02-22-18 | Gonzaga v. San Diego +12 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
San Diego +12 It is sometimes tough to go against the Bulldogs, but they have not been the force they have been in recent years. San Diego comes into this one a solid 17-11 on the season and this defense could give Gonzaga some issues. They're allowing just 65 points per game on the year and just 62.6 in home situations. That bodes well going up against this Gonzaga team as San Diego rarely allows any kind of easy looks. They'll certainly have their hands full, but their high pressured defense is going to cause a lot ofhavoc and potentially force some turnovers to a Bulldogs team that struggles with ball security at times. Gonzaga has also not been having those easy wins they've had in the past. This team is just 11-14-1 ATS on the year. They have shown they are a streaky team on both sides of the ball, really going cold at times, allowing teams to stay in games. Expect San Diego to really try and utilize their high pressured mentality here on the defensive end. Expect this one to be closer than a lot of people think. Back San Diego. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-22-18 | 76ers v. Bulls +7 | 116-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Chicago Bulls +6.5 The Chicago Bulls grabbing this many points is valuable in this spot on Thursday night. Chicago has actually been a sneaky competitive team, one that gets overlooked at times. The Bulls are 30-26-1 ATS on the season and they have been able to keep up with almost every team this season in their various matchups. It has stemmed from a few areas, but their ability to slow the game down and force teams into their pace has been the biggest key. Chicago is built with a roster of young guys, who really have gelled together this year. Offensively, they're putting up 103.3 points per game, which shows they have some scorers on their team that can attack the rim and make plays. Against a 76ers team here that struggles defensively, the Bulls should be able to get some open looks and keep pace. This is just too many points. The Bulls are a competitive team and with home court, look for them to have a chance to steal this outright. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-21-18 | St. John's +5 v. Marquette | 73-85 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
St. John's +5 The Marquette Golden Eagles list Markus Howard as doubtful for this game. Howard is the team's leading scorer at 21.3 points per game. Howard is a significant loss, and while Marquette was able to win over Creighton last game, I think in the long run this injury hurts a great deal. St. John's is playing with extreme confidence right now. This team dealt with a bunch of injury issues earlier in the year, and they aren't even close to as bad as their record would indicate. They have proven that in wins against Duke and Villanova of late. St. John's is a scrappy team with a leader in point guard Shamorie Ponds who is red hot of late. Ponds should have no problem probing and chewing up this Marquette defense, which ranks worst in the league. Marquette is laying too many without their leader here. I'll grab the points with the hot team. Back St. John's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-21-18 | Michigan v. Penn State UNDER 135 | 72-63 | Push | 0 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Michigan vs. Penn State under 135 The Penn State Nittany Lions need this game in a big way. Penn State is playing like a team that deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament, but the Nittany Lions don't have a particularly strong body of work. They need to build it up here with a win against a good Michigan team. Penn State has gotten much better on the defensive end with Josh Reaves back in the lineup. Penn State's defense stymied Ohio State last week. They'll look to do the same against Michigan here. Michigan slows the pace of the game down. They aren't going to let anyone turn a game into a track meet. Michigan will make this a halfcourt game. The Wolverines defense was a weakness last year, but they are much better this season. In a game that means a lot to both teams, this total is inflated. Look for the defenses to be strong. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

02-20-18 | New Mexico v. Wyoming OVER 156.5 | 119-114 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
New Mexico vs. Wyoming over 156.5 The New Mexico Lobos and Wyoming Cowboys both love to push the tempo. New Mexico has implemented a new system of full court pressure and aggressive trapping. That can lead to easy scores for them, the other team, and it can lead to a lot of free throws for the opposition. Wyoming has ranked in the top 15 in the country in tempo the last couple years, and they aren't about to slow the game down here. Justin James is a star in the backcourt and I think he can have a big game against this pressure of New Mexico. The first game was lower scoring than expected, and that has given us value on the over. Both offenses should be better here. Both teams have been on a better run of late offensively. This one should have a lot of fireworks and be interesting all the way. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB O/U Play |

02-20-18 | Kent State +4 v. Ohio | 76-88 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 48 m | Show | |
Kent State +4 The Golden Flashes come in with a lot of momentum after Saturday and grabbing points is a nice situational spot here. Kent State and Akron have built such a rivalry that a win in that series is certainly going to boost a lot of morals and gain a lot of confidence for one side. The Golden Flashes are the team that came away with the boost as they dropped Akron by 10 on Saturday and are coming in on quite a high here. They have already taken down Ohio once this season and the Bobcats just aren't the same team as they have typically been in the past. They sit 4 games under .500 and are actually getting outscored on average per game this season. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Golden Flashes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Grabbing points with the better side is a nice move here. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-20-18 | Creighton +5 v. Butler | 70-93 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 43 m | Show | |
Creighton +5 Grabbing points with Creighton is a very nice move on Tuesday. The Blue Jays are the better team in this spot overall. Offensively, they are just so tough to handle. They come at you with so much speed and talent and their 85.1 points per game remain one of the best marks in the conference. Along with that, they put on a solid performance already once this season against Butler. Back on 1/9, they shot 54.1% from the field in a game where they hit right at their average as they were just too overwhelming. They can just wear opposing defenses down and that plays a huge factor late in games. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Bulldogs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games. This is a nice spot to grab the points. Back Creighton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-18-18 | Penn State v. Purdue -8.5 | 73-76 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Purdue -8.5 The Boilermakers are a nice play here on Sunday night as this is a prime bounce back spot. Purdue has dropped a rare 3 in a row and you're going to see some frustrations come out here against the Nittany Lions Sunday night. Purdue dropped their first home game in over two years a week back, but they still have been completely dominate overall when playing inside Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers are a solid 14-1 in home situations this season and are putting up 86 points per game. Head to head wise, Purdue has dominated this series. The Boilermakers have won 5 straight meetings and 10 straight inside Mackey Arena against the Nittany Lions. Look for the Boilermakers to come out with a lot of fire. They are far better than how they have played lately and will certainly show that here. Back Purdue. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-18-18 | Stanford -5 v. California | 77-73 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Stanford -5 The Cal Golden Bears stunned the Stanford Cardinal at Stanford early this year. Cal was up and down early this season. The Bears had some nice wins, but they had some really ugly losses as well. Lately, they have been only down. Stanford has shown a lot more fight as the season has gone along. I consider Stanford's Jerod Haase a very solid coach. He learned under Roy Williams, and he is likely to do a good job in the long run with this Stanford team. Wyking Jones is struggling to keep this Cal team playing hard in recent weeks. This is a great revenge spot for Stanford after being stunned on their home floor by their rivals in the first meeting of the season. The Cardinal are better in all aspects of the game, and revenge will be on their minds. I expect them to win convincingly. Back Stanford. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-18 | Oregon State v. USC -8 | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
USC -8 The Trojans are a nice move here on Saturday night as they host the Beavers, who have been horrific on the road. Oregon State has lost 20 straight true consecutive road games and 15 straight in Pac-12 play. They've done little to impress in such situations this year, going 0-7, while getting outscored 73-67 on average. They take on a USC team that has just to overpowering of an offense. The Trojans are putting up 80 points per home game, as this team just has too much depth to handle. Some trends to note. Beavers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. Pacific-12. Beavers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games. The Beavers are a mess and will have issues all night long with this USC pressure. Back USC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-18 | St. Mary's -15.5 v. Portland | Top | 73-61 | Loss | -101 | 19 h 3 m | Show |
St. Mary's -15.5 This is a frustration spot here for the Gaels, who are going to come out with some absolute fire on Saturday night. St. Mary's comes in losers of 2 straight, something that just isn't normal for this program. Along with that, they come in off a loss that wasn't expected against San Francisco, one that likely is going to put them out of contention for the WCC #1 seed. St. Mary's is a clear cut 2nd in this conference and they're going to certainly make a point to show that as they will now focus on grabbing the 2nd spot and at least making a strong a case for an at large should they not win this tournament. The Gaels are going to run and cause a lot of issues for Portland, a team that just simply cannot keep up here. Some trends to note. Gaels are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Gaels are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Look for St. Mary's to really come out firing here, pulling away early and not slowing down. Back St. Mary's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 10* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-18 | North Carolina +1.5 v. Louisville | 93-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
