BTB Betting Pick

For the spread pick, Oakland at +29.5 is the recommendation. Houston scores 70 points per game, while Oakland averages 77.5 points. With such scoring, a 29.5-point spread seems large, so Oakland covering is likely.

For the over/under pick, take the under at 136.5. Oakland and Houston’s combined points per game is 147.5, but Houston’s slower pace and defensive stats suggest a lower scoring game. This makes the under a reasonable choice.
