    Utah Jazz +8 Tonight! 1/22/15

    I'm just not seeing a big enough disparity between these two teams to justify such a generous line. Utah has had seven losses in the month of January, but only one of those losses can really be considered a "bad" loss. That was to the Indiana Pacers and it was only by four points. Their other losses were home games to Atlanta and Golden State, and road losses to OKC, Houston, San Antonio, and Cleveland (with Lebron James back).

    All in all, these two teams are about equal in the talent department and Utah should play within the number, even given the b2b spot, with a reasonable chance to win outright.

    Oh sh!t.... I did not realize that. That would explain the silly spread then. I'm backing off for now, thanks.

    I just went back and saw that Utah has covered every game Favors has missed, although they did have Alec Burks in those games

    Favors out = more minutes for Gobert, he should eat up the Bucks' small lineup.

    Yeah, these are good points. I may go ahead and play the Jazz anyways as the number still seems inflated... public probably overreacting and the books overcompensating as a result. Often times, a team will play well minus a key player for the first game.

    Jazz off b2b seemed to have been horrific when I looked earlier. I could be wrong. Don't doubt they're trying but Milwaukee rested, at home, fade Utah for me.
