Sherritt, Reynolds among preseason Big Sky honorees

NCAA Football Betting Lines

07/19/2010 - Ogden, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eastern Washington's J.C. Sherritt, the 2009 Buck Buchanan Award runner-up, has been named the 2010 Big Sky Conference preseason defensive player of the year. Montana's Chase Reynolds has been named the preseason offensive player of the year.

Both players were also named to the preseason All-Conference team.

Reynolds, a 2010 Walter Payton Award watch list member, is one of five Grizzlies to make the 30-player team. Montana State also had five players selected, while Northern Arizona, Weber State, and Sacramento State each had four.

Joining Reynolds in the all-conference backfield is Eastern Washington sophomore and fellow Walter Payton Award watch list member, Taiwan Jones. Jones finished second in the nation last season in all purpose yards, averaging 195.4 ypg.

Northern Arizona quarterback Michael Herrick, another Payton candidate, also made the cut. Protecting Herrick up front are Montana State's Mike Person (tackle), Montana's Jon Opperud (tackle) and Alex Verlanic (center), Weber State's J.C. Oram (guard) and Northern Arizona's Kris Poindexter (guard).

The selection of two Big Sky wide receivers in April's NFL draft opened the door for Montana State's Everett Gilbert, Weber State's Mike Phillips, and Sacramento State's Brandyn Reed to earn spots on the team. Joining the receivers is tight end Kyle Begger of Montana State.

Fullback Zac Eldridge of Weber State rounds out the offensive team.

Defensively, the team features six players who earned first-team All-Big Sky honors in 2009. These include linebackers Sherritt, A.J. Storms of Idaho State, and Taylor Sedillo of Weber State, linemen Dan Ogden of Montana State and Renard Williams of Eastern Washington, and cornerback Trumaine Johnson of Montana.

Johnson, and all-conference team newcomer Christian Clark of Sacramento State join Sherritt on the 2010 Buck Buchanan Award watch list.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July. Also, be sure to check out all of the lines and props for All-Star weekend.  With the highest credit card acceptance rate in the industry, there are plenty of ways to cash in on the NBA this weekend.
