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! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NHL ML Play |

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! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CFB Cotton Bowl O/U Play |

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.

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.

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.

12-26-23 | Magic v. Wizards +7.5 | 127-119 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
Wizards +7.5 Late add, but the time is right to make a move on the Wizards in this one. Coming off a nice 3-0 in the Association on XMAS Day. On Tuesday night we have the Magic (17-11, 6-8 AWAY, 19-9 ATS) taking on the Wizards (5-23, 2-8 HOME, 14-13-1 ATS). Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. 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 |

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 |

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.

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!

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. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play |

12-24-23 | Seahawks -3 v. Titans | 20-17 | Push | 0 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
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 |

12-23-23 | Lakers v. Thunder -3 | 129-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
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 |

12-23-23 | Bruins v. Wild +105 | 2-3 | Win | 105 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
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.

12-23-23 | Duquesne -2.5 v. Santa Clara | 73-81 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
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 |

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.

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!

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! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NHL ML Play |

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.

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.

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.

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 |

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!

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!

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!

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.

12-17-23 | Cowboys v. Bills -1.5 | 10-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Bills -1.5 The Cowboys (10-3, 9-4 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) and Bills (7-6, 5-8 ATS, 5-2 HOME) will face off this Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium. The game is set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX. Buffalo seems to have hit their stride lately, and their recent triumph against the Chiefs appears to have saved their season. With 2 wins in their last 3 games, they've joined a 6-team tie for the last 2 AFC Wild Card spots. Their 20-17 victory over the Chiefs provided a much-needed morale boost. Allen had an impressive performance, amassing 233 PAYDS & 1 TD, likely boosting his confidence. I also have confidence in the Bills' defense this week. While Dallas boasts a potent offense this season, Buffalo's defense has been stepping up, and I expect them to do so again on Sunday. When playing at home, the Bills are a formidable force, securing 3 wins in their last 4 home games and covering the spread in 5 of their last 7 December games. In their recent matchups against the Cowboys, they hold a 4-1-1 record in the last 6. I've watched almost every minute of every Cowboys game this season and I'm here to tell you the loss of Hankins is a big, big, big deal. It gives the Bills run game a sliver of hope, and that's all they need in this one with such a tight spread. We all know the Cowboys have had an easy schedule... right? The Dallas offense has boosted its statistics by facing weak opponents and favorable conditions, and you know it's true, but it has only managed to score more than 23 points in a single away game out of its last 5, with the exception being the Panthers. I'm a believer that Allen will scramble all night long, as the Cowboys have for the most part contained run-games, but they haven't contained running QB's. It'll be in the game plan. Diggs will get back on track, and Cook and Gabe Davis will have bigtime impact games. Hopefully the weather is terrible too! Predicted High 40's 25% chance of rain. Trends, DAL 1-4-1 ATS L6 vs. BUFF, Bills 13-7 SU L20, 5-1 SU L6 vs. NFC, and 5-2 ATS L7 in DEC. Bills have won 2 straight vs. Big D. It's going to be 3. You know what to do. Hop ON!

UNDER 38 In Week 15, it's Chicago (5-8, 6-5-2 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) facing off against Cleveland (8-5, 8-5 ATS, 6-1 HOME) at Cleveland Browns Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX. The odds for this matchup are as follows: Moneyline (ML): Bears +148 | Browns -170, Against the spread (ATS): Browns -3, and the opening total, Over/Under (O/U): 37.5. The last time these teams met was on September 26, 2021, in Cleveland, where the Browns secured a 26-6 victory as a 7.5-point favorite. Over the years, they've clashed a total of 17 times since 2009, with the Browns claiming victory in 10 of those matchups and the Bears winning 7. Chicago has been on a roll lately, winning 3 out of their last 4 games. Their defense has been impressive, conceding 13 or fewer points in 3 of those 4 games. On the flip side, the Browns have been strong in both passing and rushing defense this season. However, they gave up 27 points and nearly 400 yards of offense in Week 14. This performance puts the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of Walker Jr, Harris, Smith, and Garrett. I anticipate a full turnaround from them this week against the Bears. Neither team is particularly good in the red zone (bottom 15 in the NFL), Neither average more than 22PPG, both are bottom 12 in the NFL in TOT Yds per game, and both are bottom 5 in TOT Yds per play. When it comes to passing stats, both are Bottom 8 in the NFL. Don't get me started on QB ratings. Trends, UNDER has hit in 5 of the L6 Bears' matchups, and we've seen the UNDER in 4 of the L5 Bears' games vs. AFC North teams. On the other side, the UNDER is 8-1-2 in the Browns' L11 home games, and the total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Browns' L5 vs. the Bears, 11 of their L16 vs. NFC Teams, and all 5 of the Browns' games vs. NFC North teams.

(11/06/23 111-97 win) New York with a record of (14-10, 12-10-2 ATS), are currently on the third leg of their five-game road trip, and they will be facing the Clippers (14-10, 11-13 ATS) at Crypto.com Arena, with tip-off at 10:30 p.m. ET. I don't know as of 8:10pm ET if Paul George is playing tonight but I trust the LAC enough to still get the job done tonight with or without him. The Knicks have played a ton of hoops of late, and they had to travel last night from Phoenix to LA after the game, sure not a big deal, but still, a deal, and now they get the Clips on a 6-game heater. This just smells rotten to me. Randle / Brunson / Barrett / Hart played a ton last night, they've played a ton this week, and the bottom has to fall out here at some point. So, George or no George the play is LAC -5.5 tonight. Trends, The Clippers have been outperforming their opponents by an average of 3.7 points in the last six games, plus, LAC are 8-0 at home as a 0.5 - 5-5 pt favorite, and are 4-1 ATS L5, plus they're 6-0 L6 SU, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Clips are winning first halves too (Covering by 3.7 PTS L6 games). (Side bet?) The NYK are 0-4 ATS in their L4 following an ATS win. Plus they're 5-15 SU in their L20 vs. LAC. You know what to do.

