Top-ranked Gators hit the SEC road
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
01/27/2007 -
Auburn, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-ranked Florida Gators continue their
feverish run through the SEC, as they travel to Alabama this weekend to
battle the Auburn Tigers from the Beard-Eaves Coliseum.
This is the third straight SEC West foe for Florida, which moved to 5-0
in league play with this week's 70-67 win over Mississippi State. Since a
loss to Florida State on December 3rd, the Gators have strung together 11
straight victories to move to 18-2 overall.
The Tigers are facing their seventh top-10 team this season and their
second ranked opponent in a row, after routing 12th-ranked Alabama this
week, 81-57. The victory evened Auburn's league mark at 3-3 and pushed
the team to 13-8 overall.
Auburn leads the all-time series with Florida, 86-65, but the Gators have
closed the gap a bit with seven straight wins over the Tigers coming into this
matchup.
Florida struggled to get a three-point win over Mississippi State this week,
as the team shot just .417 from the floor and turned the ball over 15 times.
Corey Brewer led the team to victory with a game-high 20 points. Florida
trailed at the break by four points, but went on an early run in the second
stanza to regain the momentum and earn the win. Taurean Green and Joakim Noah
added 11 and 10 points, respectively, while Al Horford just missed a double-
double with nine points and 14 rebounds. The Gators have been a much more
potent offensive squad on the season, averaging 82.3 ppg, while leading the
nation in field-goal percentage (.542). All five starters are averaging double
digits, led by Green's 13.5 ppg. Brewer and Noah follow at 12.8 ppg each, with
Horford (11.8 ppg) and Lee Humphrey (10.4 ppg) getting into the act as well.
Noah and Horford provide the muscle on the glass, combining for just over 17
rebounds per game.
The Tigers are a decent offensive team as well, averaging 73.3 ppg, on a
steady .452 shooting. The team also boasts of five double-digit averages,
proof of serious scoring depth. Quan Prowell and Rasheem Barrett lead the way
with 12.4 ppg each. They are followed closely by Frank Tolbert (12.2 ppg),
Korvotney Barber (12.0 ppg) and Josh Dollard (11.6 ppg). Dollard leads the
team on the boards at 7.3 rpg, but gets plenty of help from Prowell (7.0 rpg)
and Barber (6.3 rpg). Auburn dispensed of Alabama this week thanks to a
crushing 25-7 run to open up the second half. The victory halted a seven-game
win streak for Alabama in the series, as four Tigers finished in double
figures. Barber led the way with 18 points, Tolbert came off the bench to
tally 17, followed by Dollard, who had 16. Prowell notched a double-double
with 14 points and 10 rebounds, as Auburn shot .576 from the floor in the
game, including a ridiculous .679 in the second half (19-of-28).

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
