Football Betting Lines
01/23/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie quarterbacks Cam Newton of Carolina and Andy Dalton of Cincinnati were among the players selected for this week's Pro Bowl as replacements for those originally selected from the Super Bowl participants.
With the Pro Bowl again being played the week before the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl selections from the New York Giants and New England Patriots will not play in the league's All-Star contest in Hawaii.
Newton, the first overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, will replace New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, while Dalton, selected in the second round, will take the place of New England's Tom Brady.
Only one other Giant, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, needed to be replaced for the NFC squad. Chicago's Julius Peppers will take over, earning his seventh career Pro Bowl appearance and second for the Bears.
Other Patriots selected to the Pro Bowl were wide receiver Wes Welker, tight end Rob Gronkowski, guards Logan Mankins and Brian Waters, defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and special teamer Matthew Slater. One other Patriot chosen was injured defensive lineman Andre Carter, who had already been replaced by Houston's Antonio Smith.
Two other Bengals will take vacancies, as Jermaine Gresham moves into the tight end spot and Geno Atkins takes Wilfork's interior defensive line place. San Diego's Vincent Jackson gains Welker's spot at receiver, while Brandon Moore of the Jets has one of the guard spots. Jacksonville's Montell Owens is the alternate special teams selection.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
