Don’t lack gravitas to destroy the bookmakers tonight. The services have picks looking better than Patricia Bieber pictures.
Tonight’s TV schedule has many opportunities for bettors. The Worlds Series Game 2 has the Giants leading the Rangers 1-0. Performance Gap Analysis has a strong pick on the NC State vs. Florida State contest.
Matt Rivers says the comp winner for Thursday is on the Suns.
Steve Nash has been criticizing the Phoenix organization for losing Amare Stoudemire and pretty much having this franchise regress mightily. The veteran point guard is right in his assessment as the Suns are no longer anything better than average but I fully believe they will compete tonight in Utah as the Jazz are on a back-to-back after the blowout loss in Denver last night and are a little shorthanded to begin with.
Anytime you can go against a team playing for a second straight night after competing in the altitude of the Mile High City and get some points it is a total no-brainer. Yes the Suns are no longer close to elite but Nash is still awesome and Phoenix has enough to be able to run a little in this spot and take care of business against Jerry Sloan’s tired group. It may be the beginning of the season but this is still a rough rough spot for anybody and with Mehmut Okur out once again and Carlos Boozer in Chicago I can’t help but grab this number with the still capable enough Suns.
I like the addition of Al Jefferson and do believe that the Jazz will once again be around a 50 win club when all is said and done, which should be about 10 games better than tonight’s opponent, but the situation is ripe for Nash and company to hang until the end.
The pick: Phoenix +7 at Utah.
