This is good stuff Frank. Ironic that the only favorite that should be played is the Lakers.

frankb03,
The seed trends that's good stuff but I was wondering now that the 1st round is 7 games are they valid.

The home teams swept game #1. Most trends reversed themselves. paulsam1 had a valid point. First round series is now 7 games. IMO that was a major contributor to the trend reversal.


Home team game #2
SU: 15-6
ATS: 9-12-0
OU: 12-9-0
