Are the oddsmakers taking Portland seriously?

I agree I think the Portland lines are substantially off, yes I had them vs Utah, and I'll have them again tomorrow vs GS (although I had them when they were +4, I am surprised to see the line has actually gone up).

It reminds me of the Bulls a few years ago, when they had all their young players rounding to form, and were significantly undervalued for a relatively extended period of time. If Portland keeps busting these spreads, their lines will change in a hurry of course.

They worked out real well for me last night!

They are now 3-1 ATS when being dogged by 12.5 points or more, and 4-1 ATS in dec.
Portland is also 4-1 ATS after coming off an upset win as a under dog

Golden state is only 1-4 ATS when playing on back to back nights

Portland looks like a good play tonight as the line will continue to rise (at 5.5 right now)

I Agree Portland has good potential and seems to be underrated at the moment.

Portland has been very competitive, especially at home. Love this bet.

Lets cash it!

with Ellis out for GS I am with you guys on Portland +5.5.

I plan on riding the train again. I am really leaning heavy towards Portland again tonight.

**Illusion** · 12-13-07, 12:18 AM

Another su win for Portlland against a relatively hot Golden State team. That caps a perfect 4-0 tonight in the NBA.

**RJBucs** · 12-13-07, 12:27 AM

I scored on Portland tonight with the 2nd half line. Go Blazers.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 12-13-07, 12:30 AM

The Blazers have been nice to me as well, especially the last couple of nights. I really think its public perception that keeps these lines so high. There continues to be heavy action against them. I just hope it continues...

**RJBucs** · 12-13-07, 12:41 AM

Another easy bet was the second half under of the suns game. I took it at 112.5 Under. Looking GREAT right now.

**Irish Lumberjack** · 12-13-07, 07:41 AM

well done everyone, easy wins are nice to have every once and a while

**LT Profits** · 12-13-07, 07:52 AM

Blazers are still just 12-10 ATS for the season, so my feeling is that they will continue to be undervalued for a while longer. That's good news for their backers, as they are 6-1 ATS last 7.

The oddsmakers have finally woken up. I see Portland is a 3 point favorite against the Raptors tonight.

Yeah I agree that there is much less value with Portland here than there has been in their most recent games. I do still think Portland is the right side in this one, and I bet it, but not nearly to the same degree I have been jumping on them over the past couple of weeks.
