Steelers release veteran RB Davenport, again

Football Betting Lines

12/01/2008 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran running back Najeh Davenport on Monday for the third time this year.

He was first released by the team this past June, but was brought back at the beginning of October to bolster the backfield after the team had lost Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall to injury.

Davenport played four games with the Steelers before the club released him following Week 9. He was signed by the Steelers last Thursday, but was not active for Sunday's 33-10 win over New England.

In two-plus seasons with Pittsburgh, he has rushed for 725 yards and six touchdowns on 169 carries and has caught 33 passes for 377 yards and three scores.

In other moves on Monday, the team signed defensive tackle Scott Paxson to the active roster and re-signed rookie cornerback Roy Lewis to the practice squad.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
