    lakers sixers anyone?

    I have been following NBA lines lately, and I have been noticing certain numbers in certain positions are better than others. This 10 point line is a flimsy one at best. I think it could go either way. The lakers are due for a cover at home on a Double digit spread, however, the sixers have been the darlings at the back door. I am not going to put anything on it, but If I were to wager I would go lakers -10 in this spot. A lot of doubters will remain stubborn and say the lakers never cover over 8 at home, but I think this could be a spot for them to blow the game open and show their dominance over the sixers. I am not risking anything so this is just an opinion. Please Don't slam me if the lakers lose tonight lol

    This isn't a play for me, it can go either way, I am thinking of the Under though. Any thoughts on the team total?

    I went with frostno98's "Fade The Lakers" plan, and took Sixers +10. Its 5-2 so far, so I'm going to try and ride the wave.

    You may want to consider the mentality the Sixers are in as well. New Year's Eve, no real time to celebrate (especially after a loss), then hittin the road again.

    my book still has it at 195. i'll go for the over for sure as the line moved from 195-199.5 in other books.

    BOL everyone

    If it was a college team with a bunch of 18-20 year olds, I could kind of see that, but not as much with a pro team.

    Certainly a valid perspective to consider the mentality of the players. I have tried many strategies to gain an edge in the NBA and the one I have been using recently has been the most successful so far. I don't take into account emotions or even the teams that are playing. I am strictly playing the numbers.
