11-24-23 | Oregon State v. Oregon -13 | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 96 h 60 m | Show | |
Oregon -13 On Friday, it's a Pac-12 showdown as #6 Oregon (10-1) takes on #15 Oregon State (8-3) at Autzen Stadium. The opening odds are as follows: Oregon is the favorite with a spread of -13.5 points. The moneyline odds favor Oregon at -561, while Oregon State stands at +406. The total points for the game are set at 62.5. In their recent games, the Ducks dominated ASU with a 49-13 victory, while the Beavers faced a tough loss to Washington, falling 22-20. The Ducks and Beavers rivalry may feature the best talent of the two teams we've seen in many years. This however, is going to be overwhelming for the Beavers. Oregon is still holding out hope they can sneak into the BCS Playoff conversation with some help and they've done all they've needed to do with style points. Oregon racked up 42 first half points last week against Arizona State and Bo Nix is just on a different level once again. He has tossed for 3539 yards this year and has 35 touchdowns. While those numbers are outstanding, his ability to take care of the ball is the difference maker really. He has just 2 interceptions in 2023 and should pick apart this Oregon State defense. Oregon plays with such speed and they can score in flurries. They strike so quickly and Troy Franklin is just so tough to guard out wide. He racked up 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns last week and will be the main target here once again for Nix. Oregon is also playing to blow teams out when they can, knowing big wins are needed for the committee should it come down to that. Some trends to note, Oregon State are 3-12 SU in their L15 against Oregon, plus, they're 0-7 SU in their L7 games when playing on the road against Oregon. Oregon are 8-2-1 ATS in their L11, and they're 7-0 SU in their L7 at home, and are 11-4-1 in their L16 vs. Pac 12 teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play |

11-24-23 | Texas Tech v. Texas -14 | 7-57 | Win | 100 | 20 h 0 m | Show | |
Texas -14 Texas (10-1, 7-1 Big 12, 5-5-1 ATS) hosts Texas Tech (6-5, 5-3, 5-6 ATS) at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium this Friday, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The initial odds are as follows: Moneyline (ML) shows Texas Tech at +385 and Texas at -520 (I'd steer clear), while the Against the Spread (ATS) is Texas -13.5, and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 52.5 points. Texas is coming off a 26-16 victory against Iowa State on the road, covering the 6.5-point spread as the favorite. Meanwhile, Texas Tech narrowly defeated UCF Knights 24-23 last Saturday but couldn't cover as a 2-point favorite at home. We're backing the Longhorns here on Friday night as they welcome in rival Texas Tech. Texas has a lot riding on the line here as they are still playing for an outside chance at crashing the BCS Playoffs. The Longhorns currently sit at number 7 in the nation, but will receive some help as a couple of conference foes will have to play each other coming up. Texas should have a field day with this Red Raiders defense. Texas Tech comes in at 74th in the nation in total defense, as they have struggled to slow teams down. They're struggling at forcing turnovers and their inability to get off the field on 3rd down has been an issue. Texas has too dangerous of an offense in this spot. They also are playing for style points too. It could come down to a few one loss teams in the nation vying for a final Playoff spot. They won't be shy about getting a lead and doing whatever they can to put up. I'm not all about the offensive love for Texas today. Their D allows 2.9 yards per rush attempt, which put them in the Top 10 in the FBS. Good luck with that TT RB's. Trends, TT are 4-9 ATS in their L13, vs. UT, are 4-16 SU in their L20 vs. TEX, and are 2-10 SU in their L12 games when playing on the road against Texas. On the other side, Texas are 6-0 SU in their L6 games at home. This is a very nice spot for Texas to provide us with a lopsided win. I'm on UT tonight. Enjoy your Black Friday! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-24-23 | Iowa +2.5 v. Nebraska | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 19 h 35 m | Show | |
Iowa +2.5 It's "The Heroes Game" this week! On Friday, #19 Iowa (9-2, 2-1 AWAY, 5-5-1 ATS) take on Nebraska (5-6, 4-2 HOME, 4-6-1 ATS) in Lincoln. The Big Ten's West Division champion (Iowa) has clinched a place in the conference title match on December 2nd in Indy, while the Huskers need a win to get to a bowl game. I'm still scratching my head as to why Nebraska is favored. I had this feeling 2 weeks ago when BC played PITT and were dogs, and I wondered why, and I lost that pick. It left me angry. LOL I'm not losing this one. Iowa comes into this one with the #3 defense in the Nation allowing a paltry 12.3 PPG to Nebraska's 18.7 PPG. Iowa has won 2 of the L3 in this series, and 5 of the L6. Let's dive deeper into the series history. Nebraska, in its time with the Big Ten, took down Iowa 4 times, with 3 W's on the road and 1 at home. On the flip side, Iowa managed to best Nebraska 8 times, scoring 5 away W's and 3 home W's. IN NEB's favor Friday is the fact, Iowa's scoring average of 18.5 points per game ranks them 121st out of 130 FBS teams. NO Bueno. Answer me this...What has this team done to warrant being a favorite over a top 25 team, who is going to the Big 10 Championship? Nebraska ranks near the bottom in almost every offensive category for starters. They have dropped 3 straight games and have looked awful in doing so. Losses to Michigan State, Maryland, and Wisconsin were just dull performances. Now, we’re not saying Iowa is going to blow anyone out of the water here. However, this Iowa defense is one you can lean on in this matchup. They’ve been the best in a lot of different categories and they create turnovers. Nebraska’s offensive line is one of the worst in the conference, and should struggle with this front from Iowa. This will still be a field position game, but that’s Iowa’s speciality and they’ve dominated it in all 9 wins. Some trends to note, the UNDER is 7-0 in the Hawkeyes L7 road games, and they're 5-0 ATS in their L5 games as a underdog. Plus they're 6-1 SU in their L7, and 7-1 SU L8 vs. Nebraska, and 5-0 SU in their L5 when on the road in Lincoln. Huskers are 2-10 ATS in their L12 as a favorite, and they're 1-9-1 in their L11 as a favorite of 0.5-3. CHECK. This tells me this is going to be a backyard brawl on Friday. Iowa covers the +2.5. Ferentz secures his 196th win on Black Friday. I love it as a 9* play. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CFB ATS Play |

11-23-23 | Ole Miss -10 v. Mississippi State | 17-7 | Push | 0 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Ole Miss -10 Happy Thanksgiving! In Week 13 of 2023 NCAAF, we've got a matchup between the Ole Miss Rebels, with a record of 9-2, and the Mississippi State Bulldogs, sitting at 5-6. The game kicks off at 7:30 ET at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, MS. Check out the betting lines for this NCAA showdown: Ole Miss is favored at -11.5 points, and if you're into moneyline bets, Ole Miss is at -467, while Mississippi State stands at +346. As for the total points in this college football battle, the Over/Under is set at 55.5. We're playing Ole Miss here, laying the points in the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night. Ole Miss has a lot more to play for here for starters. They are looking to crash the New Year's Six Bowl party as they come in with just 2 losses on the season. The Rebels rank 12th nationally in total offense and 17th in the nation with 36.5 points per game. They love to work quickly and have the ability to strike for big plays. On the flip side of that, this Bulldogs team is not as threatening by any means whatsoever. They have the 104th offense in the NCAA and only put up 23.2 points per game as a result. This is just a mismatch when you look at it. Ole Miss is far superior on both sides of the ball and they can really dig a quick hole for Mississippi State. This should be a lopsided game where the Rebels dominate and clinch their way into a New Year's Six Bowl game. Trends, Ole Miss are 6-1 SU in their L7, are 5-1 SU in their L6 games against SEC teams. On the other side, MISSST are 2-8 ATS in their L10, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 games. Finally, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 games at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAF ATS Play |

11-23-23 | Commanders v. Cowboys UNDER 48 | 10-45 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
UNDER 48 Happy Thanksgiving! Get ready for some Thanksgiving Day NFL action as the Washington Commanders (4-7) take on the Dallas Cowboys (7-3) in Week 12. The game kicks off at 4:30 ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The betting lines favor the Cowboys by 11 points, and if you're feeling bold, Washington has enticing moneyline odds at +427, while the Cowboys stand at -593. As for the total points scored, the over/under is set at 48.5. The Cowboys and Commanders are in a nice under spot here in the middle game of Thanksgiving. Dallas has had a couple of games in a row now where the competition has been on the lighter side. They are going to play this game at a slow pace, really putting an emphasis on sustaining drives. That will play into our favor here with the clock moving constantly. Dallas should be able to utilize Tony Pollard and establish a run game. As a team last week they ran the ball 27 times and that number should even go up here. Washington also is going to look to keep the ball away from this Dallas offense as much as they can. They were right there with the Cowboys in rushing attempts last week at 28, which should go up as well here on Thursday. Look for both teams to utilize the clock in a low scoring affair. One trend I found, Under is 6-0 in Commanders last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NFL O/U Play |

11-23-23 | Packers v. Lions -7.5 | 29-22 | Loss | -110 | 65 h 19 m | Show | |
Lions -7.5 Happy Thanksgiving! The Green Bay Packers (3-7, 3-6-1 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) visit the Detroit Lions (7-2, 7-2 ATS, 4-1 HOME). I just don't see an angle for GB in this one. Lions Top 10 in the NFL in PPG, TYPG, TYPP, Rushing, Passing, Completion %, QB Rating, and 4th qtr scoring. It's an uphill climb for sure for GB on Thanksgiving. Kickoff from Ford Field on November 19th will be at 1pm ET. Watch it on FOX. How are the Lions only a -7.5pt favorite in this one? Remember week 4? Lions 34-Packers 20. Lions covered the -2.5. Also on 1/8/23 Lions 20-16 over GB. Don't expect the Packers to have Aaron Jones available in this one. In past Thanksgiving years, the Lions were never feared. This year, things are completely different. Detroit comes in 8-2 on the season and has all the momentum right now after their frantic comeback against the Bears last week. Detroit scored 15 points in the final 2 minutes to complete the comeback as they are a team right now that has everything working for them. Offensively, it has all started with David Montgomery, who is setting the tone on the ground. The Lions rank 5th in the NFL on the ground, putting up 136.6 yards per game. In total, this offense is firing away, averaging 399.6 yards per game (2nd in the NFL). They control the tempo and they can build a lead here to really frustrate the Packers. Green Bay ranks near the bottom in a lot of offensive categories themselves. Overall, they're in the bottom tier in total offense, ranking 21st in the entire league. Detroit should be able to dictate a lot in this game. They're much better on both sides of the ball and their ability to find the end zone is the difference. Lions 4-0 ATS in their L4 Thursday games. Packers 1-5 L6 as a DOG, and are 2-5 ATS L7. Plus GB are 2-5 SU L7, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. Lions. Lions are 7-1 SU L8, and 8-2 L10 ATS at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play |

11-21-23 | Bowling Green -1 v. Western Michigan | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 24 h 30 m | Show | |
Bowling Green -1 Bowling Green (6-5, 4-3 in MAC, 7-4 ATS) and Western Michigan (4-7, 3-4 MAC, 7-4 ATS) clash with the game set to start at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU at Waldo Stadium. In their recent matchup, Bowling Green defied the odds as a 9.5-point underdog, covering the spread in a close 32-31 loss to Toledo. On the flip side, Western Michigan couldn't cover the spread, falling short as a 4-point underdog in a 24-0 defeat against NIU. MACtion! We're playing the Falcons on Tuesday night in the season finale for both Bowling Green and Western Michigan. The Falcons come in with 6 wins and are bowl eligible and this is going to be an angry bunch when they come out here. After rattling off 4 straight wins, they blew a huge lead over rival Toledo last week. Still, take away from that game that Bowling Green should have in fact beat the Rockets who are one of the best in the MAC. Bowling Green will lean on their defense here and should be able to contain this Western Michigan offense. The Falcons rank 37th in the entire nation in total defense, while the Broncos counter with the 80th scoring offense in the NCAA. The edge sits with Bowling Green there as they are going to frustrate this Western Michigan offense all night long. Bowling Green's offense is also clicking here as they run a balanced attack. They can not only wear down opposing defenses, but they're going to feed off this WMU side that allows over 31 points per game (110th in the NCAA). Bowling Green are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. Western Michigan are 3-7 SU in their L10. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Eagles v. Chiefs -2.5 | 21-17 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 25 m | Show | |
Chiefs -2.5 Get ready for an exciting Monday Night Football showdown tonight! The Eagles (8-1, 5-2-2 ATS) are taking on the Chiefs (7-2, 6-3 ATS) in a Super Bowl LVII rematch. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN Arrowhead. In the past, these two teams have faced each other five times since 2009, with the Chiefs holding a 4-1 series lead and a 4-1 ATS record. We’re on the Chiefs here in this rematch. Kansas City is the better team overall. Here are the opening lines, Eagles with a Moneyline (ML) of +120, and the Chiefs at -145 for those who prefer straight up bets. The Chiefs are also favored with a -2.5 (-115) ATS line, and the Over/Under (O/U) total points are set at 47. Both teams are well-rested for this matchup. The Chiefs are coming off a bye week after a 21-14 victory over the Dolphins in Germany, while the Eagles, also enjoying a bye, are riding a three-game winning streak, most recently defeating NFC East rival Dallas 28-23 in Week 9. Chiefs enter this one allowing 15.9PPG (3rd in NFL). Eagles allow 28PPG (29th) Chiefs second in sacks and will be coming after Hurts all night long. KC have always been known for their offensive production under Mahomes, but now they’re getting defensive performances here in 2023. They’re forcing turnovers and not allowing anything easy for the opposition. Kansas City will also have this home crowd to feed off of. Arrowhead is going to be loud and it’ll give the Chiefs a lot of energy to work with. Mahomes will utilize a lot of different receivers, which should produce some big plays down field for this Chiefs offense. Andy Reid's team hung 38 on the Eagles last year. What will they do for an encore? Some trends to note, with the Chiefs Andy Reid 15-9 ATS after a bye week, and 21-3 SU. Philadelphia are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas City, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the American Football Conference West division. On the other side Kansas City are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, 11-1 SU at home L12, and are 15-2 SU in their L17. I'm on the Chiefs MNF. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NFL ATS Play |

11-19-23 | Vikings +2.5 v. Broncos | 20-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Vikings +2.5 6-4 (6-3-1 ATS, 4-1 AWAY) Minnesota come into Denver 4-5 (3-5-1 ATS, 2-3 HOME) on SNF. Weather looks to be decent. 40F gametime temp 40% chance of rain, and 10-13mph winds. The venue is Denver's Mile High Stadium, and it will host the NFL action at 8:20pm ET on NBC. This is the first time these teams met since November 17, 2019. Back then, the Vikings won 27-23 in Minnesota. They're also ahead in their overall head-to-head matchups, 8-7.The Vikings are on a hot streak, winning their last five, including the last two with Joshua Dobbs as their quarterback. In his initial two games with Minnesota, Dobbs threw for 426 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also ran for 110 yards and found the end zone twice. Their record stands at 6-4 after a solid 27-19 victory over the Saints last week. Meanwhile, the Broncos have also been impressive, securing three consecutive wins, with their most recent being a surprising 24-22 upset against the Bills in Buffalo. Who would have expected a showdown between Russell Wilson and Joshua Dobbs at the start of the year? The opening odds favor the Broncos at -150 on the Moneyline, while the Vikings stand at +125. The point spread has the Broncos at -3 (-105), and the Over/Under is set at 41 (O: -110 | U: -110). While the Broncos are the slight favorites at home, they've had less time to prepare compared to the Vikings, having played in Buffalo on Monday night. The Vikings will be without Justin Jefferson once again, but they've managed without him for the past six weeks. Mattison should be back, as should Osborne. Minnesota has made significant strides in the past six weeks, and their aggressive blitzing under Brian Flores, the former Miami HC, has been effective. As for Russell Wilson, he's not known for handling blitzes well, and that might be a factor in this game. IN all honesty, Wilson wouldn't know a blitz if it came up and slapped him in the face...which they usually do. Trends, Minnesota are 5-0 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU too, plus they're 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 on the road, and 7-2 SU vs. AFC teams L9. Denver are 6-12 SU in their L18, and 2-4 ATS L6 at home, and 2-4 ATS in their L6 in NOV. The play is the VIKINGS +2.5 on NBC's SNF. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-19-23 | Bucs v. 49ers UNDER 42 | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 102 h 57 m | Show | |
Under 42 Tampa Bay (4-5) and San Francisco (6-3) clash on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. The game starts at 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). In their last match, the Bucs had a smooth 20-6 win against the Titans. Meanwhile, the 49ers are currently tied for first place in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, the Niners crushed the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-3 and they even covered the spread as 3-point favorites. We're on this Under for a few reasons here. This has the feeling of a Thursday night game a few weeks ago when the Bills met this Bucs team. The game was just dominated by the Bills on time of possession as they methodically went down the field and chewed a lot of the clock up in a game that went under.The 49ers can do the same here. They love to utilize Christian McCaffrey and allow him to set the tone in games. With that, comes a lot of runs and short check downs in the pass game. That keeps this clock running and it'll be the strategy here. We've also seen Baker Mayfield struggle against defenses like this. The Bucs have had issues moving the ball and they aren't going to be able to figure out this secondary. This will be the kind of slow paced game where it's a struggle to find anything deep down field In the pass game. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Tampa Bay's L7 games. Plus on the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 5 of the 49ers' L7 games played in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL O/U Play |

UNDER 37.5 6-3 Pittsburgh Steelers take on the 6-3 Cleveland Browns in AFC North action in Week 11 on Sunday at 1pm ET from Cleveland Browns Stadium. We're going to play the UNDER in this one. Unfortunate news landed in Cleveland on Wednesday morning as Watson will be sidelined for the remainder of the year with a broken bone in his shoulder. This completely changes the complexion of their game now as PJ Walker will take the reins. We've seen this offense struggle with him at the helm. Now, both teams are going to lean on their defenses. Both defenses feature a lot of playmakers who love to cause havoc in the backfield. We're going to see both teams look to slow things down and establish run games. With how well both defenses can make plays, this has the makings of a game where neither team wants to make the crucial turnover. It's going to be a battle of controlling possession in this one. Some trends we're watching. The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Pittsburgh's L7, and the total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Steelers L10 when playing on the road against the Browns, plus we've seen the total hit the UNDER in 5 of Pittsburgh's L5 vs. AFC teams. On the other side the total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Browns L8 at home. Get down on the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 6* NFL O/U Play |

11-19-23 | Titans v. Jaguars -6.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 140 h 26 m | Show | |
Jaguars -6.5 3-6 (4-5 ATS) Tennessee Titans take on the 6-3 (6-3 ATS) Jacksonville Jaguars in AFC South action in Week 11 on Sunday at 1pm ET from EverBank Stadium. We're going to play on the JAGS in this one. The Jags were humbled last week and now they're in a full bounce back spot on Sunday. This is the perfect matchup for them to get back into rhythm. JAX was throttled by the Niners, but this Titans team is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum compared to San Francisco. The Titans managed just 6 points against the Bucs last week and they struggle mightily on the defensive end. Lawrence is going to have a field day with this secondary. Combine that here with how bad the Titans are on the road too. Tennessee will be playing their third straight on the road, where they are 0-5 this season. They've failed to cover in their last 2 games during this road stretch as well. We're backing the better team, who has a far better offense. Jacksonville has dominated the bottom tier teams in the NFL thus far in 2023. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on...shame on... The Titans are not who we thought they were. The Jags made the 49ers look like Super Bowl contenders again. They've been humbled and I expect to see a much different Jags team on Sunday vs. their divisional foes. Some trends we're watching. The Titans are 1-4 ATS in their L5, plus, they're 3-13 SU in their L16, also Tennessee are 2-9 SU in their L11 against AFC teams. On the flip side, the Jags are 5-1 ATS in their L6 ,and 5-1 SU in their L6, are 7-3 SU in their L10 at home, and are 10-3 in their L13 vs. AFC south teams. Get down on the Jags on Sunday -6.5.

