Raptors still alive for playoff berth; host KnicksBasketball Betting Lines04/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors have one last day to stake their claim for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but they will need some help to do it. Sitting one game behind Chicago in the standings, the Raptors need to win tonight against the New York Knicks and hope the Bobcats upend Chicago in Charlotte. The prize isn't all that great, however, since the eighth seed will face league-leading Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs. The Raptors kept hope alive on Monday when Andrea Bargnani posted 33 points and Amir Johnson added a career-high 26 on 10-of-12 shooting, as Toronto picked up a virtual must-win decision, 111-97, over the Pistons. Jarrett Jack came off the bench and ended with 15 points and 12 assists for the playoff-hopeful Raptors, who shot 60 percent from the floor to snap a debilitating five-game slide. A 104-88 drubbing at the hands of Chicago on Sunday gave the Bulls a one-game lead over the Raptors for the eighth and final seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Toronto still has a chance, however, since it holds the tiebreaker over the Bulls by winning the season series. "This was huge," Jack said of the win over Detroit. "We could have came in and packed it in...But we came in, fought hard and kept a professional mind set. All-Star power forward Chris Bosh will miss his fifth straight game tonight after undergoing surgery on his broken nose last week. The Knicks, meanwhile, will finish a franchise-worst ninth straight losing season tonight. Danilo Gallinari and Sergio Rodriguez combined for 26 of New York's 40 fourth- quarter points on Monday, and the Knicks closed out their home schedule with a 114-103 comeback victory over the Washington Wizards. David Lee led the way with 26 points and also had eight rebounds for the Knicks, who snapped a three-game skid. Gallinari scored 24 to go with eight boards, while Rodriguez had all his points in the final period. It may have been Lee's final home game in a Knicks uniform. He's due to be a free agent this summer. "It's going to be another interesting summer, probably the most interesting summer the NBA's had in years and years just because of the number of teams with cap space," Lee said. "There's bound to be a lot of movement. I've really enjoyed my time here in New York and I hope that it continues. That's my top priority, to be back here in New York." Toney Douglas chipped in 16 points and Chris Duhon netted 14 for New York, which rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the fourth quarter.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis. Be sure to logon to MySportsbook.com to see check out all of the early lines and “March Madness” props. Also be sure to enter the “$10,000,000 Perfect Bracket Contest”.
