    Raptors team total equals 82!

    Assuming a game total of 177 and a spread of Bulls -13 that should put the team totals at Bulls 95 and Raptors 82.

    Consider that the Bulls have only held teams under 82 points in 4/13 games and Toronto has only been held under 82 points in 2/12 games. Also, Toronto averaged 101 ppg against the Bulls last season and their lowest total in those games was 91.

    Am I the only one who sees real value in the Raptors tt over 82?

    If Bargnani is not playing tonite, I can see this getting ugly, Especially on the road.

    Bulls have only played 4 home games. They allowed 64, 68, 74, and 64 points in those games. I think I just talked myself into playing the Toronto team under.

    Without Bargnani playing it's a totally different situation than I thought. Sorry to all for not checking thoroughly enough.

    See, without Bargnani they pushed the pace yesterday against pacers and the game went over. Derozen actually came out of his slump. But if chicago can shut deroz out, then raps will struggle to score without bargs.

    could be a letdown spot for the bulls. not saying they will lose...but its the craptors. Im sure the bulls had them on mind after their win at Boston.

    Raptors +points would be my play.

    You all are right about the Bulls defense,but we need to look on the big picture,if Chicago break them in the first half the second half probably be garbage time,like last night in Phili @ Was game,and than Raptors can score 80-85,another thing, Chicago still not allowed 80 points in home games, so we all know it has to happen sometime..

    Yea, it is bound to happen sometime, but Toronto seems more focused on defense than offense at this point.

    Thanks, I was originally thinking the other way but I thought the Raptors were at full strength at the time. I don't know why this board is so focused on sides and game totals when team totals are often easier to predict.
