Football Betting Lines

01/19/2012 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson was indicted Thursday on a drug charge stemming from an arrest in September.

According to reports, police confiscated a package containing 2 1/2 pounds of marijuana that was being shipped from California to Simpson's Kentucky home.

When police showed up at the house in a controlled delivery, a woman, Aleen Smith, accepted the package and Simpson was discovered inside along with teammate Anthony Collins.

Police asked to search the home and found a further six pounds of marijuana along with paraphernalia.

The Enquirer reported that Simpson was charged with one count of trafficking marijuana in excess of eight ounces, a charge that could place him in prison for one to five years. Simpson's arraignment is scheduled for January 30.

Collins was not charged in the incident.

The four-year pro appeared in all 16 regular season games, starting 14, for the Bengals in 2011 and had 50 receptions for 725 yards and four touchdowns.

He also appeared in Cincinnati's playoff loss to the Houston Texans, catching three balls for 33 yards.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
