Hockey Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers made 22 saves for his third shutout of the season to help the Edmonton Oilers take a 2-0 win over the New Jersey Devils at Rexall Place.

Gilbert Brule and Marc Pouliot each had a goal for the Oilers, who have won two straight on the heels of a three-game losing streak.

Martin Brodeur was charged with two goals on 35 shots for the Devils, who lost three of four contests during a four-game road trip.

It was a slow start for the two teams as they combined for just nine shots in the first period, six from New Jersey, with the goaltenders turning them all aside.

Edmonton then put the puck in the net just 1:23 into the middle stanza as Patrick O'Sullivan sent a pass from behind the left side of the net to the front where Brule redirected it home.

From there the two goaltenders took over again as Brodeur finished the frame with 15 saves and Deslauriers stopped nine.

The Oilers tacked on an insurance goal 8:28 into the third period. At the right circle, Robert Nilsson got his stick on the puck as he was falling to the ice and sent it over to the left circle where Pouliot wristed it home.

Deslauriers needed to make just seven stops in the third period to complete the shutout.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
