Basketball Betting Lines

07/01/2010 - Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just one day after getting a qualifying offer from the team, forward Rudy Gay has agreed to stay in Memphis as he will sign a five-year deal with the Grizzlies.

It is being reported that the deal could net the 23-year-old a little more than $82 million over the length of the contract.

Gay, the eighth overall pick in the 2006 draft, ranked second on the Grizzlies' scoring list last season with 19.6 points per game, adding 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 80 contests.

Over his four-year career, Gay has averaged 17.4 points and 5.5 boards in 318 contests -- all with Memphis.

He had a visit to Minnesota scheduled for Thursday afternoon, but cancelled the trip after agreeing to the deal.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
