Sixers shoot for season-high 5th straight win vs. WolvesBasketball Betting Lines02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The last time Minnesota and Philadelphia got together the Sixers blew a 20-point lead en route to an overtime loss. The 76ers will try to maintain any sort of advantage tonight, when they try to extend their season high winning streak to five games versus the Timberwolves at the Wachovia Center. The 108-103 overtime setback at the Target Center back on January 18 lifted Minnesota to a 5-2 mark in the past seven matchups in this series. The Sixers, however, have won two in a row and six of eight matchups between the teams in the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia made it four straight wins with Saturday's 102-95 victory at Houston, as Andre Iguodala ended with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and hit a big three-pointer down the stretch to lead the way. Thaddeus Young netted a team-high 17 points, while Willie Green and Elton Brand chipped in 15 and 13 points, respectively, for the Sixers, who will try to stop a two-game slide as the host Tuesday. "We're in a good groove. Hopefully we can bottle it up," Sixers guard Lou Williams said. Williams, who had nine points in the victory, is questionable for tonight's game due to a sinus infection. Veteran guard Allen Iverson is also questionable because one of his children is ill and has missed three consecutive games for the 76ers, who are 8-16 as the host and 12-9 since opening the campaign with a 7-22 mark. Minnesota is also riding a four-game winning streak and has scored 100 or more points in each of those contests. In Saturday's 109-102 victory versus the Memphis Grizzlies in the Twin Cities, Ryan Gomes scored 26 points and Al Jefferson added 23 points and seven rebounds for the Timberwolves, who last won four in a row during a five-game streak from January 2-10, 2009. Ramon Sessions contributed 19 points off the bench. "We showed a different side of us tonight," Jefferson said. "I think we really surprised ourselves." Corey Brewer had 17 points in the victory. The T'Wolves sport a 4-21 road mark this season and shot 55.6 percent in Saturday's win. It was their second-highest percentage of the season and the fourth straight game they've reached the 50 percent mark.

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. |
