The Degenerate Gambler Talk Thread ....

Could somebody school me on this? The Boston Celtics are 19–5, and the Raptors, while good, are 12–11. Toronto is at home and favored by one point, which would normally mean a few points for the Celtics normally on a neutral floor. But even the ESPN analytics make this a really close game. I understand that Vegas can try to put a line somewhere in order to generate more bats, it just seems weird that it seems so close despite the record difference. I don’t expect a big line as everything is always real close to zero, it just seems that it should be like 53% Celtics and 47% raptors or something.

Did you check injury report? H vs A record?

When Iowa was 8–3 recordwise having won only three of the last six games, did they have any business to be favored by 31.5 points in the first place? Eastern Illinois had one win by 60 points and one game they won by 52 points. The one game that they lost by 30 was against the 23rd ranked team the first of the year. All other losses were close relatively speaking. This seemed ridiculous, obviously in hindsight, to have a 31.5 point spread.
