01-24-15 | Utah State +6 v. UNLV | 77-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Utah State +6 The Utah State Aggies aren't as good as they have been in some recent years, but they are still a quality team. Coach Stew Morrill is an extremely good coach who is in his last year of his illustrious career. The Aggies will be putting forth a lot of effort to help him finish strong. UNLV picked up a signature win over Arizona in December, and since they have been downright awful. Dave Rice's team only has two wins since then and they were against Southern Utah and San Jose State. Those are two of the very worst teams in the country. Coach Rice has not proven to be good at making the necessary adjustments to help his team win. He'll be outcoached in this one, and it won't be close. UNLV has the athletes, but they don't have the chemistry needed. Grab the points and the dog. Take Utah State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-24-15 | New York Knicks v. Charlotte Hornets OVER 184 | 71-76 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 46 m | Show | |
The Charlotte Hornets host the New York Knicks on Saturday night. These teams have played over the number in nine consecutive meetings, but oddsmakers are still posting their lowest total for the series in some time. Since the start of December, the over is 5-1 in the Hornets' six games played on the second night of a back-to-back. It's also 8-2 in the Knicks' last 10 games played on the second night of a back-to-back. The Knicks have picked up their play of late, scoring 103.3 points per game. The Hornets have also picked up their pace over the last 10 games, moving from the bottom of the pack in possessions per game up to the middle. With the oddsmakers getting this line flat out wrong, neglecting the recent play of both teams, and this game presenting unique edges, we'll gladly bump this play up to our top rating. The over is 7-0 in the Hornets' last seven games against opponents with a losing record. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday RARE 10* O/U Play. |

01-24-15 | Charlotte v. Middle Tennessee -2.5 | Top | 69-72 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
MTSU -2.5 The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders have been a good team for several years in a row. Kermit Davis is an underrated coach in the college basketball world. Davis has really built this program up to an impressive level. Charlotte is without their head coach Alan Major right now. He's out due to some health concerns. The 49ers have really fallen apart in recent weeks. Charlotte lost in overtime at home to a bad Rice Owls team, and then followed it up with a road loss at UAB in overtime. The 49ers are reeling, and this isn't the type of spot that lends itself to a turnaround. MTSU beat Charlotte on the road by a 71-49 count last year. The Blue Raiders play great defense, and their aggressiveness forced 20 Charlotte turnovers last year. MTSU is starting to hit their stride after a slow start, and Charlotte is going the opposite way. Take Middle Tennessee State -2.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday RARE 10* NCAAB ATS Top Play |

01-22-15 | Brooklyn Nets +12 v. Los Angeles Clippers | 84-123 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers host the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league this season, but that doesn't mean they should be giving away this many points in this spot. The team has lost by 12 or more points only once in its last 13 games. A big reason has been the strong play of point guard Jarrett Jack. While Deron Williams is down with a rib injury, Jack has filled in admirably, averaging 15.7 points and 7.4 assists over the last nine games. Meanwhile, the Clippers have been quite disappointing themselves. While the team has been able to battle through some issues to win three of four, those wins came by only six, nine, and nine points. In fact, the Clippers have covered the number only once in their last five games. Now facing a Nets team that loves to slow the pace, building a margin will be difficult. The Nets are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams. Take Brooklyn. Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play. |

01-22-15 | Furman v. Wofford -12 | 49-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Wofford -12.5 The Wofford Terriers were beaten by The Citadel last week, and I think that was a major wakeup call for this team. Wofford is the favorite to win the Southern Conference, and this team looked great in their big win at home this pastSaturday over Western Carolina. Their opponent here is Furman, and the Paladins are not a good team. Wofford blew them away by 20 or more in both meetings last year. Furman is slightly improved this season, but there's no doubt that Wofford is a better team than they were last year as well. Furman's defense is among the worst in the nation, and Wofford has some really good scorers on their roster. Karl Cochran should have a big game here for the Terriers. Look for a mismatch right from the beginning. Lay the points. Take Wofford. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-21-15 | Columbus Blue Jackets v. Winnipeg Jets -157 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Winnipeg ML We've been advocating the Jets for quite a while now, and they haven't disappointed. Winnipeg has won four games in a row, and look to extend that streak on Wednesday night. The Blue Jackets are playing better hockey as of late, but they're still not nearly in the same class as Winnipeg. The Jets already disposed of the Jackets 4-2 earlier this season, and enter tonight's game having scored 27 goals in their last six contests. Columbus surrenders 33.2 shots per game on the road, so the Jackets could be in for a long night. Columbus also happens to be hosting the All-Star game this weekend. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be playing in that game, and it's not unusual to see goaltenders struggle in the games leading up a home All-Star game. As for the Jets, they continue to get solid goaltending from the youngster, Michael Hutchinson. Our numbers have "Hutch" as the third-best goalie in the league this season behind only Pekka Rinne and Carey Price. His .938 even strength save percentage is elite, and the Jackets won't pose much of a threat with their lack of offensive firepower. Take the Jets. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* NHL ML Play |

01-21-15 | Toronto Raptors v. Memphis Grizzlies UNDER 199 | 86-92 | Win | 100 | 24 h 20 m | Show | |
The Memphis Grizzlies host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. The Raptors have struggled mightily of late, particularly at the offensive end of the court, averaging only 93.0 points per game over their last four contests. However, they've picked up their play at the defensive end of the court, where they've limited opponents to 94.5 points per game. Not surprisingly, the under has come through in each of their last four games. Now they'll take on a Grizzlies squad that likes to slow the pace and plays great defense. In the only meeting between the teams this season, the squads played under a total of 192.5 in a 96-92 Raptors win. With that result, the teams have played under the number in four of five and seven of 10. The under is 23-6 in the last 29 meetings between these teams. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play. |

01-21-15 | Orlando Magic v. Detroit Pistons UNDER 208 | 118-128 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
The Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. The Pistons have really picked up their play since Josh Smith left town, and while the team’s offensive prowess has increased, the greater improvement from the team has come at the defensive end. Smith had been a complete liability for the Pistons at that end of the court, and with five players now going all-out to limit opposing offenses, the results have been noticeable. Now the team’s offense figures to take a step back as offensive catalyst and leading-scorer Brandon Jennings finds himself in another slump. He enters this contest 4-for-19 from the field over the last two games. As for the Magic, they’ve played in some high-scoring games of late which helps boost this total, but those games came at home. Now they’re taking to the road where they average only 93.8 points per game. The under is 9-4 in the Pistons’ last 13 games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |
|||||||
01-21-15 | Memphis v. Tulsa -4 | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Tulsa -4 The Tulsa Golden Hurricane sit atop the American Athletic Conference standings right now. They have been playing much more consistently in recent weeks. Tulsa's road win over Temple told me a lot about their tenacity. Temple is no easy place to play. Tulsa followed that game up with a win at home over UConn. The Golden Hurricane were in the NCAA Tournament last year, and they want back in on the action this year. Tulsa plays terrific defense in the halfcourt, and they are also good at forcing turnovers. The Golden Hurricane currently rank first in the league in turnovers forced. Memphis has been playing better basketball in recent weeks, but their inconsistency has plagued them through Josh Pastner's whole tenure at the school. Memphis can't take care of the basketball, and that should cost them dearly in a game like this one. Lay the points with the home team. Take Tulsa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-20-15 | San Antonio Spurs v. Denver Nuggets UNDER 205 | 109-99 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 21 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. The Spurs bucked the trend of being a defense-oriented team in recent years by really ramping up their efforts at the offensive end, but they've gotten back to dominating at their own end of the court lately. The team famously takes a while to get going on defense in Gregg Popovich's complicated system, and they seem to have finally figured things out. Over their last 10 games, the Spurs have limited opponents to 93.2 points per game. With regards to the total in this game, not a single one of the Spurs' last nine road games played over 203 combined points, including a 99-91 decision in Denver. When playing against Denver, the under has cashed in five of six meetings. The under is 36-16-1 in the last 53 meetings. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 7* NBA O/U Play. |
|||||||
01-19-15 | Vancouver Canucks v. Florida Panthers +122 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Florida ML The Panthers have lost three games in a row, but we're not overly concerned. Florida has been playing well but getting poor goaltending as of late. That's not going to last forever, as Roberto Luongo has been one of the more consistent goalies in the league this season. Luongo was terrific against his former team when they met in Vancouver earlier this month, and this seems like a prime opportunity to get back on track. We often preach the importance of buying low, and selling high, and that's precisely what we're going to do here. The Canucks have literally been the exact opposite of the Panthers in the last week. Vancouver isn't playing particularly well, having been outshot 28-17 by the Canes and 30-22 by the Flyers in their past two contests. Ryan Miller has stood on his head in his past two starts, and he's a more than capable goaltender, but he's struggled mightily against the Panthers, yielding 3+ goals in his last five starts against them. There's really not a whole lot separating these teams right now, but recent results have led to a drastic change in the market. Vancouver had six powerplays in the last meeting between these two teams, and still managed to lose 3-1 on home ice. We'll grab Florida as the underdog. Take the Panthers. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NHL ML Play |