Over 47.5 In Week 11, Arizona (2-8) hits the road to face Houston (5-4) at NRG Stadium. The game kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. Arizona recently broke a six-game losing streak with a thrilling 25-23 win over the Falcons, sealing the victory with a last-second play. Meanwhile, the Texans are riding high after two consecutive nail-biting victories. Last week, they surprised everyone with a 30-27 upset against the Bengals in Cincinnati, securing the win with a last-minute field goal as time ran out. This one now has the ability to be an exciting game. With Kyler Murray back for Arizona, the Cardinals come in off a walk off win as Murray made some magic down the stretch of the game. Houston is starting to open a lot of eyes here with Stroud too. The Texas went into Cincinnati and came out with a win themselves as they hit a walk off field goal for a 30-27 victory. Houston has looked incredibly good as of late with Stroud putting together a lot of good performances. Meanwhile, Arizona looks completely different with Murray calling the shots. The offense is moving the ball and they have the big play ability. We're going to see a game where both teams should be able to move the ball with success. Expect a lot of fireworks and for this game to be high scoring with the playmakers each team has. The total has gone OVER in 6 of Arizona's L9. It's shaping up to be an exciting clash between these two teams, so stay tuned for some gridiron action this Sunday afternoon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play |

11-19-23 | Chargers v. Packers +3 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 92 h 33 m | Show | |
Packers +3 Sunday Week 11 betting action and we get the (4-5, 4-5 ATS) LA Chargers coming to Green Bay to take on the Packers. (3-6, 4-5 ATS). Kickoff at Lambeau is slated for 1 p.m. ET, watch it on FOX. These two have been playing since the early 70's, but have only met 12x thru the years. (NFC/AFC) GB owns a 10-2 edge. Last matchup LAC won it, 26-11 in 2019. Last game out the Chargers lost a nail-biter to the Packers NFC north rival Lions 41-38. The Packers lost a game I picked them to win last week, going down to Pittsburgh 23-19, they couldn't cover the 3. Turnovers and terrible red-zone offense killed em. The Packers will sport their 1950s throwback Classic Uniforms this Sunday. All things considered, it should create a historic ambiance at Lambeau. Nothing like some nostalgia to get the crowd going, and fire the team up. I wasn't overly down on the Pack last week. They did put up 399 yards, and showed good fight against a Steelers team that seems to just win games no matter the circumstances.I think vs. LAC they'll finish their drives, and the run-game will click. It usually does at home. Watson will be fine, stop over-reacting cheeseheads. He's still developing, but he's coming along. The key to scoring in the red zone is to run the ball, I'm sure we'll see more of a commitment to pounding the rock vs. LAC on Sunday. Despite being 3-point underdogs at home, I expect them to cover against the Chargers. LAC have struggled, going 2-6 ATS in their last 8 matchups with the Packers, 1-7 SU in their last 8 against GB, and 1-4 SU in their last 5 visits to Lambeau. If the Packers can prevent Ekeler, Herbert, and Allen from going off all afternoon with explosive plays the Packers will come out on top. I think they'll do it. Packers have been close to a lot of INT's this year, maybe some will start getting caught! LOL. Anyways I love a home dog...Ok! I'll bite (some cheese). Back the Pack! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Under 47.5 Texas (9-1, 6-1 Big 12, 4-6 ATS) is set to face off against the Iowa State (6-4, 5-2 Big 12, 6-4 ATS) in the Corn State (LOL, isn't that what it is?) this Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, IA. The game kicks off at 8pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX. A night game here pins UT and ISU against one another here so the atmosphere will be LIT. This matchup has always provided a lot of interesting games and closely played games. That should be the case once again here as health is going to play a part as well. In terms of betting, Texas holds the advantage with a -300 ML, while Iowa State stands at +260 for ML bettors. The initial point spread (ATS) was Texas -7.5 and the Over/Under opened at 48.5, we're still remaining close to that mark. Both quarterbacks had solid performances last week, with Ewers and Becht putting up good numbers. However, the focus may shift to the run game, as both teams aim to control the clock. Most recently, Iowa State saw them defeat BYU 45-13, covering as a 7.5-point road fav. Texas, on the other hand, comes into the game on a 4-game win streak, albeit failing to cover as a 12.5-point road fav vs. TCU, they did win 29-26. Bad news though, Texas RB Jonathan Brooks tore his ACL last week and will obviously miss the rest of the year. He was such a huge piece to this offense and now they will struggle with having that spark offensively. In their last 10 meetings since 2013, Texas leads Iowa State 6-4, with 8 of those games going under the total. Their most recent clash in October 2022 ended with a 24-21 victory for Texas, staying under the total 48.5. Iowa State likes to go at a slow pace and they will have to control the tempo in this game if they hope to have a chance to win this. Iowa State, especially, looks dangerous with their 235-yard rushing performance last week, led by Sama III. Expect to see more of that ground game strategy in this matchup. The Under has hit in 8 straight meetings between these two teams and Texas has gone under in their last 6 games against unranked teams. We're going to see a game where there isn't a lot of deep plays down field. Some more trends, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Texas' L8, and in 4 of the L5 vs ISU. Also, the total has gone UNDER in 13 of Iowa State's L18, and 8 of Iowa State's L9 at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play |

11-18-23 | Washington v. Oregon State -2 | 22-20 | Loss | -110 | 82 h 43 m | Show | |
Oregon State -2 As you know, I'm a west-coast HONK, and love these Pac 12 games. The #10 Oregon State (8-2) is set to take on the #5 Washington Huskies (10-0) at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, OR, in a big Pac-12 showdown. Weather will be mid 50's and RAIN in the forecast. In their last games, the Beavers triumphed 62-17 over Stanford, while the Huskies secured a 35-28 win against Utah. This is a tough play for me, as you know I'm a Washington grad. But, on Saturday we're backing the Beavers in what should be the best game on the slate here this week. This game features a quarterback clash between Michael Penix Jr. and D.J. Uiagalelei, both likely future NFL players. Last week, Penix had a solid performance, going 24/42 for 332 yards, 2 TDs, and no interceptions, while Uiagalelei was equally impressive with 240 yards on 12/19 passing (63.2%), 2 TDs, and 0 INTs. Oregon State opens as favorites against the #5 team in the nation and they should have all the confidence coming into here. They are undefeated at home this season and have a 62 point performance last week to build off of. Washington survived last week, but this defense looks very suspect coming into play on Saturday. The Huskies have a lot of gaps exposed by Utah and this Beavers team is going to feed off of those. Look for the Beavers to have a lot of success with the big play as they can match Washington's attack. With the crowd here going to be a huge factor, Oregon State should have all the energy here to shake up the College Football Playoff standings. Washington emerged victorious in their previous encounter with OREGON STATE, winning 24-21. They've also dominated the series, winning 10 of the last 11 games (It's a tough choice for me, to be honest! LOL). However, the Beavers did manage to beat the Huskies 27-24 in their last matchup in Corvallis back in 2021. Trends, Washington are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6, and 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. OST. Flip it, and Oregon State are 13-4 ATS in their L17, and are 12-2 SU in their L14, and are 9-0 SU in their L9 at home. Last one, OST is 5-1 in their L6 vs. Pac 12 schools. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-18-23 | UCLA v. USC -5.5 | 38-20 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
USC -5.5 6-4 (4-6 ATS) UCLA vs. 7-4 (3-8 ATS) USC Just can't lay off the Pac 12 games this weekend. Backing USC on Saturday. This line has dropped a 1/2 point since open and I'll take it. Weather will be in the low 70's...(Who Am I Kidding..its LA) There might be 5mph winds...ewwww. In the history of their matchups, USC has taken the lead with a 50-33-7 record (not counting two vacated USC wins (violations). I know, I know...USC's D hasn't been good of late. I get it, but they're playing UCLA. This is their last Pac 12 matchup, with LA bragging rights on the line. You don't think they can't get up for this one? Their most recent showdown happened on November 19, 2022, resulting in a 48-45 victory for USC. UCLA hasn't been faring well lately, losing two consecutive games to Arizona teams, with a recent 17-7 setback against ASU. The Bruins have only managed to secure 1 road win since September, vs. Stanford (ages ago). On the other hand, USC may have lost to formidable Top 10 teams like Washington and Oregon, but they put up a good fight in both, staying within single digits. There's some buzz about coaching changes and team motivation, with reports suggesting Kelly is facing challenges at UCLA. With all this in mind, I have more confidence in USC and Caleb Williams. He's tied with Nix for passing TD's in the Nation with 29, plus he has 11 rush TD's. He's the better QB in this matchup. No brainer. So, my pick is to go with USC. UCLA are 1-4 ATS L5, 2-6 SU in their L8 vs. SC, and 2-10 L12 when playing USC at USC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAA ATS Play |

11-18-23 | Utah v. Arizona -1 | 18-42 | Win | 100 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Arizona -1 On Saturday at 2:30 PM ET, we've got an exciting Pac 12 college football showdown happening in Tucson, Arizona, at Arizona Stadium. You can catch all the action on the Pac 12 Network. The #22-ranked Arizona Wildcats (7-3, 7-2 ATS, 4-1 HOME) will be hosting the #16-ranked Utah Utes (7-3, 6-3-1 ATS, 2-2 AWAY). It's shaping up to be my second favorite Pac 12 matchup of the day, right behind the UW/OST game, of course. The Wildcats come in as slight favorites (-1) against the Utes, and the over/under for the game is set at 46 points. The Cats still can get into the Pac 12 Championship game, so a TON to play for here. Also, good bye Pac 12 as both join the Big 12 in 2024. In their previous game, the Wildcats secured a 34-31 victory over Colorado, while Utah had a tough battle at Husky Stadium in Seattle, falling 35-28 to UW. There are four key players to watch in this matchup, all of them on the offensive side. Quarterback Fifita had a solid performance in the last game, throwing for 214 yards with a 60% completion rate, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs. It wasn't his best game of the year, but he's still a STUD, and I'm expecting his passing yardage and completion numbers to jump back up! Running back Coleman rushed for an impressive 179 yards on just 11 carries. And don't forget about Cowing, the wide receiver with 70 receptions, 518 yards, 51.8 yards per game, and 10 touchdowns. McMillan, another wide receiver, displayed explosive speed in the previous game, and we'll be looking for him to repeat that performance on Saturday. All four of these guys have the potential to make a significant impact, especially with the home advantage on Arizona's side. I'm not saying Utah doesn't have their own weapons, hell, they've got the better Coach in this matchup and don't give up till the end, in any game, ever, I'm just higher on Arizona in this one. AZ 30PPG, UT 25, AZ 275PYPG, Utah 147, RUYDS Utah 192, AZ 152, they run the same # of plays, but AZ avg. 1 yard more per, and both are pretty close on the possession numbers. It's going to be a close game. The spread reflects that. Utah looks tired to me. As for the prediction, Utah might not be exhausted, but they will likely be feeling the effects of their recent travel schedule, going from Utah to Washington and then back to Utah before heading to Arizona within a span of seven days. It's not the ideal situation for them. Arizona's injury report looks a lot smaller too. Trends, H2H Utah is 3-0 L3. Averaging 39PPG to AZ's 19. However, Arizona are 5-1 ATS in their L6, are 4-1 SU L5, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Pac 12 teams. Utah is 3-3 L6. Arizona has a 19-25-2 record all-time against Utah, and they last met Nov 5, 2022 a 45-20 Utah win. The tides will flip on Saturday and AZ will get their 5th straight W (2014 was last time I could say that). Go Cats! Saturday 9* NCAAF ATS Play |

11-18-23 | Coastal Carolina -3.5 v. Army | 21-28 | Loss | -115 | 74 h 2 m | Show | |
Coastal Carolina -3.5 Coastal Carolina (7-3) takes on Army (4-6) at Michie Stadium in West Point, NY this Saturday, with CBS broadcasting the game. The initial odds favored Coastal Carolina by 3.5 points, with a total score projection of 42.5 points. For Moneyline bettors, Coastal Carolina stands at (-168) and Army at (+142). We're playing Coastal here, on the road at Army. Coastal Carolina is going to impose their will on this Army team. These two teams play such a contrast in styles and Coastal has the defense to stop this triple option attack. Army has still struggled offensively, despite even winning their last two games as they haven't had much spark. Even with the triple option in the past, they have been able to find some big plays at times. Those haven't come this year and now they face an explosive Coastal team that can score quickly. Winners of 5 in a row, Coastal continues to put up points and they're getting stops on the defensive end. Look for them to force Army into playing at an uncomfortable pace. Key players like Grayson McCall (1,919 PASS YDS, 10 TD), Braydon Bennett (5 TD, 151 YDS), and Pinckney (6 TD, 763 YDS) are pivotal to CC's success this season, leading the offense. Coastal will speed this game up on them and produce some big plays downfield. The Chanticleers recently triumphed over Texas State, securing a 31-23 victory, while the Black Knights squeezed out a 17-14 win against Holy Cross in their last matchup. Trends, Coastal Carolina are 5-0 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU too. Plus they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the other side, Army are 2-5 SU in their L7 games, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play |

11-17-23 | Colorado +5 v. Washington State | 14-56 | Loss | -110 | 61 h 33 m | Show | |
Colorado +5 The (4-6, 2-2 AWAY) Colorado Buffaloes take on the (4-6, 3-2 HOME, ) WSU Cougars tonight in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS college football action. Weather will be chilly (low 40's), low winds, and low precipitation as of this AM in the forecast) Friday Night Lights in Pullman, WA. Sounds great doesn't it? LOL (Sarcasm Meter) I wish this matchup was in September when both teams were HOT. (COL 3-0, WSU 4-0). Anyways, I digress. We were on Colorado +10 last week at home and that one paid off, so I'm going back to the well with Prime this week. The Buffs have value on Friday night, grabbing the points. Colorado needs wins this week and in their finale at Utah to have any chance at a bowl game in Sanders' first season. Colorado has been close in their last 5 losses, as this team isn't far off from where they want to be. The latest was a 34-31 loss to Arizona on a last second field goal, as it was another game they fell by one possession. Still, this offense is finding it's groove once again as they are putting up big numbers. Shedeur Sanders threw for a pair of TDs while racking up 262 yards last week and is continuing to improve with each game. Colorado has far more weapons than Washington State and this is the perfect spot in the national stand alone spotlight to showcase they aren't done this season. Some trends, Colorado are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6, while Washington State are 1-5 ATS in their L6. Wazzu are also 0-6 in their L6 SU, and 0-5 SU in their L5 vs. Pac 12 schools. The good times seem to be missing lately. Washington State (1-6 vs. Pac 12) has lost 6 consecutive games, while Colorado (1-6 vs. Pac 12) has been on a four-game losing streak and has only won once in their last 7, with their solitary win being a 27-24 victory against ASU. I believe CU has the better QB in Sanders. Ball protection will be key, and I don't trust Ward after his 3 fumbles last week. Tonight I'm rollin' with Coach Prime. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-16-23 | Bengals v. Ravens OVER 46 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
OVER 46 Cincinnati (5-4, 4-4-1 ATS, 2-2 AWAY) faces off against Baltimore (7-3, 6-4 ATS, 3-2 HOME) in Week 11's Thursday Night Football at M&T Bank Stadium. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET and can be watched on Prime Video. Weather doesn't look to be a factor (mid 50's). We're on this Over here as the AFC North pins rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati in a crucial matchup. The OVER has connected in the L3 between these two. Plus we hit the OVER in G1 earlier in the year. Baltimore won 27-24 at Cincinnati in Week 2. Baltimore and Cincinnati both have star QBs at their helms as Burrow and Jackson are going to go toe to toe in this one. This is the kind of game where the playmakers step up in a big way. Both defenses looked very suspect last week, as Cincinnati allowed 30 points to the Texans, while the Browns dropped 33 on the Ravens (albeit 6 of those points came from a pick six). Still, this is the kind of game where we should see plenty of big plays from both teams. Both offenses have the ability to strike quickly and will open things up a bit more given the circumstances in this one. Look for a back and forth game all night long. I'm not at all bothered if Tee Higgins is out. I'm fully confident in Tyler Boyd to step in and fill his WR #2 shoes. Last game out Lamar went 13/23 223 yards 1TD and 2INT's in that 33-31 loss to the Browns. He had 8 carries for 41 yards. For Burrow, last game out he went 27/40 347 YDS, 2 TD's 2 INT's, and 5 carries for 20 YDS, in that 30-27 loss to the Texans. If him and Jackson keep turning the ball over we could see some short field's which would help push this over too. Burrow heads into this game with 2 & 5 game streaks of 300yds & multi-TD efforts, respectively. Expect more of the same tonight. The Ravens played with a lead for most of the CLE game, so they relied on the run and the clock chewed along. Tonight I'm expecting less run, more pass. That helps the OVER. Both teams can quick strike it too. They have the weapons. Trends, 4 of Cinci's L6 against AFC North teams have gone OVER. Plus, the total has gone OVER in 5 of the Ravens L6 against Cinci. Expect points tonight. No more NFL Under trends! LOL Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NFL O/U Play |

11-16-23 | Boston College +3 v. Pittsburgh | 16-24 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
BC +3 Tonight in ACC football, it's Boston College (6-4, 3-3 ACC, 4-6 ATS) facing off against Pitt (2-8, 1-5 ACC, 3-7 ATS) at Acrisure Stadium. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN. Pitt is a -3pt favorite, the O/U is set at 45.5. Weather won't be a factor. (High 50's) Boston College recently secured their spot in a bowl game with their 6th win, a 17-10 victory over Syracuse two weeks ago. They even covered the 1-point spread. However, their momentum took a hit last week with a 48-22 loss to VATECH. Still, BC is one of the top running teams in the country. (12th, 202YPG), AND they're 70th in the country averaging 26PPG. On the other hand, Pitt, with a 2-8 record, has no chance of making it to a bowl game, they're allowing 28.2 PPG, and it's not pretty. It's puzzling why they are the favored team tonight. They suffered their fourth straight loss, falling 28-13 to the Orange at Yankee Stadium last Saturday as 3.5-point favorites. The Orange didn't even have to pass as Pitt's run-D was so terrible. (66 attempts 382 yards rushing, 2 TD's) BC's O-Line is licking their chops for this one tonight. In the last four games, the Panthers have scored 17 or fewer points each time. It's clear that they lack the offensive firepower to keep up with Boston College this evening. Pitt has lost by double digits 6x this year. H2H these two are 5-5 in their L10, with BC 6-4 ATS. They last matched up Oct 10, 2020, a 31-30 BC win. Eagles have won the L2. Pitt still 5-3 L8. Some trends, Boston College are 5-1 SU in their L6. On the other side, Pitt are 2-7 ATS in their L9, and 1-8 SU, plus they're 1-5 SU in their L6 ACC matchups. I cleaned my glasses this AM, and yes Boston College is clearly the better team in this matchup. I'm on BC +3. Don't overthink it. If the Orange can go crazy on Pitt so can BC. "It's not a TRAP."

