Buckeyes host Hawkeyes in Big Ten actionNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 13th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will attempt to complete the regular-season sweep of the Iowa Hawkeyes when the two meet in Columbus today for a Big Ten Conference clash. Iowa is in desperate need of a victory, as it has suffered three consecutive defeats to fall to 8-15 overall and 2-8 in league play. The Hawkeyes were most recently in action on Wednesday when they struggled at the offensive end in a 57-49 loss to Illinois. Iowa has played six true road games so far this season, and the team has lost five of those tilts. Ohio State has been perfect at home this season, as it has won all 14 of the games it has played in Columbus. The Buckeyes are 17-6 overall, including 7-3 in Big Ten action, and they have won their last three outings. On Wednesday, Ohio State defeated Penn State in a 75-62 final. Iowa owns a 75-71 series lead over Ohio State, but the Buckeyes edged the Hawkeyes by a score of 65-57 final on January 27th. The Hawkeyes have been held to fewer than 50 points in back-to-back affairs, and a lack of offensive production has plagued the team all season. Through 23 games, Iowa is scoring a mere 61.2 ppg on 41.4 percent shooting from the floor. Defensively, the club is permitting 64.8 ppg to foes. Matt Gatens is scoring 12.1 ppg on 36.7 percent shooting from the field, so his team-leading output would be better if not for a lack of efficiency. Anthony Tucker is the only double-digit scorer in the fold for the Hawkeyes, as he is netting 11.9 ppg. In the loss to Illinois last time out, Iowa connected on only 29.6 percent of its field goal attempts. Evan Turner is scoring 18.9 ppg on 55.9 percent shooting from the floor this season to pace Ohio State. More than just a scorer, Turner is pulling down 9.5 rpg to go along with 97 assists. William Buford provides 14.2 ppg for the Buckeyes, while both David Lighty and Jon Diebler add 12.9 ppg. The team is generating 74.9 ppg on 50 percent shooting from the floor, while opponents are being limited to 61.0 ppg on 41 percent field goal efficiency. Against Penn State last time out, Ohio State shot 50 percent from the field and earned an 18-12 edge in points from the foul line. Turner posted 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Buckeyes, while Buford added 19 points and five assists.

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.
