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 |

12-28-14 | Detroit Lions +7.5 v. Green Bay Packers | 20-30 | Loss | -105 | 54 h 24 m | Show | |
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. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play. |

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 | 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 |

12-24-14 | Fresno State v. Rice -2 | 6-30 | Win | 100 | 149 h 41 m | Show | |
Rice -2 This isn't the same Bulldogs squad from years past. Fresno State was a powerhouse with Derek Carr under center a season ago, but Carr has gone to the pros, and the Bulldogs are a farce. Fresno State finished below .500 this season, requiring an NCAA waiver to become bowl eligible. Rice is by no means an elite squad, but they hold some major edges in this one. The Owls have a balanced offense that is capable of moving the ball through the air or on the ground, and they figure to exploit a Fresno State defense that ranked 108th in the nation this season. Rice loves to run the ball to setup the passing game and that simply doesn't bode well for a Bulldogs defense that gives up a whopping 207 yards per game on the ground. On the other side of the ball, Rice's defensive numbers are nowhere near as bad as they look, because they gave up 76 in a single contest against Louisiana Tech. Fresno State's offensive line is an abomination, having surrendered 26 sacks this season. The Owls have a strong tandem of defensive ends, and they'll make things a mess in the Bulldogs' backfield all night long. Take Rice. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* CFB ATS Play |

12-24-14 | Central Michigan v. Western Kentucky -3 | 48-49 | Loss | -106 | 141 h 43 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky -3 It's no secret that the MAC has been great fade material in Bowl games over the past several seasons, and we don't expect this year to be any different. Central Michigan did not face a single non-MAC bowl qualifier this season, enjoying a breeze of a schedule. Western Kentucky is battled-tested, having faced four non-conference bowl teams, and they finished the regular season strong with four consecutive victories. The Hilltoppers are often considered pretenders for their poor defensive play, but their offense is more than capable of making up for it. Quarterback Brandon Doughty threw for 4,344 yards and 44 touchdown passes, leading the nation in both categories. The Chippewas defense excels against the run but they're questionable in pass coverage, and we simply don't see them slowing down Doughty here. The Toppers also have revenge on their minds, having lost 24-21 to Central Mich in the 2012 Little Caesars Bowl. Western Kentucky was unlucky to lose that game, leading the majority of the way, until the Chippewas returned a blocked punt for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. We're betting that Central Mich doesn't catch those same type of breaks again. Take Western Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* CFB ATS Play |

12-21-14 | Seattle Seahawks -7.5 v. Arizona Cardinals | 35-6 | Win | 100 | 76 h 33 m | Show | |
The Arizona Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in Week 16 of the NFL season. The Cardinals’ quarterback situation has gone from bad to worse. With Carson Palmer already lost for the year, backup Drew Stanton has suffered a knee injury which could keep him out a month. Now Arizona is forced to turn to former sixth-round pick Ryan Lindley. For his career, Lindley has thrown seven interceptions without throwing a touchdown. Now he gets to face the league’s top-ranked pass defense, which is in a groove at the moment. In its last four games, Seattle has surrendered 6.8 points per contest. Not surprisingly, the Seahawks won each of those games by double digits. The Seahawks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games played in the month of December. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 9* Sunday NFL ATS Play. |

12-21-14 | Indianapolis Colts +3 v. Dallas Cowboys | 7-42 | Loss | -102 | 72 h 41 m | Show | |
The Dallas Cowboys host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon in Week 16 of the NFL season. The key cog for the Cowboys this season has been running back DeMarco Murray. He’s been the team’s clear-cut MVP. In addition to churning out big yardage totals week in and week out, Murray has also hidden some of the team’s biggest deficiencies. The team’s defense is terrible, but Murray has kept them on the sideline with clock-killing drives. He’s also help limit Tony Romo’s usage, allowing the veteran quarterback to rest his ailing back. This one figures to turn into a shootout between Romo and Luck, and that’s the kind of game the Cowboys have tried actively to avoid this season. The Colts have struggled when making the step up in class, but the Cowboys’ record belies the current state of the roster. The Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* Sunday NFL ATS Play. |

12-21-14 | Atlanta Falcons +6 v. New Orleans Saints | 30-14 | Win | 100 | 68 h 54 m | Show | |
The New Orleans Saints host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon in Week 16 of the NFL season. The Saints looked like they played well on Monday night, but that really had more to do with the Bears just completely imploding than anything New Orleans did. The Saints haven’t looked right this season, and now they get a divisional rival that has their number. The Saints have just a short week to prepare for this one, and get this game at home, where they have some serious demons to exorcise. New Orleans has lost four in a row at the Superdome, failing to cover the number each time. As for the Falcons, they’ve been far more competitive of late compared with where they were a couple months ago. Over their last seven games, the Falcons have won three, and lost the other four by no more than one score (an average of 4 points). The Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against NFC South opponents. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 7* Sunday NFL ATS Play. |

12-20-14 | South Alabama -3 v. Bowling Green | 28-33 | Loss | -108 | 79 h 6 m | Show | |
South Alabama -3 The South Alabama Jaguars essentially get a home game as they play this weekend in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. The game is being played in Montgomery, Alabama. Bowling Green will be a long way away from home, and the fans here will be primarily cheering for the Jaguars. South Alabama is in a unique spot here. The Jaguars are looking for the first bowl win in program history. That is something that can really motivate players this time of the year. South Alabama has made the transition to FBS very well, and that tells me they have a very good coach in Joey Jones. Bowling Green has a first-year coach in Dino Babers and the Falcons have regressed from last year. The defense was the best in the league last year, and this year they couldn't stop anyone. Bowling Green comes into this game having lost their last three games. They have been dominated in their last two contests. We're not sure Bowling Green can get too motivated for this game, while there are plenty of reasons to see South Alabama wanting this game badly. The Jaguars get it done in front of a friendly crowd. Take South Alabama. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play |

12-20-14 | San Diego Chargers v. San Francisco 49ers UNDER 41 | 38-35 | Loss | -108 | 52 h 3 m | Show | |
The San Diego Chargers host the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night in Week 16 of the NFL season. A couple of interesting situations with both offenses entering this one. The 49ers have been in major regression mode in recent weeks, and their offense has been the biggest culprit. San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick has looked lost, failing to throw for 200 yards in each of the last three weeks. He won’t get much help moving the ball from a banged up backfield that saw both Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde get hurt last weekend. As for the Chargers, reports have surfaced that quarterback Philip Rivers is dealing with a serious back injury, which certainly explains his poor play of late. The Chargers are going to continue protecting him the best they can, which means heavy doses of the run game to keep the clock ticking away. The under is 5-0 in the 49ers’ last five home games. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* Saturday NFL O/U Play. |
|||||||
12-20-14 | Utah v. Colorado State UNDER 57.5 | 45-10 | Win | 100 | 73 h 15 m | Show | |
Colorado State & Utah Under 57.5 Everyone is talking about Colorado State's offense here, but we give the edge to Utah's defense, especially with two full weeks to prepare for this contest. The Utes are very physical on the defensive side of the ball. They lead the nation with 52 sacks, and their pressure will make it difficult for a Rams' offense that has been feasting on lesser defenses all season long. Utah is awful on the other side of the ball though. The Utes were dead last in the Pac-12 in total offense, and they don't really have any big play potential on offense. Utah should find some success running the ball against a Rams' defense that gives up 4.7 yards per carry, which will have the clock ticking all afternoon. Colorado State has given up just 13 touchdown passes this season, so they're unlikely to get burned through the air here. We believe this total is simply too high. Both teams would have to score into the upper 20s in this matchup to put the game over the total, and we see both defenses having the edge over the opposing offenses. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NCAA O/U Play |
|||||||
12-20-14 | UTEP +10.5 v. Utah State | 6-21 | Loss | -110 | 84 h 42 m | Show | |
UTEP +10.5 The Utah State Aggies have a very good defense, but there's nothing special about their offense. Utah State is on their third quarterback of the year because the first string and backup are both injured. The Aggies are going to run the ball a lot in this game. UTEP is one of the most improved teams in the nation this year. The Miners went from 2-10 last year to 7-5 and a bowl berth this year. Sean Kugler is doing an amazing job transforming this program that was in a terrible spot when he was given the head coaching job. The posted total for this game sits at 46 points. That tells me that the oddsmakers expect a very low scoring game. Getting 10.5 points in a very low scoring game is really generous. With both teams running the ball and the clock rolling, it shortens the game and should make the score stay closer. UTEP should be particularly motivated here since this is a great opportunity to showcase their improvement and they are playing relatively close to home. Take UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

12-15-14 | New Orleans Saints v. Chicago Bears OVER 54 | 31-15 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 1 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears host the New Orleans Saints on Monday night to cap off the Week 15 slate. The Bears' defense has been absolutely atrocious this season. The team surrendered over 50 points to the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers in consecutive weeks, and while it appeared they were on pace to right the ship after consecutive wins over the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that had more to do with the class of opponents. The unit has since allowed 75 points in back-to-back loss to the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. The Saints' defense hasn't been any better. New Orleans ranks 31st in the league in yards allowed, and has surrendered at least 27 points in five consecutive games. The over has been the play on Monday night this season, and that will be no different with a pair of strong offenses facing off with poor defenses under the lights. The over has cashed in 11 times in 15 true Monday night games this season. The over is 8-2 in the Saints' last 10 games overall. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play. |

