Yellow Jackets comes calling on Commodores

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

12/09/2006 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 25th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets of the ACC and the Vanderbilt Commodores of the SEC will meet in Nashville today.

Georgia Tech got off to a great start this season with wins in each of its first five games, but the club has lost two of the last three since that point. On Sunday, the Yellow Jackets began league play with a 90-82 setback to Miami, and the fact that they have now allowed 85 or more points in three of the last four games is cause for concern.

Vanderbilt began the campaign with losses in three of its first four contests, but the club has recorded three straight wins since that point. Two days ago, the Commodores rode a strong defensive effort to a 59-50 victory over Lipscomb, and they have held their last two foes to 112 total points after surrendering 70 or more points in each of the first five games.

Vandy holds a 36-32 edge in the all-time series with Georgia Tech, but the Yellow Jackets posted a 76-67 victory in last season's meeting.

Through eight games, Georgia Tech is scoring 86.1 ppg on 51.4 percent efficiency from the field, and it is allowing 73.8 ppg to the opposition. Four players are averaging double figures in scoring, and Lewis Clinch leads the way for the Yellow Jackets with 18.0 ppg on 57.5 percent shooting. Javaris Crittenton adds 14.8 ppg and 5.5 apg to the lineup, and Thaddeus Young is contributing 12.4 ppg. Rounding out the foursome is Jeremis Smith with 10.6 ppg. Clinch poured in 22 points in the loss to Miami last time out, while Crittenton and Ra'Sean Dickey pitched in 19 points apiece. Smith posted 11 points for the Yellow Jackets, who lost despite committing a mere eight turnovers. They allowed Miami to connect on 56.1 percent of its field goal attempts and earn a 37-31 rebounding advantage.

Vanderbilt has done a solid job at the offensive end this season, as the team is scoring 78.9 ppg. Defensively, it is permitting its opponents to post 74.1 ppg. The top offensive contributor for the Commodores is Derrick Byars, as he is netting 15.6 ppg. Shan Foster is close behind with 14.7 ppg, and Ross Neltner rounds out a trio of double-digit scorers with 13.3 ppg. Byars was outstanding in the nine-point win over Lipscomb last time out, as he posted 18 points to go along with nine rebounds. As for Neltner, he pitched in 13 points for the Commodores, who won the game despite shooting 36.5 percent from the floor, including 23.5 percent from three-point range. Fortunately, they earned a 17-5 edge in points from the foul line and a 37-27 rebounding advantage. A low total of nine turnovers also helped the cause.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super 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.
