Grizzlies ready to go on vacation
Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Memphis owns the worst record in the NBA and is headed towards the lottery. The Grizzlies are a dismal 16-48 and are 14 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies three-year postseason run is definitely coming to an end. They were 0-12 during their three playoff appearances and will be looking to secure the top pick in the lottery for the 2007 NBA Draft.
The New Jersey Nets try to put the brakes on a five-game losing streak when they visit the Grizzlies on Monday at the FedExForum. It is the second and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On December 11th, Carter posted 37 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals while hitting a franchise-record nine three-pointers as the Nets matched a team record for three-pointers made in a game with 15 in their 105-92 victory over the Grizzlies at Continental Airlines Arena.
New Jersey has lost four straight and six of its last seven at the Grizzlies. The Nets have won two in a row in the series.
Memphis attempts to win back-to-back games once again for the first time this season. Pau Gasol poured in 31 points on a 13-of-20 from the floor and pulled down 15 rebounds as the Grizzlies knocked off Charlotte, 115-107, at Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
Hakim Warrick scored 18 points and Mike Miller netted 17 for the Grizzlies, who snapped a six-game losing skid. Rookie Rudy Gay posted 16 points and 10 boards in the win for Memphis, which finished a sizzling 56 percent shooting from the floor.
The Grizzlies open a five-game homestand against New Jersey. They are 11-20 at home this season. Memphis will also host Cleveland, Chicago, the Hornets and Lakers on the current stand.
Gasol leads the Grizzlies in scoring (20.7 ppg) and rebounding (9.5 rpg). He has scored in double-digits in 40 of 41 games this season and has collected 21 double-doubles this season.
Memphis has scored over 100 points in nine of its last 12 contests. The Grizzlies are scheduled to play 10 of its final 18 games this season at home.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
