Basketball Betting Lines

12/02/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The scuffling Philadelphia 76ers will try and right the ship in the back end of a home-and-home set with the Chicago Bulls in the Windy City on Tuesday.

Rookie star Derrick Rose scored 18 points, dished out a career-high 10 assists and grabbed five rebounds, leading the Bulls to a 103-92 victory over the Sixers on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Drew Gooden added 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls, who have won two of three and finished up a massive 12-day, seven-game road trip with a 3-4 record.

Ben Gordon had a team-high 21 points, while Larry Hughes contributed 16 points off the bench in the win.

In the friendly confines of the United Center, Chicago is 5-2 this season.

Elton Brand, the No. 1 overall pick by the Bulls in 1999, had 21 points and 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who have now lost four in a row.

Thaddeus Young posted 17 points, while Andre Miller had a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. Willie Green contributed 12 points in a reserve role for Philadelphia, which is a miserable 2-6 on the road this season.

The visitor has won five straight games in the series between the two teams.

The Sixers won three of four meetings between the two clubs last season, including both matchups in Chicago.

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.
