No.1 Kentucky takes act on the road

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/11/2012 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats put their unblemished SEC record in harm's way this evening in Nashville, as they take on the dangerous Vanderbilt Commodores at Memorial Gym.

John Calipari's Wildcats are young, but their abundance of talent has lifted them to a sterling 24-1 overall mark, including a 10-0 record in SEC play thus far. Kentucky was supposed to be challenged this week by nationally-ranked Florida, but the Gators became just another victim in a 78-58 rout in Lexington, marking the Wildcats' 16th straight victory.

Kevin Stallings' Commodores are a solid 17-7 on the season and are a decent 6-3 in SEC action thus far. The team did suffer recent back-to-back losses to Arkansas and Florida, but halted the skid with a 76-61 win over LSU this week.

Kentucky holds a 134-44 edge in the all-time series, but the Commodores have won five of the last six meetings in Nashville.

The Wildcats picked up their 16th straight win in rather easy fashion, disposing of Florida by 20 points this week. The team placed four players in double figures and two of them recorded double-doubles, with Michael Kidd- Gilchrist posting 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Marquis Teague finished with 12 points and 10 assists. Doron Lamb led the offensive charge with 18 points, while center Anthony Davis was his usual dominant self down low, with 16 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots. Kentucky never allowed Florida to get into an offensive rhythm, while the Wildcats delivered on 52.7 percent from the floor, including 60 percent from behind the arc (9-of-15).

Davis may just be a freshman, but the 6-10 youngster has come on strong and has asserted himself as one of the top big men in the country. He currently leads Kentucky in scoring (14.0 ppg) and rebounding (10.0 rpg), while leading the entire country in blocked shots (120). Three others are averaging double figures in scoring, giving the team plenty of options at the offensive end. Lamb is next in line at 13.6 ppg, followed by Kidd-Gilchrist (12.6 ppg) and Terrence Jones (12.1 ppg). Darius Miller (9.9 ppg) and Teague (9.7 ppg) provide even more depth and help the team to a national-best +20.5 scoring margin.

Vanderbilt will not shy away from turning this game into a shootout, as there is plenty of firepower on the roster. Two of the top three scorers in the SEC are Commodores, with John Jenkins leading the league with 19.7 ppg and Jeffery Taylor not far behind at third with 17.8 ppg. Both players are shooting well over 40 percent from behind the arc this year, with Jenkins 89 three-pointers leading the team. Frontcourt help comes in the form of center Festus Ezeli (10.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg) and forward Lance Goulbourne (9.3 ppg, 7.0 rpg).

Vanderbilt showed its offensive punch in the lopsided win over LSU this week, hitting 50 percent from the floor. Ezeli led the team with 21 points, thanks to 8-of-10 shooting from the floor. Jenkins hit four three-pointers en route to a 20-point outing, while Taylor added three from long range and finished with 19 points.

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.
