Hockey Betting Lines
02/22/2012 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mikkel Boedker scored the winner in the final round of the shootout as the Phoenix Coyotes took a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
Dustin Brown had tied the shootout in the second round when he buried his shot past Mike Smith, but Boedker got it back when he faked to the backhand and shoved it in.
Jack Johnson then missed the net on his shot to give the Coyotes the win.
Radim Vrbata had two goals and an assist while Shane Doan also scored two for the Coyotes, who have won three straight and eight of nine. Smith made 25 saves in the win.
"This one felt really good tonight," said Doan. "We're on kind of a roll here, but to rally the way we did tonight, it's nice."
Drew Doughty, Justin Williams, Brown and Andrei Loktionov all scored for the Kings, who have lost five of their last six games. Jonathan Quick also stopped 25 shots.
The Kings held a 3-0 lead after 14:44, but the Coyotes' power play, which went 3-for-7 in the game, scored twice in the first 5:26 of the second period to get the team back into the game.
The first goal came just 50 seconds in as Martin Hanzal sent a pass on the rush from the left side to the right where Vrbata tapped it in.
Less than five minutes later, it was a 3-2 game on Doan's one-timer off a bouncing pass from Hanzal at the right circle.
The Kings got one back at the 11:51 mark of the second on the power play thanks to Williams' 12th of the season, but Phoenix made it a one-goal game going into the third when Doan cleaned up a rebound at the left side with 2:53 left in the second.
A match penalty to Kyle Clifford gave the Coyotes a five-minute power play with 6:13 to play and they tied the game with 2:27 left as Vrbata's heavy wrister from the low left circle snuck underneath the crossbar.
Doughty got the Kings on the board 6:18 into the game when his big shot from the high slot beat Smith cleanly.
With 7:28 to play in the first Loktionov's turnaround shot from the right side snuck past Smith and it was a 3-0 game 2:12 later when a slap shot from Willie Mitchell at the left point was tipped in by Brown.

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.
