PHI may be the play here...
 
last four games have been decided by 6, 6, 3, and 1 with PHIL taking 1 of those games.
 
last games line was exactly the same - CLE +6 and O/U 186.5....hhhmmmmmmm
 
PHI may cover here

Liking your thinking AJ . Plus Cleveland may be a little distracted trying to make it 10 str8 by 12 or more and forget they need to WIN the game. Philly IS a pro team arent they?

THat logic doesnt make sense. Think about it, there are three kinds people who bet: the public, the pros and people like us. The public see such a low line, and will probably jump on clev in a sec. The pros will go by their numbers, which more than likely will favor clev. And people like us, who see the line as "vegas trying to get people to take philly by reverse psychology". So who is actually gona take Philly in the end? 

Vegas should be smart enough to know that. Here's gotta be something more to it.

Philly has had 4 days to rest for this game, cleveland on back end of a back to back, if cleveland was not on the back of a back to back the line would be between 8 & 9.  Lakers were giving 9 in philly so your talking about 1 possesion here don't look to far into this, the line is right where it should be for a game in philly, if cleveland wins this game (ATS) the line in cleveland will be around 12.  If cleveland loses this game the game in cleveland will be around 10.  How many points should cleveland be giving 20 just cuz they have been crushing everyone....i think not if that were the case they should of been charlotte 12(line was -8)  in charlotte but again it was in the back end of a back to back.  Look at who cleveland has played on the road (boston, detroit & dallas are the only good teams they have played on the road and with philly you don't know which team will show up) all that said on cleveland -6 here

vegas is banking that cleveland cant keep this amazing streak alive, their sadly mistakencleveland is 17-4 ats so u could make a case that all their games are traps and be up a shit load of money, stop thinking so much and take cleveland

if you do you might as well not watch the game and just check for box scores later because it'll be brutal.

Clev shot 50% last night and they gave Ilgauskas a standing O for the Cavs all time Board record. All I'm saying is it is a perfect spot for a bounce game for the Cavs , add to that they will be looking to blow out the Sixers for that record. The Sixers gunna just throw theyre Unis out there and let them do it? Anyway, BOL to all of us. Lets get the cash

I like 76ers here.  They have the athleticism to match or exceed the Cavs and Brand inside.  Keep in mind this streak the Cavs are on, although impressive, isn't against the league's best.  Not that the 76ers are that good yet but the potential is there.

THE LINE IS FINE, HOME IS IMPORTANT FOR VEGAS, WHAT DO YOU EXPECTED TO BE ASZN -10 CAVS? THEY PREDICT THAT THE GAME IS GOING TO BE CLOSE WITH MORE CHANCES TO THE CAVS TO WIN THE GAME, SO I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT....

so why are the Lakers giving 12.5 if theyre coming off a loss going b2b?? cause theyre at home? PHX is much better than SAC even if Shaq doesnt play

The Suns do not match up with the Lakers at all your talking about, i know the lakers are on the back end of a back to back but this is a team w/o shaq(whether they are better w/o him or not he is a huge body they do not have) that being said Gasol or Bynum will have a huge game tonight.  Kobe after having a bad shooting night coming home on national tv, phoenix lost to the lakers at home by 13 this year already, so why not let them lay double digits to them at home on national tv oh yeah and the lakers coming off a loss to a scrub team...please blowout written all over..that being said no play for me
