USA Basketball adds HinrichBasketball Betting Lines07/12/2006 - Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - USA Basketball announced on Wednesday it has added Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich to the 2006-08 men's senior national team. Hinrich wrapped up his third NBA season last year in Chicago by averaging a career-high 15.9 points per game in addition to 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.16 steals per game in a career-high 81 games. His addition brings USA's roster to 24 players. "We're happy to add Kirk. He is a great competitor who should excel in international play," said team managing director Jerry Colangelo. "His game continues to progress and we believe he will fit in well with the style of play we anticipate playing." Hinrich was selected by the Bulls seventh overall in the 2003 draft after spending four seasons at the University of Kansas. He was also a member of the 1999 USA Basketball junior national select team. "It's an honor to be invited to represent the United States and play for USA Basketball. Our team has incredible talent and I look forward to doing anything I can to contribute to make the team as good as it can be," said Hinrich. "I love my country and the opportunity to bring home a gold medal is a dream come true." Other talents on team USA include Miami's Dwayne Wade, Cleveland's LeBron James and Kobe Bryant of Los Angeles. The squad opens training on July 19 in Las Vegas.

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.