12-14-14 | Denver Broncos -4 v. San Diego Chargers | 22-10 | Win | 100 | 79 h 51 m | Show | |
The San Diego Chargers host the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon in Week 15 of the NFL season. The Chargers have been a popular play against the Broncos the last few seasons because they've given Denver more trouble than most, but this line is a dramatic over-adjustment from where it really belongs. The Broncos have won five of the six meetings between these teams in the Peyton Manning era, and each of those wins came by seven or more points. Denver has a bit of trouble on a recent road swing, but they're still one of the three or four best teams in football. Meanwhile, the Chargers had won three in a row on the other side of their bye week, but didn't look impressive in any of those games, and failed to put away a Patriots squad that put up a dud on Sunday night. The Chargers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games, and 0-4 ATS in their last four games. Take Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Sunday NFL ATS Play. |
|||||||
12-14-14 | Washington Redskins v. NY Giants OVER 47 | 13-24 | Loss | -105 | 44 h 34 m | Show | |
The New York Giants host the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon in Week 15 of the NFL season. The last time we saw these teams meet, the Giants torched the Redskins to the tune of 45 points, and the team's passing attack has only gotten better since then. The team is scoring 29.3 points per game over its last three contests, and gets to face a Redskins secondary that has been depleted by injury. As for the Redskins, they're going to have a healthy Colt McCoy under center, and the team's offense has been far better when he plays, compared with what they accomplish with Robert Griffin III taking snaps. Coming off an embarrassing shutout loss against an elite St. Louis Rams defense, the Redskins will have something to prove in this one. The over is 5-2 in the Giants' last seven games overall. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFLÂ O/U Play. |
|||||||
12-08-14 | Atlanta Falcons v. Green Bay Packers OVER 55.5 | 37-43 | Win | 100 | 52 h 32 m | Show | |
The Green Bay Packers host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night to cap off Week 14 of the NFL season. There isn't much that needs to be said about the Packers' offense. Aaron Rodgers has the unit humming right along and scoring points at a prolific rate. When taking the ball at home, the Green Bay offense has been even better. Now they'll face an injury-depleted Falcons defense that has struggled to keep even average opponents from scoring. Atlanta has faced one of the weakest slates of offenses of any team, yet gives up more yards per play than any squad in the league. On the flip side, the Falcons' defense is not to be underestimated either. That group is coming off an impressive outing in which they racked up 500 yards of offense and scored 29 points on Arizona's previously top-ranked scoring defense. Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter put together a near-perfect game plan to make perfect use of his skill position players last weekend. Assuming he crafts a similar game plan to exploit Green Bay's defensive deficiencies - which he figures to have no problem doing with an extra day of prep time, and the litany of additional weaknesses the Packers possess in comparison with the Cardinals - the Falcons will make some noise on their side of the scoreboard as well. The over is 5-1 in the Packers' six home games this season. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Monday NFL O/U Play. |

12-07-14 | NY Giants -1 v. Tennessee Titans | 36-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 41 m | Show | |
The Tennessee Titans host the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon in Week 14 of the NFL season. Both teams enter this game riding an awful losing streak. The Giants have lost seven games in a row, while the Titans have dropped their last six. Since upsetting the Kansas City Chiefs in their season-opener, the Titans have gone 1-10, with that lone win coming at home against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. For all the Giants’ faults, they’ve faced a tough schedule, but get a soft matchup here which should help them ease back into the win column. The Titans’ defense has been abysmal of late. Tennessee has surrendered 40 or more points in each of its last two games, and now fewer than 20 points in their last five. The team was beaten by the Houston Texans in their last game, a 45-21 beat down in which Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 358 yards and six touchdowns. The Titans’ defense ranks 30th in the league in total yards allowed, last in rushing yards allowed, and last in points allowed. Now the team’s offense has taken a hit, with quarterback Zach Mettenberger suffering a Grade 1 AC sprain in his shoulder, and top wideout Kendall Wright hurting his hand at practice. A team that is already short on talent can ill afford to take on injuries to such important players. With the oddsmakers getting this line flat out wrong, and only one side playing for the win, we'll bump this play up to our top rating. The Titans are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 5-15-2 in their last 22 games overall. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 10* NFL ATS Play |

12-07-14 | Houston Texans -6 v. Jacksonville Jaguars | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 56 m | Show | |
The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Houston Texans on Sunday in Week 14 of the NFL season. The Jaguars are coming off a victory, but that was one they didn't earn. The Giants built a 21-0 halftime lead before fumbling the game away. The Texans won't be giving them gifts like that. The Texans' offense really got rolling last weekend when Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for six touchdowns. The return of Arian Foster was also huge for the team, as he churned out 105 total yards and a score in his first game back from injury. The Texans will also pose a major problem for the Jaguars' defense, which has little talent at the skill positions and a rookie quarterback in Blake Bortles who has struggled mightily. Not that unit has to deal with J.J. Watt, who has been brilliant and is earning some MVP chatter. The Jaguars are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

12-04-14 | Central Florida +7 v. East Carolina | 32-30 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
UCF +7 East Carolina is a good football team, but they're still overrated because of their early season success. The Pirates defeated South Carolina, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina in three consecutive weeks, but as the year went on, we realized that all three of those squads are far worse than what we had expected. Since then, ECU has beaten a handful of bad teams while losing at Temple and Cincinnati. UCF is on the other side of the stick. The Knights got off to an awful 0-2 start this season, but have since won nine out of 10, with the lone loss being an unexplainable defeat at UConn. The defense has carried Central Florida and they have what it takes to slow down a potent Pirates' offense. UCF allows just 16.8 points per game, and are ranked fourth in the nation in total yards allowed. Since their loss to Connecticut, they've given up just 14 points in three games. In that same span, sophomore quarterback Justin Holman has completed 51 of 78 passes and thrown for six touchdown passes. The Knights are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games against a team with a winning home record. The Pirates are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a win and 4-15 ATS in their last 19 games against a team with a winning record. Take UCF. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NCAA ATS Play |

12-01-14 | Miami Dolphins -6.5 v. NY Jets | 16-13 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
The New York Jets host the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on Monday night. Not a whole lot went right for the Jets when Geno Smith was under center, but they are going right back to the West Virginia product on this night. The Jets are a woeful 2-9 in a season in which many expected them to make a run at the New England Patriots and the AFC East crown. Worse yet, all but one of those losses came by seven or more points. Looking back at their last six losses, five of them came by 14 or more points, with an average margin of defeat of 19.3 points. It's been a different story for the Dolphins, who have quietly taken care of business since their bye week. Miami is an ordinary 4-3 since its bye, but those three losses came against the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Denver Broncos by a total of 10 points. Meanwhile, the Dolphins won each of their four games by at least 13 points, claiming an average margin of victory of, coincidentally, 19.3 points. The Dolphins have been the far better squad of late, while the Jets are in danger of giving up on their head coach and punting the rest of their season. The Jets are 2-8-1 ATS this season. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-30-14 | Denver Broncos -1.5 v. Kansas City Chiefs | 29-16 | Win | 100 | 98 h 33 m | Show | |
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. The Broncos haven’t been on top of their game in recent weeks, and it starts with a litany of injuries that the team is dealing with on the defensive side of the ball. One constant for the team has been at the quarterback position. Peyton Manning has kept the Broncos’ defense humming along, and that’s all that’s going to matter in this one. The Broncos have had the Chiefs’ number since Manning came to town, going a perfect 5-0 against their divisional rival. The Chiefs went 2-14 in the year prior to Andy Reid’s arrival, and for all the good that he’s done since joining the team, he’s still got a lot of work to do to make the team elite. The Chiefs have beaten up on weaker opponents while struggling to take the step up in class, and the Broncos are certainly in a different weight class at the moment. The Broncos are 4-1 ATS in their last five games in Kansas City. Take Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

11-30-14 | Arizona Cardinals -2.5 v. Atlanta Falcons | 18-29 | Loss | -108 | 93 h 18 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Falcons host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Oddsmakers have been quick to write off the Cardinals after a poor performance by the team’s offense in Seattle last weekend. While Drew Stanton did play poorly in that one, he’s still been able to guide the team to a 3-2 record in his five starts, plus help them to a come-from-behind win over the St. Louis Rams, with the two losses coming on the road against the Broncos and Seahawks. This week, the Cardinals draw a lousy Falcons team that is 4-0 inside the awful NFC South and 0-7 against all other comers. The Cards have really had Matt Ryan’s number over the last two seasons, as Ryan has thrown a whopping nine interceptions with only one touchdown in those two games. The Cardinals are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games. Take Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

11-30-14 | Cincinnati Bengals -3.5 v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 14-13 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 54 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Cincinnati will be playing its third consecutive road game, which is tough, but the Bengals don’t have any room for error after dropping an important home game to the Cleveland Browns a couple of weeks ago. They are the far more talented club in this matchup, and that will show up on the field. Tampa Bay has been a major disappointment on both sides of the ball. The Buccaneers will also be playing with, at best, a limited Lavonte David, who has effectively been their whole defense this season. The Bengals have really stepped up their game of late, and that shows up here. The Buccaneers are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. Take Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play. |

Boston College -11.5 The Boston College Eagles have been playing some terrific football of late. Boston College played Florida State right down to the wire last week. Coach Addazio is doing a great job getting this team to run the football and play good defense. The Syracuse Orange look like a team that is ready to be done with the season. Syracuse opened the season with the goal of getting to a bowl game, but that goal hasn’t been achievable for a long time. The Orange have an offense that can’t score against anyone, and they have a big question mark at the quarterback spot. It’s hard to see Syracuse getting up for this game. On the other hand, Addazio has shown very capable of getting his team up for games, and this is Senior Day for Boston College. Expect the Eagles to win this one going away. Take Boston College.