North Carolina +1.5 Grabbing UNC in this spot is worth a move on Saturday night. North Carolina is in the midst of a weird season. They have dropped 7 games this year, but they still remain one of the better teams in the nation all around. They come in with some steam as well which is huge here. North Carolina has won 4 straight games and they're still boasting one of the best offenses in the entire NCAA. UNC is putting up 83.3 points per game, one of the best marks in the conference and in the entire nation. They take on a Louisville team that just isn't as powerful. They don't play with nearly enough pace or aggression to keep up with the Tar Heels in this spot. Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Grab the road underdogs here. Back UNC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-16-18 | Oakland v. Cleveland State +4 | 82-66 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland State +4 The Oakland Golden Grizzlies have been a major disappointment this year. They were one of the two favorites to win the Horizon League this year. Oakland has fallen apart in recent weeks. This is a team with really poor team chemistry, and I think they are ready for the regular season to be over. They are looking forward to the conference tourney if anything. Cleveland State played Oakland fairly tough for much of the game on the road. Cleveland State has picked up a couple nice wins of late, and this is a young team that has really played better basketball down the stretch. Oakland is without Martez Walker who is injured, and he was a major key to their team. Cleveland State is healthier and playing with revenge from earlier this year. With Oakland going through the motions, this is too much of a value to pass up. Back Cleveland State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-15-18 | Oregon +5 v. USC | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Oregon +5 The Ducks are catching too many points in this spot on Thursday night. Oregon and USC play very similar styles, which should in turn keep this game close throughout. The Ducks and Trojans are both averaging just under 80 points per game, as they like to push the tempo and really get out quick in transition. Where Oregon gains the edge here as they come in with some solid momentum. They have won 5 of their last 6 to really get themselves back in NCAA Tournament talk and they catch USC at the right time. The Trojans have dropped 3 straight games overall and limp into this one. Some trends to note. Ducks are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Southern California. Ducks are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. This number is just too high. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-15-18 | Ohio State +1 v. Penn State | 56-79 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 9 m | Show | |
Ohio State +1 It's a revenge spot for Ohio State here. The Buckeyes were knocked off by the Nittany Lions with a bank shot at the buzzer in Columbus earlier this season. Ohio State did not allow that to break their stride either, as they continue to just dominate in the Big 10. The Buckeyes have won 4 in a row and they have had no issues whether it be home or away. They hold one of the best defenses in the conference as they are constantly on the ball pressuring and rarely allow anything easy. Look for them to turn that up a couple notches here on Thursday with some anger on their minds from the last meeting. Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Penn St. Buckeyes are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. All signs point to Ohio State here. Back Ohio State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-15-18 | Marshall v. Rice OVER 156.5 | 93-80 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
Marshall at Rice Over 156.5 The Marshall Thundering Herd have had several lower scoring games of late, but they are still a high octane offense that plays at an extremely fast pace. Marshall is up against a Rice defense that is awful. Marshall is very capable of putting up a big number here. Don't let the recent slightly lower scores fool you. Rice tends to play quickly as well. They aren't nearly as good on offense, but Marshall's defense is nothing special. Rice should be able to score enough here, especially since they are likely to be behind and needing to keep pushing the pace to stay within striking distance. Marshall totals have tended to be in the 160's or 170's and this one is in the mid 160's. We have value on the number here that is hard to overlook. Expect a high scoring game with an up and down very fast pace. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-14-18 | Missouri State +3.5 v. Southern Illinois | 80-81 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
Missouri State +3.5 The Missouri State Bears were beaten at home by Southern Illinois a few weeks ago. Southern Illinois isn't a particularly strong shooting team, but they shot lights out in that game. Missouri State rallied late and nearly came back to win. Now, I see them getting revenge on the road against the Salukis. Missouri State was the preseason favorite in the Missouri Valley Conference. They haven't played up to that level, but this is a team with huge potential and they have played really well in their last two games. I see them building confidence from these wins and finishing the season out strong. Southern Illinois doesn't have as big of a home court advantage as most teams in the MVC. The Salukis are laying points against a team that has a lot more talent than them. In a conference where a lot of games go down to the wire, I'll grab the points with the better team. Back Missouri State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-14-18 | Heat v. 76ers -7.5 | 102-104 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -7.5 The 76ers are worth a nice move here on Wednesday night, at home. They catch this Miami team in a back to back, which is extremely valuable for starters. Miami went into Toronto last night, forcing them to jump on a plane immediately and head back down to Phili. The travel will certainly hurt this team, especially late in the game where fatigue will play a huge factor. This 76ers team is also really has also been extremely dominant at home. They have gone 17-9 SU and more impressively 18-8 ATS in such cases. Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. 76ers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. This is quite the run the 76ers are on. This young team is gelling right now and they have showed no signs of slowing down. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-14-18 | Kansas State +4 v. Oklahoma State | 82-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
Kansas State +4 The Wildcats catching points here is a nice move for us on Wednesday night. Kansas State has a real chance here to make some moves in the Big 12 standings over the next few weeks and winning games like this are something they simply have to do. They matchup extremely well with almost every team in the conference, but specifically here they hold a nice edge. The Wildcats should be able to really cause the Cowboys some frustrations. Kansas State ranks 2nd in the Big 12 in scoring defense, giving up just 67.5 points per game. Oklahoma State is far from an offensive threat in the conference, which should lead to Kansas State turning up a lot of pressure and forcing the Cowboys into some tough shots and turnovers. Some trends to note. Cowboys are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. Cowboys are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win. This is a spot where Kansas State can really pick one off. The Cowboys are a struggle at home ATS and just haven't built off wins this year. Back Kansas State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-13-18 | Heat v. Raptors -7.5 | 112-115 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Toronto -7.5 The Raptors have value here in this matchup with Miami. Toronto is playing with extreme confidence right now and they have showed no signs of slowing down. The Raptors are averaging 111 points per game this season and when playing at home they have seen that number even jump up a point on the average. They have lost just 4 times in Canada as they typically come right out of the gates firing. Miami meanwhile just doesn't have enough firepower. They are averaging only 100 points per game and the style they play just won't matchup here with Toronto. Some trends to note. Raptors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Raptors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Toronto's pace is going to really put the Heat on their heels here in this one. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-13-18 | Kansas v. Iowa State +6.5 | 83-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Iowa State +6.5 The Cyclones are a tough team to figure out at home, as they should give Kansas some issues here on Tuesday. Iowa State comes in with some confidence here against Kansas overall. Back on 1/9 they went into Kansas and gave them all they could handle in what eventually was just a 5 point loss. Now, the tables turn to ISU, where the Cyclones play extremely well. Iowa State is allowing just 68.5 points per game in home contests, as they put a ton of pressure on shooters. Nothing will come easy here for Kansas, as the Cyclones should be able to force them into some turnovers that lead to transition buckets. Some trends to note. Jayhawks are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big 12. Jayhawks are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 Tuesday games. Grab the home side here as this one should be close throughout. Back Iowa State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-13-18 | Maryland v. Nebraska -1.5 | 66-70 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Nebraska -1.5 The Nebraska Cornhuskers continue to be doubted, and it makes very little sense. Nebraska has turned into a terrific defensive team under the leadership of Tim Miles this year. Miles is one of the most underrated coaches in the country. His team's consistently do two things: peak at the right time of the year, and outperform expectations by a large margin. Maryland's defense ranks 13th out of 14 teams in the Big Ten in conference play. That isn't going to get it done very often. The Terps have a bunch of youngsters, and I'm not convinced they can go to Lincoln and win in a tough environment. Nebraska takes care of the basketball and plays good defense, and their home court advantage alone is worth at least three points here. Getting the more consistent team as a one point favorite at home in a must win spot for their NCAA Tournament hopes? It is too valuable to pass up. Take Nebraska. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-12-18 | Magic v. Bulls OVER 214.5 | Top | 101-105 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 42 m | Show |
Orlando vs. Chicago Over 214.5 Two teams who should provide a lot of fireworks in this matchup clash on Monday night. Looking at the Magic first, they provide a lot of value for a total in this range. The Magic offer one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA heading into this one. On the road this season, they have conceded 111.8 points against, as they haven't had any success in slowing teams down. Their offense really allows them to stay in games though. They are putting up 107 points and they have a lot of weapons that can hit from all over the floor. As for the Bulls, they have a younger group that plays with a lot of pace. They put up 112 in the most recent matchup of these two teams and defensively, they get beat consistently in transition which certainly bodes well for this Over. Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 Monday games. Over is 4-0 in Magic last 4 games following a straight up loss. Expect a lot of back and forth action here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-11-18 | Mavs v. Rockets -13.5 | 97-104 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 41 m | Show | |