01-18-15 | Indianapolis Colts v. New England Patriots -6.5 | 7-45 | Win | 100 | 121 h 40 m | Show | |
The New England Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.Andrew Luck has played against the Patriots three times in his career. Each time the Colts have lost by at least 21 points. The average score in those games: 48-22.In those three meetings, Luck turned the ball over nine times, including four turnovers in last year's playoff matchup in New England. Under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are 13-0 in the postseason when they win the turnover battle, and 6-8 when they don't.In fact, the turnover bug has been an issue for Luck all season. He's threw 16 interceptions and fumbled the football 12 times during the regular season. After firing two interceptions last week, Luck has now turned the ball over eight times in three road playoff games.That's hardly a recipe for success when going into Foxborough.The Patriots are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games. Take New England. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play. |

01-17-15 | Anaheim Ducks v. Los Angeles Kings -139 | 3-2 | Loss | -139 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Los Angeles ML It may look tempting to back the Ducks as an underdog tonight, but we'e of the opinion that the Kings are actually a short favorite. The Ducks have played eight straight games at home, and now head out on the road. Los Angeles isn't where you want to begin a road trip, especially when Anaheim played less than 24 hours ago while the Kings were sitting at home resting. Anaheim is a solid team but they're the victims of a poor scheduling spot here. Meanwhile, the Kings realize the importance of this game. Los Angeles' home stand has not gone according to plan, and they were done in by some terrible goaltending from Martin Jones in a 5-3 loss to the Devils on Wednesday. Jonathan Quick returns to the crease tonight, and he's posted a solid 14-7-4 career mark with a 2.48 GAA against the Ducks. The Kings' 15-10 home mark isn't especially impressive, but they've been unlucky not to compile a better home record. Los Angeles outshoots opponents by an average 30.0 to 26.8 on home ice, and those numbers should translate to more success. With the Ducks in a bad spot here, we like the Kings to get back on track. Take the Kings. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NHL ML Play |

01-17-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Houston Rockets UNDER 214 | 131-106 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 45 m | Show | |
The Houston Rockets host the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. This is an opportunity for us to get behind a market inefficiency, with the public getting lost in all the points these teams have been known for scoring, while ignoring the strong defense both teams play. Thesse teams have already met twice this season, with totals of 209 and 204.5 points installed for those contests. Despite both of those games playing comfortably under the number, these teams will play with the highest total yet for one of their matchups. That's in spite of the fact that the teams have played under the number in three straight and six of seven, with only one of those seven games playing above 201 total points. The under is 7-1 in the Rockets' last eight games against Pacific Division opponents. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* O/U Play |

01-17-15 | Oklahoma State v. Oklahoma -6.5 | 65-82 | Win | 100 | 15 h 3 m | Show | |
Oklahoma -6.5 The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off their worst performance of the year. Oklahoma was embarrassed in their loss at West Virginia, and this is a great chance for them to get it back together. They face off against their rivals from Oklahoma State. The Cowboys aren't a bad team, but they don't have the firepower they did last season. They rely too heavily on Nash and Forte to make shots from the outside. Oklahoma's defense has been excellent at guarding teams beyond the arc this season. Oklahoma has an underrated home court advantage, and I think they hold a big advantage in the coaching department here. Lon Kruger is a great in-game coach, while Travis Ford has made plenty of key mistakes in the past. Lay the points with the home team. Take Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-17-15 | Wyoming v. Fresno State +2 | 70-65 | Loss | -108 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
Fresno State +2 (+2.5 8*) The Fresno State Bulldogs got a key piece back in the lineup when point guard Cezar Guerrero was made eligible before their last game. Guerrero is the team's play maker and he sets up opportunities for all the guys on this roster. With him back in the lineup, Fresno State should be able to shine. The Bulldogs really struggled to start the year, but even before Guerrero came back, this team was starting to turn the corner thanks to much improved play on the defensive end. The Bulldogs have a history of pulling off upsets at home. They already pulled off one over San Diego State a few weeks ago. While Wyoming is certainly a good team, the Cowboys have never been very good away from home. Wyoming was upset by San Diego State at home on Wednesday night, and the Cowboys now have to go back to the road. Look for their offensive woes that started last game to continue. Take Fresno State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-17-15 | Air Force v. Utah State -6 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 14 h 0 m | Show | |
Utah State -6.5 The Air Force Falcons will play this game without the services of their two best players- Kamryn Williams and Max Yon. Air Force wasn't any good to start with, and now that they have lost their two top scoring options, this team is really in severe trouble. Utah State isn't as good as they have been in past seasons, but the Aggies are always tough to beat in Logan. This is a brutally difficult place to play for opponents, and Utah State will certainly knock off some good teams at home this season. Utah State showed they could beat down weak teams on their home floor recently when they took down San Jose State by a score of 61-33. This one won't be that ugly, but Utah State should win comfortably. Take Utah State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-17-15 | Miami (FL) +6.5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
Miami +6.5 The Miami Hurricanes have definitely proven how good they are on the road already this year. Miami has wins at Florida and at Duke. Those two programs have arguably been the best programs in the nation in the last ten years, so beating both of them is really accomplishing something. Notre Dame is a quality team, but they won't be as good without Zach Auguste. Auguste is academically ineligible and will miss this game. He is the team's second most talented player behind only Jerian Grant. Auguste does a little bit of everything well, and he will definitely be missed. Miami is a balanced team that has a good point guard in Angel Rodriguez. Both of these teams like to slow the game down, so points should be at a premium in this game. Jim Larranaga is a tremendous coach, and given this many points, the Hurricanes are a strong play. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday Rare 10* NCAAB ATS TOP Play |

01-16-15 | Miami Heat +3 v. Sacramento Kings | 95-83 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings host the Miami Heat on Friday night. The Kings have played a very difficult schedule, so the wins aren't there, but the team has played some solid basketball of late. Now they get a Heat squad that has been dreadful, but gets some credit in the public's eye for beating the Los Angeles Clippers and then the Los Angeles Lakers, even though they stunk in The Heat will again be without star guard Dwyane Wade, who continues to be bitten by the injury bug. That's going to hurt them in a game that figures to feature plenty of points. Kings center DeMarcus Cousins finished an assist shy of a triple-double against the Dallas Mavericks, while point guard Darren Collison is averaging career-highs in nearly every major stat category. The Kings are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five home games. Take Sacramento. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-16-15 | Detroit Pistons +1 v. Indiana Pacers | 98-96 | Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
The Indiana Pacers host the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. The public is slow to react to the recent play of these two teams and that allows us to get in at a favorable number in this one. The Pistons have a couple losses in the last seven days which has the public jumping off their bandwagon, but this is a team that's playing great basketball, winning nine of 11, and six in a row on the road. Meanwhile, the Pacers had appeared ot be turning things around, with wins in seven of 11 games, but they've fallen off of late, dropping three of four, including losses to the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves in the last seven days. They also needed overtime to get by the Boston Celtics in that time. Brandon Jennings has been playing lights out for the Pistons, scoring 20.2 points on 46.1 percent shooting with 6.6 assists per game over his last 11. He'll strike the Pistons right where they're weakest, which is at the point guard position. Mo Williams of the Timberwolves just lit the Pacers up to the tune of a career-high 52 points in their last outing. The Pistons are 6-0 ATS in their last six road games. Take Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-15-15 | Belmont v. Murray State -10 | 77-92 | Win | 100 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
Murray State -10 The Murray State Racers are the best team in the Ohio Valley Conference. Belmont was seen by some as the top team in the league before the season, but their results so far this year have shown that they aren't the same team they used to be. Murray State got off to a slow start before getting red hot of late. Murray State hasn't lost a game since November 29th! The Racers offense is tremendous led by Cameron Payne, who is one of the most dynamic guards in the nation. Murray State has had a history of close losses against Belmont, and this is a chance for them to take out some pent up frustration. The Racers are far more talented than Belmont, and this year the Bruins don't have the offensive firepower to keep up. Take Murray State. Thursday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-15-15 | Winnipeg Jets +113 v. Dallas Stars | 2-1 | Win | 113 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Winnipeg ML We're not sure the market will ever catch up to just how good the Jets are. Winnipeg has scored at least four goals in regulation in four straight games, but they continue to be undervalued. We're fine with that. Winnipeg has earned a point in three straight games. While that may not seem impressive, they beat the Kings in Los Angeles on Saturday, and nearly pulled off an upset of the Ducks in Anaheim the day later, falling in a shootout 5-4. The Jets then returned home and completely dismantled a good Panthers team, 8-2. The Jets have seen a bunch of bodies return to the lineup in recent weeks, and that's added depth to a team that was already very deep to begin with. The Stars enter this game allowing a whopping 3.29 goals per game, and Winnipeg's deep group of forwards and offensive defenseman will pose major issues tonight. To make matters worse for the Stars, Anders Lindback starts in goal tonight. Lindback is one of the worst (if not the worst) goaltenders rostered in the league right now. Only 10 of 71 goalies to play a game this season have posted an even strength save percentage short of 90%. Lindback is one of them, with a deplorable 87.42 even strength save percentage. There are too many factors working in Winnipeg's favor to not play them at an underdog price. Take the Jets. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NHL ML Play |

