Sports Picks & Predictions

Buffalo +10.5

The Bulls have value grabbing the points.

Syracuse has been a very average team thus far. They haven’t been able to blow any opponents out and they once again are a team that plays extremely slow.

Buffalo is the team that can really knock them out of their rhythm. The Bulls love to play with a lot of pace and they can make this one uncomfortable for Syracuse. Look for them to turn up the tempo and get out in transition here, as Syracuse will struggle out of their half court sets.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog, and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Expect Buffalo to keep this close. Back Buffalo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Texas Tech -3

The Red Raiders have value laying the number.

Texas Tech is 6-1 SU and has a nice situational edge here.

The Jayhawks are just 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games after a 20+ point win. Kansas has covered in just 2 games this season and will struggle with the Red Raiders defensive efforts here.

Texas Tech does not allow anything easy and should be able to control the paint on both sides of the floor. Look for them to do just that as they should dictate the pace this one is played at.

Some trends to note. Jayhawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.Jayhawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog.

Back Texas Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Purdue -4.5

The Boilermakers have value laying the number here.

Ohio State's undefeated record has been a misleading one for the most part. 

EJ Liddell remains questionable for Ohio State and even if he does suit up, he certainly isn't at 100%. They struggled mightily without him last game against Cleveland State, a team that allowed a 40-0 run to Ohio just a few weeks back. 

Purdue has losses to tougher competition and they are eager to get into this matchup here. They come into play 38-14 ATS in their last 52 Wednesday games.

Some other trends to note here. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Purdue.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Colorado -21

This is a nice move on Wednesday night in Colorado.

Nebraska-Omaha has been a wreck thus far and a solid fade. 

They come into Wednesday playing their 5th straight road contest and they have not covered in any of their last 5 games overall. They just took on a Kansas team that blew them out by 45 and now have to deal with a Colorado team that has a very strong defensive core.

Expect things to be extremely hard here for the Mavericks, who are already struggled enough offensively.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Mavericks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Colorado.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida A&M +25

This is just too big of a number here.

Oklahoma has showcased they have plenty of issues on the defensive end thus far, which is going to be attacked here.

The Rattlers haven't shied away from superior competition either. They held their own against Georgia already and they've shown the ability to score. They can attack the rim and aren't shy about working the ball around.

While Oklahoma likes to play fast, this is going to be a game where they can slow things down and frustrate the Sooners.

Some trends to note. Rattlers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Rattlers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Back Florida A&M.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Bryant ATS

The Bulldogs are a nice move with the points here.

This team has been undervalued in this spot. They have an offense that has proven they are going to be one of the tops in the conference and maybe even in the nation in terms of total points. 

Bryant has averaged 101.4 points per game as they play extremely quick. 

Look for them to turn this one into a track meet, which allows them to get into their comfort zone. They should be able to run out in transition and put the pressure on Stony Brook here.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games following three or more consecutive road games. Seawolves are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games overall.

Back Bryant.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Nevada PK

Nevada has value at this kind of price. 

Grand Canyon is typically a tougher place to play actually. They will pack the stands to the brim and be loud inside a small arena.

However, with Covid we won't see any of that here.

Nevada is a team that is also very physical and will cause Grand Canyon a ton of issues. This is by far the toughest team Grand Canyon has seen to this point and we should see them struggle with the size here. Look for Nevada to work the paint and control both sides of the floor in this one.

Some trends to note. Wolf Pack are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Wolf Pack are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Nevada.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Xavier -1

The Musketeers are being undervalued in this position. 

Xavier comes in off a huge win over Cincinnati, a game in which they dictated the pace for a lot of the contest. What was most impressive is the final 7 or 8 minutes, where they attacked on the offensive end and really buckled down defensively. 

That is what they'll have to do here, against an Oklahoma team that has a lot of defensive gaps. 

The Sooners like to play quick and they should be taken out of their rhythm by Xavier, who can turn this into a half court game.

A trend to note here. Sooners are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win. 

Back Xavier.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Florida State -3

This is a very low line here on Wednesday.

Florida State has been dominant at home and are poised for a big season this year.

The Seminoles have won 39 straight non conference games in Tallahassee and return plenty of starters to go along with an incredible freshman class.

FSU has played one game this year and dominated it from start to finish in blowout fashion. They matchup well with this Indiana team that has gone through some cold spurts themselves on the offensive end through their first 4 games.

Some trends to note. Seminoles are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.Seminoles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Detroit +26

This is a solid spot for Detroit here.

Michigan State comes off a huge win over Duke last time out, in a game where they really dominated from start to finish.

This is a huge letdown spot for them. Going from that caliber of an opponent to Detroit is going to cause a lot of focus to not be here. 

On top of that, Joshua Langford continues to battle a sore knee, which will likely have him limited in this one. Expect Detroit to keep this one close as Michigan State just won't have the motivational factor behind them.

Some trends to note. Titans are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog.Titans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Friday games.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -8.5

Gonzaga has value laying the number here. 

The Bulldogs have been a team that has already put a lot of people on notice. They have came out of the gates firing on all cylinders this season, thanks in large part to the pace they play with.

They love to get up and down the floor and have opposing defenses on their heels. 

Look for them to do just that against this West Virginia team that has shown some signs of struggles against some lower tier opponents so far.

Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Mountaineers are 4-12-2 ATS in their last 18 neutral site games as an underdog.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Toledo -9.5

We're laying the points with the Rockets here on Tuesday night.

Toledo has started the campaign off 1-2, but could just as easily be 3-0. They had single point losses to Bradley and Xavier, two teams they should have beaten.

Their win came in blowout fashion against Oakland and they should be able to dictate what goes on here against Cleveland State. While the Vikings do return some of their talent, that honestly may not be the best case for them. They were just 11-21 last season and still have a lot of question marks entering this campaign.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 14-37 ATS in their last 51 Tuesday games. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Eastern Kentucky +17

This is just too many points in this spot. 

Xavier has started the year 3-0, but it hasn't been all that pretty. They needed a last second bucket to beat Bradley, combined with just a 3 point win over Toledo last time out.

EKU is a team that stick with them and cause them some issues. 

They are a solid 2-0 thus far and they are a team that loves buckle down defensively. They simply do not allow any thing easy and put a lot of pressure on opposing shooters. Look for them to do just that here and keep this one close.

Some trends to note. Colonels are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Colonels are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Back Eastern Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Virginia Tech +9.5

Covid has forced Virginia Tech to step in here on Saturday and take on Villanova.

The Hokies replace Temple, who was forced to pause all basketball activities earlier this week. 

This may be a bit of a trap game for the Wildcats. They aren't as prepped to take on VT here as they simply weren't expecting to play them. Combine that with this Hokies team being a very physical and they can keep up here.

Look for Virginia Tech to slow the game down and try to take Villanova out of their element.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games.

Back Virginia Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

TCU -2 

It's been a tough road for the Wildcats this season. Laying this small of a number is valuable on the Horned Frogs.

