    I'm in Vegas for March Madness and I figured I'd bet the Rockets tonight and then I saw they were huge favorites which surprised me.

    What do you guys think will they cover - 12.5?

    no.

    Rockets are playing bad recently. They might actually lose this game if Cavs are not tanking.

    I am taking this bet. Rockets have been shooting poorly yet were still able to beat quality teams. I think we get our shot back tonight and it will be a blowout.

    The first half of the Miami game was more of an aberration than anything else. They'll be dejected as a team after that loss too. 12 is a lot of points to cover, but I think I'm taking the Rockets.

    Rockets are only favorites by 12 on BetUS fyi.

    not against the cavs. don't do it. Irving is the next great NBA PG and the Cavs keep improving every game. Almost beat Miami the other night. 12.5 would be too rich for me. Plus, we have a tendency to blow large leads.

    but if you're like me and just like to bet on your team regardless of the spread because it's fun ...

    I don't feel a blowout tonight. Rockets win though, by 5 to 7 points.

    I have a feeling Lin is going to dominate tonight after Harvard's big win last night

    The Cavs will play without their best three scorers. So, yes.

    No. Under. Cavaliers a sure win. That's the problem. We play down to the competition. Our chances of losing way higher than playing a quality team.

    I like this man's thinking!

    I think I am gonna bet the Rockets. My first thought when I saw the line was bet the Cavs....and my first thought is always wrong. Plus who ****ing cares...I'm not gonna root for the Cavs to keep the game close. :grin:

    Rocket's cover. Irving won't be playing and Harden and Lin have been playing lights out. I suspect the rest of the team is due on having an excellent game.
