Welcome back to another year of Stat Check, our Top 10 list of intriguing stats and factoids for the sports gambling connoisseur. At this time in 2009, we were already prepping for the NFL Conference Round, but the schedule-makers keep pushing the end of the season closer and closer to springtime. Arizona and Baltimore, by the way, are the only two teams from last year's Final Four to qualify for the Divisional Round in 2010. It's a fact.
NFL Football Betting Lines
Arizona at New Orleans
Arizona QB Kurt Warner is 9-3 SU and 7-4-1 ATS in his 12 career playoff appearances. That includes beating the football odds in all five of his games with the Cardinals. In those 12 games, Warner threw 33 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions.
Baltimore at Indianapolis
The Ravens are 24-9-2 ATS in their last 35 games after scoring over 30 points in their previous contest. Baltimore advanced to the Divisional Round with a 33-14 victory over the New England Patriots (-3.5).
Dallas at Minnesota
At age 40, Vikings QB Brett Favre's adjusted 2009 passer rating index of 129 is almost identical to his career-best of 130, set back in 1995. The Packers lost the NFC title game that year to the eventual Super Bowl champion Cowboys.
N.Y. Jets at San Diego
The UNDER is 7-3 in San Diego's last 10 January games. The Chargers finished the 2009 regular season with the OVER on a 5-1 run; their team defense has fallen from No. 20 to No. 23 in the league's efficiency rankings.
NBA Basketball Betting Lines
L.A. Lakers at San Antonio
The Spurs are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with road records of better than .600. The Lakers are 8-5 SU (.615) and 4-9 ATS in away games this year. Pau Gasol is listed as doubtful for Los Angeles with a torn hamstring.
Orlando at Portland
The Trail Blazers run the slowest pace in the league at 89.9 possessions per game. Orlando is No. 15 of 30 teams at 95.2 possessions. Despite the snail's pace, the OVER is 21-18 for the Blazers.
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
Kentucky at Florida
The UNDER is 12-5 in Kentucky's last 17 games against winning teams. Florida is 11-4 SU and 5-5 ATS with the UNDER at 4-2. The Wildcats rank No. 5 in the nation in blocking (18.9 percent) and No. 6 in defending the 2-pointer (39.3 percent).
North Carolina at Clemson
Tar Heels opponents are the worst in Division I when it comes to getting to the charity stripe, with one free throw for every 5.03 field goal attempts. The national average is 2.68 attempts. North Carolina is second only to Florida State in average height at 79.1 inches.
NHL Hockey Betting Lines
Boston at Anaheim
The Bruins have the best UNDER record in the Eastern Conference at 27-17. Back-up goalie Tuukka Rask is No. 2 in the league with a .933 save percentage; Buffalo's Ryan Miller is first at .935. Boston is also No. 28 in the 30-team league in scoring with 2.48 goals per game.
Philadelphia at Toronto
The Maple Leafs have the worst penalty killing in the league at 68.3 percent and the third-worst since the NHL began recording the statistic in 1963-64. The Los Angeles Kings of 1979-80 (67.7 percent) and 1982-83 (68.2 percent) are 1-2.
