Am I missing something Orlando -5 against Detroit??

Mac4Lyfe · 01-31-10, 06:06 PM

I know Orlando has been horrible on the road of late but Detroit has been lousy on the road and at home...

odtw524 · 01-31-10, 06:09 PM

orlando is back to back and they played lastnight....the game looks like a trap but detroit really is that bad so dont think to hard about it and hammer it...GL man

Mac4Lyfe · 01-31-10, 06:13 PM

I don't care about a back to back and 3 games in 4 days. Detroit sucks balls...

Dexter · 01-31-10, 06:13 PM

orlando hasnt won in detroit in a long time...for whatever reason, they have trouble in motown

warriorfan707 · 01-31-10, 06:16 PM

I'm on Detroit +5

Mac4Lyfe · 01-31-10, 06:20 PM

I think Detroit has beaten them 6 straight at home but this Detroit team is scruggling. Orlando has had injuries most of those games. Either way I'm on Orlando 1st quarter, 1st half and game. We'll see.

whatsgood5 · 01-31-10, 06:23 PM

Orlando is the pick here for sure. They win this one by double digits.

Mac4Lyfe · 01-31-10, 06:27 PM

25-10 with 5 minutes to go in the 1st quarter. Does Detroit remember how to play defense???

pats3peat · 01-31-10, 06:27 PM

Its 3 in 4 days

Mac4Lyfe · 01-31-10, 07:14 PM

1st quarter and 1st half cash money.... Now let's see if Orlando can close out the game. Detroit on a huge run to end the half.

camel · 01-31-10, 07:46 PM

magic are shitting bricks now.... plus nelson is out

lakerboy · 01-31-10, 07:47 PM

You should have looked more closely at line movement on this game.

whatsgood5 · 01-31-10, 07:56 PM

Need a nice 4th quarter from the Magic to get us a cover, I still think it'll happen...

SpreadSniper · 01-31-10, 07:58 PM

DET was/is the play... regardless if ORL covers

THEGREAT30 · 01-31-10, 08:03 PM

Come on Detroit send Woody to All-Star game

Slanina · 01-31-10, 08:30 PM

I took Detroit +5.5

pats3peat · 01-31-10, 08:37 PM

pats3peat · 01-31-10, 08:38 PM

pats3peat · 01-31-10, 08:45 PM

Thats why I had Detroit +5, but they are garbage come crunch time so I got the push.

laziie · 01-31-10, 08:56 PM

i got orl -4.5

camel · 01-31-10, 09:05 PM

i'd take a push.... thanks AJ.

Line movement meant nothing in this game. Detroit can't close out games and their offense is horrid. If you had Orlando -4.5 you would have cashed. I'll take the game push but cashed the 1st quarter and 1st half easily.

I'm not sure how anyone can back a Detroit team that has been playing like shit over an Orlando team that should have made a statement tonight getting owned against this team the past few years. Orlando had a huge lead and let Detroit get back in this game. The ref's kept Detroit in the game too but Orlando was the correct play regardless of line movement. Orlando backer's made money 1st, 2nd and game if they got the best line.

BestPlay2day · 01-31-10, 09:55 PM

Saw on ESPN the Magic were up by one with around 10 seconds left, thought I lost that bet tonight. Must of got fouled at the end to get the cover and win by 5.

because 1. Detroit has showed some fire at home with Ben Wallace being surprisingly effective 2. Orlando had lack of rest
Ben Gordon was probable.
thats really enough. They are becoming decent.

Detroit is 4-14 in the month of January and was 5-15 in the month of December. This loss made 5 straight at home including a 12 point loss to Indiana. I'm not sure how that means they have fire at home

If your relying on Ben Wallace to be effective you have some real issues. Ben Wallace???

Detroit is a very poor team. They don't have enough playmakers and struggle getting points at home or away.

Unreal statement coming from you. Unreal howmany times have i seen you post a winner, i can count it on 1 finger using the splits in my finger

CarolinaDaze · 02-01-10, 12:34 AM

I win game with Orlando -4.5, But why did i ever think the two teams would go over 187.

vic · 02-01-10, 01:00 AM

You fortunate to get a push on Orl. -5 tonight. Everyone would agree with you Orl. is a better team, hand-down.

Jshap1515 · 02-01-10, 01:25 AM

Got screwed over by half a point today. Damn! These are the tough ones to lose, but I still have confidence I guess. Meaning I didnt get blown out by 10+ points
