| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 14 Western Michigan vs. No. 3 Syracuse |
| Mar 19, 2014 |
| Mid-American Conference Tournament champion Western Michigan is in the
NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade but they have quite the
challenge on Thursday as it essentially will be home game for Syracuse
in Buffalo. The Orange are 13-point WagerWeb chalk. Picked to finish in the second tier of the Mid-American Conference in the preseason polls, the Western Michigan Broncos ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 11 Dayton vs. No. 6 Ohio State |
| Mar 19, 2014 |
| Dayton has been pining to play Ohio State for years but the Buckeyes
never will schedule their little brother. Now the Flyers get their
chance on Thursday in the Round of 64 in the NCAA Tournament. The
Buckeyes are 6-point WagerWeb chalk. For the past 19 years, playing in the Atlantic 10 under Oliver Purnell, Brian Gregory and now Archie Miller, the Flyers often have made it to the ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 16 Texas Southern vs. No. 16 Cal Poly |
| Mar 18, 2014 |
| Certainly the biggest dog in this NCAA Tournament has to be Cal Poly.
The Mustangs are just 13-19 but they stormed to the Big East Tournament
title for their-first ever NCAA Tournament berth. They face SWAC
Tournament champion Texas Southern on Wednesday in Dayton. Cal Poly
opened as a 3-point WagerWeb chalk. Cal Poly upset Cal State Northridge 61-59 in the tournament final. Reserv ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 16 Mount St. Mary’s vs. No. 16 Albany |
| Mar 18, 2014 |
| One of the most unlikely NCAA Tournament teams this season is Mount St. Mary’s, the champion of the Northeast Conference Tournament, despite entering the tourney with a record that is below .500. The Mountaineers are 2.5-point WagerWeb underdogs against semi-surprising America East champion Albany in the First Four in Dayton on Tuesday night. The winner faces No. 1 overall seed Florida o ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 12 North Carolina State vs. No. 12 Xavier |
| Mar 18, 2014 |
| Two of the last at-large teams into the NCAA Tournament face off in the
First Four on Tuesday night in Dayton as NC State from the ACC,
probably the final at-large team, faces Xavier of the Big East. The
Musketeers opened as 2.5-point WagerWeb chalk. Xavier finished 3rd in the Big East. The Musketeers are all for one and one for all when it comes to rebounding, finishing second in t ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 11 Tennessee vs. No. 11 Iowa |
| Mar 18, 2014 |
| Two teams that had to sweat out Selection Sunday face off in the final
game of the First Four on Wednesday night in Dayton when Tennessee of
the SEC battles Iowa of the Big Ten. The winner will face Massachusetts
on Friday, a very winnable game for either the Vols or Hawkeyes. Iowa
opened as a 1-point WagerWeb chalk for this one. UT is one of the least predictable teams in the NCAA ... read more |
| NCAA Tournament odds: No. 1 overall seed Florida favored for third title |
| Mar 18, 2014 |
| The top overall seed has won the NCAA Tournament the past two years —
Louisville in 2013 and Kentucky in 2012 — and the top seed in this
year’s Big Dance is SEC regular-season and tournament champion Florida.
The Gators are +450 WagerWeb chalk to cut down the nets outside of
Dallas on April 7. Florida (32-2) has won 26 consecutive games and is the only team to go 18-0 in the SEC. T ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers |
| Mar 17, 2014 |
| It will take a minor miracle for the Philadelphia 76ers not to lose
their franchise-record 21st consecutive game on Monday night when they
visit the team with the best record in the NBA in Indiana, which opened
as one of the biggest favorites of the season on WagerWeb. Indiana had quite an unlikely win on Saturday, rallying from a 25-point second-quarter deficit to beat Detroit 112- ... read more |
| NHL hockey odds: Anaheim Ducks at Colorado Avalanche |
| Mar 14, 2014 |
| It’s a potential Western Conference Finals preview on Friday night as
Pacific Division leading Anaheim visits Central Division No. 2 Colorado
in the game of the night. The Avs opened as slight WagerWeb chalk. The Avalanche got an impressive 3-2 home win over Chicago on Wednesday. Semyon Varlamov stopped 37 shots for his 100th NHL win, helping the Avalanche take four of five in the s ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Indiana Pacers at Philadelphia 76ers |
| Mar 14, 2014 |
| The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t very likely to end their 18-game losing
streak on Friday night as they face Eastern Conference-leading Indiana
in the City of Brotherly Love. The Pacers are double-digit chalk at
WagerWeb. The sad-sack Sixers were beaten 115-98 at home by Sacramento on Wednesday in one of their best chances to win the rest of this season. Henry Sims posted career-highs ... read more |
| NCAA Basketball Betting: Florida leads contenders into NCAA Tournament |
| Mar 14, 2014 |
With conference tournaments taking place this week leading up to Selection Sunday, bettors are meticulously analyzing college basketball betting lines and looking to identify favorites and sleeper teams heading into the NCAA Tournament.

