Boykins beats buzzer, Wizards extend Nets' miseryBasketball Betting Lines01/29/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Earl Boykins sank a jump shot with 0.4 seconds remaining, lifting Washington to an 81-79 win over the New Jersey Nets. Washington snapped a four-game skid despite having no starter score in double figures. Boykins had 15 to lead the way, followed by Andray Blatche with 14 and Nick Young with 10. The Wizards played their first game since learning guards Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton would be suspended for the remainder of season. NBA Commissioner David Stern made the announcement on Wednesday. The decision came less than two weeks after Arenas pleaded guilty to felony gun possession charges and two days following Crittenton entering a guilty plea on a misdemeanor gun charge. Courtney Lee had 19 points and Brook Lopez recorded 17 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for New Jersey, which failed to build on its fourth victory of the season, a 103-87 triumph over the Clippers on Wednesday. The Nets, who shot 5-of-17 from the field in the last quarter, dropped to 4-41 on the season. New Jersey was held without a basket for nearly a six-minute stretch in the final quarter. Included in that was a shot clock violation with 1:18 remaining, with the Wizards holding a 79-77 edge. Mike Miller then committed an offensive foul, but the Nets didn't take advantage, as Kris Humphries missed a jumper. Boykins was then off the mark on a floater from the right side with nearly a half-minute left, and the Nets tied it on a Lopez layup with 13 seconds to go. Out a timeout, the Wizards ran a pick-and-roll play for Boykins, who shot over Humphries from near the top of the arc to give the Wizards the lead. A desperation shot by Jarvis Hayes missed at the end. The Nets were ahead by as many as 10 in the opening quarter and came away with a 26-18 advantage after 12 minutes, but Washington used a 16-4 spurt in the second to tie it at 38 on a Young free throw. Chris Douglas-Roberts hit a jumper in the final second for a 47-46 New Jersey lead at the half. The Nets led 66-63 moving to the fourth following a Chris Quinn three-ball in the waning seconds. Game Notes Washington won at New Jersey for just the fourth time in the last 18 tries...Miller had seven points and 12 rebounds...The Wizards ended 3-of-17 from beyond the arc.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit CardsMichael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football. As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL. The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago. Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996). But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side. Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show. Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1 Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2 New York Giants - 9 - 2 Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1). Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship. So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume. And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top. They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy. Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday. But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division. Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS. Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS. Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162. Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense? Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS. In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS. Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division. Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do. The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20. The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
