Seton Hall +8.5

Seton Hall has value here grabbing the points.

Coming into play here, they are a solid 2-0 after a blowout win over an impressive Yale team. They dominated every which way en route to an 80-44 blowout.

They have the tools to keep this one close and perhaps even steal it. They play a great inside out game and their defense is suffocating. Expect them to really have Michigan flustered here in this one.

Some trends to note. Pirates are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.Pirates are 36-16 ATS in their last 52 games as a road underdog.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -21

We're going to take Ohio State on the bounce back here on Friday.

The Buckeyes nearly fell in their opener to Akron had it not been for a last second bucket at the rim. Ohio State is far better than they showed on Tuesday and this will be nice spot for them to get their confidence back up. 

Niagara is going to struggle mightily here with the Buckeyes inside presence. Expect Ohio State to attack the paint with their length and physical strength, that Niagara just won't be able to match.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Buffalo +15.5

The Bulls have the value here as the MAC clashes with the Big-10.

Buffalo is the preseason pick to win the MAC as this team is loaded. They have a solid balance of an inside presence and shooters that can cause opposing defenses so many frustrations. 

Look for the Bulls to get out and run here, as this team loves to play with tempo. We've seen them over the recent years average well above 80 points per game and they will look to do the same this season.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.Bulls are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

VCU -9

VCU has value here as College Basketball tips off.

The Rams have one of top coaches in the nation and they come with one of the best defenses as well. VCU puts an emphasis on the defensive end and St. Peter's isn't team that is projected to have much offense here in 2022.

The Rams also have a lot of unfinished business. They made the NCAA Tournament last year and had to forfeit their first round game because of COVID. They are itching to get back out here and will look to make a statement early.

Some trends to note. Peacocks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Peacocks are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Back VCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -4.5

The Bulldogs have value laying the number.

Gonzaga escaped UCLA in the Final Four, which was an odd matchup for them. Oddly enough, Baylor is a better matchup for them in this spot.

The Bears play extremely fast which benefits the Bulldogs. Gonzaga loves to get up and down the floor and push the tempo. Teams that get into track meets with them, typically end up on the wrong side.

Look for them to run and push the ball, having Baylor on their heels all night long.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -14

The Bulldogs have been running through everyone in this tournament and now they get another great matchup for them with UCLA.

The Bruins just simply do not have enough firepower to keep up here. They have leaned on their ability to slow things down and work the shot clock to get here, but they won't be able to rely on that in this spot. 

Gonzaga loves to run and push the tempo, which opens so many lanes up for them. They are going to overwhelm this Bruins team from start to finish. 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games. Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The Cougars have value grabbing the points. 

Houston and Baylor meet in the first game and this one is going to be a grind. Both sides love to play defense and pride themselves on putting the pressure on.

Michigan -6.5

The Wolverines are extremely deserving of the spot they are in right now. 

They dominated the regular season and have ran through to the Elite 8 here. This team is just built with a lot of depth that can cause so many issues. Combine that with the defensive intensity that they play with and they have a lot of value. 

Michigan loves to put the pressure on and only allow one shot per possession. That comes in handy as they grab the rebound and look to run, which is the difference here. Look for them to turn defense into offense and push the tempo on UCLA all night long.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 13-4-2 ATS in their last 19 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.Wolverines are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games overall.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -8

The Bulldogs have value laying the number here. 

This team has ran through everyone so far, providing little stress, if any at all during this recent run. 

Gonzaga is built with such deep shooters and an inside presence that is going to make things so difficult for USC here. Look for them to play a solid inside out game and frustrate this USC defense, as they just come at teams from so many different angles.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games.Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Look for Gonzaga to continue their trend of dominating opponents.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Arkansas +8

Arkansas has value grabbing points. 

The Razorbacks battled all night long against Oral Roberts on Saturday, grinding out a late win. 

Baylor pulled away in the final moments against Villanova in their Sweet 16 clash and now will have a much tougher task. 

Arkansas can score and score quickly. This team is built to run with the best of them and can give Baylor everything they can handle. Look for them to attack the rim and turn this one into more of a track meet, which certainly favors them.

Some trends to note. Razorbacks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Razorbacks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Arkansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Houston -7.5

The Cougars have value laying the number.

Houston handled Syracuse for most of the game on Saturday night and they matchup well here with Oregon State.

This Beavers team has had quite the run, but they run into a difficult task here. Houston has the speed, length, and shooters to control games. This team is talented top to bottom and they are just going to be a handful for Oregon State in this one. Look for the Coogs to dictate everything here.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Cougars are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games overall.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Oregon +2.5

The Ducks have value here on Sunday when the Pac-12 battles in the Sweet 16.

The Pac 12 has had plenty of success here in the tournament and these two teams have been running wild.

This figures to be a very close game throughout, that can go either way. Oregon has the speed and agility edge in this one, which will be the difference maker. They love to attack the rim and have the length to provide 2nd and 3rd chances. Look for them to attack early and often in the shot clock, having USC on their heels.

Some trends to note. Ducks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. Ducks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Syracuse +6.5

The Orange are a team that are built for upsets. 

They are so stingy on defense and have the ability to slow any team down. The style they play is so out of character for a lot of teams it will frustrate opponents. 

Look for Syracuse to continue their run where they use a zone defense to confuse teams and put the pressure right in their face. 

Some trends to note. Orange are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Orange are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog.

Back Syracuse.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Baylor -7.5

The Bears have value laying the number.  Injuries have this Villanova team not at 100% and that has been a theme for them all season.

Baylor is far too physical and quick for this Villanova team. 

Look for them to get out and run as they are at their best when they can get out in transition and find open shooters on the outside. Villanova won't be able to keep up here, given the weapons this Baylor team has. 

