Third-quarter drought dooms HawksBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta went through the definition of futile in the third quarter, ending the period without a field goal, as the Chicago Bulls widened a halftime edge and rolled to a 106-81 rout of the Hawks at the United Center. Atlanta made eight free throws during the period, not making a field goal for 14:06 spanning three periods. Chicago outscored the Hawks 28-8 in the decisive period, and opened a 76-51 lead at the stanza's conclusion. "In the third quarter, we couldn't make a shot," Hawks head coach Mike Woodson said. "I thought we had good looks, but they got on a nice roll and we continued to not make shots." The Bulls have owned the Hawks of late, winning their 10th straight in the series. Atlanta's last victory occurred on April 9, 2004 at the United Center, but a Chicago victory in the last season meeting would result in three straight season sweeps. Chris Duhon scored a game-high 17 points with seven assists, Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng added 16 points apiece and Malik Allen donated 12 points for Chicago, which snapped a brief two-game losing streak. Josh Childress scored 16 points with seven boards and Marvin Williams added 12 points with six rebounds for the Hawks, who have lost two of three. Atlanta was positioned nicely entering the third quarter, trailing just 48-43, before going the entire period without a basket from the floor. The Hawks finished the stanza 0-for-16 from the field. "We were good (on defense) and they just missed some shots," said Chicago head coach Scott Skiles. "When they had opportunities, we fouled them and they weren't able to get the shot off." P.J. Brown's free throws capped 10 in a row out of the halftime gates for a 58-43 edge, then a Ben Wallace tip-in made the score 70-47 with 2:15 on the clock. The Bulls cruised to victory from there. Chicago led 26-19 after one quarter before Atlanta cut into the deficit. It drew within two points multiple times in the second quarter, the last coming at 34-32 on Childress' jumper with 6:29 remaining. Game Notes Ben Gordon left the game with a left thigh bruise and could have returned if the game was close. Gordon finished with six points on 3-of-11 from the floor...Chicago improved to 21-7 at home this season, while Atlanta fell to 12-17 on the road...The Bulls held a 51-40 edge on the glass.

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.
