Hawks make a stop in Golden State
Basketball Betting Lines
02/21/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks will continue their four-game road trip
out west this evening, when they take on the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE
Arena.
Atlanta fell to 1-1 on the trip after Friday's 88-80 loss at Phoenix, as Josh
Smith and Joe Johnson scored 21 and 19 points, respectively, for the Hawks,
who have lost two of three games since a three-game win streak and fell to
13-13 as the visitor this season.
"On the road you have to play a perfect game and we turned the ball over too
much tonight," said Atlanta head coach Mike Woodson. "We were down six late
with the ball and had plenty of time and we threw the inbounds pass away.
Little things like that will kill you."
Al Horford chipped in 10 points and nine rebounds in defeat. Atlanta is 1 1/2
games behind Orlando for the top sot in the Southeast Division and fourth in
the Eastern Conference standings. It will also visit Utah on the trek.
Golden State will resume its lengthy six-game homestand Sunday and has
alternated wins and losses over the past five games. It is 1-1 on the
residency following a 100-89 loss versus the Jazz on Friday in Oakland.
C.J. Watson ended with 22 points off the bench for the Warriors, who couldn't
maintain the momentum from a 130-98 rout of the Kings on Wednesday in the
opener of the homestand. Corey Maggette finished with 14 points, while Anthony
Morrow chipped in 10 points and six rebounds for Golden State, which shot just
37.2 percent from the floor.
"Coming off a big game like we did, and then coming out here and having a
disappointing loss like this pretty much hurts, especially at home in front of
your fans, so we just have to pick it up and get another win Sunday," Watson
said.
Warriors star guard Monta Ellis returned to the lineup following a four-game
absence due to a sprained left knee, posting six points and six assists. Ellis
leads the team with 25.8 points per contest.
Golden State will also host the 76ers, Nuggets and Pistons, and is 11-16 at
home this season.
Atlanta and Golden State have split the previous 18 meetings between the
teams, while the Warriors have won five of seven as the host.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

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.
