Hockey Betting Lines

04/03/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Avalanche signed defensemen Kevin Shattenkirk and Colby Cohen to entry-level contracts Saturday. Terms of the deal were not released.

Both players were instrumental in Boston University's 2009 NCAA men's ice hockey championship run. Shattenkirk assisted on Cohen's game-winning goal in overtime in the national title game against Miami-Ohio.

Shattenkirk, 21, served as Terriers' captain as a junior this season, the first underclassman in almost five decades to be named so. He ended the year with seven goals and 29 points in 38 contests.

Cohen, 20, also a junior and a native of suburban Philadelphia, was a first- team Hockey East All-Star selection by leading all defenseman in the conference with 14 goals and racked up 30 points in 36 games.

Each will report to Colorado's American Hockey League affiliate at Lake Erie.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
