Duke dominates Tulsa in second halfNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/25/2010 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The trio of Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler and Jon Scheyer combined for 50 points, as No. 5 Duke used a strong defensive presence to post a 70-52 win over Tulsa at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Brian Zoubek posted 10 points and 11 rebounds to back the triumvirate for the Blue Devils (24-4), who ran their current win streak to seven and non- conference home streak to 77 despite shooting a meager 34.9 percent from the floor. Smith scored 18 points, Singler 17 and Scheyer 15 in the win. Jerome Jordan paced the Golden Hurricane (19-9) with 12 points and eight rebounds. The club shot 32.8 percent overall, including a 1-for-10 showing from three-point range en route to a fourth straight loss. The Blue Devils shot a subpar 31.6 percent in the first half but still held a slim 34-30 lead at the break. Jordan's dunk and two Justin Hurtt free throws quickly tied it, but Duke scored the next 11 points, as Scheyer nailed a three following six straight from Smith for a 45-34 advantage at the 16-minute mark. Scheyer made another from distance two minutes later then forced a turnover that led to a Miles Plumlee bucket for a 15-point lead. An 8-0 Duke run shortly thereafter pushed the margin to 20, 60-40, just past the midway point, and the hosts cruised from there. Duke scored 10 straight points in the early going, jumping out to a 14-4 lead on Zoubek's layup 6 1/2 minutes in. That was the biggest margin of the opening half, as Tulsa inched back and tied it, 28-28, on a Bryson Pope jumper with a little over three minutes left in the stanza. Game Notes Duke improved to 16-0 at home this season...The Blue Devils get back to ACC play on Sunday at Virginia, while Tulsa visits East Carolina on Saturday...The Blue Devils committed just five turnovers, compared to 13 for Tulsa...Lance Thomas grabbed 10 rebounds for Duke...Hurtt and Steven Idlet scored 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the Golden Hurricane.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
