NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/22/2007 - Fort Collins, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado State University named Tim Miles the school's new head men's basketball coach on Thursday.
Miles replaces Dale Layer, who was fired on March 12 after the Rams went 17-13 this past season with a 6-10 record in the Mountain West Conference, earning them a sixth-place finish.
"Tim was an individual from the outset of the search that we identified as our top candidate. He exemplifies the qualities we sought in our head coach," said director of athletics Paul Kowalczyk.
Miles, who becomes the 19th men's basketball coach in CSU school history, most recently served as the head coach at North Dakota State, a position he has held since 2001.
"I am honored with the opportunity to be the head coach at Colorado State," said Miles. "I am excited to get started. It is essential that our players realize the value of their education at CSU. Academics is our top priority. We also want to represent this program, this university, and this community in a first-class manner at all times."
Miles has also had head coaching stints at Southwest Minnesota State and Mayville State.
In 12 years as a head coach, Miles has posted a career record of 212-132.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS
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.
