The Gridiron Spotlight

Still not a believer in the Arizona Cardinals? Well, you’re not alone, as the oddsmakers opened the Pittsburgh Steelers as big 7-point favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII down in Tampa Bay in two weeks. Still, the Cards’ impressive playoff run looks like it has won at least a few people over, as some sportsbooks have that line down to just 6.5 points. The total for that contest is currently listed at 46.5 points.

Other Notable Events

Duncan picked up 17 points and 11 rebounds as the Spurs slipped past the Bobcats 86-84 on the road in Monday matinee action. Tony Parker chipped in with 13 points and 10 assists for San Antonio in that victory, which moved the team to 27-13 on the season. The Spurs’ next test will come at home against the Pacers on Tuesday night, with Indiana coming off a 103-100 loss to New Orleans.

There are just three other games on the NBA’s schedule for Tuesday night, with Atlanta playing in Chicago, Denver hosting Sacramento, and Minnesota at Utah.

The Rest of the Schedule

The National Hockey League has eight games on the schedule for Tuesday, including Vancouver on the road in San Jose. The Canucks are just 2-5-3 over their last 10 games, and goaltender Roberto Luongo has been shaky since his return from injury. The Sharks sit atop the Western Conference standings after going 6-2-2 in their past 10 contests. Rounding out the slate: Anaheim at the Rangers, Montreal at Atlanta, Washington at Ottawa, Carolina at Pittsburgh, Los Angeles at Minnesota, Columbus at Edmonton, and then Detroit at Phoenix.

Finally, there are just two ranked teams in action on the college hoops hardwood on Tuesday, including No. 2 Duke taking on N.C. State at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils earned themselves a boost in the polls by beating Georgetown 76-67 last time out to improve to 16-1; N.C. State (10-5) is coming off a 76-71 overtime loss to Georgia Tech. The other notable hoops matchup sees No. 25 Illinois in action at Assembly Hall; they’ll get a visit from Ohio State.
