I'm playing the Pistons tonight

[Indiana]

Given the chit lines for Monday N. football I have resorted to the following bets:

Pistons -7
Pistons/Jazz Over 176.5

Thoughts?

bah, I don't like either of those bets and I am a huge Pistons fan. I guess I don't like being a favorite on the road on the end of a back to back.

these 2 teams had a game last year that was like 68-66 final or something, I dont like the over or the game heh, crazy things happen in cross conference games

What does that mean? The team you like is giving more points than you think they should?

Detroit likes to lose in Utah.

Im on the over also Mostly cause evryone and their mother is on the under but also bc the Jazz have been averaging >90 points a game over their last6.

IMO this game screamed over based on Utah's recent performance and the two teams' average points scored and allowed.

Generally NBA totals will be close to an average of the two teams' average totals for the season. For this game:

Average total in Detroit games: 192
Average total in Utah games: 180

So in that sense 176 looks very attractive. Detroit under Flip Saunders is much more explosive offensively than they were under Larry Brown.

Of course I'm also on the Jazz +7 and Jazz ML +260, so what do I know. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Barely missed on the over...would've hit if not for an ugly ugly finish.

5-1 for me tonight, with a close miss...feel free to check out my NBA picks thread. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Wow I was rather confident in these picks and neither came down. Oh well, back to boxing.
