01-07-24 | Vikings v. Lions -3.5 | 20-30 | Win | 100 | 24 h 23 m | Show | |
Lions -3.5 The Vikings (7-9, 7-6-3 ATS, 5-3 AWAY) and Lions (11-5, 11-5 ATS, 5-2 HOME) will face off in Week 18 at Ford Field this Sunday, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. The Vikings suffered a 33-10 loss to the Packers in Week 17, extending their three-game losing streak, while the Lions had a heartbreaking 20-19 defeat against the Cowboys on the road last Saturday, marked by that controversial finish. The Vikings' playoff hopes hinge on specific scenarios: a Packers loss (to the Bears) + Seahawks loss (to the Cardinals) + Buccaneers loss (to the Panthers), or a Packers loss + Seahawks loss + Saints loss (to the Falcons). If there’s ever a team that is going to come out with a ton of fire and looking to take out frustrations, it’s going to be this Lions team. Detroit isn’t going to be shy about what they’re trying to do and that starts from Head Coach Dan Campbell. He’s been very vocal throughout the week about how he intends to play all his guys and will look to make a statement. The Lions have been firing away offensively all season long. They aren’t shy about taking shots deep and it’s led them to averaging 27 ppg. They put nearly 400 yards per game and they can attack in so many different ways. They catch the Vikings who come in with very little confidence. Minnesota was throttled at home against the Packers, marking their third straight loss. They’re all but out of the playoffs unless they got a lot of help and the morale has to be down here. Detroit will look to get the ball to their playmakers and should pick apart this Minnesota defense that struggled with the Packers last week. Detroit’s offense is a few steps above the Packers on the offensive side, which bodes so well for the Lions. Trends, Vikings 1-5 SU L6, 0-6 ATS L6 vs. DET, and 3-7 ATS L10 vs. NFC North teams. On the other side, DET 4-1 ATS L5, 13-5 SU L18, 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 13-5 SU L18 vs. NFC teams. I just can't see a Nick Mullens quarterbacked team giving the Lions any problems in this one. I'm backing Detroit ATS. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

01-06-24 | Texans -120 v. Colts | 23-19 | Win | 100 | 79 h 49 m | Show | |
Texans -120 In Week 18, the (9-7) Texans take on the (9-7) Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN, on Saturday, at 8:15pm ET. Opening odds had the Colts favored by a slim -1 point spread, with ML odds of -116, while the Texans have odds of -105. The game's betting total is set at 47.5 points, promising an intriguing NFL showdown between these closely matched teams. The Colts have a chance to win their division if they beat the Texans and the Jaguars lose. The Texans, with a 9-7 record, got stronger with C.J. Stroud back, and they could win the division if they beat the Colts, and just in the nick of time their D is looking better too. (13th in NFL allowing 20 PPG) Whichever you find the cheaper juice is your play. Either Houston PK -120 odds, or just -120 on the ML. Your call. The line has moved in our favor and the value is on HOUSTON. Houston has just been a totally different team when he is out there. The Texans saw Stroud return last week and the team had far more energy than they did in the previous week against Cleveland when he was out. Stroud has thrown for 3,844 yards to go along with 21 touchdowns. Ball security has been a huge piece for him as well, as he’s only thrown 5 interceptions here in the campaign. The Texans have far more playmakers than the Colts. Indy is leaning on Minshew, who has been up and down all season long. He’s going up against a Texans defense that has allowed just 20.9 ppg. This defense will pin their ears back and look to put a ton of pressure in the backfield. They’re going to force the Colts to throw the ball and not allow Taylor to get anything going. Look for this defense to produce some turnovers, while Stroud sustain drives and has this offense rolling. Stroud and Collins (1,102 yards, 7 touchdowns) are one of the most dangerous combos in the league. We’re taking the team with better playmakers and more confidence coming into Saturday. Trends, HOU are 6-3 SU L9, 7-3 ATS L10 on the road, and 6-3 ATS L9 vs. AFC teams. Indy are 6-13 L19 vs. AFC south teams, and 0-5 in their L5 games in JAN. With everything on the line here Saturday, we’re backing CJ Stroud and the Texans. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NFL ML Play |

01-06-24 | Ohio State v. Indiana +1.5 | 65-71 | Win | 100 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
Indiana +1.5 8pm ET from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN, it's the (11-2, 0-1 AWAY, 5-8 ATS) Ohio State Buckeyes taking on the (10-4, 6-7-1 ATS, 7-1 HOME) Indiana Hoosiers. The Hoosiers have the value here, grabbing points at home. This one headlines the night slate and this is always a tough place to play. Indiana has gone 7-1 in home situations with the lone loss coming by 4 to Kansas earlier this season. The Hoosiers are always notorious for being a tough team to crack at home in general and this place will be rocking on Saturday night. Indiana has shot the ball as well as anyone coming into play. They rank in the top tier in field goal percentage, shooting at a 49.2% clip. The Hoosiers are the kind of team that can get hot and come at you in flurries. Ohio State hasn't done well this season against teams that play like Indiana. Texas A&M is a prime example as the Buckeyes simply were struggling with the physical play and high pressure. This Hoosiers defense will be up to the task and make things extremely tough on the Buckeyes shooters. We're backing Indiana who will have all the energy in the world in this one and look to come out with some fire after falling to Nebraska on the road last time out. Indiana and home court is the move here. Trends, OST 2-5 ATS L7, 0-10 SU L10 on the road, and 1-7 ATS L8 vs. Indiana on the road. IND 6-3 ATS L9, 10-4 SU L14, 8-1 SU L9 at home. You know what to do.

01-06-24 | Celtics v. Pacers +6.5 | 118-101 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 40 m | Show | |
Pacers +6.5 The Pacers (20-14, 20-14 ATS) are set to host the Celtics (27-7, 17-15-2 ATS, 6-9-2 ATS on the road) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this Saturday, with the game kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. For the opening odds, the Moneyline (ML) stands at Celtics -225 and Pacers +180. In terms of the Against the Spread (ATS) line, the Celtics are favored by -5.5 (-115). The total Over/Under (O/U) has been set at 247.5. In the 2023/24 season series so far, the teams are tied 1-1. The Pacers secured a 122-112 win against the Celtics in their previous home game. Notably, Indiana is coming off an impressive 150-116 win against the Hawks last night. Haliburton of course, led the way. He went off and grabbed 18 assists (we had the OVER prop), 10 points and 8 rebounds. Indiana has shown its strength by covering the spread in the L6 games and extending that streak to 3 straight games as a dog. They're getting great looks, and many guys are chipping in. Myles Turner led the way for Indiana last night, 27 points, while Mathurin chipped in with 18. Additionally, Brown added 17, and Nesmith contributed 15. Celtics have to travel to Indiana for the 2nd leg of a B2B, that's not ideal no matter how you slice it. The Celtics dominated the Jazz, securing a 126-97 victory on Friday while covering as 14-point home favs. Boston has won 7 of their L8. They led by 36 in the second quarter and rested starters as much as they could. G1 Celts 144-104 (Nov 1), G2 Pacers 122-112 (Dec 4). These two go at it again on Monday in Indiana. Trends, Boston are 2-5 ATS in their L7 against Indiana, and they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 played in JAN. On the other side, INDIANA are 6-0 ATS in their L6, 6-0 SU L6, and they're 5-0 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams. I'm grabbing the points with the home dog in this one. Grab the Pacers +6.5. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-06-24 | Wild v. Blue Jackets +112 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 14 m | Show | |
Blue Jackets +114 Probable Goalies: Fleury (6-8-2, 3.09 GAA, 0.896 SV%) vs. Tarasov (2-2-1 3.55 GAA, .895 SV%) The Wild and Blue Jackets meet at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH Saturday at 7:00pm ET, on ESPN+. Columbus is 13-19-8 (8-11-3 HOME). In recent games, Minnesota 16-17-4 (6-10-2 AWAY) lost 4-1 at home to the Lightning on Jan. 4th, while Columbus won 3-2 in a shootout against the Flyers on the same day, sealing the victory 1-0 in the shootout. In the recent game against Phili on Thursday, Tarasov had an outstanding performance in net, with 39 saves and 3 more in the shootout, led the Blue Jackets to a 3-2 victory. Despite struggling earlier in the season with 13 goals allowed in his first 3 games, Tarasov has now stopped 78 of the last 83 shots in his last 2 games. As you know I like to play against Fleury when I can. He's old! (LOL) Fleury, facing a challenge in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay with 26 saves, struggled as Minnesota missed key players like Kaprizov, Zuccarello, Brodin, and Spurgeon. Despite three consecutive losses, Fleury conceded just 8 goals (I guess that's a bright spot) but on Saturday they're running into a hot netminder, and a much healthier team. Check Minnesota's injury reports before deciding on this game. Saturday's matchup marks the second encounter of the season between these teams, with the Blue Jackets securing a 5-4 overtime victory in their previous meeting. In their last 10 games, the Blue Jackets have looked better, boasting a 4-3-3 record. They average 3.5 goals and 6.1 asst. while only incurring 3.4 penalties, conceding 3.9 GPG. Meanwhile, the Wild hold a 5-5-0 record, averaging 2.7 GPG and 4.4 asst. but dealing with 4.7 penalties. Defensively, they allow 2.8 GPG. The Blue Jackets appear stronger in recent performances. Trends, Minnesota are 1-4 SU in their L5, and 6-14 SU L20 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NHL ML Play |

01-06-24 | Canucks v. Devils OVER 6.5 | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 15 m | Show | |
OVER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Demko (18-8-1, 2.47 GAA, 0.918 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Vanecek (13-7-1, 3.34 GAA, 0.883 SV%) or Daws (2-0, 2.52 GAA, .906 SV%) Saturday at 7:07 ET from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ it's the (24-11-3, 10-7-2 AWAY) 1st in the Pacific Vancouver Canucks taking on the (20-14-2, 8-8-2 HOME) New Jersey Devils (5th in the MET). Devils on the second night of a back to back so we likely won't see Vanecek, unless he comes out of Friday's game vs. Chicago feeling good. (Currently 1-0 CHI after 1) If Daws starts both his games have gone OVER. No matter which goalie is in for this one for either team I'm expecting the same result. An offensive game keeping the fans on the edge of their seats. Nucks #1 in GPG, SHOT % can score with anyone. The Devils #6 in GPG and #5 in SHOT % can as well. Devils and Canucks both Top 10 on the PP. The Devils games have gone OVER the total 9 out of the L9 games. Those 4 games have seen a total of 7, 7, 7, 9, 7, 10, 9, 7, and 8 goals in each. The last time these two met we saw 11 goals scored in a 6-5 thriller in Vancouver exactly 1 month ago. 4 of Vancouver's L5 games have gone OVER the total. Those 4 games have seen a total of 9, 7, 2, 7, and 8 goals in each. Why do we have any other reason than to think this game follows along the same trends. ON Road VAN OVER is 12-5-2. AT HOME NJ O/U is 11-6-1. GOALS and more GOALS. I'm on the over in this one. Trends, Over is 3-0-1 in Devils L8 overall, 6-1 in Canucks L7. Devils 23-12-1 to the OVER this year. Vancouver 22-14-2 to the OVER. OVER OVER OVER! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play |

Nova -4.5 1pm ET on Saturday from Finneran Pavilion in Villanova, PA its St. John's (10-4, 1-1 AWAY, 8-6 ATS) taking on Villanova (10-4, 5-1 HOME, 8-6 ATS). We see two teams who have started to find their groove here as of late. We're taking Villanova as they have started to figure things out more and they have the home crowd energy behind them. Nova has won 4 straight games and some of these have been very impressive. They took down Depaul and Creighton on the road, with wins over tough UCLA and Xavier teams to go along with those. Villanova is doing just about everything right on both ends of the floor. They're locking down defensively and getting key stops when they need them. Coming into play, Villanova is allowing just 63.6 PPG, which is one of the best marks in the entire nation. they have put the clamps down during this recent run as well and they're going to put a ton of pressure on this St. Johns side. The Red Storm have struggled in this head to head series too. Coming into this one, the Wildcats have cashed in 6 straight meetings. St. Johns lacks a spark and they're not going to be able to overcome this Villanova high pressure defense. Trends, St. John's are 0-6 SU in their L6 Saturday games on the road. Nova are 4-1 SU L5, 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 13-7 SU L20 Saturday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-05-24 | Grizzlies v. Lakers -4 | 127-113 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
Lakers -4 The Lakers (18-18, 12-5 HOME, 16-20 ATS) our looking to end their 3-game losing streak on Friday night as they take on the Grizzlies (11-23, 8-10, 13-21 ATS) at 10pm ET on Friday at Crypto.com Arena. Watch it on ESPN. The Lakers are favored by 4.5, and the total points O/U is 228.5. Memphis has been a fade this year overall. This team has struggled, even with Morant back in the lineup. They come in off a loss to the Raptors and their only win out of their last 5 games came against a lowly San Antonio team. They’ve struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm not just as of late, but throughout the entire season. They’ve put up just 106 ppg, which is one of the worst in the NBA and their issues have stemmed from both inside and behind the arc. Memphis is onto shooting as a team 43%, while they’re allowing the opposition to shoot at a near 47% clip. The Lakers have played much better at home and they’re going to overwhelm this Memphis side on Friday. The Lakers have been inconsistent themselves this season, but they still have the playmakers that can step up any night. Lebron has rarely missed time and he’s playing at such a high level right now. The F Is averaging 25-7-7 and he’s been the catalyst to when this team is successful. Davis has averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds himself as these two continue to produce big numbers. If the supporting cast can step up Friday night, the Lakers should be in for a huge night. Grizzlies are 5-3 with Morant back in the lineup. 1-3 L4. Lakers have lost 3 in a row. 3-9 since winning the IST. The last time these two teams played was 11/14/23. A 134-107 LAL win. They covered the -6.5. Before that 4/28/23 LAL 125 - MEM 85. Trends, Memphis are 0-5 ATS in their L5, 1-4 SU L5, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. LAL, and 0-6 ATS L6 playing on the road vs. LAL. Plus, the Grizzlies are 0-5 ATS in their L5 when their opponent allows 100+ in prior game. Lakers are 7-1 SU in their L8 played on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-05-24 | Jets v. Ducks UNDER 6 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
UNDER 6 Probable Goalies: Hellebuyck (19-6-3, 2.28 GAA, 0.921 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Dostal (6-8-1, 3.53 GAA, 0.901 SV%) Jets (23-9-4, 10-4-2 AWAY) take on the Ducks (13-23-1, 6-14-1 HOME) on Friday. Anaheim is struggling this season, and their recent loss to Toronto marked their 3rd consecutive loss. The Ducks' offensive woes continue, as they've managed to score just 2 or fewer goals in 6 of their last 9, averaging a mere 2.51 GPG. In their previous matchup, they mustered only 1 goal on 28 shots. Anaheim currently ranks 29th in GPG and 26th in SPG. Dostal, despite stopping 55 of 57 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 OT loss to the Leafs, suffered his 3rd consecutive loss. However, he has managed to keep opponents to 3 or fewer goals in his last 5 (4 starts). On the other hand, the Jets are enjoying a successful run lately, winning 5 of their last 6, with 4 of those victories coming by at least a two-goal margin. Their most recent triumph was a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay. Hellebuyck, who turned aside 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 2-1 victory against the Sharks, remains undefeated in regulation since the start of December, boasting an impressive 9-0-2 record without allowing more than 3 goals in any of his last 11. It's possible that the Jets may consider resting Hellebuyck on Friday, but given his exceptional performance, he might be eager to take the ice once again. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Winnipeg's L5 on the road, and in 9 of their L13 in JAN. For the Ducks we've seen the UNDER hit in 4 of their L6. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-05-24 | Magic +9.5 v. Nuggets | 122-120 | Win | 100 | 3 h 51 m | Show | |
Magic +9.5 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, it's the (19-15, 7-11 AWAY, 23-11 ATS) Magic taking on the (25-11, 14-3 HOME, 16-19-1 ATS) Nuggets. We’re on the Magic, grabbing the points here. This is a situational spot the Magic will have an edge in. Everyone saw Jokic hit the half court buzzer beater three to beat the Warriors on Thursday night as they shocked Golden State. After a high flying, intense game like that, going back to back with a lesser team is never easy. The Magic are scrappy too. While they’ve dropped the first two games of 2024, they’ve been right there with a good Warriors team and a Kings team they took to overtime. They’re 4 games above .500 as well which has been one of the bigger surprises in the NBA. They’re doing it with their ability to get stops when they need them. They give up 111 ppg and we’ve seen them hold top teams to lower. They’re going to be physical and won’t shy away from this Nuggets team. We’re expecting a fatigued and distracted Nuggets team, that may not be as focused for this one after last nights epic win. Trends, Magic 6-2 ATS L8, 6-0 ATS L6 vs. DEN, and 5-1 ATS L6 on the road. Denver is 2-4 ATS L6. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-05-24 | Knicks v. 76ers OVER 227.5 | 128-92 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 35 m | Show | |
OVER 227.5 POINTS points and more points is what you can expect in this matchup. The Knicks (19-15, 9-11 AWAY, 17-15-2 ATS) will face the 76ers (23-10, 13-4 HOME, 23-10 ATS) Friday at Wells Fargo Center, tip-off is 7:30pm ET on ESPN. The 76ers enter the matchup as -6pt favorites vs. NYK, with the over/under set at 226.5. The ML betting odds are Philadelphia -249, New York +201. Philadelphia ranks sixth in the league in scoring, averaging 120.7 PPG, while New York sits at 14th with 115.3 PPG. On the O/U NYK are 18-16, PHI are 20-12-1. Both are top 15 in 3-pt FG%, FT's per game and PPG. The last time these two met was 2/10/23. A 119-108 PHI win going OVER 222.5 O/U. These Eastern Conference foes are going to produce a very entertaining and fast paced game on Friday night The 76ers have been one of the fast teams in the league. They have so many different weapons and obviously it starts with Joel Embiid. The big center comes in averaging 34.8 ppg, 11.8 rpg, and 6.2 apg. These mvp caliber numbers have led this 76ers side to over 120 ppg. They’re one of the best at getting out and running, which opens up driving lanes and shooting lanes. They should be able to feast on this Knicks defense, that has allowed 114 ppg this season. New York can match that tempo though, which will add value in this spot. The Knicks have seen a lot of their games end up with both teams near or at the 120s and they’re doing it with their ability to shoot so well. As a team, they come in with a high FG% and they have playmakers that can step up all around. This is going to be a classic back and forth game, where both teams go on scoring flurries. Expect this one to have a lot of easy transition buckets and early shots in the shot clock. Trends, The total has gone OVER in 10 of NYK's L13 on the road. Over is 9-1 in Knicks L10 games as a road dog, and the Over is 5-1 in Knicks L6 following a straight up win of 10+. Plus, the total has gone OVER in 14 of NYK's L19 vs. ATLANTIC div. teams. On the other side, the total has gone OVER in 12 of Philadelphia's L18, and the Over is 17-4 in 76ers L21 Friday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-05-24 | Connecticut v. Butler +6.5 | 88-81 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 16 m | Show | |
Butler +6 Friday night the (12-2, 0-2 AWAY, 8-6 ATS) UConn Huskies take on the (10-4, 8-0 HOME, 7-6 ATS) Butler Bulldogs. Tip off is at 6:30pm ET from the Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. These two played nearly a year ago. 1/22/23. A 86-56 UConn win. But that was a much different Butler team. Butler has value here, catching points at home. The Bulldogs have been a much different team at home versus on the road. They come in after dropping back to back games, but both were on the road. Prior to that, the Bulldogs rattled off 7 straight wins, with a majority of those at home. Butler has been one of the quietest teams in the nation with one of the best offenses. Nobody really talks about them, but they have 10 wins and have put up nearly 83 ppg. Those numbers even increase when playing at home. UConn is going to get a very physical side that loves to attack. They’re going to see Butler come right at them and it can give the Huskies some frustrations from the outset. With the home crowd energy, this has the makings of a trap game for the Huskies. UConn is a public betting favorite here, but Hinkle Fieldhouse is an extremely tough place to play. A couple other stats that have caught my eye. Butler is 27th in the nation at FG Attempted per game, and are 19th in the nation from the charity stripe. They'll come at you all game, and when they get to stripe, they're pretty darn good. Exactly what we want when trying to cover a spread against a really good team. Trends, UConn are 1-5 ATS in their L6 on a Friday when playing on the road. Butler are 7-2 SU in their L9, 8-0 SU L8 at home, and are 4-1 L5 on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-04-24 | Islanders v. Coyotes UNDER 6 | 5-1 | Push | 0 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
UNDER 6 On Thursday at 9:00pm ET, the Islanders (17-10-10, 7-6-4 AWAY) will be facing off against the Coyotes (19-15-2, 12-6 HOME) at Mullett Arena, with the game set to be broadcast on ESPN+. The Islanders and Coyotes have value on this under on Thursday night. These are two teams started their 2024 year off with losses and are looking to bounce back. New York's most recent match ended in a 5-4 overtime road defeat to the Avalanche on January 2nd, while Arizona's last game, which took place on the same date, resulted in a 4-1 loss to the Panthers on their home turf. This has the makings of a slower developing game for sure. The Islanders come in scoring just 3.05 gpg, which is one of the lower marks in what’s a scoring league. They have been very inconsistent when it comes to finding the back of the net, as they struggle to control the puck in the opposing zone. New York has had issues when it comes to getting multiple attempts per possession too. That gives this under a nice edge and we should see the Isles play with a very slow tempo from the outset. On the flip side, the Coyotes have been a team that has struggled offensively, but dominated defensively. They have given up just 2.86 gpg, which is one of the best marks in the league. They’re scoring a tick below the Islanders average, which should result in this game having scoring chances a premium. Expect a slow pace and a struggle to find the back of the net in this one. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of NYI L8 when playing on the road against the YOTES, and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Arizona's L6 against NYI. Plus the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's L6 vs. METROPOLITAN div. opponents. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play |

