Heat shoot for 10th straight win; face PistonsBasketball Betting Lines04/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat have been beating up on the also-rans of the NBA during their nine-game winning streak and will try to stay on track tonight against the lowly Detroit Pistons at AmericanAirlines Arena. The Heat have beaten the likes of New Jersey, Detroit, Indiana, Minnesota and Philadelphia on their current ride, and are coming off Tuesday's 99-95 triumph over the 76ers in south Florida. Dwyane Wade scored eight of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and Dorell Wright added 19 points off the bench for the playoff-bound Heat, who have won a season-high nine in a row for the first time since February 28 - March 16 of the 2006-07 season. Carlos Arroyo added 15 points in the victory, while Udonis Haslem had 11 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. Miami's longest winning streak was a 14- game burst from December 6, 2004 - January 1, 2005, and hasn't won 10 in a row since the 2006 campaign. "You see that passion, focus, what it means to them," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, "and it's setting a great example for the rest of the team." Miami has won three straight as the host and is 23-16 at home. It is tied with Milwaukee for the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference. Detroit has won back-to-back games since an 11-game losing streak, and is coming off Wednesday's improbable 90-88 victory over the playoff-bound Atlanta Hawks at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Ben Gordon registered 22 points and seven assists off the bench, while Will Bynum added 17 points for the Pistons, who will also visit Charlotte on their short road trip and are 8-30 away from home this season. "We were able to make some good defensive plays, and that's what helped us win the game," Gordon said. Austin Daye provided 13 points and 10 boards in the win. On the injury front for the Pistons, guards Richard Hamilton (ankle) and Rodney Stuckey (ribs), forward Tayshaun Prince (personal) and center Jason Maxiell (back) are all listed as questionable for Friday. Miami has won the first two meetings with Detroit this season and hasn't swept a series in this matchup since the 2000-01 season (4-0). The Heat are unbeaten in the last five encounters with the Pistons. These two teams have split the last 18 meetings at Miami.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009Super 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.
