<h3>
Reasons To Avoid Detroit<br />
</h3>
<p>
Sometimes it is better to be good than lucky, and Detroit embodies that principle with the narrow wins they have earned in the early stages of the 2018 season. However, we have to look at the teams these harrowing finishes were attained against as the Bulls and Nets are on a short list for weakest teams in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia, needless to say, is certainly a step in terms of oppositional quality, and it's hard to back them here given their performance portfolio.

<h3>
Reasons To Back Philadelphia<br />
</h3>
<p>
Philadelphia was bound to be overvalued in the opening frames of the 2018 season. After all, this is a team that made a splash in 2017 and managed to get into the playoffs as a three seed after being one of the weakest teams in the East for years. Given the fact, Philadelphia has had a few games under its belt now it is safe to see that this team remains one that is primed to produce similar results here in 2018. In the case of squaring off with Detroit, Philadelphia is frankly the better team, and we are likely getting them here at a reduced price.
