Looks like fair odds for the Raps. My personal view is because of the new environment where all the players will be around one another pretty much 24-7 in tight quarters, the strongest personalities will pull away. I think it's intimidating being around the best of the best all the time and hearing the trash talk. It's a psychological game, where I think the loaded teams are going to have that psychological advantage that way, whereas under normal circumstances teams have their own teammates and a bubble to protect them. Being a short "season" would make for some interesting betting where you never know if a flyer becomes hot, now that the attrition factor is gone away.