01-04-24 | Oregon +4.5 v. Washington | 76-74 | Win | 100 | 21 h 30 m | Show | |
Oregon +4.5 Thursday night from Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, WA we get the (10-3, 1-0 AWAY, 8-5 ATS) Oregon Ducks taking on the (8-5, 6-1 HOME, 8-5 ATS) UW Huskies. If you've been paying attention you'll notice I'm a Pac 12 honk. It comes from living in the PNW. I know these west coast teams the best, and I'm not afraid to pull the trigger when I see value on a line involving teams I know. Case in point, Thursday. Oregon +4.5. The Ducks have value here as they catch points on the road. Washington has had far too many issues on the defensive end. They’ve been extremely inconsistent when it comes to slowing teams down that push the tempo and they are going to have their hands full in this one. Allowing 76 ppg, the Huskies allowed 95 to Utah last time out. They run into a hot Oregon team that continues to put up wins. The Ducks have a complement of players who can step up and attack and we’ve seen that as of late as they’re getting contributions from many different players. They are also stepping up on the defensive end. As they give up just 70 ppg, the Ducks allowed just 59 to UCLA in their latest win. Oregon has put the clamps down and they’re playing with a ton of pressure. They are one of the best in the conference at closing out on shooters as well, adding to this value. The Ducks are going to push the pace as they know Washington has their fair share of issues with transition defense. Trends, Oregon are 6-2 ATS L8, 6-1 SU L7, 12-3 L15 SU vs. UW, and 5-2 SU L7 on the road vs. UW. UW is randomly 5-11 ATS L16 when playing on a Thursday at home. Grab the points here, with Oregon having a chance to steal this outright. The barking dog has value. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-04-24 | Canucks -138 v. Blues | 1-2 | Loss | -138 | 21 h 53 m | Show | |
Canucks -138 Probable Goalies: Demko (18-7-1, 2.48 GAA, 0.917 SV%, 3 SO's) vs. Binnington (11-11-1, 3.23 GAA, 0.900 SV%, 1 SO) Thursday night at 8pm ET from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO it's the Vancouver Canucks (24-10-3, 10-6-2 AWAY) taking on the St. Louis Blues (18-17-1, 11-6 HOME). No matter how hard I try I just can't stop betting on the Canucks on the ML as long as I get odds under -150. Case in point Thursday night. Nucks -138 vs. the Blues. In Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Senators, Demko saved 35 of 38 shots. The Canucks provided him with a 5-0 lead. Despite conceding at least 3 goals in his last four games, he managed to secure three wins during this stretch. I think the Canucks love playing the Blues. They took them down 5-0 in their previous meeting Oct. 27th as Demko grabbed a 22-save shutout and Van City got nice output from Hughes (2G), Miller (1G, 2A) & Pettersson (2A). Thursday's game sees injuries for both teams. Blues may miss Justin Faulk (lower-body injury vs. Avalanche) while Canucks lose Phillip Di Giuseppe (lower-body injury vs. Senators). Trends, Canucks are 9-1 in their L10 as a road favorite of -110 to -150, and are 8-3 L11, and 5-2 SU L7 vs. WEST teams, plus, they're 9-3 L12 vs. Central DIV. teams. Blues are 2-4 L6 SU vs. Pacific DIV teams, and are 1-4 in their L5 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Blues come into this one on a 2-game losing streak. Nucks are 8-1-2 in their L11. I'm all over Van City in this one. Nucks are #1 in GPG, shooting %, scoring efficiency ratio, and opponent save %. Van has won 2 of the L3 vs. STL. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-04-24 | Bucks v. Spurs +9.5 | 125-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Spurs +9.5 Spurs (5-28, 2-14 HOME, 13-20 ATS) host the Bucks (24-10, 8-7 AWAY, 15-18-1 ATS) tonight in NBA betting action. Tip is at 7:30pm ET. We're obviously hoping we get some Bucks players are sitting news for this matchup, as they're on the 2nd night of a B2B. 80% sure Middleton will be out for this one. These teams already played this season. In the last game, Milwaukee beat the Spurs 132-119. Wembanyama was sidelined with an ankle sprain. The Bucks are on the road for a back-to-back, coming off a 142-130 loss to the Pacers. The Spurs just lost 106-98 on the road to the Grizzlies, with Wembanyama scoring 20 points. It's been a tough stretch for San Antonio, but I think they can stay competitive tonight. For starters, this is a back to back for the Bucks and we could see some players rest. Milwaukee had just an extremely hard fought game last night against the Pacers where they fell and allowed 142 points. The game was extremely fast and the tempo never stopped. Typically after games like this, we see teams sit some players out. The Spurs are struggling mightily this year, but they have some bright spots to lean on. They kept things close with Memphis to start 2024 and they’re starting to look better on both sides of the ball. They are going to catch Milwaukee in a very nice spot here. The fatigue factor and lack of focus having to go down to San Antonio for this game will test the mentality of this team. San Antonio played the Bucks hard last month, putting up 119 points in a loss. They have the ability with their youth to play quick and they can get into a groove. Expect a lot of factors to be against Milwaukee in this spot and for the Spurs to keep it close. Trends, Bucks are 0-8 ATS in their L8 Thursday games, are 1-6 ATS L7 following an ATS win, and Milwaukee are 2-9 ATS in their L11 against SAS, lastly, they're 2-4 L6 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-03-24 | Clippers -2.5 v. Suns | 131-122 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
Clippers -2.5 Wednesday at 9pm ET from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ we get the the (20-12, 16-16 ATS, 6-8 AWAY) LA Clippers taking on the (18-15, 12-20-1 ATS, 10-9 HOME) Phoenix Suns. The Clippers have value here as they take on a Suns team that has a lot of issues right now. We'll get to the Suns issues shortly, but looking at the Clippers first, they come in with a lot of confidence. They have won 10 straight games when Kawhi is on the court and he looked great in his return after missing 4 straight games. Leonard finished with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in a win over Miami as he continues to produce numbers all around. On the flip side of this one, the Suns continue to deal with a lot. Durant has expressed his displeasure at times and now he will be out once again because of hamstring soreness. The Clippers have figured things out on both ends of the floor as they now sit 8 games above .500 and Harden is fitting in quite well. Harden has given both George and Leonard a boost in their production and he comes in off back to back double doubles. Over the last 9 games, he's recorded 5 double doubles. The Clippers have the edge here. They're playing extremely well as a team and they have continued to get production all around the lineup. Trends, LAC 7-3 ATS L10, 12-2 SU L14, 6-2 SU L8 on the road, and 8-1 SU L9 vs. Western teams. On the other side, SUNS are 3-13 ATS L16, 1-6 ATS L7 at home, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. WESTERN teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-03-24 | NC State -4.5 v. Notre Dame | 54-52 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
NC State -4.5 Wednesday night at 9pm ET from the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center in Notre Dame, IN we get the NC State Wolfpack (9-3, 6-6 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) taking on the Fighting Irish (6-7, 6-7 ATS, 5-3 HOME). We're on the Wolfpack here, as they have value here on the road in Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have their first momentum of the season after back to back to wins over Marist and Virginia. However, those come after a 3 game losing streak and they're in search of winning back to back ACC games for the first time in nearly 2 years. The Fighting Irish just lack a spark and they're going to be overwhelmed with this NC State team. The Wolfpack come in putting up nearly 80 PPG. Notre Dame only puts up 63 PPGÂ themselves, as they don't have the firepower to keep up in this game. The Wolfpack love to run and gun, which won't play well into the Fighting Irish's hands. Their two wins were against slow paced teams and this will have them off their rhythm from the outset. NC State goes as DJ Horne goes. He put up 26 points last time out in their win over Detroit as he has averaged 15.0 PPG. He's going to have his way with this ND defense and should ignite this Wolfpack offense to get going early. This is a lopsided matchup that favors the visitors. Trends, NC State are 4-2 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 5-2 SU L7 vs. ND, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. ACC teams. On the other side ND are 7-13 SU L20, and 2-10 SU L12 vs. ACC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-03-24 | Raptors v. Grizzlies UNDER 229.5 | 116-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
UNDER 229.5 Tonight at 8pm ET from the FedExForum in Memphis, TN the Raptors (13-20, 4-11 AWAY, 15-17-1 ATS) take on the Memphis Grizzlies (11-22, 3-12 HOME, 13-20 ATS). This number is going to continue to go down. First off, the injury report for this one shows Ja Morant with the ? tag. If he doesn't play tonight I REALLY LOVE this play, but of course this is the NBA so one doesn't ever really trust these reports right? I still "LIKE" this play a lot if he plays. Both these teams are bottom 15 teams offensively. TOR 114 PPG 18th, MEM 106 PPG 30th. MEM is 30th in FG% and 3pt FG%. TOR are 13th in FG% and 25th in 3pt FG%. Raptors rank 22nd in pace. Grizzlies 16th in pace. The new look Toronto defense will get the best of Memphis in this one, Grizz are on 2nd night of a b2b, and they're 2-12 SU L14 at home, so it has been tough sledding for them there. I'm banking on this game being lower scoring tonight based on past history between these two clubs. 209 total points on 2/5/23, 225 total points on 12/29/22, and 189 points on 11/30/21. The Grizz do well with blocks, steals, and aren't too foul prone, so there's enough defense being played by them to keep this interesting. Trends, the UNDER is 6-0 in MEM's L6 following an ATS loss, and UNDER is 4-0 in MEM's L4 home games. Plus, we've seen the UNDER in 7 of MEM's L10, and in 4 of their L5 vs. Toronto. Plus in 5 of MEM's L6 vs. EAST teams, and in 4 of MEM's L5 vs. Atlantic teams. I'm on the UNDER. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-03-24 | Wizards v. Cavs -9.5 | 101-140 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Cavs -9.5 Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, OH it's the (6-26, 3-15 AWAY, 16-16 ATS) Washington Wizards vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (18-15, 9-8 HOME, 15-16-2 ATS). The Cavs are favored by -9.5 (Opened -9.5), and the O/U is 239.5. Cleveland should feast on this Washington defense on Wednesday night. The Wizards are one of the worst in the NBA on the defensive end and it’s led them to being one of the worst in the league overall. They have allowed over 126ppg and they haven’t been able to slow down anyone. They simply cannot stop anything in transition and their inability to close out on shooters has been rough. They’re going to have their hands completely full with this Cleveland team. The Cavs have battled injuries all year long, but now they have Mitchell back in the lineup. They’re also getting contributions all around, especially from the bench as they’re proving they’re a deep team. Caris LeVert in particular has been one of the biggest guys to step up and he comes in after putting up 31 points against the Raptors last time out. Cleveland will run on this Washington team and push the tempo on them. Washington can’t keep up and they’re going to struggle all night long stopping these Cleveland shooters, who have shot 35% from behind the arc and that number has increased over the previous few games too. Cavs average 112 PPG, but their strong suit is their defense. They're 11th in the association allowing only 112 PPG. They're also 9th in steals, and 14th on the boards. Both big advantages over the lowly Wizards. Trends, the Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their L5 as a favorite, and they're 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Southeast teams. On the other side the Wiz are 4-16 SU L20, 2-5 ATS L7 vs. CLE, 1-5 SU L6 vs. CLE, and are 1-7 SU L8 on the road. Lastly they're 3-16 SU L19 vs. EAST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-02-24 | Maple Leafs v. Kings -125 | 3-0 | Loss | -125 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
LA Kings -125 Probable Goalies: Jones (4-3, 2.73 GAA, 0.915 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Talbot (14-7-3, 2.10 GAA, 0.924 SV%, 2 SO's) Tonight in LA at the Crypto.com Arena at 10:30pm ET it's the Toronto Maple Leafs (17-10-7, 8-3-5 AWAY) taking on the LA Kings (20-8-5, 7-6-4 HOME). On December 30, both Toronto and Los Angeles played at home. Toronto faced the Hurricanes, losing 3-2. Los Angeles had a shootout loss against the Oilers, ending 3-2. The Kings have not let losing streaks pile up on them. That's been one of the biggest keys for them as they're looking to avoid losing 3 straight for just the 2nd time this season. They have the edge here in this matchup. Los Angeles has been one of the biggest surprises here in the early part of the season as they have continued to find ways to win, especially against good teams. Los Angeles ranks 4th in the NHL in scoring offense (3.5 goals per game) and 1st in the NHL in total defense (2.3 goals against). The defensive side has been the biggest key and will be the difference maker here tonight. Los Angeles has leaned on Cam Talbot and his 2.10 GAA. He's been able to not allow anything easy on the defensive end and his ability to not allow rebounds will shut down this Toronto attack. We're getting the goalie edge and have a Kings team that is playing with a lot of confidence here in the early portion of the season. Trends, Toronto are 1-5 SU in their L6, are 2-4 SU in their L6 vs. LA, and are 2-6 SU in their L8 games when playing on the road vs. LA. LA are 5-0 SU in their L5 vs. Atlantic Div. teams.

01-02-24 | Senators v. Canucks -138 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
Canucks -138 Probable Goalies: Korpisalo (7-12, 3.66 GAA, 0.890 SV%) vs. Demko (17-7-1, 2.46 GAA, 0.917 SV%, 3 SO's) Tonight from Van City it's an all Canadian affair as the Ottawa Senators (14-18, 4-8 AWAY) make their west to take on the high flying Vancouver Canucks (23-10-3, 13-4-1 HOME). Puck drop is at 10pm ET from Vancouver's Rogers Arena. The last time these two met up was 11/9/23. A 5-2 Vancouver win in Ottawa. (Van had -121 road odds) Vancouver has had a nice little break and will try to resume their winning ways tonight. In their recent matchups, Vancouver suffered a 4-1 home defeat against the Flyers on December 28, while Ottawa secured a 5-1 home win over the Sabres in their game on NYE. During their recent 10-game stretch, the Canucks averaged 3.5 GPG, totaling 35, while conceding just 22, at a rate of 2.2 GPG defensively. In contrast, the Senators scored 33 goals but struggled on defense, allowing 41 (a 4.1 GPG average). Coming out of the break, Demko is expected to carry a significant workload in the upcoming games, and he continues to share the league lead in wins with Georgiev. Demko's stellar season solidifies his top-5 goalie status with a 17-7-1 record, 2.46 GAA, and .917 save percentage. He's won 5 of his last 6 starts. The Sens come in playing better of late, winning 3 of their last 4, but that's all the nice things I have to say about them. Nucks are #1 in GPG 3.77, Shooting %, and TOP 3 in GA per game, opponent shooting %, and save %. Under Tocchet's leadership for the past year, the Canucks have posted an impressive record of 43-22-7 in 72 games. Furthermore, this season, they have one of their strongest starts in franchise history. Trends, Canucks are 4-0 in their L4 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game, and are 5-1 in their L6 vs. Atlantic teams. Plus, they're 7-3 SU L10, and 5-1 SU L6 at home. Sens are 3-7 SU L10, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. VAN. Plus they're 1-5 L6 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play |

