Sports Picks & Predictions

Kent State +4.5

Kent State (28-6) meets Indiana (22-11) in a rematch from the 2002 Elite Eight. 

Kent State is perhaps one of the most talented mid majors as the champions of the MAC are poised to give the Hoosiers all they can handle. 

The Golden Flashes lean on Malique Jacobs and Sincere Carry, but the cast around them provide so many different weapons for this Kent side. Where they specialize though is on the defensive end. Kent State's Malique Jacobs was one of the tops in the nation in steals and they don't allow many easy looks. 

With Indiana limping into the tournament after falling to Penn State, the Golden Flashes can cause so many issues for Indiana. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Golden Flashes are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Montana State +8.5

Montana State (25-9) meets with Kansas State (23-9) in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. 

Kansas State dropped their last 2 games of the season, including a loss eliminating them from the Big 12 tournament to TCU. Kansas State isn't a team that really overwhelms anyone and they are the kind of team who can certainly be upset.

Montana State is a scrappy team and they will make things so difficult on the boards. They rarely allow opposing teams to get offensive rebounds, as they ranked in the top 30 in the entire nation in defensive rebounds.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. Bobcats are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Bobcats are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 

Back Montana State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Florida Atlantic +2.5

Florida Atlantic (31-3) meets with Memphis (26-8) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

FAU is one of those teams nobody wanted to see here. They play with such confidence on both ends of the floor. The Owls rank near the top in almost every offensive category, as they put up nearly 80 points per game. Combine that with their stellar defense giving up just 65 points per game this is one of those teams who can beat anyone. 

Look for them to turn defense into offense, forcing turnovers out of this Memphis side. 

Some trends to note. Owls are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Owls are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Owls are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a ATS win.

Back Florida Atlantic.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CBB ATS Play

VCU +4.5

VCU (27-7) meets with St. Mary's (26-7) in one of the anticipated matchups when it comes to 5/12 games. 

VCU is one of those teams who can make a deep run as a double digit seed. The Rams won the A-10 and this is a team that does the little things right. They are always crashing the glass, stepping up defensively, and they simply never panic. 

St. Mary's had a great year but just got absolutely obliterated in the WCC Championship Game. It showed off a lot of flaws and this Rams side should be able to expose those.

Some trends to note. Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Rams are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 NCAA Tournament games. Rams are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win.

Back VCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

UC- Santa Barbara +11.5

UC-Santa Barbara (27-7) meets with Baylor (22-10) in the first round on Friday afternoon.

Baylor limps in, losing 4 of their last 6 as they tapered off toward the end of the season. Their issues stemmed on both ends of the floor and UC-Santa Barbara is going to push the tempo on the Bears.

The Gauchos rank 7th in the nation, shooting 49.5% from the field. This team is extremely dangerous as they can catch fire very quickly. 

Some trends to note. Gauchos are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Gauchos are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win. Gauchos are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

Back UC- Santa Barbara. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 6* CBB ATS Play

Penn State +3

Penn State (22-13) battles Texas A&M (25-9) in what figures to be one of the best first round matchups of the tournament. 

Penn State nearly stole the Big Ten Championship as a 10 seed, turning the ball over with under a second to play as they went for a game winning shot. Penn State has been sneaky all season long as this team can really make things difficult for opponents. 

Their ability to attack the rim and create space for shooters is one of the best things they do. A&M struggles with teams like this and the Nittany Lions can cause plenty of problems right from the start.

Some trends to note. Nittany Lions are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss. Nittany Lions are 8-3-2 ATS in the fourth game of a 4-in-7 days situation.

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Tennessee -10

Tennessee (23-10) battles with UL- Lafayette (26-7). 

The Volunteers matchup very well in this spot. They are one of the best defensive teams in the entire nation. Coming into play, they rank 4th in the country in total points against and sit at the top in FG% against and 3PFG% against. 

Lafayette is going to be overwhelmed in this one. 

Look for Tennessee to provide a ton of pressure early in this one and really frustrate this Ragin Cajuns side. 

Some trends to note. Volunteers are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss. Volunteers are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS loss.

Back Tennesseee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Northwestern -1.5

Boise State (24-9) meets with Northwestern (21-11) and it's the Wildcats who have the value.

Boise State is 0-8 in the NCAA Tournament. No matter what that will always creep into the minds of the players. 

Northwestern is the exact kind of team who matches up well with this Boise side. The Wildcats play very slow and they are one of the top defensive teams. They are in each shooters face and they aren't going to give you many 2nd chances on the glass. The Wildcats lean on Boo Buie, who will have the ability to take over this game 

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wildcats are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Back Northwestern.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Iowa +1.5

Iowa (19-12) meets with Auburn (20-11) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 

Iowa is one of those teams that can cause a little bit of havoc. They had an up and down season, but this team is talented and deep. 

The Hawkeyes ranked 20th in the entire nation, putting up over 80 points per game. Iowa isn't shy about pushing the tempo and hoisting up 3 point shots. They have the capabilities of scoring quickly too. We've seen it many times where they can catch fire and extend a lead very quickly. 

Auburn ranked near the bottom in shooting percentage all season long and an early deficit will put a lot of doubt into them. 

Back Iowa. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Maryland +2.5

West Virginia (19-14) meets with Maryland (21-12) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This game will tip things off on Thursday afternoon. 

Maryland has value with the points here.

The Terps have the physicality to match the Mountaineers. Maryland ranks 27th in the entire nation in total defense and that will be the difference here. Look for them to turn defense into offense and steal some easy transition buckets. 

Some trends to note. Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Terrapins are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Terrapins are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Maryland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Oregon -8.5

Oregon (19-14) clashes with Cal-Irvine (23-11) in the first round of the NIT. 

This matchup favors the Ducks in every which way. 

Cal-Irvine just does not have the firepower to keep up in this matchup. They average just 75.1 points per game in a conference that doesn't have much defense. That number will go down even more though with them having to deal with this Oregon size. The Ducks will control the paint on both ends of the floor here, overwhelming Irvine.

Some trends to note. Anteaters are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games. Anteaters are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Ducks are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Fairleigh Dickinson +2.5

Fairleigh Dickinson (19-15) battles with Texas Southern (14-20) in the 2nd #16 seed play in game.