Houston -13.5 The Rockets have a lot of value here laying the points on Sunday night. The Rockets are on a tear right now and they're clicking on all cylinders. Houston has won 7 straight games and come in off dropping a 130 spot on the Nuggets last time out. What has been oddly special about this team has been their defensive abilities. The Rockets limited the Nuggets to just 3 of 28 shooting from behind the arc, as this defense continues to prove they can close out on shooters and cause a lot of havoc on the defensive end. They matchup well here given the Mavericks slow pace and inability to have a huge offensive spark. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Sunday games. Lay the points here. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-10-18 | Texas Tech v. Kansas State UNDER 136 | 66-47 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Texas Tech vs. Kansas State Under 136 The Texas Tech Red Raiders are third in the nation in defensive efficiency. Texas Tech also slows down the pace of the game. Kansas State prefers to play at a slow pace, but their defense has been subpar in much of their Big 12 conference action. Kamau Stokes is healthy again now though, and this Wildcats defense has been much better with him on the floor. Texas Tech won 74-58 at home, and I think Kansas State will be out for revenge here. That should mean a strong defensive effort from the home team in this one. Texas Tech is a team that I trust to play solid defense on a nightly basis with a great defensive-minded coach in Chris Beard leading the way for the program. The pace will be slow here, and I think both offenses will struggle to get open looks. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-10-18 | Iowa +12.5 v. Ohio State | 64-82 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 58 m | Show | |
Iowa +12.5 The Hawkeyes are in a nice situational spot here Saturday. Ohio State has finally put a target on their backs. The leaders in the Big 10 went into Purdue this past week and upset a team that hadn't lost in that building in 21 straight games. Iowa here will have a chance to catch them on a high, as Ohio State may overlook this Hawkeyes team. With the way Iowa can shoot the ball, this is not a team you want to overlook either. The Hawkeyes are putting up 80 points per game and nearly took down Michigan State this past week. Iowa can catch a lot of fire and has the shooters than can big points up very quickly. Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Look for Iowa to catch Ohio State a little off guard here. Back Iowa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-10-18 | Dayton v. VCU -4 | 84-88 | Push | 0 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
VCU -4 The VCU Rams were throttled by Dayton by a whopping 37 points on the road earlier this year. That was a stunner of a game. Now VCU is favored by 4 points? This is a massive revenge spot for the Rams, and I like laying the short number here. VCU remembers that game well when Dayton ran up the score and didn't take their foot off the gas at any point in that game. The Rams are in desperation mode, and I think they do everything they can to return the favor to Dayton in this one. While Dayton is a talented team, they are still very young, and they are walking into a tough spot here. Dayton hasn't been good on the road in the A 10. I don't see it changing in this one. Look for VCU to come out ready to go from the jump. This line tells a story, and I'll take the hungry home favorite. Take VCU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday CBB 9* ATS Play |

02-10-18 | Butler v. Villanova -11.5 | 75-86 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
Villanova -11.5 The Wildcats are in a rare spot here as they look to bounce back from a loss here on Saturday. It was a huge upset as Villanova ran into a red hot St. Johns team in a home loss this week. However, this is a prime spot here for them as they matchup very well with the Butler Bulldogs. Villanova should really be able to get out and run on Butler. The Wildcats have scored fewer than 75 points just twice this season and rank third in the entire nation as they average 88 points per game. Butler simply can't keep up here. The Bulldogs are only putting up 77 points per game and they will see a Wildcats defense that is suffocating. Look for a lot of turnovers to result in some easy buckets the other way for Villanova here. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Wildcats are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss. This is a nice spot here for Nova to really bounce back following a loss. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-09-18 | Eastern Washington +6 v. Idaho | 64-66 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
Eastern Washington +6 The Eastern Washington Eagles are looking for revenge, and they meet Idaho on the road with a chance to get them back for a rare home loss for Eastern Washington earlier this year. The Eagles have been one of the most consistent teams in the Big Sky this year. Idaho is capable of beating everyone in the conference, but they have had several poor efforts as well. Idaho lost at home to Portland State and Northern Colorado already this year. They also beat a very poor Sacramento State team by only one point. Eastern Washington had a strange game in that first meeting with Idaho. They got to the free throw line only two times in that contest. That won't happen again here. Eastern Washington has a great player in Bogdan Bliznyuk and I expect him to have a big game here after he didn't play very well in the first meeting. Grab the points. Take Eastern Washington.

02-09-18 | Detroit v. Oakland OVER 166 | 78-87 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
Detroit vs. Oakland Over 166.5 The Detroit Titans host the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Friday night. This is a rare television game for these two teams. That should mean both of them are amped up to play here and the tempo stays quick. Oakland and Detroit have been blazing fast paced all year, and the first meeting between them easily sailed past this very high number. There's no reason to expect anything different here. Oakland has the most offensive talent in the Horizon League, and Detroit has the worst defense in the conference. Oakland is going to score a lot of points here. The only question is whether Detroit does. I believe they will because Oakland has given up big numbers late in games that they are ahead in. This is also a rivalry game where both teams often get to the line a lot because it is called very tightly by the refs. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB O/U Play |

02-09-18 | Pelicans v. 76ers -5.5 | 82-100 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -5.5 The 76ers have been one of the worst teams in the past seasons, resulting in many first round picks. Fast forward to present day and the 76ers a legit contender heading into Friday night. Philadelphia has proven to have one of the best offensive teams in the NBA as they put up 110 points per game and have one of the most exciting cores in the NBA. They provide such a threat with their inside out game and their ability to push the ball has proven to really open a lot of things up. Meanwhile, they see a New Orleans team that has just struggled. They continue to be one of the worst in the NBA, giving up 111 points per game. Some trends to note. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. 76ers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 Friday games. The 76ers are hot in this situational spot. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-08-18 | UCLA v. Arizona OVER 157.5 | 82-74 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
UCLA vs. Arizona Over 157.5 The UCLA Bruins are the best offense in the Pac 12. UCLA is averaging a whopping 1.173 points per possession against conference foes. UCLA has shooters all over the place. They are shooting 40% from beyond the arc. They also do a great job taking care of the basketball on the offensive end. Arizona ranks second in the Pac 12 in offense. The Wildcats are averaging 1.162 points per possession in conference play. This Wildcats offense has gotten better in recent weeks. Normally, we think of Arizona as a defensive-minded team, but that isn't the case this year. Arizona is 105th in the nation in defensive efficiency. UCLA is 137th. The pace will be there. Arizona is looking to push much more frequently this year, and UCLA always wants to run at every opportunity. Look for an up and down game where both teams put up a big number. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-08-18 | Wisconsin v. Illinois -4.5 | 78-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
Illinois -4.5 Illinois has a chance to avenge their horrible loss from earlier this season in Wisconsin on Thursday night. This is the perfect spot here as the Badgers have been completely flopping as of late. This team has dropped 5 straight games and they have not looked anywhere near figuring things out. The road has also been a horrible place for them. The Badgers are just 1-8 in road situations and are putting up just 57.3 points in those spots. This is a chance for Illinois to really put the pressure on early. They have played very well at home and have seen their offensive numbers jump up to 83 points per game when playing inside their own building. Some trends to note. Badgers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Badgers are 1-6-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Lay the points. Back Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-08-18 | Hawks +3.5 v. Magic | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Atlanta +3.5 The Hawks are in a prime spot to pick the Magic off here on Thursday night. Orlando comes in on a huge high here, as they erased a 21 point deficit to the Cavaliers last time out as they ended up blowing them away. This is a prime let down spot here though, as they take on a much lower team that actually hasn't played all that bad lately. The Hawks have won back to back games they've looked rather impressive on both ends of the floor in their wins over New York and Memphis. Atlanta is searching for their first 3 game winning streak of the season, as they're playing with the most confidence they've maybe had all season. Some trends to note. Magic are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Southeast. Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Look for Atlanta to really try to frustrate these Magic shooters, something they've done well in both their recent wins. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-07-18 | Ohio State v. Purdue -9.5 | 64-63 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 53 m | Show | |
