Titans Adds Tebow Over Falcons

Football Betting Lines

"Of course I watched it," she said of last week's OT playoff win over Pittsburgh, in which a 20-yard crossing pattern-turned-80-yard touchdown landed the QB on Letterman's Top 10 a few days later. "It doesn't matter who they're playing, I'll pay attention if he's there."

 

As emphasis, in a cubicle stacked with photos, bridal books and workflow calendars, she motioned toward two desktop screen savers - one showing a helmeted Tebow's bulging left arm in mid-throw, and another with the buff 24- year-old shirtless and smiling after a workout.

 

Elsewhere in town, the vigor runs similar.

 

Outside the stadium, just an arm's length from fellow Gator legends Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel, the bronze statue of Tebow unveiled last spring draws an overwhelming majority of pre-game photography traffic from fans - both home and visiting.

 

Par for the course, says local sales executive Drew Jasinski.

 

"It's awesome how big the phenomenon has become. To me, he represents everything you want in a leader - someone you want to root for, not criticize," the 2004 graduate said. "He is part of the Gator Nation and the people who live in Gainesville. He is like family to all of us.

 

Even Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who saw Tebow's mastery first- hand during the Gators' glory years, concedes the task this weekend is a particularly tough one.

 

"They let him play how he plays," Foley said. "Throwing the ball on first down, things like that. That's what he did when he was here. You didn't see that with him before (in Denver). It works."

 

Las Vegas remains unswayed, with odds-makers generally viewing the Pats as a two-touchdown favorite on the eve of the Gillette Stadium showdown, which rewards the winner with an AFC title-game berth.

 

"If he wins, that'll be great. Because I'll to watch him play for another week," she said. "But if they lose, it won't be so bad. If he comes back to Gainesville, I'll be happy to give him a hug."

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
