Not to sure about this one. I would have used it had Portland been a fave.

I have a feeling Lakers win easily tonight, but I'm just following numbers.

I want to follow numbers also, but I just have that feeling tonight. I'm going to stay away from that one, however I do like Portland and would play them usually

I don't get your philosophy picks with BB. They were totally different in football. The last 2 I would not have considered philosophy picks, but you are doing this, just wanted to give you my insight.

My philosophy picks in football are totally based on knowledge of the game that are sometimes helped with #s. These are strictly based on #s. I don't think I'm going to bother anymore though, and just accept basketball as the one sport I can not cap.

I have a pick that i'm looking at tomorrow that I would cal philosophy picks. Last night there was 1. Miami -4 against Boston. Look at the numbers, Boston beat Miami by 15 in Miami earlier this yr as a 5.5 fave. And last night they were a 4 point dog. Hmmm public feel right into that 1. Tomorrow Houston only favored by 1 against Charlotte?? Toronto opening up as a fave against Det tomorrow? Detroit has been on a tear the last few weeks beating Orlando, Boston and some good teams and they are a dog to a team that has 1 of the worst ATS records this yr. That is what I would call a philosophy pick, just like NFL. Why Miami favored over a 6-1 Bills team last yr, that is what I mean by the phlosophy picks in NBA.
