Coming into the day, Richmond and Xavier, along with Temple, are all tied for first place in the A-10 standings at 11-2. With the season winding down, this is obviously a crucial game for both squads.
The Spiders are the hottest team in the conference, as they have won eight straight and 10 of their last 11 bouts. Richmond, which has been ranked in consecutive weeks for the first time since the 1957-58 season, has had plenty of time to prepare for this game, last participating in a 74-70 triumph of George Washington on February 20th. Now at 22-6 overall, the Spiders are out for their first nine-game winning streak since the 1990-91 season.
As for the Musketeers, the are streaking as well, notching four straight victories and eight in their past nine contests. Xavier edged Saint Louis, 73-71, on Wednesday, giving the program its fifth straight 20-win season. The Musketeers now return back home, where they have won 30 consecutive games in A-10 play.
Xavier leads the head-to-head series with Richmond, 10-3, but the Spiders knocked off the 17th-ranked Musketeers, 80-75, in last season's meeting.
The Spiders have been tough on defense this season, holding opponents to just 38.7 percent shooting from the floor while forcing 15.5 turnovers per game. Kevin Anderson has gotten the job done at both ends for Richmond, as he tops the roster in scoring (17.5 ppg) as well as steals (55). David Gonzalvez follows with 13.6 ppg and 49 steals, while Justin Harper chips in with 10.4 ppg. In the team's prior outing, Anderson tallied 24 points and seven assists to lift the Spiders past George Washington. Gonzalvez and Harper both had 10 points for Richmond, which went 20-of-29 at the foul line and forced 16 turnovers.
Xavier shot 47.6 percent from the floor and dominated the boards, 42-28, as it escaped Saint Louis with a 73-71 win on Wednesday. Jordan Crawford led the charge with 26 points and five boards, while Jason Love had 21 points and nine rebounds. On the season, Crawford averages a healthy 20.0 ppg to pace the Musketeers and he also turns in 4.7 rpg and 3.0 apg. Love adds 11.8 ppg and a team-high 8.4 rpg to the mix, while Terrell Holloway contributes 10.9 ppg and a team-best 4.0 apg. Overall, the Musketeers are tallying a hardy 79.4 ppg and converting on 47.1 percent of their attempts from the field and 38.2 percent from downtown.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
