Season Leaves Team Down Finish

Football Betting Lines

Linehan guided an offense that saw quarterback Matthew Stafford throw for 5,038 yards to finish third in the league and wide receiver Calvin Johnson finish first in the NFL with 1,681 receiving yards along with 16 touchdowns.

 

The defense allowed 367.6 yards per game, 23rd in the NFL, and finished in the same spot in points per game with 24.2 points.

 

Detroit kicker Jason Hanson booted 24 field goals on the season and also set an NFL record early in the season with the most games ever played by one player for the same organization.

 

Safety Brian Dawkins is doubtful with a neck injury. Dawkins did not practice this week and has played once in the team's last four games.

 

St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Fisher will be the next head coach of the St. Louis Rams. According to a report from the Post-Dispatch, Fisher decided to coach the Rams rather than the Miami Dolphins. Both teams sought the former long-time Titans head coach, who returns from a year away from the game. He and Tennessee parted ways following the 2010 season, ending his 17-year run with the team.

 

With the Rams, Fisher replaces Steve Spagnuolo, who was fired along with general manager Billy Devaney the day after St. Louis completed a dismal 2-14 season.

 

The club transitioned to Tennessee for the 1997 season and was re-named the Titans prior to 1999. Fisher led the team to the Super Bowl in its first season with the new name, though the Titans dropped a 23-16 decision to the Rams after coming up a yard short of the end zone on the game's final play.

 

The Titans continued to succeed under Fisher, and in 2008 went 13-3 while winning the AFC South title. But Tennessee lost to Baltimore in the divisional round of the playoffs, and regressed over the next two seasons -- 8-8 in 2009, and 6-10 in 2010.

 

This is Tim Tebow's world and we're all just, well...squirrels.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