Under 39.5 A MACtion play for Humpday! Has a nice ring to it..hey? Tonight we get the Buffalo Bulls (3-7, 5-5 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) taking on the Miami-OH Redhawks (8-2, 8-2 ATS, 3-1 HOME). Miami is a 9pt favorite the O/U is 39.5. Watch this one on ESPN2. Miami and Buffalo are an even 4-4 against each other since October 2015 in the L8. H2H records over the L3 games BUFF owns a 2-1 advantage. They've averaged 28PPG in those 3 games to M-OH's 25. Last games out, Miami took down Akron 19-0. Akron mustered up 212 total yards. Buffalo lost 20-10 to Ohio. A game they decided to stay in the locker room for in the second half. They were terrible. Buffalo did win the last matchup between these two, a 24-20 win in October 2022. We're on the Under as Miami welcomes in Buffalo for Senior Day on Wednesday night. This is a tale of two teams just in complete opposite directions. Buffalo has been a mess this year as they simply cannot find the endzone. Meanwhile, Miami Ohio has been stellar on the defensive side of things, while playing a very slow tempo on the offensive side.This should be the kind of game where the run games are the headliner. Neither team will take shots down field and the clock should be running constantly with all the runs. The Under has been a nice play for both teams and we should see Miami Ohio be the ones who control the possession in this game. They will sustain drives and chew a lot of this clock. Weather will be in the mid-50's, no rain or wind in forecast. Some trends, we've seen the total STAY UNDER in 6 of the L6 for the Bulls. Plus the total has gone UNDER in 5 of the L5 vs. MAC teams for Buffalo. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of the RedHawks' L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CFB MACtion O/U Play |

Toledo -10.5 The (9-1, 5-5 ATS) Toledo Rockets take on the (6-4, 6-4 ATS) Bowling Green Falcons tonight at 7pm ET from the Doyt L. Perry Stadium in Bowling Green, OH. Toledo has taken down GB in 8 of their L10 H2H matchups, however the last time they locked horns BG got the W 42-35. Toledo is going to be the MAC West representative as they come in continuing to just dominate. They are 9-1 overall and undefeated in MAC play as they’re torching the opposition. This Rockets team can certainly crack the Top 25 with a win here or at least be right in the middle of the conversation.Their lone loss was Week 1 on a last second game to Illinois. Since then, they’ve ran over teams and are putting up big offensive numbers. The Rockets dropped 49 on the Eagles last week and should be able to pick apart this Bowling Green secondary. Look for them to start this off by wearing them down with the run, which should in turn open up a lot of passing lanes. The Rockets have been dominating MAC opponents, their ground game, led by Peny Boone, is especially strong, averaging 7.1 YPC and he's grabbed himself 12 touchdowns this season. The Falcons allow 3.9 YPC, and they haven't faced anyone of note. I just don't see BG slowing him down. We’re backing the better team on both sides of the ball. Toledo are 9-0 SU in their L9, and are 11-2 SU in their L13 games against Bowling Green. On the flip side, Bowling Green are 1-5 SU in their L6 playing at home against the Rockets. Let's ride the Rockets tonight. Up next, the MAC championship game for Toledo. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 6* CFB ATS Play |

11-13-23 | Broncos +7.5 v. Bills | 24-22 | Win | 100 | 34 h 23 m | Show | |
Broncos +7.5 The Broncos (3-5, Broncos 2-5-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) and the Buffalo Bills (5-4, 3-6 ATS, 4-0 HOME) meet on Monday in MNF at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, NY at 8:15pm. Watch this one on ESPN. In Week 9 Denver had a BYE week to gameplan, and get healthy for this matchup. Their last game Oct. 29, was the upset W over KC 24-9 as a +7 underdog. It was actually the Broncs first underdog W since Week 8 (2022). They've won 2 in a row, and their offense was clicking, and their pass rush was a huge factor. In Week 9 we saw Buffalo play the Bengals. Buffalo took the L, which was their 5th straight loss ATS, 24-18. The early week odds for this one had the Broncos +310 and Bills -400 on the ML, and ATS we're seeing the Bills -7.5. The O/U Total is set at 46.5. This rivalry goes back to 1960. The two have played 40x and the Bills have a 23-16-1 edge. Buffalo has won the L3 vs. Denver, and 5 of the L6. Broncos have consecutive games with 145 rushing yards, and it's clear the only way they keep this one close is to chew up clock on the run game. Javonte Williams is healthy and sitting at 357 RU yds on the season. He had his best game vs. KC (27car. 85 yds, 3 rec. 13 yds 1TD). To spell him the Broncs are using Jaleel McLaughlin as a chance of pace back, and sprinkle in Perine in short yardage. With the injuries to the Bills defense the Denver run game presents a clear and present danger in this one. If RW can hit some downfield targets to Sutton, Jeudy and Mims we'll have ourselves a game. The Bills secondary is beat up, check the injury reports. On the flip side don't forget the Broncos defense kept the Chiefs out of the endzone last game, so Sean Payton could be pushing all the right buttons. Denver hasn't allowed 20+ pts in 3 straight. Allen will have to be at his best for the Bills in this one. Currently he has 18 TD passes (good), but he also has 9 INT's (bad). It all spells a Broncos cover on MNF. Buffalo are 0-5 ATS in their L5, and they're 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. AFC Teams. On the other side, Broncos are 9-1 ATS in their L10 after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-12-23 | Jets v. Raiders +1.5 | 12-16 | Win | 100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Raiders +1.5 Late add here. I hummed and hawed about this play all day. Tonight on NBC's Sunday night football we get the 4-4 (4-3-1 ATS, 2-1 AWAY) Jets taking on the 4-5 (4-5 ATS, 3-1 HOME) Raiders. The Raiders are looking for their fourth win in their L6 games after a 30-6 takedown of the Giants in Week 9. On the other side the Jets lost 27-6 to the LA Chargers, in a game they were never in. I expect a heavy dose of Josh Jacobs and Adams here in this one. The Raiders know while the Jets have a great defense their runD is their weaker link, so lots of ball control tonight. You can't convince me that the Jets are the better team here, defensively maybe, but I think at home the Raiders just bring too much to the table. Pierce says he's going to run Jacobs a TON tonight, and I don't have any reason to argue. I can remember the Raiders/Seahawks game last year where Jacobs took over. I foresee that kind of night for him tonight. On defense the Raiders are playing aggressive, and I'm buying what they're selling led by Max Crosby. The Jets don't have the weapons to keep up here, and the Raiders should be the favorite tonight. Back Vegas tonight on SNF. The Jets are 4-10 SU in their L14, and are 2-6 SU in their L8 on the road. On the other side, dating back to last year, Las Vegas are 4-2 SU in their L6 played in November. Sunday Night 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-12-23 | Giants v. Cowboys -16.5 | 17-49 | Win | 100 | 40 h 35 m | Show | |
Cowboys -16.5 The Giants (2-7, 1-4 AWAY) and the Dallas Cowboys (5-3, 3-0 HOME) meet on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington at 4:25pm. Watch this one on FOX. In Week 9 we saw BigD lose to the Eagles 28-23, a game they really couldn't afford to lose if they want to stay in the NFC East conversation. On the other side the Giants were once again blown out. This time by the cigar smoking Las Vegas Raiders who are suddenly relevant again. The score was 30-6. To add insult to injury the Giants lost their starting QB Daniel Jones to a season ending leg injury. A quick google search to find out how many times we've seen teams cover a 16pt spread in an NFL games tells me 6x since 2019. That's 67%. I like my chances just based off of that. I'm a Cowboys DST fantasy football owner and I'm absolutely salivating this week at the thought of this defense going up against Danny DeVito...err, I mean Tommy Devito. Dallas has won 9 of the L10 vs. NYG, and have already played them 1x this year. Week 1, and the final score was 40-0. They covered the 3. The Giants have lost 6 of their L7, and have only scored 8 TD's in 9 games this year. This is a big number, sure, but worth backing here. Offensively Prescott is also in a good stride right now. He's been putting up big numbers and moving the ball with ease. The Giants defense ranks near the bottom in a lot of defensive categories and are going to have their hands full here. This game could get out of hand if Dallas keeps their foot on the gas, which I anticipate they will. Dallas has the 3rd best scoring offense 27.5 PPG, and 6th best scoring defense (18.5 PPG). I'm expecting offense in this one by Dallas, and lots of it. The Giants are 2-7-1 ATS in their L10, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. Dallas. On the other side Dallas are 12-6 SU in their L18, and are 11-0 SU in their L11 at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

Series history has the Packers leading 20-16. Their last meeting was Oct 3, 2021, a Steelers 27-17 win in Green Bay. Last week Packers 20-3 over the Rams. Steelers 20-16 over Tennessee. This is too many points, in this spot. The Steelers have been on the fortunate end many times so far despite being outgained and honestly outplayed most of the time. Still, they're finding ways to win and they come in in the midst of a AFC North battle. However, the value sits with Green Bay here in this one. The Packers come in with momentum (Love 76.9% on 20/26 passing) after dominating the Rams from start to finish last week. This has been a season so far of ups and downs for the Packers, but they have shown signs of life throughout on the offensive side. Jordan Love has the ability to make a big play and he will be the difference maker here. Look for him to make timely plays and sustain drives for Green Bay, keeping this Steelers offense off the field. I simply trust the Packers more here. AND, I trust their defense too. Packers RUN-D of late have held opponents to only 2.3 YPC (57 rush. 130yds) in their L2 games. (Zero TD's too) Najee will be in tough. Both teams are battling injuries, but I think it hits the Steelers more on Sunday. The Steelers are that team that could totally do to the Packers this week, what the Packers did to the Rams last week, but with Cody Pickett leading the attack I just can't get on board. They've been outgained on total yards in EVERY game this season. Some trends, Green Bay are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Steelers. Steelers 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. NFC North teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-12-23 | Browns v. Ravens OVER 38 | 33-31 | Win | 100 | 41 h 51 m | Show | |
OVER 38 (5-3, 4-3-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens (7-2, 6-3 ATS, 3-1 HOME) will get it on in a Week 10 game Sunday. Kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium will be at 1pm ET. This is obviously a huge AFC North contest. Last week the Browns took care of a pathetic Cardinals team, and I'm inclined to not even talk about it here. They won't shut out Baltimore! The Browns and Ravens have faced off 49 times thru the years, with the Browns emerging victorious in 13 while the Ravens have won 36. This rivalry goes back to 1999. These two have already met 1x this season. The Ravens won that won 28-3 win. (10/1/23). It's obviously why we have such a low total this week. BIG Sidenote, there was no Watson at QB for the Browns in game 1. IMO this total is low, but this is the kind of game Jackson and Watson come out firing away. I'm expecting offense in this one. In big time games, big time players make moments. This is going to be a contest where both QBs want to come out and make it known that they're the best in the division. The Raven offense throttled the Browns defense already once this season and we've seen some issues with Baltimore's defense against mobile QBs. Watson is going to utilize his legs more, but he also is back to 100% too. Look for him to make some huge throws downfield. Both offenses have the capabilities of scoring. Look for a back and forth game in one that should be in the high 40s. In last Sunday's 37-3 rout of the Seahawks, Baltimore put up 515 total yards of offense, with 298 of those coming on the ground. Tony Romo was the color man for CBS in that one and he repeatedly said Baltimore is a Super Bowl team. I have to agree. Their offense is ROLLING right now. Now to get over 38, we just need Cleveland to keep up. Ravens 6th in the NFL in scoring at 26 PPG. Browns 14th at 22 PPG. This one won't be a blowout again, and with some CLE starters injured on defense we could see a big number from the Ravens. (Did I just tip a side bet?) Some trends I like, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 games on the road. 4-0 in their L4. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play |

11-12-23 | Titans +1.5 v. Bucs | 6-20 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 38 m | Show | |
Titans +1.5 (3-5) Tennessee Titans take on the (3-5) Tampa Bay Bucs in a Week 10 game Sunday. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa is at 1pm ET. Last week the Titans lost 20-16 to the Steelers in a game they had every chance to win, failing to cover as 3pt dogs. On the other side the Bucs and they're totally outcoached coaching staff with Todd Bowles lost their 4th straight 39-37 to the suddenly OK 4-4 Houston Texans. They did cover as 2.5pt dogs at least. The Titans love playing the Bucs. Over the years they've met 12x, and the Titans have won 10. The last time they met was a 27-23 Titans win on 10/27/19 in Tennessee. In 2015 the Titans won 42-14 in Tampa. They're looking for the hat-trick Sunday. we're playing the visitors here.Tampa Bay has been a rollercoaster of emotions this year. They sometimes look like they could be one of the best in the division, while other times they look lost. After Baker Mayfield made play after play last week, his defense completely let him down in a loss to Houston. The Bucs defense is just too hard to trust in this spot. They have been one of the worst in the league and they struggle slowing just about any team down. The secondary is soft, while they have been gashed by the run game too. The Titans are a balanced attack that can wear teams out. Look for them to just that here and force Tampa Bay into a hole early. The Titans are 4-1 ATS in their L5 against Tampa, are 8-1 SU in their L9 against TB, also they're 4-2 ATS in their L6 games against an opponent in the NFC. On the opposite side this week TB are 1-5 SU in their L6, and they haven't had much luck against AFC teams of late going 0-7 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-11-23 | USC v. Oregon OVER 74 | 27-36 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 14 m | Show | |
OVER 74 Every preseason prognosticator said this could be one of the games of the year in the College Football season. I'm hoping that that is still true. What a nice Pac 12 matchup we get Saturday between the USC Trojans (7-3, 2-8 ATS) and who some say are playing like they're the BEST team in the country currently, the Oregon Ducks (8-1, 7-1-1 ATS). In their last game Oregon easily got past CAL 63-19, and on the flip side USC were dismantled by the UW Huskies 52-42 in a battle of Heisman Trophy quarterback candidates Michael Penix Jr., and Caleb Williams. Looking for fireworks? Look no further than this game right here. Williams was seen in tears following the loss to Washington last week, where he put up 42 points in a 52-42 loss. He has rarely been the issue this season as this USC offense has rolled. They move quickly and take plenty of chances deep over the top. USC has hit the over in 17 of the last 18 games as well, adding to the value. Bo Nix is going to go toe to toe with Williams. This Ducks offense sits right up there in every category with the likes of USC and they are going to move the ball with ease. Look for both defenses to have plenty of issues slowing the opposing offense down in a game with a lot of points both ways. The total has gone OVER in 7 of USC's L7 games, and in 5 of their L5 games on the road, and in 4 of USC's L6 games at Autzen. On the other side, the Over has hit in 6 of Oregon's L8 games vs. USC. Scoring, expect LOTS of scoring! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAF O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Florida v. LSU OVER 64 | 35-52 | Win | 100 | 52 h 9 m | Show | |
Over 64 LSU (6-3, 5-4 ATS) takes on Florida (5-4, 3-6 ATS) on Saturday in one of our favorite matchups during the College Football betting season. Last week's matchups saw the Tigers get taken down by Alabama 42-28. On the other side the Gators fell to Arkansas 39-36. Florida and LSU always give us a fun matchup when they meet. This one should feature a lot of huge plays and a lot of trick plays even. The Tigers have seen the Over hit in all 9 of their games this season. Dating back to last year too, they have hit in 13 straight and 15 of their last 16. The offense runs at a quick pace and throws the ball all over down field. They have to because of how bad this defense is. They rank near the bottom in a lot of defensive categories, as they've been torched at times. Florida has also been up for the challenge. They have hit the over in 5 straight and have given up 41, 43, and 39 points in their previous 3 games. The last 4 games between the two have reached 70 points. We've seen the total go OVER in all of the Gators L5 games, and the OVER has hit in 5 of the L6 Florida matchups vs. SEC teams. LSU has seen the OVER hit in ALL of their L10 matchups, and in 5 of their L5 games vs. Florida. The total has also gone over in ALL of LSU's L7 games at home. I'm on the OVER in this SEC matchup. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* NCAAF O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Ole Miss v. Georgia OVER 58 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 52 h 13 m | Show | |
OVER 58 Saturday brings another exciting matchup, and a win is essential for the Bulldogs (9-0, 6-0 SEC) in their quest for a third straight national championship. #2 Georgia can secure the SEC East division title by taking on #9 Ole Miss in Athens, Ga. Last week, Georgia secured a 30-21 victory over Missouri, while Ole Miss narrowly escaped with a 38-35 win against Texas A&M. We're playing this Over as Georgia and Ole Miss battle in prime time. This game should produce a lot of scoring. Ole Miss has struggled defensively at times, which includes allowing 35 points last week against the Aggies. Luckily for them, their offense is a high flying attack that can score a lot. Georgia should pick this defense apart for starters and produce a lot of big plays down field. On the other hand, the Bulldogs defense just hasn't been what they are this season. They've struggled against sub par teams even and they're going to have their hands full with Ole Miss. Look for a back and forth game here, where Ole Miss knows they'll have to keep up with this Bulldogs offense. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Georgia's L6, and in 4 of UG's L5 against SEC teams. I'm on the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAF O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Utah v. Washington OVER 49.5 | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 49 h 32 m | Show | |
OVER 49.5 Saturday in Seattle, WA we get another NICE Pac 12 matchup between the Utah Utes (7-2, 5-3-1 ATS) and the #5 Washington Huskies (9-0, 4-4-1 ATS). H2H Washington is 7-2 in these two teams' L9. We're playing this Over here. Washington comes in off a 52 point performance in prime time as they took it to the Trojans defense. That bodes well for us here as this total is a bit lower because of how Utah plays. However, don't overlook Utah on offense by any means. They put up 55 last week and have the ability to strike. They should find success against the Washington secondary, that struggled mightily with USC last week. This has the makings of a game where we should see both teams take chances down field and there should be a lot of attacking both ways. The OVER has hit in 4 of the L6 UW games, and we've seen the OVER in 13 of the L20 UW games playing as a favorite on the spread. Plus the OVER has hit in 3 of Washington's L5 at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF O/U Play |

11-11-23 | Arizona v. Colorado +10 | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 47 h 34 m | Show | |
Colorado +10 Saturday at 2pm ET it's a Pac 12 matchup between the Arizona Wildcats (6-3, 8-1 ATS) travelling to Folsom Field in Boulder, CO to take on Prime's Colorado Buffaloes (4-5, 5-3-1 ATS). Last week the Buffs lost 26-19 to the Oregon State Beavers. While Arizona took down the UCLA Bruins 27-10. (Fifita was 25/32 (78%) and we had ARIZONA last week! This week though, we're on the other side. Colorado is the move here. After taking the College football world by storm earlier this season, things have completely tapered off. This is their chance to get things rolling again against a good team. The Buffs have still managed to cover inside Pac-12 play as UCLA and Oregon State were both wins ATS. This is a bit of a let down spot for Arizona too. They beat up on UCLA last week as we backed them at home ATS. This is going to be a game where they will struggle defensively against a Colorado offense that should open up their playbook more. Look for a quick paced game with a very inspired performance from this Colorado team. Colorado are 3-2 in their L5, and 2-2 ATS in their L4. 52% of the public money is coming in on Arizona in this one. Back Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAF ATS Play |

11-11-23 | Michigan v. Penn State +5.5 | 24-15 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 4 m | Show | |
Penn State +5.5 On Saturday it's a nice BIG 10 clash between the Michigan Wolverines (9-0, 4-4-1 ATS) and the Penn State Nittany Lions (8-1, 7-2 ATS). Penn State has value here, at home. Michigan is in the midst of just so much drama. With all the sign stealing allegations, Michigan has no idea what to expect when it comes to what is going to happen. There could be fines, suspensions, and there is just a lot of distractions. Combine that with going into Penn State's ability to control the tempo of this game and they're going to have Michigan frustrated throughout. They'll feed off their home crowd's energy here and have the potential to shake things up in the standings. Penn State are 13-2-1 ATS in their L16, are 13-1 SU in their L14, plus they're 7-0 SU in their L7 at home, and finally they're 9-1 SU in their L10 games against an opponent in the Big 10.

11-11-23 | Virginia Tech v. Boston College UNDER 49.5 | 48-22 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 51 m | Show | |
UNDER 49.5 The Virginia Tech Hokies (4-5, 5-4 ATS) take on the BC Eagles (6-3, 4-5 ATS) Saturday in ACC football action. This one will take place at Alumni Stadium. Hokies lost last game out 34-3 to Louisville. BC grabbed themselves a 17-10 win over Syracuse. This is going to be a very slowly played game both ways in this one. Boston College is leaning on their defense for starters. The Eagles come in winners of 5 straight, while having performances off just 10,14,23,24, and 24 points against in those 5 wins. Their defense is getting stops and forcing turnovers, which has been the difference. The Eagles are going to force this Hokies side into some long third down situations and not allow anything deep. On top of that, the Hokies and Eagles are both going to establish the run games. Expect a slow game on Saturday afternoon. Virginia Tech are 4-1 ATS in their last 5, and are 10-5 SU in their L15 against BC. On the other side BC are 1-4 ATS in their L5 at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAF O/U Play |

11-10-23 | Wyoming v. UNLV -4.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
UNLV -4.5 Gear up for Friday Night Lights, college football style! A thrilling Mountain West conference matchup awaits us. The Wyoming Cowboys (6-3, 5-3-1 ATS) are going up against UNLV (7-2, 8-1 ATS...yes, 8-1 ATS) at 10:45 pm ET, broadcasting live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. Last week, Wyoming secured a 24-15 win over the CSU Rams, while UNLV dominated New Mexico with a commanding 56-14 victory. We're on UNLV here on Friday night. This is a spot where UNLV is being very undervalued. They are a solid 8-1 ATS this season and come in with 7 wins. They are a perfect 4-0 at home, while the Cowboys come in 0-3 away from home. UNLV has looked good overall this season and at home they've been dominant. Offensively, they have a huge edge. They have posted 40+ points in 6 games this season and they've done it with a quick attack. They can strike at any moment and they're going to push the tempo on this Wyoming defense. They're putting up 424 yards per game at home and this is a nice spot for them. Let's talk stats: Wyoming has struggled, going 1-6 ATS when taking on teams from the MWC West division. In contrast, UNLV is red hot, winning 6 of their last 7 games and remaining undefeated in their last 5 home games. They also hold a strong 5-1 record in their recent clashes with MWC teams.

