Ah yes, we are getting close to the New Year, and time is running out on 2008. There were many lessons to be learned during this year...a recession hit us right where it hurts. A lot of people were made homeless by the economic woes. The CK Mafia was cast away and as refugees have found a new home. Let's get it crackin' and let's end out he old year with a bang..
This is Pacers' Week. Origianlly it was Wizards Week, but i baled out on them when Caron went down with an ankle injury. What did they do? They went out and upset the Rockets last night...Whatever. Anyway the objective is to get a couple of covers out of the Pacers this week, and what a way to start it off with the Atlanta Hawks coming into town, the People's Choice. The consensus numbers will be so far into the Hawks side that the Pacers may end up getting points at home to the RedBirds. What a mistake that will be... The Pacers are a sterling 5-0 straight up and ats in games between these two teams in LarryBirdland. I'll take them to get the job done against the Hawks who are on the back end of a back to back. The line for tis game won't be the same come 10:00am.
Pacers-1 (However, they will be a underdog by gametime)
The Suns are trying to make up some ground to the Lakers in the Pacific division, and the Grizzlies, well...they are in the way. The Suns usually have their way with the Grizzlies in games played in Elvis Land 4-1 straight up and 3-2 ats. The only reason the ats record isn't betteris because the Suns are usully favored by 11 points on average in those road games. No such wide spread to have to cover in this one, as the Grizlies are remarkably better this year,and the line will reflect that much. Yet the Grizzlies are coming home with tired legs, fresh off of 2 consecutive overtime games the first of which was a douhble overtime affair against the Spurs and last night an overtime squeaker against the T-Wolves, which was much more closer than the fianl score. The Grizzlies are already a poor team on back ends of back to backs anyway. I like my chances rocking with the Suns to get the job done in this one with the small number.
Phoenix-5.5 (buying a hook) Playing this one HEAVY
Ah yes, now Portland gets a chance to atone fo the blowout loss to the Celtics earlier this year. The problem is tat the Celtics ARE a better and deeper team than the Blazers, and after taking their wrath at suffering two consecutive losses to start this road trip out on the Kings in a laugher, they will hit the Rose Garden bent on blasting the Blazers. I say that they will but it will be a mcuh closer game than most may think. But the overall depth of the Gang Green should get the job done.
Boston-3.5
Other notables (I am not playing this one as an official play and i may not play it at all, but it ooks good at first glance):
New York/Charlotte over 206.5
College Football
Oregon+3.5 (buying a point)
Those are my three, ladies and gentlemen. Now let's see what you're all smokin' on!
