03/15/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut, Stanford, Tennessee and Nebraska all earned top seeds for the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, which begins Saturday at campus sites around the country.
Connecticut (33-0) is the top seed in the Dayton Region, and will open play against Southern. The Huskies are the heavy favorite to win this tournament, as they have won an NCAA Division I women's record 72 straight games and went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team for the second consecutive season.
Connecticut enters the tourney looking for its second consecutive national title, as the Huskies defeated Louisville last season in the championship game.
Stanford (31-1) is the No. 1 seed for the Sacramento Region, and faces UC Riverside, the Big West winner, in the first round. The Cardinal's only loss this season came against Connecticut in December, a game in which Stanford led at halftime.
The Cardinal could potentially face UConn in the national championship game, as the teams are on the opposite side of the bracket. Stanford lost to Connecticut in last year's Final Four.
Nebraska (30-1) received the top seed in the Kansas City Region and will take on Missouri Valley Conference champion Northern Iowa in the opening round. The Huskers were undefeated until Saturday, when they lost to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals.
Tennessee (30-2) picked up the No. 1 seed for the Memphis Region, and will begin play against Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peay. The Lady Vols were the most recent champion other than Connecticut, having won titles in 2007 and '08, but were ousted in the first round in last year's tourney by Ball State. It was the first time Tennessee ever lost in the first two rounds of the Tournament.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