01-02-24 | Nets v. Pelicans -5.5 | 85-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Pelicans -5.5 Tonight at 8pm ET from the Smoothie King Center in Nawlins we get the (15-18, 18-14-1 ATS, 6-10 AWAY) Nets taking on the (19-14, 18-14-1 ATS, 11-7 HOME) Pelicans. The last time these two met was 1/6/23. A Nets 108-102 win. Before that on 10/19/22, a 130-108 Pels win. Pels come in as one of the best teams in the NBA in the paint. They're a top 15 team on both ends of the glass, and they're #3 in the NBA with 8.36 steals per game. These guys get after it. If they get to the charity stripe they make you pay too, #7 in the NBA. Fading Brooklyn on the road is a nice move in this spot. The Nets have been a struggle away from home here in the 2023-2024 season. They own just 6 wins and it's been a rocky start for this team. They've struggled as a whole lately too, losing 8 of their last 10 overall. The Nets come into play one of the worst on the defensive side, as they give up nearly 117 PPGÂ . That won't bode well with them going up against one of the quickest teams in the NBA either. The Pelicans are one of the fastest teams with their tempo and their ability to attack the rim is top notch. They put up 116 PPG themselves and rank 9th in the NBA in FG% (48.3%). New Orleans will utilize that speed and go right at the Nets in this game. Brooklyns struggles lately and really this season have come from their inability to slow the fast break down. This is a great matchup and edge for the Pelicans here who are one of the best at getting up and down the floor, while creating open shooting lanes for their outside threats. New Orleans has played better at home as well, adding to this side. Trends, Nets are 0-6 in their L6 as a DOG. Plus, Brooklyn are 1-9 ATS in their L10, 2-8 SU in their L10, 0-6 ATS in their L6 road games, and they're 0-5 ATS in their L5 against WESTERN teams. On the flip side, New Orleans are 7-3 SU in their L10. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-02-24 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Wisconsin -5.5 #23 Wisconsin Badgers (9-3, 1-0 Big Ten, 5-6-1 ATS) host Iowa (8-5, 0-2 Big Ten, 5-8 ATS) tonight at the Kohl Center, tip off is 7pm ET, were on the home side here, laying the points. Iowa has failed to show up in big games this season. While they’ve won 3 in a row against lowly competition, prior to that they dropped 3 straight against the likes of Iowa State, Michigan, and Purdue. All 3 of those losses were blowouts and now they go up against a Top 25 Badgers team, who is extremely physical. Wisconsin has a compliment of players who have stepped up this year, which includes AJ Storr who comes in after a career high 29 point performance against Chicago State. That’s been the difference with this Badgers team as they have been able to put together performances as of late where they’ve won 8 of their last 9 games. During that stretch, they’ve allowed just 64.9 ppg. The offense of UW is tough to stop with five different players averaging over 9 PPG. Look for Wisconsin to once against step up defensively and force Iowa into a lot of turnovers. Badgers' 13th-ranked offense, strong ball control, 77% free-throw accuracy, and pivotal offensive rebounds have contributed significantly to their successful season. Wisconsin should dictate this game, and they will frustrate Iowa from the outset. Trends, Iowa are 2-5 ATS in their L7, are 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Badgers, are 1-5 SU in their L6 on the road, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. Big Ten schools. Wisconsin are 8-1 SU in their L9, and are 5-0 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-01-24 | Mavs -3 v. Jazz | 90-127 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Dallas -3 The (19-14, 19-14 ATS, 11-7 AWAY) Dallas Mavs take on the (14-19, 18-15 ATS, 9-5 HOME) Utah Jazz at 9pm ET. The Mavericks and Jazz meet to tip off the 2024 year and we’re on Dallas here, laying the number. For starters, Dallas has the mind games over this Utah team coming into this matchup. Dallas beat them by 50 points last month in a 147-97 game that saw Doncic have a first half triple double. There are so many takeaways from that game, but this Utah side just doesn’t matchup well with the Mavericks. Dallas puts up nearly 120 ppg as this offense can get on a roll. The Mavs finished December with a 132 point performance over the Warriors, in a game where they shot 55.7% from the field. That’s what you can get from this team as if they get hot, things can get ugly quickly for the opposition. Utah doesn’t have the playmakers to keep up as they’ve been very inconsistent here in the early part of this season. Utah is scoring 113 ppg, but when you concede nearly 119, ifs never going to work out well. Dallas will turn up the tempo and really push the issue in this game. Doncic should be in store for another big game, as Dallas’ offense will carry the load in this game. Luca's unstoppable, and the Jazz can't contain him. In the previous game, he was on fire, and that will carry over tonight. In Dallas' 132-122 win against Golden State, Doncic scored 39 points, including 25 in the second half, with 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Utah is just far too inconsistent to trust, especially when it comes to this young team and their ability to shoot the ball. Trends, Dallas is 4-1 ATS in their L5 games, 12-4 ATS in L16 matchups vs. Utah, and 6-1 SU in L7 against Utah. On the road, they're 6-2 ATS in L8 away games and 6-1 ATS when playing at Utah. Utah are 2-5 SU in their L7 vs. WEST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-01-24 | Texas v. Washington +4.5 | 31-37 | Win | 100 | 703 h 56 m | Show | |
Washington +4.5 The #2 Washington Huskies (13-0, 7-6 ATS) take on the #3 Texas Longhorns (12-1, 6-6-1 ATS) in the CFB Playoff Semi Final on New Year's Day. This game will be played at 8:45 ET January 1st from the Caesar's Super Dome in New Orleans, LA. The game opened with UW a +4 underdog at UT (-4pt favorite) and the O/U is set at 64. Unfortunately for UW fans they'll have to travel to New Orleans instead of their preferred Rose Bowl closer to home in Pasadena CA. Not sure why the committee did that. But it is what it is. Last game for UT, they won 49-21 in the Big 12 Championship game vs. OKST. For Washington, last game out they won the Pac 12 Championship in Las Vegas, taking down Oregon 34-31. (Washington covered the +9.5, and the line went UNDER the 65). In case you forget, there's some intrigue with this matchup. Steve Sarkisian (current UT Coach) used to be the HC at Washington from 09-13. This game is also a rematch from the 2022 Alamo Bowl, where we saw UW defeat the Longhorns 27-20 in San Antonio. In that matchup UT scored 10 late points but behind Penix's arm (287 yards and 2 TD's) UW got the job done. UW also got the job done on the ground in that one. In this game though I think the Huskies will have their greatest chance to cover this spread vs. UT via the pass. UW is the best passing attack in the country. Can UT's frosh corner(s) play mistake free football? Sure, UT have some dudes on their DLine, but I like how the Dawgs match up in the trenches to give Penix time. UW have faced the Ducks twice. Those 2 games have prepared the Huskies for what UT will bring on defense. What did they do to them? They ran screens and routes going sideline to sideline, AND they mixed in an explosive run-game combined with play-action. Expect a game plan that keep's UT on their toes all game long. Penix will be relentless. OU beat Texas this year, and that's exactly what UW is going to do in this one. UW's plan will be to wear down the UT defense. I just don't see a scenario where Texas covers this spread (+4.5). Trends, UW are 10-0 SU L10, and 5-1 ATS L6 when playing as an underdog. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-01-24 | Alabama +2 v. Michigan | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -115 | 630 h 51 m | Show |
Alabama +2 We're going with the UNDERDOGS in the CFB Playoffs when the #4 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1, 9-4 ATS) take on the #1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0, 7-5-1 ATS) in the 2024 Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Bama jumped up to #4 from #8 after their takedown of the #1 ranked Georgia in the SEC title game. Michigan got here with pretty much a "practice" game against the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship. These two last met up in the 2020 Citrus Bowl. Michigan lost 35-16, but most "experts" will say this isn't the same Alabama team, I'd argue it's not that much different. They're still coached by Saban, and they play his brand of ball. On the other side Michigan hasn't had much luck in the bowls the last couple years. 2022 they lost to TCU, and in 2021 it was a loss to Georgia. Here's the tale of the tape for this one. Scoring: Michigan (14th) 36.7PPG, Alabama (19th) 35.1PPG. Defense: Michigan (1st) 9.5PPG, Alabama (17th) 18.4PPG. Total offense: Michigan (68th) 380.5YPG, Alabama (54th) 401.2YPG. Total defense: Michigan (2nd) 239.2YPG, Alabama (18th) 313.3PPG. As you can see, not much separates these two. This is only the second time in the Saban era that Bama are dogs in B2B games, and now that they've had the dog feeling, they'll have that dog mentality for this matchup. Saban is a master at playing the "they're disrespecting us angle" and play it he will. The last 4 times Bama were dogs (vs. UG) the Tide are 3-1 ATS. These two teams are the top 2 teams to win the national title too, so remember the futures bets that play into this one. Bama is one of the nations most popular teams to bet on (we all know that) and their lines are routinely inflated but in this case its warranted. What has Harbaugh done lately in bowl games? He needs to show me more before I'll bet on him. Sorry Jim. Trends, Bama 5-1 L6, 10-0 SU L10, 8-1 ATS L9 vs. Big Ten teams, and 4-1 ATS L5 as an underdog. Flip it and Michigan is 1-4 L5 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Lock in Bama, grab some roses for your significant other and smile at the window. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-31-23 | Packers v. Vikings OVER 46 | 33-10 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 17 m | Show | |
OVER 46 Sunday night football this week features the Green Bay Packers (7-8, 7-8 ATS, 3-5 AWAY) travelling to Minnesota to take on the Vikings (7-8, 7-5-3 ATS, 2-5 HOME). Kick-off is 8:20pm ET on NBC. I'm backing points in this game. Last week, the Vikings suffered a 30-24 loss to the Lions as 2.5-point underdogs, while the Packers held off the Panthers with a 33-30 win. In their recent Minneapolis meeting, the Vikings won 23-7 on 9/11/22. Earlier this season, they secured a 24-10 victory at Lambeau on 10/29/23, with Cousins playing a key role. The Packers/Vikings have played 126x, with the Packers winning 65, the Vikings 58, and 3 ties. With Jefferson (141 YDS, 6 REC, 1 TD) back and looking as explosive as ever he's worth his weight in gold for OVER bettors this week. The Packers have seen Jordan Love become what should be their future QB for quite some time after his success in 2023. Love has tossed for 3587 yards and 27 touchdowns as he’s found his success with the ability to hit the long ball. That bodes well for this Over as we’ve seen Green Bay not shy about taking chances deep downfield. They come in off a 33 point performance and should find plenty of success against this Vikings secondary. However, the defense has let them down tremendously. They conceded 30 to a lowly Panthers offense and they’re going to have their hands full with Minnesota here. The Vikings have played QB roulette this season, but they’ve still been able to score over the last couple of weeks. They’ve put up 24 and 23 points in those games, but their defense has been atrocious. All the situational edges point here to a game with scoring chances both ways and a lot of offensive production. Trends, the total has gone OVER in all of GB's L5, and in 4 of GB's L5 vs. NFC teams. For MIN the total has gone OVER in 5 of their L7 vs. the Packers. The Packers and Vikings are both looking to stay alive in their playoff races. We should see some fireworks here between these two sides. I'm backing points in this matchup. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday Night 8* NFL O/U Play |

12-31-23 | Bengals v. Chiefs -6.5 | 17-25 | Win | 100 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
Kansas City -6.5 Sunday at 4:25pm from Arrowhead the Bengals (8-7, 6-7-2 ATS, 3-4 AWAY) visit the Chiefs (9-6, 7-7-1 ATS, 4-4 HOME). The Chiefs and Bengals are usually finding themselves in the midst of battling for a top spot into the AFC. When these two teams meet on Sunday, they’re battling to just get into the playoffs. The Chiefs were embarrassed on Christmas Day and they’re going to bounce back here in a big way. Kansas City fell to Oakland and the frustration was visible all around. This is a perfect spot for them to grab win number 10. They are still in need of a win and some help to clinch the AFC West and they get a good matchup here with a Bengals team that noticeably is starting to run out of steam after last week. Cinci fell 34-11 to the Steelers in a game where they were dominated from the outset. After having some magic with Browning, they had nothing going and now they’re going to get a fired up Chiefs team that is looking to take out some frustrations. Kansas City still has confidence as Mahomes even came out and said they’re still in the drivers seat. This team still has seen the defense step up, as they’ve given up just 17.7 points per game. That’s one of the best marks in the NFL and they should be able to see this offense produce much more on their end here in Week 16. Kansas City is the better team and has the better playmakers. Trends, Cinci are 3-8 L11 vs. AFC teams. KC are 14-6 SU L20, 13-3 SU L16 vs. AFC, and 11-4 L15 vs. AFC North teams. Look for them to bounce back. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-31-23 | Jets -103 v. Wild | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
Jets -103 Confirmed Goalies: Brossoit (4-3-1, 2.49 GAA, 0.911 SV%) vs. Fleury (6-5-2, 3.17 GAA, 0.893 SV%) Happy New Years Everyone! On Sunday at 2:00pm ET, the Jets (21-9-4, 9-4-2 AWAY) face off against the Minnesota Wild (16-14-4, 10-4-2 HOME). The game will take place at Xcel Energy Center. These two just met on Saturday, a 4-2 Jets win. They are really on a roll right now and I don't see the Wild having the guns to keep up again on Sunday. While the Wild are 7-3 in their last 10 the Jets have been even better. (7-1-2 L10, 9-3 L12, 7-3 L10 on the road) They're only giving up 2 GPG, and they're scoring 3.7 GPG. The Wild are scoring 3.1 GPG and allowing 2.6 GPG. Brossoit's 26 saves were instrumental in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Red Wings. Over the past month, his performance has been outstanding, boasting a 2.02 goals-against average (GAA) and a remarkable .932 save percentage in his last five starts. The Jets currently feature a formidable goaltending duo, with both their goalies consistently delivering stellar performances. Fleury came in in relief on Saturday, but didn't look overly impressive. Fleury delivered a solid performance in his recent start against the Bruins last Saturday, stopping 19 of 21 shots and securing a 3-2 victory. He aims to continue his three-game winning streak in Sunday's game. I'm on the Jets on Sunday. The Jets are the 2nd best defensive team in the NHL and it showed on Saturday vs. the Wild. They looked dominant. Both these teams are even on the PP and PK, so there's no real advantage there. The Jets get the nod in Hits per game, and faceoff %. Hey, it's the little things! I'm on the Jets on Sunday. You should be too! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NHL ML Play |

12-31-23 | Falcons v. Bears UNDER 39 | 17-37 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 33 m | Show | |
UNDER 39 The Bears (6-9, 5-10 ATS, 4-3 HOME) are set to host the Falcons (7-8, 7-6-2 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) at Soldier Field Sunday at 1pm ET, on CBS. Falcons come into this matchup 24th at PPG (19.13 PPG) in the NFL, and the Bears are 21st (20.9 PPG). Neither are Top 10 in the NFL in the red zone, and the Falcons have the 6th D in the NFL (19 PPG). Last week the Falcons pulled off a convincing 29-10 victory over the Colts, they were 3pt home favorites. Meanwhile, the Bears beat the Cardinals 27-16 covering as 4.5pt home favorites. Examining their H2H history, these teams have crossed paths 29 times since 1966, with the Bears holding a slight 15-14 edge. Each team has won 2 of the last 4. The Falcons secured the latest win, 27-24 in a home game on 11/20/22. Chicago, on the other hand, has grabbed wins in 6 of the last 10. Chicago comes into play on Sunday with only themselves to blame for not making the postseason. They’ve choked games away and their offensive production just hasn’t been there from the start. They are putting up just 20.9 points per game, which is one of the worst marks in the NFL. Their issues stem from their inability to finish in the red zone and turnovers have killed them this season. On the flip side, Atlanta’s hopes hang by a thread, but their inability to score has costed them as well. This team is putting up only 19.1 points per game. They’ve been able to stay in contention thanks in large part to them only allowing 19.2 on the defensive end. This is going to be a game where neither side is able to move the ball with the big play, forcing them to establish a run game and chew the clock. That will play into the favor of this Under in a game where scoring chances come at a premium. Look for a lot of short check downs and runs, which is what these two offenses really have done all season long. I just don't see either of these two teams having offenses that can roll up the other. I think as we get closer to the end of the season points will be at a premium in this one. Trends, for ATL, the UNDER is 6-0 in their L6 as a road dog, the UNDER has hit in 4 of ATL's L5, and in 8 of ATL's L9 in DEC. (dating back to 22 season) For CHI the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L8, and 9 of the L12 vs. Atlanta, plus the UNDER has hit for CHI 3-0-1 L4 overall. I'm on the UNDER. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play |

12-31-23 | Titans v. Texans -3.5 | 3-26 | Win | 100 | 119 h 35 m | Show | |
Texans -3.5 Sunday in Houston, we have the Titans (5-10, 6-8-1 ATS, 1-6 AWAY) facing off against the Texans (8-7, 5-3 HOME, 7-8 ATS). Last week, the Titans stuck to their ground-and-pound philosophy against the Seahawks. IMO that approach plays right into the Texans' defensive strengths. Houston held the Browns to a mere 54 rushing yards and ranks 6th in the NFL in limiting opponents to just 90 RUSH YPG. To secure a win in this matchup, the Titans will need to rely more on their passing game. While they have talented receivers in Hopkins and Burks, Tannehill at the end of the day is still Tannehill. The Texans are anxiously awaiting the return of star rookie QB C.J. Stroud, who I believe will be back in action. Coach Ryans mentioned Stroud's improvement and his return to team meetings last week. He should be a "GO". If he's 100% healthy, the Texans would likely be favored by -7 points at home. I'm taking them at -3.5. Offensively, Houston averages 21.8 PPG (15th), while Tennessee struggles at 18 PPG (27th). Defensively, both teams are close, with TENN allowing 21.4 PPG and HOU allowing 22 PPG. Notably, the Titans, even with Henry, are 31st in the NFL in the red zone and 28th on 3rd down conversions. In their recent history, the Titans hold a slight lead in the series at 23-20. Their most recent clash was Week 15, a 19-16 Texans win in Nashville. Houston's comeback from a 13-0 deficit showcased their resilience and should boost their confidence for Week 17. To me, it looks like the Titans out of playoff contention are showing signs of fatigue. No gas left in the tank. Trends, Titans are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. AFC South teams (& 1-6 L7), 5-15 SU L20, 1-5 ATS L6 vs. HOU, and 1-9 SU L10 on the road. For Houston, they're 5-2 ATS L7 in DEC, and they're 8-2 ATS in their L10 following a straight up loss. I'm all over the Texans on Sunday as they put the boots to the Titans season. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

12-30-23 | Lions v. Cowboys OVER 52 | 19-20 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
OVER 52 (11-4, 6-2 AWAY, 10-5 ATS) Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys (10-5, 7-0 HOME, 9-6 ATS) on Saturday night. (MNF) 8:15 ET from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. This game opened at 53.5. So we're getting good value. Lions AVG. 27.5 PPG (5th), Cowboys 30.1 PPG (2nd). Lions allow 23.7 PPG (22nd) Cowboys allow 19.1 PPG (5th). Both are top 15 in the Red Zone, and Top 10 in TOT YDS PER GAME and TOT YDS Per play. Plus these are two of the top 3 passing offenses in the NFL, and both are Top 15 in RUSH yds per game too. It's offense all over the place. In 4 of the past 5 Dallas home games, there has been a total of 55+ games. The Lions have surpassed the total in 10 out of 15 games. I'm anticipating a high-scoring game with plenty of passing, and this is where the Lions have shown vulnerabilities in their defense. I just have to have action on this game. There's too many weapons. Goff vs. Dak, Gibbs vs. Pollard, CeeDee vs. Sun God, Ferguson vs. LaPorta. Cooks vs. Raymond/Williams. Weapons everywhere. Not to mention two good kickers who can put up points from 75 yards if needed! LOL. I put it off, and put it off, and I stared at it some more tonight and I'm going to hit the OVER 52. I'm expecting both teams to hit 28 midway thru the 3rd quarter. This is going to be a set it and forget it game. Trends, Over has hit in 6 of DTowns L7, and 4 of their L5 on the road, plus, the over is 6-0 in Lions L6 games on turf. Over is 4-0 in Cowboys L4 games on a Saturday, and 8 of their L10 vs. the Lions. Don't overthink it. We're cashing. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NFL O/U Play |

12-30-23 | Lakers v. Wolves OVER 225.5 | 106-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
OVER 225.5 Saturday at 8:10pm ET from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN it's the LA Lakers (18-15, 15-18 ATS, 6-11 AWAY) taking on the T-Wolves (23-7, 15-14-1 ATS, 13-1 HOME). Minnesota recently secured a 118-110 win over the Mavs, boosting their Western Conference-leading record to 23-7. The Lakers dominated the Hornets with a 133-112 win, marking their second win in 3 games. It's LeBron's birthday. For his entire career, LeBron has maintained an average of 33.7 PPG on his birthday. I'm expecting a motivated LeBron today. I'm expecting offense. There's too many good offensive players ready to get at each other today. KAT is averaging 21PPG, Edwards 25PPG, Gobert 12PPG (12 boards), James 25PPG, Davis 24PPG, Russell 15PPG. The last time these two met was on 12/21/23 a 118-111 MIN win. I can see something very similar in terms of score tonight. LA averages 114 PPG, MINN averages 113 PPG. Both shoot over 35% from 3. The Lakers currently hold the seventh position in possessions per game, averaging 104.5, while the Wolves are placed 18th with an average of 102.4 possessions. Injuries: Clark is OUT, KAT is (?), LeBron and AD will likely both go with this being a big game, and LJ's birthday. Reddish is probable, and Vincent is still OUT. Trends: The OVER has hit in the Lakers L10 games on the road. Plus, the Over is 6-0 in Lakers L6 as an underdog, and the OVER is 5-0 SU L5. Finally, the Lakers have had the Over hit to the tune of 5-0 in L5 when their opponent allows 100+ in their previous game. The total has gone OVER in 4 of the Wolves L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-30-23 | Rangers v. Lightning -105 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 13 m | Show | |
Lightning -105 Probable Goalies: Quick (9-2-1, 2.41 GAA, 0.916 SV%, 2 SO's) vs. Vasilevskiy (8-6, 2.78 GAA, 0.907 SV%, 1 SO) Saturday night at 7pm ET from the Amalie Arena in Tampa FL, the NY Rangers (24-9-1, 12-5-1 AWAY) take on the Tampa Bay Lightning (17-14-5, 10-4-3 HOME). For Tampa Vasilevskiy has won 7 of his last 9 (7-2-0), posting a tremendous .925 SV% over that time. Last game out he took the L however in a 3-2 loss to Florida on Wednesday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak. Before the loss he had stopped 91 of 97 shots in the prior 3 matchups. Needless to say I haven't lost faith in him. Since last December he's 1-1 vs. NYR.The Rangers will be playing on the second night of a B2B, just like Phili did on Friday as we cashed with Seattle on the ML at home. Tampa Bay will be the fresher of the two teams. These two teams statistically are almost mirror images of each other. Both are TOP 10 in goals per game, shooting %, and shots per game. Both have HOT goalies. Both have killer power plays (1 and 2), both are top 10 in face offs. NYR lost 4-3 vs. the Panthers on FRI. Quick was in net. Allowing 4 goals on 32 shots. (.875 SV%). He could be in net again on Saturday, or NYR could go back to Shesterkin. Shesterkin allowed 1 goal on 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals, he has won 4 in a row. No matter which goalie Tampa gets, it won't be easy, but they're rested, and playing well of late. Trends, the Rangers are 2-5 SU L7 vs. TB. TB are 4-2 L6 SU, 4-1 SU L5 at home, and 10-5 L15 games in DEC. I'm on the Bolts on SAT night. They're a tough out at home, and I'm banking on them having the fresher legs. You know what to do.

