Decided to create my own thread to track my picks. NBA is a league I know the best so I think I can make a decent profit over the season. I only make 2 or 3 picks per week so lets see how this strategy works. All opinions are welcome 
My first play is ORLANDO -13,5
I almost never bet spread this high because rarely teams care enough to win by 30+ points. Usually good team gets a 15-20 point lead and then relaxes and wins by 10-15 points. But Orlando is different...... at least right now...
Their last 3 preseason games:
Oct 20 vs Dallas.... Orlando won by 25
Oct 18 @ Atlanta...Orlando won by 29
Oct 16 vs Chicago..Orlando won by 38
All games were decided after 3 quarters and their bench only increased the lead in 4th quarter and didnt gave anything back. And all 3 teams are much better than Washington also. First regular season game in new arena should also give some extra motivation to Magic players.... and going against number 1 draft pick should be another motivational factor for Jameer Nelson to give his very best tonight.
Orlando won their last season home opener by 14 points..... but they were leading by 31 after 3 quarters. Lets hope something like this wont happen tonight. BOL
