08/22/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stony Brook football coach Ray Priore says his team's season-ending, 36-33 win over Big South Conference power Liberty helped his program in a lot of different ways.

"Probably the most important way is the belief that you win that game," he says.

The upset was sweet for Stony Brook as well as all of Liberty's rivals in the Big South, as it ended the Flames' 16-game conference winning streak, including perfect runs through the 2007 and '08 seasons.

Liberty is strong again and a prohibitive favorite in the conference's preseason poll. But after Stony Brook opened that door last season, other Big South teams believe they can close in on the Flames, who were 8-3 overall last season and 26-8 over the last three seasons.

The Big South has been shut out of a FCS playoff bid since coach David Bennett took Coastal Carolina there in 2006. This season, the Big South champion will be guaranteed an automatic bid for the first time in the expanded, 20-team field.

"In terms of guaranteeing a spot, it is nice, but you have to know your vision," Bennett said. "Do you just want to make the playoffs or do you want to win? Again, if we can get to the place where we can host playoff games, that is our next step in this progression. That is the key to advancing and winning a national title."

"I hope that we are underselling ourselves right now and that the inevitability of this is that we will get more than one team in," Charleston Southern coach Jay Mills said. "I think it starts with getting this automatic bid, but, hopefully, if there are two teams who deserve to go, the credibility will be enough that they are rewarded for their efforts."

Liberty was a runaway winner in the Big South preseason - 11 of 13 first-place votes - just as their offense ran away from defenses last season. The Flames led the FCS in scoring offense with a 36.4-point average. They return the conference's preseason offensive player of the year, Mike Brown, who split time at quarterback (nine rushing touchdowns) and wide receiver (60 receptions) last season and now is the full-time quarterback. In addition, place-kicker Matt Bevins was named a first-team All-America by The Sportsbook Betting Lines as a sophomore last season.

"The key to winning the Big South title, as in most leagues, is depth at key positions and experience," Liberty coach Danny Rocco said. "We had a younger team last year that was able to carry on a now growing tradition here at Liberty and I'm excited to see what they can do this year. Most of our skill- position players are back this year and we are coming off the best spring workouts I've experienced since I've been at Liberty."

Following is a team-by-team breakdown of the 2010 Big South race, with teams ranked according to The Sportsbook Betting Lines's predicted order of finish. Last year's records are in parentheses.

1. Liberty 2. Stony Brook 3. Charleston Southern 4. Gardner-Webb 5. Coastal Carolina 6. Presbyterian 7. VMI

OFFENSIVE STAR: QB Mike Brown, Jr. (48 of 68 for 427 yards and 4 TDs; 77 carries, 442 yards, 9 TDs)

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: TB Korrey Davis, So. (Massachusetts transfer) TB SirChauncey Holloway, So. (54 carries, 285 yards, 7 TDs) WR Chris Summers, Jr. (46 receptions, 603 yards, 4 TDs) WR B.J. Hayes, Jr. (15 receptions, 119 yards) RG Alex Stadler, Sr. LT Justin Vargas, Sr. RT Soeren Wendland, Sr. DE Daryl Robertson, Sr. (37 TT, 5.5 TFL) DE Terry Adams, Sr. (41 TT, 7 TFL) DE Patrick Bannon, Sr. (16 TT, 2 sacks) MLB Doncel Bolt, Sr. (62 TT, 6 TFL) MLB Chad Brown, Sr. (51 TT) LB Brent Vinson, So. (32 TT) LB Kyle O'Donnell, Sr. (32 TT) LB Donald Manns, Sr. (18 TT) LB Randy Spann, Fr. CB Kajuan Lee, Jr. (37 TT, 5 INTs) FS Larry Claiborne, Jr. (39 TT, 1 INT) SS Brandon Robinson, Jr. (22 TT, 1 INT) PK Matt Bevins, Jr. (22 of 26 FG, 50 long) P Mike Larsson, Jr. (36.7-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: The new FCS playoff berth that goes to the Big South champion will motivate the experienced Flames all season, who have craved at-large bids in recent seasons. Last year, they scored a record 271 points in six Big South games. Brown will rev up the offense again, although he is better as a runner and pass receiver than as a passer. Summers is the offense's other playmaker, so Brown will look to get the ball to him. The return of Holloway and addition of Davis from UMass will take some pressure off Brown as well. The Flames probably can't count on a plus-21 turnover ratio again, so some games could be closer. But the defense appears improved with Chapman clogging the middle, Bolt and Brown back as veteran linebackers and Lee coming off a big season with five interceptions. Bevins is 34-of-42 (80.5 percent) on field goals through two seasons. The Flames' only difficult road game in the Big South is a Nov. 13 trip to Coastal Carolina. They get Stony Brook at home on Nov. 20.

