Hawks snap long skid in Salt Lake with win over depleted JazzBasketball Betting Lines02/23/2010 - Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joe Johnson poured in 28 points, grabbed six rebounds, and dished out six assists, as the Atlanta Hawks took a 105-100 decision over the Utah Jazz to record their first victory in Salt Lake City in 17 years. The Hawks snapped a 15-game skid in Utah, winning at the Jazz for the first time since February 13, 1993. However, Atlanta has won its last three games against Utah. Josh Smith added 18 points, nine rebounds, and five assists for the Hawks, who ended a four-game road trip with a 2-2 mark. Jamal Crawford donated 17 points off the bench while Al Horford chipped in 13 points and seven rebounds for Atlanta, which shot 54.2 percent from the floor. Paul Millsap finished with 14 points and nine boards off the bench for the Jazz, who were coming off a perfect four-game road trip. Kyle Korver and Ronnie Price each had 13 points. Carlos Boozer tallied 12 points, 10 boards, and eight assists, while C.J. Miles ended with 12 points and five rebounds in defeat. Utah was without forward Andrei Kirilenko (back spasms) and guard Deron Williams (bruised right quadricep) on Monday. Korver's jumper put the Jazz ahead 95-94 with 2:47 to play in the fourth. Johnson responded with a three-pointer at the other end to give Atlanta a two- point edge. Crawford then stole the ball from Boozer, and after being fouled, made two foul shots to give the Hawks a 99-95 lead with 2:07 remaining. The Jazz had the ball following misses from Boozer and Johnson. Price's layup was blocked by Horford but Millsap grabbed the rebound and dished off to Price, who was off the mark on a three-pointer. Boozer came up with the board and made a layup to cut the margin to two with 1:15 left. Mike Bibby missed a jumper at the opposite end of the floor and Boozer was in position for the defensive board. But he bobbled the ball and it went off his knee before going out of play. Crawford capitalized by driving to the lane and pulling up for a 15-foot jumper, giving Atlanta a 101-97 edge with 37.5 ticks to go. Miles missed two foul shots and a jumpball took place following the second miss. The Hawks won the jumpball at center court, and Crawford made 1-of-2 from the foul line to make it 102-97 with 24.5 seconds remaining. Atlanta made 3-of-4 from the charity stripe from there on to seal the victory. The Hawks led 28-24 after 12 minutes and took a 54-51 margin into the locker room. The Jazz held a 75-74 edge following a back-and-forth third quarter. Game Notes Despite the loss, the Jazz own an 11-4 mark in the previous 15 encounters with the Hawks...The Jazz dropped to 22-8 as the host this season...Utah shot 48.2 percent from the field...Atlanta went 8-of-16 from beyond the arc, while the Jazz made just 4-of-17 three-pointers.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half. Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout. Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper". 22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009Super 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.