Puck drop is scheduled for 10:00 PM ET, with the game airing on ESPN+. In their previous outing, Edmonton suffered a 7-4 defeat at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 14th. Meanwhile, the Panthers also played away in their last game on Thursday, where they were shut out 4-0 by the Canucks.Edmonton has value at this price on Saturday night. The Oilers stumbled to the Lightning last time out in a 7-4 defeat (we backed the over in this!), but that doesn’t mean we can overlook them here. This team has been one of the hottest in the NHL and still have won 4 of 5 this month. Things are different in Edmonton since the coaching change as this offense is on another level. They just have so many weapons on the offensive end. After such a slow to the year, they’re now averaging over 3.5 goals per game. They take on a Florida team who has dropped back to back games and have failed to scored in either of those games. Momentum is on the side of the Oilers and they’re just more threatening on the offensive side. They can score in bunches, while the Panthers just don’t have the same attack. They average only 2.9 goals per game, which is a low mark in the NHL. The value sits with the Oilers in this spot. Last game out obiously didn't go the way Oilers G Stuart Skinner wanted. The loss snapped a 7-game win streak for him. He had held teams to 1 goal in 3 of his previous starts. He just had a bad night. He'll get back on track vs. Florida. The Panthers won't have an answer for McDavid on Saturday. Dude's on fire. McDavid is on an 11-game point streak with 7 goals and 20 assists in his last 5 games. Have fun with that. Trends, In recent matchups against Edmonton, the Florida Panthers have struggled, posting a 2-4 record in their last six games. Additionally, the Panthers have faced difficulties when playing on Saturdays, with a 1-6 record in their last seven Saturday games. On the other hand, Edmonton are 8-1 SU in their L9, and are 4-1 SU in their L5 games at home. I'm backing the home team on Saturday night in Alberta. You know what to do. Hop ON!

We’re backing Cal in the Independence Bowl as they take on Texas Tech. When looking at this, there’s a few factors to consider. Cal is excited to be here. This team was 3-6 heading into their matchup with Washington State. They needed a defensive stop in a shootout to hold off the Coogs in a 42-39 win. They then had to go on the road to beat Stanford and UCLA to become bowl eligible. Winning 3 in a row, they come in hot right now and are going to have all the motivation to be in this spot. On the flip side, Texas Tech comes in with no momentum. They limp in after getting throttled in what will be their final meeting with rival Texas for quite some time in a 50 point loss. Cal’s offense is going to be a problem in this one. They finished their season with performances for 42, 27, and 33 in their victories. They’re clicking on all cylinders right now and take on a Tech defense that has struggled at times this year. This is a matchup where they can open the playbook up and cause a lot of issues for this Red Raiders defense both on the ground and through the air. Some trends, Bears are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 as an underdog of 0.5-3.0 pts. Plus, CAL are 4-1 ATS L5, and 4-2 ATS L6 games played on Saturday's! TT are 2-4 ATS L6, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Bowl games as a favorite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB Independence Bowl ATS Play |

The Lions come off a 28-13 loss to the Bears on Dec. 10, while the Broncos secured a 24-7 win over the Chargers. In last week's action, Goff threw for 161 YDS, 1 TD, and 2 INT's for the Lions, while Wilson passed for 224 YDS, 2 TD's and 1 INT for the Broncos. Not overly stellar numbers for either QB. The Broncos hold a 9-5 record in 14 regular-season games dating back to 1971. Denver faces a challenging week, playing their third consecutive road game on a short week, despite winning six of their last seven games. On the other side, the Lions are highly motivated, eyeing a playoff spot in the competitive NFC. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Broncos L8, and the UNDER is 5-0 in DEN's L5 as a DOG, and is 7-0-1 in the Broncos L8 following a win of +14, lastly we've seen the UNDER hit in 4 of DEN's L5 on the road.

Creighton -7.5 The Crimson Tide (6-3, 4-5 ATS) are set to face the Bluejays (8-2, 7-2 ATS) at CHI Health Center Omaha on Saturday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 8pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX. We’re on Creighton here, laying the points. Returning home is just what this team needs right now. The Bluejays wanted to get out of Vegas so fast after the loss to UNLV, a game in which they didn’t have anything going on the offensive end. Returning home with this crowd is what they need. They have a chance to come right back with an impressive win against an SEC opponent. Creighton still has averaged 84.5 points per game which is nothing to look over. They need to get back to their roots of playing with tempo. They are at their best when they can push the issue and force the opposing defense into some tough spots in transition. The Crimson Tide allowed 92 points to Purdue last time out and they’re going to struggle against this offense. Letting up 77 points per game, they’ve been let down plenty by their defense, especially on the road. Creighton will come out with fire and take out some frustrations early here. Look for them to push the tempo. Trends, Bama are 0-5 ATS in their L5, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road, plus, they're 1-7 SU in their L8 against teams in the Big East. On the other side, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and they're 8-1 SU in their L9, finally, they're 6-0 SU in their L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-16-23 | UCLA -4 v. Boise State | 35-22 | Win | 100 | 103 h 55 m | Show | |
UCLA -4 The (7-5, 5-7 ATS) Cal Golden Bears take on the (8-5, 7-4-2 ATS) Boise State Broncos in the 2023 LA Bowl (hosted by Gronk) from SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles, CA this Saturday at 7:30pm ET. The Bruins have value here on Saturday against Boise State. Some may think UCLA underachieved this year and while that’s true, this team is still going to be happy to be here. The Bruins did take down rival USC in dominant fashion here in 2023 and now a bowl win will be a bonus to end the season. Boise State is dealing with a lot of opt outs and injuries as well. The Broncos latest saw WR Eric McAlister transfer, leaving them another weapon down. This offense is going to struggle all night long here to move the ball as they simply do not have the weapons to keep up. The Bruins can lean on this defense too. They allowed just 18.1 points per game this season as they really fluster opposing defenses. They put together a lot of different blitz packages and force a lot of turnovers. They’re going to pin their ears back and come at this Boise State team, as they lack the weapons. Combine all this with this game being a home game for the Bruins with this played in California and they’ll have the crowd behind them. An added bonus is Gronk is expected to be in attendance. If that doesn’t get this team pumped, nothing will! Some trends BST 1-4 SU L5 vs. Pac 12 teams, 1-5 ATS L6 in DEC, and 1-5 SU L6 playing as a DOG. On the other side, UCLA 7-3 SU L10 vs. MWC teams.

