01/25/2007 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of talented ACC teams will collide in Durham this evening, as the 10th-ranked Duke Blue Devils welcome the 19th-ranked Clemson Tigers to town.
Clemson enters this contest with an 18-2 record, the first time the program has been as successful in its first 20 games since 1986-87. After winning 17 in a row to open the campaign, the Tigers suffered back-to-back defeats to Maryland and North Carolina. Fortunately, they were able to get back in the win column with an impressive 74-54 decision over Boston College on Saturday.
Since losing two straight games to open league play, Duke has managed three consecutive wins over conference opponents, all by more than 20 points. On Saturday, the Blue Devils were completely dominant in a 79-56 romp over NC State, and they are now 12-1 at home.
Duke has won its last 19 games against Clemson, and the Blue Devils own a commanding 97-27 advantage in the all-time series with the Tigers. Furthermore, Duke is 52-4 at home against Clemson.
On Saturday, Clemson shot 50.8 percent from the floor and finished with only eight turnovers in the victory over Boston College. The Tigers managed 21 more field goal attempts than the Eagles, overshadowing the fact that the club shot a lowly 3-of-9 from the foul line. Leading the way in the win was Cliff Hammonds, as he netted 17 points. James Mays contributed 14 points, and Vernon Hamilton added 13 points. The Tigers are scoring 77.0 ppg while limiting opponents to 63.2 ppg. K.C. Rivers does not start for Clemson, but he leads the team in scoring with 14.3 ppg on the strength of his 42.4 percent shooting from three-point range. Mays is netting 13.5 ppg to go along with a team-high 7.3 rpg, and Hamilton adds 11.8 ppg. The fourth and final double-digit scorer for the Tigers is Hammonds with 11.1 ppg.
With five double-digit scorers, Duke certainly benefited from a balanced offensive attack in the victory over NC State on Saturday. Freshman standout Jon Scheyer led the charge with 10 points, and DeMarcus Nelson tallied 15 points. Josh McRoberts and Greg Paulus tallied 13 points apiece, and David McClure rounded out the group with 10 points. The Blue Devils connected on 52.5 percent of their field goal attempts, and they limited the Wolfpack to 34.1 percent efficiency from the floor while forcing them into 20 turnovers. Nelson is the leading scorer for Duke with 14.5 ppg, and McRoberts checks in with 12.6 ppg. As for Scheyer, he is averaging 12.1 ppg and seems to get better with every outing. The Blue Devils are posting 69.5 ppg while limiting opponents to 55.3 ppg on 38.8 percent shooting from the field.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
