Football Betting Lines
11/19/2008 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill, New York Giants cornerback Aaron Ross and Arizona Cardinals kicker Neil Rackers have been selected as the NFC's top players for Week 11 of the NFL season.
Hill completed 15-of-20 passes for 213 yards with two touchdowns and ran for a score in San Francisco's 35-16 win over St. Louis. Hill racked up a career- high 142.3 passer rating while leading the Niners to a 35-3 halftime lead, the most first-half points scored by the club since 1992. San Francisco's 28 points in the second quarter tied the franchise mark for most scored in any quarter.
Ross had two interceptions, one he returned 50 yards for a touchdown, and added six solo tackles in the Giants' 30-10 win over Baltimore. It was Ross' second career two-interception game, and his second career touchdown. His second pick was a backbreaker, as it came with the Giants holding a 20-10 lead in the third quarter and Baltimore driving.
Rackers made 4-of-4 field goals and added two PATs in Arizona's 26-20 victory over Seattle. He was successful on field goals of 38, 48, 54 and 26 yards and has now made 13 straight.
Other players considered for the awards included Carolina running backs Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams, who rushed for 130 and 120 yards, respectively, in the Panthers' 31-22 win over Detroit; Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway, who had 16 tackles in a 19-13 loss to Tampa Bay; and Lions kicker Jason Hanson, who tied a franchise-record for longest field goal with his 56- yarder on Sunday.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
