, the Redhawks come into this one with a 3-1 MAC record, making this one a huge West Division affair. The Bulls enter this one a perfect 4-0 and have rattled off 7 wins already this season.

They've been beating teams with their defense here in 2018. The Bulls rank 26th in the nation in total yards against and sit 11th against the pass. They constantly are putting pressure on in the backfield and forcing opposing teams into short drives or turnovers. 

That should be the case here as this Redhawks offense is not very powerful. They rank 100th overall in total yards and are one of the worst in the conference. Expect Buffalo to really put the pressure on, knowing that this Miami team isn't going to take many shots down field.

Some trends to note. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games, are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Grab the home side.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CFB ATS Play

Notre Dame -23.5 

The Fighting Irish laying the points here on Saturday night has value in Navy.

Notre Dame and Navy have played to some entertaining games in the past, this one, however, is going to get out of hand. 

Notre Dame ranks #3 in the nation and this team is clicking on all cylinders. The Fighting Irish struggled against Pittsburgh but used the bye week to catch their breath and prep for this stretch run.

Navy's defense is going to be the difference here. The Midshipmen allowed 49 to Houston last week and rank 107th in the nation in points against per game. 

Some trends to note. Midshipmen are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. INDEP. Midshipmen are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Lay the points here as this one is just too lopsided. 

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Washington State vs. Stanford Over 53.5

The Washington State Cougars throw the ball on 72 percent of their passing plays. That's more than ten percent higher than the team with the second most passing plays as a portion of their offensive plays. Minshew has been a great fit at the quarterback spot, and Washington State always has a bunch of quality receivers. Stanford only has one reliable cornerback this year, and I think Washington State is a team who can take advantage of that weakness.

Stanford's running game has been disappointing this year, but Costello and this passing attack have been solid. Stanford has big receivers who will have clear matchup advantages in this contest. I see a lot of big play potential.

Neither of these defenses are as good as they were a year ago. This number has been bet down to a point where the over has clear value.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Tulane PK

The Tulane Green Wave blasted the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 62-28 last year. Is it a revenge spot here for Tulsa? Sure. However, Tulsa needs to prove to me that they can stop this unique spread option offense that Tulane runs. The Green Wave rumbled for a whopping 488 yards on the ground last year. They averaged 7.0 yards per carry.

Tulsa's passing game is non-existent. Tulane knows what is coming from Tulsa, and Tulane's defensive strength is in the run game. Look for the Tulane defensive front to hold its own and do a solid job against the run here.

Tulane is extremely well-coached by Willie Fritz, and they have a lot of veteran players at the key skill position spots.

Tulsa is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. That fits this spot, and I'll take the Tulane ground game to win this contest.

Back Tulane.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Arkansas State -3

Arkansas State has been one of the top teams in the Sun Belt for several years in a row. Arkansas State is arguably the single most talented team in the league this season. The Red Wolves were blown out at home by Appalachian State a couple weeks ago, and that has made the market too low on this team. One game doesn't define this team, and this roster is loaded with talent.

Justice Hansen and this group of wide receivers make up what is the best passing attack in the Sun Belt. Louisiana's defense has struggled with giving up big gainers in the passing game. They look to be in some serious trouble here.

The Ragin' Cajuns offense has been good this year, but I give Arkansas State a good chance of winning the battle in the trenches with their defensive front and making it harder for Louisiana to consistently move the ball with the big gainers they are accustomed to getting.

Back Arkansas State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Penn State -6.5 

The Nittany Lions laying under the key number of 7 here has nice value on Saturday. 

Penn State put an end to their 2 game losing skid with a win in Indiana last Saturday and they've found their groove back after the short stint. 

This is a great matchup for Penn State, as Iowa simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up.

The Hawkeyes continued to struggle in the red zone last week against Maryland and leaving points off the board in this one will come back to haunt them big time. Iowa ranks just 76th in total offense as they lack any sort of explosiveness. When you're taking on the 9th ranking scoring offense in the NCAA, that certainly doesn't mix well either.

Some trends to note. Nittany Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nittany Lions are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

South Florida vs. Houston Over 74

A crucial AAC contest pins the undefeated Bulls against the Cougars on Saturday. This Over has tremendous value and is worth a big play here.

South Florida has one of the top offenses in the nation entering Saturday. Ranking 11th in total offense, the Bulls have racked up 505 yards per game and can strike with the big play at any moment. 

Blake Barnett has racked up 1810 yards in total while accounting for 10 touchdowns through the air and 7 on the ground. He'll need that and more thanks to his defense ranking 88th in the nation.

Houston meanwhile has found a way to top this South Florida offense. They rank 3rd in the NCAA in total yards and 2nd in points per game with nearly 49 points per contest. 

Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in Cougars last 6 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Over is 8-1 in Bulls last 9 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Expect a back and forth, entertaining affair.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB O/U TOP PLAY

Wisconsin vs. Northwestern Under 52.5

Alex Hornibrook isn't expected to be ready for this contest. He is in concussion protocol and will likely miss this game. Wisconsin is a good team, but depth at quarterback has been a real problem for them.

Wisconsin has a great running game, but if the opponent doesn't respect the pass they will load up the box and slow down the run much easier. Northwestern is going to load the box here and dare Wisconsin to throw the football.

The Northwestern offense ranks second in the nation in highest percentage of plays that are a pass. Why? Because they are 129th in the nation in yards per carry. Northwestern has no running game at all. Clayton Thorson will likely be pressured by the Wisconsin front four here, and I wouldn't expect him to be able to get much going in the passing game.

These two have a long history of low scoring games against each other.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Louisiana Tech +3.5

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have a great underdog coach in Skip Holtz. This is a guy who is a master motivator and you better believe he'll use two things to his advantage here. First, LA Tech is an underdog and he always can use that to motivate his players. Second, Florida Atlantic ran up the score on them last time around, and they'll want to pay back this Owls team for that contest.

Florida Atlantic doesn't have the same kind of chemistry they had a year ago. This is a team that is making all sorts of mistakes and they don't have the great offensive lines to open up huge holes in the ground game anymore. They also don't have a quarterback who takes care of the ball.

The Bulldogs have played everyone tough this year. They even won the stats in their road game against LSU earlier this year.

Grab the points here, and I think LA Tech pulls the outright win.

Back the Bulldogs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -13.5

Laying under 2 touchdowns here has value on Thursday night. 

West Virginia is going to come out in this one fired up and looking to take out some frustrations after their recent debacle in Iowa State. The loss came from nowhere, as the Cyclones dominated the Mountaineers in every facet. 

This is a nice matchup for the Mountaineers. Baylor has struggled mightily on the road, allowing 36.3 points per game. This secondary has burned time and time again, which is a recipe for disaster against a team like West Virginia. 

The Mountaineers 36.8 points per game is one of the tops in the Big 12 as Senior quarterback Will Grier has accounted for 22 touchdowns. Aside from the Iowa State game, he has picked apart secondaries and will have a chip on his shoulder to bounce back here.

Some trends to note.  Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

Lay the points here. Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCF -21

UCF hasn't been stopped this season and now have themselves in the Top 10 as they enter play this week. 

The #9 team in the nation has a clear cut advantage heading into East Carolina here. 

This Knights offense has proven to be one of the best in the nation. UCF has averaged 45.7 points per game and junior quarterback McKenzie Milton has dominated the opposition both with his arm and legs. 

Milton has accounted for 22 scores this season with 6 being on the ground. He takes on a defense that has given up 32.2 points per game as the Pirates have been picked apart on many occasions through their first 6 games.

Some trends to note. Knights are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on grass. Knights are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

Lay this number.

Back UCF. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play 

Alabama -28.5

The Crimson Tide laying the big number is a nice move here.

While Tennessee comes in off a huge win, this is quite the step here for them. This is simply a matchup they won't be able to keep up in.

Alabama comes into this one averaging a ridiculous 53.6 points per game. Led by sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, this Alabama offense can hit you in so many ways. He has tossed for 1760 yards this season and 21 touchdowns all while avoiding an interception. 

Tennessee has been about as average as can be this season and that simply won't get the job done here against this kind of competition.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 meetings. Crimson Tide are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Tennessee.

Lay the points.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Utah State vs. Wyoming Under 51.5

The Utah State Aggies defense is a top 15 unit in the country. Utah State's linebackers are extremely fast and athletic. Woodward has turned into a star at the linebacker spot, and he leads the Mountain West in tackles. Utah State has a great pass rush, and that should be a major problem for a Wyoming team with a quarterback that holds the ball too long and a very questionable pass blocking offensive line.

Wyoming's only chance here is to run the ball early and often and slow the tempo down a lot. The Cowboys are dreadful on offense this year. They have no passing game, and their running game hasn't been very good because everyone knows a run is coming and they don't respect the Wyoming passing game.

