For god sake, Lakers -8.5?
What nonsense. I had a bunch of work already put into this game hoping to make it a big play. Was expecting a line of around -5 or -6, and instead we get -8.5?!?!?!? Wow. Way to throw me off. Lakers will still probably take it, but by 9? Denver ML has some serious value. Vegas really shocked me with this one, guess it's due because of Denver's play today against Oklahoma.

Yeah, before the line came out I figured a double digit Laker win. Since they usually play well against good teams. Weird line though...very weird.

You can't Blame the sportbook websites for trying their best to find the fork in the road number...they just want you to decide on which team you think is the better team tonight....

(-8.5) for LA Lakers is a Die Hard Fan number...and it might be a smart pick if you remember Nuggets played last night and they didn't even covered the spread.
