Iguodala's triple-double fuels rout of Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
01/28/2012 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Before starting a brutal seven-game
stretch Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers had to take care of business against
the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.
On his 28th birthday, Andre Iguodala recorded his eighth career triple-double
with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists as Philadelphia routed Detroit,
95-74.
Lou Williams added 17 points for the Sixers, who moved to 10-2 at home this
season. They have outscored their opponents by double-figures in each of those
victories.
Greg Monroe finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Pistons, who
have lost four straight and eight of their last nine.
The Sixers sit atop the Atlantic Division at 14-6, but rank near the bottom of
the NBA in strength of schedule heading into a tough stretch that will give
them an opportunity to disprove some of their skeptics.
It begins with home games against the Magic, Bulls and Heat, then a road game
in Atlanta. The Sixers will return home to play the Lakers, Spurs and Clippers
after that. Those seven teams had a combined 90 wins entering play Saturday.
While on a fastbreak midway through the first quarter, Iguodala dribbled
into the paint and leapt while looking to pass. Before his toes hit the floor,
Iguodala passed to himself off the backboard and emphatically put through
his own alley-oop with a two-handed flush.
The play ignited a 14-0 Sixers run, pushing their lead to 21-8 late in the
opening quarter before it was 24-14 going into the second. Williams and Jodie
Meeks both hit a pair of three-pointers in the period.
The Sixers took a 42-31 lead into the break. Williams netted 10 first-half
points to pace Philadelphia while Detroit shot just 33.3 percent.
Philadelphia continued to hold its double-digit advantage in the third before
taking a 69-53 lead into the final quarter. Elton Brand and Iguodala netted
six points apiece in the stanza.
The Sixers led by as many as 29 in the fourth, cruising to the easy win.

finished with 13 points for Philadelphia...The Sixers are 10-3 against the

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
