Football Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Foxboro, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots have signed their 2010 second-round draft selections, tight end Rob Gronkowski and defensive lineman Jermaine Cunningham.

Terms of the contracts were not released.

Gronkowski was taken 42nd overall in April's draft out of Arizona where he re- wrote the record book for tight ends.

In just two seasons and 22 games for the Wildcats, the 6-foot-6, 265-pound Gronkowski totaled 75 receptions, 1,197 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns -- all school records at the tight end position. He missed all of last season due to a back injury.

Cunningham was drafted 11 picks later out of Florida where he started 38 of 45 games during his three years with the Gators. At 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, Cunningham tied for tenth in school history with 19 1/2 sacks and ended his collegiate tenure with 152 tackles and five forced fumbles.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
