Kings welcome Pacers to ARCO ArenaBasketball Betting Lines12/02/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sacramento Kings hope to finish a four-game homestand in perfect fashion Wednesday when they welcome the Indiana Pacers to ARCO Arena. The Kings improved to 3-0 on the residency Sunday when Sergio Rodriguez scored a career-high 24 points, as Sacramento took a 112-96 victory over the New Orleans Hornets. Jason Thompson added 22 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings, who are an impressive 7-2 as the host this season. Beno Udrih made all five of his field goals and finished with 13 points and three steals off the bench in the victory. "We kept pretty much running the same play, and he was just converting," Thompson said of Rodriguez. "He had it going, so why not give it to the hot man?" The Pacers, meanwhile, lost for the sixth time in seven games Monday, dropping the opener of a four-game road trip in Oakland. Monta Ellis had a career night, going 15-of-27 from the field and hitting 14-of-16 free throws en route to 45 points in that one, as Golden State pulled away late to top Indiana, 126-107. Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy each posted 22 points, and Dahntay Jones scored 21 for the Pacers, who will also visit Utah and the LA Clippers on their trek. T.J. Ford chipped in 17 points, six boards and four assists. "It's not just defense, it's all aspects of the game," Dunleavy said when asked about why the Pacers are losing. "It's taking care of the ball, taking good shots and having composure. We just didn't do enough tonight. When they went on a run in the third quarter we folded like a deck of cards. It's too bad." The Pacers swept the home-and-home series between the two clubs last year and have won two straight trips to Sacramento.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East. Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around. The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com. Mysportsbook.com online sportsbook accepts Visa and Mastercard credit cards.