UCF vs. USF Under 42.5 The UCF Knights and USF Bulls clash Friday in south Florida. These two teams don’t like each other very much, and I think this game could be a little more competitive than most think. I also believe both defenses will show up with a strong effort. UCF’s offense has been really inconsistent all year. While they have looked good in some recent outings, that has been against very bad defenses. Things won’t come as easy this week for Justin Holman and company. The Bulls of USF have struggled to score all year long. They have tried many different quarterbacks and nothing has sparked this offense. The UCF defense is one of the best in the nation numbers wise, and they’ll likely make life very difficult on the Bulls offense throughout this one. I expect a competitive and low scoring game here. Take the under. Good Luck & Happy Thanksgiving to my USA customers, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CFB Totals Play |

11-27-14 | Seattle Seahawks v. San Francisco 49ers -1 | 19-3 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 57 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving Day. Home field advantage has mattered a great deal in this series. Over the last two seasons, the home side has won all five matchups. Home field advantage has mattered a great deal for the Seahawks this season. Seattle is 5-1 at home and 2-3 on the road. Even in their wins, the team covered the spread only once, and they needed a garbage time touchdown to hit that number. They’ve covered the number only once in five road games this season, and only twice in their last five games overall. The Seahawks’ offense has sputtered of late, and that’s going to mean trouble against a 49ers defense that’s got it together. With Marshawn Lynch aching, he won’t be able to bail Seattle out this time. The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Take San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The New Orleans Saints host the Baltimore Ravens at the Superdome on Monday night. Drew Brees and the Saints will surely come out extra-motivated to try and salvage what the closing leg of what has been a disastrous three-game home stand, and that's going to mean a long day for a Ravens defense that hasn't travelled well. While the Ravens' offense has been overshadowed by its division rival from Pittsburgh, Baltimore has eclipsed the 20-point mark in eight of its last nine games, and is tied with New Orleans as the eighth-best scoring offense in the league. While weather is beginning to play a factor in games around the league, that won't be an issue in the cozy confines of the Superdome on Monday night. Expect a shootout to break out in a game between teams that are desperate for a win. The over is 9-3 in Monday night games this season. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 9* NFL O/U Play |

San Diego -5 Both of these teams are trending in opposite directions and that allows us to grab a very favorable price with San Diego here. The Rams are coming off of a huge upset over the Broncos. St. Louis has pulled off two other big upsets this season, against the Seahawks and 49ers. The Rams followed up both of those victories with 17+ point losses. St. Louis has been hearing about how good they are all week and we believe they'll be in a major flat spot here. As for the Chargers, it's no secret that they have played poorly since their 5-0 start to the season. San Diego is getting healthier though, having gotten a number of defensive starters and running back Ryan Mathews back in the lineup. Philip Rivers is suffering from a rib injury but the Chargers dink-and-dunk offense is the type of offense that gives the Rams fits, as their pass rush isn't able to get anything going. This is a simple case of buy low, sell high. Take the Chargers. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-23-14 | Cleveland Browns +3 v. Atlanta Falcons | 26-24 | Win | 100 | 25 h 34 m | Show | |
Cleveland +3 Last week's results allow us to grab a favorable line with the Browns this weekend. Cleveland didn't look very good against Houston last week, but the Texans defense put up a resistance that the Falcons defense simply cannot match. Atlanta is a bad football team. They may be atop the awful NFC South, but they're just 4-17 in their last 21 games against teams that aren't the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons offensive line is in shambles, and subsequently, Matt Ryan has looked average since Week 5. The Browns weakness on defense is their run stopping, but that won't play a factor here as Atlanta is unable to run the ball. With the release of running back Ben Tate, Cleveland now has a two-headed rushing monster that's capable of picking up chunks of yardage against this non-existent Falcons defense. That will allow Brian Hoyer to work out of comfortable situations against a team that has no pass rush whatsoever. The three points are a gift. Take the Browns. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* NFL ATS Play |

11-22-14 | Oregon State v. Washington -6 | 13-37 | Win | 100 | 44 h 33 m | Show | |
Washington -6 The Washington Huskies have caught Oregon State at the right time. Oregon State is coming off an amazing upset at home over the sixth ranked Arizona State Sun Devils. Oregon State is riding high from that win, and this is the perfect spot for them to experience a letdown. Remember, this Beavers team isn’t very good to start with. They have been beaten badly on the road multiple times this year. Washington played an extremely good game last week at Arizona. They outgained the Wildcats by a large margin, and the Huskies should have won the game. Though they didn’t win, I think they can use that game as a confidence builder. Remember, Washington has a great home field advantage. This Huskies defense has been very good all year, and Sean Mannion doesn’t have enough weapons around him this year. This is a good price on the home team. Take Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAF ATS Play |

11-22-14 | Vanderbilt +31 v. Mississippi State | 0-51 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 48 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +31 The Mississippi State Bulldogs host the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday afternoon. Mississippi State is coming off a 25-20 loss to Alabama, while Vanderbilt fell to Florida its last time out, 34-10. Mississippi State was dealt a devastating blow in Tuscaloosa last weekend, and may have trouble getting back up for this one after having their playoff hopes dashed. The Bulldogs have already been guilty of playing down to opponents this season. Now they get this game in advance of their biggest game of the season - the Egg Bowl at Ole Miss next Saturday. It's tough to imagine Dan Mullen's squad doing anything other than getting the win and getting out of town - they won't be concerned with building up a margin here. As for Vanderbilt, Derek Mason's Commodores have really come along as the season has progressed, and deserve more respect than a 30-point margin. They've covered the number in five of their last six games as underdogs, giving the big dogs a run for their money. The Commodores are 6-0 ATS in their last six road games. Take Vanderbilt.

Washington State +16 The Arizona State Sun Devils host the Washington State Cougars on Saturday afternoon. Arizona State fell to Oregon State in its last game, 35-27, while Washington State beat Oregon State its last time out, 39-32. The Cougars were effectively left for dead when quarterback Connor Halliday was lost for the year. Instead, Luke Falk has stepped in and the team hasn't missed a beat. Falk is coming off a brilliant performance against the Beavers in which he threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns without an interception. While Washington State is flying high, Arizona State will have a tough time getting up for this one after having their playoff hopes dashed a week ago in a shocking loss at Oregon State. The team was also dealt a blow with wide receiver Jaelen Strong suffering a head injury. He may miss this game. Quarterback Taylor Kelly also showed some effects of the foot surgery he underwent earlier in the year. Arizona State isn't in great shape right now, but the oddsmakers haven't adjusted. The Cougars are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Take Washington State. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* CFB ATS Play |

UAB +20 The UAB Blazers host the Marshall Thundering Herd on Saturday afternoon. UAB is coming off a 40-24 loss to Louisiana Tech, while Marshall beat Rice 41-14 their last time out. Marshall is beginning to feel the pressure as the season winds down and they look to close out an undefeated season. Having to take to the road for this one, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Thundering Herd hit a bit of a stumbling block in Birmingham. The line in this one is heavily inflated as bettors have been cashing tickets on Marshall with regularity, so oddsmakers have been bumping up the lines, and now it's gone to far. UAB didn't put forth a great effort in their last game, but they were surely guilty of looking ahead in that one. This time around, they'll be throwing everything they've got at the Thundering Herd in hopes of putting on a good show for the home crowd in their final home game of the season. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these teams. Take UAB. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* CFB ATS Play |

11-16-14 | Detroit Lions v. Arizona Cardinals UNDER 41.5 | 6-14 | Win | 100 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
Arizona & Detroit under 41.5 With the Cardinals losing Carson Palmer for the season a week ago, the spotlight has been on the offenses in this matchup, but the real headlines will be made by a pair of underrated defenses which will be facing off for the first time this season. The Lions have the best defensive front in football. The team’s front four has been living in opposing backfields, as Jim Schwartz-coached units have been known to do. The team has been brilliant against the run, and that’s going to cause a litany of problems for a Cardinals squad that will trot out Drew Stanton in this one. Stanton’s accurate throw percentage is just a shade above 60 percent, and by far the lowest in the league among passers with at least 50 attempts on the season. On the other side, the Lions will meet their match on Sunday against a Cardinals’ secondary that has been terrific against the pass this season, thanks to the stellar play of the team’s top two cornerbacks – Patrick Peterson and Antonio Cromartie. Neither side figures to accomplish much offensively in this one, which makes the under the play in what figures to be a low-scoring battle in a playoff-like atmosphere. The under is 5-0 in the Lions’ last five road games. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* Play |

Washington & Tampa Bay over 45.5 Both of these teams had been expected to compete for the lead in their respective divisions before the season began, but neither has enjoyed much success this year. A big reason for that has been the play of both defenses. Neither side has had much success at stopping opponents from moving the ball and racking up yards and points. Conversely, both offenses are trending in the right direction. Buccaneers quarterback Josh McCown returned to the Tampa Bay lineup last weekend and had his best game of the year, throwing for 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons, though he does continue to be plagued by turnovers, throwing two interceptions – he’s thrown at least one interception in every game with the Bucs. Rookie wide receiver Mike Evans is emerging as a viable pass-catcher, bringing in seven balls for 125 yards and a score against the Falcons. Robert Griffin III returned to the Redskins’ lineup a week ago as well, throwing for 251 yards and a score with an interception, adding 24 rushing yards. Both offenses are functioning efficiently, and neither defense can do much to stop them. With a middling total put in place, we’re happy to get in on the over. The over is 4-1 in the Buccaneers’ last five road games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