Some trends to note. Bears are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Bears are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as a favorite.

Back Baylor. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Loyola Chicago -7

Loyola Chicago has value laying the points here. 

Oregon State has had a nice run through the conference tournament and into March Madness. However, they run into a buzz saw here.

Loyola Chicago dominated Illinois start to finish and they are a team that plays exceptional defense. Look for them to put the clamps down on Oregon State, who has issues when it faces defenses that are up in shooters face and allow nothing easy at the rim.

Some trends to note. Ramblers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. Ramblers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

Back Loyola Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

USC -1

The Trojans have value as a small favorite. 

USC handled Drake with rather ease as they simply dominated on the defensive end. 

Look for that to carry over here into Monday night as they have really put an emphasis on buckling down defensively. 

Drake shot a mere 29.4% from the field, as USC is right in the face of shooters. They rarely allow 2nd chances at the rim and can dictate the way a game is played with their suffocating defense. Expect that to be the case here as they will not allow Kansas to find any sort of rhythm. 

Some trends to note. Trojans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. Trojans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as a favorite.

Back USC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Alabama -5.5

The Crimson Tide have value laying the number here.

Maryland knocked off Uconn in the first round in a game where they nearly blew a huge lead late. This is a much more physical and quicker team in Alabama that they will have a ton of issues with.

The Crimson Tide love to get up and down the floor, as they can score in flurries. Look for them to turn up the tempo on Maryland, causing them a lot of issues defensively from the start.

Some trends to note. Terrapins are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS win. Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Monday games.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Oral Roberts +7.5

We’re on Oral Roberts here. 

Off an upset win over Ohio State, this team has proven they don’t need just the three ball to win. They attacked the hoop and stood tall defensively, which gives them a great shot here.

Florida trailed for a majority of it’s game against VT as they have struggled to produce offensively as of late. 

Oral Roberts has the making to keep this close.

Back Oral Roberts. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Houston -8

The Cougars proved they belong as a 2 seed.

Houston dominated in every facet to start their tourney run and they should be able to dictate a lot here on Sunday.

The Cougars dominated Cleveland State from start to finish behind a quick offensive attack that opened up a ton of shooting lanes.

Rutgers simply doesn’t have enough firepower in this spot.

Expect Houston to get out and run, as they attack the rim and shoot the 3 ball as good as anyone.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

Virginia -7

This line has been knocked down from -8.5 to -7 as the Cavaliers were eliminated from the ACC Semi Finals after getting hit with Covid. They are ready to go and will use their defensive efforts here to slow down Ohio.

The Bobcats love to run and shoot the 3. While that will work in the MAC, it won't work against this Virginia team. 

They love to play straight up, man to man, and get right in your face. Look for them to shut down these Bobcat shooters and take them out of their comfort zone.

A trend to note here. Cavaliers are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CBB ATS Play

Maryland +3

Uconn is a public favorite here, which is a nice spot to fade.

This Maryland team isn't getting much credit and they definitely deserve some. They have been a big issue for a lot of top tier teams in the country in the Big 10. 

The Terps have gone 40-18-4 ATS in their last 62 Saturday games and are also 10-4 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games as an underdog. This team is built top to bottom with a lot of talent and has a real chance to steal this one.

Another trend to note here. Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Look for this one to be close throughout.

Back Maryland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Iona +17

This is far too many points here.

Iona battled Covid all season long, but still managed to run through the conference tourney. With Rick Pitino at the helm, this team is dangerous. 

They run into an Alabama team that won the SEC and has played just top tier all season long. However, they have shown some flaws, especially on the defensive end. Given Iona has some shooters, they can make this game uncomfortable for the Crimson Tide. 

Look for them to try to get out early and ride that momentum. 

Some trends to note. Gaels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Gaels are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Iona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

LSU -1.5 

The Tigers are laying a low number in this spot.

LSU is never out of a game and they always have the chance to blow teams out. This is one of the best offenses in the nation, as they average 82.7 points per game.

They have been playing their best basketball as of late too, as they ran through the SEC Tournament into the final, only to lose by 1 to the Crimson Tide. 

Look for them to run on the Bonnies, who have yet to see an offense with this much firepower. Ultimately, LSU is just going to be too much for St. Bonnies to handle as they can shoot and attack the rim.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Tigers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back LSU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Clemson +1.5

Clemson has the value in this spot.

The Tigers are simply one of the best defensive teams in the nation. They average just over 60 points against per game, which is easily in the top tier. 

Rutgers was a surprise team for sure and they are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Expect Clemson to put the clamps down on the defensive end as they love to close out on shooters and not allow any 2nd or 3rd chances off of rebounds.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. Tigers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games as an underdog.

Back Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State +20.5

We've seen two forms of Houston this season. One that can run and gun and another that struggles with turnovers. 

Cleveland State has a chance to really slow this game down and frustrate the Cougars. Expect that to be the case here, as this a lot of points. 

The Vikings work a nice inside out game and can get Houston out of their comfort zone. This team is also built with some players who can shoot the three, which is key in any tournament game. 

Look for this to be a slowly played contest, favoring the Vikings and the number.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Vikings are 17-6-1 ATS in their last 24 games overall.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 6* CBB ATS Play

Oklahoma State -7.5

The Cowboys are worth a nice move here.

This team got hot late down the stretch and it took them all the way to the Big 12 Championship Game. 

They are going to be far too physical and quick for Liberty. This Liberty side hasn't seen a team like this all season long and won't be able to keep up. Look for the Cowboys to dominate the paint and use one of the best players in the nation in Cunningham to push the tempo. 