Purdue -9.5 Laying the points with the home side here is the move on Wednesday night. Purdue at home is one of the hardest things to compete with. This team plays with extreme confidence inside their own building and opposing teams typically struggle on both sides of the ball. Purdue has won 21 straight at home and 14 overall this season. What Purdue is doing to teams this season has been really impressive as well. They have won 9 games by 25 or more this season as they continue to wear the opposition down and keep the foot on the gas continuously. They matchup well with this Ohio State team that doesn't play with near enough pace to keep up. Some trends to note. Boilermakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Boilermakers are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 home games. Purdue is just too talented. Back Purdue. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-07-18 | Wolves v. Cavs +4 | 138-140 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +4 The Cavaliers were embarrassed on Tuesday night and this is a prime spot to bounce back. It's no secret things are bad in Cleveland right now. The team is in shambles, rumors continue fly, things are just stressful. However, this team is built with veterans and players who have been through plenty of adversity. Cleveland grabbing points, at home, is a rare sight as well. The Cavaliers matchup well here too. Minnesota is a younger team that really lacks defensive efforts at times. They struggle to close out on shooters and allow a lot of easy transition buckets. Look for Cleveland to attack early and often here, really pushing the Timberwolves back on their heels. Some trends to note. Minnesota is 1-6 straight up in its last 7 games when playing the Cavs, and are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings, and are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Grab the points here. Cleveland is not this bad of a team by any means and eventually the frustrations are going to turn into anger, where we see a fire light underneath them. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-07-18 | Bradley v. Northern Iowa UNDER 123 | 65-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Bradley vs. Northern Iowa Under 123 The Bradley Braves offense has been pretty good overall this year, especially compared to their performance in the previous couple seasons. If you look closer at their numbers though, you'll see that their road numbers are terrible. It is at home that they have been able to put up some impressive totals. Northern Iowa is a great under team for several reasons. First, they slow the tempo down drastically. They rank 345th in the nation in pace. Northern Iowa also rarely gets to the line and almost never fouls on defense. Northern Iowa is very inefficient on offense, but they are a strong defensive squad. This is a Bradley defense that switches up their defenses well, and they have a lot of athleticism and length on defense that should give Northern Iowa's shooters trouble in this one. The MVC is a defensive-minded conference. This total is low, but not low enough. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

02-07-18 | St. John's v. Villanova -17 | 79-75 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 20 m | Show | |
Villanova -17 The Wildcats welcome in St. Johns on Wednesday night and this is a prime spot for St. Johns to overlook a lot of things here. St. Johns comes in after upsetting the #4 team in the nation on Saturday as they took down Duke. After a huge, home win like that, this is a prime spot to see a let down against Villanova. Villanova is in pursuit of their 10th straight win and 7 of their last 9 have been blowout victories. This team is one of the most complete teams in the nation, top to bottom, as they can beat you in so many ways. Whether it be with their high pressured defense that cause a lot of turnovers, or the offensive ball movement that creates a lot of open shots. Some trends to note. Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Expect quite the let down here, as Villanova will get out early and run away with this one. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-06-18 | Thunder v. Warriors OVER 230 | 125-105 | Push | 0 | 22 h 1 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City vs. Golden State Over 230 Two teams who have some of the top players in the NBA meet on Tuesday inside Oracle Arena. This one should provide us with plenty of fireworks and entertainment given what both sides have. Some predicted this to be the Conference Finals matchup earlier this season, as the stars like Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant take the floor here. Both of these teams can produce a lot on the offensive end. The Thunder have started to really turn things up lately on the offensive end. They are attacking much earlier in the shot clock and providing a lot of pressure at the rim. Along with that, you know what you'll get out of Golden State. This team averages 116 points per game and they can score rather quickly and in bursts. Some trends to note. Over is 9-3 in Warriors last 12 vs. Western Conference. Over is 5-1 in Warriors last 6 home games. Look for plenty of action here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play |

02-06-18 | South Carolina +7 v. Arkansas | 65-81 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
South Carolina +7 The South Carolina Gamecocks have been a really feisty ever since Frank Martin took over. They haven't played well the last couple games. They have certainly gotten an earful from their head coach during this time. They should be much better in this one. South Carolina has shown they are more than capable of winning in tough environments. They have already won at Florida just a few games ago. Arkansas hasn't been winning by this kind of margin at all in SEC play. The Razorbacks defense is so bad that opponents can almost always keep the game very close. The Razorbacks are no longer forcing turnovers at the kind of clip they did in the past, and without those turnovers this defense isn't good. South Carolina is a gritty team that should fight right down to the wire here. Grab the points on the underdog. Back South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-05-18 | Syracuse v. Louisville -7 | 78-73 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Louisville -7 The Cardinals laying points at home here a valuable move on Monday night. Syracuse limps into this matchup and that is simply not something you want to do when heading into Louisville. The Orange have dropped back to back games and their top two scorings in Battle and Howard are really struggling from the floor. That doesn't bode well here for them, given the way Louisville has played at home this season. The Cardinals are averaging 82 points per game versus just the 67 they give up and they have gone 13-2 in home situations overall. Some trends to note Orange are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Orange are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Louisville should be able to really create issues here for Syracuse with their high pressure. Back Louisville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-04-18 | Hornets v. Suns OVER 218.5 | 115-110 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
Charlotte vs. Phoenix Over 218 Two teams who play little defense meet on Sunday, giving this Over a lot of value. Both defenses have been horrific this season. The Hornets come into this one allowing 106 points per game, as they just continue to struggle to slow anyone down. They allow easy looks in transition and continue to allow the opposition to push the tempo, really putting them on their heels. Phoenix has been even worse. The Suns are conceding 112 points per game, one of the worst marks in the league. Things hit an all time low for them, allowing 129 points last time out to a Jazz team that simply doesn’t play with any pace at all. Some trends to note. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Given the series history and how both teams play, this Over makes sense. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play |

02-04-18 | Temple -2.5 v. Tulane | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Temple -2.5 The Tulane Green Wave upset Temple 85-75 at Temple as big underdogs earlier this year. Here is Temple's chance for revenge on the road. The Owls have played much better of late. Temple has a nice road win at SMU, a close road loss against a solid Houston team, and their win against Wichita State. The Green Wave haven't been consistent at all this year. Tulane has lost at home to UConn (not a good team this year), South Florida, and Tulsa. Temple overlooked Tulane in their first meeting, but I doubt they make the same mistake here. Temple is a veteran team and they were thumped at home by a team with less talent than them. Now, they get a chance to go on the road and prove they are the better team and get a nice dose of revenge. Expect them to take care of business here. Take Temple. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-03-18 | San Francisco -4.5 v. Santa Clara | 70-59 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
San Francisco -4.5 The San Francisco Dons are playing with revenge on their minds against Santa Clara. San Francisco has been the much better team most of the year, but they slipped up at home against Santa Clara earlier this year due to an ugly shooting night. It happens to everyone, but for it to happen against a Santa Clara defense that ranks near the bottom of the nation in defensive stats is pretty rare. San Francisco would love to go on the road and get revenge in a solid way here. The oddsmakers appear to be tipping their hand a bit here with the Dons being decent sized road chalk. San Francisco is healthier than Santa Clara, and they have had some good performances on the road. Santa Clara's homecourt advantage is one of the smallest in the West Coast Conference. Lay it with San Francisco as they get revenge on their hated rivals. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-03-18 | Pelicans v. Wolves -8.5 | 107-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
Minnesota -8.5 The Timberwolves are a nice move for us here on Saturday night. Minnesota is just red hot at home right now. They extended their winning streak to 11 games inside the Target Center with their win over Milwaukee last time out. This team is playing with extreme confidence and it stems from their pace of play. Minnesota is averaging 110 points per game this season at home as they attack early and often on possessions. That is something New Orleans will certainly struggle with here on Saturday, as they are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games. Timberwolves are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 home games. This team is just too hot to pass up on. Lay the points. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-03-18 | Northern Kentucky -12 v. Cleveland State | 78-61 | Win | 100 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
Northern Kentucky -12 Northern Kentucky is in a nice spot here on Saturday in Cleveland State. Cleveland State comes in off a huge, upset win, over Wright State on Thursday night. Here, this is certainly a let down spot for them against one of the best teams in the conference. Northern Kentucky is just going to be too overwhelming on both sides of the floor. They are averaging nearly 80 points per game, compared to just the 67.5 they give up. They are a quick team that can hit you with bursts, something Cleveland State really doesn't have. Some trends to note. Norse are 9-3-2 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Lay the points here. Back Northern Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-02-18 | Jazz v. Suns UNDER 211.5 | 129-97 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Jazz vs. Suns under 212 The Utah Jazz are much better defensively now that Rudy Gobert is healthy again. That changes this team. Utah always prefers to play at a slow tempo, and it is interesting to see that Phoenix has slowed down in a big way in recent weeks. The Suns rank 15th in the NBA in tempo in their last 10 games. Earlier this year, they were the fastest team in the league. The Jazz offense has been terrible on the road this year. They are coming off an impressive showing against Golden State, but Utah's offense hasn't been great like that consistently this year, and I think this number is too high because of that great offensive showing by Utah in the Golden State win. Phoenix is taking too many contested jumpers and that isn't likely to work against a Utah defense with length all over the floor. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday NBA 8* O/U Play |

