Lakers -5’ vs Cavaliers
The bottom line is that the Lakers finally come in at a slight line value due to the NBA scheduling two of its biggest starts (Kobe, LeBron) going up against each other. The Lakers are on an incredible 16-1 tear but against the spread (9-8) have just been a .500 investment due to constant “over pricing” which comes with their marquee defending NBA Champion price tag. Actually the line for today’s game has risen from an opening figure of 4 points, but in my mind is still a manageable price. Today the Lakers will attempt to stay UNDFEATED (10-0) against opposition from the Eastern Conference. Certainly Kobe Bryant and company have had enough rest as they have not taken the court since Tuesday. On the other hand Cleveland played at Sacramento on Wednesday and were extended into OVERTIME. It was not all that long ago when Cleveland actually owned the Lakers in this series winning 5 consecutive meetings, but it was Los Angeles that took both clashes last campaign. As mentioned earlier in this analysis the Lakers have actually been a poor investment for bettors due to constant high price tags. But my database research indicates that in the past two years the Lakers are actually a decent 20-9 ATS after failing to cover the spread 4 times in a 6-game span

Titans -3
There is no doubt these are two of the hottest teams in football. San Diego is have a monster year passing the ball which the Titans cant seem to stop the pass. Tennessee is running the ball well behind Chris Johnson who is a good choice for MVP this year while the Chargers are not too good at stopping the run. Both teams have strengths in this game, but if you look at tonight's conditions of 10-20mph winds and temperatures below freezing then the team with the better running game becomes that more important. Both teams should move the ball, but you have to question the Chargers rhythm on offense. Center Nick Hardwick might return today, but if not the backup is out and they are going to have problems with timing. If your timing is off on the road it is hard to win. Lets go with the team that needs the win to stay in the playoffs on their home turf. Look for the Titans to control the clock with the run. Take Tennessee.
