Giants trade for Sage Rosenfels

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Giants have found a backup quarterback after acquiring Sage Rosenfels from the Minnesota Vikings on Friday.

The trade also saw running back and return specialist Darius Reynaud heading to New York in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick in 2011 and a conditional pick in 2012. The deal is pending passed physicals from both players.

New York had been in the market for a qualified backup to Eli Manning since Jim Sorgi was put on injured reserve earlier this week with a shoulder injury. Sorgi was signed in March after six seasons backing up Manning's brother Peyton in Indianapolis. That left second-year pro Rhett Bomar the most experienced QB behind Manning.

In Rosenfels, the Giants get a nine-year veteran with 32 games of experience and 12 NFL starts to his credit. The 32-year-old's most prolific year came in 2007 while filling in for an injured Matt Schaub in Houston. Rosenfels appeared in nine games and started five, completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 1,684 yards and 15 touchdowns, with 12 interceptions.

In 2008, Rosenfels again filled in for an injured Schaub and saw time in six games with five starts. He ended up connecting at a 66.7-percent clip for 1,431 yards and six TDs to go with 10 picks.

The Iowa State product served as the third-string quarterback in Minnesota last year behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson.

Reynaud is expected to help fill the void left by wide receiver and punt returner Domenik Hixon, who tore the ACL in his right knee during practice back in June and is expected to miss the entire season.

The 25-year-old is a third-year pro out of West Virginia that converted from wide receiver. He was fourth in the NFC last season with a 10.3-yard average on 30 punt returns. He added 90 yards on four kickoff returns.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
