Hawks down Raptors, but lose Smith

Basketball Betting Lines

11/07/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Bibby led a balanced attack with 19 points and the Atlanta Hawks stayed unbeaten on the young season with a 110-92 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Philips Arena.

Bibby scored all of his points, including five triples, in the first half while dishing out 12 assists and Joe Johnson collected 17 points, seven rebounds and six helpers for the Hawks, who take their 4-0 ledger to the road for the next four games. Atlanta is off to its best start since going 11-0 to open the 1997-98 campaign.

The Hawks had five players in double figures with Flip Murray (16), Maurice Evans (15) and Marvin Williams (14) each contributing to the win.

It wasn't all roses for the Hawks as forward Josh Smith left the game in the first quarter with a left ankle injury. Smith went up for a block on a jumper from Toronto's Jermaine O'Neal with 56.1 seconds left in the first and came down awkwardly. He visited the bench before heading to the locker room and did not return.

Chris Bosh led all scorers with 26 and grabbed eight boards while Jose Calderon posted a dozen assists and a pair of threes for the Raptors, who dropped their second straight after starting the year 3-0.

Atlanta never trailed in the contest and outscored Toronto 62-50 through the first two quarters. The Hawks held a 14-point advantage to open the final quarter and stretched that lead to 24 with a little over five minutes remaining before Toronto put together a late run to make the game respectable.

Game Notes

The Raptors kicked off a three-game road trip Friday and next visits Charlotte Sunday...Toronto went 2-1 against the Hawks last year and has won four of the past six matchups in this series...O'Neal had 17 points and three blocks for Toronto...Atlanta heads to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder Sunday.

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.
