This is an 8* EAST-COAST TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat.

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 a bunch of 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. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based entirely on strong and relevant Over/Under ATS statistics:

Note that Chicago has seen the total go OVER the number in 17 of 28 this year after a non-conference contest, while Miami has seen the total sail above the posted number in 15 of its last 25 after scoring 105 points or more.

The bottom line: Despite injuries, we're expecting a wide open affair and for this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch.
