Season Prediction

That's a confusing way to say it.

To win $1,000, one usually has to risk $1,100. But it's not always that simple. Take the Jets this pre-season as an example. Their OU for wins was 4.5. And EVERYONE still bet the under. But Vegas knew moving the line to 4 didn't make much sense as it wouldn't change the betting any really so instead of moving the line, they just added the juice. In late August, if someone wanted to bet under 4.5 wins for the Jets, they had to risk $190 to win $100.

But generally speaking the vig is 10%.

Lol. Ok.
 
Okay did anyone predict Bobby Portis would be the first player this season to break his teammates face with punches? Does it count since it technically happened in the preseason?
 
Tough to predict since the Jazz have a lot of new guys and no one knows how they are going to mesh together. Losing Exum hurts our depth. The Western conference is tougher so even if the Jazz don't win 51 games they may be better than last year. Maybe 47 wins would be equivalent to 51 wins.

Jazz had a lot of injuries last year and won 51 games so if they can stay healthy I think they can win that many games or more. I think our depth is better this year along with our athleticism. The real issue is are we going to be able to score down the stretch when a lot of games are won or lost.

I think the Jazz are going to finish 2nd in the Northwest. I think they are better than everyone except OKC. OKC weakness is there bench so perhaps the Jazz can take advantage of their lack of depth. The Jazz struggled with OKC last year and now they have more options on offense.

Denver and Minnesota are overrated. They have to learn how to win before they can make the jump. Jazz have always played well against these two franchises.

Portland gives the Jazz problems due to the guard play and Jazz have not played well in Portland but we own them in SLC. I think they are improved but I still think we can beat them in the conference.

TOp to bottom the Northwest is the best which could hurt the Jazz playoff chances but I am picking the Jazz to finish 6th in the western conference. I hope we get to play Houston.