This is a case where FDU is out to prove themselves. They fell in the title game to Merrimack, but since Merrimack isn't eligible for the NCAA Tournament, FDU gets in by default. A lot of backlash was made about this. 

FDU is going to come out with a lot of passion and fire in this game. They are a solid offensive side, averaging 78.3 points per game. Texas Southern was a solid story, running through their conference tournament as huge underdogs, but they still have a lot of flaws, especially on the defensive side.

A trend to note. Tigers are 8-18 ATS in their last 26 games overall. 

Back FDU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Pitt +2

Pittsburgh (21-10) and Mississippi State (20-11) battle in the first play in game on Tuesday night. 

The Panthers showed some bright spots throughout their season as they were able to find success on the offensive end. Pittsburgh put up 76 points per game and held the opposition to under 70 points per contest. 

This is a team that finds their success from dictating the pace. Mississippi State loves to play slower and the Panthers can speed things up a bit on them. The Bulldogs are one of the worst offensive teams in the nation and if they fall behind early, things will be extremely tough on them.

Back Pittsburgh

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Toledo +7

The Rockets (27-7) meet with Michigan (17-15) in the first round of the NIT. 

Motivation is always key here. While the Rockets fell in the MAC Championship game, they still will be thrilled to participate in the NIT and get a chance to take down a Big 10 school. Toledo has one of the best offenses you'll see. They shoot the 3 as good as anyone and their ability to win the battle inside is top notch. 

Michigan meanwhile missed out on the NCAA Tournament and it's tough to see them get up for this game. The Wolverines struggled with Ohio out of the MAC earlier this year and Toledo has all the makings to give this side issues.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Texas A&M Corpus Christi -3.5

Texas A&M Corpus Christi (23-10) battles SE Missouri State (19-16) in the #16 play in game. 

The Islanders have value here laying the points. 

They come in winners in 9 of their last 10 and they've done it with their ability to score. They average over 80 points per game and are such a tough team to stop. They can beat you with their ability to shoot the 3, but also can attack the rim. This is a favorable matchup for them and they should be able to dictate a lot from the start.

Some trends to note. Islanders are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. Islanders are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

Back Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Princeton +3.5

Princeton (20-8, 14-12-0 ATS). has value here versus Yale (21-7, 17-8-1 ATS) on Sunday. Princeton has the weapons to keep up with this Princeton has proven they are a tough team both inside and out as they have a compliment of weapons. 

Look for them to control the tempo of this game, as they know they need to put up points to compete with this Yale side. Princeton will push it in transition and have the ability to take advantage of a Yale team that has issues slowing down teams on the break.

Some trends to consider, the Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Also the Tigers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against an opponent in the Ivy League.

Sincere Carry put up huge stats on Friday night, but had a solid support cast in Thomas and Jacobs. They have the firepower to compete with Toledo and already have a win under their belts against them this year.

The Billikens are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They come in winners in 3 of their last 4 as they routed George Mason in their first round matchup. 

This team is built with a lot of depth and they have the ability to wear teams down. Combine that with the revenge factor in play as this is a chance for them to beat this VCU (25-7, 15-15-2 ATS) side after falling in both regular season matchups.

Vermont -5

We're on Vermont (22-10, 18-12-1 ATS) on Saturday.

Vermont hasn't lost in quite some time and this team is rolling right now. What makes them so special is they're doing it with so many different factors. They have the offensive firepower to overwhelm anyone, while at the same time they play such a high pressured defensive way that opponents don't know what to do.

Vermont is playing with the utmost confidence right now and they're going to come out with a lot of fire after falling to UMass (26-7, 18-11-1 ATS) once this season already. This team hasn't messed around as of late and with their latest 22 point win, they're in a very nice spot.

Some trends to note. Head to head the Underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Billikens are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games, and lastly the Rams are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games.

Last game out Virginia emerged victorious with a score of 68-59 over the Tar Heels. On Thursday, the Tigers secured their third victory over the Wolfpack by defeating them 80-54 in a blowout.

Head to head the Underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

We like Clemson to keep the momentum going regardless of the Cavaliers recent dominance over them. (13 of last 14) A win likely gets Clemson into the Dance. With Clemson being 6-2 in their last 8 neutral site games we're going to ride them here. 

Back Clemson +3.5 to get the job done Friday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -1.5

We're on the Golden Flashes (26-6, 19-10-1 ATS). 

Kent State and Akron clash for a third time this season as this rivalry is always bitter. Kent State took the final meeting on the final day of the regular season and looks for revenge from last year's title game.

Kent is built with a lot of weapons that can match the Akron intensity. This game is won on the defensive side, where Kent State has been able to really force opponents into some issues.

The Spartans (19-11) have value at this number.

Michigan State takes on Ohio State, who has won back to back games in the Big Ten Tourney after an abysmal regular season. 

The Spartans defeated the Buckeyes twice, both games utilizing their physical play down low to really frustrate Ohio State. The fatigue factor should come into play as well, especially given the Spartans wear down opponents.

Some trends to note. Favorite is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Spartans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Friday games.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

We're on Kent State (25-6) in the MAC Quarterfinals on Thursday. 

Kent State comes in as the 2 seed and this team has been one of the best all season long. They did fall to NIU earlier this season, but don't be fooled by that.

Kent State is playing at a high level and their win over Akron in their season finale is just the momentum they need here. Look for Kent State to wear down NIU with their high pressured defense and lean on the MAC Player of the Year in Sincere Carry.

Some trends to note. Huskies are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.Golden Flashes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games.

Back Kent State.

Ohio +1.5

Ohio (18-13, 16-14 ATS) has value here against Ball State (20-11, 15-14 ATS).

OU got hot down the stretch of the season as they went on a nice run to become the 5 seed. The Bobcats are a far different team than they were in the beginning of the season and they've caught fire at the right time. 

We're playing them here as slight underdogs as they matchup well. Their ability to control the paint with their size, but also shoot the 3 will be a lot for Ball State to handle.

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Bobcats are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Florida (16-15,15-16 ATS) is the move here. 

The Gators take on Mississippi State (20-11, 16-14-1 ATS) and they matchup well in this one. The Gators ability to attack the rim is going to be the key. Florida is at their best when they attack and crash the boards. 