Kansas State racked up just 10 wins this season and their road woes have been a huge piece of why they have struggled this season. They've won just 1 of 11 road situations this year and the neutral site is not going to be helpful for them. 

TCU showed life down the stretch of the season as 2 of their final 3 wins came against ranked opponents. Expect them to be the aggressor here and look to dictate the pace knowing the struggles Kansas State has, especially when playing from behind.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.  Wildcats are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Minnesota -8

The Golden Gophers have value laying the number in the first round of the Big 10 Tournament here.

It's been an awful season for the Wildcats and there is no other way to put it. This team has been a punching bag for everyone in the conference and Minnesota is just too much for them to handle in this one.

Minnesota took both games against NW this season and come in off a career performance in their regular season finale against the Cornhuskers. The Golden Gophers hit 18 3-points en route to their most impressive win of the season. 

Look for them to carry that momentum into this one and really wear down Northwestern, who struggles mightily to contain teams that play a solid inside out game.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 games following a ATS win. Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

St. Mary's +9.5

This is too big of a number here.

The Bulldogs have shown this season they are very vulnerable at times and this is the perfect case for St. Mary's to get to them. 

St. Mary's comes in off an upset win against BYU last night, in a game where they stood tall defensively as they allowed just 50 points. That will be the difference here as they do have the ability to slow this Gonzaga offense down. 

Expect them to close down on shooters and shut any opportunities at the rim in a game that should be close until the end.

Back St. Mary's.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

UNCG -5.5 

This is a revenge spot here for UNCG 23-8 (14-14-1 ATS) when they take on Chattanooga 19-12 (18-10-1 ATS) Saturday. 

Chattanooga got the best of them in the season finale by 2 points in a game where UNCG really didn't look like themselves. 

This defense is one not known by many, but they are one of the tops in the nation. Coming into Tourney play, Greensboro is conceding just 62.6 points per contest. Look for them to put an emphasis on that early in this one as they now know they cannot allow Chattanooga to get their rhythm early. 

Some trends to note. Chattanooga are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games against UNC Greensboro, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against UNC Greensboro. UNC Greensboro are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games.

Look for the defensive efforts to be at an all time high for UNCG in a game where they frustrate Chattanooga.

Back UNCG.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Auburn

The Tigers have value on the road here Saturday. 

Auburn is in the midst of a 2 game losing skid and this has been a team that has shown the ability to bounce back when they need it the most. 

The Tigers have one of the best offenses not just in the SEC, but in the entire nation and they will come out firing here with it. Auburn has averaged 78 points per game, which ranks 28th in the nation. 

Look for them to pick up the tempo early and catch a Volunteers team on their heels thanks to their aggressive style and ability to attack the rim.

Some trends to note. Auburn are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Tennessee, and 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Tennessee.

Back Auburn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Bowling Green -2½

The Falcons road woes costed them the top spot in the MAC as they dropped games to Miami OH and Kent State.

With Senior Night here in BG, this is going to be an inspired, bounce back performance.

Bowling Green has been dominant at home this season. The Falcons have gone 13-1 in home situations and they've done it with their ability to have a lot of different players step up. 

Look for the Falcons to put an emphasis on being aggressive early on and attack this Buffalo defense that has had it's issues all season long. 

Some trends to note. Bowling Green are 12-4 SU in their last 16 games, 7-0 SU in their last 7 games at home, and Buffalo are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games against Bowling Green.

Back Bowling Green.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Santa Clara -6.5

We're laying the points with Santa Clara here on Thursday night.

Portland has endured plenty of issues on both sides of the floor this season. They come into Thursday in the bottom tier both offensively and defensively, getting outscored on averaged 72-66. 

They'll have their hands full with Santa Clara, who ranks 57th in the nation in points per game and 42nd in field goal percentage. 

This simply isn't the most ideal matchup for them, especially given Santa Clara just knocked them off in their latest victory thanks in large part to their ability to dictate the pace. 

This is worthy of a nice move. 

Back Santa Clara.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Longwood -3

This is a low number to lay here on Longwood. 

The value sits with Hampton being forced away from their home arena, as they have been an absolute wreck on the road. 

Coming into Thursday, Hampton is just 2-13. 

Combine that with Longwood's ability to slow the game down and buckle down defensively and Hampton will find a lot of issues for themselves Thursday night. Expect Longwood to suffocate these shooters and frustrate Hampton in this one.

Lay the small number.

Back Longwood.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Notre Dame +1.5

The Fighting Irish are off a tough loss to Wake and have an opportunity here to really give themselves a signature win. 

Florida State comes in off a loss at Clemson and this has the makings of a very similar game. Notre Dame is a solid 14-3 in home situations this season and have played everyone tough in this building. 

Combine that with the earlier matchup that went down to the wire in Florida State and this Fighting Irish team has the weapons to take down the Seminoles.

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

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Bowling Green +5

The Falcons have value grabbing points here.

Bowling Green is in a revenge spot here after Kent State went into their house earlier this season and demolished them from start to finish. 

The Golden Flashes have had so many issues on the defensive end and this is not a team you want to see. Bowling Green has so many weapons inside and out and they have the ability to pick apart this Kent defense. Look for that to be the difference as they will be much more aggressive and look to set the tone early.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games as an underdog. Falcons are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog.

Back Bowling Green.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Duke -12

The Blue Devils issues have become alarming, but here on Monday things will certainly change for one of the top teams in the nation. 

Duke has dropped 2 in a row, which is rare for a Coach K team. This is the perfect revenge and bounce back spot for them. They were dominated by NC State on the road earlier this season, but the Wolfpack are a much different team when playing on the road. 

Same with Duke here, who will come out with a lot of aggression and fire as they know they need to get back into the win column. Look for them to dictate the pace and tempo here, as they'll come out extremely aggressive against a defense that has a lot of flaws.

Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Blue Devils are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss.

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Notre Dame -2

The Fighting Irish are in a very nice spot here. 

Wake Forest played one of their best games quite possibly in some time aas they took down the #7 Duke Blue Devils in double overtime earlier this week. This is a huge let down spot for them. 

Notre Dame is a tough team that can not only shoot the 3 ball, but they're extremely physical with their inside presence. This is a case where Wake will have some mental roadblocks to get over after the big win and this is not a team you want to deal with in such cases. Look for Notre Dame to put the pressure on early and for Wake to find themselves having some struggles here on the offensive end. 

Notre Dame's defense will be the difference maker come Saturday.

Back Notre Dame.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -3

The Seminoles are the move Saturday afternoon against Clemson. 

Florida State is making a lot of noise this season and their recent run has seem them jump to #6 in the nation. 

The Seminoles came back last Saturday to defeat NC State and followed that up with come from behind win against Louisville on Monday. They're on the fast track for the top spot in the conference and Clemson simply doesn't have the weapons to keep up.

Florida State is far too quick and physical in this spot and this number is simply too low.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Iowa -4

The Hawkeyes are a nice move at home Saturday afternoon. 

Home teams in the Big 10 have been extremely profitable this season. Iowa in particular has gone 13-1 in home situations and they have played some of their best basketball in front of the home crowd. 

