Kentucky holds on against Vanderbilt

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/12/2012 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doron Lamb scored 16 and his three-pointer with under four minutes left gave Kentucky the lead for good, as the top- ranked Wildcats beat Vanderbilt, 69-63, for their 17th straight win.

Anthony Davis tallied 15 points, Terrence Jones 14 and Marquis Teague 13 for Kentucky (25-1, 11-0 SEC), which continued its unbeaten stretch in conference play.

The Wildcats scored the final eight points, blanking Vanderbilt over the final four minutes.

John Jenkins had 15 points for the Commodores (17-8, 6-4), who lost for the third time in four games. Festus Ezeli, Jeffery Taylor and Brad Tinsley all scored 13 in defeat.

Tinsley's jumper provided Vandy with a 63-61 edge with 4:10 left, but the Commodores went cold from the field the rest of the way, missing their final nine shots.

Lamb's three with 3:18 to go gave Kentucky the lead for good and Michael Kidd- Gilchrist added a pair of free throws with 2:08 left to make it a 66-63 difference.

Ezeli then missed a jumper and Taylor was off the mark on the following shot.

The Wildcats essentially sealed the win with a circus play at the other end. Kidd-Gilchrist dribbled into the lane before losing his footing, but somehow passed the ball from his knees to Darius Miller, who made an acrobatic layup just before the shot clock expired with 1:13 remaining.

Missed free throws from Teague and Kidd-Gilchrist opened the door for Vandy, but the Commodores continued to miss the mark in the closing seconds.

Jones jammed off an assist from Lamb, and then hit a jumper to cap a run of eight straight points for the Wildcats to give them a 20-11 advantage. A jumper from Jones provided a 34-20 lead with 1:27 left in the half and the margin stood at 13 at the break.

A three-pointer from Jenkins capped a 9-2 push for Vandy, getting the hosts within 44-41 with 14:08 left. The Commodores pulled even at 48 following a three-ball from Taylor barely inside 12 minutes left.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
