Huskies and Hoyas square off Big East actionNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/01/2012 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Connecticut Huskies have made their way to the nation's capital for tonight's Big East Conference showdown with the 14th-ranked Georgetown Hoyas. UConn is hoping to put the brakes on a three-game slide as the team fell to 14-6 overall and an even 4-4 in conference after suffering a 50-48 setback at home to Notre Dame on Sunday. It was team's lowest scoring output of the campaign, and it will try to even its record in true road games this season to 3-3 with a win tonight. Georgetown is coming off a loss of its own, as the team stumbled at Pittsburgh last Saturday in a 72-60 final. Still, the Hoyas are 16-4 on the year, and they have won six of their first nine league tilts. GU is 10-1 at home this season, which includes a 3-1 mark against Big East foes. Georgetown owns a 33-27 advantage in all-time series with UConn, but the Huskies won both meetings last season, including a 79-62 victory in the second round of the 2011 Big East Conference Tournament. Jeremy Lamb scored 16 points and Andre Drummond logged a double-double consisting of 15 points and 11 rebounds, but those efforts went for naught as Connecticut lost a defensive battle to visiting Notre Dame by a scant two points. The Huskies shot 40.4 percent from the field, while the Fighting Irish were just 36.2 percent accurate. However, UND nailed seven three-pointers to UConn's three, and the Irish scored 26 points in the paint compared to a mere 10 for the home team. Lamb (17.9 ppg) continues to pace the Huskies in scoring thanks to his ultra-efficient 50.2 percent shooting effort, and he has a club- best 44 three-pointers as well. Shabazz Napier (14.3 ppg, 6.1 apg) and Drummond (10.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg) round out the double-digit scorers for coach Jim Calhoun's club, which puts up 69.8 ppg in hitting 47.0 percent of its total shots, while limiting the opposition to 62.2 ppg on 36.9 percent field goal accuracy. The Huskies are +5.5 in rebounding margin, but suffer from a turnover differential of -2.4. Georgetown's starting five accounted for only 35 points in the recent loss to Pittsburgh, as the team shot 42.1 percent from the field, despite missing 12 of its 17 three-point attempts. Otto Porter came off the bench to score a club-best 14 points, while Hollis Thompson and Henry Sims chipped in with 11 and 10 points, respectively. No Hoya grabbed more than six rebounds (Porter), as they were out-muscled on the glass to the tune of a 35-23 deficit. Pitt went a dismal 3-of-13 from beyond the arc, but shot an impressive 52.1 percent from the field overall, and the Panthers claimed a 19-7 edge in points from the foul line and cruised to the double-digit victory despite committing 17 turnovers. After 20 games, Jason Clark (15.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg) leads the club in scoring on the strength of his 49.5 percent shooting effort, while Thompson (13.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg) and Sims (11.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg) have been productive contributors as well for coach John Thompson III's team, which averages 71.4 ppg on 47.1 percent field goal accuracy, which includes a 36.1 percent effort from long range, while defensively holding the opposition to 60.0 ppg on typical shooting outputs of 39.9 percent overall and 29.0 percent from beyond the arc.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview“You play to win the game!” Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy. The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line. The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2. Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway? Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year. Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years. Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant. Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success. The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones. Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings. Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record. This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots. First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!” The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
