NO BLOWN LEADS out of 10. Okay, that's weird. Then again, the night before was weird too, with 3 of 4 with comebacks and all ATS DOGS. TNT always has that drama.
Took a break to recover from some serious casino baccarat losses. Need to re-double my efforts on NBA to get my bankroll back.
ROAD DOGS have been killing it the last 3 days, going 4-0. CHI +11 was the biggest upset of that stretch. CHI has been rolling lately... 9-1 ATS L10.
If I get on one good team and ride it, those losses will disappear fast.
RELIABLE FAVORITES PHI -2.5 WON / NYK -1.5 WON / HOU -2.5 LOST / SAC -3.5 LOST
ROAD FAVORITES NYK -1.5 WON / DEN -3.5 WON / LAL -3.5 LOST / LAC -2 WON
RELIABLE HOME DOG CHI +3.5 WON
RELIABLE AWAY DOG NONE
RELIABLE picks... PHI -2.5 WON / NYK -1.5 WON / HOU -2.5 LOST / SAC -3.5 LOST / CHI +3.5 WON (Well, it was progress.)
Decent line-up for a Thursday. And, no TNT drama.
MOST UN-RELIABLE TEAM NOP IND MIN
NOP has got to be the worst team in the league, on the ROAD, for a consistent game. You have to expect a crazy game. IND is almost as bad on the ROAD. It is so strange to see MIN have so many games with comebacks at HOME. They love to play catch-up and have an 11-1 HOME record to show for it.
MOST RELIABLE TEAM CHI (MEM MIL)
The 2nd most rock solid team in the NBA is in action CHI. These guys know how to play a straight game. Just behind are MEM MIL. This is the stable side of the league.
RELIABLE FAVORITES DET -2.5 / CHI -6 / MEM -2.5 / MIL -8.5 (CHI is hot. DET is not. MEM has Ja. MIL blew the cover last game vs. SAS.)
ROAD FAVORITES NOP -3.5
RELIABLE HOME DOG NONE
RELIABLE AWAY DOG SAS +6
RELIABLE picks... DET -2.5 / CHI -6 / MEM -2.5 / MIL -8.5 (Going to stick with the HOME DOGS and fade the ROAD DOGS until the New Year and re-evaluate.)
