Portland's strugled on the road this season, that's true - against good teams. Better against the bad teams.
I always hate those idiotic stats like '5-17 against the spread against division opponents after a 20 pt win since 1996.' Players on the 1996 team included: Arvydas Sabonis, Clifford Robinson, Gary Trent, Hollywood Roninson, Rod Strickland, etc...what do they have to do with anything? That said, I could see this game being closer than we think it should be.
I like this one even better: "the Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Oklahoma City". Hello!!!! The Portland Trail Blazers have only played in Oklahoma City ONE time. How can they possibly be 0-4 against the spread? BNM
They're either referring to the Sonics and Seattle or they're referring to playing the Hornets when they were splitting the season between NO/OKC. -Pop
Blazers went 3-2 on their lost road trip. We will have no troubles tonight. Look for the Blazers to win by 12.
blah blah blah...all they want is clients IF they happen to get it right btw...the highest i saw the spread was at 5, most at 4.5
I completely agree. I HATE those kinds of things. As if they mean anything. Reminds me of those innane "Amazing Coincidences of American Presidents" thing. Some people may be entertained by those sorts of things, but for fans or bettors that want insight, completely worthless.
