03/11/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Vancouver Canucks will try to get right back in the win column tonight when they visit the Anaheim Ducks and the Honda Center.
The Canucks had matched their longest winning streak of the season with four straight victories prior to Monday's 3-2 setback to Los Angeles. Still, the loss was just Vancouver's third in its last 15 games.
With 76 points on the season, the Canucks are fifth overall in the Western Conference and are now within eight points of first-place Calgary in the Northwest Division. Vancouver is also just five points behind Chicago for the fourth seed in the conference.
Alex Burrows and Taylor Pyatt scored in Monday's defeat for the Canucks, who also lost for the third time in their last eight road games. Vancouver is 16-12-4 as the guest this year and begins a four-game homestand versus the Kings on Friday.
Roberto Luongo allowed three goals on 22 shots in defeat, only his second in his last 14 starts. Luongo hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last 11 outings and is 7-6-0 with a 2.50 goals against average in his career versus the Ducks.
Meanwhile, Anaheim will try to avoid dropping four games in a row since doing so to begin the season from October 9-15. The Ducks' current slide reached three games after Sunday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.
Todd Marchant netted a short-handed goal and Scott Niedermayer lit the lamp in the game's final minute for the Ducks, who have also dropped four of their last five games. Jonas Hiller stopped 22-of-25 shots in defeat, his third straight losing start.
The Ducks now sit in a tie with St. Louis for 11th overall in the West, three points back of a postseason spot. The club will try to halt a four-game home losing streak tonight, with the last two setbacks of that skid coming on its current five-game homestand. Anaheim, which will also host San Jose and Nashville, is 15-15-3 at Honda Center this year.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere should return to net tonight and is just 1-2-1 over his last four starts. He has yielded three goals in each game.
The Ducks have lost both of their meetings with the Canucks so far this year, including a 7-6 shootout setback at home on October 31. Vancouver has won five of the last six in the series and three of its last five trips to Anaheim.
Giguere is 9-9-1 with a pair of ties and 2.80 GAA in his career versus Vancouver. He did not make it out of the second period in his lone start against them this year, allowing four goals on 13 shots faced.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
