Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wide receiver Matt Jones and kicker Dave Rayner were among the players released by the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the 53-man NFL limit.

Jones, a former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars who was attempting to revive his career in Cincinnati, fell victim to a numbers crunch at the wide receiver position. Jones had four catches for 54 yards in the 2010 preseason.

Rayner was part of a preseason kicking competition with Mike Nugent, but could not beat out the former Jet. Rayner was 6-of-8 on field goals in the preseason, but missed his only attempt beyond 40 yards.

Also released on Saturday were wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, tight end Chase Coffman, defensive tackle Orien Harris, safety Kyries Hebert, tight end Darius Hill, linebacker Abdul Hodge, guard Otis Hudson, running back James Johnson, tackle Gabriel Manns, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, safety Jeromy Miles, safety Rico Murray, wide receiver Maurice Purify (injury settlement), linebacker Vincent Rey, tackle Chris Rodgers, cornerback Johnny Sears, guard Isaac Sowells, fullback Joe Tronzo, fullback Fui Vakapuna (waived/injured) and safety Marvin White.

Cincinnati will open its regular season next Sunday, when it visits the New England Patriots.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
