Angle of the Week(11-9 ATS, 55.0%) Last Week: 0-1 losing with Arizona. This Week: PLAY AGAINST road favs more than 3 points off three straight home games vs non division opponent. This angle is 12-1 ATS, 92.3%, since 1980. PLAY ON ST. LOUIS +7.5 over Miami Rationale: These teams simply have had plenty of home cooking over the last three weeks and have become comfortable playing in front of the home crowd. Now they have to hit the road and cover a decent sized spread against an unfamiliar opponent which is a pretty tough task. |
| The two best seeds over the past nine years have been #10 and #12 seeds. Both are hitting at about 58% for all games played during that span, although it should be noted that they have not performed up to expectations over the past 3 seasons with #10 seeds going 7-10-1 ATS in all games played, while #12 seeds have gone 9-9 ATS during this most recent 3-year period. In contrast, the worst performing seed has been the #14 seeds as they are 16-23-1 ATS (41%) followed by #7 seeds going 29-34-1 ATS (46%) over the course of this study. Note that the lowly #16 seed has been a 50/50 proposition at 18-18 ATS, and given that no #16 has ever beat a #1 seed that means that the sexy #1 seeds are also a losing proposition at 18-18 ATS.

Rationale: Nothing like a couple of road wins in the NBA to get the momentum going and when a high scoring team comes home, they keep the scoring pace going. Next put them up against an oppoenent with a .500 or less winning percentage and the record improves to 73-29-4, 71.6%, OVER since 1999. (READ MORE) Click through to the site. |