The Bulldogs have had issues with teams built like Florida. Look for Florida to put an emphasis on winning the battle in the paint.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back the Gators +3.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

LSU -1.5

The Tigers (13-18, 10-20-1 ATS) are the most confusing team you'll see this season. After a hot start this team proceeded to just lose and come keep on losing. A lone win over Vanderbilt a few weeks back is the highlight of their recent games, but don't overlook them here.

This is a team that won't go away quietly. After winning just game in SEC play, they're going to throw everything they have here to play spoiler. They fell to Georgia by just 2 points earlier this season and they have the ability to play just as physical as them in the paint.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. Bulldogs are 20-41 ATS in their last 61 games overall.

Back LSU.

Ohio State (13-18, 11-20-0 ATS) are in the midst of an awful season and they just haven't had anything going. They've had plenty of struggles on both ends of the floor and this Wisconsin team is going to just wear them out. 

The Badgers are notorious for playing slow and really going directly at teams in the post. They have the edge on both ends of the floor and should be able to frustrate the Buckeyes.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Buckeyes are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games overall.

Back Wisconsin.

Syracuse may be having a down season, but they have the coaching leadership, the home court advantage here. 

The Orange just knocked off Wake Forest (18-13, 16-15-0 ATS) by 9 and they're in a spot where they need to rattle off a few wins to even consider themselves a bubble team. Look for them to come out with a ton of energy as they need this game to be won with forcing turnovers and getting easy transition buckets.

Some trends to note. Demon Deacons are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Demon Deacons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

North Dakota State (16-16, 15-15 ATS) shot lights out in the semi finals as they knocked off rival South Dakota State to advance. The tables are turned here, as Oral Roberts is not only much better defensively, but they are tops in the conference in total offense.

Oral Roberts averages 84 points per game which actually sits 3rd in the entire nation. They love to push the tempo and they will wear down this NDSU side.

Some trends to note. Golden Eagles are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. Bison are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.

Wisconsin Milwaukee dominated Wright State in their quarterfinal matchup while Cleveland State had to come from behind with 1 minute left to force overtime and knock off Robert Morris. The Panthers defeated the Vikings in both matchups this season and have a lot of confidence heading into this one. 

Look for them to turn this into a physical game, where they will control the paint. 

Back Wisconsin Milwukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

SMU +11

SMU (10-20, 11-17-2 ATS) has value at this number.

The Mustangs always tend to give the Bearcats (19-11, 19-10 ATS) a run for their money when these two teams meet. The underdog has covered in 4 of the last 5 between these two sides and this one has the makings of a game where SMU can turn it into a grind. 

SMU has gone 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. They've played much better as of late and even took Cincinnati to the wire earlier this season.

Expect them to slow the game down and work the clock, which plays into their advantage as a whole.

Some trends to note, Mustangs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, while the Bearcats are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Head to head the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Clemson -8

The Tigers (21-9, 15-14-1 ATS) have flown under the radar a bit. 

They have value here laying the number. Clemson comes in with just 1 home loss this season and they have really worn opposing teams out. They are right in your face defensively and that will be the case here as Notre Dame will have a ton of issues creating space.

Look for this game to be a grind, where Clemson turns defense into offense and has ND frustrated all night long.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Tigers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Clemson.

Texas A&M +1.5

The Aggies (22-8, 22-10-0 ATS) are the move here over Alabama (26-4, 16-13-1 ATS). 

With the season winding down, this is a chance for A&M to really boost their resume. They have just 1 loss at home on the season and it's made a huge difference for them playing inside this arena.

A&M boasts a suffocating defense and that will cause Alabama some fits. 

Some trends to note, Crimson Tide are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Crimson Tide are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Alabama's road woes, combined with the Aggies ability to win at home is the difference.

TCU -2

We're on TCU (19-10, 15-13-1 ATS) on Wednesday night as they welcome in Texas (22-7, 12-17-0 ATS). 

TCU had Texas on the ropes earlier this season, but blew a huge lead only to fall at the end. They have the weapons to compete with this Texas side and with home court, they are worthy of a nice move.

Texas is just 4-5 on the road, while the Horned Frogs have gone 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games. Look for this capacity crowd to be rocking and for TCU to feed off the energy.

Some trends to note. Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan State -3.5

The Spartans (17-11, 14-14-0 ATS) have value at this number. 

Nebraska has been a struggle this season, but they are in the midst of a 3 game winning streak which is super rare for them. However, it benefits us as we get MSU at a lower number.

The Spartans throttled Nebraska already once this season by 18 and they are in a nice bounce back spot. They fell in OT to Iowa and are now in need of a win to solidify their resume. Look for them to put an emphasis on controlling the paint on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Spartans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss. Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

We're on the Broncos (22-7, 14-12-2 ATS) on tuesday night. 

San Diego State (23-5, 12-13-2 ATS) and Boise State clash in a huge MWC game that has huge implications for seeding in the conference tournament. 

The Broncos are 13-1 at home and have really been a force inside this building. With a huge crowd expected to be on hand, it's going to add to the value with this Boise side. Look for the Broncos to lean on their defense, which is one of the best in the entire conference. They turn offense into defense better than anyone and will put an emphasis on that.

A trend to note. Aztecs are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games. 

Back Boise State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Bowling Green -3.5

The Falcons (10-19, 11-16-0 ATS) are worth a move. 

Bowling Green has played much better basketball at home versus on the road this year. EMU (8-21, 13-15-0 ATS) have been atrocious on many levels here in the 2022-2023 season. 

They rank near the bottom in many defensive categories, not just in the MAC but in the entire nation. Combine that with their struggles on the offensive end and they are ready for the offseason to hit. 

Some trends to note. Eagles are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win. Eagles are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Bowling Green.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Iowa State -3.5

We're on Iowa State (17-11, 14-14-0 ATS) on Monday night.

The Cyclones welcome in the Mountaineers (16-13, 14-15-0 ATS) who had to deal with Kansas on Saturday. West Virginia went right to the wire with the Jayhawks, only to get called for a travel on the final possession. 

Iowa State needs this win for many reasons, but with the quick turnaround after West Virginia's tough game Saturday, they are in a good spot at home. The Cyclones have played well inside this arena and should be able to dictate a lot here.

Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Mountaineers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Iowa State.

Oklahoma State +1.5

We're on Oklahoma State (16-13, 14-15-0 ATS) at home here. Baylor (21-8, 15-13-1 ATS) comes in after their huge win over Texas on Saturday This quick turnaround to hit the road and take on a very tough Oklahoma State team is going to cause some issues. 

