Jazz wrap up trek at PortlandBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Utah Jazz hope to gain some ground in the Northwest Division, as they try to wrap up a perfect four-game road trip Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden. Utah is only a half-game behind Denver in the division standings and has won 16 of its last 18 games, including Friday's 100-89 victory at Golden State. Carlos Boozer had 30 points and 16 rebounds, Andrei Kirilenko added 22 points, five boards and five steals and C.J. Miles tallied 16 points off the bench for Utah, which is 3-0 on the trek and has won six straight away from Salt Lake City for the first time since February 12-20, 2002. "We passed the basketball pretty well," Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said. "I think we had 20 assists at halftime. Guys were looking for each other and made the game pretty easy the way we played." The last time Utah won seven in a row on the road was from January 6 - February 23, 2001. The Jazz are 13-12 as the guest this season. In injury news, center Mehmet Okur (personal) is questionable for Sunday and did not play in the win over the Warriors. Portland is five games off the pace in the Northwest standings and will close out a three-game homestand this evening. It had a two-game winning streak stopped and fell to 1-1 on the residency following Friday's 96-76 loss versus the Boston Celtics. Andre Miller had 16 points and LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points and nine boards for the Blazers, who sport a 19-12 record in the Rose City and sit eighth in the West standings. Brandon Roy finished with nine points in more than 34 minutes in his second game back from a hamstring injury. "He's been out for, what, five weeks? It's going to take him some time to get his rhythm," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said of Roy. "It seems as if we were kind of waiting for each other tonight to make something happen as opposed to coming out with that sense of urgency." Jerryd Bayless scored 14 points off the bench in defeat. After hosting the division-rival Jazz, the Trail Blazers will kick off a five-game road trip through New Jersey, Toronto, Chicago, Minnesota and Memphis. Utah, which is third in the West, has won three of the first four meetings with Portland this season and six of the previous nine matchups between the teams. Utah, however, has lost nine of its last 12 trips to the Rose Garden.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingColts give the ‘D’ its dueThe Indianapolis Colts know that winning the Super Bowl last season put a huge target on their backs, and they expect opponents to go all-out to knock them from the top of the mountain. They’ll get their first test from the New Orleans Saints this Thursday night. The defending champs had nothing but good things to say about the New Orleans defense this past week, praising their opponents’ pass rush and run-stopping abilities. "They play very aggressively," head coach Tony Dungy told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "They play a lot of man-to-man coverage, and they come after you. They have good pass rushers, and they're going to try to pressure us, I'm sure." Both center Jeff Saturday and quarterback Peyton Manning gave New Orleans’ front four props, admitting keeping guys like Will Smithand Charles Grant contained would be a tall task for the offensive line. New Orleans ranked second in total defense during the preseason at a sportsbook, allowing just under 233 yards per game. Last season, the defense finished 11th in the league after giving up 307.3 yards and 20.1 points per contest. Not so sound on the ground If Indianapolis' efficient offense has a weakness it has to be its running attack. The Colts one-two-punch of Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai is no longer, leaving the bulk of the carries to Addai, the second-year back out of LSU. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kenton Keith was named Addai’s backup this week after beating out DeDe Dorsey for the second-string position. Indy has only three backs on the roster right now, including fullback Luke Lawton, and coach Dungy is aware of the thinness of his ground game. Sports Betting lines on the game can be found at BettingExpress.com “We’ll continue to look. Luke Lawton’s done a good job for us too. So probably getting a third true tailback is something that we’d like to do,” Dungy told the Indiana Tribune-Star. Last season, Addai rushed for over 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign and scored seven touchdowns on the ground. Brees says bring it on Opening the season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champions is not the way most teams would like to kick off their year – unless you’re the New Orleans Saints or their quarterback Drew Brees. This internet Sportsbooks had the Saints as the favorites. Brees told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he is excited to get the regular season started and the Colts are a great challenge for him and his teammates. The 28-year-old QB, entering his second season with the Saints, is expecting a wild environment in the RCA Dome this Thursday when the franchise celebrates its 2007-2007 championship. Brees said he sees the opening game scheduling as an honor and a testament to how well New Orleans did last season. The Saints missed facing the Colts in the Super Bowl by one game, losing to the Chicago Bearsin the NFC Championship game. "I mean, people think we can hang with these guys," Brees told reporters. "Even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter what they thought because as a team we're very confident. We know what we can do. We're not satisfied where we finished the season last year. And we've been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time." SportsBooks ready for a shootout Oddsmakers are preparing for some fireworks this Thursday when the NFL season kicks off. online Sportsbooks have Thursday’s total set at a whopping 52 points, accounting for two of the league’s most explosive offenses. “This is like must-see TV,” Saints cornerback and former Colt Jason David told the Baton Rouge Advocate. “It’s two exciting offenses with great players. You’ve got a lot of star power on offense. At any given time a big play can happen. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t miss a snap.” New Orleans, who ranked No.1 in total offense last season, can go blow-for-blow with the Colts’ attack. Head coach Sean Payton’s offensive schemes will get even better production out of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and receiver Marques Colston now that they’ve each had a season of playing together under their belts. The Saints and Colts were the top two passing teams in the NFL last year, but while Indianapolis managed to put up almost 27 points per game, New Orleans struggled to capitalize on their efforts. The Saints ranked fifth in points per game. “Yards are great,” running backDeuce McAllister told reporters, “but to be able to score more touchdowns would be important for us.” |
