I've said before that I haven't had a chance to see if certain teams have big differences based on the type of opponent they have. We've just been looking at fast/fast and slow/slow. When Detroit played to a 178 total vs Washington Saturday...and a 160 vs. Charlotte (both Overs by good margins...it reminded me that they had shown a tendency to play to the opponent. That could signal an Over vs. Charlotte. The problem is...it's a back-to-back...and we've seen some slowdowns in back-to-back games. Something to think about. Look at the posted total and see what you think.