UTEP -6.5 The UTEP Miners are one of the most improved teams in the country. You have to be impressed with the job that Sean Kugler has done here. He has turned around a program that looked destined to be a cellar dweller for many years. How has UTEP turned things around? Kugler installed a power running attack and emphasized strength in the trenches. It is definitely working. UTEP has a star sophomore running back in Aaron Jones. While Jones is listed as questionable on the injury report, based on reports from writers in the area it sounds like he will play. With him healthy, UTEP is a totally different team. North Texas isn’t the same team they were last season. North Texas is struggling in the trenches, and they don’t have a reliable quarterback or running back. The Mean Green are quite frankly just very undermanned right now. They have a good coach, but until they get some more talent here, they aren’t good enough. UTEP is still seen by many as a bottom of the barrel type team. When you play out west in a small conference you aren’t going to attract attention very fast. In this case, that’s a good thing, because we get a good number on the much improved home team. Take UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* ATS Play on UTEP -6.5 |

Texas -2.5 The Texas Longhorns are starting to believe in Charlie Strong’s system. Strong has proven in the past he is a good coach, and now with the Longhorns starting to buy into his system it is an intriguing time for the Longhorns. Texas has had talent for a very long time, but they haven’t been able to maximize that talent in recent years. We’re just starting to see signs of the Longhorns changing that, and I think we are plenty early enough here that we can still get value on the Longhorns. The defense has been the most encouraging. Texas has a terrific defensive front, and they are starting to dominate in recent games. Oklahoma State lost a ton of talent from last year. While they looked good in a close game against Florida State, it’s been all downhill from there for the Cowboys. Oklahoma State just isn’t very good this year. The Cowboys are mediocre on defense, and they no longer have the offense that can outscore opponents. Daax Garman isn’t good enough at the quarterback spot. Texas is far more talented than Oklahoma State. The Longhorns have built up some impressive momentum in the last couple weeks. It shouldn’t stop against an overrated Oklahoma State team. Take Texas.

Missouri +4 The Texas A&M Aggies host the Missouri Tigers on Saturday. Texas A&M is coming off a 41-38 win over Auburn, while Missouri beat Kentucky its last time out, 20-10. Missouri has been the forgotten team in the SEC this season. Many college football fans would likely be surprised to learn that the Tigers control their own destiny and only need to win out to qualify for the SEC title game. The Aggies have not looked impressive after what was a hot start, but a closer look at their schedule shows that the team was simply overrated after a win over what we now know is not a good South Carolina team, and the Aggies’ schedule only got softer after that before getting their butts handed to them by the SEC’s elite schools. A fluky win over Auburn against a Tigers team that lost that game more than the Aggies won it helps to get the public back on the Aggies side and allows us to get in on this one at an inflated number. So that’s what we’ll do, backing the favourite at an underdog price. The Tigers are 16-6-1 ATS in their last 23 games overall, while the Aggies are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Take Missouri. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

11-15-14 | Utah +7.5 v. Stanford | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 64 h 55 m | Show | |
Utah +7.5 The Utah Utes played better than the final score would indicate last week against the mighty Oregon Ducks. Utah led 7-0 and was about to go up 14-0 when Kaelin Clay decided to drop the football while running in for a touchdown in the first quarter. Instead, Oregon returned it 100 yards for a touchdown and there was an immediate 14 point swing. Utah continued to fight despite falling behind 24-7 in the second quarter of that game. In fact, the Utes trailed only 30-27 with 11 minutes left in the game. Utah eventually ran out of gas in that game, but they showed me a lot in that contest. Stanford has been a disappointment this year. The Cardinal are a totally different team without a running game. They have had Taylor and Gaffney the last few years to be a consistent running power, but this year it is up to Kevin Hogan and the passing attack to lead the way. Hogan hasn’t been able to do that. Utah leads the nation in sacks, and the Utes are going to get pressure on Hogan all game long. While Stanford definitely has a good defense, they aren’t the type of team that can put up a lot of points. Even if Stanford does win, the Cardinal are unlikely to be able to cover more than a touchdown. Take Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

Clemson -2.5 The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets host the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon. Georgia Tech is coming off a 56-23 win over NC State, while Clemson beat Wake Forest 34-20 in its last outing. Clemson has been one of the more underrated teams in the nation this season, winning six straight games since a loss to Florida State. Georgia Tech has feasted on a softer, Coastal Division schedule, but they’ve fallen to Duke and North Carolina the two times the made the step up in class. Now they’ll face their toughest test yet against a Clemson squad that’s beaten them by 16 and 24 points respectively over the last two seasons. The Tigers have the kind of defensive front that gives the Yellow Jackets nightmares. The Clemson defense won’t need to be perfect though, as the Tigers get back freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson to give the team’s offense a boost against a Georgia Tech defense that hasn’t enjoyed much success this season. Clemson is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games at Georgia Tech. Take Clemson. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

Tulsa +21 The UCF Knights aren’t the same team they were last year. Blake Bortles was obviously a major loss as he went on to the NFL, but he isn’t the only guy gone from UCF. They also lost their leading rusher and several key components in the trenches. UCF has been up and down all year. In their last game they were beaten on the road by a very bad UConn Huskies team. UCF needed overtime at home to beat a banged up BYU team on a weeknight earlier this year. While I don’t see Tulsa winning this game, Tulsa is a team that has been competitive this year. They have actually outgained their foes in AAC play this season. Dane Evans leads a pretty solid passing attack. Tulsa hasn’t been blown out very often this year, and this UCF team isn’t the type of team that should be laying this many points against anyone. UCF has a decent defense, and that will likely lead them to a win, but in order to cover more than three touchdowns you have to have an explosive offense. UCF lacks those offensive weapons, and this is likely to be a sloppy game that stays within the number. Take Tulsa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAA ATS Play |

Oakland +11.5 The Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon in Week 10 of the NFL season. Oakland is coming off a 30-24 loss to the Seahawks, while the Broncos dropped their last game to the Patriots, 43-21. It's easy to expect the Broncos to come out and flex their muscles coming off a loss to the Patriots and facing a winless Raiders squad, but the oddsmakers know what's up and that's why this line isn't any higher. Denver has been guilty of letting teams back into games late and no team has been better at pulling off the back door cover than Oakland. In their four games since the bye, the Raiders have lost by three, 11, 10 and six points. The Raiders get this game and one would have to figure they’re going to put everything they have into this game and treat it like their Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the Broncos just want to pick up a victory to get back into the win column and get out of town with another road contest on deck. They won’t be overly concerned with building up a margin in this one. The Broncos are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a loss of more than 14 points. Take Oakland.

NY Jets +6 It's obviously difficult to get behind the Jets given that they've covered the spread just once this season, but we're happy to take advantage of a line that is simply blown way out of proportion. Pittsburgh has looked great in recent weeks, posting three straight victories over good competition in the Texans, Colts, and Ravens. It's important to note that all three of those wins came at home though. The Steelers have a penchant for stinking it up on the road, and we've already seen evidence of that this season when Pittsburgh was stomped by the Browns in Cleveland. Pittsburgh has some major issues on their offensive line, and the Jets' defensive front seven can make things miserable for Ben Roethlisberger. New York has recorded 25 sacks this season, and they should also be able to keep Le'Veon Bell in check, setting up many third-and-longs for the Pittsburgh offense. The Jets offense is also bound to improve under Michael Vick. Last week, New York only mustered 10 points in Kansas City but that was a good Chiefs defense, and this is far from a good Steelers defense. Pittsburgh will be without Ryan Shazier and Troy Polamalu this week, which is a big blow to a defense that was already lacking weapons to begin with. The Jets are fully capable of keeping this game close and possibly even pulling the upset. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

New Orleans -5.5 Make no bones about it, this is a far cry from the 49ers' teams from years past. There are so many issues with San Francisco that it's almost impossible to outline them all right now. San Fran had two weeks to prepare for a home game against a woeful Rams squad last week, and managed to fall 13-10 on their home turf. Things will only get more difficult this week inside the Superdome, against a Saints team that's found their form in recent weeks. New Orleans had finally found a running game with Mark Ingram, and that has allowed for Drew Brees to work the effective play action game. San Francisco's linebacking core is depleted and the Saints should be able to continue right where they left off against the Panthers last week, especially with extra time to prepare. The 49ers' defense isn't the only unit struggling right now. San Fran has averaged just 21 points per game this season and it's become evident that Colin Kaepernick is nothing more than an average quarterback. Opposing defense are keeping contain and forcing Kaep to beat them with his arm, a feat that is a major struggle for the former Nevada product. There are also rumblings that head coach Jim Harbaugh has lost the locker room, and that's a big problem going into one of the most hostile environments in football. Take the Saints.

