how did they know?

how did the oddsmakers know that the jazz would be competitive on the road against the hornets who have a better record than they do? They were 0-15 on the road against teams over .500, most being blowouts. Yet, they still gave the jazz only 3 points and even gave them generous odds...-105 for jazz and -115 for hornets. HOW DID THEY KNOW THE JAZZ WOULD DO WHAT THEY HADNT DONE 15 TIMES IN A ROW HOW HOW HOW!

10 points?

I got burned also Nick. Jazz where a situational play today as they were slumping and were poised for a turnaround win. Plus Coach Sloan got elected into Hall of Fame today, so they had extra motivation.

[nickmanning214]

aw he did? no wonder! thanks houlihans...the only team to bet against when theres a ceremony the same day is the mets.

and to answer your question, if the hornets were favored by single digits i would have put money on it.

because after you get beat by the wolves at home, late in the season, in a tight playoff race....you're gonna come out pissed off and try to kill whoever your next opponent is, regardless of the location.

top that off with deron williams owning the career matchup with cp3, and you have a utah victory.
