NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/12/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Singler scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, as fourth-ranked Duke pulled away late to earn a 57-46 victory over Virginia in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum.
Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith each chipped in 15 points for the top-seeded Blue Devils (27-5), who are trying for a record 18th ACC Tournament title and second in a row. Duke currently shares the mark of 17 tourney crowns with North Carolina, which has suffered through a miserable season and was eliminated in the first round by Georgia Tech on Thursday night.
Jeff Jones scored 15 points and Mike Scott added 14 with 11 rebounds for Virginia (15-16), which notched a 68-62 win over Boston College in the first round on Thursday. The Cavaliers, who were within two late in the contest, haven't been to the ACC semifinals since 1995.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
