There is a reason this game IS +7 which is too much if their best player plays, if he doesn’t play +7 is lined according.  If he was healthy no way this line is +7    these are all good situations for sure.  We will see if the dogs pop tonight.  best wishes all   I see.  The line tells it all.  The spread is already baking into the pricing.     That term baked into the line is something people gotta stop using. Of course it is. The question is will it make up for injuries, situations and ability? Some things are more important than others and the line move either way does not make up for it.
