Football Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Green Bay, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Green Bay Packers announced Friday that the team has signed safety Nick Collins to a multi-year extension through the 2013 season.

Collins had been a restricted free agent, and the team previously put the highest valued tender on him for 2010. Financial terms for the extension were not released.

"The Packers always try to be proactive in our discussions with our current players, and we are pleased we were able to come to an agreement with Nick," said team general manager Ted Thompson. "Nick has been an impact player for us, and we look forward to having him continue his career as a Packer."

A Pro Bowl selection in each of the past two seasons, Collins, 26, started all 16 regular season games for Green Bay in 2009 and registered 53 combined tackles, six interceptions and 13 passes defensed.

Collins has appeared in 77 games -- all starts -- since entering the league as the Packers' second-round pick in 2005 out of Bethune-Cookman and has 17 interceptions and four touchdowns.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