Meanwhile, Penn State is just 5-4 away from home and they have tapered off a bit lately. They've lost 2 of 3 and their lone win was a 1 point win over Rutgers at home. 

Look for Iowa to dictate the tempo here and get out early on this Penn State team that has been shaky on the road.

Back Iowa.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Kent +1.5 

The Golden Flashes have value grabbing points here.

Kent State still has an outside shot at the #4 seed in the MAC, but needs to pile up wins here to ensure they at least host a first round game in the MAC tournament. 

Kent State demolished Ohio earlier this season in Kent and the Golden Flashes have some momentum to work off of Tuesday night after beating Miami. Kent State has the speed and physicality to control this one against the Bobcats, who have had their issues on both ends of the floor this season.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Golden Flashes are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Wisconsin Milwaukee -7

The home side has the value here on Thursday night in this matchup. 

Cleveland State and Wisconsin Milwaukee have seen plenty of each other over the recent years and the home side has really had the edge in the series.

Coming into Thursday, the Home team is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Combine that with the favorite going 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 in this series and Wisconsin Milwaukee holds a nice edge. 

A trend to note here. Panthers are 39-14-3 ATS in their last 56 Thursday games.

Back Wisconsin Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Nicholls State -7

Laying the points with the visitors here is a nice move. 

Houston Baptist is a nice fade given the defense they have put up this season. They are one of the worst in the country in almost every category, conceding 94.8 points per game. 

With a loss to Nicholls State already under their belts this season, this is nice an ideal matchup for them. 

Nicholls State puts up 76 points per game and has a nice inside out attack. Look for them to have plenty of open and easy looks, especially at the rim, as they should be able to control this one from the outset.

A trend to note here. Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Back Nicholls State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Mercer -6

Mercer holds value on the road here. 

The Citadel has been a struggle this season and this is not a good opponent for them to have to deal with. 

This is a great situational spot every which way you look at it for Mercer. They come in 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Combine that with them on a 2 game winning streak and they have a lot of momentum here on Wednesday.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Bulldogs are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog.

Back Mercer.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Kent State -10

The Golden Flashes have value laying the number here. 

Kent State is in the midst of a run where they need to find some wins here before MAC tournament play. It's likely they will have to play in a first round game now after their double OT loss to Buffalo, which means clinching home court is important for them. 

Miami OH is the perfect opponent here, given their issues on the road. Miami OH has gone just 1-9 away from home and they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as a road dog. 

Look for Kent State to find their groove here and keep their foot on the gas all night long.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Golden Flashes are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan State -8

The Spartans are a nice move in the NCAA on Tuesday night.

The Spartans welcome in the Iowa Hawkeyes, who have not been one of the best road teams over recent seasons. 

Iowa has gone just 17-37-2 ATS in their last 56 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. That is no small sample size and they're just 4-5 away from home this season. Michigan State has the size and speed to shut down this Iowa offense and we should see the Spartans control the tempo in this one.

Some trends to note here. Spartans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. Spartans are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Florida State -2.5

This is a nice revenge spot for FSU.

The Cardinals come in banged up as they have dropped 2 straight road games. This team has been enduring a lot of issues on both ends of the floor and this is not how you want to enter Monday's matchup.

Florida State has gone undefeated at home this season and they're outscoring their opponents on average by over 16 points per home game.

Some trends to note here. Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Seminoles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Florida State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ole Miss -2

This is a low number to lay here on Ole Miss.

They have a nice edge here with the home court advantage and are worth laying this small of a number. 

Alabama has been a wreck on the road this season. They come in just 3-6 in road situations and we've seen them struggle mightily on both sides of the basketball when playing away from home at times. That is a recipe for disaster here against Ole Miss, who is a solid 10-4 in home situations this season. 

Expect Ole Miss to lean on their defense, as they are one of the best in the conference at shutting down shooters. In particular, they rank 6th in the nation in 3 point percentage against.

Look for them to feed off the energy to a home win.

Back Ole Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Wright State -9

The Vikings went through a nice run where they were giving some teams a lot of issues in the Horizon League.

However, that has since faded off and now fading them is the right move.

Wright State is just going to be too much to handle for this young Vikings team. The Raiders come in 4th in the entire nation in points scored and they are in a nice bounce back spot after getting knocked around by Youngstown State. Wright State hasn't allowed losses to pile up and they already have a 13 point win over CSU under their belts.

Look for them to put their foot on the gas early and run away with this one.

Back Wright State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Baylor PK

This is a nice line here on the Bears Saturday.

Baylor has been a huge surprise in the NCAA this season and they sit at #1 in the nation. They welcome in rival Kansas here and they already have a win under their belts against the Jayhawks. Baylor dominated from start to finish the last time these two teams met in Kansas and the Bears are a tough opponent to deal with at home.

Expect Baylor to come out with even higher intensity on the defensive end in this matchup, similar to the style they played with in Kansas. Baylor ranks third in the NCAA, conceding just 58 points per game.

That is ultimately going to be the difference here in a game the Bears should take at home.

Back Baylor.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Yale -11.5

The Bulldogs have value laying the points here.

Yale is on a nice run situationally any which way you look at it. 

The Bulldogs are 44-11 ATS in their last 55 games as a road favorite for starters. Combine that with them being 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss and this is a nice value play on the visitors here. 

Expect Yale to dictate this pace as Cornell has had issues all season long on both sides of the ball.

Some tends to note. Bulldogs are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games overall. Bulldogs are 76-35-3 ATS in their last 114 games as a favorite.

Back Yale.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

NC State +7.5

The Wolfpack have value grabbing points here

NC State always seems to play Duke tough. No matter the case, the Wolfpack give them fits and hang around.

Combine that with the play of NC State at home this season and this is a nice number to grab. NC State is 11-3 in home situations and they have covered 6 of their last 8 as an underdog. 

Look for them to push the tempo on Duke and not back down, as they have the offensive weapons to compete.

Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games. Blue Devils are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.

Back NC State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

LSU -2.5

The Tigers 18-7 (11-14 ATS) have value at home here vs. Kentucky 20-5 (11-13-1 ATS).

LSU needs to get themselves back on track here after dropping 3 of 4 and playing at home is the perfect scenario. The Tigers have won 7 in a row at home and have played some of their best basketball of the season in this building.

With the battle for the top spot in the SEC on the line here, this is a case where they know they have to play perfect on both ends.

Kentucky hasn't been overwhelming any opponent this season and they have their flaws as well. Expect the Tigers to buckle down defensively and keep the constant pressure on all game long here.

The edge sits with the Tigers and they have the playmakers to come up big in this extremely important game.

Back LSU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Utah +12.5

The Utes have value with the points Sunday night. 

Oregon has been a rollercoaster of a team thus far. After an abysmal second half a week ago in Oregon State, they need a late rush to come back and beat Colorado at home.

This is a team that hasn’t not played with much confidence this season on either side of the ball. 

