Bobcats on the prowl in MinnesotaBasketball Betting Lines02/10/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats will hit the road this evening to face the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. Charlotte put the brakes on a three-game losing streak with a 94-92 triumph versus the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, as Raymond Felton hit the go-ahead basket with 1.9 seconds remaining and finished with 11 points. Stephen Jackson added 22 points and Gerald Wallace chipped in 17 and 13 rebounds for the Bobcats, who have won four of their last seven games. "We needed this win," Felton said. "Coming off that loss against New Orleans, that was a tough loss. We needed these last two games going into the All-Star break. This is a big win for us and we'll try to get another one tomorrow (at Minnesota). Boris Diaw and Flip Murray each scored 16 points in a winning cause. The Bobcats are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference standings and sport a 6-19 mark as the visitor this season. Minnesota hopes to get back in the win column Wednesday evening after having its four-game winning streak cut short with last night's 119-97 setback at Philadelphia. Wayne Ellington, a Philadelphia-area native, led the Wolves with 16 points, while Corey Brewer and Jonny Flynn each netted 14 in defeat. Al Jefferson had 12 points to go with 10 rebounds in the loss. "They thrive off of turnovers and one-on-one play," Timberwolves center Ryan Hollins said. "They were hitting their shots tonight. You can't turn the ball over. That's probably one of the worst teams in the NBA you want to do that against." The Timberwolves have won three in a row in the Twin Cities and are 9-17 as the host this season. Wednesday's showdown between the Bobcats and Timberwolves is the first of two meetings this season. These two teams split a pair of matchups last season, but Charlotte has won four of the previous five games in the series.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
