    Houston won't be favored unless you have a some injury/not playing info. Doubt the Lakers will be dogs either though they should be.

    Why would Houston not be favored? New Orleans is AWFUL.

    New Orleans will win more games than Houston Anthony Davis and Gordon are better than any player on Houston's roster and Monty WIlliams is a good coach

    You would have to make the Lakers +20 before I would not bet on the Clippers. The two teams don't like each other to begin with, the Clippers want to assert some dominance over The city of Los Angeles, and my understanding is that neither Kobe nor Dwight is supposed to play tonight...

    Coming up with your own numbers, it isn't about how close you get to the vegas line - it is how close you get to the actual outcome.

    Good job, man.

    Can't trust a capper that can't figure out how to make their own spreads.

    The only one that really didn't look right to me was Minnesota. With Love out, I am wondering if there is something extra wrong with Detroit that I don't know about...

    Detroit is just bad. Minnesota has a lot going for them this year. I know Love is out, but they have some good talent on that team.

    OK, I will keep an eye on that game. If MN wins by 7 or 8 points, you will be awesome (until you make an incorrect pick at some future date)...

    I agree. I am thinking I might sprinkle a bit on the moneyline. Blake Griffin won't go off on D Howard down there.

    It looks like there won't be a Dwight Howard down there tonight...

    When I was listening to the Lakers play onFriday night, it also sounded like Nash turned his ankle over pretty badly. He played on without limping but he might be even slower than usual tonight. But the worst problem the Lakers have is that when the Clippers play their bench, the bench players are pretty competent. The only thing the Lakers bench has going for them is that they have now had 6 straight bad outings, and they may be overdue for a breakout game...

    Thats why I love all the "model' guys. I asked a couple of them in the stink tank how many double digit favs they were getting a week, most said none. I then asked a follow up question on how may times their model was 7 or more points away from the posted spread, again almost never...LMAO, yeah great models.