12-16-23 | Steelers v. Colts | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
Colts PK (Or play the Colts on the ML, your call) The Steelers (7-6, 7-6 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) are set to face the Colts (7-6, 2-4 HOME, 8-5 ATS) on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network). In terms of opening sportsbook odds, the Moneyline (ML) has the Steelers at +105 and the Colts at -125. The ATS line favors the Colts at -1.5 (-110), although there has been a shift towards Pittsburgh. The total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 42.5. In their recent games, the Colts suffered a 34-14 defeat against the Bengals on Sunday, failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. Meanwhile, the Steelers are currently on a two-game losing streak, having lost 21-18 to the Patriots on Thursday, failing to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. The Colts are the move here on Saturday. This is a fade of Pittsburgh for a lot of reasons. Even with Kenny Pickett, they were playing on borrowed time as they were constantly outgained yardage wise. This team has struggled all season long and now they have Mitch Trubisky running the show. That doesn’t bode well for a team that is averaging just 16 PPG. They have had zero consistency and their inability to sustain drives has been the biggest flaw. They also come in off back to back tough losses to two sub par teams. The Cardinals and Pats have put them in tough spots as now this schedule doesn’t get any easier. Indy is right there as well in the playoff race with an identical 7-6 record. Despite struggling in Cinci last week, they still have a lot to build off of lately. Prior to that, they won 4 in a row and they are relentless on both sides of the ball. The difference here will be their ability to score. Before that loss to Cinci, they put up performances of 28 and 31 in two wins. Fade Pittsburgh in this spot. I don't Pittsburgh will be playing with the lead, and because of this they'll be throwing which at least plays into the Colts defensive strength. Trends, the Steelers are 6-12 ATS in their L18 in DEC. Indy are 4-1 ATS in their L5, 4-1 SU in their L5, and 4-2 ATS in their L6 when playing as the favorite. Colts are 6-4 in their L10 home games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NFL ATS Play |

12-16-23 | Miami-OH +6.5 v. Appalachian State | 9-13 | Win | 100 | 99 h 25 m | Show | |
Miami OH +6.5 (Circa) I've had some good luck backing the RedHawks this season, and expect that trend to continue on Saturday when the (11-2, 10-3 ATS) Miami-Ohio RedHawks on the (8-5, 6-6-1 ATS) Appalachian State Mountaineers in the 2023 Cure Bowl from FBC Mortgage Stadium, in Orlando, FL this Saturday at 3:30pm ET. Miami OH is getting points here and it’s just too many to pass up on. They're looking for their 12th win which be only the second time getting this done. (The first was Ben Roethlisberger's team in 2003 that went 13-1). The Redhawks continue to be doubted and undervalued and they keep ignoring all of that and just winning. That was the case in the MAC Championship as they entered as 7 point underdogs and came away winners 23-14 in a game where their defense dominated. That has been the theme all year long for this Miami OH side as they are allowing just 16.2 points per game this year. During this 5 game winning streak, the most points allowed has been 16 and they even have a shut out to add to their resume. App State comes in on a low after Troy throttled them in the Sun Belt Championship. App State’s defense has been far too inconsistent this year and the Redhawks can certainly win the battle of possession. Look for this game to be a grind, which favors Miami. The Redhawks can dictate the possession and sustain drives, frustrating this App State side all night long. MIA-OH lost 24-20 to UAB in the Bahamas Bowl last year, while App ST. didn't play in a bowl game last season. Trends, M-OH are 10-2 ATS in their L12 games, are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played on a Saturday. Appalachian State are 1-6 ATS in their L7 in December, plus they're 3-10 ATS in their L13 when they're the favourite. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB Cure Bowl ATS Play |

12-16-23 | Jacksonville State -2.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
Jacksonville State -2.5 The (8-4, 8-3-1 ATS) Jacksonville State Gamecocks take on the (6-6, 5-7 ATS) ULL Rajin' Cajuns on Saturday at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA in the 2023 New Orleans Bowl. Kick off is at 2:15pm ET. Watch this one on ESPN. Jacksonville State has a lot of value in this spot. In Bowl games, motivation is everything. If you want one team that has all the motivation in the world coming into this game, then look no further. Jacksonville State is new to the FBS and this will be the first bowl game in program history. They got in on a technicality about there not being enough bowl worthy teams, but they won't care. They have a huge edge coaching wise too. Rich Rodriguez has seen plenty of bowl games throughout his coaching career as this will be his 12th bowl appearance. That holds a huge factor for us here in this spot on Jacksonville State. This team has played hard all year to get to this spot, as they finished with 8 wins overall. They averaged just 20 points against while putting up 28 as a team, as they play with a ton of pace. On the flip side, Louisiana will be playing in this bowl game for the 7th time in 12 years. The repetitiveness is going to play a factor for sure as this is no longer a special treat for them. Jacksonville State will lean on their defense, while this offense will open things up and take plenty of shots. We’re getting the better team at a nice number here. Jax State lost their regular-season finale 20-17 to New Mexico State. Meanwhile, the Ragin' Cajuns are headed to their 11th bowl game, becoming bowl eligible with a 52-21 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. Trends, ULL are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 following a straight up win. JVST are 4-1 ATS L5, and are 8-4 SU L12. Plus, they're 6-0 ATS in their L6 following an ATS loss.

12-16-23 | Canucks +101 v. Wild | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Canucks +101 Probable Goalies: Demko (15-7, 2.30 GAA, 0.923 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Gustavsson (7-7-2, 2.96 GAA, 0.903 SV%, 2 SO) Canucks (20-9-1, 8-6 AWAY) take on the Wild (11-12-4, 6-4-2 HOME) on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET (11am PT). Van City at plus money? I'm in. Sure they're my team, I'm a PNW guy, and before I had the Kraken to cheer for I had the Canucks, they've been my team for 40+ years. So you could say I know them. I haven't seen this type of chemistry from a Vancouver team since Trevor Linden captained the side (the first time). Vancouver can roll 4 lines, and they're getting top notch goaltending from both their guys. Yes, the Wild are at home, but Vancouver is on a roll. It's tough to stop a runaway train. Gustavsson will have his hands full, BUT he's been doing well of late, Gustavsson stands out as he's been on exceptional form by conceding two or fewer goals in his last 6 appearances. FLip it, and this is a nice line on the Canucks as they begin their road swing here. Vancouver sits at a lower line as the Wild come in on their own hot streak. However, the Canucks continue to be undervalued as this team is proving they can compete with the top teams in the NHL. Vancouver comes in winners in 5 of the last 6 this month as they’re doing it with good play on both sides of the puck. They’re winners in their last 3, while putting in 4 goals in each of those wins. The offense is putting up 3.83 goals per game, which is one of the best in the NHL. They have an edge offensively against this Wild defense. One of the flaws to this Minnesota team has been their inability to clear the zone. Because of that, they’re allowing 3.26 goals per game. They are going to have their hands full with this Vancouver attack, who loves to pepper the net. Miller 15G, 28A, Hughes 9G, 30A, Pettersson 11G, 27A, and Boeser 22G, 14A are all going to the NHL All Star Game at this pace. Demko could go too! 15-7 record. I'm expecting him to start Saturday. He shut out the Panthers on Thursday, but he's allowed only 4 goals during his win streak. Nucks do play the Hawks on Sunday, so there will be a split, but I think Demko gets the Wild. Last time the Nucks played the Wild, backup DeSmith got the shutout. This is a game where the Canucks are the valuable side. Back the better team at this kind of price. Trends, the Nucks are 5-1 SU L6, and 15-5 SU L20 vs. Western Conference teams. For the Wild, they're 0-5 in their L5 vs. a team with a winning % over .600, and they're 1-7 in their L8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I'm on the Nucks on Saturday afternoon, you should be too! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NHL ML Play |

