Ducks and Huskies collide in Seattle
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/25/2007 -
Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The seventh-ranked Oregon Ducks are a
legitimate threat to reach the Final Four, and they will take on a
disappointing group of Washington Huskies tonight in a Pac-10 tilt.
Oregon owns an 18-1 record, and a victory tonight would give the
program its best start ever. The Ducks have won five straight decisions
since their only loss of the season, a two-point setback to USC. On
Saturday, they put forth an outstanding offensive effort in a 92-84
triumph over California.
While Oregon is enjoying perhaps its best season ever, Washington has been
one of the nation's most disappointing teams. Sure, the club's 11-7
record is decent, but the Huskies are just 1-6 against Pac-10
opponents. Saturday's loss was particularly embarrassing, as the
Huskies dropped a 75-47 decision to rival Washington State to stretch
their current losing skid to three games.
Washington holds a commanding 178-100 lead in the all-time series with Oregon,
including a 105-31 edge in Seattle.
There is no shortage of options at the offensive end for Oregon, as
five players are averaging double figures in scoring. The Ducks are posting
80.3 ppg through 19 outings while limiting foes to 64.8 ppg. Aaron Brooks
continues to pace Oregon with 18.4 ppg, and he has dished out 85
assists. Bryce Taylor checks in with 16.0 ppg on 52.6 percent shooting
from the floor, and Malik Hairston adds 13.3 ppg. Tajuan Porter is
contributing 13.0 ppg, and Maarty Leunen rounds out a talented group with
11.7 ppg and 9.8 rpg. In the hard-fought win over California on Saturday,
all five players mentioned tallied at least 12 points, and Brooks led the
way once again with 22 points. Oregon connected on 56.6 percent of its
field goal attempts, including a 12-of-22 showing from three-point range,
and the team also knocked down 20-of-22 free throws. The Ducks finished with
22 assists against a mere nine turnovers.
Overall, Washington is scoring 81.4 ppg, but the team has not been nearly
that productive in most of its league contests. Spencer Hawes is the top
offensive performer for the Huskies, as he is netting 15.2 ppg on 55.6
percent shooting from the floor. Jon Brockman adds 13.2 ppg and 9.7 rpg, and
he is shooting well over 50 percent from the field as well. Quincy
Pondexter checks in with 13.1 ppg, and Justin Dentmon rounds out a foursome
of double-digit performers with 10.4 ppg. In the 28-point loss to
Washington State, the Huskies shot a lowly 28.3 percent from the field and
permitted the Cougars to make good on 53.6 percent of their attempts from
the floor. Pondexter managed 16 points in the setback, and Brockman
contributed 13 points.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.
As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.
Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds
The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).
But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.
Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.
Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1
Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2
New York Giants - 9 - 2
Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).
Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.
So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.
And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.
They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.
But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.
Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.
Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.
Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.
Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?
Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.
In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.
Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.
Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.
The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.
The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
