Rockets -7?

[CHAZ]

What do you think guys? Rockets are a decent team and have had a tough schedule to open up the season. Statistically there an average team. Detroit on the other hand is bottom of the pack. No quality wins, ranked 30th in rebounds and 26th in points per game. Rockets are 6th in overall points and 10th in rebounds.

-7 though? I was thinking maybe -4 or -5. Is this number pushed up because of the latest two wins by the Rockets against OKC and the Lakers?

I like Detroit plus the points

[dskibin2]

I like the rockets to win in a game that will never really be that close, but like you said, 7 seems about right

Careful, Hou will win the game but 7 points is a lot to lay here. Good luck on your wagers today...................

[encephalization]

Agree with most. 7 is alot. Especially for a 7-13 team. Might go for the under here.

Houston will win but like most above 7 points is a lot to cover

Oh no sir lol I'm not on them. I was debating the play. I'm glad to see everyone agree with me that the line might be a bit much though.

[wood553]

l like houston eso. if battier plays. Villanueva is out for det., so prince will play lot of 4 position. Was looking at over also but already went from 199 to 201.5

isnt yao ming playing tonite?

[thech0senone]

Yao Ming isn't playing tonight. I think Houston wins this game but 7 points is a lot to lay. They can put up a lot of points but they give up a lot also.

[sweethook]

i would think its lower. so line now looks good

[CHAZ]

If Shane doesn't play I like Detroit even more.

Wow that is a lot of pts cover. Det seems like the play, but something might be up.

Usually whenever a line seems out of place is good to go against what the obvious play is. Similar with Indy-7.5 last night against the Raps and everyone here was saying it was great value for Toronto. Maybe it was, but there's a reason why the line is where it is and doesn't move when there is lots of betting to one side.
