Gordon, Rose lead Bulls in rout of Suns

Basketball Betting Lines

11/07/2008 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ben Gordon scored 23 points, and rookie point guard Derrick Rose had 18 points as the Chicago Bulls ran away with a surprising 100-83 win over the Phoenix Suns.

Gordon sank 8-of-13 from the field -- including 4-of-8 three-pointers -- and Rose sank 8-of-11 shots for the Bulls, who had dropped three of four. Tyrus Thomas had 14 points and seven rebounds, and Luol Deng also scored 14 for Chicago.

Amare Stoudemire scored 26 points and grabbed seven boards for the Suns, who had won three straight. Rookie center Robin Lopez had 14 points and seven rebounds for Phoenix, which played without the services of Shaquille O'Neal. The 36-year-old center sat as part of the club's plan to give him rest throughout the season to keep O'Neal fresh.

Steve Nash had only six points and five assists in 24 minutes for the Suns.

Chicago pulled away in the second quarter and never looked back. The Suns led 17-15 after a Stoudemire dunk with 2:08 left in the first quarter, but a Gordon jumper cued a 19-1 Bulls run that bridged the first two frames.

Gordon scored seven points on the push, including a three in the first minute of the second quarter, and a Drew Gooden jumper closed the run and gave the Bulls a 34-18 lead with 8:34 left in the half. Chicago took a 48-34 lead into the break.

The lead held at 14 points early in the third quarter, until an 18-5 Bulls run turned a comfortable lead into a blowout. Deng scored six points on the push, which Gordon capped with a three-pointer, handing Chicago a 27-point lead, at 72-45, with 3:59 left in the third.

Phoenix pulled to within 20 points by the end of the third quarter, but did not threaten in the fourth as the Bulls breezed to victory.

Game Notes

The Suns were also without forward Matt Barnes, who has left the team to be with his fiancee, who gave birth to twins this week. Barnes will also miss Saturday's game in Milwaukee...Phoenix had won seven of eight in the series, including both games last season.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

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.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

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.
