    I am hesitant to put a big play on the Spurs after their ATS performances recently. I like the Morrison system though and the stat about after a win against Cleveland. It just seems like the Bulls are doing better with a healthy Luol Deng back in the mix.

    I am leaning towards buying a pt for Spurs to get them at -2 and doing the under of 195.5

    A few trends to consider:
    San Antonio is 13-2 SU in its last 15 games when playing Chicago
    San Antonio is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Chicago
    San Antonio is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Chicago
    San Antonio is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Chicago
    The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Chicago's last 5 games when playing San Antonio
    The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Chicago's last 13 games when playing at home against San Antonio
    Chicago is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games at home
    The total has gone OVER in 12 of Chicago's last 18 games

    Jaymac,

    why is Northestern only -3 when they just rolled Hofstra a few wks ago by 17? I know NE was home, but still, should be more than 3, no?

    fusion, same on my book as well. now i am taking another look at portland as the bobcats will be without carroll and hollins b/c of the diop trade (he will not play tonight). bobcats will be playing with even less of a full deck, any opinions on this?

    Very hard for me to go against Orlando right now... throwing a couple of teasers together..

    3 Team 8pt BK Special Teasers

    501] BOSTON +1½-110 (B+8)
    [509] SAN ANTONIO +4½-110 (B+8)
    [513] ORLANDO +9-110 (B+8)

    [501] BOSTON +1½-110 (B+8)
    [504] CHARLOTTE +10½-110 (B+8)
    [513] ORLANDO +9-110 (B+8)

    Any tie is a loss with these teasers... opinions?

    i think the line is exactly where it should be.

    booked plays-

    Of course I am playing all of the Morrison Plays as I have all year, however, I don't always list them when I play them. In the case of the Spurs, they didn't make the grade due to their poor back end of back to back games this year. I have a little doubt that they will perform well today, they just didn't make the cut in terms of me giving them to the public as a pick of mine. I only list the picks of mine that coincide wth the Morrison play. They have a terrific winning percentage overall though. But I don't like buying a whole lot of points. in the case of thie Spurs game today, it wouldn't make sense to play them buying 3 points. It actually makes more sense to play them with the moneyline, and for that reason, it becomes a much more difficult play indeed. However, the Bulls are due for a letdown after the big win over Cleveland yesterday. Then in the other pay, it is also difficult to go against the Pistons at home being a home dog. New Orleans is good, however, in this game it makes sense to play them on the moneyline as well, although I don't think that they will pick up the win in Detroit today. I actually pegged Detroit to win this game as a slight favorite by 3. that's one hell of a back to back playing Cleveland one day and then the Pistons the next with travel involved. Detroit can match up with the Hornets very well player for player.

    Portland will have problems against the Bobcats, as the Bobbies already had a surplus of players that have the same skill set as Carrol. Hollins had fallen out of the rotation anyway, so personnel wise all of the Bobcats good players are still intact, and the fhat that they will play extended minutes is only a plus for them. They are well rested and will make a good game out of this one. One look at the ine falling with 74% of bettors on the side of Portland gives my point validity. I have them at +2.5. I won't be buying points this week because I am involved in a challenge. hockeytown11 is now out searching for a pick service to help him out, but it won't be to any avail. I cap my own games and I know when to lay the hammer and when to put a measeley $300.00 on a game.

    Can anyone point out why Duncan and Parker seem like sat out for most of the 4th quarter last night. Look like all of the starter are not playing in 4th quarter, am I wrong???
    This is the first game that I do my own thinking and may go very big on this. If I lost, I may have to stop this betting thing and Ebaying some of my toys.
    veteran teams do that sometimes when they have a back to back going.

    Dana4u,

    I am taking the Cardinals and Ravens. I am riding the Ravens much the same way that I rode the Giants most of this year, and they have been cashing a lot of tickets for me on this hot streak. So I am going to go down in flames right along with them. As far as the Cardinals are concerned, I always play home dogs that play on a different surface than the favored team coming in. I think that this game will be decided by a field goal and no more than that.

    Cardinals+4
    Ravens+6


    fusion,

    The Bucks are playing a back end game, and they went over 100 points last night and went way over the total. My gut feeling on that game is to ride with the under as the total looks suspiciously low to me. The Clips lack players that can create their own shot off the dribble, but they are in a seemingly vulerable position, which makes them a dangerous team. A man laying down in the field is more dangerous than 10 soldiers running in your direction....

    classic vegas trap on the public heavy road favorite perhaps - i was looking at the game, and while i know nothing about any of these players, the line should have been around 5-6 imo.

    So I woke up this morning and there is some serious line movement in all 4 games I was looking at last night.

    Spurs, opened at +4 (???) and is now at -3 with 87% of the public on them.
    Hornets, opened as a PK, now is at -2.5 with 53% of the public on them.
    Knicks, opened at +3, now is at +1.5 with 21% of the public on them (RLM)
    Mavericks, opened at -3.5, now is at -5 with 34% of the public on them (RLM)

    You have to like the movement in all 4.

    going out on a limb here, Nets +6.5. i will probably kick myself later as literally we are talking about .25 pts in my main model making the decision. gotta go with the numbers though, not the heart.

    Ya. I was looking at twominutewarning.com/bettracker.htm -- Clearly there's an error there.

    Just double checked on SBR Odds and you're right.
