Wolf Pack host Bulldogs in Reno

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/25/2007 - Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 18th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack try to bounce back from their first Western Athletic Conference loss of the season as they hit the floor of the Lawlor Events Center in Reno tonight versus the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

Nevada, which opened the 2006-07 campaign with seven straight wins before being halted by in-state rival UNLV, had won 10 games in a row prior to the meeting with a resurgent New Mexico State program on Saturday. The clash in Las Cruces resulted in an 80-73 win for the home team and also locked both NMSU and Nevada in a first-place tie in the WAC standings at 5-1.

Just below the pair is Louisiana Tech with a mark of 4-2 in conference, despite winning just two of 12 non-league outings early on. The Bulldogs managed to post their second set of back-to-back wins this month on Saturday when they slipped by Idaho on the road by a score of 73-72. Three nights earlier, Tech had to go to overtime to stun New Mexico State by a basket, 73-71.

With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, the Pack are now ahead by a count of 8-3 after dropping three of the first four meetings with LaTech. Nevada has now run off seven straight victories in the relationship thanks to a narrow 50-49 decision in Reno a season ago.

Ahead by as many as seven points with under two and a half minutes to play, the Bulldogs had to hold on for the one-point win against Idaho on Saturday at the Cowan Spectrum. Trey McDowell, who was recently named the WAC Player of the Week for the second time this season, finished with a team- high 25 points, followed by Jerome Richardson and Chad McKenzie with 15 and 12 points, respectively, with both clearing eight rebounds as well. McKenzie, who shot just 4-of-14 from the field, ended up fouling out, but not before he posted three assists and three steals. Harry Disy came up a point shy of a double-double as he grabbed 11 boards. McKenzie currently leads the team in scoring overall this season with his 12.8 ppg, but despite coming off the bench in eight of the 17 games in which he has appeared, McDowell is now right on his tail with 12.6 ppg. However, McDowell is far from a complete player because he has just 18 assists and is shooting a mere 50 percent at the free-throw line for a team that is currently converting only 63.9 percent at the stripe. Also working against the Bulldogs is their 40.5 percent accuracy from the field and 30.2 percent shooting out on the perimeter.

Back on the floor for the Wolf Pack in his second game after suffering an ankle injury, Nick Fazekas got a first-hand look at why the Aggies were expected to contend for the league title this season. Fazekas finished the contest with 21 points and seven rebounds but also found himself on the bench with foul trouble during key moments down the stretch. Ramon Sessions tallied a team-high 23 points, followed by Marcelus Kemp with 14 and a team- high eight boards in the setback as well. In previous years, Fazekas would try to impress people with his outside shooting, but this season he has opted to remain in the paint for the most part, resulting in team-highs of 20.4 ppg and 11.6 rpg, the latter placing among the nation's best. Kemp, who carried much of the load in the absence of Fazekas, checks in with 19.1 ppg and is shooting 42.1 percent from three-point range for a team that is knocking down an impressive 41.9 ppg. Combine that with shooting 48.8 percent from the field overall, and holding opponents to just 40 percent, and the Pack are clearly one of the top teams in the nation.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
