First off I would like to extend an apology to the editor aka Mr. Nutz, for absolutely shitting on his picks during an "office meeting" only for him to go 4-1 and force Bobby Catz to choke down a nice tasty meal of crow! Today with a little input from the great leader, we landed on three pretty solid locks to help you overcome that stunning Super Bowl loss last night (if you are a Seahawks fan that is, if you're a Pats fan go fuck yourself and get picks somewhere else).
MIL (+6.5) vs. TOR
Definitely the easiest pick on the board. Milwaukee is a solid team with solid depth and a surprisingly good coach in J-Kidd making the adjustments. Sure I've had a few sips of the Canadian Kool-Aid, but I still don't fear the North quite like I did two months ago, and I'm not sure if I will get back to that point this season. Toronto probably wins this game, but I'm getting just enough points to feel good about this pick.
NOP (+4) vs. ATL
CATZ AND NUTZ SUPER FISH LINE OF THE WEEK!!! This is one of those lines that Vegas hopes you throw five bucks without thinking to yourself, wait a second, why are the Hawks who are in the midst of the fourth longest win streak IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA only favored by 4 points on the road against the underwhelming Pelicans??? Well you didn't catch me this time Vegas, maybe next time you sly dawg. Also Nutz brought up a good point earlier, the Hawks have to lose eventually right? They aren't the best team ever, so why not grab the points from here out until the streak is broken? Seems like a pretty smart idea.
PHX vs. MEM (-3)
Initially I wanted to take the Suns at home here getting three points, until I remembered that the Grizzlies absolutely destroy the Suns. Then I started to think about why that could be and I found myself dwelling on the thought of Alex Len and Markieff Morris guarding Marc Gasol and Z-Bo!!! Couldn't get past that image of Z-Bo standing over Len crumpled in a heap on the floor crying. Game over, Grizz win again against the Suns.