Oklahoma State is 11-4 at home and they've played extremely well in this building. Oklahoma State is right in the middle of the log jam with Baylor in the Big 12 standings. Look for them to come out with a purpose early and feed off this home crowd's energy, as they can catch Baylor in a bit of a lull with this quick turnaround.

Some trends to note, Cowboys are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.  Bears are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Back Oklahoma State.

Monday 7* CBB ATS Play

Illinois -4 

Illinois has the value of laying the points.  It’s time to start fading Ohio state. The buckeyes have been an absolute mess as of late and they continue to struggle against even mediocre teams at this point. The buckeyes have been losing in every way and getting dominated left and right.  

This is the spot where we're getting a better team laying small number. Illinois is much more physical and is playing with far more confidence right now. Ohio State lacks many things on both ends of the floor in Illinois is simply not the team if you want to deal with right now. Look for them to impose their will early and control. Everything from start to finish. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Fighting Illini are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Back Illinois. 

Good luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Gonzaga -5

This is a pure revenge game for the Zags.

They had the game won in St. Mary's a few weeks back, only to falter late. Gonzaga has been the class of the WCC for a while now, but the Gaels are starting to really even things up. This is a chance for Gonzaga to restore order. 

We've also seen the home team and favorite dominate this series. Coming into Saturday, the home team is 6-0-2 ATS in the last 8 games and the favorite has gone 3-1-2 ATS. Look for Gonzaga to push the tempo on St. Mary's and get them out of their rhythm.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Kent State -11

The Golden Flashes are worth the move on Saturday.

Kent State fell to Ball State earlier this week and now sit 2nd in the MAC. They have their chances here down the stretch to still capture the one seed. It starts here against a Bowling Green team that is just 17-36-2 ATS in their last 55 home games.

Kent State has been a solid bounce back team as well following their losses this season. Look for them to come out with a purpose early and keep their foot on the gas.

Some trends to note, Golden Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Golden Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Clemson +6.5

This is too many points in this spot.

Clemson has continued to be a force in the ACC and they matchup well with NC State. The Tigers have the weapons to keep up here and potentially even steal this game outright.

Clemson comes in 10-4 ATS in their last 14 against teams with winning records. They tend to play up to the competition as well. NC State has also been a fade at home. Coming into Saturday, the Wolfpack are just 13-30-3 ATS in their last 46 home games.

Some trends to note here. Wolfpack are 10-23-1 ATS in their last 34 games following a straight up win.  Wolfpack are 6-16-1 ATS in their last 23 games following a ATS win.

Back Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Southern Miss 

We're on Southern Miss here on the road.

Southern Miss comes into action a solid backing overall. They've covered in 7 of their last 10 games and they've hit in 9 of the last 13 against teams with losing records. 

Texas State has dropped 3 of their last 4 and they have had a ton of issues on the defensive end. They are one of the worst in the conference when it comes to slowing teams down and they're going to have their hands full with Southern Miss. 

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games. Bobcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Southern Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -2

The Buckeyes (11-16, 8-19 ATS) are worth a move here at this line.

Ohio State has been one of the most disappointing teams not just in the Big 10, but in the entire nation. They have struggled (1-9 L10) and will likely be sitting March Madness out unless they put together a huge run right now. 

It can start here against Penn State, who is just 2-7 in their on the road and 4-6 in their L10. The Nittany Lions (16-11, 14-11-2 ATS) have covered in just 1 of their last 5 road contests as well. The Buckeyes can expose the middle of the floor on each end of the floor where they should be able to control the paint. Penn State has issues with teams built like Ohio State and this one should be no different.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Nittany Lions are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Wisconsin +1.5

We're on the Badgers here, at home. 

The Badgers welcome in Iowa to a packed house in a huge Big 10 battle. Iowa just got completely dominated by a Northwestern team, that plays very similar to what Wisconsin does. The Badgers are going to wear this Iowa team down on both ends of the floor.

Look Wisconsin to turn up the physical play and really go right at the Hawkeyes in the paint.

Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Hawkeyes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Back Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Vanderbilt -2.5

Vanderbilt (15-13, 14-14 ATS) is on a nice run right now. They come in winners of 5 straight as they are putting together a run at the perfect time. 

They are doing everything right during this winning streak. They're getting quality shots, controlling the paint, and really causing havoc on the defensive end. They catch LSU at the right time here as well. The Tigers (12-15, 8-19 ATS) have dropped 14 straight and their struggles have came from so many different directions. 

LSU lacks any sort of confidence right now and Vanderbilt can use that to their advantage here.

Some trends to note.Some trends to note, Vanderbilt are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on the road. LSU are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games, and 0-10 SU in their last 10 games, plus LSU is 0-7 SU in their last 7 games at home.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Air Force -2

Air Force is the move here. 

The Falcons welcome in Fresno State, who has been atrocious on the road. The Bulldogs are just 3-8 away from their own confines and have had issues getting any sort of momentum when playing on the road. 

Air Force has fed off teams with losing road records. The Falcons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games when playing teams with sub .500 road records. Look for them to come out of the gates firing early in this one, asserting themselves in the paint on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS win. Falcons are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games overall.

Back Air Force.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -3.5

We're on Kent here, laying the points.

Kent State sits at the top spot in the MAC and they can really help their cause here against the 4th seeded Ball State Cardinals. 

Kent throttled Ball State earlier this season as the Golden Flashes are playing extremely well right now. They've been able to lean on their top scorers in Sincere Carry and Malique Jacobs and their defense is one of the best in the MAC. Look for them to continue their high pressured defensive ways and overwhelm Ball State.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Golden Flashes are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Virginia Tech -2

The Hokies are worth a move here. 

Virginia Tech has a chance here to put a nice resume building win on their plates. They welcome in the ranked Hurricanes, who really have only slipped up on the road this season. They have seen 4 of their losses come away from home and have looked sluggish at times. 

Virginia Tech has covered 4 of their last 5 home games overall and have 2 of their last 3 entering Tuesday. They shoot the ball at a 48% clip, which ranks 39th in the entire nation. Their shot selection is one of the best and they will wear opponents down looking for the open shot.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Virginia Tech.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Louisville +19

We're grabbing the points here on Monday night in the Louisville Cardinals (4-23, 11-16 ATS) vs. Duke Blue Devils (19-8, 10-17 ATS) matchup.

