0-3 last night.  (sigh.  I left my mojo in 2009)  On to the next...


CHA +11
Bobcats 5-2 ATS as road dogs in December, 10-5 ATS overall as road dogs.   CHA is the silent giant-slayer of the league; I'll pick 'em any day over the Lakers or the Magic.  CLEV 5-10 ATS as home faves, 3-7 ATS overall as double-digit faves.  B2b situation favors CHA (4-2 ATS) over CLEV (5-6 ATS).

INDI +8
First, the numbers: INDI 5-10 ATS as a road dog, 6-10 on the road overall.  NYK 3-4 ATS as a home fave, 8-9 ATS overall at home, has never been tagged as a fave of more than 6 pts all season, and is 3-5 ATS overall as a fave.  Ok now forget all of that shit.
The little voice in my ear is saying that after NYK beat all expectations to hand the Atlanta Hawks their 3rd straight loss, it's going to go home and shoot itself in the foot again.  Also, if you believe the 1_Hit_Take_All  theory, you have to play against the home fave who just came off a road win as a dog. Personally, I think Nate just ejaculated all of the juice he was cooping up in those weeks bench-warming, and now it's all dried up.     

Leaning:

TOR +1
Rarely bet TOR, but I like'em now.  SAS is an excellent 5-2 ATS as a road fave, with the 2 ATS losses coming in early November.  TOR is 2-3 ATS as a home dog.  IMHO, spot here is SAS on a 5-game win streak about to be broken, and although SA is slightly better on b2b games (2-3 ATS) vs TOR (1-6 ATS), I suspect that of both teams coming off overnight flights from the Eastern seaboard, TOR, coming off a loss to BOS, will play better. 


++am on a bad 3-day slump, so I'd gladly hear about all your takes/picks.
