Rockets visit Grizzlies in key Western Conference matchupBasketball Betting Lines02/05/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of teams battling for positioning in the Western Conference standings square off tonight in Memphis, where the Grizzlies play host to the Houston Rockets at FedEx Forum. Both teams have identical 26-22 records, sit 1 1/2 games off the eighth and final postseason spot in the conference and are 4 1/2 games behind Dallas for Southwest supremacy. Houston defeated Memphis, 104-79, on November 11 this season at the Toyota Center and has won 10 of the previous 13 matchups. The Rockets just went 2-4 on a six-game homestand and recorded a 119-97 triumph over Golden State on Tuesday in the finale of the residency. Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry each scored 24 points, while Trevor Ariza had 18 points and Chuck Hayes pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds for the Rockets. Shane Battier and Luis Scola chipped in 12 and 10 points, respectively, in the win. "We were really solid in the third quarter and the start of the fourth," Rockets head coach Rick Adelman said. "I was pleased with the win." Brooks has now scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven games, including a current streak of four in a row. He is averaging 25.8 points per contest in his past four, and the Rockets are 15-8 when Brooks hits the 20- point mark. Houston is 11-13 as the visitor this season. Memphis will try to keep Brooks to a low scoring total this evening and is coming off a 105-89 setback at Cleveland on Tuesday. Rudy Gay netted 15 points and Jamaal Tinsley added 12 in the loss, the Grizzlies' third in four games. It also didn't help that the Grizzlies were outscored 64-34 in the paint. Marc Gasol and O.J. Mayo both netted 10 points for Memphis, which will put its strong 18-6 home record on the line Friday. The Grizzlies have won 12 of their last 13 home games dating back to December 18 versus Indiana. All-Star Zach Randolph registered only eight points and four boards in the recent loss, but is on pace to post his fourth consecutive season with a double-double average (20.8 points, 11.6 rebounds). "They dominated the whole game," Randolph said of the Cavs. "It's just one of those games where you have to come back and get ready to play [the next game]."

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.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy. MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line) Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line) Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.