Wyoming's defense is once again very good. They are a top three defense in the conference. Utah State has been rolling up the points so far this year, but they face a much better defense here and it is in a tough environment in Wyoming.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play

Florida Atlantic vs. Marshall Under 62.5

The Florida Atlantic Owls and Marshall Thundering Herd meet on Saturday in Huntington, West Virginia. These are the two most talented teams in the conference, and I expect a hard hitting battle here. Last year's game between these two stayed easily under the total, and I think this posted total is once again set too high.

Florida Atlantic's defense returned 10 starters from last year. The Owls were bad early in the season on defense, but most of their bad numbers were against great offenses like Oklahoma. A lot of defenses will look bad against them.

Marshall has the best balanced defense in Conference USA. They are especially strong in the front seven, and Florida Atlantic's running attack isn't likely to work as well as it does against most opponents.

This game means a lot to both teams and I expect the defenses to step up.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB O/U Play

Virginia +7

The Duke Blue Devils have been tremendous as an underdog under David Cutcliffe. They aren't nearly as good in the role of the favorite. They are laying a touchdown here in a game with a total of 44.5. It's important to remember that a touchdown in a low total environment is a much bigger relative spread than it is with a high total.

Bronco Mendenhall's Virginia Cavs run the football very effectively with Perkins at quarterback in the read option attack. They slow the game down and they'll try to control the time of possession here.

Duke's offense has been really inconsistent this year. It has taken a lot of big defensive plays or special teams plays for them to score in recent weeks. Those are hard to duplicate week after week.

Virginia comes into this one with a bunch of momentum after upsetting Miami last weekend.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Michigan vs. Michigan State Under 41.5 

The rivalry is renewed on Saturday as Michigan and Michigan State get set for battle with a lot on the line.

The Wolverines have found their way back into the National Championship conversation while the Spartans come in off a huge upset over Penn State. 

Both these teams have been absolutely dominant on the defensive end. The Wolverines boast one of the best defenses in the NCAA, allowing only 15.3 points per game. Michigan State leaned on their defense last week to slow down the high flying Nittany Lions and have given up only 22.3 points against. 

Expect both teams to clearly get up for this one as well, which should turn it into a very grind it out kind of game.

With that in mind and how this series has typically played out in terms of the aggressiveness on the defensive end, look for limited scoring chances.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play

Temple -3.5 

The Cincinnati Bearcats are a good team, but they aren't nearly as good as this number would suggest. They are also at #20 in the AP Top 25 now, and they are very overrated at that spot. Who has Cincinnati beaten this year? The Bearcats are clearly much improved, but this is too much.

Cincinnati now must faced the fifth ranked overall defense in the country when it comes to yards per play allowed. Temple's defensive line is the best one Cincinnati has had to face this year, and it isn't very close. The Bearcats aren't likely to be able to run the ball much at all here.

Since Russo has taken over at quarterback this Temple offense has been much better. The Cincinnati run defense is good, but their secondary is a weakness. They haven't played teams that can take advantage of it this year, but that is about to change.

Back Temple.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Arizona State +3

The Sun Devils plus the points here is a nice move on Thursday night.

Situationally this one makes a lot of sense. Arizona State have been great as home underdogs dating back to the last couple seasons. 

The Sun Devils come into this one a solid 14-5 ATS in such cases. 

Along with that, ASU has been a moneymaker off a loss when playing at home in their next contest going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 occasions,

This ASU offense is where the value will come in as well. They have been very undervalued in this season, putting up 29.8 points per game. They have seen that number increase to 39 points per game when playing at home too.

Some trends to note. Cardinal are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Cardinal are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

The home team is 10-4-1 ATS in this series over the last 15. Grab the points.

Back Arizona State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

. 

Georgia State vs. Arkansas State Under 57.5

The Georgia State Panthers are one of the worst teams in college football this year. Georgia State has played a weak schedule and they have struggled to score in several of those games.

Arkansas State plays a much tougher schedule than does Georgia State. The Red Wolves have been tested by teams like Alabama, Tulsa, UNLV, and Appalachian State already this year. Arkansas State's defense doesn't look very good on paper, but the Red Wolves are going to be one of the best defenses in Sun Belt action.

Georgia State has been better on defense than offense the last few years. The Panthers will look to slow the pace of the game down here, and I think that gives value to the under.

Arkansas State's running attack is weak, and if they are leading late in the game and trying to run out the clock, that is a big benefit for the under.

Some trends to consider. The Under is 6-1 in Panthers last 7 games following a straight up loss. The under is 4-0 in Red Wolves last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points and is 7-1 in Red Wolves last 8 conference games.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB O/U Play

Georgia -7.5

The Bulldogs laying the points here have value on Saturday. 

Georiga has just ran through the competition thus far here in 2018, going 6-0 and making things look easy a majority of the time.

Georgia has outscored the opposition 42-13 this season as they have been overpowering on both sides of the ball.

The Bulldogs have leaned on Quarterback Jake Fromm, who ranks 5th in the nation with nearly a 73% pass completion rate this season. Georgia has been able to strike quickly with the big play and that is one thing LSU doesn't do. Expect big plays from Georgia, which will put LSU out of their comfort zone in this one.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games on grass.

Lay the points.

Back Georgia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington -3

The Huskies laying the field goal is a nice move Saturday afternoon.

Washington comes into this one winners of 5 straight after dropping their season opener to Auburn. They have done just about everything right over the past 5 weeks, as this defense is one of the tops in the nation. 

Washington has allowed just 13.7 points against, as they've been able to cause a lot of havoc in opposing backfields. 

Here, they should be able to do just that against an Oregon team that does not protect well up front. In the Ducks lone loss to Stanford, they struggled in the 2nd half at containing pressure. Look for Washington to bring a lot of that right from the beginning here.

Some trends to note. Ducks are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Ducks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Lay the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Army vs. San Jose State Under 52

The Army Cadets are a good team to play the under with. Why? They run the football and get about 4 or 5 yards per play and very slowly get down the field. Army is one of those teams that could literally possess the ball for an entire quarter in going the length of the field. If they drive the ball down the field and kick a field goal it's a big win for the under.

San Jose State's offense is totally reliant on the run. They are dead last in the nation in rushing yards per carry. The Spartans have been able to throw for quite a few yards on some really weak defenses of late, but this Army defense is better than most they have played against. Army knows San Jose State is going to air it out, and I expect Army to come prepared.

This one is played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, so this is a neutral field that has been good for under bettors in the past.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play

Southern Miss +9.5

Southern Miss has played well so far this year. Jack Abraham has been much better than many expected in his role at quarterback. The Golden Eagles have thrown the ball around this year, and it has worked with a consistent passer like Abraham.

The most impressive aspect of this Southern Miss team is their defense. The Golden Eagles are 22nd in the nation in yards per play allowed. They have been great at bending without breaking too. Their strength is playing great defense in the red zone.

North Texas' Mason Fine is a bit dinged up now, and the Mean Green narrowly beat lowly UTEP last weekend.  North Texas no longer has a strong running game like they had last year. It has made this team too one-dimensional on offense. Southern Miss should be able to get pressure on Fine this week, and I think that could give him some trouble.

Too many points for a quality team like Southern Miss.

Back Southern Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

UAB vs. Rice Under 52.5

It's a battle between two teams who love to run the football. UAB has run the ball on 65% of their plays so far this season. Rice has run the ball on 57% of their plays this year. The Rice Owls want to run the ball even more than that going forward. A lot of running the football means the clock will keep rolling throughout in this one. This should be one of those games that goes by very quickly.

UAB is using up 27 seconds between plays, which makes them much slower than the average team in terms of tempo. The Blazers aren't getting many big plays either. They methodically move the ball down the field. Rice's defense has looked much better the last couple weeks.

Rice is a little more than 29 seconds between plays, and they are among the ten slowest teams in the country.

A couple trends of note. The under is 12-2 in UAB's last 14 games overall. The under is 6-1 in their last 7 road games.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB O/U Play

Ohio State -29.5

The Buckeyes had their hands full with the Hoosiers last week and will come into this one with a very lopsided matchup. 

The Golden Gophers have been very underwhelming this year. Averaging only 27 points per game, this team is very one dimensional when it comes to their offensive strategy. They like to run the ball and try to cut down the clock. However, that is not something that you can do against this Ohio State team.

The Buckeyes 49 points per game has resulted from Dwayne Haskins Jr. racking up 25 touchdowns on the season. This offense is far too explosive and will be too tough for the Golden Gophers to slow down here.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf.

Lay the points.

