The under is 6-2 in Jazz last 8 overall. The over is 6-2 in Hawks last 8 overall. The Jazz are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Atlanta Hawks are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and it feels like everybody is waiting for the shoe to drop with the Jazz. However, hose who have been around since the preseason know I’ve been hyping up the Jazz, saying they’re not your typical team that’s supposed to be in rebuilding / tank mode. The Jazz have talent. I don’t think this run is a fluke. Until the tickets stop cashing, give me the Jazz and the points.
