Home Forums Sports Picks Central Bet The House POD 12/13

Not Friday the 13th but Thursday the 13th ....<p>Can we get 13 posts, with 13 winners ?

NBA
Indiana -5 First Half / Houston<p>Indiana almost always breaks out fast at home, and Houston just doesn't have the defense to stop Indiana from jumping to a huge half-time lead.

LAK o VAN -.5 +1.00<p>Travelling to LA from anaheim is still travel. Back to back is never easy, and with an overtime game played last night, I see a tired vancouver squad going to a poor team that sees an opportunity at a rare victory. % wise, both teams are even, with LAK having a better record at home than vancouver's road record. I don't see why the line is so high, so I'm hitting it.

Actually, mike, Pacers usually start slow for their home games (4-6 after the first half) and have already made some great comebacks.<p>Still, I think the Pacers win by 20+ tonight against a depleted Houston team who are in the midst of playing 12 games without the benefit of playing BB home games. So in reality, its like playing 12 straight road games because they play then travel.<p>PACERS -9.5

stantheman , yup, just looked through their last few home games.
The last home game they did come out fast though,
were up by 12 at the half against Denver. Besides that though, they do seem to start pretty slow.
Guess i'll have to rely on Houston playing as bad as they usually do!
Still looks pretty good to me, but thanks for the heads-up.

stantheman <p>By the way,,, where did you get that line(-9.5}???
That is higher than any of my books, i have it at 8 - 8.5 everywhere.

Houston +350 (wsex)<p>Gladly play a squad nobody thinks can win. <p> [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] <p>

Pacers -9 @MVP

NBA
Knicks +160

NHL<p>Philly -.5 -180<p>Philly winners of 4 of their last 5. Montreals 3rd game in 4 days. They have to be down after last nights game in Atlanta where they blew a 3 goal lead in the 3rd period.

As usual good luck to all!

golden st. under 199.5

Man, talk about some bad luck. Last week I lose 3 games by a total of 6 1/2 points and last night I lose by 1/2 point with the Heat. 4 games by 7 points is hard to take.<p>I'm going to turn this around tonight and going with the Knicks/Pistons over 181' (skybook)and this is why. Every time I go with the stats I lose.<p>The under is 4-1 with the Knicks last five games on the road.
The under is 3-1 with Detroits last 4 games at home.<p>Good luck tonight everybody.

Detroit -4
