Pierce, Celtics open home-and-home set with CavsBasketball Betting Lines01/29/2012 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Pierce and the banged-up Boston Celtics aim to climb above the .500 mark when they welcome Cleveland to TD Garden for the front end of a home-and-home set. With starters Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal out of the lineup, "The Truth" has set Boston free. Pierce put the Celtics on his back Friday, netting 17 of his 28 points in the third quarter as Boston took down Indiana, 94-87, for their fourth straight win. Pierce also added 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Celtics. "I like to come out in the third quarter and be aggressive," Pierce said. "I focus on trying to get better as the game goes on." Rondo sat out his fifth consecutive game due to a wrist injury, while Allen missed his third straight contest with a jammed left ankle and O'Neal sat for the second straight time with a balky left knee. But Pierce has really stepped up in their absence, averaging 23.4 points, 8.2 assists and 6.4 rebounds over his last five outings -- including Friday night's game. "We had unbelievable energy," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. "We thought the key was to force them into playing versus our half court defense. Thought we did that." It's unclear when Rondo or Allen will return to the lineup but both are listed as day-to-day while O'Neal has been pegged as probable for Sunday's contest. The Cavs, meanwhile, have struggled recently, losing five of their past six games, including Friday's 99-96 setback to New Jersey in the Forest City. Rookie star Kyrie Irving led the way for Cleveland in that one scoring a career-high 32 points including 21 in the fourth quarter. Antawn Jamison added 20 points and six rebounds and Ramon Sessions scored 11 off the bench for the Cavaliers. "Obviously not happy with the way the game went," said Cleveland head coach Byron Scott. "It started from the beginning of the game. I didn't think we came out with the energy that we needed. If we don't come out and play aggressively and with that type of energy from start to finish, we're going to keep having these up and down type games." Cleveland, which will host Boston on Tuesday, lost two of three to the C's last season.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East. Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around. The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
