Basketball Betting Lines
02/21/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers conclude their seven-game homestand
tonight when they welcome the Atlantic Division rival New York Knicks to the
Wachovia Center.
The Sixers fell to 2-4 on their stand before the All-Star break when they were
defeated by the Washington Wizards, 92-85, last Wednesday. Kyle Korver led the
76ers with 18 points off the bench, while Andre Iguodala scored 14 points,
handed out 13 helpers and grabbed eight rebounds.
Andre Miller and Rodney Carney each contributed 13 points and Samuel Dalembert
donated 11 points with 17 rebounds as Philadelphia dropped its third straight
contest.
Philadelphia is currently 9-15 at home this year, but will play its next two
tilts on the road, starting with a game in Charlotte on Friday.
The Knicks were just in action on Tuesday when they recorded a 100-94 win over
Orlando behind 20 points each by Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry.
Quentin Richardson added 15 points and David Lee had 14 points and 16 boards
for the Knicks, who have won four of their last six. Stephon Marbury also had
14 points.
The Knicks, who are 10-17 on the road this season, now find themselves just
three games out of a playoff spot. The team will return home to host Milwaukee
on Friday.
The teams have split two meetings so far this season. Philadelphia won the
first matchup on December 23 before the Knicks snapped a four-game series
losing streak with a 106-99 win on January 10.
The 76ers have won four in a row at home against the Knicks.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