11-09-23 | Panthers +3.5 v. Bears | 13-16 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Panthers +3.5 I backed the Panthers two weeks ago vs. Houston and I'm going back to the well with them on Thursday night in a matchup I feel 8* confident about. We're grabbing 3.5 points in a game I could see Carolina winning outright. The Panthers (1-7) and Bears (2-7) are set to clash in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football at Soldier Field with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff (Prime Video). When it comes to ATS stats, the Panthers stand at 1-6-1, while the Bears are at 3-5-1. Unfortunately, last week the Panthers couldn't ride the wave of their first win and stumbled at home, suffering a 27-13 loss to the Colts. The game took a turn for the worse as Young threw two Pick-6s, rookie errors that cost them dearly. On the other hand, the Bears faced a 24-17 L at the hands of the Saints. Justin Fields isn't cleared to play on Thursday so it will be Tyson Bagent starting again for the Bears. While Bagent may have a slight edge over Fields (arguably), his average pass completion of 6.3 yards suggests he's not tasked with much. The major concern revolves around his turnovers, with 8 (six interceptions and two lost fumbles) occurring in a mere 14 quarters of play. I also highly doubt Coach Matt Eberflus of the Bears can craft a winning strategy this week, with a record of 5-21 in Chicago and only 1-9 in close games. Frank Reich has the upper hand. In recent head-to-head matchups, the Bears have had the upper hand, winning five out of the last six encounters. The most recent meeting in 2020 saw the Bears emerge victorious with a 23-16 win in Charlotte, and their last face-off at Soldier Field in 2017 resulted in a 17-3 Bears win. Weather will be in the low 50's, no precip, and winds around 10mph. Taking a look at some key trends for this matchup, Chicago has had a tough time lately. They have a 4-12-1 ATS record in their last 17 games and a dismal 2-17 SU record in their last 19 outings. Moreover, when playing at home, they've only managed to win 1 out of their last 11 games. Back the Panthers ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NFL ATS Play |

Louisville -20 Thursday night it's Virginia (2-7, 6-3 ATS) taking on Louisville (8-1, 5-3-1 ATS). We’re on Louisville, laying the number at home.This team has quietly been a force at times this year and at home they’re absolutely dominate. They come into Thursday 5-0 at home this season and they actually haven’t lost on this field since September of 2022. The Cardinals offense is going to overpower this Cavaliers defense in every which way.The Cards put up 34 on Va Tech last week as they run a balanced attack that has opposing defenses guessing a lot. Look for Louisville to put the pressure on early and keep their foot on the gas. They’re at their best when they play with tempo too, which will have Virginia all over the place. In my NCAA Football betting analysis, I've noticed some important trends. Virginia has struggled lately, winning just 2 out of their last 12 games and losing 16 out of 20 on the road. On the flip side, Louisville has been strong, going 4-1-1 against the spread in their last 6 games and winning 9 out of their last 10 overall. Additionally, they've been solid at home, covering the spread in their last 10 home games. The Cards haven't lost at home since Sept 16, 2022. LVille has their eyes set on the ACC championship game, and they have to get past UVA to keep that dream alive. There's motivation in spades on Thursday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-08-23 | Bowling Green v. Kent State UNDER 40.5 | 49-19 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
UNDER 40.5 MACTION time again tonight. BG comes into this one 5-4 SU (5-4 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) in 2023, on the other side Kent St. are 1-8 and (2-6-1 ATS, 1-2 HOME). Head to head these two are 5-5 SU in their L10. They're also both 5-5 ATS vs. each other in the L10. BG took down Ball State last week 24-21. While Kent State got taken down by Akron 31-27. Weather tonight will be in the low 50's, light winds, and no rain. MAC weather. The last two times these teams have played we've seen the UNDER hit. Now, granted the UNDER was in the 50's both times, but, that was a different Kent State team than this year's dumpster fire. Kent State is going to come into this game with ZERO confidence. They’re ranked 2nd to last in the entire FBS and blew a 17 point lead to Akron last week. Offensively, they have no spark. They’re far too conservative and that also comes from their inability to make big plays. Bowling Green is similar on the offensive side. They do not move the ball nor do they have the capacity to sustain drives. This is going to be the kind of game where both teams ground and pound. Look for a lot of clock chewing and very minimal scoring chances. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Falcons L6 games on the road, plus the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L9 for BG vs. MAC teams. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Kent State's L9 against Bowling Green. Back the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 6* CFB O/U Play |

Ohio -7 (6-3, 4-5 ATS, 2-2 AWAY) Ohio take on the (3-6, 5-4 ATS, 1-3 HOME) Buffalo tonight. This one kicks off at 7:30pm ET, from UB Stadium in Buffalo, NY. You can watch this one on ESPN2. Ohio is a 7pt favorite in this one, and the O/U total line is set at 44. If you're a moneyline (straight-up bettor) you'll see the dogs (Buffalo) at +224 ML odds, and Ohio is -250. We all need more MACtion! Back the road team tonight. Ohio -7. This play is of the 7* variety. Both teams come into this one off of losses. OHIO took the L against Miami of Ohio 30-16 at home. On the other side Buffalo was taken apart by Toledo 31-13. Tonight's weather will be in the 40's at kickoff, no rain, 10mph winds. The last time these two matched up was 1/11/22 a 45-24 Ohio win. Even though he's Canadian...Kurtis Rourke is going to be the difference maker here. The OU QB has thrown for 1656 yards this year and 10 touchdowns thus far. He's the kind of playmaker who can strike quickly and isn't afraid to put his head down and take off running. He is such a threat with both his arm and legs and he should pick apart this Buffalo defense that has been very suspect this season. The Bulls have struggled with mobile QBs and they're going to have a huge mismatch. Cole Snyder isn't as big of a playmaker as Rourke and we'll see that here on Tuesday night. Did I mention Ohio is 7th in the NATION on defense allowing only 15.6PPG too? Ok...I just did. Buffalo is 99th... 29PPG. Ohio is also first in scoring defense in the MAC, and Ohio has more INT's than passing TD's allowed. Some trends to note, Ohio has taken 4 of the L7 in this series. Ohio are 14-4 SU in their L18 games, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 against Buffalo. Plus they're 4-2 SU in their L6 games against Buffalo, and are 10-3 SU in their L13 games vs. MAC teams. On the other side Buffalo are 3-6 SU in their L9, 0-4 in their L4 as a favorite, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 at home. Tonight, once again, I'm on the team with the better QB. I'm putting my faith in Rourke to get the job done tonight. Back the Bobcats ATS in Tuesday's MACtion. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CFB ATS Play |

NIU -9.5 Northern Illinois (4-5, 4-4-1 ATS) faces a familiar opponent as they take on Ball State (2-7, 4-5 ATS) on Tuesday at Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, IL, in a MAC showdown. You can catch the action on the CBS Sports Network. The latest betting odds show Northern Illinois as the favorite with a -10 spread. For those looking at the moneyline, Northern Illinois is at -372, while Ball State is at +287 for straight up bets. The over/under total line is set at 43 points. In their previous game, the Huskies battled Central Michigan and suffered a 37-31 loss, while the Cardinals fell short, losing 24-21 to the Bowling Green Falcons. Looking at their historical matchups, the Huskies hold a 25-23-2 record in the all-time series but have dropped three of the last 4. I'm on NIU -9.5 on Tuesday night. NIU can smell a bowl game. They need this game much more than Ball State does. Sit back, relax and enjoy the MACtion folks! NIU had rattled off 3 straight wins before seeing their comeback fall just short against the Chips last week. They dug themselves too big of a hole and were unable to finish a frantic comeback late. This team will turn back to their defense, who will rebound here. During their 3 game winning streak, they allowed performances of 14,13, and 13 in those wins. Ball State's offense has been an absolute struggle all season. They've been far too inconsistent to score here and they are going to struggle mightily with this pressure NIU brings. Look for the Huskies to rear back and blitz all night long, forcing sacks and some bad decisions from this Ball State passing game. Some trends to note, NIU are 6-1 SU in their L7 when playing at home against Ball St. On the other side, Ball State are 1-5 SU in their L6, are 2-9 ATS in their L11 vs. NIU, and are 3-11 SU in their L14 vs. NIU. Lastly, they're 0-7 in their L7 on the road. Back the Huskies on Tuesday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play |

Chargers -3 Jets (4-3, 2-2 HOME, 4-2-1 ATS) vs. Chargers (3-4, 1-2 AWAY, 2-4-1 ATS) ATS: Jets +3, Chargers -3, O/U: 41, ML: Jets +140, Chargers -155 Last Meeting: Jets 28 Chargers 34 (11/22/20) Jets L10 - 4-6 SU, Chargers L10 5-5 SU Monday night football wraps up the week for us, and we're hoping it's been a successful weekend for you! Backing the road team here on Monday. The Chargers are entering a favorable part of their schedule, which this is the time for them to turn things up. They will see a Jets team that has been very inconsistent and is dealing with a few key injuries to their offensive line. That bodes well for us as the Jets lean on their run game to be successful. The Chargers should be able to pick apart this offensive line and get a lot of havoc in the backfield. Combine that with Justin Herbert playing better as of late and there is a lot of value on this side. Herbert has been battling a broken thumb on his non throwing hand. He's now played a few weeks with it and has the experience with it. He will have a field day with this Jets secondary and will have a lot of big plays over the top. Some trends to note, Chargers are 4-0 ATS as a road favorite of 3-10, and the Chargers are 4-1 SU in their L5 games against the Jets, and they're 4-1 SU in their L5 games when playing on the road against the Jets. The Jets are 4-9 SU in their L13 games, and are 3-8 SU in their L11 games played in November. While the Jets may have won 13-10 over the Giants are they a team that will be able to trade punches with the Chargers on MNF? (Let me answer that rhetorical ? for you) No chance in hell. The Bolts catch another break on their schedule here to get right. Last week it was a 30-13 blowout of da Bears, now they get a team that's not much better in the Jets. Expect another 300 yard game from Herbert (who says his thumb is getting better each week), plus 2-3 TD's. Ekeler will get his as well (something to the tune of 110 yards rushing and 8-9 receptions for 70-80 yards. This one could be ugly folks. Chargers -3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-05-23 | Bills v. Bengals OVER 48.5 | 18-24 | Loss | -110 | 129 h 15 m | Show | |
OVER 48.5 Bills (5-3, 1-2 AWAY, 3-5 ATS) vs. Bengals (4-3, 2-1 HOME, 3-3-1 ATS) ATS: Bills +3, Bengals -3, O/U: 48.5, ML: Bills +135, Bengals -150 Last Meeting: Bengals 27 Bills 10 (1/22/23) Bills L10 - 3-7 SU, Bengals L10 5-5 SU I see a shootout coming. The value is on the OVER on SNF. This game should see a lot of scoring chances both ways. The Bengals are starting to figure things out after a slow start. With the AFC North race wide open, Cincinnati has got themselves back into the picture thanks to Joe Burrow. He is finally healthy and doing things that made him so successful last season. This offense is rolling and producing finally, which will be huge going against this high flying Buffalo attack. The Bills had little issues moving the ball against the Bucs as they continue to get their momentum back a well. This a game where we get both Allen and Burrow playing at a top level finally this season. Look for a back and forth affair all night long, with both teams taking plenty of shots down field which helps out this Over. Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 8 of Buffalo's L11 games when playing on the road against Cincinnati. Plus, the over is 9-0 in Bills L9 games as an underdog, 7-0 in Bills L7 games as a road underdog, and finally the Over is 7-0 in Bills L7 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0. The Hamlin Bowl! These two teams will be playing with a ton of passion and emotion in this one. I expect to see both offenses flying high after nice wins and getting back on track last week. Whoever has the ball last wins. Expect a score in the high 50's. OVER 48.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play |

11-05-23 | Colts v. Panthers +3 | 27-13 | Loss | -115 | 125 h 23 m | Show | |
Panthers +3 Colts (3-5, 2-1 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) vs. Panthers (1-6, 1-2 HOME, 1-5-1 ATS) ATS: Colts -3, Panthers +3, O/U: 44.5, ML: Colts -150, Panthers +135 Last Meeting: Colts 38 Panthers 6 (12/22/19) Indy L10 - 4-6 SU, Panthers L10 3-7 SU I see the Panthers as the stronger team on Sunday. Carolina should be able to match up well with this Colts side on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis has been absolutely torched on the defensive end. Looking back at their last 3 games, they have allowed, 37 points to the Jags, 39 to the Browns, and then 38 last week against the Saints. They haven't slowed anyone down with the run or the pass. Carolina should have a field day with this defense. The Colts constantly give up the big play and their inability to get off the field on third down is costly. Carolina should control this one from the outset with their tempo and really have the Colts on their heels. Indianapolis has just been digging too big of holes they simply cannot get out of. Some trends to note, the Colts are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite, are 3-12 SU in their last 15 games, and are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Carolina. Carolina are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games against an opponent in the AFC South, and lastly, they're 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog. I had the Panthers ATS last week, and I'm going back to the well this week. Panthers +3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

11-05-23 | Seahawks v. Ravens UNDER 43 | 3-37 | Win | 100 | 141 h 54 m | Show | |
UNDER 43 A heckuva nice matchup awaits us on Sunday when the Seahawks (5-2, 3-3-1 ATS, 2-1 on the road) vs. Ravens (6-2, 5-3 ATS, 2-1 at home) on Nov. 5 from M&T Bank Stadium at 1pm ET. NFL Opening odds have the Ravens as -4.5pt favorites ATS, and the O/U line has been set at 43. ML straight up bettors will see the Seahawks +205, and the Ravens are at -245. I had the Seahawks/Browns UNDER (LOSS) on Sunday Week 7 as a free play, and I'm going to revisit a Seahawks team again on the O/U this time on the road. Adding Leonard Williams NT from the Giants in a trade on Monday is going to be the missing ingredient this Seahawks D needs to be elite. This defense is going to step up here after that struggle last week. While they did make a few big plays, it was still a struggle at times against Cleveland. This Seattle defense rarely has bad back to back games, so a bounce back here should be coming. Baltimore also has been flocking on the defensive side. They are tough to crack and rarely allow the big play. This is going to be a game where neither team has the ability to play the deep ball. Look for a lot of runs, chewing of the clock, and for points to be at a premium. Seahawks 1st in Scoring Def. (12.5 PPG), YPP allowed (4.1), & Sacks Per Game (5.3), and the Ravens 1st In PTS Allowed (15.1 PPG), 2nd Total Defense (276.5 YPG), 3rd in Pass D (176.6). Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 8 of Seattle's L12 games. The total has gone UNDER in 12 of the Ravens L18 games, and has gone UNDER in 9 of Baltimore's L10 games at home, and the Under is 5-0 in Ravens L5 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.0. Lastly, the UNDER is 8-1in the Ravens L9 games as a home fav. Back the UNDER 43. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL O/U Play |

11-05-23 | Rams v. Packers -2.5 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 141 h 38 m | Show | |
Packers -3 A nice matchup on Sunday when the Rams (3-5, 3-4 ATS, 2-2 on the road) take on the Packers (2-5, 3-4 ATS, 1-2 at home) on Nov. 5 from Lambeau Field at 1pm ET. NFL Opening odds have the Packers as +1.5pt point dogs ATS, and the O/U line has been set at 42.5. ML straight up bettors will see the Rams +145, and the Packers are at -160. I had the Cowboys -6 over the Rams on Sunday and I'm going back to the well this weekend with the Packers at home behind their rabid fan base. I'm not sure at this point of the week if Stafford will play (He's questionable as of Monday), if he does I think he'll be in quite a bit of pain. It's a 1pm ET game as well, which is always difficult for the west-coast teams. The weather will also likely be a factor this week for a nice indoor/climate controlled team playing in the elements of Wisconsin. I get it if you don't trust the Packers, but I do this week. Their defense plays well at home. Green Bay will lean on that defense here to force the Rams into some uncomfortable and long third down spots. The key for them will be to put together a lot of different blitz packages. The Packers are at their best on the defensive end when they can get into the backfield and cause a lot of havoc. That should be the case in this one as they can produce some long yardage situations and get off the field. Look for them to even force a few turnovers here. The Rams have been turning the ball over a lot more and they just don't look as sharp as they have in the past. Stafford is reeling right now and his offensive line is letting him down. Given their struggles, they haven't covered the number much either. Some trends to note, the Rams are 1-6-1 ATS in their L8 games in November, are 5-14 SU in their L19 games, are 0-9 ATS in their L9 games against the Packers, and are 0-5 ATS in their L5 games when playing on the road against Green Bay. On the other side the Packers are 7-1 in their L8 vs. NFC West teams. Back the Packers -3 on Sunday when the Rams travel to Lambeau. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

11-05-23 | Cardinals v. Browns OVER 37.5 | 0-27 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 41 m | Show | |
OVER 37.5 Cardinals (1-7, 0-4 AWAY, 4-3-1 ATS) vs. Browns (4-3, 3-1 HOME, 4-3 ATS) ATS: Cardinals +7.5, Browns -7.5, O/U: 37.5, ML: Cardinals +305, Browns -320 Last Meeting: Cardinals 37 Browns 14 (10/17/21) Cardinals L10 - 5-5 SU, Browns L10 5-5 SU I'm all over the Browns to put up a ton of points on Sunday. Arizona can score too, so I'm expecting 40+ points in this one. Likely 45+. We get the return of Deshaun Watson here, which should boost this game to seeing some points. Watson has been battling a shoulder injury, but we've seen videos all week long from practice of him slinging the ball all over the place. That bodes well for us as Cleveland should pick apart one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Arizona will start Tune here, which should also prove to be a better decision for them. The Cardinals have struggled mightily this year, but a fresh arm is going to give them a boost. Cleveland's defense has struggled the last couple of weeks and the Cardinals should open things up a bit playbook wise. Look for both teams to move the ball here, but Cleveland will be the difference here on this total. They will set the tone off this game and force Arizona to open things up themselves. Some trends to note, the Over is 5-0 in Cardinals L5 games on grass, plus the total has gone OVER in 5 of Arizona's L7 games, and the total has gone OVER in 5 of Arizona's L6 games against an opponent in the AFC North. On the other side the total has gone OVER in 5 of the Browns' L7 games against Arizona. The Cards put up 24 in Week 8, the Browns hung 20 on Seattle. Being a Seahawks fan I watched this Browns team very closely on Sunday. They're great on defense (we know this) but they're actually really good on offense too. They just need to clean up the play calling to get it dialed in here. The Browns should have won on Sunday vs. Seattle but an errant pass hit Jamal Adams in the head, otherwise I think they get it done. The Cardinals are a big step down from the Seahawks. Offenses will roll on Sunday. 27-13, 24-21, 26-14 kind of game. OVER 37.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 6* NFL O/U Play |

11-04-23 | UCLA v. Arizona +2.5 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 83 h 31 m | Show | |
Arizona +2.5 On Saturday we get another nice Pac 12 matchup to feast on. The UCLA Bruins (6-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 2-2 AWAY) take on the Arizona Wildcats (5-3 SU, 7-1 ATS, 3-1 HOME). This one kicks off from Arizona Stadium at 10:30pm ET. The betting odds favor the Bruins -2.5 as road favorites, while we're seeing Zona at +2.5. On the ML (for straight up bettors) we're seeing UCLA -135, and AZ at +120. The total opened at 59, and we're now seeing it at 51.5 (O/U). Bettors are hammering the UNDER. Arizona comes into this one averaging 31.2PPG (46th in the nation), while UCLA comes in averaging 30.8PPG. (48th). UCLA owns the matchup advantage 7-3 in their L10. UCLA are 4-6 in their L10, and Arizona are 7-3 SU in their L10. These two last played on 11/12/22 a 34-28 Arizona win in Pasadena. This is another game where UCLA is going to have a let down. They've lost their two games this year on the road as Utah and Oregon State both exposed a lot of flaws on them. Arizona can take a page out of their playbooks coming into play. UCLA struggled offensively in those games as they couldn't figure out the various schemes and were forced into some tough windows to pass in. Arizona is at their best defensively when they bring pressure. That is going to be the case here as they will bring more than 4 a lot, pushing back this UCLA front. Another tough matchup to see go away in the Pac 12. A late night BAIL out play for Saturday evening. We hope we don't need a BAIL out of course, so hopefully this is just a cherry on top of another winning day. Really impressed with Pac 12 frosh of the week AZ QB Noah Fifita. (Sunday's could be in his future) He's 111/149 for 1152YDS with 11TD's and 3 INT's in his first 4 starts. Completing over 70% of his passes. UCLA presents a defensive test, but I think Fifita passes it. Some trends to note, UCLA are 4-8 ATS in their L12, and are 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. teams from the Pac 12. The Cats come into this one 7-1 in their L8 ATS and 6-3 SU in their L9. Plus they're 4-1 in their L5 vs. Pac 12 teams. Lastly, the Cats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog of 0.5-3.0. I'm backing the Cats on Saturday vs. UCLA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play |