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB Michael Coulter, Jr. (153 of 279 for 15 TDs and 10 INTs) RB Brock Jackolski, Jr. (Hofstra transfer) RB Miguel Maysonet, So. (Hofstra transfer) WR Donald Porter, Sr. (25 receptions, 476 yards, 5 TDs) WR/KR Matt Brevi, Jr. (26 receptions, 344 yards, 2 TDs; 20.6-yard KO return average) WR Michael Lepore, Sr. (16 receptions, 214 yards) WR Myles Campbell, R-Fr. C Paul Fenaroli, Sr. LG Brian Crew, Sr. LT Joe Faiella, Jr. RG Armand Poole, Sr. (Hofstra transfer) DT Ryan Haber, Jr. (39 TT, 1 FF, 1 FR) NT Michael Marino, So. (22 TT) DE Joseph Kirkpatrick, Sr. (22 TT, 5 TFL) OLB Julian Glenn, Sr. (6 TT; injured last season) MLB Stephen Schwicke, Sr. (68 TT, 7.5 TFL) MLB Craig Richardson, So. (12 TT) OLB Kenny Tuiloma, So. (31 TT) CB Al-Majid Hutchinson, Jr. (Rutgers transfer) FS Dominick Reyes, So. (49 TT) CB Sheldon Armstrong, So. (Utah State transfer) DB Taj Johnson, R-Fr. PK Wesley Skiffington, So. (15 of 17 FG, 43 long) P Drew Evangelista, So. (36.7-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: The Seawolves are hoping that this year's regular-season finale against Liberty could be worth the Big South's new automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. To set up a possible title game on Nov. 20 (like last season), the Seawolves have to overcome the loss of a conference-high 14 starters. Priore has bolstered his roster with transfers, and two of them, Jackolski and Maysonet, could spell their two-time All-Big South first-team running back, Gowins. The junior averaged 9.4 yards per carry as a freshman before being slowed by injuries last season. Coulter, whose 15 touchdown passes led the conference, tends to be overlooked. He engineered game-winning drives in the final three minutes of three games last season. The speed of the defense has improved in recent seasons, but the Seawolves have to overcome the loss of linebacker Tyler Santucci, the 2009 Big South Defensive Player of the Year. Schwicke is the new leader at linebacker. Rutgers transfer Hutchinson will combine with West to form a dynamite set of safeties. It's hard to argue with Skiffington's 15-of-17 field-goal accuracy as a freshman.

COACH: Jay Mills (40-38 in seven seasons at Charleston Southern; 43-59 in 10 seasons overall)

OFFENSIVE STAR: WR/KR Gerald Stevenson, Sr. (55 receptions, 724 yards, 3 TDs; 52 carries, 364 yards, 3 TDs; 19.2-yard KO return average)

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB A.J. Toscano, Sr. (179 of 308 for 2,092 yards, 12 TDs and 12 INTs; 82 carries, 325 yards, 4 TDs) QB Richard Mounce, So. (Clemson transfer) RB DeMarcus Moon, Sr. (67 carries, 322 yards, 1 TD) RB Savon Seward, Fr. WR Kwame Krakue, Sr. (40 receptions, 546 yards, 3 TDs) WR Estevan Cintron, Fr. C Nick Kemper, So. LT Levi McFatter, Jr. LG Jordan Lancaster, Sr. RG B.J. Baker, So. RT James Nicholson, So. DT Joel Walton, Sr. (22 TT, 6 sacks) NT Matt Woods, Jr. (27 TT, 2.5 sacks) DE David Jackson, Sr. (42 TT, 2 PBU, 2 PD) LB Fred Godfrey, Sr. (67 TT, 2 PBU, 3 PD) LB Chris Patrick, Sr. (64 TT, 10 TFL, 5 sacks) CB Jacques Bazile, Sr. (50 TT, 4 PBU, 5 PD) CB Kenny Johnson, So. (9 TT) PK John Paglia, Sr. (16 of 22 FG, 51 long) P Andy Brown, Sr. (35.5-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: By improving the early-season turnover woes, the Buccaneers won their final four games last season, scoring at least 30 points in each outing. They hope to continue the momentum this season and play their first three games at home before their, ahem, business trip to the University of Hawaii. The conference schedule is difficult because the Bucs travel to Liberty, Stony Brook and Coastal Carolina. Stevenson is one of the Big South's top offensive players and Toscano gets him the ball. Walton and Kuzdale are the standouts on defense, but the depth is what fuels that side of the ball. The Bucs have a good chance at earning their third straight winning season.

