Blazers hope to get back on track in the Twin Cities vs. WolvesBasketball Betting Lines02/27/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to salvage the finale of their current road trip in tonight's clash with the Minnesota Timberwolves from the Target Center. Portland suffered losses to a pair of the Western Conference's top clubs in Houston and San Antonio during the first two tests of its three-game swing and has now dropped five in a row on the road. The Blazers are just 12-17 as the visiting team this season, compared to an excellent 23-5 mark on their home court. Despite playing without Tim Duncan, the Spurs extended Portland's road woes with Wednesday's 99-84 victory at the AT&T Center. The Trail Blazers shot a woeful 37.6 percent from the field, with leading scorer Brandon Roy managing just 14 points while making 5-of-18 attempts. Channing Frye led Portland with 15 points and added seven rebounds, while LaMarcus Aldridge and Travis Outlaw each scored 13 points in the loss. The road-challenged Blazers figure to have a better chance to get back in the win column tonight, considering the Timberwolves are only 8-20 at the Target Center so far this season and are mired in a four-game overall losing streak. Portland has also had great success when facing the T-Wolves as of late. The Trail Blazers have won the last six meetings between these teams, with three of those victories having taken place in Minnesota. The Timberwolves' recent struggles continued with Wednesday's 120-103 setback to visiting Utah, the team's ninth defeat in its last 10 games. Minnesota has surrendered 110 points or more in each of its past six losses. On the bright side, Kevin Love put together his most productive game of his brief career for the Timberwolves. The rookie forward, the fifth overall pick of the 2008 draft, scored a personal-best 24 points and tied a season high with 15 rebounds. Ryan Gomes also netted 24 points for Minnesota, which received 21 points from Mike Miller as well on the evening. However, the Bucks did rout the Mavs by a 133-99 score at the Bradley Center back on January 21, with Villanueva leading the way with 32 points and 10 rebounds.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy. MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line) Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line) Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.
