NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/06/2012 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - They're Super beyond the FCS level.

A contingent of former FCS players are reveling in the New York Giants' 21-17 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI Sunday night.

The Giants' roster includes second-year wide receiver Victor Cruz out of Massachusetts, seventh-year running back Brandon Jacobs from Southern Illinois, sixth-year offensive lineman Kevin Boothe from Cornell, fifth-year special teams standout and linebacker Zak DeOssie from Brown and third-year wide receiver Ramses Barden from Cal Poly as well as defensive end Osi Umenyiora and kicker Lawrence Tynes, who played at Troy before the program moved from Division I-AA (now FCS) to Division I-A (now FBS).

Not active for the Super Bowl were Michael Coe, a fourth-year cornerback from Alabama State who is on injured reserve, and Adrian Tracy, a rookie linebacker from William & Mary who is a member of the practice squad.

In the Giants' fourth Super Bowl win, Cruz had four receptions for 25 yards, Jacobs carried the ball nine times for 37 yards, Umenyiora was in on one tackle and Tynes kicked two field goals in the third quarter and an extra point.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
