*8* SURE SHOT on Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, and this looks like a let down spot for the visitors. The Cavs are coming off back-to-back wins over Memphis and Miami, and they are asked to cover an enormous number here on the road in a game that they likely won't be too geared up for.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Sixers are winless so far during the regular season after losing five of seven in the pre-season. One of their two wins came at home against Cleveland by a score of 115-114. They've covered the spread in each of their last three regular season meetings with the Cavs, and seven of the last nine.

2. Home Cookin' - The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, and they have failed to cover in six of their last seven trips to Philly.

3. X-Factor - The Sixers are coming off a 99-71 home loss to Utah, and they've covered the spread at a rate of 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Selection: This is a play on the Philadelphia 76ers (8*)
