12/28/2008 - West Lafayette, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 10th-ranked Purdue Boilermakers host an in-state opponent, the Valparaiso Crusaders, in a non-conference clash this afternoon from Mackey Arena.
Valparaiso is desperate for a victory, as the team has lost its last four outings and eight of the last nine since opening the season with back-to-back wins. The Crusaders are fresh off an 85-60 loss to UCF on Monday and have lost all four games during the current slide by double digits.
As for Purdue, it has won five consecutive decisions to improve to 10-2 overall. The Boilermakers also opened the season with five wins in a row before dropping back-to-back decisions to Oklahoma and Duke, a pair of tremendous opponents. Last weekend, Matt Painter's squad knocked off Davidson by 18 points, and that impressive victory was followed up by Monday's 70-55 decision over IPFW.
Purdue owns a commanding 11-2 series lead over Valparaiso, including an 87-55 romp over the Crusaders in the most recent meeting six years ago.
Urule Igbavboa is the top performer for Valparaiso this season, but his average of 10.4 ppg isn't going to scare Purdue at all. The only other double- digit scorer on the roster for the Crusaders is Michael Rogers with his 10.1 ppg. The team has struggled to generate offense, as it is posting a modest 61.5 ppg on 41.8 percent shooting from the floor. Defensively, Valpo is permitting 68.1 ppg. In the 25-point loss to UCF on Monday, the Crusaders allowed the Golden Knights to connect on 63.3 percent of their field goal attempts and earned a 34-28 rebounding advantage. The Crusaders got 12 points from Brandon McPherson and 10 points from Cameron Witt in what was a poor overall performance.
Purdue is one of the nation's best defensive teams, as it is holding opponents to a mere 56.9 ppg on 35.2 percent shooting from the floor. At the offensive end of the court, the Boilermakers are generating 75.5 ppg. Robbie Hummel leads a balanced attack with 14.9 ppg, and he is shooting 43.1 percent from three-point range and 91.4 percent from the charity stripe. E'Twaun Moore provides 14.4 ppg, and JaJuan Johnson adds 12.5 ppg. Johnson connected on 10- of-14 field goal attempts against IPFW on Monday and finished with 21 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Moore scored 19 points for Purdue, which got just six points from Hummel. The Boilermakers committed a mere seven turnovers in the clash and limited their overmatched opponents to 39.2 percent field goal efficiency.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
