Portland at Minnesota

The books still don't believe in Portland, but bad teams don't ever win 13 in a row, period! Bad teams are more apt to have played 30 games and fall into five, five-game losing streaks already. They haven't shown the ability to cover the short point-spreads all season, as they are 1-6 ATS to a line of five or less. The only games they can cover are the monster lines that this team should be getting every night. They are getting out scored by nearly double-digits for the season. They aren't shooting, nor defending well. This team is 11-7 ATS when they get a lot of points (8.5 or more), and just 2-10 ATS when getting less! Just not enough points against a team that has it going right now.