01-15-15 | Colorado Avalanche v. Florida Panthers -142 | 4-2 | Loss | -142 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Florida ML These are two teams trending in opposite directions, but the market has failed to adjust enough. As we've been preaching all season, the Avs are an awful team. Semyon Varlamov has been steady between the pipes, but the Avs are struggling to score and their defense surrenders an insane amount of scoring chances on a nightly basis. Just to put things into perspective, Colorado has allowed an average of 43.2 shots per game over their last five games, including 46 shots against a Carolina team that is offensively challenged. The Panthers end this game coming off of an 8-2 loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. We'll give Florida a pass for that one as they've been consistently good for weeks now. If anything, that blowout loss works in our favor tonight as the Panthers have had a day to stew. They'll be ready to go at home tonight. Roberto Luongo gets the start again for Florida. Prior to allowing four goals against the Jets, Luongo had been lights out, posting a 1.91 goals against average over his previous 11 starts. Luongo loves facing the Avalanche as he boasts a 13-0-2 record with a 2.05 GAA against Colorado over the past five years. Florida is better than Colorado in every aspect of the game, and we love the situation for them tonight. Take the Panthers. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* NHL ML Play |

01-15-15 | Montreal Canadiens v. Ottawa Senators -110 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
Ottawa ML We cashed a winner with the Habs last night, but we're ready to come back and play against them on Thursday. Montreal will be spent following yesterday's come-from-behind victory over the Jackets. The Habs trailed by two goals midway through the third, and now have a quick turnaround as they head to Ottawa to take on the Sens. Montreal has been hot on the road, having won six in a row, but much of that success can be attributed to the play of Carey Price. Price is an elite goaltender, but his backup, Dustin Tokarski certainly is not. Tokarski is making only his second start since November 29th, and his 91.72 even strength save percentage is far worse than Price's 93.65. Ottawa fell 5-4 in Dallas on Tuesday night, but the Sens actually played a decent game. Ottawa got out to an early 2-0 lead, but things fell apart with some poor goaltending by Robin Lehner. Lehner will be on the bench tonight, as Craig Anderson shoulders the load. Anderson has been one of the league's best goaltenders this season, and he should be able to keep pucks out of the net, as Montreal doesn't generate very many chances on the road. This game is in a pick'em range, but we believe that the Sens are underpriced given the situation, and the big edge between the pipes. Take the Sens. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NHL Thursday ML Play |

01-15-15 | Louisiana-Lafayette v. Georgia Southern -1 | 70-78 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
Georgia Southern -1 The Georgia Southern Eagles are in their first year in the Sun Belt, but they should be able to contend in this weak basketball conference. Georgia Southern has one thing that really helps them stand out from the rest of the conference- size on the inside. Georgia Southern has Trent Wiederman and Eric Ferguson on the inside, and both of those guys are very talented players. The Eagles will keep feeding them the ball here, and Lafayette really doesn't have an answer. The Ragin' Cajuns have had some nice wins in recent weeks, but that just gives us more value here. Louisiana Lafayette has yet to prove themselves away from home, and this is a bad matchup for them. Too short of a price on the home team here. Take Georgia Southern. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

The Golden State Warriors host the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.The general public has forced us to make a move here with the total in this game dropping three points with the news that Dwayne Wade likely won't suit up. If he does, bonus. If he doesn't, well, these teams have already shown they can play over the number without himThe number was set at 202.5 for the first meeting between these teams this season, and the teams played comfortably over, combining for 211 points despite Miami shooting 38 percent from the field.This time around, the Heat may not even need the full 97 points they scored last time. In eight home games over the last 30 days, the Warriors are scoring 118.8 points per game.The over is 4-0 in the Warriors' last four games played on the second night of a back-to-back.Take the OVER.Good Luck, Razor RayWednesday 9* NBA O/U Play.

01-14-15 | Philadelphia 76ers v. Toronto Raptors OVER 202 | 84-100 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
The Toronto Raptors host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.The Raptors are scoring 109 points per game over their last 10 contests. The team has been buoyed by the strong play of point guard Kyle Lowry, who is averaging 23 points per game in those outings.Now the team gets a cushy soft 76ers defense. In five meetings between the teams over the last five seasons, Toronto is averaging 112.8 points per contest.As for the 76ers, they're coming into their own at the offensive end of the court, finding some consistency thanks largely to the contributions of Tony Wroten. In the month of January, Wroten is scoring 19.8 points per game.The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings between these teams. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play. |

01-14-15 | Montreal Canadiens -119 v. Columbus Blue Jackets | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Montreal ML The Habs have lost back-to-back games but that doesn't have us overly concerned. Montreal swept a five-game road trip to prior to those two losses at home, and as is often the case in the NHL, it can be difficult to find the same level of energy when returning home from an extended road trip. Now Montreal heads back out on the road where they've been phenomenal this season. The Habs will attempt to win their sixth straight game on the road for the first time in 33 years tonight, which just goes to show how strong their road game has been as of late. They'll attempt that feat with Carey Price between the pipes, who has been rock solid again this season. The Jackets got off to a terrible start this season due to injuries, but they haven't been much better now that they're healthy. Columbus has lost back-to-back games by the score of 5-2, and they're an undisciplined team, which makes matters a whole lot worse. The Habs will be looking to open up their road trip on a high note and they should dispose of a weak Jackets' squad relatively easily. Take the Habs. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NHL ML Play |

01-13-15 | Vancouver Canucks v. Nashville Predators -149 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Nashville ML The market still hasn't caught up to just how good the Predators are. In our estimation, Nashville is the best team in the league right now, and it's not even close. What's not to like about the Preds? They've accumulated a 16-2-1 record on home ice. They haven't lost in regulation since December 23rd. They've averaged 4.0 goals per game over their 11 games played. And to top it all off, they have the best goaltender in the world right now in Pekka Rinne. Nashville is a stylistic nightmare for Vancouver. The Canucks are coming off of back-to-back home losses to the Panthers and Flames, two teams with a decent forecheck. Vancouver is in for a world of hurt against one of the better forechecks in the league. Nashville boasts a very deep group of forwards, and they'll give major issues to a Canucks defense that desperately misses Dan Hamhuis, who is still out of the lineup due to injury. What makes Nashville's recent success even more impressive is that their powerplay has been abysmal. The Preds have scored on just five of their last 61 powerplays at home (8.2%), but that's bound to turn around sooner or later. This is a massive underpricing by the oddsmakers. Vancouver's advanced metrics suggest that a fall from grace is on the horizon, while Nashville is the real deal, especially at home. We'll gladly bump this up to a top play. Take the Preds.

01-13-15 | Minnesota Timberwolves v. Indiana Pacers UNDER 198 | 110-101 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 51 m | Show | |
The Indiana Pacers host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. The Timberwolves have struggled mightily when making the trip out to Indiana, losing 10 in a row there. A big reason has been their inability to score the basketball. In their last three trips, Minnesota has mustered only 87.7 points per game when visiting the Pacers. Now these teams meet on Sunday with each getting a couple days off to prepare. Each side's head coach will surely be emphasizing defensive fundamentals, an area in which the Pacers pride themselves, and the Timberwolves rank last in the league. Additionally, both sides are dealing with injuries to their top offensive performers, including the starting point guard for each team. That's going to make it difficult for both sides to find quality shots, slowing the pace of the game. The under is 7-3-1 in Indiana's last 11 games against NBA Central Division opponents. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

01-12-15 | Ohio State +7 v. Oregon | 42-20 | Win | 100 | 102 h 40 m | Show | |
Ohio State +7 Ohio State may roll into this game as a touchdown underdog, but they are a stylistic nightmare for Oregon. The Ducks pride themselves on controlling the ball, and tiring out opposing defenses. The problem here is that the Buckeyes are a solid running team with a stout offensive line. Ohio State can pound the rock and keep that Oregon offense on the sidelines, all while keeping their defense fresh. The Buckeyes are also one of the few teams in the nation that won't have difficult against the Ducks' speed. Oregon is a very fast team. However, since Urban Meyer took over in Columbus, there has been an emphasis on recruiting speed. The Buckeyes have a speedy group of wideouts, but most importantly, their linebackers and secondary can move as well. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones may be their third-string quarterback, but he's better than most first-stringers in the nation. Jones is barely a dropoff from J.T. Barrett (if that), and possesses both a quality arm and the ability to move the chains with his feet. Jones carved up a better Bama defense a couple of weeks back, and he'll duplicate that success on Monday night. With one of the best (if not the best) coaches in college football on the sidelines in Urban Meyer, we'll gladly support the underdog in the National Championship. Take the Buckeyes. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* CFB ATS Play |

