Heat breeze past Hawks
Basketball Betting Lines
02/12/2012 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwyane Wade scored all 21 of his points in a
lopsided first half, and the Miami Heat cruised past the Atlanta Hawks,
107-87, in a Southeast Division showdown at Philips Arena.
LeBron James chipped in 23 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, while Chris
Bosh added 14 points and 16 boards for Miami, which was able to rest Wade and
James for the entire fourth quarter and Bosh for all but 5:17.
The division-leading Heat led by as many as 32 against the second-place Hawks.
They outscored them at the foul line, 26-6 and won the battle on the glass,
52-38.
Willie Green scored 17 points off the bench to pace Atlanta, while Joe Johnson
netted 12 in defeat. Marvin Williams and Josh Smith combined for 14 points on
6-of-21 (29 percent) shooting.
The Hawks were coming off wins over Eastern Conference contenders Indiana and
Orlando and were looking to cut into their two-game deficit in the standings.
Their quest was denied early and emphatically, as the Heat went an 11-0 run in
the final 4 1/2 minutes of the first quarter. Their 30-18 lead ballooned to as
many as 25 in the second following a Wade-fueled 22-4 spurt.
Wade scored 13 points during the late surge, including a three-point play for
a 58-33 cushion with 74 seconds left before halftime.
It was 63-41 at the break, and Mario Chalmers went off for 10 of his 15 in the
third quarter to maintain the healthy cushion. James' three-pointer with 4:02
remaining extended the margin to 81-49, and the visitors cruised from there.
While Bosh played a little over five minutes in the fourth quarter, Wade and
James sat to rest up for road tests at Milwaukee and Indiana on Monday and
Tuesday, respectively.

Super 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.