Steelers vs. Jets Over 47 The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been prolific in the last two weeks. Big Ben has tossed 12 touchdowns in the past two games alone. The New York Jets have a strong defensive front, but their secondary has struggled all season. With the Steelers passing game rolling right along, I don’t see the Jets being able to slow them down in this game. Roethlisberger is so good at keeping the play alive, and the Steelers have so many weapons on the outside. Given extra time, I think the chances are high that they will get some separation. The Jets offense actually outgained Kansas City last week. Mike Vick looked very good in his first start of the year. I think the move to Vick is a significant upgrade for this Jets team. Pittsburgh has been known for their strong defenses in the past, but this Steelers defense isn’t up to par. Pittsburgh has allowed a lot of big plays this year, and Vick still has the ability to make big plays (with his arm or his legs). The weather report looks very favorable in this one with sun and very little winds. Expect some big plays out of both sides. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 6* NFL O/U Play |

11-09-14 | Tennessee Titans +10.5 v. Baltimore Ravens | 7-21 | Loss | -130 | 26 h 48 m | Show | |
Titans +10.5   The Baltimore Ravens are coming off an ugly loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, the Ravens are now dead last in the AFC North. That’s representative of how good the division is more than it is a knock on Baltimore though. While most would see this as a great spot for Baltimore to prove a point, I don’t think that’s the case. The Ravens are a banged up team right now. They have their bye week next weekend. At this point, this Baltimore team is likely just looking forward to their bye week. This is one of those games they just want to get out of with a win. The Titans are coming off a bye week. Zach Mettenberger was inserted as the starter two weeks ago, and he showed promise under center in his first game. Mettenberger has had two weeks to prepare fgor this game, and that should make a big difference for the talented youngster. The Ravens defense has shown that they are far from dominant this season. Tennessee’s defense isn’t all that bad. They have been put in a lot of bad positions so far this season. Baltimore likely wins this game, but I think they’ll be happy to get out with a win rather than running the score up. Grab the double digit points on the dog here. Take Tennessee. |

11-08-14 | Alabama v. LSU UNDER 45 | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 30 h 15 m | Show | |
LSU & Alabama under 45 The LSU Tigers host the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday evening in Week 11 of the college football season. LSU is coming off a 10-7 win over Ole Miss, while Alabama beat Tennessee its last time out, 34-20. LSU’s last game was just what we’ve come to expect from this Tigers team when they face an elite SEC program. Les Miles is completely content to bang his big running backs into the opposing defense for four quarters, hoping that the dam will eventually burst. That’s not going to lead to many points on Saturday. LSU is coming off a low-scoring affair against Ole Miss and the Rebels’ top-ranked scoring defense. Now the nation’s second-best scoring defense comes to town in Alabama. In the last four meetings between these programs, the Tigers are averaging 10.8 points per game. As for the Tide, the Lane Kiffin experiment isn’t working out all that well, as the Alabama offense has struggled this season. Going into Death Valley is a daunting task, particularly at night, and the Tide haven’t shown enough to lead us to believe they have the key to unlock this Tigers defense. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these programs. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

11-08-14 | Air Force -4.5 v. UNLV | 48-21 | Win | 100 | 39 h 38 m | Show | |
Air Force -4.5  The Air Force Falcons are a much better team than they were last year. Air Force runs the football even more effectively now, and they have a much stronger defense in 2014. UNLV is much different than they were last year, but the Rebels have changed for the worse. UNLV surprised everyone by going to a bowl last year, but the Rebels are ineligible this year, and they aren’t any good anyways. UNLV’s rushing defense is one of the five worst in the nation this year. They aren’t getting consistent quarterback play like they did last year either. Blake Decker is promising, but he is still a raw talent. Air Force’s tremendous option attack will test the UNLV rushing defense Saturday. UNLV hasn’t been able to stop the run against hardly anyone this year, so I don’t see them slowing down Air Force. Kale Pearson has played extremely well under center for the Falcons this year. While some may see this as a letdown spot for Air Force after a big win at Army last weekend, I see it as a chance for them to build on the momentum from that road win. Coach Troy Calhoun said before the year that this Air Force team would be much improved from last year, and the team is proving him to be exactly right. Lay the number with Air Force. Take Air Force. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday NCAAF 7* ATS Play |

11-08-14 | Tulane v. Houston -17 | 31-24 | Loss | -115 | 38 h 17 m | Show | |
Houston -17 The Houston Cougars have quietly been taking care of business in the AAC this year. Houston started the season a bit slowly, but there have been a covering machine in conference play. There are a couple key differences for Houston this year as compared to the past. Houston was getting poor quarterback play at the start of the year, so they made a change from John O’Korn to Greg Ward. Ward has played tremendously for the Cougars. Since Ward took over as the starter, the Cougars have covered all three games. They have covered each of those games by at least ten points. The second thing that is different about this Houston team is their defense. The Cougars defense has been a liability in the past, but that definitely isn’t the case this season. In fact, the Cougars defense is the strength of this team. Houston is 14th in the nation in total defense. They are 5th in the nation in points allowed per game at just 16 points per contest. Tulane has a really difficult time getting anything going on offense, and now they are going up against the best defense they have played all year long. The Green Wave are in a lot of trouble here. With no running game at all to keep Houston on their heels, the Cougars pass rush should get to Tanner Lee often. Take Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. |

11-08-14 | West Virginia v. Texas +3.5 | 16-33 | Win | 100 | 26 h 52 m | Show | |
Texas +3.5 The Texas Longhorns host the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday in Week 11 of the college football season. Texas is coming off a 34-13 win over Texas Tech, while West Virginia dropped its last game to TCU, 31-30. The Mountaineers’ last loss is a bad omen for the team as it looks to close out its season. The team suffered a similarly devastating loss a year ago and completely mailed it in the rest of the way. We expect to see that again this year, as this latest loss was particularly messy. With a chance to run out the clock and beat TCU, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen elected to run the ball on seven of the team’s final nine plays in the game, with the team going three-and-out on each of its final three possessions. After the game, Holgorsen went on the offensive regarding quarterback Clint Trickett, which surely didn’t make for a fun week in Morgantown. Now the Mountaineers get an improving Texas squad that’s won two of its last three games, with the lone loss in that time coming to Kansas State. West Virginia is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 conference games. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play. |

11-08-14 | Baylor v. Oklahoma -5 | 48-14 | Loss | -106 | 35 h 41 m | Show | |
Oklahoma -5 The Baylor Bears aren’t the same team they were last year. Bryce Petty isn’t the same quarterback he was last year. He completed well over 60% of his passes last year, and this season he is sitting just below 55% completions. Petty is definitely dinged up, and that makes this offense less dangerous. While Baylor’s offensive numbers still look very impressive, I suggest looking at how they have fared against top defenses this year. Texas is probably the best defense they have played this year, and the Bears scored only 28 points and Petty completed only 7 passes all day long. West Virginia held the Bears to 27 points in their lone loss this season. Oklahoma has a defense that can put pressure on Petty early, and the Sooners are going to have the advantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Baylor is really beat up in the trenches, and that spells trouble for the Bears. Oklahoma was embarrassed last year by Baylor in Waco, and this is a great spot for some quick revenge for the Sooners. Oklahoma has played well in both of their losses this year, and I think they come into this game underrated. Oklahoma is also seeing a lot of sharp money during the week this week. The public is backing Baylor, which makes me feel even more strongly about this play. Take Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday NCAAF 7* ATS Play |

Minnesota pk The Minnesota Golden Gophers host the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday afternoon in Week 11 of the college football season. The Gophers are coming off a 28-24 loss to Illinois, while the Hawkeyes beat up on Northwestern their last time out, 48-7. The Gophers have enjoyed a fine season this year, and that’s in large part thanks to the play of standout running back David Cobb. Cobb ranks sixth in the nation in rushing yards per game at 141.4, churning out at least 180 yards in four of eight games on the season. As for Iowa, the Hawkeyes lean heavily on their passing game, which is of course led by quarterback Jake Rudock. That unit will be in tough against a Golden Gophers secondary that is second in the Big Ten in interceptions. The Golden Gophers look ready to bounce back in this one on their home turf where they are 5-0 this season. Minnesota is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 conference games. Take Minnesota.

11-07-14 | Memphis -7 v. Temple | 16-13 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Memphis -7 The Temple Owls host the Memphis Tigers on Friday night. Temple is coming off a 20-10 upset of East Carolina, while Memphis beat Tulsa a week ago, 40-20. Temple made a lot of noise last weekend when they turned the AAC on its head with a win over East Carolina. That win is all the public is choosing to look at, which allows us to get in at a very favorable line in this one. The Owls may have come up with a victory last weekend, but the rain and sloppy play by the Pirates had more to do with the outcome of that game than anything Temple did. East Carolina fumbled the ball away five times in a game they otherwise dominated, outgaining Temple 428 to 135. Meanwhile, Memphis has been dominating opponents themselves. Outside of a dud against Houston an understandable loss at Ole Miss, and a competitive game at UCLA, Memphis has beaten up on its opponents, winning its other five games by an average margin of 33.4 points. With Temple in a terrible letdown spot, they’re in for trouble on Friday night. The Tigers are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games in the month of November. Take Memphis. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

Ball State +3.5 Ball State enters this contest with a 3-5 record, which doesn't look so hot compared to NIU's 6-2 mark, but there's much less of a discrepancy between these two teams than you would be led to believe. The Cardinals are playing good football, but continue to be valued at the team that struggled to start the season. Ball State's offense has played significantly better in back-to-back victories over Central Mich and Akron, and this team is still motivated to play with an outside chance of catching Toledo in the standings. The Cardinals also rank fourth in the nation in turnover margin, which is a very important factor to us when backing the underdog. As for the Huskies, this is not the same NIU team from years past that was steamrolling MAC foes. Northern Illinois also has a huge game on deck with Toledo next week, and we wouldn't be surprised if they're caught look past what they believe is an inferior opponent. We feel as though an upset is looming on Wednesday night. Take Ball State. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

NY Giants & Indianapolis over 50.5 The New York Giants host the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night to close out Week 9 of the NFL season. The Giants’ issue for the better part of the season has been getting acquainted with new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo’s offensive system after years of working under Kevin Gilbride. Just as it appeared the team was turning a corner, they were dealt a major blow with the loss of top wideout Victor Cruz, and the loss of running back Rashad Jennings. Now coming off their bye, the team had an opportunity to work in their new pieces, including Rueben Randle, and emerging rookies Andre Williams and Odell Beckham Jr. Set to face a Colts defense that figures to again be without top cornerback Vontae Davis after looking completely lost without in allowing Ben Roethlisberger to pile up over 500 yards through the air in a 50-plus point performance, the Giants’ offense looks ready to get back on track. On top of that, the Colts look poised to get their fair share of points as well, as quarterback Andrew Luck has been a world-beater, putting together an MVP-caliber campaign, and now getting to face a Giants secondary that has been exploited by even middling quarterbacks this season. The over is 8-2 in the Colts’ last 10 games overall. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