This is simply too many points to lay here. Utah is a scrappy team that loves to work the ball around utilize a lot of the shot clock. That will have Oregon out of their game and element here. 

Expect Utah to frustrate Oregon in this one and keep it close throughout. 

Some trends to note. Utah are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games this season, and finally 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games played in January.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Chicago State +21.5

This is a huge number on Chicago State here. 

Chicago State isn't obviously going to open a lot of eyes with their name or play thus far into the season. However, as of late, they've been much more competitive and are keeping things close with opponents.

They've covered 3 straight and take on a Grand Canyon team that isn't going to overpower anyone. 

This is a game that will be played a slow pace and shouldn't get out of hand. Look for Chicago State to keep things close with their ability to run a half court offense and get some stops against a Grand Canyon offense that has a lot of flaws.

Back Chicago State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Louisville -6

The Cardinals are in full bounce back mode. 

Louisville went into Georgia Tech earlier this week and failed in almost every aspect en route to an upset loss. 

Now, they have to switch gears quickly in Clemson, but the matchup here heavily favors them. Clemson is one of the worst in the nation offensively and they won't be able to handle the pressure the Cardinals bring. Clemson scores just 66 points per game and just doesn't have much depth. 

Expect Louisville to erase the memory of their latest loss and come out with some aggression in this one.

Some trends to note. Clemson are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.  Clemson are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Coast conference.

Back Louisville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Dayton -14

The Flyers have value laying the big number here. 

Dayton has set the pace in the A-10 and they've done it with their exceptional offensive firepower.

The Flyers sit in the top 10 in the nation in points scored thanks to their superb inside out game. They have the ability to beat teams in the paint and with their shooters. 

Expect them to run on this Massachusetts team here, who sits near the bottom in the conference on the defensive end. 

Dayton should be able to dictate the pace and do what they want here, as they roll on Saturday.

Back Dayton.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Akron -3.5

The Zips have value on the road here Friday night.

Akron sits 2nd in the MAC and comes in with a lot of momentum after knocking off the leader of the group in Bowling Green. 

The Zips are getting it done on both ends of the floor, particularly when it comes to 3 point shooting. As a team, Akron is shooting 38% from behind the arc, which is above and beyond when it comes to the nation standings. Look for Akron to continue that here and really have their way with this CMU defense.

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

Back Akron.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Florida -5.5

The Gators 14-9 (8-15 ATS) laying the number here is the move.

Florida is in full bounce back mode now. They were just dominated in every which way Saturday in Ole Miss and this is the perfect opponent to bounce back against.

A&M 11-11 (9-13 ATS) is just far too inconsistent. They struggle on both sides of the ball and their lack of offense at times cannot make up for the defense. Expect them to have plenty of frustrations on Wednesday as this Florida team is far more physical and quick.

Some trends to note. Florida are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games against Texas A&M. Aggies are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games. Head to head the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Florida should dictate this one from the outset.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Bowling Green +7 

The Falcons (18-6) have value grabbing the points. 

The preseason MAC favorite has turned things up and this is far too many points for them to be catching. 

The one thing the MAC has proven this season is that anyone can beat anyone, home or away. Bowling Green has been great on the road as of late, covering in 6 of their last 8 games away from home. 

The underdog has also been a nice bet in this series. The underdog has gone 6-1 ATS in the last 7 head to head meetings.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. Falcons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Back Bowling Green.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

San Francisco

San Francisco 16-9 (11-12-1 ATS) was a fade bet for us on Thursday night and it worked out tremendously. However, in this spot, they have value against BYU 18-7 (15-9 ATS). 

The Dons have seemed to show up for top tier competition. They gave Gonzaga everything they could handle just a week ago, but after a tough loss there, they came out completely sluggish against Pacific. 

Expect them to come out with a lot of fire here in this one, as this offense is so tough to contain. They put up 76.1 points per game and love to attack the rim. They have the playmakers to keep up in this one, with a shot at stealing it.

Some trends to note. San Francisco is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games when playing on the road against BYU. BYU is 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games played on a Saturday.

Back San Francisco.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Murray State

Murray State 17-6 (10-10-1 ATS) is the move Saturday night. 

This is a pure rebound spot for Murray State. The Racers went into Belmont on Thursday night and simply couldn't get over the hump in the 2nd half. 

Despite the loss, Murray State has still won 9 of their last 10 overall as they're doing it on both ends of the floor. They rank near the top in total offense and defense in the conference, putting up 77 points to just the 65 they concede. 

With Tennessee State's 15-9 (14-8-1 ATS) issues on the defensive end, this is a game Murray State will look to get out early in. Expect them to get their groove back and really attack this weak defense.

Some trends to note. Murray State is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played in February. Tennessee State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games when playing at home against Murray State.

Back Murray State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Louisville

The Cardinals 20-3 (12-11 ATS) are in a nice spot here Saturday.

Virginia 15-6 (7-14 ATS) just isn't the team they've been in the past. While they still come 15-6, they just haven't had the same spark in past seasons. 

The Cavaliers struggled with Clemson all night long earlier this week and Louisville is going to be far too much for them on the offensive end. The Cardinals put up 75 points per contest compared to just the 59 Virginia has. 

Expect the Cardinals to really put their foot on the gas and have Virginia playing this game at a very uncomfortable pace.

Some trends to note. Virginia is 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games. Louisville is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.

Back Louisville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CBB ATS Play

Akron -13

The Zips 16-6 (12-8 ATS) have had over a week off to think about their loss to rival Kent State.

Now they will try to flip the script and put an end to a tough 2 game losing skid they're currently in the midst of. 

They have a huge edge over the Eastern Michigan Eagles 12-10 (9-9 ATS) here. Akron has been dominant at home thus far, going 10-2 in home situations. Combine that with EMU scoring just 64.9 points per game and the Eagles are in for a rough day on Saturday.

Expect Akron to get out and run on Eastern Michigan, pushing the tempo and allowing themselves to find their shooters in transition. 

Some trends to note. Akron is 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games. Akron is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games played in February.

Back Akron.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Auburn 20-2 (11-11 ATS) has value at home on Saturday afternoon. 

Auburn comes in off a wild come from behind win over Arkansas this past week. The Razorbacks gave them all they could handle and led by double digits in the 2nd half before a late rush by Auburn put the game into OT. 

Auburn is just so tough of a team to guard as they have the ability to not only shoot the ball, but they have playmakers who can control the paint area. 

LSU 17-5 (10-12 ATS) struggled mightily with Vanderbilt on the defensive end and this is going to be an even tougher task for them. Look for Auburn to dictate how this game is played for LSU to struggle once again here.

Some trends to note. LSU is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games. LSU is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games against Auburn.

Back Auburn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -2

The Golden Flashes 16-7 (10-10-1 ATS) are in a revenge spot, on the road here versus the NIU Huskies 14-9 (11-11 ATS).

Kent State has taken it to some of the elites in the MAC, but they’ve also fallen in some games they should have won. They take an NIU team who knocked them off in Kent earlier this season and it’s always extremely hard to sweep this Golden Flashes team.

