NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jasmine Thomas scored a game-high 21 points, and ninth-ranked Duke survived down the stretch to beat Maryland, 66-64, and advance to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament.

Joy Cheek added 14 points, five rebounds and four assists for the Blue Devils (25-5), who advanced to play Georgia Tech on Saturday. Karima Christmas contributed with 11 points in the win.

Lynetta Kizer tallied 16 points and six boards for the Terps (19-12), who had beaten North Carolina in the first round of the tourney. Anjale Barrett posted 15 points, while Lori Bjork had 14 in defeat.

A pair of free throws from Bjork put Maryland in front, 63-62, with 2:29 to play, but Bridgette Mitchell answered with two crucial shots from the line 10 seconds later to put the Blue Devils back ahead.

The Terrapins quickly turned the ball over, leading to Cheek's layup for a three-point Duke lead with 1:38 to go. Maryland proceeded to miss its last four shots, including a potential game-winning three-pointer from Jackie Nared as time expired.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.

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)
