Eagles' coach Reid returns

Football Betting Lines

03/23/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid returned to work on Friday after spending more than a month away from the team to deal with personal issues.

Reid stepped away last month to deal with the recent legal troubles involving his sons, Britt and Garrett.

"On behalf of my family and myself, there has been a great outpouring from fans, friends, colleagues and a tremendous amount of support in Philadelphia and we appreciate that," said Reid in a press conference held on Friday morning.

He has been in frequent contact with the team during his leave to help with the free agent signings as well as preparation for the upcoming draft.

"We made some staff changes and we brought in a couple of players here that I think will help us," said Reid. "We continue to look at the free agent market and will address the areas where we need help."

Reid will now assume a full workload, and is expected to attend the owners' meeting later this month.

"I can't say walking away didn't cross my mind, but I needed to take some time to address the difficulties," said Reid. "I never got to that point where I was ready to walk away. I needed some time to sort things out the past couple of weeks. We all spend time with family and work. You have to have quality time for both.

"This is a great city to coach in. I've seen quite a few things and being able to coach in Philadelphia is quite a special thing."

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