San Francisco & St. Louis under 44 The San Francisco 49ers host the St. Louis Rams on Sunday afternoon in Week 9 of the NFL season. While many will be quick to write-off the Rams all together after last weekend’s embarrassing performance in Kansas City, it’s important to remember that after Seattle’s CenturyLink Field, Arrowhead is the toughest place to play in football at the moment. The Rams have been far more competitive than that this season, and look ready to get right back to it on Sunday when they face the division rival 49ers. Earlier this season, the Rams were having some serious trouble getting to the quarterback, but they appear to finally be past that, and are causing trouble for opposing offenses with their defensive front once again. On the other side of the ball, the Rams have been content to pound a trio of runners into opposing defenses and let quarterback Austin Davis fill the role of caretaker, leading to many long, clock-killing drives which will only help our cause. As for the 49ers, they haven’t taken the step backward on defense that many had expected, and are playing at a high level on that side of the ball. As for the offense, that unit really struggled in the first half of the last meeting between these teams, and figures to meet some trouble again in this one, which will help keep this one comfortably under the number. The under is 5-2 in the Rams’ last seven road games. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

11-02-14 | Denver Broncos -3 v. New England Patriots | 21-43 | Loss | -115 | 76 h 54 m | Show | |
Denver -3 The New England Patriots host the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon in Week 9 of the NFL season. The Patriots are coming off a 51-23 win over the Bears, while the Broncos beat up on the Chargers in their last game, 35-21. It wasn’t long ago that there was a crisis in Foxborough, after the Patriots got off to a rough stretch of performances to open the season. While the team has since quieted its critics with four consecutive wins, there is still plenty of reason to be concerned about the team when taking a closer look at the quality of opponent they’ve faced in that time. Now set to take a major step up in class against a Broncos team that is the best in football at the moment, New England’s flaws appear ready to go right back on display. The Patriots have again endured some injuries on the defensive side of the ball, starting with middle linebacker Jerod Mayo and defensive end Chandler Jones. Those are a pair of assets the team will desperately miss when they take on a Broncos offense with no shortage of weapons. On the other side of the ball, the Broncos’ defense has finally come together, display the type of strong play that warrants the money that has been committed to the unit. The Patriots’ offense runs through tight end Rob Gronkowski, and it’s important to remember that former Patriots cornerback and current Bronco Aqib Talib shut out Jimmy Graham when assigned to cover him a year ago when New England took on the New Orleans Saints. Talib possesses a level of physicality that is unmatched by others at his position, and he is in a position to take away the Patriots’ top offensive weapon, which figures to leave Tom Brady frustrated once again. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS in their last four games. Take Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

11-02-14 | NY Jets +10 v. Kansas City Chiefs | 10-24 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
New York Jets +10 The New York Jets have actually played really well in most of their games against good teams this year. Remember the Jets playing well against Denver and losing the cover thanks to a pick six as the time ran out? What about the Jets playing New England extremely tough on the road and covering the spread easily. These Jets needed a boost of some kind, and I believe the move to Mike Vick gives them that boost. That’s not to say that I think Vick is a good quarterback now. I do think he’s slightly better than Geno Smith though, and he gives the team a reason to get excited about something. Kansas City can’t be too excited about this game. The Chiefs have been playing extremely well, and have done a nice job getting up for some high quality competition. This is the perfect flat spot game for the Chiefs. Kansas City plays at Buffalo next week in what should be a good game and then they host the defending Super Bowl Champs in two weeks. The Chiefs can probably pick up a win without being all that focused on the Jets here, and I expect them to do just that. The Jets keep it closer as they limit turnovers and play solid defense. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-01-14 | Utah v. Arizona State -6 | 16-19 | Loss | -115 | 35 h 41 m | Show | |
Arizona State -6 Arizona State & Utah is being billed as one of the marquee matchups of Week 10, but we don't think this will live up to the hype at all. The Utes have benefited from some extreme luck this season. Utah has won four of their last five games despite being outgained in every single one of those contests. The Utes now enter this contest off of an upset over USC, and we see them falling flat big time here. Utah has a bad habit of falling behind early and that's simply not a recipe for success on the road against a complete football team. The Sun Devils get better every week. Quarterback Taylor Kelly now has a game under his belt and should get better on a week-to-week basis. Arizona State has more firepower on offense, and their defense has been smothering in recent weeks. The Sun Devils have surrendered just 20 points in their last two contests, and they catch a big break as the Utes have lost WR Dres Anderson for the season with a knee injury. We see the Devils building up an early margin and riding their stout defense to a double-digit victory. Take Arizona State. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

Navy +14 The Navy Midshipmen host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday in Week 10 of the college football season. For Notre Dame, they've had trouble building up margins of late, getting involved in some tight affairs. The Irish's last three games have been decided by a total of 14 points. That's right in line with the matchup these two teams had a year ago, when Notre Dame eked out a 38-34 win over the Midshipmen. Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds accounted for four touchdowns in that game, one through the air and three on the ground. Reynolds missed some time due to injury, but he came back with a vengeance last weekend against San Jose State, rushing for a career-high 251 yards and adding three rushing touchdowns in a 41-31 win. The nation's second-ranked rushing attack churned out 423 yards on the ground against the Spartans. Navy figures to get its yards on the ground again in this one. Navy is 5-0 ATS in its last five games after scoring more than 40 points in its previous game. Take Navy. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

Arkansas +10.5 The Razorbacks have lost 16 straight games to SEC opponents, but to say they've been competitive would be an understatement. Even though Mississippi State is the #1 team in the nation in the polls, there's actually not much separating these two teams. It's no secret that the Razorbacks have a strong ground game, but they should be also be able to throw the ball on a Bulldogs defense that has been less than stellar in pass defense. Kentucky's Patrick Towles three for over 400 yards against Mississippi State a week ago, making him the fourth quarterback to surpass 300+ yards against the Bulldogs this season. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen is playing well, having thrown six touchdowns over the past two games, and maintaining a solid completion rate of over 60% in that span. Mississippi State will try to run the ball on Arkansas, but that's easier said than done. The Razorbacks nearly upset the Crimson Tide a few weeks ago because of the success that they had shutting down the Alabama running game. The Bulldogs have been bullying opposing teams, but that's not going to happen against Arkansas. At the end of the day, this is a winnable game for the Razorbacks, a team that is very hungry for a win in SEC play. We'll gladly take the points. The Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 17-8 in their last 25 games following a win of 20+ points. Take Arkansas. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

Kentucky +8.5 The Kentucky Wildcats have been humbled a bit in the last couple weeks. After an amazing start, the Wildcats have been beaten by LSU in Baton Rouge and then beaten by a couple touchdowns last week by the top ranked team in the nation. Kentucky is still a much improved team over what they have been in the past. The Wildcats defense is no longer a laughing stock, rather they have actually been very good against most opponents. Offensively, Kentucky is starting to recruit much more talented guys who can create some big plays. Overall, Mark Stoops is doing a tremendous job with this program. Missouri has been a major disappointment this year. The Tigers struggled to put away Vanderbilt at home last week. Missouri’s offense has been just awful all year. Maty Mauk looked good last season, but with far less weapons this year he has been wildly inconsistent. The Tigers have virtually no passing game now. Kentucky should force Mauk to beat them with his arm, and I don’t think he can do it. Kentucky nearly won in the Swamp earlier this year, and they covered the spread easily there. The Wildcats should cover the spread, and an outright win shouldn’t come as a big surprise either. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

Boston College +3.5 The Boston College Eagles have played far better than expectations thus far this season. Virginia Tech beat Ohio State in Columbus in week two, and then they haven’t done anything positive ever since. Boston College is playing extremely hard for Coach Steve Addazio. Addazio is a defensive-minded coach, and despite not having a terribly talented roster, Boston College is playing well on defense this year. They do a nice job of staying in their lanes and not making mistakes. Virginia Tech is one of the most injured teams in the nation. The Hokies injury list has nearly 20 players on it this week. That list includes Luther Maddy, who was the team’s best defensive player. He is now out for the season, and the team missed him badly last week against Miami. The Hurricanes rushing attack was dominant in that game. In fact, Virginia Tech allowed more rushing yards in that game than any other game in the history of the program. Virginia Tech’s defense is injured badly, and the offense has been a massive disappointment. Michael Brewer was supposed to be the answer at quarterback, and instead he has just been a turnover machine. The Hokies have no passing game, and the running game is nothing better than mediocre. Boston College should create some problems for the Hokies injury-riddled defense with their running game. Tyler Murphy has been a terrific pickup for the Eagles offense. Grab the points on the underdog. Take Boston College. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play |

