02/26/2009 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 24th-ranked Butler Bulldogs can clinch at least a share of the Horizon League regular-season title with a win over the Youngstown State Penguins this evening.
Youngstown State has won five of its last six games to move to 11-16 overall and 7-9 in conference. The Penguins are fresh off a 68-64 victory over Saint Peter's in a non-league affair, and they hope to improve their 4-8 record in true road games.
Don't expect a victory to come easily, however, as Butler is 12-1 at home. The Bulldogs are 13-3 in Horizon League action, a game better than second-place Wisconsin-Green Bay. Butler had lost back-to-back games for the first time in over three years, but the club got back to its winning way with a 75-63 triumph over Davidson in a BracketBuster tilt on Saturday.
It should be mentioned that Butler recorded a 79-71 victory over Youngstown State back in early December, and the Bulldogs have won 15 of the 17 all-time meetings with the Penguins.
Vytas Sulskis scored 18 points for Youngstown State in the victory over Saint Peter's on Saturday. The Penguins also got 13 points apiece from DeAndre Mays and Tom Parks, while Sirlester Martin pulled down 12 rebounds. YSU only connected on 37.9 percent of its field goal attempts in the tilt, but the club earned a 41-29 rebounding advantage, including a 16-7 edge on the offensive glass. Also, the Penguins only turned the ball over nine times. Kelvin Bright leads YSU in scoring this season with 11.8 ppg, although his 38.2 percent shooting from the field is far from impressive. Mays adds 11.1 ppg, and Sulksis provides 10.0 ppg for the Penguins, who are netting 66.6 ppg while allowing 68.5 ppg.
Butler figured to have its hands full with Davidson's star guard Stephen Curry on Saturday. Curry did score 20 points in that clash, but he was limited to 6- of-23 shooting from the floor. The Bulldogs also forced 19 turnovers in the tilt and earned a 20-13 edge in points from the foul line. Gordon Hayward was sensational for Butler, as he tallied 27 points and nine rebounds. Matt Howard pitched 12 points, and Willie Veasley added 10 points. Overall this season, Howard is scoring a team-high 14.0 ppg to go along with 7.0 rpg and 44 blocked shots. Hayward provides 13.9 ppg, and Shelvin Mack checks in with 12.0 ppg and 94 assists. The Bulldogs are scoring 68.3 ppg this season while limiting opponents to 57.5 ppg on 37.8 percent field goal efficiency.

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.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
