Akers caps rally as new era begins in Philly

Football Betting Lines

08/13/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Akers made all five of his field goal attempts, the last being a 36-yarder in the fourth quarter, as Philadelphia rallied for a 28-27 win over Jacksonville in the preseason opener for both teams.

The Eagles turned the page at quarterback Friday night with Kevin Kolb officially replacing Donovan McNabb, who was traded to Washington in the offseason. Kolb, who was selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2007 draft, completed 6-of-11 passes for 95 yards and played the first quarter.

Michael Vick, who has been a lightning-rod of controversy with past discipline issues, passed for 119 yards on 11-of-17 efficiency and was intercepted once as the second string QB for Philadelphia. He also scrambled 10 yards for a touchdown.

David Garrard played the first three offensive series for the Jaguars and connected on 5-of-10 passes for 35 yards. Luke McCown finished 11-of-15 for 244 yards with three TDs through the air.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
