Football Betting Lines
01/19/2012 - Eden Prairie, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Vikings have hired Alan Williams to be their new defensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.
Williams spent the last 10 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts as a defensive backs coach. Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier worked with Williams when he was with the Colts from 2005-06, and they helped coach Indianapolis to the Super Bowl title after the 2006 season.
Additionally, Minnesota named Brendan Daly defensive line coach. Daly coached with the Vikings from 2006-08 before joining the Rams' staff.
"Alan and Brendan have both proved themselves as quality coaches in our League," said Frazier. "I had the chance to work directly with both men and cant say enough about their character, work ethic and ability to connect with players and push them to be their best."
Frazier was the Vikings' defensive coordinator when Daly was previously with the team.

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.
