12-06-17	IUPU Ft Wayne v. Akron +1		79-83	Win	100	10 h 29 m	Show
Akron +1 The Zips catching any sort of points at home is very rare. Akron comes into this one on Wednesday a perfect 3-0 at home and 2-1 ATS in that span. home play has always been a huge edge for the Zips, especially in the past years. This group has built home winning streaks that have reached top levels in the nation. Along with that, this team has built themselves this year with depth. It starts with Daniel Utomi, who leads the team with both 22.0 points per game and in rebounds with 7.8. His lowest point total this year has been 15 and he's also tallied a double-double to his credit. In this matchup, the Zips should really be able to pick on the defense of IPFW. They are giving up 72.3 points per game this season and have really struggled to slow teams down in transition. Some trends to note. Mastodons are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Mastodons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Akron is in a nice spot here. Back Akron. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play
12-05-17	Ball State v. Notre Dame -17.5		80-77	Loss	-110	19 h 47 m	Show
Notre Dame -17.5 The Fighting Irish are a move here laying the points. Notre Dame is just far more physical and too quick for Ball State to keep up with. The Fighting Irish are a solid 3-1 ATS so far this season and as a team they're putting in 80.1 points per game. Where this team has found success so far this season has been on the defensive end. Notre Dame ranks 22nd in the nation in total defense, allowing just 61.9 points per contest. The Fighting Irish really clamp down as they don't allow anything at the rim and are one of the best at closing out on shooters. The opposition is shooting just 38.7%, which ranks in the top tier in the nation. Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Fighting Irish are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games. Notre Dame should be able to pull away in this one early. Back Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-05-17	Virginia +5.5 v. West Virginia		61-68	Loss	-105	10 h 3 m	Show
Virginia +5.5 The Virginia Cavs have been amazing so far this year. Tony Bennett's team looks better than they did a year ago. They are more committed on the defensive end, and they are taking care of the ball better. That's the most important part of this handicap. West Virginia isn't very efficient in the halfcourt. Bob Huggins' team relies on turning teams over and getting out in transition. I don't think they'll be able to do that much against the Cavs. Virginia is a rare team who can impose their will when it comes to tempo. West Virginia isn't going to be able to get them running. That places an emphasis on how the teams perform in the halfcourt, and that's where Virginia is better. The Cavs have a selection of good shooters to get the ball to, and West Virginia really doesn't have many outside shooting options. Grab the points in what should be a tight game. Take Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-04-17	Appalachian State -3 v. Western Carolina		71-72	Loss	-110	11 h 32 m	Show
Appalachian State -3 App State lays a small number here and has value against WCU on Monday night. The Mountaineers offensive firepower is really the difference maker here. App State has averaged 82.0 points per game this season and its comes from two top players with the rest of the team contributing. Ronshad Shabazz and Justin Forrest sit at the top for this Mountaineers team, as the duo has averaged 22.0 and 17.1 points per game respectively. What makes this team so good is how well top to bottom this team is rounded out. Everybody is contributing in some way whether it be points per game, rebounds, per game, or assists per game. Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Western Carolina. Mountaineers are 15-7 ATS in the last 22 meetings. Appalachian State should be able to really run on Western Carolina here, really pushing the issue at a pace they can't keep up at. Back Appalachian State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-02-17	St. Mary's -7.5 v. California		74-63	Win	100	12 h 15 m	Show
St. Mary’s -7.5 The Gaels lay a nice number here on Saturday night against a team they have a huge advantage against. Cal is just 3-4 on the season and has built up some bad losses on their resume so far. California is giving up 77 points per game, which is a huge reason for their struggles. This is a matchup where the ability to create open shots will work in St. Mary’s favor big time as Cal’s defense doesn’t have good close out speed. The Gaels are one of those teams who simply can push the issue and really pick the tempo up to keep opponents off balanced. Here on Saturday, California won’t be able to slow this transition offense down. St. Mary’s is 11-4 in their last 15 against the PAC-12. This one has value to work with. Back St. Mary’s ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-01-17	Illinois v. Northwestern -6.5		68-72	Loss	-113	12 h 1 m	Show
Northwestern -6.5 The Illinois Fighting Illini have played an extremely weak schedule so far this year. Illinois lost last game against Wake Forest, and that was really the only decent team they have played this season. I like Brad Underwood and he should do well in Illinois in the long term, but he has a lot of youth on this Illinois team. Northwestern has been busy playing difficult opponents. The Wildcats started the year a bit overvalued because of their run last March, but now that they have disappointed some in the early going, I think the value is backing them here. This is still a veteran team that knows how to win. Illinois isn't likely to be able to force many turnovers against this strong Northwestern backcourt, and that's a key way Illinois has won games so far this year. Look for the Wildcats to take care of the ball and win comfortably. Back Northwestern. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday CBB 9* ATS Play
11-30-17	Missouri -2.5 v. UCF		62-59	Win	100	12 h 25 m	Show
Missouri -2.5 Missouri comes in with some solid momentum here and has value laying a small number. The Tigers had a very nice showing in the AdvoCare Invitational, making to the final and nearly knocking off the Mountaineers to capture a title. Missouri is a deep team, as a lot of different players have stepped up here in the early going. They have 4 players averaging double digits, with 6 scoring nearly 7 points per contest. The Tigers really move the ball around well and have been able to really create some easy looks for themselves at the basket. UCF has dropped back to back games and they are really struggling on the offensive end. They don't have that go to player that can spark this offense right now, which causes a huge mismatch here. Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. This number makes a lot of sense. Back Missouri. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-29-17	Belmont v. TCU -12.5		76-87	Loss	-110	13 h 41 m	Show
TCU -12.5 The Horned Frogs have opened the season a perfect 6-0 and take on a Belmont team that comes in on a real low right now. TCU has actually won 11 in a row dating back to last season, where they swept through the NIT. This team is playing with a confidence right now and they have built a team to really compete not just in the Big 12, but also compete for a National Championship. Look for senior Forward Vladimir Brodziansky to really assert his presence here. He leads the team with 14.7 points per game and is shooting 66% from the field so far this season. He should have his way with this Belmont team, that comes in off a horrible home loss to Lipscomb on Monday night. Belmont's defense, that gives up 73.4 points per game, is certainly going to be overwhelmed here with the length and depth of TCU. Some trends to note. Horned Frogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Horned Frogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win. This is a nice spot to expect a very lopsided game. Back TCU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-27-17	Wisconsin v. Virginia -8		37-49	Win	100	13 h 55 m	Show
Virginia -8 The Cavaliers take on Wisconsin in the Big Ten/ACC challenge and it's Virginia with value here in this one. The Cavaliers have started the season off a perfect 6-0 and they're blowing a lot of opponents out. They are averaged a score of 73.3- 52.3 thus far and they are beating opponents with the pace of play. Virginia likes to slow things down tremendously and really take the air out of the ball. They're able to frustrate the opposition and really take them out of their elements. Virginia's Kyle Guy has been the biggest contributor as he's averaging 15.8 points per game and has hit 14 of his 29 3 point field goals attempted. Look for him to really find some openings here behind the arc as this Wisconsin team has struggled to close out on shooters. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Virginia should really be able to do what they want here on Monday. Back Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-25-17	Akron +8 v. Dayton		60-73	Loss	-110	16 h 10 m	Show
Akron +8 The Zips grab too many points in this spot against the Flyers on Saturday. Dayton simply hasn't played well enough to lay this many points to a team that has a legit shot at beating them outright. Dayton comes into this one just 2-2 on the season and 1-3 ATS. If things haven't been hard enough on them to start the season, the Zips defense is going to cause them even more issues. Akron has allowed only 58.0 points per game so far and they've allowed the opposition to shoot just 23.1% from behind the arc. Defensively for Dayton, they've been a struggle so far. They're giving up 72.2 points per game and they've seen the opposition hit from 35% clip from behind the arc. They struggle to close out on shooters as open shots have killed this team. Some trends to note. Zips are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Zips are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games. This is just too many points here. Back Akron. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-23-17	Arkansas +1 v. Oklahoma		92-83	Win	100	15 h 11 m	Show
Arkansas +1 The Arkansas Razorbacks are going to be improved this year. Mike Anderson's team is well equipped to run his 40 minutes of hell defense. They are very deep in the backcourt. They'll pressure more this year, and they'll force turnovers and score off those run out chances. Oklahoma has a lot of talent, but there is a lot of youth on the Sooners team. Oklahoma is one of those teams that is likely to be hurt by the Arkansas defensive pressure. The Sooners aren't very good on defense so far this year either, and Arkansas is likely to get easier chances than Oklahoma in this one. Oklahoma does like to run, but that plays right into the strength of the Arkansas team. I think they have more veteran leadership and guys who know the system really well. Look for Arkansas to get the win here. Take Arkansas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-22-17	Belmont v. Providence -9.5		65-66	Loss	-105	11 h 16 m	Show
Providence -9.5 The Friars have value here on Wednesday night laying the point against Belmont. Providence comes in after winning the 2K Tournament as they took down St. Louis on Friday night. The Friars showed how deep this team is as Rodney Bullock put in 15 points and got 11 points each from Alpha Diallo, Makai Ashton-Langford and Maliek White. There are a lot of different players that can step up on this team, which makes them so good.. Providence has also shot at a ridiculous rate from behind the arc. The Friars shot 90 percent from 3 against St. Louis on Friday and as a team they're shooting 31-of-57 from 3 point range. Some trends to note. Friars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games.Friars are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win. This is a nice number on Providence. With how well they're shooting right now, this team can turn any game into a blow out. Back Providence. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-21-17	Niagara v. BYU -12		88-95	Loss	-115	12 h 25 m	Show
BYU -12 The BYU Cougars aren't likely to be in a good mood after getting beaten badly at home by UT Arlington last game. The Cougars were never really in that one. This is a BYU team that rarely loses games at home. I expect a bounce back effort here. Niagara has been traveling all over the country of late. They went to Minnesota and then to UMass. Now, they go all the way out west to play BYU. This isn't a good spot for them at all. Niagara pulled off the upset on St. Bonaventure in game one, but they lost by 26 to Minnesota and by 25 to a UMass team that isn't that great. BYU has a great home court advantage. They have the coaching edge here as well. Niagara has to be worn out from all the travel. This is as a spot where BYU can run away with an easy win. Take BYU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-20-17	Creighton v. UCLA +3.5		100-89	Loss	-101	8 h 8 m	Show
