NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/11/2012 - Princeton, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Harvard's unbeaten mark in the Ivy League came to a halt Saturday night against a team they haven't solved on the road in more than 23 years.

Ian Hummer scored 20 points, pulled down nine rebounds and had six assists, as Princeton knocked off the No. 25 Crimson, 70-62, for the Tigers' first win over a ranked team in the Jadwin Gym in more than 35 years.

T.J. Bray added 12 points for the Tigers (13-10, 4-3 Ivy), who recorded their first win over a ranked team since December 19, 1997 when the Tigers beat No. 23 Wake Forest at The Meadowlands. Princeton was ranked No. 19 in that same poll. Before Saturday, the last time Princeton topped an AP ranked squad in the Jadwin Gym was on January 3, 1977 when the Tigers beat No. 2 Notre Dame.

Princeton's 23-game home winning streak against Harvard is its longest against any Ivy League rival. Harvard last won in Jadwin on February 3, 1989.

Brendan Connolly tallied 11 points, while Denton Koon and Mack Darrow both scored 10 for the Tigers.

Keith Wright had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Harvard (21-3, 7-1), which had a nine-game winning streak snapped.

This was the first time the schools were meeting since Princeton nipped Harvard, 63-62, in a one-game playoff to win the Ivy League last year.

Corbin Miller's three-pointer boosted Harvard to a 25-18 lead with 3:22 left in the opening half, and the visitors held a 27-22 advantage at the intermission.

Bray gave Princeton the lead for good by sinking a jumper with 5:14 left for a 48-46 difference. His two free throws later capped a 7-0 spurt for a 59-49 margin with 2:05 to play.

Brandyn Curry, who scored 15, hit a layup to get Harvard within 61-57 with 53.3 seconds to go, but the Tigers made enough free throws down the stretch, and the fans stormed the court when the final buzzer sounded.

Game Notes

Kyle Casey had 12 points and eight rebounds for Harvard, which shot 44.6 percent...The Tigers made half of their 50 shots and held a 20-10 advantage in bench points...Princeton has lost only four times to Harvard since the 1999-2000 season.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