Vikings +3.5 In Week 15, the (7-6, 7-4-2 ATS, 5-2 AWAY) Vikings face the Bengals (7-6, 4-3 HOME, 6-6-1 ATS) at Cincinnati's Paycor Stadium on Saturday at 1pm ET. Bengals -3.5 favorites, O/U 39. The Moneyline odds show the Bengals at -197 and the Vikings at +162. Nick Mullens vs. Jake Browning! Tell me that doesn't get you excited for some Saturday afternoon football. This feels like a last minute FG for the win type game doesn't it? The Vikings arrive after a 3-0 victory in the season's lowest-scoring NFL game against Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the 7-6 Bengals, led by backup QB Jake Browning, lost his debut but secured two wins against AFC South opponents, Jacksonville and Indianapolis. Head-to-head: The Vikings and Bengals have met 14 times, each team securing 7 victories. Stats, both teams boast middle-of-the-pack offensive stats, with MIN averaging 20.5 PPG and 341.5 YPG, while CIN scores 21.5 PPG and gains 314.2 YDS on average. On the defensive side, MIN has been more efficient, allowing just 18.6 PPG and 311.2 YPG, ranking fifth and tenth, respectively. In contrast, CIN's defense has struggled, conceding 22.1 points and 379.2 YPG, placing them 17th and 31st. That's where this game will be won by the Vikings. BLITZ BLITZ BLITZ, and Browning's head will be on a swivel the entire game. Minnesota's D is nasty when they want to be. NO TD's L2 games allowed. The fewest TD's in the NFL since week 6. Nick Mullens should do OK as well moving the chains here, just doing his job. The Bengals D scares noone. Trends, Minnesota are 6-1-1 ATS in their L8, are 6-2 SU in their L8 games, and are 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NFL ATS Play |

Kick off is at 11:00am ET. Betting lines favor Georgia Southern -3.5, with Ohio at +3.5, Moneyline odds Georgia Southern -169, Ohio +138, and an over/under of 49 points. In their latest matchup, the Eagles faced a tough defeat against the App State, falling 55-27. Meanwhile, the Bobcats secured a 25-14 victory against Akron. Sun Belt vs. MAC games are always exciting. Right? I'm on GASO in this one. When you see this list of names out for OHIO you'll realize why. Rourke, Harris, Bangura, Allison, Cross. All NOT playing in this one. Down to their 3rd string QB, and missing a couple 1000 yards of production from this past season. Georgia Southern boasts a potent offense, anchored by quarterback Davis Brin, who delivered an impressive regular season with 3,431 passing yards and 22 TD's. In the rushing department, Jalen White led the charge, accumulating 891 YDS & 9 TD's. They'll be in tough vs. an OHIO DEF. that was one of the better ones in college football, but bowl season brings us weird things on the field. Motivation is a massive x-factor for these games, and for my $, the motivation to win this matchup lies with GS. Their defense will do just enough to get them this cover. Trends, Bobcats are 2-4 ATS L6. GASO are 3-0-1 ATS in their L4 Non-conference games. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 7* Myrtle Beach Bowl ATS Play |

12-15-23 | Connecticut v. Gonzaga +4.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
Gonzaga +4.5 Gonzaga (8-2, 4-5 ATS) aims to extend a three-game home win streak vs. UConn (9-1, 6-4 ATS) at Climate Pledge Arena, in Seattle, WA on Friday. The game airs at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN2. Gonzaga is in a revenge spot here as they grab points in the Continental Tire Tip-Off. Last game out the Zags took down MS Valley 78-40, while UConn comes into this one off of a 101-63 blowout win over ARK-Pine Bluff. We’re backing the Zags for a couple of reasons here. Gonzaga was embarrassed in the Elite 8 last year at the hands of UConn. There are still some players around that haven’t forgot about that defeat. Gonzaga also has played an extremely tough schedule to prep themselves for this game so far. They come into this game with one of the most potent attacks in the nation. There are five Gonzaga players averaging double figures thus far into the season and they have the ability to score in flurries. Coming into play, they’re putting up 84.9 points per game. While their offense has been impressive, it’s really been the defense that has caused opponents issues. Gonzaga concedes just 65.3 points against and with some of the competition that they’ve faced, that’s quite the stand out number. This is the kind of game Gonzaga can use their speed and get out in transition. They can match the Huskies attack in every which way and they’re going to try and push the issue from the opening tip. We’re backing them with the points in a game they have a chance to win outright. Trends, Gonzaga are 6-1 SU in their L7, are 10-2 SU in their L12 vs. Big East teams, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played in December. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Blackwood (4-11-2, 3.67 GAA, 0.900 SV%) vs. Ingram (11-6, 2.55 GAA, 0.920 SV%, 2 SO) The San Jose Sharks (9-17-3, 3-11-1 AWAY) head to Arizona to take on the Coyotes (13-13-2, 8-5 HOME) at Mullett Arena Friday, at 6 p.m. The Yotes come into this one losers of 4 straight. Sharks have won 3 of their last 4, and 6 of their last 9. Last game out, Ingram made 40 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Penguins. He's performed solidly with an 11-6-0 record, 2.55 GAA, and .920 SV% in 18 games. However, he's dropped his last 3 starts, conceding 12 goals on 98 shots, mostly on the PP. Before the recent break, Ingram played 9 consecutive games, going 5-4-0 with a 2.33 GAA. FOR SJS Counting on Blackwood in goal tonight. He saved 36 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets, proving himself as a #1 goalie. The Sharks have improved defensively and are playing much better hockey recently after a tough start to the season. I'm counting on the recent defensive efforts by both teams of late will come to the forefront in this one tonight. These teams are grinders, and they play hard. They're both in the bottom half of the league when it comes to scoring goals as well. Neither team his highly penalized, so hopefully we keep the whistles out of the refs mouths tonight and we play lots of 5-on-5 hockey.

