Why is Atlanta favored Again?

[THEGREAT30]

Seriously, it makes no sense. They have won 1 road game in 11 tries during this 3 year playoff stint and they are favored. They have lost 3 times in a row to this Bucks team and they are favored. Why are they favored? It really makes for a no action game because the Bucks moneyline is not so enticing at +110, like seriously what are the oddsmakers trying to do here?

Good day

They just keep putting up the same home series lines every time. Don't understand it, but that's what they do in the playoffs for some reason.

I even said on my post yesterday that i wondered if the hawks will be -2........funny crap they are doing

[lakerboy]

Atl has opened as faves every game - why change now? They dont look good but you never know they still have the talent to win one game on the road.

[THEGREAT30]

yeah It makes no sense, like seriously, who is betting on the Hawks to win road games, they have no business being favored

I respect your opinion but all the reasons I stated in the OP is why you change now. The only thing they have in there favor is a perceived advantage with talent. This line must be for the casual fans that are not watching

Thanks. I really think that the bucks might buckle under pressure in a game of this magnitude. I agree that Atl should not be favored but just them doing that might mess with folks heads.

I'M NOT QUESTIONING THAT ATLANTA SHOULD BE FAVORITES OR NOT......JUST WHY THE SAME LINES KEEP POPPING UP.....ALMOST NOT TAKING ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES INTO CONSIDERATION. i DON'T KNOW, I CASHED 3 TIMES ON BAD LINES.......MIGHT SHOOT FOR #4 FRIDAY

I think the lines makers have achieved what they set out to do here. What has happened in this series? Atlanta won first 2 home games and then went to Bucks and got handled and the bucks have been improving in this series and Atlanta is getting out coached by a man that understands in-game adjustments and now the Bucks have won in Atl as well. So now they go home again and are dogs again after proving they can beat Atlanta at home and now on the road??


Ask yourself this? If you are oddsmakers and Make Bucks -2 you are not going to question it right? No, you are taking Bucks -2, but keeping the line the same confuses people now because everybody knows that Bucks is the more competent team.

Play the Bucks.. If it is square, well who cares, but I am willing to play them and see if Atlanta can do it. It will take some heart and courage to go on the road and beat a team that has confidence and now you don't after suffering a meltdown late. Atlanta is already a poor road team and now they are going to need the heart of a champion to win on the road.

I never questioned who is the right side, that's obvious that the Bucks are the correct side. I questioned what are they trying to accomplish, I guess you think they are trying to put doubt into some mines, but why should anyone doubt when the only thing in ATL's corner is a perception while all realities or facts are in the Bucks corner?

what is your problem? Are you having a bad day? I wasn't making this post directed towards you buddie..Fly away now. Not everything is about you? Good day..

[Jshap1515]

I think the lines go with skill over scores. That explains this line

[fsugolf]

strange they don't change the numbers much

It really wasn't meant to be a threatening post little guy, good day

When a line is this fishy, it's usually best to stay away.

[THEGREAT30]

Go to this site and you will know that Mil is a lock to win this game 2morrow, listen to the Sekou Smith interview and you will hear what state the Hawks are in

[thebestthereis]

everyone has now jumped on the bucks bandwagon, time to get off and sell that stock, hawks for me. good luck!

[jackny]

Staying away here, like MIL here but really strange line.

[wrongturn]

I believe this is because Atlanta is a bigger market so more bettors are on them. ATL's game is so unpredictable, -2 or +2 does not really make much difference. Bookies just want a balance action and -2 seems get it done.

[MrSink]

atlanta will win, it was disaster that lost last one at home. This time they should win and take also the series :P

I don't play this game. Good luck to you. That is probably why line is -2 because many people think same as you do.

[DavidWoodley]

bucks will be surprise team of the year. they are gelling at the right time.I dont see why hawks in similar line either

[miley]

Like MIL here. If they don't win, they won't win series. And they can win.
