NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/25/2007 - Starkville, MS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Corey Brewer had 20 points to lead top- ranked Florida over Mississippi State 70-67 at Humphrey Coliseum.

Taurean Green added 11 points and Joakim Noah added 10 points and six rebounds for the Gators (18-2, 5-0 SEC), who have won 11 in a row.

Jamont Gordon had 17 points to lead the Bulldogs (11-7, 2-3), who have lost two of three and five of seven. Barry Stewart added 16 points for Mississippi State, which led for nearly three-quarters of the contest until a Florida run gave the Gators the lead.

The Gators went ahead in the second thanks to an 11-0 run. Down 43-39, Lee Humphrey spearheaded the run with five points, hitting a three-pointer with 10:55 left to cap the surge for a 50-43 advantage.

The Bulldogs rallied to tie the game at 62-62 on two Charles Rhodes free throws with 4:24 left, but Green's three-pointer with 3:49 remaining gave the Gators the lead for good. Noah added a tip-in with 2:36 left to increase the lead to five points.

Then, down three points, 68-65, coming out of a timeout with 17 seconds left, Mississippi State tried to setup for a three-point shot, but suffocating defense by the Gators didn't allow it. The bulldogs had to settle for a lay-in by Gordon with four seconds on the clock and Green hit a pair of free throws on the other end to secure the win as MSU couldn't get a final shot off.

Humphrey ended with eight points for the Gators.

Mississippi State led for most of the first half, grabbing its largest advantage, 19-10, after Stewart drained a three-pointer with 10:48 left until the break.

Florida responded to draw within 28-27 following a pair of Noah free throws with 2:16 on the clock, but the Bulldogs managed to go into the second half with a 33-29 edge.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