UNDER 261.5 Friday contrarian play here! Wiz are allowing what seems like 140 or more every night, and the Pacers don't know how to slow down, so this total is sky-rocketing. (13-10, 13-10 ATS) Indiana Pacers take on the (3-20, 10-13 ATS) Washington Wizards tonight. 7pm ET from the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. The Pacers currently hold a 1-0 lead in the season series. In their recent games on Wednesday, both the Pacers and Wizards showcased strong offensive performances but struggled defensively. Indiana suffered a 140-126 loss to the Bucks, while the Wizards were defeated 142-122 by the New Orleans Pelicans. It's worth noting that Nembhard and Smith are unavailable for the Pacers, while Davis, Poole, and Shamet are also out for Indiana. All we need is one bad quarter and this will win for us. At last check this is the highest league total in NBA history, so I have to UNDER just to be against JOE Public. Trends, You won't find any. This is an anti-Public play! The line has moved so much in our favor I have to jump on this. I'm banking on the Pacers bench NOT going off tonight. If they stay "decaffinated" we have a chance to cash this. You know what to do.

In terms of scoring statistics, OKC are one of the best shooting teams in the league, and Oklahoma City holds a slight advantage with an average of 120.4 points per game, ranking 9th in the league, while Sacramento trails behind with 116.3 points per game, ranking 16th. OKC will really get after it on the defensive end too, they're TOP 5 in the NBA in steals and blocks. Plus they don't turn the ball over much (4th). Sacramento is never going to be shy about the pace they play with. However, with that comes a lot of issues at allowing easy baskets the other way. They allowed 119 points in a loss to the Clippers last time out and overall they’re conceding 117 points per game. This doesn’t bode well at all when going against this Thunder team that is playing at a top level offensively. Oklahoma City’s last two performances have seen them put up 138 and 134 points. They also have a 126 point performance this month against the Mavs as well. It’s the playmakers this team has that is really going to make Sacramento struggle. Oklahoma City is one of the best in the NBA, with 120.4 points per game. They play with a ton of pace and have shot the ball as good as anyone. Look for them to overwhelm this Kings side in a game that’s a revenge spot from the in season tournament. Oklahoma City will lean on their youth to push the tempo and have the Kings struggling and on their heels all night long. Trends, OKC are 12-4-1 in their L17, 4-1 SU L5, 5-1-1 ATS L7 on the road, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Western Conference teams, and 4-1 ATS vs. Pacific Div. Teams.

The play for tonight in this one is OVER the total. In net, Skinner comes into this matchup finally finding his form. He has 7 straight wins after his rough start. He has a 1.70 GAA, and a .934 SV% in his L9 games. Vasilevskiy allowed 3 on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Vancouver. His 3 game win streak was ended. He has allowed 3 goals in 5 of his 8 appearances so far, and looks rusty. Tampa Bay has been about as inconsistent as you can find here to start the 2023 campaign. The good news for us is that either way they are conceding a lot of goals, or scoring a lot of goals. They come in off allowing 4 goals to Vancouver, as this season they’ve given up 3.53 goals against per game. That number is just too high and they facing an Edmonton team that is red hot right now. The Oilers have won 8 in a row and they’ve scored 3 or more goals in all their wins. This team is finally getting the production we thought they would this year and it’s coming from so many different players. Overall, Edmonton is averaging 3.5 goals per game and that number has been significantly higher during this winning streak obviously. Both of these teams do concede with the pace they play with too. With both sides allowing well over 3 goals per game on the defensive end, this has the makings of a high scoring affair. Expect end to end action with scoring chances both ways all night long. Trends, the OVER is 9-1-2 in the Bolts' L12 vs. Pacific teams. On the other side, the OVER is 4-0 in the Oilers L4 vs. Atlantic teams, 5-1-1 L7 home games, and the OVER has hit in 4 of the L6 games for Edmonton vs. Eastern conference teams. You know what to do.

Under 35 In a Thursday Night Football showdown, the (5-8, 3-3 AWAY, 4-8-1 ATS) Chargers take on the (5-8, 6-5-2 ATS, 4-3 HOME) Raiders Thursday at Allegiant Stadium in LV, on Amazon Prime at 8:15pm ET. Las Vegas is favored by 3 points, with a Moneyline of -161, while the Chargers are at +134. The over/under for the game is 33.5 points I'm not a fan of the spread on this one, but I'll likely look more into it in the AM and put it out as a 5* free play. My big play on this game is on the TOTAL. Looking at the UNDER. We've had some success this season betting unders on prime time games. Tell me again why the Chargers are dogs? The Chargers have averaged 21.7 PPG, ranking 15th, whereas the Raiders have scored 15.5 PPG, placing them 25th. In yardage, the Chargers average 334.3 YPG (17th), while the Raiders trail with 277.7 YPG (29th). In their initial meeting this season, the Chargers secured a 24-17 victory against the Raiders. With the point spread favoring the Chargers by -6.5. Not on my life can I back the OVER in this game. Some guy named Easton Stick at QB for LAC, they have no Allen, No Herbert, and then couple that with a Raiders offense that is going backwards (Less than 17PPG L4 games) and I'd be crazy to bet the OVER here. Chargers ran the ball 35+ times in G1, and that was with NO Ekeler in the game. RUN RUN RUN, clock moves! Rinse Wash Repeat! (Even better both teams' rush offenses are bottom 6 in the NFL, so they run, but they don't go anywhere...perfect) Trends, Chargers, the total points scored have remained below the mark, with 10 of their L11 and all 5 of their recent road games falling short. LV has also witnessed a pattern of low-scoring contests, with 5 of their L6 finishing under, and 4 out of 5 games against the Chargers displaying a similar trend. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL O/U Play |

12-13-23 | Creighton -13 v. UNLV | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
Creighton -13 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic. The tipoff for this college basketball matchup is scheduled for 9:00 EST at the Dollar Loan Center, and you can catch it on CBSSN. Now, let's talk numbers. The initial betting odds are as follows: Creighton is sitting at -1250 on the moneyline, while UNLV is the underdog at +740. When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. They’re simply going to overwhelm UNLV here in this spot. UNLV is not the team they’ve been in the past, as they come in off a loss to LMU. They have struggled from the field, while their defense has been far too inconsistent. That doesn’t bode well when they’re taking on one of the best offenses coming into play. Creighton will have a field day with this defense and they’re just going to come at UNLV at so many different angles in this game. I'm banking on UNLV being rusty too. UNLV haven't played for 10+ days due to the shooting on the UNLV campus. Trends, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 8-1 SU in their L9, lastly, Creighton are 4-1 SU in their L5 in December. Flip it, and UNLV are 1-4 ATS in their L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

12-13-23 | Creighton v. UNLV OVER 149 | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
OVER 149 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic.

