Defensive Devils host CanadiensHockey Betting Lines01/22/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fresh off a strong defensive performance, the New Jersey Devils will aim for back-to-back wins when they welcome the sliding Montreal Canadiens for tonight's battle at Prudential Center. The Devils ended a three-game losing streak with Wednesday's 2-0 decision over visiting Florida. New Jersey allowed just 22 shots on net and Martin Brodeur stopped every one to extend his NHL record for career shutouts to 108. Brodeur, who is also the NHL's all-time wins leader, has seven shutouts this season and six of those white-washings have come since the start of December. The future Hall-of-Famer also notched his 30th win of the season with the effort, the 13th time he has reached the plateau as a professional. Brodeur is tied with Patrick Roy for the most seasons with 30 or more wins in league history. Travis Zajac and Dean McAmmond scored for the Devils, who bounced back after losing the final three tests of a four-game road trip. "We haven't played that well, it's obvious by this losing streak," Brodeur said. "We're comfortable playing here and we did what we wanted right away. Guys seemed a lot more comfortable playing their game." New Jersey comes into tonight as the first-place club in the Atlantic Division with 67 points, but Pittsburgh is just four points behind the Devils. The Devils are wrapping a brief two-game homestand tonight and have a strong 17-7-0 record as the host this year. Jersey will begin a three-game road trip Saturday against the New York Islanders. Patrik Elias will miss his third straight game for the Devils tonight as recent tests revealed that the veteran forward has a concussion. There is no timetable for his return, but the Devils said he will be re-evaluated later this week. Elias was named as the captain of Team Czech Republic for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, but his status for that event is now in question. Montreal comes into tonight having lost three in a row, but the Habs were at least able to record a point in an overtime loss on Wednesday against visiting St. Louis. The Canadiens charged back from a 3-1 deficit in the third to force the extra session, but Andy McDonald scored the game-winner for the Blues at 3:10 of OT. McDonald took a feed from Paul Kariya and let go a sizzling wrist shot that found room in the top left corner of the net. Michael Cammalleri tied the game for Montreal with 33 seconds left in the third period and Canadiens netminder Carey Price stationed on the bench. Benoit Pouliot lit the lamp twice for the Habs, who have lost six of eight games overall. Price stopped 24 shots in defeat. "In the third we bounced back," Pouliot said. "We played in their zone. We came back to tie and get at least one point." Montreal is 12-12-1 as the guest this year and will try to end a two-game road slide tonight. The Devils have posted a pair of 2-1 victories over Montreal this season. Jersey won a home test over the Habs in regulation on December 16 and then secured an OT victory in Montreal on January 9. The Devils have taken six straight in the series overall and the Canadiens have lost three in a row to New jersey as the visiting team.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTINGNCAA Football BettingMany fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.) "To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good." Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida. Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October. USC Trojans - 10.5 wins A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention. Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2 "There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach." Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1 The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines. Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1 If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
