That is because vegas thinks the public is stupid and is willing to take their money because they think -4.5 is the appropriate line.

Every home team SHOULD logically win a Game 7, and usually they SHOULD be blowouts. Of course, these are the Raptors, we've been in this position before (and lost), and Vegas has been wrong for about half of the games this series anyay.


Home team has being favored by 4 - 5 points every game this series.

Raptors are -4.5 favorites today, in line with other games...


It's not a real confidence booster. In Game 7 vs Indiana, we were -6.5 favorites, which was pretty surprising to many considering we had gotten bitchslapped so badly in Game 6 and had so much trouble with Indiana. The fact that the line here is the same as the other games means it's a pick 'em again.

We're not stuid Sherm. We k now Pat brings other things to the table, but it shouldn't be asking too much for Pat to knock down at least a few of his wide open 3's.

This game 7 nervous feeling just gets worse and worse. :(

Come on Raps, a blowout win would be much appreciated, lol.

He's been brutal this series with the corner three. In game 5 when we could have iced it with an insurmountable 24 point lead had he hit a wide open look, he clanks and they go on a fast break for three themselves to bring it to 18.

You need to hit open looks. Every opponent does it to us but we always miss those big back breakers. Carroll hits them.

If it was pick 'em it would be pick em. Betting $100 on Heat will return a profit of $175. They are significant underdogs.

You can't compare to Pacers because Raptors were 6-7 point favorites every home game. That line was narrower for games in Indiana. This is because Vegas thought Raptors were significantly better team. What the lines indicate in the Heat series is that Vegas doesn't think Raptors are that much better than Heat, and the reason for Raptors being favorites is primarily due to being home.

Either way it's been a fun season. And I pay to be entertained.

That being said, let's blow them out by 20.

games in an hour you already ordered your food? Unless you did it for a set time haha you crazy your going to be stuffed before tipoff


It usually takes 45 mins to get pizza anyways. He timed it perfectly, 15 mins before tip off.

Exactly ...want to eat during the end of pregame. Gotta get some solids in before the beer pounding starts which is inevitable once the games on.