02-02-18 | Manhattan -1 v. Siena | 51-47 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Manhattan -1 The Manhattan Jaspers play a unique trapping style that really bothers the Siena Saints. Siena has a lot of youngsters handling the ball. Siena turned the ball over 25 times in the first meeting between these two a few weeks ago. Siena is coming off a triple overtime game earlier this week. Playing that much extra time was a big negative for a Siena team that is already thin because of injuries. I don't see them bouncing back well from a game like that. Manhattan has been better on offense than Siena this year, and the Jaspers have better depth than does Siena. This is a spot where we get a solid amount of line value because of the revenge possibility. Siena wants to beat Manhattan here, but motivation isn't everything. They don't match up well and it should be exposed again. Back Manhattan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-01-18 | Oregon -8.5 v. California | 66-53 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Oregon -8.5 The Ducks laying the points here have value to work with on Thursday night. California has just been a major struggle this season. They enter play just 7-15 on the season and 7-12 ATS. In home situations, things have not got any better either. They are just 4-8 SU and 3-8 ATS while allowing 83 points per contest. Oregon should be able to pick this defense apart. The Ducks play extremely fast and should be able to attack the paint with ease. From that as well, they'll have plenty of chances to kick it open for open looks, something they do so well. Some trends to note. Ducks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Ducks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The road side is the way to go here. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-01-18 | Creighton v. Villanova -12.5 | 78-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Villanova -12.5 Villanova has value here laying the points at home. Nova has dominated this head to head series as of late. They come into play on Thursday winners of 6 straight, with 5 of them coming by double digits. Overall this season, they are playing like a Championship caliber team. They have just 1 loss and are averaging 88 points per game compared to just the 69 they give up. This team can just beat you in so many ways and they should have plenty of success against Creighton, who has struggled to slow teams down on the road. Some trends to note. Bluejays are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win. Bluejays are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Look for Villanova to get out early and really push the tempo here. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-31-18 | Butler +2.5 v. Marquette | 92-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
Butler +2.5 The Bulldogs hold a solid advantage here on Wednesday night against Marquette. Butler took it to the Golden Eagles already once this season, as they put up a 94 spot on them in a game where Kelan Martin dropped 37. This matchup does not bode well for Marquette, who has really struggled on the defensive end. Marquette has averaged 77 points against this year, one of the worst in the conference. With the way Butler can shoot and has been shooting as of late, Marquette could be in for a long night if they don't close out on shooters and stop the Bulldogs from getting out in transition like they did in the first matchup. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Golden Eagles are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win. Grab the points here. Back Butler. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Philadelphia 76ers -7 The 76ers laying the points here has value against Brooklyn on Wednesday night. For starters, the Nets limp into this one on Wednesday night. Brooklyn has dropped 4 straight games and come into this one on the back half of their back to back. The Nets were knocked around inside MSG on Tuesday night and they have really struggled situationally here. The Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The 76ers have also been pretty solid on the road overall this season.They are averaging 106.4 points per game and should really be able to get some open looks against this defense. Some trends to note. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The Nets are a mess right now. This is a good chance for the 76ers to get out early and run. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-30-18 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M -5.5 | 66-80 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Texas A&M -5.5 The Texas A&M Aggies have proven their upside is extremely high this year. Remember the thumping they laid on West Virginia in the first game of the season? It seems so long ago, but this team proved they could handle a pressing defense and pass the test with flying colors. Texas A&M has dealt with all kinds of injuries and suspensions throughout the course of the season. The team has its nucleus playing right now though, and the Aggies have loads of potential. Arkansas is coming off a double overtime game last week during the week and then a big second half comeback to beat Oklahoma State by a point. This is a team that isn't very fresh at all for this one. Perception has gotten really low on the Aggies, and I see this as a good buy point for this team. Lay the short number here. Back Texas A&M. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-30-18 | Nuggets v. Spurs UNDER 202 | 104-106 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Nuggets vs. Spurs Under 202 The Denver Nuggets offense has been really inconsistent this year. Denver is no longer playing quickly. The Nuggets are in the bottom third of the NBA in pace of play in the last month. The Spurs rank last in the NBA in pace of play in the past month. San Antonio doesn't have the offensive firepower they have had in past seasons, but this Spurs team still really gets after it on the defensive end. They are first in the NBA in total defense in the past ten games. The Nuggets are in a strange spot here. Denver fought hard to the finish and almost came back and beat the Celtics last night. A very quick turnaround to play a road game against a high quality defense. I think the Nuggets offense could struggle here, and the Spurs should slow the pace down and keep this under the total. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-30-18 | Buffalo v. Kent State +7 | 79-82 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
Kent State +7 The Golden Flashes have some serious momentum here coming into this one on Tuesday night. Kent State has put together back to back impressive wins over MAC foes Ball State and on the road against Central Michigan Saturday night. Getting this many points, especially at home, is a valuable move. Kent State has gone 8-2 in home situations this season and they are 5-1-1 ATS in lined contests. They have played with extreme confidence inside the MAAC Center and will be up for the challenge here against Buffalo. Look for Jaylin Walker to be the prime difference maker here. Walker dropped 21 in the win on Saturday and he continues to really heat up as of late, sparking this offense. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Golden Flashes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Grab the points here. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-29-18 | Heat v. Mavs +2 | 95-88 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Dallas +2 The Mavericks catch points at home here and have some value in this spot. Dallas has been a team that has given the opposition fits and despite the record they're at, they are still playing with a lot of confidence. Dirk Nowitzki said it after the teams loss last time out that they are are just one big play away typically from turning games around. His veteran leadership is a huge piece to this team that has been able feed off his positivity and energy. The Mavs defensive efforts are really what given them value here. Dallas has averaged just 101 points against this season at home, as the pace they play is really key. They slow things down and tend to take the opposition out of their elements. Some trends to note. Heat are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Heat are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Miami has struggled with lower tier teams. Look for them to struggle offensively here, giving Dallas the edge. Back Dallas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Notre Dame +14.5 The Blue Devils and Fighting Irish battle on Monday night and the visitors plus the points is a the move here. Duke was tripped up by Virginia, at home, on Saturday in a game that really has to still be in the minds of the Blue Devils. They had a chance to take down the #2 team in the country, but coughed up a 2nd half lead and failed to hit some big shots down the stretch. That will certainly cause some distraction here against the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame is no pushover either. They have endured some tough luck as of late, but they have a very threatening offense that is very deep. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Blue Devils are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Look for a distracted Duke team that will struggle here Monday. Back Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-29-18 | Monmouth v. Rider OVER 153.5 | 85-92 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Monmouth vs. Rider Over 153.5 The Monmouth Hawks always like to push the tempo. Rider started running last season as well. Last year, Rider was a team that wasn't efficient on offense and they were good on the defensive end. This year, Rider is much better on offense and a little worse on defense than they were last year. Micah Seaborn is a key part to this Monmouth offense. He has missed a lot of time this year, but he is listed as probable for tonight's contest. Look for him to provide a key spark for this offense. Rider is coming off a low scoring contest against St. Peter's. I think that has made this line come down a few points. That gives us value on the over. St. Peter's is a totally different team. They stall and look to make the game as low scoring as possible. Neither of these teams are that way at all. A fast paced back and forth game. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cleveland finally righted the ship last time out as they found their offensive groove against the Pacers on Friday night. The Cavaliers got contributions all around for really the first time this month as JR Smith and Lebron James led the way. It's those kinds of efforts that really sum up this Cavaliers team and truly who they are. They take on a Pistons team that is just 9-15 on the road this year, as they are averaging just 100 points per game when playing away from Detroit. On top of that, Cleveland has already knocked off the Pistons once this season, as they put up a 116 spot on them back in November. Some trends to note. Pistons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Pistons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Lay the points. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-28-18 | Richmond v. Davidson -11 | 66-63 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Davidson -11 The Davidson Wildcats were beaten by 11 at Richmond earlier this year. Davidson has proven to be the much better team over the course of the season. They should get revenge in a big way here. Davidson scored only 0.91 points per possession in the first game this year against Richmond. In Atlantic 10 Conference play overall, Davidson is averaging better than 1.17 points per possession. The Richmond defense isn't all that good, and I would expect Davidson's offense to look a whole lot better in this one. Richmond has played better of late, but this is still a team that is badly overmatched in talent in this game. Richmond is still a team that lost by 33 points at home to Jacksonville State. Richmond has a good coach in Chris Mooney, but Davidson's Bob McKillop is even better in my book. A motivated Davidson team should roll here. Back Davidson Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-27-18 | Stanford +6.5 v. UCLA | 73-89 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
