But when it comes to betting against the spread, you’d actually be better off banking on the Jazz or Thunder than backing the favorites to win the NBA Finals. The Celtics perform well against the spread, but they’re just outside the best of the best when it comes to cover percentage, per TeamRankings.

If you were a 1980s kid like me, you remember the movie Big starring Tom Hanks. He played the role of Josh Baskin, who made a wish on a Zoltar machine at a fair to be “big.” The wish came true of course, and the hilarity ensued!

I love when a nontraditional hockey market gets the chance to show that they’re a true hockey town, and on Saturday night Raleigh, North Carolina got that opportunity.
The game itself was about as “meh” as they come. I don’t know what I expected though. It pitted the Carolina Hurricanes, the best team in the Eastern Conference not called the Boston Bruins, and a Washington Capitals team that might eek into the playoffs.
