Basketball Betting Lines

01/26/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A battle of division leaders takes place tonight, as the Detroit Pistons welcome the Washington Wizards to The Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Pistons, who are a game ahead of Cleveland in the Central standings, have won three straight and notched a 103-92 win on Wednesday over the Charlotte Bobcats. Chris Webber tallied 19 points and six boards in his fourth game in a Pistons uniform.

Richard Hamilton netted a team-high 22 points, while Rasheed Wallace chipped in 20 points, Tayshaun Prince 14 and Chauncey Billups 13 points. Detroit will now return home where it is 11-8 this season.

Washington, meanwhile, is two games ahead of Orlando in the Southeast Division but had a four-game winning streak stopped after Tuesday's 127-105 setback to the surging Phoenix Suns at the Verizon Center.

Gilbert Arenas had 31 points to lead the Wizards. Caron Butler added 24 points and Antonio Daniels chipped in 20 points for Washington, which fell behind early and never recovered. The Wizards will hit the road to improve on their 7-13 mark as the visitor in 2006-07.

Arenas edged New Jersey's Vince Carter for a starting spot on the Eastern Conference All-Star squad. The game is scheduled for February 18 in Las Vegas.

Friday's showdown between Washington and Detroit is the third of four meetings this season. The Pistons are 2-0 so far in 2006-07 and have won 12 of the previous 15 matchups.

Washington has lost six of eight and 10 of its last 13 trips to The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

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)