Back Ohio State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State Under 62

The Oklahoma State Cowboys defense is weak against the pass, and that is how several teams have put up big yardage and point totals against them. The Cowboys defense is very strong against the run though. Why does that matter in this one? Kansas State has very little passing attack, and they'll run the ball very often here.

The Kansas State Wildcats don't want any part of a high scoring game here. They'll look to run the ball and control the clock and keep the fast paced Oklahoma State Cowboys off the field. Bill Snyder's teams have been good as home underdogs, and home underdogs in conference play always makes me lean toward the under.

There is some wind in the area for Saturday, and that will make it a bit tougher to throw it around than normal also.

This is a very high total for a game involving Kansas State.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

South Florida -7

The Bulls laying the points here have value on Friday night.

South Florida is simply too fast and too overpowering for Tulsa to keep up with here.

The Bulls are averaging 37.2 points per game as this offense can hit you in so many different ways. The Bulls have averaged 274 yards per game through the air, while rushing for 213.4. The balanced attack has kept teams off balanced and has allowed them to strike for the big play numerous times throughout games. 

Tulsa meanwhile, has been outscored on averaged 31-24 this season. This team simply isn't built to hang with the Bulls on either side of the ball.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Friday games. Bulls are 8-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

Lay the points.

Back South Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Texas Tech +7.5

The Red Raiders catch a nice number here on Thursday night when they head into TCU.

Texas Tech has been dominant off a bye, which is the first big trend here. The Red Raiders have covered 4 straight games coming off a bye week. 

To go along with that, they welcome back QB Alan Bowman. He has been a huge piece to the success this team has found here in 2018. Bowman has thrown for 1680 yards so far this season while boasting an 11-3 touchdown to interception ratio. 

Tech's 48 points per game rank as one of the tops in the nation as well, as they should be able to give TCU's defense plenty of fits.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games. Red Raiders are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

Grab the points.

Back Texas Tech ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Wyoming vs. Hawaii Under 55

The Wyoming Cowboys have struggled mightily on offense this year. How bad have they been? They scored only 17 points against Wofford in a win earlier this year. Wyoming isn't going to score a bunch of points on anyone this year.

Hawaii has been very good on offense, but if you looked at who they have played thus far, they definitely haven't done it against top defenses. The Wyoming defense will be very good this year, and the Cowboys should get into the backfield and get Hawaii behind the chains far more often than they have been throughout the season.

Wyoming will slow the pace of the game with their consistent running. Hawaii's tempo has only been about average this year, but they have had a lot of big plays. I think Wyoming cuts down on those big plays and we see a lower scoring game than is expected.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB 8* O/U Play

Notre Dame -4.5

The Fighting Irish continue to put together solid performances and they hold value here on Saturday in VT.

Playing at night in Virginia Tech is never an easy task, but this Fighting Irish team is just playing so well right now. 

Notre Dame comes in off an impressive home win over Stanford, a game in which they dominated in all facets in the 2nd half. Offensively, they were able to move the ball with ease and keep the chains moving on third down. Defensively, they were getting plenty of pressure on the backfield and forcing the Cardinal into some forced plays. 

The Hokies meanwhile haven't looked necessarily great. A huge upset loss to Old Dominion has highlighted their season as this defense ranks 78th in the nation in total yards against.

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Fighting Irish are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.

Lay the points here.

Back Notre Dame ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

UAB +9.5

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs played LSU close a couple weeks ago. They then went on the road and beat North Texas, who was a favorite on their side of the conference. They come home now to play a UAB team that is flying under the radar once again.

UAB was one of the most amazing stories in the country last year. The Blazers got to a bowl game in their first season back in FBS. Bill Clark has done an amazing job with this program. They are able to play teams with superior talent very tightly because of their strong and unique ground game.

Louisiana Tech is in a bit of a letdown spot here after two huge games. They are solid favorites and they have to be thinking they should win this one. It's a tricky spot, and I'll gladly grab the points here.

Back UAB.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

South Florida -13.5

The South Florida Bulls lay under 2 touchdowns here and have nice value at the given number.

UMass has put out one of the worst defensive teams in the entire nation this season. The Minutemen rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category thus far. 

They come into Saturday allowing 42.7 points per game, which is by far one of the worst numbers of any team. They've been vulnerable to the big play time and time again, as they were just torched by Ohio for 58 points. 

That doesn't bode well for them as USF averages 32 points per game and ranks 39th in total offense. The high tempo and ability to strike with both the run and pass makes this team a handful for opposing defenses. Look for the Bulls to get out quickly here and put this team on their heels early on.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Bulls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.

Lay the points. 

Back USF ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Florida +3

The LSU Tigers are 5-0. LSU was picked to be right around #25 or so in the country in the preseason. They are up to 5th in the polls. The Tigers are undoubtedly a good team, but they aren't as good as their record would indicate. They also aren't as good as their ranking at this point.

Florida was disappointing early in the year, and their home loss to Kentucky made many bettors throw them out to the trash. It turns out Kentucky was a really good team, and Florida has played much better the last couple weeks. The Gators showed me something last week with their defensive performance against Nick Fitzgerald and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Ed Orgeron is a middle of the road coach. He has never had success as a road favorite in his coaching career. LSU comes into this one feeling awfully good about themselves. This should be the spot where Florida knocks them down a notch or two.

I think Florida wins outright.  Florida is the value side here.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday CFB 10* TOP Play

Texas vs. Oklahoma Over 60 

The Red River Shootout takes place on Saturday afternoon and this Over has value. 

Looking at Oklahoma first, the Sooners offense has been lights out. Averaging nearly 50 points per game, this Sooners offense has endured plenty of big plays that have led to them scoring quick touchdowns. 

They rank 12th in total offense and come in off a 66 point performance against Baylor. A flaw in the Sooners, which helps us here, is their defense hasn't performed at a top level. Oklahoma still allowed 33 points against Baylor and concedes over 400 yards against per game. 

Meanwhile, the Longhorns come in with some nice momentum themselves. Winners of 4 in a row, Texas has put up some big numbers against the likes of TCU and USC thus far.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma. Over is 6-1 in Sooners last 7 games on grass.

This has been a notorious high scoring matchup. Expect the same here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Missouri -1

The South Carolina Gamecocks are expected to be without Jake Bentley at quarterback for this one. Bentley has done a better job than most realize for South Carolina, and I think there is a clear downgrade here for this S Carolina offense.

Missouri's offense has been able to move the ball and score quite a few points against everyone they have played this year. The Tigers have a future NFL quarterback in Drew Lock at the helm, and he has a better offensive line in front of him this year. Missouri should score quite a few on a S Carolina defense that isn't as good as it usually is.

Can South Carolina keep up? I doubt it. The Gamecocks offense isn't all that explosive with their starting quarterback, and I think things will get worse without him. It's hard to see them trading punches with Lock and the Missouri offense.

Back Missouri.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Georgia Tech vs. Louisville Over 57

The Yellow Jackets and Cardinals battle Friday night and this Over has value.

This marks the first meeting between the two teams, which certainly values the triple option in this spot. 

Georgia Tech's triple option has always been tough to stop for opposing defenses, but when you're seeing it live for the first time, film on it can only go so far. The Yellow Jackets have put up 36.4 points as well this year, as their offense is clicking on all cylinders. 

Louisville knows they have to open the playbook to find any success. The Cardinals take on a defense that has struggled on the road which adds value to this total. The Yellow Jackets have given up 37 points per road game while going 0-2 that span.

Some trends to note. Over is 15-6 in Yellow Jackets last 21 games in October. Over is 19-9-1 in Yellow Jackets last 29 vs. a team with a losing record.

Expect a back and forth game here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB O/U Play

Tulsa vs. Houston Over 68

Thursday night football pins the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and the Houston Cougars against one another. 

This total is set at 68 and the Over has solid value.

Looking at Houston first, this offense has been on a different level. The Cougars come in first in the nation with 607 yards per game. In the 4 game span, they've put up 52.2 points per contest. 

What makes this team so special is they have done it with a balanced attack too. They'll take that balanced attack in against a defense that has allowed 29 points per game, which ranks 85th in the nation.

Tulsa's offense has had their own success as well. The Golden Hurricane have rumbled for 209. yards on the ground this season, which ranks 34th. Look for them to find a lot of open gaps here in this Houston defense and really look to strike with the play action as the game goes on.

Expect both teams to really have scoring opportunities.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB O/U Play

Ole Miss vs. LSU Over 59.5

The Ole Miss Rebels are fourth in the nation, averaging 8.01 yards per play. Jordan Ta'amu is a great fit for this offense. The Rebels want to take a lot of deep shots, and Ta'amu is throwing to some really good wide receivers. Ole Miss has a top five group of wide receivers in the country. They are likely to complete quite a few big plays. Ole Miss already has a whopping 25 plays of 30 yards or more so far this year.