01-11-15 | Illinois v. Nebraska -2.5 | 43-53 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show | |
Nebraska -2.5 The Nebraska Cornhuskers haven't played well so far this year, but they have a good coach in Tim Miles, and they should continue to improve as the year moves along. Nebraska is a much better team on their home court, and they have the home court advantage here. Illinois is coming off a really nice home win against Maryland. The Fighting Illini are without star Rayvonte Rice. While they were able to win without him earlier this week, that game was at home, and the rest of the team shot it well. I don't think Illinois gets the same kind of game from the role players on the road in Lincoln. Nebraska's defense is good, and Petteway is a real force for the Cornhuskers. Nebraska needs a nice win, and they should pick it up and cover. Take Nebraska. Sunday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-11-15 | Phoenix Suns v. Memphis Grizzlies UNDER 207 | 110-122 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
The Memphis Grizzlies host the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. The first time these teams met this season, they played with a posted total of 192.5 points, and while they only played to 193 points, they see a bump of 14.5 points in the total for this one. The total is the lowest installed for a Suns game in a while, and while they've been scoring points in bunches, they've been playing teams that play at much faster paces than the Grizzlies. In nine meetings with the Grizzlies over the last three seasons, the Suns haven't reached the century mark in scoring a single time, averaging 91.1 points in those contests. The Grizzlies have played only two home games since Dec. 29, buy they've exhibited the kind of stout defense that makes them so difficult to beat there, limiting their opponents to just 85 points in those games. The under is 4-0-1 in the Grizzlies' last five games played on a Sunday. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play. |

01-11-15 | Indianapolis Colts v. Denver Broncos UNDER 54 | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 52 h 44 m | Show | |
The Denver Broncos host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. While the first two meetings between these teams since Peyton Manning's move to Denver both played over the total, there’s been a shift in style for both of these squads. Manning and Andrew Luck will dominate the headlines, but they won’t have as big an impact on this matchup as many anticipate. Manning’s play down the stretch wasn’t what we’re used to seeing from him, though. Over the final four games of the regular season, Manning posted a quarterback rating of 76.8 with three touchdowns and six interceptions, averaging 247.5 yards per game. On the other side, the Colts’ offense has settled down some, leaning more on their running game with the emergence of Daniel Herron. The under is 5-0 in the Colts’ last five games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play |

01-11-15 | Dallas Cowboys v. Green Bay Packers UNDER 52 | 21-26 | Win | 100 | 48 h 15 m | Show | |
The Green Bay Packers host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been the best player at his position this season, but a big part of what makes him great is his ability to get out of the pocket and make plays. With news that his calf injury is more severe than initially feared, his prospects of lighting up a Dallas secondary that just contained Detroit's strong passing offense aren't good. As for the Cowboys, they're going to continue to do what they do best, and that's run the football. With DeMarco Murray's hand injury clearly not an issue, the Cowboys will be able to control the clock and keep the Packers' offense off the field, slowing down the game as best they can. With the weather at Lambeau Field looking like it will play a factor, all indications are the teams will be in for the king of low-scoring, grind 'em out game we've come to expect during the postseason. The under is 4-0 in the Cowboys' last four games played in January. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play |

01-10-15 | Carolina Panthers v. Seattle Seahawks UNDER 40 | 17-31 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 20 m | Show | |
The Seattle Seahawks host the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. Through the first seven weeks of the season, the Seahawks ranked 19th in scoring defense, allowing 23.5 points on 324.5 yards per game. Down the stretch, they looked like their old selves, limiting opponents to three touchdowns and a total of 39 points over the final six games of the regular season, allowing only one of those six opponents to score more than seven points. These teams have met three times over the last three seasons, and none of those games yielded much in the way of offense. Each game took place in Carolina, with a final scores of 16-12 in 2012, 12-7 in 2013, and 13-9 in 2014. Each game, of course, played well under the posted total. As for the Seattle offense, they’ve had trouble moving the ball against this sneaky good Carolina defense. While the Panthers couldn’t put together a year’s worth of solid defensive games, they did seem to find some answers down the stretch, and that should mean another solid performance in this one. The under is 9-4 in the Seahawks' last 13 home games. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* NFL O/U Play |

01-10-15 | Milwaukee Bucks +7.5 v. Chicago Bulls | 87-95 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls host the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday evening. The Bulls have struggled mightily of late, and the short turnaround from last night’s game won’t help the club, which relies heavily on system play and strong coaching. The Bulls are 3-5 in their last eight games played on the second night of a back-to-back. The Bulls have struggled to shoot the ball in a big way, hitting at a 33.3 percent clip in a loss to Utah, then knocking down just 38.6 percent of their shots in Friday’s loss to Washington. That’s not a recipe for success going against a Bucks team that has stepped up its defensive play lately, holding 11 consecutive opponents under 50 percent shooting. Taking to the road isn’t an issue for the Bucks, either. Since Dec. 10, the team is 7-2 on the road, with those two losses coming by seven, and four points. They also went 3-1 in Chicago the last two seasons. The Bulls are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games, while the Bucks are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games. Take Milwaukee.

01-10-15 | Brooklyn Nets v. Detroit Pistons UNDER 196 | 93-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
The Detroit Pistons host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. The Nets brought in Deron Williams to be the team’s star a couple years back, and that move has not paid off for the team, particularly this season with Williams finding another head coach to clash with in Lionel Hollins. Instead, the team is forced to run Hollins’s system, which essentially consists of slowing the game down to a crawl. Over its past four games, Brooklyn has scored an average of 85.3 points while surrendering 90.8 points per game. After cashing a ticket on the under in the team’s game on Friday night, we’ll gladly go back to the well in this one with the team facing a Pistons squad that has been rejuvenated on the defensive end since letting Josh Smith leave. The under is 11-3 in the Nets’ last 14 games, and it is 5-2 in the Pistons’ last seven games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play. |

01-10-15 | Baltimore Ravens +7 v. New England Patriots | 31-35 | Win | 100 | 28 h 43 m | Show | |
The New England Patriots host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon. The Patriots' home field advantage gets a lot of publicity, but the reality is, what's been an advantage for the team during the regular season hasn't really translated into the postseason. New England is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 home playoff games. One team that has given them a lot of trouble at home is the Ravens. Since 2000, the Ravens are 2-1 in New England during the postseason. A big part of the Ravens' success against the Patriots has been their ability to get Tom Brady off his spot with their pass rush. With the Patriots continuing to skimp on personnel along the offensive line, another big day can be expected from the likes of Haloti Ngata, Chris Canty, and Brandon Williams. The Ravens are 6-0 ATS in their last six playoff games. Take Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday NFL 9* ATS Play |

01-10-15 | Virginia Military +1 v. Furman | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
VMI +1 The VMI Keydets know what they want to do, and that is run and get up as many shots as possible. VMI just gave Wofford a very tough game (losing 75-70) on the road on Thursday night. The Keydets style of play is going to bother teams in this conference. VMI moved to the Southern Conference this year. Teams like Furman haven't been used to playing against an offense like the one VMI runs, and that is tough to prepare for. Wofford is the favorite in the Southern Conference, and they needed a late run to beat VMI. Furman is a really bad team who has been beaten up consistently in the past in the Southern Conference because of their terrible defense. Look for VMI to outscore Furman as they push the tempo successfully in this matchup. Take VMI. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-10-15 | Georgia Tech v. Wake Forest -2.5 | 69-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Wake Forest -2.5 The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have shown a lot in their last two losses at home against Louisville and Duke. The loss to Louisville was a game where they led much of the second half. It would have been very easy to not show up against an elite Duke team, but the Demon Deacons gave the Blue Devils a real scare. Danny Manning is changing the culture at Wake Forest, and we trust him to motivate his team for their third straight home contest. This is an opportunity to get back on track. Georgia Tech's offense isn't good at all, and they rely almost solely on offensive rebounds for long periods of time, and we all know how that usually turns out. Brian Gregory hasn't proven himself to be a good coach when it comes to making adjustments, so Manning has the advantage. Take Wake Forest. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-09-15 | Minnesota Timberwolves v. Milwaukee Bucks UNDER 204.5 | 84-98 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Bucks host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. The Bucks have been riding an incredible under streak, failing to reach the number in eight consecutive contests. The reason has been a major discrepancy between the public's perception of the team and reality. Milwaukee plays at a fast pace, leading to some higher scoring games early in the season when the team was still figuring out new head coach Jason Kidd's defensive system. Now that they have, they're failing to reach the lofty totals oddsmakers are installing for their games. The Bucks have held 10 consecutive opponents under 50 percent shooting. Now they get a Timberwolves team playing without some of its best offensive weapons, and is now dealing with an ailing Mo Williams. Minnesota was limited to 86 points in the first matchup between these teams this season, and that was in Minnesota. Their prospects for scoring in Milwaukee aren't great. The under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings between these teams. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday 9* NBA O/U Play |

The Brooklyn Nets host the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. The Nets have had a ton of trouble scoring the basketball of late, shooting below 40 percent from the field in each of their last three games. In those contests, the team averaged only 84.3 points, despite even getting to overtime in one of those contests. As for the 76ers, they've been having trouble scoring the basketball all season, particularly when playing on the road. Philadelphia has played over the total just six times in 18 road contests this season, averaging 85.6 points in those contests, which is nearly 10 points below their season average. The team's had even more trouble scoring the basketball in divisional matchups, where they average 84.8 points per game on 37.6 percent shooting. The under is 5-0 in the 76ers' last five games against Atlantic Division opponents. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday NBA 8* O/U Play |

01-08-15 | Ottawa Senators +111 v. Colorado Avalanche | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Ottawa ML The Avalanche are coming off of a victory over one of the league's best teams, which means it's a perfect time to hop aboard the fade train. Colorado isn't a very good hockey team. The Avs are just 16-24 this season, and a less than impressive 9-12 at home. The main reason for this lack of success is that they get outshot night in and night out. The Avs allow 33.9 shots per game, while only registering 28.7 shots of their own, and that's simply not a winning strategy in this day and age. Ottawa isn't a very good team either, but they've put in back-to-back decent road performances, including a 3-2 win in Boston less than a week ago. While Avs' goaltender Semyon Varlamov is getting a ton of credit right now for Colorado, it's the Sens who have the better netminder. Craig Anderson has been consistently good this season, and boasts a stellar 1.68 GAA in his last seven starts. The Avalanche are just 5-13 in their last 18 games following a win, and 5-12 in their last 17 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Take the Sens.

