If Vegas puts it under 40, I would strongly consider making a run out there myself, and I NEVER bet on sports.
I am going to be more on the optimistic side and say that they Jazz get 53 wins and the 7th seed.
Just did some research and it seems that the over under doesn't come out until sometime in October but i found a site that predicts what vegas will likely set the win #'s at since most rosters are pretty much set right now.
They say Vegas will put the number at 40.5
I'm definitely making the bet if that is their final number
It's going to take 50+ to get into the playoffs. This team is hungry and that is the goal.
53 wins.
I think the most games an 8 seed has ever won is 50, so 50 games should be a nearly guarantee for the playoffs. I don't think a team has ever won 50 games and not made it in. From what I see, 48 wins is the highest amount to ever not make the playoffs.
When a team wins someone has to loseWest keeps getting deeper though-- the Suns hit 48 wins and missed them just a season ago. Wouldn't be surprised if 50 didn't cut it this year.
