Bulldogs take on Ramblers in Chicago
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/25/2007 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Butler Bulldogs of the Horizon League
are currently ranked 14th in the nation, and they hope to continue
their dominance of conference opponents in tonight's clash with Loyola-
Chicago.
Butler has won its last three games and seven of the last eight to improve
to 17-2 overall and 5-1 in Horizon action. The last three victories have
all come by 15 or more points, including an 80-59 thrashing of Wisconsin-
Green Bay on Saturday.
Loyola has put together back-to-back wins to move to 13-7 overall, and the
squad is 4-3 against league opponents. Of the 10 home games that the
Ramblers have played, nine have resulted in victory. Saturday's home
bout against IPFW ended in a 69-53 triumph.
Butler owns a 41-28 lead in the all-time series with Loyola, and the
Bulldogs have won five of the last six meetings.
The key to Butler's success this season has been its ability to
play outstanding defense, as it is limiting opponents to just 55.6 ppg
on 40.3 percent shooting from the floor. Also, the Bulldogs have committed
just 191 turnovers in 19 games, an average of 10 per contest, and they
are forcing almost 15 giveaways per outing. The leading scorer for Butler is
A.J. Graves, as his 18.6 ppg can be attributed much more to his 98.9 percent
shooting from the foul line than his 39.7 percent efficiency from the field.
Mike Green adds 13.4 ppg to the mix, and Brandon Crone checks in with 10.6
ppg. Graves was on fire in the victory over UW-Green Bay, as he nailed 5-
of-8 three-pointers and all nine foul shots en route to 28 points. The
Bulldogs connected on 52.5 percent of their field goal attempts in the clash
and missed only one of their 25 free throws.
Four players scored in double figures for Loyola in the win over IPFW.
Majak Kou racked up 17 points and rebounds to pace the Ramblers, and
Leon Young pitched in 16 points. J.R. Blount tallied 15 points, and Blake
Schilb rounded out the group with 13 points. Loyola earned a 41-29
rebounding advantage in that contest and limited IPFW to 39.1 percent
shooting from the floor. Schilb is the team's top offensive performer, as he
is netting 15.1 ppg. Blount checks in with 14.1 ppg, and Kou is close behind
with 13.3 ppg. Young adds 10.4 ppg to the lineup, and he is pulling down 6.4
rpg as well.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
New York Giants betting lines
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Dallas Cowboys betting lines
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
Oakland Raiders betting lines
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
