Banks becomes DC at Illinois
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/18/2012 -
Champaign, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Illinois has named Tim Banks its new
defensive coordinator.
Banks spent the last five seasons as a co-defensive coordinator -- three at
Central Michigan and the last two at Cincinnati.
Under his guidance, the Bearcats' defense jumped from No. 39 in the nation in
rushing defense to No. 6. The unit also led the nation in tackles for loss,
and ranked second in sacks.
"Tim Banks is a great fit for the University of Illinois," said new Illinois
head coach Tim Beckman. "He led an outstanding defense at Central Michigan and
made a great improvement at Cincinnati this past season. Tim and I worked
together at Bowling Green and I consider him one of the brightest young
coaches in the nation. Tim will run a very aggressive defensive system that
will work very well with our personnel."
Beckman was defensive coordinator at Bowling Green in 1999-2000, when Banks
was an assistant at the school.

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.
