    FELLAS I"M OFF THE PISTONS>>>>>>>>>>>>

    I have one more...Roll with me on the Wizards + 8 1/2 @ Chicago. I know they are a team in turmoil..but their style works well against Chicago.

    Here's why.....

    Let's start with the ML..sharps are hitting it all day and it keeps rising. I have a 1 unit investment in the money line as I think it has a realistic chance of winning. Both teams won last time out, I watched the Bulls do it at Cleveland and watched the Wizards do it on the monitor. When the pub is hitting % (63%) on the ATS line and the ML bets are being laid on the Wizards 82%ML)..that is very unusual. I have a little percentage formula I use when this happens..let's see what happens.

    Second..this is a big game. National audience, both teams in the thick of the East's playoff talk. Chicago is a very trendy pick right now to do some damage and advance to the Finals. With 31-21 and 40-25 SU records..you can't tell me the Bulls are 9 better at the United Center. (TOD..you miss the Arena? I will never EVER see a game at the United, and I hope you know what I mean. It just isn't in the same in the "new" gym.) I was at a few games P.J. (as in the Pre Jordan age) and during 23's tenure, but it's just a different gym. My point being that the home advantage isn't as big as you would believe with a 17-11 ATS ledger and 21-7 home record. The Wiz are respectable on the road with a near 500% SU record and a 13-11 ATS record. I'll take 9 points all day in a game where the dog is getting almost double digits and has a better SU and ATS record. (Did I throw in that the pub is on the Bulls? on national TV..you feelin me dollarbillz?). IN addition, I just don't think the home court advantage at the United Center is impressive. Double check their record at home against above 500% teams...

    The team does not impress me at home against good teams..and yes, I believe Hibachi and company are a good team. Plus, the coach just might be a genius in having a public fued...team has responded well SU having won their last 3 in a row. I don't buy that either team is tired after a nice layoff for the all star game. Throw in the fact that Big Ben doesn't really pose a defensive matchup problem (other than the obvious board monster). The offense doesn't run through the paint for the Wizards and they dont' try to hide it.

    I again had some time on a Friday..so here's my reasoning for laying on the Wiz...

    My math says the Wiz could win outright.

    Home court isn't that huge in this one for the Bulls.

    9 points in two teams with above 500% records on national TV is gold.

    Bulls have a penchant for playing to their competition at home..impressive win against the Mavericks but losses to Utah and Portland are troubling and shouldn't be happening.

    Good luck..I'm advocating the Wizards tonight for 20% of your bet and then the other 80% with the points...just in case we don't win outright.

    ROLL WITH ME ON WIZARDS ML (1 unit for me)

    ROLL WITH ME ON WIZARDS +8 (4 units for me)

    GL players.....

    I'm off Detroit....I evened out my bet to lose the juice..something's fishy with the line all the way down to 1 1/2...