Over the last three games, the Cardinals have displayed a remarkable improvement, and they have successfully covered the spread in five out of their last six games, including a straight up WIN last game out versus fourth place Clemson. Plus, El Ellis has been scoring an average of 27.3 points per game over the last 3. Duke aims to secure their third consecutive victory and recently claimed a 77-55 triumph over Syracuse on the road last Saturday. They are undefeated at home.

Some trends to consider, Head to head the Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Blue Devils are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

Not saying the Cardinals win of course, but they'll play hard and keep it within the number. Play on the Cardinals +19.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State

The Horizon League is wide open this season and Cleveland State has been the surprise team. They sit tied for second with NKU as these teams battle it out on Sunday in Cleveland.

The Vikings are a solid 11-3 at home and have played exceptionally well. They dominated Wright State on Friday night and will look to cap off their home regular season portion with another huge win. 

The Vikings have so many different playmakers stepping up as they're beating teams with their inside and outside game. Combine that with their high pressured defense and they are a tough team to crack.

Some trends to note. Norse are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Norse are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Cleveland State.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Illinois-Chicago +1.5

3pm ET Valparaiso Beacons (10-17, 12-15 ATS) take on the Illinois-Chicago Flames (9-18, 14-11 ATS). Valpo comes in losers of 3 of their last 4, as have the Flames only defeating Evansville 70-61 back on Feb. 4th. The Flames are (6-7 at home this season) but 7-4-1 ATS at home this season.

Valparaiso has been scoring an average of 68.3 points per game, but their defensive efforts have been lackluster as they are allowing an average of 73.7 points per game. Valparaiso is 5-9 ATS on the road. Valparaiso are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games on the road, and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Sunday.

UIC are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on a Sunday, and they have been scoring an average of 66.3 points per game, but their defense has also been struggling, giving up an average of 72.3 points per game. Despite their defensive struggles, UIC has performed relatively well at home, preventing their opponents from scoring more than 70 points per game. 

This is a late release. When most zig, I'll zag, the public is backing Valparaiso, so we're on the other side. As a result, I'm expecting UIC to have a great chance containing Valparaiso's offense on Sunday to keep this one close.

Play on the Flames ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* LATE RELEASE ATS Play

NC State -2

The UNC Tar Heels (16-10, 8-18 ATS) take on the NC State Wolfpack (20-7, 12-13-2 ATS) today at 1pm ET at the PNC Arena. The Tar Heels come into this one 2-6 on the road. The Wolfpack are 13-1 at home straight up. 

On Jan 21, the first game between these two teams ended in a 80-69 victory for UNC in Chapel Hill. North Carolina, has been struggling with a 30.6 percent success rate in 3-point shooting, placing them last in the ACC.

NC State, with a record of 20-7 and 10-6, is about to embark on a three-game stretch at home. The Wolfpack's recent performance has been a mixed bag since entering the national rankings. They've won against BC but lost to #8 Virginia and Syracuse. 

Some trends to note, the Tar Heels are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Wolfpack are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games. 

It is noteworthy that in these two teams' recent six meetings, the home team has won against the spread five times, AND the favorite has covered the spread in all four of the last four encounters.

Back the Wolfpack -2.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

BYU +10

This is too many points in here in this WCC matchup. 

BYU is a very gritty team. They will make you work extremely hard on both ends of the floor and really wear the opposition down. As the game goes on, you'll continue to see them go into the paint more and more. 

That will certainly cause this Gaels team a lot of issues, as they have had their hands full with teams who love. to attack the rim. Look for this game to turn into a grind, with BYU keeping it close throughout.

Some trends to note.  Cougars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Saturday games. Cougars are 36-17-1 ATS in their last 54 games following a ATS loss.

Back BYU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Providence -5

We'e on Providence over Villanova in this spot.

Providence is unbeaten at home this season, coming in with a perfect 15-0 mark. They've beaten teams with their dominant play inside and their ability to turn defense into offense.

Villanova just isn't the same team as they've been in the past. They are just 13-13 and have struggled ATS. Against winning teams, they are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 cases. Providence has a lot of momentum and will really be able to overwhelm the Wildcats in this one.

Some trends to note. Friars are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Friars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.

Providence has been very profitable and this is a nice spot for them.

Back Providence.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Gamecocks +7.5

1pm ET the South Carolina Gamecocks (9-17, 13-13 ATS) take on the LSU Tigers (12-14, 8-18 ATS) in Baton Rouge. 

This is the equivalent of a crap sandwich, but for betting purposes it's great. There is a ton of value in betting on the Gamecocks, and that's what we're doing on Saturday. LSU is 1-12 in the SEC, have lost 13 consecutive games after a 2-pt loss to Georgia on Tuesday. December 28th is the last time LSU won a game.

The Gamecocks also defeated LSU 77-75 in February 2022. Recent statistics suggest that the Gamecocks could make this game more competitive than expected.

Some trends to note, Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Tigers are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Overall, LSU is still the stronger team (barely) and should win this game at home. However, the Gamecocks' recent ATS success on the road and their ability to keep games close suggest that they will cover.

Play on the Cocks +7.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Indiana -4.5

Indiana has the value here laying the points.

This is a prime bounce back spot. Indiana played abysmal in Northwestern earlier this week and yet found themselves tied with just seconds to go before allowing the go ahead bucket.

Now, they return home where they are nearly unbeatable. Indiana is 13-1 inside this building and they have beaten some top teams here. Look for them to get off to a fast start here, especially after burying themselves in Northwestern. 

Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hoosiers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Siena -2

9pm ET tipoff. Quinnipiac (17-9, 12-12-1 ATS) vs. Siena (17-9, 15-10-1 ATS) in Metro Atlantic Athletic conference action on Friday night. This line opened at -3.5 in some locations, so we're getting better value now at -2 on Siena. Plus the favorite in this matchup is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 head to head.

The Bobcats come into this one losers of three straight, and have they've lost the last 5 of 6 versus Siena, and Siena has won 8 of their last 11 at home. McCollum and Eley are back from injury, and last game out the two contributed in a big way as the Saints took down Marist. In their last matchup versus the Bobcats on Dec. 30th, Quinnipiac won 83-76.

