This is an 8* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant O/U ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Miami has seen the total go OVER the number in nine of its last 14 after allowing 85 points or less in its previous contest, while Atlanta has seen the total go OVER the number in five of six already this year after a non-conference game and in three of four when playing with two days of rest.

The bottom line: Miami has won two straight, most recently a 90-85 victory over the Clippers, while Atlanta comes in having lost eight of its last ten and four straight. The Hawks play with revenge after falling to Miami in October and we expect the home side to push the pace from start to finish. When taking into account the above O/U trends, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
