Portland probably covers this exact game 55-60% of the time - tonight they lost. Bummer - manage your bankroll, and move on to fight another day. Cheers and Happy New Year.
no you dont understand, here let me help you. example.

college football....Duke was the right side. game tied and Duke is on the goaline with less than a minute left. they are +9 on the spread and lost by 14. worst beat ever. Duke was right side even though they lost.

blowout loss...not the right side. i feel dumber having explained this to you.