Some trends to note, Bobcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Siena are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Friday games.

Play on the Saints -2.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State -1.5

We're on the Vikings here, laying the small number. 

Cleveland State (16-11, 13-12 ATS) continues to surprise everyone in the Horizon League. After losing their head coach and essentially their entire roster, they've built a solid season and are now poised to battle for one of the top spots in the Horizon League.

They took down Wright State (16-11, 15-10 ATS) on the road earlier this year and come in off a huge win over Youngstown State. They sit 10-3 inside the Wolstein Center and they've covered their last 5 games when playing a team with a winning record.

It's been someone new almost every night for them that steps up and look for that to continue today. This team is built with both a solid inside and out presence and they match up well with this Wright State side.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Vikings are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Loyola Marymount +8.5

We're on Loyola Marymount here with the points.

This team has been undervalued a bit here out in the WCC. They have gone 11-2 at home this season and have played some of the upper competition very tough. 

Gonzaga meanwhile does continue to find ways to win, but it hasn't been pretty.  They have played many games close and failed to cover some big spreads. This is going to be the kind of game where Loyola can feed off a big crowd in a small arena. It'll be loud and they'll be able to keep things close.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 6-19-3 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight up win. Bulldogs are 5-17-4 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Loyola Marymount.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Drexel PK

The UNCW Seahawks (18-7, 15-9 ATS) take on the Drexel Dragons (14-12, 14-11 ATS) Thursday in a 7pm tip-off in Philadelphia. UNCW & Drexel are both 6-4 in their last 10. 

Drexel comes into this matchup sporting an 8-3-1 ATS record at home, while UNCW is 6-5-1 ATS away. While this is a big game for both teams I just feel like breakout star Amari Williams presents a matchup problem for UNCW. Dynamic and versatile, he can do it all. He has the ability to create his own shots, and finish at the rim, and he's a tenacious defender. He can control this game.

Some trends to note, Seahawks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Drexel are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Head to head the home team is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 matchups.

If you can find it, we're seeing this line moving to a PK, grab that if you can!

Play on Drexel PK.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

UC-Riverside -1

UC Riverside (15-10, 13-11 ATS) is set to face off against LBSU (13-11, 11-13 ATS) on Wednesday night. The Highlanders have a home record of 7-3, and during their last meeting, they outscored LBSU 73-72.

Long Beach State has struggled with a 1-5 record against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 and a 1-8-1 ATS record in their last 10 games after a spread win.

Meanwhile, UC Riverside boasts a 13-5 ATS record in their last 18 games after a spread loss and a 13-6 ATS record in their last 19 games after a straight-up loss.

Bet the Highlanders -1

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday's 6* CBB ATS Play

Marquette -5.5

We're on Marquette, laying the points. 

Three of Xavier's losses this season have come on the road. They've had issues with teams that can play at their pace. Marquette is a prime example of that, putting up nearly 82 points per game. They can go toe to toe with Xavier's speed and shoot the ball 5th best in the entire nation.

Marquette has just one loss this season at home, as this is one of the toughest places to play in. Look for them to feed off the home crowd energy and get out of the gates early.

Some trends to note. Golden Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Golden Eagles are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win.

Back Marquette.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan +1.5 (Love +2)

We're on Michigan here, grabbing the small number.

Michigan (14-11, 12-12-1 ATS) is going to have to start padding a resume sooner or later here. The Wolverines fell to Indiana by one and likely sit on the bubble right now looking in.

This is a spot where they matchup well with this Wisconsin (14-10, 10-14 ATS) side. Michigan is just physical, if not more than the Badgers. They can go toe to toe with them in the paint and should be able to dictate a lot around the rim. 

The Underdog has also dominated this series. Over the last 24 meetings,  we've seen the underdog cover 17 times. Some other trends to note. Wolverines are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Wolverines are 38-16-2 ATS in their last 56 games following a ATS loss.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Providence +2.5

On Tuesday, #18 Creighton (17-8, 12-13 ATS) will face #24 Providence (18-7, 15-10 ATS) in Rhode Island as they aim to continue their ascent in the Big East standings. Creighton has won eight consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Providence fell to fourth place after a 73-68 loss to St. John's on Saturday, holding an 18-7 record and a 10-4 conference record. With a really tough loss versus St. John's last game out I expect the Friars to come out with some intensity tonight.

Bluejays are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Friars are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Friars are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Head to head the Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

We're on Providence tonight. Grab the points.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Play on North Carolina -4.5.

Miami Hurricanes (20-5, 5-4 on the road, 15-10 ATS, 7-3 L10) take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (16-9, 11-1 at home, 8-16-1 ATS, 6-4 L10) on Monday.

Tonight's matchup is not a friendly location for the Canes. They have not recorded a victory since 2018 in Chapel Hill. The Hurricanes are facing a determined and driven team in the Tar Heels, who are playing with a sense of urgency to secure their place in the Madness. 

Trends to note, Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, 15-1 SU in their last 16 games at home, and 5-1 SU in last 6 games when playing Miami.

We're on the Tar Heels -4.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Wichita State -6.5

The Shockers have value laying the points at home. 

Wichita State has been one of the best defensive teams in the conference heading into Sunday. They are giving up just 66.7 points per game, which ranks in the top tier in the nation as well.

SMU has struggled as of late as this team lacks a true scorer who can take control. Look for them to have a lot of issues here as this Shockers defense is suffocating. 

Some trends to note. Shockers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Shockers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Wichita State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kentucky 

Pepperdine +8

We're on Pepperdine here, grabbing the points.

BYU comes in just 2-4 in road situations as they've had issues playing away from their confines.  It's been a combination of a few things, but they've struggled to put together complete performances from start to finish on the road.

Pepperdine is a tricky team to deal with as they can come at teams in spurts. Look for them to establish their presence inside on both ends of the floor early in this one, putting a lot of pressure on BYU.

A trend to note. The Underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Back Pepperdine.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Toledo +2.5

This is a let down spot for Akron.

After beating their rivals, Kent State, and taking the lead in the MAC, they welcome in a very tough Toledo team. Nobody is talking about the Rockets, who sit right behind Akron and Kent in the standings. 

Toledo plays quickly and has so many weapons offensively can that can cause issues. Look for them to spread the floor and control the pace here, as they can get Akron scrambling on the defensive end.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Miami -2.5

We're on the Hurricanes, laying the points here.

