Nuggets, Blazers renew rivalry in DenverBasketball Betting Lines03/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of Northwest Division rivals get together again Sunday night, when the Denver Nuggets wrap up a three-game homestand versus the Portland Trail Blazers at the Pepsi Center. The division-leading Nuggets have won two straight and five of their last seven games, including Friday's 122-114 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Carmelo Anthony poured in 34 points and J.R. Smith chipped in 20 and eight assists for Denver, which is third in the Western Conference standings. "There was balance to what we did," Nuggets head coach George Karl said. "It was a solid win, but it wasn't anything special." Chauncey Billups had 14 points on 3-of-13 shooting in the win. The Nuggets, who have won four straight in the Rockies and are 27-5 at home, will kick off a four-game road trip after tonight's showdown versus the Blazers. Anthony has scored 30-plus points in consecutive games for the first time since doing so in five straight contests back in December. Dating back to March of last season, Denver has won 37 of the last 42 home games. Meanwhile, Portland has won three in a row and five of six games. It is coming off Wednesday's 102-79 victory over the Pacers thanks to 22 points from Brandon Roy. LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in 19 points and seven rebounds for Portland, which is eighth in the conference standings. "This [was] a tough game to play after being on the road for so long and having success...it felt like another road game," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "I thought our guys were business right from the start." Andre Miller and Jerryd Bayless registered 12 and 10 points, respectively, in the win for the Trail Blazers. On the injury front, center Marcus Camby is questionable against Denver due to a sprained ankle. The 2009-10 season series between Portland and Denver is tied at a game apiece, but the Nuggets are 19-7 in the past 26 matchups between the teams. Portland has dropped two straight and 11 of 12 visits to the Pepsi Center. Roy has averaged 35.5 points, including a 41-point performance on Christmas, in the two meetings with the Nuggets this season.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change TeamsIt’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column. We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side. Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor. Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season. Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference. The Dolphins will make NFL wagering 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 college football betting needs. |