12-30-23 | NC-Wilmington +10 v. Arkansas | 90-106 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show | |
UNCW +10 Saturday at 5pm ET from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR the UNC Wilmington Seahawks (9-2, 4-4 ATS) take on the Arkansas Razorbacks (8-4, 3-9 ATS). We’re grabbing the points here with UNCW, as they come in here with some nice value. Looking at Arkansas first, this Razorbacks side has been inconsistent to start the year. Their 4 losses have shown a lot of their flaws on the defensive end. One game in particular stands out where they lost to UNCG 78-72 earlier this season. That has a similar feel to this game as the Razorbacks struggle with teams that can play quick and get hot from behind the arc. Arkansas gives up 75.3 points per game, which is one of the worst marks in the SEC. UNCW has won 4 in a row and one of those wins was at Kentucky. This side has not only played with a lot of confidence, but they’ve averaged a score of 85.4 ppg. They aren’t shy about playing quick and it’s going to put a lot of pressure on Arkansas from the start. The ability to shoot the 3 and turn defense into offense is what has led this UNCW side to so much success. They can go right at this Arkansas defense. Look for the kind of game where we see a lot of back and forth action. The difference here is that UNCW has shown the ability to keep up with anyone and Arkansas is by no means going to overpower anyone. Trends, Arkansas is 2-9 ATS record in their L11, while UNCW is red-hot with a 5-1 SU streak in their L6. On the road, UNCW boasts a 13-4 SU record in their L 17 away games. However, they've struggled against SEC opponents, going 1-7 SU in their L8. Notably, UNC Wilmington excels in December, boasting a 10-2 ATS record in their L12 games this month. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Florida State +14 Get ready for the Orange Bowl showdown happening on Saturday, December 30, 2023, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. It's the Georgia Bulldogs (12-1, 4-8-1 ATS) going head-to-head with the Florida State Seminoles (13-0, 8-4 ATS), and you can catch all the action on ESPN. The opening betting odds for the Orange Bowl put the Seminoles as two-touchdown underdogs, and the game's total points are set at 44.5. If you're into straight-up betting, the moneyline stands at Georgia (-651) and Florida State (+454). This will be matchup #12 in this long running rivalry. UG leads the series over FSU 6-4-1. They haven't met in 20 years. The last matchup was Bowden vs. Richt's 2022 Sugar Bowl. A 26-13 Georgia win. In their recent matchups, the Bulldogs faced a tough challenge against Alabama, falling short with a final score of 27-24 in the SEC Championship game. On the other hand, the Seminoles are coming off a solid win against Louisville, 16-6 in the ACC title matchup. Let's take a closer look at the stats. Georgia ranks 7th in scoring, with an average of 38.4 PPG. However, they are 97th in points allowed in the NCAA. On the other hand, Florida State's offense is performing well, averaging 37 PPG, which places them 9th in the NCAA. Defensively, Florida State is currently 54th in points allowed, giving up 15.9 PPG. Trends, FSU are 10-0 L10, 4-1 L5 vs. SEC teams, 6-1 SU L7 DEC games, 16-0 L16 Saturday games, and 7-1 ATS L8 games as a DOG. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-30-23 | UCLA v. Oregon -7.5 | 59-64 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 53 m | Show | |
Oregon -7.5 The (6-6, 4-7-1 ATS) UCLA Bruins take on the (9-3, 8-4 ATS) Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Tip is at 4:00 PM EST from the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, OR. Oregon cashed in for us last time out as they took down USC. This team is just different at home and they have a lot of value in this spot. UCLA has so many question marks surrounding them. They finally got in the win column at Oregon state last time out, but that comes after they dropped 3 straight, which includes a loss to CS Northridge. They still only managed 69 points in the win as well at Oregon State as they can’t find any consistency. The Bruins only score 67.8 ppg and now they go up against an Oregon team that is putting up 79.3 ppg themselves. The Ducks have back to back impressive wins where they blew Kent and USC out in games where they found a ton of offensive production. The Ducks put up 82 and 84 points in those wins as they have found a nice groove. They are going to overwhelm this UCLA team. The Bruins are young and their youth has shown this year. They turn the ball over a lot and the Ducks defense swarms. The pressure will be up and Oregon will make this a long night for the Bruins. Trends, UCLA are 1-5 ATS in their L6, 1-4 SU L5, 2-5 ATS L7 vs. Oregon, and 2-7 SU L9 vs. Oregon in Eugene. On the other side the Ducks are 6-1 ATS L7, 5-1 SU L6, 6-0 ATS L6 at home, and they're 6-3 L9 on a Saturday in Eugene. I'm backing the Ducks on Saturday in Pac 12 play. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-29-23 | Arizona v. California +14 | 100-81 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
California +14 Arizona (9-2, 1-0 AWAY, 9-2 ATS) take on CAL (4-7, 4-2 HOME, 6-5 ATS) on Friday night in Pac 12 action. We’re on Cal here, with the points. This is a lot of points to lay in a conference game and this Cal side isn’t as bad as oddsmakers think. Cal has dealt with some injuries here early on and they got healthy in their latest win over UC San Diego last time out. Jaylon Tyson, who averaged 19.4 ppg last year and G Devin Askew both returned to the lineup and should be full go here on Friday night. Cal also has seen production from a few other players with those absences as they have been able to build a deep team. That should allow them to stay close in this one. They are averaging 76 ppg and that’s a big number given the missing pieces they’ve had. They can shoot the 3 ball and their ability to attack is very underrated in the PAC-12. While we know what Arizona brings to the table, Cal has the ability to match their pace and scoring. I’m not sitting here saying Cal is going to easily win this outright. But given the circumstances they’ve played with thus far, they’re going to be geared up for this one Friday with their key pieces back. You won't find many trends, or stats that point to a CAL win ehre, but isn't this why we love sports? CAL passes the eye test, and they're playing well. 14 points is too many. Expect them to keep it close as they’ll come out with some fire here at home. Cal are 5-2 ATS in their L7. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-29-23 | Flyers v. Seattle Kraken -127 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
Kraken -127 Probable Goalies: Carter Hart (9-6-2, 2.57 GAA, 0.914 SV%) vs. Joey Daccord (7-5-8, 2.53 GAA, 0.913 SV%, 1 SO) Tonight the Flyers (19-11-4, 11-4-3 AWAY) take on the Seattle Kraken (13-14-9, 6-8-3 HOME). Game start is 10pm ET in Seattle. The Flyers are playing on B2B nights and I feel now is the right time to jump on the Kraken ML. This line has moved in our favor and this AM I see value on this line at -127. (It was -135 yesterday afternoon) It was a challenging evening for Vancouver yesterday, as the Flyers managed to defeat the top-ranked team during their West Coast road trip. Zamula, Walker, and Farabee all found the net in the second period, propelling the Flyers to a 4-1 triumph. Ersson's out tonight, Hart's in. Ersson stopped 18 of 19, Hart took over in the third, saving all 8 shots. In the Kraken's recent game, Daccord successfully blocked 32 of the 34 shots fired by the Ducks, contributing to a 3-2 win on SAT. This marked Daccord's 4th win in his last 6 starts. The last game for Seattle was on Wednesday, a 2-1 win over the Flames. After almost 20 months since his last NHL start, Chris Driedger showcased his skills by making 37 saves, effectively leading the Kraken to a 2-1 win against the Flames on Wednesday. The goals were scored by Yamamoto and Wennberg. Daccord has conceded only 12 goals in 7 starts since Grubauer's injury, and the Kraken are currently showcasing their strongest performance of the year. They're riding a seven-game point streak (5-0-2) as they head into Friday. Seattle won the last matchup on 2/16/23 6-2 in Seattle. (-184 ML) Seattle are 5-2 SU in their L7. You know what to do!

12-29-23 | Missouri v. Ohio State OVER 48.5 | 14-3 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 50 m | Show | |
OVER 48.5 (10-2, 8-4 ATS) Missouri takes on (11-1, 6-5-1 ATS) Ohio State in the 2023 Cotton Bowl on Friday. Kickoff is at 8pm ET from Jerry World (AT&T Stadium) in Arlington, TX. Regardless of whether Harrison Jr. plays or not I like the OVER to hit in this matchup. Ohio State enjoys a commanding 10-1-1 historical advantage in their longstanding rivalry with Mizzou. The only victory for Missouri in this series dates back to 1976 when they narrowly defeated OST 22-21. Missouri is currently riding high from a recent 48-14 victory over Arkansas, boasting an offense that averages 34 PPG, ranking them 27th in the NCAA. Defensively, they stand 73rd in points allowed. Meanwhile, Ohio State is fresh off a 30-24 loss to Michigan, failing to secure a 4th-quarter comeback as Michigan outscored them by one point in that final period. The Buckeyes have maintained an average of 32.8 PPG this season, positioning them 33rd in the national rankings. Ohio State is still motivated despite missing the College Football Playoff, and we know Missouri is determined, making them a tough out. We hope Ohio State is just as ready. Kyle McCord is out, but Devin Brown, a good highly touted QB recruit, has just been coached up by Ryan Day for three weeks. (Worth it's weight in gold) He's prepared for the upcoming challenges. Trends, The total has gone OVER in 7 of Missouri's L10. Over is 3-0-1 in Buckeyes L4 bowl games, and the Over is 3-0-1 in Buckeyes L4 neutral site games. You know what to do! Hop ON!

12-29-23 | Bucks v. Cavs +6.5 | 119-111 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Cavs +6.5 Friday night the Cleveland Cavs (18-13, 15-16 ATS) host the Milwaukee Bucks (23-8, 14-16-1 ATS). Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse hosts this one at 7:30pm ET. Over the past two years, the Cavaliers emerged as a team that gets up for the challenge vs. Milwaukee. In 2021-22, they won 3/4 against the Bucks, 2-2 in 2022/23, with the Cavs taking the 2 recent games. (114-102 on 1/21/23 was the last game) Friday, we’re on the Cavs here, grabbing the points. Cleveland returns home after what was one of the more impressive wins of the season as they took down the Mavs on Wednesday night. Cleveland has been battling injuries all season long and with the stars like Garland and Mitchell out, they have had limited resources to say the least. However, it’s been different players stepping up each night and this time it was LeVert who came up big. He finished with 29 points and 7 assists as he propelled Cleveland to their 2nd straight win. This is a Cleveland team using the next man up motto. No matter who has gone down, there’s been someone right there to step up. The Cavs have held the last two opponents to low totals, as they’re leaning on their defense to produce. The key stops and ability to turn turnovers into easy buckets the other way has been the key to success. Milwaukee grabbed a win in Brooklyn after losing to the Knicks on Christmas. The Bucks continue this road swing and this is a tough spot for them. Going against a scrappy Cavs team before returning home for a brief game is going to have the focus lacking. Cleveland is going to cause issues for Milwaukee and this game should be close throughout. Trends, the Bucks are 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. CLE, and are 2-5 SU vs. CLE. They're also 1-4 L5 ATS on the road vs. CLE. Cleveland are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 5-1 SU L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-29-23 | Notre Dame -6 v. Oregon State | 40-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Notre Dame -6 #21 vs. #15. The games are getting better aren't they? Friday we get the (8-4, 6-6 ATS) Oregon State Beavers taking on the (9-3, 8-3-1 ATS) Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Kicking off at 2 pm ET on CBS. ND closed the regular season with impressive back-to-back wins, defeating Stanford 56-23 as 26-point favorites. Their offense has been prolific, scoring 45+ points in 4Â of the last 5 games, while their defense allows just 16.6 PPG. Missing players or not, ND are the better all-around team here on Friday. Oregon State faces a challenging matchup after losing to top-10 ranked teams in their recent 2 games. The history, the Fighting Irish have a historical bowl game record of 20-21, which includes a perfect 1-0 record at the Sun Bowl. In contrast, Oregon State holds a solid 12-7 bowl game record, with an impressive 2-0 record specifically in games played in El Paso. The Fighting Irish boast superior overall team talent and a stronger presence at the line of scrimmage compared to what the Beavers will bring to the field on Friday. Notre Dame is battle-tested and highly motivated to make a statement in this game. It has the potential to turn into a lopsided contest of monumental proportions, and I doubt we'll be nervously watching as the clock ticks down in the fourth quarter. It's just a shame we don't get Hartman vs. Uiagalelei! Trends, OST are 1-4 ATS L5, and 1-4 L5 games in DEC. ND are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 9-2 SU L11 vs Pac 12 schools, and they're 5-2 SU L7 in DEC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF Sun Bowl ATS Play |

12-29-23 | Clemson v. Kentucky OVER 44 | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
OVER 44 The Clemson Tigers (8-4, 6-6 ATS) are set to face off against the Kentucky Wildcats (7-5, 6-6 ATS) in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Friday. The game will kick off from EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, at Noon ET and will be televised on ESPN. Clemson, with a 26-23 record, heads to the Gator Bowl for the 10th time, where they're 4-5. Facing Kentucky in Jacksonville, they aim for a 5th consecutive win this season. Kentucky, initially 5-0 but later struggling with a 5-1 stretch, redeemed themselves with a notable win over #10 Louisville. They hold a 12-10 bowl game record. Although Kentucky leads the series 8-5, Clemson won their recent clash 21-13 in the 2009 Music City Bowl. Listen, I'm going to make this a quick write-up ok? BET THE OVER. For some reason this line has trickled down after the opening. The public thinks that because players are missing this game (it's a good list) that there won't be offense. Problem is bettors aren't realizing (for some reason) that the guys missing this game are on the defensive side of the ball. (8+ guys combined on D for both teams) I think we'll see 50+ points in this matchup. The teams are going to fling it around, and I think we're going to see a really entertaining game (if you like offense), and two teams that will be runnin' & gunnin' all day. Trends, Kentucky exceeded the Over in 7 of 9 recent games with an 8-4 season Over record. Clemson hit it in 3 of 6 games. The Over trend favors Kentucky with a 6-0 record against winning teams and 4-0 following wins. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF Gator Bowl O/U Play |

12-28-23 | Arizona -2.5 v. Oklahoma | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
Arizona -2.5 (Love -2 or -1.5 even more) Winning night on my Wednesday Bowl plays! Back for more Thursday. Time for the 2023 Valero Alamo Bowl featuring the (9-3) Arizona Wildcats vs. Oklahoma Sooners (10-2). Kick off is at 9:15pm ET from Alamodome, in San Antonio, TX. These two have played each other 2x thru the years. They've split the series 1-1. The Sooners are playing in their 25th straight bowl matchup, while the Wildcats return after not playing in a bowl since 2017. Arizona's impressive journey, from 1-11 in 2021 to 8 wins, marks a historic turnaround. Fueled by a convincing 59-23 victory over ASU, the Wildcats aim to sustain their momentum. They come in red hot and they take on a new look Oklahoma side on Thursday night. The Sooners saw Dillion Gabriel walk out the door and head to Oregon and they’re going to turn to their future, true freshman Jackson Arnold. He’s up for a tall task against this Arizona team that is playoff at such a top level. The Wildcats finished the season winning 6 straight games and the most points allowed in one of those games was just 24. This Arizona defense is going to pin their ears back and fire away on this true freshman in the backfield. Expect this defense, that gives up just 20.8 PPG, to really mix in different blitz packages. Offensively, they have been on fire since Noah Fifta took over. He’s been able to lead this offense during their winning streak with his ability to beat teams through the air. He threw for over 500 yards in the win over ASU into the season finale and will have a field day with this Sooners defense that has opt outs. Momentum and motivation are on the Wildcats side. Arizona, are battle-tested, and grabbed W's in 4/6 games against AP Top 25 teams during a rigorous season. Trends to consider, Arizona shines with a remarkable 7-1 ATS streak in their L8 and a flawless 8-0 SU record when favored. OU is 1-6 SU record in their L7 games as a dog. Back the Cats in the Alamo Bowl. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* ALAMO Bowl ATS Play |

12-28-23 | USC v. Oregon -2.5 | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Oregon -2.5 USC (6-5, 5-6 ATS) and Oregon (8-3, 7-4 ATS) will meet in their Pac-12 opener at Matthew Knight Arena this Thursday, with a 9 p.m. ET tip-off (watch on ESPN 2). In their recent outings, USC broke a three-game losing streak, winning convincingly 79-59 against the Alabama State Hornets on December 19, while Oregon returned to the win column with an 84-70 victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes. In that game, they shot 46.7% from the field, 24.1% from beyond the arc, and 77.8% from the free throw line. Their offense averages 79 PPG, while their defense permits 70.9 PPG from opponents. The Ducks are asking guys to step up that haven’t been in this kind of position before. And they’re getting a ton of production all around as they enter play here on Thursday. Oregon has battled injuries to their star players constantly in 2023. They’ve been able to find their rhythm and they’re getting huge production from many different players. One in particular, Jermaine Cousinard, who went off for 27 points last time out. Still, this team is putting up big numbers and they’re taking on a USC side that is trying to find their identity. The Trojans have been extremely inconsistent and turnovers have bit them. They turned it over 15 times against Auburn a few games back as it seems to be a struggle to take care of the ball against good teams. The Ducks play with a ton of pressure and should produce a lot of turnovers. They’re one of the best at turning defense into offense, as they push out in transition and find easy buckets at the rim. Oregon is the quicker, more physical, and better team overall. Combine that with the momentum and this is a nice edge. Trends, the Ducks have covered in 2 of their L3 against USC, are 5-1 ATS in their L6, 5-0 ATS in their L5 home games, while the Trojans are 1-3 ATS in their L4, and are 2-10 SU in their L12 games at Oregon. This is a tough team to play against, and at home, they're even tougher. I'm on the Ducks tonight in their P12 opener. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-28-23 | Jets v. Browns -7 | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 56 h 53 m | Show | |
Browns -7 Week 17 is here, and on Thursday night we get the Cleveland Browns (10-5, 9-5-1 ATS) taking on the New York Jets (6-9, 5-9-1 ATS) in Amazon Prime's Thursday night football. Last game out Cleveland took down the Texans Sunday 36-22. For NYJ, they had a 27-7 halftime lead vs. the Commanders but couldn't hold the lead and only won on a late 54 yard Zuerlein FG for a 30-28 win. Cleveland has been one of the best stories in football this season. They’ve had injury after injury and now they’ve overcome just about everything. They have been playing with the next man up mentality and that’s the case here as they will enter Thursday with a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Home field advantage has been a huge part of their success and the place will be rocking Thursday. Cleveland has lost just one game at home in the 2023 season. They have won 3 straight overall and offensively this team is clicking on all cylinders. During this stretch, they’ve had performances of 31, 20, and 36 points. The 20 point game was a frantic 4th quarter comeback as well in a game where weather was a struggle. Joe Flacco has tossed for 1307 yards and 10 TD's since joining them and he’s made everyone around him better. Djoku and Cooper both are threats all over the place and they’re going to feast on this Jets defense. New York has plenty of question marks surrounding them on both sides of the ball, which should open the door for Cleveland here. The Browns will pin their ears back defensively and cause so many issues in this Jets backfield. I just don't see any way that NY stays with Cleveland in this one. I think Cleveland wins by 13-17, and with Siemian at QB I'm expecting a Browns DTS as well. Trends, Jets 1-7 ATS L8, 2-6 SU L8, and 2-9 SU L11 on the road. Browns are 6-2 ATS L8, 6-2 SU L8, 5-0 ATS L5 at home, and they're 5-1 SU L6 vs. AFC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play |

12-27-23 | Texas A&M v. Oklahoma State +2.5 | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 221 h 35 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State +2.5 On Wednesday evening Dec 27th the Texas A&M Aggies (7-5, 5-6-1 ATS) take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-4, 7-6 ATS) in the 2023 Texas Bowl from the Texans' NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. Kick off is at 9pm ET. A&M are 1-0 neutral site this season, while OKST are 0-1. Opening betting odds favored the Aggies -2 in this one, while the initial O/U total was set at 53. For straight up ML bettors you'll get Texas A&M (-136), Oklahoma State (+114). A&M owns a 18-9 series record vs. the Cowboys. The last time they played each other was 12/27/19, a 24-21 Aggies victory. Before that game, the Cowboys had won 4 straight. (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 as Big 12 foes) In recent games, the Aggies lost 42-30 to LSU but surprisingly outgained the top-ranked offense 390-389, showcasing their impressive #8 ranked defense. The Cowboys, on the other hand, suffered a 49-21 defeat against Texas in the Big 12 championship game. Despite winning 7 of 8 leading up to the championship, Oklahoma State was dominated by Texas, with the Longhorns scoring on their first 4 possessions for a decisive W. They simply were too good for OKST. Stats: Oklahoma State is ranked 51st for rushing yards and 24th for passing yards, averaging 264.2 yards per game. They score 29.5 PPG (37th) and allow the 20th fewest points. Texas A&M averages 34.2 PPG (26th) on offense and concedes 21.3 PPG (74th) on defense. Trends, Oklahoma State boasts a 6-3 ATS record in their L9 games and a 7-2 SU record during that span. They've excelled as underdogs, going 4-1 ATS in their L5 such games. In contrast, Texas A&M has struggled, with a 1-5-1 ATS record in their L7 games and 0-5-1 ATS against Oklahoma State. Additionally, Texas A&M holds a 1-4 SU record in their L5 matchups with Oklahoma State and a 3-7 ATS record in their L10 games against Big 12 conference opponents. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-27-23 | Knicks v. Thunder -3 | 120-129 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Thunder -3 NY Knicks (17-12, 9-8 AWAY, 15-12-2 ATS) take on the OKC Thunder (19-9, 11-5 HOME, 19-9 ATS), WED. Pulling the trigger on the Thunder -3 tonight vs. the Knicks in OKC. Tip Off is at 8:10pm ET. Injuries: Robinson & Sims OUT for NYK, no injuries to report for OKC. Last game out OKC took down the TWolves (yesterday) 129-106. OKC won on the back of SGA who notched 34 points, accompanied by Jalen Williams, who chipped in 21, while the Thunder drained a total of 18x 3's. Over the past 2 games, Williams has scored 49 on 18/28 shooting, boosting his avg. to 17.6 PPG from his rookie season's 14 PPG. Contributions from everyone is what OKC is getting right now. They're truly winning as a team. When Holmgren & Dort can also put up 20+, this team is scary. OKC shot 60% from the field vs. MIN. The Knicks haven't played since XMAS day. Brunson scored 38 & NY snapped Milwaukee's 7 game streak, 129-122 the final. Now NY hits the road for a roadie. OKC comes into this matchup 5th in the league in scoring at 121 PPG, while NY is 15th at 115 PPG. On D NY has the edge but it's slim, 112 PPG, to OKC's 113 PPG. OKC is 3rd in FG%, 2nd from DOWNTOWN, and they're the best FT shooting team in the Association as well. NY has the rebounding edge, but in the paint OKC is lethal on D, 3rd in steals, and blocks. The total has gone OVER the L3 times these two have played, so I'm expecting a fast-paced up and down the court game (at least to start on WED), and the way OKC is shooting right now they're going to be extremely difficult to slow down. I like them at the low number. Some trends to consider, the Knicks are 1-6-1 ATS in their L8 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7 following an ATS win. They're also 2-7 ATS L9 vs. OKC, and 3-11 SU L14 vs. OKC, and they're 4-11 SU L15 playing in OKC. OKC are 4-1 ATS L5, and 6-1 ATS L7 vs. EAST teams. Knicks are 4-5 vs. WEST teams SU.

