Call me crazy, but I think Philly actually covers on Monday.  Despite Coach Brown being the worst coach in the playoffs and Stevens being probably the best coach.  Why isn't Vegas adjusting the line a little more?  
I would have to think the majority of wagers will be coming in hard on Boston.  Lets see what kind of heart Philadelphia really has.  I also expect a great game from J.J. Redick. 

Philly -6.5  220/200 

Leaning OV 204.5

mmm,it goes against all "common sense" but seems like the old switcheroo could be in order here....so many of us were high on the sixers and they keep letting us down again and again...now when everyones off the bandwagon they probably serve up a blowout,haha.

I went with Boston in the first 3.  I like the "old switcheroo" on Monday.  That's the perfect wording for it.

Really?  Covers consensus has 66% on Boston.  

I guess 34% of Mom's are on Philly.  

My Mom passed away last year, but I'm sure she would be on Boston.  She liked Larry Bird.

You need to check out his +/-  numbers vs. Boston from this season.  He HURTS Philly big time when he's on the floor against the Celtics.  I seriously doubt he's going to figure it out now.  

Embiid is playing more minutes than he's used to and now he's crying about not getting calls in his post-game conferences.  That's not going to win him any more calls.

Betting on the 76ers is basically making a wild guess that the Celtics have a major mental/emotional letdown and are willing to just win this thing at home.  Nothing about the mental make-up of this team (players/coaches) and none of the comments coming from the Celtics side suggest that's going to happen.

Let's look at Game 3:
69% of wagers on Celtics. Line went from Celtics +8.5 to +9.5. Celtics covered ATS and ML.

Clearly, consensus doesn't mean anything nor is it reliable data. The switcheroo method would've failed in game 3.

I'm a 76ers fan and really want them to advance. But they simply are being outplayed. Their inexperience clearly shows and the Celtics have been exposing them all series.

That was the first time the entire 2nd round the spread winner was with the money.

where are you getting your information from? sports insights shows 93% on moneyline money is on boston and 57% of spread money is on boston... both ticket counts are over 50% to boston
No team is as good as it looks when winning nor are they as bad as they look when losing

false. 37% of the money is boston via my site, 65% side, but it is early I tend to wait. Philly is at 65% money. Everyone is on the over.

I just kinda feel like philly the better team. They havent played a complete game yet. And their back is against the wall at home... I was on boston all 3 previous games... but this one finally feels like a punchback from philly

The one thing that raised my eyebrow was.... Every other series, the losing team has won a game.... Raptors, Pelicans, Jazz all won a game already... but if you bet them to win series its at +1000 - +1600

but philly sits at +500 and they havent won a single game yet.... Hmmmm

Based on what?  That little run they went on against all those tanking, non-playoff teams late in the season?  Or against that lousy Miami team that barely eked into the playoffs and were clearly in turmoil with their best player?

I’m taking philly -4.5 first half , don’t see how Boston comes out with intensity and desperation . Both teams with their backs against the wall faltered . Not today

Go Hard or Go Home......this series should be 2-1....Philly......with that being said....Philly lost 2 games due to dumb coaching and player mistakes. Possible end of the season...expect Philly to play with some ballz. They should play Fultz for a lil.....why not.