Winnipeg ML These two teams aren't in the same league and we'll gladly capitalize on the generous price being offered tonight. Simply put, the Jets own the Coyotes. Winnipeg has won five straight games in this series, allowing just six goals in that span. Earlier this season, the Jets dismantled the Coyotes 6-2 in Arizona, and their depth will certainly give the Coyotes issues once again. Arizona has lost two of their last three games by a score of 6-0. Mike Smith gets the nod in net again for the Coyotes, and he's been a disaster all season long. His last six games have been an absolute nightmare as he's posted a ridiculously poor 4.85 GAA in that span. Smith hasn't fared much better against the Jets, dropping four straight starts while posting a 3.45 GAA. Winnipeg is a solid road team, posting an 11-8 mark away from home this season, while limiting opponents to a measly 2.1 goals per game. While they've lost three of their last four games, we'll give them a pass for dropping contests to the Sharks and Islanders. Winnipeg's last two road games have seen them dominate two great home teams in the Blackhawks and Wild. The Jets are 13-3 in their last 16 games against teams with a losing record. The Coyotes are 4-11 in their last 15 games against Western Conference opponents. Take the Jets. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* NHL ML Play |

Nebraska Omaha -3 The Nebraska Omaha Mavericks can put up the points in a hurry. This team upset Marquette on the road earlier this year and scored 97 points in that game. They also beat a pretty good Nevada team by 24 points at home earlier this season. North Dakota State was a good team last year, but this year's team looks nothing like last year's. Without their top three players from last year, North Dakota State is a shell of its former self. They dominated the Summit League last year, but that isn't going to happen this season. Nebraska Omaha lost both times they played North Dakota State last year, and you know they have revenge on their minds here. North Dakota State doesn't have many scoring options this year, and they aren't likely to be able to keep up with this high powered Omaha attack. Take Nebraska Omaha. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-08-15 | Washington Capitals v. Philadelphia Flyers -105 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Philadelphia ML The Capitals are a hot team right now, but we expect them to decline in the near future. Tonight is a tough spot for Washington, having played in Toronto last night while the Flyers were sitting at home resting. Head coach Barry Trotz said this after last night's game, "I thought we were pretty slow out of the gates". If the Caps were slow in the first half of a back-to-back, we expect them to be slow again tonight. Braden Holtby has started 22 straight games for the Caps and this taxing schedule could certainly be catching up to him. If Holtby starts again tonight, he'll battle a Flyers team that has tagged him with a 5.43 GAA over his last three starts. If the Caps choose to go with Justin Peters, they'll be starting one of the worst netminders in the league. The Flyers ended a five-game losing streak last time out. We'll forgive Philly for their recent poor play as they were without their superstar, Claude Giroux, for most of those games. Philadelphia was also mired in that slump on the road, and now have a chance to get back on track at home, having won the first game of their four-game homestand. The Caps are 1-5 in their last 6 games playing on no days rest. The home team is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between these two teams. Take the Flyers. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NHL ML Play |

The Denver Nuggets host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. While Orlando is going through another disappointing season, offense certainly hasn't been the problem for the team. Tobias Harris is averaging 18.3 points, and Nikola Vucevic is adding 17.9 points. Victor Oladipo has also stepped up his play at the offensive end to the tune of 19 points per game over the last four games. Meanwhile, Denver is getting All-Star numbers from point guard Ty Lawson, who is averaging double-digit assists while also scoring 16.3 points per game. Teammate Arron Afflalo is shooting 61.4 percent from the field over his last three games. Put these games together an points follow. In the last three meetings, the teams have played over the total by a combined 40.5 points. In two meetings last season, Denver averaged 120 points to Orlando's 103. The over is 4-1 in the Magic's last five games overall. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play |

The Charlotte Hornets host the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. These teams met in early November and played just a hair over the number in a game in which both squads shot well from the field. The teams combined to play to 191 points in a game in which the total closed at 190. Now we see a number installed as high as 195 in some spots, which is hardly justified given the current state of both squads, and the change in venue. New Orleans averages more than nine additional points when playing at home, while the Hornets have been playing to lower numbers at home, with the under going 4-1 in their last five in North Carolina. Charlotte's been forced to play a more defensive style with second leading scorer Al Jefferson sidelined, leading to more minutes for defensive-minded Bismack Biyombo. The Hornets are averaging 90.7 points over their last seven games. The last four meetings between these teams in Charlotte have yielded a combined average of 170.3 points. The under is 8-2 in the Pelicans' last 10 games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

Indiana State -1.5 The Indiana State Sycamores played some bad basketball earlier this year, but Coach Lansing seems to have his team turned around right at the correct time. They have picked up two really nice wins to start Missouri Valley Conference play. Indiana State went to Illinois State and pulled off a big road upset. Winning on the road is really tough in the MVC, and that win was impressive. Indiana State then came home and upset Evansville. The Aces should be one of the better teams in the MVC this year. Missouri State has played better of late, but their inconsistency this year is troubling. As mentioned earlier, winning on the road in the MVC is really tough and Indiana State has a nice home court advantage. Marcus Marshall too often has to be a one-man show for Missouri State, and that normally doesn't win games on the road. Take Indiana State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

Alabama -4.5 The Alabama Crimson Tide had a disappointing season last year, but Coach Anthony Grant's team has looked much better so far this year. Alabama isn't necessarily more talented this year, but they have much better team chemistry and sometimes that is even more important than overall potential based on talent. Texas A&M is better than they were a year ago as well, but we don't believe their improvements are as drastic as Alabama's. The Aggies have played two road games this year, and haven't been particularly close in either of those losses. The Aggies haven't played a good schedule thus far either, and Alabama has been playing some top teams tightly. Alabama has an underrated home court advantage, and with Texas A&M being a good fade on the road in recent years, we'll back the home team and lay the points here. Take Alabama. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-06-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Montreal Canadiens -110 | 4-2 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
Montreal ML The Habs are the hottest team in hockey right now, and it's tough not to back them at a pick'em price at home against anyone in the league right now. Montreal has won six straight games, with five of those six victories coming on the road. Now they return home, where they're 13-5 in 18 games this season, outscoring opponents by an average margin of 3.3 to 2.2. The Habs also have extra incentive for this game. Montreal swept the Lightning in the playoffs last season, but in their first meeting earlier this season, the Habs got thumped 7-1. Montreal has had a bitter taste in their mouth since then, and they'll be looking to avenge that defeat. It helps that the Habs have arguably the best goaltender in the NHL between the pipes. Price has 1.34 goals against average over his last nine start, and a stellar 2.04 GAA in his last five starts against the Lightning. Tampa Bay is a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, but their road game needs significant improvement. Despite a 25-16 record this season, the Lightning are just 10-11 on the road, where they've been outscored and outshot. We'll grab the short price with Montreal. Take the Habs.

The Portland Trail Blazers host the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. The Lakers get this game on the second night of a back-to-back, a spot that hasn’t been terribly great for their offense. In their last five games played on the second night of a back-to-back, the team is averaging 95.5 points per game, well below their season average of 102.2 points per game. As for the Trail Blazers, they’ve really taken a step forward from last year’s group, which played as fast as it could with little regard for defensive responsibilities. On the season, Portland is limiting opponents to 93.5 points per game on 42.4 percent shooting when playing at home. Even so, oddsmakers priced this game as if an ol’ Wild West shootout were expected, allowing us to get in at a favorable number. The under is 13-6 in the Trail Blazer’s last 19 home games, and it is 7-3 in the Lakers’ last 10 road games. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 8* NBA O/U Play. |

01-04-15 | Indiana Pacers -1.5 v. Los Angeles Lakers | 87-88 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The Lakers haven't played all that well this season, and things haven't gotten any better as the season has progressed. Los Angeles has lost four of five and seven of nine. As for the Pacers, they've got George Hill back on the court and it's paying dividends. Indiana has won three of four and five of seven. These teams met just two weeks ago and the Pacers throttled the Lakers to the tune of 110-91. The venue change won't be enough to flip the script on this night. The Pacers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine road games. Take Indiana. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

The Dallas Cowboys host the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The presence of Ndamukong Suh is big for the Lions, but not enough to stop a Cowboys offense that has been firing on all cylinders for some time now, averaging 41.3 points over the last four weeks. The Lions' offense has struggled at times this season, but they'll surely come up with their best game plan yet to attack a Cowboys defense that remains vulnerable. The last time we saw the Lions in the postseason, the game produced 73 points. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings between these teams. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play. |

01-03-15 | Philadelphia 76ers v. Los Angeles Clippers UNDER 207.5 | 91-127 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 60 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. The 76ers have had plenty of trouble scoring the basketball when taking to the road this season, and doing so when playing on the second night of a back-to-back has been ever more difficult. When playing on the road on the second night of a back-to-back, the 76ers are averaging 85.5 points per game. When both games of the back-to-back are played on the road, as is the case Saturday night, the team is averaging 79.0 points per game. As for the Clippers, they've lacked the offensive explosiveness they've come to be known for in recent years. The under has come through in each of their last four games, and the over hasn't hit in their last seven home contests. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these teams. Take the UNDER.

