Friday's Best Bet's--Literally

The Boston Celtics will be gunning for their 10^th straight victory Friday night when they visit the Detroit Pistons. Here's a look in your Daily Sports Roundup and the rundown of all the top sports picks for Friday night.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The most scrutinized body part heading into Sunday's Super Bowl has been Hines Ward's knee. The Steelers wide receiver suffered a sprained MCL against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, and he missed practice to rest the injury on Wednesday. However, Ward practiced fully on Thursday afternoon and will start on Sunday night against the Cards - albeit with a brace on his bad knee.

Yes we hear Brandon Lang's Super Bowl record is 48-0. That four games worse than Mel Stewart Sports.  Now we are being sent SPAM that tells us that Grant Scott also has never lost a Super Bowl pick.

Other Notable Events

The Blue Devils and Demon Deacons are a combined 34-2 straight-up so far this season, but it's 18-1 Duke that has the 10-game winning streak and the No. 1 spot in the current AP Poll. The Blue Devils (10-7-1 against-the-spread) bounced rival Maryland 85-44 at home in their last contest.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald is the receiver everyone is talking about heading into the Super Bowl, so it's no surprise that he's the favorite to pick up the most receiving yards on Sunday on the NFL props lines. Teammate Anquan Boldin and the Steelers' Hines Ward follow Fitzgerald on that list at most sportsbooks, although Ward's sore knee could end up cutting into his numbers Sunday night.

BetUs Sportsbook and Bodog Life are among those that even release prop bets on the Super Bowl commercials though the meaty PETA commercial didn't get past the censors. We will leave the second guessing to the Paul Gauguin's armchair quarterback.

The Rest of the Schedule

The NBA rolls out a busy schedule on Wednesday, with a dozen games set for the hardwood. Headlining the early action is Sacramento at Boston, with the Celtics looking to pick up their ninth straight victory. Ray Allen and company blasted Dallas 124-100 last time out, with Allen tossing in 23 points in that victory.

The rest of the early slate: Milwaukee at Indiana, Atlanta at New York, Toronto at New Jersey, Washington at Miami, Detroit at Minnesota, Denver at New Orleans, Memphis at Oklahoma City, and Philadelphia at Houston. The Mavs will then try to bounce back with a win at home over Golden State on Wednesday night, while it's Charlotte at Portland and Chicago at the Clippers in the west-coast contests.

Finally, the NHL offers up just four games on Wednesday, including the Rangers visiting the Penguins for an Atlantic Division matchup. Calgary will also play host to Buffalo, while Chicago visits Anaheim, and Nashville will travel to Vancouver.

Tuesday's Gamblers Rundown

In our scorephone days when the Handicapper's Sampler was broadcast, announcer Chris Jordan would call betting cards as strong as tonight "freight trains". Rest assured, the sportsbooks will feel like they've been run over like a freight train after tonight.

The top sports betting service ever in terms of winning percentage has the NBA Game of the Year while the winningest sports handicapper in terms of units won has the Big 12 Game of the Year.