11-04-23 | Washington -3 v. USC | 52-42 | Win | 100 | 80 h 8 m | Show | |
Washington -3 On Saturday we get my favorite Pac 12 matchup. Sadly, it's their last Pac 12 matchup. The Washington Huskies (8-0, 3-4-1 ATS, 3-0 AWAY) take on the USC Trojans (7-2, 2-7 ATS, 4-1 HOME) from the LA Memorial Coliseum at 7:30pm ET. The odds currently have Washington as a -174 ML favorite, USC is +140. ATS the Huskies are -3 to -3.5 pt favorites depending on your book. White the O/U betting total is set at 76 but opened at 78.5. The Huskies come into this one 9th in the nation scoring at 40.4PPG. The Trojans 1st at 45.9PPG. Defensively the Huskies allow 20.6PPG, and the Trojans allow 32.6PPG. The Huskies own the L5 matchup advantage 3-2. (The Huskies went 0-5 ATS in those L5). Over the L10 USC has the edge 6-4 SU. Michael Penix Jr is looking to continue his way toward the Heisman. He is the biggest piece to this game as he not only want to outshine his counterpart Caleb Williams, but he also wants to continue this Huskies march toward a potential BCS Playoff. We simply can trust the Huskies defense more. As we talked about earlier, they allow 12 less points than this USC defense. The Trojans have been torched by just about everyone and they've lucked out in the end in a few instances. Washington's defense is going to get creative here and force Caleb Williams into some uncomfortable situations. The last time these two matched up UW took USC down 28-14 in Seattle. I'm not sure I see a 14pt win on Saturday, but I see a 5+ point win. Some trends to note, UW are 10-0 SU in their L10, are 8-3 ATS in their L11 vs. SC, and are 6-0 SU in their L6 games on the road. Lastly, UW are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6 after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. On the other side, USC are 0-6 ATS in their L6, and are 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. Pac 12 teams. I'm all over the road team in this one. Give me the Dawgs -3 on Saturday in LA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play |

11-04-23 | Missouri v. Georgia -15 | 21-30 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 12 m | Show | |
Georgia -15 In Saturday's SEC matchup, #1 Georgia (8-0, 5-0 at home, 3-5 ATS) faces off against #14 Missouri (7-1, 5-2 ATS, 2-0 away) at Sanford Stadium in Athens, GA. The game starts at 3:30pm ET and will be broadcast on CBS. Here are the Week 10 College Football Odds: ATS Betting Lines: Georgia (-15.5), Moneyline odds Georgia (-739), Missouri (+508). The Over/Under Betting total is set at 55. Mizzou recently defeated South Carolina 34-12, while Georgia triumphed over Florida 43-20. Their previous encounter on 10/1/22 saw Georgia win 26-22 over Mizzou, staying under the 54.5 total. Mizzou holds an 8-2 SU record and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games, while Georgia is 10-0 SU and 4-6 ATS in their last 10. I'm on UG on Saturday -15. I see them as the play here. This game is a big one, and to put it simply, I have more faith in UG than Mizzou. UG knows Mizzou well, understands their strengths, and has a plan to counter them. Last year, Georgia had to come back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Missouri 26-22 and stay in the running for the national title. They won't underestimate Mizzou this time around. Combine that with the new playoff rankings coming out as well and Georgia isn't going to take this game lightly. The Bulldogs were ranked behind the Buckeyes in the current BCS Playoff rankings, which is certainly going to light a fire. The defense is going to be the difference here. Look fore them to force a lot of issues for this Mizzou front and or them to get into the backfield. They're going to force turnovers and long 3rd down situations, which should result in some short fields for the Bulldogs. Some trends to note, Missouri are 0-9 SU in their L9 against Georgia. On the other side Georgia are 10-0 SU in their L10, are 20-0 SU in their L20 at home, and finally they're 15-0 SU in their L15 vs. SEC teams. Back the Bulldogs ATS. Give the points. You won't need them. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play |

Notre Dame -3 What a great matchup we get on Saturday in college football betting action when the Fighting Irish (7-2, 2-1 on the road, 7-2 ATS) vs. Clemson (4-4, 3-1 at home, 2-6 ATS) on Nov. 4 from Memorial Stadium at 12pm ET. CFB Opening odds have the Irish as -2pt favorites ATS, and the O/U line has been set at 40.5. ML straight up bettors will see the the Irish -160, and the Tigers are at +140. Notre Dame's offense is going to be the difference. ND comes into this one after dismantling the PITT Panthers last week. They're rollin'. I'm of the opinion that they're defense is playing the best they've played all year. Plus they scored 23 points off of 5 Pitt turnovers in this one. They now have 10 takeaways in their L2 games. They've protected the ball and also been able to run a solid balanced attack, which is something they lacked in their losses to Louisville and Ohio State. They lean on Estimee to get things going and that opened up a lot of passing lanes for Hartman last week. Expect that strategy to stay the same. Off of back to back losses Clemson is reeling, and being back home for some home cooking may be what the Dr. ordered. These two clubs have met 6x with 4 coming since 2015. The Tigers have the edge 4-2. But after this week, and how well the Irish are playing of late I'm going to say the edge will be 4-3. This Irish had Clemson's number last season too, winning 35-14. Some trends to note, for starters the Irish are 11-1 ATS in their L12 vs. ACC teams, are 7-2-1 ATS in their L10 games, and are 8-2 ATS in their L10 games on the road. On the other side Clemson are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7 non-conference games. Lastly, they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games. Two teams going in opposite directions. Back the Irish on Saturday on the road vs. Clemson. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play |

UNDER 43 In Week 10, it's #3 Ohio State (8-0, 4-0 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) taking on Big 10 "rival" Rutgers (6-2, 5-0 HOME, 6-1-1 ATS) at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, kicking off at 12pm ET on CBS. Week 10 Odds: Ohio State is favored by 18.5 points (ATS), with Moneyline odds at Ohio State (-1227) and Rutgers (+748). The Over/Under betting total is set at 42.5 points up to 43. In their recent outings, Ohio State defeated the Badgers 24-10, while Rutgers took down Indiana 31-14. Ohio State averages 32.5 PPG and allows only 10 PPG, while Rutgers scores an average of 28 PPG and concedes 15.75 PPG. These teams clashed on 10/1/22, with Ohio State winning 49-10. Ohio State boasts an 8-2 SU record in their last 10 games, with a 5-5 ATS record. Rutgers stands at 6-4 SU and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games. Ohio State leads the all-time series 9-0, scoring 49 or more points in all 9 games. But, BUT, Rutgers defense this year is better than all of their D's in the other previous 9 games. They'll keep the score down this time. Ohio State appears to be the stronger team in this matchup. While not trying to sound overly confident, their solid defense and quarterback Kyle McCord's personal connection to Rutgers give them an edge. With these factors in mind, it's uncertain if Rutgers can muster more than 10 points in this game. I just trust OST and their defense more than I can trust Rutgers offense. One last personal connection here. the two coaches are friends, so I doubt there's any running up of the score here too if the game gets out of hand. (Gentleman's handshake! LOL) Some trends to note, the UNDER is 5-0 in Scarlet Knights last 5 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. The Under is 5-0 in OST's L5 games as a favorite. Plus, the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Ohio State's last 5 games. I'm backing the UNDER on Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* CFB O/U Play |

11-03-23 | Colorado State v. Wyoming UNDER 41.5 | 15-24 | Win | 100 | 32 h 28 m | Show | |
UNDER 41.5 On Friday, Colorado State (3-5, 1-3 MWC, 1-3 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) faces off against Wyoming (5-3, 2-2, 5-0 HOME, 4-3-1 ATS) at Jonah Field, War Memorial Stadium, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET and broadcasted on CBSSN. The latest odds indicate Moneyline (ML) values of Colorado State +220 and Wyoming -275, with Wyoming favored by 7 points (-110) against the spread. The Over/Under Total is set at 41.5. I like the UNDER here. AS we noted, last week the Rams scored 13 and the Cowboys 7. The offenses aren't exactly setting the world on fire are they? We're also going to have to watch the weather on Friday night. Strong winds are in the forecast. In their recent outings, Colorado State suffered a 30-13 loss to Air Force, while Wyoming stumbled with a 32-7 defeat against Boise State. Colorado State is 6-4 in their last 10 straight-up (SU) games, while Wyoming is 5-5 in theirs. In their previous encounter on 11/12/22, Wyoming narrowly won 14-13. This has the makings of the kind of game where the run game are going to dominate. With neither team being able to pass the ball because of the noted winds, which should come with a lot of chewing clock. We're going to see plenty of play clock chewing, with short yardage third down situations because of these run games. The edge sits with the inability to make big plays, as point scoring chance will be at a premium. Expect this game to be slow developing and for even special teams to be an adventure when trying for field goals. Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of CState's L6 against an opponent in the Mountain Division, and in 6 of their L7 Friday games. On the other side the UNDER is 5-0 in the Cowboys L5 vs. a team with a losing record. Also, November's in Wyoming give us the UNDER as well, to the tune of 14 of the L20. Plus the UNDER has hit for the Cowboys in 6 of their L9 vs. MWC teams. Despite Wyoming's recent struggles, they seem stronger, especially with Colorado State losing 3 of their last 4 away games. I'm going with the UNDER on Friday Night Lights. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 6* CFB O/U Play |

BC +3 In Week 10, we've got a Friday Night Lights matchup between Syracuse (4-4, 3-4-1 ATS, 0-4 ACC, 3-1 HOME) and Boston College (5-3, 3-5 ATS, 2-2 ACC, 2-1 AWAY) at JMA Wireless Dome. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET, catch it on ESPN2. Week 10 ATS Betting Lines favor Syracuse (-2.5 to -3), with Moneyline odds of Syracuse (-139) and Boston College (+117). The Over/Under total is set at 51. Boston College is riding high after a 21-14 victory against UConn, while Syracuse is reeling from a 38-10 loss to Virginia Tech. These teams seem to be heading in opposite directions. Their last meeting on 11/26/22 ended in a Syracuse 32-23 win, with BC covering the +10.5. In their last 10 games, BC is 8-2 SU (4-6 ATS), and Syracuse is 5-5 SU (4-6 ATS). BC averages 28 PPG, while Syracuse puts up 26 PPG. Syracuse has been unable to figure things out offensively. That is going to be the biggest difference here. The Orange inability to move the ball has led to turnovers and quick 3 and outs. BC's defense has been impressive, allowing no more than 24 points in any game during their recent streak. Meanwhile, Syracuse has struggled against UNC, FSU, Clemson, and Va. Tech, losing by a combined score of 150-34. It's a tough road ahead for the Orange. BC has got more to play for it seems like (bowl eligibility) We're backing the hotter team. Boston College is going to come at this Orange offensive line with so many different blitz packages, giving them a lot to think about. If they can get into the backfield and not give them a lot of time to throw, this Orange team is simply not built to come from behind. Some trends to note, the Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their L7 as a road dog of 0.5-3.0. Also, BC are 4-1 SU in their L5, and 6-3 in their L9 in November. Cuse are 0-4-1 in their L5 ATS, and 1-4 SU in their L5. Plus they're 0-8 ATS in their L8 vs. ACC teams. Finally, the Orange are 0-8 ATS in their L8 after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. Meet me at the window! I'm backing the Eagles on TGIF. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

I'm delivering a win to you "via Amazon Prime!" (See what I did there? LOL) The Titans will be without Tannehill once again and this Pittsburgh defense is going to blitz all night long in this one. The Steelers defense is one of the best, led by TJ Watt, who loves to cause a lot of havoc in the backfield. They'll get a look at Will Levis here, who does come in off a good start. Still, Pittsburgh defense is 2nd in the NFL in takeaways this season. They are going to put together a lot of different blitz packages and have Levis on tilt here. The advantage its with the home side in this one as they should control the tempo on both sides of the ball. Some trends to note, Pittsburgh are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss, plus, they're 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. On the other side the Titans are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Pittsburgh. While they may have found their QB of the future I'm not impressed with the Titans overall. I just don't think the Titans are a very good football team. Steelers -2.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-02-23 | TCU v. Texas Tech -3 | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Red Raiders -3 In a crucial matchup, TCU (4-4, 1-2 AWAY, 3-5 ATS) takes on Texas Tech (3-5, 2-2 HOME, 3-5 ATS) tonight in Week 10. Both teams seek a win after a bye week, aiming for bowl eligibility in their Big 12 clash in Lubbock, Texas. The game kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET on FS1. The betting odds favor Texas Tech (-3) as the Spread Favorite (ATS). On the moneyline, it's Texas Tech (-148) for straight up bettors and TCU (+124). The Over/Under total is set at 59.5. Their previous meeting on 11/5/22 ended in a 34-24 TCU victory. TCU is 4-6 SU in their last 10, while the Red Raiders are 5-5 SU. Last games out TCU got smashed 41-3 by KState. Tech lost 27-14 to BYU. We're on Texas Tech here, at home. This is almost a must win for the Red Raiders if they hope to find themselves in the postseason bowl games. They have dealt with injuries all season long, but do get back QB Behren Morton, who will make a difference here. He's the spark TT needs to get that offense going again. I have no doubt here. He's been able to lead this offense when healthy to some big plays and solid performances overall. Tech needs to win 3 of their last 4 to get to a bowl so his timing is great, and Jake Strong was not the answer. TCU has been one of the most disappointing teams in the nation this year and they have struggled on the road. This is going to be a game where Texas Tech comes out with a bit of fire underneath them as well. The Red Raiders should be able to find a lot of success against this secondary, we're backing TT. Protect the ball, and don't turn it over tonight...that's how TT takes this one. Weather will be clear and in the high 60's, not a factor. Some trends to note, Red Raiders are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 vs. Big 12 teams. On the other side TCU are 3-6 ATS in their L9. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-01-23 | Kent State v. Akron OVER 38 | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
OVER 38 Two teams with a long history dating back to 1923 are set to battle it out tonight at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field in Akron, OH. It's Akron (1-7, 1-2 at home, 3-5 ATS) taking on Kent State (1-7, 0-5 away, 2-6 ATS) in a clash of MAC opponents. As they prepare for this matchup, the Zips are coming off a tough 41-14 loss to Bowling Green, while the Golden Flashes suffered a 24-6 loss to Buffalo. The odds for this game have the Zips as 4-point favorites with an over/under set at 38 points. Taking a closer look, Akron is -178 on the moneyline (for straight-up bettors), while Kent State is sitting at +149. The O/U is 38. Get ready for some exciting weekday MACtion! Akron and Kent battle for the Wagon Wheel in what is a down year for both teams. Although it's a blast from the past, it's worth noting that these teams first met in 1923 when Akron emerged victorious with a 32-0 win. While that historic game may not have much relevance today, I wanted you to know! LOL In terms of their overall head-to-head record, the Zips hold the edge at 35-28-2. Their most recent encounter was on 10/22/22 when Kent State secured a 33-27 win. As we approach this matchup, the Golden Flashes have posted a 3-7 record in their last 10 straight-up (SU) games, while the Zips stand at 5-5 SU. We’re backing this low total of the Over, as they’re going to pull out all the stops here. Realistically, this is like both team’s both game here in 2023. Neither team will be crashing the postseason and these two sides are separated by just one highway. Akron and Kent both have awful defenses for starters, so we should see both offenses at least move the ball with some ease. Combine that with the playbooks going to be opened up here as this should be a game with a lot of creativity from both coaches. Look for shots to be taken down field and for this to be a higher scoring game. Some trends to note, the Over is 5-0 in Kent's L5 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10, we've also seen the OVER hit in 6 of Kent State's L9 games, and 5 of their L6 games on the road. Get ready for some mid-week MACtion as these teams look to add another chapter to their storied rivalry. We're on the OVER on Humpday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAF O/U Play |

10-30-23 | Raiders v. Lions -8 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 169 h 21 m | Show | |
LIONS -8 Locking this in early. I expect the line to move UP TO -9 or -9.5 as the weak moves on. (I could be wrong, and I was wrong. LOL) Tonight, it's Monday Night Football in Week 8 as the Raiders (3-4) take on the Lions (5-2) at Ford Field, with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC/ESPN. For those looking to bet straight up, the odds stand at Raiders +300 and Lions -375. If you prefer the point spread, the Lions are favored by -7.5 (-115), and the Over/Under total is set at 44.5. In their last outing, the Raiders suffered a brutal defeat, losing 30-12 to the Bears in a game that was completely one-sided. They failed to cover the spread as a 2.5-point road favorite. On the other hand, Detroit had a tough time too, experiencing their worst loss of the season, a 38-6 drubbing at the hands of the Ravens, failing to cover as 3-point underdogs. Tonight we're in a nice bounce back spot on the Lions. They are here to put last week behind them as they were throttled by the Ravens. They still have had a lot of success thus far and still have far more confidence heading into play here. The Raiders had just 235 yards in their loss to Chicago, a game in which their struggles came on both sides of the ball. Las Vegas has just been far too inconsistent to trust. The Lions should be able to move the ball on them and put together some solid drives early in this one. Look for the Lions to stake themselves out to a lead and have this Raiders team in an uncomfortable spot. Some trends to note, Vegas are 2-4 ATS in their L6 games, and they're 3-7 SU in their L10 games. They're also 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road. On the other side, Detroit are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games at home. Back the Lions at home on MNF. Jimmy G or not (he'll play), this is a double-digit win for the Lions who get back on track. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NFL ATS Play |

10-29-23 | Bears v. Chargers UNDER 46.5 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 145 h 30 m | Show | |
UNDER 46.5 Locking this in early. I expect the line to move down as the weak moves on. (I could be wrong) We're on the Under in this one as this should be a slower developing game. Both offenses love to slow things down as we've seen them both struggle to put up points through the first few weeks of this season. This is going to be the kind of game where the clock continues to run and the run games are established. Combine that with neither side being explosive too. We've seen a lack of a spark from both the Chargers and the Bears, who have struggled to find the big play. That benefits us here on this under tremendously. Some trends to note, The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Chargers' L5 games, plus the total has gone UNDER in 4 of LAC's L5 games against Chicago, and lastly the total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Chargers' L6 games at home. Back the UNDER 46.5 on Sunday Night Football. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL O/U Play |

10-29-23 | Ravens v. Cardinals +9 | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 87 h 1 m | Show | |
Cardinals +9 In Week 8, the Ravens (5-2, 5-2 ATS) hit the road to face the Cardinals (1-6, 3-4 ATS). The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, and on TV on CBS. When it comes to NFL Week 8 betting odds, the Moneyline shows the Ravens at -400 and the Cardinals at +325. Additionally, the ATS line is set at Ravens -8.5, and the Over/Under (O/U) stands at 44.5 points. The Cardinals suffered a 20-10 loss on the road against Seattle, entering this matchup as 10-point underdogs. On the other hand, the Ravens are riding high with two consecutive victories, the most recent being a 38-6 home W against Detroit. Hold your nose on this one. The Cards are the move here though as this is an interesting spot. Baltimore caught all the attention after their throttling last week against the Lions. Baltimore looked like they were a top team in the entire league, dominating on both sides of the ball. This is a bit of a trap spot. Everyone will see this and look at the 1-6 Cards and think it's an easy win for the Ravens. But this is a big let down spot. Arizona went toe to toe with the Seahawks last week in a low scoring game. Arizona can lean on their defense here and try to force some long yardage situations for this Ravens offense. If they can sustain drives offensively and slow the tempo down, they'll have this Ravens team frustrated. We're playing this to be a low scoring game and for it to be close throughout. Weather won't be a factor. A trend to note, Baltimore are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against Arizona, also, Arizona is winning the turnover differential here at +1. The Ravens are -3. So there's that. HOME DOGS FTW. Back the Desert Dogs on Sunday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play |

10-29-23 | Rams v. Cowboys -6 | 20-43 | Win | 100 | 44 h 54 m | Show | |
Cowboys -6 Sunday, it's the Rams (3-4, 4-2-1 ATS) versus the Cowboys (4-2, 4-2 ATS). The game will start at 1:00 PM ET in Arlington, TX, at AT&T Stadium. You can watch it on FOX. In their previous games, the Rams lost 24-17 to the Steelers, and the Cowboys beat the Chargers 20-17. The latest betting odds are as follows: Cowboys are favored to win with a Moneyline of -276, while the Rams have a Moneyline of +224. The Cowboys are also favored by -6 on the Spread, and the Total points O/U is set at 45.5. Dallas is the move here. The Cowboys have found some consistency and now they return home where they have played just twice this year. Typically, the Cowboys have had success in the past at home and now they will see a string of games where most will be inside this building. This Dallas side will lean on their defense. They rank third in the NFL in total defense, allowing just 288.7 yards per game. They should be able to have the Rams on their heels, as they love to put together a lot of different blitz packages. Look for them to force Los Angeles into some long yardage situations and get off the field on third down. When these two teams have faced off before, the Cowboys have won 15 times in regular-season games and 4 times in the playoffs, while the Rams have won 13 regular-season games and lost 5 playoff games against them. The Cowboys are averaging 25.67PPG, the Rams 22.14PPG. The Cowboys only allow 16PPG, the Rams 20PPG. Cowboys are 6-4 vs. the Rams in the L10 averaging 28PPG to LAR's 20PPG in those L10 games. Some trends to note, Rams are 5-13 SU in their L18 games, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games when playing on the road against Dallas. On the other side Dallas are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games, are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games, and lastly they're 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home. I'm on the Boys on Sunday -6. They'll win this by 10+. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