UCLA +2 The Bruins catch 2 points here on Monday and have value against Creighton. UCLA sits at number 18 in the country and they're finally starting to look like the team they have been expected to be this season. The Bruins had some off the court issues happen in China during their visit and while they will be without some key players going forward, there is still plenty of talent and depth with this team. The Bruins put up 96 points in a win over South Carolina State last time out and while the opponent obviously isn't maybe the most quality of one, it was nice to see UCLA put together a complete performance. Jaylen Hands and Kris Wilkes have both stepped into their roles and have done a fantastic job. The duo is averaging 32.6 points and 12 rebounds per game and here they should find plenty of success against a Creighton team that is allowing nearly 80 points per game. Some trends to note. Bluejays are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.Bluejays are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Getting points with this UCLA is always going to be valuable. They have found some key players to step up and have a lot of value here. Back UCLA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-17-17	Georgia State v. Ole Miss -10.5		72-77	Loss	-110	10 h 52 m	Show
Ole Miss -10.5 The Rebels are worth a nice move here on Friday night as they have a strong mis match in this spot. Georgia State comes in 2-0, but wins over a non Division I school and lowly Rice have not been that impressive. In their win over Rice, we saw a much balanced attack from Georgia State, as this team is simply slow to move with the ball. That is not something that will bode well here against the Rebels. Ole Miss has put up 95 and 84 points in their pair of wins, as pace of play is very big with them. The Rebels like to get up and down the floor quickly, which is going to cause Georgia State tons of issues given how slow they like to play Some trends to note. Mississippi is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games and are 4-1 SU in its last 5 games. The total has gone OVER in 4 of Mississippi's last 5 games. This is simply going to be too much for Georgia State here. They don’t have the explosiveness or playmakers to really keep up with Ole Miss and their abilities to attack quickly. Back Ole Miss. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-17-17	Virginia -8 v. VCU		76-67	Win	100	6 h 21 m	Show
Virginia -8 The Cavaliers have value here on Friday. Virginia’s defense is going to be the biggest key here. The Cavaliers play at such a slow tempo and that has always played into their advantage. Virginia takes the air out of the ball and takes opponents out of their element. They’ve given up just 48.5 points per game this season and what makes this team so special is that they will stay in that area all season long. De’Andre Hunter and Jay Huff stepped up in a big way last time out and as the freshmen are going to be asked to do a lot this season. Some trends to note. VCU is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Virginia and are 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing Virginia. This is going to be a game where VCU really gets taken out of their element. Look for them to be frustrated all night long. Back Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-16-17	Hofstra +1.5 v. Dayton		72-69	Win	100	19 h 43 m	Show
Hofstra +1.5 Hofstra has the advantage here over Dayton on Thursday night on this neutral site. Dayton is in a bit of a rebuilding year as they come into this season with a lot of gaps to fill. They got all they could handle from Ball State in their season opener and it was quite the struggle from start to finish, especially on the defensive end. Dayton allowed Ball State to shoot 46% from the field, as they struggled to close out on shooters. Hofstra should be able to take advantage of that space on the defensive end. They come in 2-0 and they really have leaned on their ability to just the opposite that Dayton did. Through the first two games, opponents are shooting just 23.8% from behind the arc. Dayton is going to be very underwhelming this season. Look for Hofstra to really cause a lot of issues on both ends for the Flyers. Back Hofstra. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-15-17	Creighton +4 v. Northwestern		92-88	Win	100	13 h 4 m	Show
Creighton +4 The Northwestern Wildcats are definitely a good team, but they are a good team that typically has trouble putting away other good teams. Northwestern plays a bunch of very close games. That makes this many points very valuable. Creighton has a star in Marcus Foster, and he'll be the most talented player on the floor. Creighton is healthy now after struggling with injuries for much of last year. This Blue Jays team is flying under the radar, but they should be a quality team this season. Because Northwestern was a darling in March last year, they are going to get too much public love early this season. The Wildcats are a great story and everyone wants to back a team like this, but they aren't quite as good at this point as this number would suggest. Grab the points and expect a tight game throughout. Take Creighton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-14-17	Denver v. Colorado -10		62-89	Win	100	11 h 27 m	Show
Colorado -10 Colorado is in a good matchup here against Denver on Tuesday. Denver comes in off a horrible home loss as a decent sized favorite in their opener. Denver found themselves with just 25 points at the break against a UCI defense that is very sub par to say the least. This is a team that doesn't have much firepower behind them offensively, nor do they play much of any defense. Colorado is going to cause Denver so many issues on the defensive end. The Buffs allowed just 51 points in their season opener and and they are swarming. This defense is expecting to be one of the best in the conference, as they don't let teams get open looks. This is just a clear mismatch here. Colorado is a far more aggressive and talented team that should be able to pick apart Denver on both sides of the floor. Back Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-14-17	Cleveland State v. Rutgers -11.5		38-70	Win	100	10 h 57 m	Show
Rutgers -11.5 The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are just too powerful for the Vikings to keep up with. Rutgers comes in 2-0 and while the opponents they played weren't much of anything, this team still has a talented core that could actually cause some fits for teams this season. DeShawn Freeman is one of those guys who is going to make a huge impact on this team and give the Vikings a handful tonight. He's averaged 13.5 points per game through the first 2 games this season and leads the team with a 61.1% shooting percentage. He's got the ability to attack the rim, which Cleveland State won't have any answer for. Rutgers also really is lock down on the defensive end. The Scarlet Knights allowed just 52 points on average through the first two wins and they are going to be able to really give the Vikings a handful when it comes to suffocating shooters and not allowing anything in the paint. Look for that to be a huge key here as Rutgers can turn defense into offense. This is a nice spot on Rutgers. They are a much more physical and threatening team, which should allow them to run away with this one eventually. Back Rutgers. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-13-17	Vanderbilt v. Belmont +4		60-69	Win	100	12 h 43 m	Show
Belmont +4 Belmont catches a nice number here on Monday and is worth a move in this spot. Belmont dropped their season opener against Washington, but there is a lot to take away from that. They gave the Huskies all they could handle from the Huskies all they could handle. Take note, that the Huskies are going to be a solid team this year as well. Given that, a 4 point loss is not a bad start by any means for Belmont. The Bruins showed they will certainly have an inside presence as Dylan Windler was dominant on the glass. Belmont also has the ability to get out and run. They like to move the ball quickly in transition, something they should be able to use to their advantage against Vanderbilt in this spot. Belmont has always messed with some of the better teams in the NCAA. They never shy away and and are aggressive. Look for them to really give this Vanderbilt team fits. Back Belmont. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-12-17	Eastern Washington v. Washington -9.5		69-79	Win	100	10 h 30 m	Show
Washington -9.5 Laying the points here is a nice move with Washington on Sunday night. This Washington offense is going to be extremely good and this is a case where Eastern Washington likely can't keep up. The Huskies put up 86 in their season opening win over Belmont and there are just so many weapons on this team. Jaylen Nowell put up 32.0, as he will give Eastern Washington a lot to handle. This Huskies team has such a huge inside presence as well. Washington was in full attack mode against Belmont in the season opener and they should look to do the same here. Eastern Washington is simply not physical enough to keep the Huskies from doing what they want in the paint. This one should be in huge favor of Washington. Their speed and inside presence are going to cause a lot of issues for the Eagles here. Back Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play
11-11-17	Kent State -5.5 v. Youngstown State		111-78	Win	100	12 h 18 m	Show
Kent State -5.5 The Golden Flashes return a solid portion of their team, as well as added a few key parts here in 2017. The defending MAC champs will give Youngstown a lot of headaches with the guard play from Jalen Avery and Jaylin Walker. Walker in particular is the biggest piece to the puzzle for Kent State, as he is not shy about hoisting from anywhere on the court. He played such a crucial role in the Golden Flashes MAC Championship run last season as he averaged 15.8 points per game to go along with 39.5 percent shooting from the floor. With Jimmy Hall moved on, Walker is now the go to guy on the court and should flourish in this new role. Youngstown State doesn't have many weapons to keep up here. This team has always struggled when it comes to scoring threats and in this case on Saturday, they simply do not have enough. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
11-10-17	Ball State +6 v. Dayton		77-78	Win	100	10 h 5 m	Show
Ball State +6 The Dayton Flyers have a whole new look this year. This is a team that should be pretty good by the end of the year, but they will have growing pains. Dayton doesn't have a whole lot of guys who are pure scorers, and Ball State is a team full of guys who can score. Ball State is the veteran team here, and veteran teams catching a solid amount of points in the early going are good looks. Ball State has a lot of good long range shooters, and I think they'll stay in this game with their scoring options from the outside. Dayton no longer has Archie Miller and that hurts quite a bit. I considered Miller one of the best coaches in the country. The Flyers are searching for an identity right now. Take the dog in this one. Take Ball State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play
04-03-17	North Carolina v. Gonzaga +1.5		71-65	Loss	-102	21 h 50 m	Show
Gonzaga +1.5 The Bulldogs and Tar Heels battle in the NCAA Championship and the Bulldogs here have some value. All season long people complained about Gonzaga playing in a weak conference. They complained about the schedule they had being horrible. Not too many people gave them a chance entering the tournament. However, they've quieted all the doubters and are now in a spot where they can overcome a lot of obstacles and capture a National Championship. They matchup up very well with this UNC team. Gonzaga has plenty of length in their big men, which is a huge key here. The Tar Heels have dominated the paint all tourney long. However, this is by far the best inside presence in Gonzaga that they will have faced all tournament long. Look for the Bulldogs to really cause fits on the defensive end, not allowing anything easy at the rim. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss. Bulldogs are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 Monday games. Make a move here with Gonzaga. They've been proving people wrong all season and with how well they're playing right now, they have all the confidence in the world. Back Gonzaga ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 6* NCAAB ATS Play
03-26-17	Kentucky +2.5 v. North Carolina		73-75	Win	100	15 h 38 m	Show
Kentucky +2.5 Kentucky and UNC in the Elite 8. Here, it's the Wildcats that have value. Kentucky showed off exactly what they have when they took down UCLA in the Sweet 16. The Wildcats showed they have plenty of offensive power, along with some really lock down defense. The Wildcats defeated North Carolina way back in December and while that game really holds no impact here, it at least showed what Kentucky has to offer. Kentucky has to control the pace here. North Carolina likes to run and they proved that against Butler. While Kentucky isn't a slow team, they certainly need to control the pace and not allow it to pick up to a high degree. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wildcats are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 Sunday games. Kentucky is up for this challenge. Look for them to really step things up defensively here, which gives them value grabbing points. Back Kentucky ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