Given the factors here, this is just too lopsided of a matchup.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Cowboys are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Back Oklahoma State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Utah State +4

The Aggies have value grabbing points. 

This is a very intriguing matchup as Utah State is a team that can cause a lot of frustrations for the Red Raiders. The Aggies are absolutely stellar on the defensive side of the ball, allowing just 62.9 points per game. They force the opposition to really grind things out, which causes a lot of turnovers. 

Look for them to put the pressure on and really suffocate these Texas Tech shooters, as they can win this game with their defense on Friday.

Some trends to note. Aggies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. Aggies are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 Friday games.

Back Utah State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Florida PK

The Gators have the value in the first game of the round of 64 on Friday.

Virginia Tech lost 3 of their last 5 and have dealt with some covid issues themselves. They have played just twice in 32 days heading into this one on Friday, which is never a good sign for rust. 

Florida is a fast team that plays physical down low. The Gators can really exert their will in the paint and cause a lot of issues for the Hokies from the start. Look for that to be the difference here.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Hokies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

UCLA +2

The Bruins have value grabbing the number here. 

Michigan State is a heavily public backed team because of their name and their coach. They have had a lot of success in the March, that is no secret. However, this year's team is much different.

They have struggled a lot and even had some moments where they didn't think they would make the tournament. Now, playing the First Four, they run into a Bruins team that can cause a lot of issues. UCLA averages just 67 points per game on the defensive end and can put the clamps down here. Look for this to be a low scoring game that will play into the favor of UCLA.

Some trends to note. Bruins are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Spartans are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games overall.

Back UCLA.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Wichita State +1.5

The Shockers have value grabbing the small number in their First Four battle with Drake.

The Shockers have had success in the tournament in the past. They come in 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog.They've seen plenty of moments, both good and bad, in this tournament before and will be prepared to get in here.

Drake endured a great season, but remained in the shadows of Loyola Chicago in the conference. They aren't built to keep up with this Shockers team, who have far too many weapons for them.

Some trends to note. Shockers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Shockers are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog.

Back Wichita State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Illinois -6

The Fighting Illini have the value in the Big Ten Championship. Ohio State has put together back to back performances where they nearly blew huge leads down the stretch.

When it comes to playing this Illinois team, there Is just no room for error. Look for Illinois to impose their will in the paint, as Ohio State has had a ton of issues the last two months with opposing big men.

This is going to be a tough call for the Buckeyes, as Illinois loves to crash the glass and attack the rim.

Lay the number. Back Illinois.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio +2.5

The Bobcats have value grabbing the points here.

Ohio has dominated the first two games of the MAC tournament, which includes a win over the #1 seed Toledo.

Ohio is shooting the ball at a super high rate and they should be able to pick apart this Buffalo defense. 

Combine that with the revenge factor as OU was blown out by Buffalo earlier this season and the Bobcats will have all the motivation in the world here as they play with a ton of confidence right now.

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Bobcats are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

Back Ohio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Oklahoma State +1.5

The Cowboys have tremendous value here. 

This team is playing with their confidence levels at an all time high. It doesn't matter who is in front of them, they are going out there and giving their opposition so many issues. Baylor was the latest victim as one of the top teams in the country couldn't solve them.

On top of that, they have one of the top players in the nation on their side and this team is complete top to bottom.

With Texas getting a bye to the finals, look for the Cowboys to come out the aggressor, as they know they are at their best when they can dictate the tempo of the game.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Cowboys are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games.

Back Oklahoma State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS Play

Alabama -3.5

The Crimson Tide have value laying the small number.

Alabama has been on a tear in the SEC this season and started their tournament off with a blowout win over Mississippi State. This team is built so deep as they have a complement of shooters to go with a solid inside presence. 

Tennessee has shown plenty of signs of struggle this season and have struggled ATS following wins.

Look for Alabama to control the tempo here and have their way in the paint.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 games following a ATS win. Crimson Tide are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

North Carolina +2.5

The Tar Heels have been rolling as of late and they're catching fire at the right time.

They wore down Virginia Tech last night and have value grabbing points here.

Florida State fell in their final game of the regular season to Notre Dame, setting them up here for a date with the Tar Heels. North Carolina is doing just about everything right on both ends of the floor, as they are attacking and creating lanes for their shooters.

Look for them to put the pressure on Florida State early in this one, as they can really overwhelm this defense.

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

Back North Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State +2

The Golden Flashes have value here grabbing the points.

Kent State has been one of the top teams in the MAC all season. They have one of the best in Danny Pippen and he is expected to be back here on Thursday. 

He makes a world of a difference for this team. He can shoot it, drive the lane, and grab rebounds to make the life of opposing defenses miserable. Look for Kent to lean on him here as they can utilize their high pressure defense to slow Ohio down and force them into some turnovers that can lead to fast break points.

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games. Bobcats are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

North Carolina -6.5

The Tar Heels have value laying the number here.

UNC has closed the season out with some fire as they have made quite the surge from their early season issues.

They take on a Notre Dame team that honestly shouldn't even be in this spot. Notre Dame needed a huge comeback late with a deep buzzer beater three to seal the deal in their opening round game against Wake. 

North Carolina is far more physical and is going to be able to dictate what happens here. Expect them to control the paint on both ends of the floor here, as Notre Dame simply cannot keep up.

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Fighting Irish are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Back North Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Louisville +2.5

People are riding high after the Duke win last night, but this Blue Devils team still has a ton of issues to work out. 

Louisville defeated Duke twice in the regular season and come in finishing the season winners in 2 of they're last 3. One of those included a win over Duke where they led for a majority of regulation and eventually pulled away in overtime.

Duke just isn't set up to compete this season and they are going to have their hands full here with the length and strength of the Cardinals.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Blue Devils are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games.

