Default Re: 12/23 Picks

With you on LAC/Bobcats, but big on the other side of Bulls/Grizz.

This is where purely statistical systems fall short IMO. Memphis dictates the pace of their games. They've been Under 9 of their last 10 games (the one Over was double-OT against Detroit), and of those 9, the HIGHEST total was 182 (vs. Phoenix). Most of the opening lines were in the 170's.

Also, if you look at the Bulls schedule, they have played a ton of Over teams...their total #'s are inflated. They are getting too much respect as an Over team here...Suns-Grizz opener was only 186.

Then again, your picks have faired much better than mine, so what do I know? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
