02/21/2009 - Boulder, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Big 12 Conference foes collide in Boulder today, as the 11th-ranked Missouri Tigers pay a visit to the Colorado Buffaloes. This is the second meeting of the season between these two, and Missouri had very little trouble disposing of the Buffs in the first encounter, matching a season-high in points with a 107-62 pasting of CU in Columbia back on January 14th.
The Tigers are one of the real surprises in the Big 12 this season, running out to a 22-4 record, which includes a 9-2 mark in conference -- their best- ever start in Big 12 action. Mizzou has won five in a row and nine of its last 10, and a win today would give the Tigers their first 10-win conference campaign since 1999-2000. Missouri took care of Nebraska last Saturday, 70-47, in its most recent outing, and the team has won its last two road games to improve to 4-2 in such bouts this season.
As for Colorado, it is mired in a six-game losing streak, although the last two games have been competitive (85-76 OT loss to Texas, 46-41 setback at Nebraska). The Buffaloes are just 9-16 on the year and 10 of their 11 league games have resulted in defeats. Still, the team is two games over .500 at home (8-6) which should serve as a source of confidence today.
With the win over Colorado earlier this season, Missouri's lead in the all- time series improved to 95-52, although the Buffs own a 33-28 ledger in games played in Boulder. That said, the Tigers have claimed victory in each of their last two visits to the Coors Events Center.
Missouri's success this season stems from its ability to produce at both ends of the floor. The Tigers are knocking down their field goals at a 47.8 percent clip and netting 82.8 ppg as a result. Defensively, they are allowing just 65.5 ppg on 41.0 percent overall shooting, and they take full advantage of the 19.5 turnovers per game the opposition has been guilty of thus far. The frontcourt tandem of DeMarre Carroll (17.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg) and Leo Lyons (14.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg) are the top options for coach Mike Anderson's club, and both are shooting in excess of 50 percent from the floor -- Carroll actually closer to 60 percent (.576). Carroll and Matt Lawrence each scored 13 points to lead the Tigers past Nebraska last weekend, 70-47. The Tigers limited the Cornhuskers to just 28.6 percent field goal efficiency while shooting 42.4 percent themselves, which included a 51.7 percent effort in the second half. Nebraska turned the ball over 20 times, leading to plenty of easy baskets for Mizzou.
A glaring lack of offensive production has been the Buffaloes' downfall this season, as they are averaging 64 ppg, that figure dropping to 58.9 ppg against Big 12 foes. The team does have a pair of double-digit scorers in guards Cory Higgins and Dwight Thorne II, the pair netting 17.6 and 13.0 ppg, respectively. From there however, the cupboard is pretty bare as no player averages more than nine points per outing. Against the same Nebraska team that Missouri manhandled last week, Colorado managed to shoot just 31 percent from the floor and suffered 16 turnovers compared to just six for the Huskers. Higgins was the lone Buff to score in double figures, going just 3-of-9 from the field to finish with 12 points. The turnover story aside, CU did play solid defense, holding Nebraska to 34.8 percent field goal efficiency, but it wasn't enough the earn the team a victory.

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.