Back Louisville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -14

The Bulldogs have the value here in the WCC Championship.

Gonzaga has rolled through the season with pretty minimal drama and they come in off a blowout win over St. Mary's on Monday. Meanwhile, BYU nearly and probably should have lost to Pepperdine in the Semi Finals, before going to overtime and grabbing a win. 

Gonzaga is just a complete team playing with so much confidence right now. Expect them to dictate the pace and control the game from the outset here, as they should be able to fluster this BYU team who has been struggling in the turnover department.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Bulldogs are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 Tuesday games.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State -3.5

The Vikings have value against Milwaukee here in the Horizon League Semi Finals. 

Cleveland State needed three overtimes to defeated IPFW in the Quarterfinals, as this team has just found a way every single time this season. 

They split with Milwaukee in the regular season and should have honestly beat them twice if they hadn't blown a 10 point lead late. 

This Milwaukee team is scrappy, but they have shown the ability to struggle. They struggled for 34 minutes in their game over Wright State before posting a monumental comeback. The Vikings can cause them a lot of issues and we should see that here on Monday.

Some trends to not. Panthers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 Monday games. Panthers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as an underdog.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Maryland -5.5

The Terps have value laying the number here.

They have put together a nice late season surge and now find themselves in a spot to grab a tournament bid. 

They had won 5 straight prior to flopping against Northwestern last time out and now will look to avoid another stumble here. 

Luckily for them, they matchup well with Penn State. The Nittany Lions have had struggled to slow teams down as they don’t have the the speed or length a lot of teams have. Look for them to have issues with this Maryland team that loves to get to the rim.

Back Maryland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

North Carolina

The Tar Heels have tremendous value here.

While both teams struggled to start the season, the Tar Heels have started to figure some things out while Duke is still in a rut. 

North Carolina is a solid 9-1 at home this year and they are a tough team to crack in this building. 

Look for them to assert their dominance early in the paint, as we have seen Duke struggle mightily with plays at the rim and allowing offensive rebounds.

Lay the number. Back North Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Oklahoma State

The Cowboys have been a nice backing as of late. 

This team has covered in 5 straight games and went toe to toe with Baylor last time out.

Look for this one to be played very similarly for them, as they love to attack. The Cowboys put in nearly 77 points per game and have a nice inside out presence. They can work the ball around and will find shooters and post players to cause havoc for opposing defenses.

Expect them to turn the pressure up as well, as West Virginia loves to battle in the paint. This one should be close throughout.

Back Oklahoma State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Florida State

The Seminoles have the value here.

Notre Dame is in the midst of a very down year. This team has struggled mightily on both sides of the ball and rank near the bottom in the conference in both offense and defense. 

Saturday will be no easy task for them as they have to deal with the high flying attack of FSU. The Seminoles average nearly 80 points per game which is one of the best in the nation. Look for them to pick apart this ND defense with their inside out game here on Saturday.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Bellarmine -6

Bellarmine has been sneaky good this year. The one thing to know about them is they are not eligible for the NCAA Tournament, as they are new to Division 1. With that in mind, this is their NCAA Tournament and they are going to play all out for this. 

They have been a nice backing this season and defeated Stetson twice this season.

They play with a lot of speed and can shoot the ball with the best of them. Look for them to play a solid inside out game as they can pick apart this Stetson defense.

Some trends to note. Knights are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Knights are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Thursday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Cleveland State -7.5

We are on the Vikings here Tuesday in the Quarterfinals of the Horizon League Tournament. 

The overall 1 seed takes on IPFW, who they beat 3 of 4 times this regular season. The Vikings are a much deeper team and have far more talent to offer.

Look for them to utilize their physical play on defense and control the paint on both sides of the floor. This has the makings of a game where the Vikings are far too familiar with their opponent and can expose their flaws early in this one.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite.Vikings are 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 home games.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -3

The Buckeyes look to avenge a couple of tough losses this past week.

Losses to Michigan and Michigan State have the Buckeyes reeling for the first time all season. However this is a nice spot to bounce back. They welcome in Iowa, who they already took down earlier this season.

Ohio State matches up very well with this Iowa group. Look for them to work the inside out game on them, as the Hawkeyes struggling mightily to close out on shooters in the previous matchup. The Buckeyes should be able to find some pretty solid looks here and find their groove back at home.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -3

The Seminoles are the move here for us once again.

We've backed them a few times and it's worked out great. They are rolling right now and lay a small number on the road.

With fans, this one may not have FSU as a favorite, but home court advantage is wiped away now. On top of that, Florida State has proven they have no issue going on the road. 

They have had plenty of three point shooters come alive as of late, which in turn has opened up a lot of room in the paint. Teams are so focused on their outside threats, that they're giving up easy looks at the rim. 

Look for Florida State to play that inside out game once again here on Saturday, against a Tar Heels defense that has had it's issues.

Some trends to note. Seminoles are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Seminoles are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Ohio -2

The Bobcats have value laying the small number. 

Ohio has found it's groove here as they inch closer toward the MAC Tournament in the Mid American Conference. 

The Bobcats are rolling over opponents as of late, which includes one against Akron a couple weeks back. Now they get a shot at Buffalo, who they very well could see later on in the tournament. 

Ohio has found success with their shooters and control of the paint. Look for them to keep the tempo going against Buffalo, attacking and opening shooting lanes.

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games. Bobcats are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

Back Ohio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -8

The Wolverines have proven the Big Ten will run through them.

With back to back wins over Iowa and Ohio State, they are rolling right now and proving they belong in the discussion for a 1 seed come March.

They get an Indiana team here who has had plenty of issues this season. The Hoosiers are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games and overall have just struggled. 

