NBA Playoffs Previews for 5/21
Here you can find the odds and previews for all the NBA games of the day:
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics 7:00 PM ET Preview
The Celtics were up by 15 at halftime in Game 4 and had a collapse in the second half to let the Sixers come back for the win. I know everybody keeps talking about the age thing, but the pattern does fit as Boston plays well one game and looks a bit tired the next. Well, they are back in Boston tonight and the Celtics should get the win. Not sure if they will cover however. I think they are due for scoring in Game 5. Take over 173 as the play.

Which NFL Player Will Win Offensive Rookie of the Year
The 2012-2013 NFL season is just around the corner (thankfully), which means that there is a ton to get prepared for. One of the things that we need to discuss here is which of the NFL rookies will take down the 2012-2013 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. This award was won last year by eventualy Pro-Bowler Cam Newton, who had one heck of a rookie season. This year though, the field is wide open as we have quite a few rookie quarterbacks who will be starting pretty much from the word go, and some other players who have a serious shot to take it down as well. For all the sports bettors out there, you can also bet on this on many different sports betting sites, so make sure that you check the odds! Here are the po...

Jason Dufner wins 2012 HP Byron Nelson Championship
It came down to the final stretch of holes at the HP Byron Nelson Championship for a winner to be declared, and Jason Dufner was able to find a way to get his name called when all was said and done on Sunday in Irving, Texas.
Dufner started out with a one shot lead heading into the final day, but quickly squandered it on Sunday with two bogeys right out of the gate. His experience showed after that, though, for the rest of the day, as he made two quick birdies right after that bad stretch and shot one under for the first nine holes to keep himself in contention. From then on it was pretty much smooth sailing for him until the final few holes, when a golfer by the name of Dicky Pride shot up the leaderboard.
Dicky Pride has had a good year in 2012, with five c...

NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Results
Jimmie Johnson came away with the win for the second week in a row, renewing the talk of him being the favorite to win it all this season.
JJ won the first 20 lap segment, in this oddly formatted race, and shot off like a rocket for the final 10 lap shootout. He held off Brad Keselowski for the win and the $1 million winner take all prize.
Johnson was the favorite at +500, so it was still a tidy little payday for anyone who bet on him to win. Winners of the 4 segments included Johnson, Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. won the Sprint Showdown race to get into the big All-Star race and could give him a boost going into next week’s race.

Amile Jefferson signs with Duke
School officials said Tuesday night that Star high school forward Amile Jefferson signed his letter of intent to play for Duke this fall. Coach Mike Krzyzewski says Jefferson is "a perfect young man for Duke University."
Jefferson, a 6-foot-7, 190-pound power forward, was rated the 25th-best player in the country for 2012 by ESPN after he averaged 19.9 points per game and 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals as a senior for Friends' Central School in Philadelphia and he was named a McDonald's All-American.
Jefferson chose Duke over North Carolina State, Kentucky, Villanova, Ohio State and Temple. He signed on the last day of the spring signing period and ultimately decided on the school that he felt was the best fit for him.

Interesting Deal Between Big 12 and SEC for Future Bowl Games
The Big 12 and Southeastern Conference are widely considered to be two of the best college football conferences in the country, and it seems that year in and year out the betting favorites to take down the National Championship seem to be teams out of these two conferences. The two obviously realize this, and they have come together to set up a new deal that will make it so that the regular season champions of the two conferences will play eachother in a New Year's Day bowl game for five years straight starting in the year 2014. This is one of the first moves towards the new four team playoff system that is anticipated in the upcoming seasons.
The idea here is that it is going to create a "exciting postseason atmos...

clinched its fifth Champions League trophy in the 83rd minute when Thomas
Muller headed home Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross.But the hosts let the title slip through their fingertips in the 88th minute
when Drogba turned a header past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from Juan Mata's
corner kick.Arjen Robben was handed a golden chance to restore Bayern's lead in extra
time, but his penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Petr Cech, and Chelsea took
advantage of the reprieve to win the penalty shootout.The match played out as expected with the German side having much of the
possession and creating the majority of the chances, while Chel...Soccer Recent Forum Posts

#7 North Carolina Tar Heels (24-4) vs. Virginia Cavaliers (21-6) Preview and Prediction
February 25, 2012 by agent
North Carolina travels to Charlottesville to battle Virginia in a key ACC showdown. America's Bookie has North Carolina as a 4-point favorite and the total for this game is set at 137½.
North Carolina enters this game tied atop the ACC standings with Duke at 11-2. The Tar Heels have won their last four games overall and five straight on the road, including last Tuesday's 86-74 win against North Carolina State.
Virginia is one of the real surprise teams this season, they're 8-5 in ACC play and they have won their last two games, including a narrow 61-59 victory at rival Virginia Tech last Tuesday. The Cavaliers have won 21 games, the most for the school since 1994-95.
The Tar Heels have won eight of their last nine meetings against the Cavs to increase their advantage in the all-time series to 126-49. North Carolina is seeking the regular season sweep after blowing out the Cavaliers 70-52 in Chapel Hill on February 11.
North Carolina's greatest strength is their frontcourt, the team ranks second in the country in scoring (82.9 points per game) while leading the nation in rebounding (45.8 rebounds per game) and rebounding margin (+11.2).
Harrison Barnes leads North Carolina and ranks second in the ACC in scoring at 18.0 points per game. Tyler Zeller (15.6 points and 9.4 rebounds) and John Henson (14.0 points and 10.4 rebounds) make up an unstoppable duo in the low post. Point guard Kendall Marshall has done an outstanding job distributing the ball, he ranks second in the nation with 9.8 assists per game. Marshall had a career-high 22 points along with 13 assists with no turnovers in 38 minutes of work against North Carolina State. Harrison Barnes added 20 points in the win.
Virginia lacks the offensive firepower to win a shootout with North Carolina, they average a modest 63.1 points per game this season, but they enjoy an impressive +11.0 scoring margin thanks to their outstanding defensive play. The Cavaliers rank second in the nation in scoring defense (52.1 points per game), while holding their opponents to 38.9 percent shooting. This team lacks scoring depth but they have one of the ACC's top frontcourt players in Mike Scott, who leads Virginia in both scoring (17.3 points per game) and rebounding (8.2 rebounds per game). Joe Harris is Virginia's only other double-digit threat with 11.4 points per game.
Scott finished just shy of a double-double with game-highs of 20 points and nine rebounds in last Tuesday's 61-59 win over Virginia Tech. Virginia shot 59.5 percent from the floor (25-42), including 6-15 from beyond the arc.
North Carolina is 10-4 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record while Virginia is 11-7 ATS after allowing 60 points or less.
Virginia is tough to play with because of their defensive style but North Carolina has the weapons to counter. This game will have a similar outcome than the first meeting of the season, it will be a low-scoring contest but North Carolina will prevail. The under is the best play here, six of the last eight games between these two teams have gone under the total.Check out the latest NCAABK Betting news.Want to bet on this game?Exchange your ATB Points for an exclusive FreePlay by following these