12-27-23 | Louisville v. USC +6.5 | 28-42 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
USC +6.5 (Love +7 if you can find it) In the 2023 Directv Holiday Bowl, the Cardinals (10-3, 2-1 Neutral Site, 6-6-1 ATS) will face USC (7-5, 3-9 ATS). USC has a 1-2 record in past Holiday Bowl appearances and has never met Louisville before. The San Diego weather for game time is expected to be in the 60s to low 70s and light 5mph winds. USC appears to have the edge in explosiveness, averaging 41.8 PPG, ranking 6th nationally, and 329.8 passing yards per game, also ranking 6th. We’re on the Trojans here in the Holiday Bowl. USC had probably the most disappointing season as Caleb Williams continued to put up impressive numbers but this USC defense failed him on many occasions. From National Championship aspirations to now the Holiday Bowl with all these opt outs, the line is what it is for a reason. However, motivation is still on the side of this USC team. They have a pool of talented young players who are eager to get their shot. Truthfully, it’s better having them play than the veterans who struggled all season. The Trojans will turn to Miller Moss at QB and he’s going to take on a dejected Louisville side themselves. The Cardinals overachieved without a doubt. They however, have to be disappointed as they wanted to be playing in a New Years Six Bowl, but failed to take down Florida State in the ACC Championship game. The Cardinals sputtered down the stretch with losses to Kentucky and FSU. It’s so tough to even look at trends here given the opt outs on both sides. One thing we know though is Lincoln Riley will have this young group ready to go. This is a lot of points for a Trojans team that still has a ton of talent to go around. Trends, USC holds a 5-2 SU record in their last 7 matchups against ACC teams. I'm backing the Men Of Troy tonight. You know what to do. Fight On & Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-27-23 | Panthers -108 v. Lightning | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Panthers -108 Probable Goalies: Bobrovsky (15-9-1, 2.49 GAA, 0.909 SV%, 2 SO's) vs. Vasilevskiy (8-5, 2.76 GAA, 0.908 SV%, 1 SO) The Panthers (19-12-2, 9-7-2 AWAY) and Lightning (17-13-5, 10-3-3 HOME) clash in Florida on Wednesday night at 7pm ET (ESPN+). Florida is finding their rhythm again here. They come in off that win over Vegas in a game where they were outshooting them at one point, 33-8. That’s the Panthers team that finds success. Their ability to attack and pepper the opposing goal is where they’re at their best. This is the kind of team that loves to crash the net and will beat teams with their 2nd and 3rd shots. That’s what we expect here against this Tampa Bay side, that has been very inconsistent on the defensive end. The Lightning have conceded a lot at times and usually those come from opposing teams being far more aggressive on net. Tampa Bay is far too inconsistent to trust. They are going to get a very physical Florida side that we saw last game, who has found their mojo again. They were hitting much harder and imposing themselves vs the tentative side of things they had been playing with. The Panthers have claimed victory in their last 2 encounters (2/28/23 4-1, 2/6/23 7-1) with the Lightning and currently hold 2nd place in the Atlantic Division. Bobrovsky, the Panthers' goaltender, looked good last game out stopping 23 of 25 shots against the Knights on Saturday. In December, he has achieved a 4-3 record. He's determined to return to his impressive 2.11 GAA from November. On the other side, Vasilevskiy, made 33 saves on 34 shots against the Capitals. He's aiming for his fourth consecutive win. Never an easy task to get past the Lightning, but this rivalry of late has gone the Panthers way, and I think the Panthers have the edge tonight. Trends, Florida excels with a 15-4 SU record against Eastern Conference teams and an 11-4 SU record within the Atlantic. Their consistent performance speaks for itself. Flip it, and the Lightning are 1-4 in their L5 playing on 3 or more days rest. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NHL ML Play |

12-27-23 | North Carolina v. West Virginia -6 | 10-30 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
West Virginia -6 The 2023 Duke's Mayo Bowl will feature a showdown between the North Carolina Tar Heels (8-4, 1-0 Neutral Site, 6-6 ATS) and the West Virginia Mountaineers (8-4, 7-5 ATS). The game is scheduled for Wednesday at 5:30pm ET and will take place at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. We’re on the Mountaineers here, laying the points in this spot. North Carolina started off as one of the top teams in the NCAA, but finished with 4 losses and now have a date with the Mountaineer here in the Dukes Mayo Bowl. The key here is North Carolina will be without star QB Drake Maye and number 1 WR Devontez Walker. These two propelled the entire offense to their 8 wins and now they will have to turn to plenty of inexperienced players in this game. That doesn’t bode well against a WVU team that is extremely physical. The Mountaineers finished the season with two impressive wins over Cinci and Baylor and they won 4 of the last 5 overall. Momentum is on the side of this team that averaged 32 ppg. They will have a majority of their roster playing here and should be able to overpower this UNC side. West Virginia will lean on their rushing attack, that averages 234.3 ypg, which is one of the best marks in the NCAA. Trends, North Carolina has struggled recently, going 1-5 ATS in their L6 games and holding a 3-7 SU record in December. In contrast, West Virginia is thriving with a 4-1 SU record and a perfect 5-0 ATS record against ACC opponents. I'm backing the Mountain Men in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-26-23 | Kansas -12 v. UNLV | 49-36 | Win | 100 | 487 h 50 m | Show | |
Kansas -12 (Love -11.5 if you can find it) In Phoenix, AZ on December 26th from Chase Field it's the Guaranteed Rate Bowl featuring the Kansas Jayhawks (8-4, 5-4 Big 12, 7-5 ATS) vs. UNLV Runnin' Rebels (9-4, 6-2 MWC, 10-3 ATS). (Two basketball schools hammerin' it out on the gridiron! I can't wait!) The Jayhawks are the favorite by -12.5 (Open), and the total is set at 64.5. If you're a ML bettor (straight up, you'll see KU -466, and UNLV -347. Who's betting that? These two schools share a bit of history, although not extensive. Big 12 vs. MWC matchups are rare. Kansas and UNLV are set to meet for the third time. They previously faced off in a home-and-home series in 2002 and 2003. Kansas emerged victorious in the most recent encounter in 2003, with a score of 46-24. However, UNLV secured their inaugural matchup in Las Vegas in 2022, winning 31-20. One of my favorite teams to watch this year was the KU Jayhawks. They come into the Guaranteed Rate Bowl with some momentum too which is always a critical factor when I'm making bowl picks. I ask myself, do they have something to play for? In KU's case the answer is YES. They haven't won a bowl game in years and they have a good enough team this year to do it, and expectations are higher because of their 8 win season. They're tired of being KU basketball's little brother. They finished off their season with confidence after securing a 49-16 victory against the Cincinnati Bearcats on the road. A bowl win here would put a bow on an impressive season. They're building big things in the flatland. They're set at QB, and RB, and they have a handful of players who could even be playing on Sunday's in their future. This is a good looking football team. UNLV comes in off of a 10-win season sure, but they are limping into this one, and there's some obvious question marks for them in this game. The Rebels are coming off a defeat against the Boise State Broncos, with a final score of 44-20. They lost their last 2 in fact. It's their first bowl game in nearly 10 years too. To make matters worse, I'm reading QB Maiava is in the transfer portal, so that's another kick to the shins. Also, Barry Odom is aware there are a TON of NCAA coaching vacancies around the country, and his name is coming up for a lot of them. Money talks, and if it does he won't be around to coach this one more than likely. Trends: UNLV are 2-5 ATS in their L7 vs. B12 teams, and are 1-4 in their L5 December games. On the other side Kansas are 4-1 ATS L5, 8-4 SU L12, and 9-2 SU in their L11 playing as the FAV. I have KU as a 2-TD favorite. KU have the better QB, and they're the better team. You know what to do.

12-26-23 | Pacers +3.5 v. Rockets | 123-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Pacers +3.5 The Indiana Pacers (14-15, 14-15 ATS) take on the Houston Rockets (15-12, 17-8-2 ATS) today in NBA action. Tip off is at 8pm ET from the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. Indiana has the value here on the road, grabbing points. Indiana continues to try and find their identity early in the season as they have shown some flashes of brilliance, but also some signs of inconsistency. There’s no beating around the bush that they’re in the midst of one of those inconsistent stretches, but they match up well with the Rockets. Indiana needs to get back to what they did during their run in the in season tournament as they were clicking on all cylinders. Offensively, they are still one of the best in the league and they will lean on that. They average nearly 127 PPG as they have a lot of different playmakers. Tyrese Haliburton (24.5 ppg, 12.1 apg) and Myles Turner (17.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg) are the two that need to lead the charge here. They should be able to pick apart this Rockets defense on Tuesday night, as Houston’s defense has been up and down all season long. Indiana is the better side and we grab points here. Pacers have won 3 straight in this H2H series. The last time these two teams met was 3/9/23 a 134-125 Pacers win. Before that 11/18/22 a 99-91 Pacers win. The #1 offense in the NBA against the #2 defense. I don't think the Rockets can keep up. Trends, the Pacers are 5-2 ATS L7 vs. HOU, , plus they're 6-0 L6 Tuesday games, and 7-0 SU L7 vs. HOU. On the other side, HOU is 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. Central teams, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams. I'm hammering the Pacers +3 today. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

These two recently met on 12/1/23 a 130-125 Orlando win, so we've got some history on our side for a Magic team that was tough to put away. WSH are 2-3 in their L5 SU. Their last win was a 118-117 victory over PDX on 12/21. Orlando are 1-4 SU in their L5. Their last win was a 117-110 victory over the Pacers on 12/23. WSH comes in #10 in the NBA in PPG at 117 PPG, while Orlando is #20 at 113 PPG. Their big difference of course is on D. ORL #5 110 PPG, WSH #30 126 PPG. In addition to Kuzma is is averaging 23PPG, with a nice .468 FG%, WSH have Poole, Gafford, and Kispert who continue to get lots of minutes and they're proving to me to be guys that have great heart, hustle, and will be big contributors moving fwd. Too much turkey and stuffing yesterday, this game should be played at a slower pace than we're used to, and I'm banking on the home team having the last laugh, as they don't have the travel factor on this one. Trends, Wizards are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5 after scoring 100+ or more in prior game. They're also 4-1 ATS L5, and 10-4 ATS L14 in DEC. On the other side, the Magic are 4-9 L13 in DEC, 3-6 SU L9 vs. EAST teams, and 1-5 SU L6 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-25-23 | Ravens +6.5 v. 49ers | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Ravens +6.5 Nice 3-1-1 NFL day on Christmas Eve. XMAS DAY NFL action today. We have the (11-3, 9-5 ATS) Baltimore Ravens taking on the the (11-3, 8-6 ATS) San Francisco 49ers. Baltimore likes this matchup. The Ravens have won 5 of 7 meetings, including a 20-17 decision four years ago. Their most famous matchup: a 34-31 2012 Super Bowl win. We’re on Baltimore here, grabbing the points in what could be one of the best matchups we’ve seen all season. Two teams who are favorites in their respective conferences battle it out to cap off Christmas. Lamar Jackson is one of those QBs who thrives as an underdog. He comes in 11-2 ATS as an underdog in his career and has won 9 of those games straight up. Digging in deeper, the trends get better. He has gone 19-1 SU against NFC teams in his career. Jackson is experiencing a resurgence in his performance, reminiscent of his 2019 MVP season. With a career-high 66.3% completion rate, he's thrown 17 TD's, and aims for his third 1,000-yard rushing season. You don’t get these numbers and trends by accident. Jackson is a big time player who makes the big time plays when they’re needed. The Ravens are allowing just 16.1 PPG, which is one of the best marks in the NFL. Their ability to force the opposition into some tough third down situations and get off the field is why this team thrives. We’re facing the public here, who is backing San Fran at a huge rate on Monday. The Ravens are equally as good of a team and their ability to strike for the big play can match this 49ers side. Weather should be high 50's, low 60's at kickoff, light breeze. Trends, Baltimore boasts an impressive 11-5 ATS record in their L16 games and an 8-1 SU streak in their L9. They've dominated San Francisco with a 5-1 SU record in the L6, and on the road, they're 6-1 SU. Perfect 8-0 SU record against NFC conference L8. I'm on Lamar and the Ravens tonight. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

12-25-23 | 76ers v. Heat OVER 225.5 | 113-119 | Win | 100 | 32 h 27 m | Show | |
OVER 225.5 It's safe to say I'm anticipating a high-scoring Christmas Day matchup. On Monday at 8 p.m. ET, the 76ers (20-8, 20-8 ATS, 8-4 AWAY) will be facing off against the Heat (17-12, 13-16 ATS, 8-6 HOME) in an exciting XMAS Day matchup. Philadelphia is right up there with Boston in terms of trying to making a statement in the East. The 76ers average 122.3 PPG, which is tops in the East. Philadelphia’s attack plays through Embiid, but he’s been able to make the supporting cast even better this year. The 76ers can look to the likes of Harris (33 points last game) and Maxey (31 points last game) to help take the pressure off of Embiid. The duo continues to put up big numbers and this Phili bench can also produce. Kelly Oubre also has come up big as of late. This year he’s putting up 13 PPG and his ability to be another threat inside can cause a lot of issues for opposing defenses. Philadelphia comes in off performances of 127 and 121 in their recent wins. Miami knows they’re going to have to pick up the tempo to keep up. They put up 122 against Atlanta last time out and they’re going to have to play with that kind of pace in this one. The Heat aren’t shy about shooting the 3 and that’ll bode well here in this spot for the over. Expect scoring flurries from both sides in a game that should be back and forth all day long. The 76ers, ranked #2 in the league for offensive efficiency, are averaging an impressive 121.5 points per 100 possessions. The 76ers have seen the total go OVER in 10 of their L13, and 5 of their L6 road games. Also, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Miami's L5. I'm expecting some wide open play on XMAS day. Tons of points. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. XMAS DAY 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-25-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Lakers | 126-115 | Win | 100 | 29 h 2 m | Show | |
Celtics -2.5 XMAS Day NBA matchup between the Celtics (22-6, 14-12-2 ATS, 8-6 AWAY) vs. Lakers (17-14, 14-17 ATS, 11-3 HOME). Boston has the value here on Christmas Day. The Celtics are making it known they’re the team to beat not just in the East, but in the entire NBA. The Celtics have put up 144 and 145 points in consecutive wins as they are on a tear offensively. This team is averaging 120 PPG on the year, which is one of the best marks in the league. This team is deep. They’re getting contributions from their stars and also their bench is proving to be one of the deepest in the league. Los Angeles on the flip side is just too inconsistent to trust. This Lakers side has struggled to figure things out as injuries and inconsistent shooting has derailed this team at times. Boston is going to come at this Lakers defense from so many different angles. We’re on the Celtics to overwhelm this Lakers defense enough as they should be able to dictate the pace of play. The Celtics will lean on Tatum and Brown to produce the energy early, with the rest of the team feeding off them. Trends, during an impressive run, Boston has excelled, posting a 5-1 ATS record in their L6 and an outstanding 7-1 SU in their L8 games. Their dominance extends when facing the Lakers, with a 6-2-1 ATS record in their L9 and a 4-1 SU record in their L5 matchups. Boston has also shone against Pacific Division rivals, boasting a 7-2 SU record in their L9 encounters. In contrast, the Lakers have struggled, going 2-5 ATS in their L7 and a mere 1-4 SU in their L5 games. I'm expecting the Celtics offense to keep rolling. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-25-23 | Warriors v. Nuggets OVER 233.5 | 114-120 | Win | 100 | 27 h 37 m | Show | |
OVER 233.5 XMAS Day NBA matchup between the Golden State Warriors (15-14, 14-15 ATS, 6-8 AWAY) taking on the Denver Nuggets (21-10, 14-16-1 ATS, 11-2 HOME). Tipoff is at 2:30 p.m. ET in Denver. It's safe to say I'm anticipating a high-scoring Christmas Day matchup. Denver and Golden State should be one of the most entertaining matchups here on Christmas Day. Both teams are averaging over 115 PPG and they're going to have a lot of energy here with this being a marquee game. Christmas Day always tends to bring out the best in the stars, and both Curry and Jokic are playing at such a high level right now. Curry comes in putting up 28 PPG, while Jokic is at 26. The two have played exceptionally well as of late and we know these teams go when they do. Expect a ton of pace here on Monday. These two teams rank near the top in tempo and we're going to see a lot of quick triggers offensively. That'll benefit us with this over. Expect back and forth, end to end action, with these two sides producing a lot of open shooting lanes with the tempo. Golden State has picked things up lately too, putting up over 126 points in three straight. The Nuggets have been an offensive juggernaut this season, averaging over 1.18 points per possession. Denver is among the NBA's elite in various offensive categories, including field goal percentage, assists per game, turnovers per game, and points in the paint, consistently ranking in the top 5. Trends, Golden State has been involved in high-scoring affairs lately, with the OVER hitting in 6 of their L8 games. This trend extends to Western Conference matchups, where 4 of their L5 games went OVER. Additionally, in clashes with Northwest Division opponents and in meetings with Denver, the OVER has prevailed in 8 of their L12. I'm expecting some wide open play on XMAS day. Tons of points. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. XMAS DAY 7* NBA O/U Play |

12-25-23 | Raiders v. Chiefs OVER 40 | 20-14 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
OVER 40 XMAS DAY NFL! (6-8, 1-5 AWAY, 7-6-1 ATS) Raiders take on the (9-5, 3-3 HOME, 7-6-1 ATS) Chiefs at 1pm ET from GEHA Field at Arrowhead. Weather shouldn't be a "BIG" factor here. High 30's, 10-15mph winds, and 15% chance of precip. Late addition. Limited write-up considering it's XMAS DAY. Going to just make this a 6* play. 1-step above my free plays. Make it a small play for sure. The initial number started at 42.5 but has since dropped to 40. I'm taking this opportunity to bet on the OVER. Mahomes played well against the Raiders in Vegas, and the Chiefs need to build confidence in their passing game for the playoffs. I think Mahomes could have a game with two touchdowns and over 275 passing yards today. Pacheco is also back today for KC. Let's go with it. I'm banking on LV doing enough to help us get OVER here too. The Raiders, confident after a Thursday night victory over the Chargers, have extra rest, and should be riding high after a franchise-record 63-21 win against the Chargers on Dec. 14. Last time they met they put up 48. Trends. OVER has hit in 6 of L7 games between these two teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday XMAS DAY 6* NFL O/U Play |

