Why is the Charlotte - Houston O/U so high?

Italy · 02-02-13, 12:07 PM

both teams have no defense and can score more than 100 points

Rockets always push the ball up the court/. And rely less on D.

Should be a high scoring game. Houston will get to 115 easy, just hope Charlotte can keep up a little.

Bobcats turn the ball over a lot rockets look 2 push the pace n get fast brk pts which leads to an open court game.... IMO this game finishes in the 220s... GL

I would think the better play is to take Houston minus the points. I know it's a lot of points, but Houston has been averaging about 115 points over its last 4 games, And Charlotte is averaging somewhere around 89.

Cuz both teams suck on D

Jayvegas420 · 02-02-13, 09:30 PM

Thanks guys.
I had noticed that this is the highest O/U set for the cats all season.
I know they suck but 208.5 has never been offered on them & I thought that was even a little high for a Rockets game too, especially when playing the bottom teams.

I went with the under anyway & I'm gonna lose.
parlayed it with 49er's ML

Jayvegas420 · 02-02-13, 11:47 PM

This thread died !
I'll admit I got really lucky in the 2nd 1/2
I'll also admit that I didn't play this very heavy, even by my standards (20 units)

Still you have to admit that it was an unlikely over.
Houston score more points than the public & the books thought. Still the game couldn't get over & OT was never an option.

Pauley, I can't ever tell if you are fading me or tailing me. You post such obscure posts, no dialogue, just stats. I think you posted what you posted because you agreed with the over, so I hope you cashed.

Two crappy teams can easily go over but, just citing that both teams play poor defense doesn't explain away why the books open with the highest number of the season.

Golfer was right though, even though they only covered by 2 betting the spread was never really in doubt.
