Hard to get a feel for the 1st game usually go with the homer but i think Orlando is capable of playing on the road

Orlando is well-rested and Detroit just got through Philly and they have a tendency to be a "flip the switch team". Orlando got swept LY in the 1st Round by the Pistons. This is a better Magic group this year.


I shouldn't have bet this

Personally I think Detroit has too many weapons for Orlando, but Detroit has a tendency to let the other team back in it. They don't put the other team in the submission hold once they get em worn down. They do a Brock Lesnar number and let Frank Mir come back and win...

I disagree that this will be a blow out (I've definitely been wrong before) Detroit will win , but I'm betting they don't make the spread
