Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired
the draft rights to Cole Aldrich and veteran forward Morris Peterson from the
New Orleans Hornets in exchange for the draft rights to forward Craig Brackens
and guard/forward Quincy Pondexter.
Aldrich was the 11th overall choice in last month's draft after averaging 11.3
points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.5 blocked shots during his junior season at Kansas.
He was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and leaves the Jayhawks
as their single season leader in blocks (125) and second all-time with 253
swats.
The 6-foot-11 center never lost a collegiate game at home, going 55-0 at Allen
Fieldhouse, and was a member of the 2008 Kansas national championship squad.
Peterson has averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10 NBA
seasons with Toronto and New Orleans. He played in 43 games last season, 39
starts, with the Hornets and averaged 7.1 points and 2.7 boards.
The Thunder made Brackins the 21st overall choice in the draft after he posted
averages of 16.5 points, 8.5 boards and 2.2 helpers during his junior campaign
at Iowa State. The 6-foot-10, 230 pounder started all 95 games he played in
during his three years with the Cyclones.
Pondexter, the 26th overall selection, averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 rebounds
for Washington in his senior season and finished his career as the Huskies
all-time leader in games played, 136, and third in school history with 1,786
points.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)

Super 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.
