Falcons soar into Sin City

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - No longer the only member of the Mountain West Conference among the nationally-ranked, the Air Force Falcons put their three-game win streak on the line tonight as they visit the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Not only are the 14th-ranked Falcons not the only ranked program in the conference this week, the team isn't even at the top of the MWC standings, a position occupied by 21st-ranked BYU at the moment. On Saturday, the academy posted a 67-58 win at Clune Arena to extend the nation's longest home win streak to 30 games, one better than those aforementioned Cougars who don't play their next home game until tomorrow night versus Colorado State.

As for the Rebels, who had to clear out of Sin City when the NBA invaded with their annual All-Star game over the weekend, they took care of business in Salt Lake City on Saturday with a 70-57 decision over Utah. The win was the third in the last four games for UNLV, which is currently third in the conference with a record of 9-4.

Air Force won the first meeting between these two teams earlier this season, taking a 56-50 decision at home. However, the Rebels still own a comfortable margin in the all-time series, logging a 17-7 record versus the Falcons.

Although he was trying to fight through a nagging ankle injury, Dan Nwaelele still came to play as he and the rest of the Falcons dismissed the Rams over the weekend. Nwaelele finished with a team-high 18 points, thanks to 5-of-10 shooting beyond the arc, followed by Matt McCraw with 15 and four assists. Jacob Burtschi dropped in 10 points, as did Tim Anderson with the duo combining for 11 rebounds and seven of the team's eight steals on the afternoon. Nwaelele, who is shooting a sizzling 50 percent from three- point range and 56.4 percent from the floor overall this year, is tops on the scoring list for the Falcons with his 14.9 ppg, followed by Burtschi with 13.5 ppg and a team-high 5.7 rpg. Entering play this week, the Falcons had the seventh-best scoring margin in Division I at +15.7 ppg, basically because the defense is up to its old tricks again. Having led the nation in scoring defense for several years, the Falcons know better than anyone how to get the job done and they are doing it again with just 54.7 ppg allowed, second only to Princeton in all of college basketball at the moment. Offensively, the team is ranked fourth in the country in field goals shooting at 50.6 percent and is fifth nationally from behind the three-point line at 42.4 percent.

Operating with four guards, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Wink Adams ended up leading the Rebels in both scoring and rebounding in the win over Utah over the weekend, putting up 17 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. The only other player to score in double figures for the Rebels was Kevin Kruger who connected on 3-of-5 shots beyond the arc to finish with 11 points, to go along with his team-high four assists. In addition to shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 11-of-17 beyond the arc, the most impressive aspect of the victory was probably that the team had a mere four turnovers. Leading scorer Wendell White, who is averaging 15.4 ppg this season on 51.9 percent shooting from the field, made just one of his 12 shots. Adams is good for 14.8 ppg and Kruger another 12.3 ppg and a team- high 98 assists, that coming from someone who has missed six of the team's 28 games. UNLV enters the week ranked third in the conference in scoring at 75.1 ppg.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
