Purdue +7.5

The Boilermakers catch a more than a touchdown here in their Sunday afternoon contest in Marshall. While Purdue hasn't been good the past couple seasons, they have reason for optimism heading into this season with more experience and a lot of returning starters.

Purdue returns their entire offensive line which was their real lone bright spot in their 2014. The Boilermakers also have made a clear cut decision on who will start at QB. They'll go with Junior Austin Appleby, who started 7 games in 2014. With him being named the clear #1, it gives Appleby sense of relaxation knowing the job is all his.

Marshall finished 13-1 in 2014, but that compliments a weak schedule and now they lost their star playmaker at QB Rakeem Cato. The Marshall offense will certainly struggle to find rhythm here with a new play caller under center.

After two struggling seasons under head coach Darrell Hazell, the Boilermakers time to win is now. Not saying they will do a complete 180, but this team has a lot of returning players who have much more experience than they've had the past couple years.

Purdue should be able to hold serve in this one with the outside chance of pulling off the straight up win. Getting it over the key number of 7 gives us the value.

Back Purdue ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday NCAAF 8* ATS Play

Pirates vs. Cardinals Under 7

The Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals meet in a battle of two very good teams from the National League Central. The NL Central this year has been nothing short of amazing. Three teams in this division have a record of at least 77-57.

Gerrit Cole starts for the Pirates and he is clearly the ace of the staff. Cole has turned into a superstar this year. He has been remarkably consistent and his stuff is amazing. He has great velocity and movement on his fastball, and that makes him very difficult to hit.

John Lackey is one of the best bargains in baseball, and he has been particularly good when pitching in St. Louis.

Pittsburgh's bats have been inconsistent this year, and St. Louis is down several key players from their normal lineup.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Over

The Diamondbacks and Rockies offer us two very solid offenses with a very subpar pitching matchup on Wednesday night.

The Diamondbacks are just abusing the Rockies' pitching this season as they're hitting .322 with 17 homers and 98 runs scored in 15 meetings. Essentially everyone on the Dbacks roster is drilling the ball right now too. AJ Pollock is hitting .365 with 4 home runs and 10 runs batted in against the Rockies this season. Not to be out done Paul Goldschmidt is hitting .349 with 3 home runs and 12 runs batted in.

Arizona will throw RH Chase Anderson who has a 4.22 ERA on the season. In his career against the Rockies, Anderson has an ERA of 5.77 in 7 starts and is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA on 3 starts this season.

As for the Rockies, RH Jon Gray takes the hill. Gray has a 6.00 ERA and was knocked around for 7 runs in just 1.2 innings of work in his last start. As a team, the Rockies ERA sits at 5.11.

With the way these offenses hit the ball, combined with the two pitchers who don't fare well given the circumstances, we should be in for a Coors Field shootout Wednesday.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* MLB Total Top Play

The Minnesota Twins host the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon.

This is a game between two teams heading in very different directions. The White Sox are 3-6 in their last nine games, and their struggles are personified by Jeff Samardzija. In six starts in the month of August, Samardzija went 0-6 with an 8.82 ERA.

Meanwhile, the Twins are 9-2 in their last 11. They'll send out Kyle Gibson for the finale of this series. The Twins have won each of his last two starts, and there's reason to expect more of the same on Thursday. In four career starts agianst the White Sox, Gibson is 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA and 0.80 WHIP.

The Twins are 13-3 in Gibson's last 16 starts against opponents with a losing record.

Take Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB ML Play.

Pirates vs. Brewers under 7.5

The Pittsburgh Pirates have Francisco Liriano on the hill on Thursday night. The Pirates lefty has been much better on the road (a 2.33 ERA) this year, and he's up against a Milwaukee Brewers team that has struggled against left handed pitching all year long.

Taylor Jungmann has been extremely good in his rookie season. Jungmann sometimes struggles with control, but Doug Eddings is the home plate umpire and he is known for having the biggest strike zone in baseball. That should help Jungmann a lot, and Jungmann is a guy who can really miss bats.

The under is 6-1 in Jungmann's last 7 home starts. The under is 4-1-1 in Liriano's last 6 starts against Milwaukee. Both starters should pitch well throughout this one and with the help of Eddings, we should see a bunch of strikeouts.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Michigan Wolverines +5.5

Michigan opens as a road underdog under the lights on Thursday night at Utah. While the oddsmakers rightfully put Utah as a home favorite, the Wolverines will come into this game extremely pumped up with it beginning the Jim Harbaugh Era.

It was evident Michigan's offense was terrible last year. They ranked near the bottom in every single offensive category and Devin Garner typically struggled to get past the chains. Things have changed a bit at the QB position though as Graduate transfer Jake Rudock is coming in. Rudock is said to be a perfect fit for Harbaugh's system.

Rudock was the Big Ten's 2nd most efficient passer in 2014 and what impresses Harbaugh the most about him as that he takes care of the ball. Rudock is a smart kid who will rarely force the issue.

Michigan also has a scary good RB duo in Derrick Green and Ty Issac. It's unclear who will start, but both will see a lot of time and can be expected to both be in the backfield during some packages.

The hype is there for Michigan and Harbaugh is sure to bust out a few tricks with the National Spotlight watching.

The public will definitely pound this play as the game gets closer because the hype will get more and more coverage. Grab the points now as at +6, this is very valuable.

Back Michigan +5.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Michigan vs. Utah Under 46.5

The Michigan Wolverines are going to improve in a big way under Jim Harbaugh, but it won't happen immediately. Michigan still has a lot of question marks, but most of those come on the offensive side of the football.

Utah led the nation in sacks last year. The Utes are going to get after whoever is at quarterback for Michigan here (likely Jake Rudock). The Wolverines offensive line isn't where it needs to be, and Utah's defensive front should dominate this unit. The Utes defense should control that battle.

While Utah doesn't have a great offense, they do have a great runner in Devontae Booker. He'll get the ball a bunch in this one, but Michigan should have a stout running defense this season. Harbaugh's teams are physical and good against the run.

A lot of running the football from both teams here. Both defenses have the upper hand.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NCAAF O/U Play

TCU -14

TCU begins their quest for a BCS Playoff appearance in Minnesota on Thursday night. The Horned Frogs finished the 2014 season at 12-1, but were turned down for a spot in the Playoff. Now, they start 2015 as the #2 team in the nation with a bit of a chip on their shoulder as they have a lot of doubters to prove wrong.

TCU has a clear cut advantage in just about every spot here on Thursday night. They return starting QB Trevone Boykin, who is arguably the best dual threat QB in the country. Boykin threw for 33 touchdowns and rushed for 8 in 2014 and is one of the main frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy heading into this season.

The Horned Frogs return a compliment of offensive starters that averaged 46.5 points a game last season and has scored 30 or more points in 15 straight games.

On the other side of things, Minnesota returns their Junior QB Mitch Leidner, who was extremely inconsistent in 2014. He had 11 touchdowns to 8 interceptions, which is a ratio set up for disaster.

They also lost his main target, WR David Cobb. With that, the Golden Gophers will look to former RB Rodrick Williams to try and be the #1 receiver.

TCU has a lot to prove, even with this being Week 1. Expect more of the same explosiveness and scoring as soon as the Horned Frogs offense hits the field on Thursday.

Back TCU ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NCAAF ATS Play

Ohio Bobcats -7

The Ohio Bobcats may be on the road but they ease into the season playing at Idaho, possibly the worst team in FBS. The Bobcats will look to be physical and wear down the Vandals over four quarters.

Even though they are from the MAC they should be able to bully this opponent and as long as they are relatively mistake free come up with a double digit victory.

Play on the Bobcats -7.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Baylor ATS

The Baylor Bears meet up with the SMU Mustangs once again and the Bears laying the points is the way to go here.

Baylor welcomes back a majority of their offense that has led the FBS in offense over the past 2 seasons. With that they return a dominant RB and a pair of 1000 yard receivers. Shock Linwood features the explosiveness and big play making on the running side of the ball. Corey Coleman and KD Cannon are the duo that caught over 2000 yards combined to go along with 19 touchdowns.

This year they'll have QB Seth Russell throwing to them, who offers a similar style as last year's QB Bryce Petty.

As for SMU, they have just a terrible offensive core. They averaged an NCAA worst 11.1 points per game and only had 269 yards a game which was 2nd last.

There is a clear discrepancy in terms of talent here. Even with this big of a spread, do not be afraid to lay the points.

Back Baylor ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Boise State -12

The Boise State Broncos take on their previous head coach when Chris Petersen comes back to the blue turf as the Washington Huskies head coach. Petersen is a great coach, but he's working with a huge talent disadvantage in this one.

Washington lost 22 lettermen from last year, and they return only nine starters. This defense was excellent at rushing the quarterback last year, but all of their top pass rushers are gone. The only group that should be decent for the Huskies on defense is the secondary.

Offensively, Washington has even bigger problems. They haven't named a starting quarterback. Whoever the quarterback is will be playing behind arguably the worst offensive line in the Pac-12.

Boise State has to replace their starting quarterback and running back, but their offensive line is loaded with talent. The Broncos defensive front is going to totally control the line of scrimmage here. Overall, Boise State returns 17 starters.

The Broncos have a big talent edge and they should win this one comfortably.

Take Boise State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

BYU +7

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a new coach in Mike Riley. Riley has a totally different system than did previous coach Bo Pelini. Riley needs a specific skill set for this system to work, and it's hard to see it working right away at Nebraska.

Tommy Armstrong is the quarterback for Nebraska, and he hasn't shown to be an accurate passer in the past. Armstrong will be counted on to do a lot in this new offense. BYU will throw a lot of different defensive looks at him, and the Cougars will be in the backfield a lot in this one.

Coach Mendenhall always does a good job having his team prepared, and with Taysom Hill back under center there are far fewer question marks about BYU than there are about Nebraska. Nebraska might be good later in the season, but they shouldn't be from the beginning. Grab the points on the underdog.

