11/20/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jonathan Dwyer rushed for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Georgia Tech rolled up 472 yards on the ground in a 41-23 romp of 23rd-ranked Miami-Florida.
Quarterback Josh Nesbitt ran for 93 yards and a score for Georgia Tech (8-3, 5-3 ACC), which beat the Hurricanes for the fourth straight time. Georgia Tech now has a lead over the Hurricanes in the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Despite being atop the division and having already finished their conference schedule, the Yellow Jackets are not guaranteed a spot in the ACC title game. North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Virginia are all 3-3 and all three hold the tiebreaker over the Yellow Jackets with head-to-head wins earlier in the season.
Georgia Tech plays Georgia next Saturday in its regular season finale. UNC has NC State and Duke left on its ACC schedule, while Virginia plays Clemson and Virginia Tech. The Hokies play Duke this Saturday before the game against the Cavaliers.
Jacory Harris connected on 13-of-18 passes for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns against one interception for the Hurricanes (7-4, 4-3), who had a five-game winning streak broken.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game
How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
