This is a 10* TOTAL EXPRESS on the UNDER between the Detroit Pistons and the Portland Trailblazers.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant O/U ATS statistics:

As note that Detroit has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of 16 this year after allowing 105 points or more and in eight of 14 after scoring 105 points or more, while Portland has seen the total go UNDER in 12 of its last 18 as a home fav of three points or less.

The bottom line: These are two teams which are desperate to string a few wins together. Losing focus can happen in mid-season non-conference games and each of these sides could get caught looking ahead. Play the UNDER.
