    Default ECF Game 7: Celtics 2.5 point favorites at Miami

    I am really good at setting lines before the game. Factoring in where Vegas wants people and where they do not.

    This will be one of the largest wagered games of all time.

    I told a friend I would set the Heat as 3-point favorites. Spoelstra, the best player, and home court.

    Celtics are -2.5 point favorites in game 7. This confuses me a little bit. The line feels reversed.

    This either means people will jump all over the Heat and oddsmakers already know they’re going down, or Herro is not going to play, or something. I don’t think anyone in their right mind bets Boston at this point as a road favorite. And when everything lines up on one side like I think it will with everyone on Miami; the Celtics win the game.

    The Vegas side will win this game

    I wonder how many road teams have been the favorite in a Game 7, at least into the conference finals. 2018 Warriors definitely would’ve been, two I’d be curious about would be the ‘05 Pistons & ‘02 Lakers.

    Heat have less margin for error, and Boston are the better team. Makes sense.

    Sharps thus far are hitting Miami. More money on Boston. To me it looks like Miami is advancing

    Cause Boston has proved their mettle in these playoffs.

    I honestly can't call it.

    I've seldom seen a playoffs where so many superstars are SO hit or miss. You don't know who is going to ball out or disappear.

    I hope you're right for a of couple reasons.

    1) You're going to meltdown over Heat making 2 Finals without LeGOAT
    2) I hate the Celtics

    I'm enjoying these playoffs. they've been very good even though it was an L for my team in the first round.

    finals are going to be painful though. warriors are too talented for either team. as much as I hate to admit it.

    I'm rooting for whichever team makes it out of the east though.
