03/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers finally got off the schneid with a big win at Toronto this weekend, and hope that carries over into Tuesday's road bout against the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Philadelphia was able to snap a five-game losing streak with Sunday afternoon's 114-101 triumph over the Raptors at Air Canada Centre thanks to Thaddeus Young, who scored a career-high 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting. Rookie Jrue Holliday netted 21 points and Andre Iguodala scored 16 in a winning effort.
"My jumper was really going good," Young said. "My teammates put me in positions to do well. As a team, we just wanted to come out aggressively and get the lead and maintain the lead throughout the game."
Elton Brand had 12 points and nine boards in the win, just the Sixers' third in their last 11 tries. Philadelphia ended a three-game road losing streak and improved to 13-20 as the guest this season.
The Sixers will return home for two games versus Charlotte and Cleveland after their visit to Indy.
Indiana just lost every test on a four-game road trip and is coming off Saturday's 113-105 setback Phoenix.
Danny Granger had 24 points and seven rebounds, while Roy Hibbert ended with 22 points, six rebounds and five blocks for Indiana, which has just two wins in its last 13 contests.
"I thought we competed all trip," Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien said. "We didn't come out on the positive side but I think it shows how tough minded our guys are. Four games in five nights on a tough road trip; we competed our hearts out, just didn't come away with what we needed to."
Troy Murphy tallied 19 points and 16 boards in a losing effort. The Pacers hope to improve on their 13-16 home ledger this evening.
The Sixers and Pacers have split a pair of matchups this season, with each team winning on enemy territory. Indiana has won six of the past nine meetings with Philadelphia. These two teams have split the last 12 meetings in Indy.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

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.
