Houston Texans 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATES: July 30th

SITE: Methodist Training Center, Houston, TX

CAMP OBJECTIVES: If the Texans wish to build off last year's 9-7 finish and make the playoffs for the first time in team history, they will need to come out of camp with a bunch of questions answered on defense. In the secondary, where Dunta Robinson is now a Falcon, Houston must have the young likes of Glover Quin and first-round rookie Kareem Jackson (Alabama) bear the look of corners who are ready to deal with Peyton Manning in the not-too-distant future. Within the front seven, coordinator Frank Bush needs to determine whether Conor Barwin is ready to make an impact off the edge, and whether Xavier Adibi is prepared to hold down the fort at strongside linebacker while Brian Cushing is serving a four-game steroid suspension to start the season. The biggest battle on offense could be at running back, where Steve Slaton had fumbling and injury issues, and second-rounder Ben Tate (Auburn) and the emerging Arian Foster could push him. The special teams area to watch is at kicker, where the inconsistent Kris Brown and Neil Rackers (ex-Cardinals) are competing. Also keep an eye on diminutive return specialist Trindon Holliday (LSU), who should get lots of chances in the preseason.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 14 - at Arizona, 8:00 PM Aug 21 - at New Orleans, 8:00 PM Aug 28 - vs. Dallas, 8:00 PM Sep 2 - vs. Tampa Bay, 8:00 PM

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