Stanford +6.5 This is too many points to give to Stanford in this spot here. The Bruins have been a tough team to back for teams this season. UCLA has gone just 9-12 ATS overall and 5-7 ATS at home. The key here for Stanford will be their ability to keep up with UCLA on the offensive end. The Cardinal have built a solid inside out game, as they like to attack the hoop and in turn will find their shooters open outside the arc. Kezie Okpala has been a huge boost for this Stanford team, as he has returned from ineligibility and has become a force on the offensive end. Look for him to be a huge difference maker on Saturday night. Some trends to note. Cardinal are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Cardinal are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 vs. Pacific-12. Grab the points here. Back Stanford. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | Kentucky +9.5 v. West Virginia | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Kentucky +9.5 The Wildcats are grabbing just too many points in this spot here on Saturday night. While the Mountaineers have been a solid team at home, this Kentucky team is still built to compete with the top tier teams in the nation. Kentucky has really been able to use their youth core to bring energy and quick play here this season. Freshman Kevin Knox has led the charge for the Wildcats and over his last 3 games he has averaged 16.3 points per game to go along with 6.0 rebounds. Kentucky has also been very good at limiting teams when it comes to runs. They allow under 70 points per game and they've been able to close out on shooters extremely well and get back in transition, which has been the biggest key. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Kentucky will keep this one close and may even have a shot to steal things here. Back Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | VMI +10 v. Chattanooga | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
VMI +10 The VMI Keydets aren't a good team, but how are they catching ten points here? Chattanooga has all sorts of injuries, and they have had a hard time keeping five guys on the floor this year. The Mocs have no business laying double digits against anyone right now. VMI has improved a bit defensively this year, and that has allowed them to stay in several games in conference play. Chattanooga hasn't won many games, and when they have it has been close ones. They'll probably win this one, but I see no reason to believe it will be by a big margin. Another important factor here is the posted total being set so low. The opening total here was 127 points. Laying ten points with that kind of total isn't easy to do, and with a team as bad as Chattanooga, I see value in going the other way. Back VMI. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | Kent State +6 v. Central Michigan | 84-76 | Win | 100 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
Kent State +6 The Golden Flashes catch points here against a MAC West foe and have a lot of value to work with. Kent State has played extremely well against MAC opponents and particularly against West opponents. Overall, the Golden Flashes are Golden Flashes are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. Mid-American. The defending MAC champs have really been able to keep themselves in games thanks to the constant attack at the rim on the offensive end. They hold a nice edge here against this CMU team that is giving up 71 points per game. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Golden Flashes are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win. Grab the points here. Kent State will keep this one close, with a shot at stealing it outright. Back Kent.

01-27-18 | Virginia v. Duke -4.5 | 65-63 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Duke -4.5 The Blue Devils laying the points here have value, at home, on Saturday afternoon. Duke comes into this one with a perfect record at home, averaging over 90 points per game. Cameron Indoor has always been such a tough place to play for opposing teams and this is a case where the Blue Devils can really give the Cavaliers some fits. Duke has won 5 straight and they are really hitting their stride in terms of how well they're playing on both sides of the floor. Duke has proven they can be scrappy and really force the opposition into some tough shots on the defensive end, while pushing the tempo and finding some easy baskets at the rim on the offensive end. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Atlantic Coast. Duke should be able to take Virginia out of their comfort zone pace wise here. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-26-18 | Lakers v. Bulls OVER 220 | 108-103 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Lakers vs. Bulls Over 220 The Los Angeles Lakers push the pace as much as anyone in the NBA. Without Lonzo Ball in the lineup, this Lakers team has been playing as fast as ever. Where have they been hurt most? On the defensive end. Ball is a better defender than most realize, and the Lakers defensive ratings have dipped significantly without Lonzo in the lineup. The Lakers have a budding star in Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma and Brandon Ingram are stepping up and proving to be great scoring options for this young Lakers team. Chicago's offense has some good balance, and the Bulls like to play to the pace of their opponent. In this case, that is a very quick tempo. The Bulls defense has been in the bottom five in the NBA in the last month. They aren't reliable at all. An up and down battle here, with this one getting past the total. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-26-18 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State UNDER 136 | 61-76 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
Wisconsin vs. Michigan State Under 136 The Wisconsin Badgers aren't nearly as good this year as they have been in recent years, but they can still slow a game down about as well as anyone in the country. Wisconsin isn't going to be willing to run with Michigan State here. The Spartans rank ninth in the nation in defensive efficiency. Michigan State isn't likely to let Ethan Happ touch the ball in scoring positions very often here. Wisconsin's offense is led by Happ, and the Badgers truly don't have any other extremely reliable options on offense. Michigan State is likely to grab an early lead and then use their strong defense to control this one throughout. This game isn't likely to be close enough for a fouling spree at the end of the game. The Big Ten is still a slower paced conference than most, and these defenses should be good on Friday night. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-26-18 | Pacers v. Cavs -5 | 108-115 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -5 The Cavaliers have been in quite a rut lately and it's become a national thing now. With all the supposed finger pointing going on, Cleveland is still one of the best teams in the NBA and a nice few days of rest, this will give them a chance to come out refreshed and with a lot of fire behind them. Along with that, head coach Tyrone Lue hinted at some changes coming to the lineup here in this one. Look for the shuffles to give Cleveland a little more of an edge here and it's apparent to these players that they need to take it upon themselves and step up. Some trends to note. Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Indiana is walking into a bad case here. Cleveland will come out with a purpose here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-25-18 | Gonzaga -21.5 v. Portland | 95-79 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -21.5 The Bulldogs are worth laying the big number here on Thursday night. Gonzaga should really be able to run Portland right out of the gym. The Bulldogs have put up nearly 90 points per game this season and take on a team averaging just 66. Gonzaga has the offensive firepower that no team in the WCC can compete with. They like to get up and down the floor and can score in quick bursts, which is really something Portland can't keep up with here on Thursday night. Some trends to note. Pilots are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Pilots are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. Gonzaga scored over 100 the last time these two teams met. There is no telling what will come here on Thursday against a Portland defense that ranks as one of the worst in the NCAA. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-24-18 | Temple +14 v. Cincinnati | 42-75 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Temple +14 The Temple Owls lost one at the buzzer by two points to Cincinnati earlier this year. They'll be looking to get revenge here at Cincinnati. While I don't expect them to win outright, I don't think this will be a blowout like the oddsmakers expect. Temple and Cincinnati both play at a very slow pace, which makes grabbing this many points that much more attractive. Temple is a good defense, and they are a team that doesn't foul much at all. Cincinnati will have to make their jumpers to win by a big margin here. Cincinnati's single biggest weakness as a team is their inability to consistently knock down jumpers. This is a team that is great on defense, but they aren't very efficient on the offensive end. The Bearcats have been turning the ball over too much as well. In a game with a slow pace and two good defenses, this is too many points. Take Temple. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-24-18 | Rockets -5.5 v. Mavs | 104-97 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
Houston -5.5 The Rockets are just too quick here for the Mavs and should be able to pick them apart on Wednesday night. Houston averages 114 points per game, which is far and above the 102 the Mavs put up. The Rockets like to really push the tempo and issue, something the Mavericks won't be able to keep up with. Along with that, Houston has dominated in every which way head to head. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Dallas. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Houston has played well situationally on 1 days rest. They are just too powerful for the Mavericks in this case. Lay the points. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Chicago Bulls +5.5 The Bulls grabbing points here in this spot is a nice move for us on Wednesday night. Chicago has played teams extremely tough this season and it has actually gone unnoticed a lot. Chicago enters play on Wednesday 29-17-1 ATS this season, one of the top tier marks in the NBA. They have also dominated this series, which helps the cause tremendously here. The Bulls took the first meeting this season at home as they put up 117 points in the victory. Overall, they have taken 7 straight in Philadelphia. Some trends to note. Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games. Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Grab the points here in this one. The Bulls will keep this close with a shot at stealing it. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

