New York Jets 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATES: July 29th (Rookies), Aug. 1st (Veterans)

SITE: SUNY Cortland, Cortland, NY

CAMP OBJECTIVES: Expectations are sky-high for the 2010 Jets, but unforeseen struggles or injuries during training camp could alter that thinking. The backfield needs to come together, with Mark Sanchez taking firm control of the offense and the Shonn Greene/LaDainian Tomlinson/Joe McKnight running back triumvirate complementing each other. Also, second-round guard Vladimir Ducasse (UMass) needs to show he can fill the big shoes of the departed Alan Faneca. On defense, keep an eye on Vernon Gholston, who is transitioning from outside linebacker to defensive end and is almost certainly down to his last shot. In the secondary, Brodney Pool and Eric Smith are the top candidates at the free safety position vacated by Kerry Rhodes, and first-round rookie Kyle Wilson (Boise State) and fellow newcomer Antonio Cromartie (ex-Chargers) must live up to their billing at corner. Darrelle Revis may hold out of camp to protest his contract, so Wilson and Cromartie could get a lot of meaningful reps. Nick Folk and Steve Weatherford appear locked in at kicker and punter, respectively, though neither is great shakes, so you can expect GM Mike Tannenbaum to monitor the free agent wire throughout camp.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 16 - vs. NY Giants, 8:00 PM Aug 21 - at Carolina, 8:00 PM Aug 27 - vs. Washington, 7:00 PM Sep 2 - at Philadelphia, 7:30 PM

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