Michigan has far too much speed and talent for Indiana to keep up. Look for Michigan to attack early and overwhelm this Indiana defense.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Wolverines are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -4

The Wolverines have value laying the number here.

Michigan has set out to prove they are the best team in the Big Ten. They took out the Buckeyes on Sunday in Columbus, in a game where they just dominated offensively.

Now, they get a shot at Iowa, who has shown some vulnerability as of late. This Hawkeyes team has had some defensive issues and they will hurt them here. Expect Michigan to dictate the tempo and pace, as they should be able to attack the rim and create a lot of shooting lanes for themselves.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.\

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -11

The Seminoles have value laying the number here.

Florida State takes on a Miami team that is just so down this season. They are 7-13 coming into Wednesday and just 3-12 in conference play. They were trounced by Georgia Tech last time out and this contest will be far more challenging for them.

Florida State has one of the best offenses in the conference and even in the nation. They can attack the rim and shoot the 3 with the best of them. Look for them to be aggressive early on Miami, who just doesn't have much confidence right now.

Some trends to note. Seminoles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Seminoles are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Washington +9.5

The Huskies have value grabbing the points. 

Washington has played a bit better as of late as they have made games much more competitive. After a brutal start to the season, they have rebounded nicely and are putting together some solid performances. 

They catch an ASU team that isn't overpowering by any means. They have had their issues themselves, going just 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall. Look for this to be a very closely played game throughout, as neither team has shown the ability to blow the opposition out.

Some trends to note. Sun Devils are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. Sun Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

USC -4

The Trojans have value laying the number here.

USC has been a nice backing thus far and have a situational edge coming into play on Monday night. 

They are a solid 6-1 ATS in their last 7 and have gone 9-2 ATS in there last 11 following a loss. This team bounces back in a big way and this is the perfect spot for them. 

Look for them to impose their will in the paint and really put the clamps down defensively on these Oregon shooters.

Some trends to note. Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Trojans are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss.

Back USC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Virginia -1

The Cavaliers are worthy of a move on Saturday. 

Without fans and with how this Duke team has been playing, it's tough to trust them overall. Duke has had so many inconsistencies as they have struggled on both ends of the floor.

Virginia loves to play slow and can really take Duke out of their comfort zone. Expect that to be the case on Saturday as Virginia will look to impose their will on the defensive end and in the paint on both sides of the floor.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss. Cavaliers are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -6.5

The Seminoles are a nice move on Saturday. 

Pitt has been in a downward spiral as of late. Their most recent venture saw them struggle mightily on the defensive end against NC State at home earlier this week. This is not a good sign for them as this FSU offense is incredibly more talented.

The Seminoles put up nearly 80 points per game as they can attack the rim and shoot the 3. Given the Panthers' issues, they aren't going to be able to keep up here. Florida State is far too quick and physical for them in this spot.

Some trends to note. Seminoles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Seminoles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Uconn +6.5

The Huskies with the points is the move on Saturday afternoon. 

Uconn saw the return of James Bouknight, who just makes such a huge difference in this lineup. He's only played in 7 games this season, but averages 20 points per game and is a giant piece to the success of this team. 

Defensively, they rank in the top tier in the nation when it comes to defense. They rarely allow anything easy at the rim and will suffocate opposing shooters. Look for them to put an emphasis on closing out on these Wildcats' shooters on Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Huskies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Huskies are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

Back Uconn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -4.5

The Buckeyes have value laying the number here. 

Ohio State has taken everything by storm in the NCAA as they are on a nice run right now. They have themselves set up to be a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament as they are just dominating opponents. 

This is a huge game for them as they have to continue the momentum with Michigan looming on Sunday. Look for Ohio State to put their emphasis on controlling the paint and using their physicalty to impose their will.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

DePaul +13.5

This line is too much here. 

DePaul may be 1-9 in conference play, but they have been super competitive against some top tier teams. They have three losses by single digits to Creighton, Butler, and Providence thus far. They are always in games and can make life difficult for opposing teams. 

Seton Hall has not covered in 4 straight games and they typically play DePaul very close. Look for this to be a very grind it out kind of game on Wednesday night.

Some trends to note. Blue Demons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home. Blue Demons are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game.

Back DePaul.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

La Salle +16.5

The one thing the Explorers do is keep games within reason.

This is just too many points in this spot. La Salle comes in off a 13 point loss to St. Bonnie, in a game where they led early and kept it within striking distance throughout. 

The Explorers are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 as they have been playing well against higher up opponents. Look for them to keep this one close as well, as they are just a grind it out kind of team that doesn't let up.

Some trends to note. Explorers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games. Explorers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog.

Back La Salle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

North Carolina +6.5

The Tar Heels may be starting to figure some things out. 

After an abysmal start to the season, North Carolina has won 4 of their last 5, which includes a win on the road over Duke last week.

They are getting a lot of offensive production every which way, as they are seeing a lot of different guys step up. That bodes well for them here as they will need a lot of different weapons given how this Virginia defense is. Look for them to try to pick up the pace, getting the Cavaliers out of their comfort zone.

A trend to note. Cavaliers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. 

Look for North Carolina to have a chance at stealing this one.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Loyola Chicago -3.5

Laying the points is the move here with Loyola Chicago.

They come into Saturday's matchup the top team in the nation on the defensive side. They're currently allowing just a mere 56.3 points per game this season as they just suffocate opposing shooters. 

While the defense does steal the show, the offensive production is just as good. They are shooting at 52.1% this season from the field as a team. Expect them to continue this trend here on Saturday, as Drake has failed to cover in 7 straight Saturday games. 

Some trends to note. Ramblers are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win. Ramblers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games.

