Okay, I admit it, I'm not a professional of sorts: But...

Can someone please give me hints as to why the Portland Trail Blazers are getting +6 tonight in Cleveland? If I was the bookie, my line would -6 to the Blazers.... 

Before I bet big on this game, let me see some debate/analysis?
This appears to be a steal for me.

BTW the bucks have won me a lot of money this season. The public loves to wager on the Cavs - plain and simple. Play portland tonight with conf.. Portland has the size down low and numbers to back them.

Because the line is made to get equal action. Cleveland has been on a tear last 5 games since King James return. I love Portland on a B2B with a few days rest.

 

I hit Portland for my Survivor Streak pick.

The lines set by the super computer algo  rytheme 


    You would be broke everyone and there mother would hammer you.  Clevland super hot rite now they covered like 5 in a row.   There's major action on clevland at -6. The lines set to get split action both ways.

If you were the bookie and the line was -110 +6 Cavs.  I would put 25k on the Cavs MoneyLine. 

Lebron James, Kyrie, Love, Mozgov, JR Smith, Marion, Thompson ------7 good reasons for you not to wager a huge amount. 

Its in Cleveland - Portland hasn't played since Saturday, yet flew across the country to NYC and then flew to Cleveland.  

Cleveland total travel in the last 10 days has consisted of 2 55 min plane rides to Detroit and back home.

 So all wagers are made upon a teams recent success and travel? Man I wish I knew this information before I started moving up the chains on completely different measures.  Portland all night plus the points. Watch what size does to a team that can't shoot from the outside.

Lebron, love, kyrie and JR can't shoot?  Interesting perspective, however, incorrect.

Cavs struggled last night against a Pistons team minus there PG. On a b2b you think they are going to beat the Northwest leading Blazers by a margin of less than 2? I was on Cavs last 4 or 5 games and will fade away tonight.

Correct - Overvalued players who were on teams (only players). There's a reason Wade and James worked. They were both stars..

Covers measures players on the site. RSI is a ranking (Someones in the top 50)   

 All these other clowns are followers who lose daily

The Portland line up minus Aldrige looks really weak...l
I'm looking for the Cleveland energy to continue...doubtful that Portland line up will stop the Cavs' win streak
