Bulls officially add Korver
Basketball Betting Lines
07/13/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls announced Tuesday they have
signed sharpshooter Kyle Korver.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but several days ago the Chicago
Tribune reported it was a three-year, $15 million deal. Korver, who spent the
last two-plus seasons with Utah, joins former Jazz teammate Carlos Boozer in
going to the Bulls. Boozer signed with Chicago last week.
Coincidentally, Korver joins a team he once hated.
"I thought Michael Jordan was selfish and I hated the Bulls growing up,"
Korver said. "I was a Lakers fan. I was actually born in LA, so 'Showtime'
basketball is what I grew up watching."
However, he said he came to appreciate Jordan's game more as he worked on his
own, and Tuesday, Korver accepted his Bulls jersey with a smile.
"I thought it was the best fit for me," Korver said. "They need some shooting.
I'm very comfortable with [Boozer], obviously. I really love the direction
this team's going. I feel like I fit in really well."
The 6-foot-7, 212-pound Korver played 52 games for the Jazz last season and
shot a league-best 53.6 percent from three-point range, though he averaged
just 7.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
Korver, who spent his first four-plus seasons playing with the Philadelphia 76ers, has career averages of 9.9 points and 3.0 rebounds over 517 contests.
He has also shot 41.0 percent from beyond the arc and is an 87.9 percent free
throw shooter.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