03-24-17	Wisconsin +2 v. Florida		83-84	Win	100	20 h 6 m	Show
Wisconsin +2 The Wisconsin Badgers have a ton of potential. This was a team that many had in their preseason top ten. The Badgers were really inconsistent throughout the course of the regular season, but Wisconsin knocked off Villanova with an epic performance last weekend. Wisconsin is always going to play their style of basketball, and they won't let anyone force them out of it. The Badgers will take care of the basketball and play good defense. Expect more of the same here. Florida is without their best big man in Egubunu. The Gators have played great in the NCAA Tournament thus far, but I think their win last weekend was more about Virginia being bad than them being good. Florida hasn't been in this situation before with these players. This team was in the NIT last year. Wisconsin has a team of guys who have virtually all been in this situation. Betting trends of note, Gators are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game, are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and Wisconsin is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games. I'll take the points with the veteran team peaking at the right time of the year. Take Wisconsin. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play
03-24-17	UCLA v. Kentucky +1	Top	75-86	Win	100	20 h 40 m	Show
Kentucky +1 The Kentucky Wildcats will have Big Blue Nation supporting them in a big way in Memphis on Friday night. UCLA is going to be playing what is essentially a road game environment here. UCLA is certainly a very good team. The Bruins have tremendous weapons on offense, and Lonzo Ball is as good as advertised. Still, the Bruins aren't very good on defense. Sooner or later that should stop them in this NCAA Tournament. I think it is here. Consistently, teams that win the NCAA Tournament or go to the Final Four are top 20 defenses, and UCLA doesn't even rank in the top 75 in defensive efficiency. UCLA went to Kentucky and beat them earlier this year. The Bruins shot lights out in that one and Kentucky ran with them all game. This game will be played quickly, but I think Kentucky does a better job getting back in this game and forces UCLA to play in the halfcourt more often. They are good, but not great, in the halfcourt sets. Kentucky's defense ranks in the top ten in the country. Look for the Wildcats to be fully engaged on defense here, and I think they get their revenge in front of a Kentucky-friendly crowd. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-23-17	Michigan -1 v. Oregon		68-69	Loss	-115	10 h 32 m	Show
Michigan -1 The Michigan Wolverines are peaking at the right time. This Michigan coaching staff is an underrated group. Michigan runs a terrific offense. They almost never turn the ball over, and they have shooters all over the floor. How good has Michigan's offense been of late? Most teams score about 1.04 or 1.05 points per possession on average. Michigan put up an insane 1.40 points per possession against Oklahoma State in their first game. The Wolverines then put up 1.18 points per possession against a top five Louisville defense in their next game. The emergence of Wagner on the inside creates problems for Oregon. Michigan has always had shooters at the wings and the guard spots. Now that they have some stretch players at the big spots that are reliable, it will be very hard to guard them. Oregon is fortunate to be here. The Ducks were outplayed for a large majority of the game by Rhode Island, and it took some Tyler Dorsey heroics to get them to this game. A betting trend of note, Michigan is 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 NCAA Tournament games. Michigan is in fine form and I think they move on to the Elite Eight. Take Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-21-17	Georgia Tech +5.5 v. Ole Miss		74-66	Win	100	19 h 4 m	Show
Georgia Tech +5.5 The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have been playing great defense all year. Josh Pastner has done a great job getting this team to buy into his system. Georgia Tech was expected to finish dead last in the ACC. Instead, they knocked off some really good teams and have won two contests in the NIT. How did the Yellow Jackets get to this point in the NIT? Georgia Tech held Indiana to a really bad shooting night and 63 points in a win. They then held a good Belmont offense to 33.3% shooting from the floor in a blowout win at home. Ole Miss is coming off a couple nice performances on the road, but they haven't been a good team laying points so far this year. The Rebels have played in a bunch of close games, and I think this will be another close one. Ole Miss ranks 90th in the nation in defensive efficiency. Georgia Tech ranks sixth. If I can get that big of a defensive advantage and that many points, I'm grabbing the points. Georgia Tech is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as an underdog. Take Georgia Tech. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-20-17	Akron v. Texas-Arlington -5		69-85	Win	100	9 h 25 m	Show
UT Arlington -5 In the past, home favorites have done really well in the second round of the NIT, CBI, and CIT Tournaments. It seems that home court advantage is magnified in these smaller postseason tournaments. UT Arlington gets to host this game against a relatively big name opponent in Akron. This game will be on ESPN2 as well, which means this UT Arlington team gets a very rare chance to play in front of a television audience. The team definitely covets a chance to look good to a national audience. It's a chance for the program to build for the future and attract recruits. Akron just upset Houston on the road last game. The Zips are likely satisfied with winning over a big name school on the road, and I think they are likely less pumped up about going to play UT Arlington. Betting trends of note, the Zips are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win, and the Mavericks are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.. Akron has been wildly inconsistent this year. I'll fade them in this spot. Take UT Arlington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play
03-19-17	Cincinnati v. UCLA -3.5		67-79	Win	100	27 h 59 m	Show
UCLA -4.5 The Bruins clash with Cincinnati in the Round of 32 and UCLA minus the points is a nice move. Ucla look extremely impressive against Kent in the opening round as they showed off how good their offense is. The Bruins dominated the pace of play and they'll do that here against Cinci. The Bearcats play extremely slow and that just doesn't matchup well here with the Bruins. Look for UCLA to really push the tempo and use their 3 point shooting here. Some trends to note. Bruins are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 neutral site games as a favorite. Bearcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5. Bruins are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. Expect the Bruins to dictate this one. Speed is going to dominate this game and with how the Bearcats slow things down, it's just not a good matchup for them. Back UCLA ATS. Good luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
03-19-17	Rhode Island v. Oregon -5		72-75	Loss	-115	16 h 12 m	Show
Oregon -5 The Oregon Ducks aren't getting enough respect here. Oregon was a really good team all year long, and they are playing in what will be a very-friendly arena with their fan support. Rhode Island is playing a really long way away from home, and the Rams do have some clear flaws. The Rams are a great story, and I like the way Rhode Island plays, but they don't come close to matching Oregon's overall team balance. Rhode Island is very good on the defensive end, but the Rams haven't been good this year on offense. They don't shoot it well enough from long range, and they settle for too many jumpers. The Ducks have the best player on the floor in Dillon Brooks, and it really isn't even close. Brooks has gotten much better at the end of the season after a slow start due to some injury problems. The Ducks are slightly better on defense, and they are much better on offense than Rhode Island. This is a rare game where quite a bit of the betting public likes the underdog. That's a good reason to lay the points with the favorite. Take Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play
03-18-17	Middle Tennessee v. Butler -3.5		65-74	Win	100	9 h 33 m	Show
Butler -3.5 The Bulldogs have value laying this low of a spread here.Butler absolutely dominated Winthrop in the opening round and carry a ton of momentum into here. Butler is one of the best 3 Point teams in the nation as they move the ball around so well, to get themselves some open looks. Look for Butler here to dictate the pace here and really fluster this MTSU team and control the clock, something they Blue Raiders stents used to. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite and are 21-5-2 ATS in their last 28 NCAA Tournament games. This is a nice number for the Bulldogs. Laying this low of a spread for a team that has been playing exceptionally well and that matches up well here has nice value. Back Butler ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
03-17-17	Kansas State +3.5 v. Cincinnati		61-75	Loss	-110	41 h 53 m	Show
Kansas State +3.5 The Kansas State Wildcats have played really well at the end of the season, and when it comes to March Madness, how you are playing of late matters a great deal. Kansas State played a really difficult schedule in the Big 12 this year. The Big 12 was probably the deepest conference in the country. The Wildcats won Tuesday night in Dayton over Wake Forest thanks to some tremendous offense. They are also capable of winning with defense though, and they rank in the top 35 in the country in defense. Cincinnati plays in a weak American Athletic Conference. UConn was way down this year, and the only other good team in this conference was SMU. The Mustangs of SMU just beat down Cincinnati in the AAC Tournament finale. The Bearcats offense settles for too many bad shots. This team isn't full of good jump shooters, and yet they still settle for 3's consistently. Cincinnati plays a style of basketball that lends itself to a lot of close games. A couple trends of note that are important here. Cincinnati is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games. The Bearcats are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Kansas State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* March Madness ATS Play
03-17-17	Rhode Island +1 v. Creighton	Top	84-72	Win	100	38 h 14 m	Show
10* Top Play on Rhode Island The Rhode Island Rams are on a roll right now. This is a team that was on the outside looking in as of a couple weeks ago, and they won their way into the NCAA Tournament in impressive fashion. How did they do it? Rhode Island is playing some tremendous defense. The Rams have one of the best defenders in the country in E.C. Matthews. Matthews has quickness and length to bother opposing teams best scorers. The Rams play great team defense and really go after loose balls. Creighton isn't the same team since Maurice Watson Jr. went down with an injury. Marcus Foster is asked to do too much, and the Blue Jays rely heavily on 3 point shooting. In a game like this, that is very dangerous. Rhode Island ranks in the top five in the country in three point field goal percentage defense. Creighton has to shoot lights out to win, while Rhode Island can lock down on defense and attack the rim on offense. A couple trends of note. Rhode Island is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Creighton is only 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. Take Rhode Island. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday CBB ATS RARE 10 Top Play
03-16-17	Princeton +7 v. Notre Dame		58-60	Win	100	35 h 11 m	Show
10* Top Play on Princeton +7 The Princeton Tigers are playing some tremendous basketball right now. How you are playing entering the NCAA Tournament matters a lot, and no one is in better form than Princeton. Obviously, they haven't played the toughest of competition, but they did everything that was asked of them and completely dominated the Ivy League. Notre Dame is a team that plays games at a very slow pace, and that's what Princeton wants to do this year as well. The Tigers are shooting a lot of three pointers this year, and they have a lot of guys who shoot the ball really well from the outside. The Fighting Irish play quite a few close games because of their style of play. Notre Dame was excellent two years ago when they nearly knocked off an unbeaten Kentucky team in the Big Dance, but they edged past Northeastern 69-65 in that first round game. Princeton is comfortable playing the style of game Notre Dame plays. That gives them a nice advantage. Also, Princeton has veterans in key positions, and I think this Tigers team truly believes they could win this game. It wouldn't stun me if they did either. Notre Dame is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 NCAA Tournament games. This is too many points. Back Princeton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday CBB 10* Top Rated ATS Play
