Raptors still alive for playoff berth; host KnicksBasketball Betting Lines04/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors have one last day to stake their claim for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but they will need some help to do it. Sitting one game behind Chicago in the standings, the Raptors need to win tonight against the New York Knicks and hope the Bobcats upend Chicago in Charlotte. The prize isn't all that great, however, since the eighth seed will face league-leading Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs. The Raptors kept hope alive on Monday when Andrea Bargnani posted 33 points and Amir Johnson added a career-high 26 on 10-of-12 shooting, as Toronto picked up a virtual must-win decision, 111-97, over the Pistons. Jarrett Jack came off the bench and ended with 15 points and 12 assists for the playoff-hopeful Raptors, who shot 60 percent from the floor to snap a debilitating five-game slide. A 104-88 drubbing at the hands of Chicago on Sunday gave the Bulls a one-game lead over the Raptors for the eighth and final seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Toronto still has a chance, however, since it holds the tiebreaker over the Bulls by winning the season series. "This was huge," Jack said of the win over Detroit. "We could have came in and packed it in...But we came in, fought hard and kept a professional mind set. All-Star power forward Chris Bosh will miss his fifth straight game tonight after undergoing surgery on his broken nose last week. The Knicks, meanwhile, will finish a franchise-worst ninth straight losing season tonight. Danilo Gallinari and Sergio Rodriguez combined for 26 of New York's 40 fourth- quarter points on Monday, and the Knicks closed out their home schedule with a 114-103 comeback victory over the Washington Wizards. David Lee led the way with 26 points and also had eight rebounds for the Knicks, who snapped a three-game skid. Gallinari scored 24 to go with eight boards, while Rodriguez had all his points in the final period. It may have been Lee's final home game in a Knicks uniform. He's due to be a free agent this summer. "It's going to be another interesting summer, probably the most interesting summer the NBA's had in years and years just because of the number of teams with cap space," Lee said. "There's bound to be a lot of movement. I've really enjoyed my time here in New York and I hope that it continues. That's my top priority, to be back here in New York." Toney Douglas chipped in 16 points and Chris Duhon netted 14 for New York, which rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the fourth quarter.

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. |
