Buckeyes host Hawkeyes in Big Ten actionNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 13th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will attempt to complete the regular-season sweep of the Iowa Hawkeyes when the two meet in Columbus today for a Big Ten Conference clash. Iowa is in desperate need of a victory, as it has suffered three consecutive defeats to fall to 8-15 overall and 2-8 in league play. The Hawkeyes were most recently in action on Wednesday when they struggled at the offensive end in a 57-49 loss to Illinois. Iowa has played six true road games so far this season, and the team has lost five of those tilts. Ohio State has been perfect at home this season, as it has won all 14 of the games it has played in Columbus. The Buckeyes are 17-6 overall, including 7-3 in Big Ten action, and they have won their last three outings. On Wednesday, Ohio State defeated Penn State in a 75-62 final. Iowa owns a 75-71 series lead over Ohio State, but the Buckeyes edged the Hawkeyes by a score of 65-57 final on January 27th. The Hawkeyes have been held to fewer than 50 points in back-to-back affairs, and a lack of offensive production has plagued the team all season. Through 23 games, Iowa is scoring a mere 61.2 ppg on 41.4 percent shooting from the floor. Defensively, the club is permitting 64.8 ppg to foes. Matt Gatens is scoring 12.1 ppg on 36.7 percent shooting from the field, so his team-leading output would be better if not for a lack of efficiency. Anthony Tucker is the only double-digit scorer in the fold for the Hawkeyes, as he is netting 11.9 ppg. In the loss to Illinois last time out, Iowa connected on only 29.6 percent of its field goal attempts. Evan Turner is scoring 18.9 ppg on 55.9 percent shooting from the floor this season to pace Ohio State. More than just a scorer, Turner is pulling down 9.5 rpg to go along with 97 assists. William Buford provides 14.2 ppg for the Buckeyes, while both David Lighty and Jon Diebler add 12.9 ppg. The team is generating 74.9 ppg on 50 percent shooting from the floor, while opponents are being limited to 61.0 ppg on 41 percent field goal efficiency. Against Penn State last time out, Ohio State shot 50 percent from the field and earned an 18-12 edge in points from the foul line. Turner posted 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Buckeyes, while Buford added 19 points and five assists.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East. Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around. The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