When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. This moved all the way up to 151.5 on early sharp money, so it's dropping back down s where we see it now. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. (109 points? Are you kidding me?) The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. 15/31 last game out. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. Wednesday's are also very kind to Creighton and UNLV, must be their pre-game meals or something? The total has gone OVER in 5 of the Bluejays L6 Wednesday games, and in 4 of their L5 Wednesday games when NOT at home and for UNLV the total has gone OVER in 7 of their L8 WED. games. More trends, the OVER has hit in ALL 5 of UNLV's L5, and in 10 of their L11 December games. Plus 1 more for UNLV, the OVER is 7-0 L7 neutral site games. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-13-23 | Grizzlies +7.5 v. Rockets | 104-117 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Grizzlies +7.5 On Wednesday, Memphis with a 6-16 (9-13 ATS, 5-6 AWAY) record takes on Houston, who stands at 11-9 (13-5-2 ATS, 10-1 HOME), at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. The game is set to tip off at 8 pm ET. Memphis has value with the points here. This line keep creeping higher and higher as the PUBLIC hammers Houston. For the Moneyline (ML), the Grizzlies are at +220, while the Rockets are favored at -275. When it comes to the spread (ATS), the Rockets are giving up 7.5 points. The initial total Over/Under (O/U) stands at 213.5. These teams clashed earlier on November 23rd, and Houston clinched a convincing 111-91 win. Rewind to their last game last season and you'll remember the Grizz winning 151-114 on 3/24/23. The Grizzlies are currently on a two-game losing streak, falling short as +1 underdogs in their recent 120-113 loss to the Mavericks. On the other hand, the Rockets have won 3 straight. In their most recent game, a 93-82 W vs. the Spurs, covering the -9pt spread. IMO the Rockets are being a bit over valued in this spot. They come in off a good start to the season and winners of 3 straight, but this team still has a lot of question marks. They have been far too inconsistent to trust on the offensive end. Prior to this winning streak, they had a pair of 3 game losing streaks, as they have struggled to find any sort of consistent attack. They’re a younger team and their cold streaks shooting the ball tend to get magnified more. Memphis is a physical team that can cause a lot of issues. They will look to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. They can force tough shots and we’ve seen them force a lot of turnovers. This has the makings of a game where it’s going to be physical and close throughout. That will play into the favor of Memphis, who can lean on the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr., who is playing at a top level right now. Trends, Memphis are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games against Houston, plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. For Houston, they're currently 6-12 SU in their L18 against an opponent in the Southwest, and December hasn't been kind the last couple years to them. 4-9 SU in their L13 games played in December. Two bottom 5 offenses, against two top 10 defenses. I think this one will come down to steals, blocks and 3's. Memphis holds the edge in all. They'll keep this within the number on Wednesday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

OVER 222 7-14 (3-6 AWAY, 9-12 ATS) Hornets take on the 13-10 (5-4 HOME, 10-13 ATS) Heat in Miami tonight. Bang on the HEAT / HORNETS OVER 222 here. The Miami Heat have been showing signs of improvement, securing victory in three of their last five games. They are determined to maintain this momentum, especially after a hard-fought win against the Hornets on Monday. I'm expecting points. We're against the PUBLIC here. Both teams average around 113PPG, the Hornets though allow 121 PPG, the Heat 111 PPG. Both are bottom 15 in the NBA in FG%, and 3PT Attempts, and Miami has the advantage on the glass. The last time these two met was 12/11/23 and we a a 116-114 Miami win. (230 pts) Run-n-gun tonight. I think we'll see points from these two. Both are rested not having played since Monday. Trends, the total has gone OVER in Hornets 4 of L5, 6 of L7 when playing Miami in Miami, and 11 of their L16 vs. Eastern Conference teams. For the Heat, total has sailed OVER in 4 of their L6, and in 5 of their L7 when playing vs. Charlotte. Hop ON! Injuries. Ntilikinia, Ball, Williams for CHAR, and for MIA, Richardson, Adebayo, Herro.

12-13-23 | Bruins v. Devils -115 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
Devils -115 Probable Goalies: Ullmark (9-4-1, 2.71 GAA, 0.917 SV%) vs. Schmid (4-6-1, 3.03 GAA, 0.901 SV%) 18-5-3 (8-3-2 AWAY) Boston Bruins take on the 14-11-1 (5-6-1 HOME) New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. 7:30pm ET start time. The Devils are worth a move here in a game that is practically a pickem. New Jersey has been one of the most underwhelming teams in the NHL this season, but they’re starting to figure things out. Despite losing the final game of their road trip, they still cashed in 3 of their last 4. The Devils are starting to put together the offense that everyone was expecting to see. New Jersey is attacking and peppering the net much more, putting relentless pressure on. Boston is a physical team, but the Devils can match that. New Jersey is going to match up well here with a Boston team that has some gaps in their defense. This will be the kind of game where New Jersey is going to come out swinging early. The Devils play much better from in front and they have a new found attack that is aggressive. They’re going to push the tempo in this game, as Boston likes to try and play a slow game. We’re backing the Devils, who come home and will feed off this crowd energy. Some trends: Devils are 7-1 in their L8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and are 6-2 SU in their L8, plus, they're 5-2 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the Atlantic. On the other side, the Bruins are 1-4 in their L5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play |

12-13-23 | Boston University v. Dartmouth OVER 128.5 | 54-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 30 m | Show | |
OVER 128.5 7th in the IVY League Dartmouth (2-6, 3-6 ATS, 2-2 HOME) faces off against 3rd in the Patriot League Boston University (4-6, 3-4 ATS, 2-5 AWAY) Wednesday at 7:00pm ET at the Edward Leede Arena in Hanover, NH, and you can catch the action on ESPN+. The Big Green are slightly favored by 2.5 points. The initial total (O/U) over/under stands at 129. If you're looking at the moneyline, Dartmouth is at -143, while Boston U comes in at +118. The last time these two met BU won 67-59 on 12/13/22. Before that they met on 12/11/21 a 65-62 BU win. This is a low total and we should see both teams find success on the offensive side of the ball. Dartmouth has had games where they have turned things up a notch. They have allowed over 70 points per game this season and at times they’ve struggled to slow teams down in transition. Boston meanwhile has seen their games put up some points themselves. Their latest saw them put up 73 points in a win over Wagner. They have put up 70+ points in 4 of their last 5 games, which has been needed given their inconsistency on the defensive end. This has the makings of a game where both teams know they match up well with the opposing defense. Expect a game where physicality can also lead into some foul trouble both ways. That can give us some easy points with the clock stopped in a game that can see both teams reach the upper 60’s into the 70’s. Trends: The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's L6, and OVER has hit in 4 of BU's L5 games against an opponent in the Ivy League. For Dartmouth, the total has gone OVER in 5 of their L6 against an opponent in the Patriot League. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

