Basketball Betting Lines
08/31/2010 -
Izmir, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nicolas Batum scored 24 points to power
France to a 68-63 win over Canada at the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
Batum, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, made 8-of-14 shots and
grabbed seven rebounds. He was the only French player to reach double figures,
helping his team improve to 3-0 in Group D.
Canada fell to 0-3 in preliminary play. Levon Kendall scored 15 points for the
Canadians, while Kelly Olynyk added 13.
The game was tied at 28 at halftime and Canada opened a slim 48-46 edge after
three periods. The Canadians led by as many as six early in the fourth, but
France quickly tied it at 52-52 on a Batum bucket with just over seven minutes
remaining.
It remained close from there and two free throws from Jermaine Anderson pulled
Canada within 64-63 with 19 seconds left. Mickael Gelabale followed with a
pair from the stripe at the other end and Canada's Denham Brown had a shot
blocked before Batum secured the rebound and drilled two from the line in the
closing seconds for the final margin.
Earlier on Wednesday, Russia beat the Ivory Coast, 72-66, and Puerto Rico
topped China, 84-76, in Group C. The earlier Group D game saw New Zealand rout
Lebanon, 108-76.

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.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5
Steelers -4 @ Browns +4
Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6
Bears +6 @ Chargers -6
Lions +3 @ Raiders -3
Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5
Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4