| AAC Tournament basketball odds: No. 19 Memphis vs. No. 21 Connecticut |
| Mar 13, 2014 |
| Both Memphis and UConn will be in the NCAA Tournament but both could
improve their seeding with a strong run in the first-ever American
Athletic Conference Tournament. The event is held in Memphis, an
obvious advantage for the Tigers, and they are 2.5-point WagerWeb chalk
for Thursday’s game. Memphis closed the year alternating wins and losses over their final five games. Three of ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Houston Rockets at Chicago Bulls |
| Mar 13, 2014 |
| Both Houston and Chicago have been playing as well as anyone in their
conference — the Rockets have the best record in the NBA in 2014, but
both enter Thursday night’s TNT nationally televised opener off a tough
loss Tuesday night at OKC. The Rockets opened as 4-point WagerWeb chalk. Chicago played its worst first half of basketball this season, trailing 38-14 after one quarter and ... read more |
| Pac-12 Tournament odds: Must-win game for Stanford vs. Arizona State |
| Mar 13, 2014 |
| By all accounts, Stanford is very much on the NCAA Tournament bubble and there already have been a few teams winning their conference tournaments that weren’t supposed to, meaning a few less at-large bids will be available. Thus the Cardinal likely must beat Arizona State in the Pac-12 Tournament on Thursday night in Las Vegas to have any shot at a berth. ASU opened as a solid WagerWeb favori ... read more |
| ACC Tournament basketball odds: Florida State vs. Maryland |
| Mar 13, 2014 |
| It could be the final ACC game ever for Maryland and will be if the
Terps lose to Florida State in the conference tournament on Thursday in
Greensboro. Maryland is of course off to the Big Ten next year. FSU
still has a shot at an NCAA Tournament berth but needs at least a few
wins in the ACC Tournament. Maryland is 1.5-point WagerWeb
chalk. FSU ended the season with a 74-58 h ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat |
| Mar 12, 2014 |
| Could the Brooklyn Nets actually sweep the Miami Heat this season? The
Nets are 2-0 against Miami so far but both of those wins came in
Brooklyn. The Heat opened as solid WagerWeb chalk to win at home
Wednesday night. The Nets have a chance to get three games over .500 for the first time this season with a victory. They have won two consecutive games and six of seven overall. Monda ... read more |

| NBA basketball odds: Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder |
| Mar 11, 2014 |
| Ever since Russell Westbrook returned from injury right after the
All-Star Break, the Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t looked right. They
have lost five of eight and look to stop a two-game skid Tuesday night
in a potential playoff preview against Houston, which has the best
record in the NBA in 2014. OKC is 4-point WagerWeb chalk. The Thunder were huge favorites Sunday at the Lak ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Boston Celtics at Indiana Pacers |
| Mar 11, 2014 |
| The Indiana Pacers have lost a season-high four straight
games heading into Tuesday’s game with Boston but they have
been fortunate enough that Miami has lost three consecutive so Indiana
still leads the Eastern Conference by 1.5 games. The Pacers are
12-point WagerWeb chalk at home versus Boston. Indiana was beaten 105-94 at Dallas on Sunday. Paul George had 27 points and 11 ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: Horizon League Tournament Final |
| Mar 11, 2014 |

the NCAA Tournament. Wright State is 6.5-point WagerWeb chalk. Milwaukee (20-13) advanced with an upset of regular-season champion Green Bay 73-66 at Saturday. Jordan Aaron scored 28 points and Matt Tiby added 15 with 10 boards as No. 5 seed M ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: Saint Mary’s vs. Gonzaga |
| Mar 10, 2014 |
| Gonzaga will be playing in the NCAA Tournament regardless of what
happens in Monday night’s West Coast Conference semifinal against Saint
Mary’s, but it’s a must-win for the Gaels if they hope to get an
at-large berth. Or they could just win the tournament and make it a
moot point. Goznaga opened as 5-point WagerWeb chalk. The Zags were the WCC regular-season champs and heavy t ... read more |
| NBA basketball odds: Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks |
| Mar 10, 2014 |
| The Philadelphia 76ers continue with their obvious attempt to tank the
rest of the season and land the best draft pick possible as they carry
a 16-game losing streak into Monday night’s game at a Knicks club
almost struggling as much. But just to show you how bad the Sixers are,
New York opened as 15.5-point WagerWeb chalk. The Sixers were beaten easily Saturday night at home by one ... read more |
| NHL hockey odds: Toronto Maple Leafs at Anaheim Ducks |
| Mar 10, 2014 |
| The Anaheim Ducks look to pad their Western Conference points lead on
Monday night when Toronto makes its only visit of the season. The Leafs
are currently No. 4 in the much-weaker Eastern Conference and have 17
fewer points than the Ducks. Anaheim opened as -185 WagerWeb chlak on
the moneyline. The Ducks lost 3-2 in a shootout Friday night to Pittsburgh in what might have been a S ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: No. 21 New Mexico at No. 10 San Diego State |
| Mar 8, 2014 |
| The Mountain West Conference outright regular-season title is on the
line as the clear two best programs in the conference, New Mexico and
San Diego State face off on Saturday night. The Aztecs are solid home
chalk at WagerWeb. SDS won a tough game Wednesday, 73-64 at UNLV, which badly needed the victory to boost its NCAA Tournament resume. San Diego State (26-3, 15-2 Mountain West ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: No. 14 North Carolina at No. 4 Duke |
| Mar 8, 2014 |
| College basketball’s final Saturday of the regular season wouldn’t be
complete without the best rivalry in the sport as North Carolina looks
for a surprising sweep of Duke on Saturday night, but the Blue Devils
are slight WagerWeb chalk. Duke perhaps was caught looking ahead on Wednesday as it was stunned 82-72 at a bad Wake Forest team, which all but cost Duke a top seed in the NC ... read more |
| NCAA basketball odds: No. 25 Kentucky at No. 1 Florida |
| Mar 8, 2014 |
| The Florida Gators look to complete a rare unbeaten season in the SEC
on Saturday afternoon, and all but lock up the No. 1 overall seed in
the NCAA Tournament and finish off a regular-season sweep of Kentucky.
The Gators are solid WagerWeb chalk for the national TV game with a
noon Eastern tip-off time. Kentucky will make the NCAA Tournament but could use an upset to get a shot at ... read more |
