Raptors at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raptors 128, Nets 126

Money line (ML)

The RAPTORS (+155) need to be taken with the excellent money line value coming off their 123-108 and 115-102 wins over the Orlando Magic. Of course, the Nets are vastly superior to the Magic, but the Raptors offense is finally getting some consistency and matches up well against Brooklyn’s all-offense, no-defense style.

Toronto is No. 1 in 3-point attempts, No. 2 in 3-pointers made and eighth in 3-point shooting percentage. The Nets, who are first in field-goal percentage and second in 3-point percentage, allow the 11th- and seventh-best percentages, respectively, to their opponents.

Brooklyn isn’t yet the juggernaut it was expected to become after acquiring G James Harden from the Houston Rockets. Since that pivotal Jan. 14 day, the Nets are 7-3; they’ve allowed 120-plus points in eight of the 10 games. Both teams want this to be a 3-point chuck-off, but that turns it into more of a coin-flip game for betting purposes.

Against the spread (ATS)

The RAPTORS +4.5 (-110) are a much better play with the insurance of 4 points in the event of a loss. SG Fred VanVleet had a franchise-record 54 points on 11-for-14 3-point shooting in the last game against the Wizards. While that’s not going to be the new norm for Toronto, his teammates should rally around him for at least the next few games.

Confidence is rising for the 2018-19 NBA champions and the Nets are sleepwalking their way through the regular season on the defensive end. The Raps are a perfect team to take advantage of that.

Over/Under (O/U)

Sportsbook Lines Las Vegas

Brooklyn has hit the Over in nine of its last 10 games to improve to 17-6 against the number for the season.

Based on the above picks and that hard trend, back the OVER 241.5 (-110) and stop sweating it early in the fourth quarter.

How to read Super Bowl 55 Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs wil meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 7, 2021.

The Chiefs opened as -3.5 betting favorites while the Buccaneers are 3.5 underdogs.

After early wagers came in, most operators are holding Kansas City -3 (-120).

If you were to wager on Kansas City -3, you would have to lay 5/6 odds (Bet $120 to win $100) instead of your normal 10/11 juice (Bet $110 to win $100).

The return on Tampa Bay would be even-money (1/1) and a $100 wager would return $100.

The total or over-under on Super Bowl 55 is hovering between 56 and 57 points.

How to read NFL Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.

Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $90.91 (10% juice)

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NFL Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NFL bets.

Another number that’s posted on the NFL Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.

All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NFL Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.

NFL Open Line

One of the best features on the NFL Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NFL or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.

VI Consensus NFL Line

The VegasInsider.com Consensus NFL Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.

How do I bet on the Super Bowl?

We know that you can bet on the Super Bowl and all of NFL Futures or bet on the NFL Draft at any time of the year, but what’s the process? The future wager or the “Odds to Win” bet on the Super Bowl is correctly selecting a team to win an event that takes place at a later time. A bettor will have his wagered money tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager. In the case of the Super Bowl, you’re not a winner or loser until you see zeros on the clock in the final game.

Most sportsbooks offer different ways to read to Super Bowl Odds. In the fractional NFL Futures Odds format below, you simply take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered.

Ex. Green Bay (8/1) to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are listed as an 8/1 betting choice to win the Super Bowl. If you wager $100 on Green Bay to win the NFC and they capture the championship, then you would win $800 (8 ÷ 1 x 100). Your online betting account would then credit your account $900, which includes your win and stake ($100).

The American Format would see Green Bay listed at +800 and for the Decimal Format, the Packers would be 9.00.