12-24-23 | Patriots +6.5 v. Broncos | 26-23 | Win | 100 | 101 h 57 m | Show | |
Patriots +6.5 On Sunday night, it's the Patriots (3-11, 3-10-1 ATS) squaring off against the Broncos (7-7, 5-8-1) at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, CO. NFL Moneyline Odds show the Patriots at +223 and the Broncos at -284. As for NFL ATS odds, the Broncos are the favored side at -6.5, a bump from the initial 5.5-point spread. The Over/Under stands at 34. The last meeting dates back to 10/18/2020, where Denver secured an 18-12 win in New England. While Newton and Lock were under center in that game, this time around promises a different matchup. Denver holds a series advantage, leading 27-22 and 4-1 in postseason matchups. Recent form has the Patriots coming off a loss to the Chiefs, while the Broncos stumbled against the Lions. Taking a closer look at this game, the low total caught my attention. I don't anticipate a one-sided affair with the Broncos racking up 28+ points. Instead, I believe the Patriots can make some headway, especially on the ground, against the struggling Broncos defense. Denver's defense ranks 30th in Yards Per Game Allowed (382.4) and 31st in Run Defense (146.9 YPG). They concede an average of 25.1 PPG, placing 28th in the NFL, which plays into the Patriots' strengths. Despite Zappe's tough day against the Chiefs, he managed 240 yards and three TDs against the Steelers, showing potential. Denver's inconsistency this year raises concerns, and the Patriots' sturdy defense, yielding only 4.8 yards per play (fifth in the NFL), adds another layer to consider. We simply need to stay within a TD, so I'm leaning towards the Patriots this Sunday night. Pats are #13 in the Red Zone surprisingly, so I'm happy about that. It's a low total as I said, points will be at a premium. Trends, Denver are 2-4 ATS L6 vs. AFC East teams, and strangely 1-8 ATS L9 Week 16 matchups. Pats ATS is the play. However, I'd approach the Patriots' ML bet cautiously. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-24-23 | Cardinals v. Bears -4 | 16-27 | Win | 100 | 95 h 25 m | Show | |
Bears -4 (3-11, 1-6 AWAY, 7-7 ATS) Cardinals face the (5-9, 3-3 HOME, 6-7-1 ATS) Bears this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET in Soldier Field, Chicago, IL. Opening NFL lines show Moneyline Odds with Cardinals +179 and Bears -222. ATS, the Bears are favored by -4.5 points, with an NFL Betting Total set at O/U: 44. Their last matchup was 12/5/21, a 33-22 Cardinals win. Murray took on Dalton that day. Both teams suffered losses last week, with the Bears falling to the Browns 20-17 in a thrilling matchup, while the Cardinals faced a more significant defeat, losing 45-29 to the 49ers. In that game, the Cardinals' defense struggled to contain the 49ers' high-powered offense. The Cardinals currently rank 29th in PPG allowed 26.9 PPG and only manage to score an average of 18 PPG (#22). The Bears, on the other hand, allow an average of 23 PPG (20th). When it comes to offense, both teams have relatively similar passing and rushing statistics. However, the Bears boast a formidable defense. They hold the top spot in rush defense, allowing just 79.8 YPG, although they are ranked 26th against the pass, conceding 239 YPG. The Bears' defense is also third in the NFL in forcing turnovers, and they possess a decent pass rush (at home they're obviously even better). Despite the Bears' recent loss, there are positive signs in Chicago. The team played well against the Browns, nearly winning on that spectacular Mooney "hail Mary" play. Justin Fields remains a topic of discussion as a potential franchise QB. The Cardinals' game plan usually revolves around running the ball when playing outside of Arizona, where their games tend to end with totals in the 30s. However, this week, facing the Bears' top-notch run defense, their ability to run effectively is in question. With the Cardinals ranking last in DVOA and surrendering the second-most points 26.9 PPG, it's challenging to see how they can generate sufficient offense. While the Cardinals are no longer in playoff contention, the Bears maintain a slim chance of making the postseason, as no team in the NFC North has clinched. They have won two of their last three games, and the team appears to be buying into Eberflus' coaching. Hopefully, the Chicago weather adds an extra challenge, with current predictions indicating a mild 51 degrees but potentially dropping into the 40s with lakefront winds. The Bears are a team that refuses to give up on their season, and I'm leaning heavy toward the -4. Trends, AZ 3-17 SU L20, 2-11 SU vs. NFC teams, and 1-5 L6 vs. NFC North teams. Plus they're 2-6 ATS L8 DEC games. The Bears are 4-2 L6 ATS, 4-0-1 L5 vs. NFC teams, and 3-0-1 L4 after allowing 90 YDS rushing in prior game. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-24-23 | Cowboys v. Dolphins -1.5 | 20-22 | Win | 100 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
Dolphins -1.5 The Cowboys (10-4, 9-5 ATS) and Dolphins (10-4, 9-5 ATS) are set to clash in a Week 16 showdown on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Dallas lost to the Bills 31-10 on Sunday, while the Dolphins rebounded from a Week 14 setback with a 30-0 win over the New York Jets (covering a -7 spread). Over their last 4 games, Miami is 3-1 straight up and 3-1 against the spread (ATS). The Dolphins are looking to improve their home record to 7-1. In their series history, including 1 postseason game, the Cowboys and Dolphins have played 15 times with Dallas ahead 8-7. That includes 4 straight Dallas wins and 3 straight in Miami. On defense, the Cowboys are currently positioned 13th in tackles for loss and 8th in sacks. Against them, opponents are scoring an average of 18.9 PPG and gaining 294.3 YPG. The Cowboys are 0-5 in their last 5 games as an underdog. In the Dolphins' win over the Jets, the Dolphins controlled the time of possession at 36:21 to 23:39 for the Jets. If they can replicate that, they'll come out on top in this one. Their defense is top flight as well. In terms of yards allowed, the Dolphins are 5th in the league while giving up 293.4 YPG. Miami's defense has allowed 21 PPG, placing them 13th. I think Dallas is going to have trouble containing the Miami run game. Mostert and Achane are going to have some big holes. Look at what Buffalo did to Dallas last week. The blueprint is now out there on how to beat this Cowboys team. The Cowboys were pushed all over the field in the loss to Buffalo and allowed 266 rushing yards. Hill leads the NFL with 1,542 yards and also has 97 catches and 12 TD receptions. He was limited in practice on Friday and listed as questionable. You know he's playing in this one! I like Miami to win without Hill, with Hill, I love this play. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-24-23 | Packers v. Panthers UNDER 36.5 | 33-30 | Loss | -110 | 93 h 45 m | Show | |
UNDER 36.5 NFL Week 16 features a matchup between the (6-8, 2-5 AWAY, 7-7 ATS) Packers and the struggling (2-12, 2-4 HOME, 4-9-1 ATS) Panthers at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. The game will be televised on FOX, and the current betting odds have the Packers as -4.5 favorites with a ML of -231, while the Panthers stand at +184. The over/under for the game is set at 36. Last week was a tough one for the Packers as they faced disappointment at home, losing 34-20 to the Bucs. Love couldn't make 'that play' needed for a victory. The Packers, however, have a historical edge over the Panthers, winning 11 out of 17 matchups. In their last two meetings in 2019 and 2020, Green Bay emerged victorious. When it comes to scoring on the road, the Packers have been averaging 23.1 points per game. However, the Packers offense have struggled on the road compared to their home games. On the other side, the Panthers secured an unlikely win in front of an empty stadium and unfavorable weather conditions last week, ending a 6-game losing streak. The final score was 9-7, highlighting their offensive struggles. Carolina has not scored more than 18 in the last 5 games, averaging just 14.7 PPG, placing them 26th in the NFL. Bryce Young, the Panthers' rookie QB, has thrown 9 TD's and 9 INT's this season, reflecting his challenging debut. Expect a game where both teams feature their running backs, Hubbard and Jones, with moderate success. Neither team has been efficient in the red zone, with the Packers ranking 22nd and the Panthers at 29th in this aspect. Trends, the UNDER has hit in 7 of CAR's L8, and Under is 6-0 in Panthers L6 home games, 4-0 in CAR L4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and the UNDER is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.0.

Seahawks -3 The Seahawks (7-7, 7-6-1 ATS) are set to clash with the Titans (5-9, 6-8 ATS) this Sunday at Nissan Stadium, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). The Seahawks on MNF snapped a 4 -game losing streak with a comeback 20-17 win over the Eagles. This win holds significance for a Seattle team still aiming to secure a playoff spot. Now, they travel to Tennessee, where a win would push their record above .500 at 8-7, with 2 games left to play. In their 18 meetings, starting in 1977, Seattle holds a 10-8 edge in the series, but the Titans have won the last 2 (2017, 2021) and 3 of the last 4. Geno Smith has no injury designation and is set to return this week, providing stability for the Seahawks. On the flip side, the Titans enter the weekend with significant injuries. Titans' rookie quarterback Will Levis, the team's starter, is questionable for the game against the Seahawks. If he can't play, veteran Ryan Tannehill will step in. The key for the Seahawks is to stop the Titans' run game, especially Henry, who had a dismal performance last week with only 10 yards from scrimmage. Seattle has the blueprint to stifle the Titans' ground attack, relying on big defensive tackles like Leonard Williams and Jarren Reed. The Seahawks' season is on the line, and they are poised to step up BIGTIME. Additionally, the Seahawks boast a better turnover ratio and score more points per game (PPG) than the Titans. Tennessee's offensive struggles in the second half, averaging just 7.8 PPG, rank them 28th in the league. With weapons like Walker III, Charbonnet, Bobo, Metcalf, Lockett, Smith-Njigba, and a strong tight end package, the Seahawks have the advantage. Expect a Seahawks win on Sunday. Give the points. They'll cover the 3. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

OKC -3 LA (16-14, 13-17 ATS, 5-11 AWAY) visit OKC (18-8 ATS, 10-4 HOME, 18-7-1 ATS) today at 8:10pm ET. Two teams heading in opposite directions: LAL's struggles continue post-tournament win, losing 4 straight and 5 of 6, while the Thunder surge with 3 consecutive wins and 15 of the last 20 before facing the Lakers in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City has the value here, laying the number at home against LA. The Lakers have been inconsistent. Coming into play here, they had won 4 of 5, but then went into a skid of losing 5 of their last 6. They have struggled to find any sort of consistency on either end of the floor really. Their inability to slow teams down has become very concerning. They come into this game giving up 114 ppg. However, they have allowed over that number in 5 of the last 6 games, with the lone one being right at that 114 point mark. The Thunder are on the opposite side in their current run. They've won in 5 of the last 6 games and come in off a 134 point performance against the Clippers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the catalyst, putting up 30.7 points per game. Overall, this Thunder offense has not backed down from anyone, putting up over 120 ppg. They come in 18-8 ATS this season and they matchup very well with the Lakers. We're backing the better team, at a small number here on Saturday. Trends, LAL 1-5 ATS L6, 1-5 SU L6, 3-7 SU L10 vs. NW DIV teams. On the other side, OKC 4-1 ATS L5, 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 12-3 L15 vs. WEST Teams. I'm all over OKC today! Let's Do This! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-23-23 | Utah -6 v. Northwestern | 7-14 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 45 m | Show | |
Utah -6 Utah (8-4, 6-5-1 ATS) take on the Northwestern Wildcats (7-5, 8-4 ATS) on Saturday at 7:30pm ET from Allegiant Stadium in LV. These two last played on 12/31/18. A 31-20 NW win that saw NW cover the +6.5 Saturday however, the Utes are the move here, laying the points in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl. Northwestern lacks the level of coaching expertise that Utah benefits from. Kyle Whittingham is widely regarded as one of the top head coaches in the nation. Prior to the 2023 season, he expressed confidence that the 2023 Utah team was the most talented they had ever assembled. Despite facing numerous injuries Utah has a clear cut advantage here on Saturday night. For starters, the Utes are going to have the advantage when it comes to the fan base in this stadium. Utah already travels well and with this being in Vegas, there should be plenty of red in the crowd. Northwestern just doesn't have any sort of fire power on their side. This team averages just 22.8 points per game, while putting up just over 300 yards per game. This offense has struggled to find any sort of consistency here in 2023 and they go up against one of the best defenses in the nation. Utah has allowed under 20 ppg and they love to put together a lot of different blitz packages. Utah's offense battled all year, they only really looked bad in 1 game (Oregon), but they continued to find consistency and put up good numbers. This is going to be a mismatch every which way you look at it. Utah is much better on both sides of the ball and they'll feed off this "home" crowd energy. NW are 3-6 L9 vs. PAC 12 teams, and 4-13 SU L17 as a DOG. The Utes are 14-6 SU L20, 5-0 SU L5 in DEC, 7-3 L10 SU vs B10 schools, and are 15-5 SU L20 playing on a Saturday. Backing the Utes -6. Enjoy the game! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl ATS Play |

Wild +105 Probable Goalies: Ullmark (10-4-2, 2.85 GAA, 0.912 SV%) vs. Gustavsson (9-8-2, 2.90 GAA, 0.904 SV%, 2 SO's) 7pm ET we get the Boston Bruins (19-6-6, 9-4-3 AWAY) taking on the Minnesota Wild (14-13-4, 8-4-2 HOME). Bruins come in losers of 3 in a row. 5-1 to the Jets, 4-3 to the Wild on 12/19, and 2-1 to the Rangers. Wild come in on a heater. Last game out a 4-3 win over MTL, before that the win over Boston (in OT, a game where Fleury made 40 saves), squeeze in a loss to PIT, and we had 3 wins in a row before that over VAN, CAL, and SEA. Gustavsson is in the zone. In the previous game, he faced 25 shots and let in 3 goals in a 4-3 overtime victory against Montreal last Thursday. He's been on a winning streak, securing 5 W's in his last 6 starts. Despite a tough start to the year, the 25-year-old netminder has gone 7-2-0 with a .936 save percentage over his past 9. Boston comes into this one in a rut (finally), they were taken down 5-1 on Friday night by the Jets, then have to travel to Minnesota for a B2B on Saturday. Not a long trip, but nonetheless a trip. The Bruins were terrible, losing constant 1v1 battles, and Swayman didn't look good letting in 5 on 28 shots. Trends, Bruins are 1-4 SU L5. Wild 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 SU L5 at home. 4 of Boston's L6 games have gone to OT. I'm backing the hotter team on home ice on Saturday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Duquesne -2.5 The Dukes (8-2, 4-6 ATS) take on the SC Broncos (8-5, 4-7-1 ATS) on Saturday at 5pm ET. We're on Duquesne here, as they lay a small number here against Santa Clara. I will forever think of Santa Clara as Steve Nash's old team, and boy could they use him today! This is going to be the kind of game where Duquesne lean on their top tier defense to cause a lot of issues for Santa Clara. Coming into play here, the Dukes are allowing just 68.9 ppg. They have put together some solid performances as of late coming into play here. During this 4 game winning streak, they have allowed 66, 72 59, and 67 points against in those games. They're playing with a lot of confidence right now and their ability to force turnovers has led them to some easy transition buckets. Santa Clara is going to have their hands full and they come in on a low as they fell to San Jose State in their latest contest. They are going to be at a mismatch here, as their offense isn't powerful enough to overcome this high pressure attack. Duquesne will mix in man to man and a zone, while closing out on shooters quickly. They're going to overwhelm this Broncos side in a game where they have the advantage. We're backing the team with more weapons here on both ends of the floor. Dukes are 5-1 L6 SU, and SC are 1-4-1 ATS L6, and 1-4 SU L5, and 1-5 SU L6 in DEC. You know what to do. I'm on the Dukes give the points. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-23-23 | Bengals v. Steelers +2.5 | 11-34 | Win | 100 | 71 h 40 m | Show | |
Steelers +2.5 This Saturday, AFC North rivals clash at Acrisure Stadium as the Bengals (8-6, 6-6-2 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) take on the Steelers (7-7, 7-7 ATS, 4-4 HOME) in a pivotal battle. Last week, PIT had a forgettable outing, suffering a 30-13 defeat at the hands of Indy. Meanwhile, the Bengals secured a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Vikes, with Browning delivering a stellar performance in the 4th and OT (184 YDS, 2 TD’s). In PPG the Bengals rank 14th, averaging 21.93, while the Steelers are 28th with 15.9 PPG. Defensively, the Bengals allow 22.21 PPG (20th), while the Steelers, known for turnovers, rank 9th, conceding just 20 PPG. As for QBs, Browning starts for the Bengals despite a right forearm issue. For the Steelers, Mason Rudolph, 'battle-tested' and on a '1-year-playing-3rd-string-QB-for-another-contract' contract, makes his first start in nearly 2 Years. In their prior meeting this season, the Steelers won 16-10, covering the -2 point spread. Back in Week 12, the Steelers dominated, outgaining the Bengals by nearly 200 YDS. The Steelers' defense, allowing an average of 20 PPG, will aim to shut down key Bengals players like Mixon and Higgins. With Chase expected to miss the game this task is a little easier. Plus, Browning hasn't yet faced a robust defense led by TJ Watt in the midst of the fervent Pittsburgh crowd. PIT need to get their run-game involved again. Warren & Najee need more touches. This 62 and 72 Rush YPG nonsense needs to stop. It will this week! Play with the lead, run the ball, increase your RB's touches. It's easy math. If all else fails, the Steelers defense WILL win this game for Rudolph & Tomlin (there's all sorts of "feels" in this one. I'm backing the Steelers as home underdogs to secure the win. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-23-23 | James Madison v. Air Force +1.5 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 66 h 51 m | Show | |
Air Force +1.5 The Armed Forces Bowl on December 23, 2023, features a matchup between the (11-1, 8-4 ATS) James Madison Dukes and the (8-4, 4-7-1 ATS) Air Force Falcons. The game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET and will be broadcasted on ABC. In their last appearance, the Dukes secured a dominant 56-14 win against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. On the other hand, the Falcons faced a 27-19 loss to the Boise State Broncos. Air Force has the value here, with the points. James Madison was the Cinderella story of the season. They went 11-1 and had the entire nation watching them as they even got College Gameday to come out their way. (Granted that was their lone loss of the year) However, despite a good season, the Dukes have been hit with a lot of departures prior to this game. For starters, head coach Curt Cignetti departed for Indiana and they’ll now have their offensive line coach calling the shots for this game. They’re going to get a look at this triple option from Air Force and it’ll be something they’ve not seen this season. That’ll cause a lot of issues for them, especially with the Falcons getting healthy. QB Zac Larrier will be back after missing the last two games. He’ll lead this attack that ranked second among FBS teams in total rushing yards (3,309) and rushing yards per game (275.8) during the regular season. The triple option will open a lot of gaps on this JMU defense that will get worn down. Plus, this is the 7th time Air Force will be playing in the Armed Forces bowl. The experience is there and on this side. Trends, AF are 5-1 ATS L6 in DEC, and are 4-0 ATS in their L4 bowl games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-23-23 | Bucks v. Knicks +2.5 | 130-111 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Knicks +2.5 The Milwaukee Bucks (21-7, 12-15-1 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) are set to take on the New York Knicks (16-11, 14-11-2 ATS, 7-3 HOME) this Saturday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time and can be watched on NBA TV, with the action happening at Madison Square Garden. Bucks lead the season series 2-0, but the Knicks are 3-1 ATS in their L4. New York has secured consecutive W's, with their latest being a 121-102 W over the Nets on Wednesday, where they covered the 1.5 on the road. In their last 2, the Knicks have managed to keep their opponents to under 110 PPG, and they have also won 3 consecutive home games. These two will also matchup on XMAS Day in a B2B. For MIL. Crowder is OUT, Giannis and Beauchamp are probable. For NY M. Robinson is OUT as is Sims. Knicks went 3-2 on their recent road trip. Finishing off with wins over the Lakers, and then the Nets. Plus they had that great win over the Suns where Brunson went off for 50. For Knicks to cover in this one they need to play on the glass the way they're capable. They're ranked #3 on the OFF glass and the more second chance putbacks they can get in this one the better their chances. Bucks are a great offensive team, but the #7 ranked Knicks have their own brand of D they play, and they will make you work for your shots, so hoping we get a motivated Knicks team on SAT. Trends, NYK are 3-0-1 ATS L4 when playing as a home underdog from 0.5->4.5pts. NYK 4-2 ATS L6, 4-2 SU L6, 7-1 SU L8 home games, and 11-5 ATS L16 vs. Central DIV teams. Last one, Knicks are 10-5 SU L15 games on a SAT at home. I'm taking NYK +2.5. They win, and just watch I'll likely bet the Bucks on XMAS. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-23-23 | Duke v. Troy OVER 44.5 | 17-10 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
OVER 44.5 Troy (11-2, ATS) takes on the Duke Blue Devils (7-5, ATS) in the 76 Birmingham Bowl Saturday. Kick-off at NOON ET from Protective Stadium in Birmingham, AL. Duke won the last meeting between these two in 2014 34-17, hardly relevant to this matchup, but felt like telling you! LOL These are two teams that tend to open the playbook during bowl season. Looking at historic trends of Troy in bowl games, they love to push the issue. The Overs have hit in 8 of the 9 Troy bowl games in their history of the program. The Trojans have also been on a tear lately with the over. Over their last 4 games of the year, they averaged 40 points per game themselves as this offense has been clicking on all cylinders. The Trojans averaged 32 points per game this year and their ability to strike for the big play will help this total out. On the other side of things, Duke has been equally as good on hitting overs in bowl games. The Blue Devils have hit the over in 5 of the last 6 bowl games and they went over this number in their final 4 games of the season. Duke averaged 28 points per game this season and they tend to really open the playbook and take their shots in games like this. Look for plenty of action and fireworks, with this low total going over. The total score has gone OVER in the L5 of Duke's most recent 6 matches, and the OVER has hit in 4 of Troy's L5. Plus, Over is 5-0 in Blue Devils L5 bowls as a dog, it's also 5-0 in Trojans last 5 neutral site games as a favorite, and it's 5-0 in Troy's L5 bowls as a FAV. Lastly the total has gone OVER in Troy's L4 following a SU win. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* 76 Birmingham Bowl CFB O/U Play |

