2) 49.5 Win Over is Still on the Table

The Raps over/under line was set at 49.5 games, so our editor Chris Okrainetz and I banged the over. I’ve never felt so confident in placing a bet before in my life, until January struck. I then realized how invaluable my kneecaps are to my life and how much I would miss them after the mob finds me when I can’t pay off my debt.

The Raps are currently 47-31 and there are four games left in the season. Three are on the road, but only one game is against a team above .500 (The Cavs).

Three more wins and the Raptors make that over. Considering they’ve been hot since the All-star break, Chris and I should be flushed with cash by mid April.