Kent State is a physical group and they are in a full bounce back spot after falling to Ball State Tuesday. The Golden Flashes have proven they can win on the road as they went into Buffalo two weeks ago and took down a tough Bulls team.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Huskies are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 home games.

Look for Kent to come out fast here and really go right at NIU. They were very tentative in their first matchup, but that won’t be the case here.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Pacific +7.5

Pacific 17-8 (9-13-1 ATS) has value grabbing the points here on Thursday night.

San Francisco 16-8 (11-11-1 ATS) is in a major let down spot here. Saturday night in front of a capacity crowd, they took #2 Gonzaga to the end of the line, but ultimately fell short. Now, they have to shift gears quickly here and this has the potential to have them a little distracted after playing a game with such emotion. 

There won't nearly be as much crowd noise and enthusiasm as there was Saturday and Pacific is not a team to overlook. They are one of the best in the conference on the defensive end, allowing just 64.5 points per game. Look for them to buckle down defensively and really frustrate San Francisco here.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 Thursday games. Dons are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite.

Back Pacific.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -2

The Wolverines have value laying the low number. 

Ohio State has just been a much different team on the road versus when they play at home. The Buckeyes have struggled mightily in Big 10 play away from home and with this being a rivalry game, you know Michigan and the crowd will be up for the task. 

The Wolverines will also get a nice boost with Zavier Simpson returning to the lineup. He adds depth and another scoring threat to a lineup that loves to utilize a lot of different players. 

It's also important to note here that the home team in this series has gone 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 

Look for Michigan to control this game and come away with a win.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

USC +1

The Trojans 17-4 (12-9 ATS) have the edge against Colorado Saturday night. 

Colorado 16-5 (10-10-1 ATS) comes in off an upset loss to UCLA on Thursday night as this team just isn't the same on the road. That is not a good sign when they take on a USC team who is 9-1 thus far in home situations. 

The Trojans could very well be ranked, as they have won 5 of their last 6 overall with the lone loss coming in overtime. 

Look for USC to dictate the tempo from start to finish here, as the Buffaloes have had their issues with teams that play at the Trojans' pace.

Some trends to note. USC are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games, and are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home.

Back USC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Indiana +6.5

The Hoosiers 15-6 (10-11 ATS) have value on the road Saturday. 

Ohio State 13-7 (11-9 ATS) has trended in the wrong direction since their huge win over Kentucky earlier this season. The Buckeyes looked as if they may be playing for one of the top seeds in the tournament, but the bottom completely fell out after a loss to Minnesota.

Now, there is questions whether or not they even crash the tournament and Indiana is not an ideal matchup for them.

The Hoosiers won earlier this season against Ohio State, in a game where they dominated on the defensive end. Ohio State just has too many inconsistencies on the offensive end and will have it's issues once again against Indiana. 

Some trends to note. Indiana are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games. Ohio State are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games, and are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games, and 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against an opponent in the Big Ten conference.

Look for Indiana to control the paint and really force the Buckeyes into some frustrating shots.

Back Indiana

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Belmont -14.5

Belmont 14-7 (10-10 ATS) has dropped back to back games and is in desperate need of a win here.

This is the perfect matchup for them, as Tennessee Tech has been a wreck all season. They come in just 5-16 (6-13 ATS) this season and their issues stem on both sides of the ball. 

Expect Belmont to run wild on this defense, especially in transition where they struggle. Look for Belmont to put an emphasis on getting out of the gates fast here, as they know they can bury this Tech team early. 

Some trends to note. Belmont are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games, 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games played in January, and 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against Tennessee Tech. Tennessee Tech are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games at home.

Back Belmont.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Air Force -4

The Falcons 9-12 (10-10 ATS) have value laying the small number on Tuesday. 

Air Force has put a couple impressive wins on their resume thus far into the season and they welcome in a Fresno State 6-14 (7-11-1 ATS) team that has struggled on both sides of the ball. 

Fresno State ranks near the bottom offensively, putting up just 67 points per game. Opposing teams have had a field day in transition, something Air Force loves to do. The Falcons will look to get out and run in this one, as Fresno State will have their hands full slowing them down. 

Some trends to note here. Falcons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games. Falcons are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 games following a ATS loss.

Back Air Force.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Georgetown -1

The Hoyas 12-8 (9-10-1 ATS) have value at home Tuesday vs. the Butler Bulldogs 16-4 (11-8-1 ATS). 

Georgetown is a tough team to handle with their length and physical play. They have also played exceptionally well in home situations thus far. They are 9-3 at home and they have the ability to match the Bulldogs here on both ends of the floor. 

Georgetown puts up nearly 80 points per game as they love to attack the rim and draw contact. Expect them to control the paint throughout in this one, as their physical play is just going to be too much . 

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 Tuesday games. Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Back Georgetown. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Michigan State -3

The Spartans 14-5 (9-10 ATS) are in a perfect spot to bounce back here. 

Indiana knocked off Michigan State earlier this week after the Spartans erased an early double digit hole. Tom Izzo has always been known to bounce back in a big way after a tough loss and Minnesota 11-8 (12-6-1 ATS) is the perfect opponent to do so against. 

While they come in off a win over the Buckeyes, this team can’t match the physical play of Michigan State.

The Spartans can impose their will and really have this Golden Gophers team on their heels.

Some trends to note. Michigan State are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games, are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against Minnesota. Minnesota are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games when playing at home against Michigan State.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Richmond +6

Richmond 15-4 (11-8 ATS) has value grabbing points here.

Dayton 17-2 (11-7-1 ATS) has taken the nation by storm jumping all the way up to number 7 as they have been one of the more impressive teams this season. 

However, this is a bit of a trap spot on the road.

Richmond sits 2nd in the conference and is quietly having a phenomenal season. They come in winners in 5 of their last 6 and have really dominated with their stellar defense.

That will give them a shot here on Saturday as they have the ability to go toe toe with Dayton. Expect them to match the speed and intensity in a game that should go down to the wire here.

Some trends to note. Richmond are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, and 9-1 SU in their last 10 games at home.

Back Richmond.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State +1.5

The Vikings (7-14) have the value Saturday afternoon in Cleveland.

Cleveland State's 7 wins thus far come actually as a surprise as this team has played well overall. For the expectations they had with a first year head coach, they have secured wins and have been in a lot of contests against good teams. 

They welcome in Wisconsin-Milwaukee after falling just short against a tough Green Bay team on Thursday. The Vikings have one of the better inside presences in the Horizon League with Algevon Eichelberger leading the way. Look for them to work the offense through him and really control the tempo in this one as Wisconsin-Milwaukee really struggles on the road.

Some trends to note. Wisconsin-Milwaukee are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games. Cleveland State are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games when playing at home against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -3

The Wolverines (11-7) have hit a major speed bump, but have a chance to bolster their resume here with a win over a ranked opponent.

They welcome in the Fighting Illini on Saturday and this is a low number to lay. 

