NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/23/2007 - Knoxville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Abby Waner poured in 24 points and pulled down five rebounds as top-ranked Duke held on to defeat No. 4 Tennessee, 74-70, at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Waner finished 9-of-15 from the field and 6-of-9 from three-point range, including a 5-of-5 stretch in the first half.

Lindsey Harding scored 21 points and dished out seven assists for the Blue Devils (20-0), who began the season 20-0 for the second straight year, tying a school-record for best start. Wanisha Smith added 15 points and Alison Bales contributed eight with eight boards.

Duke finished 49.1 percent from the floor in the contest.

Candace Parker netted 22 points on 10-of-23 shooting with 10 rebounds and six assists for the Lady Vols (17-2), whose only other loss came to second-ranked North Carolina December 3.

Alexis Hornbuckle donated 19 points with nine boards and Sidney Spencer had 13 points in defeat.

The Blue Devils ripped off 19 straight points, including 10 from Waner, in the first 5:27 start the game and led 28-7 following Joy Cheek's layup with 9:28 remaining in the first half.

Tennessee, though, went on an 8-2 run and cut its deficit to 38-27 after two free throws by Spencer with no time left on the clock.

In the second, the Lady Vols scored eight consecutive points to tie the game, 48-48, with just under 11 minutes to play, but Duke regained the advantage when Bales converted twice from the charity stripe and Harding drained a jumper and free throw for a 53-48 edge.

The Blue Devils continued to hold Tennessee at arms length until Alberta Auguste's trey got the Lady Vols within two, 72-70 with 6.1 seconds left, but Harding was consequently fouled and hit both free throws to ice the contest.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
