    Jazz -5.5?
    Can anyone explain why the Jazz are favored by 3 points less v. the Rockets then they were less than 3 weeks ago?

    I knew that this line looked low and sure enough, on March 4th the Rockets visited the Jazz and the line was Jazz -8.5. It's funny but if the Jazz were favored by more I'd be on the Jazz for sure. These low lines always leave me scratching my head. I usually stay away and end up regretting it. Does anyone else have this problem?

    accuscore has the Jazz winning by an average score of 101.9-93.6 which is right in line with the -8.5 line from the March 4th game.

    The Rockets are really surging but they almost never win in Utah. This pick would be a no-brainer if it wasn't for that low line. lol

        probably has somethin to do with how well the rockets are playing right now- as opposed to somethin wrong with utah. They're on a 4 game winning streak over the last 4 days including wins against the spurs, hornets and pistons.


        10 days i meant not 4 days....just woke up.

            Right. Also, the last game was the second game of a back to back for the Rockets which is usually worth 2 points on the spread I think.

              Houston is playing real well, I am staying away from it. I have been fading Rockets lately and they are killing me.

                Thankfully I didn't let the low spread scare me away and I took the Jazz. Congrats Jazz backers!

                    Thanks. The Jazz have won 12 straight at home and they usually dominate the Rockets at home. Like I said above, this was a no-brainer but the low line was baffling.