12-12-23 | Red Wings v. Blues -125 | 6-4 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
Blues ML Probable Goalies: (Likely) Husso (8-4-2, 3.65 GAA) vs. Binnington (8-8-1, 3.00 GAA, 0.911 SV%) Tuesday in the home of the "Gateway To The West" its the 14-8-4 (6-4-1 AWAY) Detroit Red Wings taking on the 13-13-1 (7-4 HOME) St. Louis Blues in NHL betting action. Face-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO. Blues opened as -125 ML odds in this one. The O/U is set at 6. H2H record L10 between these two is owned by the Blues 7-2-1 averaging 3.70 GPG to DET's 2.40 GPG. Blues are 2-0-1 L3 vs. DET. Last time they met was 3/23/23 a 4-3 Blues Win. As I type this up the Wings are about to take on the Stars in Dallas. Then they have to grab a flight to St. Louis for a B2B with the Blues. Never an easy task. Reimer is starting on Monday night vs. Dallas. So no word yet on who they put in on Tuesday, likely NOT Reimer though. The Red Wings stand out with three goalies on the active roster, led by Husso's 14 appearances. For ST.L Binnington last started Saturday night in Chicago. He stopped 21/24 shots in a loss to the Hawks that he got no support in front of him. It's his 3rd loss L6 games. The Blues offense is to blame for his recent woes though, not him. Tuesday the Blues get a familiar team they've had some good success against recently in the Wings. This is a favorable matchup for him to regain his form and build some momentum. I believe the Blues are on the brink of a breakthrough. They're heating up, but the results haven't quite matched their performance. Being well-rested and facing the Red Wings in a b2b situation WILL give them an advantage. In their recent 2 losses to Columbus and Chicago, the Blues outshot their opponents 82-46 but only scored 3 goals while conceding 8. 6 of their next 8 are in St. Louis, so some home cookin' should do the trick here to get them back on track. Against the Red Wings, the Blues hold a 4-1-1 record in their recent 6 matchups and have earned points in 13 of the last 15. Trends: Blues are 7-1 L8 vs. Eastern Conference teams, and 4-1 L5 vs. Atlantic Div. teams. You know what to do here! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play |

Mavs +4.5 The Lakers (14-9, 12-12 ATS, 4-7 AWAY) and Mavs (14-8, 12-10 ATS, 6-4 HOME) are facing off in Dallas, TX at the American Airlines Center this Tuesday. The game kicks off at 7:30 pm ET and will be televised nationally on TNT. The initial NBA odds for this Lakers vs. Mavericks Moneyline (ML) show the Lakers at -130 and the Mavericks at +110, while the spread (ATS) favors the Lakers by -2 points, with a total Over/Under (O/U) set at 235. The Mavs are leading the series this season with a score of 1-0, and in that game, Luke scored an impressive 30 points. Dallas is currently on a hot streak, having won their last three games. On the other hand, the Lakers secured a 123-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers, claiming the 1st-ever In-Season Tournament championship on Sunday. This win marks their fourth consecutive victory. Taking a look at the injury report, Hood-Schifino and Vincent are confirmed OUT for LA, while the Mavs' injury situation remains uncertain. Kyrie is unavailable for tonight's game, and Grant Williams is expected to return, with Luka being questionable. Additionally, Hardaway Jr. and Jones Jr. are questionable, while Green and Kleber are OUT. Despite the odds, I'm sticking with my Mavs play. Historically, Dallas has dominated in 8 out of its last 10 against LAL, boasting an impressive 8-1-1 ATS record in their last 10 overall vs. LAL. I'm making a move NOW on the Mavs +4.5. I don't know if there will be a letdown for the Lakers coming off of the IST but I'm going to assume LeBron and AD's minutes are dialed back. Sure, Dallas played last night, but they've also been winning (So have the Lakers I know I know), I just think the value is with the Mavs on Tuesday night. Trends, Lakers 1-9 ATS in L10 vs. DAL, 1-6 SU L7 vs. DAL, 1-5 ATS L6 when playing IN Dallas. For Dallas, 4-2 ATS L6, 4-2 SU L6, 9-2 SU L11 in DEC. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Duke -15 Duke (6-3, 4-5 ATS) aims to keep their five-game home winning streak alive as they take on Hofstra (6-3, 4-4 ATS) Tuesday at 7:00pm ET at Cameron Indoor Stadium. You can catch this game on ESPN. The betting odds have the Blue Devils as the favorites by 15, with the over/under set at 146.5. Duke laying the points here is the move on Tuesday. This is by far the toughest competition Hofstra has faced here in 2023. They have had one of the lighter schedules in the NCAA and they’re not going to be up for this challenge. Duke has been dominant at home against sub par teams and they match-up well in every facet. The Blue Devils returned home and blew Charlotte out of the water and this game should be a similar case. Duke is averaging 81 points per game, while conceding just 65.9 on the season. This team overwhelms the likes of Hofstra with their ability to push the tempo and turn defense into offense.Hofstra doesn’t have the weapons to keep up in this one. Duke is going to dominate with their pressure and force Hofstra into turnovers. This game is just too lopsided and laying the points is the move. Trends, Hofstra are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. ACC teams. On the other side Duke are 16-4 SU in their L20, 19-1 SU in their L20 at home, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 versus CAC teams. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-11-23 | Titans v. Dolphins -13 | 28-27 | Loss | -110 | 143 h 28 m | Show | |
Dolphins -13 In Week 14 on Monday Night Football, we've got Tennessee (4-8, 5-7 ATS) facing off against the Dolphins (9-3, 8-4 ATS) in one of 2x MNF matchups. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. The early Moneyline odds show Titans at +550 and Dolphins at -800 (proceed with caution!). Looking at the spread, Dolphins are favored by -13 (-110), and the initial total (O/U) is set at 47. In their recent outings, the Titans came up short against the Colts, losing 31-28 as 1-point underdogs, while the Dolphins cruised to a 45-15 win over the Commanders, covering as 9-point road favorites. This marks the 40th meeting between these two, with Miami holding a 21-18 edge. Their most recent clash was Week 17 of 2021, Titans dominated 34-3 victory. It wasn't even a contest to be honest. Over their last 10 games, Miami holds a 6-4 record. Huge spread here in 1 of the 2 MNF games this week. But I'm never afraid of a huge line. Last time we played one like this we had the Cowboys a couple weeks ago, and it cleared easy. This is a fade on the Titans for a few reasons. For starters, this team has just battled so many key injuries, it’s been near impossible to overcome. The Titans have Levis running the show at QB, who just isn’t going to overpower anyone. Now, Henry may miss this contest and without him, this offense stands no chance to keep up with the Dolphins offense. Miami is averaging 32 PPG and they’re doing it with so many different weapons. They strike as quickly as anyone and they aren’t shy about throwing teams off with a little tempo. The Titans have been a disaster on the defensive side and they’re going to have their hands full with this Miami attack. This is just a lopsided game whichever way you look at it. Miami’s defense even is near the top in the league, allowing just 22 points per game. They’re going to have Tennessee on edge all night long. Plain and simple the Fins are the better team here, and I just don't see a path for a Titans cover. No way, no how! Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

