Bucs rally to down Chiefs; Freeman hurts thumb

Football Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rudy Carpenter completed 8-of-11 passes for 79 yards and the game-winning touchdown to lead Tampa Bay to a 20-15 come-from- behind win over Kansas City at Raymond James Stadium.

Buccaneers starting quarterback Josh Freeman went 2-for-4 for 21 yards before leaving the game with a fracture on the tip of his right thumb after the team's first offensive series.

Josh Johnson took over and went 6-for-10 for 113 yards while Kareem Huggins carried eight times for 44 yards for the Bucs, who evened their preseason mark at 1-1.

Matt Cassel went 14-of-19 for 125 yards and a touchdown and Jackie Battle toted 11 times for 59 yards for the Chiefs, who fell to 0-2 in preseason play.

Connor Barth's second field goal of the night with 9:42 remaining in the game evened the score at 13.

The Bucs forced the Chiefs to punt and took over at midfield. Carpenter hit Arrelious Benn for 16 yards before two Carlos Brown runs for 29 yards moved the ball to the Chiefs five-yard line. Carpenter then hit Terrence Nunn for the go-ahead score with just over six minutes to play.

Barth's 31-yard field goal gave the Bucs a 3-0 lead before Cassel's six-yard scoring pass to Jeremy Horne put Kansas City ahead, 7-3.

The Bucs regained the lead on a 53-yard catch and run for a score by Michael Spurlock only to see the visitors tie the game in the final seconds of the first half on a 28-yard Ryan Succop field goal.

The Chiefs took their first lead late in the third quarter as Tyler Palko engineered a 12-play, 76-yard drive that finished with a 29-yard field goal by Succop.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
