Wolf Pack on the hunt against Bulldogs

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Off to the best start in school history, the 15th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack try to stay on top of the rest of the Western Athletic Conference as they welcome the Fresno State Bulldogs to the Lawlor Events Center tonight in Reno.

On Saturday, the Pack faced their toughest test yet, aside from their loss to in-state rival UNLV back in early December, as they went to overtime against Hawaii and managed to pull out a 68-66 victory out on the island. The win was the ninth straight for the program, which previously boasted a 15-2 mark after 17 games back in 1951-52.

As for the Bulldogs, they had only two setbacks heading into play a week ago, but since then the team has fallen to Hawaii and San Jose State, both on the road. The 64-61 defeat at the hands of the Spartans on Saturday was one of the worst in recent memory for FSU because San Jose was a mere 1-13 heading into that meeting.

With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, the Pack hold a 38-34 lead. Winners of 22 of the 36 games played in Reno, Nevada has captured victories in seven of the last 10 meetings overall regardless of location.

Fresno State shot just 36.5 percent from the field and turned the ball over 16 times as the team bowed to San Jose State at The Event Center over the weekend. Hector Hernandez scored all 15 of his points on 5-of-9 shooting behind the three-point line, while Eddie Miller checked in with 14 points on 4-of-8 beyond the arc off the bench. Ja'Vance Coleman added 12 points and five assists, but he made a mere 2-of-10 from the floor, followed by Quinton Hosley who posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 boards in the outing. Hosley remains the top scorer for the Bulldogs with his 14.1 ppg and is also one of the better rebounders on the squad with 8.7 rpg. Dominic McGuire (12.2 ppg) is responsible for 9.2 rpg and has already recorded 63 blocked shots which, as of Tuesday had him ranked seventh in the nation with an average of 3.7 rejections per game. At 53 percent from three-point range, Hernandez was listed as the fourth-best perimeter shooter in the nation heading into play this week.

Two-time WAC Player of the Year Nick Fazekas has missed the last two games for the Wolf Pack with an ankle injury and at the moment it doesn't appear as though he is going to be back on the floor tonight either. Without him in the lineup on Saturday, the Pack had to go to overtime to beat Hawaii by just a single bucket in Honolulu. Ramon Sessions posted 19 points and Kyle Shiloh had 18 on 8-of-10 shooting from the field. Marcelus Kemp chipped in 11 points, but he only reached that after making a mere 4-of-17 from the floor. With Fazekas on the sidelines, it has been Kemp who has held the team together offensively, averaging 23.3 ppg over the four league outings. Kemp is putting up 19.2 ppg and shooting 42.2 percent from three- point range overall this season. Sessions and Shiloh have accounted for 13.8 and 12.8 ppg, respectively, in conference play as well. Fazekas was shooting 72.2 percent from the field and clearing 10 rpg in his two WAC games, so Nevada has a lot of work to do if it is going to come out of this meeting unscathed.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

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.