COACH: Steve Patton (83-58 in 13 seasons at Gardner-Webb; 113-82-1 in 18 overall seasons)

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB John Rock, So. (8 of 12 for 133 yards and 2 TDs) RB Patrick Hall, Sr. (108 carries, 599 yards, 12 TDs) RB Kenny Little, So. (59 carries, 294 yards, 2 TDs) WR Marquis Sanders, Jr. (36 receptions, 459 yards, 2 TDs) WR/KR Tyson Petty, Sr. (21 receptions, 194 yards, 1 TD; 19.1-yard KO return) TE Josh Miller, Jr. (15 receptions, 137 yards) C C.J. Bryant, Sr. LG Corey O'Daniel, Sr. LT Jamie Dunaway, So. OL Tyler Hough-Jenkins, Fr. DE Jordan Woods, Jr. (30 TT, 3 sacks, 6 QBH) NG Nelson Rushing, Sr. (18 TT, 3 TFL) DT Terry Hollingshed, Fr. LB Jeffrey Williams, Sr. (47 TT, 5 TFL, 4 QBH) LB Oluwadamilola Teniola, Sr. (16 TT) LB Devon Johnson, Jr. (30 TT) CB Cedric McGowan, Sr. (ineligible last season) CB Bryce Nixon, Sr. (53 TT, 2 INTs, 4 PBU) SS Keron Phelps, Jr. (25 TT) FS Lyndrez Leslie, Jr. (21 TT) DB Chris James, Jr. (28 TT, 2 INTs) CB Keon Williams, Fr. PK Ryan Gates, So. (13 of 16 FG, 44 long) P Graham Purvis, Jr. (37-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: The Bulldogs have finished with either five or six wins for six straight seasons. They appear to be headed there again, although their veteran defense gives them an opportunity for a bigger season. Patterson is the Big South Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and fellow linebacker Williams was a 2008 All-America who was slowed by injury last season. The Bulldogs also get back McGowan, who also earned all-conference honors in 2008. The offense lost a solid QB in Stan Doolittle, though Rock has a strong arm. If he wins the starting job, he will have a go-to receiver in Perry, who led the Big South in both receptions and receiving yards as a redshirt sophomore. Add in Sanders and the receiving game is dangerous. The left side of the offensive line (Dunaway and O'Daniel) is particularly strong as well.

COACH: David Bennett (50-29 in seven seasons at Coastal Carolina; 113-46 in 14 seasons overall)

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB Zach MacDowall, Sr. (126 of 229 for 1,664 yards, 9 TDs and 11 INTs; 77 carries, 163 yards, 3 TDs) QB Aramis Hillary, So. (South Carolina transfer) RB Eric O'Neal, Sr. (89 carries, 377 yards, 2 TDs; 17 receptions, 101 yards) RB Jeremy Height, So. (59 carries, 225 yards) LT Tim Franklin, Jr. LG Seth Small, Sr. RT Bryan Brooks, Jr. RG Kenneth Page, So. (Clemson transfer) OT Jamey Cheatwood, R-Fr. WR Brandon Whitley, Sr. (31 receptions, 483 yards, 4 TDs) WR Marquel Willis, Jr. (14 receptions, 145 yards) WR Adrian Sullivan, So. (8 receptions, 120 yards, 1 TD) NT Robert Balkunas, Sr. (33 TT, 3.5 TFL) NT Dexter Holman, Jr. DT Chad McField, Jr. (25 TT) DT Johnny Hartsfield, So. (Hofstra transfer) DE Quinton Davis, So. (33 TT, 7 TFL, 3 sacks) LB Chris Walls, Sr. (43 TT, 2.5 sacks) LB Desmond Stewart, Jr. (60 TT, 4.5 TFL, 1 INT) LB E.J. Brown, Sr. (58 TT, 3 sacks, 2 INTs) S Marcus Lott, Jr. (41 TT, 2 INTs, 5 PBU) S Dominique Davenport, Sr. (56 TT, 3 INTs) PK Justin Durham, Sr. (13 of 19 FG, 42 long) P Ben Erdman, Sr. (33.1-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: The quarterback position will get interesting if MacDowall can't fend off Hillary, the South Carolina transfer, during preseason camp. MacDowall started eight games last season and threw more interceptions than touchdowns. The offensive line suffered some important losses, so it's important for the skill-position players to raise their play. Duran is the Big South's top tight end. After being inconsistent last season, the defense should be improved. The linebackers are particularly active and Norman is one of the better cornerbacks in the FCS. Bennett has done an excellent job at Coastal Carolina, including getting the Chanticleers to the 2006 FCS playoffs. He has put together a tough non-conference schedule to get his team ready for Big South play.

