Jazz use balanced attack to beat short-handed NuggetsBasketball Betting Lines02/06/2010 - Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deron Williams recorded 22 points and nine assists to lead a balanced Utah attack in a 116-106 victory over the short-handed Nuggets in a Northwest Division battle at EnergySolutions Arena. Andrei Kirilenko scored 22 points as well, while Carlos Boozer returned from a three-game absence (calf) to donate 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Jazz, who moved to within two games of the division-leading Nuggets after their season-high eighth straight win. Paul Millsap and C.J. Miles each came off the bench to chip in 16 and 12 points, respectively, for the victors. Ty Lawson ended with a game-high 25 points in a spot-start for Denver, which was coming off a 126-113 win over the Lakers on Friday. Chauncey Billups had 39 points in that game but sprained his ankle, forcing him to join fellow All- Star Carmelo Anthony on the bench Saturday. J.R. Smith ended with 19 points for Denver, which received 16 points apiece from Joey Graham and Kenyon Martin, who also grabbed 13 rebounds in a losing cause. A 12-2 run late in the first quarter highlighted by a Boozer dunk helped the Jazz take a 38-28 lead into the second stanza. Utah's advantage was 51-34 four minutes into the frame following Ronnie Price's putback slam, but the Nuggets scored 11 of the next 12 points to remain in striking distance, though they still trailed 66-55 at intermission. Miles' three-pointer yielded an 85-69 lead past the midway point of the third before Chris Andersen had a pair of three-point plays in a little over a minute to spark a 10-1 spurt for the visitors. Utah led 93-86 after three frames, and an Anthony Carter dunk in the opening minute of the fourth made it a one-possession game, 93-90. The Nuggets, though, went the next five-plus minutes without hitting a field goal, and Williams' driving layup with less than nine minutes remaining put the Jazz up 102-92. Smith drained a three-pointer with 2:36 left to get as close as 110-104, but a Boozer putback and two Wesley Matthews free throws put the overmatched Nuggets down by double digits again. Game Notes Denver won the season series, 3-1...Utah has won its last 10 games at home...Anthony sat out for the eighth straight game due to an ankle injury...Andersen scored 15 points for the Nuggets, who turned the ball over 20 times...Both teams made the most of frequent opportunities at the foul line, as the Nuggets made 28-of-34 at the stripe, compared the Utah's 31-of-40 effort.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though. Arizona 20-1 To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your Sportsbook betting needs.
Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit CardsMichael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football. As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL. The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago. Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996). But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side. Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show. Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1 Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2 New York Giants - 9 - 2 Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1). Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship. So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume. And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top. They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy. Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday. But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division. Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS. Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS. Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162. Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense? Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS. In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS. Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division. Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do. The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20. The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
