Tuesday Bet O The Day 12/9

OccamsRazor · Dec 9, 2008

YTD 4-9
SIDES 4-4
TOTALS 0-5

A rested Portland with something to play for (Undef at Home, defend the Home) faces an Orlando team on a backtoback.

Orlando's SOS near the bottom and have not beaten a top 5 power rated team.

Portland winning their home games as the favorite by 20.

Portland league best 3 point shooting team vs the league's worst freethrowers. All adds up to a Portland cover.

PORTLAND-5

ORL has only played one top 5 power rated team in BOS and ORL is ranked #5 currently so only 4 teams are ahead of them and 2 are west coast. 20 games in doesnt give you a whole lot of chance to play those teams.

POR has been spanking people at home lately though.

GL!

2 diff power ratings I was looking at, had Portland rated at #5 and #4. Both had Port rated ahead of Orlando. Orlando is 0-2 with one of the losses being to Portland.

I give Portland's situation more weight, (Defending home court vs a backtobacker) than I do the numbers. SOS numbers tell me Orlando is an early pretender and helped me to pull the trigger.

Appreciate the feedback.

No I was looking elsewhere.

A pretender in terms of Tuesday 12/9. Meaning, the 5 points Portland is giving versus an Orlando team that is 2-1 as a Rd Dog is cheap. Orlando is losing by 5 on average as a RD dog versus Boston, Dallas and Philly. Portland is blowing people out at home by 20. Just another game in the marathon. Portland best offensive rebounding team in the league.
