01/27/2007 - Bloomington, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Long-time rivals will meet in Bloomington this afternoon, as 23rd-ranked Indiana and Michigan collide in a Big Ten Conference contest.
Michigan carried a two-game win streak into Wednesday's clash with Wisconsin, the top team in the league, and the result was a 71-55 setback. Still, the Wolverines are 16-5 overall and 4-2 in league play, and a win today would allow the club to inch closer to a spot in the national poll.
Like Michigan, Indiana is 4-2 against Big Ten opponents and has only lost five games all season. One of those defeats came on Tuesday, as the Hoosiers had a five-game win streak halted with a 51-43 setback to Illinois. The 43 points marked the worst offensive output of the season for Indiana, which is a perfect 10-0 at home heading into today's clash.
The Hoosiers own a 96-51 lead in the all-time series with Michigan, and the Hoosiers have won the last 10 meetings.
Michigan is not an explosive offensive team by any means, as the club is only averaging 66.8 ppg this season. Fortunately, the Wolverines have been outstanding at the defensive end of the floor, as they are limiting opponents to 58.0 ppg on 39.3 percent shooting from the field. Michigan is outrebounding foes by 7.3 rpg, and the positives mentioned have enabled the club to overcome an average of 15 turnovers per contest. Dion Harris is the leading scorer for the Wolverines, as he is netting 13.2 ppg despite his inconsistent shooting. Harris is also tops with 88 assists and 26 steals. Courtney Sims is scoring 12.1 ppg, and Lester Abram checks in with 9.6 ppg. In the 13-point loss to Wisconsin earlier this week, Sims scored 16 points to lead Michigan, but he was responsible for seven of the team's 19 giveaways. Abram tallied 10 points for the Wolverines, who permitted the Badgers to connect on 54.2 percent of their field goal attempts.
Indiana is scoring 72.2 ppg this season while limiting opponents to 60.2 ppg on 40.7 percent shooting from the floor. The Hoosiers have committed 50 fewer turnovers than their foes, but they have attempted 76 fewer free throws. D.J. White is the leading scorer for Indiana with 14.2 ppg, and he is tops with 7.3 rpg and 46 blocks as well. The only other double-digit scorer in the lineup is Roderick Wilmont, as he is posting 11.3 ppg. On Tuesday, the Hoosiers shot a lowly 38.6 percent from the floor, including 5-of-17 from three-point range. They were also outscored 13-4 from the foul line by Illinois, and those factors led to the eight-point setback. White scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds, but he got little help from his mediocre supporting cast.

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:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
