    Why does the Boston/Philly line seem so low to me? Help please...tyia.

    The last 5 game totals have been (from most recent first) 185, 175, 198, 163, 183.

    We have a 176 (Bovada @ 1150a EST) total for tonight. Only 2 have been under and of those 2, 1 was safely under. Obviously I am over thinking it and the books are looking at a middle point to have everyone split on both sides evenly. However, looking at the playoff recent history with these two, OVER seems to be the more probable choice? ?

    I hate risking looking stupid (lol) but I know you guys have an insight I am not catching onto easily. TYIA.

    I usually bet over on the last matches, especially if both teams are still able to win the round. Worked well so far, at least in the West 90 vs 90 seems plausible, but I'm too scared to touch this, hate BOS/PHI because one day they rock, then suck.

    Went with Over 44 in first quarter, even that was hard lol.

    Philly is offensively challenged. Boston has been hit or miss. I expect both teams to have a little lag tonight so the 1st quarter should go under. Not sure about the game.
