Oklahoma City Thunder 2010 Draft PreviewBasketball Betting Lines06/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The best young team in basketball will have a chance to add a few more pieces to the puzzle in the 2010 NBA Draft. The past three drafts have given Oklahoma City Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and James Harden, bringing the organization youth, energy and most of all talent. In fact, you could make a strong argument that it was the Thunder that gave the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers their toughest test this season, at least before Boston took them the distance in The Finals. General manager Sam Presti would like to add a true low-post scorer to complement Durant as well as a solid three-point shooter. With three picks between Nos. 21 and 32, the Thunder could also continue to stockpile talent in order to make a move via trade since they have significant salary cap room. Oklahoma City is so skilled on the wings and in the backcourt, it could be looking for another big body at 21 and raw Nigerian big man Solomon Alabi of Florida State has a significant defensive upside. Players under contract: F/C Nick Collison; F Kevin Durant; F Jeff Green; G James Harden; C Serge Ibaka; C Nenad Krstic; G Eric Maynor; C Byron Mullens; G Thabo Sefolosha; G Kyle Weaver; G Russell Westbrook; F D.J. White Free agents: G Mustafa Shakur (restricted); G Kevin Ollie (unrestricted); F Etan Thomas (unrestricted) Draft picks: 1st round (21st overall, 26th overall); 2nd round (32nd overall, 51st overall)

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. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs.
NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East. Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around. The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
