Football Betting Lines

12/27/2006 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms signed a multi-year contract with the team on Wednesday.

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Simms, who has missed the majority of the season after rupturing his spleen in a Week 3 loss to Carolina, would have been an unrestricted free agent after the season.

He was taken to a local area hospital after the game and subsequently had his spleen removed.

After taking a number of hard hits, Simms left the game in the third quarter with what were believed to be sore ribs before returning in the fourth quarter. He completed 13-of-24 passes for 139 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

For the season, Simms has thrown for 585 yards with a touchdown and seven picks.

He has appeared in 19 games -- 15 starts -- with the Bucs after being drafted by the team in 2003. Simms has completed 291-of-492 passes for 3,087 yards with 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