Tulsa +24.5 The Tulsa Golden Hurricane aren’t a particularly good team, but they shouldn’t be this big of an underdog in this game. Memphis was a 23 point favorite last week on the road against a hapless SMU team. Memphis is now favored by more than that against Tulsa. Memphis is a quality team, but they aren’t really the type of team I would want to trust too often laying a big number. The Tigers don’t have a good home field advantage, and they aren’t used to being this kind of a large favorite. Tulsa has the fast-paced offense that can move it through the air that you want for the possibility of a backdoor cover. That’s certainly a possibility in a game like this one. Memphis isn’t one to stomp down the gas and win huge, so they are more likely to slow down and just run the clock late. All the while, Tulsa will continue fighting. Memphis has much bigger games on the horizon in Conference USA, and there’s no need for them to win this game big. Tulsa isn’t a good team, but they aren’t a total doormat either. It’s not a pretty pick, but I do think the underdog is the way to go. Take Tulsa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NCAAF ATS Play |

Louisville +4.5 The Louisville Cardinals host the Florida State Seminoles on Thursday evening in Week 10 of the college football season. Florida State simply isn't the team we saw dominate its schedule en route to a national championship a year ago. This year, the team's flaws have been on full display, though they've yet to run into an opponent capable of exploiting those issues. That figures to change Thursday night. The Seminoles have been ultra-reliant on the play of quarterback Jameis Winston this season, and he's come through for them with flying colors time and time again. For his career, Winston is 20-0 as a starter, and has been the catalyst in helping the team to a 23-game winning streak - the longest active streak in the nation. On Thursday, Winston will meet his toughest test yet. A year ago, each of Florida State's opponents finished the season outside the top 25 in defensive efficiency on passing plays. This season, every opponent Winston has faced currently ranks outside the top 40. Louisville will be a different animal entirely for Winston and the Seminoles, as the Cardinals lead the nation in defensive efficiency on passing plays. Additionally, from a pure betting perspective, Florida State has been a team to avoid all season. Since 2000, national champions have gone 115-62-5 ATS in the year in which they won their national championship. The following year, defending national champions have gone 76-90-2 ATS. Florida State is 1-6 ATS this season. Take Louisville. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

New Orleans -1.5 The New Orleans Saints have struggled to begin the season and that's created a very reasonable price to back them at on Sunday night. There's no question that the Packers have looked to be the better of these two teams, but there are a lot of factors favoring New Orleans. For starters, they have won 19 consecutive games at home under Sean Payton. At a pick'em price, we'll gladly jump on the back of that stellar trend. New Orleans blew a lead in Detroit last week but that game was promising as people have been slow to catch on to just how good the Lions are this season. The Saints held the lead for the majority of the contest and moved the ball fairly consistently against arguably the league's best defense. That game was on the road, where they historically perform poorly. Now New Orleans gets a Green Bay squad that's being extremely overvalued. The Packers should have lost to the Dolphins in Miami two weeks ago, and as we know, the Dolphins don't have much of a home field advantage. The Packers' two trips out on the road against quality competition this season saw them get ripped apart by the Seahawks and Lions. We think they're in for a major letdown on Sunday night. The Packers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. Take New Orleans.

Kansas City -7 The Kansas City Chiefs host the St. Louis Rams on Sunday afternoon in Week 8 of the NFL season. Kansas City is coming off a 23-20 win over San Diego, while St. Louis Beat Seattle in its last outing, 28-26. The Rams may be coming off a win, but they will be in for a major letdown when they take to the road to go to one of the toughest places to play in Arrowhead Stadium. The Rams pulled out all the stops last week in a game that was effectively their Super Bowl, even going so far as to call two trick plays on special teams. It's hard to imagine a team in what is effectively a throwaway season has the guts to get up the very next week after doing that. As for the Chiefs, they were written off after a season-opening loss to the Titans, but they've handled their business nicely since then, keeping within one score in road trips to Denver and San Francisco and winning their other three games. They have what it takes on defense to limit a poor Rams attack, while the offense will be able to put up points behind another big day from Jamaal Charles. The Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Take Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

10-26-14 | Chicago Bears +7 v. New England Patriots | 23-51 | Loss | -130 | 74 h 10 m | Show | |
Chicago +7 The New England Patriots host the Chicago bears on Sunday. The Patriots are coming off a 27-25 in over the Jets, while the Bears fell to Miami, 27-14. The Bears have been a major disappointment thus far in the season, but there’s reason to expect a turnaround after the team’s big blowout in their locker room following their loss to Miami. That the team is still very much emotionally involved in their season is great news for us. Now that they’re going out on the road, where they’ve actually been better over the last couple of seasons, a return to the win column appears to be in order. As for the Patriots, they’ve been dealt some blows on the defensive side of the ball in recent weeks, so they will have their hands full with a potent Bears offensive attack that can beat you in so many different ways. The Patriots are without run-stuffing ace Jerod Mayo, or top pass-rusher Chandler Jones, which will help the Bears in both facets when trying to move the football. The Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a win. Take Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

10-26-14 | Miami Dolphins v. Jacksonville Jaguars OVER 42 | 27-13 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 25 m | Show | |
Dolphins vs. Jaguars Over 42 The Miami Dolphins offense is starting to come together. Ryan Tannehill has been inconsistent this year, but when playing against poor secondaries he has been able to take advantage of them. The Jaguars secondary isn’t good, and the Dolphins should have a lot of open receivers in this game. Jacksonville’s defense has been good against the run most of the year, but I have a feeling that may change soon. Paul Posluszny is out with an injury and he is the leader of this defense. He has more tackles than anyone else in the NFL since 2008, so that’s a huge hit. Miami should be able to run it. The Jaguars offense is definitely getting better with Blake Bortles under center. Bortles looks like a guy who could be a franchise quarterback for Jacksonville (and they have needed one for a long time). The Jaguars can move it through the air, and this Miami secondary is only average. Both of these teams should have opportunities to score throughout the game, and this posted total is set quite low. The Jaguars defense isn’t as good as they have looked the last couple weeks, but their strong play in those games has given us a nice value on this selection. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

10-25-14 | Ohio State -13.5 v. Penn State | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -106 | 39 h 57 m | Show |
Ohio State -13.5 The Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t the same team they were several weeks ago. It truly is amazing what Urban Meyer is doing with this young talented team. J.T. Barrett looked bad against Virginia Tech several weeks ago, but he looks amazing of late. The Buckeyes have scored 50 points in four straight contests. Ohio State’s uptempo offense is loaded with talented players at the skill positions and the offensive line is coming together very well. The Buckeyes can beat you by running it or throwing it. Penn State’s defense has some pretty decent numbers, but I think it’s been because of the lack of quality offenses they have faced. The Nittany Lions defensive statistics are going to look a whole lot worse on Sunday morning than they do right now. Look for the Buckeyes balanced attack to do a lot of damage here. What about the Penn State offense? Christian Hackenburg isn’t going to have time to throw in this game. The Nittany Lions primary weakness is their offensive line. Ohio State’s strength is their defensive line. Guys like Joey Bosa and Michael Bennett are going to be all over Hackenburg in this one. Penn State wants a big win here, but they are badly outclassed. The Buckeyes need style points. They’ll run it up. Take Ohio State. |

10-25-14 | Mississippi State v. Kentucky +15.5 | 45-31 | Win | 100 | 45 h 20 m | Show | |
Kentucky +15.5 The Kentucky Wildcats host the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon. Kentucky is coming off a 41-3 loss to LSU, while Mississippi State took down Auburn prior to its bye week, winning 38-23. The Bulldogs are surely flying high after taking down some of the toughest teams in not only the SEC, but the country prior to their bye week. They’ve had a week off now to enjoy their accomplishments and it would be shocking if they didn’t come out flat in this one. Head coach Dan Mullen did a great job of getting his team up for that tough stretch of SEC West opponents, but now he has the difficult task of getting his boys up for a game in Lexington. Kentucky may be coming off a blowout loss, but they have taken countless strides in the right directions this season, and head coach Mark Stoops deserves a ton of credit for that. The team may have been guilty of looking ahead last week, knowing that the top-ranked team in the country was coming to town next, and now it’s time for them to make good on that. Kentucky is 4-1 ATS in its last five home games. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

10-25-14 | Oregon State v. Stanford UNDER 42.5 | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 33 m | Show | |
Oregon State vs. Stanford under 42.5 The Oregon State Beavers and Stanford Cardinal have similar problems this season. These are two teams that are lacking play makers on the offensive end. Stanford has lost three games this year. They scored ten points in a loss to USC at home. They put up 14 points in a loss at Notre Dame. They managed only ten points last week against a bad Arizona State. Oregon State has lost only two games, but they put up 23 points in an overtime loss to Utah last week and only 10 points in a loss to USC. It should be noted that they failed to score an offensive touchdown in that USC loss as well. Kevin Hogan is fine at managing an offense, but he isn’t the type of guy you want to rely on to win a bunch of games for you. Without a top notch running back in the backfield, Hogan is struggling this year. Sean Mannion misses Brandin Cooks in a big way. Now he’s also without Storm Woods, who was having a good year at the running back spot for the Beavers. Oregon State and Stanford have two of the better defenses in the Pac-12, and I don’t think either offense will be able to string together long drives. Take the under. |

10-25-14 | Florida Atlantic v. Marshall -28 | 16-35 | Loss | -104 | 34 h 28 m | Show | |
Marshall -28 The Marshall Thundering Herd are 9-0-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Marshall is so much better than the rest of Conference USA that they will have a very hard time losing a game. They aren’t going to lose at home, and this game isn’t going to be close. Rakeem Cato is the leader of a tremendous Marshall offense that will move the ball at will against a Florida Atlantic defense that is one of the worst in the nation statistically. Cato is the perfect quarterback for the type of offense that Marshall runs. He gets rid of the ball quickly and distributes it evenly to his wideouts. He is also backed by an underrated running game. Speaking of underrated things about this Marshall team, the defense is very good too. While the offense gets most of the credit (and they deserve it), this defense is solid. Marshall’s defense was a real problem a couple years ago, and they had to win shootouts then, but that’s no longer the case. Florida Atlantic hasn’t covered a spread away from home this year, and they shouldn’t cover this one either. Marshall will jump out to a big lead right away in this one and coast to victory. Take Marshall. |

