Blue Devils hope to avoid upset in ACC tourney clash with CavsNCAA Basketball Betting Lines03/12/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-seeded and fourth-ranked Duke Blue Devils begin their quest for another ACC Tournament title today, as they take on the ninth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers in the quarterfinal round at Greensboro Coliseum. The winner of this game moves on to the semifinals against either Virginia Tech or Miami-Florida on Saturday. With wins in nine of their final 10 games, the Blue Devils finished 13-3 within the conference and grabbed a share of the program's 12th ACC regular- season crown. Duke won the tie-breaker with Maryland and received the No.1 seed in the ACC Tournament for the 17th time in school history. As the top seed, the Blue Devils are 34-8 all-time, including wins in 14 of their last 15 games, and they have won eight championships. Overall, Duke is tied with North Carolina with 17 titles in this event, and the Blue Devils are the defending champions after topping Florida State in the finals last season. Virginia meanwhile, has won this tourney just one time and that took place all the way back in 1976. Despite a 5-11 finish to the regular-season, the Cavs were able to down eighth-seeded Boston College, 68-62, in opening-round play yesterday. The win snapped a nine-game slide that dated back to early February. As for the all-time series, Duke holds a 111-48 advantage over Virginia and that includes a 67-49 triumph on February 28th. The Cavs hit on 43.4 percent of their attempts from the floor and 14-of-20 at the foul line, as they slipped past BC yesterday. Virginia also did a terrific job protecting the ball, committing only five turnovers. Sammy Zeglinski made 5-of-10 three-pointers on his way to 21 points in the win, while Jeff Jones had 14 points. In all, five players reached double figures for Virginia and that was important considering the team is playing without leading scorer Sylven Landesberg (17.3 ppg), who will miss the remainder of the season for academic reasons. Mike Scott, who posted a double-double 11 points and 13 rebounds, is the squad's lone double-figure scorer at 11.9 ppg and he also pulls down a team-high 7.0 rpg. The Blue Devils are averaging a healthy 79.1 ppg behind a trio of stars in Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith Kyle Singler. A first-team All-ACC pick, Scheyer tops the roster in scoring (18.9 ppg) as well as steals (51) and he even hands out a team-high 5.2 apg. Smith, a second-team all-league choice, follows with 17.6 ppg and he is a 40.4 percent three-point shooter. As for Singler, he was selected to the All-ACC first-team after producing 17.2 ppg and 6.8 rpg during the regular season.

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.
