Bulls, Pacers square off in IndyBasketball Betting Lines02/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls aim for their third straight win this afternoon on the road against the Central Division-rival Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. The Bulls recorded their second straight victory by handing the Denver Nuggets a 116-99 loss on Friday at the United Center. Ben Gordon led the charge with 37 points, while Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas scored 22 and 21 points, respectively, in a winning cause. Joakim Noah ended with 13 points and seven rebounds for Chicago, which got 10 points, six rebounds and six assists from rookie Derrick Rose. The Bulls' new additions from Thursday's trade, forward Tim Thomas, center Jerome James and guard Anthony Roberson, did not play in the game. Center Brad Miller and forward John Salmons, acquired from Sacramento on Wednesday, also did not see action. James is out with an Achilles' injury, and Miller is questionable with an abdominal strain. Salmons (lower back) is listed as probable. Indiana, meanwhile, is familiar with the injury bug as leading scorer Danny Granger is out with a torn tendon in the sole of his right foot. Granger is averaging 25.0 points per game this season for the Pacers, who have alternated wins and losses over the past eight games. In Friday's 112-105 triumph at Minnesota, Marquis Daniels netted 24 points on 11-of-18 shooting to help the Pacers end a 10-game road losing streak. Jarrett Jack scored 18 points and handed out five assists, while Troy Murphy pumped in 16 points and 14 rebounds in the win. T.J. Ford added 13 points and Brandon Rush 10 for Indiana, which is also toiling without sharp-shooting forward Mike Dunleavy, who is out indefinitely with a right knee injury. Dunleavy also missed the first 34 games of the season with the problem. The Bulls defeated the Pacers, 104-91, on November 15 this season in the Windy City, and have won 10 of the past 16 meetings. Indiana, however, has won 17 of the previous 20 contests as the host in this series. Chicago is 10-19 as the guest this season, while Indiana sports a 16-11 mark at Conseco Fieldhouse in 2008-09.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDSNFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with. Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win. Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year. Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City. The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
