Santa Clara Into Virginia Tech Win

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 21st-ranked Saint Mary's-CA Gaels look to stay unbeaten in West Coast Conference action as they hit the road to square off with the Loyola Marymount Lions at the Gersten Pavilion. This will be the 130th meeting between the Gaels and Lions. Saint Mary's holds a 76-53 advantage in the series after winning the last 10 games in the rivalry.

 

Saint Mary's comes in with an 19-2 overall record after defeating the Santa Clara Broncos 93-77 on Saturday for its ninth straight victory. The last Gaels' loss came at the hands of the nationally-ranked Baylor Bears. Head coach Randy Bennett has led his team to a 8-0 start in the WCC, where the program has done very well in recent history including a share of last year's regular season title. The Gaels have finished no lower than third in the conference in each of the last eight seasons. Saint Mary's leads the league in scoring defense, scoring margin, rebound margin, and assist to turnover ratio.

 

LMU is 12-8 overall after an 74-62 victory over Santa Clara on Monday night. The Lions performed well on both ends of the floor in the contest, as they connected on 51 percent of their field goals and held the Broncos to 35.7 percent shooting. Head coach Max Good's team has been very good at defending the three all season as it leads the WCC in three-point field goal defense as it has held opponents to 28.7 percent from beyond the arc. The victory over Santa Clara improved LMU's WCC record to 5-2. With a scoring average of 71.1 ppg and an allowed average of 67.3 ppg on the defensive end, LMU is outscoring its opponents by 3.8 ppg. The Lions have won five-straight road games coming into tonight.

 

Charlottesville, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 19th-ranked Virginia Cavaliers will look to bounce back from its first home loss of the season as they host the Boston College Eagles for an Atlantic Coast Conference battle at the John Paul Jones Arena. This will be the 14th meeting in the all-time series. The Cavaliers still hold a 7-6 advantage in the rivalry despite Boston College winning five of the last six meetings, including the last four regular season encounters.

 

Four different players are averaging just under 10 points per game for Boston College. Ryan Anderson is the team's leading rebounder with 6.4 rpg, and recorded his fourth double-double of the year his last time out with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Freshman center Dennis Clifford has been a serviceable big man since entering the lineup 10 games ago. During his span as a starter, his 12.1 ppg is the best on the team while his 5.1 rebounds ranks second. Jordan Daniels had a notable outing against Wake Forest as he scored 12 points and handed out five assists.

 

Forward Mike Scott continues to lead Virginia with averages of 16.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Scott is leading the ACC in field goal efficiency with a connection rate of 57.8 percent. Joe Harris complements Scott nicely from the guard slot. Harris is the team's second leading scorer with 12.5 ppg after he went 4-of-8 from the field to score 10 points against Virginia Tech. This evening will be the second occasion that the Cavaliers will be without their leading shot blocker Assane Sene. Virginia struggled to score inside without Sene against Virginia Tech.

 

This marks the 220th all-time meeting between these rivals. UNC holds a 144-75 series advantage and has won 10 straight and 16 of the last 17 meetings. The 10-game win streak is the longest in the series for North Carolina since a similar span from 1967-70. The Tar Heels' only longer win streak was 11 games from 1934-38.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING

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.
