New York -3 League: 14-9-1 (Av. win 3.2) away 4- fav, 2 days off 10- ats win as home 5+ fav. [NY] League: 8-21 (Av. loss 5.2) home 4- dog, no rest off 10- ats win as away 5+ dog. [Wash] (1-7 this season!!!) 4-11 (Av. loss 7.5) if opp last at home. 1-6 (Av. loss 7.4) if opp off 10- ats win. (0-2 this season) NY: 5-1 this season when road total 180-185 Wash: 5-16-1 inside div. 3-8 as home dog of 3 or less. The way I see it is that if NY win this game they can afford to drop their next game @ NO and finish a comfortable 7th....thus facing NJ in the first round rather than a red-hot Detroit or Indi.

Adding.... ...Dallas -4 League: 33-23-1 (Av. win 6.2) any away fav, 1 day off 10+ ats win as home 5+ fav. [Dal] (7-1 this season!!) 15-8 (Av. win 4.8 ) if 4- fav. (6-0 since 2003) 10-3 (Av. win 5.7) if opp off any ats loss. 7-1 (Av. win 9.5) if they lost ats as dog. League: 4-10-1 (Av. loss 9.4) home dog, 2 days off 10- ats loss as away 10+ dog. [sea] 2-8 (Av. loss 7.1) home 4- dog, 2 days off any ats loss as away 10+ dog. I really think Dallas need to keep winning, so they get either Sac or LA in the first round. (See gsp's Friday thread.) They have been fantastic since they went 'small-ball', and I think this will help them on the road too. Seattle will be starting Ridnour at PG, so Nash should have a field day. Also Evans is out (funeral), not good news for a team that is bad at rebounding anyway. Also bad news is Sonics allow 102.5 ppg on 2 days rest. Dallas will score lots and I can't see Seatle keeping up.