12-22-23 | Maryland v. UCLA -3.5 | 69-60 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
UCLAÂ -3.5 Maryland (7-4, 3-8 ATS) take on UCLA (5-5, 3-6-1 ATS) tonight. We're on the Bruins, who are in need of a win here on Friday night. If UCLA wants any chance in March at an at large bid, they're going to need to figure out how to get some signature wins and this one would go a long way. The Bruins limp in here, but this team isn't as bad as they appear on paper. The Bruins fell to then #4 Marquette by only 2 and then #11 Gonzaga by 4. Combine that with a loss to Ohio State by 7 and this team has been close in a lot of big games. The thing about UCLA is they have the talent to compete with anyone and this is the time for their key players to step up. G Sebastian Mack had 27 points last time out and he is the engine for this team. When he goes and is on, this team will go. They'll need the supporting cast, which includes Adem Bona figuring himself out. He's the key piece to this offense that'll get the supporting cast going and he should come out with some fire after his poor game last time out. Maryland only scores 73 points per game and they've been far too inconsistent to trust. They travel across the country here and will have issues with the speed of the Bruins. MD are 3-9 ATS L12, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. UCLA, plus they're 1-4 SU L5 vs. UCLA, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. UCLA are 19-1 L20 at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 when playing on a Friday @ home! Back the Bruins -3.5. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-22-23 | Nuggets v. Nets +4.5 | 122-117 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
Nets +4.5 The Nuggets (19-10, 13-15-1 ATS, 8-8 AWAY) face the Nets (13-14, 17-9-1 ATS, 8-6 HOME) on Friday night at the Barclays Center, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30pm ET (NBA TV). Denver, currently on their 17th road game, shares the NBA's lead in this category with the Knicks. The reigning champions, the Nuggets, boast a 19-10 record for the season, having secured back-to-back wins leading up to this matchup. On the other hand, the Nets find themselves at 13-14 overall and are eager to break a 4-game losing streak. Brooklyn stands out with an impressive 3-point shooting % of 38.4% and an average of 14.7 3-pointers per game. Additionally, the Nets excel in offensive and defensive rebounding. Denver's recent performance has been solid, winning 5 of their last 6 games, including a 113-104 victory over the Raptors on Wednesday, where they covered as a 3.5-point favorite. In their last game, the Nets suffered a 121-102 loss to the Knicks, failing to cover as 1.5-point underdogs. It's worth noting that the Nets had a strong ATS record before their recent setbacks, going 6-1 in a 7-game stretch from November 25 to December 8. Regardless of record, I like the way they've been playing of late, and I think they have the pieces needed tonight to run with Denver. (Whether Gordon plays or not, I'm hearing he'll play). They're tough to beat at home, and they're a good squad ATS. When BKN played DEN last game out they shot just over 40% overall and 26% from 3. I'm confident Brooklyn will do better than that tonight, and if they don't turn the ball over so much (like they did in that one) this game stays close. Back the home dogs! BKN are 9-3 ATS L12 at home. PLUS, they LOVE Friday hoops in the City. 16-4 SU L20 on Friday's! You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-22-23 | Central Florida -6 v. Georgia Tech | 17-30 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
UCF -6 Two 6-6 teams battle it out here on Friday. (GT 7-5 ATS) (UCF 5-7 ATS) We’re on UCF here, laying the points in the Gasparilla Bowl on Friday night. UCF has made a living on this field in bowl season over the recent seasons. They are in search of their third Gasparilla Bowl win over the last five seasons, as they’re extremely familiar with this bowl game and field. That does play into the advantage side of things as the experience of being in this environment does factor in. UCF comes in 6-6 after winning their final game of the season to clinch a spot in bowl season. They’ve had a few impressive wins down the stretch of the season that saw them go 3-1 over their last 4, including an absolute dominant performance over #15 Oklahoma State 45-3. QB John Rhys Plumlee has battled injuries, but over his last 6 starts he’s compiled 10 touchdowns through the air and rushed for 310 yards and another 4 touchdowns on the ground. The Knights will also lean on RJ Harvey, who compiled nearly 1300 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns this year. Georgia Tech threw everything they had and then some in their finale against Georgia, only to fall short. The Yellow Jackets conceded over 30 points per game and this fast paced attack from UCF is going to cause a lot of issues for them. This will be the kind of game that Georgia Tech struggles to contain the speed and ultimately they falter because they’re not built to come from behind. GT are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. AAC teams, UCF 12-5 L17 playing at a FAV. You know what to do. UCF -6. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday Gasparilla Bowl 8* CFB ATS Play |

12-21-23 | Wizards v. Blazers -4 | 118-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Blazers -4 A little west coast late night action here today. I'm sorry I release these NBA plays so late in the day but you can blame the NBA for that. Some days are better than others, but most of the time I can't release an NBA play the night before, or even early in the AM. It's just not possible with the way the league releases team news and injury information. It's a gong show. The Wizards (4-22, 13-13 ATS) are heading to the Moda Center to take on the Trail Blazers (7-19, 13-13 ATS) at 10 pm ET. Portland has recently shown signs of improvement, particularly with their impressive victory over the Suns. They put an end to their 7-game losing streak with a hard fought 109-104 win. Successfully covering the 7.5-point spread as home underdogs. While they've struggled on the road, the Trail Blazers are now 7-19 for the season. My X-factor tonight. Anfernee Simons, the true game-changer. He's back and in outstanding form, consistently netting 24+ points over the last 6 games. The only hiccup was a 9-point outing against Utah last week. I'm not sure the WIZ will have an answer for him. Versus Washington, Portland has won 7 of the past 9 meetings, but the Wizards prevailed 126-101 in Portland in the last matchup on Feb. 14. On the other hand, the Wizards (4-22) have been facing challenges, especially when playing away from home. They are on a 0-2 losing streak during their four-game Western swing, which will conclude against the Warriors on Friday. The Wizards lost 112-108 to the Suns and suffered a 143-131 loss to the Kings in their most recent game, where they surprisingly managed to cover as 14.5-point road underdogs. The Wizards aren't showing much concern on the defensive end, allowing 120-plus points in 8 of their last 9 games overall. Washington holds a 0-6 win-loss record on the road in their last 6 outings, with a 3-3 ATS performance. I can't in good conscience do anything here but back PDX. Is it crazy that both teams are 13-13 ATS? Trends, WIZ are 2-17 SU L19, 0-6 ATS L6 vs. PDX on the road, and 2-7 ATS L9 vs. PDX. 1-5 L6 vs. West Teams. For PDX, 8-4 ATS L12. Anyways, I'm on PDX tonight. I'll be watching this game just so I can listen to Kevin Calabro go crazy. (My fav. NBA announcer) You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-21-23 | Kent State v. Oregon -6.5 | 70-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Oregon -6.5 Kent State (7-2, 1-0 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) take on Oregon (7-3, 5-0 HOME, 6-4 ATS) The Ducks have been a good bounce back team this season. They’re wrapping up their non conference schedule here against a Kent team that has been hot and cold throughout the beginning of this season. Oregon has been battling injuries but this team still has put up some impressive numbers. They’re going to lean on G Jackson Shelstad here. He put in 16 points in the game against the Orange and right now he is the most dangerous scorer on this Oregon side with the injuries they’re dealing with. Still, they matchup well with Kent State, who has been inconsistent at times. This team likes to play fast, but after losing their top 3 scorers this past offseason, they’re still trying to find their identity. G Reggie Bass transferred in after being named MAC Freshman of the year and he simply has not been able to fit in and was moved to the bench. Kent’s defense has lacked at times as well and this Oregon team can expose their flaws in the paint. The Golden Flashes have struggled rebounding and the Ducks will try and crash the glass here. Kent hasn’t played in well over a week and the rust will show in this one. Trends, UO are 4-1 ATS L5, 13-5 SU L18, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 7-0 SU L7 vs. MAC Teams. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-21-23 | Saints v. Rams -4 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 31 h 25 m | Show | |
Rams -4 (7-7, 4-9-1 ATS) Saints face the Rams (7-7, 8-5-1 ATS) in a Thursday Night Football clash on Amazon Prime. Kickoff: 8:15 PM ET at SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California. NFL Week 16 ATS Betting Lines favor the Rams by -4 points, with Moneyline Odds at New Orleans +170 and Los Angeles -207. The Over/Under stands at 44.5. Last season, the Saints triumphed over the Rams 27-20. The Rams have won 4 of their last 5, maintaining playoff hopes with a 28-20 victory over the Commanders. The Saints face a daunting task, contending with the Rams' formidable offense. Nacua and Kupp pose threats, while Williams, nearing 500 rushing yards post-IR return, exploits the Saints' weakness, allowing nearly 5.0 YPC (bottom 3). Attwell's potential return and Robinson's contributions strengthen the Rams further. The Saints struggle against tight ends, making Higbee a viable option. Stafford could surpass 250 passing yards by halftime. New Orleans ranks #21 in red zone offense, confronting a sturdy Rams defense. The Saints have scored 19 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 road games. If they settle for field goals while the Rams convert in the red zone we'll have an easy cover. The Rams' defense allows 226.1 passing yards and 110.8 rushing yards per game, ranking 14th in sacks. With all this in mind, I'm going with the Rams. The Saints travelling on a short week, and we're unsure about Olave, so trusting Carr on the road isn't the best call. Trends, NOS 4-10-1 ATS L15, 4-8 ATS L12 vs. LAR, and 0-6 ATS L6 on the road vs. LAR. On the other side, the Rams are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, and are 9-3 L12 vs. NFC South teams. You know what to do.

12-21-23 | Syracuse v. South Florida +3 | 0-45 | Win | 100 | 30 h 30 m | Show | |
USF +3 (6-6, 6-5 ATS) The USF Bulls take on the Syracuse Orange (6-6, 4-7 ATS) in the 2023 Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl this Thursday at 8 PM ET. The game will be held at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, FL, and the ATS Betting Lines favor Syracuse at -3. For the Boca Raton Bowl Moneyline Odds, USF is at +132, and Syracuse is at -160. The College Football Betting Total is set at O/U 61. This year's bowl games have been full of uncertainties, but this matchup seems less affected. USF has only one player in the transfer portal, Summerall, who is ruled out for this game. USF has proven they can play good football, coming off a convincing 48-14 win over Charlotte. Their offense averages 185.2 rushing yards per game and 4 yards per attempt, ranking 36th in rushing yards and 34th in passing yards nationally, with an average of 270.7 yards per matchup. They've been putting up 30.8 points per game, thanks to their QB, Byrum Brown, who boasts 3,078 passing yards, 23 TDs, 11 INTs, 745 rushing yards, and 11 TDs on the ground, placing them 44th in the nation. On the other side, Syracuse, who recently beat Wake Forest 35-31, will have an interim coach, Nunzio Campanile, leading them. Syracuse had a bit of some drama unfold prior to them being put into this spot. They decided to part ways with coach Dino Babers after a very inconsistent and sub par season. The Orange's starting QB, Garrett Shrader, is out for the Boca Raton Bowl due to shoulder surgery, and Braden Davis will start in his place. Boca Raton isn't that long of a trip so they'll have good support. (Compared to Cuse) I wouldn't even have a problem with you sprinkling a little on USF's moneyline odds here. USF needed a win over Charlotte in their last game and they got it in dominant fashion as they put them away 48-14. It was a complete win for them as they threw for 315 yards and ran for 188. This team runs a balanced attack and they use their run game to open up the pass game. USF is built with speed and they’ll try to get to the outside and make some big plays. USF has the better playmakers and getting points is a nice spot for this Bulls side. Trends, SYR 2-6 ATS L8, 2-6 SU L8, 2-8 ATS L10 vs. USF, and 5-11 ATS L16 vs. AAC Teams. Last time these two met was a 45-20 USF win on 9/17/2016. I'm expecting more of the same. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CFB ATS Play |

12-21-23 | Canucks +122 v. Stars | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 34 m | Show | |
Canucks +122 Probable Goalies: DeSmith 6-2-2, 2.44 GAA, 0.920 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Wedgewood (7-1-2, 3.21 GAA, 0.906 SV%) (Both Unconfirmed) Once again you're giving me the Canucks at plus money. I have to take these odds. In a face-off between the Canucks (22-9-2) and the Stars (18-8-4), it's evident that these Canucks are a new breed. Their recent 5-2 victory in Nashville propelled them to an impressive 22-9-2 record this season, 46 points over 33 games, placing them 13 games over .500. The sheer talent on their roster is unparalleled this season, featuring standout performances from Boeser, Hughes, Lafferty, Pettersson, Mikheyev, and Miller. Miller, in particular, shines with 15 goals and 30 assists, while Boeser has netted 6 goals and contributed 5 assists in the last 10 games. The icing on the cake is Thatcher Demko's remarkable goaltending, leading the league in wins. In his recent outing against Chicago, Demko made 25 saves, securing a 4-3 win. The Canucks' key to success lies in their consistent ability to score 4 or more goals, providing solid support for their netminders. The backup option, DeSmith, is no slouch either, having stopped 26 of 28 shots, leading the Canucks to a 5-2 triumph over the Predators. On the Dallas front, they boast a 9-5-1 home record and an 18-8-4 overall standing. The Stars have asserted themselves as a force to be reckoned with, ranking 6th in the league with 105 total goals, averaging 3.5 goals per game. ONE BIG PROBLEM though. Jake Oettinger is expected to only be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. No Bueno! He's their #1 for a reason. This matchup marks the second clash between these two teams, with the Canucks winning 2-0 in game 1. Trends, VAN are 6-1 SU L7, 7-0 SU L7 vs. Dallas, 4-1 SU L5 IN DALLAS, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. WEST teams. Dallas are 1-5 SU L6 vs. Pacific division teams. I'm backing the Nucks on Thursday night.

12-21-23 | Hurricanes -120 v. Penguins | 1-2 | Loss | -120 | 24 h 13 m | Show | |
Canes -120 Probable Goalies: Kochetkov (7-6-2, 2.65 GAA, 0.895 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Jarry (9-11-2, 2.61 GAA, 0.913 SV%, 3 SO's) Hurricanes (17-12-3, 8-10 AWAY) vs. Penguins (14-13-13, 7-6-1 HOME) Thursday 7 pm ET puck drop from Pittsburgh. This one opened with the Canes at -118 on the ML and Pens at -102. Sportsbooks obviously think this will be a close matchup. I do too, but I think the Canes will get it done. They're looking to extend their point streak to 6 games (3-0-2). I watched their game very closely the other night as I had the Knights on the ML in that matchup. Carolina matched their highest-scoring game of the season with a 6-3 win. These Canes are a tough team to play against. They'll come at you in waves for 60 minutes never taking a shift off, and they're very disciplined in every facet of their game. Coach Brind'Amour has done a nice job molding this team into what he wants an NHL team to look like. Canes are 14th in goals at 3.28 GPG, 2nd in shots, 9th on the PP, 13th killing penalties, and have a GAA of 3.19, good for 17th in the NHL. In that last game Svechnikov, Staal, Kotkaniemi and Jarvis also scored, and Aho had three helpers. Also last game out Kochetkov made 30 saves in Tuesday's win. 3-0-1 over his last 4 starts and hasn't allowed more than 3 goals in any of his last 7. On the other side for the Pens they beat the Wild 4-3 on Monday. Jarry didn't play in that one. But he did play Saturday in a 7-0 loss. Jarry allowed 4 goals on 14 shots. This month has been tough on Jarry, who has recorded a 1-3-1 record with 14 goals allowed. The Pens are 24th in scoring, and they're 9th in GAA at 2.77. I'm not overly confident about the Penguins in this one. Trends, Canes are 5-0 L5 vs. PIT, 4-1 L5 on the road vs PIT, and 10-5 L15 vs. Met. Division teams. The eye test tells me the Canes are the hotter team right now, and they'll be up for this road matchup Thursday night. I'm backing Carolina on the ML. You know what to do! Hop ON!

12-21-23 | Colgate v. Iona -1 | 65-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Iona -1 Colgate (6-5, 5-5 ATS, 1-3 AWAY) take on Iona (4-7, 2-2 HOME, 5-6 ATS) tonight. 7pm ET tip off from the Hynes Athletics Center. Iona is at a nice number in this situational spot. The Gaels need to turn things around after what’s been a very underwhelming start to the year. However, this team is well coached and this is the perfect spot for them to get things rolling again. They have seen a bit of a turnaround going 2-2 over their last 4 games and in the two wins, it’s been the defense that has stepped up. They’re giving up 72.5 ppg, but in the two wins, they allowed just 67 and 54 points against. This is the kind of game where they can turn that defensive pressure up against an inconsistent Colgate team. Colgate has looked good at times, but also has struggled on the offensive end in some of their losses this year. On the road, it’s been a similar story as they just can’t find that consistency. They average just over 70 points a game and they’re going to play at a slower pace which will favor this Iona side. The Gaels will look for Idan Tretout to step up as he’s the key to this offense going. When he goes, the Gaels feed off his energy. Back Iona tonight -1. Trends, COL are 3-9 ATS L12 in DEC. Iona are 17-3 SU L20 at home, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Patriot league teams. Plus, they're 16-4 L20 December matchups. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-20-23 | North Carolina v. Oklahoma +3 | 81-69 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 25 m | Show | |
Oklahoma +3 The Sooners carry their undefeated streak here into the Jumpman Invitational on Wednesday. In the other game of this invitational we backed Florida, who got us a victory on Tuesday night. Oklahoma is being undervalued in this spot. The Tar Heels have dropped 2 in a row to #5 UConn and #14 Kentucky as they have struggled against top teams in the country. Now, they get another top team where they don’t match up well. The Sooners have outscored their opponents 84.4 to 61.3 this season. They blew the doors off Green Bay last time out as this team plays with such pressure on both ends of the floor. They suffocate opposing shooters and they’ll look to do just that here against a UNC team trying to find its consistency. Another huge edge is the rebounding side. The Tar Heels struggled mightily and were out rebounded 43-32 to Kentucky in their loss. Kentucky got 18 offensive rebounds and the Sooners are going to try and crash the glass here even more. The value sits with the Sooners. Trends, OU are 5-1 ATS L6, and 10-0 SU L10. UNC are 2-4 ATS L6, and 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Big 12 teams. Plus they're 0-5 ATS in their L5 in December. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-20-23 | Lakers v. Bulls +4.5 | 108-124 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Bulls +4.5 It's been a rough week for me picking NBA games. So treading lightly on tonight's NBA card. I had plays on the Pelicans -6 and the Celtics -5 Tuesday. Both teams led by 17+ points at one point in the second half of their games. NEITHER team covered. It's that kind of week. The Lakers lost 114-109 to New York as the favorites by five points. Meanwhile, the Bulls won 108-104 against Philadelphia, even though they were the underdogs by 10.5 points. Chicago has value here, grabbing the points. The Lakers had some things exposed last time out as the Knicks dominated them in the 2nd half. The Lakers defensively were just a mess and that’s been a problem for them at times here in 2023. They give up 114 points per game but they have had issues with allowing quick spurts. The Knicks finished the third quarter on a 15-2 run to create the separation. The Lakers will be a problem here against the Bulls, who play with a ton of aggression. Chicago has momentum as well. They took down the 76ers last time out in a game where they held them to just 104 points. The Bulls have had spurts this season where they have played well against top competition. Chicago can slow things down and take teams out of rhythm. They can force the Lakers into a slower pace and that’s going to be the key here. The Bulls have won 3 of the last 4 in this head to head series as they always seem to have the Lakers number. 3/26/23 was the last machup, a 118-108 Bulls win. Trends, LAL are 1-4 ATS L5. Bulls are 8-1 ATS L9, 6-3 L9 SU, and 7-1 ATS L8 in DEC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-20-23 | Baylor +3.5 v. Duke | 70-78 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Baylor +3.5 The Bears have value at this number. Baylor suffered their first loss of the season and it’s one they need to just throw away and forget as they had nothing go right in that one. It’s still a great start to this campaign as Baylor has proven they can score quickly and beat the opposition with many different weapons. They’re putting up over 88 points per game still this season even despite their struggle last week and they have some of the best guard play in the nation. Not only can they shoot the 3 as good as anyone, but their ability to attack is also one of the tops in the nation. Duke comes in off a 7 day lay off and this is not a team you want to see after having a week off. The Blue Devils have struggled against top teams and on the road this year. They fell at home to Arizona and also dropped consecutive games at Arkansas and Georgia Tech. With this being at MSG, it’s another (away from home) game where they will have issues. Baylor is the better team and we get points here in this spot. The Bears defense can slow this Duke team down, as they allow under 70 points per game and will put on relentless defensive pressure from the outset. Trends, Baylor are 4-1 ATS L5, 9-1 SU L10, and 18-2 SU L20 in December. On the other side Duke are 1-6 ATS in their L7 as a favorite of 3-13pts. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-19-23 | Celtics -5 v. Warriors | 126-132 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 15 m | Show | |
Celtics -5 On Tuesday night, it's a big showdown at Chase Center in San Francisco as the Warriors (12-14, 6-6 HOME, 11-15 ATS) clash with the Boston Celtics (20-5, 6-5 AWAY, 12-11-2 ATS) at 10pm ET, airing on TNT. The Celtics come in as the favored team with a 5-point advantage on the road. The total points expected in this matchup is 231.5. When it comes to the Moneyline, the odds stand at Boston -224 and Golden State +183. The Celtics are finally leaving the friendly eastern time zone. This is a 4 game stretch of games through California, and they play 13 of their next 20 on the road. If there' sa hotter team than the Celtics point them out to me ok? 5-0 on their recent homestand, winners of 9 of their last 11. They averaged 122PPG at home. Warriors are home now for an extended stretch. Crazy stat. GSW play close games. ALL of their most recent 13 matchups was within 5 points in the last 5 minutes of the game. Stats, Celtics are #7 PPG, and #3 on DEF. Warriors #13 PPG and #20 on DEF. Celtics the best on the defensive glass, surprisingly GSW are #7 on the OFF glass, but that could be skewed towards have Green, who is out now for at least a couple weeks. BIG LOSS. Trends, Celtics are 4-1 ATS L5 playing on 1-day rest, and are 5-0 SU L5, and 4-1 ATS L5, plus they're 4-1 SU L5 vs. WESTERN teams, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. Pacific DIV teams. On the flip side, the Warriors are 2-4 ATS L6, 6-12 SU L18, and randomly are 0-5 L5 Tuesday night games. Injuries, Porzingis (BOS) and Paul (GSW) are both questionable to play on Tuesday. Last time these two met was a 121-118 BOS win on 1/19/23. You know what to do. Boston can shoot the 3, GSW can't defend it, that's the X Factor here. I'm expecting Boston to win this game by 10+, sit back and grab a bevvie and enjoy the WIN. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-19-23 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -6 | 115-113 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
Pelicans -6 The Grizzlies (6-18, 91-5 ATS, 5-7 AWAY) and the Pelicans (16-11, 16-10-1 ATS, 9-4 ATS) will clash in New Orleans on Tuesday. Tip off is at 7:30pm ET from the Smoothie King Center. The Grizzlies will play their second game in as many nights, having faced OKC the previous night, where they suffered a 103-96 loss to the Rockets. Meanwhile, the Pelicans dominated the Spurs 146-110 on Sunday, beating the 8-point spread. The Pelicans have won their last two encounters, including a 111-104 road victory on October 25 in their first matchup of the season. Memphis gets Ja Morant back as this team looks to try and figure things out after an awful start. However, this is a nice spot to fade them for a few reasons. While they will get a boost offensively with Morant back, defensively this team has been atrocious. They’ve dropped 5 in a row and all of those losses have seen them struggle to slow teams down. They just don’t have much of a supporting cast even by Morant’s side that can step up. They’re going to have their hands full with a Pelicans team that loves to play quickly. They’re one of the fastest teams in the NBA and they’re averaging 116 PPG. They’re red hot right now as well, coming in with 4 straight wins and a 146 point performance last time out against the Spurs. New Orleans has one of the best inside out games in the league as they can dominate the paint, while also shooting the 3 ball well. They shit 52.4% from behind the arc in the win over the Spurs and should have their way with this Memphis defense. Trends, MEM 0-5 ATS L5, and 0-5 SU L5, plus they're 6-12 L18 ATS vs. NOP, and 5-12 L17 on the road. On the other side, NOP are 12-5 ATS L17, 5-1 SU L6, 8-0 ATS L8 at home, and 7-1 ATS L8 when playing MEM @ HOME. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-19-23 | Golden Knights +114 v. Hurricanes | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 34 m | Show | |
Golden Knights +114 Probable Goalies: Thompson (10-4-3, 2.48 GAA, 0.911 SV%) vs. Kochetkov (6-6-2, 2.62 GAA, .0894 SV%, 1 SO) The (16-12-3, 8-2-3 HOME) Carolina Hurricanes will face off against the Vegas Golden Knights (21-6-5, 9-3-3 AWAY) at PNC Arena this Tuesday, starting at 7:00 PM ET from the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC. You can catch the game on ESPN+. The opening odds favor the Hurricanes at (-127), with the Golden Knights as the underdogs at (+106) on the moneyline. The initial total score prediction is set at 6.5 goals. In their last match on December 17th, the Hurricanes had a tough time, losing 2-1 in a shootout at home against Washington. They've had a bit of a struggle lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. On the other hand, the Vegas Golden Knights won their most recent game 6-3 at home against the Sens on the same day. The Knights have been doing well, with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games. Canes are great on home ice, Knights are great anywhere they play, so this won't be a pushover game for LV by any means, but I like the small number. PLUS MONEY is always nice on LVGK. This is a tale of two teams in opposite directions right now. Vegas sits atop the NHL standings coming into Carolina. They’ve done it with plenty of offense as they come winners in 5 of their last 6. In each of those wins, they’ve tallied at least 5 goals. This offense overall is averaging 3.41 goals per game as their attack is relentless. They don’t just beat teams with their first shot, but they crash the net and produce second and third chances. Defensively, they’re also one of the best in the NHL. They’re giving up just 2.5 goals per game as they’re not only dominating possession. Thompson (in net) will find a lot of success against this Carolina team that is underachieving this season. The Canes have been far too inconsistent and they can’t find any sort of groove really on either side of the puck. Trends, LV are 5-1 SU L6, 4-2 SU L6 on the road, and 13-5 SU L18 vs. EAST teams. On the Canes side, they're 2-6 SU L8, and 0-5 SU L5 vs. WEST teams. Does this smell like a trap game? Don't let it smell. It isn't. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-19-23 | Florida -3 v. Michigan | 106-101 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida -3 The Florida Gators (7-3, 2-7-1 ATS) take on the Michigan Wolverines (6-5, 5-6 ATS) on Tuesday night in College hoops betting action. We’re on the Gators here in the Jumpman Invitational. The value sits with Florida, who is just a better overall team. The Gators are far more consistent than the Wolverines. Their losses this year have been to good teams, while they were even competitive and took those games down to the wire. Overall, this Florida offense ranks near the top in the nation with 83 points per game. Walter Clayton Jr. is one of the best guards as he comes in averaging 16.5 points per game. His energy sparks this team and he also has a great supporting case around him. Tyrese Samuel (13.9 ppg), Zyon Pullin (12.7 ppg) and Riley Kugel all are huge contributors on an offense that loves to fly. They’re going to overwhelm Michigan in this spot. The Wolverines have 5 losses and some of them have been bad losses. This team just doesn’t have the consistency and they struggle at times to slow teams down. This Florida side will push the tempo on them and put them on their heels from the outset. Grab the Gators to dictate a lot in this game, as they should lean on their ability to attack from many different angles. Trends, FLA are 6-2 SU L8, and UM are 1-4 ATS L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-19-23 | Mainz v. Borussia Dortmund -1 | 1-1 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
Dortmund -1 Dortmund can finish the year on a good note as they welcome Mainz to Signal Iduna Park. Mainz stopped them from winning the title in May with a 2-2 draw on the final day of the season. 2023 has had its ups and downs for Dortmund, but they have a chance to end it positively against a struggling Mainz team. Back Dortmund. Hop ON!

