Just how many underdogs have won in the first round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs?
Those dastardly dogs beat the favorites in 6 of the 8 weekend games.
Monday night the Pacers managed to cover against the Bulls with a 96-90 win. They were +12 underdogs. Only two Round One Playoffs games were scheduled for Monday with the Heat easily winning Against The Spread, a rare favorite to win.
On Tuesday, the dogs kept on barking. Both New York and Atlanta covered despite losing outright.
At press time the Trailblazers-Mavericks game was still in progress.
To date, First Round NBA Playoffs games have gone 9-3 in favor of the underdogs.
This can only mean a bunch of smiling bookmakers. Traditionally, the betting public backs the favorite.
