This is an 8* SUPER BLOWOUT on 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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

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

As note that New Orleans is just 4-8 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog, while Portland is 29-19 ATS this season as the favorite.

The bottom line: Portland has the a big body (Nurcic) to throw at Davis and we think the home side will ride the wave of emotion to a solid victory behind a big game from Damian Lillard. Lay the points with confidence, play on the BLAZERS.