South Carolina +10.5 The Gamecocks are in a prime spot to give this Florida team some fits here Wednesday. Florida comes in off a huge win on Saturday night against Kentucky, which has put them in quite the letdown spot here. The Gators snuck away with a 2 point win and while they're on a high right now, this is not an ideal matchup for them. For starters, the Gators are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Along with that, the Gamecocks have dominated this series. They have gone 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Florida. Some other trends to note. Road team is 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Gators are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Grab the points here. Back South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-23-18 | Missouri State v. Bradley UNDER 125.5 | 52-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Missouri State vs. Bradley under 125.5 The Missouri State Bears and Bradley Braves meet in a Missouri Valley clash on Tuesday. Missouri State was the favorite to win the MVC, but they have lost a bunch of close low scoring games this year. The offense hasn't had enough consistent contributors. The defense has been elite all year. Bradley isn't any good on offense. The Braves turn the ball over far too often, and they are reliant on getting to the free throw line. Missouri State has been good at avoiding fouling on defense. Bradley goes through long scoring droughts very frequently. The MVC is a league where I'm not nearly as worried to take a low under as I am in most other leagues. This is a conference where there are a bunch of first one to 60 wins types of games. This looks like another one of them. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-23-18 | Kansas v. Oklahoma OVER 170.5 | 80-85 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Kansas vs. Oklahoma Over 170.5 Two of the top teams in the nation clash here on Tuesday, with this Over having a lot of value. The style that both teams play here will help this point total out tremendously. Kansas averages 84.2 points per game, while Oklahoma sits at 91.6 this season. Both of these teams have really push the tempo and like to attack early in the shot clock. Along with that pace comes some sloppy defense too. Both teams have conceded high point totals as they fail to get back in transition a lot. We should see both teams get some counters here as they both like to grab rebounds and take off. Some trends to note. Over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. This has been an Over series in recent meetings. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-22-18 | West Virginia -1 v. TCU | 73-82 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 6 m | Show | |
West Virginia -1 The Mountaineers are just too valuable to pass up on here with this number. West Virginia has had no issues with TCU in past meetings. Heading into play on Monday night, the Mountaineers are a perfect 11-0 against the Horned Frogs. Along with that, conference play has been a huge issue for TCU. They are tied for last as they have only beaten the pair of teams they're currently tied with. There has been a lot of issues with this team, but the biggest red flag has been their defense. Allowing 78 points per game, it has been a huge struggle to slow teams down, especially ones that like to run and gun. Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Mountaineers are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 Monday games. This matchup just favors the Mountaineers in too many ways. Back West Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-22-18 | 76ers -3 v. Grizzlies | 101-105 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 59 m | Show | |
Philadelphia 76ers -3 The 76ers are catching some fire once again. Winners of 3 in a row, Philadelphia is causing a lot of havoc on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they are proving to be a very dangerous team. They have averaged over 108 points per game this season as this mix of a young core and savvy veterans has really blended well together for them. They also catch a Memphis team that has struggled against the East. Memphis has gone just 2-12 against Eastern Conference foes here in the 2017-2018 season. Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. This number is too low here. Laying the points with a team playing with a ton of confidence has value. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Utah -10.5 The Utes at home here have value to play with on Sunday night. This home/away discrepancy is just too much to overcome here for Washington State. The Cougars come into play 0-5 away from home, allowing 87 points per road game. It’s been a real struggle for them to slow teams down, especially in transition. On the flip side of things, Utah is a solid 8-2 in home situations and this team has flourished on both ends of the floor. Averaging a 14 Point margin of victory in home cases, the Utes have been one of the best teams in the conference at closing out on shooters and allowing nothing easy at the rim. Washington State is just 1-6 ATS Over the last 7 meetings in Utah. This should be a one sided affair here. Back Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-21-18 | Magic v. Celtics UNDER 208.5 | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Magic vs. Celtics Under 208 The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics meet in an early Sunday afternoon contest in Boston. This is a spot where both teams should come out a little sloppy. The early Sunday games have trended under in the long run. Boston's defense has been the best in the NBA for the season, and their defensive numbers are absolutely excellent in the past ten games. Brad Stevens has his team buying in completely on this end of the floor. Orlando has been slightly better defensively in recent games as they have gotten their better defenders back from injuries. Kyrie Irving will play here, but he is likely a little less than 100 percent. Boston should be content to grab a lead and slow this one down on Sunday and save up their energy for bigger games coming up. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play |

01-20-18 | UCLA +4 v. Oregon | 91-94 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
UCLA +4 The Bruins catching points here is a valuable play on Saturday night. UCLA has got off to a rough start in conference play and really can’t afford another slip up here. Luckily for them, they match up very well with the Ducks in this one. Offensively, the Bruins are one of the best in the conference averaging well above 80 points per game. This team continues to put the constant pressure on and will face an Oregon offense that simply struggles with slowing teams down in transition. On top of that, the Ducks have really struggled at home. They have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home contests. Grab the points here. Oregon has really struggled with teams that play with styles like UCLA’s. Look for the Bruins to attack from the outset. Back UCLA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-20-18 | Towson v. NC-Wilmington +6.5 | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
UNC Wilmington +6.5 The UNC Wilmington Seahawks have played much better in recent weeks. Earlier this year, this was a team that was getting blown out on a regular basis. The marketplace got extremely low on this team, and now they are starting to show their potential once again. Remember, this UNC Wilmington team still has a lot of guys from their team that has been the best in the CAA the last two years. They aren't that good this year, but getting this many points at home against a Towson team that is far from dominant is too much to overlook. UNC Wilmington should be able to get out in transition and make this a game that they are comfortable in from start to finish. Towson's offense is inconsistent, and I'll think they'll go through some droughts here. Back UNC Wilmington Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 The Cavaliers welcome in the Thunder for a marquee afternoon matchup here. Cleveland has struggled and it is becoming well known even in the locker room. Playing a team like the Thunder in this kind of spot may just be what this team needs to find a spark. It's not a secret that this Cavaliers team is by far one of the most talented in the NBA. They nearly showed that when they led by 20 against the Magic on Thursday night. Cleveland has also dominated this series lately, which gives them a huge edge. The Cavs have gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings against OKC and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 matchups in Cleveland. Some trends to note. Thunder are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Lay the points here. Look for Cleveland to really come out with passion here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Illinois +4.5 The Fighting Illini grab too many points in this spot here on Friday. Wisconsin has taken a few steps back this season, as they actually sit under the .500 mark. It's been a combination of things for this Badgers team, but averaging just 68 points per game is one of the biggest issues with this team. The Badgers are really lacking that spark from behind the arc, along with an inside presence. That won't bode well here going up against a team that is averaging nearly 80 points per game in this spot either. Look for the Illini to really push the issue here, especially early on. Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss.Fighting Illini are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Grab the points here. Back Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Toronto Raptors -5
The Raptors laying points on Friday is worth the move at home here. Toronto has been extremely solid at home, as they enter Friday with just 3 losses in Canada. Toronto sits with a 16-3 record, as they come in off a home win over Detroit last time out. The real key here is the Spurs injuries. They will be without Manu Ginobili, Rudy Gay, and most importantly Kawhi Leonard here on Friday. These are just too key of pieces to be missing in this kind of matchup. Not only does it hurt the Spurs offensively, but it really opens the floor on the defensive end. These are 3 key pieces that you simply cannot afford to miss as they are so good at closing out on shooters. Given the lack of depth for the Spurs here, Toronto has a lot of value. Lay the points. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play. |

01-18-18 | Louisiana-Monroe v. Texas State UNDER 126.5 | 52-55 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Louisiana Monroe vs. Texas State Under 125 Here, we have a meeting between two teams who want to play as slowly as possible. They are both almost allergic to fastbreak points, and they are both inconsistent on offense in the halfcourt as well. Both of these teams turn the ball over at a very high rate. That means a lot of wasted possessions here. Neither of these teams do much fouling either, and that's important when you are looking at a low posted total. I think we see a really sloppy game here where the winner has somewhere in the 60 point area. The ultra low tempo makes the 125 number still a very solid value. The oddsmakers had a hard time lining this one low enough. Even at this low number, this is a good look toward the under. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-17-18 | Ohio State v. Northwestern +3.5 | 71-65 | Loss | -117 | 13 h 4 m | Show | |
Northwestern +3.5 The Wildcats hosting here gives them huge value on Wednesday night. Northwestern comes into this one a solid 9-2 at home this season and in such cases, they are averaging over 80 points per game. To go along with that, their defense has been absolutely lock down. They are allowing just 63 points per game and really locking things down on shooters. Their track record against Ohio State is also extremely impressive. The Buckeyes are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Northwestern. Ohio State just hasn't been able to figure things out here in this building, as they tend to bury themselves early on and not be able to dig out of things. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss.Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. This is just too many points here to give Northwestern. Back Northwestern.

