NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/25/2007 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of talented ACC teams will collide in Durham this evening, as the 10th-ranked Duke Blue Devils welcome the 19th-ranked Clemson Tigers to town.

Clemson enters this contest with an 18-2 record, the first time the program has been as successful in its first 20 games since 1986-87. After winning 17 in a row to open the campaign, the Tigers suffered back-to-back defeats to Maryland and North Carolina. Fortunately, they were able to get back in the win column with an impressive 74-54 decision over Boston College on Saturday.

Since losing two straight games to open league play, Duke has managed three consecutive wins over conference opponents, all by more than 20 points. On Saturday, the Blue Devils were completely dominant in a 79-56 romp over NC State, and they are now 12-1 at home.

Duke has won its last 19 games against Clemson, and the Blue Devils own a commanding 97-27 advantage in the all-time series with the Tigers. Furthermore, Duke is 52-4 at home against Clemson.

On Saturday, Clemson shot 50.8 percent from the floor and finished with only eight turnovers in the victory over Boston College. The Tigers managed 21 more field goal attempts than the Eagles, overshadowing the fact that the club shot a lowly 3-of-9 from the foul line. Leading the way in the win was Cliff Hammonds, as he netted 17 points. James Mays contributed 14 points, and Vernon Hamilton added 13 points. The Tigers are scoring 77.0 ppg while limiting opponents to 63.2 ppg. K.C. Rivers does not start for Clemson, but he leads the team in scoring with 14.3 ppg on the strength of his 42.4 percent shooting from three-point range. Mays is netting 13.5 ppg to go along with a team-high 7.3 rpg, and Hamilton adds 11.8 ppg. The fourth and final double-digit scorer for the Tigers is Hammonds with 11.1 ppg.

With five double-digit scorers, Duke certainly benefited from a balanced offensive attack in the victory over NC State on Saturday. Freshman standout Jon Scheyer led the charge with 10 points, and DeMarcus Nelson tallied 15 points. Josh McRoberts and Greg Paulus tallied 13 points apiece, and David McClure rounded out the group with 10 points. The Blue Devils connected on 52.5 percent of their field goal attempts, and they limited the Wolfpack to 34.1 percent efficiency from the floor while forcing them into 20 turnovers. Nelson is the leading scorer for Duke with 14.5 ppg, and McRoberts checks in with 12.6 ppg. As for Scheyer, he is averaging 12.1 ppg and seems to get better with every outing. The Blue Devils are posting 69.5 ppg while limiting opponents to 55.3 ppg on 38.8 percent shooting from the field.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
