01/21/2007 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arron Afflalo netted 22 points to lead third-ranked UCLA over No. 11 Arizona, 73-69, in Pac-10 action at the Pauley Pavilion.
Darren Collison scored 14 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out seven assists for the Bruins (17-1, 6-1 Pac-10), who moved to 11-0 at home and won their fourth straight over Arizona. Michael Roll added 13 points in the win.
Ivan Radenovic had 21 points and eight rebounds for the Wildcats (13-5, 4-4), who have dropped three in a row. Marcus Williams and Mustafa Shakur scored 11 points each in defeat. Williams also had 11 boards.
A small 6-0 burst by Arizona in the second half, capped on a three-pointer by Williams, pulled the Wildcats within two at 39-37, but the Bruins went on to net eight of the game's next 10 points. Six of those points came from Roll, who knocked down a pair of treys and his second gave UCLA a 47-39 advantage with 15:26 on the clock.
Five straight points by the Bruins upped their lead to 60-50 with 6:44 on the clock. The Wildcats twice got to within six, but six points in a row for the Bruins late pushed their edge to 68-56.
Shakur, however, followed with a layup to get within 10, and a dunk by Chase Budinger made it a 68-60 contest. Arizona then started fouling the Bruins, and both Collison and Afflalo missed free throw attempts.
That allowed Arizona to get within three on two free throws by Shakur and a three-point play by Jawann McClellan with 27 ticks to go. However, the Wildcats never got closer.
Ahead by a point in the first, the Wildcats grabbed control with a 7-0 run. McClellan started the burst with two from the line, while Daniel Dillon followed with a pair of free throws and a three-pointer that moved Arizona's lead to 25-17 with 6:22 remaining in the first half.
The Bruins, though, answered with a 13-0 run to go ahead 30-25. Josh Shipp started the burst with a layup and Russell Westbrook put UCLA ahead 26-25 on a jumper with 3:47 remaining. The Bruins closed out the run with four straight free throws.
UCLA used that momentum to carry a 35-29 edge into the break.

The San Francisco 49ers (5-11 SU, 5-10-1 ATS in 2007; 1-1 SU & ATS in pre-season) found some offensive life last week, and they will try to build some momentum on Thursday night as they travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears (7-9 SU & ATS in 2007; 0-2 SU, 0-1-1 ATS in pre-season) in an NFL matchup that is set to get underway at 8 PM ET at Soldier Field (natural turf) in Chicago.
Thursday, August 21
NFL betting odds: CHICAGO -3 (-120), Total 37
NOTABLE STAT: San Francisco was last in points, last in total offense in 2007
KEY NFL BETTING TREND: SF has lost its last seven SU on pre-season road
In the BetUS NFL pre-season football betting odds, the Bears are listed as a three-point favorite (laying -120), with the total posted at 37 points.
Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup (reflecting numbers going into the 2008 season):
* SF has lost 11 of its last 14 games SU
* SF has covered three of its last 11 games
* SF has lost six of its last seven road games SU
* SF has covered one of its last seven road games
* CHI has covered five of its last eight games
* CHI has played five of its last seven games OVER the total
* CHI has covered four of its last 13 home games
* SF has lost its last seven pre-season road games SU
* CHI has covered two of its last seven home pre-season games
Well, I guess we should congratulate the Bears on making their quarterback choice for the season's opening game, as they have designated Kyle Orton the starter against Indianapolis. The Bears obviously have lost patience with Rex Grossman, and what they do with him at this point is anybody's guess. But suffice it to say that there isn't a quarterback competition anymore, at least in training camp.
Meanwhile, the quarterback competition may also be settled in San Francisco, where the Niners bounced back from a lackluster 18-6 loss to the Raiders, in which they turned the ball over four times, to execute a 34-6 rout of the Packers last Saturday. However, coach Mike Nolan has stopped short of saying that, insisting that the job is still open. But J.T. O'Sullivan, the longshot of the trio of Niner signal-callers who opened camp, will start his third straight pre-season game here. Against Green Bay, O'Sullivan was only 8-for-17, and was intercepted, but he also threw for 9.1 yards an attempt, which included a 59-yard TD pass to Josh Morgan. The others struggled.
Some offensive cohesion is badly needed, in light of the Niners' dismal 2007 campaign, in which they were dead last in the NFL in scoring, with just 13.7 points a game. And O'Sullivan is the guy who is most familiar with offensive coordinator Mike Martz's exacting system, because he learned it last year in Detroit. O'Sullivan will go at least the entire first half and may even last longer. He'll be relieved by Alex Smith, with Shawn Hill doing the mop-up work. Three receivers who were out last week - Bryant Johnson, Ashley Lelie and Arnaz Battle - will miss this game too.
That may hurt a little here, especially since the Bears will be using a lot of their defensive starters. And it's the defense that has been keeping the Bears in games thus far. In fact, the defense and special teams were responsible for the first 19 points Chicago scored against Seattle last time out, as the offense really struggled with Grossman at the controls. But maybe the first-team offense has a chance to settle a little bit as it works more with Orton at the helm.
Certainly we have concerns about the Bears' offensive line, but we like the scenario for them here, especially if O'Sullivan doesn't make some bis plays. The Niners may have nowhere else to turn right now, and they have lost seven straight road games in the pre-season. Let's take Chicago, the three-point favorite in the NFL football betting odds.
