Millsap leads Jazz to home-and-home sweep of ClipsBasketball Betting Lines11/04/2008 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Millsap scored 15 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter and the Utah Jazz cruised to a 89-73 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in the back end of a home-and-home series from the Staples Center. Millsap was 8-of-12 from the field with nine rebounds while Andrei Kirilenko notched a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards for the Jazz, who have claimed victory in each of their first three games this season despite being without star guard Deron Williams, who is out with an ankle injury. "We're playing as a team with or without Deron," Millsap said. "I busted my but and it worked out for me. Hopefully I can continue to help my team." Carlos Boozer scored 25 points and hauled in 10 rebounds, as the Jazz previously used a big second half to pummel the Clippers, 101-79, on Saturday in Salt Lake City. The wins gave head coach Jerry Sloan his 997th and 998th wins at the helm of the Jazz. Sloan has 1,092 career NBA wins over the course of his 29-year coaching odyssey, the first three of which were spent in Chicago. Utah's next two games are at home against Portland on Wednesday and Friday vs. Oklahoma City. Chris Kaman had a team-high 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, who have dropped their first four games to start the season. Baron Davis returned from a sore hip and shot 5-of-15 from the field for 14 points and doled out nine helpers while Marcus Camby made his debut in a Clippers uniform, collecting five points and nine rebounds in almost 27 minutes. Camby sat out the preseason and LA's first three games with a heel injury. "It was like riding a bike," Camby said of his return. "It was a good step for me. I felt a little winded out there but we're going to build from tonight." Utah held a narrow lead, 36-35, at the half and the Clips stuck around in the third quarter with a three-ball from Davis tying the game, 57-57, with two minutes left in the third. The Jazz went on a 10-3 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters and Millsap put on a one-man show down the stretch, with 15 straight points to lift the Jazz to victory. Game Notes The Clippers next take on the Lakers in a designated away game at the Staples Center...Boozer had 13 points and eight rebounds Monday...LA's Al Thornton contributed 11 points and seven boards...The Jazz have beaten the Clips seven of the last nine meetings...Attendance was 12,712.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