03-14-17	College of Charleston v. Colorado State -4.5		74-81	Win	100	11 h 48 m	Show
Colorado State -4.5 The Colorado State Rams have a really good homecourt advantage. They play at a very high elevation and that is one of the biggest things that creates value for some home teams in the Mountain West region. The College of Charleston is obviously not accustomed to playing at high altitude. College of Charleston has a tough spot here because they must travel a really long way from home, and then they have to be able to withstand the effects of the altitude. Colorado State will have the best player on the floor here in Gian Clavell. Clavell certainly doesn't want his collegiate career to end yet, and I expect a big effort from the senior in this game. Charleston isn't accustomed to playing against scorers of his capability. Charleston is a quality team, but the circumstances surrounding this game should make things difficult enough on them that they aren't able to cover. We'll lay the small number with the Rams in this one. Take Colorado State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play
03-11-17	Marshall v. Middle Tennessee -9		72-83	Win	100	10 h 38 m	Show
Middle Tennessee State -9 The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders were the best team in Conference USA by a wide margin all year. MTSU plays Marshall here in the title game, and I expect them to win big here as well. Marshall is playing for the fourth straight day. MTSU is playing for only the third straight day. Marshall knocked down 19 three pointers in their win over LA Tech on Friday. Often you see teams regress toward the mean in their next game after that kind of performance. One thing that makes it even more likely that Marshall's three point percentage comes way down is MTSU's tremendous defense. The Blue Raiders were tops in CUSA in defense all year. Marshall was beaten soundly in both regular season meetings with MTSU. With the favorite being better rested and having the great defense, I don't see any reason to expect a different result here. MTSU runs away with this one. Lay the points. Take Middle Tennessee State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
03-10-17	Troy State v. Georgia Southern		90-70	Win	100	11 h 26 m	Show
Troy -1 The Georgia Southern Eagles started the season playing some very good basketball, but they have skidded to the finish of the season. Troy played extremely well in their game against Appalachian State, and I think this is a Troy team that can make a run here in this Sun Belt Tournament. Troy has arguably the best player in the conference in Jordon Varnado. He can do a little bit of everything, and I don't see anyone on this Georgia Southern team being able to guard him. The oddsmakers are telling us a lot with this line as well. Troy is favored despite being the sixth seed in this tournament. Georgia Southern is the three seed. It seems backward doesn't it? You have to remember that Vegas oddsmakers are very smart, and I think this says they know how strong of a team Troy is. Georgia Southern doesn't have the team leaders that Troy does, and I'll take Troy in this matchup. Take Troy. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play
03-10-17	Duke +3.5 v. North Carolina		93-83	Win	100	17 h 2 m	Show
Duke +3.5 The Blue Devils catch points here against UNC in the ACC Tourney and have value in this spot. We saw Duke and UNC split their regular season meetings and the Blue Devils enter play here with a full head of steam. Looking to become the first team to win the ACC from where they started the tournament, the Blue Devils knocked off Clemson and then erased a 10 point 2nd half deficit to beat Louisville. Duke is playing extremely well right now and the momentum is certainly on their side. This is the first time in quite some time everyone is healthy. The Blue Devils have been banged up all season long, but with everyone healthy, we're seeing just what this team is capable of. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Blue Devils are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Duke is getting production from just about everyone. Jayson Tatum, Grayson Allen, and Luke Kennard are all on their top game. This is a lot of points to give them on Friday. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
03-09-17	Kansas State v. Baylor -5		70-64	Loss	-105	13 h 51 m	Show
Baylor -5 The Baylor Bears lost at home to the Kansas State Wildcats in their last meeting. That's a game Baylor would like to get some revenge for in this contest. If you look back at that one, it makes quite a bit of sense. Baylor had just lost a heartbreaker to Kansas on the road, and then came home in a bad spot and was flat against Kansas State. They shouldn't be flat here. Baylor is flying under the radar a bit because the Big 12 is so good, but this Baylor Bears team is really talented. Motley is one of the best forwards in the country, and Kansas State isn't going to be able to keep him off the glass here. Kansas State is playing worse late in the year than they did in the middle of the season. I like to fade teams trending the wrong way this time of the year. Take Baylor. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Iowa +1.5 The Hawkeyes and Hoosiers clash in the Big 10 Tournament on Thursday night and Iowa plus the point and a half is the move here. Iowa has just been much more consistent this season as a whole. The Hawkeyes enters the Big Ten tourney red hot, winners of 4 straight games, which is always a nice team to back. When entering conference tournaments, catching the teams that closed the regular season out on a run has proven to be profitable in the past. Iowa has been one of the best in terms of offensive production as well. The Hawkeyes have averaged above 80 points per game, as their inside out game is one of the best in the conference. Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big Ten. Hawkeyes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Iowa has an edge here. They're more consistent and can create a lot of opportunities for themselves in this spot. Back Iowa ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
03-08-17	Missouri v. Auburn -6		86-83	Loss	-115	21 h 43 m	Show
Auburn -6 It's the battle of the Tigers here on Wednesday night and Auburn is the move here laying the points. Missouri has just been horrible this season. They have just 7 wins on the season and average only 68 points per game. They get an Auburn team that just beat them last time out, as Auburn threw up 89 points. Expect Auburn to really push the tempo here. Missouri just doesn't have the fire power to keep up in the one. They struggle with transition defense and should give way for some easy buckets for Auburn in this one. Some trends to note. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. This is a nice play here. Auburn has played well against bad teams and this isn't necessarily a big spread to cover against a bad team. Back Auburn ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play
03-08-17	LSU v. Mississippi State -6		52-79	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
Mississippi State -6 The LSU Tigers are going to have a new head coach after the end of the season. The end of the season should be on Wednesday night for them. This LSU team has severely underachieved in each of the last two years. Johnny Jones has done a really bad job maximizing the talent he has gotten while at LSU. While you could say the team might be pumped up to send him out with a win, we haven't seen them fight hard for him any before. Why would they start now when they know he is gone? Mississippi State isn't a great team, but they don't have to be to cover this number against a bad LSU team. This LSU defense is the worst in the SEC by a mile. LSU gives up easy layup after easy layup on a consistent basis. Lay the points here as LSU should be ready to end this season as soon as possible. Back Mississippi State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

East Tennessee State -5 The East Tennessee State Bucs lost both regular season meetings against UNC Greensboro. Still, they are favored by five points in this neutral site game. The public is on UNC Greensboro here because it seems "too obvious." I'll take the favorite in East Tennessee State. East Tennessee State is the better team here according to almost all the metrics. The Bucs shot the ball really poor in their two games against UNC Greensboro, and I expect them to shoot it better here. It is really hard to beat a team that is better than you three times in a row. The oddsmakers are sharp, and when they throw out a -5 on a team that has lost twice to this opponent in the regular season, you should pay attention. The public is taking UNC Greensboro at a 67% clip so far. We'll fade the public and go with East Tennessee State in the Southern Conference title game. East Tennessee State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on a neutral site as a favorite. Take East Tennessee State -5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play
03-04-17	Dayton v. George Washington +4.5		81-87	Win	100	10 h 35 m	Show
George Washington +4.5 George Washington catches 4.5 points here at home against Dayton here and given how well they play at home, this isn't a bad move. George Washington enters play a solid 12-3 at home as defense is their biggest key to victory. The Colonials allow just 65 points per home game, which is one of the best marks in the A-10. They'll have to turn this into a slower paced game, as that simply favors them more here. Dayton has plenty of talent, but they have shown some signs of vulnerability when it comes to playing on the road. They concede 70 points per game and their interior defense certainly lacks. Some trends to note. Colonials are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Colonials are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Look for Dayton to really struggle here with the tempo George Washington gives them. With how hot the Colonials have been at home lately, this is a nice spot and number on them. Back George Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play
03-04-17	Western Illinois v. South Dakota -9.5		69-78	Loss	-105	9 h 14 m	Show
South Dakota -9.5 The South Dakota Coyotes are 20-7 ATS this year. The oddsmakers haven't been able to catch up to them all year, and I still don't think they have caught up. Tyler Flack is one of the most consistent players in the country, and the Coyotes have some tremendous young guards. Western Illinois was dominated by 11 at home by South Dakota just last week. South Dakota gets to play this conference tournament game close to home on Saturday, and that should be a big boost to this team. Western Illinois is in a virtual road game here. Western Illinois is one of the worst defenses in the country, while South Dakota has the best defense in the conference. Look for South Dakota's defense and inside game to carry them to a comfortable win here. The oddsmakers once again have given us too cheap of a price. Take South Dakota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
03-02-17	Eastern Washington -9.5 v. Southern Utah		91-75	Win	100	11 h 39 m	Show
Eastern Washington -10 The Southern Utah Thunderbirds have had a really rough season. Southern Utah has consistently gotten beaten up by the better teams in the Big sky. Eastern Washington is one of those teams. Eastern Washington has a great power forward in Wiley. The team has multiple guys who can shoot it from long range as well. Very few teams in this conference have the balance that Eastern Washington has on the offensive end. The Eagles are also top three in the conference in total defense. Southern Utah plays virtually no defense, and I think Eastern Washington can put up a huge number here. Southern Utah shoots the ball fairly well, but they turn it over too often, and that will be a big problem here. Southern Utah has very little home court advantage and Eastern Washington has proven they can win on the road. Southern Utah gets beaten down one more time. Take Eastern Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-28-17	Ball State +5.5 v. Toledo		82-74	Win	100	4 h 50 m	Show
Ball State +5.5 The Ball State Cardinals have been up and down all year. They have the talent to beat anyone in the conference. They have several really good scorers on their roster. Ball State beat Toledo by a single point at home earlier this year. Toledo has been playing well of late, but Ball State has some really impressive road showings inside the conference. Ball State won at Buffalo, at Northern Illinois, at Central Michigan, and at Eastern Michigan. They also lost by only two to Akron on the road. It is Senior Day for Toledo, and I believe that puts more pressure on a team and is an overall negative. Ball State should be able to play free while Toledo is tight here. In a game that I expect to be decided in the final minute, I'm happy to grab the 5.5 points in this one. Take the underdog. Back Ball State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-27-17	Miami (Fla) v. Virginia Tech -1		61-66	Win	100	21 h 21 m	Show
