The real Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a big pick for the NBA to go with the Jets vs. Patriots spread pick.
Rivers NBA against the spread winner for Monday is on the Miami Heat -5 to Milwaukee.
As I like to often say backing the road chalk is not the key to the mint. But with that said that is exactly what I am going to do right here. Erik Spoelstra’s Heat do not have the record about a month into the season that some thought they would but of late things have been a ton better and I’ll roll with them here in Milwaukee.
Lebron and the fellas passed that hurdle in Cleveland with flying colors and all in all over the past week plus have settled down and looked like the team a lot of people thought they were. King James, Wade and Bosh are the best threesome we have seen in a long time and with a little confidence brewing this team is really scary. I don’t think that all of their ills have necessarily been cured but things are a ton better and the Bucks may be fairly talented but they’re not on the same level as their superior opponent tonight. Milwaukee is 7-12 this season and have dropped seven of 9 both straight up and against the number. I do admit though that Brandon Jennings and his mates are better than that and certainly will be excited and get up for the Heat but I just don’t see it being enough in the end.
It’s a cheap price on what is still the best team in the NBA and therefore I’ll take my chances laying a handful even on the highway.
The pick: Miami -5.