Duke comes in off an emotional win over North Carolina last time out. The quick turnaround to now have to go into Miami and take on a very physical team is not going to be easy. The Hurricanes are undefeated at home this season, while Duke is just 2-4 on the road. 

Combine that with Miami going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and there is a lot of value here with the Canes. Duke has struggled to cover the number themselves, coming in just 1-6 ATS in their last 7.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Blue Devils are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Houston -11.5

The Cougars are going to come out with a lot of fire here. 

Houston was upset by Temple earlier this season in a game that almost seemed like a complete fluke. The Cougars shot horribly throughout and had nothing going at the rim. 

Flipping the script here, the Cougars have covered in 7 of the last 8 road games. They have plenty of momentum on their side as well, coming in off wins in 3 straight since that loss. Look for them to try and make a statement early on here and assert their presence.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 24-11 ATS in their last 35 games overall. Cougars are 42-20 ATS in their last 62 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kentucky -5

The Wildcats are turning the tides on their season and it couldn't have come at a better time. 

Kentucky has won 5 of their last 6 as they continue to try and pad their resume for the month of March. They've been able to flip the script thanks in large part to their ability to put the clamps down defensively. They're getting some timely stops and overall are holding the opposition to low shooting percentages. 

They matchup well with Florida, who has struggled at times on the offensive end. Kentucky will turn up the pressure, especially early, trying to set the tone.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Indiana -1

We're on the home side here in this Top 25 matchup. 

Indiana will have a capacity crowd ready to rock here as they welcome in the number 1 team in the nation. Indiana has been superb at home this season and they are in the midst of playing some of their best basketball of the season despite throwing up a clunker at Maryland. 

The Hoosiers have covered in 19 of their last 28 home games overall and they make things miserable for opposing teams here. Averaging 78 points per game this season, Indiana has the playmakers to go toe to toe with just about any team.

Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hoosiers are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 home games.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Green Bay +4.5

We're on Green Bay with the points.

IUPUI and Green Bay are two of the worst teams in the entire nation, so don't expect much in this matchup. With that in mind though, grabbing the points is worth the move in this case.

IUPUI has been one of the worst programs in the recent years and laying any sort of points with them is just a tough thing to do. Green Bay does have just 2 wins themselves, but one of those was against this IUPUI team by 7. 

Look for a slowly played game that should be close throughout as neither of these teams have the capabilities of blowing anyone out.

Some trends to note. Phoenix are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Phoenix are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game.

Back Green Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Oklahoma -3.5

We're on the Sooners here, laying the points. 

This rivalry has been dominated by the home side and the favorite in recent meetings. Coming into play on Wednesday, the Home team is 21-8-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings and the favorite is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

The Sooners come in off their most impressive game of the season as well, where they thrashed #2 Alabama. This team has the confidence right now and will have the home crowd's energy behind them.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

10* *RARE* Top Play

Indiana -4.5

The Hoosiers have tremendous value here.

Ohio State does come in off a win, but this team still has a lot of flaws following their 5 game losing streak. They have been abysmal on the road as well. Entering Saturday, the Buckeyes are just 1-5 on the road. 

Indiana is always a tough environment to play in as they feed off the home crowd energy. The Hoosiers are also 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Look for Indiana to get off to a fast start and have Ohio State reeling in the early going. We've seen the home team dominate this head to head series, covering in 12 of the last 14 matchups.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Florida Gators +4.5

The Gators are worth the move here, grabbing the points.

Florida has been a profitable team as of late. They come in covering their last 5 games overall and have hit in their last 4 road contests.

Florida leans heavily on their defense, which is one of the best in the conference. They allow just 65.1 points per game as their suffocating defense typically won't give up many 2nd or 3rd chances for opposing teams. 

Look for Florida to turn this into a grind of a game, which is a very different style that the Wildcats do not want to play in.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Gators are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Xavier +5.5

This is too many points in this spot. 

Xavier is being undervalued a lot here as this team has proven they can compete with just about anyone. They come into play with just 4 losses and knocked off a very good Connecticut team last time out.

They sit 8th in the entire nation, averaging 84.0 points per game. They aren't shy about hoisting up quick shots and have the ability to score in bunches. Creighton allows opposing teams to shoot 43% from the field and this Xavier side will feed off of that.

Some trends to note. Underdog is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings. Musketeers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Xavier.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -11.5

Kent is in a nice bounce back spot here on Friday. After getting a lot of national attention, they fell to lowly Northern Illinois on the road Tuesday night.

Kent State is still the best in the MAC and they have remained undefeated at home this season. They also have been profitable bouncing back after a loss. They have covered 4 of their last 5 games in such situations. 

With so many different scoring weapons, Kent should be able to dictate a lot here on Friday.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 home games. Golden Flashes are 25-8-1 ATS in their last 34 games overall.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Youngstown State -3.5

We're on the Penguins here in this huge Horizon League battle.

Youngstown State and Milwaukee are in the group that sits amongst the top of the Horizon League. The crammed top of the standings will likely be separated here as we will get a lot of the teams playing each other like this.

Youngstown State is one of the toughest teams to stop in the league. They are averaging nearly 85 points per game and they are shooting at the 5th best clip in the nation. 

They are far too powerful for this Milwaukee side. Look for them to play at a very quick tempo and have them on their heels in this one. The Panthers simply are not built to play at this fast of a pace.

Back Youngstown State.;

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State

We're on the Buckeyes here, at home Saturday.

Ohio State is going to have to kick it into gear. This Buckeyes side has dropped five straight and they sit at the bottom of the Big Ten. With January winding down, they have to figure some things out here and start padding their resume for March.

This Iowa side would give them momentum and a good win as they continue to climb up the standings themselves. After a sluggish few weeks, Iowa has rattled off 4 straight wins themselves. 

Ohio State will put an emphasis on the defensive end and turning defense into offense. They are at their best when they can force turnovers or tough shots that lead to fast break points.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kansas -6.5

We're on Kansas here as they continue their extremely hard run on their schedule. 

They'll welcome another opponent in the Top 25, as #13 TCU comes to Kansas. Both teams are looking to rebound after mid week losses. Kansas has continued to play physical opponents in games that have seemed to come right down to the wire. That will actually benefit them here as this 'TCU team is extremely physical and comes right at you. 