01-03-15 | Washington Wizards v. San Antonio Spurs -5 | 92-101 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
The San Antonio Spurs host the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. The Spurs have dealt with some injuries which has kept them down of late, but they couldn't be happier with their draw on Saturday. San Antonio hosts a Washington team which it has beaten 13 consecutive times at home, and 16 consecutive times overall. As for the Wizards, they draw this game on the second night of a back-to-back. The last time they played on the second night of a back-to-back, they were absolutely throttled by the Dallas Mavericks in a 27-point loss. After going down to the wire in Oklahoma City on Friday night, Washington may not have a whole lot left in the tank when they arrive in San Antonio. Take San Antonio. The Spurs are 19-5-2 ATS in the last 26 meetings between these teams, and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-03-15 | Baltimore Ravens +3 v. Pittsburgh Steelers | 30-17 | Win | 100 | 77 h 39 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon. Since drafting Le'Veon Bell, the Steelers are 11-3 at Heinz Field when he plays, and 0-2 when he doesn't. While Pittsburgh figures to be without one of its top players, Baltimore gets back Haloti Ngata from suspension. That's going to mean trouble for the Steelers' offense. The Ravens have surrendered an average of just 15.7 points per game over their last five games. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is notorious for hanging onto the football too long. Going up against Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, who combined for 29 sacks during the regular season, isn't a recipe for success. The Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their last five playoff games. Take Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 7* NFL ATS Play. |

01-03-15 | Miami Heat v. Houston Rockets OVER 196 | 79-115 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 46 m | Show | |
The Houston Rockets host the Miami Heat on Saturday night. The Rockets have really picked up their play of late, coinciding with the return of Dwight Howard to the team's lineup, allowing them to play at a faster pace without overcompensating at the defensive end. It's paid big dividends a the offensive end of the court. After playing to the under in 13 of 14 home games, the Rockets have played over the number in three of their last four home contests. Looking back at their last six contests, Houston is averaging 105.8 points per game, with the over cashing in five times in those six games. As for Miami, they've stepped up their game at the offensive end of late as well. The Heat have eclipsed the 100-point mark four times in their last seven games. With a finally healthy Dwyane Wade, an offensive uptick can be expected in Miami. The over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams in Houston. Take the OVER.

01-03-15 | Toronto Maple Leafs v. Winnipeg Jets -160 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
Winnipeg ML We don't advocate laying this type of juice too often in the NHL, but in tonight's case, it's absolutely warranted. The regression that we saw coming for the Leafs has arrived. Toronto is no more than a fringe playoff contender, but they were seeing results because of unreal goaltending by Jonathan Bernier. Bernier is no longer playing at an unsustainable level and the Leafs are no longer getting results. Toronto played in Minnesota last night and heads into this one on the tail end of a back-to-back. The Leafs were engaged in a hard fought battle against the Wild until midway through the third period, so we just don't see them having their legs in this contest. As for the Jets, they continue to be undervalued by the oddsmakers. Winnipeg has more depth than Toronto, and they have one of the best kept secrets in hockey with Michael Hutchinson between the pipes. Hutchinson has a .937 save percentage and gives the Jets a chance to win every single times he's between the pipes. The Leafs are just 16-35 in their last 51 road games, and are just 3-7 in their last 10 games where they're playing their fourth game in six nights. The Jets are 7-1 in their last 8 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. Take the Jets. Good Luck, Razor Ray 10* NHL ML TOP PLAY |

01-03-15 | Arizona Cardinals +6.5 v. Carolina Panthers | 16-27 | Loss | -101 | 73 h 2 m | Show | |
The Carolina Panthers host the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals appear to be stumbling into the postseason, but they closed the year against the Seattle Seahawks - the top seed in the NFC - and a 49ers squad that was extra-motivated to give Jim Harbaugh one last hurrah. The Panthers enter the playoffs on a four-game winning streak, but three of those wins came inside the dreadful NFC South, and the other was against a Cleveland Browns team that had all but given up by then. The total in this game is 38, and it's tough to figure out where the Panthers will be able to find this margin in what will be a low-scoring affair. The Cardinals are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games against NFC opponents. Take Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 9* NFL ATS Play. |

01-02-15 | Memphis Grizzlies -4.5 v. Los Angeles Lakers | 109-106 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 28 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. Memphis point guard Mike Conley is playing some of the best basketball of his career at the moment, and shined in the team's last outing, racking up 30 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a win over the San Antonio Spurs. He'll look to continue that solid play in Friday's meeting with the Lakers - a team that the Grizzlies have already beaten twice this season. Taking to the road isn't a problem for Memphis either, as they've won six of their last eight away from home. The Grizzlies hit a bit of a rough patch, but they look to be on the other side of that, and are one of the best teams in basketball. Facing an inferior Lakers team with plenty of rest figures to lead to a fairly one-sided result. The Grizzlies are 19-9-2 ATS in their last 30 games against Pacific Division opponents. Take Memphis.

01-02-15 | Philadelphia Flyers v. Carolina Hurricanes UNDER 5.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
Carolina & Philadelphia under 5.5 The Hurricanes should never see a total of 5.5. Carolina struggles to score on a nightly basis, and they've played over the total in only 10 of their 37 games this season. Carolina hasn't scored more than two goals in a game since December 18th against the Leafs, and prior to that, they played five straight games where they scored exactly one goal. The Flyers' defense isn't exactly a strong unit, but they held the Canes to just one goal on 26 shots earlier this season, so they've already proven to be able to shut down Carolina. Carolina's offensive struggles haven't hurt their defensive game though. The Canes play a stingy brand of hockey, and have allowed just 13 goals in their past seven games. As Philadelphia's lengthy road trip continues to wind down, they'll continue to struggle to find their legs. Expect another low scoring game in Carolina tonight. Take the UNDER.

01-02-15 | Iowa +3.5 v. Tennessee | 28-45 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
Iowa +3.5 The wrong team is favored in the TaxSlayer Bowl. We have difficulty seeing the Vols move the ball on Iowa with any sort of success. Tennessee's offense is as vanilla as it gets, and they're in for a world of hurt against a solid, experienced Hawkeyes D. Iowa allows opposing teams to complete just 52% of their passes, and they'll be able to shut down the Tennessee passing game. To make matters worse for the Vols, their offensive line is horrendous and doesn't stand a chance against Iowa's strong front seven. Iowa's offense isn't anything special, but they boast a strong rushing attack, and their dink-and-dunk passing game has been highly successful this season. The Hawkeyes downhill running game can give the Vols' defense all sorts of trouble, as we've witnessed many times with Tennessee this season. The Hawkeyes have a major edge in the trenches in this one, and we'll gladly get behind them at an underdog price. Take Iowa. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* CFB ATS Play |

01-02-15 | Pittsburgh v. Houston UNDER 54 | 34-35 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 27 m | Show | |
Houston & Pittsburgh under 54 When Houston battles Pittsburgh in the Armed Forces Bowl, both team's defenses will have an edge over the opposing offenses. The Panthers simply can't move the ball through the air, averaging just 183 passing yards per game. Chad Voytik is not a gifted passer and he'll have very little success against an elite Cougars' secondary. Pitt's only chance of moving the ball will be on the ground, but that's not likely to happen either against a Houston defense that yields just 3.5 yards per carry, even with James Conner in the backfield. Pitt doesn't exactly boast a scary defense, but they should be able to exploit Houston's great weakness; their offensive line. The Cougars surrendered 31 sacks this season and Pittsburgh has a solid group of linebackers that is capable of generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Take the UNDER.

