Williams, Jazz open road trip with win over BullsBasketball Betting Lines03/09/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deron Williams poured in 28 points with a game- best 17 assists, as Utah used a big fourth quarter to pull away from Chicago, 132-108, at the United Center. C.J. Miles scored 26 points off the bench, including six treys, while Carlos Boozer notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds and Paul Millsap came within a rebound of joining him with 16 points and nine boards. Mehmet Okur chipped in with 14 points and seven boards, while Andrei Kirilenko joined Wesley Matthews with 12 points apiece in the win. The surging Jazz have won 10 of their last 12 road games in the first of a four-game road trip. Utah moved within one game of idle Denver in the race for the Northwest Division crown. Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 25 points and 13 assists, Brad Miller scored 20 and Luol Deng and Ronald Murray totaled 14 points apiece for the Bulls, who have lost five straight to fall back below .500. The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair with Utah scoring seven of the last eight points to open a 35-30 edge. Utah maintained its small edge for most of the second quarter, but climbed to a seven-point edge behind a quick six-point flurry for a 63-56 game. However, a Miller three and Murray layup capped the first-half scoring for a 63-61 margin. The game was tied at 77-77 as late as the 5:20 mark of the third quarter, but Utah used a 15-4 spurt to end the period and begin to turn the game into a rout. The Jazz tallied seven straight points for an 84-77 lead on Boozer's two free throws, and the edge grew to 92-81 by the end of the quarter on Matthews' two free throws with 21.5 ticks remaining. The Bulls scored five points in a nine-second span early in the fourth capped by Hakim Warrick's slam for a 92-86 game, but Chicago never got closer than that the rest of the way. The margin was as narrow as nine with just over six minutes left, 108-99, on Rose's driving layup, but over the next four-plus minutes, Utah went on a 21-7 stretch to pull away. Game Notes Utah shot a torrid 54.2 percent from the floor, including a 12-of-20 effort from beyond the arc...Chicago made 53.9 percent of its shots, but allowed Utah to collect 14 offensive rebounds and Rose committed five turnovers...The game featured three ties and three lead changes...Rose tied his career high in assists, first set on December 29, 2008 at New Jersey...Utah had lost four of its last five trips to the United Center prior to Tuesday's victory.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
