Nets begin road swing at New YorkBasketball Betting Lines03/06/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After losing all three games on a recent homestand, the New Jersey Nets kick off a five-game road trip tonight against the local rival New York Knicks at historic Madison Square Garden. New Jersey will also make stops in Memphis, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Houston, and is 3-27 as the visitor this season. Owners of the worst record in the NBA at 6-55, the Nets have surprisingly won their last two road games against tough foes in Boston and Charlotte. They hope that translates into more road success Saturday in the Big Apple. The Nets dropped their third in a row overall with Friday's 97-87 setback versus the Orlando Magic at the IZOD Center, as Dwight Howard posted his league-leading 49th double-double with 11 points and 16 rebounds to lead the victors. Devin Harris led the Nets with 17 points and 10 assists, while Brook Lopez added 18 points and eight rebounds in defeat. "(We're probably looking ahead to next season), but we want to finish strong," Harris said. "We got our mind focused on trying to compete every game and trying to win every game." New Jersey is trying desperately to avoid finishing with the worst record in NBA history, set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers (9-73). New York is just as bad with a 21-40 record and will begin a brief homestand tonight versus the Nets and Hawks. It is 13-20 at MSG this season and has lost three of four games overall, including Friday's 102-96 setback at Toronto. David Lee posted his 40th double-double with 23 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who got 18 points in a reserve role from Wilson Chandler and lost for the 11th time in 13 games. "At the end we gave ourselves a chance to win, but they hit the big shot," said Knicks newcomer Tracy McGrady, who posted 13 points, six rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes. The Knicks lead the 2009-10 season series against New Jersey by a 2-1 count, but the Nets are 10-4 in their last 14 visits to Madison Square Garden. Al Harrington is averaging 22.7 points and 10.3 rebounds, while Lee is posting 21.3 points, 12 rebounds and 4.7 assists against New Jersey this season.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow 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) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
