03/11/2010 -
Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vince Carter ended with 23 points and Orlando
nearly doubled-up Chicago in the first half en route to a 111-82 drubbing of
the Bulls at Amway Arena.
Most of Orlando's starters played limited minutes due to the game being a 32-
point blowout by halftime.
Matt Barnes ended with 14 points, Brandon Bass had 13 with eight rebounds and
Dwight Howard 12 and six for the Southeast Division-leading Magic, who shot
55.1 percent from the field to cruise to their seventh straight win.
Already without Luol Deng (calf) and Joakim Noah (foot), the Bulls played the
last three quarters without point guard Derrick Rose, who exited for good with
a strained left wrist after he drove the lane and took a hard foul by Howard.
James Johnson scored 13 points, Hakim Warrick and Taj Gibson each had 12 and
Jannero Pargo 11 in Chicago's sixth straight loss.
Howard capped a 15-4 run with an alley-oop from Jason Williams to give Orlando
a 21-10 lead with a little over two minutes to play in the opening quarter.
It was 28-17 after 12 minutes, and the Magic ran away with things behind a
37-16 second quarter that saw the Bulls make a mere 4-of-17 from the field.
J.J. Redick's three-pointer three minutes in finished off a 10-2 spurt to open
the frame, and Chicago went the final 7:15 without making a field goal.
Two Howard free throws made it a 65-33 margin at halftime, and despite a 15-1
run, the Bulls still trailed 79-51 with a quarter to play thanks to the Magic
scoring the final eight points of the third.

from the field...All 11 of Orlando's participants scored, as well as all 12 of

NCAA Football Betting
Many fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.)
"To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good."
Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins
There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida.
Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins
Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October.
USC Trojans - 10.5 wins
A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention.
Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy
Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2
He won it last year, so it's no surprise he's the favorite to do it again, making him just the second player to go back-to-back. Ohio State's Archie Griffin turned the trick in 1974 and 1975, and Tebow's coach, Urban Meyer, is pretty sure his star quarterback can match the Buckeyes legend.
"There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach."
Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1
The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines.
Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1
If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
