Default Re: please explain: mavs -3.5 at sac tonight

The Kings just beat the Jazz.

The Mavs just played the lowly 76ers and only won by 5.

The Kings have been playing better at home as of late.

Mavs are not the Spurs.

Points (1) and (2) are mistakes by the odds makers.

Points (3) and (4) are not.

Whether the mistakes > the non mistakes, I think, is the real question here. I'm tempted to say "yes," should be -4 or -4.5 instead. But not -7.
