Blue Devils come north to challenge EaglesNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/06/2010 - Chestnut Hill, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - For the second time in less than a month, the Duke Blue Devils and Boston College Eagles will meet on the hardwood, this time doing so at Silvio O. Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Duke, which comes in sporting an 18-4 record and the No. 10 ranking in the most recent AP Poll, took care of No. 21 Georgia Tech on Thursday night in an 86-67 final at home. It was an impressive effort by the Blue Devils, who were beaten in their previous outing at Georgetown, 89-77. Duke is 6-2 in the ACC, but where the team has struggled has been away from home, going just 1-4 in true road games thus far. Boston College has been up-and-down all year, never winning more than three games in a row, but never losing more than three straight either. The Eagles have dropped five of their last seven games, but alternated wins and losses over their last four. The most recent encounter had BC hosting Florida State last weekend, that clash resulting in a 61-57 setback as the team fell to 8-5 at home. The Eagles are 3-5 in ACC play. Duke owns an 11-2 edge in the all-time series with BC, and the Blue Devils have won three of the previous four meetings in Chestnut Hill. The Eagles are just 1-9 against Duke since joining the ACC. Kyle Singler scored a career-high 30 points behind a stellar 8-of-10 effort from three-point range helping Duke claim an 86-67 win over Georgia Tech on Thursday night. Jon Scheyer added 21 points, seven assists and two steals, while Nolan Smith chipped in with 14 points and four assists. Duke hit the mark on 12-of-18 three-point attempts, outscoring the Yellow Jackets 36-9 from beyond the arc. The Blue Devils posted a 17-1 edge in points off turnovers and won the rebounding battle as well. Scheyer, Smith and Singler are the NCAA's most productive trio, combining for 53.6 ppg. In addition to Singler's scoring touch, he is the team's leading rebounder (7.1 rpg), while Scheyer, a Bob Cousy Award Finalist, serves as its primary playmaker (5.7 apg). As a team, Duke is outscoring the opposition by roughly 19 ppg (82.1 to 63.0), while shooting 46.3 percent from the field, 39.4 percent from long range and 76.6 percent from the free-throw line. Although they haven't been able to consistently win games, the Eagles own favorable margins in scoring (+4.9) and rebounding (+5.5). They feature four double-digit scorers in the starting lineup, beginning with Joe Trapani and his 14.5 ppg. Trapani also paces the club in three-pointers (35), blocks (19) and rebounds (6.5 rpg). Reggie Jackson is netting 13.6 ppg while also grabbing 5.8 rpg, and Corey Raji chips in with 11.4 points and 6.4 caroms per contest. Rakim Sanders rounds out the offensive-minded quartet with 10.9 ppg, although his 38.2 percent shooting from the field and 28.8 percent from three-point range are in dire need of improvement. Sanders scored a game-high 17 points, and Trapani contributed 15 more, but those effort were wasted as BC dropped a four-point decision at home to Florida State last weekend. The Eagles were outrebounded (39-22) in the game, and attempted just four free throws -- their lowest total in more than a decade. They did do a good job in defending the three-pointer, as the Seminoles made just 1-of-13 from beyond the arc.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season. There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
