6* NBA Bailout on Bobcats +13
The Key: There is plenty of history supporting this play on the Bobcats. Right away I like the fact that road underdogs that have failed to cover the number in 12 or more of their last 15 games are 107-61 ATS since 1996. This system instantly tightens up to 40-16 ATS if the team is playing at least its 8th game in 14 days, which is the case. Additionally, underdogs of 10 of more points that are playing their third game in 4 days and have failed to cover the number in at least 8 of their last 10 games are 57-27 ATS since 1996. Underdogs of 10 or more points that have failed to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games and are up against an opponent that checks in off a cover are 159-96 ATS since 1996. This system tightens up to 26-9 ATS the last 3 seasons. These systems leave no doubt that the value lies with the Bobcats. Plus, it is also worth noting that the Blazers are a soft 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games versus teams with a winning percentage below .400. Take the points.
