NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/28/2007 - Provo, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trent Plaisted recorded a game-high 22 points and collected seven rebounds, as BYU toppled 16th-ranked Air Force, 61-52 at the Marriott Center in a Mountain West conference clash.

Keena Young scored 17 for the Cougars (15-6, 5-2 MWC), who have won three of their last four games. Lee Cummard added eight points and six boards, while Austin Ainge chipped in six points and eight boards for BYU, which has won 27 straight games at home.

Matt McCraw posted 14 points, and both Nick Welch and Dan Nwaelele scored 13 for the Falcons (19-3, 6-2), who had their two-game winning streak ended. Tim Anderson posted a team-high six rebounds in the loss.

However, Nwaelele's three-pointer with seconds left in the half brought the Falcons within 10 points, 31-21, at the break.

BYU opened up a 14-point lead early in the second half, but Jacob Burtschi's layup with 6:35 played in the second pulled Air Force within 40-37. The Cougars got a little breathing room on Jimmy Balderson's make for a 49-42 advantage with 6:57 to go.

Although a 6-0 run by the visitors got them within a point, BYU did not collapse, and eventually sealed the victory when Keena Young converted a three-point play with 19 seconds left, then hit two more from the line in the waning seconds.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
