Was wondering the forums thoughts on the Astros-Braves game.
Houston is one of the hottest teams in baseball as weird as that sounds they have won 6 straight home games and are 7-3 at home since the ASB (just 5-7 on the road) thus there is some sort of home field edge with the new look Astros. The Astros have absolutely racked since the ASB. Meanwhile, the Braves hit poorly versus lefty's on the road. Atlanta serves the better name value but stats say the advantage lies with the home dogs Houston Astros. Any other opinions? |

Orangemen44 Its been 50-50 on the Yanks Rangers. Half people have said the Yankees will have a hangover other half have said that is BS. Don't let your New York bias affect your betting. Take a deep breath and look at the forums again.
As far as the game goes... Rangers should be a motivated team wanting to prove that are up their with the elites of the AL ideally the Yankees. While, Texas does have a 8 game lead seems to me from what I have read that they have a chip on their shoulder and a we haven't earned anything yet type approach. Let's also remember that this is the first home game since the Rangers future ownership has been resolved. Ole Nolan isn't going to his first game as Rangers owner to lose to the Yankees. However, I will say the fact that the Yankees are undermanned worries me. BOL Rangers- 131 |

I like the Phillies play. Oswalt will pitch lights out tonight as he tries to justify the Phillies trade for him. (Poor first start and ended the Phillies 8 game win streak last time out for old Roy)

Yeah but Halladay is 18-6 vs the Yanks with a 2.84 ERA and A-ROD is not playing. Not to mention Jeter hits a career .242 and Cano a career .208 vs Halladay. Bigger series/ game for the Phills. I think they pull it out. But best of luck.

The reason Orlando is -2.5 is because Vegas has to be consistent in it's point spread home versus away in the playoffs. The change of only 7pts between home in away is a cautious line change due to the Magics performance. Take for instance the LAL vs Utah home away line change its a total of 10pts between home and away spreads. Same with Phoenix vs San Antonio last night that was a line change home versus road of 10 pts as well. Normal line changes between home/ away in the NBA playoffs is between the range of 8-10 pts however if one team is looking dominate books will lower the line change to any where around 6.5-7.5 * barring no injuries during the series. Vegas is not like the average fan they don't get to high or to low on teams and that's how the grind out profit along with the vigor in the NBA playoffs.
As far as the game goes. I look for Atlanta (a great home team 37-8) to bounce back following that frustrating comeback win by Orlando in Game 2. Note Orlando has shot an average of 54.15% in the first two games of the series. That's unreal, no way that continues. Hawks get it done at home. ATL +3 |

I have a question I am relatively new to betting baseball and I know it is a different animal than betting any other sport. But I have a pretty basic question. If a team is say -153 what percentage of the time is the Book saying that this team should cover? Cause obviously -110 vs -110 it techincally is 50% vs 50% but what is the formula to determine the percentage a team should win when the spread is say -153 vs +143. Okay thanks for you time. Very Appreciated

Let's start by saying Rutgers is probably the worst team in the Big East. They have lost 4 Big East games by 23 or more points including a 25 pt loss to GT on 1/23. However, the Scarlet Knights have been playing better of late winning 3 of 5 including notching their first two Big East wins over ND and St.Johns. Rutgers has the size and depth to cover Monroe however not to much success in their last meeting surrendering 21pts to Monroe on just 12 shots. GT meanwhile is coming off a hard fought win vs Providence and prior to that an impressive win vs Nova. Also, GT is playing big rival Syracuse next and definately have an eye on that game after losing 65-81 to the Cuse in their prior meeting. Couple that with Rutgers wanting to prove that they are not as bad as the 25pt beat down they took from GT on 1/23 suggests a Rutgers play to me.
Scarlet Knights +10.5 |

The Jets are coming in on a roll winning 5 of 6 as well as covering in those 5 wins. While, the Bengals have not played very well since the mid-season mark. They have lost 3 of 4 and have covered 1 game in their last 7. With that being said I believe we are getting pretty good value on the Bengals because of their recent struggles and Jets success over a favorable schedule in their last 5 wins they have beaten Carolina, Buffalo, Tampa and undermanned Indy and Cincy clubs.
Bengals -2.5 BOL |

I would not say everyone is on Texas. I would also not say everyone is on Alabama. According to bet tracker 65% of bettors are on the Crimson Tide however. |

Vandals are on a slide in which they have given up 30+ in 5 straight games and have not covered any of those games either. While, BG is hot coming into the bowls winners of 4 straight as well as covering those games vs bottom feeders of the MAC. Here is the hook. BG is just happy to be in a bowl. Midseason their bowl hopes looked bleak. While, The Vandals have stumbled down the stretch and will be highly motivated to turn this thing around in front of 27,000 Vandals fans as well as a national audience for the first time this season and build for next year. Vandals- first half- pickem Vandals +1 |

Nevada without their defensive coordinator(left for Portland St Head coaching job) without a linebacker who was suspened on Nov 29th two days after their Boise State loss and without two contributors their nickel corner and a safety who gets PT. How will they stop SMU? Who does also by the way have a 1,000 yd rusher which people seem to forget. This isn't USC where you can just plug guys in this is NEVADA this is the type of thinking I like.
