Season-to-date record: 39-40-2, 49%
A sweet spot for road favorites: Backing the Kings -2 -120
The Kings are 12-16 on the season, dead last in the contender-filled Pacific Division, after losing five games in a row, all at their own Golden 1 Center.
Sacramento will see a change of scenery Saturday, as the Kings face the Bulls in Chicago.
We hypothesize that a different setting is conducive to Sac breaking their skid and collecting the win and cover, and we are backing Sacramento versus the number at the United Center.
Supporting our perspective, historically, road favorites that capped extended home trips with a loss have proven solid bets, amassing a whopping 21% long-term return on investment (including a 3-1 ATS run so far this year). This system has delivered only two seasons since 2004 with a cover rate below 50%.
Happy betting!!
