The Portland Trail Blazers have had zero road covering success dating back to last season, and they lose on the road this year by an average of 10.9 points. The Utah Jazz aren't the covering machines they were last year, but they're still a trustworthy team that wins the games they're supposed to win, and they win at home by an average of 9.5 points. I can't get behind the Trail Blazers given their road troubles. Give me the Jazz and the thick line.