10-29-23 | Texans v. Panthers +3.5 | 13-15 | Win | 100 | 44 h 32 m | Show | |
Panthers +3.5 On Sunday, the Texans (3-3, 4-2 ATS) will face off against the Panthers (0-6, 0-5-1 ATS) in a game that features rookie quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young. The matchup will take place at 1:00 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC and will be broadcast on FOX. The Panthers are coming into this game after a bye week, following a 42-21 loss to the Dolphins in Week 6. Meanwhile, Houston also had a bye week and are coming off a 20-13 W over the Saints. In terms of odds, the Texans are favored with a -185 Moneyline (straight up odds), while the Panthers stand at +150. The Texans are also favored by 3.5 points against the spread (ATS), and the over/under (total points) is set at 43.5. The Panthers are looking to right this ship and find the win column. This is the perfect matchup as they take on a Texans team that isn't overpowering by any means. Carolina can find success here on both sides of the ball. The Texans rank 25th in the NFL on the ground, as they have been extremely inconsistent. The lack of rushing attack will play into the Panthers favor here, as they know Houston will have a tough time moving the ball. Look for this game to be a grind it out kind of one, where the Panthers will have to sustain drives and keep this offense on the field. With two similar styles, it should be close throughout here. Carolina has still exceeded 20 points on three different occasions this year, so they can put their share of points up. Weather won't be a factor. The Texans come in averaging 22.5PPG, Carolina 18PPG. The Texans allow 18PPG, and the Panthers 31PPG. I'm backing Bryce Young to be the better of the two rookie QB's this week. A new play caller during the bye week is the medicine he needed. The Panthers however are a top 10 team in the Redzone. So, they've got that going for them. Looking at their past encounters, these two haven't faced each other often. The Panthers hold a 4-2 all-time record against Houston, with a 1-1 record at home and they're also 3-1 away. Some trends to note, Houston are 5-13 SU in their L18 games, and they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games against Carolina. On the other side the Panthers are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5 games as a home underdog of 0.5 to 3, and finally they're 10-1 SU in their L11 games against an opponent in the AFC South. Carolina could win this outright and get off the schneid. Take the Panthers on Sunday and grab the points. (All of em') Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

10-29-23 | San Jose State -10.5 v. Hawaii | 35-0 | Win | 100 | 71 h 52 m | Show | |
San Jose State -10.5 The Spartans (3-5, 5-2-1 ATS) and the Warriors (2-6, 1-6 ATS) are set to face off on a late Saturday night at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu, HI. This matchup features two Mountain West Conference (MWC) teams. In terms of betting, the Spartans are favored by -10.5 to -11 points, with an over/under total line of 61.5. For those looking at the moneyline, SJST stands at -415, while Hawaii is at +355. Hawaii is coming off a 42-21 loss to New Mexico, while the Spartans are entering this game fresh from a 42-21 victory over the Utah State Aggies. San Jose State is the play late Saturday. If you're looking for a late night bail out, look no further. The final game on the board sends San Jose State into Hawaii at midnight eastern time. We're backing the visitors here, as they are coming in with a ton of confidence. The Spartans have won back to back games and they/ve done it in dominant fashion. They've averaged 47 points per game in those two wins as New Mexico State and Utah State had no chance. They were able to establish the ground game, which wore down the opposition. They got things going early, which wore down the opposing defenses. They should be able to do the same to Hawaii here, who has had a ton of issues stopping the run. SJSU QB Chevan Cordeiro will also have a lot of incentive here. He transferred from Hawaii and will look to beat his old team in a stadium he has plenty of experience in. SIDENOTE: I was at this game in Hawaii a few years ago just before COVID shut down the world (while on a family vacation) and let me tell you. SJST travels well. There were some good scraps in the stands! This may feel like a travelling "home game" for them. LOL Some trends to note, Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their L4 road games, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their L6. For Hawaii, they're 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 games overall, and they're 0-4 ATS in their L4 games as a dog. Aloha! We're backing the Spartans in Honolulu on Saturday night. A nice bail you out play!

10-28-23 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +14.5 | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 67 h 32 m | Show | |
Wisconsin +14.5 The Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0 in the Big Ten, with a 4-3 ATS record) are set to face the Wisconsin Badgers (5-2, 3-1, and 2-4-1 ATS) this Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on NBC. Taking a glance at the betting odds, the Moneyline (ML) shows Ohio State as the favorite at -630, while Wisconsin stands at +450. The point spread (ATS) favors Ohio State by -14 points, and the Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 44.5. In their recent matchups, the Buckeyes secured a 20-12 victory over Penn State in a thrilling top-10 showdown at The Horseshoe. Meanwhile, the Badgers faced a setback, losing 15-6 to Iowa in Madison two weeks ago, but they bounced back with a 25-21 road win against Illinois in Week 8. We're on Wisconsin here, with the points. A night game, at Camp Randall, with a top team in the country coming in. This has the makings of a trap game following the Nittany Lions game for the Buckeyes. Ohio State's win wasn't pretty, but they continued their trek toward the Playoff. This is the kind of game where they need to be careful. Wisconsin isn't going to wow anyone by any means. However, they have the ability to frustrate opposing teams. They establish the run game per usual and if they can get it going, things are going to get dicey. The Badgers can wear teams down and then you combine a night crowd here and this is a spot where they can keep things close. Wisconsin can keep the ball out of the Buckeyes offensive hands and slow this game down to a tempo they favor. Ohio State looked great vs. Penn St. but the Badgers present some different challenges for sure. Some trends to note, Badgers are 10-1 ATS in their L11 games as a home underdog, and are 4-1 SU in their L5 games, finally, they're 8-3 SU in their L11 games played in October. Back the Badgers here on Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play |

10-28-23 | Troy v. Texas State UNDER 53.5 | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 27 h 30 m | Show | |
UNDER 53.5 Troy (5-2 record, 3-3 ATS) is playing against Texas State (5-2 record, 3-3 ATS) at Jim Wacker Field, Bobcat Stadium in San Marcos, Texas. You can watch it on ESPN+. The odds. Troy is the favorite, with a -6.5 point advantage. The total score expected in the game is 53.5. If you want to bet on the teams winning outright, you can choose Troy at -250 or Texas State at +215. The Trojans won their last game with a score of 19-0 against Army. The Bobcats also won their recent game against ULM, 21-20. The Sun Belt is full of a lot of teams sitting near the top of the standings. It seems like every team is 2-1 as they try to separate themselves. We're on the this under for a few reasons. This is going to be a tightly played game. Troy's defense is one of the best in the conference, as they've allowed 10 points on average per game through their last 3. Overall, they've gone under in 5 straight. Texas State has been cashing in on the Under too. They love to run the ball, which should see a lot of clock movement. With that, the Trojans are one of the best at stopping the run and shouldn't allow much there. Some trends to note, for Troy 5 of their 6 games this season have gone UNDER. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Texas State's L6. Lastly, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Texas State's L9 games played on a Saturday when at home. The two teams have played 12 games, and Texas State only won once, in 1997. My forecast has this one coming in UNDER 49. Back the UNDER in San Marcos on Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

10-28-23 | USC v. California +10.5 | 50-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Cal +10.5 Saturday brings an interesting clash between USC (6-2, 2-1 on road) vs. California (3-4, 2-2 at home). This one kicks off at 4pm ET at the California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, CA. Catch the excitement on TV on the Pac-12 Network. USC holds the upper hand with an 11-point advantage. If you're considering the moneyline, USC is at -457, while California is at +335. For those interested in totals betting, the Over/Under is set at 67.5 points. After last week's loss to Utah I'm not sure USC has much left in the tank. Plus that loss all but ended their playoff hopes too! Not how Caleb Williams drew this season up. The schedule USC has played in 2023 has been a grind. They're tired and are allowing over 30PPG, and the fatigue is showing. AND it's not over yet. (USC still has UW, Oregon and UCLA on the schedule) CAL is coming into this one rested and off a bye week. That's a huge advantage at this point of the season. Especially for game-planning purposes. I'm expecting a run-heavy game by the Bears. Jaydn Ott will get the ball early and often. Ball control is the name of the game here. In 2022 Cal gave USC all they could handle losing 41-35. I'm not sure I expect this many points on Saturday but I think Cal could win this one outright. If not outright, chances are HIGH for an ATS cover. Some trends to note, USC hasn't done well lately. They're 0-5 in their L5 ATS, and they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 vs. CAL. USC also isn't a fan of October. Losing 8 of their L10 in Oct. Plus the Golden Bears are 4-0 ATS in their L4 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.5. Back the Bears on Saturday as home dogs. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAA ATS Play |

Utah +6.5 The 9th-ranked Ducks (6-1, 5-1-1 ATS) are set to face off against the 13th-ranked Utes (6-1, 4-1-1 ATS) in a Pac-12 showdown Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. The Ducks are favored by 6.5 points, and the Over/Under Total for the game is set at 48. For those interested in the moneyline, Oregon is at -250, while Utah stands at +203. Utah's recent game was a thrilling 34-32 victory against the USC Trojans, a match I watched closely and can attest to the Utes' prowess. On the other hand, the Ducks are entering this matchup fresh off a 38-24 triumph over the WSU Cougars. We're playing Utah here, as they continue to find a ton of success. This team just is consistent at giving everyone frustrations and putting up good performances. They come in with all the momentum right now as well, after beating USC on a last second field goal. Every week, they get a different hero and they match up well with this Oregon side. The Ducks are going to play at an uncomfortable pace. The Utes slow things down and will look to move the chains on drives. That will have Oregon off their game, as they will struggle to find any sort of rhythm. Despite the slow pace, the Utes still can put up big plays too. They have scored over 30 in back to back weeks and should find plenty of success against Oregon's defense that has plenty of issues to deal with. They also have the coaching advantage here. I know I know Ducks fans...you disagree with me. BUT Kyle Whittingham for my money is the best college football coach in the nation! COME AT ME BRO! LOL Some trends to note, Utah are 6-1 SU in their L7 games, and are a mind-blowing 18-0 SU in their L18 games at home, and finally they're 17-3 SU in their L20 games against an opponent in the Pac-12 conference. We're backing the Utes again this week after cashing on them in Week 8. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play |

10-28-23 | Georgia v. Florida OVER 48.5 | 43-20 | Win | 100 | 23 h 3 m | Show | |
Over 48.5 What a GREAT Saturday afternoon football game we've got in store for us in SEC action. The Champs - Georgia come into this one sporting a 7-0 (4-0 SEC, 2-5 ATS) record. They'll be taking on Florida who are 5-2 (3-1 SEC, 3-4 ATS). Kickoff is at 3:30pm ET from TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, FL. Watch it on CBS. Last week UG took down Vandy 37-20. Florida also grabbed a DUB with a 41-39 high flying win over the Cocks. (They were 1-pt dogs) A quick look at the betting odds for this one sees UG a -14.5 point favorite (opened at -13), the O/U total line is set at 48.5 currently (opened at 44.5) Georgia -550 on the ML, and Florida +460 on the ML are the odds for straight up bets. This rivalry is always a fun one. This is just too low of a total given how both offenses operate. Georgia's defense hasn't looked the same as they have in past seasons either. Vandy even put up a fight against them, but naturally the Bulldogs offense is too powerful. Georgia and Florida will pull out all the stops in this game so we should see both sides take their shots down field. Look for Georgia to take this game personally as well, as people around the nation are starting to rumble that they may not be the best team with Michigan and Ohio State on their heels. The Bulldogs offense is rolling after the last few weeks and they should put up a lot of points themselves to help this over. Weather won't be a factor, game time temps should be low 80's, with less than 10mph winds. Grab 48 if you see it! I can see this one heading NORTH of 60. Georgia holds a 55-44-2 matchup advantage. They've been locking horns since 1915. UG have won 5 of the L6. Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 4 of UG's L5 games, and the OVER is 5-0 in Bulldogs L5 vs. a team with a winning record. On the other side the OVER is 4-0 in Gators L4 games in October, 4 of Florida's last 6 games, AND 4 of the L6 games vs. Georgia. I'm on the OVER 48.5 on Saturday night for this UG/FLA matchup.

Wake Forest +21 There's a big game this Saturday between two different teams that look to be going in different directions in 2023. The FSU Seminoles (7-0, 5-0 ACC, 5-2 ATS) are playing against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-3, 1-3 ACC, 3-4 ATS) at noon ET on ABC at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium in Winston-Salem. The latest betting info on the ML has FSU as a -1400 favorite (Risk $1400 to win $100?) But if you choose Wake Forest and they win, you'd get $800 for your $100. If you like point spreads, Florida State is -21 ATS, and the total points expected in the game is 51.5. These teams have been playing since 1956. Florida State has won 30 times, Wake Forest 9 times, and they tied 1x. When FSU plays in Winston-Salem, they've won 9/14. Wake has won 3x in a row recently vs. FSU. Wake Forest catches Florida State in a nice spot here. This could be the kind of game where FSU doesn't come out with the same intensity as they've had in the recent weeks. The Demon Deacons also get back QB Mitch Griffis, who has been able to produce some good games here thus far. This offense works far better with him calling the shots and they should find some success against this Noles defense. Given the look ahead spot here, the Seminoles are going to not be as aggressive. They were taken to the brink against the Blue Devils last week and now they go down a step in competition. Wake should be able to keep this close and find the end zone a few times, putting a little pressure on FSU. Some trends to note, FSU are 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 games against Wake, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite of 10.5 or greater. On the other side Wake Forest are 17-3 SU in their L20 games at home, and WF is 13-3 SU in their L16 games in OCT. Wake Forest will do all they can to keep this one within the number on Saturday. +21 is there for the taking. +20.5 is OK too. I'm on Wake Forest +21 this weekend. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

10-26-23 | Bucs v. Bills -9 | 18-24 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 19 m | Show | |
Bills -9 In Week 8, it's the Buccaneers (3-3) versus the Bills (4-3) on Amazon's TNF. They'll be facing off at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, NY, with kickoff set for 8:15pm ET. The Moneyline (ML) offers the Bucs at +320 and the Bills at -405 for those who prefer straight up bets. ATS lines, the Bills are favored by -9, and the Over/Under (O/U) is set between 42.5 up to 43.5. Last games for each saw Buffalo suffer a 29-25 defeat on the road against the Patriots, while the Bucs had a disappointing 16-13 loss to the Falcons. Weather won't be a factor. Game time temps call for low 70's, and no rain. For starters the Bucs can't run the ball, so that makes them 1-dimensional. Buffalo, while banged up should be licking their chops to come after Baker on Thursday in Full Old School Buffalo Blitzkrieg mode. (Is Bruce Smith available?) Baker is going to have to go full on check-down Baker to move the ball on Thursday night. The Bucs have lost 3 of 4 and this could be one of the last times we see Baker Mayfield at QB. *YES* it's that bad! Check out their injury report. They can't run the ball (as I said) as it is, now they have O-lineman missing games (likely 2), and their best defensive player Vita Vea is a possible GTD. The Bills are a top 15 team in the NFL in both Passing and Rushing, and they're #2 in points scored. Allen is having a solid season, currently 5th in the NFL for passing yards with 1,841 in 7 games. Averaging 263YPG with a 70% completion rate. He also has tossed 15 TD's to only 7 INT's. (3 weren't his fault) These are numbers Baker just can't touch, and there's just no way TB can keep up with Buffalo on the scoreboard. Some trends to note, Buffalo are 12-4 SU in their L16 games, and they're 15-3 SU in their L18 games at home. On the other side TB are 4-10 ATS in their L14 games, and are 0-6 ATS in their L6 games against AFC teams. Bills win by 12+. We're backing the Bills ATS on Thursday Night Football. Good Luck, Razor Ray. TNF 8* NFL ATS Play |

10-26-23 | Syracuse v. Virginia Tech -3 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Va Tech -3 Get ready for an ACC showdown as the Hokies (3-4, 2-1 ACC, 3-3-1 ATS) take on the Orange (4-3, 0-3, 4-3 ATS) in college football Week 9. The odds for this game favor the Hokies at -3, with the total points expected at 47. If you're into straight-up betting, the odds stand at Orange +120 and Hokies -142. The Hokies have been on a decent streak, winning two out of their last three games, while the Orange are on a three-game losing skid in ACC conference play. Both teams had a bye in Week 8. In their previous outings, the Hokies secured a solid 30-13 victory against WF, while the Orange suffered a tough 41-3 loss to the Seminoles. Virginia Tech is the play on Thursday! We get a small line here on the Hokies, at home. Virginia Tech comes in 3-1 this season at home and with a night game on a Thursday, this crowd should be rocking to Enter Sandman. The Orange have just been far too inconsistent to trust as well. They come 4-3 overall, but they're just 1-2 on the road. They limp into play after being just knocked around by the Tar Heels and the Seminoles in the past two weeks. We've seen them struggle at times on the defensive end, which knocks them out of their rhythm on the other side of the ball. Virginia Tech should be able to dictate the pace here. Look for them to wear down this Syracuse defensive line and eventually start to get a big push up front. Weather looks good call it high 60's low 70's at game time, and no chance of rain. Some trends to note, Syracuse are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road, and they're 2-4 ATS in their L6 games when playing on the road against Va. Tech. The Hokies are the better team here and they're laying a small number. Back the Hokies on Thursday night! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CFB ATS Play |

10-25-23 | UTEP +3.5 v. Sam Houston State | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 20 h 57 m | Show | |
UTEP +3.5 On Wednesday it's a Conference USA football matchup featuring the UTEP Miners, currently holding a 2-6 record overall and 1-3 in their conference. They had a disheartening 28-7 defeat to New Mexico State last week. On the other hand, Sam Houston, with a winless 0-7 record overall and 0-4 in conference play, is seeking their first victory after a tough 33-27 overtime loss at home to FIU. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. According to the current live odds, Sam Houston is favored by 3.5 points, and the over/under for total points scored is set at 36. For those interested in straight-up betting, the moneyline odds stand at -177 for Sam Houston and +148 for UTEP. We're on UTEP here, as they get points on the road. This is the pure fact off taking a team going against a winless team and getting points. Sam Houston State is 0-7 this year and while they've continued to be close in games, they still can't find a way to win. They've continued to fail in clutch time and with another game expected to be close, we're going to see this one go either way. UTEP isn't a pushover either. While they have just 2 wins, one of those was a win a few weeks ago on the road. They have played well at times on the defensive end and will lean on their defense to make some big plays here. Look for this to be close throughout, with the points being the move here. Some trends to note, UTEP are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played in October. On the other side, Sam Houston State are 0-10 SU in their last 10 games, and they're 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in CUSA. Back UTEP ATS on Humpday! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

10-24-23 | New Mexico State v. Louisiana Tech OVER 52 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
OVER 52 Get ready for a big CUSA showdown on Tuesday night at 7:00 PM EDT. It's happening at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston, LA, and it's the New Mexico State (5-3, 6-2 ATS) facing off against Louisiana Tech (3-5, 3-5 ATS). You can catch the action on CBS Sports Network. The latest college football betting odds: The Aggies are the favorite with a -2.5 spread (ATS), and for those going straight up, the moneyline sits with the Bulldogs at (-128) and New Mexico State (+108). The Over/Under (Total) for the game is set at 51.5 points. This is the kind of game where we should see a plenty of back and forth action. Louisiana Tech has seen their last two games go above 50 points as they have struggled defensively. They’ve given up a combined 66 points and because of that, they’ve had to pick the pace up offensively. That’s going to be the case once again here as this offense has really opened up the playbook with taking chances down field. New Mexico State has continued to flourish themselves offensively. They will utilize their run game to open up passing lanes. Look for tempo at times from both teams and for big plays to come each way. A trend to note, the total has gone OVER in 11 of the Bulldogs' L12 games at home. Plus 1 FACT: The Bulldogs have not lost to New Mexico State since 2006. We're backing the OVER on Tuesday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CFB O/U Play |

