Montana to play at Tennessee in 2011NCAA Football Betting Lines07/27/2010 - Missoula, MT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Montana football team will open its 2011 season with a game at the University of Tennessee. The matchup, scheduled for Sept. 3, is the first between the visitors from the Big Sky Conference and the Southeastern Conference power. Montana, the FCS runner-up in each of the past two seasons, will play an FBS program for the first time since losing 41-7 at the University of Iowa on Sept. 2, 2006. The Grizzlies, who will receive a $500,000 guarantee for the game, will likely play in front of the largest crowd in school history. The capacity at the Volunteers' Neyland Stadium is 102,038. The largest crowd Montana has played in front of is 70,585 - in the 2006 loss at Iowa. "This will be one of the biggest games we've played in our history, not to mention that we will be playing in front of the biggest crowd ever to watch a Grizzly football team play," Montana athletic director Jim O'Day said. "Our student-athletes really enjoyed the opportunity to play Oregon (2005) and Iowa the past few years, and this is another chance to get them in front of a big crowd and give them a taste of big-time football. "This is one of those situations that it just made sense to play an opponent of this caliber, "O'Day continued. "We are going to be compensated well for it. Plus, we have connections down there with our many FCS championship trips to Chattanooga, and our relationship with (head coach) Jeff Fisher and the Tennessee Titans. As most Griz fans know, Jeff's son, Brandon, was an outstanding linebacker for us, plus (former UM All-American) Tim Hauck is on the Titans' coaching staff, and (also a former Griz All-American) Marc Mariani is currently on their roster." Tennessee was previously scheduled to play North Texas in Knoxville to open its 2011 season, but UNT is opening a new football stadium and wanted to begin the season at home in its Denton, Texas, facility.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
