AAA's EAST-COAST TOTAL EXPRESS (ALL AABBOOAARRDD!)
(NBA) Detroit vs. Toronto,
Total: 214.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 8* TOTAL EXPRESS on the UNDER between the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors.

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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

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

As note that Detroit has seen the total go UNDER the number in 14 of 19 against teams with winning records already this year and in seven of nine following a loss by ten points or more (the Pistons enter off back-to-back losses, most recently a 118-107 home loss to Charlotte), while Toronto has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of eight already this year following a divisional contest (the Raptors come in having lost three of their last four, including two straight, most recently a 117-111 setback at Philadelphia.)

The bottom line: It's an important game for both teams. We're expecting an all out war between two sides which come in hungry for a victory. When taking into account the above trends as well, all signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
