Football Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots and first-round draft pick Devin McCourty have agreed to terms of a contract.

McCourty's agent, Andy Simms, posted the news on his Twitter feed Wednesday morning.

Terms of the deal for the former Rutgers cornerback were not disclosed, but the Boston Globe reported it to be a five-year pact.

McCourty becomes just the second of this year's first-round draft picks to reach a contract agreement, joining Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant.

The Patriots selected McCourty with the 27th overall pick in April's draft. All of New England's draft choices have now agreed to contracts.

McCourty was a First-Team All-Big East choice in 2009, finishing second on the Rutgers defense with 80 tackles to go along with 10 pass breakups and one interception. He had six picks during his career and also blocked seven kicks while adding a kickoff return for a touchdown on special teams.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