OFFENSIVE STAR: RB Trandon Dendy, Sr. (133 carries, 554 yards, 5 TDs; 18 receptions, 142 yards, 1 TD)

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB Brandon Miley, Jr. (151 of 276 for 1,736 yards, 11 TDs and 16 INTs) RB Lance Byrd, So. (127 carries, 700 yards, 4 TDs; 22 receptions, 158 yards) FB Shawn Armstrong, So. WR Patrick McKoy, Jr. (47 receptions, 615 yards, 4 TDs) WR Anderico Bailey, So.(27 receptions, 207 yards) WR Derek Frost, So. (16 receptions, 128 yards) TE Robert Bumgarner, Sr. (4 receptions, 38 yards, 1 TD) TE Joel Gilkey, Fr. C Jared Tavernier, Sr. LT Tyler Phillips, R-Fr. LG Grayson Sumner, Sr. RT Max Travis, Jr. DE Brian Leonardi, Sr. (51 TT, 8 TFL, 4 QBH) DE Derren Evans, Jr. (34 TT, 7 TFL, 4 sacks, 2 PBU) DE Keyadd Miller, R-Fr. DT Xavier Boatwright, So. (10 TT) DT Brian Davis, Jr. (26 TT, 2 PBU, 2 blocked kicks) LB L.J. Perry, Fr. Rover J.J. Russell, So. FS Justin Bethel, Jr. (79 TT, 4.5 TFL, 3 PBU, 3 blocked kicks) CB Damon Lawrence, Jr. (37 TT, 2 INTs) PK Aaron Mayes, So. 6 of 12 FG) P Patrick Morgano, So. (37.1-yard punt average) KR Tyler Robbins, Sr. (20.7-yard KO return)

OUTLOOK: After a rough first season under Nichols, the Blue Hose will try to stop a 14-game losing streak that is the longest in the FCS. They made strides by the end of last season, losing 41-37 at Coastal Carolina and 21-14 to Gardner-Webb. Their offense should trouble many opponents. Dendy is the team's top rusher, and when he got hurt last season Byrd replaced him with a school- record 274-yard performance against Charleston Southern. Miley must cut down on his interceptions, but he will benefit from the return of McKoy, the team's leading receiver. The defense has a long way to go, but will be improved after playing a lot of young players last season. The Coastal Carolina game was the Blue Hose's only one in which it did not allow at least 29 points. Their games against North Greenville (Sept. 25) and VMI (Oct. 2) offer, dare anybody say, the chance for a winning streak.

OTHER KEY PLAYERS: QB Adam Morgan, R-Fr. RB T.J. Talley, Jr. (28 carries, 150 yards) RB Julian Bowers, Jr. WR Mario Scott, Sr. (14 receptions, 237 yards, 3 TDs) WR Bryan Barnson, Sr. (11 receptions, 183 yards) T Aaron Blue, Jr. T Rob Bailey, Jr. C Angelo Smith, Jr. G Bo Wren, Jr. G Phillip Pickens, So. DE Ben Brandt, Sr. (34 TT, 6.5 TFL) DE Damiso Alexander, Sr. (36 TT, 4.5 TFL, 3 PBU) LB A.J. Gross, Jr. (76 TT, 3.5 TFL) LB Eric Church, Jr. (55 TT, 3 FR) LB Trae Watkins, Jr. (39 TT) OLB Emilio Calvin, Jr. (66 TT, 9 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 PBU) OLB Kris Ware, Sr. (34 TT, 4 sacks, 2 PBU) CB Juan Thrasher, Jr. (62 TT, 4 PBU) CB Greg Walker, Jr. (34 TT, 5 PBU) FS Byron Allen, Jr. (93 TT, 1 FR) SS Josh Sneed, Jr. (29 TT) PK Jeff Sexton, So. (3 of 6 FG, 32 long) P Marc Ray, Sr. (38.9-yard punt average)

OUTLOOK: The Keydets defense surrendered 30.7 points per game last season, but will be much improved with a veteran unit (10 returning starters). Wine is a terrific interior lineman and Calvin (OLB) and Allen (FS) are outstanding in their units. The problem for the struggling program could come on offense, where QB Kyle Hughes and all the top runners departed from the FCS' top rushing offense (277 ypg). The Keydets are switching from a spread option to more of a pro-style attack and though the elusive Jones isn't a sure thing at QB, his experience gives him a lift over Morgan, a redshirt freshman. The Keydets haven't had a winning season since 1981.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com

In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.

Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.

Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.

Memphis vs. Ohio State

Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.

UCLA vs. Kansas

In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.
