UConn leads top seeds for women's tourney
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/15/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut, Stanford, Tennessee and
Nebraska all earned top seeds for the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament,
which begins Saturday at campus sites around the country.
Connecticut (33-0) is the top seed in the Dayton Region, and will open play
against Southern. The Huskies are the heavy favorite to win this tournament,
as they have won an NCAA Division I women's record 72 straight games and went
wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team for the second consecutive season.
Connecticut enters the tourney looking for its second consecutive national
title, as the Huskies defeated Louisville last season in the championship
game.
Stanford (31-1) is the No. 1 seed for the Sacramento Region, and faces UC
Riverside, the Big West winner, in the first round. The Cardinal's only loss
this season came against Connecticut in December, a game in which Stanford led
at halftime.
The Cardinal could potentially face UConn in the national championship game,
as the teams are on the opposite side of the bracket. Stanford lost to
Connecticut in last year's Final Four.
Nebraska (30-1) received the top seed in the Kansas City Region and will take
on Missouri Valley Conference champion Northern Iowa in the opening round. The
Huskers were undefeated until Saturday, when they lost to Texas A&M in the Big
12 Tournament semifinals.
Tennessee (30-2) picked up the No. 1 seed for the Memphis Region, and will
begin play against Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peay. The Lady Vols
were the most recent champion other than Connecticut, having won titles in
2007 and '08, but were ousted in the first round in last year's tourney by
Ball State. It was the first time Tennessee ever lost in the first two rounds
of the Tournament.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Bet on NFL Football
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
