Basketball Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have signed rookie guard Elliot Williams, who was chosen 22nd overall in this year's NBA Draft.

The 21-year-old Williams compiled averages of 17.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.32 steals in 34 games as a sophomore at Memphis in 2009-10.

The signing came one day after the Blazers inked forward Luke Babbitt, the 16th overall pick in this year's NBA Draft. Babbitt was selected by Minnesota, but was then traded on draft night, along with forward Ryan Gomes, to the Blazers for swingman Martell Webster. Gomes was later waived by the Blazers.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