Michigan State +3 The Michigan State Spartans have been in this position before. Last year, they were a significant underdog going into the Rose Bowl against Stanford. The Spartans defense won them that game, and there's no reason to believe they can't do the same thing again here. Baylor was in the news for quite a while because of their unhappiness about the CFP rankings. The Bears finished number five, just one spot out of the playoffs. Art Briles was on ESPN and every sports show possible talking about how his team should have made it. Many people like to think this kind of unhappiness leads to a team playing extra motivated in the bowl game to prove a point. This is often not the case. Baylor is just as likely to be disappointed to be here. Â The Bears defense isn't likely to be able to stop Connor Cook and the Spartans much improved offense. Michigan State covers again as an underdog. Take Michigan State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. New Years Day 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Both teams have taken some serious hits to their core defensive players in recent days, and that's going to lead to some points in this one. The Bucks will again be without their top rim-protector in Larry Sanders, who continues to battle an illness. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers were without the likes of LeBron James, Shawn Marion, and of course, Anderson Varejao on Tuesday night. Factor in the tired legs that come with playing on the second night of a back-to-back, and increased roles for defensive black holes like Dion Waiters, Kyrie Irving, and Tristan Thompson, and both sides figures to fill the basket with regularity in this one. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings between these teams. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

Boise State +3.5 At this time of the year, motivation is often a key driving factor in outcomes. Arizona has no incentive to show up here. The Wildcats got destroyed by Oregon in the Pac-12 title game, ending any hopes that they had of possible playoff contention. Meanwhile, Boise State will be ready to go for this contest. The Broncos are often criticized for their lackluster schedule but this is an opportunity to make a statement against a ranked team. The Broncos also pose some major matchup concerns for Arizona. The Wildcats have an abysmal offensive line, surrendering 32 sacks in the regular season. That doesn't bode well for their passing game against a Boise State front seven that's registered 39 sacks this season. Led by linebacker Tanner Vallejo, the Broncos will have their way with Arizona's offensive front. Boise State has won eight straight games, and they've been help to less than 37 points just once since the beginning of October. Arizona's defense leaves much to be desired, ranking no higher than ninth in the Pac-12 in run defense or pass defense. This one has upset written all over it. Take the Broncos.

12-30-14 | Philadelphia 76ers v. Golden State Warriors UNDER 207.5 | 86-126 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 2 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors host the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Points haven't been easy to come by for the 76ers when they've taken to the road this season. In their last road game, the team played well under the number, scoring only 71 points in a road game at Utah. Now they continue their grueling road trip with the California leg, set to take on the Warriors on Tuesday. The young 76ers get this game with two days off prior to the contest, and two days off afterwards. It's difficult to find motivation over the course of a long season. With a young group getting a stretch like this around New Year's, it's difficult to imagine they'll put forth their best effort against a Warriors team that's really stepped up its play at the defensive end. The under is 5-1 in the last six meetings between these teams. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play. |

12-30-14 | Montreal Canadiens v. Florida Panthers -110 | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
Florida ML The Panthers continue to be one of the more undervalued teams in the league. Florida has won four of their last five games, and they've done so against quality opponents, defeating Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Washington in that span. Florida fought from behind to down the Leafs 6-4 on Sunday, and they'll be focused on playing better defense this time out. The Panthers are 7-2 after allowing four or more goals this season. Montreal is averaging just 2.2 goals per game away from home this season, so goals could definitely be tough to come by for the Habs tonight. Montreal has won six of seven, but they continue to do so with smoke and mirrors. The Habs' last two victories have seen them find a way to win despite being outshot 29-19 and 38-21. This type of success is simply unsustainable when you're being vastly outplayed on a nightly basis. Take the Panthers. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NHL ML Play |

The LSU Tigers take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Music City Bowl. While the quarterback situation for the Irish gets all the attention, the Tigers face a lot of uncertainty under center as well. Anthony Jennings has done anything but take a strangle hold on the job after a disappointing season. Meanwhile, the Irish will be throwing out a pair of strong young quarterbacks in this one. Everett Golson endured some turnover troubles in the latter half of the season, but was playing like a Heisman candidate in the early going. The Irish also look to really have something in Malik Zaire, who looked solid in relief of Golson in the regular-season finale against USC. As for the Tigers, building margins wasn't exactly their thing in what was a down year for the program. Four of the team's eight wins were by less than a touchdown, with three of those big gaps being built in cupcake matchups, and the last came against a Kentucky team that went 2-6 in the SEC. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last five bowl games. Take Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 7* NCAAF ATS Play. |

Los Angeles ML The Flames came from behind to knock off the Kings 4-3 last week, but we're not expecting a similar outcome on Monday. Los Angeles is rounding into form. The Kings have won three of four games, with two of those victories coming against two of the better squads in the West; San Jose and Los Angeles. That lone loss came when Los Angeles blew a 3-0 lead to Calgary, and a veteran team like the Kings will be aching to exact revenge. Calgary isn't a very good hockey team. The Flames get outshot consistently, and that's simply not a recipe for success in this league. Calgary has won back-to-back contests but let's not forget that they're not far removed from an eight-game losing streak that saw them score just 13 goals. The Kings are capable of grinding it out on the road and shutting down a Flames team that just can't match the same firepower. Take Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NHL ML Play |

12-29-14 | Texas +7 v. Arkansas | 7-31 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 40 m | Show | |
Texas +7 The 2014 Texas Bowl features two teams that have much different identities than they did a month ago. This was a rebuilding year for the Longhorns, but they didn't quit after a 2-4 start that saw them lose starting quarterback David Ash. This looks like a good matchup for Texas. Arkansas will want to run the ball as much as possible, but the Longhorns' run defense improved mightily as the season went on. Texas allows just 3.9 yards per carry, and DT Malcom Brown emerged as one of the nation's best defenders. Arkansas employs a very conservative game plan. They don't take very many shots, and rely on converting third-and-shorts to keep the chains moving. Texas has one of the nation's best third down defenses, allowing opponents to convert on just 35% of their third down opportunities. The Longhorns' offense can be concerning, but Tyrone Swoopes looked better down the stretch, tossing for 200+ yards in three of Texas' last four games. The Razorbacks' secondary can be exposed, and the Longhorns should also be able to help up Swoopes with a decent running game. Texas averages 148 rushing yards per game. This line is simply too big in a game that is more of a tossup than most people tend to believe. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* CFB ATS Play |

NY Rangers ML The Rangers enter this game having won eight straight games, and we'll gladly back them at a pick'em price tag against one of the league's worst teams. New York opens up a mini two-game road trip, and unlike past years, the Rangers have been able to score with frequency away from home. New York averages 3.0 goals per game on the road, and that's going to be a major issue for a Stars' defense that is abysmal. Dallas is hot as well, having won six of their last eight games, but defense still remains a major issue. The Stars have given up 12 goals in their past four games, but their offense has been able to make up for it. Unfortunately for the Stars, the Rangers play a tight road game that is capable of shutting down the league's best offenses. New York has surrendered just 11 goals in their eight game winning streak. The Rangers knocked off the Stars 3-2 in Dallas last season, and the Stars were a much more complete team at that point. This is a short price tag. Take New York.

Nashville ML The Predators are the Rodney Dangerfield of the NHL; they get no respect. Despite having won 23 of their 34 games this season, the Preds are catching an insane price and we'll gladly back them here. Nashville is a complete hockey team. They can roll four lines, play solid defensively, and they have arguably the league's best goaltender in Pekka Rinne. Nashville historically gives Chicago trouble as well, having won four of their last six games against the Blackhawks. Chicago is undoubtedly a Stanley Cup contender, but they've shown some susceptibility as of late. The Blackhawks have lost two of their last four games, including a 5-1 beatdown at the hands of the Jets. Nashville has a similar makeup to Winnipeg, with numerous skill players and strong goaltending to back it up. The Preds are one of few teams with more wins than losses on the road, and at this price, there's no way we can't take a shot with Nashville. Take the Predators. Good Luck, Razor Ray 6* NHL ML Play |

The Rockets are averaging 105.8 points per game over their last five contests, which is 5.1 points above their season average. Defensively, they've surrendered 104.0 points per game over their last five - 7.2 points above their season average. As for the Wizards, they're perfectly fine picking up the pace themselves. They also don't have any trouble scoring against the Rockets. In two meetings last season, the Wizards averaged 109.5 points. Houston averaged 113.5 points in those games. Another shootout can be expected on Monday. The over is 4-1 in the Rockets' last five games overall. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

The Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. The Packers have been great at home this season, but the shine on their home field has caused this line to get completely out of whack. The team is nothing without its star quarterback, and as he nurses an injury, the team can't be expected to fire on all cylinders. A limited Aaron Rodgers against the Lions' fierce defensive front is hardly a recipe for success. Detroit beat Green Bay handily in the first meeting between the two sides, and while the setting shifts to Lambeau, that may not be enough to expect a 20-point swing in the result. The Packers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. Take Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play. |

12-28-14 | Buffalo Bills v. New England Patriots -5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 6 m | Show | |
The New England Patriots host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. The Patriots may have a top-two seed in the AFC locked up, but the team is still placing a lot of importance on this game, and rightfully so. With the Denver Broncos playing a late-afternoon game, the Patriots will need to win this game to ensure the conference's top seed, and home-field advantage in a potential playoff matchup with the Broncos. In any event, the Patriots haven't taken Week 17 matchups lightly in recent years, even when nothing is on the line. Last year, the team beat these very Bills 34-20 in Week 17. In the year prior, they shut out Miami, 28-0. The year before that, they smashed the Bills, 49-21. And in the year before that, they routed the Dolphins, 38-7. While the Bills have built a reputation as a team that gives New England trouble, the reality is the Patriots have won the last six meetings between these teams by an average margin of 14.9 points, with five of those six wins coming by six or more points. The Bills have enjoyed a nice season, but they still have a long way to go if they hope to keep up with the Patriots. The Patriots are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games in Week 17. Take New England.

