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.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