LSU hasn't been great offensively, but this Ole Miss defense has been terrible. Southern Illinois made this Ole Miss defense look bad, and the Rebels are going to get torn apart in the SEC with their weak defensive front. Look for some more explosive plays from LSU this weekend.

Ole Miss will push the tempo, and LSU isn't playing as slowly as they have the last few years.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play

Notre Dame -5.5

The Fighting Irish line has jumped, but they still have value here on Saturday night.

Notre Dame isn't getting as much attention as maybe they should be, but that's certainly okay with them. They come in against Stanford for the 22nd straight time and this is a revenge spot. Stanford has won 3 straight in this series and don't think ND has forgot that. 

The Fighting Irish may have their most complete team this season as they have two QBs who have both seen playing time. It was Ian Book who accounted for 5 touchdowns last week as this offense is in very nice form.

While Stanford completed an epic comeback last week, the Cardinal still have a lot of work to do. This team hasn't looked sharp on the defensive end and we saw last week that they are very vulnerable in the secondary. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

With the revenge factor and the Fighting Irish playing so well, this is a nice spot to lay the number.

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

San Jose State +10

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have been a good story so far this year, but they have played a very weak schedule. Hawaii has played the 123rd toughest schedule in the country out of 130 teams. Hawaii has been getting some big plays against some really bad defenses. Their offense will continue to be good, but they are overvalued right now.

Hawaii has a long history of performing poorly away from home. The Warriors are a lowly 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 road games against a home team with a losing record. Hawaii is 14-36 ATS in their last 50 conference games overall.

San Jose State isn't quite the bottom-feeder they have been in recent years. Their defense is enough improved that they were able to keep things close against Oregon. San Jose State should be able to run the football enough to keep this game very close.

Back San Jose State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Baylor +24

The Oklahoma Sooners are a very good team, but they are in a tough spot here. They play Texas, their rivals, in their next game. Why would they want to run up the score against a Baylor team that is rebuilding? They should want to be ready for their next contest.

I also like Matt Rhule as a coach, and I believe he has this Baylor team on the right path. In his last 27 games in the role of the underdog, Rhule's teams are 20-7 ATS. That's a big plus for this one, especially since they are catching so many points.

The Baylor defense is improved some this season, and Oklahoma's defense is down a bit. I also believe the Sooners will suffer some from losing star running back Rodney Anderson.

This is a lot of points, and especially considering the situation- I have to grab the big dog here.

Back Baylor.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCF -13

Central Florida laying the points here is a nice move for us on Saturday.

This Pittsburgh defense is too much of a liability. The Panthers allowed 38 points to UNC last week and will face an offense that has a very similar style.

The Golden Knights offense is rolling as well. Averaging 50 points per game through their perfect 3-0 start, UCF saw a solid performance from Junior quarterback McKenzie Milton last time out. Milton tossed for 3 touchdowns and 306 yards through the air as the Golden Knights put up 56 on FAU. 

Defensively, UCF is also in a nice spot. They have forced 9 turnovers and have given this offense some short fields to work with. If they can get that going early, UCF should be able to take off here.

Some trends to note. Knights are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in September. Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Lay the points.

Back UCF.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Kent State +7.5

The Kent State Golden Flashes are more than a touchdown underdog here, and that's too much against a Ball State team that has been among the worst in the country in the last couple seasons. This is more about fading Ball State as a large favorite than anything else.

Kent State has tested themselves with road trips to Penn State and Ole Miss. They were in the game against Ole Miss for quite a while, and I believe this new Kent State coaching staff is making some gains for this program. The faster paced offense will work better in the MAC.

Ball State couldn't make any key plays down the stretch last week against Western Kentucky, and the Hilltoppers are a weak team. Ball State's defense allows a bunch of big plays. Kent's offense is more than capable of big plays with their style of play now.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -3.5

The Mountaineers lay a nice number here on Saturday in Texas Tech.

West Virginia's Will Grier has been on a different level thus far through the first 3 games of the season. The star QB ranks 2nd in pass efficiency, 4th in total offense, and 3rd in pass yards per game.

He's certainly a top name for the Heisman in the early going and has this West Virginia team averaging 42.3 points per game thus far.

What makes this team so special though is their defense. Allowing only 12 points per game through the first 3, the Mountaineers have been just incredibly dominant. They are getting off the field on third downs and really making things hectic for opposing QBs. Look for them to put a ton of pressure on in the backfield here, as they know they can't let this Tech offense get into any sort of rhythm.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Red Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Colorado -9.5

The Bruins are a complete mess. Laying the points here with Colorado is a nice play on Friday night.

The Buffs come in a perfect 3-0 and have two impressive wins over Colorado State and Nebraska thus far.

It's been the offense that has carried the load for them, as they have put up 41 points per game thanks to Steven Montez and Laviska Shenault. The duo has connected 26 times for 3 scores and 455 yards. Look for them to exploit this UCLA secondary, that just hasn't been able to stop anyone this season.

Some trends to note. Bruins are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 conference games. Bruins are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games.

UCLA has lost to both Cincinnati and Fresno with Oklahoma mixed in there. This team just doesn't have any spark and simply has horrible QB issues going on.

Lay the points.

Back Colorado.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

North Carolina +18

The Tar Heels catch a lot of points here on Thursday and have value at this number. 

North Carolina has been itching to get into some rhythm after the hurricane has already forced them to cancel one of their contests. 

UNC comes in off an impressive win over Pittsburgh, a game in which the offense exploded for 38 points. 

To add to this value here, the Tar Heels will get 7 of their players back, who were serving 3 game suspensions. One of those is sophomore Chazz Surratt, who may not get the nod yet, but could see some action. If anything, he'll put a little pressure on junior Nathan Elliott to continue his performance level. 

Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Tar Heels are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Grab the points.

Back UNC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

Eastern Michigan vs. San Diego State Under 49

The Eastern Michigan Eagles won at Purdue earlier this year. This is a MAC team who has played well as an underdog in the past. Eastern Michigan has had a solid defense the last few seasons. They trend to struggle getting explosive plays on offense.

San Diego State's team looks similar each year. Rocky Long is a great coach, and he has found a winning formula. San Diego State is going to run the ball over and over again here. They'll likely have some success, but they will take a bunch of time moving down the field. The Aztecs rank in the bottom ten in the nation in pace of play.

Eastern Michigan definitely isn't accustomed to playing against defenses as good as this San DIego State defense. I don't expect them to have much success offensively. It should be a typical San Diego State type of contest. A low scoring grinder where the Aztecs win.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Oregon +2.5

The Oregon Ducks aren't getting any love at home against Stanford on Saturday night. Oregon played a poor game last week against San Jose State. They beat the lowly Spartans by only 13 points. Why did they have that small of a margin? Oregon was clearly looking ahead to this big game. They could coast past San Jose State. Now, Oregon should be ready to roll for this game.

Jim Leavitt is one of the best defensive coordinators in the country, and I expect him to have a good scheme ready to slow down the Stanford offense. Costello has been pretty good at QB for the Cardinal, but he still hasn't been involved in a tight game against a good opponent late on the road. That's likely to change on Saturday. Oregon has a great home field advantage and this place will be packed.

Herbert is a great quarterback for this Oregon system. I'm not very high on Stanford's defense. They have faced some one-dimensional offenses this year, but that changes when they face Oregon on Saturday night.

Oregon isn't getting much respect, but they should win this one.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State -14

The Cowboys are worthy of a move here on Saturday night when they host Texas Tech. 

The Red Raiders defense is the reason for the value here.

Texas Tech has been known to have just a horrific defense over the recent years. That has held true once again here in 2018 as they have given up an average of 32 points per game. Those numbers could easily be a lot worse as they have continued to get burned time and time again by the quick offense.

That plays well into the Cowboys offense, who works with pace and loves to throw the ball down field. 

The Cowboys have averaged 52 points per game thus far as Taylor Cornelius has picked up right where Mason Rudolph left off. The Cowboys QB has 971 yards with 3 touchdowns and has really been able to open the playbook thanks to his run game getting established early. 

Oklahoma State has all the value in this one.

Back Oklahoma State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Coastal Carolina vs. Louisiana Lafayette Over 63.5

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers put up 47 points against a quality UAB defense earlier this year. Coastal Carolina has their head coach back after he missed last year with a medical issue. They look like a much better offense this season.

Louisiana Lafayette has a good offensive line, a reliable quarterback in Nunez, and some good receivers. The Ragin' Cajuns aren't likely to be slowed down very often by this Coastal Carolina defense. The Chanticleers are relatively small on the defensive front, and they are short on talent in the secondary as well.

