Football Betting Lines

10/21/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud and Tampa Bay kick returner Sammie Stroughter have been named the NFC's top players for Week 6 of the NFL season.

Brees completed 23-of-30 passes for 369 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday, guiding the Saints to a 48-27 win over the then-unbeaten New York Giants. New Orleans moved to 5-0 with the victory.

The performance provided for a near-perfect passer rating of 156.8 as Brees picked up the offensive player of the week honor, his ninth weekly award as a Saint.

DeCoud garnered the defensive player of the week award after recording two interceptions, the first of his two-year career, in Sunday's win over Chicago. It was the first multi-interception game by a Falcon since DeAngelo Hall accomplished the feat September 17, 2006. It is the first weekly honor of DeCoud's career.

Stroughter was named the special teams player of the week for his performance in Sunday's loss to Carolina. He recorded a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown, while averaging 47.3 yards on three returns and adding three catches for 65 yards. It is the first weekly honor of the rookie's career.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
