Week 10 NFL Odds & Lines
Louisville is ranked #8 in the nation and are off to a 2-0 Start so far
It’s hard to call a season anything but disappointing when you bust out in the opening round to a team like Morehead State. All season, Louisville had looked to be one of the true contenders, and even beat the eventual champion Huskies twice, but they failed to come up big when it counted most and lost as heavy favorites in the first round, to the surprise and dismay of most bettors, who were even expecting the Cardinals to cover the spread in that loss.

Vanderbilt is ranked 18th in the nation
It was more than good news when the Commodores announced they would be returning Festus Ezeli, John Jenkins, and Jeffrey Taylor. The news signified the possibility of a very special season for Vanderbilt.

America East Tournament Preview
Oregon are 12.5 point favorites against Eastern Washington
Last season, Eastern Washington went 10-20 with a 7-9 record in Big Sky Conference play. They were led by a first year coach in Jim Hayford, who was pretty disappointed, as was the rest of his staff and his team when leading scorer Glen Dean transferred. They will now be led by the trio of Cliff Colimon (a senior) and Jeffrey Forbes and Kevin Winfored (both juniors). The three of them combined to average over 30 points per game. The low blocks, however, are manned by two undersized big men in Cliff Ederaine and Tremayne Johnson.

Arkansas State is 10.5 point favorites over UT-Martin
UT Martin is led by the trio of Terrence Smith, Mike Liabo, and Troy King, all who will be entering their second year of college basketball this season, and the trio combined to average more than 30 a game last season. Last season the Skyhawks went 12-21 with a 6-12 record in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Mason Plumlee averaged 7.2 ppg and 8.4 rpg in 25.6 minutes per game
It’s amazing the kind of talent turnover we see with a program like Duke. Most programs,  never mind how happy they would be to have the kind of players Duke gets to begin with, would be devastated to lose two top tier seniors and the best freshman in the nation to the NBA Draft, but Duke is going to have the claim of having brought in the #1 Prospect of all high school students, Austin Rivers. He’s coming out of Winter Park and is well known for being the son of NBA legend and current Celtics coach Doc Rivers, and he should be far better than his father, much as Stephen Curry is to his father, Dell.

Syracuse UConn Big East Tournament Preview
Kris Joseph and the Orange are predicted to be at the top of the Big East again
Much like Connecticut, the last Big East team we covered in these previews here at Maddux Sports, Syracuse is going to be trying to compensate all year for the loss of a stud player. That player is of course Rick Jackson, who last season played a team high 35.9 minutes per game while leading the Big East in rebounding, blocked shots, and field goal percentage.

Arizona is a 9 point favorite against the Duquesne Dukes
The Dukes return an all freshman backcourt from lat year and they finished 4th in the Atlantic-10 Conference. It was their highest conference finish since ’94 and they now have put together their fourth straight 15 win season. Guard TJ McConnell won A-10 Rookie of the year, by scoring 10.8 points per game and dishing out 4.4 assists per game. He did so in 30.6 minutes a game, the highest of all returning players.

Ohio State George Mason NCAA Tournament Preview
Ohio State is among the favorites this year at 15/2 odds
Jared Sullinger and crew are back this year after a disappointing loss to Kentucky in the Sweet 16 round of last March’s NCAA Tournament. Sullinger came back largely in part due to that fact, to guide a team that started out last seasons 24-0, but eventually collapsed when it counted most.

Connecticut Butler NCAA Championship Game Preview
Kemba Walker was a lottery pick last May
The story here in Connecticut is whether the Huskies can remain as dominant as they were last year after losing All-American high scoring guard Kemba Walker. He was a lottery pick in the NBA Draft, speaking of the level of talent he brought to a Connecticut team that made an improbable run to an NCAA title last March.

Kentucky North Carolina NCAA Tournament Preview
Darius Miller has started 71 games in 3 seasons for the Wildcats
The Wildcats made their first Final Four since 1998 last season and after losing four of their stud freshmen to the NBA Draft, nothing is guaranteed this year. John Calipari believes the team has “a good blend of veterans and young players” who give them the length and athleticism to be among the best teams in the NCAA this year.