There should be a lot of big plays back and forth in this one. Look for a close game and a shootout.

A couple trends of note. The over is 8-0 in Coastal Carolina's last 8 September games. The over is a perfect 6-0 in Louisiana Lafayette's last 6 games overall. A solid 14-0 trend.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Virginia Tech -27

The Hokies lay a big number here but have a lot of value to work with on Saturday.

The Hokies laid this kind of number last season against Old Dominion and rolled to a 38-0 win over the Monarchs. 

It's pretty much the same scenario here as home field advantage in ODU really doesn't play much of a factor. In fact, we get a much better and more complete put together team in the Hokies this year. 

They have been absolutely dominant on the defensive end, while the offense has been able to strike with the big play. 

ODU has dropped all 3 games this season and owns a 1-7-1 ATS run at home over their last 9 games.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September. Hokies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games.

Lay the number here.

Back Virginia Tech ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS Play

Ball State -3

The Ball State Cardinals come home for a game against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Western Kentucky is coming off a close loss to Louisville, and I think that has made them overvalued at this point. Western Kentucky is still a team with no running game on offense, and they have a highly suspect defense as well.

Ball State's offense has had serious injury problems in recent years, and they are finally healthy on offense once again. This is a team that should have success on offense against weaker competition. Ball State has played two straight games against tough competition. This is a big step down, and I think that will show up nicely on Saturday.

Western Kentucky is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games. The Hilltoppers are also 1-8 ATS in their last 9 September games. They can't be trusted.

Back Ball State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Ole Miss -28.5

Ole Miss will be in a rebound spot here as they welcome in MAC opponent Kent State on Saturday. 

Mississippi scored on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday's marquee matchup against Alabama. However, the bottom fell out immediately as the Crimson Tide threw up 62 unanswered to route the Rebels. 

For starters, don't expect a hangover here. Ole Miss endured their loss early in the season and will have plenty of chances to get back into the SEC race. 

This is a game where there will be plenty of frustrations will come out. While Kent State has shown they can compete with the likes of Illinois and Penn State for a half, this is a team that is simply too fast for them. Ole Miss has averaged 480 yards per game and can hit teams with the pass or rush. Kent State ranks 109th in the nation in total defense and the Rebels should have no issue marching up and down the field on them. 

Some trends to note. Rebels are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. Rebels are 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 non-conference games.

Lay the points.

Back Mississippi State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington State vs. USC Over 53

The Cougars and Trojans highlight Pac-12 after dark on Friday night and this Over is certainly worth a play here. 

Looking at the Cougars first, Washington State has had no issues putting up points this year. They have turned in performances of 41, 31, and 59 points thus far. There is a lot that goes into this Cougars' offense as they have really opened up a run game in the recent years. Because of that, their pass-heavy offense now has defenses on their toes more in the secondary. 

QB JT Daniels has started his USC career off in a nice way as well. Daniels has completed 67 of 117 passes thus far for 819 yards. He's getting his feet fully wet, which has resulted in the playbook opening more and more for him over the last few weeks. Look for him to make a huge step here and really take more and more shots down field on Friday.

Some trends to note. Over is 20-7-2 in Trojans last 29 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Over is 5-0 in Cougars last 5 road games.

Expect plenty of scoring opportunities here. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CFB O/U Play

Illinois +28

The Fighting Illini are worth a move here on Friday night.

This is more of a situational play than anything. Penn State comes into this one knowing they should have no worries here. You have to think their main focus is on next week's affair with the Buckeyes in Happy Valley. 

Look for them to come out a bit flat here as they certainly aren't too worried about this Illinois team.

To go along with that, this Illinois team is a big advocate of running the clock. If they can get their offense moving early, this could be a case where they can frustrate Penn State. Illinois has averaged 244 rushing yards per game through the first 3 contests as well. They've been able to pick up big chunks of yardage and continue to move the chains on 3rd down.

Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Fighting Illini are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Grab the big number here.

Back Illinois ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

Temple -7

The Owls laying a touchdown on Thursday night has value here in this spot.

Temple is just a better all-around team. They come in winners of their first game of the season after upsetting Maryland last week. Temple did everything right from controlling the tempo of the game to getting off the field on third down. 

They'll bring that mentality in here on Thursday as they look to approach this Tulsa defense with a balanced attack. QB Anthony Russo is likely to get the nod here after he threw for 228 yards against the Maryland secondary. 

RB Ryquell Armstead opened the pass game as his rushing attack of 118 yards and he's continued to be the biggest part of this offense thus far. Tulsa's defense has shown they have a lot of gaps in it, as they've allowed over 28 points against per game. Look for Temple to utilize the ground early and really open up this Tulsa secondary.

Temple has gone 21-6 in their last 27 conference games. Lay the points here.

Back Temple.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCLA PK 

It's strange to see a Chip Kelly led team be 0-2 in anything really. 

However, this is a nice spot for the Bruins to grab their first win of the season. 

UCLA comes in off a 49-21 loss to the Sooners and they didn't look as bad as most thought. They can take away a lot from the game. 

The Bruins at least found some stability with their pass game, something they lacked in their opener against the Bearcats. Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for 254 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Sooners and he'll have some momentum to build off of here. 

Fresno State is also not a team that is going to overpower anyone. They are a very slow, one-dimensional team, which plays right into the favor of the Bruins. 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Pac-12. Bruins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. MWC.

Look for the Bruins to come out and really be fired up for this one, especially with home field advantage. 

Back UCLA. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Buffalo -3

I see this as a great situational spot for the Bulls. Eastern Michigan is coming off an upset win over Purdue in West Lafayette last week. That has to have made Eastern Michigan feel pretty good about themselves. The Eagles now go to take on a Buffalo team that has the best quarterback in the MAC in Tyree Jackson.

Jackson and the Bulls passing attack are likely to be too much for the Eagles secondary. Eastern Michigan has only a mediocre pass rush, and their corners aren't very good. Jackson can sling it around and he has a lot of weapons on the outside.

Eastern Michigan isn't very explosive on offense. I don't think they have the balance on offense to keep up with Buffalo.

This game is going to be packed, and Buffalo is hyping this game in a big way for their home crowd. Expect a great atmosphere that helps the home team a lot. Buffalo is playing with something to prove, while I see Eastern Michigan as being in a terrible spot after a win over a Big Ten team.

A couple interesting trends. Buffalo is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.  Eastern Michigan is 9-22 ATS in their last 31 following a win.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* Rare CFB ATS Top Play

Houston -1

Two high flying offenses meet on Saturday and Houston has the value here. 

Houston is certainly the more complete team of the two. 

The Cougars offense has been on a quite the tear here in the early going. Houston put up 45 on Rice and absolutely went on a first half rampage Saturday against Arizona. The Coogs put up 45 in total once again as they showed the air attack is just so tough to slow down. 

Houston is averaging 287 yards through the air as D'Eriq King has shown the ability to give defense issues both through the air and with his scrambling abilities. While Texas Tech had little issues with Lamar last week, they struggled mightily with Ole Miss Week 1. The Rebels are very similar to the Cougars style of play, which should result in a lot of struggles for this Tech defense.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Red Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Houston is the better team here.

Back Houston ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

LSU vs. Auburn Under 45

The LSU defense is always going to be good as long as they have Dave Aranda as their defensive coordinator. Aranda is an awesome defensive coordinator who puts his players in a great position to have success. LSU has had a great secondary for many years, and that remains the same this year.  Auburn lost their top two running backs from last year, and there will be a lot of pressure on Stidham and the Auburn passing game to carry the load. That could be a difficult task against this LSU secondary.

Auburn's defensive front is one of the top five in the country. LSU's weakness is their offensive line. I think Auburn will get in the backfield a bunch in this one. I don't know if Burrow can make enough plays to get LSU in scoring position very often.

A couple trends of note. The under is 5-1 in Auburn's last 6 games overall. The under is 6-1 in LSU's last 7 road games. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two at Auburn.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Georgia Tech vs. Pittsburgh Over 54

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets triple option is extremely tough to stop. Pittsburgh clearly hasn't found the answer to slowing down Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have scored 56, 28, 34, and 35 points on Pittsburgh in the last four meetings. The Panthers defensive front is a question mark this year again, and I'd be surprised if they can hold their own against this strong triple option attack.

The Georgia Tech defense has some major problems of their own. South Florida picked up a bunch of big gainers on them last weekend. The Yellow Jackets have a new defensive coordinator, and it seems like it will take some time for them to get accustomed to the new scheme.

Only one of the last four meetings between these two has gone below this total, and that one finished at 52 points. I see the offenses having the upper hand all the way.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Oklahoma -17

The Sooners and Cyclones battle on Saturday afternoon and laying the points with the Sooners is worth a nice move here.

