Bears and Pokes square off in Stillwater

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2010 - Stillwater, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of teams trying to improve their status in the Big 12 Conference meet in Stillwater today, as the 22nd-ranked Baylor Bears come calling on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Baylor recently notched its third straight 20-win season, a program first, by whipping Texas Tech on Tuesday night in an 88-70 final. The Bears are now 20-5 on the year and 7-4 in conference. The Bears have won three straight and six of their last seven, but they are 4-3 in true road games and have won only eight of their last 53 road conference tilts -- not exactly a confidence builder today.

Oklahoma State is just two games behind the Bears in terms of overall record (18-7), and just a game back in the Big 12 standings (6-5). The Cowboys have won their last two outings to bounce back from a three-game losing streak, and their most recent triumph was a 69-64 decision at Iowa State on Wednesday. OSU is a near-flawless 12-1 at home.

Oklahoma State owns a 48-16 lead in the all-time series with Baylor, but the Bears have won four of the last six meetings, including an 83-70 verdict in Waco back on January 16th.

Baylor boasts one of the top offensive performers in the Big 12, as junior guard LaceDarius Dunn is hitting nearly 41 percent of his three-point tries in averaging 19.1 ppg. Tweety Carter joins Dunn in the BU backcourt, and is netting 15.9 ppg while his 6.3 apg lead the conference. Ekpe Udoh is one of the few players in the nation currently averaging a double-double, checking in with 13.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. As a team, the Bears are shooting 48.8 percent from the floor, 38.4 percent from three-point range and 71.2 percent from the foul line in putting up 77.2 ppg. At the other end, foes are scoring just 64.1 ppg in converting a mere 37.5 percent of their total shots. Baylor owns a +8.0 edge on the boards, but is -1.7 in turnover margin. Dunn was once again on top of his game in the recent win over Texas Tech, going 9- of-13 from the floor in scoring 30 points, while Carter (12 points, 11 assists) and Udoh (13 points, 11 boards) both recorded double-doubles. Quincy Acy came off the bench to tally 10 points for the Bears, who connected on 54.1 percent of their field goal attempts while the Red Raiders turned the trick at 43.6 percent.

Obi Muonelo scored a season-high 31 points, helping Oklahoma State claim a five-point win at Iowa State on Wednesday night. James Anderson added 20 points for the Cowboys, who blew a 20-point lead but rallied to post their 18th win of the campaign. Muonelo, who scored 25 points in the second half, went 10-of-19 from the floor, including 6-of-13 from beyond the arc, and Anderson added four treys to help the Pokes go 12-of-30 from long range on the night. Overall, OSU shot 42.6 percent from the field, while holding ISU to 35.1 percent. Like Dunn for Baylor, Oklahoma State has its own superstar in Anderson, a 46.9 percent shooter who is averaging 22.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Muonelo is netting 13.4 ppg and adds 5.4 rpg to his stat line, while Keiton Page rounds out the unit's double-digit scorers with 10.4 ppg and his 62 assists narrowly lead the team. The Cowboys are giving up 67.1 ppg this season, but are scoring 74.9 ppg behind 44.7 percent field goal accuracy. A near three rpg advantage has also helped the cause.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
