Kris Joseph had 17 points, while Scoop Jardine and Arinze Onuaku each chipped in with 11 points for the Orange (23-1, 10-1 Big East), who have won 10 straight games. Ibrahima Thomas had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Yancy Gates added 11 points and five boards for the Bearcats (14-9, 5-6), who have dropped three of four. Early in the second half, six straight points from Syracuse allowed for a 38-32 lead on a Rick Jackson layup just under three minutes in. Cincinnati later came back with a 7-0 run to take a 49-43 lead on a Cashmere Wright three-ball with 12 1/2 minutes to play. The Orange then used a 10-1 burst to gain a 53-50 lead on a pair of free throws from Jardine with 8:40 left in the contest. After a Cincinnati bucket, Syracuse scored the next six points and held a 59-52 lead with 6 1/2 minutes to play on a Joseph layup. Two free throws from Thomas was followed by a layup from Rautins and a three- pointer off the hands of Joseph to give Syracuse a 10-point lead with 4:42 to play. That proved to break the back of Cincinnati as it didn't score a single point for the remainder of the game. The Bearcats held an 11-2 lead about five minutes in after Lance Stephenson put in a pair of free throws. The Orange, though, later scored 11 straight points and took a 17-15 lead on an Onuaku layup with a bit over eight minutes to play in the first half. From there the score stayed tight with neither side building a lead of more than four points, and Syracuse closed the half with a jumper from Joseph and a free throw from Jardine to take a 32-30 lead into the break.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe 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.