12-28-14 | Dallas Cowboys v. Washington Redskins UNDER 49 | 44-17 | Loss | -105 | 51 h 4 m | Show | |
The Washington Redskins host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. The Cowboys are flying high off a dominant win which clinched the NFC East for them, but after pushing running back DeMarco Murray and his injured hand, and leaving quarterback Tony Romo and his injured back out there, this is a week of rest the team desperately needs, so it's difficult to imagine seeing much of the Cowboys' offensive starters in this one. Meanwhile, while the Cowboys look past this matchup, the Redskins are treating it like their Super Bowl, looking to sweep Dallas for the first time in a long time. As Jay Gruden clearly has zero trust in Robert Griffin III, that will mean heavy doses of the running game, which will keep the clock rolling, and precious seconds coming off the clock. Additionally, points haven't exactly been easy to come by when NFC East teams meet up with one another, and this game should be no different. The Cowboys figure to sit their offensive stars early, and the Redskins' offense has been dysfunctional all season. The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams, and it is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings in Washington. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play. |

12-27-14 | Indiana Pacers v. Brooklyn Nets -2 | 110-85 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
The Brooklyn Nets host the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. The Nets are flying high as they have won three games in a row - their longest winning streak of the season. Head coach Lionel Hollins is finally finding rotations that work, and the team is getting healthier. Hollins now has the luxury of sending in guys like Deron Williams and Brook Lopez off the bench, which gives the team a major edge off the bench. The team also has an edge in that they get this game at home. The Nets are an ordinary 4-3 at home in the month of December, but that's far more impressive than Indiana's 4-12 record on the road this season. That number is buoyed by some early-season road victories. The Pacers are 1-7 on the road in the month of December. The Nets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games. Take Brooklyn. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play. |

12-27-14 | Memphis Grizzlies -2.5 v. Miami Heat | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat host the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. The Heat put on a heck of a show on Christmas Day, but they're in for a major letdown here. The team is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games following a win. However, the public only saw the Heat at their best, so this line is completely out of whack with the team set to take on a far superior Grizzlies squad. Meanwhile, Memphis will come to town angry after a tough-luck loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday night. With the Heat down their top big man in Chris Bosh, they'll be in a ton of trouble trying to contain the Grizzlies, which pride themselves on their frontcourt play. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these teams. Take Memphis. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play. |

12-27-14 | Winnipeg Jets +145 v. Minnesota Wild | 4-3 | Win | 145 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Winnipeg ML We rarely look to play against the Wild at home but in this case, we'll make an exception. Minnesota isn't deserving of this price tag against a Winnipeg team that continues to fly under the radar. The Jets enter this game having won three of four, including an impressive 5-1 victory over the Blackhawks. Winnipeg has depth at every position, and now they have some superb goaltending as well, as Michael Hutchinson has proven to be one of the league's top netminders. Hutchinson leads the league in GAA and save percentage. The same cannot be said for Minnesota. The Wild call upon Darcy Kuemper again tonight, and at this point, it's safe to say that Kuemper should be no more than a backup in this league. Minnesota has lost four straight games, allowing 19 goals in the process. In this day and age, goaltending is paramount and the Wild simply don't have it. Take the Jets. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NHL ML Play |

12-27-14 | Penn State +3 v. Boston College | 31-30 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show | |
Penn State +3 The Penn State Nittany Lions are being undervalued here. While we like the job that Steve Addazio has done at Boston College, do keep in mind that the ACC was terrible this year. James Franklin is being underrated as a coach, and the Nittany Lions defense is tremendous. Boston College is the type of team that can be shut down if you stop one player- Tyler Murphy. Penn State has shown their defense can stop some of the best offenses in football. Their performance at home against Ohio State was terrific. The Nittany Lions defense will be ready for this one as well. Penn State is very highly motivated to play in this game. Why? This team hasn't been allowed in a bowl game in quite some time because of sanctions, and they found out during the season this year that they would be bowl eligible. There aren't many things that can fire a team up more than that. Take Penn State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

12-27-14 | Duke +7.5 v. Arizona State | 31-36 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Duke +7.5 The Duke Blue Devils will be the more motivated team in this game, and motivation is everything in bowl season. Coach Cutcliffe has done a tremendous job with this Duke program, but they have yet to win a bowl game under his leadership. They'll be anxious to do that in this contest. What about Arizona State? Why would they be motivated for this game? The Sun Devils were a part of the four-team playoff conversation a few weeks ago, but two late losses has them in a disappointing bowl game. It's hard to imagine they could get too fired up for this one. Duke hasn't won the last two years in their bowl games, but they have played very well in both. They aren't far away, and even if they don't win this one, they should keep it very close. We'll go with the more motivated Blue Devils. Take Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 7* NCAAF ATS Play |

12-27-14 | Virginia Tech +3 v. Cincinnati | 33-17 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech +3 The Virginia Tech Hokies have had about as much of a roller coaster ride this year as any team in the country. With their win over Ohio State in Columbus in September, the Hokies showed they can beat anyone. Their ugly finish to the season has people wondering about this team though. We like getting Bud Foster's defense and lots of time to prepare. Foster is one of the best defensive coordinators in the business. The Hokies secondary is always one of the best in the country, and this year was no different. Gunner Kiel and the Cincinnati Bearcats offense haven't faced a defense all year that gave them the looks that Virginia Tech will on Saturday. Cincinnati's defense was ranked dead last in the country in total defense through the first seven games of the year. They played some terrible offenses down the stretch to make their numbers look better, but this group is bad. Take Virginia Tech. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* NCAAF ATS Play |

12-26-14 | North Carolina State v. Central Florida UNDER 49 | 34-27 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 35 m | Show | |
UCF/NC State under 49 When NC State battles UCF in the St. Petersburg Bowl, we encounter a situation where both defenses have the edge over the opposing offense. The Wolfpack love to run the ball, and they're pretty good at doing so, averaging 5.4 yards per carry this season. NC State will try to impose their will, and all of the heavy running will chew time off the clock. The only problem for the Wolfpack is that the Knights have a very stout D. UCF was fourth in the nation in defensive yards per play and they're extremely physical, so don't expect N.C. State to move the ball consistently. UCF allows just over three yards per carry. On the other side of things, N.C. State certainly isn't known for their defense, but this is a good matchup for them. For starters, UCF's offense isn't very good. But from an X's and O's perspective, the Wolfpack boast a strong defensive line that should be able to get the best of a UCF offensive line that allowed 26 sacks this season. UCF turned the ball over at an alarming rate this season, so we're fully expecting a run heavy game plan from the Knights as well. Oddsmakers have set this total far too high. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* CFB O/U Play |

12-26-14 | Milwaukee Bucks v. Atlanta Hawks OVER 206 | 107-77 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Hawks host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. While there may not be much brand name appeal to this matchup, these are two of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Hawks may not have a player with a name that draws headlines, but all five of the team's starters are averaging double digits in scoring. As for the Bucks, they lost their big-name player in rookie Jabari Parker, but they've kept up their frenetic scoring pace. The team's pace of play ranks inside the top 10 in the NBA, and they get an NBA-best 44.4 points from their bench. Both teams know how to score the basketball, and both figure to break the century mark in a game that should soar comfortably over the number. The over is 21-7-1 in the last 29 meetings between these teams. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-25-14 | Golden State Warriors v. Los Angeles Clippers UNDER 217.5 | 86-100 | Win | 100 | 30 h 50 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers host the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. These teams certainly have the reputation for scoring points, but both have stepped it up at the defensive end this season. The Warriors in particular have done a great job of stifling opponents at the defensive end. They rank inside the top 5 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. However, the public sees the names on the jerseys and expect a high-flying affair, and as such, they've bet up the number, making the play even more attractive. This game will have a playoff-like feel, with both squads competing for the Pacific Division crown. Nothing will come easy. The under is 4-0 in the Warriors' last four games against opponents with a winning percentage above .600. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

12-25-14 | Los Angeles Lakers v. Chicago Bulls UNDER 207.5 | 93-113 | Win | 100 | 27 h 42 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. A dysfunctional Lakers group will arrive in Chicago on Christmas Day. The team played arguably its best game of the season on Tuesday night without Kobe Bryant in the lineup, and now they have him coming back. Kobe is hitting on just 37.7 percent of his shots from the field, and is an albatross for the team's offense right now. Going against a stout Bulls defense, the Lakers figure to struggle to find points. As for the Bulls, scoring points on Christmas Day isn't their thing. Chicago has failed to hit the 100-point mark in four tries on Dec. 25. The under is 6-1 in the Bulls' last seven games against opponents with a losing record. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 8* NBA O/U Play. |

12-25-14 | Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 v. Miami Heat | 91-101 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday evening. The Heat have been absolutely decimated by injuries, and it's showed up in their recent results. The team enters this contest coming off a loss to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers, and this step up in class doesn't seem to be one they're in any position to make. As for the Cavaliers, this game of course marks LeBron James's first game back in Miami since leaving for Cleveland in the summer. The last time King James returned to his former city after leaving in the summer, the result was a 28-point rout. An extra-motivated LeBron, along with A-efforts from Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, who want to show they're the better supporting cast, will mean a one-sided affair in this one. The Heat are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. Take Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play. |
