Cleveland State vs. Kent State Over 133

Cleveland State and Kent State renew their rivalry and the Over here has value to work with. 

These two teams continue to play every year and they typically turn into solid games. Cleveland State has struggled on the defensive end this season and that was shown in their recent loss to Toledo. The Rockets, also out of the MAC, dominated from start to finish. Toledo was able to pretty much do as they pleased on the offensive end and they play a very similar style to Kent State.

The Golden Flashes should be able to attack the rim and find some open shooters, playing a huge hand in this Over.

The Vikings have awoke a bit too as of late, winning 3 straight prior to their loss to Toledo. Still, they've found an offensive groove and they'll be able to run at Kent State's defense that struggles at times. 

Some trends to note.Over is 10-4 in Vikings last 14 overall. Over is 10-3 in Vikings last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play

Penn State +8.5

The Nittany Lions have value grabbing the points. 

Ohio State has taken the college basketball world by storm with their dominant performances thus far into the season. Their latest was on the road in North Carolina and now everyone has their eyes on them.

This is a bit of a letdown spot for them. A noon start after a huge win combined with a Penn State team coming to town that is no pushover by any means.

Penn State comes in 7-1 and this offense has put up some nice numbers thus far. They are averaging 80 points per game through the first 8 and they have shown in the past they can go toe to toe with Ohio State. 

Some trends to note.  Nittany Lions are 18-7-3 ATS in their last 28 road games. Nittany Lions are 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 games overall.

Look for Penn State to slow the game down here and try to knock Ohio State off their element. Combine that with Ohio State maybe overlooking Penn State some after their nice run to start the year and we should be in for a close one throughout. 

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

New York Islanders +132

The Islanders continue to impress and they have value once again on the road in Dallas Saturday.

It's got to the point now you have to consider the Islanders for real with how well they're playing. They continue to come up clutch time and time again and they once again come in off an impressive overtime win against the Golden Knights. 

The Islanders defensively are one of the tops in the NHL and can lean on their defense. They are giving up just 2.4 goals per game, which is 3rd best in the NHL. 

Look for them to fluster this Stars team all night long and really control the possession. New York is one of the best at holding the puck in the offensive zone and not allowing many shots from the opposition.

Some trends to note.  Islanders are 12-1 in their last 13 vs. Central. Islanders are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Memphis vs. Utah Under 215.5

The Grizzlies and Jazz battle on Saturday night with this Under having some nice value.

Neither of these teams really have the offensive firepower to put up some numbers.

We've seen that this season as the Grizzlies are averaging just 108.5 points per game while the Jazz are at 105.7. 

They both love to slow things down and work the clock down, which benefits this Under greatly. Look for both sides to really get into the half court offense and not try to run, especially given the lack of success they've had with transition offense. 

Some trends to note here. Under is 18-8 in the last 26 meetings. Under is 5-2 in Grizzlies last 7 road games.

This will be a very slow paced game with both sides having their issues. While they both put an emphasis on the defensive end, this will be very low scoring in a grind it out kind of game.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play

Hawaii vs. Boise State Over 64

Hawaii and Boise State have value on the Over here.

These two teams met earlier this season and the defenses were essentially non existent. Boise State ran away with a 59-37 win and this one has the makings for a very similar game.

Both of these offenses can score and score very quickly. We've seen it throughout the season both ways as they love to work quickly and take plenty of deep shots down field. Hawaii will score their share of points and the offense knows they do because of how bad the defense has been in 2019. 

Boise State picked apart the Rainbow Warriors safeties in every which way and will have the same success come Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Over is 8-2 in Rainbow Warriors last 10 games as an underdog.. Over is 11-1 in Rainbow Warriors last 12 games as a road underdog of 10.5 or greater.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB O/U Play

Oklahoma -8.5 

The Sooners have value laying the number here.

Oklahoma erased a 28-3 deficit to the Baylor Bears in Waco earlier this season and now the two teams meet again with a lot on the line.

Oklahoma is going to overpower Baylor this time around. There was some kind of halftime adjustment that led to Baylor having absolutely no luck in the 2nd half of their first meeting. The Sooners have too big of an edge coming into this one. 

Look for Oklahoma to use their experience level here too. They are eyeing their 5th straight conference title and have played in the pressure of the Big 12 Championship Game. 

Some trends to note. Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0. Sooners are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in December.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Ohio State -15.5

The Buckeyes have value laying the points here in the Big Ten Championship.

This is a rematch from earlier in the season, when the Buckeyes just throttled the Badgers in Columbus. 

Ohio State is has done that to basically every opponent this season and the 2nd time around here against Wisconsin figures to be the same.

The Badgers run game just doesn't have much against this Buckeyes defense. Ohio State leads the Big 10 and even the nation in almost every defensive category and they particularly frustrated the Badgers earlier this season by putting them in long third down situations. Expect things to be the same once again and Ohio State to get out early. 

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as a favorite.Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in December.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY

LSU -6.5

This number is just too nice to pass up. 

LSU and Georgia look to clinch their spot in the BCS Playoff, but LSU is just going to be too much here.

As the season has gone on, we've seen Georgia really lack any sort of offensive spark. That is not a good sign for them going up against one of the best defenses not just in the SEC, but in the country. LSU swarms to the ball and you won't full them with too many plays.

Combine that with Joe Burrows who is leading this offense to another level and this game has a recipe to be dominated by the Tigers.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.Tigers are 6-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record

Back LSU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play

Cincinnati vs. Memphis Over 57.5

These two teams meet for the 2nd straight week with the conference title now on the line here.

Memphis grabbed a win over Cinci last week to secure home field advantage for this game on Saturday. The total dropped from last week's total after a 34-24 Memphis win, but that final score doesn't indicate the chances both teams had. 

We saw a rapid start to the game and both teams had plenty of chances in their opponent's red zone. Turnovers, turnover on downs, and field goals ultimately led to a bit of a lower scoring affair. That being said, we should see a much more clean game and both playbooks open up with the stakes rising. 

Some trends to note. Over is 8-2 in Bearcats last 10 games in December. Over is 8-2 in Tigers last 10 conference games.

Cincinnati averages 30 points a game, while Memphis is above 41. Expect a shootout here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
