Celtics kickoff homestand versus Raptors

Basketball Betting Lines

11/10/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics open a three-game homestand Monday when they welcome the talented Toronto Raptors to TD Banknorth Garden.

Tony Allen had 23 points off the bench, and Ray Allen added 17 points and eight rebounds, as Celtics defeated the Detroit Pistons, 88-76, in the first meeting between the two clubs since last season's Eastern Conference finals on Sunday.

Rajon Rondo chipped in with 13 points and Kevin Garnett had eight points and 12 boards for the Celtics, who have won four straight games and six of their first seven to start the season.

"Best defense of the year by far and it was all game," said Boston coach Doc Rivers after his team limited Detroit to just 34.7 percent from the field. "We had active hands, were physical, got up in their bodies and it was fun to see and very nice."

For Toronto, Olympian Chris Bosh scored 30 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Raptors used a strong fourth quarter to defeat the Bobcats, 89-79, and snap a two-game skid on Sunday in Charlotte.

The Raptors outscored the Bobcats, 26-12, in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Andrea Bargnani added 18 points on 3-of-5 shooting from long range, and Jose Calderon registered 13 points and seven assists. Toronto shot 49.3 percent from the field and outrebounded Charlotte, 44-36.

"We just had to get back to believing in ourselves," Bosh said. "That's what it was all about. I think we kinda stopped talking about being a good team a little bit and just going out there and playing. We stopped demanding perfection from ourselves."

Toronto will finish a three-game road trip in Boston tonight before returning home for two games against Philadelphia and Miami.

The Celtics, who are a perfect 3-0 in Boston this season, took three of the four meetings between the two clubs last season.

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.
