Giants place Strahan on IR

Football Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan was placed on injured reserve Tuesday because of sprained foot.

Strahan returned to the lineup for this past Sunday's game against New Orleans after missing six games because of a Lis Franc sprain. He aggravated the injury during the 30-7 loss and will not play in the regular-season finale against Washington or the playoffs, if the Giants qualify.

The Pro Bowl lineman was first hurt during the second quarter of a November 5 game against Houston. He had five tackles against the Saints before leaving the contest.

Strahan, in his 14th season with the Giants, finished the year with just three sacks, his fewest since he registered one as a rookie in 1993.

The Giants also placed offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and kick returner Chad Morton on IR.

Petitgout suffered a broken leg on November 12 against Chicago and the Giants finally decided he would not be able return to his left tackle slot before the end of the season.

Morton, meanwhile, sustained a torn left ACL during this past Sunday's game against the Saints. It was determined that he will need surgery.

The Giants filled the three roster spots by signing wide receiver Darius Watts and tight end Darcy Johnson from their own practice squad, and running back Robert Douglas from the Houston Texans' practice squad.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