Michigan matches up well with the play in the paint here. The Wolverines can control both ends of the floor inside as they have the physicalness to matchup Illinois' big men. Look for them to work the ball inside to the likes of Jon Teske, who can make a huge difference here. 

Some trends to note. Michigan are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Saturday.. Illinois are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Michigan.

Back Michigan.

Goo Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Michigan State -3

The Spartans (14-4, 6-1 Big Ten) have value laying this low of a number here.

Michigan State has figured a lot of things out since the beginning of the season and are in a nice place right now. They have won 9 of their last 10 and have had some time to rest up with their latest victory coming last Friday against Wisconsin.

They matchup well here with Indiana, a team they can really dominate the paint against. Michigan State is one of the most physical teams in the country. Look for them to make their presence known early and go right at this Hoosiers defense.

Some trends to note. Spartans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Spartans are 25-8 ATS in their last 33 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Michigan State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Tulsa +3

Tulsa (12-6) has value grabbing points here.

While Memphis typically gets all the attention in the AAC, Tulsa is quietly putting together a nice run.

At 12-6 this season, they come in winners of 4 of their last 5 overall as they're getting it done on the defensive end. Tulsa has allowed just 61, 49, and 54 points against in their last 3 wins as they have allowed nothing easy. 

Memphis has had it's issues on the road this year and this is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Some trends to note. Golden Hurricane are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Golden Hurricane are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

Back Tulsa.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Alabama -9

The Crimson Tide (10-7) is the move on Wednesday night. 

Alabama is in a nice situational spot every which way you look at it. 

The have been a money bet when laying points, going 7-0 ATS in their last 7 as a favorite. Combine that with them being 11-1 ATS in their last 12 after covering the previous game and there is a lot of value on the visitors. 

Alabama's pace is going to be the difference maker here. Vanderbilt struggles with fast teams and simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up here. 

Some trends to note. Crimson Tide are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games. Crimson Tide are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Back Alabama.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Miami +17.5

The Hurricanes 10-7 (9-8 ATS) plus the points are the move here.

Duke 15-3 (10-8 ATS) has dropped back to back games and they’re just not as dominant as they’ve been in recent years. 

The struggles come on both ends of the floor, especially down the stretch of games. Miami plays a slow enough tempo where they can take Duke out of their comfort zone.

Look for this to be a very grind it out type of game where both teams chew a lot of shot clock and are forced into some tough shots.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

TCU +3

The Horned Frogs 12-5 (6-10 ATS) catching points are worth the move.

TCU is in prime bounce back mode after back to back struggles. This is the perfect opponent for them in this spot, as Texas Tech 12-5 (8-9 ATS) plays a very similar style to them. 

TCU can win this game with their defensive efforts, where they control the paint and suffocate these Red Raiders shooters. 

Some trends to note here. Texas Tech are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games. TCU are 12-5 SU in their last 17 games, and are 13-2 SU in their last 15 games at home, lastly TCU are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games.

Expect a low scoring game that comes down to the wire here. The points are the safe route with the home side. 

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Day.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

West Virginia -8.5

The Mountaineers (14-3, 3-2) laying the number here is a nice move versus the Texas Longhorns 12-5 (6-11 ATS) on Monday. 

West Virginia is in a true rebound spot here. They were knocked around Saturday by Kansas State in a game they were dominated from start to finish. 

That doesn't sit well with this team, who has one of the best coaches for bouncing back. Huggins will have this team ready to rumble. The Mountaineers will certainly have the clamps down on the defensive end here and be able to frustrate Texas all night long here.

Expect them to have the pressure on and control the tempo in this one.

Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. Mountaineers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -5.5 

The Golden Flashes (13 - 4) have value laying the points.

This is a bounce back game fro Kent State, who saw their frantic comeback fall short against Miami OH. 

Kent State figures to be right in the conversation for the MAC this season as they have one of the best offensive attacks in the conference. WMU has dropped 3 in a row and come in reeling. This is not a good match up for them given how quick Kent plays. Look for them to struggle on both sides of the ball all night long here.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Golden Flashes are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Fresno State +7.5

The Bulldogs (5-11, 1-4) have value grabbing the points here. 

San Diego State (17-0, 6-0 Mountain West) has quietly opened their campaign in absolute dominant fashion. Not too many people have taken notice because of the west coast time slots they typically play in, but there is a lot of talent on this side.

However, this is not a good matchup for them. Fresno State has played very well in this series as they always give them issues. The Bulldogs have won 7 of the last 10 meetings overall and the underdog has covered in 10 of the last 12. 

Combine that with Fresno's 81-26 record at home over the last 5+ years and they should be able to keep this one close with a chance to steal it late.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Bulldogs are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS loss.

Back Fresno State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Memphis -4

The Memphis Tigers 12-3 (8-6-1 ATS) have value laying the points here. They look to put the brakes on a 2 game losing skid and this is the perfect matchup for them.

South Florida 8-8 (9-7 ATS) is not a team that will overpower anyone and the Tigers can really look to control the inside here.

That’s been the issue during this mini struggle, as Memphis hasn’t been able to get into their comfort zone. That won’t be the case here as they should have their way from the outset, putting pressure on early.

Some trends to note. Memphis is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games. Memphis is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the AAC.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

USC +1

The Trojans 12-3 (7-8 ATS) and Bruins 8-7 (7-8 ATS) renew their rivalry and the value sits with the visitors here.

USC is in a huge rebound spot. They were trounced by Pac-12 rival Washington last time and will look to get some frustrations out on the Bruins. UCLA has had it's issues all season long, losing games they shouldn't and just not playing up to par at all. 

They're now in some danger early on this season and they do not matchup well at all with the Trojans. 

UCLA ranks near the bottom in almost every shooting category. Combine that with their struggles on the defensive end and they should be in for a long night. 

Some trends to note. USC are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games played in January. UCLA are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the Pacific-12 conference.

Back USC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Oklahoma +2

The Sooners 11-3 (5-8-1 ATS) have a nice angle here against the Cyclones 7-7 (7-7 ATS) on Saturday night.

Iowa State has struggled as a whole this season and in particular they've had issues against top tier teams. The Sooners are a dominant force on both sides of the ball and should be able to run this game.

The Cyclones have dropped 3 straight, which includes a loss to FAMU. They in the midst of an awful streak and seeing a fast paced team like Oklahoma is not what they need right now.

Look for the Sooners to get out and run on them, really forcing them into some frustrations situations early on. With the speed and physical play the Sooners bring, it is going to just be too much for Iowa State to handle.

Some trends to note. Iowa State are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games played on a Saturday. Oklahoma are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games this season.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Villanova -7.5

The Wildcats 11-3 (6-7-1 ATS) battle Georgetown 11-5 (9-7 ATS) on Saturday with the home side having the value.

Villanova played an impressive game against Creighton earlier this week, where they had to continue to battle back. Eventually, they got the key stops combined with some timely buckets to grab a win on the road. 

Now, they return home against a Georgetown team that doesn't matchup well. They have struggle mightily on the defensive end and are allowing opposing teams to shoot 35% from beyond the arc. That is a huge issue here given how well Villanova shoots the ball. Expect that to be the difference here in a game that ends up lopsided. 