10-22-23 | Dolphins v. Eagles -3 | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Eagles -3 Tonight on Sunday Night Football, two former Alabama Crimson Tide teammates, Tagovailoa and Hurts, meet for the first time in their NFL careers. The Dolphins (5-1, 5-1 ATS) clash with the Eagles (5-1, 3-2-1 ATS) at 8:20 PM ET in Lincoln Financial Field, airing on NBC. Philadelphia is favored at -1.5 ATS, while for straight-up bettors, Miami offers +109, and Philadelphia stands at -133 on the ML. As for the NFL Betting Total, it's set at O/U 52. We’re backing the Eagles on Sunday night football. Miami’s defense has had its issues and they will have their hands full with this Phili attack. Philadelphia welcomes in the Dolphins and it’s always tough to go into Phili and come out with a win. The Eagles are in a full bounce back spot too. They were upset by the Jets last week and we’ve seen this team rarely let losses pile up. This is a game where they can feed off the home crowd, at night. Look for the Eagles to open the playbook early too, knowing they have to find momentum to erase last week. This offense can strike in so many different ways and they’re worth playing here. The Eagles are 12-1 in games played in Sept/Oct the L2 years, which is of course the best record over that time in the NFL. The loss? Was to the Jets (last week). Weather won't trouble the Eagles, but it might be a tad chilly for Miami with a forecasted 10mph wind and game-time temperatures between 45-50°F. Some trends to note, Miami are 2-6 ATS in their L8 games against Philadelphia. On the other side, Philadelphia are 5-1 SU in their L6 games, and are 4-1 SU in their L5 games at home, and they're 10-4 ATS in their L14 games against an opponent in the AFC East. Back the Eagles to cover the 3 on SNF. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

10-22-23 | Steelers v. Rams -3 | 24-17 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 29 m | Show | |
Rams -3 The Steelers (3-2, 3-2 ATS) take on the Rams (3-3, 4-1-1 ATS) this Sunday at SoFi Stadium in NFL Week 7 action. Kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. EST, and you can watch it on FOX. In the NFL Week 7 odds, the Rams are favored by 3.5 points over the Steelers. The moneyline odds show the Rams at -175 and the Steelers at +145. The total points for the game are set at 42.5. The Rams have value here, at home. Los Angeles comes in after beating down the Cardinals last week. They were able to pick up yards in chunks and really had Arizona on their heels early. On the other side, Pittsburgh has been atrocious offensively. They rank 27th in yards per play and 32nd in red zone offense. They have had so many issues top to bottom even just moving the ball. This is going to be another game where they struggle to get anything going. Look for the Rams to blitz all night long and really put Pickett in some trouble. The Steelers had a bye week in NFL Week 6, while the Rams are coming off a solid 26-9 win against the Arizona Cardinals. These teams have clashed 27 times in their history, including one playoff game. The Steelers have won 10 times, the Rams 15, and they've tied twice. Some trends to note, the Steelers are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against LA. The Rams are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games, are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games at home. Plus if you like this sort of trend the Rams are 5-0 SU in their L5 games played in week 7. The Steelers don't have an answer for Kupp, and he can win this one by himself. Back the Rams to take down the Steel Curtain on Sunday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

10-22-23 | Cardinals v. Seahawks -7.5 | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 48 h 12 m | Show | |
Seahawks -7.5 Sunday the Cardinals (1-5 SU, 3-3 ATS) will be going head-to-head with the Seahawks (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) at 4:05 ET at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. The current Week 7 ATS Betting Lines lean in favor of Seattle, with a spread ranging from -7.5 to -8 points. When it comes to the NFL Moneyline Odds, Arizona stands at +300, Seattle -385. The NFL Betting Total is set at O/U 44.5. Both teams faced losses in Week 6, as the Seahawks fell 17-13 to the Bengals, and the Cardinals suffered a 26-9 loss to the Rams. We’re on the Seahawks, laying the number. Seattle is just far better than Arizona. The Cardinals come in with 3 straight losses in games they didn’t have any sort of chance in. Defensively they rank near the bottom in almost every category and they haven’t been able to slow anyone down. Seattle is in the midst of looking to rebound after dropping a tough one to the Bengals last week. Prior to that they had won 3 in a row themselves and they should be able to dictate a lot in this game. Look for them to control the possession clock and sustain drives, which should open up passing lanes for Smith to find Lockett (who I expect to have a big game), & Metcalf down field all day. I also think the run game with Charbonnet and Walker III will run up the stats in this one. Some trends to note, Arizona are 1-12 SU in their last 13 games., and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Seattle, finally they're 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against the Seahawks. A deeper dive into their history reveals that the Seahawks and Cardinals have clashed 48 times, with Seattle winning 25 games, the Cardinals 22, and a tie. Last year, they met twice, with the Seahawks prevailing in both matchups by a 10-point margin each time. Sunday weather shouldn't be a factor, mid 50's with a 25% chance of rain. (Normal for the PNW) We're backing the Seahawks by -7.5 on Sunday in Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

10-22-23 | Raiders -3 v. Bears | 12-30 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 15 m | Show | |
Raiders -3 The Raiders (3-3, 3-3 ATS) will face the Bears (1-5, 1-4-1 ATS) this Sunday at Soldier Field during NFL Week 7 action. You can catch the game at 1pm ET on FOX. The betting odds give the Raiders a 3-point advantage as the favorites, with Las Vegas at -155 on the moneyline and Chicago at +130. The over/under point total is set at 38.5. In their recent games, the Raiders secured a 21-17 victory against the Patriots, while the Bears suffered a 19-13 defeat at the hands of the Vikings. We’re on the raiders here in this one. Las Vegas takes on a beaten and bruised Bears team. They will start undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent in this one. Fields continues to recover from a dislocated right thumb. The Raiders will also be on the backup train, with likely Brian Hoyer as their option. From their perspective, at least Hoyer does have a lot of NFL experience and won’t be overwhelmed in this spot. Expect them to lean on the run game here and give Hoyer some short options early when it comes to passing the ball. Defensively, they will blitz all day and try to rattled Bagent. Some trends to note, Chicago are 1-15 SU in their last 16 games, 0-10 SU in their last 10 games at home, and they're 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 games. These two teams have faced off 16 times in their history, with both the Bears and the Raiders winning 8 games each. The Bears' last triumph was a 20-9 victory back in October 2021. Back the RAAAAAIIIIIIDDDDERS on Sunday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NFL ATS Play |

10-22-23 | Bills -7.5 v. Patriots | 25-29 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 22 m | Show | |
Bills -7.5 In this week's NFL betting spotlight, the Bills (4-2, 3-3 ATS) will clash with the struggling Patriots (1-5, 1-5 ATS). The game is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 22nd, with kickoff at 1:00 ET, taking place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. As for the odds in NFL Week 7, the Bills are favored with an -7.5 to 8-point spread, -396 for the ML, while the Patriots are the underdogs at +309. The over/under is set at 41.5. The Bills are the move here. The Pats are returning home following a tough 21-17 loss in Las Vegas, aiming to reverse their fortunes. Meanwhile, the Bills are riding the momentum of a close 17-9 victory against the Giants on Sunday night. It's worth noting that the Patriots are currently on a three-game losing streak at home, and last season, the Bills had the edge with a 2-0 record in their head-to-head matchups. New England is just an absolute wreck. This team has dropped 3 in a row and they look awful on both sides of the ball. They haven’t been able to slow anyone down when it comes to the big play and offensively they just look off. Buffalo hasn’t played up to their standards either, but they’ve found ways to get timely plays when they need to. The Bills survived the Giants last week, but should find way more success here when it comes to moving the ball. Josh Allen and this offense will open things up early here, as they attempt to get their rhythm back. They’re just too powerful and have far more of an edge in this matchup. Some trends to note, Buffalo are 12-3 SU in their L15 games, 5-1 ATS in their L6 games against the Pats, and 6-1 SU in their L7 games against the Pats as well. On the other side, New England are 1-6 SU in their L7 games, and 0-6 ATS in their L6 games at home. These two teams have a storied history, having faced off 127 times, with the Patriots winning 77 times, the Bills claiming victory 49 times, and one game ending in a tie. The Bills have beaten the Patriots in 4 of the last 5 h2h. They've won by 12, 14, 30, and 12 in those 4 wins. Back the Bills in Foxboro on Sunday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 6* NFL ATS Play |

10-21-23 | Utah +7 v. USC | 34-32 | Win | 100 | 99 h 23 m | Show | |
Utah +7 A Pac-12 showdown Saturday! It's a classic in the making as the #16 USC Trojans (6-1, 2-5 ATS) square off against the #14 Utah Utes (5-1, 3-2-1 ATS) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The game kicks off at 8:00 PM ET and takes place in LA, airing on FOX. Here are the latest betting odds: USC (-7) as the favored team, USC (-253) on the Moneyline, and Utah (+205) for straight bets. The Over/Under Total stands at 56. These two teams clashed in a memorable showdown last year during the Pac-12 Championship Game, with the Utes clinching a second consecutive victory at 47-24. USC boasts a strong offense, but Utah's defense is a force to be reckoned with, ranking 3rd in the nation in EPA per play. In their historical series, USC holds a 12-9 lead, with their first meeting dating all the way back to 1915, resulting in a 20-13 win for Utah. This is an interesting number. Utah has been without a starting QB all season, but they have shown they can compete with the best of them. Combine that with the Trojans coming in off an embarrassing loss to Notre Dame last week and this is a tale of two different sides right now. The Trojans had a lot of flaws exposed in their loss to the Fighting Irish. They were unable to move the ball like they're used to and their inability to slow teams down defensively is starting to become a big issue. Utah can work the run game and open up passing lanes, as every team for the most part that has played USC thus far has lit them up, especially in the secondary. Some trends to note, Utah are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, and they're 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against USC. For USC they're 1-4 ATS in the L5, and 2-5 ATS in their L7 Saturday matchups. At the end of the day I think Utah is a better team than Notre Dame. Just my .2c. AND look what the Irish did to SC. We're backing the Utes in this Pac 12 clash. The occasion will NOT be too big for them. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* CFB ATS Play |

10-21-23 | Coastal Carolina -8.5 v. Arkansas State | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 38 m | Show | |
Coastal Carolina -8.5 Week 8 of NCAA action features an exciting showdown between the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, with a record of 3-3 (4-2 ATS), and the Arkansas State Red Wolves, who stand at 3-3 (2-3-1 ATS). The game kicks off Saturday at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where the weather promises to be AOK (temps in the 80s, and winds below 10mph). As for the betting odds, Coastal Carolina is favored with a Moneyline of -386, while Arkansas State holds +296 odds. The Chanticleers are also favored by 10.5 points according to the ATS odds, with an Over/Under set at 61 points. When it comes to scoring, Coastal Carolina ranks 54th nationally, averaging 30PPG, while Arkansas State lags behind at 77th with 22PPG. On the defensive front, the Chanticleers allow an average of 23PPG, placing them 71st in the nation, whereas the Red Wolves have a less stellar defense, allowing 36PPG and sitting at 119th. In their recent matchup, the Chanticleers triumphed over App State 27-24. Meanwhile, the Red Wolves faced a tough defeat, suffering a 37-3 loss against Troy. I've got my popcorn ready, and I can't wait to see how ARKST plans to slow down McCall, Bennett, Pinckney and the rest of the CC offense. The Wolves are honestly one of the worst defensive teams in the country, 260+ passing yards allowed per game, 190+ rush yards per game, plus they've given up a CRAPTON of points this year. CC's offense will have a hay-day here. Troy dominated the Wolves, and Raynor was running for his life. Queue the CC defense. They're licking their chops to get after Raynor on Saturday. CC is feeling good about life right now, and you know they want to keep the train-a-rollin' vs. the Wolves. Some trends to note, CC are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and 10-0 SU in their L10 vs. West division opponents. On the other side ARK St. are 5-12 SU in their L17, and 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 at home, and finally they're 1-7 in their L8 vs. Sun Belt teams. This matchup promises an exciting clash of strengths and strategies on the gridiron. I can't wait to see this one actually. We're on the Chanticleers! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play |

Texas -23 #8 Texas (5-1, 3-3 ATS) face Houston (3-3, 3-3 ATS) Saturday at 4:00 ET in Houston's TDECU Stadium, shown on FOX. Here are the current Week 8 ATS Betting Lines: Texas -22.5, with Moneyline Odds of Texas -2097 and Houston +980. The Total is O/U 61.5. Historically, Houston has a record of 7-16-2 against UT, with a home record of 3-7-1. Last season, they didn't play each other. Houston comes off a thrilling 41-39 win over West Virginia, while Texas is back after a bye week, recovering from a tough loss to OU in the Red River Rivalry. We're on Texas here, laying the points. This is a total mismatch on Saturday. The Longhorns are just too powerful when it comes to the offensive side. The Cougars simply won't be able to keep up. Texas had a full week to think about their loss to Oklahoma and they're going to come out with some frustration. They were unable to get a stop late and now they will take on one of the worst defenses in the Big 12. Houston has been torched left and right, allowing many big plays to opposing Qbs. Texas is going to come into this one with a wide open playbook. They're going to take plenty of chances downfield, especially early on. Houston's defense ranks near the bottom in a lot of categories and those will be shown on Saturday here. Some trends to note, Texas are 5-1 SU in their L6 games. On the other side, Houston are 1-8 SU in their L9 games against an opponent in the Big 12, also, Houston are 2-6 ATS in their L8 games played on a Saturday when playing at home. There's been a few "battles of Texas" this week in the sports world. Saturday we're on TEXAS (UT) to take down Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play |

Wisconsin -2.5 In Week 8 the (4-2, 2-4 ATS) Badgers face off against the (3-4, 1-6 ATS) Fighting Illini in a Big 10 showdown scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 ET. The battleground for this fierce clash will be Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL. Last week, the Badgers faced a setback, suffering a 15-6 loss to the Hawkeyes, while the Illini emerged victorious with a 27-24 W over the Terrapins. The Week 8 ATS betting lines have Wisconsin as the favorites with a -2.5 point spread, accompanied by moneyline odds of -133 for Wisconsin and +111 for Illinois. The over/under for the game is set at 42.5 points. Wisconsin enters this matchup hungry for revenge, especially after their previous encounter resulted in a resounding 34-10 victory for Illinois. The Badgers have to come out with a better gameplan here. We do get a nice line as they will go with their backup QB in this spot on Saturday in Illinois. The good thing here is that this Illinois side has far too many problems on both sides of the ball. The Badgers are going to lean on this run game to wear down Illinois. Combine that with their defense still being one of the best in the conference and they have a huge edge in this spot. This should be an ugly game, but a game in which is played to the Badgers liking. They love to slow the tempo down and wear the opposition out with their push up front. If they can get that going early, it's going to be a long day for the Fighting Illini. Some trends to note, Wisconsin are 5-2 SU in their L7, and are 11-2 in their L13 vs. the Illini. Illinois are 1-7 ATS in their L8, and 0-6 ATS in their L6 at home. Wisconsin maintains a series record lead of 44-39-7. Over the L10 between these two school's the Badgers own an 8-2 advantage. We're riding the Badgers on Saturday in B10 action.

Ohio State -3.5 In the upcoming week, there's a significant clash in the Big 10 as two unbeaten teams from the East Division face off. #3 Ohio State (6-0, 3-2-1 ATS) will be hosting #7 Penn State (6-0, 6-0 ATS, 3-0 Big Ten) on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET, and you can catch it on the Fox network. Let's take a look at the betting numbers: Moneyline (ML) shows Penn State at +164 and Ohio State at -200. Against the spread (ATS) favors Ohio State by -5.5 (-102), and the Over/Under (O/U) stands at 48.5. Last week, Penn State dominated the Minutemen with a score of 63-0, while the Buckeyes faced the Boilermakers, defeating them 41-7. Ohio State holds a strong historical record against Penn State, leading 23-14, with 6 consecutive wins and victory in 10 of their last 11 meetings. PSU's last win in Happy Valley dates back to 2016. We see the value lays with OSU this week! We love -3.5, we're good with -4. Ohio State has dominated this head to head series. Coming into Saturday, the Buckeyes have won 6 straight in this head to head series and 11 of the last 12 overall against Penn State. The Buckeyes will look to gain some key pieces back from injury, which includes Henderson, Williams, and Trayanum. All 3 are banged up, but when healthy they are the most dangerous trio in the backfield in the nation. The Buckeyes are just going to feed off this home crowd energy and look to set the tone early. Ohio State has been at their best when they can establish a run game, which opens things up for this passing side. This will be by far Penn State's hardest opponent to date and they're just going to have too much to overcome. Some trends to note, Penn State are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Buckeyes, and they're 0-6 SU in their last 6 games against Ohio State. On the other side the Ohio State are 16-1 SU in their last 17 games at home, and they're 12-2-1 ATS in their last 15 games played in October. PSU lost to the Buckeyes last year 44-31. We're on the Buckeyes on Saturday in this huge Big 10 matchup. Good Luck, Razor Ray. *RARE* Saturday 10* CFB Top ATS Play |

10-20-23 | SMU v. Temple OVER 53.5 | 55-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Over 53.5 Today, we've got the lowdown on Friday night's NCAA football showdown under the lights. SMU (4-2, 2-0 AAC, 3-3 ATS) are taking on Temple (2-5, 0-3 AAC, 0-6 ATS) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. Set your alarms for 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch the action on ESPN. Let's cut to the chase with the betting info: The moneyline favors SMU at -1600, while Temple is the underdog at +900. As for the spread, SMU is giving up 21 points. The Over/Under is set at 54.5 points. Now, a quick history lesson: SMU has been dominant recently, winning 47-23 in 2020 and 45-21 in 2019 in their last two meetings. Overall, Temple holds a slight edge in the series at 3-2-2. We’re the Over here as SMU and Temple clash on Friday night. This will be the only college football game on the slate here this evening and it should provide some fireworks at least. The Owls have been pitiful on the defensive end to say the least. They come in allowing over 40 points in their last 4 games. Those totals include 41, 48, 49, and 45. They are constantly letting up big plays and allowing deep passes over the top. SMU isn’t shy about throwing the ball and will come in with a gameplan to use a lot of pace on Temple. The Owls offense has been able to at least muster up a few points to keep things somewhat reasonable too. This has the makings of a game where SMU goes off, with Temple having to pick up the pace themselves to try and keep up. Weather could be a little bit of factor on Friday with some light winds, and 25% chance of rain. Temps should be in the mid 60's. A trend to note, the total has gone OVER in 5 of Temple's L5 against SMU. Back the OVER here in Phili on Friday night lights. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAA Football O/U Play |

10-19-23 | Jaguars v. Saints | 31-24 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 29 m | Show | |
Saints PK (-110) @ Circa The Saints, 3-3 this season and not doing so well at 1-4-1 ATS, aim to turn things around. They kick off Week 7 in NFL action against the Jaguars, who are 4-2, just like their 4-2 ATS. This game happens on Thursday Night Football. The action starts at 8:15 p.m. ET in the Caesars Superdome, available on Amazon Prime. In the betting world, New Orleans started as -3 favorites but is now -1 or even pick'em at some sportsbooks. The over/under is 39 points, and the money line is -157 for New Orleans and +134 for Jacksonville. We’re on the Saints here, at home. Saints had a good start with two wins but hit a rough patch, losing three of the last four, including a 20-13 loss to the Texans. On the other hand, the Jaguars are on fire, with three straight wins and a solid 37-20 home victory over the Colts. Historically, the Saints have dominated the Jags, winning 5 of the last 7, including the past 4. At home, they hold a perfect 3-0 record against Jacksonville, scoring at least 38 points in their last two. This is a fade of the Jags given the health issues they’re going through right now. Jacksonville continues to battle key injuries, one of which sits with Trevor Lawrence. He has been on another level as of late, but a sprained left knee has him not only questionable, but even if he plays not close to 100%. The Saints come in 3-3 as they have leaned on their defense thus far. We’ve seen them cause so many issues with the various blitz packages they’ve put together and have been able to force turnovers. Derek Carr has been up and down, but does come in off a game where he launched for 400 yards. He’s been much more comfortable as of late and should be able to have success against this Jags secondary. Some trends to note, the Jags are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against New Orleans, and they're 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against the Saints. The Saints are 12-4 SU in their last 16 games against an opponent in the AFC South, and they're 14-6 SU in their last 20 games played in October. My money is on the Saints defense at home showing up and being the X-factor for this matchup. Update: Lawrence is officially listed as questionable, but he was optimistic on Tuesday that he would be able to play. Beathard says Lawrence "likely" plays. WE like the Saints on Thursday night football. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NFL ATS Play |

