Vegas' Over/Under Blazer Wins: 48.5

Maybe I'm being a big homer, but 48.5 seems really low for a team with this much talent. So, I ask you, if you were in Vegas and had to put money on this, would you go over or under? And if you were an oddsmaker, what would you put the number at instead? Update: sportsbook.com has the number at 51.5

Its a bit low, but not at all unreasonable given that our only healthy C is a 37 year old with plenty of injury history, and we still don’t know the timelines for Oden and Przybilla.

I’d have the over here. I picked us to win 52.

52!

Given the continued Oden uncertainty

I’d say that’s pretty fair. We can’t continue to be a jump shooting team and win 50+ games.

I'd go over

I’d probably put the line at 50.5

54 wins, 50 wins, 48 wins

Looks like a team on the decline. Are we?

Getting that extra tenth of a win is harder than it sounds

I was going to predict 49 wins so I think it's pretty good.

I see a slow start coming for the Blazers. Nothing to do with preseason, and everything to do with Oden (I’m betting late Dec or January now), Joel (yeah he’s coming back, but how good and what conditioning?) and the chemistry between Roy and Miller.

I see us busting this damn Utah losing streak

And winning two against them; the other two losses: Martel torches us for the Wolves.

I think it's low

heck we got 50 with Juwan Howard and Jeff pendergraph

Until he's not, Rudy's a Blazer.

I'd take the over

I’ll predict 54 wins. And that’s holding my homerism in check for sure.

You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.

Obviously.

When the world knows Nico Batum as "The Inevitable", I'll be very happy with where he is as a player.

57

as that was our winning pct with camby as our starter last season stretched out over an 82 game schedule
