Couple things
The older you get the harder it is on your body. I like Detroit's younger and more athletic roster just for the travel alone.
If you asked average Americans to name a UK "footie team" most would only recognize Manchester united. Same applies to big market teams over here for them. This is a 8pm prime time start for England. People over there spend a lot of time online especially in the winter which equates to lots of legal Internet gambling. I think this line is purposely 1.5 points too high to make for a nice payday for the bookmakers. I would not be surprised to see Knicks lose SU either.
Give me Detroit +5.5 all day long.
