Phanman's Psyche Picks 1.22.10

2-0 posted last night, also hit the 2H LA/Cle under

Here are my picks:

Sac @ Orl -9.5

Orlando beat them down in Sacramento 2 weeks ago, outscoring them 33-10 in the 4Q and winning by 21.  Yeah, they didn't cover vs Indy, but that was after they had a huge lead and let their 2nd unit blow it.  So in order to makeup for that, the books have lowered their line by an extra basket.  Sacramento is a great road team to follow, so Orlando 9.5 is achievable.  Apparently, 80% of bettors think that too.  Sacramento to keep it close.  If they didn't blow the 4Q, in a game were Tyreke Evans shot 5-16, they could've won.  Welcome back K-Mart and hello Jameer who's starting and playing at around 60%.

Mil @ Tor -6.5

My home team....revenge.  No Il Mago.  Milwaukee's played a lot games recently.  But everyone has "revenge" on their minds.  I think Milwaukee will cover 6.5, not win, but cover.

Dal @ Phi +3

FISHY.  Dallas is better than this.  -3, and didn't budge while the public pounded them....I cashed in on Por a few nights ago winning in Philly....so I'll roll the dice with the home dog.

Mia @ Wsh +3

Heat haven't lost 3 in a row all season and so on.  They're a bad road team.  They really really are.  Washington isn't as bad as many think.  The record they have is more an indication of not having Jamison for the first 2 weeks.  Arenas still trying to get his legs back and Caron getting lost in the offense.  Meanwhile, Miller/Foye/Haywood have been very good.  Now that Butler is getting his FGA's and Miami continues to play Rafer Alston, this is a winnable game for Washington.

At half time, i'll be lucky to finish 2-2.

Sac@Orl 2H under 101

Game line was 207...so it should be 103.5 for the 1H/2H...we played severly under with 80 in the 1H.  Yet they still offer a line that's short of the original game line...begging for over play. 

Mil@Tor -6.5, 103

The total is spot on...206 full game...103 either half. Raptors -6.5....um.....Bucks have outplayed them for every single quarter for every game this season...or so it seems.  The line is saying that they don't even have to win for the bet to cash. 

I hate both....pass.