Back Loyola Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State -2.5

The Vikings have value laying the small number.

Cleveland State continues to keep pace in the Horizon League as they lead Wright State by one game. 

Every game matters here on out for them and they continue to lay low numbers. The Vikings are getting it done on both ends of the floor too. They are using a lot of different weapons on offense, while defensively they are getting key stops. Expect that trend to continue here today.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Vikings are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Oregon -1.5

The Ducks have value laying the small number here. 

Oregon has been great in these kinds of road situations against lower tier teams. Coming into Wednesday, the Ducks are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Combine that with the fact that they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and they have a huge edge. 

Arizona State has been an inconsistent team all season long and they likely can't matchup here with this Ducks physical play. 

Some trends to note. Sun Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Sun Devils are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Drake -10.5

Drake has value laying the number.

The undefeated bid is over as they fell to Valpo on Sunday afternoon. Now, they can remove the distraction and focus on what is ahead here. 

They return home to take on a UNI team that is awful in road situations. They come into play on Wednesday 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Combine that with the Panthers going 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and the value sits here with the home side.

Some other trends to note. Home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Favorite is 19-5-2 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Lay the number. Back Drake.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -3.5

The Buckeyes have value laying the number.

Ohio State has found their groove as of late. They've cashed in 4 straight and 7 of their last 8 as they continue up the Big Ten standings. 

Maryland is an average team that doesn't have the weapons to keep up here. 

Expect Ohio State to really get out and run on this team, as they are at their best when they attack early in the shot clock. It tends to open up a lot of shooting lanes and causes a lot issues for opposing teams.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.Buckeyes are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games as a favorite.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Buffalo Bulls -8

The Bulls have the edge here.

Miami OH has had it's fair share of issues at times. They struggle to find a spark offensively and they have really been a tough team to back on the road so far. 

This is not an ideal matchup for them. Buffalo plays quick and they play with a lot of strength in the paint. Miami doesn't have the weapons on either side of the floor to keep up with that. Look for them to struggle against this Buffalo offense, that is putting up 82 points per game so far.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Bulls are 35-15-6 ATS in their last 56 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Alabama -3

The Crimson Tide are a valuable move here on Saturday afternoon.

They have shown what a tough team they are to deal with on both sides of the floor. Offensively, they are averaging nearly 80 points per game. While that stat alone is enough to show the value in them, it's really their defense that has picked everything up.

Alabama is allowing the opposition to shoot just 39.7% from the field. They suffocate shooters and allow nothing easy at the rim.

Expect them to shut down this Missouri team, that struggles at times to find their rhythm.

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Crimson Tide are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games following a ATS win.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -2

The Golden Flashes have value laying the small number here.

Kent State and Akron battled earlier this season where Kent blew a huge halftime lead. Despite that, they still showcased they can matchup well with this Akron team.

Coming in off a win over Miami Ohio, the Golden Flashes showcased some rare defensive efforts. It seems that has been something they are trying to really put an emphasis on and will look to do that here tonight. Expect them to play through Danny Pippen, who has been unstoppable this season. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.Golden Flashes are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State +2

The Vikings are in a nice spot on Friday.

Cleveland State controls their own destiny in the Horizon League for the one seed. They sit atop the standings and they matchup well with this Oakland side.

Oakland is one of the worst defensively, not just in the Horizon League, but in the entire NCAA giving up well over 80 points per game.

Look for the Vikings to attack the rim all night long and overwhelm this Oakland defense.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.Vikings are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Missouri -4.5

Missouri has value laying the number.

Kentucky just has been too hard of a team to trust this season. They come in just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 overall and they've had plenty of issues on both ends of the floor.

This Missouri team is not one you want to see when you're dealing with issues. 

They have shot the ball very well and have fed off bad teams. They come in 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. 

Some other trends to note here. Tigers are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.  Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game.

Back Missouri.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Penn State +8

The Nittany Lions are worth a move on Tuesday night.

Penn State took down Wisconsin on Saturday with a surge in the 2nd half. They have been playing much better as of late as they nearly knocked off Ohio State as well in a prior contest. 

This is just too many points in this spot. 

Look for Penn State to be in attack mode, as that was the halftime adjustment they made on Saturday. They had Wisconsin out of their comfort zone during the entire 2nd half and they'll look to pull off the same strategy here. 

Some trends to note. Nittany Lions are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 Tuesday games. Nittany Lions are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog.

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Stanford +2

Stanford picked up a huge win on Thursday and should be able to carry that momentum into play on Saturday.

The Cardinal went into Arizona and knocked off a tough Wildcats team. They dominated in the trenches and played great on both ends of the floor all night long.

Now they take on an ASU team that has had it's issues. Despite winning last time out, they have struggled as a whole. This is not a team that can handle the physical play from the Cardinal. Look for Stanford to run a solid half court offense and dominate inside the paint.

Some trends to note. Cardinal are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.Cardinal are 17-7 ATS in their last 24 Saturday games.

Back Stanford.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -4.5

The Seminoles have the value laying the number here.

Florida State has been quite the pleasant surprise. They come into battle on Saturday 10-2 as they are clicking on all sorts of cylinders offensively. 

They have averaged nearly 80 points per game and have shot the 3 ball extremely well as of late. 

Georgia Tech just isn't going to be as powerful enough to keep up with this side. Look for the Seminoles to pick up the pace and have this Tech defense scrambling, as they struggle to close out on shooters.

Some trends to note. Seminoles are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.

Back Florida State.

Clemson +5.5

This is just too high of a number.

Duke has started to figure some things out, but this team still has a lot of issues to get through. 

That isn't a good sign when they have to deal with a Clemson team that is very physical. The Tigers come in 10-4 and they matchup very well with this Duke side. 

