Burins remain hot with road win over Isles

Hockey Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tim Thomas stopped 37 shots as Boston clipped the New York Islanders, 3-2, at Nassau Coliseum.

Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Marc Savard tallied for the Bruins, who have won five of six.

Josh Bailey and Matt Moulson scored for the Islanders, who have dropped two in a row and three of four.

Dwayne Roloson suffered the loss despite a 31-save performance.

Down by two goals, the Islanders received a prime chance to get back in the contest, when Isles forward Blake Comeau was hit from behind into the boards by Bruins forward Michael Ryder with 3:54 to play in the second. While Comeau was escorted from the ice on a stretcher, Ryder was given a major and game misconduct.

New York failed to convert on a significant portion of the advantage until intermission, then did not close its deficit on the remainder at the start of the third.

Moulson finally got the Isles within a goal at the 5:43 mark, but the home team could not solve Thomas from there, including a stretch in the final 1:18 with an extra skater.

Lucic notched the lone goal of the first period, on a quick high wrister from the slot with 1:34 to play.

Bailey evened the score on a power play 2:18 into the second, but Krejci finished off a slick pass from Miroslav Satan at 5:04.

Boston went up 3-1 on the power play when Patrice Bergeron's rising point shot went sailing over the net, but caromed right to Savard's feet for an easy backhand tap-in at 9:20 of the second stanza.

Game Notes

The clubs split four meetings this season, with each team winning once at home and on the road...Boston heads to Pittsburgh on Sunday and New York waits until Tuesday to play in Philadelphia.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.


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.