10-25-14 | Kent State v. Miami (OH) -6.5 | 3-10 | Win | 100 | 44 h 18 m | Show | |
Miami Ohio -6.5 The Miami University Redhawks host the Kent State Golden Flashes on Saturday afternoon. It’s not often that we see a spread this large in favor of a team that sits at 1-7, but consider that an indicator of how awful Kent State has been this season. The Golden Flashes have had to play without star running back Trayion Durham, and the results have been atrocious. The team is averaging only 15.7 points per game on just 301.9 yards of offense. That’s going to be a problem as the Redhawks figure to score in this one against a Golden Flashes defense that doesn’t offer a lot skill wise. Miami quarterback Andrew Hendrix, a former Notre Dame recruit, has stepped up his game in a big way of late as he continues to get more and more comfortable within the team’s offense. He threw for 346 yards and two touchdowns while also leading the team with 72 rushing yards and an additional three rushing scores last weekend. It’s that kind of production that will help the team build a margin in this one. Kent State is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

10-25-14 | Texas +10 v. Kansas State | 0-23 | Loss | -105 | 42 h 46 m | Show | |
Texas +10 The Kansas State Wildcats host the Texas Longhorns on Saturday afternoon. Despite a rough outing in their last game in which the unit allowed 524 yards to Iowa State, the Texas defense still ranks 10th in the nation in yards allowed per play at 4.5, and are tied for the Big 12 lead in sacks and interceptions. Now they get a Kansas State team that comes to town after a big win over Oklahoma in Norman and figures to be in for a letdown. While the Texas offense continues to struggle when it comes to moving the ball through the air, that unit has been helped out by the team’s rushing attack, which has really stepped up in recent weeks. The Longhorns are averaging 176.3 rushing yards per game over their last three games. Texas has established new season highs in total offense in back-to-back weeks. The Longhorns have scored 74 points over the last two games after scoring 64 in their previous four contests. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings between these programs. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

10-25-14 | Rutgers v. Nebraska -20 | 24-42 | Loss | -100 | 31 h 6 m | Show | |
Nebraska -20 The Rutgers Scarlet Knights were exposed as pretenders last week by the Ohio State Buckeyes. While Nebraska doesn’t have quite the level of talent that Ohio State does, the Cornhuskers do have an even better rushing attack. Rutgers couldn’t slow down Ohio State on the ground, and I don’t see them slowing down Nebraska. Ameer Abdullah is an absolute monster in the backfield for the Cornhuskers. He might be the best active running back in the nation now with Todd Gurley suspended for the current time. Abdullah is the ultimate bruiser who just gets better as the game goes along. Rutgers doesn’t have the front seven to stop him over the course of four quarters. Rutgers’ quarterback Gary Nova has been a turnover machine in the past. While he has done better so far this year, I’m not sure he has totally fixed those problems. Nebraska’s secondary is good, and these are guys who are aggressive in going after the football. Look for Nova to make some key mistakes in this game. Rutgers is getting a rude awakening now that they are playing the top teams in their new conference. After getting run down by Ohio State last week, the Scarlet Knights are in no shape to compete against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers roll. Take Nebraska. Good Luck, Razor Ray |

10-24-14 | Oregon v. California +18 | 59-41 | Push | 0 | 28 h 41 m | Show | |
California +18 The California Golden Bears host the Oregon Ducks in a Pac-12 clash on Friday night. Oregon had a chance to make a run at the top spot in the country after beating Michigan State, but they’ve instead fallen off some since then. The Ducks have had a hard time pulling away from opponents this season, yet even still they’re asked to beat a sneaky good Bears team by three scores. Considering the trouble they’ve had with Pac-12 opponents this season, particularly on the road, it’s tough to understand what the oddsmakers see here. The Ducks’ defense hasn’t travelled well, surrendering 30.5 points per game, and the Bears are certainly no pushover on offense. They have scored at least 50 points three times this season. Cal quarterback Jared Goff owns the second-best passer rating in the Pac-12, throwing 24 touchdowns versus only four interceptions for the season, and has eclipsed the 300-yard passing mark in five straight games. If nothing else, that will keep the possibility of a backdoor cover alive all night. Oregon is 2-6 ATS in its last eight games against Pac-12 opponents. Take California. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

10-24-14 | Troy v. South Alabama -13.5 | 13-27 | Win | 100 | 30 h 46 m | Show | |
South Alabama -13.5 The South Alabama Jaguars are one of the best teams in the Sun Belt Conference. At times this year they have looked like the very best team in the conference. What makes them unique from the average Sun Belt team? They play some solid defense. The Sun Belt is loaded with bad teams that can’t play any defense. Most games in this conference are high scoring and the team that has the ball last wins. South Alabama does things differently. The Jaguars run the football and win with their defense. Troy used to be the best program in the Sun Belt, but the Trojans have fallen on hard times. Troy was obliterated 53-14 last week on their home field by a poor Appalachian State team. Larry Blakeney is resigning as of the end of this season, and it appears this team has given up on him. Troy’s defense is one of the worst in the nation, and the Trojans offense turns it over far too much. South Alabama is a disciplined team, and they are coming off a bad showing where they needed a late comeback to beat lowly Georgia State. The Jaguars come out focused in this rare national television appearance for them. Take South Alabama. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Selection |

10-23-14 | San Diego Chargers +8 v. Denver Broncos | Top | 21-35 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 3 m | Show |
San Diego Chargers +8 The Denver Broncos host the San Diego Chargers on Thursday evening. Denver is coming off a 42-17 win over the 49ers, while San Diego dropped its last game to the Chiefs. Chargers head coach Mike McCoy knows the Broncos offense nearly as well as Peyton Manning does, and while his squad has been able to give Manning and the Broncos trouble in recent meetings, the team just hasn't had the horses in the secondary to really make the most of a solid game plan. With one or both of Brandon Flowers and Jason Verrett in the lineup, the Chargers will go a long way in disrupting the Broncos' offensive attack. With the oddsmakers giving the Broncos far too much credit in this one, we'll gladly bump this play up to our top rating, and run, not walk, to the ticket window to get in on this inflated line. The Chargers are 7-0-4 ATS in their last 11 games in Denver. Take San Diego. Good Luck, Razor Ray 10* Play |

10-20-14 | Houston Texans +3.5 v. Pittsburgh Steelers | 23-30 | Loss | -120 | 119 h 44 m | Show | |
Houston +3.5 The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Houston Texanson Monday night to close out Week 7 of the NFL season. The Steelers have been caught in a downward spiral this season, and it doesn’t appear they have the horses to get themselves out of it. The Steelers have some strong pieces on the offensive side of the ball, but they just haven’t been able to put up numbers for the team on a consistent basis. The team has gotten into the habit of showing up every other week, and while this would figure to be a week in which they’re on, the Texans are a bad drawon Monday night. The Steelers’ biggest problem has been on the defensive side of the ball. That unit has been abysmal this season, and is dealing with a litany of injuries at the moment. That’s going to pose a problem going up against a Texans offense that has the patience to methodically pick them apart with Arian Foster on the ground and Andre Johnson through the air. Even if the Steelers’ offense shows up for this one, they’ll spend too much time on the sidelines to make a difference. The Texans are 5-2 in their last seven games overall. Take Houston.

10-19-14 | NY Giants +7 v. Dallas Cowboys | 21-31 | Loss | -125 | 91 h 43 m | Show | |
NY Giants +7 The Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon in Week 7 of the NFL schedule. The Cowboys are flying high off an impressive win, but expect to see them come out flat in this spot. The Giants are a team that has always had the Cowboys’ number, particularly in Arlington. The Cowboys have also been terrible as favorites in recent years, going 7-24-1 ATS as favorites of three or more points over the last five seasons. As for the Giants, they were embarrassed in front of a national audience in their last game and will surely bring everything they’ve got in this one. The Giants appeared to figure things out in winning three in a row prior to falling flat on their faces a week ago, and there’s no reason to think they won’t have things figured out again by Sunday. They catch a big break as the Cowboys aren’t in great shape this week. Right tackle Doug Free is out, and left tackle Tyron Smith, quarterback Tony Romo, and running back DeMarco Murray each missed practice Wednesday. The Cowboys’ offensive line has been the true key to their success this season, and things should begin to unravel on Sunday with that unit taking a hit. The Giants are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams in Dallas. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

10-19-14 | New Orleans Saints v. Detroit Lions -2.5 | 23-24 | Loss | -110 | 87 h 15 m | Show | |
Detroit -2.5 The Detroit Lions host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 7 of the NFL season. The line in this game is in the pick’em range, but there’s a big gap between these teams at the moment. The Saints have struggled mightily this season, and take to Detroit without their top receiving option as tight end Jimmy Graham is down with an injury. The team has looked dreadful on the road this year, going 0-3 in three road contests. As for the Lions, they’ve turned things around in a big way this season, and it surprisingly starts with their play on defense. The Saints have been dominant against the run, while also performing admirably against the pass, thanks to the pressure the team’s front four has been able to get on opposing quarterback. The team underachieved for years under Jim Schwartz, and we’re now seeing what this roster can do when coached properly. The team’s win over the Vikings could have been by a wider margin if Matt Prater hadn’t missed a pair of field goals. A career 80.8 percent kicker, that shouldn’t be a problem on Sunday. The Saints are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play. |
