Bobcats visit lowly NetsBasketball Betting Lines04/12/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The playoff-bound Charlotte Bobcats can still move up in the Eastern Conference standings and will pay a visit to the New Jersey Nets tonight at the IZOD Center. Charlotte is currently seventh in the conference, just two games behind Milwaukee and Miami for the fifth seed, and has won eight of its last 11 games. In a 99-95 home victory versus Detroit on Saturday, D.J. Augustin sank the go-ahead jumper in the final two minutes and Larry Hughes ended with 18 points for the Bobcats, who can finish no worse than seventh in the East and no better than sixth. "We've had a lot of games like this that we haven't been able to finish out," Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. "Fortunately, we got some stops." Augustin had 13 points, while both Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace scored 14 points in the win. In injury news for Charlotte, which will close out the season on Wednesday versus Chicago, guard Raymond Felton (flu) and forward Tyrus Thomas (thumb) are questionable for tonight. New Jersey has lost three of four games and will host Charlotte tonight before visiting Miami in the season finale on Wednesday. In a 115-102 loss at Indiana on Saturday, Brook Lopez scored a team-high 20 points and Terrence Williams, coming of a triple-double in a win over Chicago on Friday, finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Over the last five games, Williams is averaging 21.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 9.0 apg. Courtney Lee also had 15 points and Kris Humphries added 13 for the Nets, who will put their 8-32 home record to the test this evening. "We wore out a little bit," Nets head coach Kiki Vandeweghe said. "The extra effort just wasn't there in the second half." New Jersey leads the 2009-10 series with Charlotte by a 2-1 count and has won nine of the last 12 matchups between the clubs. The Bobcats have dropped two in a row and seven of the 10 meetings at the Meadowlands.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe 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.
