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 ATS statistics and some great situational factors:

As note that Cleveland is already 8-4 ATS this year when playing with two days rest, while Detroit is just 4-7 ATS against divisional opponents.

The bottom line: This is a great "situational" play in our opinion. The defending champs have lost four of their last six, including two straight. They also play with revenge here after falling to Detroit 106-90 on Boxing Day. Detroit plays in Indiana on Wednesday and clearly the second game of the back-to-back is going to be tough at this time of year, despite it taking place on its own floor. The trends and the situation favor the visitors, play on CLEVELAND.