12-18-23 | Panthers -118 v. Flames | 1-3 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Panthers -118 Probable Goalies: Bobrovsky (14-8-1, 2.49 GAA, 0.911 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Markstrom (6-8-2, 2.94 GAA, 0.896 SV%) Tonight at 9:30pm ET from the ScotiaBank Saddledome in Calgary, AB, Canada it's the (18-10-2, 9-6-2) Florida Panthers taking on the (12-14-5, 7-6-1) Calgary Flames. It's blast from the past night in CowTown on Monday night as several faces from each club face their former teams in what should should be an electrifying atmosphere. As we witness the return of former Panthers Tkachuk, Bennett, and Lomberg to their old stomping grounds, it's safe to say that this matchup will be off the charts. Additionally, the presence of Weegar and Markstrom facing their former teams adds even more intrigue to what promises to be an exciting game. The Canadian crowd will be in a feeding frenzy tonight with how pissed off they surely are at Tkachuk for wanting out of Calgary. Scorned Canadians. LOL. Florida comes in with a renewed sense of momentum after a BIG win on Saturday night over the Oilers just north of Calgary. They'll be rested for this one and I'm certain Bobrovsky will be in the pipes to keep the train movin for the Panthers. He stopped 38/39 in the 5-1 win Saturday. Bobrovsky has now won 5 of his last 7, and I know the Panthers want to end the road trip on a high point before flying home to the warmth of Florida. Going into that game EDM was 5th in scoring so Florida did a great job on the defensive end shutting down the big guns. For CGY, Markstrom should be back in net tonight. He's been activated from IR. Missing 7 games altogether. Before that he was 6-8-2. Vladar was in net on Saturday in the Flames 4-2 win over TB. He snapped his own 3-game losing streak, so have Calgary's fortunes turned? I'm banking on NOT. Panthers/Flames both Bottom 12 clubs in scoring, but FLA's big advantage is on the defensive end. They're a TOP 5 GAA team, and combine that with being the #3 team in terms of SOG, it's really a nice winning combo for them. They cause issues all over the ice. These two last met on 11/29/22 a 6-2 CGY win. So there's some revenge factor in this one too for the Panthers, as the last time they were in the building they got blown out. That was then... Trends, FLA are 5-1 L6 when a favorite from -110 to -150, and are 4-2 SU L6, plus they're 6-3 L9 vs. Pacific division teams. Flames are 1-4 SU L5 overall, and 1-4 L5 vs. teams with a winning record. Plus they're 2-6 L8 in DEC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL ML Play |

12-18-23 | Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 238 | 104-130 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
Over 238 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, we get the (16-9, 14-11 ATS, 9-4 AWAY) Dallas Mavs taking on the (17-10, 11-15-1 ATS, 10-2 HOME) Denver Nuggets. We’re backing this over here as we get two teams who love to play with a ton of tempo. Both teams sit near the top in the NBA in pace and this one should be a shootout. Dallas comes in averaging 120 points per game while conceding 118. This month especially they’ve been involved in plenty of high scoring games, which includes last time out where they won 131-120. They’ve eclipsed over 120 points in 4 of their last 5 games as they aren’t shy about pushing the issue. Denver will have a field day with this Dallas defense. The Nuggets continue to be one of the best offensively with the amount of weapons this team has. The Mavericks issues on the defensive end come from allowing quick and open shots in transition. The Nuggets can get out and run and they’re one of the best at shooting the 3 ball. Both teams are playing well coming into this game overall. Doncic and Jokic both are playing at a top level and their teams feed off their energy. The Mavs are a top 7 team on O this year. #1 in 3-pt-attempts, and #12 in 3-pt shooting, so to help them win games and cash this over we need the 3 to drop tonight. With Joker obviously the Nuggets don't need to rely on the shots from DTown, but they're a slick passing team #2 in assists, and really create scoring opps. with their passing. Injuries: Irving/Kleber will be OUT, Holmes is (?) for Dallas, for DEN: Murray, Gordon and KCP are all (?), but I think all 3 play. Trends, the OVER has hit in 6 of the Mavs' L7, and in 12 of their L15 on the road, and in 4 of their L5 vs. WEST teams. The Over has also hit to the tune of 8-1 in the Mavs L9 when playing on 1-days rest, and it's 6-0 in the Mavs L6 following a straight up win by more than 10. Last time they met these two put up 239 points on 11/3/23. (That went over the 230 total) Dallas' combined total last game out was 251 vs. PDX. Denver's last game was a 118-117 loss to OKC hitting 235. Expect points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-18-23 | Eagles -3 v. Seahawks | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 23 m | Show | |
Eagles -3 In Week 15 of Monday Night Football, it's a clash between the Eagles (10-3, 6-4-3 ATS) and the Seahawks (6-7, 6-6-1 ATS) at Lumen Field. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. The opening odds for this showdown Moneyline (ML): Eagles -205, Seahawks +172, and Against the spread (ATS): Eagles -4.5 (-105). Worth noting, the initial spread has shifted, and we now have the Eagles at -3. In their recent outings, the Eagles suffered a tough loss to the Cowboys, falling 33-13, while the Seahawks, with Drew Lock at QB, covered the spread as 16.5-point road underdogs in a 28-16 loss to the 49ers. The Seahawks are hopeful for Geno Smith's return on MNF. Looking at the history between these two teams, this Monday's game marks their 20th meeting, with Seattle holding a 12-7 advantage. Week 12 of the 2020 season was their last matchup, Seattle won 23-17. The line has dropped due to the Eagles' recent struggles against the Cowboys and 49ers. However, they previously defeated challenging opponents like the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Bills. Facing Seattle's struggling defense, which ranks poorly against both the run and pass, presents a promising opportunity. Seattle, on a four-game losing streak, has also faced strong teams like the Niners, Cowboys, and Rams. This matchup offers potential for the Eagles' offense to shine. Listen you know I'm a Seahawks fan, and the Hawks haven't lost to the Eagles in the PC era but this is a strange year, and I just don't trust the Seahawks team any longer. I just can't for the life of me see them winning this game on Monday night. So...I'm playing the Eagles -3. Trends, Eagles are 10-3 SU L13 games, and are 9-2 SU L11 vs. NFC teams. Hawks are 1-5 SU L6, 1-4 SU L5 vs. NFC teams, and are 1-6 ATS L7 in December. This won't be a blowout by any means, but Lumen Field isn't as tough to win for road teams as it used to be and Phili is a much better team than Seattle is. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-18-23 | Bulls v. 76ers OVER 227.5 | 108-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
OVER 227.5 At 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA its the (10-17, 12-14-1 ATS 3-10 AWAY) Chicago Bulls taking on the (18-7, 10-3 HOME, 18-7 ATS) Philadelphia 76ers tonight. The 76ers routinely score over 123PPG. The Bulls routinely score over 115 PPG (even without LaVine). The public is on the UNDER in this one. We're going to ZIG when the Public Zags even though the last two times these teams have met we've seen the UNDER hit. 3/22/23 was the last game 116-91 PHI. Drastically different looking team from that game, compared to what we're seeing L10 games for each team in this season. Philadelphia is playing at such a high level right now. This offense has been the best in the NBA as of late as they’re just torching opponents. Coming into play here, they have put up performances of 131, 125, 146, 129, 124, and 135 during this win streak. They’re just simply overwhelming the opposition with their speed, inside presence, and their ability to open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Overall this year they sit near the top of the NBA, putting up 123 points per contest. The Bulls are going to have to pick up their tempo to match in this one. Chicago has shown glimpses of what their future looks like as this younger team put up 124 just a couple of games ago. They’re going to get torched on defense and will have to pick up the pace to try and match the 76ers intensity. This has the makings of a game where the 76ers setting the tone and pace, which the Bulls will try to match it, favoring us. Injuries: LaVine, Craig OUT, Caruso (?), Phili is healthy. Trends, for the 76ers the OVER has hit in 8 of their L10, and in 7 of their L8 at home. For the Bulls the OVER has hit in 5 of their L5, and in 7 of their L7 on the road. Lastly, the Bulls have hit the OVER in 6 of their L6 games as a road DOG. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-18-23 | Western Kentucky v. Old Dominion UNDER 49.5 | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 4 m | Show | |
UNDER 49.5 WKU (7-5, 5-7 ATS) take on ODU (6-6, 7-5 ATS) at 2:30pm ET today in the Famous Toastery Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. In a game that nobody seems to want to watch or predict I'm going to weigh in with a play on the TOTAL. Backing the UNDER in this one. Reason #1. WK will have a frosh starting at QB who has thrown less than 5 career attempts in college football. The coaches kid. Turner Helton. Reason #2. WK's defense is actually pretty good. They've gotten the better of many a QB this season keeping completion rates down, and they cause turnovers (Top 20 in the nation in picks). They also get fumbles (Top 20 in the country). We're going to get a team that is well coached, but for this game they'll be undermanned due to all the player transfer portal and injury news coming from this team. I'm not overly impressed with ODU's defense to brag about it here, but what I do like is the fact their offense isn't good either. They scored 31 TD's all year. That's the 5th least of ALL bowl teams playing this bowl season. Weather high 50's 50% chance of rain, 10-15mph winds. Playing on a Monday afternoon is the most ideal situation for this teams. This has the makings of a sluggish game from the outset. Also, neither of these teams are going to light up the scoreboard. While the Hilltoppers averaged over 28 points per game this season, but now they have a backup qb going that has barely seen any sort of time under center. This offense is going to be slow and really try to work the run game in. That plays into our advantage as WKU will chew a lot of clock. On the other side, ODU is as slow as it gets offensively. They put up just 22 points per game and their defense only allows 26. This will be the kind of game runs dominate. Look for a slow tempo both ways and for these teams to put their main focus on sustaining drives. Trends, total has gone UNDER in 5 of ODU's L7, and in 4 of their L5 when they're the favorite. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NCAAF O/U Play |

12-17-23 | Ravens v. Jaguars OVER 41.5 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 15 m | Show |
OVER 41.5 This is a RARE 10* top play! On Sunday night, the Ravens (10-3, 8-5 ATS, 6-7 O/U) will be facing the Jaguars (8-5, 8-5 ATS, 7-6 O/U), kick off at 8:20pm ET from EverBank Stadium, in JVille, FL, watch on NBC. Sunday Night Football and I'm expecting a gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Both of teams have what we call in the industry "high octane offenses". Both can score quick and if you look at what the did last year it tells me we can expect more of the same this year. (28-27 final score). This upcoming matchup could very well surpass that high-scoring affair. The Ravens look of late like they have shifted their offensive strategy towards a greater emphasis on passing. It's working. They're showing us explosive big-play potential. Lamar averaged 11+ air yards per attempt vs. the Rams. This transformation has resulted in them scoring 31 points or more in 6 out of their last 7. Flowers, OBJ, & Likely are all HR hitters, and Lamar...well. At this juncture of the season, Jackson stands out as one of the NFL's premier performers. His impressive record now sits at 14-3 for December, making him the 2nd-most successful QB in the NFL since 2018. They're on top of their game as evidenced by the fact that 3 out of their last 4 games they've scored more than 54, and in 5 of their last 7 they've managed to go over 44. The Jags are quite familiar with high-scoring games as well. In their recent 4, they have consistently reached a total of 45+, and this pattern has persisted in 7 of last 9. Their D isn't what everyone thinks it is either. Allowing 24+ in their last 4. The last prime-time Jags game vs. the Bengals is just a taste of what this game will offer. So buckle up. It's going to be fun! Trends, Over has hit in 5 of Ravens L7, and OVER has hit in 4 of Jags L6 at home. The OVER has also hit in 7 of the Jags L8 in December. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday *RARE* 10* NFL O/U Top Play |

12-17-23 | Wizards v. Suns UNDER 246 | 108-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
UNDER 246 The Suns (13-12, 11-13 ATS, 2-12 AWAY) will be hosting the Wizards (4-20, 10-14-1 ATS, 6-8 HOME) at the Footprint Center this Sunday, with the game scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. ET in Phoenix, Arizona. When it comes to the opening odds here's what we've got: Moneyline (ML): Wizards +550, Suns -800; Against the spread (ATS): Suns -12.5; and the total, Over/Under (O/U): 245.5. In their recent games, the Suns suffered a 139-122 loss to the Knicks as 5.5-point home favorites, while the Wizards managed to secure a 137-123 victory against the Pacers as 8-point home dogs, putting an end to their 6-game losing streak. It's worth noting that Beal, one of the Wizards' star players, is sidelined due to an ankle injury for this upcoming game. Word is he'll be out a couple of weeks. The Suns have faced some challenges on their current homestand, losing 3 out of their last 4. Additionally, they haven't fared well against the spread, going 1-7 ATS in their L8 games. On the bright side, Phoenix has displayed solid defensive performance lately, allowing less than 116pts in 5 of their L6. They average 114PPG on D putting them at 16th in the NBA. They will also dominate the glass in this one taking away a ton of 2nd chance putbacks. They also lead the NBA in blocks! As an added bonus for this O/U play they've struggled on OFF failing to score more than 120 pts since Nov. 20th. Yes the Wizards have allowed 120+ in their L10, but coupled with the Suns defense I think this total stays UNDER 240 comfortably. You know what to do. The UNDER is 8-1 in the Wizards L8 Sunday games. WIZ are 0-6-1 L7 following a win which tells me they're not going to touch the Suns on OFF in this one. The last time these two met was 12/28/22 a 127-102 Wizards win, before that 12/20/22 a Wizards 113-110 win. Gordon will play today. Okogie/Beal are OUT. These two play UNDERS. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NBA O/U Play |

12-17-23 | Sharks v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Over 6.5 Probable Goalies: Blackwood (4-11-2, 3.67 GAA, 0.900 SV%) vs. Georgiev (14-7-1, 3.00 GAA, 0.896 SV%, 1 SO) In a matchup that pits two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, the Colorado Avalanche (18-10-2, 11-4 HOME), will clash with the San Jose Sharks (9-18-3, 3-12-1 AWAY)at the Ball Arena Sunday, face off at 8:00pm ET. Colorado's previous game saw them suffer a 6-2 defeat on the road against the Jets, a contest that left a mark. On the other hand, the San Jose Sharks are coming off a recent road loss, falling 1-0 to the Coyotes on December 15, a game that showcased their ongoing struggles. The Sharks and Avs both were active this week in acquiring players in trades as they’ll head into this one on Sunday with a couple of new faces. This has the makings of a high scoring game that should be played with a lot of tempo. The Sharks have been much better this month and their attack has been the difference. They have performances where they’ve put up 4 or more goals in 5 of the 7 games here in December. They’re playing much more freely and are putting pucks on net more and more. They’re taking on an Avs team that has been very inconsistent themselves on the defensive end. Colorado allowed 6 goals to Winnipeg last time out as they’re giving up goals in flurries at times. They’ve been bailed out by their offensive attacker though this season. Coming into play, they’re averaging 3.53 goals per game, which is up near the top of the NHL. These teams are going to play with a lot of up tempo and should produce scoring chances both ways. Look for a back and forth game here, with goal scoring chances coming a lot. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 5 of the Sharks L7, and in 11 of their L13 DEC games. PLUS the OVER has gone 4-1-2 in the Sharks L7 vs. Central teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NHL O/U Play |

12-17-23 | Montana v. San Jose State -2.5 | 86-75 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
San Jose State -2.5 Montana (5-4, 4-2 ATS) take on SJST (6-5, 5-5 ATS) today, and we’re on the Spartans, laying the points here. San Jose State has been a different team when playing at home. They come in undefeated here in this spot after knocking off New Orleans with an 87 point performance. This Spartans team has found some offense as of late, but they’ve relied heavily on the defensive end this year. The Spartans are allowing just 69 points per game this season as they play with a ton of pressure. That number even goes down a bit when they’re playing at home too. They also have got themselves back on the health side. They will get G Trey Anderson back, who has been averaging double figures this season. The Spartans now will have 4 players averaging double digits and they’re going to get a lot of production from many different weapons in this matchup. With the revenge factor in play here, we’re backing the Spartans at home in this spot. Trends, UM come in 2-4 SU L6 on Sunday's, and SJST are 6-0 L6 @ home SU, and 4-1 ATS L5 on Sunday's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |
