Sports Handicapper Ray Monohan's Picks & Predictions

OVER 59

I know I’m likely alone in this play, but that’s a good thing sometimes when it comes to sports betting! I’m going OVER 59 tonight in the UCLA Bruins vs. Washington State Cougars Pac 12 late night 10:30pm eastern time matchup. 

I see the Bruins offense finally showing some signs of life tonight against the Cougs, and we all know what this Cougars offense is capable of so lets hit the OVER in this one. OF course the Bruins aren’t going to win, but this could be a track meet to start and that favors us betting on the OVER. The line opened with a WSU a -18 pt favorite and the O/U was at 59.5. We now see this line at -18.5 and the O/U is set at 59, I’ve even seen 57 at a few shops, late action is going to come on the OVER in this one I can feel it so hammer as low a line as you can get right now! 

Some quick trends to consider. Over is 7-3 in Cougars last 10 vs. a team with a losing record. and the OVER is 4-1 in Cougars last 5 games in September.

Play on the OVER

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Play the Over 3

Chicago and Cincinnati clash Saturday night with the Over here having nice value.

Chicago has been on a nice run recently in terms of finding the back of the net. Over their last 5, they scored 10 times and in total their games are averaging 3.2 goals per. That’s a great number for us here, especially since they are much more vulnerable on the road. 

They concede plenty more when playing away and take on a Cincinnati team that really likes to play with tempo. 

They’ve conceded the most in the MLS, allowing 74 goals this season. That certainly doesn’t bode well for them against a team like Chicago on Saturday.

Expect this one to be wide open. Both teams should see chances and we should see some goals in Cinci.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLS O/U Play

New York Mets -135

We backed the Mets on the RL yesterday and it worked out great as they dominated the Reds to open their weekend series up. 

Every game is a must win at this point for New York, who is in hopes of a Wild Card spot. 

They have value on the ML here, as they just match up very well with the Reds. They have dominated his series and even played solid in Cincinnati. 

Zack Wheeler gets the ball and he is on a nice run. He has allowed just 1 run in each of his last 4 starts, dropping his ERA for the year significantly. He’s stepping up big time for the Mets, giving them a chance to win every time he takes the mound as of late. 

Look for him to dominate this Reds lineup, that is built with a lot of young guys who are trying to get work for next year.

Some trends to note. Head to head the Mets are 24-8 in the last 32 meetings, and 14-5 in the last 19 meetings in Cincinnati, plus they're 4-1 in their last 5 road games. The Reds are 1-5 in their last 6 during game 2 of a series.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* MLB ML Play

Utah State -3.5

Utah State and San Diego State battle out west and the visitors have the value here. 

The Aggies come in 1-1 on the season, but there is a distinct gap between the offensive abilities between these two teams. 

San Diego State is averaging just 20 points per game and they have no big play ability. That will hurt you as the season goes on, especially against defenses like Utah State's that will stack the box and cause a lot of issues up front. 

Look for them to struggle all night long and really not have much success with the run game which is their bread and butter. 

As for Utah State, they will get a nice push up front with their front 5 and have the Aztecs scrambling defensively. 

Some trends to note. Aggies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.Aggies are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games overall.

Back Utah State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CFB ATS Play

Washington State -18

This is a relatively low number here even for it being at 18.5. 

UCLA is just dreadful. The Bruins have been abysmal all season long and come into this one 0-3 having absolutely zero luck this year. That has been the case for Chip Kelly over the last few seasons as they have been a punching bag for opponents. 

Now they have to deal with this Washington State offense that has a lot of firepower to them. The Cougars are putting up 49.3 points per game and have just picked apart opposing defenses. UCLA has given up nearly 32 a game and that is a generous number all things considered of how bad they've played. 

Redshirt senior Anthony Gordon has taken this offense by a storm and has thrown for 1,324 yards and 12 touchdowns in this young season. Expect him to inflate those stats in a big way come Saturday night.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games.Cougars are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games in September.

Back Washington State ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CFB ATS TOP PLAY 

Notre Dame vs. Georgia Over 59

The marquee matchup Saturday pins Notre Dame and Georgia against one another. 

This Over here has very nice value to work with. 

Georgia has been nearly flawless this season on the offense side. They are beating opponents both with the ground attack and through the air, as they have averaged 49.3 points per game. While this will be the best defense they see, Notre Dame certainly has some gaps that have been exposed. 

Expect Georgia to take their shots down field and really pick apart this ND secondary. 

As for the Fighting Irish, they needed a date with New Mexico last week to get their offensive groove back. They were clicking on all cylinders and will be able to ride that rhythm right into Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Over is 8-3-2 in Bulldogs last 13 vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 16-7 in Fighting Irish last 23 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CFB O/U Play

Nebraska -13.5

The Cornhuskers take on the Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon and this is certainly a lopsided affair. 

Illinois is just a mess of a team. They struggled their way through Uconn and then got handled by Eastern Michigan at home last week. This team is playing with absolutely no confidence right now and that doesn't bode well when Nebraska is coming in. 

The Cornhuskers boast one of the best offenses in the conference and got back in the win column last week.

Nebraska hit their stride last week as they took down NIU, who is typically a tough opponent for the Big 10. They dominated them in every facet and will have that momentum to carry into here on Saturday. 

This is a case where Illinois just won't have enough to keep up with the pace. Nebraska has playmakers who can explode at any moment. Look for them to have some big plays and have Illinois on their heels early.

Some trends to note. Cornhuskers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.Cornhuskers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on field turf.

Back Nebraska.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CFB ATS Play

Florida -14

The Gators open as two touchdown favorites on Saturday afternoon and they have value laying the points here. 

Tennessee finally got in the win column but it took against Tennessee Chattanooga to do so. The Volunteers dropped games to Georgia Southern and BYU to open the season up and will now have to head into the swamp where nothing is ever easy. 

The Gators have won 7 straight in this series at home as they have dominated the Volunteers as of late. 

Look for them to impose their physical play and really get a nice push on this Tennessee team on both sides of the ball. The Volunteers just don't have enough firepower to keep up, as they should get worn out as the game goes on which eventually leads to the flood gates opening. 

Some trends to note. Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.Volunteers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