Oklahoma should be 2-0 ATS this season, but a 4th and 6 conversion with their 2nd stringers in resulted in a backdoor UCLA cover. However, Oklahoma still has looked solid through the first two contests and the Cyclones likely can't keep up with this firepower.

We saw the Sooners put up 63 points in their first game and followed that up with a 49 point performance against the Bruins. Oklahoma's Kyler Murray has showcased he can beat teams with his arm and legs, which will give Iowa State quite the tall task. 

ISU managed just 3 points in their season opener against Iowa and this is Oklahoma defense is about 3 or 4 steps above the Hawkeyes.

Some trends to note. Sooners are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings. Sooners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

Oklahoma will run this game from the outset and will be able to pull away. 

Back Oklahoma ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Ball State vs. Indiana Over 58.5

The Ball State Cardinals are finally healthy on offense. This is a team that has been badly banged up in the last couple seasons, and their offensive output suffered in a big way. Ball State is healthy and now they are pushing the tempo (playing among the 15 fastest teams in the nation). Riley Neal is a quality quarterback and I see him having a solid day here.

Indiana played in terrible weather conditions last week, and that skewed their offensive statistics. The Hoosiers are going to play fast and I expect them to have a balanced offense that should be able to move the ball easily against this MAC defense of Ball State.

With no bad weather in the area, and two teams who like to play quickly, I see this being a game that gets past the posted total.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB O/U Play

Memphis -27

Memphis opens as big home favorites on Friday night and rightfully so as they have value at this number. 

Memphis gives us a lot of reason for optimism heading into this one. They showcased just how good their offense is in their opening game and still managed to produce some solid numbers last week in a downpour of rain. 

Memphis has averaged 565 yards per game through the first two contests, as they can beat teams both with the pass game and on the ground. Georgia State hasn't shown any reason thus far of why they can keep up with this firepower, as they rank near the bottom of almost every offensive category. 

Some trends to note. Memphis Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Tigers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Look for Memphis to put the foot on the gas early and not let up here.

Back Memphis ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Boston College -5

This one opened at -7 but has since dropped all the way down to -5. The Eagles have value at this kind of number as they take on Wake Forest Thursday night. 

This game will be moved up to 5:30 pm EST on Thursday because of the approaching hurricane as weather could end up being a concern. 

That won't hurt the Eagles either way as this team has the ability to pound the ball on the ground. AJ Dillon put up 3 touchdowns in less than a quarter last week, as they've outscored their first two opponents 117-35. 

Wake Forest will see their toughest opponent to this point. Given the abilities of this team to wear teams down, this is a spot where we should see Boston College really utilize their physical offensive line and bring continuous blitz packages on the defensive end. 

Some trends to note. Eagles are 5-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Eagles are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

With the move down, the value sits with the visitors.

Back Boston College.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan State -5.5

The Spartans head out west here on Saturday night and have value laying this small number.

We're seeing some overreacting to Week 1 for sure. While Michigan State did struggle, those are always the types of games where teams can overlook and get trapped. 

This Michigan State team is one of the most talented in the country and they'll have their chance to showcase that here against a Sun Devils team that will have a lot of to handle on both sides of the ball. 

While ASU rolled against UTSA in Week 1, this is a much more physical and quicker team they'll see. Michigan State has the ability to just wear teams down and will certainly do that here. Expect Michigan State to run right at them early on, which should open some holes on the defensive line and really give the pass game some room to work. 

Some trends to note. Spartans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.

Michigan State will come out sending a message here. Lay this small number.

Back Michigan State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Penn State vs. Pittsburgh Over 55.5

Penn State nearly survived an upset for the ages and will now look to rebound here when they take on Pittsburgh Saturday. 

This is a game that will certainly be another test for the Nittany Lions, as we should see both teams put together some fireworks. 

Looking at Penn State first, offensively they showcased a lot in their opener. Dropping 45 points against App State, this team can strike quickly. Whether it be on the run, or with the deep ball, Penn State has plenty of firepower to help this total. 

Meanwhile, the Panthers are no slouch either. QB Kenny Pickett has proven he can not only compete with some of the top defenses last season, but he also can beat teams with both his feet and arm. After seeing what Appalachian State did last week, Pickett and this offense should find plenty of success. 

Some trends to note. Over is 9-3-2 in Panthers last 14 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. Over is 20-6 in Nittany Lions last 26 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

Expect fireworks both ways here.

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

UMass vs. Georgia Southern Over 61

The UMass Minutemen have a great quarterback in Andrew Ford. Ford had a spectacular 22/4 touchdown to interception ratio last year. He played poorly in last week's loss to Boston College, but he isn't going to face many secondaries as good as that BC group. UMass is going to score a lot of points this year in their uptempo offense.

Georgia Southern has decided to go back to their bread and butter this year and run the triple option, and I fully expect them to take advantage of weak defensive lines. What is UMass' biggest weakness? It is their defensive front. UMass is going to be dominated in the trenches here. Look for a lot of big runs from GA Southern.

This number has been pushed down a bit, which gives us even more value. UMass may have struggled on offense last week, but GA Southern's secondary is going to give up big plays here.

Back and forth in a close game with OT certainly being possible.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB O/U Play

Michigan -27.5

Michigan laying the big spread on Saturday has value for us.

Western Michigan showed they don't have much in their Week 1 affair. While they did come close in the 3rd quarter, there are a lot of misleading facts to that box score. Syracuse pulled some starters early after storming out to big halftiime lead. 

The Broncos showed almost nothing against the first stringers of the Orange and thats going to cause some issues here against a team like Michigan. Especially, thinking about how mad this Wolverines team is going to be coming in after dropping Week 1 to Notre Dame.

Michigan showed plenty of bright spots still in their loss as this offense certainly is going to have plenty of success. They are a deep team and can put together some quick attacks. They should be able to overpower and just simply outrun this Western Michigan team on both sides of the ball.

Some trends to note. Broncos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Broncos are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.

Lay the number here.

Back Michigan ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Duke vs. Northwestern Under 47.5

The Duke Blue Devils embarrassed Northwestern last year. Northwestern should be ready to go this time. The normally very good Wildcat defense was pathetic last year against Duke. Don't expect that to happen again.

Northwestern's defensive front is excellent, and the biggest weakness on this Duke offense is their offensive line. Look for the Wildcats to get in the backfield often and sack Duke and stop them for losses on running plays consistently.

The Duke defense has some tremendous linebackers. Duke's defense is much better than the majority of people realize, and NW isn't all that strong in the running game. Clayton Thorson isn't 100 percent yet, and he might not even play the whole game.

Both defenses have advantages over the offenses to start with, and the forecast calls for 20 mph gusts during this one.

The under is a whopping 37-13-1 in Northwestern's last 51 home games. The under is 9-3 in Duke's last 12 games.

Back the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

TCU vs. SMU Over 58.5 

TCU and SMU headline the only Friday night CFB contest and the Over here has value to work with. 

For starters,  SMU found themselves in a high scoring affair in Week 1 against North Texas. The Mean Green had their way this SMU defense, posting 46 points and doing just anything they wanted. 

That certainly won't bode well here for them, as TCU is far more explosive and should be able to put together some big plays deep downfield. SMU should also see a much better output here. They did tally 23 points, but this offense is far better than their showing. With the return home here, expect them to really open the playbook more here on Friday.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Over is 9-3 in Horned Frogs last 12 non-conference games.

Look for both teams to take their chances downfield, helping this one go Over the total. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB O/U Play

Florida State vs. Virginia Tech Under 

The Seminoles and Hokies clash to cap off Week 1 of the College Football slate and the Under here has value. Virginia Tech has been a huge Under team in the past.

The Hokies went under in 5 of their last 6 games in 2017 thanks in large part to this defense. Defensive coordinator Bud Foster has been able to draw up plenty of schemes to frustrate opposing offenses and get his team off the field on 3rd downs. In fact, over the last 10 seasons, the Under has gone 56-28 in conference games for the Hokies.

Florida State meanwhile has yet to name a starting QB while I write this... (I'm assuming it will be Deondre Francois) and they continue to work in a new head coach. There’s a lot of variables here that should see FSU really struggle to find rhythm here in their opening games. The skeptics are out in Florida, but a win could make that all go away.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-1 in Hokies last 6 games overall and 4-1 in Hokies last 5 road games. Under is 20-7-1 in Seminoles last 28 conference games.

Getting an ACC Conference season opening win, could bring a ton of momentum to each team's program to start the year. Expect a grind it out type of game here.

