Pistons get 'Sheed back
Basketball Betting Lines
12/22/2006 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Pistons got one of their key players back this week when Rasheed Wallace returned from a two-game absence to help beat the division-rival Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wallace, who had missed the previous two wins with an ankle injury, returned to the lineup Wednesday and contributed a modest nine points and six rebounds in an 87-71 victory at Quicken Loans Arena. Wallace played almost 26 minutes against the Cavs.
"But I'm not worried about that right now," Wallace said about his numbers. "We played good team defense, and that's pretty much all that mattered. You all know me. I'm not no offensive player or worried about my offensive game."
In 22 games this season, Wallace is averaging 13.3 points and 9.1 rebounds a contest. Wallace noted that surgery is not an option and will most likely miss a few games when his ankle begins to bother him.
Not that Detroit desperately needed Wallace back in the lineup but his return came at a perfect time. Now the Pistons, who have won three straight and own a 13-3 mark over the last 16 games, are in first place in the Central Division, just 1 1/2 games ahead of Cleveland.
"When we control tempo, we're a better defensive team and a better rebounding team," Pistons head coach Flip Saunders said. "A lot of things fall into place. When you control tempo, that means you're playing with a purpose on every possession. That's what we've been doing the last three or four weeks."
Detroit will play four of its next five games at The Palace of Auburn Hills, where they have won six of their last seven games. The Pistons are also 7-3 as the host this season.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
