Buckeyes can't stop Spartans' perimeter game

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/06/2009 - East Lansing, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kalin Lucas scored 20 points and Raymar Morgan notched a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, as eighth- ranked Michigan State disposed of Big Ten compatriot Ohio State, 67-58, at the Breslin Center.

Goran Suton chipped in with nine points and nine rebounds for the Spartans (12-2, 3-0 Big Ten), who won for the eighth straight game.

William Buford led Ohio State (10-3, 1-2) with 17 points, B.J. Mullens added some inside clout with 16 points and Evan Turner donated 14 points and 10 rebounds. Ohio State has dropped three of four after starting the campaign with a 9-0 mark.

The Spartans went over four minutes without a field goal in the first half before flooding the Buckeyes with a barrage of three-point connections. A Lucas trey off dribble penetration by Suton handed the home-standing Spartans a 23-20 edge. Lucas connected one more time from long distance and Morgan added a three-point try. Morgan's bucket inside the arch capped a 12-0 bonanza for a 31-20 lead.

Michigan State used the collective hot hand to seize a 35-24 advantage after 20 minutes of play.

A Suton three and a Delvin Roe jumper right out of the locker room pushed the Spartans out to a 40-24 lead.

Mullens' slam brought the Buckeyes within 55-47, and they had several opportunities to cut the deficit even further -- but as one of the game's major storylines, Ohio State just couldn't put the ball in the basket.

Michigan State finally put five straight points on the scoreboard capped by Suton's mid-range jumper for a 60-47 lead with just over 5 1/2 minutes on the clock.

The Spartans rolled to victory from there.

Game Notes

The Spartans hit eight three-pointers, while the Buckeyes connected on just 4- of-16 from beyond the arc...Ohio State also attempted less free throws (13) than Michigan State made (17)...Michigan State leads the all-time series 62-50.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

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.