12-11-23 | Mavs -1.5 v. Grizzlies | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Mavs -1.5 The Mavs are in a revenge spot here. Dallas (13-8, 11-10 ATS) gets to enact this revenge against the Grizzlies (6-15, 9-12 ATS) on Monday night after their 108-94 loss on December 1st. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. Dallas is the favorite by 1.5 points against the Grizzlies, and the over/under is set at 226 points. These are two completely different teams thus far into the season despite that game. Memphis is just 6-15 on the year as they have had zero consistency. They have put up just 106 PPG, which is one of the worst in the league. They’ve just been far too inconsistent to trust. They don’t have a big time player who can step up and they’re going to be overwhelmed with this Mavs side. Dallas has won back to back games and they’ve looked impressive in doing so. They put up 147 on Utah and 125 against Portland as they can go off at any moment. This team is built with playmakers and they can open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Dallas is going to come at Memphis from a lot of different sides here, giving them a ton of value at this line. Dallas just matches up well with this Grizzlies team. Dallas covered the spread in seven of the last nine meetings and has done so in the past five games at Memphis. The Grizzlies are also banged up on the player front. LaRavia, Smart, Kennard, Adams, Clarke are all out. Plus Morant is still suspended (until DEC 19). Trends, Mavs 7-2 L9 vs. the Grizz, and 5-0 ATS L5 on the road vs. Memphis. 8-2 L10 in DEC too! Grizz 6-14 L20 SU, and 1-9 SU L10 at home. Not an easy task here on Monday night. I'm backing the Mavs. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

Magic -2 (13-9, 9-13 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs are in Orlando On Monday to take on the Magic (15-7, 16-6 ATS, 10-1 HOME). 7pm ET tip-off from Amway Center, in Orlando FL. Orlando has the value in this spot. The Magic stand among the elite defensive teams in the league, allowing an average of 109.6 PPG, which ranks sixth as of games played on Friday. Simultaneously, they maintain the 13th-best offensive performance in the NBA, scoring an average of 114.5 PPG. They’re getting production all around right now. Recent Meetings: 12/6/23 121-111 CLE, and 4/6/23 118-94 CLE. Stats: PPG ORL 13th 114.5 | CLE 22nd 111, DEF ORL 6th 109PPG | CLE 7th 110PPG. Both top 10 at FG%, Orlando the better defensive team causing havoc too with more steals and blocks per game. On the glass both teams fairly close. The Magic have come out of the gates firing and they have been the biggest surprise in the NBA so far. They have 15 wins, which included a 9 game winning streak as well. They dropped back to back games but bounced back in a big way after beating Detroit last time out. The Magic have found success with their ability to push tempo on teams. They just fell to the Cavs last week in a game where they just dug themselves too early of a hole. Orlando is going to come out with a purpose here. Combine that with the Cavs still not at 100% health wise and Orlando has plenty of value. They have played extremely well at home this year and catch the Cavs in a good spot on Monday. Trends: Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, plus, they're 9-3 ATS L12, 10-2 SU L12, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Eastern conference teams, and 5-1 ATS vs. Central DIV teams. This is a bad spot for the Cavs on Monday. The value lays with the Magic. Give the points. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

76ers -11.5 Monday night the (3-18, ATS, AWAY) Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers (14-7, ATS, HOME) Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. H2H Phili owns a 3-0 record L3 these two have played. 12/6/23 131-126 @ WASH, 11/6/23 146-128 HOME, and 3/12/23 HOME 112-93. Philadelphia comes into this one against Washington just on a different spectrum than the Wizards. Washington is 3-18 on the year and they have been getting beaten up time and time again here in 2023. The latest was a 27 point loss to the Nets. Prior to that, they allowed 131 points to this Phili side. Washington has given up 125.3 points per game, which is one of the worst in the league. They allow opposing teams to get so many easy looks at the rim and in transition. The 76ers are in the midst of playing some good ball themselves too. They’ve won back to back games and in those two performances they’ve put up 131 and 125 points. The 76ers are going to have their way on the offensive side in this matchup, while forcing Washington into some tough shots on the defensive end. This is just a case of two teams going in total opposite directions. Trends: Wizards are 1-13 SU L14, 5-14 SU L19 vs. Phili, 2-17 SU L19 on the road, and finally they're 2-14 SU L16 when playing on the road vs. Phili. On the other side, Philadelphia are 4-2 ATS L6, 14-6 SU L20, and are 14-2 SU L16 when playing at home vs. Washington. Don't overthink this one. Phili will win by 15+. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-11-23 | Coyotes v. Sabres UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 41 m | Show | |
UNDER 6.5 Probable Goalies: Connor Ingram (11-5, 2.52 GAA, 0.92 SV%, 2SO's) vs. Devon Levi (4-4-2, 3.27 GAA, 0.891 SV%) Both of these clubs are bottom 15 in scoring in the NHL, and in shots on goal per game, so I'm expecting good goaltending and scoring chances to be limited on Monday night. The Coyotes (13-11-2, 5-6-2 AWAY) take on the Sabres (11-14-13, 5-7-1 HOME) in Buffalo, NY. Puck drop is at 7pm ET. The Yotes GK Ingram kicked out 24 of 29 shots in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday. Ingram also surrendered four markers in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday. While Ingram is working through a rough patch, he's been fairly consistent this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rebound. He's been in the zone for most of the season. So I'll cut him some slack here. It has been a dream season thus far for him, who has taken over the #1 spot with the Yotes. Meanwhile, Arizona experienced a shift in momentum after their impressive five-game winning streak, as they faced back-to-back regulation losses. In the other net, last game out Levi made 29 saves Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Habs. Levi has been sharp since his call-up from the AHL. The Sabres have a home record of 5-7-1 this season, which places them near the bottom of the league in terms of home points. But I'm expecting Levi to start. He's been HOT. 60 saves L63 shots. Trends, The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Buffalo's L9 vs. the Yotes, and the UNDER has hit in 8 of Buffalo's L10 IN Buffalo, and lastly, we've seen the UNDER in ALL of the Sabres last 5 games when playing at home against the Yotes. Last one, the UNDER is 7-1 in Sabres L7 games on 1 days rest. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Arizona's last 8 games against an Eastern conference teams. These two play again on Saturday, but for this one on Monday. HAMMER the UNDER. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NHL O/U Play |
