St. John's seeks upset of No. 12 Georgetown

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/12/2012 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 12th-ranked Georgetown Hoyas will try to bounce back from a recent loss as they play host to the St. John's Red Storm today in a Big East Conference clash at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

This is the longest series in Georgetown history, this being the 97th all-time meeting between the two. St. John's holds a 53-43 series advantage, but the Hoyas have won eight of the last 11 meetings, including a 69-49 decision in their first encounter this season on January 15.

St. John's enters today's contest with a 10-14 overall record and a 4-8 mark in Big East play after suffering a 76-54 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Wednesday. The Red Storm have a six-man rotation of all first-year players, so there is certainly room for growth and much-needed improvement. Head coach Steve Lavin has missed a considerable amount of time due to illness, which has put assistant coach Mike Dunlap in charge of the inexperienced roster. The Red Storm have been outscored by an average of 7.1 ppg during league play.

D'Angelo Harrison and Moe Harkless will need to come up big to push the Red Storm past Georgetown today. Harrison leads the team in scoring this season with 16.4 ppg on 38.1 percent shooting from the field and 37.1 percent from beyond the arc. Harkless is close behind, as he carries averages of 15.5 points and a team-high 8.5 rebounds per contest. God'sgift Achiuwa adds 9.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game to the mix. Harrison was the only player who managed to score in double figures in the lopsided loss to Cincinnati, as he finished with 13 points.

Head coach John Thompson III has led the Hoyas to an 18-5 overall record and an 8-4 mark in Big East action so far. Georgetown lost a close overtime battle to the conference-leading Syracuse Orange its last time out, 64-61, which snapped a two-game win streak. The Hoyas were held to 33.3 percent shooting from the floor, but easily won the rebounding battle (48-30) to keep the game close. Georgetown has outscored its Big East rivals by an average of 4.8 ppg, which is the third-highest scoring differential in the conference at the moment.

Jason Clark averages team-highs of 15.0 points and 1.8 steals per game for the Hoyas, and the senior guard has scored in double figures in three straight outings. Hollis Thompson and Henry Sims are both vital to the Hoyas' success as well, as the former is second on the team with a scoring average of 13.6 ppg. Porter came up big off the bench in the overtime loss to the Orange, as he scored a team-high 13 points.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5

Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5

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.
