76ers, Heat square off in South BeachBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eastern Conference rivals meet in South Beach Saturday afternoon when the Philadelphia 76ers kick off a four-game road trip against the Miami Heat. The Sixers dropped their second straight game since the All-Star break on Wednesday when Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and 14 rebounds as the Denver Nuggets continued a successful run on the road with a 101-89 victory over Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center. Andre Miller paced Philadelphia with 17 points but left in the third quarter with a right calf strain and did not return. Lou Williams contributed 15 points off the bench, while Thaddeus Young and Samuel Dalembert each had 12 points in the loss, the Sixers' second in a row following a four-game win streak. Andre Iguodala was just 1-of-6 from the field for 10 points in 27-plus minutes and fouled out for the first time this season. Miller is listed as questionable after an MRI exam Thursday confirmed he suffered a right calf strain. The 32-year-old Utah product, who is averaging a team-best 6.4 assists and 15.8 points this season, has played in 501 consecutive games, the NBA's longest active streak. Philadelphia will also visit New Jersey, Washington and New York on its trek. The Heat, meanwhile, opened a short two-game homestand in losing fashion on Wednesday after Sebastian Telfair made six of Minnesota's 14 three-pointers and finished with a career-high 30 points, as the Timberwolves topped Miami, 111-104. Dwyane Wade had 37 points and 12 assists, while Udonis Haslem added 17 points for the Heat, who fell to 17-10 as the host this season. Miami center Jermaine O'Neal made his debut with the team after being acquired from Toronto over the All-Star break, along with forward Jamario Moon. O'Neal ended with 13 points, but his introduction wasn't enough for the Heat to post their second consecutive win, as they beat Chicago on February 12. Miami hasn't won back-to-back games since a three-game streak from January 24-28. O'Neal (eye) and Wade (flu) are probable versus the 76ers, while James Jones (wrist/hand) is listed as questionable. The Heat and Sixers have split a pair of games this season with Philadelphia winning the most recent encounter, 94-84, on February 7 in the City of Brotherly Love. Overall, Philly has taken six of its past seven meetings with Miami but was routed in South Beach, 106-83, early this 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.
