Ok, help me understand...

Vegas posts an opening line of -4 or -4.5 for Phoenix in their Friday match-up with the Wizards out in sunny Arizona (where it happens to be 75 during the day compared to highs in the teens in PA with wind chills under zero most of the day -- maybe I need to move to the Phoenix area)...

But the line opens at -4 or -4.5 and goes down to -3 or even -2.5 at some shops and of course I see VegasInsider with 96% of the people betting Phoenix and see 80% of the dummies on Covers/Wagerline picking Phoenix (which is NO surprise to me) because I kind of have the same question:

After seeing the Suns dominate the Indiana Pacers (the best team in the league) the final 3 quarters of their game WED night at Phoenix, ending in a 24-point shellacking, the most points the Pacers allowed all season, why on earth one might ask are the Suns only favored by 3 points over the Washington freaking Wizards??...

Since Vegas is not in the business in handing out free money, I would say the Wizards are definitely the play here and will probably get a bet from me tonight...

Although, actually, in this instance, Vegas IS giving us a free winner as the line is basically telling everyone that the Wizards are going to cover that line (and probably win the game straight up)...

What is that line from the movie Casino that Joe Pesci's character Nicky Santoro said?...Oh yeah:

A million times I wanted to yell in his fuckin' ear, "This is Las Vegas. We're supposed to be out here robbin' you dumb fuckin' bleep"...

I left out the slur...

Ok, I am not robbin' Vegas, but if they want to give me a free winner, I'll take one...

So this game and maybe another 1 or 2 others may be posted later tonight as plays...