Some trends to note. Villanova is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games when playing Georgetown University. Villanova is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Georgetow…

Back Villanova.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ball State +5

Ball State 9-6 (8-6 ATS) has value grabbing points here. 

The Cardinals have been overlooked a bit this year in the MAC as the Zips 12-3 (8-5 ATS) have been the team to get all the attention. 

Ball State is no easy opponent and they come in with some solid momentum. The Cardinals have won 3 straight and their defensive efforts have been tops in the MAC. Ball State comes in giving up just 61 points per game. They allow nothing easy and have done a great job shutting down shooters. Look for them to pick up the pressure even more here, knowing how good some of these Akron shooters are.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Cardinals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Ball State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

North Carolina -4.5

The Tar Heels 4-5 (4-4-1 ATS) storied franchise has been an absolute wreck thus far into the 2019-2020 campaign. 

With everything going wrong for UNC, they now have a chance to bounce back and grab a decent win here at home against Pittsburgh. 6-3 (6-3 ATS)

North Carolina was knocked around by Georgia Tech on Saturday, a game that saw them start 0 for 16 from the field and down by 23. Roy Williams is the perfect guy in this spot to help them rebound in a big way. 

Pittsburgh isn't an overpowering team on either side of the ball and will have it's issues with UNC's length. 

Expect North Carolina to come out with a lot purpose in this one. 

Lay the points.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Texas Tech -3

The Red Raiders 10-3 (6-7 ATS) are a nice move laying the points at home vs. Baylor on Tuesday 11-1 (7-5 ATS).

This team is just so dominant at home and they showcased that last time out against Oklahoma State. Texas Tech dominated from start to finish and they did it with a variety of factors. 

Look for them to win this one on the defensive end as they utilize their length and ability to shut down shooters better than most teams in the country.

Combine that with their attacking game and they can really look to get some easy looks at the rim.

Some trends to note. Baylor are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against Texas Tech, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in the Big 12 conference. Texas Tech are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, and are 15-0 SU in their last 15 games at home. Plus they're 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games when playing at home against Baylor.

Back Texas Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State +2.5

The Buckeyes 8-0 (7-1 ATS) and Terrapins 3-6 (4-5 ATS) clash Tuesday and the visitors have value.

Ohio State is in search of some answers after dropping games to West Virginia and Wisconsin. Despite the losses, Ohio State still is much deeper than this Maryland team.

We’ve seen the Terrapins struggle at times and Ohio State is much more physical than them.

Expect the Buckeyes to control the tempo and dominate the paint here, as their inside presence are going to be too much to handle.

Some trends to note. Maryland are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games, are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games, and are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against Ohio State. Ohio State are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games this season, and they're 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Big 10 conference.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

West Virginia -2

The West Virginia Mountaineers 11-2 (7-6 ATS) are in a bounce back spot Monday night when they matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys 9-4 (6-7 ATS).

After a big win over Ohio State, West Virginia nearly added another huge win to their resume. They fell in the 2nd half to Kansas and now will look to Oklahoma State Monday. West Virginia is just more physical and quicker than Oklahoma State. Look for them to control the tempo and dominate the paint.

With that in mind, the Cowboys will have their issues on the defensive end and struggle to slow the Mountaineers down.

Some trends to note. West Virginia are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games at home.

Lay the small number.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga -21

The Bulldogs are in store for a huge game here against Pepperdine.

Pepperdine has dropped back to back games and offensively they’ve looked ugly in both.

Now, they get to go up against an offense that can beat you with so many weapons and so many different angles. That’s a recipe for disaster here as Gonzaga showcased what they could do last time out, trailing by 7 at half to what was eventually a blow out win for them.

With Gonzaga playing two straight games where they weren’t at their best, this is a matchup they come out firing in and really setting the tone early.

Some trends to note.Bulldogs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Oregon -5

The Ducks are in a nice bounce back spot Saturday.

Oregon comes in off a loss to Colorado, a game where the Buffs just shot at almost an unrealistic rate. That was one of those games you just have to chalk it up and regroup.

Now, they get to see a young Utah team that they can really take advantage of.

Expect them to push the tempo on Utah, who loves to try and slow things down. If they can get out in transition, it’ll be a long night ahead for this Utes team. 

Some trends to note. Ducks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games.. Ducks are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Lay the small number.

Back Oregon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

WSU -7.5.

Wichita State #24 (12-1) wraps up their non-conference schedule with an inaugural AAC-SEC game versus Ole Miss  (9-3) at 3 p.m. Saturday in Koch Arena on ESPNU.

Shockers haven't lost at home all year, and I don't see Breein Tyree getting anything too easy around the rim with the WSU shot blockers hanging around (Jaime Echenique, Asbjorn Midtgaard and Mo Udeze) 

It's clear to me that the biggest difference in this game will be the Shockers depth. Ole Miss just won't keep up in this game. Too many rebounders, too many good shooters, and throw in the shot blockers and this won't be a good outing for the Rebels. I think the Shockers will improve their free throw % as well, as it's been lagging of late against a team that gives up a lot of fouls and I'm on the Shockers ATS.

Some trends to consider.  Mississippi are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played in January. Wichita State are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games, are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games, and 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home.

Back WSU -7.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* NCAAB ATS Play

Ohio State -8.5

The Buckeyes will be in full bounce back mode here against Wisconsin.

Expecting a sold out Value City Arena on Friday, Ohio State will look to erase the memory of their loss to West Virginia on Sunday in Cleveland.

The Buckeyes now sit 5th in the country and this is the perfect opponent to bounce back against.

Wisconsin plays just too slow and doesn't have enough weapons to compete with this Buckeyes speed. Ohio State will look to get out early in this one and run on the Badgers.

With that, they should find a nice advantage in transition, throwing Wisconsin off their game plan.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. Buckeyes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State +8

The Golden Flashes have value grabbing the points here.

After a break for the holidays, Kent State is back in action and they've endured a ton of success in 2019. 

They come in with 10 wins already as they have showcased they have a lot of weapons to work with. They also have shown they can compete with top teams over the recent seasons too. This is a deep club that can match the Bulldogs' intensity, keeping things close throughout.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.Golden Flashes are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

West Virginia +6.5

The Mountaineers battle the Buckeyes in Cleveland on Sunday and grabbing the points is a nice move here.

This figures to be a very scrappy game, as both teams love to play physical. 

Expect the Mountaineers to slow the tempo down and work the ball around, as they love to try and control the paint. That will be the biggest key here, as they can really put their emphasis on this matchup with going right at the Buckeyes. 

Expect a back and forth game through out and that should come down to the final moments.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games. Mountaineers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Washington -1

The Huskies have value laying just a point in the Diamond Head Classic Championship.

They’ve dominated their way through this tournament with absolutely dominant defense and timely offense. 

They are by far the most physical team here and they’ll look to dominate the paint against a Cougars team that is very tough. Expect this to be a physical matchup both ways, with the key being the Huskies big men. 

