    Are the oddsmakers taking Portland seriously?

    The Portland spreads are way over inflated. It seems like everytime I look they are doublr digit dogs. Early on they have been my main cash cow in the NBA. How have you done betting the Trailblazers this season? I just hope the oddsmakers keep offering these juicey lines because I am killing them early on.

    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!

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

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

    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...

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

    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.
