Basketball Betting Lines
08/12/2008 -
Avellino, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Clippers guard Dan Dickau has
signed with Euroleague team Avellino, the club announced Tuesday.
Dickau, 29, averaged 5.3 points and 2.6 assists in 67 games with the Clippers
last season, his sixth in the NBA. In 300 career games with Atlanta, Portland,
Dallas, New Orleans and Boston, he has posted averages of 5.8 points and 2.5
assists.
His best season came in 2004-05 with New Orleans, when he played in 67 games
-- 46 starts -- and averaged 13.2 points with 5.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds per
game.
Avellino president Vincenzo Ercolino said in a report on the Euroleague
website that Dickau would be the club's starting point guard.
"Our aim was to find a player that could make a difference and dictate the
tempo of our team," Ercolino said. "In the end we managed to bring Dan Dickau
to Avellino. He is a serious professional with NBA experience. We have nothing
to envy of any other playmaker that arrived in Italy this year."

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2007 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2007 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
