Canadiens invite struggling Bruins to MontrealHockey Betting Lines02/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins will try to avoid tying the longest losing streak in franchise history when they visit the rival Montreal Canadiens for today's Northeast Division clash at Bell Centre. The Bruins have gone the last 10 games without a win, posting an 0-6-4 record since their last victory on January 14 in San Jose. Boston hasn't dropped 11 in a row since losing that many during a franchise-record slide from December 3, 1924-January 5, 1925. Boston's cold streak has dropped the club into a tie for 11th place in the Eastern Conference, but the Bruins are still just two points away from the East's final playoff spot. The Bruins picked up a point in their latest defeat, as they lost in a shootout Saturday afternoon against visiting Vancouver. Pavol Demitra scored with 4:42 left in regulation to tie the game, then registered the lone goal of the shootout, as the Canucks skated to a 3-2 decision at TD Garden. Zdeno Chara and Michael Ryder scored for Boston, which is a brutal 1-9-4 since posting a 4-1 win at Ottawa on January 5. Tuukka Rask turned aside 29-of-31 shots in the loss. Boston has managed just two goals or fewer in nine straight games and has just 13 tallies over that span. Today marks the start of a four-game road trip for Boston, which is 10-10-5 as the visiting team this year. Montreal, meanwhile, has won its last three games and is currently sixth in the East with 62 points -- five points more than Boston. The Canadiens earned a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions on Saturday, as Brian Gionta recorded two goals and one assist to lift Montreal to the 5-3 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins. Tomas Plekanec had a goal and two helpers for the Canadiens, who have won three in a row for the first time since tying a season-high with four straight victories from December 19-26. Scott Gomez and Mathieu Darche also tallied while Jaroslav Halak stopped 18 shots for the win. Canadiens defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron missed Saturday's game with a lower- body injury and is questionable for this afternoon's test. Montreal, which is playing the middle portion of a three-game homestand today, is 14-11-4 as the host this year. The Canadiens will complete the residency Wednesday night against Washington. The Canadiens have won all three meetings with the Bruins this year and posted a 3-2 shootout win in Boston last Thursday. Montreal has taken 15 of 20 overall in the series and the Bruins have dropped nine of their last 11 games at Bell Centre.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go. MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points. Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game. Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again. After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes. Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at. Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds. If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time. Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
