Sports Wagering Week Preview

It’s an exciting time of year for sports betting with the NBA and NHL playoff races heating up and college basketball’s March Madness just around the corner.

This week offers up several key matchups for your wagering pleasure.

Two NBA titans clash on Wednesday with the Chicago Bulls running into a hot Spurs team in San Antonio, where they’ve lost just once in 14 games.

While the Bulls are true championship contenders, expect the hometown Spurs to fetch most of the betting action.

The next night it’s a key matchup for Miami as they try and stay atop the Eastern Conference when they travel to take on a desperate Portland team, which is trying to hang onto a playoff position in the Western Conference.

Of the Trail Blazers' 18 wins this season, 13 of them have come at home. The Heat are scorching, but a wager on the Trail Blazers could be a hit come tip off.

No. 8 Marquette faces a tough challenge when they tip off in college hoops betting action against Cincinnati on Wednesday. Four of five of the Golden Eagles' losses have come on the road this season, while the Bearcats are very strong at home with a 13-4 record.

Look for the latest college basketball odds at 5Dimes and other shops for all of this week's action.

A Top-25 college basketball betting affair between the No. 22 Florida State Seminoles and No. 24 Virginia Cavaliers highlights the Thursday betting menu.

The Seminoles have a losing record on the road and could be in trouble in this one against a Virginia team that has just two losses at home this season.

Pittsburgh and Dallas will draw plenty of action on the NHL betting lines on Wednesday when the two meet in the Lone Star State. The Penguins want to stay in fourth place in the East, while the Stars are battling to stay in a playoff position in the West.