Kansas ranks near the top of the Big 12 in points per game, putting up nearly 78. They have a few 3 point shooters, but a majority of their game is going to be played inside and on the boards. They matchup well with TCU, as they will be able to really crash the offensive glass and work for 2nd and 3rd chances.

Back Kansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Northern Kentucky -4.5

We're on NKU here laying the points at home. 

Cleveland State started their campaign by losing to a Division 2 team. Things have improved for the Vikings drastically, but this Northern Kentucky side is far too good for them in this matchup.

NKU is a solid 9-2 in home situations and they are one of the best in the conference on the defensive side of the ball. Coming into play, they have given up just 64.5 points per game. That actually ranks in the top tier in the entire nation. Look for their high pressure defense to simply be too much for the Vikings here on Thursday. 

With home court and the advantages on both sides of the ball, the value sits with the home side.

Back Northern Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

TCU +2

We're on TCU with the points.

West Virginia doesn't have the same firepower as we've seen in the past. They've had issues on both ends of the floor this season and they don't matchup well with this TCU side.

The Horned Frogs are a very physical side that loves to attack the rim. West Virginia struggles with teams who like to work the ball inside and that will cause them a ton of issues on Wednesday night. Look for TCU to assert themselves with post play early, setting the tone for this one.

Some trends to note. Horned Frogs are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Horned Frogs are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kansas -1.5

We’re on the Jayhawks (16-1, 5-0 Big 12) in this rivalry affair. 

Kansas comes in with just one loss of the season as they continue to find ways to win games late. That  that figures to be important here is this one could come down to the wire as well. 

Kansas not only has the playmakers to hit big shot, but they also have the ability to crash the boards and come up with some big offensive rebounds. That’s been the key as of late for them as they’ve come up with some huge rebounds and are able to get the second and third chances at the rim. 

Look for them to go right at Kansas State (15-2, 4-1 Big 12) in a game that will turn into a grind it out kind of mode. It’s such situations, these kind of games will always favor Kansas. 

Some trends to note. Kansas is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing Kansas State, and 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Kansas State. Wildcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Head to head the favorite is 37-14-2 ATS in the last 53 meetings.

Back Kansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Clemson -1.5

The Tigers have value at home on Saturday. 

Duke has been a completely different team on the road versus at home. They have struggled at times on both sides of the ball when playing away and this Clemson team is very physical. They matchup well with Duke as they have the inside presence to control the paint on both ends. 

Clemson also is 9-0 in home situations coming into Saturday. They will feed off this home crowd energy and have Duke on their heels early in this one.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Youngstown State -3.5

The Penguins have value here laying the small number.

This Youngstown State team is deep. They come in winners in 6 of their last 7 and they've picked up a lot of steam as of late. Offensively, they are one of the best in the Horizon League and also their offensive numbers sit near the top in the entire nation. 

Coming into Saturday, the Penguins are putting up 84.9 points per game, which ranks 8th in the nation. Look for them to put their foot on the gas early against an Oakland team that simply does not have the firepower to keep up.

Some trends to note. Penguins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Penguins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Back Youngstown State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

IUPUI +12.5

We're rolling with IUPUI and the points. 

Cleveland State is not a team that will blow many other teams out. They took on a lowly Green Bay team last week and managed to sneak away with just a 5 point win. The Vikings aren't a team that will overwhelm very many. 

Look for this game to turn into a very slow grind. That will play into the favor of IUPUI, who plays at a very slow tempo. 

Some trends to note. Vikings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Jaguars are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.

This is a fade play on Cleveland State.

Back IUPUI.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Yale +2.5

We're on the Bulldogs here on the road. 

Yale has been a very profitable team, especially on the road. They come into Friday 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road contests. 

Yale and Cornell figure to be battling it out near the top of the Ivy League and they always tend to provide some solid, close matchups. That favors us here with the points, where Yale can very much take this game outright. They rank 8th in the entire nation when it comes to defensive points against and will lean on that here Friday.

Some trends to note. Big Red are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Bulldogs are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games.

Back Yale.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Youngstown State PK 

We're on the Penguins here Thursday night in Detroit.  

Youngstown State is catching some fire as they sit with 12 wins on the year and come in after a 105 points performance. This offense is one of the best in the conference, as they can hit teams both with their shooters or inside presence.  

Detroit has been one of the worst in the nation on the defensive end and this Penguins' offense is going to be able to pick them apart. Look for YSU to push the tempo on the Titans and really look to find open shooting lanes for their shooters in transition. 

Some trends to note. Penguins are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games. Penguins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 

Back Youngstown State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Duke -7.5

We're on Duke here, laying the points. 

Duke has been a completely different team at home versus on the road. They come in a perfect 8-0 in such situations and have played much better basketball on both sides of the ball. 

The Blue Devils come into Tuesday one of the best in the nation on the defensive side, which has been a huge key to their success. Duke has averaged just 62.5 points against per game, which is one of the tops in the nation. Look for them to continue their high pressured defensive ways here against Pitt, who is already a low scoring side as it is.

With the home crowd and the energy Duke plays with here, the value sits with them on Wednesday night.

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State  

The Golden Flashes have value here at home. 

This is a huge test for Kent State as they look to make a statement in the MAC early. Toledo figures to be right near the top with Kent State when it's all said and done and the Golden Flashes look to continue their solid run. Kent State has handled Western Michigan and Miami Ohio, two of the lower teams in the MAC. It's been a theme for Kent to play down to their competition, but they also tend to play up to their competition as well.  

We've seen Kent give Houston and Gonzaga a run for their money already and they're trying to continue their trek up the Net standings.  

This is the kind of game where Sincere Carry and Malique Jacobs are going to step up and Kent's high pressure defense will be the difference in this one. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall. Golden Flashes are 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win. 

Back Kent State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Loyola Marymount -3

We're on Loyola Marymount in this one. 

San Francisco nearly took down the Gonzaga Bulldogs in a game that went down to the wire on Thursday night. However, a late layup at the rim cost them a shot at one of their biggest wins and now they have to shift gears to a totally different style.

They are going to struggle with the physical play Loyola plays with. They play high pressure defense and do not allow many second chances. 

Some trends to note. Dons are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Dons are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win.

Lay the number.

Back Loyola Marymount.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