They’re just so tough to slow down and they’ll have their way on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Houston are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Pacific-12 conference. Washington are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games, are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games, and are 10-2 SU in their last 12 games this season.

The value sits with the Huskies.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State -2.5

The Buckeyes have value laying the small number here. 

Kentucky struggled all night long with Utah in their opener of the CBS Sports Classic in Las Vegas. Eventually, they did erase a 15 point deficit, only to fall in the end by 3. 

Now they have to take on an Ohio State team that is not only deep, but just so difficult to guard. Look for the Buckeyes to control the tempo here and really dominate the paint, something Kentucky simply could not do against Utah.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Buckeyes are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Syracuse -12

The Orange have value laying the points.

Syracuse takes on an Oakland team that hasn’t performed well at all this season, especially against top tier teams.

Oakland has been dropped badly by the likes of Michigan State and Maryland already this year and this Syracuse defense is going to really cause them a lot of issues.

Look for this to be very similar to the Michigan State matchup for Oakland, where they struggle to get open looks. The Orange will put the clamps down and be able to win this battle with their physical play.

Some trends to note. Oakland are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Wednesday. Syracuse are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home, and are 12-5 SU in their last 17 games played in December.

Back Syracuse.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Gonzaga +3.5

The Bulldogs have value on the road in Arizona. 

Gonzaga is always a tough team to crack. 

Offensively, this team is just too much at times and right now they're in quite a stride to start the season. The Bulldogs sit at 10-1 and took down another Pac-12 foe last time out in Washington. 

The road has proven to never be an issue for them and they'll see a very similar style in this Arizona team like the one they saw in Washington. 

Expect the Bulldogs to get out and run here, as they are at their best when they're able to push the tempo. Arizona struggles to slow teams down that can shoot the 3 and they'll have their hands full all night long in this one.

Some trends to note here. Gonzaga are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games. Bulldogs are 22-10-1 ATS in their last 33 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Arizona are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Georgia +5

The Bulldogs have value on the road Saturday against ASU. 

Arizona State has been a nice fade over their last few games and they have a lot of issues on the defensive end. 

They've failed to pull away from some lower tier teams and this is not an ideal matchup at all for them. Georgia plays very physical and can control the paint.

Averaging 87 points a game, the Bulldogs offensively are in quite a rhythm. They'll have their way with this Sun Devils' defense and really put an emphasis on crashing the offensive boards. 

Some trends to note. Georgia are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games, are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games played in December, and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Georgia will control the tempo of this one and look to put their mark on the paint early. 

Back Georgia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* CBB ATS Play

Seton Hall -3

Seton Hall has value on the road here at Rutgers.

Rutgers has been a decent team thus far into their 2019-2020 campaign, but they run into a Seton Hall team that loves to run. 

The Pirates are scoring over 80 points per game as they love to get out in transition. 

That will cause a heap of issues for the Scarlet Knights, who haven't done well against fast teams in recent years. They struggle to slow them down and typically give up easy looks at the rim. 

Combine that with the way Seton Hall can shoot the 3 ball and this has the receipt to overwhelm Rutgers. 

Ultimately, there simply isn't enough firepower from the home side here. 

Some trends to note. Pirates are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. Plus they're 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The road team is 21-6 ATS in the last 27 meetings.

Seton Hall has been a great bounce back team. After they fell short to Iowa State, this is a nice spot to bounce back in a big way.

Back Seton Hall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

*RARE* Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY 

Michigan -3

The Wolverines have value here at home Saturday afternoon. 

Michigan ran into Illinois on Wednesday as the road in the Big 10 is never easy to play in. 

This is going to be a battle, but the Wolverines have been a great bounce back team. They come into play on Saturday with one of the top offenses not just in the Big 10, but in the entire nation. 

They boast a near 50% field goal percentage and are shooting 38% behind the arc. The numbers seem to step up at home, giving them a huge edge on Saturday.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games, are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 home games, and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Oregon has had it's issues on the defensive end. Look for them to struggle against this very physical Wolverines' offense.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Michigan PK

The Wolverines have value at PK price. 

They head into Illinois and while road conference games are always tough, there is a huge talent gap between these two teams.

Michigan's lone loss came at the hands of the #1 team in the nation and the Fighting Illini are just 6-3 this year. They have been far too inconsistent to trust and this Wolverines team is going to really control the paint in this matchup.

Look for Michigan to dominate from the start with their inside game, as they are far more physical than the Illini offense.

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Wolverines are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Maryland +1

Catching a point here with the Number 4 team in the nation has great value.

Maryland comes in off a dramatic win over Illinois in their Big Ten Opener, as they fell behind by 15 points before rallying for a 1 point win. 

They've got their scare out of the way already and head into Penn State still with a ton of confidence. As for the home side, they were throttled by another top Big 10 team in Ohio State on Saturday as they certainly have their issues on the defensive end.

Expect Maryland to expose those here and really attack the Nittany Lions in transition, where they struggle the most.

Some trends to note. Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.Terrapins are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 Tuesday games.

Back Maryland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Penn State +8.5

The Nittany Lions have value grabbing the points. 

Ohio State has taken the college basketball world by storm with their dominant performances thus far into the season. Their latest was on the road in North Carolina and now everyone has their eyes on them.

This is a bit of a letdown spot for them. A noon start after a huge win combined with a Penn State team coming to town that is no pushover by any means.

Penn State comes in 7-1 and this offense has put up some nice numbers thus far. They are averaging 80 points per game through the first 8 and they have shown in the past they can go toe to toe with Ohio State. 

Some trends to note.  Nittany Lions are 18-7-3 ATS in their last 28 road games. Nittany Lions are 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 games overall.

Look for Penn State to slow the game down here and try to knock Ohio State off their element. Combine that with Ohio State maybe overlooking Penn State some after their nice run to start the year and we should be in for a close one throughout. 

Back Penn State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Oklahoma -6

The Sooners have value laying the points on the road here on Thursday.

Oklahoma will be looking to start the season 7-1 for the third straight season here on Thursday night. 

They matchup very well with this North Texas group, that comes in just 3-5 while averaging 61 points per game. They have lacked any sort of spark offensively and it's going to be certainly tough to find here against this Sooners team. 

Oklahoma comes in off a dominant performance over Missouri as Austin Reaves continues to carry the load. Look for him to be the difference maker Thursday, as the Mean Green simply do not have an answer for him on the defensive end.

Some trends to note. Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Mean Green Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State +4.5 

The Buckeyes have value grabbing the points here. 

This line has actually jumped up a few points over night as Ohio State and North Carolina meet in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

This figures to be one of the best on the slate as the Buckeyes have a legit shot here. North Carolina comes in just 2-5 ATS in their 7 games played overall, as they're making everything close. Ohio State dominated a top tier team in Villanova already once this season as the are set to get up for games like this. Look for the Buckeyes to assert their presence early on the road with their inside game, as they have the ability to control the paint and really make life difficult for this UNC defense.

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

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
