NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Princeton, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oregon State has been chosen to return to defend its title in the 16-team College Basketball Invitational, which starts Tuesday night.

Oregon State, with head coach Craig Robinson, the brother-in-law of U.S. President Barack Obama, will start the tournament with a home game against Boston University on Wednesday. The Beavers go into the event with a 14-17 record, including defeats in four of their last six games.

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to continue our season and play a first round game in front of our home crowd," Robinson said. "It's a great reward for our players to be selected to the tournament and I know Boston University will be a great challenge. We're looking forward to getting back to work on Monday and preparing for the first game."

This is the third year for the tournament, which features a single-elimination format until the best-of-three championship series. The Beavers topped Texas- El Paso in three games last year, and Tulsa did the same against Bradley in 2008.

The tournament gets started with a pair of games on Tuesday as Indiana State visits Saint Louis, and VCU plays on the road against George Washington. On Wednesday, Akron hosts Green Bay, Morehead State is home vs. Colorado State, Charleston visits Eastern Kentucky, IUPUI is at Hofstra, and Princeton hosts Duquesne.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