Virginia Tech -1 The Hokies and Hurricanes play in what is a huge ACC clash with tournament implications on the line. Given just the -1 here, the Hokies have value at home. Virginia Tech is a ridiculous 14-1 at home this season as their offense is completely dominant. The Hokies are putting up 84 points per home game and winning games on average by nearly 14 points in front of their home fans. While both teams have hit 20 wins and are likely in the NCAA Tournament, nothing is guaranteed and grabbing a win here is a huge resume builder. With Miami just a mediocre 4-4 on the road and in a let down spot after back to back big wins, this is a where the Hokies can really catch Miami off guard. Some trends to note. Hokies are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. Hokies are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. Miami is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 against the Hokies. This is a nice number and spot situationally to back Virginia Tech. Back Virginia Tech ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-24-17	Dayton -2 v. Davidson		89-82	Win	100	21 h 6 m	Show
Dayton -2 The Flyers head into Davidson on Friday night and the visitors laying the points here is the move. Dayton has been on a tear lately and there has been no signs of slowing this team down. Winners of 7 straight games, the Flyers are forcing opponents to play at their pace. Dayton has averaged 75 points per game, but where they dominate is on the defensive side of the ball. The Flyers give up just 65 points per game and they hold the opposition to just 40% shooting from the field. As for Davidson, they haven't been much of anything this season and only laying -2 here is valuable. Davidson just can't find any sort of stability or consistency when it comes to their shooters. Some trends to note. Flyers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Atlantic 10. Flyers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 Friday games. Situationally, this is a nice spot for Dayton. They get the edge in almost every category here and should be able to really control Davidson from the opening tip. Back Dayton ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-24-17	Akron +2 v. Buffalo		89-83	Win	100	12 h 32 m	Show
Akron +2 The Akron Zips have the most complete team in the Mid American Conference. Akron has hit a quick two game losing streak of late. The Zips should be focused on the task at hand on Friday night. The Buffalo Bulls are one of the best teams in the league as well. Buffalo nearly knocked off Akron at Akron earlier this year. Akron seems like a team that has the ability to play at another gear, but they haven't been playing in that gear much of late. I think they crank it up for this one. Buffalo has lost three home games in the Mid American Conference slate already this year. The Bulls really don't have anyone to guard Isaiah Johnson down in the post. Johnson is Akron's most important player, and I think he'll have a big day here. Akron has great balance and they are the best offense in the conference. After two really tough losses, expect them to bounce back here. Back Akron. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-22-17	Oregon v. California +3.5		68-65	Win	100	21 h 59 m	Show
California +3.5 The Golden Bears welcome in the Ducks on Wednesday night and the home team plus the points is the move here. First off, Oregon has been a mediocre road team this year. They're only outscoring their opponents 73-69 in road contests, which isn't a very good mark considering where they're at. At home, the Golden Bears have played dominant. California is a solid 14-2 and they've had solid success against Oregon inside their own building. Over the last 9 meetings, they've gone 7-2 against them. As far as resumes go, California really could use this one. After falling to Stanford, this would likely be the win to get them over the hump in terms of the committee. Some trends to note. Ducks are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings. This is a nice spot for Cal. A chance at a resume building win and getting to play at home, where they've had success against Oregon. There is value here on the home side. Back California ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-22-17	Vanderbilt +3.5 v. Tennessee		67-56	Win	100	10 h 47 m	Show
Vanderbilt +3.5 The Vanderbilt Commodores have a high ceiling and a low floor. The Commodores have been hard to figure out this year because it can be tough to gauge their motivation level. Vanderbilt has won some really impressive games on the road, including their win at Florida. The Commodores also have some ugly losses. They were blown out at home by Tennessee recently, and the Commodores should be hungry for revenge here. Tennessee and Vanderbilt are bitter rivals, and Vanderbilt has had to think about getting beaten up on their home court by the Volunteers. Rick Barnes' team isn't a bad team, but I don't think their upside is as high as Vanderbilt's. Vanderbilt wasn't ready to match Tennessee's motivation level in their first meeting between these two teams. I don't think that will be the case on Wednesday night. Grab the points with the Commodores here. A couple trends of note. Vanderbilt is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 as an underdog. Tennessee is 11-27-2 ATS in their last 40 as a favorite. Back Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-21-17	NC State v. Georgia Tech -5		71-69	Loss	-105	23 h 47 m	Show
Georgia Tech -5 The Yellow Jackets welcome in NC State on Tuesday night and with how much of a mess NC State has been, Georgia Tech laying the points has value. NC State sits at 14-14 on the season, but has already announced they will part ways with head coach Mark Gottfried at the end of the season. It poses a lot of awkwardness as this team certainly can still make a push at the tourney. However, with how they're playing currently they stand no chance. NC State has lost 7 straight games and has looked absolutely atrocious while doing so. Georgia Tech needs this win to bolster their resume and with the way they play at home, I like their chances. The Yellow Jackets have gone 14-3, while the Wolfpack are just 1-7 on the road. Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 vs. Atlantic Coast. Wolfpack are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. Every angle you look at here, the edge goes to Georgia Tech. Expect them to add to the Wolfpack's misery on Tuesday. Back Georgia Tech ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Iowa State +1.5 The Cyclones head into Texas Tech on Monday night and the visitors are the move here. Iowa State has been playing extremely well and they're turning it on at the right time. The Cyclones have won 3 straight games and continue to boost their resume. Offensively, they finally look like they've found their form. Iowa State is averaging 81 points per game now and is getting production from a lot of different players every single night. They have also dominated this head to head series. Iowa State has won 6 of the last 8 meetings, which includes an 8 point win already this season. Some trends to note. Cyclones are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5. Iowa State has been a much more consistent team as of late and with how good they've been against the Red Raiders, this is a nice spot and number on the Cyclones Monday night. Back Iowa State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-19-17	Michigan +1 v. Minnesota		78-83	Loss	-110	8 h 40 m	Show
Michigan -1 The Wolverines head into Minnesota and laying just a point on the road has value. The Wolverines come in off a huge win over Wisconsin as they continue to build a solid foundation for their resume. Michigan has won 3 straight and this mini road trip in Minnesota and Rutgers could seal their fate in the tournament with a couple wins. Minnesota lacks a lot of offensive spark. The Wolverines should be able to pick the tempo up and really push the issue on them here. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Versus the Gophers the Wolverines are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Michigan is far better all around and laying just a single point here is a solid move. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-19-17	Fairfield +6 v. St. Peter's		55-74	Loss	-105	3 h 41 m	Show
Fairfield +6 The St. Peter's Peacocks play at such a slow pace that it is tough for them to cover the spread once it gets inflated at all. Fairfield was blown out at home by St. Peter's earlier this year. Why would we want to back them here then? Backing teams that were blown out on the road as an underdog has been a long-term strong system. Fairfield has won their last two on the road, and the team is playing with as much confidence as ever right now. This is a good defensive team that can usually stay in the game. With a total in the 120's, a 7 point spread is a pretty large number. It's like taking 10 or 11 points in a normal game. Look for Fairfield to be ready to play as they look to bounce back from the terrible performance in the first meeting between these two. Take Fairfield. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play
02-18-17	UTEP +8.5 v. Rice		79-71	Win	100	11 h 11 m	Show
UTEP +8.5 We have successfully backed UTEP a couple times in the past few weeks, and we are going back to the well once again here. UTEP has the top defense in the conference. It's hard to overlook the best defense in the conference catching 8.5 points. Rice is certainly a much improved team. Still, Rice has had trouble against the best teams in the conference, even on their home floor. There's certainly a good chance Rice wins outright here, but I think this game will be close all the way. UTEP underachieved badly early in the year, and we are getting a lot of extra value because of that. The Miners are too good of a team to be losing the way they did early in the year. They have turned it around now, and the books can't keep up. A couple trends here. UTEP is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. Rice is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 at home. Back UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-18-17	Pacific v. Gonzaga -29		61-82	Loss	-110	13 h 60 m	Show
Gonzaga -29 Laying this many points is not an easy task. However, given how Gonzaga has been playing and what they're playing for, this is a nice spot for them. Gonzaga has won 27 in a row and while they sit at #1 and the only undefeated in the country, people continue to question the status of this team. The Bulldogs are a solid 19-4-1 ATS this year, as they continue to cover big spreads and blow teams out. They'll get a Pacific team who is just 2-10 SU on the road and 8-17 ATS this year. Pacific just doesn't have enough to keep up with Gonzaga here in this one. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Bulldogs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. Expect the Bulldogs to just absolutely wear this Pacific team down on Saturday, in what is a lopsided affair. Back Gonzaga ATS. Good Luck ,Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
02-18-17	Northern Arizona +1.5 v. Southern Utah		68-84	Loss	-105	7 h 4 m	Show
Northern Arizona +1.5 The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks have shown progress throughout the season. The Southern Utah Thunderbirds have not. There is no doubt that both of these teams are really bad. Still, Northern Arizona holds value here as they look to get revenge for Southern Utah knocking them off at home earlier this year. In that win at Northern Arizona, Southern Utah made 16/29 from three point range. This is a Southern Utah team that shoots only 34.7 percent from three point range on the season. They should come back down to earth here. Northern Arizona has been very close on the road against good teams. Southern Utah has been getting beaten badly in most of their games of late. This game fits into a nice road revenge angle that has been a strong one over the years. We'll back the Northern Arizona team that is much better on defense. They are the team that should be the hungriest on Saturday, and they are the underdog. Take Northern Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-17-17	Canisius -2 v. Rider		85-77	Win	100	15 h 3 m	Show
Canisius -2 The Canisius Golden Griffins have been an inconsistent team this year, but their upside is higher than the Rider Broncs. Canisius shot the ball poorly and lost 72-66 at home to Rider recently. They get a quick chance at revenge here. Rider has been involved in a couple really fast paced games that went right down to the wire in the past week. It wouldn't be a surprise if they are a little worn out heading into this one. This matchup favors Canisius in one key way as well. Canisius is the best team in the MAAC at forcing turnovers, and Rider is turning it over on 20 percent of their offensive possessions. With ball security being such a big problem for Rider, I see this as a great chance for Canisius to get their revenge. Canisius comes into this game with plenty of motivation and a lot of confidence. A couple trends of note. Canisius is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning record at home. The Golden Griffins are also 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as a road favorite. Take Canisius. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-16-17	Northern Kentucky v. Cleveland State		62-60	Win	100	20 h 32 m	Show
