NHL Odds: Capitals Host Crosby-Less Penguins in Rivalry

Though never the same without Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals will renew their rivalry this Wednesday. The two clubs have met twice already this season with each team taking a win.

Get your NHL odds for the Penguins/Capitals season series at Bovada.

Though the Pens have missed Crosby's production on the ice, they've managed to stay relevant in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. With their Atlantic Division counterparts starting the 2011-12 campaign off strong, however, Pittsburgh finds themselves playing catch up at mid-season.

Will a heated victory over Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals be enough to push the Pens up the standings and eventually ahead of the Flyers and Rangers? Given the league's current seeding format, Pittsburgh has to do better than third if they hope to hold home-ice advantage in the first-round of the playoffs.

But just because Pittsburgh could benefit from a big January victory doesn't mean they'll necessarily get one. The Caps have spent far too long underachieving to sit back and relax now that they have found some momentum.

With defenseman Mike Green back on the ice, Washington will look to replicate the success they haven't managed to find since the 2009-10 season.

Hit the ice.

BCS Odds Deem Alabama and LSU Near Equal for National Championship

The season that started off with a win over No. 3-ranked Oregon has only gotten better for the LSU Tigers. Now in the New Year, No. 1-ranked Louisiana State braces for a National Championship Game run-in with the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide.

Bet on college football at its finest with Bovada's BCS odds.

Not only did the Tigers show up big against the Ducks early this season, they also managed to knock off seven other top-ranked programs throughout the year, including Alabama once already on Nov. 5.

Will the Jan. 9 matchup end up similar to the first? After sneaking past the Tide with a 9-6 overtime victory in Round 1, the Tigers will look to solve Alabama?s defense and start putting some touchdowns on the board this time out.

Early betting lines favor the No. 1 in the National Championship Game but only by the slimmest of margins. Can the Tigers "cover the spread" as early -1 favorites? Get all the college football odds available for the game with Bovada.

Though Alabama heads into the match lower on the totem pole, there's no denying their legitimacy as a national championship force. With the exception of the LSU loss in November, the Tide, too, finished their campaign undefeated.

Think you know how the biggest game in college football will unfold?

The stage is set.

NFL Odds: Broncos Host Steelers in AFC Wild Card Battle

It's almost not fair that the Pittsburgh Steelers have to hit the road for their Wild Card weekend game with the Denver Broncos. After all, Pittsburgh was 12-4 to Denver's 8-8, but that?s the situation they find themselves in this weekend in NFL playoff action.

Get your NFL odds for the playoffs with Bovada.

No team in the NFL allowed fewer total yards or passing yards than the Steelers, which, combined with Tim Tebow's below-average passing arm, virtually eliminates Denver's aerial game. But that doesn't mean Tebow won't rush for 100-plus yards. Tebow led his team with six rushing touchdowns - the same team that's No. 1 in the NFL on the ground.

On the other side of the ball, Ben Roethlisberger is angling for a return to the Super Bowl, which he and the Steelers won in 2005 and 2008. Big Ben passed for 4,077 yards and 21 touchdowns this season, although his 70 rushing yards pale in comparison to Tebow's 660.

It's experience vs. excitement. Is it crunch time, or is it Tebow Time? Head over to the Bovada sportsbook and you decide.

College Basketball Odds: Slumping Badgers Face Big Ten Foe Michigan

The Wisconsin Badgers will look to turn their recent fortunes around this Sunday when they hit the road against Big Ten rival Michigan. After dropping back-to-back games within the conference, the No. 19 Badgers could use some much-needed relief.

Get your college basketball betting lines at Bovada.

But just because Wisconsin needs a break doesn't mean they?ll get one, Memphis didn?t get one last November when the Wolverines shocked them in a 73-61 upset. Can the now-No. 13-ranked program continue to rise in the conference?

Although an impressive five different Big Ten clubs qualify as Top-25 members in the ESPN/USA Today polls, the constant jockeying within the conference is what make NCAA basketball odds so popular in the months leading up to March Madness.

Is this the year that a Big Ten bid wins the National Tournament for the first time since Michigan State back in 2000?

In this mid-season matchup, both Wisconsin and Michigan will look to prove that they'll be ready and waiting to represent their league in the Big Dance. It won?t be easy, however, with the likes of Ohio State and Indiana emerging as significant threats as well.

Expect Tim Hardaway Jr. at his best in Ann Arbor as their regular season gauntlet of competitive conference play resumes.

NBA Odds: Young Thunder Favored Over Veteran San Antonio

Two of the league's model franchises will clash on the NBA betting lines this Sunday when the ready-and-waiting Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the veteran San Antonio Spurs. They may be on opposite sides of the wave but both look to factor into the Western Conference playoff picture in 2012.

Get your NBA odds at Bovada.

After a conference finals loss to the eventual champion Dallas Mavericks last spring, Kevin Durant and the Thunder have learned the importance of handling veteran squads when faced with them. If nothing else, the early January tilt will be an opportunity for OKC to gauge their progress.

Have we finally reached an age where Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden trump descending superstar Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili? The former may be hitting the shelf with a hand injury, but that's not the only reason why NBA odds makers have pinned the Spurs as underdogs on the year.

With so much time left in the regular season before the playoff picture starts to take form it's near impossible to use early season success as a predictor of the future, but one thing is for sure: it won?t be Oklahoma's legs getting tired at the end of the last-minute season.

This weekend get a formal taste of the NBA's past and future, watch the battle of youth and wisdom unfold.

Back in business.
