I see a lot of things thrown out when we cap a game, myself included, that are probably already taken into effect by Vegas when they draw up the lines on a game. I think this leads to pushing a team to a winning edge on a factor that was already factored in to begin with, like the b2b factor we often throw out. I also think there are some factors that Vegas doesn't include that we could use to better cap a game, like psychological factors. So maybe if we compile a list of each we won't give a team a better edge on a factor that has already been included when we are all trying to cap a winner.

So if anyone is willing/ wants to. just Copy/ Paste the Factored/ Unfactored colums and add in whatever factors you can think of so maybe we might better be able to shoot down or take into effect people's reasonings when they call a particular team to win, as I think I'm probably the most guilty to factoring in already factored edges when capping a winner. Thanks.

Factored: B2b's, revenge games, rest

Unfactored: (Ex. Pau Gasol playing softer against his brother - maybe)
