Heat may be for REAL!!!! The way I figure, Pissed'ons should be -10½
Heat +7 $$$$$$$$$$ 1½ Hot Chicks

Being the accomplished fisherman that you are, could you tell me why the Bulls are favored by 3? I would like to take something on the game but not sure which way to go. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks! Good Luck!

okay, help me out here

Denver/Houston played on 12/26/03, Denver was -4½@ home and did not cover the number. Houston has covered the number in the last 3 with one pushing the posted number. Houston has spanked Denver 5 of the last 6 they have met, with the last time Denver being a 4½ favorite winning by 1. So, the line today opens at Denver-5, looks like the books are begging for Houston money (and getting it)

DENVER-5½ $$$$$$$$$$ 3 Hot Chicks

Den?HOu

Doesn't the line only move up because there is money coming in on that side? Den opened 4.5 and now 5.5. hc

The best I can figure, Bulls should be -2, but then, Maggette is questionable, line could be adjusted for that. I don't spend much time on games that are in a circle.

Yes, money moves the line. You could have 300 people betting a total of $150,000, one guys bets $200,000 and moves the line. Do I dare call it smart money???
I may be accused of being a fader, or guessing at it.
