Nesbitt leads Georgia Tech in season-opening routNCAA Football Betting Lines09/04/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Nesbitt ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns, as the 16th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets opened the 2010 season by trouncing South Carolina State, 41-10, at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Roddy Jones added a pair of scores on the ground for the Yellow Jackets (1-0), who are the reigning ACC champions. Malcolm Long completed 11-of-25 passes for 94 yards and ran for South Carolina State's lone touchdown. The Bulldogs (0-1) are the two-time defending MEAC champions. Georgia Tech got the ball to begin the game and wasted little getting on the scoreboard. An unsuccessful on-side kick gave the Yellow Jackets excellent field position, starting at the Bulldogs' 42-yard-line. South Carolina State forced Georgia Tech into a 4th-and-3 situation at the 35, and the Yellow Jackets converted as Nesbitt took the ball all the way to the end zone to give his team the early lead. The Bulldogs picked up points on their first offensive series of the season, with Blake Erickson capping a 17-play drive by drilling a 28-yard field goal. Georgia Tech's next drive extended into the second quarter, and Nesbitt scored from a yard out. The Yellow Jackets led 13-3 after the extra point was blocked. South Carolina State came up empty on its next series when Erickson missed a 42-yard field goal attempt. The Yellow Jackets then marched 74 yards in nine plays, and a one-yard plunge by Jones made it 20-3 with 4:46 remaining before halftime. Georgia Tech was forced to punt on its first series of the second half, but the Bulldogs' Lennel Elmore fumbled during the return. Quentin Sims recovered the ball for Georgia Tech at South Carolina State's 21-yard-line. The Yellow Jackets capitalized in four plays as Nesbitt dashed 14 yards into the end zone for a 24-point cushion. Following a South Carolina State punt, Georgia Tech moved 44 yards in three plays, aided by a personal foul infraction, and Jones scampered 15 yards to increase the lead to 34-3. A one-yard TD run by Long cut the Bulldogs' deficit to 34-10 with 2 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. The Yellow Jackets added a touchdown on Tevin Washington's 10-yard run with 4:50 remaining in the game. Game Notes This was the first-ever meeting between the schools...Nesbitt was 1-of-6 passing for eight yards and one interception...Asheton Jordon rushed for 129 yards on 18 carries for South Carolina State...Georgia Tech outgained the Bulldogs, 384-272.

Super Bowl 2009 BettingSuper Bowl 2009 Betting propositionsUnderdog bettors love the Super Bowl and, history suggests, the underdogs love them back. And the big dogs bite harder. Even so, there is a warning in store for Super Bowl gamblers who must love dogs: The Arizona Cardinals Super Bowl betting lines might not be enough of a Cinderella to make it worth your while. Although the Cardinals were widely panned as one of the worst division winners and least playoff-worthy teams in recent memory, their trip to Super Bowl XLIII Jan. 31 in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl betting lines comes with a little more respect from the oddsmakers than you might imagine. They are a 7-point underdog at most sports books. If you count yourself among those who covet the big dog in the big game, this isn’t exactly great news. You should have been hoping for more points. This is because the facts show that the bigger the dog, the better the bet in the Super Bowl. Case in point: Over the past 13 seasons, double-figure underdogs in the Super Bowl are 4-0-1 ATS and have won the past three outright. In fact, the last double-digit chalk to do the deed for bettors was the 1995 San Francisco 49ers, who managed to beat the astounding 19-point spot afforded backers of the San Diego Chargers in the 49-26 romp in Super Bowl XXIX. By contrast, 7-point favorites are 2-1-1 ATS in the same span, the last such contest resulting a cover grinded out by the Colts in their 29-17 win over the Bears two seasons ago in Super Bowl XLI. In 2004, the Patriots failed to cover the number in their 32-29 triumph over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl props while the Rams and Titans gave everyone a refund in 2000 after the Rams posted a 23-16 win as a seven-point favorite. So while Arizona’s run has included impressive upsets as a 10-point road underdog to the Carolina Panthers and Sunday’s 32-25 win in the NFC championship game to the 4-point favored Philadelphia Eagles, their long-shot story lacks a bit of the David vs. Goliath storyline of past Super Bowl underdogs. While the seven-point spread represents a significant gap in the perception of strength between the two teams, it is far from monumental. For example, last season the Giants were the wild-card afterthought turned road-warrior buzzsaw, with stunning wins over the Buccaneers, Cowboys and Packers to earn their place in the Super Bowl. There, they played spoiler to New England’s bid to become the first 19-0 team in NFL history and cemented their place in sports betting lore with a 17-14 win as a 12.5-point underdog. In other words, the Cardinals appear to have their work cut out for them as a mid-range underdog. But in homage to the spread beaters who have come before them, here is a brief look back at recent colossal upsets in the Super Bowl: SB XLII -- 2008 -- New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14 (Giants +12.5) – Eli Manning’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress in the final minute clinched the historic upset for the Giants, who used a masterful defensive plan to slow down Tom Brady and the previously undefeated New England Patriots. XXXVI -- 2002 -- Patriots 20, Rams 17 (Patriots +14) – This was the coming out party for the aforementioned Brady, who went from obscure sixth-round draft pick to Super Bowl hero in one fell swoop. He led the game-winning drive in the final minute – eschewing analyst John Madden’s advice to take a knee and play for overtime – leading to Adam Vinatieri’s memorable 48-yard field goal that split the uprights as time expired. XXXII 1998 Broncos 31, Packers 24 (Denver +12) – The first of John Elway’s two consecutive Super Bowl titles to put an end to his Hall of Fame career was an upset for the ages. The Broncos used the determination of Elway and a 157-yard, three-touchdown performance from Terrell Davis to turn back Brett Favre and the heavily favored Packers.
