    A -255 favorite on streak for the cash?

    ESPN put the Grizzlies/Spurs game on streak for the cash. I think every time I've seen ESPN do this it's meant the underdog has a much better chance to win then the public is giving them.

    It's so obvious to me that the Spurs were resting their starters last night just for this game today. What do you think?

    I was all ready to take the Grizzlies 2nd half expecting it to be Grizzlies -3 or something but Grizzlies -6? Isn't that WAY too high?

    This is exactly why I switched over from the Grizzlies to the Spurs.

    Not that unusual for big favorites to be on Streak for the Cash.

    However, it is profitable to take the MLs on the big underdogs that are posted in major American sports (women's basketball and soccer doesn't count, IMO).

    This was the most obvious fact to me and yet no one else even mentioned it. Look what the Spurs are doing to today, right back to their normal rotations.

    People here talk about the "revenge" angle and yet nobody saw this one coming but me?
