Ducks and Huskies collide in Seattle

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/25/2007 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The seventh-ranked Oregon Ducks are a legitimate threat to reach the Final Four, and they will take on a disappointing group of Washington Huskies tonight in a Pac-10 tilt.

Oregon owns an 18-1 record, and a victory tonight would give the program its best start ever. The Ducks have won five straight decisions since their only loss of the season, a two-point setback to USC. On Saturday, they put forth an outstanding offensive effort in a 92-84 triumph over California.

While Oregon is enjoying perhaps its best season ever, Washington has been one of the nation's most disappointing teams. Sure, the club's 11-7 record is decent, but the Huskies are just 1-6 against Pac-10 opponents. Saturday's loss was particularly embarrassing, as the Huskies dropped a 75-47 decision to rival Washington State to stretch their current losing skid to three games.

Washington holds a commanding 178-100 lead in the all-time series with Oregon, including a 105-31 edge in Seattle.

There is no shortage of options at the offensive end for Oregon, as five players are averaging double figures in scoring. The Ducks are posting 80.3 ppg through 19 outings while limiting foes to 64.8 ppg. Aaron Brooks continues to pace Oregon with 18.4 ppg, and he has dished out 85 assists. Bryce Taylor checks in with 16.0 ppg on 52.6 percent shooting from the floor, and Malik Hairston adds 13.3 ppg. Tajuan Porter is contributing 13.0 ppg, and Maarty Leunen rounds out a talented group with 11.7 ppg and 9.8 rpg. In the hard-fought win over California on Saturday, all five players mentioned tallied at least 12 points, and Brooks led the way once again with 22 points. Oregon connected on 56.6 percent of its field goal attempts, including a 12-of-22 showing from three-point range, and the team also knocked down 20-of-22 free throws. The Ducks finished with 22 assists against a mere nine turnovers.

Overall, Washington is scoring 81.4 ppg, but the team has not been nearly that productive in most of its league contests. Spencer Hawes is the top offensive performer for the Huskies, as he is netting 15.2 ppg on 55.6 percent shooting from the floor. Jon Brockman adds 13.2 ppg and 9.7 rpg, and he is shooting well over 50 percent from the field as well. Quincy Pondexter checks in with 13.1 ppg, and Justin Dentmon rounds out a foursome of double-digit performers with 10.4 ppg. In the 28-point loss to Washington State, the Huskies shot a lowly 28.3 percent from the field and permitted the Cougars to make good on 53.6 percent of their attempts from the floor. Pondexter managed 16 points in the setback, and Brockman contributed 13 points.

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.
