Varejao's slam helps Cavs edge RaptorsBasketball Betting Lines02/22/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LeBron James scored 29 points, Anderson Varejao slammed in a rebound with 16 seconds left, and Morris Peterson's jumper at the buzzer rimmed out, preserving Cleveland's 86-85 win over the Toronto Raptors. Varejao finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who have won five of six . Larry Hughes scored 14 points for Cleveland, and Aleksandar Pavlovic added 10 points off the bench. Drew Gooden also grabbed 13 boards for the Cavs. Chris Bosh scored 24 points and pulled down 10 boards for the Raptors, who had won 10 of 12 entering the game. Andrea Bargnani finished with 18 points and seven rebounds, and Jose Calderon added 10 points for Toronto. Trailing 85-84 late in regulation, the Cavs called a play to work an open shot from the corner for Pavlovic, whose look was clean, but he could not make the three. Fortunately for the Cavs, Varejao made an incredibly athletic play, leaping over Bosh, grabbing the rebound high off the glass with his right hand, and slamming it through the net in one swift motion, giving the Cavs a one-point lead with 16 seconds left. After a T.J. Ford missed layup the ball was tipped out of bounds, but the officials did not know off of who, and so a jump ball was called. Bosh won the tip for Toronto, but tapped the ball a little too strong, leaving a foot race between Cleveland's Eric Snow and Ford for the ball. Ford grabbed the ball and called timeout, leaving two seconds on the clock. The ensuing play worked to perfection, with Peterson coming wide open off of a screen, but he rushed his shot, took it off-balance, and the ball rimmed out as the buzzer sounded, preserving the Cleveland win. The Cavs had led the even-matched contest, 71-70, entering the fourth quarter. Toronto led after one quarter of play, 25-23, and 48-44 at the half. Game Notes The loss snapped Toronto's eight-game winning streak at home...The Cavs have won 8 of 10 against Toronto...Cleveland shot 3-of-15 from behind the arc.

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. |