Look for them to control the paint and not allow anything easy at the rim, which will cause a lot of issues for Duke to get their rhythm.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. Blue Devils are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Back Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Green Bay +4.5

Wisconsin Green Bay is worth the move here on Friday.

Cleveland State blew a double digit lead late last Saturday and now are set up to be in a race to the finish with Wright State.

The Vikings have certainly been overachieving this season and now teams are starting to figure out what some of their flaws are. 

Green Bay is a team that can give them fits. Look for them to pressure them on the inbounds and really look to push the tempo on them here.

Some trends to note. Phoenix are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Phoenix are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 Friday games.

Texas Tech +2

The Red Raiders are eager to get back on the court and they have the value grabbing points. 

Texas Tech has been off for 2 weeks with Covid protocols coming into play and we've seen some teams come out firing after getting a short break in these kinds of circumstances. 

On top of that, the Red Raiders are one of the best on the defensive end. As of late, they have been able to get a lot of key stops as they are one of the best in the country at suffocating opposing shooters. Look for that to be the difference here as they are able to turn this game into a grind.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.Red Raiders are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Monday games.

Back Texas Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kentucky -1

Kentucky catches LSU at the right time here. 

The Tigers were dismantled by the Crimson Tide earlier this week and are at an all time low right now. The confidence is shot and this Kentucky team continues to improve as the weeks go on. 

Kentucky blew a 6 point lead against Georgia, but they're starting to be involved more in closely played games. They're doing it on the defensive end, which is something that lacked earlier this season.

The Tigers are going to have some issues with the Wildcats length and physicality. Look for them to get bullied inside the paint on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games.

Back Kentucky. 

Good Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Ohio State +5

The Buckeyes are worthy of a nice move her.e

Ohio State fell to Purdue at home last time out in a game they certainly should have won. This team has shown they can beat any one and they matchup well with Wisconsin. 

They can match their physical play and win the battle in the trenches against them. Expect them to try and control the paint on both sides of the floor, winning the game with shots at the rim and a solid defensive presence.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Buckeyes are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Kent State +4.5 

The Golden Flashes have value grabbing the points.

Kent State has been an interesting team thus far. They have shown they can play spurts where they are unstoppable and there are other times they struggle on both ends of the floor.

The good news for them is that they are playing extremely well as of late. They come in off a win against an impressive Buffalo team and are in a revenge spot against Toledo. Kent State should have beat Toledo on their home floor a few weeks back as they out played them for nearly the entire game. 

Look for them to utilize their up tempo offense and attack early in this one. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Golden Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Cleveland State -3.5

The Vikings have been the biggest surprise of the Horizon League thus far.

They come in off a split in Wright State and control their own destiny in the conference now. 

They welcome in Wisconsin Milwaukee, who is a middle of the pack team that will struggle here with this CSU defense. Look for the Vikings to continue to put the pressure on, as they are at their best when they suffocate shooters and control the paint at both ends of the floor. They've done such a nice job with that this season and should be able to contain this offense here.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.Vikings are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Iowa -10

The Hawkeyes are a nice move on Thursday. 

They bring a 5 game winning streak into play and they've done it with an extremely good offensive production. They are doing just about everything right on the offensive end, as they have the ability t come at teams with so many different weapons.

This is a case where they can really overwhelm Indiana. The Hoosiers have been far too inconsistent and with the Hawkeyes being 20-4-2 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite, they likely won't be able to keep up in this one.

Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite.Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -10

This is a huge bounce back spot for the Wolverines. 

They are going to be itching to get back out there after they were clobbered by Minnesota on Saturday. 

It was their first loss of the season and now they get a Maryland team that they have already handled once this year. 

Expect them to come out of the gates with a lot of aggression and purpose, looking to attack in transition. Maryland doesn't have enough weapons to keep up here as Michigan can just come at you from so many different angles. 

Some trends to note. Terrapins are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games.Wolverines are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite.

Back Michigan.

Gonzaga -15.5

The Gonzaga-St. Mary's rivalry just isn't going to be the same this year. These two teams are on totally different levels. 

The Gaels already have 4 losses on their resume, which has been rare for them. 

Gonzaga meanwhile, is a perfect 13-0 and they've handled every test thrown their way. The Gaels simply do not have enough firepower to keep up. Look for Gonzaga to put their foot on the gas early and control the paint on both sides of the floor, creating a lot of separation early in this one.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Bulldogs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss.

Cleveland State +9.5

The Vikings have value grabbing points here.

Cleveland State and Wright State sit at the top of the Horizon League standings heading into Friday.

The line is very high here and Cleveland State has been playing with a lot of confidence. They’ve done just about everything right in conference play. They’ve stepped up on the defensive end, rebounded well, and attack the rim better than anyone.

Expect them to keep this one close here. This has the makings of a grind it out game, that can go either way.

Back Cleveland State

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Boise State -9

The Broncos are a nice move on Wednesday. 

They just beat this Wyoming tam by 23 points 2 nights ago on the same floor and there is no reason to think they can't do that again. 

The Broncos are flying under the radar a bit. They have done a lot of things right this season, including holding the opposition to very limited three pointers made. Sitting at under 30% from behind the arc, the opposition for the Broncos has been typically suffocated by their pressure defense.

Look for the Broncos to continue that trend here and really put the pressure on early.

Back Boise State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Virginia Tech +2

The Hokies are a nice move on Tuesday.

Duke just hasn't been the same team as we've seen in the past. They are losing games and they're keeping things close with some teams they typically would be blowing out.

With Covid as a big distraction, this Duke team hasn't had a chance to gel together yet.

