Bulls welcome slumping Magic
Basketball Betting Lines
02/26/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orlando Magic are slipping out of the playoff picture,
and will aim to snap a back-breaking four-game losing streak this evening when
they open a tough four-game road swing against the Chicago Bulls at the United
Center.
Orlando fell to the Houston Rockets on Sunday, 97-93, and are now tied with
New Jersey for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Grant Hill ended with 21 points and seven rebounds for the Magic, who come
into tonight's game having lost six in a row on the road. Dwight Howard was a
force for Orlando with 18 points and 16 rebounds, but Orlando fell for the
eighth time in 10 contests.
After tonight, the Magic will see tough road tilts against Denver, San Antonio
and Dallas.
The Magic are just 9-18 as the visitor this season and have lost six of their
last eight against the Bulls. Orlando did capture the lone meeting between the
clubs this season on November 1.
The Magic, though, have dropped five of their last eight in Chicago.
Ben Wallace made his return to Detroit on Sunday as a member of the Bulls, but
Chicago was undone by Chris Webber's tip-in with 2.2 ticks left and lost 95-93
to the Pistons at The Palace.
Webber got a hold of the ball and scored the deciding basket after Chauncey
Billups put up a jumper. With one last chance for the win, Ben Gordon missed a
three-pointer from the left wing to end the game.
Gordon netted 21 points and P.J. Brown had 19 points with 12 boards for the
Bulls, who had a three-game winning streak halted. Luol Deng scored 18 points
and grabbed eight boards, while Chris Duhon donated 12 points in defeat.
Wallace, meanwhile, was booed each time he touched the ball and finished with
six points and eight boards.
Detroit beings a three-game homestand tonight that will also see visits from
Golden State and New Orleans/Oklahoma City. The club is an Eastern Conference-
best 22-7 at home this year and have won five of their last six as the host.
The Pistons lead the Central Division by 4 1/2 games over Cleveland.

NFL Sports Betting
NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North.
Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Betting