Northern Kentucky PK Northern Kentucky and the Vikings battle on Thursday night and this line is just too nice to pass up on. Cleveland State has been a wreck this season. The Vikings are just 8-18 and 8-15-1 ATS in that span. The Vikings are 2nd last in the Horizon League as they simply do not have any weapons offensively to take a game over. As for Northern Kentucky, they are a top of the road team in the conference and are looking for a solid seed come tournament time. They've played real well lately, winning 3 straight games and have an 8 point over the Vikings already once this teams. Some trends to note. Norse are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Don't be filled by this line. Cleveland State isn't very good and Northern Kentucky will have the ability to pull away in this one, especially if they get out to an early lead. Back Northern Kentucky ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
02-15-17	Duke +5 v. Virginia		65-55	Win	100	22 h 7 m	Show
Duke +5 Betting against Virginia is a tough task, but when you get 5 points with Coach K and Duke, it's worth a move. The Blue Devils high powered offense is one of the best this Virginia team will be seeing this season. Granted, the Cavaliers defense is one of the tops in the NCAA, but Duke is one of those teams that matches up well with them. Duke will push the tempo consistently and really try to force Virginia out of their game. The road team has also dominated this series. When playing head to head, the road team has gone 18-7-1 ATS in this series. The faster the game, the better this plays into Duke's favor. Expect right from the outset for Duke to start firing and try to get Virginia in a hole where they will be forced to get out of their comfort zone. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
02-15-17	Fordham +14.5 v. Rhode Island		53-43	Win	100	10 h 27 m	Show
Fordham +14.5 The Fordham Rams have been solid away from home this year. They have won outright at Davidson, UMass, and at St. Joe's. The Rams have a defense that is unique and forces a bunch of turnovers. Rhode Island is coming off a really tough loss at home to Dayton. The Rams led nearly the entire way before Dayton launched in two 3 pointers in the final few seconds of the game to beat them. Rhode Island isn't going to make the NCAA Tournament. The Rams were pointing toward that Dayton game because the Flyers have become a rival of sorts for them in recent years. How can they get up for a game like Fordham at home? There is a real question as to whether Rhode Island will be ready here. I think they'll probably win here, but I don't see them being amped up to cover the large spread. I'll grab the points with the road team. Take Fordham. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-14-17	Dayton -14 v. St. Louis		85-63	Win	100	20 h 48 m	Show
Dayton -14 The Flyers meet with St. Louis for an A10 battle on Tuesday and the visitors laying the points is a nice move. This is a case where it's two teams going in completely different directions. St. Louis is just terrible. They don't have any sort of major scoring threat and have the capabilities of getting blown out on any given night. They have already taken on Dayton once this year and dropped by 21 points. The Flyers are a high powered team that will really control this game both inside and out. Look for them to get out early and really wear down St. Louis. Some trends to note. Flyers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Flyers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite of 13.0 or greater. Dayton is a good team when it comes to laying the high point amounts. Especially here, they are far better and will take complete control early. Back Dayton ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
02-14-17	Richmond +1 v. George Mason		70-93	Loss	-104	9 h 14 m	Show
Richmond +1 The Richmond Spiders have won at Davidson, George Washington, LaSalle, and several other places already this year. Richmond is a solid road team. George Mason has been much better to back on the road than at home. George Mason beat Richmond on the road, and now the Spiders have a chance to return the favor. I like their chances of doing it here. George Mason benefited from Richmond just being cold as ice from the floor in that first meeting this year. Richmond was 9/30 on three pointers, and only 17/42 from 2 point range in that game. Richmond is number one in the Atlantic 10 in effective field goal percentage offense, so this isn't a team that usually struggles to shoot the basketball. They'll shoot it better in this game. Some trends to consider. Richmond is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games. Patriots are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. George Mason has struggled to string together good wins this year, and I'll go against them in this one. Take Richmond. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-11-17	Chattanooga -2.5 v. Wofford		73-65	Win	100	9 h 38 m	Show
Chattanooga -2.5 The Chattanooga Mocs have been the most consistent team in the Southern Conference in the past couple seasons. They are coming off a tough loss at Furman in their last game, and I think that means we get a strong effort from them in this game. Wofford is playing its third game in six days. Both of the previous games were hard fought wins over good teams in the SoCon. On Thursday night, Wofford won an amazing 4 overtime game over Samford. The negative there is Wofford has to be completely gassed. Four Wofford players logged at least 56 minutes in that game! They get less than 48 hours to recover! That kind of quick turnaround is really tough, especially when you are going up against a team that has more talent than you do. Chattanooga won at Wofford by 9 last year, and I think the Mocs will win and cover against a tired Wofford team here. Back Chattanooga. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-11-17	Idaho v. North Dakota -3.5		65-88	Win	100	7 h 32 m	Show
North Dakota -3.5 The North Dakota Fighting Hawks were picked by several people as the best team in the Big Sky before the season. The season hasn't gone as smoothly as many believed it would for the team, but they are now showing the potential many believed they had in them. North Dakota has beaten Eastern Washington and Weber State comfortably at home. Many consider those the other two best teams in the league. The Fighting Hawks have a very good homecourt advantage, and Idaho is playing their second straight road game here. Idaho has been shooting the ball much better in recent games, but you have to wonder how much longer they can shoot the ball so well. The Vandals have been wildly inconsistent on offense in recent years, and it is hard to imagine they just magically fixed all their problems. On the other hand, North Dakota has been extremely consistent on offense in the Big Sky, and I see them scoring with ease throughout this contest. Back North Dakota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-10-17	Oakland -7 v. Detroit		89-80	Win	100	10 h 33 m	Show
Oakland -7 The Oakland Golden Grizzlies were stunned by their rivals from Detroit in their first meeting this year. Remember, both of these schools are in Detroit, and these two teams know each other really well. Oakland was favored by 18.5 in that first game, but they lost straight up. The Golden Grizzlies have been road warriors in recent years. They go on the road to get their revenge here, and the price is very fair. Oakland is certainly the better team here. The Golden Grizzlies are the second best team in the conference in defense this year. They should hold Detroit to a much lower shooting number than they did in the first game. Detroit used a full court press extensively for the first time in that meeting earlier this year, and Oakland wasn't ready for it. The Grizzlies will be ready this time around. We're getting the much better team at a discounted price. Revenge. A couple trends of note. Oakland is 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 road games. Oakland is 27-11-3 ATS in their last 41 as a road favorite. Take Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-08-17	VCU v. George Washington +5.5		54-53	Win	100	12 h 59 m	Show
George Washington +5.5 The George Washington Colonials were 28-10 last year. They won the NIT Tournament. There were really high hopes for this team heading into the season. Right before the season, their head coach Mike Lonergan was fired due to some questions about his treatment of players. Maurice Joseph was named the interim coach, and it hasn't worked out very well. George Washington hasn't been consistent. They have still played well in spots though. VCU is riding high coming into this game, and the Rams rolled to an 85-55 win at home against George Washington earlier this year. VCU lost on the road to both Davidson and Fordham in the conference, and I think the Rams are far from unbeatable. George Washington has some major revenge on their minds after that blowout loss from earlier this year. Playing on a team that has revenge after a blowout loss is definitely a long-term winner of an angle. In this one, I think it serves as the George Washington super bowl type game since they have had a disappointing year overall. Take the generous amount of points in this one. Back George Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-07-17	Vanderbilt +4 v. Arkansas		72-59	Win	100	11 h 20 m	Show
Vanderbilt +4 The Vanderbilt Commodores are an inconsistent team, but they are capable of beating anyone. The Arkansas Razorbacks have proven they are down a couple notches from where they have been in recent years. Arkansas no longer has that dominant player that they had in recent years. The Razorbacks don't force as many turnovers as they did in the past either. The Razorbacks are coming off an embarrassing loss to rival Missouri last game. Missouri hadn't won in the SEC until that game. Vanderbilt lost in a stunner at home to Arkansas earlier this year. Vanderbilt led the whole way before losing on a buzzer beater 71-70. You know the Commodores remember that game well, and this is a great chance for them to exact some revenge on Arkansas. Vanderbilt is a well-balanced team, and I think they have a good shot to win outright. A couple trends of note. Vanderbilt is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Vanderbilt is also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Take Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
02-07-17	Bowling Green v. Kent State -8		84-83	Loss	-107	9 h 30 m	Show
Kent State -8 MAC East rivals clash on Tuesday as Kent State and Bowling Green battle Tuesday. Here, the home team laying the points has value. Kent State gets real value here due to the fact that Bowling Green is a mess on the road. The Falcons have just one win in nine chances. Defense has been their biggest issue as they give up 80 points per road game. That doesn't bode well here when they go up against one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the nation. Kent State crashes the boards every possession and will have plenty of 2nd and even 3rd chances here on Tuesday. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Mid-American. The Golden Flashes are bigger, more physical, and quicker than Bowling Green. This is just not a good matchup for the Falcons and Kent should blow the doors off them here at home. Back Kent State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 7* NCAAB ATS Play
02-05-17	Indiana v. Wisconsin -12		60-65	Loss	-115	5 h 36 m	Show
Wisconsin -12 The Wisconsin Badgers go up against a short handed Indiana team here. Indiana lost by 7 at home to Wisconsin earlier this year, and that was with Anunoby and Blackmon in the lineup. They won't be in the lineup here. Madison is a really tough place to go win a game. Wisconsin has made a history of blowing out good teams in the Kohl Center. The Badgers are a veteran team that takes care of the ball, shoots it well, and plays tremendous defense. There isn't any real weakness for this team. Indiana is a flawed team that struggles on the defensive end. The Hoosiers have a big disadvantage as far as the coaching here too. Gard has proven himself as a good in-game coach, while Tom Crean's teams have disappointed for many years. The Badgers won't overlook a big name team like Indiana, and Wisconsin is just too good for the Hoosiers. A couple trends of note here. The Hoosiers are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Wisconsin is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as a favorite. Back Wisconsin. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play
