Hanley commits future to Blackburn

Soccer Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Blackburn, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Blackburn has handed teenage defender Grant Hanley a new five-year contract.

The Scotland Under-19 captain made his Premier League debut in the final game of last season against Aston Villa and is now under contract at Ewood Park until summer 2015.

"It is brilliant, it is what I've aspired to, it is what all the hard work goes in for," Hanley told the club's official website.

"But as they say, the hard work starts now, now that the contract has signed.

"I started off with the academy then I worked my way through the reserves and I was lucky enough to get a start with the first team at the end of the season.

"But I know what I have to do, I have to keep my head down, work hard every day in training and do the right things.

"I've not set any targets or goals for myself, just to work hard and to take every day as it comes and see what happens."

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.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
