    We hit Knicks Mline in game 1; In game 2 we hit Knicks First Half Mline and Knicks for the game on the spread, thus 3-0.   Let's see if we can keep it going - let's look at some numbers:   

     

         SA      3

    -2  NY      20     

     

    NY opened up as a 2 pt fav.  currently the same or 2.5 -115 at a some places (madduxsports.com)  .

    Based on a variety or sources and my own methodology - I give SA  a 3 and NY 20 - lower the number the better the team on paper.   The beauty of sportsbetting - history often repeats and there's patterns in the data - thus if you are willing to collect it and save it (put it in a spreadsheet) - hopefully you can uncover some patterns.   

    When I go to my spreadsheet - we have had 3 situations- where the away team has had a single digit rating and the home team had a rating in the 20's along with a line of -2 for the home team.  In all 3 situations the away team won it straight up.    My data is telling me to take SA straight up, however, I'll take the Spurs with a margin of error.   My plays for tonight:

    1. SA  +2.5   -115   

    2. I have found sometimes when you have the team with a higher total favored according my numbers - a small small play on a tie at the end of regulation sometimes hits.  Thus a small small play   +950   tied at the end of regulation.    

     

    Good luck all