02-04-17	Middle Tennessee v. UTEP +10.5		54-57	Win	100	11 h 5 m	Show
UTEP +10.5 The UTEP Miners are much better than their record would indicate. This is a team that badly underachieved through the first half of the year. Tim Floyd's team has finally come together and turned things around in recent weeks. UTEP drilled Marshall on the road and then backed it up with an upset win over UAB in their last game. Will they win this one outright? Probably not. Still, at +10.5 there is a lot of value here. MTSU is a really good team, but they play slowly and that means a lower scoring game usually. Given that fact, laying a bunch of points with them isn't a great idea against a good defense. UTEP's defense has been the best of any team in Conference USA play. The Miners will fight hard here at home, and the oddsmakers still aren't showing them any respect. Way too many points here. Grab the home underdog. Back UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
02-02-17	UAB v. UTEP +5		59-63	Win	100	14 h 2 m	Show
UTEP +5 The UTEP Miners have underperformed all year long. UTEP has way too much talent to have the record they do at this point in the season. I've been keeping a close eye on this UTEP team waiting for a time to buy. I think the time is now. UTEP won a few close games where they had to show a lot of fight. Then they went to Marshall as a double digit underdog and beat Marshall by more than 20 points. That's a really impressive win. UAB has been performing really well of late. The Blazers have been shooting the lights out though, and I don't expect that to continue forever. UAB has to cool off sometime, and I think against a quality defense like UTEP is a good time to expect it. UTEP was expected to be a good team before the season, and now they are playing to their potential. They are a dangerous home underdog here. A couple trends of note. UAB is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. UTEP is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 as a home underdog. Take UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-30-17	Duke v. Notre Dame		84-74	Loss	-110	11 h 50 m	Show
Notre Dame PK The Fighting Irish and Blue Devils clash on Monday night and the home team in Notre Dame here has value at this price. Winning on the road in conference is play is extremely tough. Duke hasn't played well this season and while they did come from behind last time out to beat Wake Forest, this team is still far from playing well. They are just 2-3 on the road this season and have struggled on the defensive end. Here, Notre Dame gets a huge edge as they have been one of the best teams at home. The Fighting Irish enter play 12-1 while outscoring their opponents 82.4- 62.9 when playing inside their own building. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Blue Devils are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Fighting Irish have taken 3 straight in this series and given the home play from them, this is a nice number on them. Back Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NCAAB ATS Play
01-29-17	South Florida +24.5 v. Cincinnati		53-94	Loss	-105	7 h 18 m	Show
South Florida +24.5 The Bulls take on the Bearcats here on Sunday and grabbing this many points with USF is the way to go. On paper, things don't look pretty in this situation for South Florida. However, this is also a giant let down spot for the Bearcats. The Bearcats come in off an emotional come from behind win over Xavier on Thursday night and certainly don't have their minds set on USF here, a team that has struggled this season. Given the spread here, this is just way too many points. The Bearcats are a slow paced team and they really don't blow teams out by 20 plus points per game. USF is losing by an average of 14 points per conference game which obviously isn't good, but well more than enough here to cover the spread. Some trends to note. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog of 13.0 or greater. Bulls are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a double-digit loss at home. This is just a lot of points. Given this being a let down spot, expect Cincinnati to take this one too lightly and likely win by a smaller margin than expected. Back South Florida ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
01-28-17	Belmont v. Tennessee State +1.5		93-76	Loss	-110	12 h 58 m	Show
Tennessee State +1.5 The Tennessee State Tigers looked like the best team in the Ohio Valley Conference in the non-conference schedule. They picked up a really impressive win over a very good MTSU squad on the road, and Tennessee State even played Duke tight at Cameroon Indoor for most of the game. Once Tennessee State hit OVC play, they hit the skids. The Tigers got away from their stifling defense and it cost them in a big way. Dana Ford has this team playing well again though, and I love what they showed in their last game against SIU Edwardsville. Belmont isn't the dominant team they have been in some years in the past. Belmont is good, but they are less athletic than Tennessee State. The Tigers will have a packed house here, and I think there's a good chance they upset the Bruins. It's a buy low time for a very good Tigers team. Take Tennessee State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-28-17	UTEP v. Marshall -13.5		91-68	Loss	-100	11 h 32 m	Show
Marshall -13.5 The UTEP Miners put a lot of effort into their game on Thursday night against Western Kentucky. UTEP was down big early in that game, but the Miners came storming back and only lost by 3 points. You have to give them credit for fighting hard there, but I think that actually hurts them in this game. Marshall plays faster than any other team in Conference USA. The Thundering Herd have the highest scoring offense in the league. They are going to put up points here, and UTEP's problem all year has been scoring the basketball. UTEP is likely to have less in the tank here, and I don't see them putting up a number big enough to stay close in this contest. Marshall picks up yet another comfortable win on their home floor against an opponent who is overmatched. Take Marshall. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-28-17	Texas +5.5 v. Georgia		57-59	Win	100	8 h 35 m	Show
Texas +5.5 The Texas Longhorns go into Georgia to take on the Bulldogs on Saturday. This is one of the Big 12/SEC showdown games, and the Big 12 is clearly the superior league. Texas has been playing some of the best teams in the country on a nightly basis, while Georgia plays a lot of cupcakes in the SEC. Georgia has had some major trouble finishing games this year. Multiple times this team has had big leads and let it slip away in the final minutes. I don't think they'll get a big lead in this one, but if they do there is always a real shot that they'll let it get away enough for Texas to cover. The Longhorns have a really athletic team, and Shaka Smart's group has started to play a lot more consistently over the course of the last couple weeks. They are a dangerous dog as they travel to Georgia to take on a team with very little confidence right now. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-24-17	Kansas +5 v. West Virginia		69-85	Loss	-110	19 h 31 m	Show
Kansas +5 The Jayhawks put their top ranking on the line when they head into West Virginia on Tuesday night. Grabbing points with Kansas has value to work with. Kansas boasts one of the best 3 point attacks in the nation, something the Mountaineers likely cannot keep up with here. The Jayhawks enter play on Tuesday shooting 41.6% from behind the arc, good enough for 5th in the nation. Where the edge comes is from how bad West Virginia is at defending the 3. The Mountaineers rank 113th in the nation when it comes to defending the arc, as they see the opposition shoot at a 42.1% rate. Some trends to note. Jayhawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss. Jayhawks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Situationally and matchup wise, this is a nice spot for Kansas. They're a much deeper and quicker team that will give West Virginia a lot of fits here. Back Kansas ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-21-17	Wyoming +7.5 v. New Mexico		71-78	Win	100	13 h 46 m	Show
Wyoming +7.5 The New Mexico Lobos have played some really bad games at home this year. They beat UTEP by a single point at home, and UTEP is a miserable team this year. They lost that huge lead against Nevada and then lost at home to a bad UNLV team. New Mexico hasn't blown out hardly anyone on their home floor. Wyoming comes to town playing with confidence after dominating San Jose State last game on the road. The Cowboys are playing extremely fast, and this offense is dangerous in the open floor. New Mexico's defense has been much worse this year than in the past few seasons. I see New Mexico giving up a lot of points in this one. This projects as a game that goes down to the wire. I think New Mexico is getting a lot of love after pulling two upset wins on the road in the last week. We'll go against them as they are laying too big of a price in this one. Back Wyoming. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-21-17	Illinois v. Michigan -8		57-66	Win	100	7 h 54 m	Show
Michigan -8 The Michigan Wolverines will want to exact some revenge on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday. Michigan's defense was torched in a big loss at Illinois just 10 days ago. Illinois shot an astonishing 64.2 percent from the floor in that game, and they made 9/14 from 3 point range. The Fighting Illini won't shoot that well again. Illinois has lost by at least 16 points in all 3 of their Big Ten road contests. Michigan nearly knocked off Wisconsin in their last game. No doubt this Michigan team is rounding into form now, and I expect them to be ready from the tip here. This Wolverines team is capable of playing much better than they have so far this year, and I think we see them at their best on Saturday. Illinois is fade material, especially when we'll get a highly motivated team looking for quick revenge. Lay the points with the Wolverines. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-19-17	Maryland v. Iowa -2		84-76	Loss	-115	10 h 45 m	Show
Iowa -2 The Hawkeyes welcome in #25 Maryland on Thursday night and the home team laying the small spread is the move. Iowa's home play this year is not something that should be overlooked. The Hawkeyes enter play a solid 10-2 at home, as they put up 88.1 points per game. They seem to feed off the energy of this home crowd and enter Thursday winners of 7 straight at home. While Maryland has been good this season, they haven't really been tested on the road yet. They've played just 3 true road contests and are putting up only 71 points per road game, which is far less than the damage the Hawkeyes do at home. Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. This is an extremely nice spot for the Hawkeyes. They've won 4 of their last 5 against ranked opponents and have a huge advantage here on Thursday with being at home. Back Iowa ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-17-17	Vanderbilt v. Georgia -5		68-76	Win	100	3 h 16 m	Show
Georgia -5. The Vanderbilt Commodores are coming off a tough scheduling period. Vanderbilt lost at home to Kentucky in a game where they played really well and pushed the Wildcats. Then last game they lost as a home favorite against rival Tennessee. I think this is a tough spot for them. How do they bounce back from that kind of deflating stretch? They go on the road to face a solid Georgia team, but Georgia is still a team that isn't a huge name, and Vanderbilt players are likely to be less excited about this game than their last couple. Georgia's balance impresses me. The Bulldogs have a great forward in Yante Moten. I believe he is one of the most underrated players in the country. J.J. Frazier gives them an excellent guy in the backcourt as well. Vanderbilt relies too heavily on the three pointer, and that can be a big problem on the road against a good defense. A couple trends of note. Georgia is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 SEC games. Vanderbilt is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as a road underdog. Take Georgia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-15-17	Michigan State +2 v. Ohio State		67-72	Loss	-105	9 h 23 m	Show
Michigan State +2 The Michigan State Spartans are clearly improving. You can't say the same about the Ohio State Buckeyes. Thad Matta did great work early in his time at Ohio State, but the last few years have been really rough for him and the program. Ohio State has had several disheartening losses in a row. They were absolutely throttled by Wisconsin last game. I guess there is the theory that the Buckeyes are due for a bounce back here after that poor performance, but I think this Buckeyes team just isn't very good. Tom Izzo is the much better coach in this matchup, and the Spartans haven't had much trouble against Ohio State in recent years. This Michigan State team is really playing well on defense right now, and I don't see the Buckeyes being consistent enough on offense to win. Grab the points here, but Michigan State likely wins in Columbus. A couple trends of note here. Ohio State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Big Ten games. Michigan State is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 Big Ten games. Back Michigan State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday CBB 9* ATS Play
