Alright, we are going to make this short and sweet – I’m looking at three games and am really going to focus on the O/U (shocking, I know right?)
First up we have Cleveland @ Miami: I’m projecting 199 Vegas has 203. Looking at all of the games, and given both teams have been off for two or three days – I’m totally taking the under on this one.
Next we have Toronto @ Phoenix: I’m projecting 177 Vegas has them down for 187.5. So I’m taking the under on this one as well. Both teams haven’t had a day off – and they don’t seem to do well on their second game of a back to back (I’ll explain this more as the season goes on).
Finally we have Memphis @ Portland: I’m projecting 193 Vegas gives them 187.5. So here, and as much as I hate to do it, I’m taking the over. These teams are a little different than Toronto & Phoenix – they seem to do better in the back to back vs when they have a day off (again, will explain more as the season goes on).
Check back soon, and we’ll tell you why the under is better than the over in basketball; while in football – the over is better than the under.
