12/09/2006 - Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bragging rights in the Silver State are on the line tonight as the 20th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack welcome the UNLV Runnin' Rebels to the Lawlor Events Center in Reno.
The Pack have run out to a perfect 7-0 mark in the first month of the 2006-07 campaign and recently took out California by a score of 77-71 during the Pete Newell Challenge in San Jose on Sunday night.
As for the Rebels, they too have gotten off to a strong start as far as wins and losses are concerned, going six up and two down to this point. On Tuesday night, the team captured its second win of the season against the Hawaii Warriors, this time posting a narrow 61-58 victory out in Honolulu.
With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, the Rebels may hold a commanding 48-19 advantage over Nevada, but the last three meetings have been claimed by the Wolf Pack. The most recent of those conquests took place last season in Las Vegas with a 68-61 triumph.
Single free throws by Wink Adams and Curtis Terry in the waning moments proved to be the difference at the Stan Sheriff Center on Tuesday as the Rebels captured the three-point victory over Hawaii. Wendell White recorded a double- double for UNLV with his 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Adams and Gaston Essengue accounted for 15 and 12 points, respectively, to make up for a lackluster effort by Kevin Kruger who made just 1-of-7 shots from the floor to eventually finish with eight points and four of the team's seven assists. White, the scoring leader in half the team's games thus far, is currently pouring in 15.5 ppg thanks to 53.0 percent shooting from the field. Unfortunately, his woeful 51.5 percent effort at the free-throw line prevents him from being recognized as one of the top scorers in the Mountain West Conference at the moment. Kruger was supposed to be the top addition to this squad, but even though he's putting up 11.2 ppg and is first with 27 assists through his six games, it's hard to overlook his 37 percent accuracy from the field and meager 27.5 percent effort out on the perimeter.
What makes Nevada such a dangerous team this season is the fact that Nick Fazekas doesn't always have to be the savior for the group. Against California he put up just 12 points, although he was the top guy with 16 rebounds, adding three assists and a pair of blocks to his stat line. Marcelus Kemp tallied a team-high 20 points, followed by Ramon Sessions who scored 19 points and handed out a team-best six assists as well. Kyle Shiloh chipped in 14 points in 23 minutes. Once determined to make himself into a legitimate inside-outside threat, someone got into the head of Fazekas and convinced him that his strength was in the paint, which is why he is currently leading the nation in rebounding with close to 14 caroms per contest. As a top-20 scorer with 22.6 ppg, there are few in college basketball who rival his talent, just as long as he doesn't stray too far, too often. He still has his touch on the outside where he's made 53.3 percent, but he would be doing himself and Nevada a great disservice if he didn't work to his strengths. Kemp (19.1 ppg) has been more than capable at taking over the perimeter shooting with his 20-of-41 effort behind the three-point line.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

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.
