Sports Network Beats All-star At Patriots

Football Betting Lines

Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent defensive back Kyle McCarthy, the team announced Tuesday. The 25-year-old McCarthy went undrafted out of Notre Dame, but was signed as a free agent by Denver in 2010. In two seasons with the Broncos, McCarthy recorded four tackles and three special teams stops in 12 games.

 

The 27-year-old Sacramento State product posted career highs of 50 receptions, 869 yards and seven touchdowns with Edmonton in 2011, his third CFL campaign. Since 2009, the California native has totaled 99 catches for 1,633 yards and 11 scores.

 

Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have re-signed offensive lineman Glenn January. January started every game at right tackle for the Blue Bombers last season and was named an East Division All-Star. He missed the entire 2010 campaign with a torn pectoral muscle.

 

The 6-foot-6, 297-pounder has played in 65 career games with Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and Toronto.

 

Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth on Wednesday. "I appreciate Albert playing for us after some key injuries this past season," said Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik. "He was very professional and we now wish him all the best as he moves forward."

 

In 123 career games with the Titans, Redskins, Pats and Bucs, the 30-year-old has compiled 347 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks.

 

The Louisiana native, who played collegiately for both Tulane and Virginia, racked up 21 catches for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the 2010 regular season, adding four grabs for 57 yards in that year's Grey Cup loss to Montreal.

 

Marsh has 433 tackles and 23 interceptions in eight seasons with British Columbia. He earned his third West Division All-Star honor in 2011.

 

"The success of our defense in recent years is due in large part to having a core of experienced veterans playing key positions," said head coach Mike Benevides. "Ryan and Dante's athleticism and ability to make big plays when we need them the most make them vital parts of our team."

 

The announcement, made during an unusual video chat on Moss' 35th birthday on Monday in which the once-feared playmaker also expounded on such thought- provoking subjects as bodily waste and picking one's nose in clear view, grabbed headlines as much for its bizarreness as the well-placed timing of taking place in the mundane week after the league's title game.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
