Arenas leads Wizards over T'WolvesBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2007 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gilbert Arenas poured in 38 points, and Washington never trailed in a 112-100 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Arenas was a miserable 1-of-8 from three-point range, but made up for the shortcoming by hitting on 11-of-16 inside the arc to go along with a 13-for-15 performance from the foul line. DeShawn Stevenson came up with a season-best 23 points for the Southeast Division-leading Wizards, who have won back-to-back contests following a two- game skid. Washington beat Minnesota for just the third time in the last 11 meetings. Caron Butler contributed 15 points and Andray Blatche tied a career-high with 12 rebounds for Washington. Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 13 rebounds for Minnesota, which has dropped six of its last nine contests. Ricky Davis ended with 24 points and Mike James scored 20 for the Timberwolves. It was a solid win for the Wizards in the first game after the All-Star break, even though the T'Wolves made a big run in the third to get close and were within six points late in the fourth. Minnesota trailed 64-48 early in the third, but rallied and closed the gap to 72-68 following a Garnett turnaround jumper with 2:42 remaining in the quarter. However, Washington widened its margin to 83-74 going into the fourth after Darius Songaila drilled a jumper at the buzzer. Arenas then hit a three and a jumper to start the fourth, but Minnesota managed to rally. A pair of free throws by James capped a 6-1 spurt, drawing Minnesota within 104-98 with 1:47 remaining. Antonio Daniels responded with a pair of free throws, and after a turnover and a missed shot by Davis, Blatche put the finishing touches on the victory with a layup inside of a minute left. Mark Blount and Randy Foye each had 10 points for Minnesota. Arenas' fadeaway shot capped six consecutive Washington points early for a 10-4 margin and Brendan Haywood's jump hook extended the lead to 19-10. It was 31-19 after 12 minutes and 57-44 a the half. Game Notes Minnesota has lost eight of its last 11 at Washington...The home team has won six straight meetings...This was the first of two meeting this season with another contest set for Minneapolis Sunday afternoon...Washington center Etan Thomas returned from a two-game suspension and had eight points and six boards...The Wizards went 3-of-16 from three-point range...Arenas is 8-for-51 on three-point tries this month.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit CardsMichael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football. As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL. The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago. Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996). But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side. Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show. Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1 Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2 New York Giants - 9 - 2 Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1). Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship. So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume. And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top. They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy. Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday. But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division. Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS. Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS. Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162. Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense? Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS. In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS. Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division. Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do. The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20. The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
