Football Betting Lines

05/28/2009 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts have granted kicker Mike Vanderjagt his release, the team announced Thursday.

Vanderjagt asked for his release, but said he will not retire in order to leave his options open.

"After many conversations with my family, we have come to the decision that after 13 years of professional football, I'm better suited to be with my family in Florida," Vanderjagt said. "At 39 years old, my priorities have changed. I enjoy my life out of the spotlight. I thoroughly appreciate all the Argonauts have done for me over the course of my career both before my time in the NFL and after."

Vanderjagt, an Oakville, Ontario native, had stints in the CFL and NFL, helping the Argos to consecutive Grey Cup titles in 1996 and '97. He was the 1996 Grey Cup Most Outstanding Canadian and was a CFL All-Star in 1997 when he scored 190 points.

Vanderjagt then left for the NFL and spent eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before playing part of one year with the Dallas Cowboys.

During his time in the NFL, Vanderjagt established a record by connecting on 86.4 percent of his field goal tries. He was perfect during the 2003 season, drilling each of his 37 field goal attempts and all 46 point-after tries.

Vanderjagt returned to the Argos in 2008, and in 18 games connected on 39- of-51 field goals and accounted for 161 points.

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.
