Just an idea I thought I would throw out...
Coming up on the halfway point in the NBA season, does anyone think there is a basketball equivalent of the San Diego Chargers? Meaning, a team that most people agree can be good enough to win games and get to the playoffs...maybe further, but still isn't getting enough respect from handicappers?
The Chargers went 13-1-2 (if I remember correctly) against the spread. Some people rode them all year long and probably made a nice profit.
Without having any stats for record against the spread or previous spreads in front of me, would a team like the Suns fit the bill? They put up a ton of points, and can usually cover nearly anything as long as their defense suits up for the game. Or how bout the Spurs at home? Even being favored to win the NBA title, it seems like they're money at home against the spread.
Any other thoughts?