01-17-18 | SMU v. Wichita State UNDER 145.5 | 83-78 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
SMU vs. Wichita State Under 145.5 The SMU Mustangs have slumped of late, but I still view them as a good team with a solid coach in Jankovich. I don't think SMU is going to want any part of a track meet here. Look for them to slow the game down and try to play this game in the 60's or low 70's. Wichita State has played against some of the weakest defenses in the AAC thus far. SMU will finish the season as one of the better defenses in this league. While they won't shut down the Shockers, they should do a solid job at least making it more difficult on them. Wichita State's defense has been excellent of late, and SMU doesn't have the scoring options they have had in recent years. They really miss having Ojeleye in the post. This number is too high for a game between two strong defensive teams like these. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-17-18 | Fordham v. La Salle UNDER 133 | 67-75 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Fordham vs. LaSalle Under 132.5 The Fordham Rams are just an awful team this year. Fordham plays slowly and hopes to win low scoring games, but it hasn't been working out of late. Fordham scored just 45 points in a loss to Davidson in their last contest. What about LaSalle? They are coming off a triple overtime loss to Duquesne in their last contest. They also went to OT in the game before that. They are likely to have less in the tank for this one. I think that means more missed jumpers. It also likely means they won't be as anxious to run up the score on a bad team and send this one over the number. I think this game plays to a slow tempo and it stays very ugly the whole way. Look for this one to stay in the mid 120's. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-16-18 | Kentucky -2.5 v. South Carolina | 68-76 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
Kentucky -2.5 Laying this small of a number on Kentucky is worthy of a move on Tuesday. The Wildcats have won 5 of their last 6 overall and come into this one dominating the head to head series with the Gamecocks. Kentucky has gone Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in South Carolina. They've been able to really use their depth and speed, two things that South Carolina really lacks. Here on Tuesday, this South Carolina offense likely won't be able to keep up. They are averaging just a bit over 70 points per game, as they are a very slow developing team. That won't bode well here against the Wildcats who like to attack and can put up some big numbers. Some trends to note. Gamecocks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games.Gamecocks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Lay the points here. Back Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-16-18 | Western Michigan v. Kent State +2 | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
Kent State +2 The Golden Flashes have played very well at home this season and against a West foe, they have value here. We backed Kent State this past weekend against Ohio at home and they came through for us as they improved to 6-2 SU inside the MAAC Center. Here against WMU, Kent should find a lot of success attacking the rim. The Broncos are conceding 72 points per game and have really struggled in closing down the paint. Given the inside presence Kent State does have, this should favor the Golden Flashes in a big way. Some trends to note here. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Golden Flashes are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. The home side is the move here, especially grabbing points in this spot. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-15-18 | Warriors v. Cavs +5 | 118-108 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 37 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +5 Revenge is on the mind of the Cavaliers here on Monday night. Thanks to some questionable calls, the Warriors pulled away from the Cavaliers late on Christmas Day and getting the Warriors at home here is just what this team needs right now. Cleveland has dropped 3 in a row and are enduring some tough times. However, Lebron James and company have showed a lot of fire and not much worry during this recent stretch. This is the perfect spot to come out and really make a statement against Golden State. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Cavaliers are 5-2-2 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Cleveland has played very well at home, going 15-4 SU this year. Look for them to come out with a purpose on Monday. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-15-18 | Bucks +5 v. Wizards | 104-95 | Win | 100 | 15 h 28 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks +5 This is just too many points in this situation on Milwaukee Monday afternoon. The Bucks are primed for a bounce back after getting knocked around in Miami on Sunday afternoon. Playing in back to backs has been no issue whatsoever for this team either. Milwaukee is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 0 days rest. They have been one of those teams that have came out with a lot of fire and aggression when playing on the back ends. The Bucks offense will be able to go toe to toe with the Wizards in this case. Washington has given up 105.2 points per game at home this season, one of the bottom tier marks in the conference. Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bucks are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Take the points here. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-14-18 | Blazers v. Wolves -6 | 103-120 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
Minnesota -6 The Timberwolves laying the points here is a nice move on Sunday night. Minnesota has a clear cut advantage as they come into this one red hot. They have given themselves the chance to sweep the homestand, entering play winners of 4 straight games. Overall, they've gone 17-6 SU at home, averaging 110 points per game as they've really played with confidence inside the Target Center. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers bring in back to back losses as the bench has been the biggest concern for them. They simply cannot get any production from anyone not named Damien Lillard, as that really has been the story of this team all season. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Timberwolves are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Western Conference. Lay the point here. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-14-18 | Ohio State v. Rutgers UNDER 135.5 | 68-46 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
Ohio State vs. Rutgers Under 135.5 The Ohio State Buckeyes are currently first in the Big Ten in shooting percentage in conference play. Ohio State is shooting nearly 50% from three point range in the conference. The Buckeyes are a much improved team, but I don't think they can keep this kind of shooting up for the long term. Rutgers knows they are at a talent disadvantage here. The Scarlet Knights have been able to make their last few games a lot more sloppy and that is what gives them a chance. They nearly won at Michigan State with good defense and a slow tempo. They were able to knock off Wisconsin at home with that formula. Ohio State's shooting numbers should regress and Rutgers has a much improved team. I think this game will be a lot uglier than Ohio State's games of late have been. This number is inflated because of Ohio State's recent high scoring. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-13-18 | Gonzaga -13 v. San Francisco | 75-65 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -13 The Bulldogs lay a much lower number than expected here and have value in San Francisco on Saturday night. Gonzaga is once again making themselves a dominant force in the NCAA this season, opening up with a 15-3 record and a solid 9-5-1 ATS mark. They have done it once again with their extremely good offensive production, averaging over 90 points per game. San Francisco just doesn't have enough power to keep up here. Averaging only 68.8 points per game, they are a much slower team, which certainly won't play well when you're going up against this kind of offense from the Bulldogs. Look for them to really get taken out of their element which should force them into some quick shots and bad decisions here. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Bulldogs are 19-6-2 ATS in their last 27 road games. Lay the points here. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-13-18 | Villanova -11.5 v. St. John's | 78-71 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Villanova -11.5 Laying the points here with Nova is the way to go on Saturday night. They hold many advantages here against a St. Johns team that simply cannot keep up in this spot. Villanova is averaging 88.9 points per game this year, one of the top marks in the NCAA. They do it in a number of ways as they move the ball swiftly with a nice inside out game. They have plenty of shooters who can spot up, along with a nice inside presence. They have also dominated this series head to head wise. The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in St. John's and are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Some other trends to note. Wildcats are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Nova should be able to use their pace here to really keep St. Johns off balanced. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-13-18 | Warriors -4 v. Raptors | 127-125 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Golden State -4 This one screams to take the Raptors. The Warriors on a back to back and 5th game in 8 nights, has had the public all over Toronto. Not so fast though. The Warriors laying this kind of number is extremely valuable here on Saturday. Golden State comes into this one after taking down the Bucks on Friday night, pushing their road record to 18-3 SU this season. In that span, the Warriors have averaged 117 points per game, as this offense can score so quickly and in spurts. Golden State has also had their way in this matchup. The Warriors have gone Warriors are 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Some other trends to note. Warriors are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Warriors are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Warriors are just simply the better team and laying the small number is a nice move. Back Golden State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-12-18 | Rockets -7 v. Suns | 112-95 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets -7 The Rockets offense is just too much to handle here for the Suns on Friday night. Houston comes into play here on Friday night just rolling on the road. They have gone 14-5 SU and are putting up 112 points per game in such situations. They are one of the quickest teams and aren't shy about shooting from anywhere on the court. They have had a lot of different players step too. G Eric Gordon has been one name in particular, averaging 24.8 points per game over his last 4. That just adds to a team that is already deep and getting contributions both inside and out. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Rockets are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Houston should be able to use their pace and run the Suns out of here. Back Houston.
