Hockey Betting Lines

11/20/2008 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Patrick Kane scored twice to pace the Blackhawks to a 6-3 victory over the Dallas Stars as Chicago continued its successful six-game road trip.

Kris Versteeg had a goal and two assists, while Brian Campbell and Ben Eager each scored and had a helper for the Blackhawks, who opened the swing with a 3-2 shootout win at Phoenix on Tuesday. They still have games against Toronto, San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles before returning to the United Center on Dec. 3.

Nikolai Khabibulin made 31 saves for the Blackhawks, winners in six of their last nine overall. They also won at Dallas for just the second time in the last 12 encounters.

Mike Modano, Brenden Morrow and James Neal had the goals for the Stars, losers in four of their last five games. Marty Turco made 24 saves in defeat.

Campbell gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 advantage at 9:08 of the middle period, but Neal tied the game again with a rebound tally with 3:54 remaining in the frame.

Versteeg then boosted Chicago to the lead again with 30 seconds remaining in the period on a tremendous individual effort. He skated with the puck through the left circle before veering in front, and while falling down got the puck past Turco.

Martin Havlat made it a two-goal difference at 6:40 of the third with a successful wrist shot from the right circle and Kane added an empty-net tally in the last minute.

Morrow scored on a rebound of a Mark Parrish shot 7:37 into the contest, but Kane tied the game with 37 seconds remaining in the stanza on a wrister from the top of the left circle.

Eager gave Chicago a 2-1 edge at 6:44 of the second as his snap shot squeaked between the pads of Turco, but Modano lit the lamp 66 seconds later on the power play on a shot from above the left circle.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