10-19-23 | James Madison -3.5 v. Marshall | 20-9 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
James Madison -3.5 Thursday night college football in Week 8. It's the James Madison Dukes (6-0, 4-2 ATS) taking on the Marshall Thundering Herd (4-2, 2-4 ATS) at 7:00 ET in Huntington, WV's Joan C. Edwards Stadium, and you can catch it on ESPN. The current betting lines are as follows: JMU is favored by -3.5 points, the over/under is set at 49 points, and the money line shows Dukes at -175 and Thundering Herd at +146. In their history, Marshall has a 3-0 record against JMU, but they're coming off two losses while the Dukes are on the rise after a big win over Georgia Southern (41-13) while Marshall struggled against Georgia State (41-24). The last time Marshall and James Madison faced off came last year, ending in a 26-12 win for Marshall. We’re on James Madison here, laying the points. Marshall has dropped back to back games as it’s been their defense that has completely let them down. They allowed 48 points to NC State and then followed that up with 41 points against in their loss to Georgia State. The confidence is totally gone from their 4-0 start and now they have James Madison rolling into town. The Dukes are a perfect 6-0 and they’ve been dominant on both sides of the ball at times. Offensively, it’s been so tough to slow them down. They have scored over 30 points in 5 of the 6 games, which includes a 41-13 win over GA Southern last week. This is a game where two teams are going in opposite directions. The confidence level sits with James Madison and we’re backing the hotter team here. Marshall’s defense simply will not be able to slow down this offense. Game time weather is a non-factor, should be high 60's to low 70's, with a 10% chance of rain. Some trends to note, the Dukes are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and are 9-0 SU in their L9, and 4-1 in their L5 on the road. Lastly they're 6-0 SU in their L6 vs. Sun Belt teams. On the other side Marshall are 2-4 ATS in their L6. Back JM tonight on Thursday night college football. We aren't Marshall...tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 6* CFB ATS Play |

10-18-23 | New Mexico State v. UTEP +3.5 | 28-7 | Loss | -115 | 35 h 38 m | Show | |
UTEP +3.5 On Wednesday the UTEP Miners (2-5, 2-5 ATS) will play at home against the New Mexico State Aggies (4-3, 5-2 ATS) at Sun Bowl Stadium. You can catch this game on ESPN2. Here are the betting details: The over/under is 48.5, UTEP is getting +3.5 points as the underdogs, and the Aggies are favored to win with a moneyline of -165. In their recent games, the Aggies defeated Sam Houston 27-13, while UTEP secured a 27-14 victory against the FIU Panthers. We’re on UTEP here, grabbing the points at home. Utep comes in with momentum. The Miners threw for over 300 yards in the win as they finally found their offensive production they’ve been waiting for. This is a good matchup for them as they should be able to find success against this Aggies secondary. New Mexico State has been hit or miss but their offense is not overpowering by any means. They have had struggles at times and they’ll be in for a lot of issues with this Utep defense. The Miners love to blitz and will put together some different packages here to confuse them in the backfield. If you check out the way back machine you'll see the Miners have outscored NMST by 34 points in the last 2 matchups. I'm not saying UTEP wins this one outright, I'm saying they'll be in it until the final play of the game. The Aggies defense doesn't scare anyone (23PPG) so I think UTEP can gain some ground in this one. Weather won't be a factor, it'll be in the high 70's and low 80's at gametime. Some trends to note, New Mexico State are 3-17 SU in their last 20 games on the road, and are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games against UTEP. UTEP are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games when playing at home against NMST. Hammer UTEP on Wednesday night! Let's go mining! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CFB ATS Play |

10-17-23 | Western Kentucky -7.5 v. Jacksonville State | 17-20 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
WK ATS The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (4-2, 4-2 ATS, 2-0 in CUSA) and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (5-2, 4-2-1 ATS, 3-1) will face off on Tuesday at Burgess-Snow Field in Jacksonville, Alabama, in a Conf-USA game. The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be shown on ESPNU. Here are the betting details: Western Kentucky is favored by 7.5 points, the total points scored (over/under) is set at 60, and if you prefer a straight-up bet, the money line odds are Hilltoppers -306 and Jacksonville State +243. WKU has covered their L3 games. We’re on the Hilltoppers, laying the points. Looking at this matchup you may think laying points with a road team against a 5-2 side is a bad move. However, Jax State is not as good as their record indicates. 31-13 loss to Liberty last game out. They’ve lost to Coastal Carolina and Liberty, two of the best teams on their schedule. They simply weren’t able to keep up and eventually were worn down which opened a lot of gaps in the defense. Western Kentucky is a very quick striking team as well. They aren’t shy about throwing the ball and will take plenty of shots down field. The Hilltoppers are averaging 32 PPG and leading the conference in passing YPG (287) and TD's (15). We’re playing this Hilltoppers side who has won back to back games putting up more than 30 points in each of them. This matchup marks the first meeting between these teams since 2003, and WKU has the lead in their historical series, winning four out of five. We've waited long enough trying to see if this would hit -7, but we'll bite on the -7.5. Weather looks good, a non factor. Back the Hilltoppers on Tuesday night. Some trends to note, WK are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, and are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CFB ATS Play |

10-16-23 | Cowboys -1 v. Chargers | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
Cowboys -1 In NFL Week 6, the Cowboys take on the Chargers at SoFi Stadium for Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Cowboys, 3-2, had a tough loss to the 49ers last week, 42-10. The Chargers, 2-2, are on a two-game winning streak after beating the Raiders on Oct. 1, following a bye week. Dallas is a slight 1.5-point favorite in the spread, with a 51-point over/under. The Cowboys have a -126 money line, while the Chargers are at +105. Dallas has the value in this spot. The Cowboys come in with some extra time to prep as it came at the right time. They were knocked around by the 49ers last week and want to erase the blowout loss. The Cowboys will be 100% laser focused on righting the ship after that embarrassment. Dallas has been one of the best teams to come back from losses. Since 2021, the Cowboys have gone 9-1 following a loss. They typically will come out with a huge purpose and not allow things to go sideways in bunches. They also see a banged up Chargers side. Justin Herbert has a fractured middle finger on his non throwing hand. He will be playing but look for that to cause some issues for him. Dallas is explosive and should be able to find success against this Chargers secondary. We’re playing the Cowboys side who is better overall and will come out with something to prove, with a chip on their shoulder, and a lot of purpose early on. The Cowboys record on MNF is 50-38 .568 Win %., the Chargers record on MNF is 25-25 .500 Win %. As far as head to head records go, the Chargers and Cowboys have faced off 12 times. The Chargers won 5 games, while the Cowboys have won 7. The last game a 20-17 Cowboys win in 2021. Coincidentally that matchup did feature Prescott vs. Herbert. Some trends to note, Dallas are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games, and they're 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Chargers. On the other side the Chargers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games. Back the Cowboys tonight in front of a "home" crowd in LA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NFL ATS Play |

10-15-23 | Giants v. Bills UNDER 44 | 9-14 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
UNDER 44 The Giants (1-4, 0-5 ATS) and Bills (3-2, 3-2 ATS) are set to face off in an NFL Week 6 showdown on Sunday Night Football. The game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., and it will be broadcast on NBC. The NFL odds favor the Bills by 15 points, for straight up bettors the odds favor the Bills -1200, while the Giants are getting +850 odds, the total points scored over/under is set at 44. The Giants are going through a tough stretch, losing three games in a row. In Week 5, they fell to the Dolphins with a score of 31-16. Meanwhile, the Bills are coming off a trip to London where they suffered a setback, losing to the Jaguars by a score of 25-20. We’re on the under here. This is the kind of game that is going to be played at a very slow pace. Looking at the Giants perspective. They are going to want to run the clock and keep the ball out of Josh Allen’s hands. They know that they cannot keep up with this kind of offense, and every chance they get to keep the ball out of their hands is going to be a win. Offensively the Giants have struggled as a whole is season. Their issues are on both the run game and the pass game is there. They are unable to show any sort of consistency whatsoever. This is going to be one of those games that we see a lot of ugly football, and a lot of runs, each team will try to sustain long drives to control the clock. Look for scoring chances to be at a premium. Tyrod Taylor is going to have his hands full with the Bills pass rush. (21 sacks already this season) Buffalo's Knox, Kincaid, and D. Jackson are all listed as questionable for the game, while the Giants will be without Jones, and Waller and Barkley are questionable as well. The Giants O-Line is also VERY banged up. Some trends to note, Giants are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games, and they're 1-5 SU in their last 6 games. On the other side Buffalo are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games, and they're 14-3 SU in their last 17 games at home. Back the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Lions -3 Last week, the Lions beat the Panthers 42-24, and the Bucs, who had a week off, won against New Orleans 26-9 two weeks ago. In NFL week 6, it's the Lions (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS). They'll play at Raymond James Stadium at 4:25 pm ET, and you can catch it on FOX. The betting odds show the Lions as favorites with -3 points, while the Bucs are at +3. For the moneyline, Detroit is -165, and Tampa is +145. The total points expected are 44. Detroit is worth the move here. The Lion offense has been in great form as Jared Goff continues to be one of the best at making big plays. Goff comes in with 1265 yards and 9 touchdowns thus far. The biggest thing for him has been limiting turnovers. He has thrown just 3 interceptions as he continues to produce at a high rate. Goff continues to come up with big plays and his ability to sustain drives is one of the best in the NFL. Detroit ranks 4th in the NFL as they are averaging nearly 30 points per game and they continue to be one of the more consistent offenses. We're backing the hotter team and for Baker Mayfield to regress a bit here. Some trends to note coming soon, Detroit are 13-2 ATS in their last 15 games, and they're 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, plus they're 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against the Bucs. On the other side Tampa Bay are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games at home. On Sunday I'm backing the Lions as they'll get it done vs. the Bucs in Week 6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFL ATS Play |

Seahawks +3 The Seahawks are going to Ohio to play the Bengals in Week 6 this Sunday. The game is set for 1PM EDT, and it will be on CBS. The odds for the NFL match are Cincinnati -3 points on the spread, with an over/under of 44.5 points. Cincinnati is -148, while Seattle is +124. We're backing Seattle here, grabbing the points. Cincinnati has a lot of issues happening right now. Joe Burrow continues to play through a leg injury that is causing a lot of things to go wrong right now. While he has tried to step things up, this offense just isn't the same when he isn't at 100%. Seattle is going to cause a lot of issues here. They're going put together a lot of different blitz packages and try to put Burrow on edge here. This is the kind of game where they can force him into some tough situations and have him struggle early on. The Bengals win over the Cards isn't something to write home about in this spot. The Seahawks are looking healthy with the extra rest. Geno Smith is back and healthy, and Jamal Adams is returning. With the bye week, they've had extra time to prepare for Burrow and Chase. The Hawks' offense has scored 98 points in their last three games. The weather will play a role in this game, and the Seahawks have a better running game for a ground-and-pound matchup. (Walker III, and Charbonnet have looked great) Some trends to note, Seattle are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games, and they're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against AFC teams. Cincinnati are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games. Back Seattle ATS on Sunday vs. the Bengals. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NFL ATS Play |

10-15-23 | Saints v. Texans +2 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 68 h 50 m | Show | |
Texans +2 (I like +1.5 too, not as much) The Saints won big against the Patriots last week, 34-0, while the Texans lost a close one to the Falcons, 21-19. This week, it's the New Orleans Saints (3-2) vs. the Houston Texans (2-3) in NFL action for week 6. The game is set for Sunday, October 15th, 2023, at 1:00 PM (EST) at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. You can catch it on FOX. The betting odds are: Point Spread - NO -2 / HOU +2, Moneyline - NO -125 / HOU +105, and Total - 42.5. Houston is the move here. The Texans come in 2-3, but this team has been better than this record indicates. The Saints are facing a tough schedule ahead. In Week 6, they have two consecutive road games, and if we backtrack a bit, they've had road games in four out of their last five outings. Additionally, they have some key players dealing with injuries as per the NFL injury report. One standout factor for me, aside from the Texans' running game, which I believe can find success today, is QB Stroud. This guy is a solid performer. He's currently in the Top 10 for passer rating, effectively connecting with his receiving options, and distributing the ball to his playmakers, including Dell, Woods, and Collins. What's even more impressive is his ability to protect the football, having thrown 7 TD's with ZERO INT's (He has 1461 yds passing too). Stroud is playing with a lot of confidence right now. I really like his ability to make the big play, he looks like a bonafide NFL starting QB, and that has been crucial here in 2023. Stroud and Niko Collins have been a solid connection and they should be able to find a lot of success come Sunday. The Saints defense has had a lot of issues at times and an early big play can change a lot here. Look for Houston to have their chances to steal this outright. Theyve scored 30+ points in their two wins thus far. New Orleans ranks near the bottom in a lot of offensive categories and they will struggle to put up points here. Some trends to note, New Orleans are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Houston are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, and they're 6-3 ATS in their L9 Sunday games. Back Houston ATS on Sunday vs. Nawlins.

10-14-23 | UCLA v. Oregon State UNDER 54.5 | 24-36 | Loss | -115 | 51 h 45 m | Show | |
UNDER 54.5 An exciting matchup this Saturday at 8:00PM ET. The action unfolds at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon, and you can catch it on FOX. In this showdown, the #15 Oregon State Beavers, boasting a 5-1 (4-2 ATS) record, will face off against the #18 UCLA Bruins, who come in at 4-1 (3-2 ATS). The Beavers are the favorites by 3.5 points, and the total score expected is 54 points. For those who like straight-up bets, Oregon State sits at -184 on the moneyline, while UCLA is at +155. In their recent games, the Beavers triumphed over the California Golden Bears with a final score of 52-40, while the Bruins secured a 25-17 victory against the Washington State Cougars. We’re going with the Under here in UCLA/Oregon State. UCLA is one of the best on the defensive side of the ball in the entire nation. They have cashed the Under in every game this season and they’ve relied heavily on this defense at times. They have been so good at getting off the field on third downs and not allowing the big play. The other side of things on their under brigade has been thanks to the lackluster offense. With Freshman QB Dante Moore still working into the system, this Bruins team is far less dangerous than they were last year with DTR. This is an offense that doesn’t have much on the big play making side and they won’t even take many shots down field. Oregon State’s defense is up for the task as well. They haven’t allowed over 10 points in any of the three home games they’ve played this season. This is going to be a defensive battle under the lights, with scoring chances coming at a premium. A couple trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of UCLA's last 5 games, we've also seen the UNDER hit in 6 of OST's last 8 games against UCLA. Back the UNDER 54.5. The total is too high for me! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CFB O/U Play |

10-14-23 | USC v. Notre Dame UNDER 60.5 | 20-48 | Loss | -115 | 49 h 52 m | Show | |
Under 60.5 #21 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-2, 4-2-1 ATS) take on the #10 USC Trojans (6-0, 2-4 ATS). ND with a 5-2 record, is coming off a 33-20 loss against #25 Louisville. On the flip side, USC is all pumped up after their thrilling triple-overtime victory over Arizona, winning 43-41 Saturday. This Saturday will mark the 94th clash between these teams, with the Irish leading the series 50-38-5. Last season, USC claimed victory 38-27 in LA. The betting odds indicate that Notre Dame is favored by 2.5 points, with the over/under set at 63.5, and the moneyline showing Notre Dame at -135 and USC at +110. We’re on the Under in ND vs USC as the Fighting Irish look to rebound from an awful game last week in Louisville. The Fighting Irish looked awful offensively as it has not been good for Hartman at times here. They are very bland with the calls and there hasn’t been much down field. That benefits us, as well as the fact they know they can’t get into a track meet. Notre Dame is not going to play fast with the ball in their hands. They will slow the tempo down and do just about everything to keep it away from Caleb Williams. This will result in a lot of drawn out drives and take USC off their game. The pace will not be up to their standards and this Fighting Irish defense is eager to get back out there. Notre Dame has seen their defense make a lot of good plays, but last week it was all for not. Doesn't ND look like a really tired team? They do to me. Thhs is a rebound game for them. Look for a very slow developing game and for USC to be frustrated all around. That plays right into this Under for us. You're not going to find any recent trends to support this play like we normally dig up. This is purely a "gut shot". The public is on the OVER. We're going the other way. The total is TOO DAMN HIGH! We're backing the UNDER Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 6* CFB O/U Play |

10* TOP PLAY UW -3 In Seattle this week, there's a big showdown in college football. Undefeated #8 Oregon (5-0, 5-0 ATS) faces off against #7 Washington (5-0, 3-2 ATS) for the top spot in the Pac 12. It's the nation's top offense against the second-best – a real headline-maker. The game kicks off on Saturday, October 14th, at 12:30 PM PT, airing on ABC. The odds have Washington favored by 3 points with a total score prediction of 67.5. Washington is at -142 on the money line, while Oregon is at +130. We’re on Washington here, laying the number at home. This is going to be the kind of game that features a lot of fireworks. Both offenses are explosive and they love to work with pace. Washington is being a little undervalued here too. They rank first in the FBS in total offense at 569 yards and they can score in bunches. They also get a huge boost this week returning from injury. McMillan will be out wide for Penix, after missing 3 games with an undisclosed injury. He’s been practicing all week and makes such a difference in this receiving core. The Huskies have stepped up on defense at times, which included last week against Arizona. They have forced turnovers and been able to hold firm in the red zone. Look for them to put together a lot of different coverages and blitzes, doing whatever they can to confuse this Oregon offense. This Pac 12 showdown is a big deal, one of the most significant in years. What's even crazier is that next year, it becomes a BIG 10 game. Strange, right? Some trends to note, UW are 10-0 SU in their L10, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games, and lastly they're 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home. Back the DAWGS on Saturday vs. the 1-state-over rival.

10-14-23 | BYU +6 v. TCU | 11-44 | Loss | -109 | 46 h 17 m | Show | |
BYU +6 We've got a good game lined up with the BYU Cougars (4-1, 1-1) facing off against the TCU Horned Frogs (3-3, 1-2). Saturday at 3:30pm ET, Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, TX, and you can catch it on ESPN. Last week, BYU had a bye week, while TCU took a hit with a 27-14 loss to Iowa State. In the history books, TCU leads the series 6-5, and the last time they met in 2011, TCU came out on top with a 38-28 score. Now, for the betting scoop: BYU is the underdog by 6 points, and the total points for the game are set at 52.5. If you're looking at the moneyline, TCU is -223, and BYU is +182. BYU has the value with the points in this spot. The Cougars take on a TCU team that has not looked like the runners up from last season. They are 3-3 on the year and they have looked bad on the offensive side. They have scored a combined 35 points over the last two weeks and now they will be without their starting QB moving forward. Freshman Josh Hoover will make his first college start and takes on a defense that isn’t shy to put together blitz packages. BYU also comes in off a bye week which will be extremely beneficial. The bye week was used to help get this Cougars side healthy and will provide them with a huge spark. This is the kind of game they can frustrate the Horned Frogs. Given the struggles TCU has had and the situation they’re in QB wise, an early BYU lead can start to put some doubt into the Horned Frogs. They will have to be conservative with their play-calling as well, which should give BYU a nice edge. Look for BYU to control the clock and have this TCU team on their heels. Some trends to note, BYU are 8-1 in their L9 SU. Plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. TCU. TCU are 2-5 in their L7 ATS. We're on the Cougars on Saturday to keep things close against TCU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play |

Utah -10.5 The Cal Golden Bears (3-3, 2-4 ATS, 1-2 Pac12) aim for their second road victory of the season against the Utah Utes (4-1, 2-2-1 ATS, 1-1 Pac-12) this Saturday afternoon. The game kicks off at 3:00PM ET and airs on the Pac-12 Network. This showdown takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Now, let's check out the odds. The Utes are the favorites with a spread of -11.5 points, and their moneyline stands at -455. On the other side, the Golden Bears hold a moneyline of +350. The total points for this game are set at 45. Utah brings in an impressive home winning streak against unranked teams. That is one thing Utah has done so well in the recent years. They’ve beaten the teams they’re supposed to beat and they do it in style. They have won 26 straight here against unranked opponents and they are a few steps above this Cal side. Digging deeper into that stat, they are 15-0 since 2021 and 13 of those have been by double digits. Cal will look to establish a run game, but that won’t work against Utah. The Utes are one of the best in the conference at stopping the run, especially at home. They will stack the box on this Cal side, daring them to throw the ball. Look for Utah to dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, which should produce defensive turnovers and give them some short fields to work with. Cal simply does not have the firepower should they fall behind here. This is a nice spot to back Utah in a game they should handle comfortably. Cal won't be able to keep up, and I think they win by 14+. Some trends to note, CAL are 1-4 in their L5 SU, they're also 4-10 SU in their L14. On the other side, Utah are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games. They're also an insane 17-0 SU in their last 17 games at home, plus they're 15-3 SU in their last 18 games against an opponent in the Pac-12. I'm backing the UTES on Saturday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play |
