Football Betting Lines
11/19/2008 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Orleans Saints placed tight end Mark Campbell and running back Aaron Stecker on the injured reserve list Wednesday, effectively ending each player's season.
Campbell, a 10-year veteran out of Michigan, caught 12 passes for 121 yards and two scores in nine contests before suffering an injury to his left knee in Sunday's victory at Kansas City.
Stecker has played through a lingering hamstring injury for most of the season, logging just 43 yards on eight carries in six games. The nine-year veteran is one of the club's five season-long captains.
To fill their spots on the roster, the Saints signed free agent running backs Darian Barnes and Mike Bell, who is two years removed from rushing for 677 yards on 157 carries for the Denver Broncos in his rookie campaign.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
