Ray Monohan Sports Picks

Montreal -105

The Canadiens are worth the move at this price.

Montreal has played very well in this head to head matchup. 

Going back to the last 25 meetings in this building, the Canadiens have won 17 of those. The Rangers limp in here after a rough start to the season after dropping back to back games to Washington and Dallas.

Some trends to note. Canadiens are 6-2 in their last 8 home games. Canadiens are 10-4 in their last 14 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Montreal.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Boston +105

We're on the Red Sox plus money here. 

Boston feel 5-4 in a game where they led 3-1 last night. Now, they look to send out their most reliable starter in hopes of evening things up.

The Red Sox matchup well with Garcia. He struggled mightily against the White Sox in the ALDS and this Boston lineup is in solid form right now. Expect them to make him work and put a lot of traffic on the bases.

Some trends to note. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 League Championship road games. Red Sox are 12-3 in their last 15 playoff games.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB ML Play

Ole Miss -3

Lane Kiffiin returns to Tennessee bringing his high powered attack in here. Ole Miss won 52-51 last week against Arkansas, as this offense is just so tough to slow down.

The Rebels have covered in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two teams and just have too much firepower. Look for their offense to run up and down on this Tennessee defense.

Some trends to note. Volunteers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Volunteers are 2-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Back Ole Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play

Alabama -17

I would hate to be Mississippi State right now. 

Alabama comes in off an upset loss to Texas A&M last week and you know they're going to be angry. Alabama will see a Bulldogs' defense that ranks 70th in the nation against the pass too. 

Knowing the situation moving forward, this isn't the first time Nick Saban has had a loss and had to impress. He will look to run up the score and now do whatever it takes to make sure the nation knows that Alabama is still the team to beat.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in October. Crimson Tide are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 conference games.

Back Alabama.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY

Purdue vs. Iowa Under 43

This has the makings of a very low scoring game.

Iowa comes in off their biggest win in quite some time as they are poised for a spot in the BCS Playoff as they control their own destiny. With the high of a win over Penn State and now taking on a bit of lesser competition, the Hawkeyes could come out flat in this one. 

As for Purdue, they are upset minded as they had a bye week to prep for this. They have seen the Under hit in all 5 of their games thus far and will look to slow the tempo down here.

Some trends to note. Under is 15-6 in Boilermakers last 21 road games. Under is 13-6-1 in Hawkeyes last 20 games on fieldturf.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB O/U Play

Kent State +7

The Golden Flashes and Broncos clash in a huge MAC game on Saturday.

It's the visitors with the value here.

Kent State's offense is just so explosive and dangerous. They come in after putting up 48 against Buffalo last week as they are now in full swing in Mid American Conference play. These are going to be defenses that just don't match up well with them. 

After Western Michigan had some of their flaws exposed last week against Ball State in a blowout loss, Kent State will have a chance to steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win. Golden Flashes are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 conference games.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

UCF +21.5

UCF with the points on Saturday is worth a move. 

Cincinnati has got themselves into the Top 4 and now all the pressure is on them. Everyone is watching and the target is on their backs. 

UCF has the offensive capabilities to keep this one within the spread. They are averaging 36.8 points per game and rank 21st in the nation in total yardage. While they won't come out of this one victorious, they do have the ability to go toe to toe with this Cinci offense and keep it within the number.

Some trends to note. Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Back UCF.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play
