Big East action features Georgetown at Rutgers

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/14/2010 - Piscataway, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The seventh-ranked Georgetown Hoyas go for the season sweep of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights today, as the two Big East rivals clash at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.

The Hoyas easily handled the Knights, 88-63, in the first meeting of the season, as they have now won eight straight games in the rivalry. Overall, Georgetown holds a 25-15 all-time series lead over the Knights, who last defeated the Hoyas in 2003.

Currently, Georgetown has won two straight and three of its past four outings, including a 79-70 besting of Providence on Tuesday. The team is now 18-5 overall and 8-4 within the conference.

As for the Knights, they stepped out of league play on Tuesday and posted a less than convincing 70-62 victory over Division II Caldwell. Still, it was the team's third win in four games following a lengthy nine-game slide. Rutgers is now an even 12-12 overall, although it has gone just 2-9 in Big East play.

The Hoyas shot a sizzling 60.7 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes, as they rallied to defeat Providence earlier in the week. Georgetown added a 16-of-21 effort from the foul line and had 20 assists on 30 made field goals. Chris Wright led a balanced attack with 21 points on 7-of-12 field goals, while Julian Vaughn posed 19 points. Austin Freeman tallied 17 points and Greg Monroe recorded a double-double with 12 points and 12 assists. On the season, Freeman tops the roster in scoring at 16.8 ppg and he is a 50.0 percent three-point shooter. Monroe can just about do it all and he turns in 15.4 ppg, a team-high 9.5 rpg and 3.6 apg for the Hoyas. Wright tacks on 14.6 ppg, to go with a team-best 4.0 apg, and Jason Clark rounds out the double- digit scorers with 10.9 pg.

The Knights hit on 42.3 percent of their attempts from the floor and 11-of-28 from three-point range, as they picked up 70-62 victory over Caldwell on Tuesday. Rutgers also did a solid job at the foul line, where it went 15- of-19. Mike Rosario dropped in 25 points to lead the way, while Jonathan Mitchell posted 14 points and seven rebounds. For the season, Rosario averages 16.7 ppg to lead Rutgers and he also grabs 4.1 rpg. Mitchell adds 11.6 ppg and 5.4 rpg, while Hamady Ndiaye contributes 9.3 ppg and a team-best 6.7 rpg.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
