Vegas lines: Utah at 40.5

I agree. On the other hand, last night our shooting guards played as bad as they will ever play all year, our point guards couldnt shoot worth a crap, and we were basically playing a road game and won by 19.

Last night only made me more confident in my bet. I knew our point guards were going to suck when I made the bet..... Neto just gave me hope that they won't such as much as I thought

Good point.

I feel like most fans/betters under-rate most of the players on our team.
I think Hayward, favors, Burks, Rudy, Booker, hood, and jingles are probably all under rated by fans that are betting on the lines.

I agree that the causal bettor probably underrates them, but the casual better doesn't bet NBA futures heavily. The professionals are who bet the NBA season O/U heavily and believe me the know every single team. If they were going off casual fans they'd of put the Jazz line somewhere in the high 30s.

Ya, you're probably right
 
Has the line moved since you placed your bet, fish?

If it moves up I'd start feeling pretty good about getting in at 40.5.

We will see on the Bucks.

I just have no faith in MCW being able to play with that team, Giannis developing a jumper, or a Monroe/Parker front-court being able to defend. 11-18 in the East post all-star in a conference made up of mostly trash is just embarrassing. They never figured out how to win with MCW and now they are adding in Monroe as well as integrating Parker back into the fold? I expect early season struggles. I'm going to predict 38 wins.

The East should be stronger this year too given the return of Paul George and Carmello Anthony. Winning 44 games is going to be a bit tougher this year than it was last year in the East.

You make a very fair point. I just really trust Kidd and his ability to develop players and get five guys playing as a cohesive unit.
 
Unibet here down under has 1.80 for the Jazz going both over and under 43.5, greedy ********.

Regardless, I am inclined to think the Jazz are going nowhere this season because defense without Exum and with addition of Burks will suffer big time and hardly will crack top 3.

Over on Denver's 26½ wins, they're not the safest bet to stay healthy. If they do, I see a few players that could outplay expectations.

Jazz on pace for 37 wins right now. Thoughts?

The last two games have been without their starting 5. All games have been without their starting 1 (although the line was set after it was known Dante would be out). The last game was without their starting 2. Guess what? Without three of their starting 5, the Jazz will have a hard time winning.

So I think it comes down to health. If any of Gobert, Favors, or Hayward goes out for the season then they will have a hard time playing .500 ball. To a lesser extent the same is true of Burks, Hood, and Burke. But if all of those players stay relatively healthy then the Jazz not only beat the line, they also make the playoffs in my opinion.
