This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the LA Lakers.

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 ATS statistics:

As note that Denver is already 0-2 ATS this year after three or more consecutive SU wins and just 2-4 ATS off an upset win as an underdog,w hile LA is 10-7 ATS this season in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent.

The bottom line: Looks like Denver's big run comes to an end tonight, we think these strong ATS trends carry over. Play on LA.
