NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/23/2007 - Boise, ID (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Idaho State Board of Education voted Thursday to approve a new contract for Boise State football coach Chris Petersen, who led the Broncos to an undefeated record and a thrilling Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma on New Year's night.

The state approved Petersen with a five-year, $4.25 million package, making him the richest football coach in school history. The Board also approved incentives for Peterson, which could escalate his contract to over $1 million per year.

Boise State went 13-0 this past season.

State Board members also unanimously approved football coach contracts for John Zamberlin at Idaho State and Robb Akey at the University of Idaho. Akey's deal carries a $1 million buy-out if he should leave the school for other employment before two years, or the end of the 2009 season.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