Virginia Tech is a tough, physical team, that will cause a lot of issues for them in this spot. Look for the Hokies to control the paint and suffocate these Blue Devils shooters trying to create space.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Virginia Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -6

The Golden Flashes have value laying the number.

Kent State turned in their most impressive half of the season last time out as they dominated WMU in the 2nd half. 

They take on a Central Michigan team here that has struggled in 2020-2021. CMU ranks near the bottom in almost every defensive category and just allowed 183 points to Bowling Green in a back to back. 

Kent State's offense is dangerous and should be able to get a lot of easy looks at the bucket here, making this another nightmare situation for CMU.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.Golden Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida -4.5

The Gators have tremendous value in this spot.

Kentucky has been a struggle all year and needed a late run to knock off lowly Vanderbilt last time out. 

Now, they have to deal with a physical and tough Florida team here that won’t be easy. Look for Florida to assert themselves in the paint and utilize their strength to control it. 

Kentucky just doesn’t have the length or speed to keep up here.

Back Florida.

Good Luck. Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Boise State -17.5

Boise State and Air Force complete their 2 game swing here and the Broncos have nice value.

Boise State pulled away from Air Force in the 2nd half last time out and should be able to really do the same here throughout the entire game.

Air Force just doesn't have the weapons to compete this season. They lack any sort of spark and defensively they are a wreck. Expect Boise State to put the pressure on early and not let their foot off the gas in this one.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Friday games.Falcons are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games.

Back Boise State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

SMU -6

The Mustangs have value laying the number here. 

Cincinnati just doesn't have it this season. They have dropped 5 in a row which marks their longest losing streak since the 2007 season. 

Offensively, they have been a wreck. Their numbers are way down across the board and they don't have a dependable scorer to go to. 

SMU has a lot of playmakers that can cause issues for this Bearcats team and we should see them control the pace in this one.

Some trends to note. Bearcats are 15-37 ATS in their last 52 games overall.Bearcats are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games.

Back SMU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -7.5

The Wolverines are a nice play in this spot.

Michigan comes in undefeated and they are a solid 7-2 ATS this year. They've done it with an impressive offensive package they run. The Wolverines have scored 80+ points in all but one game as they love to attack.

Minnesota has had a great start themselves, but not on the road. Their 2 losses have come to Wisconsin and Illinois in blowout fashion.

Some trends to note here. Golden Gophers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Golden Gophers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Iowa State +12.5

Iowa State catches Texas on Tuesday and they have value grabbing points. 

Texas is on an extreme high as they went on the road and defeated Kansas in an absolute blowout. Now, they return home to take on a competitor that is much lower. 

Iowa state did give Baylor a run for their money this past weekend in the 2nd half. They are a scrappy team and will catch Texas with not full focus here. Expect them to come out aggressively and really attack in the early going here to set the tone.

Some trends to note. Longhorns are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 home games.Longhorns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

Back Iowa State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -18

San Francisco is being a bit over valued in this spot.

The Bulldogs should be a few points higher here and we get great value on them. 

Gonzaga has been one of the best in the nation and they've done it with their dominance on both sides of the ball. They lead the nation with 96.2 points per game, while shooting at a 55.7% clip from the field. 

This team is just too much for San Francisco. Look for Gonzaga to really overwhelm them in the paint and open up a lot of shooting lanes from behind the arc.

Some trends to note. Dons are 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 games following a ATS loss.Dons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State -3.5

The Vikings are worth a move on Friday.

Cleveland State comes in off back to back sweeps of IPFW and YSU. This team has certainly opened some eyes with their start thanks a lot to their depth. They feature many different rotations that keep opponents guessing.

This is a good matchup for them. IUPUI has actually played just one game thus far and rust is a certain thing for them. 

Expect Cleveland State to come right at them and push in transition, forcing them into an uncomfortable pace.

Back Cleveland State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Alabama -1

Alabama has the value at this low of a number.

The Crimson Tide have shown some signs of brilliance this season. Their offense has the ability to put up points and put them up quickly. 

They come in off and 85 point performance against ETSU and can duplicate that here against Ole Miss. Alabama is at their best when they can get out and run. Expect them to push the tempo and really focus on getting out in transition.

Situationally, the Crimson Tide catch Ole Miss in a stretch where they are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Drake -4

Drake is a very nice move for us on Monday.

They will be in the 2nd leg of the back to back with Indiana State, as they throttled them on Sunday. Drake has started off 10-0 and they're a solid 8-0 ATS in lined games. 

This Drake team is deep and has shooters. They're a very under the radar dangerous team. Drake put up 81 points yesterday and has averaged 85.9 as a team this season. Look for them to keep the pressure on and really overwhelm this Indiana State team again.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Bulldogs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Back Drake. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -2

The Buckeyes have value laying the small number here.

Injuries early to this Buckeyes team had them missing some key pieces. However, they are now at full strength and we saw what they can do when this team has everyone back. Ohio State took down UCLA on Saturday and now will turn to Rutgers here.

The Buckeyes are a team that will beat you with their physicality and strength. They love to control the paint and will not allow anything easy at the rim defensively. 

Expect them to control both sides here against a Rutgers team that is just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games.

Some other trends to note. Buckeyes are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.Buckeyes are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Butler -8.5

The Bulldogs have laying the number. 

Butler is just 1-2 right now, but this is a physical team that will be able to really impose their will on Southern Illinois. 

Butler has the ability to control the paint on both ends of the floor.

This is a game where Southern Illinois is going to have issues to gain any sort of consistency. Butler is one of the best at buckling down on opposing shooters and only allowing one chance at the rim. Expect them to frustrate this SIU team all night long.

Some trends to note. Salukis are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Salukis are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog.

Back Butler.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
