Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors Prediction
The price tag next to the Utah Jazz on the Money Line is an attractive one and the public’s propensity to step in on the Jazz at this price reveals the perceived value of this basketball team. However, sportsbooks don’t offer ridiculous propositions such as this, if it was bound to hit be that would it absolutely crush profits. The price on Utah in the Money Line is too good to be true and given the fact the Warriors lost just five times at the ‘O’, this year, the spread is a more viable selection. Given the same public’s behavior to lay the points to the Jazz, this once again seems to be a scenario where takers are biting an inflated number. The Jazz should have enough elbow room given their physical prowess to come in under this figure.
