Wizards vs Cavs

[kmad]

Ok so tell me if this seems like a locked bet.
The Spread for Wizards are +10.5 and the over under is 198

They have played each other twice and each time they have, the wizards won once by 3, and lost the second game but only by 4. Doesnt +10.5 sound like a locked bet or is it just me?

And for the over under. the first game they played each other the total score was 157 and the second game was 182. how about another lock for the under?


Give me your thoughts

I don't know but I do like the Washington plus the points and Cleveland sucks on the road. BOL Buddy

Cleveland sucks on the road?

 

[Duke04]

washington has everything going for them right now when you look at stats, trends, and past games... but theyre a terrible, terrible team... im having trouble trusting them with my money...

not to mention, cleveland hasnt blown any of the toilet teams out on the road...

7-9 ATS when playing with a team with a losing record in the second half of the year but 15-1 SU

@ New Jersey 3/22: 8 point win
@ Sacramento 3/12: 3 point win
@ Clippers 3/10: 4 point win

i dont know... if i had to make a play, id take washington very small

 

[sumday]

I think I will buy a few points and take Wizards.

Huh? They're 25-12 on the road, which I think is the third-best road percentage in the league.

As far as the original post, I've never liked putting a great deal of money on a team that sucks as bad as the Wizards. Yes, 10.5 seems like a lot of points. Yes, they seem to play the Cavs tough for whatever reason. But don't forget that Washington is genuinely awful and just looking to finish off this season as quickly as possible. The reason I hate betting bad teams big is because they can get blown out very easily, and with the Cavs on a 13-game winning streak, it's not inconceivable Washington gets absolutely obliterated tonight.

Incidentally, I wonder how well the Cavs will come out to play tonight...did LeBron's DC party last late into the night? I'm probably going to stay away from this game altogether.

leaning on the wizards +10.5

 

[kmad]

any takes on the under/over?

 

[BoiseBrian]

This is a horrible spot for Cleveland
Heading into Orlando for a battle in a "playoff" type game tomorrow...
10 wins in a row SU... only 3-7 ATS during that span... ick

But... Hate putting money on a team w/ nothing to play for...
Also can't stand putting money on teams w/ 3 times as many losses as wins...
Also as a rule I rarely bet against the King...

Basically can't see myself taking either side...

If I had to bet this game would be leaning under
wash 5-5 last 10...
cleve 7 unders, 3 overs last 10

just my .02

good luck with whatever you decide

 

[uscubb28]

im on the under....small play

 

[TuArmedMan]

On the over myself, the line is higher than last meetings even though last meeting went way under.. Just too fishy for me. Over is the play or no play at all.

 

[BoiseBrian]

Couldn't resist digging a lil deeper

Tonights officials in games lined 195-204.5
James Capers 5 overs 15 unders
Bennett Salvatore 8 overs 11 unders
Leon Wood 8 overs 5 unders

total 21 overs 31 unders

Also home dogs are a combined 4-0 ATS in games +10 pts or more


GL with whatever you decide

 

[kmad]

yeah i think im still gana go with +10 but im just tryin to make my mind up on the over under. small bet of course but still tryin to figure out right pick

Well good luck to you. I like it. I can't see Washington losing by more than 10 at home. I expect them to be about as fired up as a team like them can be for this game. I just had to buy 3 points for added peace of mind because Cavs are Cavs and I'm paranoid.

 

[HugeUnderdog]

If I HAD to make a bet I'd play Wiz+10½ at home...Kinda superstitious but it seems everytime I post a play I like on ANY forum it goes to crap...

 

[CarolinaKid]

over is imo the best play in this game.should hit 200 easy...ck

 

[Duke04]

..ive still managed to stay away but you guys are starting to convince me to take the wizards.. im gonna try to stay away though

 

[kmad]

i dont know about the over. I usually never bet over under with cavs because they are so inconsistant with scoring. they go some games scoring over 100 then go games only shooting 80

Lebron was out partying last night in DC. Lebron and the boys love them some chocolate city. Lebron gets 10-15K an appearance when he comes to DC for club appearances Lots of groupies around here.

We will see how focused they are tonight. Lots of distractions here.