Take BYU +7

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Bowling Green +22

The hype machine is getting a little too hot on the Vols and did you notice all of their early injuries. This team is not going to lose to a MAC team at home to start the season but a physical, well coached Bowling Green team is not going to get blown out either. This line has moved from +20.5 to +22. Now is the time to pound it as it crossed that key number.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sun Devils vs. Aggies Over

A pair of teams that return a majority offensive starters battle it out Saturday night. Both the Sun Devils and Aggies feature two of the most prolific and dangerous offenses in all of football.

The Aggies fast paced, hurry up offense is led by QB Kyle Allen. Allen offers a variety of both pass and run packages that keeps defenses off balanced. Allen also has a compliment of solid receivers to throw too. Out wide he's got Josh Reynolds, Speedy Noil, and Seals-Jones who combined for 22 touchdown receptions in 2014.

As for the Sun Devils they bring back plenty of playmakers offensively. DJ Foster has 125 receptions over the past 2 seasons and rushed for over 1000 yards in 2014. Arizona State uses tempo as well and has the ability to take deep shots down the field on every play.

With that, both teams offer a wide variety of plays to confuse the other team's defense. With the tempo and pace of this game, surpassing the Over should be no problem.

Back the Over.

The Houston Astros host the Minnesota Twins on Saturday evening.

We got our first look at this pitching matchup the last time through the rotation and the bats for each side really got going in a 7-5 game that sailed well over the total. Ervin Santana will face off with Lance McCullers once again and similar results can be expected.

Santana has been a bust in his first season with the Twins. He sports a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP on the season, allowing 11 home runs in 11 starts.

As for McCullers, he’s had a fine season as a rookie, but opposing hitters are starting to figure him out. Over his last three starts, McCullers sports a 7.42 ERA.

The over is 11-4 in the Twins’ last 15 road games.

Take the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play.

Notre Dame -10

The Fighting Irish open their season Saturday night under the lights as they welcome in the Texas Longhorns to South Bend. With the way the two teams come into this season, laying the points here is the way to go.

Texas finished up 2014 with just a 6-7 record and was pretty much manhandled by the class of the Big 12. They return QB Tyrone Swoopes, but that does necessarily mean immediate production from their offense. Swoopes struggled a lot last season with his inability to move the chains. He also struggled in the turnover department as he had 11 interceptions in 2014.

Things won't be easy for Swoopes here in Week 1 with a deafening crowd screaming at him, along with Notre Dame's entire linebacking core in place. The Fighting Irish are expected to have one of the best pass rushes in the game to rattle the Junior QB.

On the offensive side of the ball for Notre Dame, Mailk Zaire has been given the starting job deservingly so following his incredible finish in 2014. Zaire led the Fighting Irish to a Music City Bowl win over LSU and has solidified himself as a solid QB in their system.

Texas will only have 5 starters returning on defense, which will give Zaire a very young and unexperienced secondary to throw down field against.

With the crowd rocking and the significant difference on both sides of the ball, Notre Dame is the way to go here in Week 1.

Back Notre Dame ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Wisconsin +14

The Alabama Crimson Tide clearly have a very good team again. There's no reason to expect anything other than an Alabama team that will win a lot of games this year. They do have some question marks. One key question mark is at the quarterback spot.

Blake Sims stepped up in a big way last year, and that allowed Alabama to reach the College Football Playoffs. It's not clear if anyone on this roster can do what Sims did last year. The reports from practices leading up to this game is that the offensive staff is concerned about the passing game.

Wisconsin's defense is good enough to stack the box and try to force Alabama to throw the football. If they aren't able to, it's going to be tough to win by more than 14 points.

Wisconsin will still have a good running game with Corey Clement and a strong offensive line. Take the two touchdowns.

Take Wisconsin.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NCAAF ATS Play

Purdue +7.5

The Boilermakers catch a more than a touchdown here in their Sunday afternoon contest in Marshall. While Purdue hasn't been good the past couple seasons, they have reason for optimism heading into this season with more experience and a lot of returning starters.

They'll go with Junior Austin Appleby, who started 7 games in 2014. With him being named the clear #1, it gives Appleby sense of relaxation knowing the job is all his.

Marshall finished 13-1 in 2014, but that compliments a weak schedule and now they lost their star playmaker at QB Rakeem Cato. The Marshall offense will certainly struggle to find rhythm here with a new play caller under center.

After two struggling seasons under head coach Darrell Hazell, the Boilermakers time to win is now. Not saying they will do a complete 180, but this team has a lot of returning players who have much more experience than they've had the past couple years.

Purdue should be able to hold serve in this one with the outside chance of pulling off the straight up win. Getting it over the key number of 7 gives us the value.

Pirates vs. Cardinals Under 7

The Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals meet in a battle of two very good teams from the National League Central. The NL Central this year has been nothing short of amazing. Three teams in this division have a record of at least 77-57.

Gerrit Cole starts for the Pirates and he is clearly the ace of the staff. Cole has turned into a superstar this year. He has been remarkably consistent and his stuff is amazing. He has great velocity and movement on his fastball, and that makes him very difficult to hit.