01-14-17	Tennessee State +1 v. Morehead State		85-87	Loss	-110	12 h 49 m	Show
Tennessee State +1 The Tennessee State Tigers may be the best team in the Ohio Valley Conference. They are certainly one of the best. Morehead State is having a rough year, and they lost their coach in the middle of the season after he got in trouble and was fired. Tennessee State has Dana Ford at the helm and I think he is the best coach in the OVC. He learned under Gregg Marshall at Wichita State, and he is doing a great job following in the footsteps. Tennessee State defends better than any other team in the conference, and that should be the difference in this game. Morehead State doesn't have an identity now, and the Eagles are coming off a hard fought loss against Belmont. I think that game took a lot of energy out of them, and I expect Tennessee State to come to Morehead and win this one. The better talent and the better coach. Back Tennessee State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-12-17	St. Mary's v. Portland +13.5		74-33	Loss	-115	15 h 53 m	Show
Portland +13.5 The St. Mary's Gaels are a very good team. Still, they aren't immune to bad spots. St. Mary's played at San Francisco last weekend against a quality team, and won what was a close game most of the way. St. Mary's plays on Saturday night at Gonzaga in a huge showdown of powerhouses. This is the sandwich spot that is the tough game to get up for. Portland isn't a special team this year, but they do have a nice homecourt advantage, and the Pilots are catching a big number here. Terry Porter is their head coach, and he has a bright future as a coach. Portland's strong outside shooting makes them dangerous as a home underdog. The Pilots have multiple guys who can light it up on any given night. St. Mary's should win this one, but in a game with a slow tempo, 13.5 is a bunch of points. The spot is the kicker. We'll fade the Gaels here. Back Portland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-11-17	CS-Northridge v. Long Beach State -6.5		89-82	Loss	-108	7 h 41 m	Show
Long Beach State -6.5 The Long Beach State 49ers have been really bad ATS so far this year. Long Beach State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games, and that gives us value here. This Long Beach State team has been really beaten up, and they have played a brutal schedule. They are starting to get healthy, and playing the schedule they have played will help them in the long run. Cal State Northridge is coming off a surprising win, but the Matadors haven't been able to string together good efforts much in the past, and I don't see it happening here either. Long Beach State is the much better team on the defensive end, and that should make a big difference. Long Beach State's Justin Bibbins is just now healthy again, and he is the point guard who makes things go for this team. Long Beach State is undervalued by the books now, so we'll buy in on this spot. A nice trends for this one. Cal State Northridge is only 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. Long Beach State. Take Long Beach State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play
01-07-17	Hawaii v. UC-Irvine -11		56-84	Win	100	11 h 5 m	Show
UC Irvine -11.5 The UC Irvine Anteaters are a totally different team now that Luke Nelson is back. Nelson is easily the team's best player, and his presence will open up far more good looks for the guys around him as well, because the defenses are going to be watching Nelson closely. Hawaii is playing in only their second game of the year outside the state of Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors are way down this year, and I think it will take the books a while to adjust to how much worse this team truly is. They lost so much talent from last year, and it will be evident in this one. UC Irvine is always one of the best teams on defense in the Big West, and I don't think this year will be any different. Irvine plays the better defense and they definitely have the better talent. A couple trends here. Irvine is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Hawaii is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games. Take UC Irvine. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-05-17	Murray State v. Jacksonville State -4		76-63	Loss	-115	12 h 3 m	Show
Jacksonville State -4 The Murray State Racers are way down this year as compared to recent years. This is typically a team to beat in the OVC, but that isn't the case this year. Murray State is just too young and inconsistent. Jacksonville State is a much better team this year than they have been in the recent past. The Gamecocks have a new good head coach in Ray Harper. He is getting the most out of this team. Additionally, this is a team that has been badly banged up in recent years ,and now they have all of their pieces in place. Murray State is coming off a really emotional home win over Tennessee State in a wild game this past Saturday. Jacksonville State has been building momentum and they will have a good home court advantage here. I think Murray State is in a bad spot situationally, and I believe they are still getting too much respect from what they have done in past years. Back Jacksonville State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-04-17	Villanova -1.5 v. Butler		58-66	Loss	-110	19 h 4 m	Show
Villanova -1.5 The #1 team in the nation heads into Butler on Wednesday and Villanova holds value laying the small number here. The Wildcats have dominated this head to head series. Villanova has won all 7 meetings with Butler and enter play here on Wednesday winners of 20 straight games dating back to last season. Senior Josh Hart has been nearly unstoppable this season. Hart is averaging 20.3 points per game, while adding 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists to his resume. He's not only a leader on the offensive end, but his defensive mindset is one of the best in the nation. Here against Butler, the environment will be hostile, but Villanova is much deeper and more threatening team when it comes to attacking. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Wildcats are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. This is a nice matchup for Villanova. Given the low spread here, the Wildcats are worth a move. Back Villanova ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play
01-03-17	Bowling Green v. Akron -9.5		84-89	Loss	-105	4 h 14 m	Show
Akron -9.5 The Bowling Green Falcons were completely dominated by the Akron Zips in all three meetings last year. There's no reason to believe this year will be anything different. Akron is only laying 9.5 points here, and this line is a good value. The Zips beat Bowling Green by 14 points, 15 points, and 35 points in their three meetings last season. Bowling Green hasn't won a game away from home, and that includes losses to San Jose State and South Dakota. The Falcons have played one of the weakest schedules in the country, and that should hurt them now that MAC play is here. Akron challenged themselves with road games at Gonzaga and Creighton in the non-conference slate. They also beat a good Marshall team by 11 points at home earlier this year. The Zips should dominate on the inside with Isaiah Johnson here, and they have a bevy of good guards. A couple trends of note. Bowling Green is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 MAC games. Bowling Green is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 trips to Akron. Take Akron. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play
12-31-16	Drexel +1.5 v. James Madison		67-78	Loss	-115	5 h 26 m	Show
Drexel +1.5 The Drexel Dragons are a slight underdog at James Madison on Saturday. James Madison has been terrible at finishing out games this year. James Madison has won only one game so far this year against a Division One opponent. They won 71-59 against Longwood (yes they are bad) earlier this year. James Madison was beaten at home by UMBC recently, and they were dominated by Richmond as well. The Dukes have some major turnover problems, and those can be very hard to overcome. Drexel is a team on the rise under new coach Zach Spiker. I like his system, and it is clear that players get excited to play for him as well. Spiker has this Drexel team working hard on both sides of the floor. Drexel has already won four games on the road this year, and that is certainly a big benefit. The Dragons are showing solid value here against a lowly James Madison team. Back Drexel. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-30-16	West Virginia v. Oklahoma State +1.5		92-75	Loss	-110	9 h 4 m	Show
Oklahoma State +1.5 The Cowboys welcome in West Virginia Friday and Oklahoma State is a solid move. This is one of those matchups where a lot of people will see the Mountaineers high ranking, but this Cowboys team is no pushover by any means. Oklahoma State is 10-2 entering play and a perfect 6-0 when playing at home. Through those 6 home games, this team is averaging a ridiculous 103 points per game. They're one of the best scoring teams in the nation, as overall they're putting up 93 points per contest. The Cowboys have three weapons to watch for here. Look for Jawun Evans, Jeffrey Carroll, and Phil Forte III to all be the go to guys for Oklahoma State. Some trends to note. Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Cowboys are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. Expect the Cowboys to really come out firing in this one, as their offensive firepower is going to be too much for Oklahoma State to handle. Back Oklahoma State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play
12-29-16	Weber State v. Montana State +4.5		87-75	Loss	-105	5 h 51 m	Show
Montana State +3.5 The Weber State Wildcats are in a really bad sandwich spot here. Weber State just beat rival Utah State on the road. In their next game, they play at Montana. Montana and Weber State battle it out for the top spot in the Big Sky Conference almost every single year. Weber State should have a hard time getting as amped up for this game as the other two. Weber State isn't as good as last year since they lost star center Joel Bolomboy. Jeremy Senglen is a very good guard, but there isn't very much help around him anymore. Montana State is a dangerous team that shoots it extremely well from three-point range. Montana State is coming off some closes losses in recent games, and I think the oddsmakers are a little too down on them. It won't surprise me if Montana State wins this game outright, but I'll gladly take the 3.5 points in what should be a very tightly contested game. Take Montana State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday CBB 8* ATS Play
12-23-16	Arkansas State v. Minnesota -13		75-82	Loss	-110	9 h 2 m	Show
Minnesota -13 The Minnesota Golden Gophers host Arkansas State in a non-conference game on Friday night. Arkansas State certainly has some nice wins this year, but they also have losses to TCU by 23 points and Alabama by 15 points on the road. Minnesota has a really good home court advantage. The Golden Gophers are a totally different team on their home court. Minnesota has been throttling some decent teams at home so far this year. They beat Northern Illinois by 20. They beat Georgia Southern by 37 points. They also beat UT Arlington by 17 points, and UT Arlington is having a great season. Arkansas State had to play at Alabama on Wednesday and now turns around and plays only two days later all the way up in Minnesota. That's some tough travel. Minnesota will be the best defensive team Arkansas State has played this year, and I think the Golden Gophers win by a solid margin here. A couple trends of note. Minnesota is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. the Sun Belt Conference. Minnesota is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play
12-20-16	East Carolina +14 v. NC-Wilmington		71-81	Win	100	4 h 12 m	Show
East Carolina +14 The East Carolina Pirates are coming off an embarrassing 53-35 home loss to College of Charleston. East Carolina has been off since last Thursday, so they've had plenty of time to think about that dreadful performance. East Carolina is a much better team than they showed in that game, and now they play against a team who they know very well. East Carolina and UNC Wilmington aren't very far apart, and these teams have had a lot of close games over the years. I think the oddsmakers have made this line a little too high based on the recent play of both teams. UNC Wilmington is definitely a good team, but laying 14 against a rival like this is too much. UNC Wilmington will win the turnover battle here, but I think East Carolina's very good halfcourt defense will keep them in this game. We'll take advantage of an inflated line in this one. Grab the underdog. Take East Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play
