Football Betting Lines
11/19/2008 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Orleans Saints placed tight end Mark Campbell and running back Aaron Stecker on the injured reserve list Wednesday, effectively ending each player's season.
Campbell, a 10-year veteran out of Michigan, caught 12 passes for 121 yards and two scores in nine contests before suffering an injury to his left knee in Sunday's victory at Kansas City.
Stecker has played through a lingering hamstring injury for most of the season, logging just 43 yards on eight carries in six games. The nine-year veteran is one of the club's five season-long captains.
To fill their spots on the roster, the Saints signed free agent running backs Darian Barnes and Mike Bell, who is two years removed from rushing for 677 yards on 157 carries for the Denver Broncos in his rookie campaign.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
