The Wild Wild West

The Wild Wild West

 

Nick Parsons

 

In my last article I reviewed the NBA’s Eastern Conference; in this article I’m going to look at the ‘head honchos’ in the West and some interesting ‘against the spread’ trends.

 

Orlando, Detroit and Boston are still the top dogs in the East, and there are three standouts in the West as well, but that is where the similarities end between these conferences.

 

The Phoenix Suns (18-8), San Antonito Spurs (18-7) and the Dallas Mavericks (18-9) are once again the cream of the crop in the West; however, there are a bunch of teams log jammed right behind them. Unlike the Eastern Conference, with the top three franchises head and shoulders above the rest of the other squads, the West is much more competitive.

 

Right behind the Western leaders are the Denver Nuggets (15-10), the surprising Portland Trailblazers (14-12), the LA Lakers (15-10), Golden State Warriors (15-11), and the New Orleans Hornets (16-10).

 

To say the West is open wider than John Maddens mouth on Thanksgiving would be an understatement.

 

Let’s take a closer look at the Suns, Spurs and Mavericks.

 

Phoenix is the highest scoring team in the league, averaging 109 ppg, 108.6 at home and 109.3 on the road. However, they rank 27th in the league in average score against, allowing teams a whopping 104.3 per contest. Despite their incredible overall record, and amazing points per game, the Suns are just 11-14-1 ATS overall (4-6 ATS at home and 7-8-1 ATS on the road).

 

San Antonio averages 99.7 ppg, good for 12th overall, but is ranked number three overall on the defensive end, allowing just 93.1 points per contest. Anyone wagering on the Spurs’ to start the season will have shown a meager profit; San Antonio is 14-10-1 ATS overall (a commanding 10-4 ATS at home and a sub par 4-6-1 ATS on the road).

 

 Dallas is another well-balanced team, number nine in the league, averaging 102 ppg, and 14th in the league on defense, teams mustering just 98.5 points per contest. The Mavs are 11-15-1 ATS overall (6-7-1 ATS at home, and 5-8 ATS on the road).

 

So which team is the worst in the West? With the ‘Big Ticket’ dominating in Boston, it’s no surprise that the Minnesota Timberpups are now the worst team in the entire league with a record of 3-21! They are 11-13 ATS overall, 3-9 ATS at home, but an awesome 8-4 ATS on the road (if you recall in my last article when reviewing the Celtics’ 2006 season, they were 13-27-1 ATS at home, but 28-12-1 ATS on the road. This seems to be a trend that Minnesota is following, and one that we should all keep our eyes on!).

New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers Sunday October 12, 2008 8:15 pm
UNDER chargers – This line came down all week long (in terms of the total) as we watched it drop from 47 down to 44. Now, as expected the line has popped back up some on Sunday and the value still lies with the under here. The Chargers scored just ten points at Miami last week ... read more

Miami Dolphins @ Houston Texans Sunday October 12, 2008 1:00 pm
Texans – Houston finally played their first home game of the season last week but it was a disgusting loss to the Colts. The Texans had no business losing that game as it all fell apart in the final four minutes of the game! That’s when Indianapolis scored three straight ... read more

Oakland Raiders @ New Orleans Saints Sunday October 12, 2008 1:00 pm
UNDER new orleans – The Saints Monday night game with Minnesota went over the total but it really had no business doing so and that is creating line value this week. The Saints offense was decent versus the Vikings but not spectacular and, on the other side of the ball, New ... read more

Chicago Bears @ Atlanta Falcons Sunday October 12, 2008 1:00 pm
UNDER falcons – The Bears offense got on track last week thanks to facing a pathetic Lions team that is simply dreadful on both sides of the ball. Things change quickly this week for the Bears as they now must deal with a Falcons team that has covered both their games at home ... read more

Idaho Vandals @ Fresno State Bulldogs Saturday October 11, 2008 10:00 pm
Fresno State – Yes, this is a very large pointspread but it’s absolutely justified! The Bulldogs have covered each of the last three meetings with Idaho. Also, the Vandals have covered just 8 of their last 22 games as a road dog. Overall, Idaho has simply been miserable ... read more

Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays Friday October 10, 2008 8:37 pm
RAYS – This is absolutely a bargain price on the Rays at home to open up the ALCS and it’s a low juice number that should not be passed up on. The Red Sox were just 39-42 on the road this season and they are without Mike Lowell and, of course, Manny Ramirez is now in ... read more
