Jazz visit Grizzlies in Memphis

Basketball Betting Lines

02/28/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Northwest Division-leading Utah Jazz open a three-game road trip this evening when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum.

Utah, which owns a 9 1/2-game lead over Denver in the Northwest standings, had a brief two-game winning streak stopped with Monday's 102-94 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers at EnergySolutions Arena.

Derek Fisher had 23 points and eight assists to lead Utah, while Matt Harpring added 14 points and Carlos Boozer added 13 points and nine rebounds in the setback to Los Angeles.

The Jazz will now hit the road for three games against Memphis, Minnesota and New Orleans/Oklahoma City. They own a 15-12 record as the visitor this season.

In injury news for Utah, guard Deron Williams (wrist/groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game at Memphis.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have lost four of their last five games, including Monday's 111-107 loss to the Nuggets at FedExForum. Pau Gasol notched 21 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis, which fell to 11-18 as the host this season.

Mike Miller also scored 21 points and Rudy Gay netted 18 for Memphis. Hakim Warrick contributed 15 points off the bench in the loss to Denver.

Memphis is last in the Southwest Division and has just three wins over its previous 12 games.

Wednesday's showdown between Utah and Memphis is the third of four meetings this season. The 2006-07 series is tied at a game apiece, but Memphis has won three of four and seven of the last nine meetings. The two teams will meet again on March 24 in Salt Lake City.

Utah has lost five of seven and seven of its last 10 at the Grizzlies.

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).