Back the Under. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 9* CFB O/U Play

Miami vs. LSU Over 

The Hurricanes and Tigers battle in a marquee matchup here on Sunday night and the Over has tremendous value. With both teams in the Top 25 and a shot at a BCS Playoff spot this season, we should expect to see a lot of fireworks in this one.

From Miami’s side of things, they like to move fast and take plenty of chances down field. Malik Rosier will return as starting QB for the Hurricanes, as he brings in a lot of firepower with this offense. His ability to run and throw has the makings for Miami to put up big numbers.

LSU meanwhile is a team that just wears you down. Look for them to establish and early ground game here and open things up offensively.

Expect plenty of scoring chances here, making this Over worthy of a nice move.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* CFB O/U Play

Notre Dame PK -110

The Fighting Irish and Wolverines headline the Week 1 slate with National Championship implications already on the line. 

The pressure is on for Jim Harbaugh, which certainly plays into the hands of the Fighting Irish in this one. After years of struggles in the Big 10 and beating top-tier opponents, the Wolverines head coach is certainly under fire right now. A loss here will start the rumblings just 1 week into the season.

Notre Dame will have the significant edge on the defensive end here. The Fighting Irish return plenty of starters and the secondary will be a tough task to figure out for opponents. With that in mind, we see a Michigan offense that struggled last season and didn't do much to improve themselves. 

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.

The edge goes here to Notre Dame. With the Wolverines battling some injuries as well, home field in primetime is worth move.

Back Notre Dame. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Cincinnati +14.5

The Cincinnati Bearcats aren't a great team, but they are too good for UCLA to be laying more than two touchdowns against. UCLA has all kinds of question marks entering the season. Chip Kelly is a great head coach, and yes he'll make this team excellent in time, but that isn't likely to happen overnight.

UCLA has a very weak offensive line, and Cincinnati is much better on the defensive line this year. UCLA isn't likely to be able to get the running game going like Kelly wants. Wilton Speight is the starter at quarterback for UCLA, and he isn't mobile enough for Kelly to run the types of play he usually has in the past.

The hype of Chip Kelly coming to UCLA has caused this line to be inflated. UCLA will likely win this game, but it will be in a battle. UCLA doesn't have an identity yet, and Cincinnati comes in here with nothing to lose.

Grab the points.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

West Virginia -10

The Mountaineers and Volunteers clash in Week 1 and here the value sits with the visitors. 

West Virginia is going to be a force this season. They return two key pieces to the offensive end that offers one of the best QB-WR tandems in the NCAA. 

All-American QB Will Grier and WR David Sills come back expected to put up tremendous numbers. Prior to Grier going down, he threw for nearly 3500 yards and added 34 touchdowns to his name. Sills was his main target last season as he racked up 18 of those touchdowns with 60 receptions. 

Tennessee meanwhile still has a long way to go. The Volunteers dropped every game in SEC play and struggled with some lower tier opponents. They simply do not have enough firepower yet to compete with teams like these and that will be showcased here on Saturday.

Some trends to note. Volunteers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in September.

Lay the points here.

Back West Virginia ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

UMass vs. Boston College Over 63

The UMass Minutemen have a great quarterback in Ford. He threw 22 TD's and only 4 INT's last year. Ford will work against a Boston College defense that isn't nearly as strong as they were a few years ago. They've lost a lot of top talent to the NFL.

Boston College has an elite running game. Expect AJ Dillon to be one of the best running backs in the country this year. UMass' defense is very weak against the run, and Boston College should rack up a bunch of explosive plays on the ground here.

Both teams have been looking to speed up their tempo on offense. UMass will throw it often and play hurry up. Boston College will look to keep running the ball and wear down the UMass defense. Look for both teams to be able to put quite a few on scoreboard on Saturday.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Duke -14

The Duke Blue Devils are a veteran team that I expect to have a very solid season. The strength of this Duke team is their linebackers, who may well be a top 10 group of linebackers in the country. What do you need when you go up against a triple option attack? You need some good linebackers.

Army defeated Duke last year on a punt block touchdown in a game Duke should have won. Army now has a new quarterback and a much weaker offense than a year ago. Duke's defense has been good against triple option teams, and they have seen a lot of them in recent years. Army should find it tough to get much at all going on offense.

The Duke offense should get better quarterback play this year, and I think Duke's offense has enough team speed to break some big gainers against a mediocre Army defense.

Some trends to consider. Blue Devils are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Revenge for Duke in a big way.

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CFB ATS Play

Syracuse -6

The Orange open their season in Western Michigan and are worth a nice move here. 

The public has been pounding Western Michigan with the points, but overlooking Syracuse here may not be the best move. 

The Orange passing attack is the difference maker here. Syracuse had a very threatening air attack last season and will welcome back QB Eric Dungey here in 2018. Dungey is in store for another huge year and has some key pieces returning which will certainly help this air raid. 

Meanwhile, the Broncos have proven they have taken a few steps back offensively after last year's 6-6 record. Western Michigan is more of a ground attack team, which isn't a good matchup feature here. Should they go down early, the Broncos may be forced out of their comfort zone and have to rely on the pass game.

Some trends to note. Orange are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Orange are 15-3-1 ATS in their last 19 vs. MAC.

Syracuse has dominated the MAC. That, along with the edge offensively is worthy of a move here.

Back Syracuse ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

Purdue -2.5 

The Boilermakers laying under a field goal here in the season opener has a lot of value to work with. 

Purdue was quite the surprise last year, as they knocked off Arizona in their bowl game. 

The Boilermakers will split time with both QBs here in the season opener, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Purdue has a pair of QBs who have both showed some flashes of brilliance throughout their career and it will offer different looks at this Wildcats defense. 

Meanwhile, the Wildcats are in rebuild mode. RB Justin Jackson will be a tough one to replace, while QB Clayton Thorson remains questionable. Regardless whether or not he plays, he certainly won't be at 100%. 

Some trends to note. Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Lay the small number here.

Back Purdue ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play

UCF vs. UConn Over 71

The UFC Golden Knights are expected to play even faster under Josh Heupel than they did under Scott Frost. UCF put up 49 points in a big win over UConn last year. UConn's defense is going to be one of the very worst in the country this year, and I would expect UCF to move the ball through the air at will here.

UConn put up more than 400 yards of offense against UCF last year, and UConn does return a lot of talent on offense. The UCF defense will slip from last season. UConn should do their fair share of scoring here as well. The Huskies have been playing at a quicker pace in practice in the offseason as well.

Both teams are going to be pass heavy teams, and both defenses have a lot of question marks. The pace of play will be there as well. Fireworks in the opener.

Back the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB O/U Play

Wyoming vs. New Mexico State Under 45

Two teams who will look to get some fresh faces on both sides of the ball comfortable meet in the season opener between Wyoming and New Mexico State. 

Both teams will feature new QBs under center, which should really give some value to this Under. 

Matt Romero, a Junior College transfer, will get the nod here for his first start in a NMSU uniform. While Romero was part of an offense that threw the ball a lot, he enters a team that is likely going to be conservative in the early going with him. Expect a lot of run plays designed to help get his feet wet. 

On the flip side of things, Wyoming will go with a red shirt freshman in Tyler Vander Waal. He'll have the nerves to fill the big shoes of Josh Allen, as well as a Senior who is right behind him on the depth chart. Like their counterparts, the conservative style will come into play here as both teams will want to establish a run game early.

Some trends to note. Under is 8-0-1 in Aggies last 9 home games. Under is 6-1 in Aggies last 7 games on turf. Under is 7-1 in Cowboys last 8 games on turf. Under is 6-1 in Cowboys last 7 games overall.

Given both offenses, this is going to be a lower scoring affair with a lot of clock chewing.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Alabama -3.5 

The Crimson Tide proved quite the point last week. Alabama was questioned if they deserved a spot in the BCS Playoff compared to the Buckeyes. 

However, they removed all doubt with an absolute dominate performance over Clemson and now will face rival Georgia here in the Championship Game.

While Georgia has played very well this year, they just aren't on the same level as Alabama. The Crimson Tide allow just 11 points per game and it stems from plenty of things. They simply dominate on the offensive end, wearing teams down and controlling the clock and tempo of the game. That in turn, allows the defense to not only get their rest, but gives them the momentum whenever taking the field. 

Look for Alabama to control things from the outset here, frustrating this Georgia team in various ways.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.

Lay the points here. Nick Saban has dominated his former coaches and this is a clear mismatch spot. 

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY 

Alabama vs. Clemson Under 47.5 

The Alabama Crimson Tide and Clemson Tigers meet on Monday night for the third year in a row with a ton on the line. This time around it isn't for the title, but it is to get to the title game.

Nick Saban is the best coach in the business, but Dabo Swinney is nipping at his heels. The way Swinney has had his team prepared in bowl games in his career is tremendous. Both teams are going to be ready to play here.

Clemson ranks second in the country in yards per play allowed at 4.29 per play. Who is first? Alabama's defense, and they are allowing only 4.04 yards per play. These teams have been great against even the best offenses they have faced this year.

Both offenses are solid, but there are some holes. Neither team is built to throw it around. Rather, they'll run the ball and take time off the clock.

Expect great defense in this one.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CFB O/U Play

Oklahoma +2.5 

The Sooners catch points here on Monday and are worthy of a play. 

Baker Mayfield has been quite the story this year. While he has done some questionable things to get him into some trouble, he's also been an absolute beast on the field.

Mayfield has thrown for 4340 yards and 41 touchdowns this year. What has been most impressive about him has been his ability to take care of the ball. He hasn't forced much at all, throwing just 5 interceptions along the way. 

He and the Sooners matchup well here against Georgia. Oklahoma averages 45 points per game, which Georgia simply cannot keep up with here. 

Some trends to note. Sooners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. SEC. Sooners are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Oklahoma has fared well against the SEC. Along with that, they just have way too much firepower here on the offensive end. 

Back Oklahoma. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CFB ATS Play

Michigan -7.5

The Wolverines are in a nice spot here on New Years Day to lay this number. 

They simply have too many advantages in this one. 

Defensively, they are giving up just 18.2 points per game. That certainly doesn't bode well for this South Carolina offense that is struggling to get points as it is. Look for Michigan to really stack the box and put a lot of pressure in the backfield, forcing South Carolina into some tough situations. 

Along with that, the Wolverines have dominated the SEC in their past. Michigan comes into Monday with a 25-8-1 record which includes back to back victories against the conference. 

Some trends to note. Gamecocks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Gamecocks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games.

Look for Michigan to really put a ton of pressure on defensively here. They should be able to force some quick possessions and turnovers. 

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington +2

The Huskies catch points here and are the better team against Penn State on Saturday.

This is the perfect matchup for Washington. The Nittany Lions come in with very little motivation after what looked like they were poised for a BCS Playoff run. After blowing a huge lead to Ohio State, the Nittany Lions failed to even make the Big Ten Championship, another huge blow to their season .

Washington meanwhile has one of the top coaches when it comes to bowl games. Chris Petersen has done just about everything in his tenure as he's coached in plenty of postseason bowls and has pulled off many wins in a variety of ways. 

This is also Jake Browning's chance to bounce back from a year that him take a small step back after 2016. Browning is one of the best QBs in Washington history and will certainly look to give this team a huge game after struggling some at times during the regular season. 

Some trends to note. Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Huskies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in December.

Look for a very inspired game all around here from the Huskies.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington vs. Penn State Under 55

The Washington Huskies and Penn State Nittany Lions have both been excellent on defense this year. Washington ranks second in the country in yards per play allowed. Penn State ranks 11th in the country in yards per play allowed despite playing some very good offenses this season.

Washington is slowing the pace down a lot this year. The Huskies rank in the bottom 25 teams in the country in pace of play. They are running the football a lot and using up the play clock. They should continue that game plan here.

Penn State's offensive line has had difficulty in key situations this year. The Nittany Lions have great skill position players on offense, but the offensive line sometimes holds them back.

Both of these teams are really well coached, and the defensive coordinators in this one are excellent. I expect two good game plans by the defenses and a close low scoring game.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Mississippi State +7

The Bulldogs are at a key number here on Saturday afternoon against Louisville. 

Mississippi State will come in with a small chip on their shoulder after their coach decided to jump ship a few weeks ago. That's no problem for this team, as if anything that will really fire them up and give them more incentive after a very solid 8-4 season. 

Louisville had high hopes entering the season and really it was their defense that let them down this year. Away from home they're giving up over 31 points per game. They really had their issues slowing teams down, especially ones built similar to Mississippi State. 

The Bulldogs will lean on Aeris Williams, who became the schools first 1000 yard rusher since 2014. Mississippi State is built extremely well on the line and should get a nice push up front against this defensive line from Louisville that has struggled all year. 

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. Cardinals are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games.

This is too many points to give to Mississippi State here.

Back Mississippi State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

USC vs. Ohio State Over 64.5

The Trojans and Buckeyes meet in what should be one of the most entertaining games of the Bowl Season. 

Both teams offer dominant offenses, as JT Barrett and Sam Darnold figure to put on quite a show. 

Ohio State is averaging 42.5 points per game and come into this one with a lot to prove. They were left out of the BCS Playoff after winning a Big Ten Championship and look to show the committee what they are missing out on. The Buckeyes offense has continued to play extremely fast and that certainly adds value to this Over. 

USC plays just as fast and is just as threatening. The Trojans 34.5 points per game comes from their star QB in Sam Darnold, who is going to put on a show for a lot of NFL scouts. He's got a lot to play for himself, especially given the chance to be a top pick in the draft. 

Some trends to note. Over is 8-1 in Buckeyes last 9 games following a straight up win. Over is 7-3-1 in Trojans last 11 bowl games.

Expect a ton of action in this one.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB O/U Play

Kentucky +8

Kentucky is poised to really give Northwestern a game here on Friday. 

Kentucky can consider this year a success, given their 7 wins and the play of Benny Snell Jr. Snell Jr. rumbled for 18 touchdowns this season and 12 over the past 5 games to close the season out. Expect a heavy dosage of him in this one, which should really help Kentucky control the tempo and sustain a lot of drives. 

Northwestern is by no means overpowering either. They are very one dimensional and don't strike for the big play. That bodes well in this matchup as Kentucky should be able to put continuous pressure on and force the Wildcats into some tough third down situations.

This is just too many points in this spot. 

Kentucky isn't far off from Northwestern and with the similar styles of play, they should be able to keep this close throughout.

Back Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CFB ATS Play

NC State -7 

The NC State Wolfpack have played a tougher schedule than Arizona State. NC State plays in an ACC that I feel was underrated this year. The Wolfpack weren't dominated by anyone other than Notre Dame. They took Clemson to the wire.

Arizona State is in a VERY strange position here. They fired Todd Graham, but they have allowed him to stay on board to coach the bowl game. This almost never happens. Does it help or hurt? I think it is a negative. These players don't have any reason to fight for Graham here, because he is gone regardless of the result of this game.

NC State has been the victim of bad luck in multiple games this year. I think they are better than their record would indicate. Arizona State was fortunate in a couple of their key wins.

They have had a lot of turmoil in recent weeks, and I'll go against them here.

Take NC State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CFB ATS Play

Washington State +2

The Cougars offense is going to be a lot for this Michigan State defense Thursday night. 

Washington State caused a lot of havoc in the Pac-12 this season, en route to a 9-3 season. Averaging over 31 points per game, the Cougars dangerous pass game really poses a huge threat. 

Luke Falk remains one of the best QBs not just in the conference, but in the entire NCAA, as he threw for 3593 yards to go along with 30 touchdowns. Falk has been known to pick apart opposing secondaries as this offense ranks 2nd in the NCAA with 374.8 passing yards per contest.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Cougars are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss.

Michigan State averages just 23 points per contest. That isn't a good number here given what this Cougars team can do in terms of scoring quickly.

Back Washington State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Oklahoma State -6 

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have a ton of talent on their team. This is a passing attack that can't easily be prepared for. Virginia Tech doesn't have anyone who can simulate this kind of attack in their practices.

Virginia Tech has been extremely conservative in their play calling this year. Virginia Tech has run the football nearly 60% of the time despite being one of the 30 worst teams in the country in yards per carry. They won't be able to get away with that in this one. Virginia Tech is without a leading receiver here as well, which will limit their passing game some.

The Cowboys are extremely well-coached by Mike Gundy, and I expect these veterans to want to come out and finish on a high note for Oklahoma State. Look for their high octane offense to be too much for Virginia Tech's questionable offensive attack.

Back Oklahoma State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play

Navy +1

The Midshipmen matchup nicely here with Virginia on Thursday. 

Navy comes into this one obviously holding one of the best rushing attacks in the NCAA and they should be able to really give the Cavaliers fits here. 

Navy catches a defense that is allowing 30 points per game away from home and they've allowed 179.1 rush yards per game which ranks in the bottom tier of the NCAA. 

Offensively, Virginia likely can't keep up either. They rank 100th in the NCAA in total offense and 101st with just 23 points per game. Things have been a huge struggle for them coming into this one, losing 3 in a row as well. The confidence level just isn't there for them and limping into this kind of matchup against a dominant run team does not help.

Some trends to note. Midshipmen are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Bowl games. Midshipmen are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game.

This spot screams Navy.

Back Navy.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
